Chapter 3203 Moving forward
Chen Xi is considered a believer in "If the granaries are full, you will know etiquette, and if you will know honor and disgrace when you have enough food and clothing", and is also the executor of this theory.
In fact, most Chen, who was born in Tian Qi, believed in this sentence. After all, this is Guan Zhong's theory. Although Tian overthrew Jiang's family, Tian was very respectful to Guan Zhong.
Well, in fact, it should be that he was very respectful to Duke Huan of Qi, Jiang Xiaobai. After all, it was this person who took in Chen Wan, allowing the Chen family to grow up again. However, the old Chen family took over the foundation of the descendants of Xiaobai, and it would be a bit too much to pay tribute to Duke Huan of Qi, so he converted to Guan Zhong.
Chen Xi also believes in this set of things and dare not say that he regards it as a standard. He has indeed been practicing this set of theories. This is also the reason why the old man of Chen thinks that Chen Xi is also orthodox.
Although Chen Xi often thinks that the old men simply think that Chen Xi is strong enough, so they give Chen Xi an orthodox, but then again, there is indeed nostalgic element here.
"This level is still far from the prosperous age." Chen Xi's eyes were calm and he just looked at Liu Bei, "Maybe this is a prosperous age in the eyes of the people, but in my eyes, I can do better. Now I am not as good as Cao Sikong's poem."
Cao Cao's poem about wine is the prosperous era in Cao Cao's eyes. If that poem is used as the standard, the Central Plains now have barely met the standards in poetry, and at most they are slightly lacking. However, this is not enough in Chen Xi's opinion.
"Zichuan, what did you look like when you were the most poor when you were a child?" Liu Bei walked to a green tiled house, reached out to push the door open, and asked with a smile when he took Chen Xi in.
"When I was the most poor?" Chen Xi thought about it, and shook his head, "I was probably much better than these people when I was the most poor."
The simplest way to say it is not about the previous life. In this life, Chen Xi also grew up eating white rice. Even if the family is in decline, there may be a scattered scholar who is not poor at this time. Even when Chen Xi came over, the maid and singer in the family left because Chen Xi was sick, not because he really left because he had no money or food at home.
A family that can use aristocratic families to educate and cultivate children cannot be said to be poor.
"That's right, after all, you are from the Chen family in Yingchuan." Liu Bei nodded and said, "Then take me as an example. When I was a child, I lived with the clan. Of course, the down-and-out royal family is not as good as you thousand-year-old nobles."
"It's nonsense, and it's a thousand-year-old nobleman. My ancestors also had times of being in a downturn." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said, in fact, he turned to history. Before the Three Kingdoms, no matter how miserable the Chen family was, they could stand upright on the table. The near branch would not be as depressed as Liu Bei's early years.
However, Liu Bei had no intention of exposing it. Instead, he smiled and said, "I lost my father when I was young. I lived a very hard life when I was young. At that time, I felt that I was already miserable. Later, I found that more people were even worse. When I was eating rice, they were eating wild vegetables and yellow rice with crumbs."
There was a laugh when he spoke, but at the end, there was a tragic feeling. Chen Xi was silent when he heard this. He had never eaten yellow rice with crumbs. He had eaten wild vegetables. The fried rice and the like was very delicious.
"When I was ignorant when I was young, I asked them why they didn't wash away the slags." Liu Bei said while walking in, "Do you know how those people answered?"
"Wash the yellow rice, the starch will be lost. The cleaner it is, the more it will be lost." Chen Xi looked at the layout in the house and replied casually, "Cook it directly. Although there will be scraps, it is not a problem to be careful when eating. Maybe this is the answer."
Liu Bei got stuck and suddenly didn't know what to say. Looking at Chen Xi, he didn't feel any expression at all. Liu Bei sighed. Chen Xi really understood, not joking.
"Yes, that's the answer." Liu Bei said with a sad face, "However, such a life is already a good day. At least there are wild vegetables and yellow rice, which are half full, and you can survive. When the Yellow Turban Rebellion is really not alive."
"So Duke Xuande didn't agree with killing the Yellow Turban back then, right?" Chen Xi suddenly looked sideways and said, "Duke Xuande wants to save those people, right?"
"I can't save it at all. I don't have that ability or power. After the Battle of the Yellow Turbans, I felt that there was really something wrong with this world, and I really thought about how to change this world." Liu Bei recalled that his face was a little sad.
Chen Xi was almost clear about the subsequent events. Before meeting him, Liu Bei still encountered a wall. Although many people think that Liu Bei is a hero, it is useless. A hero does not mean that Liu Bei can succeed, have no ability, connections, or territory.
"So I'm lucky." Liu Bei suddenly smiled and patted Chen Xi on the shoulder.
"Yes, yes, I'm thankful for meeting you," Chen Xi said sincerely, "so let's continue working. We haven't even finished half of the road, and we have to drag it to the finish line."
"Well, that's right, keep doing it!" Liu Bei said with great enthusiasm, then took off his shoes and prepared to go to the bed. The earthen kang is now quite popular, and many people like to repair such a thing.
However, after Liu Bei was on the bed with high morale, he suddenly remembered that he should have relieved Chen Xi's boredom? Why didn't Chen Xi have no ups and downs at all, and he became high morale. What the hell is this?
"No, Zichuan, aren't you touched those things?" Liu Bei suddenly turned around and asked Chen Xi after getting on the kang.
"What?" Chen Xi was confused. What were you looking at? The city wall was well built? I praised it.
"The people's food! There is also the fragrance of smoke from cooking stoves." Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi in confusion and said.
"Yellow rice, what's wrong? There are still steamed buns on the construction site. Recently, it has been upgraded to baking bread?" Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said.
That's right, Chen Xi really made the baking bread. In fact, he could order this thing after he could deliver the noodles. However, Chen Xi never ordered it. The requirements for baking are much higher than steamed buns. At that time, I couldn't afford this. Even if it was the cost of a single piece, Chen Xi always saved as much as possible, but it doesn't matter until now.
By the way, Chen Xi made real whole wheat bread, and she didn't even let go of bran. She added some salt and sugar to deal with it. She gave it to people in the future. There were not many people eating it. However, there were still many people who liked it. The bread and pickles tasted quite good.
"..." Liu Bei found that Chen Xi's way of thinking and his way of thinking were not the same as the same routine, but thinking about it was that there were still white steamed buns on the construction site.
"As for the fragrance of the smoke from cooking, it is not as fragrant as my home." Chen Xi's eyes were cunning, and he looked outside with a slight look. He stretched out his index finger and thought, and finally came to a conclusion.
Liu Bei said that at this moment he wanted to rush down and carry Chen Xi up and throw it away. It was as fresh as the kitchen of Chen Xi’s family. It would be dispersed, and it would be dispersed. The cuisines were all made by this guy. Chen Xi’s love for the desire to be savory is simply unreasonable to many people, but he also has to admit that the things circulating in Chen Xi’s family are really delicious.
"By the way, Duke Xuande, you shouldn't have an outdoor room." Chen Xi looked around curiously. It was very clean and obvious cleaning traces. Moreover, Old Man Li looked quite familiar with Liu Bei. Even if he couldn't see him many times, he really looked like a villager. What about the hostess?
"What are you thinking about?" Liu Bei groaned and said angrily, "I can still be like you."
"Don't, we are not the ones who raise the outdoors. Cai Chen is the legitimate son of the Cai family. I am raised." Chen Xi said that you were slandering my momentum.
"Forget it, forget it, let's not mention those bad things." Liu Bei changed the subject and Chen Xi said that there must be a story here, and there must be a mistress in the story.
Therefore, Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei with a strange smile and also went to the couch. There was a stove on the couch and there was also warm wine on it. He took out the wooden gift box from the side. Liu Bei arranged side dishes and snacks in two or three times. Although the matching was quite weird, it seemed that Liu Bei in the city liked it more.
"Hehehe." Chen Xi smiled very vulgarly, while Liu Bei was drinking speechlessly.
"Tell me, Duke Xuande, what's going on?" Chen Xi looked at Liu Bei with a smile.
"Not as many stories as you thought about." Liu Bei said angrily.
"I haven't told it's a story yet!" Chen Xi said with a smile, "Where is the hostess, it's not right."
"You're OK, she's not here." Liu Bei said angrily, "Why are you so many things that you have to make up for? You're not so mobile when you work? Why are you so excited when you gossip, what do you want to see?"
"Wow, I won't talk about my second brother from now on. I'll be crazy about you. Now, I'll help me carry it together in the future." Chen Xi said excitedly. He has a teammate. Although this teammate is not very reliable, at least he can share the pressure.
"This place was arranged by your mother-in-law." Liu Bei said quietly, but this light sentence was like a heavy punch that sank Chen Xi, unable to speak for a long time.
After a long time, Chen Xi picked up the wine glass and said quietly, "Let's discuss national affairs and the people's food and clothing issues. Let's forget about the others."
"Isn't I still dancing so happily just now?" Liu Bei said with a smile. "This pickle is pretty good. Try it. It's the first time I have seen it in 40 years. It costs only twenty-two cents to get a pot of this big serving. By the way, it's not that you produced this thing."
