It is the end of October now, and the real cold weather has not yet arrived.

The last time Hu Kuan arranged for Hu Kuan to decorate his foot house in Wancheng, it was almost a month since he was arranged. Chen Xu was a little nervous. He didn't know if the decoration had been completed. How should he promote it? What should he sell? After thinking about it, in addition to wine and vinegar, candy is one, rice candy is one, and now tea tree fruit oil is one, and with tea tree fruit oil, it seems that he can also make some biscuits. Wancheng is a big city from north to south in the Central Plains region. There are many merchants and wealthy households, and they can be sold for money at will...

In order to make the first store in Daqin open, Chen Xu also decided to spare no expense. In addition to cigarettes, some sugar, wine, tea, oil, vinegar, and dried tofu are prepared to sell. As for the price... Humph, that must be very high. Qinghe's products must be a fine product. A cookie will be sold for at least 100 yuan. Otherwise, I'm sorry for this unique creativity that spans two thousand years of time and space.

So next, Chen Xu called Niu Dashi, who was bored at home all day, and with the help of Xing'er and Chen Jiangshi, he started to make spicy dried tofu and rice candy, and then prepared some pecan kernels and chestnut kernels, stir-fry and pound them, and then add some oil noodles and a small amount of sugar to make biscuits.

When he heard that it was cooking, Yu Wuya stopped playing chess and rolled up his sleeves to help. He had eaten spicy dried tofu and rice candy, but he had not eaten biscuits. However, according to the ingredients, it should be a delicious and delicious dish that was fragrant and sweet.

In the afternoon, Wang Wu and four others returned from Qinghe Town. In addition to picking back two large jars of tea tree fruit oil, they also brought back more than a dozen colorful porcelain bowls, as well as two large and small iron pots. What made Chen Xu most happy was that Wang San also carried a large piece of beef. After asking, he found out that it was snowing a few days ago. An old cow in the town fell to death when he went to the river to drink water. After slaughtering the butchers in the town specially left a large piece of the best for Chen Xu, which was 60 or 70 kilograms.

Yu Wuya was holding a large piece of beef and shouting excitedly: "My beef, now there is beef, please promise that my braised beef noodles should be fulfilled!"

Chen Xu also felt a little drooling and took a hoe to the bamboo forest.

"My beef noodle, hurry up and make beef noodles. Why are you doing with a hoe?" Yu Wuya hurriedly grabbed Chen Xu's arm.

"What do you know? Beef with winter bamboo shoots is the king of beef noodles. Don't be ink, find a vine basket and follow me!"

"Okay~" Yu Wuya quickly carried a vine basket and followed Chen Xu to the bamboo forest.

There are several large bamboo forests near Xiaohe Village, and bamboo shoots are also an important source of vegetables for farmers. Every spring, every household in the village will break a lot of fresh bamboo shoots and dry them in the drying and storing them. However, Chen Xu's family rarely has to farm because Chen Jiang takes care of two children alone and has to farm. He has no time to make it, and the little stored is already eaten by the stewed meat.

In addition, there are too many people in the Chen Xu family now, and Wang Wusi's guards and Yu Wuya are all foodies. Every meal is about pounds of rice and flour. At that time, Chen Xu guessed that he could not finish his official rank of sixty stones a year and dozens of stones of grain he planted at home, but now it is estimated that he will finish it until the spring is over. Not only that, there are seven or eight more horses at home. In addition to fodder, he has to feed a few kilograms of soybeans every day. This is another large expense, so Chen Xu is almost unable to afford it.

In addition to the food, meat was also the same. Last time I returned from Wancheng, I slaughtered all the six wild boars in the pigpen, and made seven or eight hundred kilograms of meat. I made a lot of bacon and sausages, which were densely hung on the beams of the kitchen, but it was decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye every day. It was probably at most that I could carry it until the beginning of spring, and then the whole family would have to cut off the meat, rice and food.

Alas! Chen Xu waved his hoe and dug bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest. He felt so depressed that he couldn't breathe.

"Why did my benefactor sigh again? Do you have any worries? I know Wuya, maybe I can help you solve it!" Yu Wuya squatted on the ground and cleaned the soil on the winter bamboo shoots dug out by Chen Xu and put them into the vine basket.

"I'll be happy if you eat less!" Chen Xu said angrily.

"How can I make it? The dishes my beloved cooked are so delicious that I will think of them if I don't eat them!" Yu Wuya suddenly shook his head like a rattle.

Alas, Chen Xu's face turned black so hard that he couldn't help but sigh again.

"My benefactor, don't be fooled. Now there are many people in the family, and the food is indeed consumed very much, but my benefactor Don't worry, as long as the weather is sunny, my junior sister and I go to Wancheng to get the Shui family to transport hundreds of stones of food, and guarantee that you and your sister-in-law will not let you and your sister-in-law go hungry next year!" Although Yu Wuya is a foodie, he still noticed Chen Xu's worries from Chen Xu's joking tone.

"Don't the food of the Shui family cost money?" Chen Xu couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"Shui family, merchants, have no power or power. Now the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty are very harsh on merchants. At that time, the head of the Shui family and his master had a relationship, so he tried his best to send his junior sister to Lushan to study and practice with his master, just to find a safe backer for the Shui family. The name of the master is in the Central Plains and even in the Great Qin Dynasty, which is a noble identity that no one can underestimate. With this name of the master and the disciple, anyone who wants to touch the Shui family has to consider it again and again. Otherwise, the ten Shui families together may not be able to match the finger of the Wancheng official. There is a junior sister.

Only by protecting the identity can the Shui family be prosperous in Wancheng. I don’t know how much trouble it has been saved. Even the county magistrate Ma Boyuan dare not touch it easily. Otherwise, if the junior sister is so young, the head of the Shui family must obey her arrangements? So the benefactor does not have to care about the Shui family’s ideas. As long as the junior sister speaks, they will definitely spare no effort. In addition, the junior sister and benefactor are in love. Once the benefactor becomes prosperous in the future, the status of the Shui family will inevitably rise. Has the benefactor forgotten the strange goods Lu Buwei?" Yu Wuya said indifferently.

Chen Xu remained silent.

In this fucking era, everything is different from that of later generations. We cannot view and deal with the current situation with the perspective and philosophy of later generations.

"My benefactor, since you want to assist the First Emperor Zhao Zheng, why don't you go directly to Xianyang to offer strategies for governing the country, but stay in Qinghe Town all day long to study food, drink and other strange things?" Yu Wuya asked in silence for a while.

"I don't understand the person of the First Emperor, and Xianyang is like a deep spring. Li Si Mengyi and Zhao Gao are not people who are good at each other. Once I step in too early, I have no roots or power, and I may be invisible if I am not careful. Li Si is doing his best to promote the Legalist concept. If I want to change the Qin Dynasty, I will inevitably have conflicts with him. Moreover, the Qin Dynasty has been promoting the Legalist rule for five generations. The Legalist concept has been deeply rooted and has been easily unshakable. Moreover, Li Si has been deeply trusted by Zhao Zheng. If I want to change the government concept of the court and Zhao Zheng's ideas, how sure do you think you will be?" Chen Xu stopped and asked.

After Yu Wuya was silent for a long time, he nodded with a serious expression and said, "Maybe there is no point!"

"Yes, no one is there. This is why I have been staying in Qinghe Town or even Xiaohe Village. The trees are so beautiful that the wind will destroy them. The piles are from the shore and the current will rush. The road is higher than the people, and the people will refute them. I am still young now. If I stand in the court and have no support, how can I make Zhao Zheng believe that I can help him enrich the country and the people, and how can I make the civil and military officials in the court believe that I will not touch their interests. The gentry in the world is bustling to Xianyang, all for fame and fortune, like

The modern Qin Dynasty's philosophy of governing the country was not shaken by Confucianism and Mohism, and even the many disciples of Confucianism and Mohism. Why was it so shaken by me, a little boy? Just like the last time I abandoned papermaking, I improved the farm tools and made the kang and promoted it first with the emperor's hands. Whether in the court, the people or even in Zhao Zheng's heart, I first gained a reputation. And brewed wine, developed food, and made pastries for only one purpose, that is, to make people believe that I am a foodie without threats..."

"Foodie?" Yu Wuya's face was full of surprise.

"Yes, it's just you!" Chen Xu said lightly.

Yu Wuya:...

"Did you see these winter bamboo shoots?" Chen Xu pointed at the tip of a winter bamboo shoot that was dug out of the soil with a hoe, like a spike, with dense layers of thick bamboo shells on the outside.

"How about winter bamboo shoots?" Yu Wuya asked with a pale head.

"This winter bamboo shoot seems not big, but it has been buried in the soil for at least seven or eight years. It will take at least ten years to wait for it to grow. However, once spring breaks through the ground, it can grow several feet a day and night, and grow several feet a year or more. Do you know a stunning story?" Chen Xu asked after he finished speaking.

"I know!" Yu Wuya nodded, "This is a story about King Zhuang of Chu. The Right Sima Wuju gave a memorial to King Zhuang of Chu, using birds as a metaphor for King Zhuang of Chu. He did not fly for ten years and soared into the sky. He did not sing for ten years and made a shocking sound. So King Zhuang of Chu followed his advice and was diligent in politics. He quickly developed the governance of Chu into a powerful country, defeated Qi and Jin, and established his hegemony in one fell swoop. However, the benefactor was not very different from King Zhuang of Chu. He was the king, and you were just a Li Dian..."

"Although the status is different, the principle of accumulating strength is the same. What I do now is to constantly accumulate, accumulate popularity, accumulate reputation, accumulate experience, and accumulate to a certain level. Once I step into the court, I can make a splash with these accumulations. If I wait until then, I will study these things, it may be like a threshing machine and an improved copper saw, and I will only make wedding dresses for others. Through Meng Yun's affairs, we can see that the relationships in the Xianyang court are complicated. Once I get caught in the battle of power, I will only be more dangerous. I now have my mother and little sister to take care of, so I cannot make any mistakes and cannot get them into a dangerous situation. Daqin, if I can save you, I will save you. If I cannot save you, I will naturally be second-hand..."

"So that's it!" Yu Wuya nodded, with a relaxed look on his face and said, "My benefactor's last idea is right. In fact, there is nothing to save the Qin Dynasty. It's better if it collapses. Zhao Zheng is a stubborn and domineering person. The Legalist philosophy promoted by Li Si is not popular. If you can't save it, you can't save it. Why should you strive for it? If the Qin Dynasty collapses in the future, I will support you as the King of Nanyang..."
