Chapter 341 There is always trouble in the world, but there are also many joys
On March 27, the shipowner went to Xuzhou.
On the largest high-rise building at the ferry, Wei Cheng and others looked at the end of the long river.
At this time, only the sail at the end of the fleet could be seen, as well as the military flag with the word "guard" fluttering in the wind on the mast.
Putting away the telescope, Xu Huang cupped his fists and said, "Sir, it's getting late, let's go back."
Wei Teng nodded slightly, then looked at Xu Ding and others aside, and said: "There are many uncontrollable factors in long-term operations, and Cao Cao has capable people. I want you to pay attention to the battle situation in Xuzhou at all times, and have fast horses to deliver news every day.
, there must be no mistakes.”
Wei Gong, who was behind Xu Ding, took a step forward, clasped his fists and said, "Second brother, don't worry, the secret guards have arrived in Xuzhou in advance. The latest news will be sent in the next two days, so our brothers will not be put in danger."
"Such a great kindness."
Wei Cheng smiled with satisfaction, then waved his sleeves and said loudly: "I finally came to the river to see if there are any fresh carps. Let's buy a few and stew them in an iron pot, and drink some together in the evening."
Everyone smiled when they heard this, Xu Huang clasped his fists and said: "You don't need to tell me, sir, fishermen have just brought in fish, and I see there are a lot of carp among them, and they are not small."
Wei Cheng chuckled and reminded: "Don't ask for fishermen's things in vain. Remember to pay."
Xu Huang responded with cupped fists.
Towards evening, the convoy arrived at Anyi.
Wei Cheng did not go to Dingjunfang again, but went directly back home, and made an appointment with everyone to have dinner in the East Garden of Wei Mansion.
"Oh, by the way, Gongming, please remember to call the two gentlemen."
Xu Huang clasped his fists, "Are they Mr. Zhang?"
Wei Teng nodded slightly.
When Xu Huang heard this, he frowned and said, "Sir, do you still remember the two thieves who climbed over the wall this morning?"
Wei Cheng looked back at Xu Huang, nodded and said, "I remember, what's wrong?"
···
Dingjunfang.
Because the army was going on an expedition, there was not much food prepared in the canteen tonight, so a few free cooks gathered together.
In front of them was a very cute girl, grabbing a pig knuckle and gnawing on it.
"Hmm, this is so good. Senior sister, you should eat it too."
"..."
"And this white steamed bun is fragrant and soft. How can there be such delicious steamed buns in this world!"
Several of the cooks were giggling. It was rare to find a little girl who was so good at eating and had such a sweet mouth. It made people happy just to look at them.
However, compared to the little girl's ease, the other woman seemed much colder.
Several cooks followed the girl's line of sight and saw a woman with an oval face and a pair of gray eyes, lowering her head to listen to the lesson...
Zhang Xiu said with hatred: "Should I say it or not, this girl can be considered a talent. In all my life, this is the first time I have encountered a ruthless person who can drug me down."
The Gray Child woman looked ashamed, and her cheeks had a rare blush, which was really beautiful.
Zhang Xiu looked at the girl who was regarded as a living treasure by several cooks, and shook his head helplessly. As the elder of the ghost sect, he actually had such an iron fool under his sect. He didn't know what evil he had done.
If Zhang Xiu hadn't happened to have the antidote to the phantom fragrance on his body this morning, this little girl would have been bumped into a corner, because at that time she claimed that she had seen a fairyland and was determined to break through the so-called fairyland barrier.
The Gray Child woman's stomach suddenly growled.
When Zhang Xiu heard the commotion, he sighed softly, pushed the plate full of food in front of him, and said: "Eat, have a good night's rest after eating, and go back early tomorrow. There is chaos outside, and you two little girls can't do whatever you want.
Arrogant."
The Gray Child woman pursed her lips, picked up Kuaizi, looked at the various delicacies on the plate, and couldn't help but swallow her dry throat.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiu shook his head again, picked up his wine bottle and started drinking by himself.
At this time, the Cinderella girl who had taken a bite of green vegetables suddenly said in a deep voice: "If Shuangxi doesn't come out with me, Master will send her there. I don't want her to suffer those consequences, so I took her out secretly. As long as Shuangxi doesn't come out with me, she will be sent there.
If she can bring back the book and make a great contribution, Master will probably not force her to go there again."
Zhang Xiu's sparse eyebrows couldn't help but tighten. After putting down the wine bottle, he glanced at the girl named Shuangxi, then frowned and asked: "Is the state capital where you mentioned?"
The Cinderella girl couldn't help but tighten her hand on Kuaizi, nodded with a trembling voice, and pressed her lips together tightly.
A strange look flashed across Zhang Xiu's face, and then he confirmed: "The governor's office, Liu Yan?"
Upon hearing this name, the Gray Child woman's expression became extremely pale, and the Gray Child was filled with fear.
Zhang Xiu suddenly remembered what Wei Cheng had said before, that the woman had an unclear relationship with Liu Yan.
Now it seems that it really does exist, and there may be great horror in it.
Zhang Xiu suddenly remembered that woman's strange behavior of frequently adopting orphans from the public in the past two years. It seemed that he, the great elder, was kept in the dark about many things and knew nothing about the intelligence inside the door.
At the same time, he also secretly lamented Wei Cheng's intelligence ability, and he even had an informant in Yizhou.
Zhang Xiu's cloudy eyes suddenly became sharp. He raised his eyes to look at the Gray Child woman and asked in a deep voice: "Xiao Bai, tell me truthfully, are all the adopted women..."
He looked at the innocent girl Shuang Xi. The thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl was in her prime, and she was just one of the orphans adopted by the Ghost Sect. There were many others, and he couldn't remember them anymore. Anyway, his memory
No less than a hundred people were selected.
The Gray Child woman's body began to tremble unconsciously, and two lines of clear tears fell from her pale face.
"Gene Era"
Zhang Xiu didn't get an answer from her, but the scene in front of him was enough.
Zhang Xiu has always affectionately called this little girl "Xiao Bai" whom he watched grow up, and even taught her many unique witchcraft skills, thus helping her to improve her status in the family and avoid many hardships.
.
Now that I think about it, if I hadn't done it unintentionally, Xiaobai might have been used by that woman to cling to the powerful.
Zhang Xiu clenched the wine bottle in his hand, anger growing in his heart. At this age, basically nothing could disturb his emotions. But looking at the tears on Xiaobai's face and thinking of the situation those young girls might have suffered, Zhang Xiu
Really angry.
There are always some bad people in this world. When he was young, Zhang Xiu encountered many demons and ghosts, and he also used his sword to eliminate evil in the world. Now he is getting older, but he has not yet reached the point where he can no longer walk.
.
"Don't cry. I will go south with you tomorrow. This time I will clean up the house myself."
···
Weifu, Dongyuan.
On the blazing earthen bed, the fish soup in the large iron pot couldn't stop rolling, and the rich fragrance hit your nostrils.
Dian Wei, who was in charge of lighting the fire, couldn't help but lick his lips, grabbed a handful of dry firewood, and stuffed them all into the stove.
When Wei Cheng saw this, he hurriedly shouted: "Don't add more firewood, it will not be beautiful if it is burned any more."
When Dian Wei heard this, he scratched his head in embarrassment.
The others laughed loudly, and Xu Huang said narrowly: "I'm sorry, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. The best thing in this iron pot stewed carp is the pieces of old tofu. If the heat is too high, the tofu will be cooked in a while."
If it's broken, you can't eat anything."
Wei Cheng opened the lid of the pot, took a look, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the tofu has soaked up the soup, so it shouldn't boil. It's almost ready to put sauerkraut."
"I'll come, I'll come." Dian Wei stood up in a hurry, took the sauerkraut that had been cut long ago, and poured it into the big iron pot.
Wei Cheng took the wooden ladle and pressed the sauerkraut evenly into the fish soup. A mouth-watering sour taste suddenly filled the air, and the pot of fish soup seemed to be sublimated in an instant.
.
Everyone watched Wei Cheng's movements eagerly, swallowing hard and licking his lips, looking impatient.
After rolling it three more times, Wei Cheng announced that it was done.
When Dian Wei heard this, he quickly took a sea bowl and filled it with a full bowl of rice.
"Sir, are these enough?"
Wei Cheng was stunned for a moment, looked at the three or four kilograms of rice, and said with a smile: "I can't eat so much."
Xu Chu said angrily from the side: "Do you think everyone can eat like you?"
As he spoke, he served Wei Cheng some rice in a small bowl, and carefully turned it over with a kuai to release the heat from the rice.
Wei Cheng took the rice from Xu Chu and sat down on the small stool next to the stove. "Come on, come on, sit down and eat. Eat until you're half full before you drink."
When everyone heard this, they were not polite. They each filled their bowls with rice, pulled up small stools, and sat around the stove with Wei Cheng.
Xu Ding took a stick, picked out a piece of old tofu filled with soup, and brought it to Wei Cheng.
Wei Cheng smiled and reached out to catch the bowl, and said to him: "I can do it by myself. There are no outsiders here. Being too particular will not be beautiful."
When Xu Huang and others heard this, they burst out laughing. They stopped being polite and started fighting over each other. It was quite lively for a while.
Hao Zhao finally picked up a piece of old tofu, not wanting to be touched. The tofu fell back into the pot and was quickly picked up by a pair of speedsters.
"Hey, if you have a quick hand, you will have it, but if you have a slow hand, you won't."
Le Jin gloated about the misfortune and put the old tofu into his bowl, not forgetting to say 'preach'.
Hao Zhao was so angry that he asked, "You want to grab a piece of tofu too?"
Le Jin blew on the hot tofu, bit off a piece happily, and joked: "If you don't grab it, you won't be able to eat anything."
Hao Zhao was startled when he heard this. He lowered his head and looked at the big iron pot, only to find that the few pieces of tofu had been taken away. There were only fish and pickled vegetables in the pot. He felt like crying without tears.
"Sir, can you add a few more pieces of tofu?" Hao Zhao looked pitifully at Wei Cheng, his prospective brother-in-law.
Wei Cheng shook his head in a funny way, "That's not possible. This is the most interesting part of eating big pot stew. Although the ingredients are simple and easy to obtain, it doesn't look good if there are too many ingredients. It's the most delicious thing to eat in a rush.
.”
"But I was the only one here who didn't get tofu." Hao Zhao was still a young man after all, and he felt extremely aggrieved.
Everyone laughed when they saw this, and Xu Huang said: "Who distracted you? Remember this lesson next time. The tofu is only yours when it reaches your own bowl."
"That's not necessarily the case." Wei Cheng said with a smile.
Everyone was startled when they heard this and listened curiously to what he said.
Wei Cheng took a bite of tofu and said with a smile: "If Yide is here, he doesn't care whether it's in your bowl or not. As long as you haven't finished eating, even if you take a bite, he will snatch it from you."
"Hahaha……"
"Yes, yes, that boy Yide is capable of such reckless behavior."
"Damn it, now that I think about this wicked and smoking guy, I get really angry. The last time I went to my house to sit around, he actually took away all the fine wines I had collected. He even called him a thief who never gets away with anything."
"He also stole your wine?"
"And I."
"Damn it, so am I. The wine that the young master gave me was even better than what he took away."
Everyone said something to each other, and after speaking, they all looked at Wei Cheng in unison.
Wei Cheng was stunned for a moment, then stuffed the tofu into his mouth. The deliciousness of the fish soup mixed with the fragrance of soybeans made him chew for a while before reluctantly swallowing it.
"Don't look at me like that. You can drink whatever you want tonight. That's enough."
Wei Cheng pointed to the wooden box aside. Seeing this, Dian Wei hurriedly put down his bowl and ran over.
Soon, he came carrying two clay pots with red paper on them. One said "Wuliangye" and the other said "Erguotou".
"Also, there are two more cans in the box." Dian Wei pursed his lips at Le Jin, who also liked wine.
When Le Jin heard this, he stood up excitedly, "But sweet wine?"
Everyone has different preferences. Dian Wei, Zhang Fei, Hua Cun and others like spicy wine, while Le Jin prefers refreshing fruit wine and sake.
Hao Zhao ran over and picked up the two remaining wine cans. He saw one with [Plum Wine] written on it and the other with [Beer] written on it.
When Wei Cheng saw this, he hurriedly shouted: "Xiao Zhao, the beer is mine."
Wei Cheng also has a preference, Dawusu, which is strong enough.

A large bowl was poured in, and Wei Cheng drank it down in one gulp without any image. This bowl was almost as big as a bottle, so we are not afraid of drinking beer.
Seeing Wei Cheng's boldness, everyone responded one after another.
Dian Wei loved Erguotou, and he was the only person present who dared to drink liquor directly from a bowl. A bowl of Erguotou weighed one and a half kilograms, and he drank most of the bowl. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was a huge amount.
"Hahaha, so happy!"
"Elai is really a drinker!"
Everyone followed the sound and saw Wei Min walking towards him with a few elders of the Wei family, including Zhang Zhongjing and Zhang Xiu.
Wei Cheng had already asked Xu Huang to invite them over, but he was only delayed when he learned that Zhang Zhongjing and Zhang Xiu were passing by, and his fifth uncle Wei Yan specially asked people to welcome them... Wei Cheng also learned from this that Zhang Zhongjing had a grudge.
Weishi, helped Weishi solve a plague.
A simple salute and greeting.
Wei Cheng looked at Zhang Xiu, smiled and joked: "I heard that the chief was robbed this morning, or was it two domestic thieves?"
Zhang Xiu's face turned red. When Xu Huang took people there this morning, he happened to see the little girl Shuang Xi going crazy and hitting the wall. Zhang Xiu spent a lot of time to prevent Xu Huang from taking the two girls away for investigation.
Hearing Wei Cheng mention this matter at this time, Zhang Xiu bowed his hands in shame and said, "Young Master is laughing at me. Those two are disciples of the old Taoist sect. They broke into the military workshop unintentionally. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me."
The old Taoist is a bit thin-faced, so it would be best to spare them."
Wei Cheng waved his hand carelessly, glanced at Zhang Zhongjing, and smiled at him.
"It's okay. I just heard that there was a little girl who was obsessed with her own poisonous smoke. She had a red umbrella and a white umbrella. They ate and lay down together. I didn't expect that the ghost gate also has a lot of research on poisonous mushrooms.
I will have to ask the Taoist priest for more advice later."
"Red umbrella, white umbrella, let's lie down together after eating..."
A strange color flashed in Zhang Xiu's eyes. The phantom incense was made by Du Gu with a red umbrella cover. He didn't expect Wei Cheng to even know this.
"I don't dare to ask for advice. If there is a chance in the future, I would like to discuss something with you... Unfortunately, I will go south tomorrow. I am not sure when I will come to Hedong again."
Wei Cheng frowned slightly, "Taoist Master is going back so soon, but what difficulties have you encountered?"
