Chapter 435: Eating Fish

Dead people or something, that's the Yamen's business, and they have nothing to do with Hongchen, but those who were unfortunately implicated and trapped in it had to be saved. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Wang Yi was purely unlucky, he was talking about business with several snakeheads in the capital, and he was arrested by mistake when he encountered the government's crazy arrest.

The others are all trivial things, just fights and brawls, before the change, those poor men in the yamen were too lazy to take care of it, and this time they just happened to bump into it.

There is no need for Lin Xu to come forward in person, he can't either, there are a few of them who are buried very deeply, as soon as he shows up, those few will be wasted, but this is not a difficult matter, those little officials in the yamen just want to take the opportunity to scavenge some money, give them some oil and water, and they can almost come out, and the people under him are nervous, because they are afraid that there will be other problems here.

Lin Xu pondered for a moment, and just told the big guys to be careful recently and not to act rashly.

"Wang Yi and them, let Old Man Wang come forward to get people back, keep a low profile, and don't give too much money."

"Got it."

These disciples of Guigu are also shrewd, capable, and experienced masters, and they know very well that if this money is given too much, it is easy for those errand people to be worried, in case they come up with a bad idea to get people in and cheat some oil and water, wouldn't it be very troublesome?

It's not light or heavy, and if you can finish the matter, you can complete the task.

This matter is boiling over, and even the festive atmosphere of the upcoming New Year can't suppress the tense atmosphere in the capital.

A household servant can be regarded as a member of the imperial court, but in the capital, it is said that he is not such a very important person, but the family is backed by the prince, there is a good master, and the king of Qi is famous for his love and righteousness, and he takes care of all the people under his hands, this Cai Shilang has been with the prince for decades, from the time when he was still a small showman, he is the die-hard loyalty of the third prince, all the way to the top of the master's momentum, seeing that he has just been a waiter at forty, and it is not impossible to go one step further, such a powerful subordinate is inexplicably damaged, King Qi is estimated to be heartbroken.

So whether it's for fame, or for face, or for something else, King Qi wants to go crazy, and no one can stop him.

"Miss, Chinese New Year's Eve, let's still eat pots?"

Luo Niang saw that her master had found a lot of pots from the craftsmen at home, but they were not exquisite, as long as they could be used, they were very rough.

"Then there's no need to build so much, this will have to be used in the Year of the Monkey." Xiao Yan was a little distressed for a while.

The money in the family is not blown by the wind, their master can make money, but he also spends a lot, especially recently, first take out a large part of the relief to the victims, and then buy a dowry, if it is not for the queen's mother subsidy, I am afraid that the family will be a little stretched.

"It's not for us."

Hongchen said with a smile, "For the New Year, give some benefits to the farmers in our Zhuangzi, and, if there are left, also send some to the more difficult victims." ”

An iron pot is also a very valuable item in an ordinary farmer's house, because it is bulky, most of the victims who fled are afraid that they did not carry the pain, except for the young and strong, who can carry the pot on their backs for a long journey.

It just so happened that the workshop in Hongchen Zhuangzi recently tried to make new weapons, tested a lot of materials, and also made a lot of unqualified scrap iron, with the idea of waste utilization, Hongchen asked the craftsmen to create some living utensils, what iron pots, shovels, scissors, kitchen knives, and some messy farm tools.

This year's New Year, the dealer will send this, and you can also save the reward, Luo Niang was happy when she heard it: "Our county lord will live." ”

This is good, not only can you save money, but the dealers are also happy.

"As for Chinese New Year's Eve meal...... Let's eat fish. ”

Hongchen thought for a while and said, "The palace banquet in the palace is estimated to be not delicious, and when we come back, let's go and have a good meal, and we won't do it at home." ”

This year's palace banquet is one day earlier, it is the mother's proposal, probably her old man also wants to get together with the people close to her family during the New Year, and she is not happy to see a bunch of people to watch what fireworks and songs, and after watching those years, she has long felt that it is not interesting.

The county lord wants to eat fish, and Luo Niang naturally will not object.

Everyone was busy working, and soon it was the end of the year, and Hongchen had to work hard to give gifts next to each other, and he received more gifts than in previous years, and the newly opened warehouse was a little unable to fit.

Luo Niang and Xiao Yan were a little frightened, it was really too heavy for others to give this year's gifts, there was a feeling that Jinshan Yinshan was desperately moving home, Hongchen sighed: "They give it heavy, we have to return more gifts, they are all fair trades." ”

With a group of female officials to register and make a book, this number is too much, everyone is a little numb, rare treasures, antiques, piled up, falling on the paper, only stiff writing, finally all registered, female officials are tired and panting, wrists are sore, even if you look at those jewels, you can't lift the strength to shine your eyes.

But don't worry about the New Year's gift to the queen, Hongchen picked out a few jade bone blank fans from the gifts received, splashed ink, painted a lot of flowers and birds, and a few landscape paintings, and the most beautiful is a beauty fan, which is painted with the queen mother when she was young, dressed in armor, hanging a sword, majestic.

Luo Niang and the others liked it very much when they saw it, and they decided to follow suit.

They give gifts to each other, naturally they don't use expensive fans, just take ordinary try hands, a group of people are addicted to playing, for a while all kinds of beauties fly around, and then let go more openly, the beauties unconsciously put on all kinds of wonderful dresses, Xiao Yan put on a safe skin, Luo Niang became a flower butterfly, and the appearance of other female officials is also ever-changing, Hongchen looked at it and smiled back and forth, deeply touched the extraordinary creativity of people.

Since it is so fun, thinking that it is better to be happy alone than to be happy, Hongchen took a big box, packed up the folding fans drawn by the girls and sent them to the palace to be admired by the queen mother, and she could only let the mother see it.

On the day of the palace banquet, Hongchen entered the palace, and he was not in a hurry to go over, so he went to Ganquan Palace to give gifts to his mother.

Except for the fan she made a small kang screen, the fan painted for the mother, and the fan played by these female officials, there was nothing else.

Niangniang really likes it very much, especially this batch of quite joking fans, and also plays with the little palace maids in her palace, those little palace maids are naturally happier, not to mention being painted, it is really a kitten and a puppy, which can make Niangniang happy, and enter the eyes of Niangniang, in their opinion, it is also a great thing.

I had a good time, and even the banquet to the palace was not so boring, as usual, I didn't need much food, and the wine was just a lip stick, and after enjoying the fireworks, the mother let the red dust out of the palace.

"You go play, you know what whole fish feast you are thinking about, it's better to eat less today, so as not to get tired of panicking."

Hongchen also smiled: "When I learn how to do it, I'll come back and make it for my mother." ”

In fact, the whole fish feast, the imperial chef in the palace will definitely do it, and it can do it very well, but the problem in the palace, to make a fish, there are hundreds of ingredients alone, so that people can eat it in their mouths, and they don't know if it is fish, it is not delicious, but Hongchen feels that his stomach is the stomach of mortals, and he can't enjoy those big tonic things.

In terms of taste, the queen mother is very similar to Hongchen, she usually fires in the small kitchen, and she refuses to eat every day no matter how well she cooks the things in the imperial dining room, and it is no problem to try it once in a while.

After attending the night banquet in the palace, the year was almost the same, and the next day, Hongchen took a few greedy female officials from his own family, and Lin Xu and the group of people under him, Hao Hao Tang Tang to kill the restaurant he had been to the last time.

The restaurant is not famous in the capital, can do fish, is indeed a must, the New Year, the common people also pay attention to more than a year, other restaurants are almost closed, his family is still open, there are a few children and daughterless old people simply get together in one place for the New Year, Hongchen set a big meal in the morning, is the whole fish feast, open the door to do business, guests come to the door is a good thing, even if the New Year, the proprietress does not have the habit of pushing the guests out, early in the morning began to work, and so on Hongchen and their group came over, the whole lobby is lit up, There was a jubilant atmosphere, the tables were side by side, and everyone was spacious.

In the middle is a steaming charcoal basin, on which is a huge grilled fish, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, full of aroma.

The fragrance hooked up so that a few guests around were also drooling, and couldn't help but order a few more dishes, they can't afford to eat such big fish, and they can still eat anything else, this place is good and cheap, and it won't be too painful to eat once in a while.

Hongchen took a deep breath and beckoned everyone to sit down and eat, Lin Xu didn't wait to say hello, he had already put down his chopsticks, and took a few bites into his stomach steadily, and the cold air was swept away, and everyone exhaled and chatted lazily.

"Meow."

A ginger kitten suddenly came out from under the table, Hongchen blinked, looking at the fat kitten was very cute, he couldn't help but reach out and fish, fished it into his arms, and gave it a fish head.

The kitten barked softly and began to eat the fish slowly and methodically, which was actually quite elegant.

"Huh?"

The guests next to him were very strange, "This is the cat raised by Sun Qing, but I haven't seen it get close to others!" ”

"No, it's usually fierce, no one wants to touch it."

The guests were amazed.

"It's not surprising that this guest is a good person, and it's normal for the goats to like people." The tall man came out from behind, still carrying a jug of wine, and a jug was thrown on the table of the regular customers.

The guests were immediately happy, and joked while drinking: "Look, our grandson has also learned to make sycophants, according to what you say, haven't we all become bad people?" Our old Guo has never said that he eats fasting and recites Buddha all his life, but he has never done anything wrong, if you want to say that I am a wicked person, I don't admit it. ”

It's all a joke, and it's all over the place.

Hongchen also smiled, fed the kitten fish to eat, and put it on the empty table over there to play, Luo Niang took a handkerchief, asked for a basin of hot water for her master to wash his hands, and was wiping, when he heard a staggering footsteps.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, a cold wind came to the face, there was a mustache, a middle-aged man dressed as a family member broke in, and shouted when he entered the door: "Wine, give me two pots of wine, his grandmother's, those grandsons eat and drink spicy, and celebrate the New Year, but our brothers can't stop ......"

"Meow!!"

Before the words fell, the kitten's fur on the table stood up, its tail stood up, and it flew towards the family, scratching it with one paw.

"Ahh

The family was in a hurry, and swept away the small thing with a wave of his arm, but the clothes were still torn, but the kitten was beaten upside down by him and flew out, and that Sun Qing didn't know when he appeared nearby, just catching the cat.

The family was furious: "Damn beast, his grandmother's, even you dare to bully Lao Tzu, today Lao Tzu doesn't pick your skin, I won't be surnamed Gou!" ”

His eyes were red, and he rushed over to grab the cat, but Sun Qing took a step back just to avoid it, with a warm smile on his face, and casually stuffed something into this person's hand.

The family was stunned, it turned out to be a piece of silver, looking at at least two taels, he couldn't help but stop and looked Sun Qing up and down.

"This little thing is wild, why do you have to be like it, this is to make amends for your sins." Sun Qing greeted and asked the shopkeeper to bring the wine over, "Please drink and record it in my account." ”

The family bared his teeth, and he was much calmer: "Yes, look at your face." As he spoke, he glared at the cat and turned away.

"Meow, meow."

The kitten struggled, looking very flustered, Sun Qing patted its head and sighed: "Okay, okay, who makes the family a human, you are a cat, let's have a good life." ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, Hongchen always felt like a few tears had fallen from the kitten's eyes.

After such a fuss, the atmosphere in the restaurant was also a little bad, and the guests next to him said a few bad words: "I know that guy, isn't it that Gou Dashun from Cai's house?" Something that bullies!"

"It's strange, what is he running out for the New Year?"

"Why else, eighty percent of them are going to catch dogs, their lord loves to eat dog meat the most, and he can't eat it for a day, and he specializes in eating other people's domestic, saying that it is fragrant, there is no miscellaneous taste, Gou Dashun's kid is good at catching dogs, and he will also train, so he entered the eyes of their master."

These regular customers are obviously familiar with this family.

"No, Cai Shilang is not all, it's all gone, and he's still catching a fart dog!"

"I know this, the old lady of the Cai family said that his son loved to eat this bite before his death, and every New Year's holiday, the family should make more of it, so that her son can enjoy it, don't look at the fact that people are dead, the things that should be enjoyed are still the same, much better than those of us who are big and alive."

They talked a lot, and Sun Qing walked slowly back to the place where he usually sit, holding the kitten in his arms, stroking it for a while, and whispering something.

Hongchen ate two bites of fish, sighed, and said softly: "It's a big New Year, don't make any big mess." (To be continued.) )
