Chapter 37: Family

Liu Mang saw that there was no oil and water to fish, so he left, took his 'Divine Arm' and his Nine-Ring Knife, and called three or two more capable brothers to drill the forest again.

His dad recently followed Fei'er and a group of brothers down the mountain to find a buyer to sell salted fish, this guy was too lazy to cook at home alone, so he set up a fire with Wu Zheng, in order to prove that he was not rubbing rice, so every two days he would go to the forest to hunt some game and come back.

As for the 'Divine Arm' he took, Wu Zheng also told him afterwards that it was already a miracle that such a broken commodity could be used in his hands and not broken until now, and it was not even worthy of carrying shoes for the real Divine Arm.

But Liu Mang is not calling, who told Wu Zheng to say that this is a divine arm at the beginning? Coupled with the power of this strong arrow, which he has never seen before, and the butt of the gun is very conducive to aiming, so that he, a second-rate son in archery, has now begun to have a tendency to be a sharpshooter with 100 shots, which makes him love such a strong man even more.

As for Wu Zheng saying that it doesn't matter what this name is, saying that Potian is just a name, so he admitted that this is the divine arm in his heart.

In fact, Wu Zheng is also happy to see Liu Mang like to go hunting with Jinji, because for a modern person like Wu Zheng, long-range strikes are always king, so in his heart he has always wanted to create an armed force that specializes in long-range attacks.

In his heart, he felt that the maximum firing range could reach more than 400 meters, and it could penetrate the heavily armored divine arm, and its power was not under the smoothbore guns of later generations, and to say that the accurate head could throw the smoothbore gun for several streets, if the bow arm material was changed to soft steel, such an armed force would not change a musket team for himself, of course, the most important thing was that he knew that with the current smelting strip and thinking about a rifled gun coming out, it would be a fool's dream, so this legendary divine arm became his only choice.

As for now, let Liu Mang take such a defective horse to hunt and get familiar with Jinyu, so that when he has the conditions to start building his own Jinyu team in the future, he will be a good coach.

A large plate of steamed dumplings with meat stuffing was brought out by Wu Zheng, the reason why Wu Zheng dared to say that his Yanyue wontons and the imperial chef in the palace have their own merits, it is because he knows that in this era, both dumplings and wontons are cooked, and if he takes a plate of steamed dumplings out by himself, it must be the first one.

As a result, when Old Man Xia saw this plate of white and tender steamed dumplings, the curious look in his eyes also proved that Wu Zheng's idea was really right.

"Boy, can you still eat this glaive wonton steamed?" Master Xia took the chopsticks and pointed to the steamed dumplings on the plate.

Wu Zheng was disdainful of Xia Lao's question, because if he hadn't considered that Xia Lao's age and bad teeth, what he originally wanted to make was a plate of steamed dumplings but fried raw, and the taste now made Wu Zheng drool when he thought about it.

Wu Zheng said with a smile: "Master Xia, this steamed bun can be steamed and eaten, why can't this glaive wonton wrapped in dough?" So this wonton kid without water gave it a new name, dumplings. ”

Old man Xia was stunned when asked, and then laughed and said: "You kid has to say that what you said is indeed very reasonable, but unfortunately the world only knows that you stick to the rules and don't know how to think about change, but your idea really makes the old man's eyes shine, as for whether it is as you said and the glaive wontons of the palace chef have their own merits, then you have to let the old man taste it to know." ”

Wu Zheng smiled slightly, and immediately launched three small plates, which were filled with ginger foam, garlic and chopped green onions, in addition to a small bottle of vinegar.

There is vinegar but no soy sauce, which made Wu Zheng a little regretful at first, but when he learned that the soy sauce in this era was made from fresh meat, and ordinary people couldn't afford it, he decisively didn't regret it, because he knew how to use soybeans to make soy sauce.

This time, Seinfeld took someone down the mountain to sell salted fish, and Wu Zheng told her to bring more soybeans for herself when she came back.

"The ingredients in Xia Shi's mountains are monotonous, and the kid only got these four things back after searching the entire village, what flavor Xia Shi likes to eat, you can mix it yourself."

Looking at these three small plates and a small bottle of vinegar, even an old foodie like Old Man Xia had to admire Wu Zheng's steamed dumplings at this time.

smiled and began to put dipping sauce on his plate, at this time, even if Wu Zheng didn't need to introduce him more, his master knew that this steamed dumpling had to be eaten with ingredients.

Looking at Old Man Xia, who was busy mixing ingredients, Liu Dongqing on the side said with bad intentions: "Brother Wu, you asked Master Xia to mix the ingredients yourself, so if it doesn't taste good, will you say that the ingredients are not good for Master Xia?" ”

Wu Zheng smiled: "Brother Liu, what are you talking about, do you think I'm such a small-bellied person?" Let's be honest! The four-flavor seasoning is just the icing on the cake for this steamed dumpling, and whether the glaive wonton is delicious or not depends on the filling. Of course, for someone as picky as Xia Shi, he will definitely look at whether the skin is strong enough. ”

"It sounds quite reasonable, but I really didn't expect that I didn't know that Brother Wu had learned good cooking skills after knowing you for many years, Brother Wu, should you use all your reading energy on this!"

Liu Dongqing seems to be joking with Wu Zheng when he says this, that's because he hasn't said half a sentence, that is, no wonder you don't know how to take the test when you're twenty years old, it turns out that all your books are in your mouth.

Old Man Xia didn't know if he heard Liu Dongqing's words, but he heard it, but Wu Zheng's next response didn't seem to be as embarrassed and angry as Liu Dongqing imagined.

Instead, he smiled indifferently: "Brother Liu, what you said is not right, you have a good father who doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, but I am the only one in my family!" If I don't learn to cook something, I won't starve to death? ”

"No! Don't you still have an aunt and a grandmother? They don't care what you eat or drink? ”

Do you still have an aunt and grandmother in this world? Wu Zheng really didn't know about this, because that stupid nerd's memory only got some fragments.

Wu Zheng said with a smile: "It's not easy for grandma and aunt to provide me with education, if I get the same food as you to stretch my hand, wouldn't it be too unfilial?" ”

Liu Dongqing's hand hidden under the table tugged at his pants vigorously, not that his pants were going to fall off, but that if he didn't ravage something in his hand at this time, it would be difficult to suppress the anger in his heart.

As for Wu Zheng, the big mallet, when he was in Longtan County before, he was not pinched by himself, but now how did he become so clever, and he didn't take advantage of him after dealing with him, not to mention, this guy actually insinuated in front of Xia Shi that he was a pampered gentleman.

Just when Liu Dongqing wanted to make trouble again, he saw Xia Lao chewing steamed dumplings in his mouth and nodded with satisfaction: "Your kid's glaive wonton tastes really good, but the wheat used to grind noodles is a little old, and it is not smooth enough to eat it." ”

"Master Xia, you are a little difficult for a strong man, it is a problem to eat in this village, and we don't grow wheat here, you tell the boy to go up there and get new wheat for your old man?"

"Okay, you kid don't have to pretend to be bitter to show the old man, and you are not afraid of affecting the old man's appetite. This plate of steamed wontons belongs to me, and you can take the six courgettes! By the way, there are still twenty taels of silver, you kid, don't think about it. Xia Lao knocked on the table and said.

Wu Zheng, who is not silver, is really not calling, with these six sweet potatoes, wait for a year or two to let himself plant it all over the mountains, let alone twenty taels, even if it is twenty thousand taels.
