The setting sun is like blood, and the sky and the earth are a fiery red (high-quality text is the first, all in %).
The fields undulating with the wind and the woods in the distance were dyed fiery red by the sunset.
It was almost dusk, and pedestrians were passing by in a hurry on the long official road.
A group of nearly a hundred soldiers, surrounded by a dusty carriage, creaked and walked on the official road.
In the car, Lu Heng leaned against the carport, looking out the car window at the beautiful sunset. He smiled bitterly and shook his head.
In that carriage, there is still a faint fragrance that is refreshing.
Now, Lu Heng was the only one left in the empty carriage.
Halfway through, at an intersection not far from Luoyang City, Lu Heng reluctantly sent Bai Suyan away, who was eager to return to Sichuan.
The farewell was very sad.
But before leaving, Bai Suyan gave her a secret kiss, which made Lu Heng touch his face to this day, as if he was reminiscing about the woman's soft lips.
Last year, I made a plan to promote local development for Zhang Wenshan, who was still the magistrate of Yizhou at the time. After Zhang Wenshan was transferred, his successor continued to implement the plan. Now one year has passed, although I have not been there
I took a look in Chengdu, but I heard from Bai Suyan that thanks to the imperial policies and the efforts of local officials, the Miao family's life is now much better than before.
On the way, Lu Heng said something mean-spirited about Miao medicine's promotion ideas. Bai Suyan next to him suddenly had brilliant eyes.
Pretending to be serious and indifferent, Bai Suyan just came up with Lu Heng's entire plan. She giggled, pecked Lu Heng on the lips like a dragonfly, and then left gracefully.
She said that next year, when she wants to know where she ranks in the Lu family, she will naturally come to her door.
Now that the beautiful woman has gone, in the empty carriage, only the scholar is touching his face, looking at the west, as silent as water, at the setting sun hanging down the hillside. (High-quality text first published, all in %)
However, the pleasant smile on his face, which was dyed red by the setting sun, greatly destroyed the sad and sad atmosphere.
The sunset was like blood, and the ancient road stretched. A lonely carriage creaked by, casting a long and slanting shadow.
Dusk falls, and the sky and earth turn green.
In the dim twilight ahead, an inn beside the official road was dimly lit.
The cavalry stopped in front of the inn, and soldiers from the Snow Wolf Battalion came to knock on the door.
Bang Bang Bang, after grabbing the iron ring on the door and knocking a few times, the wooden door opened with a creak, revealing the sleepy face of the waiter.
After the waiter yawned, he saw clearly the appearance of the group of people standing outside. Seeing that these people were fully armed and looked like a group of sergeants, the waiter quickly put on a smiling face and quickly opened the door with his hands and feet.
Pushing away, he bowed and said: "Several military lords, please come in!"
Seeing the door open, Zhan Xiong pointed out a few people who were responsible for patrolling the perimeter. The rest of the soldiers from the Snow Wolf Battalion led their horses in. Behind, Zhan Xiong and several soldiers followed closely around Lu Heng, scanning with lightning eyes.
All around.
"Oh, what a handsome horse! The shop has good fodder. Look...!" The waiter praised the horse and reached out to touch it. But halfway out, he was caught by a hand like an iron pincer.
Got it.
"This horse has a strong temper and cannot be touched by ordinary people!" The soldier smiled and let go of the waiter's wrist. He said naturally. After reaching out and patting the grain bag hanging on the horse's back, the soldier smiled slightly and said: "We will prepare our own.
Forage, don’t bother the shopkeeper to worry about it!”
The waiter smiled coquettishly, touched his blue wrist, and took a deep breath.
After entering the yard and arranging the first group of soldiers who were responsible for feeding the horses and keeping vigil, the rest of the people followed the waiter and headed towards the inn lobby.
Entering the hall, there was no one in the hall. After Zhan Xiong gave the order, the soldiers sat down in groups. When one of the soldiers saw Zhan Xiong nodded, he stood up and asked the waiter, where is the kitchen?
"We'll cook our own food!" The waiter looked at him in surprise, and the soldier said with a friendly smile.
"But, there are never such rules in small stores!" The waiter glanced at the shopkeeper sitting behind the counter and said with a troubled face.
The soldier smiled, took out a five-tael silver ingot from his pocket, put it on the table, and then said to the waiter with a smile: "The rules are set by people (high-quality text is first published, all in %)!"
Before the waiter could react, the sleepy shopkeeper who was sitting behind the counter rushed over with a whoosh. His movements were so swift that the soldier almost drew his sword.
The shopkeeper, who was about fifty years old, ran over, stuffed the silver into his sleeve neatly, smiled flatteringly, and said to the soldier: "Yes, yes, the military master is right, the rule is
It’s decided by people!”
He turned around, glared at the waiter in the shop and said, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you take the military master with you!"
Such a reaction was completely different. After the waiter came to his senses, he nodded quickly and headed towards the kitchen without missing a moment.
At this moment, Lu Heng, who was talking to Zhan Xiong in a low voice, stood up.
After he called out the two people, he clasped his fists and said to the shopkeeper: "I wonder if the boss has a stove or cooking utensils like a casserole here?"
"This!" The shopkeeper was a little dumbfounded and nodded in confusion: "Of course we have this, but what do you want these things for, sir?"
Judging from the respectful attitude of the soldiers towards the scholar, this person should be a military general or a high-ranking official of the imperial court. The shopkeeper knew many people, so he would naturally recognize him.
At this time, when the scholar asked, although the shopkeeper was suspicious, he answered respectfully.
"That's great!" Lu Heng smiled, and then said to the soldier: "Take a few people, move the stove and casserole to the yard, then cut some meat and vegetables, and prepare the curtain wood!"
"Sir, what do you want?" Zhan Xiong stood up and looked at Lu Heng in confusion.
"I only ate some solid food along the way, and I was very talkative." Lu Heng smiled, turned around, winked at Zhan Xiong, and said mysteriously: "Tonight, I will show you my skills and teach you how to make a dish.
Great food!”
It's no wonder that Lu Heng is greedy. Along the way, Bai Suyan tried her best to seduce Lu Heng. Sichuan hot pot is so delicious. It tastes delicious, spicy and dry. The couple can only eat dry food for several months.
Lu Heng, who lives his daily life, is a fatal temptation.
Lu Heng, who was seduced along the way, kept choking on his saliva.
On the side, Bai Suyan giggled and scolded Lu Heng for being a glutton.
Now, Lu Heng, who happened to be resting here and endured the whole journey, took this opportunity to try something new first.
The soldiers of the Snow Wolf Battalion were not sloppy in their work. After a while, they had everything ready.
The banquet was also moved from the hall to the courtyard (the first high-quality text is in %).
Under Lu Heng's guidance, the soldiers arranged more than a dozen stoves and casseroles in a neat row. Then they lit a fire, added ingredients, and added water.
The blazing fire was burning here, licking the black bottom of the pot. The emerging fire illuminated the night in the yard brightly.
The soldiers sat on both sides of the stove, curiously watching the military advisor roll up his sleeves and quickly put the cumin chili pepper into the boiling water casserole.
At this time, Lu Heng didn't look like a scholar at all. He looked more like a cook. He picked up a handful of chili peppers and other seasonings and sprinkled them into the pot.
After working like this for a while, he saw Zhan Xiong sitting there, looking at him curiously. Lu Heng smiled and cursed angrily: "Don't just sit there stupidly, come here and help me!"
"Okay!" Zhan Xiong's hands had been itching for a long time. Hearing this, he ran over in a hurry.
"Then cut the meat and sweet potatoes into slices. Thinly!" Lu Heng sprinkled a handful of chili peppers into a casserole, turned back and pointed at the large pieces of meat and sweet potatoes on the wooden board behind him, and said to him.
"Look at it!" Zhan Xiong chuckled, pulled out his sword with a sneer, and started dancing with a whirring sound.
In the flash of the knife's light, the large pieces of meat, sweet potatoes and other ingredients were all turned into thin, well-proportioned slices.
Seeing this scene, Lu Heng couldn't help but be stunned, "This is okay!"
Seeing Zhan Xiong chuckling and holding up his hands to thank the brothers for their cheers, Lu Heng smiled and continued busy with the ingredients.
After the seasonings were evenly sprinkled into the pot, Lu Heng asked the soldiers sitting on both sides to stir the seasonings in the pot with chopsticks.
After a while, the clear boiling water began to become oily and ruddy.
A mouth-watering aroma also filled the yard.
Not only did the seduced soldiers swallow their saliva, but even the display cabinet and the waiter came over curiously.
"Is this Yizhou hot pot?" the shopkeeper asked curiously, pointing to the boiling water in the pot.
Lu Heng smiled and nodded, clapped his hands, and looked at him in surprise: "Oh, the store owner is so knowledgeable!"
"Hehe, you are so complimentary. I went to Yizhou once when I was a child, and the most unforgettable thing for me is the hot pot in Yizhou!" When the shopkeeper spoke, he took a sip of saliva and smiled.
said.
"Don't be stunned, put the meat in quickly!" Lu Heng saw the soldiers looking at the soup in the pot with gleaming eyes, and cursed angrily with a smile (high-quality text first published, all in %). He turned around
, looking at the store owner with bright eyes, Lu Heng smiled and said, "Let's eat together!"
After hearing this, the shopkeeper wanted to be modest. But after seeing the scholar finish speaking, he returned to his seat. No longer vague, he moved a chair and sat down with the waiter.
Hearing this, the soldiers woke up from a dream, laughed, and busily put meat and vegetables into the pot.
After the pork and mutton turned white and the ingredients were cooked, Lu Heng took the lead in picking up the chopsticks, glanced at the soldiers and said, "Let's eat!"
For a time, the courtyard of the inn shrouded in darkness was filled with heat.
The soldiers who had been running all the way without rest finally had hot food, and it was still so delicious.
The soldiers laughed, scooped up the ingredients in the pot with chopsticks, and ate happily.
And in the pot, the sauce prepared by Lu Heng himself makes the taste of this hot pot even better.
The soldiers who ate enough chili were sweating profusely and gasping for air. Their mouths were full of spicy feeling, but the aroma made these guys eat all the ingredients in one go.
"It's not enough. Shopkeeper, go bring some more meat!" Zhan Xiong was shirtless, stepped on the chair, and fished in the pot with chopsticks for a long time, but he didn't even fish out anything. In anger,
Zhan Xiong waved his hand directly and said to the shop owner who was also glowing with food.
"Yes, yes, Master Jun, please wait a moment!" The shopkeeper stood up, wiped his mouth, responded with a smile, and then pulled the waiter and ran towards the kitchen.
"Zhan Xiong!" Just when Zhan Xiong squatted down and was about to pick up the pot and drink the soup, Lu Heng beside him looked at the shopkeeper who entered the store and said in a deep voice.
"Ah?" Zhan Xiong quickly put down the pot, turned around, and looked at the military advisor with a calm and calm expression in astonishment.
Lu Heng raised his chin, pointed at the kitchen and said, "Send someone to follow them!"
Hearing this, Zhan Xiong's thoughts about the delicious hot pot disappeared immediately. His face became extremely solemn, he looked at the military advisor and said, "Sir, you mean...?"
After thinking about it, Zhan Xiong said suspiciously: "This is unlikely!"
Lu Heng withdrew his gaze from the kitchen, turned his head, looked at Zhan Xiong and said, "Four months ago, when you left Beijing, didn't you realize that there was nothing here? How did this inn appear?
"
"Tsk tsk, look, the table is still wet (the first high-quality text, all in %)!" Lu Heng flicked the table with his fingers, with a clear smile in his eyes, and said to Zhan Xiong, who was frowning in thought.
Hearing this, Zhan Xiong was immediately horrified. He lowered his head and glanced at the newly made table, and he suddenly realized that this place was obviously a black shop.
Then he went and looked at the newly built table, which was no more than ten days old. Zhan Xiong thought about it and suddenly understood that someone had obviously built such an inn outside Tokyo and was waiting for him to come.
"Yes, I understand!" Zhan Xiong said solemnly, cupping his fists.
Then, he raised his chin to the soldiers who had stopped moving, and three of them nodded and accepted the order. The remaining soldiers, seeing the stern expressions of the military advisor and the general, subconsciously grasped the hilts of the swords beside them.
.
"Everyone, eat!" Seeing that the atmosphere had cooled down, Lu Heng smiled, holding his chopsticks between his hands, he smiled at the soldiers and said, "I still have a lot here, don't waste it!"
It's still necessary to make fun of yourself. Otherwise, it won't be fun if someone finds out.
After giving the order, the soldiers laughed, ran over with porcelain bowls in their hands, and divided everything in the big pot in front of Lu Heng in three strokes.
While eating hot pot and singing songs.
A bird's chirping, distant and near, sounded faintly in the night.
Zhan Xiong, who had always had his ears pricked, changed his expression slightly after hearing this. Lowering his voice, Lu Heng said: "Brothers on the periphery reported that there were about thirty assassins in black and they were approaching here quickly. The brothers asked
, should we kill them?"
Lu Heng held the bowl, thought for a while, and said calmly: "Let them in!"
"Yes!" Zhan Xiong nodded to the soldier on the side.
Then, I saw the soldier take out a piccolo from his collar, put it in his mouth, and played the melodious bird song gently.
After a while, I heard the kitchen door being kicked open.
The shopkeeper and the waiter, who had just been eating and chatting together, were now in extremely embarrassed state. Like dead dogs, they were carried out by the three soldiers of the Snow Wolf Battalion.
"Report to the military advisor, they have just been poisoning!" A soldier from the Snow Wolf Battalion threw the white powder in his hand on the ground and said to Lu Heng.
On the side, Zhan Xiong lowered his head, touched the white powder with his fingers, and smelled it.
"It's arsenic!" Zhan Xiong's face was as dark as water, he turned his head, looked at Lu Heng and said in a deep voice. (To be continued)
