Outside the camp tent, under the organization of Wei Chi Baolin, the fire soon set up two huge iron pots in the barracks, and lit a blazing fire with firewood as fuel, just waiting for the water to boil before the fish could be cooked.

In a moment, the news of eating fish spread under the spread of the sharp-eyed people, and the soldiers all gathered around the iron pot with joy, watching and talking about it. Although it is an ordinary day, it feels more like the New Year.

Under the busyness of the fire, soon, the aroma wafted from the iron pot with the lid on it, and a delicious fish feast was about to begin. Since the soldiers had not eaten such a good meal for a long time, they could not help but salivate at the mere smell of it, and they wished that they would be able to eat the fish in their mouths immediately.

Although Shan Zhuokun is a general, because he has been fighting with his father since he was a child and has lived a military life all year round, he is very different from those sons of the family who only know how to linger among the flowers all day long, and he is closer to the lower-class soldiers. At this moment, he saw that the fire head was already in a hurry because of the small number of people, so he volunteered to take the initiative to squat down to help add firewood, only occasionally he had some backache before he straightened up and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hands to rest temporarily.

"I can't see that our General Wei Chi still has such good cooking skills."

Suddenly, a voice sounded behind Yu Chi Baolin, startling him alive. Yu Chi Baolin straightened up in surprise and looked back, but saw that Shan Zhuokun was looking at him with a smile, and it was Li Yuanchang and Li Zhifeng, the kings of Han, who were standing on his left and right sides.

"Shangxian, you're making fun of me again." Because they were born and died together so many times before, even when they returned to the barracks, Wei Chi Baolin seemed very close to Shan Zhuokun, "Although my cooking skills can't be compared to yours, they are not particularly inferior." Besides, you know that when I was in the cave, but this fish bit me, and if I hadn't helped me, my hand would have been useless. If it is from this aspect, then I have to stew it to a rotten rot, let the soldiers eat a few more bites of meat, and see if it dares to continue to be the overlord? ”

When Yu Chi Baolin said this, he subconsciously pointed at the pot with his fingers, gritting his teeth and making a resentful expression. Because he was afraid that the other party would worry, he did not inform Wei Chigong and Li Yuanchang of the injury. Therefore, when Li Yuanchang heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and asked with concern:

"Huh? Brother Pauling, are you hurt? Does it matter? ”

With that, he quickly took Yu Chi Baolin's hand and wanted to check the injury.

When Shan Zhuokun saw this scene, he didn't think it was very funny. I didn't expect that this ancient person was more open than modern people, and in broad daylight, in front of so many people, it was really interesting to pull and pull like this, and I couldn't help but let out a chuckle.

Li Yuanchang heard Shan Zhuokun laughing behind him, glanced at Yu Chi Baolin, and explained with a smile: "Shangxian doesn't know, this king and Brother Baolin have grown up together since childhood. Although they don't have the same surname, they have long been like siblings, so I heard him talk about the injury, and I wanted to check the wound in a hurry. Where the faux pas are, the immortals don't have to blame. ”

Shan Zhuokun did it unintentionally just now, and when he heard Li Yuanchang say this, he felt a little sorry in his heart, and hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"Where did King Han come from, I just think your friendship is very innocent and envious."

Yu Chi Baolin waved his hand and said boldly: "What is there to envy about this? Since Shangxian and King Han are both brothers of my Yu Chi Baolin, then you two are also brothers. In the future, wouldn't it be a happy thing for the three of us to eat meat together, drink wine together, and protect Tang together? ”

"Well said!" Li Yuanchang's eyes lit up, and he continued, "Shangxian is a person who has attained the Tao, and it is the blessing of my Tang Dynasty, if Shangxian and Zhifeng are willing, when the war is over, they will return to Chang'an with us." In the future, as Brother Pauling said, it will indeed be a very happy thing, how about it? ”

Shan Zhuokun was said by the two people in front of him, and his heart became agitated. Bao Tang? Good idea. If you can really experience what it's like to be a hero this time, it's not too bad. However, this time he didn't speak, and Li Zhifeng preemptively expressed his personal attitude.

"Bao Tang is naturally a good thing, but I have already told E Guogong in the account, this matter is very important, and I still need to think carefully before I can decide. As for ascending ......" Li Zhifeng said this, suddenly put away his words, looked sideways at Shan Zhuokun, only to see that the other party was looking sideways at the moment, silent, and continued, "As for Shangxian, it is up to him to decide what he plans next." ”

Her voice was not high, and her tone was very flat. However, for some reason, it still made everyone present tremble, as if there was a shocking secret about the fate of Datang hidden behind her.

Shan Zhuokun quickly looked around, and saw that everyone was staring at Li Zhifeng with doubtful eyes, knowing that he had to help Sa Nu cover up a thing or two, so he smiled:

"Really, what are you doing to talk so heavily about the topic? Since we have a relationship with General Wei Chi and King Han, we must loyally support the Tang Dynasty. By the way, General Wei Chi, is the fish in your pot ready? The greedy worms in the stomach of the fairy are about to crawl out. ”

Yu Chi Baolin saw Shan Zhuokun squeezing his eyes vigorously at him, and knew that he was helping Li Zhifeng to play a round, so he bent down and opened the lid of the pot, and as he gently stirred it in the fish soup with a spoon, a strong smell of incense instantly floated out of the pot, which made everyone present can't help but feel refreshed.

"Oh, the fairy is right, this fish soup is cooking just right now. If you cook it for a while, I'm afraid that the soup and old meat will not taste good at all. ”

Shan Zhuokun straightened up and said with a smile, and then he ordered the fire head beside him to distribute fish to the soldiers according to a certain number. Under his command, the scene was boiling again.

"Shangxian, you wait, I'll go get the vinegar cloth." After the fire head finished distributing the fish meat in turn, Yu Chi Baolin said excitedly, "This fish meat can only be more delicious if it is dipped in vinegar cloth." ”

Vinegar cloth? ......

Shan Zhuokun heard Yu Chi Baolin mention this word, and he unconsciously had a strong expectation in his heart, if this vinegar cloth was really delicious, then he really had to eat more. Not only can you feast your tongue beautifully, but also start the food journey of Datang by the way. Kill two birds with one stone, how nice!

"General Wei Chi, since this thing is so delicious, then you should go and get it." Thinking of this, Shan Zhuokun couldn't help but urge.

However, what he didn't expect was that when Yu Chi Baolin came back, what he was holding in his hand was not the vinegar bottle he imagined at all, but a stack of black rags that looked extremely dirty. Not only that, but as soon as you open a piece, Brie will suddenly waft out a sour smell. This feeling can really only be described by the word sour.

"What is this?"

After Shan Zhuokun smelled this rich smell, he only felt a pinprick in the temples on both sides of his head. After quickly coming to the corner and retching for a long time, he barely stood up and looked sideways at Yu Chi Baolin beside him.

"This is vinegar cloth!" Yu Chi Baolin looked down at the vinegar cloth in his hand, and then looked up at Shan Zhuokun in surprise, "Didn't the Immortal still have strong expectations for it just now?" Why did it become like this in just a few moments? ”

As he spoke, Yu Chi Baolin unfolded the vinegar cloth in his hand again and shook it in the wind. However, with a slight movement, Shan Zhuokun felt a whirling sensation again, and the state that he had finally adjusted was immediately collapsed again. Unable to support the feeling of tumbling in his chest, he had to turn around and squat on the ground again and continue to retch. However, unlike last time, this time he didn't vomit anything even though he used all his strength.

Seeing that Shan Zhuokun was so uncomfortable, Yu Chi Baolin mistakenly thought that he couldn't smell acid, so he showed an apologetic expression, and at the same time quickly rolled up the vinegar cloth and hid it behind his back. When Shan Zhuokun saw the other party's move, he felt very warm in his heart, and got up slowly:

"General Wei Chi, let me ask you, how do you eat this vinegar cloth?"

Seeing that Shan Zhuokun's condition was much better, Yu Chi Baolin led him to the iron pot and pointed to the clear water in the pot:

"It's very simple, as long as you put this vinegar cloth in clean water and boil it, soon the water will smell like vinegar."

Shan Zhuokun's eyes widened, and after looking at the water, he moved his gaze to Yu Chi Baolin: "You mean, use this water as a dipping sauce?" ”

Yu Chi Baolin didn't speak, just nodded firmly.

An incredible expression appeared on Shan Zhuokun's face, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "This emperor of the Tang Dynasty also uses this vinegar cloth?" ”

He originally thought that it was only because it was extremely inconvenient for these soldiers to march and fight all year round, so they used vinegar cloth for the convenience of keeping, and the emperor and other people used rice vinegar or old vinegar from Shanxi.

"But there are exceptions, some families are so poor that they can't even eat, so they can only pick up some rich people's brush pot water to borrow the taste." In the end, Yu Chi Baolin gave a subtle answer to this question in a word-by-word manner.

Shan Zhuokun couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when he heard this mysterious answer. At the same time, there was a toothache-like sound in his mouth. I can't imagine that the technology of this ancient person is so backward, and he doesn't even understand the most basic common sense of distillation and filtration. No wonder the books say that the average life expectancy of them is less than fifty years old, and it seems that this is the main reason.

"General Wei Chi, why don't you do a magic trick for you." Thinking of this, Shan Zhuokun said with a smile.

"Magic?" Yu Chi Baolin was stunned.

"Yes, but you need to prepare a few things before you can do this magic." Shan Zhuokun said, "That's it, give me ten minutes, and I'll be back right away." ”

After speaking, he reached out and patted Wei Chi Baolin's shoulder, smiled inexplicably, and turned to leave.
