The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 263 Er Qiao, Living Like This, What Can I Ask For?
Then, for several days.

Everywhere in Jingxiang is also unfolding in an orderly manner.

The fear of the replacement of the new currency gradually dissipated, and the four counties in Jingnan gradually accepted the new currency. As for Yangzhou, Zhuge Liang was also actively promoting the new currency.

He knew Zhang Xiu's purpose of promoting the new currency, but Yangzhou's control time was limited, so that countless people simply ignored it or did not trust the court.

There is no way, they don't have much money in their family, and they can't gamble all their wealth on Zhang Xiu's forces who have newly established a regime, because these princes and tyrants have done too many bad things.

In this regard, Zhuge Liang could only induce persuasion while closing the business road, temporarily preventing Yangzhou from establishing diplomatic relations with the Central Plains, so as to avoid getting time and goods.

Bridge House, the backyard.

Waterside pavilions and terraces, flowers, plants and rocks are arranged.

At this time, only a voice like a silver bell sounded, "Sister, Prime Minister, bah, brother-in-law is here."

Inside the pavilion, Da Qiao was wearing a light green dress. She was tall, intellectual, mature, and knowledgeable.

At this time, she was sewing a handkerchief with a needle and thread in her hand, and it looked like two little people were holding hands.Hearing Xiao Qiao's voice, Da Qiao's beautiful eyes trembled.

With joy in her heart, she glanced at her lively and petite sister, and said angrily, "Shuang, when the prime minister arrives, you must not talk nonsense, do you hear me?"

"No, he hasn't come to accompany you for such a long time, sister, you have to show him some color, why don't you ignore him for a while, sister, and see how he reacts."

Xiao Qiao said angrily, the most important thing is that Zhang Xiu doesn't come to take him out to play, it's too annoying.

"Don't talk nonsense, the prime minister has a lot of things to do every day, and it's common for him to have no time to care about his children's love. Why should we blame him?" Da Qiao said solemnly.

I have to say that Da Qiao's knowledge and understanding make people comfortable.

And Da Qiao also prefers Zhang Xiu's way of serving the country and the people. On the contrary, if there is too much love for children in her, she will look down on her.

Little Qiaoao said something, curled the corner of her mouth, disapproving, she hates her brother-in-law to death, how long has it been?A total of only a few times.

Moreover, it has been more than half a year since he promised to marry his sister in Jingzhou, so it is really unreliable.So that she was full of resentment.

At this time, Zhang Xiu strode over.

Looking at the two sisters, Big and Little Qiao, although they have met more than once, it is still impressive. The beauty of these sisters is really impressive.

If it wasn't for the tense war before and various trivial matters, he would have already settled Da Qiao into the house, and half a year has passed since then, and he feels guilty.

"My family has met the prime minister." Da Qiao said gently.

Xiao Qiao twitched the corners of her lips, not bothering to talk to Zhang Xiu, but under her sister's threatening eyes, she could only pout her lips in anger.

"Hehe, you don't have to be so polite."

"Hu'er, you can go out after putting down your things." Zhang Xiu looked at Hu Che'er and said.

"No!" Hu Che'er responded, then greeted the guards behind him, and handed over all the things he had brought.

Jewelry made of gold, silver and jade,

All kinds of cloth and satin, as well as various supplements, and even some snacks.

In addition to these, there is an iron shelf stacked by the pond, as well as a pile of charcoal and some ingredients.

"Prime Minister, you are." Da Qiao hesitated with her beautiful eyes.

"Some small gifts are not worth mentioning." Zhang Xiu waved his hand, "I'm so busy with government affairs these days, it's really hard for you, and I didn't take care of your feelings."

"After winter, you and I will get married."

Although Da Qiao was intellectual, she was still a little shy at this moment. She had repeatedly made excuses for Zhang Xiu not to come, but when this reason came out of his mouth, Da Qiao's complaints disappeared.

Xiao Qiao curled her lips, instead of looking at the presents, she fiddled with the iron shelf that Zhang Xiu brought, looked at the ingredients next to her, and said, "Brother-in-law, is this food delicious for you?"

"Hehe, I improved this one. The meat was picked up early in the morning by someone to marinate, and the vegetables are not available to ordinary people. As for the seasoning used for marinating, you must have never seen it before."

Zhang Xiu felt a little confident.

He improved the barbecue grill he used for skewers, and it is a charcoal-filled type.Divided into two parts, one side is grilled and the other side is fried, and it is delicious with seasoning that is not available in this era.

The key is that I also brought two jars of blended fruit wine.

These fruit wines are not simple. They are blended by Zhang Xiu with the fine nectar and jade liquid rewarded by the system. The fine nectar and jade liquid itself tastes sweet and full of aroma.

However, the quantity is limited, so Zhang Xiu took it and blended it for a try. Unexpectedly, mixing it with fruit wine not only fully retained the fruity sweetness of the fruit wine, but also added a hint of intoxicating aroma.

Although the medicinal effect of this thing has been diluted a bit, it can still beautify the face, prolong life, and even enhance intelligence and force, which is a priceless treasure.

"Brother-in-law, sister just said you were hungry!"

Xiao Qiao rolled her eyes, looked at Zhang Xiu and said.

Big Joe:"???"

She looked quite helpless, and there was nothing she could do about this younger sister.This is the prime minister of the current court, with all the power in the court, and she is playing such a clever trick, asking Zhang Xiu to get her something to eat.

Isn't this courageous?
Don't say that you are not married yet, even if you are married, you can't do this, right?

Thinking of this, Da Qiao apologized a little: "Prime Minister, my younger sister is not familiar with the world, so I hope the Prime Minister will take care of it. Ying knows a little bit how to use this thing, and the Prime Minister can do it later."

Zhang Xiu pursed the corners of her lips, hesitating a little, if it was an outsider, let alone let her do it, even if she let herself eat it, she wouldn't care, but Xiao Qiao is her own woman, so it doesn't matter if she is considerate.

"No, you just watch from the side, I'll do it." Zhang Xiu said brightly, "But you have to learn this time, next time I will lie down and wait to eat."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiu rolled up her loose sleeve gown, and seriously started to play with the eating guys.

The grill is set up, the charcoal made before is taken out, ignited, and sent to the grill.Let the charcoal fire heat up first, and he cuts the meat with a dagger beside him.

Beef, mutton, and pork are all available, very fresh.

The skewers are skewered on bamboo sticks, and the meat skewers are fat and thin, and they are soaked in seasonings for a morning in advance, which has a little more taste than ordinary meat.

Among them, there are several steaks from the spine.

The meat in this place is the most tender and delicious, with almost no fat, and this is the place where the beef is fried and eaten. It has a good texture and chewy texture.

It's time to fry and eat.

In addition to several kinds of pigs, cattle and sheep, there are also some chicken gizzards, chicken wings and so on.

As for the vegetables, they were all grown in Zhang Xiu's own vegetable garden. Due to the limited supply of these vegetables by the system, he and the ministers below could only taste them.

This time he brought several eggplants, peppers, beans, potatoes, and some green vegetables that were growing well, which looked like a big bamboo basket.

"Brother-in-law, what is this purple thing?" Xiao Qiao couldn't help asking curiously because she had never seen or eaten most of these things.

"Eggplants can be shredded and stir-fried, or chopped into pieces and stewed with meat, but the taste of these two is average, and the umami taste of eggplants is wasted."

"Today I'm making eggplant and garlic vermicelli for you. I've cooked the garlic seasoning before. Go and soak the vermicelli."

Zhang Xiu pointed to the thinner fans not far away.

The production of vermicelli is relatively simple. There are also powder products in the late Han Dynasty, but they are not as refined as I am, and my powder is made from potatoes before.

I ate a little, and it tasted pretty good.

"Oh!" Xiao Qiao looked away from the other things, used the fastest speed to get the clay pot and soaked it, and then asked questions there.

Even Da Qiao, who was quiet and talkative in the past, gradually became more active. She found that there were indeed many things that Zhang Xiu brought that she had never seen before.

After a while, the iron plate and barbecue net became hot.

Zhang Xiu is really a bit like a chef. First, he brushed a layer of oil on it, and the sizzling sound even brought out the fire.

Immediately afterwards, beef skewers, fat and thin lamb skewers and pork skewers were put on the grill one after another, and the contact between the raw meat and the grilling net immediately made a sizzling sound.

It sounds very good, very pleasing to the ear.

Especially as time went by, the fragrance overflowed, which also made Xiao Qiao's saliva flow, showing an unbearable expression.

"Don't worry, it's not quite cooked yet." Zhang Xiu took out various seasonings and sprinkled them on top, while not forgetting the reminder.At the same time, Zhang Xiu put the skewered green peppers, beans, potatoes, etc. on it.

Vegetables need to be protected with oil to prevent them from burning.

Ten breaths later, Zhang Xiu took a look and said with a light smile, "Okay."

There are dozens of strings in total, and the vegetables and meat come out as soon as possible, and put them on the plate.

Then, Zhang Xiu handed the prepared dipping ingredients to Qiao and Qiao respectively, and at the same time opened a jar of fruit wine, and poured glasses for the two daughters respectively, which was very pleasant.

"It smells so good," Xiao Qiao's eyes lit up, she moved her nose close to the fruit wine, and took a deep breath. It was a rich and clear fragrance, not disgusting, but intoxicating.

Da Qiao also nodded in agreement.

Zhang Xiu prepared a lot for their sisters.

"This is celestial wine, which is hard to buy. Drinking it can relieve fatigue, keep your face beautified, prolong your life, and even strengthen your body and intelligence."

Zhang Xiu said without exaggeration.

"Immortal wine? Deceitful." Xiao Qiao curled her lips, then took a sip from the cup, only feeling that the fruit wine had a long and lingering mouthfeel, very soft but sweet, leaving a fragrance on her lips and teeth.

"Really, it's really delicious." Xiao Qiao's eyes lit up, and he drank several more sips in a row, feeling unsatisfied, no wonder it is said to be fairy wine, and the feeling is so delicious.

Da Qiao also took a sip of the fruit wine, her beautiful eyes trembled, yes, it was really delicious.

Zhang Xiu really didn't care about the second daughter, but with two peerless beauties at his side, what more could a husband ask for, isn't that the life Zhang Xiu pursued?

In the future, I will live in seclusion in the fields and deep mountains, go fishing and walk the dog for nothing, and spend time with these stunning ladies from time to time, strolling around, or cooking some delicious food.

Flying kites, children and grandchildren full house.

This kind of life is really desirable.

Thinking about it, Zhang Xiu shook his head with emotion, soon, he will retire and play with his favorite things when he dominates the world.

Involuntarily, Zhang Xiu grabbed a bunch of mutton and dipped it in the sauce, the corner of his mouth was oily, fat and thin, not greasy but very fragrant, very good.

Xiao Qiao's face turned slightly red. She drank alcohol. Although the fruit wine had no strength, the girl didn't drink much, which was normal.

She glanced at Zhang Xiu, grabbed a bunch of mutton and dipped it in the sauce in front of her. When she took it in her mouth, the aroma of the mutton was mixed with the numbing but not spicy sauce, and several flavors bloomed in her mouth.

"Well, delicious!" Xiao Qiao nodded vigorously.

The way he looked at Zhang Xiu changed, he became a little admiring, and even had a little urge to promise him with his body, the brother-in-law's cooking was really delicious.

Looking at that little expression, Zhang Xiu smiled naturally and easily.However, there was a shortage of seasonings at the end of the Han Dynasty, which was almost salt. Rich people had cornel, but the taste of cornel was really mediocre.

As a result, this seasoning is very appetizing.

After Zhang Xiu finished eating two skewers, he found that the skewer on the table disappeared quickly, while Xiao Qiao muttered that it was delicious, and stuffed it into his mouth desperately.

So much so that the big Joe next to him was dumbfounded.

Zhang Xiu got up and picked out two steaks with tongs. The steaks had been modified and the thickness was not too big or small. They were lightly oiled and fried directly on the iron plate.

This beef can be eaten when it is mature.

It's just that Zhang Xiu's Chinese food culture made him unable to finish his mouth, at least he had to fry it until he was half-baked.

At the same time, Zhang Xiu put a few growing eggplants on the grill and rolled them back and forth to let the eggplants be heated evenly.

After roasting for about three to five minutes, seeing that the skin of the eggplant was dehydrated and a little brittle, Zhang Xiu raised a dagger and scratched the surface of the eggplant.

Spread it out, and change the inner core to a knife.

The horizontal and vertical knives are densely covered, and then Zhang Xiu put the soaked vermicelli on top, poured the boiled minced garlic sauce into it, and changed it to the side to roast on a low heat.

About two or three minutes, you can vaguely see the churn inside the eggplant, and it is cooked.Each eggplant is so big that a plate can barely hold it.

"Come, try the epoch-making craftsmanship."

Zhang Xiu is very satisfied with the eggplant dish she made.

Without waiting for Zhang Xiu to finish speaking, Xiao Qiao whimpered: "Okay, delicious." After finishing speaking, she held the cup and took another sip of the wine, feeling very comfortable.

Da Qiao seldom has such a big appetite. If it weren't for Zhang Xiu, she probably would have disregarded etiquette. Today's food is indeed the best she has eaten in many years.

Next, a few pieces of beef are out of the pan.

The corners of the mouths of several people were full of oil stains.

It took a long time before the charcoal fire was extinguished. The two women and one man were all fed up, and there was not a single drop of the five-jin jar of fruit wine left.

After drinking and eating, the three began to chat.

From daily chores, to battles on the battlefield, to Pretty in Pink.

At this time, the sun is shining brightly.

The afternoon sun was shining, and the few people were lying by the pool, quite comfortable.

However, Hu Che'er came quickly, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, Diao Chan is giving birth, and Doctor Wen Po has arrived."

"Diao Chan gave birth?" Zhang Xiu was instinctively nervous, this is her own child, can you not be nervous?Moreover, Diao Chan is currently her own woman, and the death rate of giving birth to children was very high in ancient times.

"???"

Xiao Qiao's eyes showed surprise, and she raised her eyebrows and said, "Brother-in-law, isn't Diao Chan a woman of Marquis Lu Wen? Why are you so excited about her having a baby?"

"Could it be that this is your brother-in-law's child?"

Zhang Xiu: "???"

In an instant, Zhang Xiu expressed doubts about life.

"Shuang, don't talk nonsense." Da Qiao was solemn for a moment, and shouted at Xiao Qiao.

"Oh!" Xiao Qiao responded obediently, but out of the corner of her eyes, she clearly saw Zhang Xiu's panic just now, so it couldn't be...it was her brother-in-law's child, right?

"Diao Chan is Lu Ji's aunt, and now she is giving birth, I will go and take care of her." Zhang Xiu was restless and slightly apologetic, and then he went straight to Lu's residence.
