Chapter 17 Double Happiness Comes to the Door
I saw that the originally black oil in the black iron pot was much clearer at this time, but there seemed to be many black things rolling back and forth inside.
Tao Jin didn't care about anything else at this time, but just watched the oil he refined. The oil temperature was very high at this time, and Tao Jin did not dare to tie the white cotton cloth directly on the pot. He had to take a pottery basin, cover the white cotton cloth on the pottery basin, and then gently took the oil pan and poured it down towards the white cloth.
The oil slowly seeped through the white cloth. The white cotton cloth gradually became dark, and it seemed that a thick layer of viscous substance was formed on it. The oil gradually couldn't penetrate and was absorbed on the white cloth.
Seeing this, Tao Jin hurriedly replaced the black white cloth, changed it to another piece of fresh white cloth, and continued to pour the remaining oil on it. After changing the white cloth three times, the oil in the pan was all over with the white cloth, but at this time there was only about half a bowl left.
Seeing that the oil was a little cold, Tao Jin hurriedly approached the pottery basin, dipped it in a little oil with his hands, and smelled it close to his nose, and then tasted it with his mouth.
The smell was obviously less, but the oil was still a little mixed. Tao Jin frowned and poured the filtered oil into the iron pot again.
Yuanbao has been picking up buns just now, and now he is staring at Tao Jin and Yuchi Gong in a daze. He is always stunned, as if he is looking at a fool.
Yuchi Gong looked at it for a long time, frowned and said, "Brother Tao Jin, this thing cannot be eaten, but you will get sick if you eat it!" Yuchi Gong's words were a reminder. Tao Jin smiled and said nothing.
Because he planned to tell them with facts. When Yuanbao saw Yuchi Gong's words, he did not ask Tao Jin to stop his actions. He was afraid that Yuchi Gong and Tao Jin had just had a relationship, so he smoothed out and said, "Brother Yuchi, do you want to eat a few more hot buns?" Yuanbao looked at Yuchi Gong enthusiastically and asked.
Yuchi Gong didn't care whether Tao Jin listened to him, but just waved his hand and said that he didn't want to eat it. However, he sighed in his heart: No matter how delicious the food is, it can't be resisted. You can eat it for me every day!
Seeing Yuchi Gong's attitude, Yuanbao knew in his heart that he had eaten enough of the buns in the past few days. He couldn't help but blush and asked, "Brother Yuchi, have you eaten enough?"
Yuchi Gong is a honest man. When he heard Yuanbao ask, he felt a little embarrassed. However, Tao Jin looked at his oil-boiled pot and said, "If you can eat buns during a war, it will be much easier than what you eat!"
Yuchi Gong's eyes lit up and he said, "Brother Tao Jin is right. If there are buns when marching urgently, it will be better than other dry food and will not choke easily." Speaking of this, Yuchi Gong stopped talking again. Tao Jin understood that he missed the military camp that belonged to him.
Although Tao Jin had never been a soldier, many of his friends were next to him. They said what soldier was, the person they would think of when they left the military camp. They were the place where they felt resentful when they went and felt ache when they left.
Seeing Yuchi Gong with a lonely face, Tao Jin understood that his heart must have hurt. Tao Jin couldn't help but say to Yuchi Gong: "Does Brother Yuchi miss the military camp?"
Yuchi Gong put away his emotions and said curiously: "Why do you say that I miss the military camp, not my general position?" Yuchi Gong's words were quite self-deprecating, but Tao Jin still heard the pain in his heart.
"Because someone I knew before said: What is a military camp? It is something that makes people complain when they enter, but it makes people feel pain when they leave! He didn't tell me who missed an official position. I think that those who can go to battle to kill enemies are for the peace of the people. They are fighting for their lives. It is an insult to say that they are just fighting for their official position. If they insist on being for the official position, then the first thing they are for the peace of the world, and the second thing they are for the success of their achievements!"
Yuchi Gong listened to what Tao Jin said, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, and his voice was hoarse: "Brother, just say this to you. I, Yuchi Gong, are willing to be brothers with you for the rest of my life!"
Although Tao Jin was inspired, he was overjoyed when he heard Yuchi Gong's words and couldn't help but say, "So, Brother Yuchi is willing to join me?"
"I have a rare confidant in life, I have this intention!" Yuchi Gong walked to Tao Jin, patted his shoulder and laughed.
Yuanbao was stunned when he looked at it, but this still did not affect his joy. He said happily: "Then I'll prepare something!"
Tao Jin was afraid of the long night and dreams, and smiled and said, "Brother Yuchi and I are both people with temperament. There are so many common etiquettes there. Isn't it enough to have this world to prove it?"
After hearing this, Yuchi Gong felt more and more that Tao Jin had his appetite, and said, "It's exactly this!" His heroic demeanor undoubtedly revealed the demeanor of the general in the past.
Although it was simple, in the end, an incense burner was set up in the yard. Tao Jin and Yuchi Gong bowed to the heaven and earth, made a promise, willing to share honor and disgrace in this life, and be brothers of life and death!
After the worship, Yuchi Gong pulled Tao Jin and said, "I will be a brother for a few years if I am older than you!"
Tao Jin nodded and smiled and said, "This is natural. Even if you don't mention it, you will say it too!" The two of them were closer than they were in a good relationship. Tao Jin also felt a little excited because he knew that Yuchi Gong was his stable backer in the future.
Suddenly, Tao Jin heard the squeaking sound, remembering the pot that was still boiling oil, and hurriedly ran in. The pot that was boiling oil started again, but this time there was no smell coming out.
Tao Jin looked carefully at the oil in the pot and was secretly happy. The oil had already become clearer from the moment, so how could Tao Jin not be happy? Carefully covering the cotton cloth on the pottery basin again, and Tao Jin began to filter the freshly boiled oil again.
After hearing what Tao Jin said just now, Yuchi Gong felt in his heart: His brothers are people with such knowledge and should not do anything stupid, so he didn't say anything this time, just watched quietly.
The oil was filtered over and over again several times before Tao Jin put it away and said, "Okay!" Tao Jin handed the oil in his hand to Yuchi Gong and said, "Brother, let's see how this oil is?"
Yuchi Gong took Tao Jin's hand and looked at the bowl of oil in his hand and said, "It's better than other oils. It looks much clearer and there is no smell. If it is used to light the lamp, it should be used for a long time!"
Tao Jin shook his head and smiled, "If it were for a lamp, would I have to spend so much effort on my brother?"
"Then this?" Yuchi Gong asked in surprise. Yuanbao had packed the buns at this time and was walking out with some difficulty carrying the wooden box. Yuchi Gong took the box and said, "Let me go with you today!"
Yuanbao hurriedly postponed and said, "Uncle Yuchi, you are now the sworn brother of the young master, that is, the young master of Yuanbao. How could Yuanbao let you do such a thing!"
"What young master, we are brothers. Since my brother sells buns, why can't I sell them?" Yuchi Gong was a straightforward person, and he was a general, so he was very strong. Without any hesitation, he had already grabbed the box from Yuanbao and walked out with the box.
Yuanbao looked at Tao Jin in embarrassment. Tao Jin smiled and said, "It's all my own people, why are you polite? And I have said a long time ago that you are not my servant, you are also my brother!"
Yuanbao, whose eyes were red, nodded heavily and hurriedly chased Yuchi Gong out. However, this time it was not to stop Yuchi Gong, but to be afraid that when Yuchi Gong brought the buns, he would be pilled. His hand strength...!
Tao Jin was happy because he accomplished two major things on this day, and these two major things will bring him endless future in the future. How could he be unhappy? To put it more exaggeratedly, he thinks he is having a double happiness today!
The sky gradually darkened, and the setting sun cast its last ray of light on people, telling people that it was time to go home.
Seeing that it was getting late, Tao Jin hurriedly washed some dishes, thinking about what dishes to cook for them so as to give them a surprise. Let them see how this oil should be used.
Although ancient things are not as convenient as modern, Tao Jin used to make them often, so they were very fast. After all, they were divided into two, and four fried fried doughs with a modern atmosphere were on the table.
There are mushrooms and rapeseed with green and red, bamboo shoots, chicken gizzards, spicy shredded pork, and stir-fried cauliflower. Tao Jin looked at the four dishes on the table and smelled the tempting fragrance, full of accomplishment.
Just when Tao Jin was still intoxicated, Yuanbao and Yuchi Gong had already entered the door. Smelling the fragrance of the dishes in the room, Yuchi Gong shouted: "Good brother, what delicious food did you make?" Because this fragrance is completely different from the taste of buns, Yuchi Gong saliva just by smelling it.
When Yuchi Gong and Yuanbao saw the dishes on the table, they were stunned because they had never seen this dish in the Tang Dynasty!
Yuanbao licked his lips and looked at Tao Jin in surprise and asked, "Young Master, did you do this again?" These words were full of questions, because he had to think at this moment, is the young master in front of him still his young master? How could there be so many things?
Compared with Yuanbao's more civilized questioning, Yuchi Gong was much more straightforward. He grabbed the chopsticks that Tao Jin had already placed and said, "No matter who made it, I'm going to eat it!"
After a bite of the dish, Yuchi Gong was stunned. This was a taste that made him feel very satisfied. Unlike the traditional dishes in the past, this dish seemed to open his stomach in an instant. After a moment of hesitation, Yuchi Gong's movement of holding the chopsticks accelerated.
Seeing this, Yuanbao took a bite hesitantly and could no longer put down his chopsticks. Tao Jin was also happy to see that the two of them were eating happily, but no matter how happy they were, they still had to grab the dishes, because if they didn't grab them, they would be gone!
