Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 24: Marry Yin Lihua
After this day, Wang Mang, the founding emperor of the new dynasty, seemed to be a different person. At the beginning of the establishment of the new dynasty, although there were constant internal and external troubles, this emperor was considered diligent, and under his efforts to make up for it, there was no serious problem.
However, from this day onwards, Wang Mang only mixed with some monks every day. These monks continued to add blessings to Wang Mang's practice. In January, Wang Mang often did not go to court for half a month. It was only half a year later that the situation in the new dynasty had not yet stabilized, and it had already eroded.
At that time, dozens of forces, large and small, such as Chimei, Lulin, and Tongma had already formed, and two of them had become a rebellion. The Chimei Army has already captured several counties. The imperial court sent troops several times to collect them, but they all failed. In a few months, more than a dozen counties in the new dynasty have returned to Lulin and Chimei.
At this time, Wang Mang was still obsessed. Instead, he became more and more obsessed with the monks' prayers, but although the new emperor didn't worry about it, his crown prince couldn't hold his breath. It really complied with what Wu Mian said at the beginning. At the beginning of the fourth year of the emperor, Wang Lin, the prince of the new dynasty, rebelled in the palace. It is a pity that he was reported for his undisclosed behavior, and he committed suicide after being defeated.
The death of the Crown Prince sounded the death knell for the new dynasty. From this day on, almost every day counties were occupied by the enemy. However, Wang Mang was unmoved and spent almost every day in the cultivator pile. Every two or three days, I will pray to the sky once, when I meet the first or fifteenth day of the new year or the birthday of the immortal in the sky. This court has to stop everything, and the new emperor personally brings the civil and military officials to pray together.
In order to show his devotion to praying, Wang Mang has been a vegetarian since the day he prayed. He himself is not a vegetarian, and he specifically ordered that officials and people in the entire Chang'an City should not kill or eat meat. Every day, they send scouts to investigate in the streets and alleys, and if they encounter anyone who kills and eats meat, they will be executed on the spot.
As a result, the large and small restaurants in Chang'an City and the homes of ordinary people were all cut off from meat and fish. Although the wine shop still has wine to sell, but if you drink with green vegetables and radishes, you can't drink the wine. The two monsters were suffocating because of this, and they didn't have to drink too much in the first few days, Bai Wuqiu had already carried Xiao Ren San and scolded all over the street.
Later, Bai Wuqiu and Xiao Ren Sanxue's spirits ended, and these two monsters stopped going out to drink. First, they bought ten jars and eight jars of good wine from the wine shop, and then the two of them got some live chickens and sheep back from nowhere. It was handed over to the cook at home, slaughtered and cooked, and served as a drink.
A few times, the aroma of the fat sheep being cooked here has alarmed the officials, and a dozen or so vicious officials are about to come in to get people. They were beaten and scolded by Bai Wuqiu. If the housekeeper hadn't stopped them, most of these officials would have stayed here for life. Later, people from Tingwei Yamen inquired about Wu Mian and several people, and they knew that they were friends of Yan Jie, the emperor of the new dynasty. I could only bear this breath, and avoided that house when I patrolled the streets afterwards.
One day after that, Bai Wuqiu strolled around the street during the day, and when he came back, he came back with a dead dog like a calf. After returning, Bai Wuqiu threw the dead dog under the kitchen. He instructed the cook to cook it in a big pot, and use this dog meat for drinking at night.
After a while, the cook will put the packed dog meat into the pot. After the soup boiled, the aroma of dog meat could be smelled in half of Chang'an City. Seeing that the dog meat was about to be cooked, Bai Wuqiu and Xiao Ren San were already full of wine. Just as he was drooling and was about to ask Wu Mian to come out to drink and eat meat, someone outside the gate suddenly said, "It smells so good! It smells so good! I can't imagine that in the huge Chang'an city, the aroma of wine and meat can only be smelled here. I don't know if the host is hospitable, can you share with me a bowl of meat soup and wine. I will definitely give more wine at that time..."
"It's not hospitable! It's also a rich man here, and it's not worth your money!" Hearing that the man outside the door wanted to come in to beg for food, Xiao Ren San's brows furrowed. This little guy is still a child's food-protecting heart. A few days ago, he had a big fight with Bai Wuqiu because of the last bite of chicken. In the end, under its splashing and rolling, the last chicken with meat and soup all fell into the stomach of this ginseng doll.
Now that I hear someone's idea of this dog meat and wine, Xiao Ren San naturally refuses to inquire. But just when it incited Bai Wuqiu to scold the street and scolded the man at the door, the man outside the door continued: "The smell of meat is good, but the smell of wine is a little worse. The smell of wine will dissipate when it meets the wind, and it will still fade away. It’s a pity that such delicacies are not accompanied by good wine, it’s a pity...”
These jars of fine wine were all drunk by Xiao Ren San in one of the wine shops in Chang'an City, and he picked out these jars of wine for the entire Chang'an City. If this is not good wine, then the wine in other wineries can not be called wine.
The little guy's anger came out when he heard someone talking about the wine he had chosen was not in the flow. Now that the dog meat is out of the pot, Xiao Ren San yelled at the person outside: "Fart! Fart! Our ginseng knows that you want to come in and get drunk, bah! Just smell the smell outside the door to satisfy your cravings! I'll give you the dog bones in a moment - huh?
When Xiao Ren San scolded him normally, suddenly a smell of fine wine floated in from the door. Xiao Ren San's saliva flowed to the ground involuntarily, and then he heard the man outside the door say, "I brought a jar of fine wine from my hometown. If the owner here doesn't dislike it, how about we taste wine together?"
After this person finished speaking, Xiao Ren San ran to the door staggeringly as if he had lost his soul. Before the butler came over, he had already opened the door one step earlier. I saw a young man in his early twenties standing at the door, holding a jar of fine wine that had been sealed with mud, and the unusual aroma was wafting from the jar.
"Bring such a good wine here, you didn't say it earlier..." Xiao Ren San grabbed the wine jar in his arms, and the little guy put his nose to the edge of the wine jar. After taking a deep breath, his face was full of intoxication. At the moment, the little guy couldn't control himself, and took a sip from the wine jar. Then the small eyes narrowed immediately, and the face instantly flushed. After just one sip, he was a little drunk, and then turned around and said to the young man who was still standing at the door: "For the sake of your good wine, I will divide you into two pieces of meat..."
At the moment, the young man came in with Xiao Ren San, and together with Bai Wuqiu, made a dog meat pot. After Er Lengzi took a sip of the wine brought by this man, he exclaimed again and again. Even Wu Mian, who was still in the room, was alarmed. He didn't expect the aroma of the wine to be so strong.
At this time, the dog meat was just right, and Bai Wuqiu and Xiao Ren San didn't even bother to ask that person's name. He took the bowls and chopsticks directly, and regardless of humility, he directly fished the meat from the pot. The two monsters took a sip of dog meat and a sip of wine, and in the blink of an eye, they were sweating profusely.
And the young man didn't seem to know what the word polite was. He asked for bowls and chopsticks from the housekeeper. He didn't think of himself as an outsider at all. Put dog meat in his mouth. Wu Mian stood in his room, watching the young man eat and drink as fast as two monsters. There was a rare smile that wasn't sneering or mocking at the corner of his mouth.
Although Bai Wuqiu brought back a big dog of 40 to 50 jin, it couldn't stand their way of eating. It didn't take long for a pot of dog meat to be left with only a little bit of soup and dog bones left, and a jar of fine wine had bottomed out at this time. The young man, Bai Wuqiu, and Xiao Ren San touched their bulging belly. The two demons looked at each other and laughed "haha" almost at the same time.
Bai Wuqiu glanced at the dog bones in the pot, and said with the strength of the wine: "If you eat meat, you will eat dog meat." The blushing little Ren San smiled, and then Er Lengzi continued: "If you drink, you will eat dog meat." Drink good wine."
After the young man drank the last sip of wine in the wine jar, he suddenly laughed and finally said: "If you marry a wife, marry Yin Lihua..."
