Ying Zheng took the exquisite pottery jar in his hand and stared at it and played with it for a while.
"Humph, she's thoughtful."
Of course Ying Zheng knew about the wine-making workshop, but he didn't expect to receive the things that Zhao Jun specially sent back so soon.
Now I feel very comfortable.
After hearing this, Fusu on the side also came forward and stared at his father embarrassedly.
Ying Zheng understood what he meant at a glance.
Ying Zheng was very calm about his son who had become more and more lively during this period. He put the things aside in the wooden box without even looking at him.
Fusu lowered his head and silently retreated to the side.
Alas, my father’s meaning is very clear.
"Lord Meng, how are you doing over there, sir? Is the mountain road in Ba County really as dangerous as the rumors say?"
Fusu didn't taste the wine and instead asked curiously about Ba County.
"My Lord, I have observed that the mountain roads in Ba County are indeed treacherous, but after six months of renovations by Lord Zhao, they have improved considerably."
Meng Yi told him some interesting stories about Ba County.
"Master Zhao has been very kind to me in Ba County. There are even local men in Ba County who want to marry me."
Meng Yi said jokingly.
He was just joking, but as soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall became a little strange.
"Asking to marry?"
Ying Zheng frowned and asked back in a low voice, his whole body seemed to suddenly freeze.
His eyes swept over Meng Yi lightly, causing him to stiffen.
"Sir, do you want to marry me?"
Fusu spoke with a look of excitement on his face.
Meng Yi felt the king's gaze next to him like a thorn in his back, and hurriedly added.
"Of course Lord Zhao didn't agree. Besides, she has already arrived in Shu County and has no contact with anyone in Ba County."
Meng Yi quickly added and carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Besides, Lord Zhao said that she is devoted to the Qin State and will not consider marriage until the Qin State is well established."
The suffocating air seemed to slowly calm down.
"Well, that's about right. As a loyal minister of the Qin Dynasty, I must put aside external things."
Ying Zheng retracted his gaze, lowered his eyes and spoke lightly.
"But, building the Great Qin wouldn't prevent you from getting married, would it?"
Fusu muttered softly.
After a while, the two rushed out.
"Why is my father so angry all of a sudden? He even banned me from entering the palace for a month."
Fusu scratched his head, puzzled.
Meng Yi next to him sighed, feeling angry.
It’s all the fault of that cunning guy Xiao He.
When he told me about Shi Hong before, he specifically revealed that he wanted him to tell the king.
Unexpectedly, the cunning guy was waiting for him here.
He must have known that the king would punish him when he found out about this!
Alas, what a pity. Not only did I not receive any commendation after this trip, I was also scolded.
Humph, bastard Xiao He!
Xiao He, who was far away in Shu County, certainly had no idea how Meng Yi scolded him, and he didn't care either.
He is busy now.
When Zhao Jundang was the hands-off manager who only did auxiliary work, he was pushed to the front line and was almost busy to death all day long.
"Xiao He, you've worked hard. I'm so lucky to have a helper like you~"
Zhao Jun shouted artificially, his tone was particularly affected.
Not surprisingly, he got a cold eye from Xiao He, who was covered in dust and had just gotten off work.
"Oh, that's enough. I know you've been working hard lately. Fortunately, the cement road to the prefecture is now completed. You can take a good rest now. I'll take care of the road to the county town later."
Zhao Jun flattered in an especially flattering manner.
As expected, I got another eye roll.
Xiao He was no longer angry because he understood that he was born to be a hard-working person.
"Oh, don't be like this. I know you've been working hard lately. I've personally cooked hot pot tonight. You must eat more then."
When I was in Bajun, I was so busy every day that I forgot that I had never made hot pot with the local peppers from Bashu.
Thanks to Xiao He's help during this period, she remembered this.
"Hot pot? Are you sure I can eat it?"
Xiao He was speechless. He had heard Fusu talk about hot pot before.
In short, it is spicy, but I can't eat spicy food.
She can't be so excessive, right?
"Of course, I made a mandarin duck soup pot specially for you."
Of course, Zhao Jun did not lie. In the afternoon, she asked the kitchen to stew a chicken and added mushrooms unique to Shu County.
Now several people gathered together and prepared to taste Zhao Jun’s 鴻鴻 hotpot.
It was the first time for Lu Jing and Liu Bang to hear about this kind of food. Although Xiao He had heard of it, he had never eaten it.
But looking at the snow-white chicken soup without any chili on the other side, Xiao He nodded with satisfaction.
Afterwards, Zhao Jun introduced the way to eat it to a few people, and he started to work on the red pot full of chili peppers without any hesitation.
The other three were a little uncomfortable with eating from the same pot.
But it was okay since Zhao Jun provided serving chopsticks for everyone.
The three of them quickly engaged in a battle over the hot pot.
Especially Liu Bang and Lu Jing loved this way of eating.
Xiao He, who was concentrating on the clear soup pot alone, was also particularly satisfied and did not care about Zhao Jun's laziness for the time being.
Get together with friends in Shujun to enjoy locally made handmade hotpot.
It seems that at this moment, food connects the past and the present.
For a while, the atmosphere was lively with people drinking and chatting.
However, the perfect party was interrupted by a hurried announcement at the front door.
Although everyone had finished eating by this time, it was still a bit unpleasant to be disturbed while they were resting in their chairs.
