At this time, there is no environmental pollution in the environment, the forest coverage rate is high, and the population is sparse, and all kinds of wild animals such as wild boars, hares, pheasants, etc. are very common. Zeng Yu set a trap and left, and when they came back for half an hour, they saw a full harvest, more than ten traps, a total of four hares, three pheasants and a small wild boar, but looking at the posture, it should have escaped a bigger one, after all, their traps are all taken from local materials.

Seeing this, Guo Jia shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity, it's a pity!" ”

Zeng Yu patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Be content, Fengxiao, these are enough for us to eat, just your stomach, you solve these first." ”

"It depends on the chef's craft." Guo Jia shot back.

"Fengxiao, don't worry, we and the lord have grown up in the mountains since we were children, and we dare not say anything else, but you can be absolutely assured of the craftsmanship of barbecue."

It's also true, they have all learned a skill, and when they were half old, they liked to run all over the ground with adults. When I grew up, I learned to design traps to catch small prey, and of course I was treating myself after catching them, so I was very good at handling prey.

"Zirou, your words have awakened all the worms in my stomach, and if you deceive them later, you will have to compensate." Guo Jia quipped.

"Chengyong, you take a few people to the small river we just saw to clean up these wild boars and pheasants. Zirou, you take someone to pick up some firewood, and after half an hour, we will still meet here. Zeng Yu instructed Zhu Wen and Zhao Yi.

"Yes!" The two of them left with four of their own soldiers.

"Fengxiao, don't look at it, we can't be idle, get some wild ingredients, so that the barbecue is delicious." Zeng Yu patted Guo Jia, who was still staring at Zhu Wen and them, and said to him.

After speaking, without waiting for Guo Jia to answer, Zeng Yu took the remaining two personal soldiers and walked towards the woods. Zeng Yu came to the woods and picked some wild spices that are usually used when roasting meat on Taihang Mountain, as for salt and the like, Zeng Yu is ready to take with him, don't worry.

Guo Jia was confused about Zeng Yu's picking, these things were weeds or wild fruits to him, he didn't know what effect these picking would play after picking, Zeng Yu didn't explain to him, if Guo Jia liked it, he would think about it himself.

When Zeng Yu came back from picking, he didn't see Zhu Wen and Zhao Yi, knowing that they shouldn't have done it yet, he first instructed two soldiers to cut some thick tree trunks to build a grill.

Zhu Wen and the others rushed back first, and dealt with the wild boars and pheasants, as well as the little beasts. Except for Guo Jia, everyone else is a veteran, and they will soon put the cleaned hares and other things on the grill. When they weren't finished, Zhao Yi also came back with people back and forth, Zeng Yu asked people to raise the fire, and then he, Zhao Yi and Zhu Wen did it to relive the happy memories of the past on Taihang Mountain, and the little wild boar was handed over to the pro-soldiers, Zeng Yu just built a large, three and four grills, and the big one was reserved for the pro-soldiers to roast the little wild boar.

The fire was very big, and soon the fragrance diffused, making the people waiting next to him swallow their saliva, and even Guo Jia couldn't help but ask, "Lord, it's so fragrant, can you eat it?" ”

Zeng Yu saw Guo Jia looking at him with blank eyes, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, how can it be so fast, look at the pheasant in Zirou's hand, it is faster." ”

"Mine is still early, don't worry." Zhao Yi heard Zeng Yu mention the pheasant in his hand, and shouted while sprinkling some spices and salt on the pheasant.

The grease dripped into the firewood below as it continued to roast, making a sizzling sound. Grab a handful of spices just picked in the mountains and sprinkle them, and pour some wild fruit juice on them, the steam fills the air, and the aroma is even more tangy. At this time, not only Guo Jia, but everyone, including Zeng Yu, was swallowed by the fragrant saliva that kept wafting into their noses.

Picking up the hare in his hand from the grill and putting it on the leaves he had just picked, Zeng Yu took out the dagger he carried with him, roasted it with fire, and then said to Guo Jia, "Fengxiao, come and taste it, and see how about the only craft that has been passed down from generation to generation in our Qianlong Village." ”

took a rabbit leg handed over by Zeng Yu, Guo Jia was not afraid of being hot, so he bit it directly, chewed it and stopped, staring at Zeng Yu with wide eyes. Zeng Yu thought that there was a problem with the taste, and just wanted to taste it, he saw Guo Jia chewing it quickly, and Guo Jia answered Zeng Yu with his own actions.

"Lord, this is the best barbecue I've ever tasted. If you knew that you had such a good craft, we should have gone out more, and everyone could be treated badly, and we couldn't treat our own mouths badly. Guo Jia shouted.

"Haha, now we know we didn't talk big!" Zhu Wen shouted with a smile next to him.

"It was my fault just now, you shouldn't doubt everyone's craftsmanship, then punish me to get rid of all this meat." Guo Jia shouted.

"Fengxiao, you're not a punishment, it's a reward." Zhao Yi said.

"Haha!" Everyone laughed.

After Zeng Yu started, Zhao Yi and Zhu Wen's roasted things were also cooked, a total of four hares and three pheasants. The little wild boar roasted by the soldiers will take a while, Zeng Yu asked them to leave two people there to watch the fire, and the others came to eat together, the soldiers hesitated at first, Zeng Yu said, "You are my closest guard, what are you polite, come and eat, this is an order!" ”

The soldiers listened to Zeng Yu's words, and did not hesitate, and came over, Zeng Yu handed them two freshly roasted hares and a pheasant, let them taste it first, and the soldiers took the pheasant and the hare, and took out the saber and started to eat.

Guo Jia ate the meat that Zeng Yu and their hands roasted for the first time, so they ate it quickly, and almost all of the others that Zeng Yu roasted entered Guo Jia's stomach except for the leg that was still in Zeng Yu's hands. At this time, just after eating, Guo Jia aimed his eyes at the little wild boar that was still on the fire, and he opened his mouth to ask the two soldiers, "Is this wild boar okay?" ”

"Your Excellency, that's fine, you wait, wait until we cut it for you!" The pro-soldier replied.

"Great!"

When it's all baked, everyone uses the tools in their hands and eats the big pieces. Because everyone was hungry, coupled with the constant aroma stimulation of the barbecue, everyone had a great appetite, and a total of 100 catties of meat was almost quickly eaten by them.

After he was full of wine and food, Zeng Yu saw that the time was not early, it should have been almost past Shen Shi, that is, after 4 o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, it had been most of the day since they came out, and after they had finished eating, they cleaned up the camp and then rode to the county seat.

By the time they arrived at the inn in Chiping County, the time had passed and the sun was about to set, but they didn't seem to want to leave yet, so they tried their best to paint a splendid sunset to prove their significance to the world.

When I returned to the inn, I happened to meet a few soldiers who had gone out shopping in the afternoon and came back from shopping, and they saw Zeng Yu and them, and they came forward to salute a few people. Zeng Yu nodded, and at the same time asked them, "How many of you will go out in the afternoon?" ”

"Back to the lord, in the afternoon we went out to buy some bamboo slips and came back, and everyone else was still reading the military book inside." A personal soldier shook the blank bamboo slip behind him and replied to Zeng Yu.

"Well, it's good to copy more books, and you still need to talk to me or Fengxiao later." Zeng Yu pointed at Guo Jia and said to them.

Knowing that the soldiers hadn't eaten dinner yet, Zeng Yu asked the shopkeeper to help them order wine and food, while he himself returned to their respective rooms with Guo Jia and a few others. Today was their last night in Chiping County, and they didn't talk all night, they went back to read the book and rested.

After Zeng Yu woke up the next day, he asked the soldiers to pack up their things first and then go out of the north gate together to wait for them, Zeng Yu, Zhao Yi and Zhu Wen still needed to say goodbye to Cui Yuan. They came to visit Cui Yuan this time, and now that they are leaving, it is due etiquette to go and say hello to Cui Yuan.

Cui Yuan was working in the county government at this time, and when the people reported that Zeng Yu and others were visiting, Cui Yuan did not stop the official business in his hands, but just ordered his subordinates to bring Zeng Yu and the three people in.

"I've seen Uncle Cui!" The three of them came to Cui Yuan's room and saluted Cui Yuan.

"Here, you're here to say goodbye today!" Cui Yuan put down the wolf pen in his hand, raised his head and looked at the three of them and said.

"Sure enough, we can't hide it from Uncle Cui, we plan to go to Hejian County, and we are here to ask you for our resignation today." As the son of Cui Yuan's friend, Zhao Yi replied naturally.

"This is Chiping County, and as a local parent official, I still have some news channels. Yesterday you went out of the county for a day, and a few days and early in the morning let the soldiers go out of the city from the north gate, the three of you came, what would it be if you didn't say goodbye? Cui Yuan said angrily.

This is also Zeng Yu They did not hide their whereabouts, everyone was riding a tall horse, and after the people of the county government knew that Zeng Yu was a distinguished guest of the county order, they arranged for people to pay attention to their whereabouts to avoid accidents. For example, when the soldiers went out of the city today, the soldiers at the gate of the city hurriedly reported the news to the county government, so Cui Yuan also expected Zeng Yu and the purpose of their coming over today.

"Because there are some things that need to be dealt with in Anping County, we can't go out for too long, and this time we came to Jizhou, we were fortunate to meet Uncle Cui, which also benefited us a lot." Zeng Yu said that he was worried that Cui Yuan might be dissatisfied with them for staying for the past few days, so he specially explained.

"I understand these, since you are leaving, I don't have anything to give you, this letter is the letter of introduction I promised you before, you can use him to visit Tian Yuanhao. In addition, this painting is written by me myself, and I give it to you, Zirou! Cui Yuan walked down, rolled up the freshly written notebook on the table, and handed it to Zhao Yi and Zeng Yu along with the letter.

"Thank you, Uncle Cui!" Zeng Yu and Zhao Yi took the notebook and the letter and thanked Cui Yuan.

Cui Yuan raised his hand to say that he was not polite, he walked up to Zhu Wen and said to him, "You are Chengyong, right, I am not good at soldiers and martial arts, and I have nothing to give you, do a good job, you have met a good lord." ”

"Uncle Xie Cui, I will." Zhu Wen said with his fists clenched.
