Chapter 39 Wine and Meat Celebration
It took more than two hours to start and continue until the unitary hour, and 500 members of the Street Division, together with a battalion of Kaifeng Xiang Army, and 200 Kaifeng Prefecture officials, investigated the streets and alleys of Tokyo.
As far as the results of the investigation are concerned, Wang Hao, the street secretary, is very satisfied, because three days ago, all the illegal buildings marked with white paint as eye-catching "demolition" were demolished by themselves without exception.
Yin Baozheng of Kaifeng Mansion was also extremely shocked after learning of this great news, because before this, Kaifeng Mansion had posted many similar notices, even if the content of the notice was worded strongly, in the end there were still some people who would not abide by it.
In particular, the people who were related to many ministers in the DPRK and China thought that it was good to enjoy the shade with their backs against the big trees, and ignored the content of the notices in Kaifeng Prefecture, and in the end, they naturally did not do anything.
And this time, he did it so thoroughly, which naturally made Bao Zheng feel very surprised, so he didn't have time to have dinner, so he went straight to the Yamen of the Street Division, and went to Wang Hao, the Street Division, to celebrate it.
In fact, three days ago, many of the illegal buildings marked with white paint as "demolition" were naturally relatives of the emperor and some relatives and friends of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and a few days before they learned that as many as 200 illegal buildings in Hanlin Lane had been demolished by themselves, so they gave up their unrealistic illusions and had to reluctantly demolish them by themselves.
Because in the eyes of these people, the residents in Hanlin Lane are all officials stationed in Beijing without exception, and among them, there are no less than 100 court officials above the fifth grade, and even they dare not go against Kaifeng Mansion and the Street Division, so they naturally dare not dare even more.
In the office room in the front yard of the Yamen of the Street Division, Wang Hao heard that Bao Zheng, who came to him, said that he wanted to celebrate today's great event, and immediately asked: "Bao Gong, how do you think we should celebrate?" ”
After listening to Wang Hao's inquiry, Bao Zheng thought for a moment, but then asked: "Wang Sicheng, I don't know how to celebrate, you kid has a lot of ghost ideas, and your head is also very bright, I really want to hear it, how do you think we should celebrate?" ”
After thinking about it for a while, Wang Hao immediately came up with the idea of a big order, and blurted out a reply: "Bao Gong, see if this is feasible, today's brothers from our street division, as well as the battalion of the battalion you sent, and the two hundred servants, the big guy has been patrolling the streets for two hours, and it is very hard, and now he has not even used dinner.
"In the opinion of the following officials, we might as well hold a celebration banquet in the backyard of our street division tonight and have a good celebration. I've heard that the 500 members of our Street Division, as well as the 200 servants of your government, were all from the Kaifeng Mansion before that.
For these brothers, they are busy with official business and rarely have the opportunity to get together to eat wine and meat. It's rare to get together today, so you might as well get drunk. ”
Bao Zheng was a little hesitant about Wang Hao's proposal to celebrate at first, but after he thought about it, he felt that today was the deadline for demolishing illegal buildings, and after checking and inspecting them one by one, all the illegal buildings were demolished.
Bao Zheng, who was in a good mood, happily agreed: "Okay, Bao Mou's proposal to Wang Sicheng has also thought about it carefully and feels that this matter is feasible." In addition to Bao, whether it is the commissioners of your street division or my 200 servants, they are all from the Xiang army, so that I, an old scholar, can also experience the life of eating meat and drinking wine in a big bowl of your soldiers. ”
Although Bao Zheng agreed to this, Wang Hao made it difficult again, and he said with some embarrassment: "Bao Gong, the street division of the lower official is originally a Qingshui yamen, and now he has started a big meal, plus the day before yesterday I purchased a hundred barrels of white paint, and there is not much money left in the account, this money to buy wine and meat, our street division can't afford it......"
Without waiting for Wang Hao to finish speaking, Bao Zheng quickly interrupted him, patted his chest and said, "Okay, okay, Wang Sicheng, don't continue to talk, I already know what you mean." The money for tonight's wine and meat, I don't need your street division, I'll figure it out. ”
To say, Bao Zheng is really a man of his word, he immediately whispered to one of the guards accompanying him, and in less than half an hour, Wang Hao heard a burst of intermittent "hum" and "blea" screams outside the office room, which suddenly made him feel very strange.
The guard, who had disappeared for about half an hour, entered the office room, and after whispering something in Bao Zheng's ear, Bao Zheng stood up and invited Wang Hao to take a look outside the office with a smile.
Wang Hao, who had not yet walked out of the office, thought at first that Bao Zhengfang had sent someone to Kaifeng Mansion to withdraw money, but when he came to the outside of the office to take a closer look, he really didn't know it, and he was startled when he saw it.
Wang Hao, who came out of the office room, saw the scene in front of him and immediately shocked him, because he saw that in the front yard, there were twenty fat pigs and twenty goats out of thin air, and they were all fat and healthy.
Without waiting for Wang Hao to ask what was going on, Bao Zheng explained with a smile: "Wang Sicheng, didn't you just say that there is not much money left in your street division's account, and there is no extra money in our Kaifeng Mansion's account."
"Neither of us can come up with that much money at once, so I'll have to make this decision without telling you beforehand.
"I ordered people to raise dozens of pigs and dozens of sheep in the side courtyard of Kaifeng Mansion, and occasionally improved the food for the officials, catchers and servants of Kaifeng Mansion. For tonight's celebratory feast, let's eat boiled mutton.
"As for the wine money, you don't need to pay for it, Bao and I will personally take fifty taels of silver out and send someone to buy wine, I should be back soon."
As soon as Bao Zheng's words fell, there were four officials of Kaifeng Mansion, pushing a total of two wheelbarrows from the gate into the front yard, only to see that each wheelbarrow was loaded with a full twenty jars of wine, tied with thumb-thick hemp rope.
Wang Hao, who was standing in front of the office room, was shocked again when he saw this scene, he originally thought that Bao Zheng, a dignified member of the court from the third grade, as long as he waved a large pen and withdrew a few hundred taels of silver from the account of Kaifeng Mansion, it should not be any problem.
As a result, what he never expected was that tonight's wine and meat would appear in this way, which really surprised him.
The wine and meat are already in place, and then, how to eat meat has become a big problem, whether to eat steamed, fried, or roasted, neither Wang Hao nor Bao Zheng have thought about it.
After inquiring about the street divisions, as well as the Xiang army and the officials, the vast majority of people thought that since Bao Zheng was allowed to experience the life of the barracks, of course it was barbecue to eat.
So, Wang Hao and Bao Zheng finally adopted most of the opinions and decided to roast the pig and mutton to eat, then, the question arises again, after the hair is removed, is the whole pig and sheep roasted on the fire, or is it divided into multiple pieces to roast? On this issue, everyone disagreed again, and began to debate endlessly.
To say that Wang Hao is worthy of passing through the past from modern society, when the two sides could not agree on it, he immediately made a decision, that is, he wanted to let a group of ancients in front of him experience a skewer in modern society.
After making this decision, Wang Hao immediately instructed his good brother Zhang Sanmu, who had been standing beside him: "Brother Sanmu, I found that in the backyard of the Yamen of our street, in front of more than a dozen thatched houses, there are tens of thousands of long bamboo pieces in those big bamboo baskets, and it is a waste to put them there and idle them.
"In this way, you take someone to split these bamboo slices, all of which are about half an inch thick bamboo skewers, and wait, let's use the split bamboo skewers to wear the pork and mutton cut into small pieces into skewers, which is called barbecue skewers, and the taste is very delicious."
As soon as Wang Hao's words fell, whether it was Zhang Sanmu who was standing next to him, Bao Zheng who was close to him, and the street division messengers, the soldiers of the Xiang Army and the officials of Kaifeng Mansion who were standing around him, their eyes widened and their faces showed surprise.
Suddenly, at this time, they all closed their mouths and turned silent, and many of them reflexively covered their noses and mouths with their palms.
