Chapter 239: Food and Wine

Liu Xi, the five sisters of the Zhen family, and Diao Xiu'er toured the neighborhood, and almost an hour later, they returned to Yuan Chang. After all, it's winter, and there is no beautiful scenery, and they have just been in the county for a long time, otherwise they wouldn't have run outside to blow the wind.

"Brother-in-law, people are hungry!"

Zhen Mi ran to Yuan Chang's side and looked at Yuan Chang pitifully. Every time she begged Yuan Chang for something, Zhen Mi's little mouth was always so sweet that it made people cry and laugh.

"Hong Fei, you go and ask the villagers to help slaughter five pigs, and I'll show you my hand today. ”

Yuan Chang has long been immune to Zhen Mi's eccentric character, and now that the two are in the armistice friendly stage, he is also very simple. He's said he's going to show off his cooking skills before, so let them take a good look at it now. After the death of Yuan Chang's parents in his previous life, he lived alone, and he didn't cook once or twice, and he was still quite confident in his craft.

Mencius once said that "a gentleman is far away from cooking", but it is clear that this sentence was misunderstood by later generations of Confucian disciples, saying that a gentleman cannot approach the kitchen. In fact, the reason why Mencius said this sentence was that King Xuan of Qi saw that the ox was trembling because it was going to be sacrificed to the sky, so he asked people to replace it with a sheep. Subsequently, Mencius wanted to preach the idea of benevolence and righteousness, so he said "the gentleman is far away from the kitchen", which means that the gentleman can't bear to see the scene of killing, as the so-called out of sight is pure, so he should stay away from the kitchen.

Of course, it is not once or twice that Confucian disciples misinterpret the words of the sages, and it doesn't matter if they get used to it.

Hearing Yuan Chang's words, everyone looked at Yuan Chang suspiciously, looking at Yuan Chang's white ten fingers, they couldn't believe that Yuan Chang could cook.

"Lord, why did you let me go, why didn't you let Zilong or Fengxiao go. ”

Dian Wei didn't care whether Yuan Chang would cook or not, but every time he informed people of something, he let himself go, Dian Wei felt a little unbalanced in his heart, and immediately protested. Because he knew Yuan Chang's temperament, Dian Wei dared to do this, if he changed to other lords, his subordinates dared to disobey the order, and it was estimated that he would be dealt with directly by military law.

Yuan Chang's eyes widened, and he said viciously: "I still have to discuss things with Zilong and Fengxiao, and discussing things is to use your brains, can you?"

Dian Weihu's body was shocked, it was tolerable, it was unbearable, Yuan Chang actually said that he had no brains, how could he accept it.

"Lord, you can beat me and scold me, but you can't insult my wisdom. I'm a dignified eight-foot man, standing up to the sky, who said I have no brains. ”

Dian Wei was so angry that he even abandoned the "I" that he usually talked about, and everyone was dumbfounded. Looking at Dian Wei's mighty and inviolable momentum, if it were someone else, it is estimated that he would have been scared down a long time ago.

"Humph!"

Yuan Chang snorted disdainfully, and Dian Wei even wanted to refute. So, a sneer hung on the corner of Yuan Chang's mouth, "Since this is the case, Hong Fei, you think you have brains, then I will test you." If you can answer it, I will admit that I said the wrong thing, and I will give you a jar of wine, and if you are wrong, I will be honest with me in the future, you know!"

"Okay, it's a deal!"

When Dian Wei heard that there was wine, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his Dian Wei's brain was not as smart as Guo Jia. However, he is not a stupid person, so he can't believe that he can't answer Yuan Chang's question.

"Then I'm going to ask, do you know who Mi's father is!"

Yuan Chang's question was asked, don't say it's Dian Wei, it's just that everyone else is dumbfounded. Does Mi have a father and mother? Who would know about this kind of thing? However, looking at Yuan Chang's appearance, it seems that it is really true. However, in order not to let others think that they have no brains, everyone is very wise to remain silent.

"This... That, my lord, I..."

Scratching his head, Dian Wei hesitated for a long time, unable to say a word. The previous majestic momentum had also dissipated at this moment, and those who were dodging and dodged their eyes didn't dare to look at Yuan Chang. He knew that he shouldn't raise the bar with Yuan Chang, and now that he was being abused, he wanted to die, and it was estimated that no one would dare to help him.

"What, can't you answer?"

Yuan Chang put his hands around his chest, looked at Dian Wei with a wide range of eyes, and looking at his expression, it seemed that he had already known that Dian Wei couldn't answer.

Dian Wei drooped his head and walked towards the provincial village very consciously, it seems that he is really the only one who can do the errand work, "Lord, before I leave, can you tell me who my father and mother are?"

"Humph!"

Yuan Chang raised his head, like an arrogant peacock, just facing Dian Wei with his nostrils. Dian Wei knew that Yuan Chang would not tell himself now, so it seemed that he could only ask again at another time.

"Big brother-in-law, tell people quickly, who is Mi's father and mother!"

After Dian Wei left, Zhen Mi, the little girl, jumped to Yuan Chang's side in a few steps, and her soft arms held Yuan Chang's arms and kept shaking. It's a pity that Zhen Mi is still young now, and there is no scale on her chest at all, if she grows up a little more, it will be good. Of course, Yuan Chang was just thinking about it in his heart, if Zhen Jiang knew his thoughts, there would definitely be no good fruit to eat. Moreover, he will also be regarded as a ** by everyone.

Obviously, Yuan Chang's defense against non-existence is extremely low. No, Zhen Mi asked, and Yuan Chang answered without the slightest hesitation. If Dian Wei was there, he would definitely have to despise it again.

"Peanuts, so the mother of the rice is the flower, the butterfly loves the flower, so the father of the rice is the dish, you understand, the answer is not very simple. ”

“…”

Everyone has a speechless expression, such a question, even the smartest person is estimated to be difficult to answer. It's not that the problem is difficult, but the thinking process is too tortuous. Yuan often asks the question of brain teasers in later generations, which is relatively difficult for people in today's era to understand.

While Yuan Chang and the others were discussing here, Han Sui's obstacle course training was also over. The results are still good, basically completed in about 2 minutes and 10 seconds, and many people only took 2 minutes. Of course, there are a few people who take no more than 2 minutes, and they have such results for the first time, which shows that their physical fitness is good.

"Juzi, you give the order, in order to reward them for their hard training, add vegetables today. ”

"Yes, my lord!"

Hearing Yuan Chang say adding vegetables, everyone was immediately excited. Although the usual food is already good, it is rumored that today's dishes were proposed by Yuan Chang, and they are all looking forward to the name they have never heard of.

Killing pigs was not difficult for the villagers, but in about half an hour, the three things that Yuan Chang needed were placed in front of Yuan Chang. Naturally, there is a gang leader army in the barracks, and the amount that Yuan Chang makes is enough for them to eat, and the amount of other young and strong people is naturally solved by the gang leader army. However, before that, Yuan Chang would first tell the man what he was doing.

Yuan Chang's first dish is braised pork with pork belly as the main dish, I believe that most people like the fat and thin, sweet and fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth taste, even if you don't like to eat fatty meat, it is difficult to refuse the delicious dish of braised pork.

In just a few minutes, a fragrant braised pork appeared.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Chang started the second dish, sweet and sour pork ribs.

Sweet and sour pork ribs are moderately sweet and sour, not oily or greasy, rich and delicate in taste, and will not feel the abruptness of any kind of seasoning, which can be said to be the best in home-cooked dishes.

The last course, of course, is braised pig's trotters, and it only takes a little more than a quarter of an hour to complete the pot.

Looking at the three dishes in front of them, which had never been seen before, full of fragrance and bright colors, everyone secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. The color and fragrance alone have conquered them.

"Haha, alright, everyone can eat!"

Yuan Chang and Guo Jia formed a circle, and Liu Xi, Diao Xiuer and the five Zhen sisters sat on the other side. As for the dishes of the young and strong, after seeing Yuan Chang's production method, the man has also begun to cook. They were originally professionals, although they had never made such dishes, but after seeing Yuan Chang's cooking method, they immediately knew how to do it.

When the three pots of delicious dishes were baked, the young and strong people's eyes lit up, and they seemed to be looking forward to it.

"Well, it's delicious, my lord really surprised me!"

Guo Jia tasted a bite of braised pork, and immediately couldn't help but close his eyes and feel it carefully, and couldn't help but praise it after a while. As for Dian Wei, he didn't even have time to speak, and grabbed a pig's trotter with both hands and gnawed it violently.

"Unfortunately, if there is good wine, it will be more perfect!"

Tasting such delicious dishes, Guo Jia sighed and said with a little disappointment. If there is a good wine with such a delicacy, it is really an ultimate enjoyment.

"Haha, I've actually been prepared. ”

Yuan Chang laughed loudly and brought a jar of unopened wine from the carriage of the women.

"This..."

Guo Jia's eyes lit up, and he inhaled hard, the aroma of wine was something he had never smelled before.

"Lord, there is a faint fragrance of osmanthus in this wine, and after smelling it, it makes people feel drunk. Could it be that this is the wine made by the lord himself?"

Yuan Chang has always said that he will make a lot of fine wine, and Dian Wei was also deceived by Yuan Chang into a thief ship like this. It's just that they have never seen Yuan Chang brew wine, why did they suddenly take it out?

In fact, Yuan Chang had already brewed fine wine, but he didn't let Dian Wei and Guo Jia find out. Otherwise, with the temperament of the two, they may drink secretly. Moreover, Yuan often hid the fine wines he brewed in secret places, and it was difficult for Dian Wei and Guo Jia to find them.

"Lord, quickly fill it up for me. ”

Seeing the wine, the pig's trotters were put down by Dian Wei, and he couldn't wait to stretch out the bowl in front of Yuan Chang.

Yuan Chang rolled his eyes speechlessly, but didn't say anything. After all, he promised Dian Wei at the beginning, and he would still do this.

"Woo woo, lord, it's so delicious, bring me another bowl. ”

Dian Wei was so excited, and secretly thought to himself that he really didn't follow Yuan Chang wrong. Not only can he taste such a delicious taste, but also such a fine wine, fortunately he met Yuan Chang on the road, otherwise how could he enjoy these.

A jar of wine was divided by several people, and it was gone in an instant, and Dian Wei saw that the wine had been drunk, and he suddenly had a bitter face.

"Lord, do you have any more, bring another altar!"

"It's gone!"

Yuan Chang said angrily, although Zhao Yun and Han Sui are not as good as Dian Wei and Guo Jia, but the amount of wine is not bad, and it is such a good wine, they are naturally not far behind, one bowl per person, and they will drink it in a blink of an eye. Yuan Chang only brought one jar this time, he didn't bring more, the few people in front of him were all drunkards, and no amount of wine was enough for them to drink.

"Hehe, lord, whether there is still good wine at home, everyone has a share. ”

Dian Wei salivated and said as if flattering. is a lord like Yuan Chang, otherwise how could he speak in such a tone.

Yuan Chang shook his head decisively, he would naturally have wine. However, how could it be possible for Guo Jia and Dian Wei to know that he absolutely believed that the two would do such a thing as stealing wine and drinking.

Although Yuan Chang shook his head and said no, Guo Jia and Dian Wei didn't believe it, and they kept thinking about Yuan Chang's wine in their hearts.

After being full of wine and food, Yuan Chang and his party returned to the county, and everything that should be ordered was ordered. Next, it was time for Yuan Chang to prepare to go to Bohai County. As for Han Sui, he naturally stayed here to continue training young and strong.
