Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

Mo Jun allowed the medicine ghost to shake his shoulders.

He neither stopped the other party, nor opened his mouth to explain to the other party.

He just smiled at the corner of his mouth and looked at the medicine ghost quietly.

After a while.

Yao Gui slowly calmed down. When he saw Mo Jun's expression, he instantly understood that he had been tricked by the cunning kid in front of him.

However, he knew that this was the opponent's bait, so he had to take the initiative to get in.

Because this is a conspiracy.

And it was a conspiracy that he couldn't refuse no matter what.

"Boy, come up with your terms! As long as you are willing to give me the method of cultivating the elixir, I can agree to any terms you want." Yao Gui sighed.

"Master Yao Gui is joking. How can such a secret skill be revealed to others lightly."

The drug ghost was slightly silent.

He also understood that he was a bit wishful thinking. After all, there was only one medicine ghost, and a rare secret technique like this was a family heirloom that could be passed down for thousands of generations.

"What do you want?"

"Haha~~Master, don't be nervous, after all, I'm not a devil."

Mr. Mo chuckled and said: "I just want to make a deal with Master. Now Mr. Mo has only established a preliminary foothold in Qin State, so he lacks many diners. If Master is willing to work for me, then in the meantime, Mr. Mo You can help the master cultivate all the elixirs you want for free."

"And in this way, Master doesn't violate the teachings of our ancestors, how about that?"

Yao Gui's face darkened and he said, "Boy, you are so dark! You want to tie me to death by your side!"

Mo Jun smiled slightly and said, "But it's fair, isn't it?"

Yao Gui said nothing, acquiescing.

Compared with the cruelty of this era, although Mr. Mo was initially suspected of being a drug addict, he had to say that the conditions he offered were indeed very fair.

This is like the contract workers of later generations, working for a day and getting paid for a day.

"Speaking of which, since you are now a noble of the Qin State, don't you think of asking me to serve the King of Qin?"

Mr. Mo smiled calmly and said: "I can't let the master go against the teachings of my ancestors! Can't you? Of course, I ask the master to pay more attention to the prescription, after all, it is related to my merits. "

Hearing this, Yao Gui looked at Mr. Mo deeply and said nothing more.

Just turned around and walked out of the backyard, and at the same time a voice came: "Boy, lend me some carriages, I need them for moving."

······

Three days later.

Yao Gui and his two apprentices officially settled in Mo Mansion.

In order to welcome the new addition to the Mo Mansion, Mr. Mo immediately sent someone to buy two fat sheep. At the same time, he personally cooked some stir-fry dishes in a newly made iron pot and held a grand banquet.

Upon hearing that there was going to be another banquet, Xiong Er was so excited that tears flowed down from the corners of his mouth.

"Huh? Boy, I didn't expect you to know how to cook?"

Yao Gui couldn't help but look surprised as he took a bite of the fried leek and eggs prepared by Mo Jun.

"And your skills are quite similar to the dishes cooked by a chef I met when I was traveling in Songhai, Qi State."

"This dish is stir-fried, which is really uncommon nowadays."

Mo Jun was not surprised that Yao Gui said he had eaten stir-fried vegetables from other places.

Not to mention that this is not the Warring States period in official history. Even if it is now official history, it is not necessarily that no one has invented iron pot cooking. Maybe it is just not popular.

Mr. Mo knows very well that you should never underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. Perhaps due to the development of the times, the vision of the ancients is not as good as his own. But compared to those people who have left a great reputation in the long history, I am just an ordinary research dog.

"The other two dishes seem to be the 'medicinal seeds' you got from me, right? You actually ate him as a dish?"

Mo Jun glanced at the direction of his finger, hesitated, and said, "This~~ Let's just say, is there a possibility that these two 'medicine seeds' are originally vegetables?"

Medicine ghost: "······"

The two dishes that Yao Gui refers to are cucumbers with garlic and eggplants with soy sauce. Whether it is garlic, cucumbers or eggplants, their origins are not in the Central Plains, but near India in South and West Asia.

Originally, these should have been introduced to the Central Plains during the Han Dynasty.

But before, Yao Gui was searching for herbs all over the world, traveling all the way to the west, and after crossing the barbarian land, he accidentally met a foreign trader and exchanged a lot of seeds from Southwest Asia from him.

These seeds are not easy to grow, and vegetables are similar to medicinal materials. They have certain requirements for environment, temperature, sunshine and other factors.

That is to say, Mr. Mo has the 'Growth Spirit Liquid' in his hand, otherwise even if the medicine ghost comes to plant it himself, it is estimated that at least half of the seeds will not be able to be planted.

As for the soybean paste used to stir-fry eggplant, it is relatively simple. Mo Jun does not need to make it specially, it is available everywhere in Qin.

During the Warring States Period, vegetables were extremely scarce. The common vegetables were green vegetables, leeks, water spinach, clam heads, and winter melons. The rest were mostly uncommon wild vegetables such as mountain mushrooms.

The taste is extremely bland.

In contrast, the variety of meat may be more abundant, after all, hunting is now allowed.

However, unless it is high-quality meat, simple steaming of ordinary meat cannot suppress the fishy smell. In order to have a taste in the mouth when eating, the people of Lao Qin invented a wide variety of dipping sauces and soups.

In addition, various legumes are also very abundant in this era, which just meets people's needs.

But having said that.

The taste of the finished product is still hard to describe.

at this point.

From the way that Yao Gui, a master of medicine, now devours stir-fried vegetables and roasted whole lamb, we can get a glimpse of the true dietary standards of this era.

"This new seasoning was also cultivated by you using the 'medicinal seeds' from my place?" The medicine ghost asked, holding a leg of lamb in one hand and his eyes were quickly attracted to the pepper in the bowl.

"That's right!"

"Hmph~~ I can see why you are interested in planting. I think you have been doing it to satisfy your appetite from the beginning!"

Mr. Mo: "·······"

Ah, this truth really left him unable to refute for a while.

······

A banquet was enjoyed by the guests and the host.

After eating and drinking, everyone got down to business.

Mo Jun first took out a mass-produced sample of the 'new knife-creating medicine' and handed it to the drug ghost, and then took out the prescription for the side medicine.

As for the method of making the core main medicine, this already involves the empire's secrets. Unless Yao Gui is willing to be loyal to the Qin State, it is impossible to hand over the method of making the main medicine to him.

The medicine ghost first glanced at the prescription for the side medicine, then threw it aside and said:

"What rubbish?"

Then he picked up the drug sample, pinched it on his fingertips, took some more and tasted it, and used some special internal power, as if to sense its medicinal properties.

After a while.

Yao Gui slowly opened his eyes, and a bright light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"This medicine is quite interesting, especially the main medicine... Boy, did you create this main medicine?"

"good!"

Mo Jun nodded honestly.

Seeing Mr. Mo's admission, Yao Gui's face gradually showed a strange and strange expression, and said: "I didn't expect that your medical skills are not very good. There are quite a lot of strange things on your body."
