Chapter 185: Don't Be Impulsive
Chen Xu, who was still in the kitchen wearing a smock and a chef's hat, was busy stir-frying, naturally didn't know that he was being remembered to be the second pick-up man, and the one who picked up the dishes was the same person, Zhao Zhe, who was cut off by Yu Wuya.
If he knew, there would definitely be 110,000 impulses to press Yu Wuya's second goods into the toilet and drown.
That sword was magnificent, and then caused him countless disasters one after another.
Ding Ling clicked, and soon more than half an hour passed, and several common dishes in later generations were also cooked one after another.
Two of the same were quickly taken out by the helper and placed on the table under the pergola.
"This is fried river shrimp, scrambled eggs with leeks, and garlic sprouts back to the pot, everyone use it slowly!" A helper introduced the dishes next to each other.
Tempted by the fragrance emanating from the kitchen, the old man was impatient to wait, took out a pair of bamboo chopsticks from the bamboo tube on the table and said, "Eat!" Then I couldn't wait to pick up a pair of chopsticks, and the garlic sprouts that looked oily and watery were returned to the pot and stuffed the meat into my mouth.
"Well, it's delicious, oily but not greasy......"
Then there was another chopstick egg: "Hmm, the fragrance is overflowing, and the freshness is extremely tender......"
Then stir-fried river prawns: "The skin is crispy and tender, spicy and refreshing......"
"By the way, what about the wine that the old man wants?" The old man admired while eating, and couldn't help but urge loudly.
"Here comes the wine!" A helper hurriedly took out a pot-bellied clay pot, removed the sealing mud on it, and uncovered the linen and cork, and suddenly a strong grape and fruity aroma of wine came out.
"Hiss" The old man stopped his chopsticks with his eyes glared, and quickly handed over the pottery cup in front of him, the helper picked up the crockpot, and poured a full glass of dark red wine for the old man, and as the wine poured out, the tannin substance that had not been completely oxidized in it began to oxidize when it encountered oxygen, and suddenly a clear smell filled the entire canteen.
In addition to the old man, the young man and the six attendants also looked at the red wine with straight eyes, and their faces showed a look of intoxication.
This group of them is Wang Qian's personal guards, and they can almost be regarded as Wang Qian's closest domestic servants, and they accompany them when they go in and out, and the young man is the great-grandson of Bai Qi, the former Great Qin killing god, named Bai Zhen, and now serves as the captain of the Taiwei Mansion in the army, because Wang Bai's two families have been friends for generations, and they are also in-laws, this Bai Zhen's mother is the daughter of Wang Qian, and the nephew of Wang Ben, the Marquis of Tongwu, calls Wang Jian his grandfather at home on weekdays, but he calls the general outside the capital, and the relationship is also very close, so this time Wang Jian was ordered to come to find a disciple of the Xian family, and he also brought this grandson.
As the god of the imperial army, wine is naturally drunk almost every day.
And soldiers love to drink, this is almost an ancestral skill, generally three or five catties are no longer a problem, and these entourages and Bai Zhen can naturally drink alcohol at ordinary times, and they have not drunk less.
At this time, looking at this blood-colored liquor, smelling such a clear and mellow aroma, they were all swallowing their saliva one by one.
Wang Jian couldn't wait to pick up the pottery cup, leaned to the tip of his nose and inhaled vigorously, and then poured it into his mouth, a sweet smell of wine rushed straight to his heart, with the fruity aroma of grapes, and instantly shocked his soul.
"Good wine, come again!" Wang Jian wiped his mouth and slammed the pottery cup on the table and shouted loudly.
Chen Xu heard it in the kitchen and couldn't help but pout.
This wine is really not a good wine, but compared to the turbid wine made by the current Qin wine-making process, the alcohol content of seven or eight degrees is enough to kill everything in seconds, and it is made of pure wild fruits, and the taste is naturally not comparable to turbid wine.
When you have a chance in the future, use the steaming method to make a 60-degree two-pot head, hehe......
Chen Xu couldn't help but laugh a few times in his heart!
A jar of wine is only five catties, and it is less than two kilograms, Wang Jian plus a few guards who are five big and three thick, are naturally swept away, eating and drinking, before Chen Xu's three fish are all on the table, all the wine has been drunk cleanly, not only Wang Qian's old face is red, Bai Zhen and several guards are also red, one by one there is a little drunk, resulting in Chen Xu who came out with the boiled fish a little inexplicable, and can only sigh that the amount of wine of the ancients is too bad.
"Five more pounds of wine!" Wang Jian shook the empty wine jar and shouted.
"I'm sorry, the wine is gone, and I can only wait until tomorrow to drink!" Chen Xu hurriedly said.
"Hmph, how can there be no wine, you must be deceiving the old man!" Wang Jian was slightly drunk at this time, and a thunderbolt momentum emanated, glaring at Chen Xu and saying viciously.
"There is no deception, this wine must be refrigerated and stored in a cave, and if you want to drink it, you have to go to a cave a few miles away to get it back, there are too many jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains, and it is too dangerous to come and go!" Chen Xu said with a smile.
"Fart, jackals, tigers and leopards, are you afraid that I won't pay?" Wang Jian was furious, reached out and touched it in his arms, and slapped a bronze medal on the table with a bang, "I am the general of Great Qin, go and get the wine, otherwise I will cut off your dog's head!" ”
Chen Xu's face turned black in an instant!
You're paralyzed, and sure enough, you got drunk and started to play drunk! How dare you give you a drink like this, if you are really drunk and ride a horse to leave, who would dare to stop this sword and bow and arrow.
"Xiao Langjun, don't make noise, hurry up and get the wine, the money will not be missing you!" The burly young man next to him untied the money bag around his waist, grabbed a handful of it and threw it on the table, only to see seven or eight finger-sized gold cakes tumbling everywhere.
Chen Xu's cheeks twitched a few times and said: "Everyone, it's really not that I don't want you to drink, this wine is stored in the Wild Wolf Valley, and when I went to get the wine the day before yesterday, I heard the sound of a tiger roaring in the mountain col."
"Is there really a tiger?" Wang Qian's face became serious.
"Really, why don't I sell it to you if I have wine, I heard the hunters in the town say that this tiger has been coiled near Qinghe Town for many years, and it is generally absent in spring and summer, and it will come in autumn and winter, and the cattle, sheep and horses in the town have been attacked in previous years, even the children have been missing, and the county lieutenant has been unsuccessful in encircling and suppressing it several times, it is completely a big legacy of my Qinghe Town, if you want to get the wine, I will organize the town to go together tomorrow, so that I can safely get the wine back!" Chen Xu patiently explained a lot.
It's not that he's talking nonsense, but that there are really tigers in Wolf Valley.
And the situation is exactly the same as what he said, this tiger Nima is like a migratory bird that comes from spring to autumn, it comes in autumn and winter, and it disappears as soon as spring begins, and the nerves are completely a big heart disease of the entire Qinghe Town people, which has lasted for seven or eight years.
"Haha, good" Wang Jian slapped the table and stood up, stretched out his hand to hold the big sword on his waist and laughed: "There are tigers, what are you waiting for, wait for me to kill them, it just so happens that the old man still lacks a mattress for the winter!" ”
"Let's go, lead the way!" Wang Jian grabbed Chen Xu's hand and strode towards the outside of the elementary school.
Chen Xu's legs and stomachs turned in an instant, and he grabbed the old man's hand and shouted: "Uncle, uncle, you are drunk, don't be impulsive......"
"Fart, the old man claims to be a thousand cups and not drunk, how can he be drunk, when I kill the tiger, and then come back to eat tiger meat and drink wine, wouldn't it be happy!" The old man's hand was like a vice, no matter how hard Chen Xu struggled, he couldn't break it, and was soon dragged out of the yard by the old man, then turned over on the horse, and gently lifted him up and pressed him on the horse's back.
"Where is Wolf Valley?"
"Town...... Zhenbei, old man, I really can't go to ......"
"Go" As if he hadn't heard, the old man took the lead in rushing out with a clip on the horse's belly, and the young man and the six guards also got on their horses with weapons and quickly followed, and the eight horses with unusual horses galloped towards the north of the town.
"Quick, go and inform You Jiao and the water girl, Lidian has been kidnapped by the strongman!" A few helpers in the cafeteria shouted in fright, so many children rushed out of the courtyard of the elementary school to report the news in all directions.
The horse's hooves were rattling, and Chen Xu was lying on the horse's back, feeling that what he had eaten in the kitchen just now was going to be turned upside down.
But fortunately, although these horses ran fast, they were relatively stable, and the distance was only two miles, so they quickly entered the range of Wolf Valley.
I followed the path that was flooded with thorns and weeds, and soon I saw the mountain wall.
But today's Wild Wolf Valley is unusually quiet, not only did I not hear the roar of the tiger, but I didn't even hear the wolf howls that come and go one after another on weekdays.
"It's here!" Chen Xu saw that he had arrived at the mouth of the cave and hurriedly shouted.
The old man reined in the war horse and looked around, and said with regret on his face: "It's so quiet, how can there be a tiger, I think you are deliberately deceiving me and others!" ”
"No, absolutely not, I heard the tiger roar the day before yesterday, even the people in the town heard it, the wine is in this cave next to it, a few of you wait, I'll go in and take it out and go back!" Chen Xu slipped off his horse, removed a few branches that covered the entrance of the cave, and got in.
"Whew" Suddenly, an extremely terrible wolf howl came from the side of the mountain beam.
"Whew"
"Whew"
Almost instantly, one after another wolf howls rang out in the mountains around Wolf Valley, as if they had suddenly begun to roar at the same time.
"Roar"
Just as the wolves were howling, a low roar suddenly sounded, and the wolf howl rolled like thunder, shaking as if the mountains were shaking.
The eight horses neighed in horror almost at the same time, and the four hooves kept trampling backwards, and the narrow mountain road suddenly became crowded and chaotic.
"General, there are tigers!" The young man's face changed dramatically.
"Protect the General!" With a loud roar from one of the guards, the six attendants took their weapons in their hands almost simultaneously, and the sword was unsheathed and wound, instantly surrounding the old man in the center.
