Chapter 5 peace with the situation
"Aman, what are you doing in the kitchen?" The bridge stopped him, and his tone was a little unhappy: "A gentleman is far away from the kitchen. It's funny."
Sun Shao stopped, lowered his head slightly, meditated for a moment, turned his head and smiled faintly: "Mother, I'm not far away from the kitchen, and I can't become a gentleman, so I don't have to worry about that." After saying that, he walked out of the door quickly.
The bridge choked for a moment and was stunned for a long time without saying anything. Sun Shao's words made her very sad, and she couldn't be more sad. It seemed that she was ill this time. Sun Shao was completely clear about his situation. It was impossible for him to become an official, so he simply broke the jar. Thinking of Sun Shao's good martial arts, but he could only do nothing in the house, the bridge thought of his own situation, and a feeling of pity suddenly surged in his heart. His nose was sour and he wanted to cry.
"It's hard for this child." Qiao Ying's eyes also turned red.
"Why don't you go tomorrow?" The bridge suddenly said. Zhou's house will hold a banquet tomorrow because Zhou Xun is going to attack the Lord to lead the troops, while Sun Shao, who is one year older than Zhou Xun, can only stay at home. The two usually compete in the open and secretly, and neither of them will accept anyone. In this situation, the bridge feels that it is too cruel for Sun Shao.
"This...isn't it good?" Qiao Ying hesitated and advised softly, "Zhou's house has moved to Jianye. It's rare for your sisters to see each other. If you don't go to see each other, I'm afraid..."
The bridge is in a dilemma. Although she is a little sad about her sister Xiaoqiao's previous style, after all, the blood is connected. In addition, Xiaoqiao has also been widowed in the past two years. After experiencing her suffering, there have been many changes. The relationship between the two sisters has just improved, but now they have to separate again. Zhou Xun is going to lead the army. As a family member, his sister Xiaoqiao will definitely stay in Jianye in the future, and it is impossible for Sun Shao to lead the army, and Sun Quan will not let Sun Shao approach the power center. There are indeed not many opportunities for their sisters to meet in the future. If we don't see each other this time, who knows when we will see each other again?
"However, this is too much for A Man. Although A Xun and others have better tutors, after all, when they are young, A Xun is the most stable. Just now, they were sarcastic. What will happen to A Yin and A Yu? I'm afraid that we will break up unhappily at that time.
"What madam is worried is that it's just that I think the young master is ill this time. Maybe he is more open-hearted. Judging from today's performance, he is no longer as impatient as before. It's good to experience such an occasion. Even if he doesn't break up unhappily, in short, he is a relative, and he won't be unable to deal with it."
Daqiao thought about it and felt that Qiao Ying's words were reasonable. Even if Sun Shao was not an official, it was impossible not to associate with others in the future. In short, such a scene would be encountered.
The two were gossiping and talking about what they might encounter tomorrow. When they thought of asking Zhou Xun back, they couldn't help but have a headache. The financial resources of the house is far from that of Zhou's house. It's not an easy thing for Sun's house to invite Zhou Xun back.
Sun Shao walked out of the backyard and walked briskly to the kitchen. The kitchen is in the south of the east courtyard, which is separated from the yard of the house. There is a tall corner building in the north of the east courtyard, and below is where the servant and the guards live. There is a long roadway between the east courtyard and the west courtyard. There are high earth walls on both sides of the roadway. Looking up, the blue sky is like a narrow jade belt.
Sun Shao's mood is not as gloomy as that the bridge worried. He has known the problems he is facing in the past ten days. As Sun Ce's son, it is logical for Sun Quan to block him. When Sun Quan sits firmly in the country, give him some wealth and let him be a happy man, which is undoubtedly the best solution. This result is unacceptable to the original Sun Shao, but it is a good result for him, who is used to the resentment of the rich family and the bloody imperial power. Anyway, he has no plan to do a career in this troubled world. It is better to be a free marquis. I'm safe. I don't think Sun Quan will be crazy to kill himself.
So although he is a little envious of Zhou Xun, this envy is really limited. The reason why he said that to the bridge is actually to say that it is too tired and useless to be a serious gentleman. It's better to be an ordinary person, eat something delicious and play something fun. That's all. Why do you have to make contributions? Although Zhou Xun is proud now, the battlefield is dangerous. Who can guarantee that it will end well in the end? Is his father Zhou Yu awesome? It's not that he died young. I haven't heard of Zhou Yu's son's achievements in history. I guess it's impossible to surpass his father. Of course, I haven't heard about Sun Ce's son in history, so why should I go against the sky? The teacher said it well, and he didn't have much willingness to eat some delicious food, read some beautiful articles, and marry a few beautiful women. It's enough in this life.
The first step is to solve the problem of food.
In the past ten days, Sun Shao has learned something about the diet of the Han Dynasty. Most of the wine at this time is still low-grade wine, which is very similar to the yellow wine and rice wine of later generations. He has no idea about this. For health preservation, low-grade wine is more suitable than distilled high-grade wine, but for food, he Have a lot of ideas. Although the staple food we eat these days is also rice, it is very different from the rice made in later generations. These rice are steamed, which are steamed like steamed buns and steamed buns. Although they are cooked, they are very dry, and the dishes are even more outrageous. Eating dishes in this era is very similar to the hot pot of later generations, and it is a hot pot that does not make fire. In addition to the soup and cooking dishes that are prepared in the kitchen in advance, they are lettuce, meat, and fish. They are dipped in seasonings. Occasionally, they feel fresh, and they are a little tired of eating every day. The most important thing is that he didn't see a stir-fried dish from beginning to end.
He has always buried these questions in his heart. Today, he went to the kitchen in person, and he decided to have a close understanding of the world's food culture with his own eyes.
"Young master?" As soon as Sun Shao entered the kitchen, a fat middle-aged woman greeted her with an exaggerated smile: "Why did you come to this dirty place in person? Oh, Miss Yue, why don't you persuade the young master? If there is anything wrong, just say it to the girl. Why let the young master come in person?"
Qiao Yue, who had been following Sun Shao, greeted him with a smile and said apologetically, "Oh, Aunt Qin, you are wrong with me, Xiaoyue. The young master came to you. I didn't bring you here. It was because my wife had a bad appetite. The young master said he wanted to find some delicious food and honor his wife."
Aunt Qin's face suddenly froze. Although she was still smiling, there was no smile in her eyes. Qiao Yue's words are equivalent to slapping her in the face in disguise, asking the young master to come to the kitchen to find food for his wife. Doesn't that mean that she, the catering supervisor, is a dereliction of duty?
"Yo, so, my wife really can't afford it." Aunt Qin took a step back, bent down her bucket-like fat waist, and saluted Sun Shao: "Young master, the old slave is incompetent. Please punish the young master."
