Chapter 134 Hot pot with Chinese wine
The next day, Gu Bei led Luo Shi Sailai's little eyeliner Qing'er to Luobei Port, Xiao Ran led a group of people to follow secretly, if there were any more flies that couldn't pounce, they would have to catch some live mouths.
Just after leaving the house for half a cup of tea, a little girl with two maids stopped the carriage and jumped over, holding a sugar gourd in her left hand and a letter in her right hand.
"Who is Gu Gongzi?"
When Gu Bei heard someone calling him, he lifted the curtain, and an innocent little girl appeared in front of him.
Jumping out of the carriage and squatting down, Gu Bei smiled and nodded, reaching out and touching the little girl's hair.
"Little sister, are you looking for me?"
"Well, a young lady's letter to you, look at it, I still have to eat sugar gourds!"
The little girl stuffed the letter into Gu Bei's arms and ran away happily, her figure coming and going like the wind, extremely chic.
Little sister?
Qing'er heard it clearly, and looked at Gu Bei with strange eyes, and she didn't know who her uncle hooked up with?
Walked to the side of the tree sprouted, opened the envelope and took a cursory look, the font was beautiful, and it was written by a woman. In the content, Mercy Dream revealed some news.
According to Lianmeng, the assassin of Gu Bei a few days ago was sent by an organization called the "Mask Party".
According to rumors, this is a newly established killer organization, which is well-organized and developing rapidly, and has attracted many relationships, and knows everything about Tianfu.
The business of the mask party is to kill people, take people's money, and eliminate disasters for people, and this organization does not accept all tasks, and after the buyer gives money, he analyzes the difficulty of the target and then decides whether to accept it.
The masked party has the advantage that as long as they take on the task, they will not give up until they achieve their goal.
Gu Bei had a headache, according to the information provided by Lian Meng, this mask party is a bullshit plaster, and he doesn't know what trouble will happen in the future.
Gu Bei dealt with it carefully, inspected it all day long, and when he returned home, nothing happened.
Gu Bei would not be stupid enough to think that the Mask Party had given up the assassination, the ghost knows what bad ideas this Mask Party is thinking, the calmer it is on the surface, the more careful it must be.
When I got home, I plunged into the study, which has been completely transformed by Gu Bei and has become a place for experiments.
After searching, Gu Bei's face turned a little dark, what about the jar of wine on the bookshelf?
Pushing open the door, I saw Xiao Ran holding a wine bottle under the big tree.
"Where's that jar of wine in the house?" In Gu Bei, those who dared to enter the house to steal wine, except for a few people, no one dared to enter.
Xiao Ran secretly smashed his mouth and replied loudly: "Uncle, this wine must not have been taken by so-and-so, you should know, this so-and-so has been by your side all the time." ”
It's not Xiao Ran, who is that? Luo Shi is pregnant, it is impossible to drink, Qing'er and Xiao Ran have been with her today.
This jar of wine was specially left by him, you must know that there were no antibiotics in ancient times, in case the wound was infected and the condition worsened, there was no treatment at all, and he could only lie down and wait for death.
Without a sense of disinfection, countless people die from wound infections every year.
Gu Beizheng was thinking to himself, and when there was a sound of footsteps, he saw his old man Bai Batian walking over slowly accompanied by the housekeeper Huang Zhong. The first sentence that Bai Batian said when he opened his mouth almost scared Gu Bei to death.
"Gu boy, you have also learned to hide your secrets, this wine is stronger than the wine you drank a few days ago, you can get a few more jars and send them to the old man!"
Hey, after the old man got drunk last time, Gu Bei mixed all the wine, leaving only one jar of the strongest wine. Facing the old man's trouble, Gu Bei ran over and bent over to laugh with him.
"Old man, aren't you embarrassed for your juniors? Last time, after you got drunk with a greedy cup, Luo Shi still counted me down, and I still dared to brew it. There is only one jar of the strongest wine left, which I originally thought would be used for disinfection in the future, but your old man opened his mouth to see a few jars......"
"For disinfection?" Bai Batian's expression was very puzzled after hearing this, drinking alcohol can also detoxify? This is a very ......
Gu Bei held his forehead for a while, forgetting that boiling salt water is generally used for disinfection in this era, and the disinfection effect of salt water is of course not as good as alcohol, but it is better than nothing. What medical bandages...... Then I didn't have to think about it at all, I just tore off the gauze and even the dress to wrap the wound.
So, Gu Bei popularized modern health knowledge to his husband.
"In that case, why didn't you tell the old man earlier, if this alcohol disinfection method is promoted, how many casualties can be avoided among the officers and soldiers in the army."
Khan, didn't you ask? Let's talk about these low-alcohol wines of the Xia Dynasty...... He was too rare to say.
"Old man, the stronger the wine used for disinfection, the better the disinfection effect," Gu Bei said euphemistically......
"Then Gu Kid hurry up and make more spirits, and I will find you to buy the disinfected wine used in the army in the future."
Well, before the promotion of fine wine began, a large order was received in advance, and it was a military work order, so it would be good if someone in the DPRK was really an official! Before Gu Bei had time to be happy, the old man continued: "However, Gu boy, you can't be too dark, at most the cost price will rise a little bit......
Nani?
Husband, you ...... You're not going to get on the hell, are you? Or do you have the disease of "caring for the country and not caring for the family"?
I'm your grandson-in-law! and the money you earn for your children and grandchildren...... Uh, flowers!
Gu Bei decided to retract the sentence just now, my husband is a pit for his own family!
"That's it!" The final word, Gu Bei is not allowed to question, the old man who has dedicated his life to Xia Guo is in a good mood, holding his beard, and is not in a hurry to leave, "Gu boy, the old man will eat here tonight." ”
“......”
You're old ......
Gu Bei wants to cry without tears, this is an addiction to taking advantage of his grandson-in-law, and I am frustrated in the shopping mall, and the kitchen is still in charge of food......
"Okay, you always rest."
Gu Bei squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, called Xiao Ran and went into the kitchen, how much wine this guy has drunk, he can't let him be idle.
Then, there was a strange sound in the kitchen: "Chop chop ......"
The voice is very rhythmic, and it makes people sound a little embarrassed and relaxed.
In the kitchen, Xiao Ran held a kitchen knife in his hand, quite a husband and a man could not open the momentum, the kitchen knife danced very briskly, the knife cut the mutton on the cutting board, the mutton was cut off piece by piece, thin as cicada wings, light as paper.
"Cut more, and Uncle Ben will make you something to eat."
Xiao Ran's kitchen knife flew, and the corners of his mouth twitched, isn't it just barbecue, uncle...... Uh, I'm tired of eating this morning......
"Don't believe me? We'll see us eat later!"
You invite so-and-so, and so-and-so don't eat...... Uh, the main thing is that he didn't dare, Xiao Ran smashed his mouth, and began to miss the taste of Chinese wine, and the kitchen knife in his hand waved faster and faster.
Before he could say anything more, he suddenly heard a thunderous voice and the old man's hearty laughter in the courtyard, and Gu Bei knew that the "No. 1 Hob of Great Xia" had also come to eat.
I don't know what day it is, two of the top few giants in the army are in his yard, could it be that the civil servants of Xia Country have taken leave in advance?
Gu Bei cleaned his hands in the basin on the side, wiped it with a towel, and walked out of the kitchen to salute, anyway, the matter is explained, and someone will do it.
After a while, Xiao Ran ran out and said, "Uncle, according to your orders: it has been cut." ”
Gu Bei nodded, went to the study to move out a stove, and went to the kitchen, and after a while, Gu Bei and Xiao Ran walked out, Xiao Ran put a tray filled with water on the table in the middle, and Gu Bei put the stove in the middle of the tray......
The old man and Cheng Wushu had never seen such a strange-looking stove, so they couldn't help but take a closer look.
But seeing that the head of this furnace is pointy, it is a round furnace stab, the middle waist and abdomen are wide, and a round belly suddenly appears, there are two pull rings on it, and there is a base below, the hollow is engraved with patterns, and the charcoal fire is burning inside, and the charcoal fire passes through the belly of the furnace that seems to be hollow, and occasionally a few traces of sparks are seen coming out of the furnace barrel above.
Immediately afterwards, the chef brought a plate of dishes, verdant cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, tender yellow bean sprouts, and swarthy wild mountain mushrooms, but they were as thin as cicada wings, crystal clear, and made people look forward to their appetite.
It's a pity that they are all raw......
Before the old man could ask, Cheng Wudi couldn't wait to say: "Gu boy, what do you want to do with a stove and so many lettuce in the summer?" Treat your elders like this? ”
Uh, really...... I want to take a little revenge on the old man.
This was originally specially built by him and prepared for winter, but now, it can only be a little bit ahead......
Gu Bei smiled incomprehensibly, stepped forward and grabbed the two buckles on the waist and abdomen of the furnace with both hands, and lifted them with a slight mention, which turned out to be a lid.
Under the lid is a ring-shaped pot around the stove, the water contained in it is already boiling, bubbling with white gas, Gu Bei Ren hot poured the green vegetables into a few plates, covered the lid, and said, "Just boil the pot and eat." ”
The three of them shared a share of the pre-prepared sauce in a jar, and as for Xiao Ran, he looked at it bitterly......
The old man had never seen such tableware and such a way to eat, so he pointed to the stove and asked, "What is this?" ”
Gu Bei said while dividing the seasoning: "Hot pot." ”
"There is fire in the pot, worthy of the name, Cheng has never seen it, where did you get it from, Gu boy?"
'You've seen it, you're ghosted'
"This hot pot was invented by me...... Gu Bei shamelessly took it for himself, and did not forget to despise Cheng Invincible.
"What a pig...... What a brain! ”
Pig... Good brain?
Are you scolding us? Or scold us?
Gu Bei's face was full of black lines, and he really wanted to press that nasty black face into the pot......
As he spoke, the hot pot boiled.
Gu Bei lifted the lid, poured the cut mutton into the plate, and shouted, "Go!" After speaking, he reached out and grabbed a chopstick mutton, pressed it in the boiling soup and took it out after a few times, put it in a bowl and dipped it in the sauce to roll, and put it in his mouth, hot and inhaled, but his heart was addicted, and the familiar taste was ......
The old man also did the same, stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the mutton, dipped it in the sauce, and put it in his mouth...... I almost burned my tongue out!
But the deliciousness of the mutton and the spicy sauce constitute a perfect taste, and the old man chews it carefully.
Then he exclaimed, "It's delicious!"
After finishing speaking, no one agreed, and the old eyes were swept away, and the other two ate meat with vegetables, sweating profusely.
Cheng Wushu snatched a piece of meat that Gu Bei was holding with a chopstick, "Impolite Gu boy, dare to grab meat from Shibo, are you impatient?" ”
Nima, you have to play "hob" when you eat? The thief Lala despised it.
How can a hot pot work without wine? Of course, Chinese hot pot should be paired with Xia Guo's Chinese wine!
Gu Bei waved his hand and shouted, "Serve the wine!" ”
Then a maid brought up the wine in a glass bottle, put it on the table, and bowed down. Uncorked the bottle, Gu Bei carried the wine bottle and poured a full glass for the three of them.
The wine was clear and transparent, shiny, poured into the glass cup, the old man and Cheng Wushu were numb by the spicy tongue, smelled the aroma of the wine, and drank it all.
The three of them poured wine while picking up vegetables, until their stomachs swelled, and they found that they had drunk two bottles of Chinese wine before they knew it.
At this time, the old man put down the wine glass, let out a long breath, and sighed: "This Chinese wine is really the best in the wine, with endless aftertaste, with hot pot hot sauce, it is really delicious in the world!" ”
Cheng Wushu heard this, poured a cup, grinned and said: "Grandpa's words are really wonderful, Cao Mengde said, 'How to solve worries, only Du Kang', according to a certain opinion, this Chinese wine can also relieve worries." ”
When you are full of wine and food, you will talk more.
Gu Bei's handsome face was dyed red by the smell of wine, and he sighed lightly and said: "A drunk relieves a thousand sorrows, and a wine wakes up even more sorrowful......
"This sentence is extremely secondary, it's just that Gu boy, what kind of bothering you are."
It's just a casual groan, why don't you still listen to the secret.
Gu Bei smiled bitterly, kept his mouth shut, and drank slowly.
After Cheng Wudi made an allusion, he stopped saying and started a new round of snoring and eating and drinking.
After a while, the old man got up and left the table.
Cheng Wudi had to get up to say goodbye with his big belly, and before Gu Bei could get up to see him off, he saw Cheng Wudi walk to the door, turned back, stared at the hot pot on the table, and asked, "Gu boy, where did you get this thing, remember to send one to a certain mansion." ”
When Gu Bei heard this, his eyes rolled, and he said, "This hot pot was invented by the kid and made by the blacksmith in the house. Originally, it was a kid's honor to see this thing, so why not give it away? However, this thing seems simple, but in fact, it is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and copper-consuming...... Shibo wants, Tong Su is not bullied at a price, and a pot is five hundred taels!"
"Poof"
Xiao Ran, who was coveting this hot pot on the side, just poured in a sip of wine, and squirted out the wine in his mouth when he heard the words.
Five hundred taels? Uncle, do you really dare to ask for a wow......
You must know that this pot was made by him to find a blacksmith for his uncle, how much is the value, can he still not know? This pot costs less than five taels in total, including copper.
Cheng Wushu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously repeated: "Five hundred taels? But then he came back to his senses, and roared in his voice: "Gu boy, why don't you grab it?" ”
Gu Bei also felt that he was a little dark-hearted, and was about to reduce the price to fifty taels.
Who knew that Cheng Wudi said with a dark face: "I see that the food cooked in this pot is tender and delicious, and it will be a hundred taels ......."
"Deal!"
Seeing that Gu Bei was so refreshing, Cheng Wushu didn't know that he had been wronged, his old face suddenly turned black, and he left without saying hello to him.
Xizizi put away the silver ticket, and the old man also left, Gu Bei suddenly felt relaxed for a while, no way, the old man was here, he was a little too stressed and couldn't let go......
When he turned his head, Gu Bei's eyes suddenly widened, and he shouted, "Xiao Ran, are you a pig?" ”
But seeing that the table was in a mess, all the food on the plate was poured into the hot pot by Xiao Ran, and a pair of chopsticks danced and flew up......
Xiao Ran turned a deaf ear, the wine glass in his left hand, the chopsticks flying in his right hand, and said vaguely: "It's so delicious......
Gu Bei wanted to say a word or two more to him, but suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, and looked back, but it was his own lady who came back with Qing'er's support.
As soon as she entered the door, Qing'er's little nose was cocked like a puppy, sniffed vigorously, and said in surprise: "It's so fragrant, uncle, what are you eating?" ”
Bai Luoshi's beautiful eyes were shining, staring at the copper hot pot on the table, and swallowed.
Recently, Bai Luoshi frequently went to Mrs. Qin's residence, and the two daughters ate some pastries at Mrs. Qin's casually, when they smelled the aroma of meat and vegetables, their little stomachs couldn't help gurgling.
As soon as Gu Bei saw it, he knew that the two girls probably hadn't eaten, so he called the maid in, removed the dishes on the table, replaced the clear soup in the hot pot, and then instructed the kitchen to prepare vegetables and mutton in the same way.
Xiao Ran saw the eldest lady coming back, stood up to salute, touched her stomach, burped, sighed comfortably, and said, "Uncle, your hot pot is much better than barbecue." ”
Gu Bei rolled his eyes, let you eat barbecue every day, and the taste will kill you.
After a while, the maid brought the cut vegetables and mutton, Gu Bei picked up the chopsticks and picked up the vegetables and mutton and put them into the boiling hot pot, while whispering softly about the matters that should be paid attention to when eating hot pot, don't cook the dishes old, otherwise you will lose your vitamins, and you can eat the mutton shabu shabu and change color, otherwise there will be no delicious taste......
When the soup boiled, Gu Bei took out the green vegetables and put them in the bowl of Niangzi and Qing'er, and began to shake the mutton skillfully.
Qing'er's face was red, her big bright eyes were rippling like a lake, biting her red lips, and making a tactful clear voice, "Aunt Xie......"
The little girl's heart rippled, and after coming to Baifu, except for the eldest lady, no one had ever taken care of herself so carefully...... Now there is another uncle......
Bai Luoshi looked at the soft-spoken, considerate and meticulous husband, and lost her mind for a moment.
I don't know when I got used to this man by my side, watching him smile and make shabu for himself and Qing'er, sometimes picking out slightly yellowed vegetable leaves and throwing them away, and from time to time telling the mutton to be too hot to the mouth, but it will smell when it is cold, and it is best to eat it in one bite while it will not be hot......
A strong sense of happiness spread in Bai Luoshi's heart, so sweet that it almost overshadowed the delicious taste of mutton.
It's good to have such a husband......
