    ,

    Izumo Shrine has not been having a good time recently, mainly because Abe's family suddenly cut off the supply.

    In order to create a sense of mystery, the Izumo Shrine naturally had to be built in the deep mountains, and the main supplies were all from the family Abe.

    Then recently, the support suddenly disappeared, and they received the news thatthe main family is at war with the Yuan family.

    ? Then came a series of bad news. The Abe family was defeated by the Yuan family, lost their helmets and armor, and a large area of ??land changed hands in a short period of time.

    The people at the Izumo Shrine originally thought that they were located in a remote mountain, and the Minamoto family would not be interested in them. As a result they didn't feel at ease for a few days, and the army surrounded the foot of the mountain.

    In fact, it is not considered a large army, at most no more than 2,000 people, but here in Dongying, such a force is already a real large army.

    In previous wars, when the total strength of both sides combined exceeded one thousand, it was already a large-scale war.  Under such a concept, how could the people of the Izumo Shrine, seeing the troops of more than a thousand people surrounding the foot of the mountain, be as good as facing the enemy and panicking.

    In the main hall of the shrine, Shota Izumo sat kneeling in a circle with the backbone of the shrine, gloomy.

    "The foot of the mountain has been besieged by the Genji thieves." Shota Izumo was wearing a white safari, and he looked quite handsome, but his appearance was already aging: "The exit where the secret path is also happens to be within their encirclement.  "

    As a large society with a history of hundreds of years, they naturally took emergency measures to avoid danger.

    It's just that this method is aimed at small battles. The encirclement circle of this army is too large, directly blocking all the secret passages.

    He continued depressedly: "Thanks to the God of the Great Country, although we have some divine power, we can use it to deal with the village women, but we can't deal with the army. Originally, I planned to let the witches leave from the secret path, but now oh  .¡±

    Maidens serve the gods, and they cannot have affairs with mortals before taking off their maiden clothes. If they really want to get married, it is also internally digested.

    But once these soldiers came, after breaking through the shrine, they didn't care whether you were a witch or not, they grabbed them and dragged them into the grass.

    If such a situation really occurs, for Izumo Shrine, it is not a simple matter of humiliation.

    Fortunately, his two daughters, Izumo Akuni and Izumo Mariko both left the shrine.

    Although this idea is a bit despicable, it is a kind of real joy in the heart of Izumo Shota, the father.

    Other shrine maidens are also very important to the shrine, but there is always a difference between closeness and distance.

    "Why don't we fight them, we will die anyway."

    "We can't force it, we can't break the inheritance of the shrine."

    "Hey, I hope the God of the Great Country will bless us."

    "This is the trial of the Lord God of the Great Country."

    "Izumo Gongji, you make the next decision. Whether to fight or surrender, you have the final say. After all, you are the incarnation of the god."

    A group of key members discussed for a meeting, and finally put the decision-making power in the hands of Izumo Shota.

    After all, the more it is like this, the more the backbone is needed.

    "Let's fight." Izumo Shota said calmly: "It is better to die in battle than to be insulted. The Abe family and the Minamoto family are already immortal. There is no reason for us to have a chance of being spared."

    When everyone heard this, they agreed, but also felt a little sad.

    Who wants to die if they can live, if they can save some dignity for them to live?

    Several backbones also stood up, ready to mobilize all the staff in the shrine to fight to the death.

    But at this moment, a little witch ran in in surprise, flustered, and even stumbled with her left foot and fell over with her right foot after entering.

    After Park made a sound, the little witch sat up in pain, looking a little aggrieved.

    The people around had already seen the strangeness, and Shota Izumo asked, "Qingzi, why are you running in such a hurry?"

    "Sister Ah Guo and Sister Mariko are back." The little witch jumped up and shouted happily: "I also brought back two very powerful shikigami."

    When everyone heard this, they were silent for a while, and then burst out laughing, thinking that Qingzi was extremely cute.

    God formula?

    In this era when the spells of both humans and gods have faded, shikigami have long since become legends.

    Almost all of them, the priests of the Izumo Shrine, also practice the spells of Onmyoji. After all, the family is the Abe family, so they have this condition.

    So they are very clear that no one can drive shikigami now, and their weak mana can barely be used to fool villagers and peasants.

    However, Shota Izumo?There has been a great improvement, and as one of the outstanding culinary skills and the pioneer of certain dishes, Su Shi is even more proficient in using spices.

    "This is my original Su Family Thirteen Fragrances. You are the first person to taste it, Master Lu."

    Lu Sen couldn't help curling his lips when he heard it. He seemed to have heard the name somewhere before.

    After Su Shi brought out several dishes, Lu Sen looked at them for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Are they all pork?"

    "Yes, try it, I think it tastes good."

    Under Su Shi's expectant eyes, Lu Sen picked up a piece of spare ribs and put it in his mouth. After eating, he nodded: "Not bad, good taste."

    "There are a few of these two." Su Shi's expression at this time was even a little flattering: "Try all of them."

    Lu Sen was a little strange. Su Shi was not the kind of person who loves to flatter Shangguan, but he didn't care too much. He continued to taste the remaining pork dishes, and then said: "The taste is good, I can see that you cook  Very carefully."

    "All delicious?" Su Shi asked expectantly with his eyes wide open.

    Lu Sen nodded.

    It's really good, with enough spices to taste, although the meat is a little tough, but the taste is really good, but it's not suitable for the elderly.

    "That's great."

    Su Shi yelled, slammed the table, and then took out a pen and ink from the side, and immediately began to dance around.

    "Early Winter and Banxian Eating Pig Minced Quatrains".

    Lu Sen was a little strange at first, but when he saw the beginning of the sentence, he found that the paper had been put away by Su Shi, folded and put it in his clothes.

    He couldn't help being curious: "What are you planning to do?"

    "Really Lu said it was good to eat pork, so I have to write it down anyway." Su Shi said with a simple smile: "As long as this word comes out, the price of pork will definitely increase in the future."

    Lu Sen thought for a while and understood: "Oh, you want to give farmers a way out?"

    "As expected of Master Lu, you can see clearly." Su Shi expressed admiration.

    Pork at this time is extremely cheap, not the kind of cheap that can be consumed by ordinary people, but cheap that is completely worthless.

    Not to mention rich people, but anyone with a little money would disdain to eat this stuff.

    In many cases, the pork raised by farmers or the wild boars hunted cannot be sold at all, and they have to rot in their hands, and they have to throw them away if they can't finish eating.

    As for making bacon?

    For poor people, salt is a 'precious commodity', and they can't eat a few grains usually, so it is absolutely not worthwhile to use it to marinate pork.

    As for other processing methods such as air-drying and smoking, they are not within the grasp of ordinary farmers.

    The cheapness of pork is that the dignitaries in the entire Central Plains don't like to eat pigs.  It works from top to bottom, so naturally the whole society doesn't like to eat pork.

    Su Shi's purpose is very simple, to use Lu Sen's fame to forcibly push up the price of pork.

    In this way, besides raising chickens, ducks and sheep, farmers may have another way to make money.  Pigs are very easy to feed, and they can increase their meat by picking some weeds in the fields.

    Using himself like this Lu Sen didn't feel angry at all, because he thought pork was delicious.

    Although mutton and beef are more delicious.

    Lu Sen took another piece of ribs and put it in his mouth, and asked while eating, "You invited me here not just for the pork, right? Is there anything else, I have to go to Dingzhou after eating.  "

    "I really envy this kind of fairy, who flies around, and the south of the Yangtze River and the north are like the front yard and the backyard." After sighing, Su Shi said: "A while ago, two groups of foreign envoys came to Hangzhou, and one group was from Korea.  , another group claiming to be Jiluo people."

    "What does this have to do with me?" Lu Sen was a little surprised.

    "Why has nothing to do with you!" Su Shi's tone was strange: "Realist Lu, Lu Longtu, Lu ShilangDon't forget, you are still the Minister of Rites."

    Lu Sen remembered that he has real power and is in charge of monks, nuns and Taoists all over the world.

    The position was also promoted from the original Hubu Langzhong to Hubu Shilang. It stands to reason that he is indeed qualified to manage these foreign envoys.

    It's just that he didn't take these titles and positions seriously, and he forgot them over time.

    Su Shi's fat face was full of disbelief: "No way, you actually forgot your official position?"

    Lu Sen laughed dryly, and then said: "Then you should also know that I don't care about this."

    "I know you don't care." Su Shi admired Lu Sen's indifferent fame and fortune: "It's just that I find it strange that these two groups of people don't seem right."

    "How do you say it?"

    "They all said that they had the certificates of envoys, and they were official envoys." Su Shi thought for a while and said, "But I see their appearance, rough skin and rough temperament, they are more like sailors than envoys.  "

    Lu Sen raised his brows slightly, and he vaguely remembered that before he had traveled through time, he had heard that many foreign missions who came to pay tribute to the Central Plains in ancient times were actually fake.

    Some people even help outsiders fake it.

    It is to defraud the court of a high amount of 'return gift'.?A statement?  "
