Return to the great era of China's eternal emperor, the Qin Dynasty, and change the established history.
Chapter 14: Make a small contribution to fame

Hei's husband's family and Lizheng make an enemy. It started seven years ago when his eldest brother was longing to marry a woman from a neighboring village whom Lizheng's son took a fancy to ...
However, now is not the time to worry about the family. The two of them didn't eat in the morning. They were hungry for half a day, and their bellies were already hungry. After walking through a crossroads, Ji Ying's eyes lit up and pointed to the front, "Here comes the restaurant!"
Restaurants are places for passers-by to eat and rest. Anlu County is a major transportation route between the north and the south, with frequent vehicle and boat exchanges. Although there are post stations and guest houses outside the city, restaurants are also essential in the city.
However, this restaurant is a little humble, with a white wall on the top, a cloth flag with the word "food" hanging listlessly on a pole, and there are several wooden cases in the restaurant, which are not even painted. There are rough straw mats beside the cases, and there are only five or six people who eat.
"On the New Year's Day, everyone went home for a reunion. Only the servants and Hong merchants who really can't help it will make do here ..."
Ji Ying is still angry. He has served in Anlu County twice and is familiar with it, so he invited Heifu to drill into the restaurant, knelt on a few straw mats near the door, slapped a wooden case, and shouted, "Shopkeeper, can there be millet cakes?"
The owner of this restaurant is a middle-aged man with turmeric complexion. When he hears the cry, he comes slowly.
Because the national conditions of Qin are special, whether it's anti-travel or restaurants, the two major industries of food and accommodation are arranged by the government, so the owner's enthusiasm for greeting guests is not high. It's like public hotels in the period of Wen and Ge. Have you ever seen any waiter who will earn money for the public with a big smile?
Seeing that Ji Ying is only a small scholar, and Heifu is just a mere male scholar, the store owner suddenly showed contempt and said coldly, "There is millet, but the price ..."
He looked the two of them up and down, pointed to each other, and watched them wear brown clothes and step on sandals, unlike the rich, especially to cheat on food and drink.
Ji Ying is waiting for him to ask this question! Immediately laughed: "Why, are you afraid that we won't give money after eating?" As he spoke, he opened the wallet in his hand, and put a bunch of half-and-a-half dollars into the case for a beat! Crackling!
The shopkeeper was slightly surprised when he saw that there were thousands of pieces of money. He even looked suspicious and said, "Where did you get this money?" If Ji Ying faltered out, he was already going to report to the official for rape!
"Shopkeeper, rest assured, this money is just right!"
Ji Ying stood up and said loudly, "We caught the thief, and we just received the reward at Guansi!"
He shouted it out on purpose, as if he wanted all the diners in the store to hear it.
Sure enough, a few guests in the store looked to this side when they heard this and began to point fingers at the two of them.
Slightly surprised, the shopkeeper looked Ji Ying, a pencil-necked man, up and down: "Are you the black man who fought the thief with one enemy against three?"
This whole thing got out?
Ji Ying quickly shook his head and pointed to Heifu, saying, "How can I do this? Heifu is this male scholar!"
Shopkeeper was amazed, bowing to Heifu, saying, "These days, this story has been circulating inside and outside Anlu County, saying that you are eight feet tall, and you have a knack for subduing thieves with your bare hands, such as catching a three-year-old baby, and you don't want to see a strong man today. Sure enough, you have a strong physique and a good appearance!"
"What a strong man!"
Several diners in the restaurant also clapped their hands and cheered up. Heifu had to smile awkwardly and salute them.
"I just did what I had to do. It's not worth mentioning. It's not worth mentioning."
"Words can't be said that." Suddenly, the shopkeeper became warm and said with a smile, "We Qin people are the most dedicated to meritorious service. Please wait a moment, and I'll cook millet paste myself and add more meat to satisfy the warriors!"
The owner's change from arrogance to arrogance caught Heifu off guard, and it was not because of his new male scholar title, but his heartfelt admiration for him.
But it's right to think about it. People in this era have great admiration for warriors, not to mention Yu Rang, Nie Zheng and other chivalrous assassins revered by the world. They say that in Anlu County, the young people admire most is a "tiger-fighting hero" in Yunmeng Township, which is famous for shooting a tiger in the mountains.
If I think about it, it's a miracle that he caught three thieves with one hand, and grabbed a white blade with an empty hand. It can really make people in the county talk about it for a long time.
Ji Chao Heifu smiled, that means nothing more than, how about brother, I'll help you make your name ...
Black shook his head helplessly. In fact, he also understood that people in this era, regardless of their status, pursue nothing more than two things in life, one is wealth and the other is fame. In the eyes of rural farmers like Ji Ying, if you have fame, you have to speak out and enjoy the feeling of being highly praised.
But today's Heifu, who only makes small contributions, has a small reputation. It can be boasted in this small county, but it can be put in the background of the whole era of "Six Kings Never put off till tomorrow what you can, one world is the only one". What is it?
His vision is different from that of Ji Ying and others, and his ideas are naturally different.
While waiting for the food, Heifu has been wondering what "millet" is. He is too embarrassed to ask, for fear of making another joke about not knowing that the first day of October is Chinese New Year. It can only be understood literally.
After peeling millet, northerners call it yellow rice, or soft rice; It's meat soup. Millet paste, it should be meat porridge cooked with yellow rice and meat.
After things were served, it was so. The shopkeeper didn't break his word, and a lot of fleshy pieces were added to the steaming meat porridge, which greatly increased Ji Ying's appetite, but Heifu shook his head after tasting it.
Accustomed to all kinds of delicious food in later generations, he always feels tasteless about the rough food in this era. And inside this meat porridge, there is a suspicious piece of meat, whether it is pork or dog meat, and there is a fishy smell that makes him nauseous. Just to eat, and not to embarrass the shopkeeper who was watching them eagerly, I had to swallow and praise the delicious food ...
After returning to this era, there are three things that Heifu is most difficult to adapt to besides language.
First, there is no underwear under the crotch, and the wind blows the butt. When you sit with your legs apart, you will accidentally reveal the black weapon below. Don't mention how embarrassing it is. Otherwise, why do you think people in this era should kneel with their legs together?
Second, there are only one or two pieces of clothes all the year round, and there is no way to change them often. After a long time, no matter others or themselves, there is an unpleasant smell of sweat. You know, the productivity is low these days, and clothes are not cheap. When people die, they even write better clothes as real estate into their suicide notes ...
Third, this is the food.
"If only I could eat a bowl of rice noodles or steamed buns."
Black, so thinking, licked his lips.
But he knows it's just a pipe dream. Although this era mill has appeared in the north, it seems that it hasn't reached Nanjun, which is embarrassing. At present, the main way to remove chaff in the state of Qin is thrashing, and there is also a kind of torture specially set up for criminal women, also called thrashing. You can imagine how tiring this work is.
"When I get home from the service, I have money and leisure, so I have to try to find something that can satisfy my appetite." Husband is black for no other reason, only for his five zang-organs temple.
Ji Ying was very satisfied, gorging on pottery bowls, gulping millet and chewing the greasy fat. In this era, poverty limits everyone's imagination. In the eyes of ordinary people, a rich life means being able to eat fat (cream) and polished rice (beam).
So, Heifu looks back at his past life of more than 20 years. Although he was a diaosi, he was already a "talented child" in the Warring States and Qin Dynasties.
Of course, with meat, how can you get less wine?
Ji Ying sighed while eating, "I wish there was millet wine. People are not allowed to gather for drinking on weekdays. In previous years, I only looked forward to Zhengdan and La Worship, and I could have a drink with the township party members, but now ..."
The wine that Qin people drink during the Spring Festival is also made of millet, which is called millet wine. But as far as Heifu knows, people don't have a chance to drink it on weekdays, because the prohibition of alcohol in the state of Qin is so strict that it's unprecedented and unprecedented!
Since Shang Yang's time, because wine-making wastes food, people are easy to make bold troubles after drinking, so Qin deliberately raised the price of wine ten times! It is equivalent to imposing heavy taxes on tobacco and alcohol in later generations. In this way, in Anlu County, only officials or wealthy families can afford to drink.
Even restaurants are not allowed to sell wine. Otherwise, why do you think that wine shops and restaurants in other countries have become "restaurants" in the state of Qin? It's very simple. This place doesn't sell alcohol!
You might say, isn't it rice wine? What's so difficult about brewing by farmers themselves?
However, Shang Yang had long considered this point, and the state of Qin expressly stipulated in Tian Law that "people who live in Tian She should not dare to drink wine, and Tian Sefu and Bu Zuo would like to forbid it, and those who do not obey it will be guilty!"
So people can only sneak around if they want to have a drink, for fear of being reported. As for the public drinking in the lobby, only the first day of October and La Worship are allowed in these two days. For the Chinese New Year, people have to be happy.
Heifu is not interested in millet wine as light as a drink, but he can shrug off it with a smile.
Just then, he suddenly heard a pair of people who looked like businessmen talking about things behind him.
"People from Guanzhong said that the king had sent out a campaign and sent troops to cut swallows!"
Hearing these keywords, Heifu's ears pricked up!
