Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 155 Hot Pot?

"Your Majesty." Li Si stood up and said at this time: "The most troublesome thing at the moment is the problem of keeping out the cold. Now that the snow is still falling, once the snow melts, the people are not prepared to resist the severe cold. I am afraid that the people who will freeze to death in the future will have more people." many!"

Hearing this, Feng Jie took it for granted, and echoed, "Yes, Your Majesty, it started snowing in Xianyang City last night, and it hasn't stopped until now, and according to the news from Taichang, I'm afraid there will be another heavy snowfall. In the next few days."

"Once the roads and cities are closed due to heavy snowfall, the entire Guanzhong area, and even the people within the entire area covered by the snow disaster, will have a hard time!"

What Feng Jie and Li Si said were the truth, and this was what Ying Zheng thought of, but the most troublesome thing.

How to keep out the cold and how to relieve disasters, these are already two sharp swords hanging over Ying Zheng's head, making Ying Zheng restless.

At this time, in the main hall, a cold wind blew unexpectedly, and the officials present suddenly shuddered.

Ying Zheng also felt cold all over, and they were all still in the hall, wearing thick cloth clothes, but they still felt cold, let alone the people who were exposed to the ice and snow.

People in this kind of weather, even if they were lucky enough not to freeze to death, would probably lose half their lives later on, or even be disabled by frostbite.

Suddenly, Ying Zheng remembered the cotton-padded clothes that Meng Jiangnv and Zhao Yi mentioned in the prince's mansion.

"Do you all know about cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold?" Ying Zheng blurted out, looking at the courtiers around.

The courtiers looked at each other and shook their heads one after another. How could they know what a cotton coat is, and they had never even heard of cotton.

In this era, cotton is simply a strange thing. Seeing the appearance of the officials, Ying Zheng made up his mind.

"Left Prime Minister, Right Prime Minister, Doctor Yushi, follow me to the Prince's Mansion, the Prince should have something to do." Ying Zheng took the lead.

"Your Majesty, the prince really has a solution? Impossible, the prince is probably not even getting out of bed now!"

Li Si and Feng Quji really knew Zhao Yi too well. According to the weather in front of them, Zhao Yi was probably still hiding under the covers and sleeping with his beautiful maidservant!

Ying Zheng didn't explain, once he opened his mouth, even if someone persuaded him, he didn't stop for half a minute, so a large group of people surrounded Ying Zheng and soon arrived outside the prince's mansion.

Along the way, white snow can be seen everywhere. In addition, it is still snowing in the sky. When the snow falls on people, it quickly melts into water. When the cold wind blows, everyone feels the cold even more.

Yingzheng was also cold. He felt that his hands were numb at this time, but his eyes were still full of hope, and he explained to the officials as he walked: "The prince mentioned something called a cotton padded jacket before, and he said that he would wear a cotton padded jacket. , and five sackcloths on top of it."

"What?" With Ying Zheng's words, the ministers who heard the scene gasped one after another, but they inhaled too much cold air, which made the crowd cough one after another in an instant.

But Li Si and Feng Quji didn't have time to care about those ministers, so they hurriedly questioned Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, it is true. Cotton clothes can have such a miraculous effect. One can be as good as five linen clothes?"

"If that's the case, you must see it well. The prince has such a good thing, why didn't he give it away earlier?"

When he arrived at the East Palace, Ying Zheng looked at the large group of people behind him, frowned slightly, thinking that too many people would go in, and he didn't know how Zhao Yi would arrange himself, so he only brought Li Si and Feng Quji in, and let the others go back to their homes. Find each mother to keep out the cold.

When Ying Zheng and the others stepped into the Prince's Mansion, before entering the main hall, they could smell a tempting smell of meat outside the house.

Neither Ying Zheng nor Li Si and the others had ever smelled this fragrance before, and it made the three of them immobilized for a moment.

"Your Majesty, is this the prince's meal? Why is it so delicious?"

"It's such a cold day, the prince still has the leisure and elegance to cook delicious food. It's really good to enjoy it!"

Ying Zheng ignored the words of the two prime ministers and went straight to the main hall. He was already hungry and thirsty, and soon found the source of the fragrance.

In the side room of the main hall, it was actually steaming. On the long table in the room, there was a cauldron with a strange shape, and the aroma came from the cauldron.

Zhao Yi, Ying Liman, Feng Shuyi, Wang Wanting, and Meng Jiangnv were all gathered around the cauldron on the table at this time, eating happily one by one, but when they saw Ying Zheng and others barging in, they hurriedly put down the food in their hands. Cutlery, stepped forward to salute Ying Zheng and others.

"Father, why are you here, hurry up, sit inside!"

The girl is thin-skinned, but she also knows how to be sensible. Looking at the weather-beaten Ying Zheng, Li Si and others, she hurriedly invited people to sit down.

Only Zhao Yi saw the three of them, and his heart skipped a beat. Taking advantage of no one's attention, he quickly scooped up the meat in the pot and quickly put it into his own bowl.

[Fuck, the old man really knows how to pick his time, isn't it snowing outside, it can't stop him! 】

[Could it be that Heibing and his gang sued me again? It’s rare for me to take so many beauties to eat hot pot once, so he came to find them. How the hell do I eat them? 】

[It doesn't matter, I'll eat the meat first, otherwise I won't be able to eat it later! 】

[Li Si and Feng Quji are here too, damn it, they didn’t come here for a meal with the old man, did they? This is because I sincerely want to make me unable to enjoy the hot pot, no, it’s time to make it up at night! 】

[Don't call these girls anymore, I still eat with my beautiful maids, I still eat with them the happiest! 】

Zhao Yi's heartfelt words fell into Ying Zheng's mind. Ying Zheng couldn't help but rolled his eyes, but he was interested in the steaming hot pot in front of him.

This kind of pot is rare in Daqin. There is actually a fire inside, and the water outside is boiling. The water is actually white, and there are various delicacies floating and rolling inside.

Looking at the situation, Ying Zheng didn't know how to express his feelings.

Now Xianyang and even the entire Guanzhong region have been hit by disasters, and people have froze to death. The prince actually still wants to enjoy delicious food with his women.
"Hurry up, father, this is a freshly killed lamb. It was captured during the battle against the Xiongnu and the Yuezhi. It is used to scald it in a hot pot and served with the prince's brother's dipping sauce. It is delicious!"

Without Zhao Yi's instructions, the servants of the Prince's Mansion hurriedly brought bowls and chopsticks to Ying Zheng, Li Si and others. Before Ying Zheng could make a move, he had already asked Ying Liman and Feng Shuyi to fill his bowl with various ingredients .

Soon, Ying Zheng, Li Si and others, under the guidance of Ying Liman and others, cooked the meat and vegetables, and soon ate to the fullest.

And it didn't take long for them to discover that they were still feeling cold just now, but they felt hot all over after eating a few mouthfuls. Li Si and Feng Quji were even more amazed after eating.
