It seems that I am still too full [travel]
Chapter 30
Xie Shi didn't stop the craftsman's hand, and there were pots of late-night snacks on the desk.Different from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, the raw pickled seafood in the Chaoshan area likes to eat fresh, pickled and eaten immediately. In ancient times when there was no refrigerator to keep warm, Xie Shi did not like to eat overnight raw pickled seafood.
Looking at the supper that is definitely more than one person in front of him, Xie Shi rested his chin on his hands and thought about it. It is better to have fun alone than to have fun with others. How can we not share the delicious food with the "neighbors" next door?According to his observation, the "neighbor" next door is a big eater who is easy to feed.
Xie Shi wrote an invitation post casually, and asked Wang Jia to send it to Mei Lin Zhai, inviting people to have dinner.Just after dusk, before the moon climbed over the treetops, Wang Jia went to deliver the letter by familiar ways.
When Xie Shi was preparing to welcome the guests, when he looked up at the sky, a line of poetry suddenly flashed in his mind——
Willow head on the moon, after dusk.
Xie Shi was immediately amused by his association.However, when the person waiting for the appointment came, Xie Shi felt it was even more funny. He saw that Han Ji was the leader, followed by three slightly cautious subordinates. Zhuge had the same type of feather fan, but when Xie Shi looked over, he secretly greeted him.
Xie Shi: Is this the second face of people in the workplace in front of leaders?
Han Ji stepped forward and stretched out his hand, and handed over the visiting gift in his hand, "Take the liberty to visit, this is a gift."
Maybe it's because the two have dealt too much recently. Xie Shi and Han Ji don't get along like superiors and subordinates, but like close friends. Did you bring your subordinates to my house for supper?"
A trace of helplessness flashed across Han Ji's eyebrows, "I heard that you invited them, but they insisted on following."
When Han Ji received Xie Shi's invitation, he was discussing important matters with everyone in the study.As a qualified protagonist, he naturally couldn't leave his subordinates who worked overtime and went to enjoy the feeding by himself, so Han Ji generously said that they would each go home and not work overtime tonight, and then he would go to the appointment alone.
Cen Yu, who still has a lot of eyes, saw that it was tricky, and after beating around the bush and asking, he brazenly led his colleagues to follow him for supper.
Cen Yu pulled Qi Chen up as a shield, "This is Qi Chen, Qi Jiaoxi, Tan Wei hasn't seen it before, the martial arts teacher of our Dongcang Academy, colleagues should always get to know each other."
Qi Teng was picked up and slipped out alone, so he had no choice but to come out, and when he thanked him, he cupped his hands and said: "I have long admired you, Mr. Xie, and today I came to visit with the head of the mountain. Please forgive me for coming uninvited."
Xie Shi naturally doesn't mind a few more people, the crowd is also lively, and most of them are acquaintances, even looking at the oldest and unsmiling Qiu Zhi, he said a few words - mainly because Qiu Zhi wanted to give his family a bitter summer. The old lady brought some cakes that Xie Shi made, and at this time he also saluted and welcomed people in with a smile.
The others consciously waited for Han Ji to enter the door before heeling up, and they were always one step behind.Xie Shi didn't notice this detail at first, but when he was talking to Han Ji, he inadvertently found that Cen Yu and the others were walking behind silently, with him and Han Ji standing shoulder to shoulder in front.Seeing him talking, Han Ji stopped, and couldn't help but show him what's wrong with his eyes. Xie Shi thought it was funny, and whispered at him, "Brother Han is very powerful."
Han Ji was a little confused as to why he was talking about him like that, but Xie Shi didn't intend to explain his weird jokes to him. Instead, he changed the subject and asked everyone: "Today I'm entertaining you all with a feast of raw pickles, but some people can't Eating raw food? If there is, I will ask someone to prepare some other food, and keep the hospitality thoughtful."
Since the former dynasty, it has been common to eat fish meat, especially in the coastal areas of south of Lingnan and Fujian.Among the four, only Qi Qi was not a native of the South, but every year when the Han family's cargo ship went to sea, he needed to escort him, and he was floating at sea for a period of time.
Xie Shi suddenly realized that most modern people cannot accept raw seafood due to poor water conditions or hygienic considerations, but fashionable ancient people dared to eat anything and could eat anything!The guests didn't reject it, so Xie Shi felt relieved, but he still ordered the kitchen helpers to prepare more hot porridge and other side dishes.
In the house, all the gentlemen sat down.Under the candlelight, Xie Shi discovered that the gift Han Ji gave was a few bottles of wine. On the wine bottle, which was as white as jade, there were a few strokes, and a few plum blossoms bloomed in the snow scene. It looks like a master's handwriting.
It just so happens that today I eat raw marinade, and it can be paired with wine to neutralize the coldness of some seafood.When thanking, he ordered people to fetch the wine utensils, unscrewed the wine bottles, and filled them one by one.
In an instant, a clear plum fragrance filled the tip of the nose, but soon everyone discovered that this noble floral fragrance was just a superficial cover-up, when you thought it was just a gentle and elegant gentleman, it would use domineering The extremely boozy aftertaste tells you its intense mellow aroma.The before and after comparison is very contrasting.
Cen Yu, Qi Teng and Qiu Zhi looked at each other, each hiding their surprise.Xie Shi didn't know that these seemingly ordinary bottles of plum wine were actually brewed by Han Ji himself, and even the plum blossoms on the porcelain bottles were his paintings.
The petals of this plum wine are taken from the plum blossoms that bloom in winter in the plum grove behind Meilinzhai. The water for making wine is also the clean snow water from the top of the snow peak of Longfeng Mountain. Han Ji brews more than a dozen bottles every year. Drink it for yourself, never give it away easily, even when his respected teacher was around in the past, he could only ask for a few bottles from him, and he definitely didn't take the initiative to give it away!
Cen Yu and the others have only heard of its name, and have never tasted this Han family plum wine. They never expected to get here today with the help of Xie Shi!It has to be said that the aroma of the wine alone has already made people mesmerized, as if they were in the ice and snow, sniffing the faint fragrance of the proud plum blossoms in front of them.
Even Xie Shi, who didn't know much about wine, was amazed. He asked Han Ji, "What kind of wine is this?"
Han Ji said lightly, "It's just home-brewed plum wine."
Xie Shizan said: "Sure enough, the Han family has produced a large number of talents. This brewer's craftsmanship is so good that even an ordinary person like me who doesn't understand wine has been captured."
Han Ji smiled and said, "As long as you like it."
Cen Yu and the others were speechless and choked: Hey, why do I feel like I haven't eaten supper yet, I'm a little bit full, weird...
The highlight of the supper is naturally pickled crabs. The iced crab meat is more firm and springy, and the cream is full of yellow. It has begun to separate from the crab shell. You only need to suck it lightly, and the extremely tender crab meat will automatically slide into your mouth In the middle, the crab roe in the crab cover has already been soaked in the marinated juice. When you gently scoop it into your mouth, it can be so fresh that the tip of your tongue is numb.
After eating a whole crab, Xie Shi casually picked up the wine glass for a drink. The taste of plum wine really lived up to people’s high expectations. It was refreshing and cool to the bone, and when it reached the stomach, it became spicy with warmth.
Xie Shi feels that the taste of Han’s plum wine is similar to Shaoxing wine, but its clearness and unique plum fragrance surpasses that of Shaoxing wine.Cen Yu and the others were also full of praise for it, thinking that only Xie Shi's immortal craftsmanship could be worthy of this fine nectar that should only exist in the sky.
Only Han Ji, who sat at the top, was silent, but if you look closely, you will find that he has the highest frequency of picking chopsticks, and he is the type who eats the most silently among the diners.
Apart from the raw pickled crab, the most popular one is the raw pickled shrimp.Shrimp prawn is what Chaoshan people call Pippi shrimp or Laipi prawn. Xie Shi cut the shrimp into three pieces and put them in the marinade for the convenience of tasting and eating.
If the prawns are eaten raw, the meat will be softer and smoother, but anyone who has eaten the prawns knows that its shell is sharper, and people who do not know how to eat it will easily scratch their lips and tongues, but Xie Shisheng’s pickled prawns do not have this. This is a kind of trouble, the prawns are marinated by the marinade until the shell can be easily peeled off, so you can easily eat the sweet and thick prawn meat under the shell.
The rest of the pickles also have their own flavors. The presence of the heavy sauce will not overwhelm the guests, but the appropriate thickness, which better stimulates the fresh and sweet taste of these seafood. It is skillfully seasoned with the ocean fresh meat Next, layers of fresh, tender and smooth taste burst out.
The rising autumn moon slowly walks through the clouds, and there are more than three people facing each other under the moon.They are all well-informed and interesting celebrities, even if it was the first time they met Xie Shi, they would not be cold-hearted when they spoke. They didn't talk about state affairs at the beginning, but only talked about interesting things and strange things they encountered when they traveled around the world. With delicious food and wine, Xie Shi listened with gusto, and drank too much if he didn't pay attention.
At first no one noticed, because Xie Shi didn't make a fuss when he was drunk, but he was unusually quiet and well-behaved, and he would answer whatever people asked him.I don't know if this wine is good or not, but Xie Shi got drunk once at a graduate student party, and after being told of his drunkenness, he has been careful not to drink too much outside since then.
But the plum wine that Han Ji brought today really suits his taste, plus three or five famous people, the chats are all humorous, most of the people here are friends, it is rare to be happy when thanking him, and he is unprepared. Drunk off guard.Han Ji was the first person to find out that Xie Shi was drunk, because Xie Shi kept looking at him and didn't speak when he was drunk.Han Ji looked back and saw that he didn't blink, didn't focus, and his eyes were foggy, so he knew that this person was drunk.
Han Ji didn't make a sound, but waved his hand to signal the servant who was waiting beside him to come over, and told him to go to the back kitchen to bring a glass of honey water.The servant retreated in response, and quickly brought honey water.Han Ji took a look and found that the water was warm, so he replaced Xie Shi's plum wine with honey water, and the others looked at him in silence.
Xie Shi didn't realize that his wine had been changed, but suddenly looked at Han Ji, and asked blankly, "Why don't you talk?"
Han Ji signaled to the others not to be stunned, and to continue the topic just now, and the interrupted party regained its voice.At the beginning, Xie Shi listened quietly, but all was well. The bad thing was that Qi Qi was a career madman. Seeing that Xie Shi was drunk, he brought up the military chaos in Yingzhou without any scruples. What is inhumane, just a few words of indignation, the leader of the rebellious army in Yingzhou lied about the ninth grandson of the former emperor, he was really angry.
Although Xie Shi was drunk, he didn't completely lose his ability to think. On the contrary, his thinking was extremely active and his imagination was unconstrained. In other words, he dared to think and say anything.
As soon as Qi Teng's voice fell, Xie Shi suddenly continued: "There is nothing to be angry about. They are engaging in feudal superstition and making a gimmick of the previous dynasty's blood, but they do not have a vision that meets their ambitions. These people are destined to be suppressed by the imperial court. It's not time to end yet, the uprising is too hasty, too hasty, hiccup..." Xie Shi finished with a light belch.
Everyone was startled by Xie Shi's sudden words. Is this... drunk or awake?
If you are drunk, look at what you said, the thinking logic is there, and it is quite reasonable, but you see, it is still belching, it does not look like being sober...
Han Ji looked at his strange drunken state, and a smile flashed in his eyes. Cen Yu, who was beside him, rarely saw Xie Shi so naive, and teased him with bad intentions, "Then according to the opinion of our military advisor Xie, if there is trouble, we should How? What is the right time?"
As I said earlier, when Xie Shi was drunk, he would answer whatever others asked him. He would be a stickler at the moment. When he heard Cen Yu ask, he ran along the train of thought of the question, and said, "I'll take it." Thinking about it, first of all, although the current imperial court has been completely corrupt from the inside, it is still a centipede, and it will never fail!
"Whoever stands out at this time is stupid. You are not a few people, and the whole world knows that you are going to rebel. You know, if you shoot a bird in the head, if someone sees it, you will just jump around and not hit you. Who to fight, that's why I said the timing is wrong now."
Han Ji glanced at Qi Teng lightly, "Look, even Ah Shi thinks more thoroughly than you." So far, Xie Shi's words are not taboo, and they all hit what Han Ji decided to keep secret before. Biggest reason.
But then Xie Shi said, "Therefore, if you want to start a riot, it is best to follow Zhu Chongba's example and develop the material economy in a low-key manner in the early stage. First, 'build high walls, accumulate food widely, and become king slowly' yes, yes, definitely It is necessary to slowly become the king, accumulate strength, and keep troops out; at the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the talent reserve and take the opportunity to gather the Han elite. These are important and powerful allies, and they can also prepare for the establishment of a new dynasty in the future... and What's going on, let me think about it..."
At this time, Han Ji and the others did not dare to interrupt him anymore. Everyone looked serious and looked at the drunk and cute Xie Shi carefully, as if they were watching Yi Yin appear and Kong Ming was reborn!Although they don't know who Zhu Chongba is, what is the meaning of low-key development and talent reserve, but it doesn't prevent them from understanding Xie Shi's meaning thoroughly.
However, the more they understood, the more frightened they became. They couldn't help deducing these strategies one by one in their hearts, deducing their feasibility, deducing their variables, and deducing their results. The more they deduced, the more they seemed to be able to predict the final successful future. .
Seeing Xie Shi, Han Ji pursed his upper and lower lips twice. Obviously his mouth was dry from drinking, so he moved the cup of honey water to his hand. His action interrupted Xie Shi's state of thinking, and attracted Xie Shi to concentrate on waiting for him The glaring looks of everyone who spoke, but when they saw that it was their master who did it——
Everyone: It's the Lord, it's all right.
Xie Shi took a sip of honey water, felt a little more comfortable, and then continued to blow water: "The early stage is a wretched development, and the middle stage, that is, when all the heroes from all walks of life revolt, at this time, you can't hide, and you have to pull out your big ones." Banner, finally find an excuse to stand on the side of righteousness, so as to occupy the moral high ground! Then you can widely absorb peasants and people to develop base areas, oh, yes, there is also a strategy of plowing and fighting, which can not only stabilize the rear, It can also expand the territory, killing two birds with one stone!"
After Xie Shi finished speaking, he took another two sips of honey water. Seeing that he stopped talking, Qi Tan became anxious, "Then, with so many heroes, how can we stand out in the end and dominate the country?"
Han Ji glanced at him indifferently, Qi Teng, who had received the warning from the master, had no choice but to calm down, but smiled when he thanked him: "If the first two steps are taken well, do you still worry about your opponent? How many rioting teams even took the first step?" If you don’t understand it, you will be treated as cannon fodder. After growing stronger, you will gradually annex other forces, unify the south, and wait!”
Hearing the critical moment, even Qiu Zhi, the oldest and most stable among them, couldn't help asking: "What are you waiting for?"
Following Xie Shi's train of thought, Han Ji thought for a while, "Wait for the Mongols themselves to break out of civil strife, and then take the opportunity to make a Northern Expedition to subdue the northern mountains and rivers?"
Xie Shi nodded with a big movement, smiled softly, and boasted: "Han Ji, how do you know, you are so smart, much smarter than them."
Cen Yu and the others: ... Oh, forget it, Mr. Xie is drunk.
Han Ji raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise. This was the first time Xie Shi called him by his name directly. He didn't find it offensive, but it was rather novel.
When he arrived here, Xie Shi yawned delicately, his head seemed to be glued, and he was already a little sleepy from drunk, Han Ji directly helped him to the couch in the inner room, as soon as Xie Shi touched the bed, he immediately spontaneously I consciously kicked off my shoes and socks, rolled up a quilt to cover my body, and then fell asleep in a second.
Standing in front of the bed, Han Ji smiled and touched his forehead after appreciating the whole set of movements he did unconsciously.After a while, he lifted the quilt to cover Xie Shi's belly, and stepped out of the room lightly.Outside the door, under the moonlight, several subordinates were waiting respectfully, waiting for his instructions.
Han Ji glanced at them, "Don't spread a word of what he said tonight, but if someone leaks the news, he will even sit down with the Nine Clans." It is self-evident who he is referring to.And the dangerous meaning contained in the last four words of "Lian Zuo Jiu Clan" just made the other people present have a cold sweat on their backs.
Several subordinates all looked solemn and knelt on one knee to show their absolute allegiance, "No, Your Highness."
----------
After being drunk, he became a military adviser for a while, uttered wild words, and Xie Shi, who pointed out the mountains and rivers, woke up, but he had no memory of being drunk last night. He even thought about sighing that the plum wine from Han Ji’s family was really good. After waking up, he even had a hangover headache Not at all, this is really a blessing among misfortunes, because it avoided the tragedy of Xie Shi's direct death.
Even when meeting Cen Gu'an in the cafeteria, Xie Shi could still greet him calmly, "Gu'an, I was drunk yesterday, what's so ugly about it?"
Compared with Xie Shi, who had a good sleep without dreams, today he is full of energy and has a rosy complexion, while Cen Gu'an looks haggard today, with dark circles under his eyes as if he was beaten.When he looked at Xie, he couldn't say a word, thinking where did the ugliness come from, it was directly staged a scene of shocking the heavens and beings, possessed by the gods.
Xie Shi was frightened by his silence, did he do something embarrassing last night, other things are fine, he won't reveal the biggest secret of his time travel, right?
Xie Shi cautiously asked: "Did I go crazy with alcohol last night? If I said anything, it would be nonsense and should not be taken seriously. Listen to my father. I used to be drunk and said that I was a god in my previous life. You Look how outrageous these words are, how can you believe them?"
Cen Yu was shocked, could it be that Xie Tanwei was really a god who came down to earth to experience calamity?
Xie Shi didn't know yet, it's okay if he didn't say anything, the more he talked, the more Cen Yu made up his mind, fortunately, Han Ji ordered last night, if Xie Shi didn't remember, then don't take the initiative to bring up what happened last night, after all last night What Xie Shi said was overheard by someone with a heart, and it was a crime of beheading.
At this time, Cen Yu flickered him tiredly: "After you were drunk last night, you sat there quietly without saying a word. Later, when you started to feel drowsy, the head of the mountain helped you into the house and fell asleep. We asked the servants to clean up the leftovers and left."
After Xie Shi listened, he felt relieved, as long as he didn't reveal himself.Next time you have to learn from experience, no matter how good the plum wine is, you should not be greedy in the future, Xie Shi decided to put the remaining two bottles of wine sent by Han Ji in his bedroom, and have a glass every day before going to bed, so as to avoid losing his composure in front of others embarrassment.
When Cen Yu came to look for Xie Shi, although it was mainly to confirm whether Xie Shi remembered what happened last night, it was not without other things. I was spoiled by your craftsmanship, so I asked you to ask if you can make some food that can be brought into the Qiuwei examination room."
Qiu Wei, that is, the rural examination in the ordinary population, is named Qiu Wei because it usually takes place in autumn.Qiu Wei is divided into three sessions, each for three days, entering the site one day in advance and leaving the site one day after the test, so that there are three consecutive tests, that is, in addition to leaving the test after the test, candidates have to stay in the small numbered room. During the nine days, eating, drinking and drinking were all in the small room.
In previous years, the two most worrying things for candidates for exams were, apart from worrying about being assigned to a stinking number near the hut, there was also the problem of eating in the exam room.Fire is not allowed in the examination room, so you can only bring some durable pastries in, and fresh food can only be eaten on the same day. As a result, poor eating and sleeping are often the biggest reasons for students to fail the exam.
Cen Yu didn't want to be this interrogator at first, a group of little brats said they couldn't go back to the old days before they ate the food Xie Shi made for a few months, but they didn't know how to negotiate, and took turns Come to his hall to block him.He was so annoyed that he had to stop by to ask.
Now Cen Yu regards Xie Shi as the reincarnation of Yi Yin, who needs a well-supported and tightly hugged thigh, so he quickly added: "If it's troublesome, Tanwei doesn't have to bother, they are used to it."
However, for Xie Shi, this is actually not a difficult task. It can even be said to be very simple. Make a self-heating bag, put processed ingredients or fried pasta on the top compartment, and pour water into it when it is time to eat , when the quicklime in the self-heating bag meets water, a chemical reaction will occur, releasing a lot of heat, and the food on the upper layer can be cooked in less than 10 minutes.
Xie Shi has always had a good impression of this group of students in Dongcang Academy. After all, these children have always been very fond of his culinary skills. Now Qiu Wei is a critical moment in their lives, no less than the high school entrance examination and college entrance examination in previous lives. He didn't hesitate to help, so he nodded in response.
Looking at the supper that is definitely more than one person in front of him, Xie Shi rested his chin on his hands and thought about it. It is better to have fun alone than to have fun with others. How can we not share the delicious food with the "neighbors" next door?According to his observation, the "neighbor" next door is a big eater who is easy to feed.
Xie Shi wrote an invitation post casually, and asked Wang Jia to send it to Mei Lin Zhai, inviting people to have dinner.Just after dusk, before the moon climbed over the treetops, Wang Jia went to deliver the letter by familiar ways.
When Xie Shi was preparing to welcome the guests, when he looked up at the sky, a line of poetry suddenly flashed in his mind——

Xie Shi thought it was funny, and whispered at him, "Brother Han is very powerful."
Han Ji was a little confused as to why he was talking about him like that, but Xie Shi didn't intend to explain his weird jokes to him. Instead, he changed the subject and asked everyone: "Today I'm entertaining you all with a feast of raw pickles, but some people can't Eating raw food? If there is, I will ask someone to prepare some other food, and keep the hospitality thoughtful."

Han Ji didn't make a sound, but waved his hand to signal the servant who was waiting beside him to come over, and told him to go to the back kitchen to bring a glass of honey water.The servant retreated in response, and quickly brought honey water.Han Ji took a look and found that the water was warm, so he replaced Xie Shi's plum wine with honey water, and the others looked at him in silence.
Xie Shi didn't realize that his wine had been changed, but suddenly looked at Han Ji, and asked blankly, "Why don't you talk?"
Han Ji signaled to the others not to be stunned, and to continue the topic just now, and the interrupted party regained its voice.At the beginning, Xie Shi listened quietly, but all was well. The bad thing was that Qi Qi was a career madman. Seeing that Xie Shi was drunk, he brought up the military chaos in Yingzhou without any scruples. What is inhumane, just a few words of indignation, the leader of the rebellious army in Yingzhou lied about the ninth grandson of the former emperor, he was really angry.
Although Xie Shi was drunk, he didn't completely lose his ability to think. On the contrary, his thinking was extremely active and his imagination was unconstrained. In other words, he dared to think and say anything.
As soon as Qi Teng's voice fell, Xie Shi suddenly continued: "There is nothing to be angry about. They are engaging in feudal superstition and making a gimmick of the previous dynasty's blood, but they do not have a vision that meets their ambitions. These people are destined to be suppressed by the imperial court. It's not time to end yet, the uprising is too hasty, too hasty, hiccup..." Xie Shi finished with a light belch.
Everyone was startled by Xie Shi's sudden words. Is this... drunk or awake?
If you are drunk, look at what you said, the thinking logic is there, and it is quite reasonable, but you see, it is still belching, it does not look like being sober...
Han Ji looked at his strange drunken state, and a smile flashed in his eyes. Cen Yu, who was beside him, rarely saw Xie Shi so naive, and teased him with bad intentions, "Then according to the opinion of our military advisor Xie, if there is trouble, we should How? What is the right time?"
As I said earlier, when Xie Shi was drunk, he would answer whatever others asked him. He would be a stickler at the moment. When he heard Cen Yu ask, he ran along the train of thought of the question, and said, "I'll take it." Thinking about it, first of all, although the current imperial court has been completely corrupt from the inside, it is still a centipede, and it will never fail!
"Whoever stands out at this time is stupid. You are not a few people, and the whole world knows that you are going to rebel. You know, if you shoot a bird in the head, if someone sees it, you will just jump around and not hit you. Who to fight, that's why I said the timing is wrong now."
Han Ji glanced at Qi Teng lightly, "Look, even Ah Shi thinks more thoroughly than you." So far, Xie Shi's words are not taboo, and they all hit what Han Ji decided to keep secret before. Biggest reason.
But then Xie Shi said, "Therefore, if you want to start a riot, it is best to follow Zhu Chongba's example and develop the material economy in a low-key manner in the early stage. First, 'build high walls, accumulate food widely, and become king slowly' yes, yes, definitely It is necessary to slowly become the king, accumulate strength, and keep troops out; at the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the talent reserve and take the opportunity to gather the Han elite. These are important and powerful allies, and they can also prepare for the establishment of a new dynasty in the future... and What's going on, let me think about it..."
At this time, Han Ji and the others did not dare to interrupt him anymore. Everyone looked serious and looked at the drunk and cute Xie Shi carefully, as if they were watching Yi Yin appear and Kong Ming was reborn!Although they don't know who Zhu Chongba is, what is the meaning of low-key development and talent reserve, but it doesn't prevent them from understanding Xie Shi's meaning thoroughly.
However, the more they understood, the more frightened they became. They couldn't help deducing these strategies one by one in their hearts, deducing their feasibility, deducing their variables, and deducing their results. The more they deduced, the more they seemed to be able to predict the final successful future. .
Seeing Xie Shi, Han Ji pursed his upper and lower lips twice. Obviously his mouth was dry from drinking, so he moved the cup of honey water to his hand. His action interrupted Xie Shi's state of thinking, and attracted Xie Shi to concentrate on waiting for him The glaring looks of everyone who spoke, but when they saw that it was their master who did it——
Everyone: It's the Lord, it's all right.
Xie Shi took a sip of honey water, felt a little more comfortable, and then continued to blow water: "The early stage is a wretched development, and the middle stage, that is, when all the heroes from all walks of life revolt, at this time, you can't hide, and you have to pull out your big ones." Banner, finally find an excuse to stand on the side of righteousness, so as to occupy the moral high ground! Then you can widely absorb peasants and people to develop base areas, oh, yes, there is also a strategy of plowing and fighting, which can not only stabilize the rear, It can also expand the territory, killing two birds with one stone!"
After Xie Shi finished speaking, he took another two sips of honey water. Seeing that he stopped talking, Qi Tan became anxious, "Then, with so many heroes, how can we stand out in the end and dominate the country?"
Han Ji glanced at him indifferently, Qi Teng, who had received the warning from the master, had no choice but to calm down, but smiled when he thanked him: "If the first two steps are taken well, do you still worry about your opponent? How many rioting teams even took the first step?" If you don’t understand it, you will be treated as cannon fodder. After growing stronger, you will gradually annex other forces, unify the south, and wait!”
Hearing the critical moment, even Qiu Zhi, the oldest and most stable among them, couldn't help asking: "What are you waiting for?"
Following Xie Shi's train of thought, Han Ji thought for a while, "Wait for the Mongols themselves to break out of civil strife, and then take the opportunity to make a Northern Expedition to subdue the northern mountains and rivers?"
Xie Shi nodded with a big movement, smiled softly, and boasted: "Han Ji, how do you know, you are so smart, much smarter than them."
Cen Yu and the others: ... Oh, forget it, Mr. Xie is drunk.
Han Ji raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise. This was the first time Xie Shi called him by his name directly. He didn't find it offensive, but it was rather novel.
When he arrived here, Xie Shi yawned delicately, his head seemed to be glued, and he was already a little sleepy from drunk, Han Ji directly helped him to the couch in the inner room, as soon as Xie Shi touched the bed, he immediately spontaneously I consciously kicked off my shoes and socks, rolled up a quilt to cover my body, and then fell asleep in a second.
Standing in front of the bed, Han Ji smiled and touched his forehead after appreciating the whole set of movements he did unconsciously.After a while, he lifted the quilt to cover Xie Shi's belly, and stepped out of the room lightly.Outside the door, under the moonlight, several subordinates were waiting respectfully, waiting for his instructions.
Han Ji glanced at them, "Don't spread a word of what he said tonight, but if someone leaks the news, he will even sit down with the Nine Clans." It is self-evident who he is referring to.And the dangerous meaning contained in the last four words of "Lian Zuo Jiu Clan" just made the other people present have a cold sweat on their backs.
Several subordinates all looked solemn and knelt on one knee to show their absolute allegiance, "No, Your Highness."
----------
After being drunk, he became a military adviser for a while, uttered wild words, and Xie Shi, who pointed out the mountains and rivers, woke up, but he had no memory of being drunk last night. He even thought about sighing that the plum wine from Han Ji’s family was really good. After waking up, he even had a hangover headache Not at all, this is really a blessing among misfortunes, because it avoided the tragedy of Xie Shi's direct death.
Even when meeting Cen Gu'an in the cafeteria, Xie Shi could still greet him calmly, "Gu'an, I was drunk yesterday, what's so ugly about it?"
Compared with Xie Shi, who had a good sleep without dreams, today he is full of energy and has a rosy complexion, while Cen Gu'an looks haggard today, with dark circles under his eyes as if he was beaten.When he looked at Xie, he couldn't say a word, thinking where did the ugliness come from, it was directly staged a scene of shocking the heavens and beings, possessed by the gods.
Xie Shi was frightened by his silence, did he do something embarrassing last night, other things are fine, he won't reveal the biggest secret of his time travel, right?
Xie Shi cautiously asked: "Did I go crazy with alcohol last night? If I said anything, it would be nonsense and should not be taken seriously. Listen to my father. I used to be drunk and said that I was a god in my previous life. You Look how outrageous these words are, how can you believe them?"
Cen Yu was shocked, could it be that Xie Tanwei was really a god who came down to earth to experience calamity?
Xie Shi didn't know yet, it's okay if he didn't say anything, the more he talked, the more Cen Yu made up his mind, fortunately, Han Ji ordered last night, if Xie Shi didn't remember, then don't take the initiative to bring up what happened last night, after all last night What Xie Shi said was overheard by someone with a heart, and it was a crime of beheading.
At this time, Cen Yu flickered him tiredly: "After you were drunk last night, you sat there quietly without saying a word. Later, when you started to feel drowsy, the head of the mountain helped you into the house and fell asleep. We asked the servants to clean up the leftovers and left."
After Xie Shi listened, he felt relieved, as long as he didn't reveal himself.Next time you have to learn from experience, no matter how good the plum wine is, you should not be greedy in the future, Xie Shi decided to put the remaining two bottles of wine sent by Han Ji in his bedroom, and have a glass every day before going to bed, so as to avoid losing his composure in front of others embarrassment.
When Cen Yu came to look for Xie Shi, although it was mainly to confirm whether Xie Shi remembered what happened last night, it was not without other things. I was spoiled by your craftsmanship, so I asked you to ask if you can make some food that can be brought into the Qiuwei examination room."
Qiu Wei, that is, the rural examination in the ordinary population, is named Qiu Wei because it usually takes place in autumn.Qiu Wei is divided into three sessions, each for three days, entering the site one day in advance and leaving the site one day after the test, so that there are three consecutive tests, that is, in addition to leaving the test after the test, candidates have to stay in the small numbered room. During the nine days, eating, drinking and drinking were all in the small room.
In previous years, the two most worrying things for candidates for exams were, apart from worrying about being assigned to a stinking number near the hut, there was also the problem of eating in the exam room.Fire is not allowed in the examination room, so you can only bring some durable pastries in, and fresh food can only be eaten on the same day. As a result, poor eating and sleeping are often the biggest reasons for students to fail the exam.
Cen Yu didn't want to be this interrogator at first, a group of little brats said they couldn't go back to the old days before they ate the food Xie Shi made for a few months, but they didn't know how to negotiate, and took turns Come to his hall to block him.He was so annoyed that he had to stop by to ask.
Now Cen Yu regards Xie Shi as the reincarnation of Yi Yin, who needs a well-supported and tightly hugged thigh, so he quickly added: "If it's troublesome, Tanwei doesn't have to bother, they are used to it."
However, for Xie Shi, this is actually not a difficult task. It can even be said to be very simple. Make a self-heating bag, put processed ingredients or fried pasta on the top compartment, and pour water into it when it is time to eat , when the quicklime in the self-heating bag meets water, a chemical reaction will occur, releasing a lot of heat, and the food on the upper layer can be cooked in less than 10 minutes.
Xie Shi has always had a good impression of this group of students in Dongcang Academy. After all, these children have always been very fond of his culinary skills. Now Qiu Wei is a critical moment in their lives, no less than the high school entrance examination and college entrance examination in previous lives. He didn't hesitate to help, so he nodded in response.
