Chapter 673 Advance
“Let the meat sit inside for a while until it’s cooked before eating it.”
Feng Yong gave another order.
Although many people cook mutton for the umami taste, Feng Yong would rather wait until it is cooked before eating it.
Otherwise, in future generations, we can have surgery to treat parasites or bacilli, but there is no such treatment in this era.
Maybe Hua Tuo could cure it, but Hua Tuo's apprentice obviously didn't have this medical skill.
Zhang Xingyi put it in for a while obediently, and then asked carefully, "Are you ready?"
“Okay, dip the meat in the juice and have a taste.”
Feng Yong watched Zhang Xingyi put the meat into his mouth and asked, "How is it? Does it taste good?"
Zhang Xingyi did not answer. After swallowing, he picked up a piece of meat and put it into the hot pot. "I'll try another piece later."
Looking at her, she was able to rinse several pieces of meat in a row. Her eyes turned into crescent moons. Only then did they realize that they had been tricked by her.
Just as Guan Ji was about to move the chopsticks, Feng Yong had already put a piece of cooked meat in the bowl in front of her, "Xijun, please try it quickly."
Then someone kicked me under the table.
After sitting up straight, I took the opportunity to glance at the opposite side. I saw that the crescent moon had been turned into almond-shaped eyes, and the little cheeks were bulging. I don’t know how much meat was stuffed in the mouth.
Looking very dissatisfied with being shown affection.
“Ahem, Siniang, you can also try this red oil soup. This is red oil boiled with prickly pear, which can ward off the cold. Mutton is also a warming and tonic food. It’s just right to eat the two together.”
Feng Yong coughed dryly and said.
“No, I just like this clear soup.”
Zhang Xingyi snorted, then took a few pieces of meat and put them into the clear soup pot as if to demonstrate.
Guan Ji smiled at the side and said, "This family banquet is originally prepared for Si Niang. You can eat whatever you like and leave your brother-in-law alone."
As she said this, she was not slow on her hands and put the meat into the red oil soup.
Feng Yong was annoyed and told Amei, "Go and get me a bowl of rice."
One disadvantage of eating hot pot is that without staple food, I always feel weak and unable to resist hunger.
out out out out of concern for us
Even though Li Mu remained silent, it was obvious that the red oil soup was very suitable to her taste. Except for the first time when she put the meat in the clear soup pot and rinsed it, the rest was all red oil soup.
She is indeed an authentic Sichuan girl.
Feng Yong ate quickly. He finished the rice in three naps and rinsed a large plate of mutton. He stood up and said, "Eat slowly."
Although the three women seemed to enjoy their meal, they were worried about Feng Yong's presence, especially Li Mu. When eating, they always covered their mouths with their hands and ate in small bites, pretending to be ladies.
Unexpectedly, he chewed very fast, and his chopsticks were not slow at all.
Seeing that Feng Yong was worried for her.
He called Amei to follow him out, returned to the backyard, and then said to her, "There are two hot pots that have been washed in the kitchen. Take them to your room to light the fire."
"You can see what I did before. You can eat whatever you want." He burped and patted his belly. "Madam, you don't need to wait on me."
Seeing that she was still hesitant, he urged, "Go, what are you still doing?"
Amei whispered, "But my lord, that is made of gold. How can your servant dare to use such an object?"
"Gold, what is gold? Copper is copper, why should we give it back to gold?" Feng Yongyong waved his hand impatiently, "Do you still lack some copper at home? Go quickly, I'm very annoyed!"
I drove Amei away and returned to the house. As soon as I sat on the kang, I felt very warm. When it is warm in winter, I just want to doze off. When I doze off, I want to sleep...
I didn’t know how long I had been squinting while I was half-lying, but I felt like someone climbed onto the kang. It should be Guan Ji.
He was sleeping soundly and didn't bother to open his eyes. He muttered, "Have you finished eating?"
Before the visitor could answer, a fragrant wind smelling of hot pot had already hit his nostrils.
It’s just that this smell doesn’t seem right?
Feng Yong sniffed again and heard someone say softly, "Well, I have never eaten food like this before, so I am a little stuffed. Thank you Alang."
“What are you thanking me for? This is for Siniang…”
At this point, the confusion in my mind finally disappeared, and I finally realized what was wrong.
Feng Yong got up with a start and shrank into the kang, "Siniang, why are you up here?"
“Seeing that Alang was sleeping soundly and there was nothing to cover him with, I wanted to cover Alang with a blanket.”
Zhang Xingyi raised the blanket in his hand and prepared to move it over.
Feng Yong glanced at the door, sweating on his forehead, "Sister, please don't make trouble. The door is open. If Sanniang comes in and sees you, you will be in trouble."
"What are you afraid of?" Zhang Xingyi forced him into a corner and licked his lips, "My sister is still talking to Li Mu in the front yard. Will she be back soon?"
Seeing that Feng Yong was still talking, Zhang Xingyi's face darkened, "You're not a coward, if you do this again, I'll shout!"
Shout?
Sweat has begun to flow from Feng Yong's forehead.
“Amei is in the room next to her!”
“Hmph, give her ten courages, how dare she say nonsense?” Zhang Xingyi said without fear, “Don’t be verbose! Just for a moment!”
Feng Yong did not dare to move again.
Then my heart is filled with the smell of hot pot.
After being gentle for a while, Zhang Xingyi said quietly, "I also know Alang's difficulties, and sometimes I don't want to let him go. It's just that I can't do it!"
At this point, she turned around and bit Feng Yong **** the arm.
Severe pain was felt, and Feng Yong did not dare to say a word.
“Does it hurt?”
“It hurts?”
“It’s okay if it hurts, and I feel the same pain in my heart.”
Zhang Xingyi shrank and said, "But every time I think of A Lang's feelings for me, I feel that the pain is worth it. A Lang, I want to..."
Feng Yong trembled and glanced at the door subconsciously.
“I want the secret hotpot recipe that Alang specially made for me.”
“Okay, I’ll write to you right now.”
Zhang Xingyi was not ignorant of the importance. Knowing that Sister Guan would come back at any time, she reluctantly got off the kang and laid out the paper for Feng Yong with her own hands.
The process of hot pot is not complicated and can be written clearly in three or two strokes.
Zhang Xingyi folded the paper, put it in his arms, and said softly, "Thank you A Lang, but I will definitely keep it carefully if A Lang gives me anything."
“It’s not a secret.”
Feng Yong felt that she was making a fuss out of a molehill.
“Of course this hot pot is not something kept secret, but what about the peach blossom poem? Doesn’t Alang want to keep it secret too?”
Zhang Xingyi’s eyes were even more tender.
“What peach blossom poem?”
Feng Yong thought about it for a long time, but couldn't remember that he had written any peach blossom poems. He thought to himself, maybe someone used my name to write some articles?
Zhang Xingyi came over again and said softly, "Last year on this day, in this door, the peach blossoms on the faces reflected each other's red color. I don't know where the faces are, but the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze."
When Feng Yong heard this, he was suddenly shocked with the body of a tiger, the body of a dolphin, and the body of a dog!
“How does Si...Si Niang know this poem?”
Then Feng Yong remembered a strange incident that year.
When I went to the Qin Mansion, I happened to meet Du Zhen. The guy didn't even say hello to me, but just covered his face and ran away.
It turns out that the root cause is here.
Zhang Xingyi did not answer, but continued to say, "I was not born before you were born, but you are already old after you were born..."
The dog’s body is shaking again!
Ma Dazui, I shouldn’t have saved you!
I finally know the answer to why Si Niang is so affectionate towards me.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps was heard outside. Guan Ji hurriedly walked in. When she saw the two of them in the room, she was stunned and her face became a little weird.
"Sister, I'm asking my brother-in-law for the secret recipe of hot pot." Zhang Xingyi raised the paper in his hand and smiled, "From now on, there will be no cows falling to death on the ranch in Hanzhong."
Guan Ji's face relaxed and she said with a smile, "Don't do more evil. There are many sheep in the pasture, so it's good to eat mutton."
She said this to Zhang Xingyi, and then immediately said to Feng Yong, "Alang, go to the front hall quickly, Uncle Zhao is here."
"Uncle Zhao?" Feng Yong's first reaction was the old housekeeper who stayed at Jincheng Zhuangzi, "I didn't ask him to come over! Did something happen to Zhuangzi?"
“It’s Old General Zhao!”
Feng Yong was startled and hurriedly walked out, "Why did General Zhao come suddenly? And no one came to notify him in advance!"
“Put on this coat first, it’s cold outside.”
Guan Ji caught up behind him, and while putting on Feng Yong's coat, she said, "It doesn't look like Uncle Zhao is in a hurry, he just came over suddenly for some reason."
Back to the hall in the front yard, I saw Mr. Zhao sitting in front of the table with a golden knife, and Li Mu was waiting carefully, helping to pour the whole plate of meat into the hot pot.
It seems that the table has been cleaned up, and a table has been rearranged specifically for the old man.
Mr. Zhao didn’t even look at Feng Yong. He just stared at the steaming hot pot and said, “Coming?”
As if he is the master here.
Before Feng Yong could answer, the old man ordered Li Mu again, "Go get some more meat. This is not enough to stuff your teeth."
Li Mu didn't dare to neglect and trotted out quickly to prepare.
“Sit down, what are you doing standing there?”
Zhao Yun pointed to the chair next to him.
“Oh, okay, sit down.”
Feng Yong finally came to his senses and sat down next to Zhao Yun.
Li Mu came back soon, holding a big basin with meat tips sticking out in his hand, and complimented him, "In ancient times, Lian Po could still eat a bucket of rice and ten kilograms of meat when he was old, and he wore armor and mounted a horse."
“The old general is so powerful that his food is not inferior to that of Lianpo. He galloped from Jicheng to Pingxiang, but he did not look tired. He is even better than Lianpo.”
Zhao Yun laughed and pointed at Li Mu, "I know you. Are you that so-and-so from Nanxiang?"
“I am from the Li family, and my single name is Mu.”
Li Mu is very knowledgeable.
“Yes, it’s that Nanxiang Lady Mu!”
Zhao Yun kept laughing, "She is a heroine who even men feel inferior to. It's not simple!"
“Thank you, old general, for your compliment.”
Li Mu had a humble smile on his face, feeling slightly blessed.
Zhao Yun turned around and glanced at Feng Yong, "You really have a good eye!"
ah? What does it mean?
Feng Yong looked at Li Mu subconsciously, and happened to meet Li Mu's gaze looking over.
Her face turned slightly red and she lowered her head in shame.
"Sir...cough, old general, this..."
“Okay, okay, why don’t I just say a few words to your wife Ru? Look at you, you look so worthless!”
"You and Erlang are biological brothers. As the elder, is this considered rude?"
Zhao Yun interrupted Feng Yong angrily and waved to Li Mu, "Okay, let's get down. I'll do it myself."
Li Mufu glanced at Feng Yong shyly, then turned and left.
You should explain it, this is related to your reputation!
Feng Yong watched helplessly as Li Mu walked out.
Zhao Yun picked up the cooked meat from the pot, dipped it in the bowl, and swallowed nearly half the bowl of meat. Then he exhaled with satisfaction and nodded, "You really know how to enjoy yourself."
“Eat well, use it well, even if you choose a wife, she will be a top person.”
The old man raised his thumb in an ungrateful manner and praised.
“Old general, she is not my wife.”
Feng Yong feebly tried to defend himself.
"Go away! It's okay to deceive others with this kind of talk, but you can also use it to deceive me?" Zhao Yun glanced at Feng Yong with disdain, "Do you think I am blind?"
"If it's not Mrs. Ru of your family, then she is a maid? This is too much. This woman is no better than an ordinary woman. She is not worthy of the main wife, but she should be given the title of concubine first, otherwise it will be too cold to others' hearts. ”
Mr. Zhao taught her a lesson in a serious manner, "If you make great achievements in the future, maybe you can give her the status of a concubine, so that you can live up to being helped to manage such a large property for you."
“Okay, okay, the old general is right.”
Feng Yong dared not say anything about the old man's interference in his backyard, "But I don't know if the old general came suddenly this time. What's the emergency?"
Speaking of business, Zhao Yun's face straightened up, and then he cooked a lot of mutton, and then asked, "Didn't the Prime Minister ask you to write a letter to Li Feng? Have you written it?"
"It's been written, but I haven't had time to send it out yet."
Feng Yong was shocked. Before he had time to figure out how the old man knew about this, he had to explain it first.
“Leave it to me when the time comes, and I’ll deliver it to you.”
Zhao Yun slurped down another large bowl of meat and sighed, "It's a pity that there is no wine."
Can you speak well?
Feng Yong was full of complaints. The old guy's sudden visit this time was obviously related to Li Yan's incident.
He had no choice but to get up, go outside and bring back a jar of mead, and also told Guan Ji to keep everyone away from the hall.
"You just don't have the eyesight of Mrs. Ru of yours. You won't come up with anything good until I tell you."
Zhao Yun's eyes lit up when he saw the wine jar. He grabbed it and took a big sip before he burped and said, "This wine is good!"
“Old General, let’s talk about business, business.”
If I can't beat this old man, I really want to pick him up and interrogate him.
"Okay, let's get down to business." Zhao Yun took another big bite and then said, "The Qiang Hu over there in Longxi may be in trouble this winter, and I need you, the captain of the Qiang Protector, to make a personal trip."
Feng Yong was startled, "Qiang Hu from Longxi?"
Of the four counties of Longyou, the Qiang and Hu in three counties have been suppressed and pacified. Only Longxi is because the area is too large and the Han only controls the east.
So Feng Yong planned to leave the Qiang and Hu in Longxi until next year to solve the problem, but he did not expect that a problem would arise at this time.
"Yes." Zhao Yun nodded, "I got news that not only is there a drought in Longyou this year, but there is also a severe drought in Liangzhou. The Qianghu in Liangzhou are having a hard time this winter."
Feng Yong frowned, feeling a little regretful, "I was negligent. I should have thought of this a long time ago."
The ancients didn’t know what low pressure and moist air coming from the sea meant. Don’t they still know the source of rainfall in Liangzhou?
At this point, I was indeed careless.
While he was thinking, he saw Zhao Yun take out another thing from his arms and hand it over, "I signed it before going to Longxi."
Feng Yong opened it inexplicably and took a deep breath on the spot.
He looked at the door, then lowered his voice and said, "Impeach Li Yanshu?"
"at the end."
Zhao Yun pointed out.
Feng Yong's eyes fell to the end, and he saw the names of Zhao Yun, Deng Zhi, and Ma Dai on it.
“I originally wanted you to deliver the letter to Li Feng first, and then come to find you, but something like this happened in Longxi, so I had to let you know in advance.”
Zhao Yun took another sip of wine, as if he was saying something very ordinary, "Longxi is too far away, and it's too cold in winter. I won't be too lazy to run there to look for you."
"Originally, you are not qualified to sign this, but because you wrote a letter to persuade Li Feng, so according to the Prime Minister's wish, you are also allowed to sign."
Zhao Yun glanced at Feng Yong, slightly surprised, "You can actually keep your composure."
What do you know?
My fourth mother has already analyzed this with me.
