Han Xiang

Chapter 189 Why not teach him a few tricks?
Lu Su was one of the few in Hefei, he knew that Long Xiang admired Liu Bei, and he would not treat a man with bowls of noodles on his table as an ordinary guest.

Uncle Huang's sworn brother cannot be neglected.

Long Xiang got up to meet Lu Su, and brought him to Zhang Fei and his wife for introduction.

Zhang Fei always liked to be close to scholars, and he heard Liu Bei praise Lu Su many times, so he pulled Xia Houjuan to stand up and return the gift.

Lu Su was more than eight feet tall, similar in height to Zhang Fei and Long Xiang, making Xia Houjuan next to him even smaller.

After greeting each other, Lu Su sat down opposite Zhang Fei.

Long Xiang brought a bowl of noodles himself: "It's just a coincidence that Zijing came, today I just met friends with noodles."

Lu Su noticed that the contents of the bowl were quite different from what he saw last time, so he picked up the chopsticks and picked them up to taste.

The expression on the face is like riding a roller coaster, and there is no lack of praise after the taste.

"This is called noodles, and it's really delicious."

While Zhang Fei was wolfing down, he heard Lu Su's emotion, and he stopped and asked wonderingly, "Isn't this the Hefei way of eating noodles? Why does it look like it's the first time you eat it, sir?"

"How to eat in Hefei? Hehe"

Lu Su glanced at Long Xiang, smiled and didn't continue, but swallowed his face.

Seeing that Lu Su didn't make it clear, the Qiaoyi who was waiting at the side spoke up and explained: "The recipe of this noodle was taught to me by my elder brother today, and it hasn't been spread yet. Mr. Zijing should taste it for the first time."

Seeing Lu Su nodding to Qiao Ni, Zhang Fei smiled and looked at Long Xiang.

"Yun Qi can still think about new foods? Why don't I have a good time in Hefei? It's really amazing."

"It's nothing to think about, and there's nothing to praise about the kitchen." Long Xiang shook his head modestly.

"otherwise."

Lu Su interrupted Long Xiang: "As the saying goes, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh food. Yunqi can find such delicious food after thinking about it blindly. He must be quick-witted and quick-thinking. If you have the ability to cook, you will have the ability to rule the country in chaos."

Long Xiang said in his heart that you should not kill me, so he quickly joked about 'complaining'.

"You are so respectful, you are boasting more than you deserve, Yide, don't listen to his nonsense, I am just an ordinary person"

"Plain and nothing extraordinary?"

Zhang Fei first frowned and said to himself, then waved his hands and joked: "I'm not blind, my elder brother praises me, and Mr. Zijing praises me. If you are mediocre, I'm a poor-faced scholar."

"Haha, white-faced scholar? That's right."

Lu Su was instantly amused, thinking that the black-faced Zhang Fei looked rude and wild, and he didn't expect it to be so funny.

Long Xiang wanted to cry but had no tears, he said in his heart that in front of you, am I nothing special?How can no one believe me when I'm so honest?

Just as he was thinking about how to change the subject, Qiao Ni suddenly stepped forward and resigned.

"Brother, I think these noodles should be enough, so I won't bother you to entertain guests. I have to go back and teach my second sister how to make noodles."

"Second Miss wants to learn how to make noodles?"

Long Xiang was surprised when he heard it, and felt that the second lady still had such interest, so he waved goodbye.

"Master, you have worked hard today, so you go back first. Tomorrow, you will clean up General Zhang and toast him with a few more glasses of wine."

"Okay, General Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, and Mr. Zijing, take your time and take my leave."

Qiao Yi saluted and said goodbye one by one. Zhang Fei looked at his back and sighed: "Young Master Qiao is gentle and elegant, but he is quite different from his father. He is a good young man."

"The noodles we are eating now should be made by the son. He originally wanted to learn martial arts to inherit the ambition of General Qiao, but unfortunately his own situation is not very good, and he has not met a famous teacher to teach him. If Yide thinks this son can be taught, he may as well teach him How many tricks do you have?"

"If he really wants to learn, why not let me teach him a few things?"

Zhang Fei seemed more open-minded than Xu Chu when he taught him the martial arts of bridge players.

The two have different starting points. Xu Chu thinks that killing skills should be taught, while Zhang Fei doesn't think that Qiao Ling will go to the battlefield. It is not a problem to teach some self-defense skills.

Qiao Ni brought ten bowls of noodles, among which Xia Houjuan ate one bowl, Long Xiang and Lu Su each ate two bowls, and the other five bowls were really wiped out by Zhang Fei, who finally patted his stomach with an expression of unsatisfactory expression.

Long Xiang resisted the shock, and asked politely: "Is Yide full? Not enough for me to let the kitchen continue to cook. I have been working hard for the past few months. Today I have a simple meal and no wine. I must make you satisfied."

"Enough, enough"

Zhang Fei hastily stretched out his hand to interrupt, and suddenly sighed sadly: "Your noodles are simple, but the taste is really good. It's a pity that the eldest brother and the second brother are not lucky, and I don't know where they are. Do you have enough to eat?"

"Uh"

Long Xiang interrupted Zhang Fei to reassure him: "Your Majesty recognized Zijing's plan, but in the end he had his own ideas. How can I explain it? I don't quite understand what it means. Why don't you say it in front of Zijing? Let him give it to you." Analysis analysis gets you where you want to go.”

"Oh? Good."

Zhang Fei was overjoyed when he heard the words, so he briefly explained Liu Bei's explanation of virtue, and imitated Liu Bei's example, dipping his fingers in water and writing down the virtues and gains on the table.

Previously, Zhang Fei thought of a sentence to describe, and the logic was a bit confused, so he went around and stunned Long Xiang. Now when he saw the two words on the table, he immediately understood what they meant.

Lu Su had long heard that Liu Bei was a benevolent gentleman, but now that Zhang Fei told Liu Bei's point of view, he was even more impressed with Liu Bei, and the image of the Ming Lord loomed in his heart.

"General Zhang, don't worry about troubles. I heard that Uncle Liu Huang, as the shepherd of Yuzhou, once recommended Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan, as a talented person. How can Yuan Tan not repay this kindness?

Yuan Tan's Qingzhou was adjacent to Xiaopei. Su thought that if the emperor's uncle was defeated and did not come to Huainan, he would go to Qingzhou to join Yuan Tan, and then go to Hebei to give Yuan Shao a gift. "

The selection and appointment of officials in the Han Dynasty was mainly based on the inspection system, which was "the county inspectors are filial and honest, and the prefectures are selected for talents."

At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were more than 100 counties in the whole country, even the county-level quotas for filial piety and integrity, and the allocation to the localities was very tight.

Liu Xiu established the country because of the power of the gentry. These gentry have been officials in the Han court for generations. After 200 years of accumulation, they have naturally become aristocratic families, such as the Yuan family in Runan, the Yang family in Hongnong, the Xun family in Yingchuan, and the king of Taiyuan. Shi.
The aristocratic families control the resources to become officials. Due to the large number of heirs among them, Xiaolian's quota also needs to be queued up to be allocated.

Yuan Shao's former opponent, Gongsun Zan, was born in the Gongsun clan of a large family in Liaodong, but because of his mother's low status, he was not a regular wife, so he could only serve as a minor official in the county after he grew up.

The competition for Xiaolian is so fierce, and the advanced version of Maocai is even rarer. The two can be taken alone or combined.

Liu Bei's investigation of Yuan Tan was equivalent to a teacher in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, so Lu Su was so sure that he would go to Qingzhou.

"Gifts? If my elder brother is defeated and goes to vote for Yuan Shao, what gift can I give?" Zhang Fei rolled his eyes.

Lu Su wanted to answer immediately, but when he saw Xia Houjuan present, he stroked his beard and remained silent.

Long Xiang smiled and suggested to Zhang Fei: "Mrs. Xiahou is exhausted, should Yide take her back to her room to rest? I'll ask someone to prepare some drinks. Let's drink and talk later?"

"Good good."
