Chapter 60: Dog Meat Fan Xu
After the celebration banquet, it was already evening, Deng Yulong returned to the camp commander's tent, the time was still early, and after playing backgammon with the attendants for a while, he took a bath and went to sleep.
The next morning.
With the arrival of new cold air, the sky, which had been clear for several days, began to drift snowflakes.
The Han army camp is in the house, and the men are busy.
Fan Hao took the basin and stepped into the room, which surprised the guys.
"Brothers, I haven't seen you for a long time!"
Fan spoke with a smile on his face and placed the basin on the cutting board, which was filled with fresh dog meat.
The man said, "General Fan, you haven't been here for several months. It seems that King Han wants to eat the dog meat you made. ”
In the past, when he fought with the Qin army, Fan Xu occasionally went to the gang room to cook dog meat, which was for Liu Bang or important people to eat.
This guy is the head of the gang and followed Liu Bang in the Pei County uprising, he is not very good at fighting, but his cooking skills are good, so he has always been responsible for the management of the gang, unless he cooks for Liu Bang and a certain level of people, or he generally does not cook.
Fan Hao said: "This time, I will only make it for one person, and that is the general." ”
The man said: "The general commanded the army to win several battles, and the king of Han asked you to make dog meat for him to eat." ”
Fan Hao shook his hand and said: "No, no, no, I used to be disrespectful to the general, I specially made dog meat for him to eat, and made amends to him." ”
Anyway, he started to do it, starting from cutting meat, then cooking, seasoning matching, etc., the whole process is handy, he used to open a dog meat restaurant in Pei County, and he has done dog meat countless times, so he has such a skillful technique.
After a while, the room was full of fragrance, and the dog meat with all the color and flavor had been prepared and put in the pot.
The captain of the gang also wanted to reach out and take out two pieces of dog meat to eat as before, but was immediately stopped by Fan Xu.
"This meal is for the general, and no one is allowed to eat it."
Fan Xu put the lid on the vegetable pot, picked it up and walked towards the handsome tent.
The sky was full of snowflakes, and at the door of the tent, the halberders were standing guard normally despite the cold.
Fan Xu, who was holding the vegetable pot, walked quickly here, and when he approached the handsome tent, he was stopped by the halberdier.
Fan Xu said: "I'm looking for the general and pass it on." ”
A halberdier walked to the door of the tent, and the attendant said to him, "The general is still sleeping." ”
The halberd immediately returned.
"The general hasn't woken up yet."
The halberd said, "General Fan, is there something important?" If you don't have anything important, please go back first. ”
Fan Hao said: "I specially made dog meat for the general to eat." ”
The halberd said: "Eating dog meat is not a big deal. The general ordered that if he was resting, he should not be woken up unless there was an emergency. I also asked General Fan to go back first and come back in an hour or two. ”
Fan Xu said: "It's the general who wants to eat my dog meat, if you pass it on, the general will definitely not blame." ”
The halberd man almost pleaded: "General Fan, please don't embarrass me, if the general blames me, I will become the second Yin Gai." ”
Fan Hao couldn't help it, he thought about going back to his tent and coming back later, but he also thought that the general might wake up at any time, let him taste his dog meat as soon as possible, or stay here and wait for him until he woke up.
In the handsome tent, Deng Yulong had woken up in a daze, it was the middle of winter, the weather was cold, and he had won a big battle, and he planned to march tomorrow, so he was in a relaxed mood, so he slept lazy.
On the land of Guanzhong, snowflakes are still fluttering.
Fan Hao continued to wait outside the tent, with a lot of snowflakes hanging on his head and shoulders.
The halberd man really couldn't see it, and said: "General Fan, the general doesn't know when he woke up, you better go back first!" As soon as the general wakes up, I will send someone to inform you, do you think it's okay? ”
Of course, he knew about Fan Xu's relationship with the King of Han, but the general's military orders were very strict, and he didn't dare to wake up the general at the risk of being punished.
Fan Xu didn't accept his suggestion, and said in an affirmative tone: "You can stand guard here, I'll wait here for what's the problem." ”
At about 11 o'clock, Deng Yulong finally got up.
The attendant immediately said: "General, General Fan Xu is waiting for you outside, saying that he made dog meat for you." ”
Deng Yulong remembered that yesterday afternoon's celebration banquet was with Fan Xu.
He hurriedly dressed and walked out of the tent door quickly, only to see Fan Hao standing next to the halberd-bearer, and there was a vegetable pot beside him.
Seeing Deng Yulong, Fan Xu immediately picked up the vegetable pot: "General, you finally got up, I've been waiting for you for more than an hour." He walked as he spoke, and came to Deng Yulong.
Deng Yulong looked a little embarrassed, patted the snowflakes on his head and shoulders with both hands, and said, "Oh, I really slept too much, I didn't know you came so early." ”
He glanced at the halberd and blamed, "Why didn't General Fan wake me up when he came?" ”
The halberd lang panicked: "General, the last general will strictly enforce your military regulations, and there is no emergency, so I dare not wake you up." The last general thinks that eating dog meat is not an emergency! ”
This really can't be blamed on the halberd, Deng Yulong didn't say anything to him, and brought Fan Hao into the handsome tent.
In the tent, the soldiers prepared the charcoal fire, and Fan Hao took matters into his own hands to reheat the dog meat and fill a bowl of Deng Yulong.
"King Han also likes to eat the dog meat I make, general, you can taste it."
Deng Yulong picked up and ate the next piece with a quick clip, the taste is really good, Fan Xu's cooking skills can be passed down to modern times, and he is indeed not very skilled.
Fan Xu was very concerned about Deng Yulong's evaluation of him, and asked, "General, how about the dog meat that my old Fan personally cooked?" ”
Deng Yulong gave a thumbs up and praised: "Good, very good." ”
The two ate together, chatting while eating.
For the first time dining alone with Fan Xu, Deng Yulong looked at Fan Xu carefully again and said, "Fan Xu, I found that there is someone who is very similar to you?" ”
Fan Hao smiled and said: "General, my old Fan is not good-looking, but there is someone like me?" Who is this person? ”
Deng Yulong said: "His name is Zhang Fei, he is about the same size as you, with a leopard's head and eyes, a tiger's waist and a bear's back, and a beard. ”
In terms of appearance, Fan Xu is really a bit similar to Zhang Fei's appearance in modern film and television works, and he simply blows water.
Fan Xu immediately became excited and asked, "Where is Zhang Fei?" Why haven't you heard of this person before, you quickly call him to come here with our Han army, he looks so much like me, I will meet him well. ”
Deng Yulong said: "His family is in Youzhou, I can't inform him, and when I have the opportunity to go to Youzhou, I will find him." ”
Fan was puzzled and asked, "Youzhou?" Where is Youzhou, it seems that I haven't heard of this place name? ”
The Qin Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty both implemented the county system, and the Eastern Han Dynasty divided the world into thirteen states.
Deng Yulong said: "Four years ago, I only had a relationship with him, he said that his hometown was in Youzhou, and I didn't know where Youzhou was. Honestly, you look too much like him. ”
Seeing that the general likes to eat and cook by himself, Fan Hao chatted happily, thinking that the general had forgiven himself, and he was also happy in his heart.
