Chapter 525: The rain is outside the window, and the heart is frying

Li Bai came to the third floor in a daze, the room was damp, but it was stronger than the heavy rain outside, there was a mat on the couch, and there was a pillow and a blanket next to it.

"Guest officer, lie down first, and the ginger syrup will be delivered immediately." The guy helped Li Bai to lie down, ran out quickly, and soon came in again with an extra charcoal brazier, and opened the window farthest from the couch by half to prevent Li Bai from being poisoned, and the other guy also came over with ginger soup.

Li Bai felt that he was very cold, wrapped in a blanket and thanked him, picked up the bowl, and drank it with a sigh of anger, most of the bowl of Hongtang water poured into his stomach, Li Bai finally felt better, and said to the guy who came to see with concern: "Thank you, give me a stir-fry, salty, more meat, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive without nutrition." ”

The guy looked embarrassed and said, "Guest officer, salty and salty, meat...... No, if you come an hour earlier, you can still eat until the last point, or you wait for tomorrow, tomorrow the yamen will give meat to our store, and then there will be it. ”

"Oh, the meat is also monopolized, okay, if the official doesn't die this time, someone has to die, there is no meat, is there water? Bring a jug of water. ”

Li Bai gritted his teeth and said, suddenly remembering that he still had something that Brother Maha gave when they broke up, and they happened to eat it.

Naturally, there was no shortage of water, so the guy ran out and came in with a pot of water after a while.

At this time, Li Bai had already taken out the packaging of the aluminum foil from his arms, and under the gaze of the two guys, he carefully tore open a mouth, pinched it and asked the guy to pour water into it, and when this one was full, pinched it, and tore the other mouth open, and put it in to make the soup, the little thing that was also poured water.

The two guys had never seen this thing before, considering that the inn was not busy at the moment, and they were not in a hurry to leave for a while, they waited curiously with Li Bai.

After waiting for half an hour, Li Bai was already hot when he touched the package again, blowing air, and unpacking the entire package according to the instructions on the package.

A smell of diced spicy meat fills the room.

"Xiang" The two guys couldn't help but speak at the same time, their eyes widened, trying to see what was going on.

The wide-open package contains not only spicy diced meat, but also rice grains that are as crystal as white jade stretching their attractive posture.

Li Bai sucked his nose twice, stared at the food for a few breaths, and muttered, "Damn, didn't you say that the pepper has just been tried and there is nothing to eat?" Doesn't it mean that the special polished rice in the northern part of Hebei Province is still in the breeding period, and there is not much to eat?

I actually ran to the lunch box in the inner courtyard of Zhang Wang's two houses, if I hadn't come out to meet Brother Maha, I wouldn't have known that there was such a good thing until the New Year, and when I went back, I would find a way to get some. ”

"Guest, guest officer, what are you eating...... What is it? It's really fragrant, the red one, and the rice, why haven't you seen the small one? One of the guys couldn't help but ask, his nose twitching unpleasantly.

Li Bai continued to tear the package to find chopsticks, and said, "It's right if you haven't seen it, have you seen it before the canned food came out?" Any idea how it came out? Fuck it is the food prepared by the Zhang and Wang families for the inner courtyard when they go outside, come, let me tell you, the red one is a chili pepper, and the rice like jade is the special polished rice on the Bohai Road, and after a few years, you may be able to eat it, but usually the official can't eat it in the capital. ”

Li Bai, who was talking, had already found the chopsticks, pulled them out, and found a small piece of bean curd, and was looking for mustard, while the two guys were swallowing saliva and watching, watching and smelling.

"Huh?" Li Bai, who was rummaging through the mustard, was suddenly stunned, then pulled out a small package that was placed in a large package, stared at the small words on it and read, "White tablets relieve pain, ** antipyretic, powder to stop bleeding, one tablet at a time, twice a day, conditions permit, go to the hospital, take care." ”

"There's still medicine." Li Bai happily tore open the small package, which contained five white and yellow pills, and an even smaller package inside, pinched it, knowing that it was powder.

"Guest, uh, sir, this is medicine?" The guy didn't know how to read, so he asked curiously.

"Well, just eat it with soup, as long as it's not a serious illness, you won't be able to die for a while." Li Bai happily picked up a yellow pill, held it in his hand and smiled.

The guy also laughed, "My lord, if you don't always say that it's good to be an official, this person who is out of the house can still carry such a good thing with him, there are vegetables, food and medicine, hehe." ”

"Go get a small plate, I can't eat it alone, taste it all, it's enough." Li Bai was also happy when he saw that there was medicine to eat, and generously invited the two guys.

One guy hesitated, and the other guy had already run out to get a plate.

When the plate was brought, Li Bai took out a quarter of the rice and the diced spicy pork, kept half of it himself, turned out the mustard, and ate the medicine with the soup first.

When the two guys ate rice, they chewed carefully one by one, and when they ate diced meat, they also chewed slowly, so spicy that they were sweating profusely, but they refused to spit it out, Li Bai also ate a sweat, which was more effective than ginger syrup.

"Adult, small multi-mouthed, what grade can I get to eat your stuff?" A guy asked as he ate a third of what was in front of him, stopped eating, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Li Bai took another sip of soup, gasped twice, smiled, and said, "The saint can eat it today, and the taste must be better than what we eat." ”

The two guys were choked by Li Bai's words, and they didn't dare to speak out, the saint is not something they can talk about.

"There is also the general manager Gao Lishi Gaoye, he can also eat, he wants to eat at any time, someone can do it at any time, Zhang Zhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, can eat it, he doesn't need to ask for it himself, others change their tricks to cook for him, and the three of them can eat it, oh, there are a few old men who can have this blessing.

The rest of the people, what is the prince, the prince, the prince and the prince, etc., you think about it bigger, you don't have to think about it below the third grade, they can get a part, and if they eat it, it will be gone this year, unless they look for the saint to ask for it. ”

Li Bai didn't need others to ask, and then said what he knew, he was burned and confused, no matter who he was facing, he forgot his identity.

After listening to Li Bai's words, the two guys opened their mouths neatly and stared at each other, a little scared and a little excited, as if they had participated in some secret operation.

A guy was attracted back to his senses by the smell of spicy diced meat, stood up stiffly, and asked nervously, "Then you, my lord... You are ....... ”

"I'm not of such a high grade, this thing is eaten in the inner courtyard of the two families of Zhang Wang in Sanshui County, do you understand?" Li Bai knew that the guy had misunderstood, so he explained.

"Understood, understood, Sanshui County Zhang Wang family, we understand, my lord, you, are you helping the two of them do things?" The guy nodded again and again, looking at Li Bai enviously, it seemed that it was very honorable to be able to do things for the Zhang and Wang families.

Li Bai was a little depressed, when he said that he was an official just now, the guy was not envious, he said that he was doing things for the Zhang and Wang families, what did he have to envy? There are many people who do things for the Zhang and Wang families.

Li Bai wanted to deny it, saying that he was sent down by the emperor, but when he thought about it again, he was indeed following Zhang Xiaobao's path, don't look at himself now in the household department, anyone who has reached a certain level of status knows which side he belongs to, and he can't admit it if he wants to.

Li Bai nodded, acknowledging his man's statement.

The fellow immediately became cautious, and gave the other fellow a look, and the fellow stood at the door, and did not close the door, poking his head out to look at the wind.

The guy standing in front of Li Bai first ran to the window and closed the window, then came back and whispered to Li Bai: "You hurry up and contact Zhang Xiaobao, just say that something happened in Hongnong County." ”

"What's the big deal?" Li Bai's heart also came up.

"It's a big deal, I'll tell you, that's it......." The guy muttered to Li Bai.

The fog is thick, the smoke fills the windows, and the pavilions and eaves are tinkling. Cistanche, tumbling oil and red, cattle and sheep fat and thin roll heavy. The rain is hazy, and the eyes are hazy.

"Lord Wang, it's been a long journey, taste it, and taste what this lamb from the north tastes like." In the Yamen of Hongnong County, in a pavilion near the water, the county magistrate sat on Wang Wei's left with a keen face, picked up a piece of fat and thin meat with chopsticks and put it into the mandarin duck pot, and persuaded him to eat with a smile.

Wang Wei had already changed his clothes and took a bath, and at this time he looked at the hot pot in front of him, and he didn't know what was in the clear soup, and it looked clear, but he knew that he must have used a lot of things, and then hung out the clear soup.

On the other side, it was spicy, and there were cistanche rolls in it, some kind of animal whip, I think it's either a tiger or a deer, ginseng whiskers, chili peppers, and other things I don't know.

Looking at the food on the table, the beef and mutton are all there, and they are all the kind of fat and thin marble patterns, the half-foot-long prawns are struggling in the water basin, the big river crabs on the plate are still waving their big claws, and I don't know what kind of shellfish are spitting water in the shallow water box open and close.

There are also fungus, red mushrooms, mushrooms, and other things that I can't name, which fill the table in front of me, and also occupy a special table next to it for placing ingredients.

Touching the chopsticks of ivory, the dishes carved with jade, and the eight pieces of crabs made of gold inlaid with jade, Wang Wei didn't know how to speak for a while.

If these things are seen in the palace, Wang Wei will not feel anything, if they are seen in Zhang Xiaobao's house, Wang Wei also thinks that they are very ordinary, and they can even be better than those in front of him, then it is all right.

But this thing appeared on the county order table in a county, which family are you a child of a strict guard? Which big businessman's son-in-law? How come you've never heard of it? How much do you earn a year? Where did you get the chili peppers from a county order?

"Lord Wang...... Lord Wang? The county commander solemnly saw Wang Wei looking left and right, but he didn't move his chopsticks, and called softly on the side.

"Oh, oh, eat, the crabs in autumn are fat, hehe, Yan County is a good mouthful, this is ......." Wang Wei shook his head, sobered himself up from his thoughts, and pointed to something he had never seen with his chopsticks and asked.

Yan Zheng looked at it and introduced with a smile: "My lord, this is an oyster?" Delicious, slightly salty, can be roasted, stewed, steamed and boiled, can also be eaten raw, and can be used as medicine, it is a rare good product, **uncommon, also called oysters. ”

"Oh~" Wang Wei suddenly, as soon as he said the oysters, he knew what they were, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan sent a lot of people from Jili Prefecture to the capital, and almost every official got it, but it was dry, there was no shell, and it was said that it was a specialty of Jili Prefecture, farmed, and worthless.

Some wild ones can still have pearls in them, and they also said that before the winter of this year, a batch of fresh ones will be shipped back, and after processing, the officials in the capital can taste the taste of raw oysters.

Thinking like this, Wang Wei took out a sea oyster from a shell, threw it to the spicy side and shook it gently, after a while, he felt that it was almost cooked, so he picked it up and ate it, fresh, indeed fresh, there is a special freshness, just like ...... It's like Zhang Xiaobao in the spring...... What does oyster sauce taste like?

It's just that the oyster sauce lacks the softness of the oyster taste, it seems that the things Zhang Xiaobao gave are real, good people, maybe you can still eat fresh when you go back, then it will be much more comfortable to eat than what you eat now, eat Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, that is called eating big households, eating the solemn in front of you, and eating is the people's fat and people's cream.

Yan Zheng knew what Wang Wei was thinking, and thought that Wang Wei was stunned by the taste of oysters, so he also sandwiched one, dipped it directly in the soy sauce on the plate, ate it raw, squinted his eyes slightly, and asked, "Lord Wang, how?" ”

"Great goodness" Wang Wei praised, looked at Yan Zheng eating raw, remembered that Zhang Xiaobao had mentioned what would happen if he didn't pay attention to eating raw, and said "eat you to death".

"Lord Wang, try the crab again." Yan Zheng directly reached out and broke off a crab claw that was tied to the front pincers, and took out the juicy and translucent meat, and put it in the pot with chopsticks, and waited for a while to turn completely white, and put it in his mouth while taking it out: "This is an autumn hairy crab, each weighing a catty." ”

Wang Wei nodded, but it was sandwiched, the cut meat rolls, at this time the meat rolls had been loosened, the thin meat was piled up on the plate, and when it was clamped, it also brought a little blood and water, and it was put in the pot and rolled and taken out, slightly dipped in leek flowers, eaten and imported, tender and fresh.

"Good meat, good meat wow is really fresh, bloody fresh, the rain is murmuring outside the pavilion, this scene is rare, Lord Yan invited the official to eat here, good artistic conception, raise a knife to cut the meat and boil the water to fry, a line of red and white fresh. The cattle and sheep bleated and floated, and the dark clouds became a curtain of rain. ”

Wang Wei bit a piece of chili pepper skin in his mouth, and bright red water dripped down the corner of his mouth.

How can I feel awkward when I listen to Wang Wei's poems, how can I hear the helplessness of the people and the tears of the sky? Looking at Wang Wei again, he was frightened and said nervously: "My lord, Lord Wang, why are you crying?" Do you have a broken mouth? ”

"No, I didn't cry, it's spicy, it's so cool, I accidentally broke my lips when I was eating chili, come, eat" Wang Wei licked his mouth and said.
