Chapter Ninety-Four: Cooking Meat

"My sister wants a son, so she will accompany her, and you don't need to be too scheming," Tao'er stepped forward with a smile.

When Diao Chan and Xiaoshu saw it, they got up and saluted, "Meet Madame." ”

"Sister hasn't drunk sour plum soup yet?"

"I was about to drink it, and I could get a cup of sour plum soup from my wife to quench my thirst in the summer season, and the concubine was grateful."

Diao Chan picked up the wooden bowl on the table and gently brushed her black hair. The delicate face is moving, but the charming eyes are as warm as soft water, and the lips are slightly fragrant and drink the sour plum juice.

The cloth wraps around the curvaceous figure, and the exposed skin is delicate and moist, like a jewel.

Fairy appearance, fairy in the painting.

Such a beautiful face looks stupid at the villagers on the side of the road.

Diao Chan drank sour plum soup, which is a rare drink, and the sweet and sour taste is particularly attractive, and his heart is very happy.

"Madam, where has he gone, sir?"

"Childe went to Fuchun County by horse this morning, Childe went back to his hometown just to worship his parents, and now the worship is over, he went to Fuchun County, and we will live in Fuchun County after cleaning it up."

Xiao Shu's expression moved, and after taking a sip of sour plum soup, she was much happier in her heart.

The village chief's house is built of tiles, which is a rare building in the village, and most of the villagers usually build houses with stone and thatch.

It is enough to see that the village chief is "not poor." ”

Inside the house was an elderly man with dark skin, short stature, and many spots.

Niu Mu is the name of the village chief, their family was a wealthy merchant in the previous generation, and left a lot of money, he is not only the head of a village, but also the head of the pavilion.

In the past, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty sold his official position, and his ancestors also bought a small official with the money of the family, although the world has been fighting for so long, but the official position of the pavilion chief of his family has never been dismissed, and he has been in front of him from generation to generation, and now it is also on himself.

Before Jiang Wen came, Fuchun had never set up a county magistrate, and the pavilion chiefs of each pavilion did not provoke each other, and they all had their own rights, which could be described as the emperor of one party.

And now that the county magistrate is here, their rights will definitely be divided.

Niu Mu soaked a glass of warm water, added a few blades of grass to it, and sat on a wooden chair to meditate.

"That woman is really beautiful, Lao Tzu thought that Widow Yang in the village was the most beautiful, but now when I see Widow Yang, I even want to vomit."

"Big brother, why don't we take advantage of when it's dark and secretly do him...... Naturally, big brother, you first junior brother, I'll just drink the soup. ”

"If it weren't for broad daylight, Lao Tzu really couldn't help it!"

A burly young man walked in from outside the house, with a square face, a broad nose, and an ordinary appearance, while the person next to him was a little obscene.

Niu Mu's son, Niu Yi, next to him is the dog leg who has been following him, and the people in the village call him Ergouzi.

"Dad, why are you at home, aren't you going to plant rice today?"

"Son, where did you come from......" Niu Mu asked after taking a sip of water.

Niu Yi said with a smile: "I accompanied the second dog to the river and touched a few fish." ”

"Where's the fish?"

"I didn't catch it, I let it go."

Niu Yi glanced at Ergouzi, and Ergouzi left.

Niu Mu's face was slightly gloomy, "Did you go to the county magistrate's house again?!" ”

Niu Yi sat on the wooden chair next to him and said lightly, "Father, you know." ”

"I've told you how many times you can't go there again!" Niu Mu said angrily, "Put away those unbearable thoughts in your head, is that the person you can touch?" ”

"I'm happy, isn't it just a scholar, my father has accumulated so much power here, and I'm afraid that he will be a new county magistrate?" Niu Yi poured a glass of water and drank it to moisten his throat.

Niu Mu said angrily, "This time it's someone from above, the new official has three fires, these officials are going to use knives on us squires, if you make trouble for me at this time, you will push your father into the fire pit!" ”

"Dad, you're the pavilion chief, how many people are there in this ten-mile village?" Niu Yi smiled indifferently, "A new county magistrate, with only ten people with him, it is not surprising that a county magistrate died somewhere at this time." ”

"Besides, Dad, don't you have that adult to support you?"

"These are the things that make you more and more lawless!" Niu Mu said with a gloomy face, "I'm just a little person who doesn't care about that adult, and I won't care even if I die!" ”

"Okay Dad," Niu Yi said with a smile, "The last county order to come to Fuchun was killed by me in less than three days, and this matter was not also the lord who said a word for us, and then nothing happened." ”

Niu Mu snorted, "Even so, be careful in everything, but don't mess with me this time!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Niu Yi replied perfunctorily, only he knew what he was thinking.

Niu Yi walked out of the door, and the second dog had been waiting for a long time, "How is the eldest brother?" ”

"Hmph, the old man is timid and afraid, he doesn't have any guts, but if I want to see what I'm afraid of, the oil and water that the adult has fished from Fuchun over the years, how many things are handled by the old man," Niu Yi said with a smile, "Although the old man doesn't say it, as long as something happens, the adult will intervene to calm down." ”

"So, big brother, even if we kill the new county magistrate, no one will know?"

"That's natural, after all, this is not Fuchun's first county order!"

Fuchun is connected to Xiaoshan in the east and Zhuji in the south, which is a relatively wealthy place. As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, Fuchun has a famous river Fuchun River.

Huang Gongwang, a painter of the Yuan Dynasty, painted beautiful mountains and rivers with the Fuchun River as the scenery, and painted China's top ten famous paintings, "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map." ”

Jiang Wen turned over and dismounted, came to Fuchun County, and led the horse to enter through the city gate. Li Er and Yang Wu were dressed in civilian clothes and carried money bags behind them, and followed behind him.

"Sir, where are we going first?"

Jiang Wen said with a light smile, "Go to the county government office first, I have been in Fuchun for so long, and I haven't been to the county government office to see it, if this is spread, I am afraid it will be said to be dereliction of duty." ”

As a place to deal with the affairs of a county, the county government naturally also has a residence, and the general county government can be regarded as a mansion.

When Jiang Wen came to the county government office in Fuchun, the door plaque was already covered with cobwebs, and the stone steps in front of the mansion were full of dust.

The mighty stone lions on both sides are full of cracks.

The door closed, and there was a sealed note.

Jiang Wen looked at the door of the mansion suspiciously, "Go and tear it off." ”

Li Er, Yang Wu stepped forward, tore the seal and pushed it away.

The first thing you see is the courtyard, then the yatang, and there are water and fire sticks on both sides, and the mansion on the other side of the county government is connected to the county office, which should be the residence of the county order.

The courtyard was overgrown with weeds, gravel was displayed, and the hall was also dusty.

It seems that he has to clean up well, Jiang Wen looked at the county office, "Li Er." ”

"The villain is here!"

"You take some money from your purse and go find some people in the neighborhood and tell them to clean up this place." Jiang Wen said.

"Yes!" Li Er handed the money bag to Yang Wu, took out two pieces of money and put it on his body, and walked out of the mansion.

"Who are you, who allowed you to tear off the seal without permission!"

A well-dressed man walked in, with a young face and a beautiful jade, which was worth a lot of money at first glance.

Jiang Wen took out the official seal, and the other party stepped forward to check it carefully, showed a smile, and saluted and said, "It turns out that it is the new county commander, and it is polite." ”

"Dressed extraordinarily, you can also recognize the official seal, dare to ask you what kind of family you are."

"Under the name is not enough with the county order."

Jiang Wen didn't care, and asked, "You just scolded me for tearing off the seal, I want to ask what happened here?" ”

"This is not something that needs to be hidden, even if the people in the city know about it, since the adults are interested, then they will say it to the adults."

"A year ago, the imperial court set up the Wu County Taishou, but because of Yan Baihu, the county orders everywhere are running for their lives, and there is only the Taishou without the county orders, which is undoubtedly very troublesome."

"At this time, the imperial court appointed a Fuchun county magistrate, and the county magistrate arrived soon after, and his politics was incorruptible, he did not take bribes, and did not oppress the people, and he was soon loved by the people of Fuchun County."

"And three months after serving as the county magistrate, he was reported by the people, and the case was in the hands of Wu County Taishou at that time."

"The county order coveted military rations, and deducted a full 30,000 stones!"

"Thirty thousand stones?!" Jiang asked, "A county order can deduct 30,000 stone of military rations, not to mention so much grain and grass, where is it hidden so that it will not be discovered?" ”

"As the county magistrate said, there are many suspicious points in this case, but when Lord Taishou came to Fuchun to find out the case, he did not inquire about the process of the case, but forcibly sent the county order to prison, and after severe torture, forced the county order to sign and draw the detention."

"Soon after, the prefectural order was beheaded, and this government was also closed by Lord Taishou."

The young man smiled and said, "Since the new county order has arrived, then there is no need to guard the county government in the lower ranks, please allow me to resign." ”

Jiang Wen nodded, "Yang Wu, quickly send the pavilion chiefs from all over the country and ask them to bring the field book to me." ”

"Yes!"

In Xiaohe Village, Niu Mu was eating a meal, frowning and silent, and Niu Yi on the side asked, "Dad, what's the matter with you?" ”

"As soon as the county magistrate arrived, he had to check our field register, and the new official took office, and the three fires were sure to be!" Niu Mu ate a piece of lotus root and said.

"Then let him see! Anyway, they've already done their tricks. ”

"Although I have done tricks, I am afraid that the county order will see any clues, and if I find out......"

"What about finding out? Even if the county magistrate sees the clues, it's still a question of whether he can say it, Dad, what happened to the last county magistrate......"

Niu Mu scolded angrily, "Eat your meal, say that you don't want anything to end up with the adult, if it really arouses the attention of the above, not only us, but the adult may also lose his head!" ”

"I'm just casually saying, Dad, why should you be nervous." Niu Yi put down the bowl and wanted to go out.

"Where are you going?"

"Go out for a walk."

At night, the bright moon is in the sky, the moonlight is like a mist veil hazy scenery, in the river, the silver and white starlight floats, extremely beautiful.

Jiang Wen's room, hot water was boiling in the room, and it was poured into a wooden barrel to cool off.

The beauty is undressed, and the delicate ketone body as white as ivory is revealed, and the perfect curve is attractive.

Outside the house, Niu Yi was followed by Ergouzi, jumping on the hillside behind, watching the shadow of the other party's lamp and candle on the hillside.

After that, he relied on his own imagination and swallowed his saliva.

The fragrant feet of the sable cicada stretched, the water droplets soaked the jade legs, the whole body sank in the warm water, and the face was red, revealing a comfortable appearance.

Outside the house, Xiaoshu looked around vigilantly, she felt more and more that something was wrong in the past few days, and the villagers who passed by the roadside today had seen it a few times earlier.

That's not a simple matter, she knows the charm of Miss clearly, that is, staying at home in Xiangyang can also provoke the children of the major scholars to fall crazy for it, and now many people in the village have seen Miss, I'm afraid that someone has been targeted.

The other eight personal soldiers were also standing outside the house, patrolling back and forth in the vicinity, they were Jiang Wen's personal soldiers, and it was an unshirkable duty for them to protect the wife.

Jiang Wen rode in the carriage and stretched his waist, only Yang Wu was with him, leaving Li Er in Fuchun, and when he took care of it, he came back to inform him.

Now that he has served as a county commander, he has six hundred stones, which is almost half less than the salary of the military advisor's sacrificial wine, although Jiang Wen doesn't care much about money, but it is better to save money.

It was already dark at the moment, and naturally there was no delicious dinner, so Jiang Wen took out a piece of meat from the bamboo basket behind Yang Wu.

"It's been a long time since I've cooked by myself." Jiang Wen carried the meat and went to the kitchen.

I have lived here for more than ten years, and I know how to walk with my eyes closed.

The meat is pork, and the pork in ancient times was lowly meat, and the price was very cheap, and three catties of pork were not even comparable to the price of one stone of rice.

"The noble refuse to eat, and the poor do not understand cooking", the famous foodie Su Shi, Su Dongpo left a famous quote for him.

Pork has a strong fishy smell and has more fat than other meats, so eating it will only make people feel fat and nothing else.

Boiling water in the kitchen, boiling the water and boiling the pork, I sat down on a wooden chair and watched the firewood continue to be thrown in the fire.

The fire was very big, Jiang Wen estimated the time, scooped up the pork in the water, chopped the green onions, ginger and sugar, and poured the sauce.

Cut the pork into 10 pieces, and the bright red meat is simmered in boiling water until it is already cooked.

Jiang Wen put it in the basin, began to wash off the slag with water, then picked up the casserole on the side, scooped the cold water in the jar, poured it into the casserole, put the pork in, and then mixed it with water until it was just over the pork.

Then add the chopped green onions, ginger cubes, fennel...... Lift the casserole, place it on the fire, and pull out a few sticks of firewood to keep the fire slightly smaller and keep it on medium heat.

After the fire was boiling, a few more sticks of wood were pulled out, and the fire was changed to a simmer and began to simmer slowly, allowing every drop of meat juice to dissolve in the pork.

Half an hour later, when he saw that the meat in the pot was about to rot, he put the sauce, but there was no cooking wine to remove the fish, which made Jiang Wen a little regretful, but the fragrance of fennel was enough!

Then put it on the fire again and boil until it boils, change to a simmer and simmer until the meat pieces are completely soft, and throw a few pieces of sugar into the pot.
