Koji Qiu asked Xin Er and said, "Governor, is that Confucian a certain virtuous official in the county government?" ”

Xin Er said with a smile: "Suddenly, more than 10,000 Hu Mu came, I was afraid that Jingwei would not be able to bear it and be difficult to manage, so I sent some county officials and generals to help him." There are government officials, and there are military schools, but the Confucian is not one of them. ”

"Isn't it? So why is he here? ”

Xin Er said: "The Good Sect Protector learned that there is not only this Confucian scholar here in Jingwei, but also four or five other Confucian scholars, all of whom I hired from the county to use for ......."

He was about to explain to Koji Qiu that the one in the middle of several large tents was lifted to welcome three or four people.

The person at the head, not tall and with a calm bearing, is Zhang Jingwei, and the four people who follow him are two Tang officials and two Hu people.

The two Tang officials were Sasuke sent by Xin Er to help Zhang Jingwei.

One of the Hu people, with a fat head and big ears, was wearing a county pleated hakama uniform, with a big belly, a ring-headed knife in his waist, his hand pressed on the knife, and he walked and swayed, but he was begging for a lot of money, and he was also sent by Xin Er to help with chores.

Begging vigorously held his stomach, flexibly crossed Zhang Jingwei and the others, ran to the front of the horse, bowed down and said, "General! The villain misses you so much! ”

Kojiqiu asked, "Who is this?" ”

Xin Er gently shook the whip and said with a smile: "Get up, I just transferred you here for seven or eight days, what are you pretending to do?" "Introduced to Kojiqiu, "This is a military marquis under my account, named Qi Dali, a first-class honest man, with a lively heart, I sent him here to help Jingwei pacify and surrender." Ling Qi said vigorously, "This is the lord's own Fuyi Protector Koji Jun, you don't want to see it quickly!" ”

Koji Qiu said in his heart: "'A first-class honest person, with a lively heart', that is actually not honest." A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Please get up, please get up." He beckoned the two old and little Qu from the hunt to come over and said, "You guys are so close." ”

The three Hu people stared at each other and looked at each other.

At a glance, without words, just from the hair ornament, the three of them already knew each other's origins.

The beggar has a strong hair and pigtails, which is obviously a kind of Beihu. Lao Qu and Xiao Qu are father and son, and they are not surnamed Qu, but the surname is the name of their tribe, called Qu Nan, the old one is in his forties, the name Qu Nan Hu, the young one is twenty-four or five, and the name Qu Nan sees the sun; The two of them did not have a hair, nor did they tie their hair into thick braids like Xianbei, which was the custom of Puqin's national and Xirong.

One north, one west, three Hu people of different races put away their own language, spoke Tang dialect together, and went to chat by themselves, so there is no need to mention it.

Zhang Jingwei and the remaining three approached and bowed.

Xin Er jumped off the horse, didn't say anything about the two Tang officials, first introduced Zhang Jingwei, and then introduced another Hu person to Koji Qiu, and said: "Koji Jun, this is Pingluo, the eldest son of the chief of the Qubu. This time, Hu Mutai who migrated inward was half of his people, so I sent him to assist Jingwei as well. ”

Ba Ruoneng, Pingluo, Yuanguang father and son, plus Ba Ruoneng's younger brother Koji Zhu, these four people, three are in the county government, under the supervision of Xin, only Pingluo was sent to the ranch.

Koji Qiu also got off the horse and met Zhang Jingwei and Pingluo, Chong Pingluo nodded lightly, and smiled at Zhang Jingwei: "The governor really praised Zhang Jun in the letter to the king. Looking at Zhang Jun's behavior today, he really looks like a capable official. He took out the order of Linghu and gave it to Zhang Jingwei, and said, "The king will let you be my Sima, and I will ask Zhang Jun to help me a lot in the future." ”

The koji ball is long, and Zhang Jingwei is short.

The two talked closely, and Zhang Jingwei only reached the chest of the koji ball, which was very different from each other.

Zhang Jingwei was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Xin Er.

Xin Er smiled and said, "Jingwei, follow Koji Jun well, don't live up to the trust of the Lord." ”

Zhang Jingwei agreed, took the order, did not open it on the spot, handed it to the Tang official on his side to hold, and asked Xin Er and Koji Qiu to enter the account.

Koji Qiu instructed the chief Shi Song Gai and the thousand-person superintendent Captain Bing Bo, and said, "Find a place nearby, so that you can make a tent." ”

Song Gai and Bing Bo responded to the order.

Xin Er asked the koji ball to go first, and the two of them gave in, but in the end it was still in front of Xin Er's head.

And they went into the tents.

Sit down, Zhang Jingwei asked about the hard work on the road and gossiped a few words.

Koji Qiu picked up what he had just said and asked, "What did the Governor say about that Confucian student?" What is it used for? ”

Xin Er stroked his mustache and replied: "Since Hu Mu of the Qu and other departments has migrated inward, he will be the ruler of our dynasty in the future." Ordinary shepherds don't count, among the brothers and children of the chiefs, some of them don't know Tang characters, and some don't speak Suo Tang dialect. In this way, how can there be communication in the future? That Confucian student, along with a few others, was the teacher I hired for them.

He laughed and said, "This is my bad opinion, at that time, before the koji king arrived, he made his own decisions; Now that Koji-kun has arrived, naturally everything is decided by Koji-kun. If you think it's okay, these Confucian scholars will be left to you; If it is not necessary, I will take them back to the city. ”

Koji slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, how can it not be necessary?" Great necessity! Glancing at Pingluo, there is this Hu here, many words are not easy to say directly, only said, "Confucius Yun's 'teaching without class', the governor's move is practicing the words of the sage!" ”

Xin Er knew that he understood his intention of asking Confucian to teach Chief Hu's children to read, smiled slightly, and said no more.

The intention of hiring Confucian scholars to educate the children of Chief Hu was, of course, to prompt them to speed up the "Tang Dynasty", hoping to cultivate a few "loyal and righteous Hu" like Pingluo and make them "pro-Tang faction".

After a long time, it was already dark outside the tent.

Koji Qiu stood up, touched his stomach and said, "I'm hungry." He asked Zhang Jingwei when he didn't see the field, "Jingwei, what delicious food has been prepared for us?" ”

"There is not much food in the wild, I hunted a deer the day before yesterday, I don't know if the roasted venison can be in line with the preferences of the guards?"

Koji said, "Venison?" Eh, I haven't eaten in days. He asked, "Is it a whole deer?" ”

"Yes. As soon as the deer was hunted, the lower official received a notice from the king of the palace that the protectors were coming, because the lower official had saved the deer. ”

Koji Qiu said: "Since it is a whole deer, it is better to concoct it than to make it in a bad way." Xiao and Xin Er said: "Since I entered the pasture yesterday, I have been thinking about beating the first deer and concocting it, please try my craftsmanship!" Although I hit a few sheep yesterday, I can't stop spending this effort. I don't want Jingwei to have one here. How about trying my hand, Duke? ”

Xin Er smiled and said: "Koji Jun took the initiative to ask for help, and his skills must be clever." I'm going to drool. ”

Everyone in the tent laughed.

Out of the tent, Zhang Jingwei called the officials to dig a big pit.

And the officials brought the deer.

Zhang Jingwei hasn't called anyone to come to rectify it yet, and the koji ball has already stepped forward, as if he wants to do it himself.

Zhang Jingwei and others were shocked.

Zhang Jingwei said: "How can the guards personally take the knife? The lower official has a cook here, and he can be recruited immediately. ”

Koji Qiu smiled: "Didn't I say, please try my craft, I don't do it myself, how can it be considered my craft?" ”

Zhang Jingwei and the others looked at each other, and turned their eyes as if asking for help.

Xin Er ignored it, rolled up his sleeves, and went up to help instead.

The koji ball cuts the belly of the deer, first cleans the abdomen, and then cuts the venison and deer fat and places it on the board.

Xin Er pressed the head of the board, cut the koji balls with a knife, and cut the meat and fat as thin as thin leaves.

Zhang Jingwei and the others stood on the side and watched, looking at the koji ball's hands and feet, and the knife was like the wind, it was clearly not the first time to do such a thing.

"Gentlemen are far away from cooking", the current scholars and magnates, self-conscious, and even disdain to answer with the people, how can anyone be willing to cook? This koji ball is indeed different, but it is more and more of an appetite for Xiner.

As everyone knows, the civilian atmosphere inadvertently revealed by Xin Er's body is also extremely tempered with koji balls. Just like last night's gambling with the soldiers, and like the current helpers, not many scholars are willing to do it. It is also because of this that Koji Ball will not be too rash to cut and chop, and he is not a fool to treat this deer,—— if he encounters such a heavy identity, how can he do this, and provoke him to be despised in vain?

After cutting the meat and fat, Zhang Jingwei served various spices and seasonings such as soy sauce, salt, ginger, pepper, and green onion.

The koji balls are mixed with meat and fat, kneaded into the flavor, and together with Xin Er, they are piled into the washed deer belly.

The two chiefs were busy, Zhang Jingwei and the others couldn't be indifferent, helpless, and reluctantly came to help.

When the meat and fat are full, stop, sew the deer belly.

The big pit over there had already been dug and a fire was made.

When the walls of the pit were burned red, put out the fire and take the ashes, put the deer's belly in it, cover it with ashes, and burn it again.

By this time, it was already nightfall.

The guards lit torches around the fire pit and planted them in the ground.

Xin Er washed his hands with koji balls, returned to the edge of the pit, and sat down with Zhang Jingwei and the others. Bursts of fragrance. After waiting patiently for a long time, almost cooking more than one stone and more than a meter, Koji Qiu smiled: "The meat is cooked!" It's ready to eat! ”

The fire was extinguished, and the deer was lifted out and placed on the mat.

The knife and dagger have been brought, and the koji ball has broken the thread on the belly of the deer, and the fragrance is like steam, and the deer fat has melted on the meat, and the crystals are sticky.

Koji Qiu smiled: "Duke, please?" ”

Xin Er was not polite, pricked a piece of meat, and blew two breaths at him, it was so fragrant, I couldn't wait for it to be cold, I couldn't wait to eat it, the heat was good, the meat was burned just right, the fragrance was rotten and beautiful, it seemed to melt in the mouth, the fragrance was abnormal, far from being boiled and burned.

Xin Er devoured several pieces in a row, and even called delicious.

The moonlight is like water, and the night breeze in early summer is cool. Flowers are everywhere, green grass is like grass, everyone sits on the ground, accompanied by fine wine, gluttonous food.

Xin Er did not stay in the ranch for long, and after the handover with the koji ball, he returned to the county in the afternoon of the next day.

I went to the barracks to check the results of Hu Cai's recent drills.
