Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

Ying Zheng was not a king like Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty. He would never deliberately ask officials to work with integrity. For him, as long as the officials and ministers of the Qin State could do their jobs, even if these ministers' daily lives were a little more luxurious, It doesn’t hurt either.

But like last night, is it a little too much?

Even Ying Zheng, as the King of Qin, has never enjoyed what Mr. Mo did yesterday, otherwise he wouldn't have been directly confused by Mr. Mo's 'one-stop service' last night.

After all, as the King of Qin, Yingzheng naturally has a Wenchi... which is a place to soak in hot springs.

But this thing is not in the Xianyang Palace. As the king of Qin, Yingzheng had places similar to the "Cold Refuge Villa" and "Summer Resort". Usually during the severe cold and severe heat, the kings of Qin in the past dynasties would usually move to corresponding places to rest. a period of time.

However, our hard-working and self-disciplined Ying Zheng has always disdained these places, so... he has never enjoyed them.

In Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng's food is definitely not as good as Mo Jun's.

Because even the King of Qin of the Qin State could not always enjoy the freshest fruits and vegetables in winter. Why did Ying Zheng eat up the meal yesterday?

In fact, what Ying Zheng ate the most last night was not meat. Although he also ate a lot of meat, what Ying Zheng ate the most was all kinds of fresh vegetables and fruits.

After all, in this cold season, it is really a rare thing to be able to eat fresh vegetables.

What's more, the various fruits and vegetables at Mo Jun's side are extraordinary.

Nowadays, the various vegetables native to the Central Plains are actually just a few things, onions, ginger, green vegetables, leeks, soybeans... and then they are almost gone.

Although Mr. Mo later began to popularize 'exotic vegetables', in this cold winter month, even Ying Zheng obviously couldn't eat these things.

Not to mention that the various fruits and vegetables in [Mo Mansion] are all varieties improved by Mo Jun, like the 'Emerald Lychee' and 'Purple Jade Grape' that were served before, because they are all for the enjoyment of his own family. So Mr. Mo spent a lot of effort cultivating these fruits.

At present, technology cannot produce a perfect [greenhouse], so Mr. Mo simply uses the 'Growth Spirit Liquid' to force it to grow out of season.

As a result, these fruits grow even better than in later generations.

Not to mention drinking.

The wine that Ying Zheng drank last night was made from [Purple Jade Grape] as raw material by Mo Jun, and then extracted from the "Monkey Wine" accidentally found deep in the Qinling Mountains by a farmer in Hanzhong County with a [Decomposer]' Yeast' for brewing.

After the final brewing, the impurities are extracted with a [decomposer].

It can be said that this small pot of wine is full of black technology and plug-ins. Not to mention the taste of Ying Zheng, even Mo Jun himself had never drank it in his later generations.

The last step is accommodation and rest.

Naturally, Xianyang Palace also has such things as silk goose down quilts, but the problem is that Xianyang Palace does not have such a thing as ‘heating’!

Not to mention, Ying Zheng had never seen it before today, but the environment here reminded Ying Zheng of the Baichuan Restaurant that he had heard about from Huang Huan before.

The environment here now is like spring all year round!

Compare it like this.

He, Yingzheng, the majestic king of the Qin Kingdom, could not only outdo his ministers in eating, drinking, and sleeping.

What's more important is that he, Ying Zheng, is obviously very diligent and only sleeps four hours a day, and spends the rest of his time dealing with political affairs, but his achievements are still not as good as those of his ministers.

After all, as the princess of Hanzhong, Mo Jun only had one year to develop the place.

As the king of Qin, Ying Zheng worked hard for several years after taking power, but he only achieved initial results in the development of Qin.

oh!

wrong.

Even in the development of Qin State, at least half of the credit belongs to Lord Mo.

Is there any heavenly principle?

Is there any royal law?

"This Qing Mo, I am really giving you surprises one after another!"

Ying Zheng pinched his eyebrows and said. But this time, his tone was obviously more gnashing of teeth compared to the previous joy.

To know.

Some time ago, Mr. Mo had been hiding in Hanzhong, and Ying Zheng originally thought that Mr. Mo was 'avoiding suspicion'.

Because now Ying Zheng has a certain understanding of his own Mo Qing. This person is very good in other aspects, but he is a little timid. Since he was named 'Sheng Pingjun', unless it is a critical moment, Mo Jun is basically Will not rashly participate in political affairs.

Although this attitude left Ying Zheng speechless, he had to admit that Mo Jun's behavior did make Ying Zheng worry a lot.

After all, if there is another "Lu Buwei" figure in Qin, even Ying Zheng will feel a little headache.

But in this way, I felt a little aggrieved to Mr. Mo.

As the majestic ‘Sheng Pingjun’ of Great Qin, he could not show off his prowess in the court. Instead, he had to huddle in the ‘low-lying land’ between the mountains and ridges and act in a low profile.

to be honest.

Originally, Ying Zheng felt a little guilty towards Mr. Mo.

Especially after the "Jin Youjun case" not long ago, in that case, Mo Jun could really be regarded as sitting at home, and the pot came from the sky, and he suffered a great injustice for no reason.

So when he came to Hanzhong this time, Ying Zheng originally meant to comfort and make up for Mo Jun.

The results of it!

The results of it?

Tell me, is this the kind of fairy life you lived in Hanzhong?

The 'heater' blowing on made Ying Zheng a little drowsy. As a king, Ying Zheng's willpower was naturally far beyond that of ordinary people. However, after only staying in Mo Mansion for one night, Ying Zheng felt that his will had been greatly weakened.

In order to prevent himself from falling asleep again while lying on the bed, Ying Zheng could only get up and put on his clothes, and then opened the door. The cold air outside the door blew into his face, finally making Ying Zheng wake up a little.

Zhao Gao and Gai Nie were already waiting outside the door. After Ying Zheng went out, he and Gai Nie looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of 'confusion' that had not dissipated in the other's eyes.

Obviously, not only Ying Zheng, but also Gai Nie, the 'Sword Master', was confused by Mr. Mo's 'one-stop service' yesterday.

"Gentlemen, please ask the younger one to help you wash up."

Not long after the three of them woke up, they saw three Mo Mansion slaves walking over carrying a hot water basin, a towel, a small porcelain bottle, and a stick with hair on the top.

"What is this?"

Ying Zheng asked curiously.

The hot water basin and towels were naturally not unusual, but the three of them had never seen the stick with hair on the top and the black paste in the small porcelain bottle.

"In response to this gentleman, this is toothpaste and a toothbrush."

"Toothbrushes were invented by adults and can be used to clean teeth. Toothpaste is an ointment prepared by Master Yaogui using medicinal materials and snowflake salt. It can be used with toothbrushes to care for teeth."

It was obviously not the first time that the servant of Mo Mansion answered such a question from a guest, so his words seemed very skillful.

Ying Zheng and the others were speechless for a moment.

This person is really good at enjoying himself!

However, when the three of them finished brushing their teeth and felt the freshness in their mouths, they immediately said:

‘This thing... is really unsightly. ’

After washing, the servants of the Mo Mansion led the three people to the dining hall.

At this time, Fu Nian and Six-fingered Black Man were already waiting in the dining hall, but Mr. Mo was nowhere to be seen.

"Is Shengping-kun still awake?"

"Master Mo is making breakfast in the kitchen."

"Mr. Shengping cooks in person?" Ying Zheng asked with surprise on his face.

Hearing this, the six-fingered black man immediately stroked his beard and smiled: "It seems that Mr. Zhao still doesn't know that Mr. Shengping's cooking skills are very rare even in the world. Even the widely rumored chief chef of [Baichuan Restaurant] "Ding" "Chef", he also received the guidance of Lord Shengping, and he is considered to be half of Lord Shengping's disciple."

"It's a pity that Mr. Shengping doesn't have the opportunity to cook on weekdays. Today, thanks to Mr. Zhao's blessing, we are lucky enough to taste Mr. Shengping's cooking."

Ying Zheng looked stunned. In fact, with the intelligence network of the Qin State, it was natural that he could not find out that Lord Mo was proficient in cooking. After all, Lord Mo had never deliberately concealed this matter.

It's just one thing to find out, but this kind of information usually doesn't appear in front of Ying Zheng.

the reason is simple.

Because intelligence is also divided into priorities, major affairs of the seven countries are ranked first, domestic important matters are ranked second, people's livelihood in various places is ranked third, and official and government affairs are ranked fourth...

As the 'Shengping Lord' of Great Qin, Mr. Mo naturally kept a lot of his information with Ying Zheng, but for information like 'cooking skills', being able to add a little mention to the record is already considered as a sign of Mo Jun's intelligence. You take it seriously.

While the two were talking, they saw Mr. Mo slowly walking from the door, followed by several servants of the Mo Mansion carrying trays with plates of steaming dishes.

"Mr. Zhao, did you have a good rest last night?"

Seeing Ying Zheng arriving, Mo Jun smiled and said.

Ying Zheng twitched the corner of his mouth and replied: "I'll probably never forget what I experienced last night in my life."

"That's good. In that case, let's enjoy breakfast! We are in a hurry today, so I only prepared a few simple side dishes. In addition, the chef just cooked a pot of lamb bone soup yesterday, so I made it on the way. I ordered some ramen, you can try it to see if it suits your taste."

As he spoke, Mr. Mo was commanding the servants of the Mo Mansion to cook cucumbers, stir-fried vegetables, fried eggs with green onions, fried prawns in oil, plain-cut chicken, braised pork ribs, and mutton fried with green onions...

One by one they were placed on the dining table.

Then he asked the servants of the Mo Mansion to place portions of lamb bone ramen noodles filled with white air in front of everyone.

Smelling the fresh aroma of mutton bone ramen that continued to enter his nose, and looking at the dozen or so delicious and delicious dishes on the table, Ying Zheng's eyelids twitched slightly.

Then······

Not surprisingly, I was full again.

······

Eat and drink enough.

Everyone left one after another.

Only Mo Jun was left to accompany Ying Zheng and the others to the back garden of Mo Mansion for a walk to eat.

The servants of the Mo Mansion picked a bunch of 'Purple Jade Grapes' from the [orchard], washed them and brought them. Ying Zheng ate one with a big belly, feeling the clear and sweet taste in his mouth, and sighed: "The good things in Mo Qing's Mansion are There are so many things, I have learned a lot this time!"

Mo Jun's eyes moved and he immediately smiled and said: "If the king likes it, I will send someone to deliver a copy to the palace."

Ying Zheng gave Mr. Mo a "superior" look and said with satisfaction: "Qing Mo is truly worthy of being the best among men."
