Hot pot, the kind of old pot made of copper, with charcoal in a large chimney in the middle, and a circle of soup troughs around it is used to shabu mutton.

Just such a pot, Wu Zheng spent a full five taels of silver, and almost all the spices in the base except for chili peppers were bought in the West Market, and Qiao and Zhava came back with a whole bag.

Luan Yin's knife skills are very good, and there is no need to freeze the sheep, she can use a flying knife the size of a willow leaf to cut every piece of mutton as thin as a cicada's wings.

A full thirty catties of mutton, cut into meat rolls and placed on the table, there is a large pile, as well as frozen tofu, tofu skin, bamboo shoots, pig brains, mustard greens, fried pork skin...... Wait, as long as it can be bought on the market, whether it is suitable for him to come to the hot pot or not, he has prepared one anyway.

According to Zawa's words, how do you know if you can use it for hot pot without trying it?

Therefore, there can be eight large tables piled up like a mountain of food, but the yellow hot pot at one point is a little too small, which makes people look strange.

Eat it first, or you'll have to be swept away by Zava's stupid girl alone.

"Joe, did you see anyone selling mosquito coils when you went to the West Market today?"

"What mosquito coil?" Luan Yin, who was holding a piece of mutton shabu in her mouth, looked at Wu Zheng with a curious expression.

"I didn't ask you, eat yours! Can't stop you with good things? ”

Qiao also sandwiched a piece of mutton for himself, and said while dipping it in the sauce: "Yes, I saw the famous eye Zhava and bought a box back." ”

"Oh yes?" Wu Zheng suddenly came to his senses, and it was not Wu Zheng's temporary intention to ask Qiao to go to Xigaoli to buy mosquito coils, but since Wu Zheng fished Qiao out of Ye Dongcheng, she would almost always go to Xishi to have a look.

And Wu Zheng will ask the same thing every time he arrives, but every time he gets the answer, he shakes his head, but now Qiao Ju has bought mosquito coils, can Wu Zheng be unhappy?

"What does the mosquito coil seller look like?"

"It's a native man, and he's dirty like the prince of Tuyuhun."

"Another blind, the prince is now clean. Is it one person or several people who sell mosquito coils? ”

Qiao said: "Listen to that person, they came a total of five people this time, but I only saw one of him, what does he seem to be called......

"That man's name is Kawagu." Seeing that Qiao couldn't remember for a while, Zawa, who was stuffing something into his mouth, answered: "He is from the Wazi tribe, a very tribe. ”

Wu Zheng couldn't help but ask curiously: "Zava, do you know the Wazi tribe?" ”

Zhawa nodded: "I listen to my mother, she used to be from the Wazi tribe, because there was a bad white disaster in the area of Erling Lake that year, and the tribesmen had nothing to eat, so they sold her as a slave to a caravan, and later came to the royal capital...... It was a poor place, poorer than the snowfield, how did you think to go to them to buy mosquito coils, master? ”

Luan Yin also looked at Wu Zheng curiously and smiled: "If I'm not mistaken, your ranch is in the area of Ngoling Lake!" ”

When Zawa heard this, she suddenly seemed to think of something, and patted her head and said, "That's right! I remember, master, your ranch is also there. Khan is such a bully, how can you put your ranch in that place? ”

Wu Zheng smiled: "Isn't Ngoling Lake bad?" ”

Zhava shook her head and said: "It's not good, listen to my mother, it's a place where you can't eat enough, there is only one pot in a poor tribe, you can see that there are several mouthfuls of our big iron pot." ”

Luan Yin said: "Zhawa's words are not wrong, Ngoling Lake looks like it is less than a thousand miles away from the royal capital, but it is similar to our Lingnan Road in Dazhou, even in the eyes of Tugu Hun Rao, they are a group of uncivilized natives." ”

Wu Zheng smiled: "But they will soon each have a pot." ”

Qiao asked with red eyes, "Childe, is Ngoling Lake really as bitter as Sister Luanyin?" ”

Wu Zheng knew that Qiao was worried about Yin Cao, and couldn't help but comfort: "Don't listen to their blindness, when I lived there with your sister, I didn't know how happy I was?" ”

"Happy?" Luan Yin said angrily: "The people there don't even have a house, they live in yurts that leak everywhere, do you know what a yurt is, Sister Qiao?" It's a tent, and I don't know where the wind blows. ”

"Don't listen to him, although your sister lives in a yurt room, it is completely different from the tent you think, the snow-white one is surrounded and folded with wool felt, and there is a keel in the middle! And living in it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it leaks everywhere like her.

Your sister's yurt is on the edge of the lake, in front of which is an endless lake, surrounded by a green grassland, every morning the sun rises from the lake, and the beautiful morning glow slowly walks along the lake, rendering the whole world red, which is beautiful.

In the evening, the sun sets from the grassland, and the whole grassland is full of gold, just like a wheat field in autumn.

The fish that have that lake, all of them are stupid to death, and they can kill a large piece of stone if they throw a stone, your sister always asks me to catch fish for her to eat, but I didn't eat and touch it on Shenmu Mountain, so I changed the tricks and asked me to make fish for her, what fish porridge, braised fish, sweet and sour fish, sauerkraut fish fillet, etc., she can't get tired of eating.

As for the house, whoever doesn't have a house there has it in my pasture, my ranch is in a place called Rocky Mountain, there is a big river in front of the mountain, the pasture in the river looks like an island, I asked people to build a house by relying on the mountain to build it until the top of the mountain, and then leave a set for us in the place with the best sunshine and the best scenery on the top of the mountain, and we will go there in the summer to escape the heat. ”

Luan Yin smiled: "Sister Qiao, you also heard it, I didn't lie to you!" The poor there don't even have anything to eat, so they can only go to the lake to catch fish, think about the endless lake in front of you, and the endless grassland in the back, how desolate this must be! There was not even a shelter from the wind, and it was good that the wind was blowing from the lake, at least even people with tents would be blown into the grassland.

If it was scraped from the grassland, it would be miserable, and even people with tents would have to fall into the lake, and if they didn't freeze to death in winter.

As for building a house, does anyone know how to build a house where the bird doesn't pull to death? ”

"I don't want to talk to you." Wu Zheng said angrily.

Luan Yin smiled: "How did you get hit by me!" ”

"So be it! Do you want us to make a bet? ”

"Bet? What to bet on? Luan Yin looked at Wu Zheng with a wary face.

Wu Zheng smiled: "You don't have a house there, right?" ”

"The yurt doesn't count, it's a stinking woolen tent."

Wu Zheng nodded: "Mine is a brick house, at least seven or eight floors." ”

"Seven or eight floors? You just blow it! Do you know how to build a house in those wild fields on the shore of the Eling Lake? Don't have seven or eight floors, you can't build one floor. ”

"Really? Then let's make a bet! How dare you dare! ”

"Bet on whom! How do you bet? ”

Wu Zheng said with a smile: "Let's take the eight floors as the standard, if the house I built in Ranshi Mountain has eight floors or more than eight floors, even if I win, otherwise, even if I lose." ”

Luan Yin smiled coldly: "No problem, then what if I win!" What are you going to do? ”

Wu Zheng smiled: "If I lose, how about being a servant for you for a year?" ”

"A year? Too little, I'm going to have ten years. ”

"Okay, no problem. So what if I win? ”

"Do you really expect those wild men to build you an eight-story building in that wasteland? Do you see that this king has more than eight floors? There is no royal capital, not to mention your chaotic stone mountain, as soon as you hear the name, you know that it is a place where birds don't. ”

Wu Zheng smiled: "Let's leave it alone if there are birds pooping there, what if I win?" ”

"If you win, I'll be a maid for you for ten years."

"This is your own, gentleman's word......" Wu Yang raised his palm.

"It's hard to chase a horse!" After finishing Luanyin, he clapped a high-five with Wu Zheng as an oath.

"You're doomed."

"Really? But when I came out of Ngoring Lake, my house had already been built to the third floor. ”

Luan Yin was surprised: "How is it possible." ”

Wu Zheng said with a smile: "There is nothing impossible, although it is desolate, it is by no means as uncivilized as yours, because there are many herdsmen there who have been snatched from our Great Zhou." Where there are our Zhou people, are you still afraid that you won't be able to find a craftsman?

I'm not afraid to follow you, my three-story house was built by three people. ”

"Three people, you lied to the ghost!"

"Hehe, at the beginning, I just wanted to build a simple thatched house for the Bruch family and son by the lake, because their mother and son's yurt house is so bad that even the wind can blow away like you.

So I asked Brushi to start building a house with adobe, and then I used mosquito coils to exchange five herdsmen from the Wazi tribe, and one of them turned out to be a mason, so my original plan to build a thatched house was changed, and I asked Ah Da to make wooden wedges on the mountain wall, bury the wooden wedges in the adobe and build up the mountain, as long as the rocky mountain does not collapse, there is no need to worry about the house collapsing.

Moreover, Ah San also knew how to work as a carpenter, so I drew a crane and asked him to build it, with which even Bruce could send 500 pounds of adobe to the roof at once.

And Ah Er, he is very rich in business, so I made mosquito coils and told him to sell them in the surrounding tribes, not to sell them for money. Of course, it is really backward and can't compare with the king, there is no money, and if you want to buy things, you can only barter, so I asked Ah Er to change as many herdsmen as possible in addition to food and medicinal materials, and now there should be about twenty or thirty people on my ranch!

In this way, I have the population and technology, and you and I can't get up from the eight-story building? ”

Luan Yin said unconvinced: "This is just your side of the story, I won't believe it!" Unless I see your eight-story building with my own eyes, I won't have Sakura if you want me to admit defeat."

"You'll see."

"Master, is what you just did true?" Zarva asked.

Wu Zheng smiled: "Of course it's true, don't you like to herd sheep?" There's a kid out there just like you, and his name is Mi'er. At first, I thought she was a son, but she turned out to be a girl after letting Yin Cao give her a bath. ”

"How many sheep do you have, master?"

"I don't know! I'm still over 300 left, and now there will be more! ”

"Why? Aren't the sheep eating less and less? 166 Reading Network
