The level of August Lake is in the depths of the emptiness and the clearness of Taiqing. The air steams in the clouds and the waves shake Yueyang City.

If you want to save the fish without a boat, you will be ashamed of being a wise man. If you sit and watch the fishing fish, you will only envy the fish.

...

In the blink of an eye, August has come, but the news of the scientific examination has not arrived for a long time.

Changlin Village not only made Lin Erhu of the county government pay attention to the news of the scientific investigation, but also asked people to go to the Qingye Inspection Office to inquire every day, and the old patriarch and others became more and more anxious.

News from this era is undoubtedly blocked. Everyone knows that after Song Tixue presided over the examination of Gaozhou Prefecture, he followed the previous practice and went to Qiongzhou Prefecture to preside over the examination of the examination.

However, Qiongzhou Prefecture is an island that needs to cross the ocean to get there. Now there is no news for a long time. Some people speculate that the ship that Lord Song Tixue was riding was shipwrecked and had already hidden in the sea.

However, there was also a rumor that Song Tixue did arrive at Qiongzhou Prefecture, but after receiving the news from Enke, he rushed back immediately. And he said on the way that the date of the scientific examination would be set in August.

eighteen.

But this is a rumor after all, and everyone dares not believe it easily, and they just hope that the official documents will arrive soon.

As a participant in the imperial examination, Lin Weiran seemed not in a hurry.

Even though time passed quickly, he still leisurely brought a group of men from Changlin Village, intending to build a village gate in front of the stone bridge. This is not a big project, it only needs to play a buffering role, especially

It can be used to prevent large-scale raids from others at night.

The adhesive in this era was mainly glutinous rice juice, but the cost was very high. So Lin Yanran used local materials and made some limestone in the limestone mountain beside the village for simple firing, and made some rough versions of cement.

These cements are naturally incomparable to future generations, but there is no problem in building stone walls.

A tall carriage came slowly from the entrance of the village. Hu Niu's small body was sitting in front of the carriage, driving the carriage in a good manner. The little golden monkey followed and was squatting beans next to her.

.

"This carriage is so comfortable and very stable!"

"Hu Niu, hurry up and arrive in Qingye Town. Aunt invites you to the candy man!"

"Hu Niu, I haven't been to the restaurant yet when I was fifty or sixty. You have to take me to see this trip!"

...

The curtains were pulled open, and the women from Changlin Village were squeezed into the carriage, including an old lady. These three women were probably talking nonstop all the way.

After confirming that Hu Niu really knows how to drive the carriage, some women in the village became active. Finally, they couldn't help but ask Hu Niu to use the carriage to carry them to the market.

Hu Niu was a person who couldn't rest. When she saw several women begging her, she agreed without hesitation. When the carriage passed by Lin Qiran, she looked at him proudly, looking a little small.

air.

"When I come back, bring me a shrimp cake!" Lin Qingran looked at her appearance and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Compared to Hu Niu's love of Candy Man, he is fond of shrimp cakes and likes the soft and fresh delicious taste.

.

"Well, I will remember!" Hu Niu nodded proudly and agreed.

The tall carriage drove across the stone bridge slowly and quickly disappeared at the bend of the hillside. Hu Niu carried the women towards Qingye Town.

When the stone bridge was built, some stone was left beside it, which was just right to use. Soon, the stone wall on the left began to build up, intending to build a gate of the Eight Character Wall.

squeak……

While carrying stones among piles of rocks, a scream suddenly came out, and something rushed out of the cave. The man was so scared that he hurriedly let go of the stone, with a look of horror on his face.

"White-necked Pig!"

Someone's eyes lit up and he pointed at the escaped little thing and shouted.

Lin Weiran was stirring cement and sand together at that time. A small thing passed by his feet, which scared him to jump up, but when he heard that it was a white-necked pig, his eyes immediately burst out.

This thing seemed to be frightened. He wanted to run towards the bushes on the other end of the bridge, but after several obstacles, he actually chose to escape to the entrance of the village.

"Catch it! Catch it!"

Lin Qingran swallowed his saliva and no longer cared about his image, and said loudly to the Qinghan running in front. In his eyes, it was not a white-necked pig, but a steaming char siu.

squeak……

This thing has nowhere to hide, and finally a man was snatched and made a sharp scream.

"Uncle Nineteen, give it!"

The one who caught the pig badger was Awu, a very strong man who sent him over to please.

“Good!”

Lin Qingran praised without hesitation and looked at the fat pig badger. However, he did not expect that there was such an unexpected surprise. He immediately threw down the work at hand and walked towards the village.

But the others went back to find the hole just now, because the pig badgers are social animals, and there are very likely pig badgers inside.

Hou Si quickly boiled boiling water and slaughtered the white-necked pig. This thing weighs at least eight or nine pounds, and the meat is very plump, which is indeed a rare and wonderful delicacy.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Xuran made up his mind to make char siu.

The best thing about char siu is naturally pork tenderloin, but pork belly is also good. After adding the sauce and salt, he found honey again, which was picked by Hu Niu some time ago.

Grab the meat into strips, marinate it with salt and sauce, spread with honey, and skew it on top of bamboo sticks.

There are several earthen kilns beside the sauna. He chose the shorter one and placed the bamboo stick flat on it. Below it is a red charcoal fire. The meat is slowly roasted in the charcoal fire, and the meat gradually becomes harder and the oil is poured out.

The surface is over.

The oil stains that were oozing on the charcoal fire made a "sweet" sound, and the smell of meat floated out, spreading throughout the glutinous field, attracting everyone's attention immediately.

Guru...

Several men came over and couldn't help swallowing.

Wu Daoxing also came to the earth kiln, his throat wriggled heavily, and asked with saliva in his mouth: "Little Sanyuanlang, what are you making? Why are you so delicious?"

"You don't have a share!" Lin Qingran flipped the bamboo stick and said lightly.

"Why don't I have a share? Although I have no fortune, my fortune is still good. I have eaten dragon meat in Yunfu Mountain." Wu Daoxing glared at his eyes and immediately boasted.

Lin Weiran ignored him. Looking at the burnt red and burnt char siu, she couldn't help swallowing. She just felt that there was not enough honey, so she wiped some more and continued to burn.

Seeing that the char siu was about to be prepared, I heard the sound of a carriage outside the village.
Chapter completed!
