"Rare and strange, do you know the origin of wolf smoke?" Yuan Zhize was prepared for my reaction and was not surprised at all. To be honest, I've heard a lot of idioms with wolf smoke, but I really don't know why it's called wolf smoke.

"Could it be... It's wolf dung..."Linked to the wolf dung he just said, I seem to understand something. "Exactly, don't underestimate this thing, the early warning of the Border Court depends on it. "But why, there are so many things that are not used, but this kind of filth is used, the thinking logic of the ancients is really incomprehensible, maybe what feudal superstition is doing.

"The beacon warning is good at night, as long as the fire is lit, but if you want to warn during the day, you can only rely on wolf smoke. Don't underestimate this wolf dung, the smoke produced by burning ordinary plants and trees is very light in color and is very easy to be blown away once there is wind, but wolf dung is different, once ignited, the color of the smoke is very strong and very eye-catching. ”

Yuan Zhize paused and then said: "And this wolf smoke has a very strange point, the general smoke and dust will be blown away when it encounters the wind, but the wolf smoke is extremely difficult to be blown away, and it can basically be lifted vertically. You say that I can't be a treasure if I don't think something like this. ”

After listening to Yuan Zhize's explanation, I suddenly opened my mouth, and I couldn't help but be interested in the unique characteristics of the wolf smoke: "You say, why can the wolf smoke rise vertically?" Yuan Zhize scratched his head and looked embarrassed: "Well... I don't know, anyway, don't call us the Northwest Army what kind of dung pickers in the future. ”

Before I knew it, it was completely dark, and I was thinking about why the wolf smoke could rise vertically, when a cold "grunt" interrupted my thoughts, and now it was silent, and the sound was very clear. When I looked up and saw Yuan Zhize's embarrassed expression, I knew what was going on.

"I went to talk to you, and I forgot to eat so late. Yuan Zhize smiled sarcastically and said that Xiao Wu seemed to be busy helping the general prepare the carriage and horses for transporting wolf dung tomorrow, and forgot to tell the kitchen to make dinner. Yuan Zhize was just about to order the maid outside the door to pass the meal, but I hurriedly stopped him.

"Lord Wang, it's so late, don't bother the chefs. "Then how can I..."Yuan Zhize was deeply surprised by my actions. "Isn't it me, it's been so long, and I haven't cooked for my husband, so today I decided to cook myself. ”

"You?" As soon as I saw Yuan Zhize's surprised expression, I knew that he must have thought I was bragging, and the stimulation of my self-esteem strengthened my determination to show my skills. "Xiaoxiao, you... You can just cook something and eat it, my requirements are really not high..."It seems that Yuan Zhize is determined that I can't cook. I didn't bother to argue with him, so I left a sentence of "You just wait to eat" and turned around and went out, and the two maids guarding the door saw it and hurriedly walked in front with lanterns to lead the way.

"Xiaoxiao, it's really not good, you just find a cook to help you, don't be embarrassed, haha..."

But after all, it's the first time to do it, so for the sake of insurance, let's pick a dish that you are good at, and simply choose egg fried rice!

The kitchen is located at the back of the palace, close to the back door of the palace, in order to supply the daily life of hundreds of people in the palace and the needs of various feasts, the kitchen occupies a large courtyard at the back, and there are two warehouses for storing food.

It's the middle of the night, and most of the cooks have gone back to rest because there is no task, and only one room in the huge kitchen garden is lit up, and the images of a few people moving back and forth on the window paper are carrying things.

A cold wind blew, rustling the dense leaves of the trees in the garden, and I shivered, and with the help of the two maids beside me, I stepped into it carefully. Depending on the process of making the dishes, there are several different workshops in the kitchen, and I am going to the kitchen where I specialize in stir-fried vegetables.

As the three of us passed by the lighted kitchen, we overheard a conversation between the people inside, which piqued my interest.

"Hey, do you know that, it's said to have something to do with our mother. "A middle-aged woman spoke in a very loud voice, and although it was through the door, I could hear it clearly. Who else could it be but me?
