After Chen Cheng took over, the injuries of the wounded in the city quickly stabilized. Within a few days, not a single seriously wounded person died, although the soldiers in the sanatorium cried and howled every day. When I heard that he was going to cook crabs to eat, many people came to help, and many more people watched from the sidelines.

"It's so big, it's scary, can you really eat it?"

"You see, it's actually walking sideways, and this crab doesn't match what it eats!"

"There are so many hands and feet, you can't eat them, right?"

"I've heard that crabs are water ghosts and eat corpses........."

The onlookers on the side kept talking, but Zhao Yun just pretended not to hear it. He was in good health, and after his injuries stabilized, it only took a few days to be able to go to the ground. Although you can't do strenuous exercises such as horseback riding, or practice martial arts, so as not to burst the wound, it's still okay to burn the fire.

He added another piece of wood to the tin stove and flicked it with tongs, and there was a "crackling" sound from the stove.

Chen Cheng poured some water and cooking wine into the iron pot, then tied up the live crab and put it in the steamer. Whether it is a crab or a shrimp, as long as it is dead, it will produce poisonous substances after a few hours, so it is best to put it in the pot alive so that there is no danger and the taste is the most delicious.

"Zilong, aren't you worried that this thing will kill people if you eat it?"

Chen Cheng was busy for a while, and finally was able to rest for a while, then turned to Zhao Yun and said, "They all say that crabs can't be eaten."

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "There are very few fields in my hometown, and sometimes the villagers are hungry, and they will catch some fish and shrimp from the river to eat." I've eaten crabs before, but it's a little fishy, and I feel sick to my stomach after eating too much. ”

"Will crabs be sick to their stomachs if they eat too much? That must be an inauthentic approach! Chen Chengcheng swore solemnly: "My steaming is the most authentic method, it is absolutely delicious!" Now is the time for crab fat chrysanthemum, it's time to eat crabs! ”

Zhao Yun added another piece of firewood and said with a smile: "Since the county Cheng said so, it must be true." ”

After less than half an hour of steaming, the smell began to waft from the stove, and the soldiers on the side did not talk about it, but tried to keep the saliva from coming out. In the past few days, I have eaten a lot of wild vegetable dumplings, and I have drunk some fish soup, but they can only be half full, and I always owe a little meaning. Suddenly, I smelled the aroma of crab meat, and it dripped down.

After more than ten minutes, Chen Cheng estimated that it was almost over, and went up to uncover the iron pot. Thirty-five large crabs that had been bundled were neatly stacked together, all of them became red, and they looked very cute.

"Grunt", I don't know who started first, but soon they were connected, and the sound of swallowing saliva kept ringing out.

Chen Cheng took a wooden plate and put four of them, and cut them with a knife, the fragrance was even more attractive. He ate a piece first, shook his head and looked very intoxicated, and then beckoned, "Zilong, come and taste it." ”

Zhao Yun went over and picked up a piece, learned from Chen Cheng to dip some spices, and then put it in his mouth. The seasoning is made with ginger, garlic and white vinegar, and the crab meat is dipped in and eaten before eating, which is the most delicious. Zhao Yun only ate one piece and didn't continue.

Chen Cheng ignored the envious eyes on the side and asked, "Could it be that Zilong doesn't like to eat crabs?" ”

"No," Zhao Yun said: "There are more people and fewer crabs, if I eat too much, then others will have nothing to eat." ”

"Oh," Chen Cheng seemed to have a sudden realization, he looked around and asked, "You want to eat too?" ”

The wounded and sick shouted, "Yes! ”

"Then it's a bit difficult, there are only about thirty of them here, you ...... There were hundreds of them. Chen Cheng grabbed a crab leg and said loudly: "I've been busy for a long time, can I eat one?" ”

"Not too much, not too much!"

Chen Cheng said again: "Zilong burns the fire, he eats one, does anyone have an opinion?" ”

The wounded soldiers said in unison: "Not too much! ”

Chen Cheng continued: "And Wei Ran, Zhao Si and they help brush crabs, can they have one for each person?" ”

"Yes, yes!"

"Then there are twenty left," he said, turning around, "there are two hundred of you, and if they are divided, no one will be able to eat." Why don't we just divide it, and we choose the twenty most capable crabs, one crab per person, and a glass of wine, how about it? ”

This is a good idea, the side suddenly quieted down, everyone look at me, I look at you, and their eyes are eager to try.

A soldier who had been slashed in the face jumped out and shouted, "When I was fighting a few days ago, I killed three enemies by myself and captured a banner, can I eat one?" ”

Chen Cheng smiled: "Of course you can." ”

With that, he handed him a crab and poured him another glass of mead. The man lifted the crab and ate it, and took the glass and drank it. While eating and drinking, everyone else on the side watched with amazement, and some people kept asking, "How does it taste?" Is this wine good? ”

The man slapped the wine glass on the table, blushed slightly, and said loudly, "It's delicious!" Delicious! ”

Seeing that he didn't look like he was going to die after eating, the others had no worries, boasted of their martial arts, and killed the crabs one by one. Many of the wounded soldiers were wounded in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy in the front row, so there were many brave warriors, and in a short time they killed twenty crabs.

They ate happily and drank so much that their faces were flushed, and they didn't know if it was because the alcohol was too high or because they were excited. While they were boasting about themselves, a big black man suddenly burst out into tears. Chen Cheng immediately noticed this kind of disturbing thing, he looked up and down at the weeping man, and asked, "What are you crying about?" It's not worth it without crabs, right? ”

The man cried out, "Is eating crabs a fart?" I'm crying because a certain family is the first in martial arts, but it's behind these people! ”

"Oh, what martial arts do you have, just tell me about it."

The big black man took off his clothes, revealing his large muscles and the scars that covered them. He boasted of his scars; "A certain family has been in the army for six years, and every battle must be the first, and there is never a time when you are injured in the back!"

Chen Cheng stretched out his thumb and exclaimed, "Good man! ”

The big black man held his head high and said proudly: "Don't say anything else, the last decisive battle with the rebels, I was the first to rush into the enemy's camp!" I also killed the captain of the rebels! Who among you can compare with such martial arts? ”

The people who ate the crabs said ashamedly: "It's really not comparable!" ”

The big black man snorted and put his clothes back on.

Chen Cheng sincerely admired: "Sure enough, it's the first in martial arts, so why didn't you say it just now?" ”

When wars were fought in ancient times. It has always been the first class of battle achievements, because these people often have to fall into the dead, facing several times the enemy, and non-warriors cannot fill it.

The big black man scratched his head and said, "I wanted to say that I came, but I didn't have time!" ”

Chen Cheng laughed and said, "The crabs are gone, but there is still a lot of wine." What is your name? ”

The big black man was more than eight feet tall, and he looked not only half a head taller than Chen Cheng, but also much thicker, and he said loudly: "A certain family is close to Shanhe!" ”

"Guan Shanhe, I see that your injuries are not healed yet, can you drink now?"

Guan Shanhe said loudly: "The sword soldiers are not afraid, where are they afraid of drinking?" If you still have some wine, just take it out! ”

Chen Cheng took out a jar of mead, filled it himself, and then handed it over. Guan Shanhe was not hypocritical, took it and drank it all, and then shouted: "Good wine!" ”

"Good man, I see your strength, I'm afraid it's on par with Yang Chun, right?"

Yang Chun is a famous wrestler under Gongsun Yue, Guan Shanhe snorted when he heard this, and said, "A certain family has never lost to him!" ”

Chen Cheng asked again: "There are no more crabs, can you eat meat?" ”

Guan Shanhe said loudly: "Of course you can eat it!" ”

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Then in a few days, let's go hunting in the mountains, drink wine and eat meat together, okay?" ”

Guan Shan Hedao: "It is in line with the wishes of a certain family!" ”

Chen Cheng laughed for a while, and said to the people on the side: "The crabs are all divided, what else are you looking at?" What to do, what to do! ”

The soldiers laughed and dispersed, talking about what had just happened. For people who lack entertainment means, the scene is better than singing a big show.

Chen Cheng beckoned to the remaining people: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Come and eat, it won't taste good when it gets cold. ”

Wei Ran and the others rushed up to the scene and picked up the crabs that were separated. Chen Cheng said again: "Zilong, your injury is not healed yet, so don't drink yet." ”

Zhao Yunjian raised his eyebrows and said, "Wen Zheng thinks I'm not as good as that Guan Shanhehu?" The last time I went out of the city to fight against the battle, I led thirty cavalry to charge into battle, killed seventeen people, and captured two banners, which may not be worse than the mountains and rivers of Naguan! ”

At the time of the Han Dynasty, people were simple and robust, impassioned, and incomparable.

Chen Cheng said with a smile: "Zilong's bravery, I already know, why fight for a moment? There are many opportunities to make meritorious contributions in the future. ”

Zhao Yun was silent.

Tian Yu's movements were very fast, and the next day he got more than a hundred acres of land outside the city, first let people level it, and then ploughed it as Chen Cheng said, and finally buried the cut potatoes in it. In order to show his attention to this matter, Chen Cheng also personally went to plant potatoes with the soldiers.

"I'll tell you, that's how you have to do it!"

Chen Cheng dug a small soil pit with a shovel and sang, "Dig a pit, bury some soil, and count one, two, three, four, five........"

The soldiers were very happy and giggled and quickly finished planting the potatoes. Most of the soldiers at the bottom came from the countryside, and before joining the army, they were all good at farming. For them, doing these things is not tiring at all, and growing potatoes is much easier than doing other farm work.

After finishing the farm work, the soldiers who should be laid off were also removed, and the soldiers who wanted to leave after being injured also left, Chen Cheng began to prepare for the matter of going into the mountains to shoot and hunt. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the monarch would organize his countrymen to hunt every autumn, one to replenish meat, and the other to train the army. For a long time, hunting was a military exercise.

Tian Yu heard that he was going to go into the mountains to shoot and hunt, and he was also going to go with him. The two of them deliberated in the evening and decided that it would be fine to take two hundred people with each person. There is still a lot to do inside and outside the city, and it is necessary to leave enough people behind.

When Chen Cheng was feeding Gollum forage, he looked at the war horse that seemed to have swelled in a circle, and suddenly thought of something.

"Didn't I say that after rescuing Gongsun Zhan, I went to Cao Cao? How does it look like you're trapped? ”

There are only 5,000 people here, and they are at the forefront of the fight against the Hu people, even if the enemy does not come, won't the army be conscripted and requisitioned for food when it passes by? No matter how good it is, it doesn't make much sense. He pondered for a moment and decided to wait until the year was over. Boss Cao is there, and he won't run.
