Leping’s not easy?

Not to mention Zhang Niujiao, who just led his own brother down the mountain with a tree branch on his shoulder, looked at Cui Lie with a bewildered and puzzled expression.

Even if many scholars outside of Leping received daily letters from Xi Zhicai, if they heard what Cui Lie said at this time, they would probably roll their eyes at him.

Look at Xi Zhicai!

After his own county lord was banned from Leping, he also had a lot less need to strategize.

Therefore, in Leping, where the development continued slowly but steadily, his letters were full of a free and easy, healthful meaning.

Almost make He Yuming dead.

But He Yuming also knows that he is now the host of the San Gongfu, and he is obviously impossible to step back in the vortex of Luoyang.

In October of the Second Year of the Middle Plains, Yang Ci, the Minister of Works, died of his illness.

In the same month, Xiang, the Grand Guardian, was promoted to Minister of Works to fill the position left by Yang Ci.

Guanglu Xun Ding was appointed as the Minister of War and became the successor to Cui Lie.

In November of the Second Year of the Middle Plains, Zhang Wen defeated Beigong Boyu in Meiyang and achieved a phased victory over the Han Dynasty’s rebellion in Liangzhou.

But Dong Zhuo and Zhou Shen, who were responsible for pursuing the Zero Qiang, failed to further consolidate their victory.

In the third year of the Middle Plains, Zhao Cifan of Jiangxia rebelled, and Qin Jie, the governor of Nanyang, who had made great contributions in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, was killed.

In October of the third year of the Middle Plains, the barbarians of Wuling rebelled, and in December, the Xianbei invaded Youzhou, and the sound of turmoil from all sides became more frequent.

But what is the emperor doing at this time?

Zhang Wen was still the prime minister and Minister’s position was vacant.

Liu Hong finally had the opportunity to appoint Zhong Zhong.

Zhang Yan, the former prime minister, who had long been able to see the balance of power on the top of the church, but was unable to see how he could escape the fate of being imprisoned and executed for his office, became a fire that Liu Hong could burn to the ground.

Ding Kong, Xiang, and Zhang Wen, trembled in the three public offices, and the discussion of the punishment was even more openly placed on the table.

In the autumn past Huailing, countless officials/boarders lamented, fighting to the death.

Fortunately, there was a general amnesty in the world, which might prevent disaster.

….

In the winter of the second year of Zhongping, some of the yams harvested in Leping were made into yam powder by county residents hired by Qiao Yan to prevent improper preservation during the non-agricultural season.

They were sent to Jinyang for sale.

Xi Zhicai also sent a few cans along with his letter to He Ye.

It was said that because of the friendship between Qiao Yan and Hua Tuo, Qiao Yan wrote to ask what medicine should be added to the yam powder, and finally it became the contents of these jars.

【Yam, ginseng, and white atractylodes are combined to treat weak spleen and stomach, and Niebo is busy seeking all things, the heart is not smooth, and he does not think about food, so he sent a trial.】

This letter of sending medicine finally lacked a bit of narrow flavor.

But if Xi Zhicai didn’t mention in the letter that the yam in Leping was cultivated better than the ordinary mountain yam, the medicinal effect would be better.

Whoever made this guy not want to praise the efficacy of the medicine, but immediately began to talk about the delicacies derived from yams.

The meaning between the lines is that if you don’t think about food and appetite, I’m eating well now, I’ll share the recipe with you, or you can try it.

For example, Xi Zhicai had previously been sent yam ribs soup by Qiao Yan when he had a cold.

At that time, the ribs were lamb ribs, after all, in the state of Bingzhou, the development of animal ranch to the north is developed, and eating lamb is very normal.

But this time the ribs are pork ribs.

Cutting pigs has been available since the business period, The taste of pork is not that bad either.

However, in the Han Dynasty, pigs were one of the sacrifices to the emperor, and it was difficult to raise them at home due to the shortage of food, and the price was relatively higher than that of other meats.

But Qiao Yan, as a Leping marquis, can still afford to eat.

In addition to being in a state of home isolation, according to Xi Zhicai, she attaches great importance to the livelihoods of Leping, simply showing off the ‘Book of Sisheng’ compiled by the former Han Dynasty.

One of these items was written: “Breaking gourds for the purpose of fattening pigs with white skin.” After building pigsties in Leping, people were first ordered to castrate pigs, and then they were fed with gourds.

This was probably based on agricultural books of the time as evidence for scientific pig farming.

Therefore, in the winter of the third year of Zhongping, Leping finally enjoyed authentic yam ribs soup.

With such reasonable breeding and delicious pork, Xi Zhicai’s life of health and gourmet food took off uncontrollably.

He Ye almost thought for two consecutive months that the letter was written by Xi Zhicai, and was about to tear it up.

What this nonsense first wrote was that Leping Marquis made Dongpo meat with brown sugar to enhance the color, although Xi Zhicai didn’t know why this dish was called Dongpo meat.

However, it didn’t prevent him from thinking that the color was like amber and melted in the mouth, truly a triple enjoyment of color, aroma, and taste.

Then he said that Leping pork had very little strange taste, and the meat was particularly fatty.

After the spring, he went to the outskirts of the county to roast ribs on the grill and paired it with fragrant spring wine, which was truly a worldly enjoyment.

He Ye stared at the letter, deeply feeling a certain sensation.

A person who deserved a beating might say a few human words, but it couldn’t change his nature.

Sooner or later, he would write something that made people want to sever ties with him.

However, He Ye couldn’t do that.

Because what Xi Zhicai said was particularly important.

Qiao Yan was indeed confined to the territory of Leping, but every ten days she would make a trip to the prefectural capital, not reducing her contact with other parts of Bingzhou.
