Chapter one hundred and ninety third heart to heart
In the evening, Li Li and his children gathered together to prepare for a meal.
Today is "event day", and the princess and princesses can "order food freely", so they all look forward to it, waiting for the "big meal" they ordered.
After a while, the palace maids and eunuchs came in one after another, giving the long-awaited "feast" to this family.
Because it is a separate meal system, everyone has a meal plan, so the food placed in front of everyone is different. Various fragrances are mixed, and the appetites of all sizes are aroused.
Li Li looked at the Buddha jumping over the wall in front of him, and then the plates of red "spicy strips" in front of his sons, and felt extremely helpless.
No matter what dish you order, spicy strips are indispensable?
Sure enough, do children like spicy strips the most?
In this era, there were no chili peppers, but there were spicy crops, and the most commonly used spicy crop was dogwood.
During the Double Ninth Festival, the "dogwood sac" worn by men, women, young and old is placed in it.
The spicy strips are also very simple to make. First make dried tofu strips and then cook them with concentrated cornus juice. The spicy strips made are not only chewy, but also very spicy.
The straightforward taste and taste are irresistible to children. Similar foods include "spicy pot crumbs".
The crust is crispy, fragrant and spicy, and is one of the best delicacies in the eyes of children.
As for those delicacies, they are not good at tasting them, so the attraction will naturally be smaller.
Li Li watched his children put the main course and didn't eat it. He first ate spicy strips and crust. He ate it with relish and wanted to say something, but he still didn't say anything.
Today is "event day". Children eat whatever they want. If parents refuse to do so, they don't give it, and it will be boring.
After a while, the finale came: the roasted whole lamb was fragrant and golden.
The eunuch placed the roasted whole lamb in front of Li Li. Li Li took out a knife and began to share the meat for his children. However, before using the knife, he specifically stated: "This is not an ordinary roasted whole lamb, you should pay attention."
The prince and princesses who were holding the plates were watching carefully as their father cut the sheep with a knife, but they saw that after the sheep's belly was cut open, there were several fish and a duck hidden inside.
A duck that emits heat and is golden in color.
"Look at it, there are surprises!" After Li Li said that, he cut open the duck's belly and saw a chicken inside.
The children exclaimed, amazed at the food that "there are fish and ducks in the sheep and chickens in the ducks."
But before it was over, Li Li cut open the chicken's belly and there was a pigeon inside.
Cut the pigeon open, and there are a few quail eggs inside.
The surprises over and over again greatly increase the appetite of children. Some want to eat quail eggs and some want to eat pigeons.
Or fish, chicken, duck, and mutton.
Because it was interesting and the taste was really good, the prince and the princess ate it with relish. Li Li was very satisfied to see that this dish was so popular.
Children's thinking is different from adults. Their understanding of "delicious dishes" is straightforward "scented and good taste", and it is also interesting.
There are ducks (fish) in the sheep, chickens in the ducks, pigeons in the chickens, and eggs in the pigeons. This dish like a nesting doll can attract children's interest from the beginning and naturally have the desire to eat.
After Li Li finished eating, he started to bet with prizes: "This dish can be described in idioms. Can you say what idiom it is? It's enough to get the meaning."
Seeing the children looking at him blankly, Li Li added: "The idioms include sheep, duck, chicken, fish, pigeon, and eggs (eggs)."
"If you include one of these words in the idiom, you will be rewarded with a catering redemption coupon."
"Those with two words, excellent grades, and two reward catering redemption coupons."
After saying this, the children came to their senses and were overjoyed because the prizes were very attractive:
A redemption voucher allows the holder to be eligible for free ordering on inactive days.
They quickly read the idioms they had learned in their minds and chose idioms related to "sheep, duck, chicken, fish, pigeon, egg (egg)".
This is not difficult, and soon, people answered one after another: The sheep lost the way, and the sheep lost the sheep to make up for the siege;
The chicken and dog ascend to heaven, as dumb as a wooden chicken;
I envy the fish in the abyss, and the fish eyes are mixed with pearls;
If you hit (shot) the stone with an egg, it will be harmful to (such as) the egg being buried;
Older children, after thinking about it, came up with the idiom containing the two words: sheep continues to hang fish, and fight for chickens and loses sheep.
Li Li was very satisfied with the children's performance, so he picked up the pen and kept a record, and prepared to issue redemption coupons.
But he found that his son Li Yun did not answer.
Li Yun was born by Duan Yuying. He was over nine years old and looked like a mother, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes. He liked reading very much on weekdays.
Li Li looked at Li Yun and saw his son thinking, and asked, "What's wrong? Did you think of some idiom?"
"Father, do you also count the idioms that do not include chickens, ducks, sheep, fish, and eggs (eggs)?" Li Yun asked, looking forward to it.
Li Li was stunned when he heard this and realized that his son wanted to "do the questions beyond the scope", so his next answer would have two consequences.
First, saying "counting numbers" means that the rules of the game he set have no authority, so he can change it as soon as he says it.
Second, saying "no counting" is to hit the son's "advanced thinking" and suppress the other party's vitality.
"Rules are rules, they cannot be changed, otherwise they will be unfair to the brothers and sisters who have answered." Li Li replied, and then added:
"However, if the idiom you speak can really describe this dish better, then my father can give you an extra reward."
He knew that his son liked stationery, so he promised that he would choose any stationery on the imperial case.
After hearing this, Li Yun was happy and stood up and replied: "I think the idiom 'to be honest' is very suitable."
Li Li thought about it and thought that this idiom was good, close to the dish "There are ducks in sheep, chickens in ducks, pigeons in chickens, eggs in pigeons."
But some children disagree: "When you have a belly, where does your heart come from? Sheep, duck, chicken, and fish, don't have hearts?"
Li Yun replied: "Then it would be fine if you were honest and honest, it would be the same."
"These are two idioms!" The child shouted, and Li Yun became anxious: "This is the same meaning, the source is the same!"
Li Li quickly spoke: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, speak slowly."
Seeing that many children looked confused, they seemed to not understand the meaning of the idiom or the allusions of the idiom, he asked Li Yun to explain the source and meaning of the idiom.
Li Yun was calm and explained loudly.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the throne and heroes from all over the world rose up to attack him.
Among them is the royal family member Liu Xiu, who later Emperor Guangwu.
Liu Xiu fought in Hebei and made many military achievements, defeating a rebel army with a large number of troops. The other side was desperate. In addition, Liu Xiuxu was treated generously, so he surrendered and surrendered.
However, the surrendered soldiers and generals were uneasy and worried that Liu Xiu would go back on his word, so Liu Xiu entered the camp alone and inspected various departments to show his trust in the team.
Seeing this, the surrendered generals were relieved and said that Liu Xiu did this to "put his heart in his heart" and that he had absolute trust in them and decided to be loyal to Liu Xiu.
This gives the idiom "to be honest" (to be honest)
Put something into your belly, won’t it fit the dish “sheep, duck, chicken, fish and egg” in front of you?
Li Yun explained it, and the brothers and sisters understood it. They had no objection to using this idiom to describe "sheep, duck, chicken, fish and eggs".
Li Li was very happy: "Tomorrow...in a while, you come to Tingtao Pavilion and choose any stationery."
Li Yun was overjoyed. He liked the "red and black Pisces" jade paperweight on his father's desk very much.
The prize-winning bid ended, and the children continued to eat various delicacies, but Li Li was inspired by the idiom "to be heart-warming".
There is no doubt that Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu's practice of entering the camp alone to comfort people's hearts has great benefits but great risks.
If you play with it, you will die by yourself.
Especially in this day, "the world is getting worse", and things that go back on your word and go back on your word are endless. Political and military struggles, it is extremely naive to play "heart-to-heart" things.
Li Li felt that unless he was poor, he would not do this.
So, will Liang Sen?
He put down his chopsticks and began to think.
As the end of the year approaches, it is said that it is time to prepare for a good New Year, but Li Li doesn't want to wait anymore and wants to do "warm-up exercises".
With Liang Sen as the governor of the marching, he led tens of thousands of troops to march westward in Jingzhou, along the Yangtze River, and towards Shu.
A new round of offensive against Zhou State began, which was the prelude, called "Restoration of Shu". After all, Shu was stolen by Zhou State (Western Wei) from the southern court (Liang State).
However, the State of Chu could clearly attack Guanzhong from Hedong and Shanzhou, but why did it "take a long way" to attack Shu?
First of all, there is grain. Henan and Mianbei are still hoarding military rations. Hedong still needs Hebei’s grain transmission support, so the Chu army was unable to launch a large-scale offensive against Guanzhong before the New Year.
However, Jing and Hunan are different, with sufficient food reserves and the army has been preparing for war for many years but has not fought a major war, so morale is high.
In addition, there are a series of military and political considerations.
Calculate the date and the army of the Western Expedition has entered the Three Gorges and approaches Baidi City, the capital of Xinzhou, upstream.
In the afternoon, Fei Ge arrived in Kaifeng by sending a letter. Liang Sen told him in the letter that among the Three Gorges barbarians, many tribes came to join the crowd, led by Qu Shuai, with a large number of people.
Liang Sen believed that if these barbarians could be used, it would be of great help to restore Shu.
But if the other party is surrendering, then...
Li Li thought about it, a little worried.
He asked Liang Sen to take charge of the resumption of Shu, and one of the considerations was to "balance", which was to balance the strength between the old and other factional officials, and also to balance the strength between the old and the old.
But no matter what, there are considerations for Liang Sen.
With this great contribution, Liang Sen's descendants' status in the Chu State's officialdom was guaranteed.
Unfortunately, he was able to receive Liang Sen's Feige letter, but Liang Sen could not receive his Feige letter.
Li Li's worries cannot be passed on to the old friend in time, so now he can only pray in his heart:
The world is united and a good day is coming. Old man, don’t take off your game...
