Chapter 20: It's Time to Leave

When Bai Tang heard the news, he was surprised to pay attention to this cheap apprentice, and naturally saw Jia Zhu's drill in front of the military department. To tell the truth, Jia Zhu's marksmanship is very skilled, but the lethality is not great. Bai Tang was worried about the safety of his cheap apprentice, and finally escaped a death catastrophe, did he still have to die young and let Li Kun be the **? Just as the system released another task, Bai Tang directly found Jia Zhu.

"I have a set of knife techniques here, teach you!" Bai Tang took out a skill book from his bag and handed it to Jia Zhu. This book was bought in the mall, and it cost Bai Tang a thousand taels of gold, and she felt sorry for her.

"Thank you, thank you, master!" Jia Zhu held the skill book and was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. Every time he encounters a crisis, the master will appear to help him, and the master is his nobleman!

Bai Tang smiled, stood up and was about to leave.

Jia Zhu hurriedly stayed: "Master, my wife has prepared a banquet, master stay and drink two glasses." The disciple has not yet given a toast to the master. ”

Bai Tang tilted his head: "Okay!" ”

Bai Tang has long been greedy for the food in "Dream of Red Mansions", you must know that Cao Dada spent nearly one-third of the time describing food culture, and Bai Tang was hungry when he read the book.

Li Kun prepared a large table of dishes: ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup, ham stewed elbow, white fungus pigeon eggs, chicken pith bamboo shoots, bad goose paw duck letter, fried wolfberry sprouts with oil and salt, crispy quail, eggplant...... All of them appear in the original book.

What Bai Tang wants to eat the most is the eggplant, this eggplant is "the eggplant that has just been picked off the skin, as long as the meat is cleaned, cut into dices, fried with chicken oil, and then use the chicken breast meat and mushrooms, new bamboo shoots, mushrooms, spiced dried curd, all kinds of dried fruits, all cut into dices, simmer dry with chicken soup, collect the sesame oil, add bad oil and mix, put it in a porcelain jar and seal it tightly, take it out when you want to eat, mix it with fried chicken melon", it tastes like no eggplant taste. In the book, after Grandma Liu ate eggplant, she once said: "Don't coax me, eggplant comes out of this flavor, and we don't need to grow food, only eggplant." ”

Another dish I want to eat the most is chicken pith bamboo shoots, which is a treasure in the recipe of the Red Mansion, and it is quite troublesome. To choose fine bamboo shoots, rinse them in cold water, cut them in half vertically to remove the bamboo shoots, put them in a pot of boiling water to cook, season and let them cool. Peel and remove the tendons of the chicken breast, beat it into minced chicken with the back of a knife, add egg whites and scallion oil, season and stir in one direction. Remove the chicken thighs, knock the leg bones apart, take out the bone marrow with a toothpick, put it in a pot, add rice wine, ginger juice, sugar and boil to remove the fishy smell, and then change the clear soup and simmer thoroughly. Rub the chicken powder on the bamboo shoots, put the chicken bone marrow on top of it, garnish with coriander and the like, put it on a greased plate and steam it for two or three minutes. After steaming, pour the original soup into the pot, adjust the flavor, thicken the thickener, drizzle with chicken fat, and the dish is ready. Elegant, clear, and nutritious, the chicken pith bamboo shoots are from the seventy-fifth chapter of "A Dream of Red Mansions" "The night banquet is sad and sad, and the new words of the Mid-Autumn Festival are good": Mandarin duck pointed to those dishes and said: "I can't see what these two things are, and the old man sent them." This bowl is chicken marrow shoots, which was sent by the old man outside. ”

"Master, this pheasant melon seeds are good, you can taste them." Jia Zhu pointed to a plate of dishes and greeted Bai Tang.

Bai Tang looked at the pheasant melon seeds similar to fried chicken, and searched for the source in the original book in his mind: pheasant melon seeds are from the forty-ninth episode of "White Snow and Red Plum in the Glass World, Fat Powder Fragrant Baby Cuts Fishy Meat". After the snow, Li Kun, Baoyu and other newcomers Xing Xiuyan, Xue Baoqin, Li Wen, Li Qi and others gathered at Luxue Pavilion the next day to compose poems. The next morning, Baoshan was in a hurry, so he only took tea to make a bowl of rice, and hurriedly finished eating it with pheasant and melon seeds. Jia Mu said: "I know that you have love again today, and you don't even want to eat."

"This plate is steamed lamb with milk, right?" Bai Tang pointed to a dish with chopsticks, "This dish is relatively hot, and it is not suitable for young people, so you better not eat it." ”

Jia Zhu's face flushed slightly: "I heard in the kitchen that I entertained the master, thinking that you were an elderly person!" ”

Bai Tang smiled and said that he didn't mind, and thought in his heart that he would sneak into the kitchen and pack the steamed lamb with milk back to replenish the body of Bai Dad and Bai Ma.

"Master, I toast you with a cup, thank you for giving me the elixir and saving my life." Jia Zhu poured a full glass of wine and respectfully served it in front of Bai Tang.

Baitang's alcohol consumption is very poor, and he will get drunk with a glass of beer. At this time, looking at the clear liquor in the white jade wine glass, smelling the rich aroma of wine, the corners of his mouth twitched. Can she not drink it?

Bai Tang took the wine glass and drank it all.

Jia Zhu served the second glass of wine: "Master, thank you for the second cup of martial arts and let me strengthen my body!" ”

Bai Tang secretly took a breath, then took the wine glass and drank it dry.

"The third glass of wine to the master, thank you for your concern for me!"

After three glasses of wine, Bai Tang put down the wine glass and held a face: "Before going to the battlefield, you must practice the knife technique!" Okay, I still have something to deal with, let's go first, no need to send it! ”

After speaking, in the next second, Bai Tang disappeared into the living room in full view of everyone (the subordinates of the Jia family).

"The master is really a dragon, but he can't see the end!" Jia Zhu sighed.

"Uncle!" Jia Zhu's entourage Yun Yan fought with his upper and lower teeth, and asked tremblingly, "Is this Bai Gongzi a god or a monster?" ”

"I don't know, the master is not a god or a monster, he just used light skills!" Jia Zhu raised his face and slapped Yun Yan's head.

"Yes, yes, the little ones don't have knowledge. But uncle, what is light work? Why did Bai Gongzi suddenly disappear? Yun Yan covered his head and asked. Not only was he curious, but the other subordinates serving in the hall were also curious, and they all pricked up their ears to listen to Jia Zhu's explanation. What a good subject for gossip! When you understand how the guests left, you can brag to the other people that you have seen the masters.

"Light Gong is a kind of martial arts, and people who can use Light Gong can jump to the roof of the house with one jump, and the speed is as fast as the wind!" Jia Zhu actually didn't know what the power of light gong was, so he could only tell the servants according to his own understanding.

"Oh!" The servants understood. So, half a day later, various rumors began to circulate in the capital that the speed of light power was comparable to that of a BMW of thousands of miles.

Bai Tang didn't know this, she was sleeping! Holding his breath and running back to his residence from Jia's house, Bai Tang fell on the bed at once, and slept for three days before waking up. Drinking the sobering soup boiled by Aunt Ma, Bai Tang rubbed his temples. Who said that there wasn't much alcohol in ancient sake? This ancient good wine is long and mellow, full of stamina, and it is better than the current Moutai. Maybe you can take a few jars home and give them away. Daddy Bai rarely drank alcohol, but he had medicinal wine, and occasionally drank a glass or two - you could bring some medicinal herbs back to Daddy to brew wine, the medicinal effects of ancient herbs must be stronger than modern ones, and there are no fake medicines; The uncle-in-law and the third and fourth uncles all like to drink, and give each of them a jar; The eldest aunt, second aunt, sister-in-law and eldest uncle are not fond of drinking, so they can each give a small bottle to taste......

"Childe, the embroidery you want has been made!" An Ping entered the door and said.

"So fast?" Bai Tang was surprised, how long has it been?

An Ping said: "The main reason is that the son gives a lot of wages, and the embroidery girl and the carpenter have all accelerated their speed in order to get the money as soon as possible." ”

"Can the quality be guaranteed?"

An Ping hurriedly said: "The old slave has been accepted, all of them are qualified, and there is no cutting corners." ”

"That's good! Bring two in and show me! ”

"Yes!" An Ping retreated, and after a while, he walked in with a two-foot-high embroidered screen, followed by An Dongming and Ma Shi, and the two boys carried a large floor-to-ceiling screen.

Both are double-sided embroidery, the embroidery screen is an interstitial screen of rosewood, and the circular embroidery screen is embroidered with "happy eyebrows" (that is, magpies and plum blossoms) on one side, and "rich and auspicious" (peony flower pattern) on the other side. The floor-to-ceiling screen is a bracket made of yellow rosewood, two meters high and three meters wide, one side of the embroidered screen is embroidered with ink landscapes, and the other side is embroidered with pine cranes to prolong the years.

Bai Tang's eyes were glued to the two embroidery screens, and he looked at the two embroideries up and down, left, left and right, and looked carefully, but did not find a place to find fault. Bai Tang is satisfied, the ancient people are real.

"Yes, I'm satisfied. You give them an extra layer of wages, which is their reward, but they don't have to rush as much as they do now. I need these embroideries for a long time, and I don't want them to wear themselves out. ”

"Childe is benevolent!" Anping thanked Baitang for the workers. He was glad in his heart that he had followed a good master, and not only treated them well, but also delegated power to him. Whose master would give such power to a slave?

"Carrying all the embroidery to the wagon, I am going on a long journey. During this time, the home and shop will be handed over to you. By the way, is the money I gave you enough? Bai Tang asked. She had already determined that it would take half a month to replenish the energy consumed by a trip back and forth to the Gate of Time and Space, which meant that she would not be able to return to the Red Mansion World after a year.

"Enough, enough." An Ping said hurriedly. Bai Tang gave him 5,000 taels of silver at the beginning, and opened a shop to buy goods to find an embroidery girl carpenter and send labor...... A lot of expenses were spent but more than 3,000 taels, and there were still more than 1,000 taels left, enough for the shop and the family. The average person's annual consumption is only one hundred taels of silver.

Bai Tang still took out three thousand taels of silver to Anping and asked him to make an emergency.

"I've been there for a year, and I don't know what's going to happen in the meantime. You can handle emergencies with a little more money. ”

Anping was grateful for Bai Tang's trust, clutched the silver ticket tightly, and swore that he would live up to the value of his master.

"If something really happens, you can go to Jia Zhu, the eldest young master of Jia Mansion, or you can go to the Xue family, Xue Pan, the young master of the Xue family, and Jia Zhu are both my disciples."

An Ping was surprised, he had already guessed that his master was extraordinary, but he didn't expect the background to be so powerful.

"The old slave knows!" At ease, he felt that the shop could be operated freely.
