Tang's dining table

It's really refreshing to live in seclusion in the countryside, especially when you hide in Qiyun Temple, a compound that the imperial power will not easily touch. Yun Chu can truly live the kind of life in Tao Yuanming's "Returning to the Return".

When the country is not in danger, capable people should not perform too well, let alone show a brave and enterprising appearance, which will bore the emperor and those big bosses who have long occupied high positions.

People like Li Yifu can already transmit semen through the air to make their concubine pregnant and give birth to a monster with a long tail.

People like Yunchu who are under the emperor's nose should not act too outstandingly. In an era when the emperor has no desires and desires, dawdling is actually the normal operation of officials.

The people of Li Yifu may not be in Chang'an, but there must be legends about him in Chang'an. Whether the legends are good or bad, it is a good thing for him who is far away from the center of power.

The life that Yun Chu lives now is the life that real officials in the Tang Dynasty lived.

In the early morning, I get up when I hear the chirping of birds, bring a fishing net and a fish basket, lead my wife, sister, and children to stop the fishing net on the creek, and then we can move around freely.

The pregnant wife sat on a large mat and chatted with the servants, while watching them prepare the ingredients.

The girls and children let them run around and scream by the shallow stream.

Yunchu soaked the jug filled with rice wine into the cold stream, then held a book and read some idle books while waiting for the fish to fall into the net.

Generally speaking, the fish in the creek are not too big, and the idle books in my hand are not as good-looking as those in the previous world.

In addition, since my wife and children are here, I can’t read the best-selling books that Copperplate strongly recommends.

Therefore, what Yun Chu looked at was the chess records.

Today in the Tang Dynasty, the most powerful Go player is Emperor Li Zhi.

He is the only one who has never lost in the chess world for more than ten years. Even when playing against Go masters such as Li Ji and Changsun Wuji, Li Zhi has never failed, and the most he can draw is a draw.

Yun Chu was actually pretty good at Go, but when he played against Li Ji, he never won. He was abused by Li Ji every time.

I heard from Prince Li Hong that among women in Go, his mother is the best, even though his mother does not know how to play chess at all.

Li Hong believed that when he truly controlled the East Palace, he would be the third-ranked Go master in the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, it is meaningless to fight for something in Datang. No matter how you fight for it, after reaching a certain level, it has nothing to do with your ability.

Everyone under the imperial power is an ant!

In other words, the royal family and the common people are basically people from two different worlds.

Since Yunchu became the Marquis of Lantian, without special opportunities, he has basically reached the limit of his abilities.

In the future, if there is no special meritorious service such as saving the country and destroying the country, it will be more difficult to take a step forward in the title of nobility than to reach the sky.

Therefore, Yun Chu had a lot of time to take his family out for outings and picnics.

When Naha picked up the fishing net, she found that there were only five or six finger-long small miscellaneous fish at the bottom of the net. These fish did not grow big at all. They complemented the clear stream. They were also small and delicate.

However, it is very interesting to see these almost transparent fish swimming back and forth in a bowl filled with water.

The burly Fat San stood majestically next to the grill grilling the steak. The fat of the yak meat turned slightly yellow. After being smeared with butter, the natural meaty aroma of the steak was forced out by the charcoal fire.

Yunchu originally thought that butter did not exist in the diet of the Tang people, but it was only after he came to Chang'an that he learned that the dairy products of the Tang Dynasty were the best in the world.

Butter, an oil extracted from milk, was very common in Chang'an. It had been in the Han people's diet as early as when the Huns were killed by the Han army.

A good steak only needs some salt to taste delicious. As for things like black pepper, Yunchu hasn't found it yet.

It is Yun's tradition to eat steak with chopsticks, which can be traced back to when Yun Chu traveled to Europe.

The person who can eat the best steak in the Yun family is not Yun Chu, nor Naha, nor the children, but Yu Xiurong.

She can eat three steaks that are as big as her palm and as thick as her palm.

It’s those good steaks with alternate fat and red meat. Yu Xiurong doesn’t get bored eating them three times a day.

Seeing the whole family eating steak diligently with one plate in hand, Yunchu felt happy.

Steak is the first course of today's picnic, followed by roasted beef cubes, and ends with a pot of braised beef brisket.

As for vegetables, the Yun family doesn’t like eating them very much.

Just when Yunchu chopped up the steak with a knife and put it into the mouths of his two children, whose mouths were open like little birds waiting to be fed, Fei Jiu ran over from Qiyun Temple.

After whispering a few words into Yun Chu's ear, Yun Chu was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face.

Yu Xiurong, who was taking a big bite of steak, let go of his teeth, looked at Yun Chu and said, "What's the good news?"

Yun Chu put another piece of beef into Yun Jin's little mouth and said, "Old General Qibi Heli is back."

Yu Xiurong asked quickly: "Didn't you say you died in the battle?"

Yun Chu wiped his daughter's oily mouth and said, "He was found in Luoyang. He passed out at the time. Now, he is very weak."

Yu Xiurong leaned closer to Yun Chu with some fear, and whispered: "Do you want to take a look, husband?"

Yun Chu nodded and said: "His Majesty has issued a decree, asking the Imperial Medical Office to save Qibi Heli at all costs."

"That means that Old General Qibi Heli can't be said to be alive yet, right?"

Yun Chu stood up and sighed: "It goes without saying that Qibi Heli will definitely not surrender. After being imprisoned and tortured for a year, his health must be very bad.

I'll go take a look and do my part if I can. "

Yu Xiurong said: "During the Chinese New Year, I visited the old lady. The old lady did not allow her family to say that General Qibi Heli was dead. She only said that she was not dead and her son would definitely not die.

My husband should think of more ways to prevent him from dying. I feel that if the old general Qibi Heli dies, the old lady will not be able to support him. "

Yun Chu nodded, told Naha to keep an eye on his nieces and nephews, and went straight to Qiyun Temple.

Since this entanglement ended with the emperor's victory, Yun Chu felt that it was necessary for him to go and see the scene.

After quickly arriving at the Imperial City, Yun Chu hurriedly arrived at the Imperial Hospital.

At this time, the Imperial Hospital was already bustling with people.

Countless generals in armor were guarding the courtyard. They were just waiting for General Qibi Heli to wake up and ask who the enemy was before they were ready to launch an attack immediately.

After Yun Chu, who was dressed in casual clothes, hurried in, the generals stared at Yun Chu for a while before making way for him to enter the ward in the inner courtyard.

Yunchu knew that these people were now beginning to suspect anyone, and anyone who was not in their military commander system was basically within the scope of their suspicion.

When Yunchu entered the ward, Old Fu and Old He were both there, but Qibi Heli, lying on the snow-white hospital bed, looked like a skeleton. There were countless wounds all over his body on his slender body.

Yun Chu took a quick look and found that these wounds included wounds from swords, bows and arrows, crossbows, and wounds caused by blunt objects. However, most of them were whip wounds, wounds left after being ironed with a soldering iron. Suffer.

After seeing the trauma, Yun Chu asked Lao He, since he was discovered in Luoyang, why did he have to be sent to Chang'an for treatment? "

Lao He said: "It was requested by Qibi Heli's mother. The old lady said that even if Qibi Heli dies, he must die in front of His Majesty. He must personally tell Your Majesty that he did not betray the Tang Dynasty or betray the Tang Dynasty. The enemy surrenders."

Yun Chu asked Lao Fu again: "Why is he unconscious?"

The old man sighed and said: "Due to weakness, the tonic decoction cannot be poured in."

Yun Chu looked at Qibi Heli's skinny body and said, "Let's give him some salt and sugar water first. You can see that he is already showing signs of dehydration."

The old man shook his head and said, "I can't drink it."

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "Put it in hard." As he spoke, he opened Qibi Heli's mouth. The old man used a needle all the way down Qibi Heli's throat, and he took out a piece of sheep intestine. The assembled hose was slowly inserted into Qi Bi Heli's esophagus.

In full view of everyone, the rough hose was stuffed for more than a foot in length. After it reached the stomach, Yunchu poured warm salt-sugar water from the funnel at the other end of the tube into Qi Bi Heli's stomach. In the stomach.

Anyway, it was a dead horse being treated as a living horse doctor, so Yun Chu poured a full bowl of salt and sugar water into Qi Bi Heli's stomach.

Before Lao He could pull out the hose, Yun Chu and Lao Fu lifted up Qi Bi Heli's upper body to prevent him from being choked to death by the salt and sugar water flowing back from his stomach into his trachea.

The result was very good. The salty sugar water in Qibi Heli's stomach did not come out. After checking the pulse, the old man found that there was no change in the pulse condition. This showed that Yun Chu's rough method of rescuing people did not have a bad effect.

Lao Fu and Lao He are both famous doctors. The only bad thing is that they are timid. It's not like they don't know what Yun Chu did.

But they didn't dare. They would rather use the most traditional and stable method to treat Qibi Heli's illness, rather than take risks and end up risking themselves.

There has been a skinny old woman sitting beside the bed. This old woman is very old, almost as old as an old monkey.

When Yunchu came in and started treating Qibi Heli, the old woman remained silent and stopped those Qi family members who wanted to scold Yunchu for being rude and rude.

The old woman calmly said to Yun Chu: "Marquis Yun, if you have any other methods, just use it on my son. It doesn't matter whether he can live or not. I just want him to tell the old woman personally that he did not betray the Tang Dynasty."

Yunchu said with a smile: "Old lady, you are too worried. Although the injuries on the father-in-law's body look terrible, in fact, most of them are external injuries. When I came, I had already sent people to Zhongnan Mountain. It won't take long. The gods will come.

At that time, it will be difficult for the father-in-law to die even if he wants to. "

Yun Chu's words were brisk and playful. He shouldn't have said it like this, and he couldn't say it like this. But after his witty words included the word "old god", everyone thought that what Yun Chu said made sense.
