The lights in Yao Xitong's room have not been turned off, and the map outlined by Su Su has long been familiar with it but has nothing to gain. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 After some hard thinking, he tried to replace the houses with numbers, the streets with graphics, and a new formation evolved from the Nine Palaces Bagua Array jumped out of the paper. "Whew......" he let out a long breath, impressed by the talent of the arrangers. Uncle He, who was napping like an old cat on the side, suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "Has Childe found the formation eye?"

"Of course, don't look at who I am, it's hard to get me for this little thing?" He Bo was stunned by Yao Xitong, and waited until he was enough narcissistic before asking, "Let's break the formation tomorrow?"

"Don't worry, wait a few days. ”

The ghost town array is under Yao Xitong's nose. I remember that when Xiao Baoer was roasting a leg of mutton, she saw one of the two gluttonous brothers push open the door of a room in the backyard, she chased out but found that there was a street outside the door, there was no room at all, there was a ghost town, and it was also the place where gluttony went back every day. If you want to break the formation, you have to confront gluttony head-on, He Bo is bound to expose his martial arts, and he will not do this kind of loss-making business until he has to do it.

He stopped talking, and closed his eyes sleepily like an old cat and curled up in the shadows of the room.

Xiao Baoer heard that Yao Xitong was going to cook the mongoose for dinner, so she hurried to the kitchen and watched him be the chef. I saw him put the mongoose into the pot of boiling water and rolled it around, took it and put it aside to drain the water, and when the water vapor dried, burn the hair with fire, put it in a basin of clean water to scrape off the dirt, drain it again, and then put the chopped mongoose into the hot oil and stir-fry. The spatula flew over, and the seasonings that had been prepared were sprinkled into the pot like snowflakes, most of these seasonings had been ground into powder, and Xiao Baoer only knew that one of them was the best Huadiao.

He Bo on the side had already cooked the snake meat, Yao Xitong took it and brushed it with his hands, and in an instant the flesh and bone separated, he cut the snake meat into thin strips, and the snake bone was wrapped in cloth and thrown into the soup pot where the mongoose was boiled before. Xiao Bao'er knew a lot of snakes, and when she saw that Yao Xitong was cutting at least two kinds of snake meat under her knife, she couldn't help but ask: "We can't get out, where does this snake meat come from?"

"Catch it!"

"It's already winter, how can there be a snake for people to catch? Besides, who will catch it, gluttony?"

"The mongoose's body can resist poison, snakes, insects, rats and ants are their food, why do you think I am wasting food to raise it? ”

"This snake is leftover from a mongoose?"

"Pretty much. Yao Xitong fished out half a bird from the pot again, "Dragon and Tiger Dou want to completely remove the fish, the best way is to add chicken, I can't find chicken, so I have to make do with this half of the wild bird." As he spoke, he removed a few strands of meat from the half bird, which was less than the size of a palm, and threw it directly into the hot oil and fried it before throwing it into the soup pot to stew with the mongoose. Thinking that this pot was all leftover food scraps eaten by mongooses, Xiao Baoer said with dignity, "I eat buns at noon." ”

"It's all family, why are you so polite?"

"What do you mean?"

"You've eaten ants, young mice, and bamboo insects, so why do you leave the snakes aside? Yao Xitong didn't say that it was okay, after he mentioned this, Xiao Bao'er suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach. The ants are okay, swallowing the young rats, and the feeling of the bamboo Gu being bitten is really bad.

"Leather jacket, do you want to be so annoying?"

"Shouldn't I have told you this? If it weren't for you, how could I, a well-endowed literati, become a cook?"

"You're going to take the ancient road!"

"You have to marry me!"

Xiao Bao'er knew that she was at a loss, and she thought for a long time before she said, "Why don't you go to the gluttony in a while, tell them my true identity, and let them go to Beiliao to ask my father for some benefits, you think this is feasible?"

"No, I can't. ”

"What then?"

"Don't bother me in the kitchen cooking, play with your monkeys. ”

"He's not a monkey, he's my apprentice. ”

Xiao Bao'er left obediently, and Uncle He quipped: "The little princess is very interesting, the old slave has not seen the son so ridiculous for a long time." ”

Yao Xitong stopped what he was doing and raised his eyebrows to look at Uncle He, "What do you mean by this?"

"The old slave thinks that Childe can try to get along with the little princess, maybe she will like you as much as she likes Qingshan-kun. ”

"Well," Yao Xitong nodded, and Uncle He's eyes lit up, so he heard him say, "What if she knew that I had given her the heir medicine?" Uncle He's expression stiffened, how could he forget about it, "Since Childe can be drugged, he naturally has a way to find an antidote." ”

"Uncle He, don't forget that she is from Northern Liao, once the news of the Empress Dowager spreads, the Northern Liao Iron Cavalry will soon break through the rivers and mountains of Daxia and talk to a foreign race, is it necessary?"

He Bo didn't agree with his words, but he didn't refute it, silently turned around and continued to burn the fire.

There is an allusion to the dragon and tiger fight, at the beginning of the founding of the Great Xia, the Liao army came to attack, and the Xia army went out to meet the enemy on the bank of the Chunjiang River. It was early winter, and neither side had ever fought a water battle, and only waited for the Spring River to freeze before fighting. The general of Daxia watched the Liao soldiers from a distance, and knew that this battle would not please him, so it was convenient for the strategists to discuss how to surrender the soldiers without a fight.

The strategist offered a plan, and I heard that the warriors of the Liao State were good at shooting, so why not each side shout that they would use archery to decide the victory or defeat?

The Liao side is also in a hurry, the river has not froze for a long time, the daily food and grass needs are really amazing, and it is not a way to decide the outcome by trying to shoot arrows, and immediately agreed to the arrangement of the Great Xia side.

The two sides sent their boats to row to the center of the river, and after they stopped, they faced each other across the river.

First the Liao general shot three arrows. The first arrow was blocked by the Great Xia soldiers into the river. When the second arrow came, the Great Xia soldier shrewdly flashed his head to the side and released an empty arrow. When the third arrow was fired, the Great Xia soldiers actually held the arrow tightly, which shocked the Liao general in a cold sweat.

When it was the turn of the Great Xia soldiers to release the arrows, this person was calm and calm, and first unhurriedly released two empty arrows to let the other party relax their vigilance. Immediately after that, the third arrow flew out, neither left nor right, hitting the head of the general of the Liao State, and the man immediately died with a whimper. When the news came back to Dadu, the dragon's heart was very happy, calling this thrilling battle "Dragon and Tiger Fight", and ordered the imperial chef to add a dish to the celebration banquet in the name of this.

On that day, the imperial chef made this dish with pork and eel. In the following 100 years, the name of the dish has been handed down, but the methods and patterns have been constantly updated...... Personally, I think that the cat is the tiger and the snake is the dragon, and this is the dragon and the tiger fight......"

Yao Xitong said a lot of nonsense about dragon and tiger fighting before he was willing to open the casserole on the table, and the rich aroma came to his face, and the smell was appetizing.

Xiao Bao'er sniffed it very seriously, and couldn't tell what seasonings were put in this dish at all, she had obviously seen the wine before, but now she couldn't smell the wine, let alone the original fishy and rancid smell of the food. This dish has only a fragrance, and it is a natural aroma that arouses the appetite.

Su Su heard that there was cat meat, and the chopsticks that were halfway up to the middle were withdrawn. Seeing Xiao Bao'er gnawing on the bun, he asked curiously, "Why doesn't the master eat it?" Xiao Bao'er swallowed her saliva, looked at the dry bun and said, "I've eaten too much meat recently, and I'm so tired of panicking." ”

Yao Xitong didn't break it, scooped half a cup of soup and put it in front of the two of them, "Stewed beef in a copper pot, heated evenly, the meat taste is the same." A variety of meats are boiling and entwined in the casserole, and ordinary people's tongues can't taste the difference between these meats. ”

"I don't believe it," Su Su raised the bowl and took a small sip, muttering carefully, and cocking his fingers to show his admiration for Yao Xitong. Xiao Bao'er also raised her fingers at Yao Xitong after following her example, she believed that with Yao Xitong's bad character, sooner or later she would tell Su Su what ingredients this pot of soup was stewed with. If Su Su knew that the cat inside was not a cat, the snake was a dead snake, and the bird was a corpse that smelled a little stinky, he didn't know what it would spit out into.

Gluttony and magpie shared the pot of meat.

When the gluttony appeared, the meat had been eaten, and there was only a little soup residue left, so he scooped it up with a spoon and sniffed it, "The dragon and tiger fight is mainly snakes, and the soup pays attention to a fresh word, and the snake meat must be tender and delicious in the mouth." Your dish is mainly cat-based, supplemented by snake meat, and you have lost the fresh word, but you are better than the ingredients, and a soup is actually put in more than 30 kinds of condiments, which is really painstaking......"

Yao Xitong was secretly frightened when he said this, this is the real glutton, and he can guess how many ingredients he put in just by sniffing his nose. There was also room for talking, and he didn't say that he put so many spices to get rid of the smell of rotten ingredients, thinking that this was the main one who saved Xiao Bao'er that night.

I only listened to the food and continued: "Ming'er, I don't want to eat horse meat, except for horses, the materials in your hands are almost exhausted." You take this, and Ming'er will tell me how to eat it. ”

Yao Xitong took the wooden box with a small arm length and opened it, hurriedly closed it, and said seriously, "I'll think about it tonight." ”

"It's damp and miasma, you should be able to figure out how to eat it. Without waiting for the gluttony to leave, Yao Xitong took the box and hid back in the room. The rest of the people are still the same as yesterday, Xiao Baoer is playing with the monkey, and Magpie and Su Su are going out to explore the way.

The next day, Xiao Bao'er remembered that Yao Xitong was going to cook strange ingredients this morning. What exactly Yao Xitong hid and didn't say, and he didn't see him come out for dinner, and he felt that the box contained something terrible. Xiao Bao'er took the monkey to the lobby excitedly, a group of people were quietly watching something around the table, and when she entered the door, Su Su took the initiative to give up her position.

Yao Xitong sat in the middle, and the wooden box he received yesterday was opened and generously put aside. Seeing that no one cared about the wooden box, Xiao Baoer picked it up and looked at it, the box was empty, and she couldn't see what it had contained, but it smelled muddy. Looking at Yao Xitong again, I saw that he put his hands on the table, pressing an envelope-shaped paper bag under his hand, holding the seal of the paper bag with one hand, and gently scraping the surface of the paper bag with his fingernails.

"What is he doing?" No one answered Xiao Bao'er's question, and Su Su tugged at her sleeve and motioned for her not to speak. "What is so mysterious? I don't let people talk, I just want to know what that thing was last night and how to eat it. ”

Su Su pulled Xiao Bao'er aside, "Master, that thing is in the paper bag on the table, and we are also curious about how to eat it." ”

"Why don't you let me speak?"

Su Su pursed her mouth and said that she didn't know, the longer she got along, the more mysterious Yao Xitong became in her eyes, and now this show is like sacrificing to the gods. Early in the morning, he was called by Yao Xitong to find the gluttonous two, and after coming, he took out a homemade envelope-like paper bag, rubbed open the seal of the paper bag with one hand, and shook the wooden box vigorously with the other hand. After some time, he opened a crack in the box and pointed the paper bag seal directly at the seam, and when everyone saw nothing, he threw the box aside, and began to scratch the paper bag with his fingernails.
