Chapter 51: Commencement
The next day, Cheng Hong started to wash early, and after washing, he asked Wu Erya: "I'm going to Weixian today, do you want to go?"
Wu Erya nodded, and Cheng Hong instructed the four girls in spring, summer, autumn and winter to bring ingredients, chicken, meat, various seasonings or something, and prepare to cook some food for Erya there at that time.
Cheng Hong took a group of guards, blacksmiths, or something to wait for the second generation of officials in the ten-mile long pavilion, Cheng Hong saw that the time was still in the pavilion and said something to Erya, and he couldn't get tired of laughing, Cheng Hong also understood who Li Lizhen learned from that kind of windmill boxing technique, that's right, it's her, Wu Erya!
The two little short legs of the two arms wheels and windmills also kicked and kicked, sprouting a face of blood!
At this time, the second generation of officials came one after another, Cheng Hong was afraid of squeezing into Wu Erya, so he hugged the second girl to the horse's head and pulled the reins to greet the second generation of officials.
Cheng Hong fixed his eyes and looked: it was Wei Wangtai and Shu Wangke. Li Tai ran to him and gasped for breath and said, "Brother-in-law! The king is here as promised! Li Ke arched his hand, it was considered to have said hello, and at this time, the string of Jin Wuwei in the back also arrived, and in front of him was a eunuch who was caught in a squeaky nest by Jin Wuwei, and he had already rolled his eyes.
After half the weather, this tone finally came up: "It's ruined our family!" Cheng Shilang has a message from you: The leather monkey dares to instigate my son to leave the palace, and now you are responsible for the safety of the King of Wei and the King of Shu. In addition, Cheng Hong instigated the prince to be punished for one year for not prosecuting and punishing him for example! ”
Cheng Hong ......: "The minister receives the order!" The eunuch took a few breaths: "Slow! There is also the queen's message: Cheng Hong, wait for the steel mill to finish building and come to the East Palace to get the board! Cheng Hong ......: "The minister obeys the queen's orders!"
Cheng Hong looked back at the snickering two: "Satisfied?" You sneaked out to play, and the board hit me! It seems that the steel mill will not be completed, and I will not be able to go back! Let's do it together! A group of people beat horses and went straight to Wei County......
When he arrived in Wei County, the county order of Wei County was already waiting there, Cheng Hong got off the horse and said: "There is a county order to wait for a long time, how is the recruitment?" The county commander hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Don't dare, don't dare!" The farm is over, and the people in the eight villages are idle!
As soon as the notice is posted, everyone who listens to the letter is ready, as long as someone rings the gong to notify the noon, it can arrive! Cheng Hong asked Wei Shuyu again: "Brother Shuyu, have all the grain and meat been loaded onto the ship?"
Wei Shuyu replied: "It's all right! The food was enough for 3,000 people for a month, and it was all loaded onto the ship, and the meat was all for the day, and I asked the butcher to kill it and deliver it the same day! There is nothing left, now only shepherd's cabbage and soybeans can be eaten raw! (Herb is the young leaf of soybean seedlings)"
Cheng Hong nodded, then turned back and asked Changsun Chong: "Where's the cement?" Eldest Sun Chong nodded: "Okay!" Cheng Hong called out twenty pro-soldiers and handed them to the county order: "I'm bothering you, let the little officials follow and send out the news of the start of construction!" ”
The county commander did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly called out twenty neighbors to show the way to the soldiers and beat the gong, Cheng Hong hugged his fists and went straight to the Feng River......
The cement and food had arrived, and the pro-soldiers trained by Cheng Hong knew Cheng Hong's character, and a group of people began to act according to Cheng Hong's orders.
Personnel began to arrive one after another, Cheng Hong sat next to Li Tai and Li Ke at the opening, and Cheng Hong asked if he was working? If it was a carpenter or a mason, Cheng Hong would give him a bronze medal and tell him to take the card to dinner, and take the bronze medal to them in the evening to receive the money, which was in the largest tent.
If the coolie is a bamboo sign with Arabic numerals written on it, the same is to go there to receive money for food, a group of people are grateful to Dade to go to the soldiers to find work, the river beach is immediately busy, tents are set up, a group of people take tools and begin to dig trenches according to the drawings to dig the wharf bay.
The carpenters began to build a large waterwheel, and everyone who had done it in Yunzhou City was responsible for one, leading the carpenters to start building stainless steel roller bearings with butter next to wood as an oil seal, which must be stronger than those outside Yunzhou City, which was not practiced by steel, and when it was refined, the waterwheels were all replaced with iron, strong!
The cook lady was really as Cheng Hong ordered, all the widows were pulling the children, and when they came, Li Tai almost cried, the children were thin and thin, and some were barefoot......
Turning around, Li Tai asked, "Cheng Hong!" Can you give her more money? Cheng Hong shook his head: "You gave more today, so what about the future?" There are a lot of them in Datang, do you give them all? It is better to give them money than to teach them a craft to make money, after all, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish! ”
Li Tai couldn't figure out why there were still people in the prosperous era of Zhenguan advocated by Confucius who couldn't wear shoes, couldn't eat enough, and didn't have clothes to cover their bodies......
The cook came, Cheng Hong began to instruct the cook to cook, seeing the yellow and thin appearance of the cook and waved his hand to call two soldiers to help carry water and rice, and the village woman would not say anything and say no more! I can't help it!
I was so anxious that I almost didn't cry, Cheng Hong told her: "Don't worry, it's almost noon soon, you have to make the food first, they will help you identify the place today, and you will have to get it yourself tomorrow!" There were more than 50 cooks here and there, Cheng Hong asked if there were any more?
The county magistrate looked at it and calculated: "There should be more than fifty of them!" Cheng Hong called the driver who transported the cement and asked the county order to find a small official: "Go quickly!" Pick up the cooks in a carriage, and if you are far away, you will not be able to go until dark! ”
The county order is still thoughtful by Cheng Shilang! Cheng Hong instructed them how to make pork, star anise, cinnamon, wild pepper, wild onions, ginger, garlic are ready, pork is cut into large pieces and boiled in the pot, and the foam is skimmed off after cooking, and then the water is changed and salted to cook, just like boiling pig's head meat.
After cooking, insert the meat out and cut it, serve the bone broth with the vegetables, and boil the pot to open the rice.
Cheng Hong took a gong and knocked it out, "It's time to eat!" Get in line! Get your number plate! Get ready to eat! Bone broth is a large slice of meat, no queue and no rice! ”
A group of people holding wooden bowls or pottery bowls with large heads of people are lined up in a twisted and crooked line to stretch their necks and watch, the rice is served by themselves, how much to eat, not to be thrown, two big spoons of vegetable soup and three fingers of thick palm-sized meat, even fat and thin boiled sparsely, fat but not greasy, squatting to the side and starting to eat, put the meat on the tip of the bowl, bite one by one, chew, reluctant to eat, Cheng Hong saw several people who wanted to take the meat home, Cheng Hong stopped it sharply!
If you take it back for more than a month! I'm not afraid to die by eating, I have to eat it! Find out who didn't eat and won't give meat tomorrow! So this group of men chewed and ate the meat slowly!
A group of second-generation officials also tossed enough in the morning, seeing that a group of people were eating fragrantly, and one person also held a big bowl and wanted to taste pork, including the two princes, Cheng Hong shook his head.
The current pig has not been fanned, and if it is a boar, it is very shameful, don't look at the people who eat happily, because they have not eaten any oil and water, and a group of officials with fine clothes and jade food can eat it?
I just hehe, Cheng Hong inserted a piece of meat: "Come on, come on!" Who tastes it, will you eat it? One by one, they came up and took a bite, and sure enough, except for a limited number of people, they couldn't eat it, although King Wei swallowed hard, but unfortunately he didn't accept it when he ate it, and finally swallowed it with red eyes.
Cheng Hong shook his head and lifted the pot of mutton in the back: "Eat this pot!" A bunch of guys in fine clothes! "Go back and tell me to buy as many sows and vegetable pigs as possible tomorrow, and the taste can be a little better!
When I didn't eat pork in the Tang Dynasty, it was written in novels that pig viscera, rolling in muddy water, looked ugly, so no one ate it, pull it down! Tang Dynasty pigs are divided into vegetable pigs and another kind of pig, another kind of pig is not edible, because the pigsty of another pig is connected to the toilet, people pull it down, pigs eat, do you think about how to eat like the current garbage pigs? Just think about it, vomit~!
After Cheng Hong arranged it, he went to Wu Erya's small tent with a mud ball, in which Erya was placing plates, two bowls of mutton soup, and corn and rice were back, and his eyes lit up when he saw the mud balls Cheng Hong brought!
I knocked the mud ball, and I haven't waited to eat it! The eldest grandson Chong led the King of Wei and the King of Shu to sneak in, "I said that the monkey spirit must be delicious, look at it, this taste!" Gee! Cheng Hong pulled off a chicken leg and handed it to Erya, and the rest of the chicken legs and chicken wings were given to the three of them
"Just your nose is long! Are you going back today? The eldest grandson Chong held the chicken wings in his mouth: "Go back to what!" We can't go back, there are two of them here, and one of them here counts as a person who goes back and whose leg is discounted! If it's not finished, it's all here! Cheng Hong secretly said bitterly!
