Chapter 196: Mung Bean Soup

Still in the kitchen.

Qian Yuan scooped up the hot water from the pot, looked at the color carefully, put it to his mouth and carefully sipped it, and then took out a small bag from his waist.

"Leave tomorrow morning, don't go to rest, what else are you going to do?"

The voice suddenly sounded from behind him, Qian Yuan's body stiffened slightly, but his hands kept moving, "It's too hot, just turn out some mung beans, cook some mung bean soup to get rid of the heat." ”

"And what is this?" The guide surnamed Wang leaned in and looked at the small bag.

"Oh, foreign sugar." Qian Yuan threw the candy into the pot and slowly stirred it with a spoon, "I also put some lotus seeds...... The family is quite wealthy. ”

"Tut, big family."

"Not really."

"I mean you...... It's a big family. The guide surnamed Wang shook his head, "Yin Shi's family will also cook some mung bean soup, and you have lotus seeds and foreign sugar." ”

Qian Yuan's face remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "When I was a child, my family still had some money, I didn't like to study, but I couldn't go every day, and my father would beat ......me if I didn't go."

"It's a long way, it takes a long time, my father sometimes sends me, but most of the time it's alone......"

"I was very playful at that time......"

Qian Yuan's thoughts slowly unfolded, and some memories that were already long ago came to his mind.

"Especially in the summer, on the way home...... I went down to the river to swim, climbed the trees to catch it, and often played until it was dark before I came home, my mother reprimanded me, and my father rewarded me with a meal of fried shredded pork with bamboo shoots. ”

Some complicated expressions slowly appeared on the face of the guide surnamed Wang, some soft, a little trance.

"Later, my mother cooked a pot of mung bean soup at noon every day, put some lotus seeds, and set it there cold......"

Qian Yuan's voice became lower and lower, and there was silence in the kitchen.

After a while, Qian Yuan came back to his senses, "It's a pity that the family fell into the middle of the road, and then my father and brother were in Ligang...... I really want to drink a bowl of mung bean soup. ”

The guide surnamed Wang, who seemed to be quite touched, patted Qian Yuan on the shoulder and looked down, "All put it in?" ”

"That's not enough for so many people."

"What a loser." The guide surnamed Wang shook his head, "I have to take care of you when I turn around, do you know how much silver a bag of foreign sugar is worth at sea?" ”

Seeing Qian Yuan's dazed face, the guide surnamed Wang raised two fingers, "At least two acres of land, if you take it to the Wa Kingdom, it will be doubled." ”

"We're not the young master of the Huating Qian family, the candy is still quite valuable."

"You know the man, right?"

"By the way, aren't you also from Huating?"

"I don't know." Qian Yuan was still stirring the mung bean soup with the spoon in his hand, shook his head and said, "I'm not from Huating, I'm from Qingpu, I've only heard of it...... is a well-known young talent in Huating, and it seems that he fought a few battles later? ”

"That's a ruthless character." The guide surnamed Wang sighed: "Jiading killed Xiao Xian in the first battle, Chongde made Xu Hai return in vain, and Linping Mountain made Shen Nanshan vomit blood in anger......"

"It's said that croton is used, but this is an unruly one!"

Qian Yuan's hands trembled a little.

"Fight against us everywhere, but every time you can get the upper hand, not to mention Xu Hai, even Xiao Xian and Shen Nanshan are also quite famous at sea, and now Jiaxing, Songjiang, and Hangzhou are rumored to be our nemesis!"

"However, don't say it, now that the name Qian Yuan is so famous at sea, Xu Hai has offered a reward of three thousand taels of silver, and the owner of the Wufeng ship is not allowed to intrude on Songjiang!"

"Huh?" Qian Yuan looked back in surprise.

"Really." The guide surnamed Wang said with great interest: "It is said that someone took a hexagram, saying that the Qian family is the reincarnation of the broom star, and whoever provokes him will be unlucky!" ”

You're the reincarnation of a broomstick!

Your whole family is the reincarnation of a broomstick!

The corners of Qian Yuan's mouth twitched, and he brought two empty buckets over, poured the hot mung bean soup into it, and took some empty bowls and spoons.

It is now July, which is about the middle of August in the solar calendar, which is the hottest time, and Nanjing is a famous furnace.

Most of the widows living in separate houses were naked, with the doors open, and they were full of irritability when they saw the mung bean soup.

Qian Yuan smiled and scooped the mung bean soup bowl by bowl with a spoon, watching the Japanese robbers drink bowl by bowl, and silently remembered it in his heart.

Seeing that there was still a small half bucket left, Qian Yuan first went to the entrance of the village to send the two sentry over, and finally came to Li Fu's house.

"How do you kid turn your elbow out!" Li Fu pulled Qian Yuan to sit down, "Those are all widows!" ”

"Don't look at what the court says about the Japanese and the Japanese, but most of the leaders on the sea are us, so the Japanese will fight and eat some of our leftovers!"

Qian Yuan reluctantly divided the remaining mung bean soup with them first, and then asked: "I said before that when you get under the city of Nanjing, you can get out, right?" ”

Li Fu glanced at the guide surnamed Wang before nodding, "It has been arranged a long time ago, when the time comes, hide from the limelight, and disguise yourself to go to sea along the Yangtze River." ”

"Although I haven't been to Nanjing, there must be heavy troops, right?"

"That's for sure, it's just a lot of rubbish." The guide surnamed Wang smiled: "Let's just take a walk around the city of Nanjing." ”

"But there's going to be a fight, right?" Qian Yuan sighed: "Brother Li, you are a person who can keep up, but others may not, if you are caught, it will be death!" ”

"Someone else?"

"The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled." Qian Yuan looked at the guide surnamed Wang, "I am weak, you are sick and disabled." ”

"You ......," the guide surnamed Wang glared.

"Hey, hey, it's really, after all, there are few of us, in case anyone is caught...... Li Fu gave a thumbs up to Qian Yuan, "Let the Japanese people be in front, let's find a chance to slip away...... I can't see it, and I'm also a traitor in my heart! ”

Qian Yuan glanced at the bowl on the table, "Let's drink it all." ”

"You don't drink?"

"I ......"

"Forgot that chicken leg he ate?" Li Fu snorted, "This guy has already drunk a lot!" ”

Qian Yuan had a very strange feeling, like laughing and scolding with his friends in the college dormitory, like making fun of each other with his teammates in the criminal police brigade.

In the past two months, Qian Yuan found that these four Ming people were not extremely vicious people most of the time, they were straightforward and cheerful, and they had a good attitude and morality.

But when they pull out the long knives at their waists, they will turn into beasts, cruel, tyrannical, bloody and ruthless.

In Nanling, Qian Yuan saw with his own eyes that the villagers who survived the fight were locked in their houses, and the guide surnamed Wang, who was still wearing a bandage in his right hand, threw a torch into it.

Heart-rending cries and begs for mercy would echo in Qian Yuan's ears every night.

Like the herdsmen on the steppe, they are bold, they are hospitable, they are honest, but when they go south, they will brutally kill the people, and they will mercilessly plunder everything they want to take.

The effect was soon seen, and Qian Yuan was satisfied to see that the guide surnamed Wang and Li Fu both yawned.

"Then I'll go back and sleep, right next to the kitchen, and I'll have to cook a meal tomorrow morning."

"Mmmm, I'm with Brother Liang and Brother Zhang."

Qian Yuan calmly crossed the threshold, and his heart involuntarily became restless.
