Chapter 124: It's Snowing
Although it is very puzzled and incredible, the two princes did not delve into it, the most important thing for them is not to let their brother crush him, as for other people's congratulatory gifts, it is not a bad situation.
However, Tang Ning's congratulatory gift did not cause any waves in the capital, after all, the moose bone wrench was used for hunting, and although the emperor was very satisfied, it was impossible to wear it on his hand all the time.
And after the Thousand Autumn Festival, Tang Ning began to get busy, because the military department finally began to replace the ordnance of the Nanshan battalion.
When the first batch of ordnance arrived at the Nanshan camp, the entire Nanshan camp was jubilant. Because this is the hope for the rise of Nanshan Daying.
Tang Ning was also very happy, the drills of the Nanshan camp were very good, the only thing he regretted was the ordnance, and now after replacing and replenishing the ordnance, he believed that it would not be long before the Nanshan camp would become a strong army in the barracks.
The ordnance was coming in a steady stream, and more and more soldiers received brand new ordnance, and everyone loved it, and they were abandoned for several years, and they were full of nostalgia for it.
Finally, the replacement was completed, and the Nanshan camp began a new exercise, but to their little disappointment and regret, the sky turned out to be gloomy.
The first snow of winter is finally about to fall, and the soldiers of the Nanshan battalion feel regretful, because the snow means that they can no longer practice.
However, Tang Ning felt that it didn't matter, and the practice was not in a hurry, it was good to have tension and relaxation. He once made an agreement with Lin Lan during the Thousand Autumn Festival, and when the first snow in winter was clear, they would go to Xishan to barbecue and enjoy the snow together.
Now that the replacement of the ordnance was over, it was time to make good on his promise, and Tang Ning took his soldiers out of the camp to hunt.
He had to prepare the wild things first, although there were no wild beasts near the big camp, but there were some small wild things.
With Tang Ning's archery technique, he naturally returned with a full load, and by the afternoon, the snowflakes had already fallen, and Tang Ning left the barracks with his own soldiers and prey and entered the city.
Tang Ning entered the city and did not go back to the house directly, but went around and came to the alley, he still remembered that Qiu Ling said that he wanted to eat wild things, and this time he brought so many prey to her.
Tang Ning led the horse to the door of the small courtyard, Tang Ning pushed it, and opened it with a squeak, Qiu Ling heard the movement and walked out of the house.
"It's snowing, and there are few pedestrians outside, so your wooden door must be plugged in from the inside." Tang Ning frowned slightly.
Qiu Ling was a little embarrassed and said, "I forgot!" ”
Tang Ning said: "Don't forget, it's about your safety." ”
Qiu Ling smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I remember!" It's snowing, why are you still outside? ”
Tang Ning smiled: "It's snowing, there's nothing to do in the camp, I'll come back, just happened to hunt some prey, so I sent it to you." Now that it's winter, the prey can be put away, so you can keep it and eat it slowly. ”
Tang Ning said as he untied two packed goats from his horse and hung them in the small yard, and untied a few hares and pheasants, and said with a smile: "These wild things are enough for you to eat for a few days, and I will send you some later." ”
It is true that a girl's family can't eat much, and these wild things are enough for her to eat for a while. When Qiu Ling untied the wild things in Tang Ning, her eyes were very complicated when she looked at Tang Ning.
When Tang Ning finished his work, Qiu Ling smiled and said, "Thank you, General, I'm blessed now." ”
Tang Ning didn't wait long, laid down his prey and left. Qiu Ling, who watched Tang Ning leave, looked at the prey hanging on the wall in the yard, and her mood was very complicated, it was finally snowing, and the snow was about to stop.
The first snow in winter is not big, scattered and fluttering sprinkled for a night and then stopped, the early morning sun is very bright, Tang Ning looked out, a piece of silver, it is a good weather to enjoy the snow.
There were already soldiers from the General's Mansion who came to the door to spread the word, and they gathered at the city gate. From the words of the military man, Tang Ning felt Lin Lan's excitement, and she must have been anxious about the snow.
Tang Ning loaded all the prepared prey and barbecue racks into the carriage, and left the house with his own soldiers, so that the girls could not wait for him.
This time, Tang Ning was very well prepared, unlike the last time he went on an autumn hunt, he didn't want anything, so he could only roast it on the fire.
When he came to the city gate, Tang Ning found that many young men and women had left the city one after another, and it looked like they had gone out of the city to enjoy the snow.
Not long after, several carriages came, and Lin Lan lifted the curtain and waved at Tang Ning, with a happy face.
When he arrived, Lin Lan jumped out of the carriage and said with a smile: "Okay, it's very fast, it's commendable!" ”
Rong Xuan also raised the curtain and said with a smile: "Let General Tang wait for a long time." ”
Tang Ning smiled: "I just came, let's go!" ”
The group went out of the city, and Tang Ning escorted several carriages with his own soldiers to Xishan. Nishiyama is a famous place to visit in Kyoto, and it is not difficult to walk even when it is snowing.
There are many pavilions in the mountains for visitors to rest, which is a good place to barbecue and enjoy the snow. When they arrived at the bottom of the mountain, it was already difficult for the carriage to go, so Tang Ning and his soldiers carried the prepared barbecue utensils to the pavilion on the mountain.
Rong Xuan and Xiaoxiao were enjoying the snow scene on the mountain while walking, while Lin Lan was holding a jar of rice wine, which was very precious.
Lin Lan pulled the strange things in the pavilion and asked very curiously: "I can roughly understand the rest of the things, what is your iron plate for?" ”
Tang Ning said succinctly: "This is made of teppanyaki." ”
Shinoxiao wondered, "What is teppanyaki?" ”
Tang Ning smiled: "You guys will understand in a moment!" ”
Xiaoxiao and Rong Xuan watched with some curiosity as Tang Ning set up a barbecue rack on the side, while Lin Lan seemed to disdain fiddling with the small stove on the side and preparing to cook wine.
Tang Ning spread a layer of charcoal, and the fire quickly burned, on the other hand, on Lin Lan's side, black smoke was rising, there was no fire at all, and Lin Lan's little face was a little dark.
It was blackened by smoke, and seeing Tang Ning's cleanliness like flowing water, Lin Lan said stupidly: "No wonder you have a hand in barbecue, it turns out that you make a fire so well." ”
Why did this sound so awkward, Tang Ning said helplessly: "You can't even make a fire, how did you barbecue meat before?" ”
Rong Xuan sneered: "You can always give birth if you are hard, but then you will be like a little flower cat." ”
Lin Lan's face was slightly red and said, "What is your secret?" Tell me? ”
Tang Ning raised his head coolly and said, "Without him, only his hands are familiar!" ”
Lin Lan's face turned dark and said, "You, you quickly make a good fire in the furnace." ”
Tang Ning came to the small stove and said with a smile: "Come here, I'll teach you!" Lin Lan walked over suspiciously, Tang Ning really taught her in detail, there is indeed a knack for making a fire.
