Volume 2: The Beginning of the Young Year Chapter 24 Escort Mission
The delicacies made from this delicious spirit bird are often seen in various grand banquets, and the soup of Baihua chicken is one of the most common ways to eat Baihua chicken.
After plucking the feathers of the Baihua chicken, various nourishing herbs are added to it, and the fire must be controlled at all times, so as not to affect the taste and nutrition, and it is also a home-cooked dish of major family forces, which can be said to be quite popular.
However, the breeding of baihua chickens also requires special feeding methods, as far as Song Feng knows, there are only five places to breed baihua chickens in the huge Tianfu City.
The price of a Baihua chicken is not expensive, at least it has to start at fifty taels of silver, which is equivalent to half a year's income of an ordinary family, and ordinary families cannot afford to eat Baihua chicken at all.
"Uncle Li, this is too extravagant, isn't it?
Song Feng couldn't help but be secretly shocked in his heart, as if he had never eaten such a sumptuous dinner for so many years.
For the sake of the life of the two, Li Bo is also diligent in doing rough work and heavy work for the Ye family, and the amount he can get every month is only a dozen taels, and the usual expenses of firewood, rice, oil, salt and all aspects are not much left in January, but how can he afford to buy Baihua chicken today?
For a moment, Song Feng couldn't help but feel a little puzzled in his heart.
"Feng'er, eat it while it's hot, come, serve more soup and drink, now is the time for you to grow your body, and nutrition can't be left behind." ”
With a kind smile on his face, Li Gang filled a bowl of fragrant Baihua chicken soup and put it in front of Song Feng.
The fragrant and tangy fragrance rushed into Song Feng's nostrils, stimulating his taste buds, Song Feng couldn't help but move his index fingers, and hurriedly picked up the bowl in front of him, ignoring the boiling heat of the soup, and swallowed it in a big gulp.
Call!
I exhaled a breath of white air, only to feel warm all over my body, and the delicious taste seemed to remain between my lips and teeth, and the aftertaste was endless.
"Eat slowly, there's a lot more!"
Li Gang took out a rare jar of wine from the back room that had been hidden for a long time and was usually reluctant to drink, gently brushed off the thick layer of dust on the lid, opened it carefully, and a rich aroma of wine filled the entire room.
Li Gang poured himself a glass of wine, because Song Feng was too young to drink for the time being. Li Gang drank wine and ate food, the conversation box was opened all of a sudden, and he talked about a lot of things, including previous experiences and things that have happened in recent years, from Li Gang's narrative, Song Feng also knew the reason why today's meal was so rich.
It turned out that the Ye family recently had an escort mission, escorting an important person of the Ye family to Chixi Prefecture, which is adjacent to Hongyu Prefecture, where Tianfu City is located.
According to some rumors of gossip, the Ye family's big move was to marry the Sun family, another famous family in Chixi Prefecture, in order to obtain the support of the Sun family and make the development of the Ye family go further.
The Sun family is said to be one of the largest families in Chixi Prefecture, and it is rumored that there are even primordial and old monsters in their family, and the family power also has a certain reputation in the entire Tianyuan Kingdom, and the Ye family is a little insignificant compared to it.
The Ye family is also recruiting guards to participate in the escort mission during this time, it is said that this mission is fattened, and each person in the escort team can not only get a hundred taels of silver rewarded by the Ye family, but also get an additional reward from the Sun family after arriving at the Sun family.
Although I don't know what the reward is, but the reward of the Ye family alone is so rich, and the Sun family, which is countless times stronger than the Ye family, can the reward be less?
Countless guards flocked to it, but only a few of them were selected in the end, and there were only seven guards in the servant's courtyard who could pass, all of whom were highly cultivated and experienced warriors.
It can be seen that the strictness of its selection and the importance of the Ye family. Li Gang didn't have any hope to sign up, but he was unexpectedly selected.
Li Gang couldn't believe it at all, and when he was told that the personnel who could carry the goods participated in this escort mission, and at the same time received a hundred taels of silver at the guard registration office, his mind was still dizzy and he walked on the road.
Li Gang, who was in a very good mood, went back to the city for the first time and bought a hundred flower chickens, bought a bunch of nourishing medicinal materials, and bought some spiritual fruits, and returned to the servants' courtyard.
"I'm just a little relieved of you, the time required for this escort mission is not short, from Hongyu Prefecture to Chixi Prefecture, to say the least, there are several months of travel, and there are thousands of beasts along the way, I am afraid that there will be a delay in the middle of the road. ”
"I heard that there may be bandits along the way, no wonder the Ye family has recruited so many guards, but I heard that the three elders of the Ye family will also follow the team to escort them over, the three elders are strong, and they are also in the top five masters in the Ye family, but they are not worried about the safety on the road. ”
Li Gang took a sip of wine and said helplessly. He was in a good mood to be able to get this fat difference, but when he thought that no one had taken care of Song Feng during this time, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, he couldn't take Song Feng to Chixi Province together, and it was estimated that the Ye family would not allow it.
"Well, it's okay, don't worry, Uncle Li, I'm not a child anymore, I can take care of myself, you can rest assured to complete the task." ”
Song Feng chewed the food in his mouth, and at the same time replied to Li Gang's words with some slurred speech.
Belch~
Song Feng, who was full of food and drink, couldn't help but burp, returned to the house satisfied, and after chatting with Xuan Gu in the Xuan Pupil, he fell asleep deeply.
Nothing was said all night.
Following. Li Gang got up early in the morning, simply packed his luggage, and brought some coils that needed to be used on the road, while Song Feng also got up very early, simply ate breakfast, and followed Li Gang and several other guards in the servant's courtyard to the gate of the Ye Mansion.
Outside the gate of the Ye family, there were already many people standing bustlingly, and behind everyone, at a cursory glance, there were about ten carriages.
At the same time, some people were carrying boxes of large boxes made of sandalwood and painted red paint to load the carriage, and a middle-aged man in a blue robe, with a hard face and a mustache, was directing.
In the middle of these many carriages, the shape of a carriage is extremely conspicuous, the whole is carved by precious fragrant wood, the surface of it is just like a huge flaming bird spreading its wings to fly, its tail feather is wrapped and covered down, the best silk is just right to cover the scenery in the car, it seems noble and graceful.
The breeze was blowing, and a trace of fragrance spread, and it was obvious that a woman was sitting in the carriage.
When the middle-aged man saw Li Gang coming, he shouted at Li Gang to help carry the box.
Not long after, on the steps paved with green granite outside the gate of the Ye family, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face appeared, looking at his luxurious satin robe, with the golden leaf character tattooed on his chest, it was the great elder of the Ye family, Ye Yue.
"Third Elder, I'll leave it to you along the way. If you have anything, please contact us with the sound transmission jade note. Ye Yue arched his hand slightly and said to the middle-aged man with a beard in the distance.
The three elders also nodded slightly when they heard this, and after everything was sorted out, they rode a tall horse, and at the front of the team, the whole team set off.
