It was already close to the twelfth lunar month, and the cold wind blew through the bare branches of the trees. The children with runny noses began to put on the jackets modified by adults, and happily rode bamboo horses and made noisy. The inn
Lao He squatted next to the well water, washing the work in his hands, and watching the children making noise with a smile. As he got older, he liked children. His grandson was taken back to his parents' home by his wife to stay for a few days. Otherwise, he would
There must be some naughtiness among these kids.
Fortunately, no troops have been mobilized in the past two years, and a lot of taxes have been waived, so life in Dazhouzhuang is a little easier. It is a secluded place in the countryside. Meat is only sold on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, and usually the only treat is tofu rice.
Butcher Zhao at the entrance of the village saw that even the bones of the pig he had killed on Shishi were rounded before noon, so he killed another big fat pig on Shishi. At this time, Lao He happened to catch up, and he could talk about it.
I bought that cage of pig lungs.
The pig's lungs were originally sewage and could not be sold for the price of meat. However, after cleaning them, they cut a few green radishes that tripped the donkey into pieces, then threw them in and stewed them with the pig's lungs. The heart and lung soup tasted like
It's steaming hot and full of flavor. It's no different from a big pot of stewed meat. It tastes like fatty meat, but the price is much worse than pork, so it's always a hot commodity.
However, Lao He was a wounded soldier in the third year of Pingzheng. He retired and settled in Dazhouzhuang and became the leader of a post station. When he was a big-headed soldier, he traveled all over the country, but he knew another way to make pig lungs.
That is to scrub the fresh pig lungs clean, dry them in water and blow air from the throat. While blowing, pat the pig lungs with your hands to expand them, and then mix an appropriate amount of salt, spices, chili powder and minced garlic with warm water to make a paste.
, pour it into the pig lung from the throat, while pouring, shaking, blowing, and beating. After filling, tie the throat tightly with twine, dry it like bacon, cook it and slice it after two or three months. Then,
The taste is outstanding, and it is even more fragrant and delicious when paired with wine.
At this time, when Lao He was busy scrubbing pig lungs, he unexpectedly heard someone shouting at the official road at the entrance of the village. He was startled and hurriedly stood up and looked outside. Sure enough, he saw a young official holding a horse.
, he was standing at the door of the inn with a face full of anxiety. In this cold weather, people’s faces are all smeared with grease. Otherwise, when the wind blows against the knife, the face will be covered with bloody cuts, so this official’s face
It also looked vague. While Lao He was thinking about what could be done at this time that warranted the use of a fast horse, he didn't dare to neglect it. He hurriedly wiped his hands on his clothes and hurried over.
After checking the documents and confirming that everything was correct, the man knew what was going on. He threw a shiny white spindle over and said in a deep voice:
"Don't try to fool people by hiding the fatted foal. Hurry up and bring the animal you are penning."
When Lao He saw that the thing thrown over was nothing else, it was clearly a small silver ingot worth two taels, and it was of perfect quality, he immediately burst into laughter.
No wonder there are magpies making noise in the treetops this morning. With this windfall, not to mention the famine we caused years ago, we can also cut two kilograms of fat meat three fingers thick and smoke it.
It has been a good year. When I heard this young official say something about "keeping animals in a circle", he naturally nodded and walked back, shouting at the top of his lungs:
"Er Niu, go and fetch Daqing, who the grandpa has placed next to the threshing field."
This inn often has a good horse to convey emergency military information, so it is also known as the one that holds the line. However, as there has been no war in the past two years, the people at the inn have long forgotten this rule.
, Old He also had poisonous eyes. He looked the official up and down and saw that he was wearing a pair of thin square-toed boots, a cardigan black cotton shirt, and fine blue cloth trousers, and his hands and feet were all covered.
It was pulled up quickly and tied with hemp rope, making it look very neat and tidy.
This old He had also seen a lot of greetings and escorts, and he judged in his mind that this person was probably a first-class clerk working under the door of one of those big merchant stores. He was only one step away from the shopkeeper, and his whole body was full of enthusiasm for the future.
There was some urgent business information that needed to be sent out, which would involve the exchange of tens of thousands of silver, so I spent a lot of money to find a suitable partner in the army and decided to make a Yima.
Lao He hasn't seen much of this matter in the past two years. In short, he has benefited from it, so of course he won't say too much. He is also smart. Seeing that this official is so busy, he must be traveling day and night. I don't know.
It had been a long time since the hot soup had been eaten, so he politely said that the horse had just eaten soybeans and fodder, and it needed to drink some water to recuperate. The stove at home was still hot. Do you want to deal with two people? Seeing the guest nodded, he
He went to his house with a smile and kept his wife busy.
Not long after, I saw Lao He coming out with a smile. This bowl looked like a small basin at first glance, but it was the famous local Yaoxian blue and white rough porcelain bowl. Although this old bowl
The surface of the bowl is a bit confusing at first glance. However, there is a kind of simplicity and honesty in the bones, just like the nature of the locals. The bowl is deep and round, and its capacity is at least seven or eight small bowls commonly used for eating.
.
The bowl is full of thick noodles. This local noodle is real. It is thicker, wider and longer than people imagine, and its shape is like a belt tied around the waist. But the white noodles are mixed with
The red oil is splashed with chili peppers, reddish-brown soy sauce, vinegar, snow-white salt, sprinkled with green coriander (i.e. coriander) and chopped green onion, and topped with golden poached eggs. It is really appetizing.
The person whom Lao He mistakenly regarded as the "first-class clerk" was Lin Fengjin. In fact, Lao He judged many aspects very accurately. For example, Lin Fengjin was indeed traveling concurrently at this time, and he did not know
It had been a long time since he had had hot soup. In fact, after Lin Fengjin came out of Yunwu Mountain, he took a rest and started to return to Yedu.
However, when Yedu was already in sight, a fast horse from Xijing, the capital of the Middle Tang Dynasty, suddenly came up from behind. The person on this fast horse was a hidden line arranged by Lin Fengjin in advance.
It is absolutely impossible to use it in an emergency.
The people on the horse brought a piece of news, news that made Lin Fengjin furious.
The king of the Middle Tang Dynasty, Li Jian, was seriously ill and could not see anything. He had been diagnosed with "wind disease"!!!
Lin Fengjin knew very well that wind diseases are strokes! Cerebral hemorrhages! Diseases that directly have fatal effects on the brain have a high mortality rate. Even if they survive, considering Li Jian's age, they will probably be paralyzed.
It is absolutely impossible for a dignified king of a country to be appointed by a person who cannot speak clearly and cannot take care of himself. Therefore, the crown prince's accession to the throne is almost a certainty.
But when Lin Fengjin was in Xijing, he was on the opposite side of the prince!
More importantly, in order to eliminate Li Jian's suspicion, Lin Fengjin also moved his eldest, second and third mothers as hostages! Although these three are not Lin Fengjin's biological mothers, they have no children under their knees.
Therefore, the love for Lin Fengjin is absolutely sincere, and the feelings for Lin Fengjin are the same as a mother treats her son, there is nothing false.
Under such a situation, once the prince ascends the throne successfully, the first thing he will do is to lavish rewards, and the second thing is to settle old accounts!
In fact, these two things should have been carried out at the same time, because if the old accounts are not settled, the new king will ascend the throne, and everything will be in vain. Money will be needed everywhere. Where can there be money to reward heroes?
What about the official positions awarded to meritorious officials?
Lin Fengjin's only hope is that Li Jian's fourth son, King Qin Li Bai, will not be too cowardly and just admit that he is waiting for death! You know, no matter how he reacts, even if he is waiting for death now, the prince will never let him go.
, I only hope that he can join forces with Concubine He and Marquis Wu Qing to make one last crazy counterattack!——
Whether their counterattack is successful or not is not important. The most important thing is that before the prince has dealt with them, he should not have the time to take care of his family in Xijing and use them to vent his anger. This is the most important thing.
According to Lin Fengjin's understanding of Li Bai, his character was like a mad dog, so he immediately rushed to Xijing day and night, and the chance of moving his family away should be quite high, and this incident was very important to him.
For Xijing, which was already in turmoil at the time, only Lin Fengjin could handle it in person.
This is already the fourth day of Lin Fengjin's galloping. The skin on the inside of his legs has long been worn. In the past three days and four nights, Lin Fengjin has slept for less than four hours, and all he has eaten is big pancakes.
Adding cold water, the big bowl of steaming thick noodles that Lao He brought up at this time was obviously attractive to Lin Fengjin. He immediately squatted on the threshold next to him and started eating with a loud slurp.
The fragrant and spicy noodles made his eyes wet with tears and runny nose, but he couldn't stop his mouth and was sweating all over!
Finally, he reluctantly took a bite of the poached egg that was left to the end, and then sucked the last few mouthfuls of noodles into his mouth with a "squeaking" sound and chewed it. Lin Fengjin suddenly felt comfortable all over, and his fatigue seemed to be gone.
He stood up and stretched out comfortably, and asked Lao He to fill up half a bowl of hot noodle soup and drink it. He felt that although this meal was not worth a few dollars, it was more delicious and comfortable than ever before.
All delicacies from mountains and seas are delicious.
It was at this moment that Lin Fengjin's heart suddenly moved. He felt that another invisible chain in his body had snapped. He immediately looked inside and realized that the bottleneck that had been restraining him for a long time had been successfully overcome.
After a while, the two major gates of the seven gates, the epiglottis (suction gate) and the stomach (cardia), were actually passed by in one step. The demon fate unit that had been stagnant for a long time also began to rise slowly and soaring, from forty-three.
The upper limit of units has been breaking through the fifty mark, and finally stopped at fifty-four units. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
