Chapter 34, Dragon Street Dragon Master
Dragon Street is very small, with only one street about a mile long. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The houses on both sides of the street are lined up one after another, and the families of the officers and soldiers of the Dragon Division live here, and the officers and soldiers hurriedly stop to salute the military when they see the general Chilong, and after the salute is completed, it turns back into a bustling flow of people...... Peddlers and pawns are hawking along the streets, snack stalls are lined up on the streets, restaurants and inns are full of people coming and going, and business is thriving, even more lively than many small county towns.
Is this still an army? Can such an army still fight?
Chu Lianjun's face was full of doubts, Qin Muxue was dumbfounded, and Huyan Xiaofeng was speechless......
Chilong explained: "China's military spending has always been tight, and most of the military salaries of the Dragon Division have to be self-raised. The officers and men who are stationed here all the year round inevitably miss their relatives back home, so I have allowed them to bring their families here to settle down and buy homes, grant them land to build houses and cultivate food, and acquiesce to them to do business freely. I manage according to the city and collect a certain amount of taxes, which not only stabilizes the morale of the army but also solves the military salary, killing two birds with one stone! The officers and soldiers made this their home, their families, belongings, and houses here, and they fought extremely bravely, because every step back they took the enemy one step closer to their homeland! “
He was only halfway through speaking, and the people who listened were already stunned, and Huyan Xiaofeng joked: "My cousin-in-law is eclectic in governing the army, and he can fight and do business, it seems that my cousin doesn't have to worry about food and clothing in the future!" Hehe, the stinky girl has a really good eye! “
The commander smiled sweetly, and looked at the red dragon with a pair of big eyes.
"Let's go, let's go shopping around Dragon Street!" Qin Muxue picked up Yang Yu and ran away.
Seeing this, Xiaobai invited Huyan Xiaofeng to go with her, but the latter said that she was not interested, she was so angry that she pursed her lips and yelled to chase after the two.
"At the end of Dragon Street is the barracks, remember to come back for dinner!" The commander shouted to them again and again.
"Uh-huh, got it!"
Xiaobai chased Qin Muxue and Yang Yu in a blink of an eye, the three of them blended into the crowd arm in arm, and the two women looked forward and backward, looking east and west, lest they miss the delicious and fun corners, sometimes screaming strangely, sometimes covering their mouths and laughing......
Yang Yu went shopping with girls for the first time, and was surprised by their walking speed and surging energy, sometimes they couldn't keep up with the rhythm and were pulled hard, and sometimes the two women were violently torn in different directions......
Qin Muxue pointed at the street food, but the seller spread her hands to indicate that she didn't understand Chinese, and she anxiously urged Yang Yu to act as a guide and translator.
"What is this? It's delicious, buy a bowl to eat! “
“…… This is Dali jelly. “
"I also want a bowl, Xiaoyu is the landlord should be treated."
“…… But I don't have any money! “
"Hehe, Ah Yu turned out to be a stingy ghost, today the Khitan beauty invited Dali stingy ghost and Da Song stingy ghost to eat, my great kindness, you have to remember, don't forget!"
“…… But where did you get the money? “
"I won't tell you!"
"Xiaoyu, I secretly saw her find a string of money in the carriage!"
“…… What the? It must be my sister's money! “
"Oops! You two little ghosts, I am taking it from the people and from the people! Besides, Sister Bing's money is Ah Yu's money, and Ah Yu's money is my money, Ah Yu, are you right? You're welcome, eat, eat! Eat more! Hahaha! “
"What about this? It's kind of like noodles, but why is it so white? Come to three bowls. “
“…… This is a rake bait, my favorite to eat! “
"Mmmm, this meat rake is whirring, it's so fragrant!"
"I didn't lie to you, I love to eat this when I was a child, my grandma makes it delicious!"
"This smells of milk, is it skewered with bamboo and roasted? Let's start with three strings. “
“…… This is a roasted milk fan! “
"Wow! It's delicious, it's delicious, three more strings, it's not enough to come again! “
"This one is also baked, it's a rice cake, right?"
“…… No, this is a burnt bait block! “
"I know this, it's Qingmei!"
“…… Yes, sweet and sour! “
"Wow! Just drooling just by looking at it! “
The three foodies were still unsatisfied with eating from the street to the end of the street, and finally the money was spent, so they could only reluctantly leave and go to the military camp of the Dragon Division.
In Chilong's military tent, only Chu Lianjun was resting with Zhao Bing, and there was no one else, the dinner had just been set up, and it was all all kinds of local delicacies in Dali!
There are wild mushrooms freshly picked from the mountain and stewed pheasants, and the unique fragrance of the mushrooms and the rich aroma of the chicken are kneaded together, making people secrete a lot of saliva and open their appetite.
There are fresh fish just caught from Erhai Lake and steamed with red pepper powder, the white pepper of the fish is bright red, and the fish meat is tender and fragrant.
There is also a bright red dripping ham cut into thin slices and sandwiched in layers with milky white quiche slices, and the sesame oil of the ham and the cream of the quiche are perfectly blended.
And, of course, a variety of local snacks......
"I know this is called a milk fan, we ate a lot on Long Street, it's so fragrant and crispy! And this one is called jelly! Xiao Bai happily began to show off, like a few treasures.
Qin Muxue saw that there were still many delicacies that she had never eaten, and her saliva flowed out again, and the round belly that she had just eaten disappeared instantly, she hurriedly pulled Yang Yu to sit at the table, and asked him to introduce what was delicious, and Xiaobai also leaned over and listened carefully.
"That fish is called bowfish, it is a unique fish species in Erhai Lake, with fresh flavor and tender meat, and some will have fish roe in their stomachs."
"The red pepper sprinkled on top of this bowfish smells so good, I'm going to eat more later!"
"Can you eat spicy? It's spicy to you! “
"This pepper looks very spicy, but it's not spicy at all."
"There is also the one called ham, which is a specialty of Nuodeng Ancient Town, which specializes in salt production, and the wild boar meat pickled in deep well brine has a salty and fragrant taste, and after being cut into slices, it is steamed together with the quiche made of goat's milk, and it is eaten together just enough to remove the salty taste of pickling, and add a sweet and creamy aroma."
Chef Yang swallowed a mouthful of saliva as he spoke, he hadn't eaten hometown food for a long time, and his mood was excited, and his taste buds were also excited.
The three of them were salivating around a table full of delicious food, and Chilong came in with the commander, and they greeted Chu Lianjun and Zhao Bing with a smile on their faces.
Huyan Xiaofeng followed, "Xiaoyu, come and help, hahaha!" Look at the wine I found in such a big jar! He was holding a large jar of wine, which weighed about thirty pounds!
Yang Yu helped him open the wine jar, and suddenly a rich aroma of wine came to his nose, which made Qin Muxue unbearable, rushed over and took a big sip into his stomach while leaning at the mouth of the jar, and exhaled for pleasure.
Chilong was amused: "This is our own rice wine brewed by the Bai people in Dali, I buried it in the ground for six years, and today it was dug out by Cousin Huyan with his nose." Hehe, I admire it so much! “
The commander's eyebrows were crooked, and he said coquettishly: "Where is what he smelled, it is obvious that I secretly hinted at him, my cousin loves to drink when he is a child, and he has to get drunk every time, I have accompanied him to be beaten and scolded by my uncle." “
Huyan Xiaofeng was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, only to hear him snickering: "Drink this jar of good wine, even if the two of you have a wedding banquet and a wedding, you can spend candle night in the cave room tonight!" Hehe, the stinky girl doesn't thank me yet! Brother Chilong, this unruly woman of my family will be handed over to you, you must take good care of her! Don't let her be bullied! Don't be bullied by her! Hahaha......"
Qin Muxue suddenly asked: "My cousin is a witness for my cousin, so who is the witness for Brother Chilong?" “
After hearing this, Chilong stared at Chu Lianjun in a blink of an eye, the latter smiled slightly, and said loudly: "How about I be the witness of Chilong's marriage!" “
Everyone applauded, and the scene immediately became lively......
The commander was embarrassed, his face was crimson and he bowed his head silently, and when he looked up, tears were already pouring out of his eyes, but his face was full of happy smiles.
Zhao Bing couldn't help but have mixed feelings, she also asked for a bowl of wine and led Yang Yu to bless Chilong and the commander first, and actually drank all the bowls of wine.
Chu Lianjun was worried about Zhao Bing's body and didn't let her add more wine.
Chilong took the commander's hand and stood up, the two looked at each other affectionately, and then he said: "We are both born in the army, and if we can become a husband and wife today, we must love each other and stay together for a lifetime, and we will never forget our original intentions!" I also wish that Dali and the Great Song Dynasty can always marry the Qin and Jin dynasties, and my beloved wife and I can fight side by side and fight the enemy together! “
"Well said!" Huyan Xiaofeng raised his neck and finished a large bowl of wine.
"I wish you all eternal happiness!" Chu Lianjun first drank the wine that Zhao Bing had filled up again, and then drank his own wine.
"it! Serve! Serve! Qin Muxue's face turned red from drinking, she turned her head and glanced at Xiaobai, "Brother Chilong said well, Dali and Da Song should also be married for a hundred years like little lovers, are you right, Your Royal Highness the Princess!" “
Xiaobai was most afraid of drinking, so he hurriedly echoed: "Brother Chilong is right, my father often said that the outstanding people of Dali want to come and take a look, so I'll take a walk for him and take a look!" Ha ha! “
Yang Yu said coldly: "I think you're here to eat and play!" “
Chilong couldn't hold back a smile and hurriedly said politely: "Today is all Dali's special food, and the little brother has introduced it to the guests!" You must eat and drink well! “
"Brother Red Dragon has worked hard to guard the border! Today, when you get married, I salute you with a bowl of concentric wine! I wish you an early birth to a precious son! Yang Yu lifted the wine bowl and drank it in one gulp.
At this time, Qin Muxue asked curiously: "Brother Chilong, one of you is in Dali and the other is in Dasong, how did you meet?" Can you tell us about it? “
Chilong and the commander looked at each other and smiled, and the commander said with happiness on his face: "Actually, I have a marriage contract with his two parents, agreeing that the same sex will be brothers and the opposite sex will be husband and wife, and our two families have lost contact for twenty years. A year ago, when you were fighting at Yanmen Pass, my uncle was worried that the war would spread to the entire border of the Great Song Dynasty, so he secretly sent me to Chengdu Mansion to inspect. After speaking, he took out a piece of white jade hanging around his neck.
Chu Lianjun was shocked, the commander's piece of white jade turned out to be exactly the same as the white jade he was wearing on his waist, and he hurriedly hid the white jade on his waist in a hurry.
Chilong also smiled and took out a piece of red jade, Qin Muxue's sharp eyes saw the word Linghu engraved on the jade, and immediately understood, she couldn't help but sigh: "I see, you are really destined!" “
Chilong glanced at Chu Lianjun intentionally or unintentionally, and shouted under the slight drunkenness of Huyan Xiaofeng: "Eat wine, eat wine, for your fate!" “
A group of drunkards, you have a bowl and I have a bowl, and in a blink of an eye, thirty catties of good wine will be almost drunk.
"Ah Yu, I also want to go into the cave room with you!" Qin Muxue suddenly said something drunk, causing a burst of laughter in the entire military tent.
Yang Yu heard the blushing heartbeat, and Zhao Bing's face turned pale when he heard it, if it wasn't for the fact that her body hadn't recovered, this fiery woman would definitely beat the two of them up, anyway, she hadn't cleaned up before.
After drinking the last bowl of wine in a blink of an eye, Huyan Xiaofeng stood up suddenly and said, "Cousin-in-law, I came in a hurry this time and didn't bring any dowry, so let's do it, I will give you all the divine soldiers from heaven as a dowry!" “
With the help of divine soldiers, the dragon army is like a tiger with wings!
Chilong was overjoyed: "Thank you, cousin Huyan, this gift is really timely rain!" I thank Zhenxi Mansion for the King of Dali! “
