Chapter 307 Three Friends of the Cold Year

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief,"

Situ Zheng was not afraid of tigers, and said confidently, "Just block the direction of the Xitou city gate, the Tartars will not be able to pass, leave a team in the camp to guard the prisoners and use them as mobile forces, and send a group of snipers to the east and south to monitor the room, and shoot to warn if there is any movement......

"I'm afraid it's not that simple......"

Lin Xiao looked at the mountain called Xiaopanlonggang in the west, and said thoughtfully.

On the top of that mountain, there is a tall eaves at a glance, that is the open eaves of Zhenhai Tower, this building is a rectangular five-story building, the locals call it "five-story building", because it is built on the top of the mountain, the height of the building alone is more than 20 meters, it is the absolute commanding height of the neighborhood......

Lin Xiao turned his head and asked, "There seems to be a cannon on that Zhenhai Tower?" How many defenders are there on it? ”

"There are cannons, there are more than a dozen guns, you can see the huge cannon ports between the battlements from a distance, but you can't get close to reconnoitre, and the number of Tartars is ......"

Situ Zheng immediately realized that the building was only a little more than a mile away from the granary to the east, and on the gentle hillside not far behind it was the North City Gate, and if he wanted to completely protect the granary, he must first remove the threat of artillery there.

Lin Xiao nodded and said, "Oh, then I'll ask Ling'er later, they may have a rough number ......."

Situ Zheng was puzzled: "Those cannon ports are all facing the direction of Liuhua Lake, and they don't pose much threat to the granary, right?" ”

"No," Lin Xiao shook his head, "what if they still have field artillery in their hands?" ”

Field guns are different from bulky city defense guns, and it is easy to turn the muzzle.

"Yikes!"

Situ Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and said embarrassedly: "Then ...... Take it down first? ”

"Sneak attack, no shot, are you sure?" Lin Xiao frowned and asked.

The number of troops is too small, so we can only take Zhenhai Tower first, but we can't startle the snake, no matter if we alarm the granary or the city tower, we will all lose our efforts.

"As long as I do it after dark, I'm sure." Situ Zheng groaned slightly and said firmly.

"I'm afraid I can't wait for it to get dark,"

Lin Xiao shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid that the situation in the Shunde area has changed hands, and on the other side of the river, the vanguard of Battalion Commander Duan is attacking very fast, maybe they will cross the river before dark...... I'm afraid that Shang Kexi will jump off the wall in a hurry, so I will do it in advance......"

"Then divide the soldiers into two ways and attack at the same time!" Situ Zheng settled down and said ruthlessly, even if he fought for casualties, he had to keep the food.

"Don't worry, let me think of another way......"

Lin Xiao looked at the group of young beggars in the courtyard and said in a deep voice, "You call the signal soldiers, I want to call the battalion commander." ”

"Okay."

……

"Brother, it's time to eat."

At this time, Ling'er smiled and took a wooden plate out and put it on an offering table, with only three dishes, a soup, and two large bowls of rice.

Lin Xiao stepped forward to take a look, and saw that the three bowls were full of vegetarian dishes, a bowl of cabbage, a plate of steamed tofu, and a plate that looked like fried bamboo shoots with plums.

These three dishes look very ordinary, and there is nothing special about them, but they have a strong aroma, and under a burst of sweet fragrance, I only feel indescribably comfortable, Lin Xiao wondered in his heart, am I hungry again?

Take a closer look, the bowl of soup is extraordinary, there are more than a dozen small red fruits floating in the turquoise clear soup in the white porcelain bowl, and there are seven or eight pink petals floating, and the bottom is lined with tender bamboo shoots, red, white and green are reflected in three colors, bright and dazzling, the soup is full of the fragrance of lotus leaves, and I think this clear soup is made of lotus leaves.

Lin Xiao was even more puzzled, this chick was clever in his heart, looking at this posture, their family was afraid that they were also rich before, but where did the lotus leaves come from this season?

While Ling'er was busy serving rice, she smiled embarrassedly and said, "Brother, there are not many dishes, there is half a pot of soup, can you let your brothers come and scoop a small bowl?" ”

"Okay, then thank you Ling'er." At that moment, let Situ Zheng beckon everyone to go to the side hall to drink soup.

Several other little ones also know the rules, and they all went to the side hall to eat, and only Lin Xiao, Situ Zheng, Ling'er and Xiao Biaorui were seated at the table.

Ling'er greeted with a smile: "Two brothers, Huazi has no money, and it is really difficult to repay the life-saving grace of coarse tea and light rice, so I will eat some for the time being." ”

Lin Xiao smiled and said politely: "Ling'er is polite, and she also let you spend money to buy vegetables, so you don't want to go." ”

Ling'er listened but lowered her head and whispered: "We want to eat, hungry for a full meal, occasionally meet a kind person can reward a copper coin or two, I would rather be hungry than willing to spend, all save together and then distribute it to everyone, I only have my brother and my share in hand, I really can't buy much rice, let alone buy meat dishes, the two brothers eat indiscriminately, and when you save enough money in the future, Ling'er will make food for you." ”

Lin Xiao saw that she was going to be sad again, and said deliberately relaxed: "This dish is so fragrant, it must be delicious." ”

Ling'er raised her head when she heard this, pointed to a bowl with a slight smug smile and said: "It's all too ordinary vegetarian dishes, but this dish is created by me, it is made of pine nuts with bamboo shoots and sour plums, and the dish is called 'Three Friends of the Cold', brother, try ......it."

"Three friends of the year? This dish has a good name! ”

Lin Xiao praised repeatedly, glanced at Ling'er again, and said in his heart This girl is not simple, she is obviously literate, and her knowledge is estimated to be not low.

However, Lin Xiao didn't think much about it now, under the temptation of the smell of vegetables, he had already moved his index finger, and his saliva was about to flow out.

Of course, the first time he ate with a strange girl, Lin Xiao still paid attention to the appearance of eating, he first picked up a sour plum and identified the taste in his mouth, called out "ah", and said strangely: "Huh? ”

"Oops, it's so fresh......"

Over there, Situ Zheng grabbed a piece of bamboo shoot tip entrance and shouted.

Lin Xiao hurriedly picked up a piece of bamboo shoot tip and put it in his mouth, only to feel that his mouth was full of sourness and deliciousness, and the inner beat of the foodie suddenly surged again, and he raised his chopsticks again and again, closing his eyes and tasting it.

This dish, the sour plum, the freshness of the tip of the bamboo shoots, the fragrance of pine nuts, it is needless to say, the plum kernel has been cut out, and something else is embedded, but the cool one can not taste anything, every time you chew it, there will be a different taste, or the cream is tender and smooth, or crispy and refreshing, all the flavors are varied, and the changes are varied......

"Brother, try the tofu ...... again"

Ling'er raised her hand and scooped a spoonful of tofu into Lin Xiao's bowl, Lin Xiao hurriedly put it into his mouth, and the smooth and tender tofu cubes hid in his mouth, like a bear child who couldn't catch them......

I couldn't wait to drink a small spoonful of hot soup, the taste was very different, a few small red fruits, eating like cherries in later generations, but not the same, sweet and sour, quite chic, a fragrance of zongzi leaves between the teeth and cheeks, the taste was long, Lin Xiao couldn't help but close his eyes and "ah" again...... It turned out that it was not a lotus leaf, it was boiled with dumpling leaves.

Ling'er looked at his intoxicated appearance, smiled, and said, "Brother, you haven't eaten my favorite dish yet." ”

Lin Xiao was stunned when he opened his eyes, and hurriedly asked, "What kind of food?" ”

Ling'er said with a smile: "I can't say enough for a while, for example, glutinous rice chicken, eight-treasure duck, crystal shrimp dumplings, fresh shrimp and vegetable dumplings, barbecued pork buns, and rice rolls...... There are also radish cakes, silver silk rolls, preserved eggs and lean porridge, there are more...... It's a pity that Ling'er can't afford it now, so she will definitely make it for her brother in the future. ”

"Yes...... Is it? ”

Lin Xiao was stupid when he heard it.

Listening to the names of the dishes she reported, it was not unusual, but he knew that with her ability to make these vegetarian dishes, the dishes cooked by her hands must also have a unique flavor, which makes people salivate when they think about it.

(Question: Wen Biaorui, how many generations is Wen Tianxiang's grandson?) Where did the original family live? ）
