Chapter 40 A few thoughts, winter is cold

"It's delicious, it's delicious, come, Xiaobao, help me tear this meat apart, you pull that end."

The beef stewed radish is cooked, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan eat it in a bowl, and the pomegranates are all the kind of meat without tendons, and the pieces are relatively small, so the two of them have to eat hard, and they have to tear them into small strips by hand and chew them slowly.

Wang Juan found a relatively large piece, and his own small hands were not easy to work on, so he beckoned Zhang Xiaobao, Zhang Xiaobao used both hands, and Wang Juan did the same, so he opened the meat.

"This meat is obviously not completely rotten, but he even said that he could eat it, and he didn't want to think about the two of us." Zhang Xiaobao dipped the half of the meat in the hot sauce, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed vigorously, complaining.

"People eat meat and eat this chewy head, it's all rotten and bite something, I don't eat meat anymore, it's too hard, drink some soup and eat some radish." Wang Juan's meat was finally swallowed, and he decided to change the taste.

The pomegranate was unwilling to eat with so many people at one time, only waiting for the two little ancestors beside him, as soon as he heard Wang Juan's words, he went to the pot to scoop some radish and soup, and sprinkled the chopped coriander that had already been chopped, and it tasted good to drink.

A little baby in the village saw that the two most precious people in the village only ate radishes and did not eat meat, and he was moved at that time, and said to the parents next to him:

"Dad, mother, little boy, they only eat turnips and leave all the meat to us, what I said to Gezhuang's little dog, he must not believe it, but it is true."

His parents were also moved, not because Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan drank soup and ate radish, they also knew that such a big child couldn't bite the beef at all.

What moved them was that the little boy and the little lady did not make a high-minded appearance, but ate with them, it was cold outside, and this meal was also specially prepared by others, so young can be like this, it can only explain one thing, that is, the main family usually tells the children like this.

With such a master, what is there to be dissatisfied with a farmer like himself? The two of them rushed back from outside, and when they came, there were also people from Gezhuang who encountered inquiries, and when they said that it was the main family who invited them to eat beef, the eyes of Gezhuang can not be forgotten now.

"Xiaobao, how happy do you see the villagers eating? In the future, it would be good if I could often take the villagers to eat, but unfortunately, there is too little beef, and this time I was fined twelve taels of silver, why don't these officials think about it. ”

Wang Juan drank a few sips of soup, was in a hurry, sat there to rest, and complained to Zhang Xiaobao.

Zhang Xiaobao wanted to follow and say, 'Indeed, there are no good people who are officials, and it is the same in any dynasty. ’

When the words came to his mouth, he changed, he didn't want Wang Juan to think of the past, everyone was happy, why bother to evoke memories, so he had to say:

"After all, cattle are precious, used to plough the land, which shows that people attach importance to agriculture, in fact, horses are also OK, but they are used to equip troops and pull carts, I don't know if there is a zigzag plough now, wait back and ask, if there is, forget it, we don't do it ourselves, I remember to put a few cow bones in the pot, eat the bone marrow."

"Don't eat it, give it to the children, there are still a lot of them at home, what are you doing to rob them of things, will you breed cows?" That is, every child can be saved, and it can be one child per year. ”

When Wang Juan heard that he was eating bone marrow, his eyes lit up and dimmed, and he wanted to do animal husbandry.

Zhang Xiaobao scooped up a piece of butter floating on top of the soup and sent it to Wang Juan's mouth, "No, I didn't study at the beginning, there is a person in prison who is an expert in this field, a real expert, he wrote a paper and was robbed, he wanted to prove that he wrote it himself, but as a result, people were powerful and locked him up."

At that time, he saw that I was studious, and really wanted to teach me, but unfortunately, I didn't have any idea of learning at that time, but just listened to him constantly introduce some things about agriculture and animal husbandry.

I remember learning from a thief next to me at that time, and I learned from that person that I didn't just know the principle, but also needed to exercise my ears and feel, and I later carried some wires of different thicknesses and magnets of different sizes. ”

"Magnets? What are magnets used for? Doesn't seem to be able to pry the safe? Wang Juan was gradually attracted by Zhang Xiaobao's words, and as a person who specializes in catching thieves, he was interested in this aspect.

"What safe? It is a door lock, some door locks need to use magnets, the key itself is magnetic, some are attractable, some are separated, the magnet I bring not only has different sizes, but also must have two kinds of magnetism here, technical work, I think that if I can give a degree, how to say that it is also a master's degree, teach me that is definitely a doctorate. ”

Zhang Xiaobao poured out the cold soup and let the pomegranate continue to scoop it while talking to Wang Juan like a joke.

"So you know how to unlock? Can you make a lock? Wang Juan asked curiously.

"Of course, if you want to pry, you have to know."

"Then you can sell the locks." Wang Juan proposed.

"If I don't do it, I don't have a spring, what do I do? Eat quickly, go back to sleep when you're full. Zhang Xiaobao directly refused.

Wang Juan also asked casually, but when he saw that he couldn't make it, he didn't say much, he ate the soup and radish, patted his stomach, and was full.

Waiting for the two of them to leave, the speed of eating here is also faster, just now they are all under control, after a meal, the remaining bones are brought to the family with nursing children, they can cook it twice more when they go back, and the bone marrow in it can be fed directly to the child or the mother.

Zhuangzi eats, the county commander Cheng Lingxiang also eats here, a total of six dishes and a soup, four meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, one of the vegetarian dishes is cold cucumber shreds, get garlic paste, eat refreshing, the other is fried cucumber with eggs, fragrant and pleasant, the soup is cucumber and garlic seedling soup, salty and balanced.

Song Jinggong was talking with the county order, while drinking, the dishes he ate were basically the four meat dishes, the cucumbers basically didn't move, he could eat as much as he wanted after he went back, so as not to grab this bite with the county order, one and a half cucumbers were cold, one and a half scrambled eggs, and half of the boiled soup.

As soon as he saw that the county order was so calculating, how could he dare to eat?

Cheng Lingxiang, the county commander, didn't think so much, smiled, said some academic words, and made a poem on the spot that he thought was better, after getting Song Jinggong's flattery, he picked up two cucumber shreds, put them in his mouth and tasted them carefully, and finally said the right thing.

"Zijin, your Zhuangzi is not far from here, isn't it?"

"Yes, my lord is right, it's not far, and you can catch it back and forth in a day." Song Jinggong saluted and replied.

"It's not far away, since it's not far, let your master from Zhuangzi come here, I want to meet this person." Cheng Xianling actually wanted to get a staff member, and if he really recruited that person to his side, he didn't have to worry about it.

Song Jinggong was so frightened that he brought the little boy and the little lady on such a cold day, what if it froze? What's more, the two babies who are so small really push it out, isn't that harmful, I can't agree to anything.

"My lord, this can't be done, that person has a strange temper, and it was also that Zhuangzi who once saved his life, so he got there, and the students have never met, and they are talking through a screen every time, it's better to do this, if the adults have any discipline that needs to be told over there, the students will help convey it."

Of course, Song Jinggong knows what the county order is going to do, and the meaning of this is also clear, if you need help with something in the county order, I will help you go over and ask, and then come back to tell you when they have an idea.

With a trace of regret on his face, Cheng Xianling nodded, scooped some soup into his bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and said, "It's okay, then it's hard work, Zhou Xihu is still stable?" ”

"Zhou Gongzi is a good person, but there has been a shortage of brown sugar in all places recently, so it is better to persuade him, it is not easy to sell if there is too much sugar, after all, the price is high.

Oh, the student remembered another thing, the man said, during the Chinese New Year, the adults may wish to bring some grain and oil to the poor people in the county to see, after all, the adults love the people like children, and let the people under the rule feel the favor of the court. ”

Song Jinggong then talked about another thing, which was also explained.

Cheng County's eyes lit up, of course he understood the meaning of this, this is to make political achievements for himself, he really did this, plus the cucumbers sent over, this year's evaluation must be superior, the master really knows the reason, but unfortunately he can't come to his side to help.

At the moment, he said: "Okay, the county knows, and it is not easy for the people, especially those who are sick at home, your Zhuangzi has done this, and the county has kept it in mind, and I believe that the people are also grateful, come, Zijin eats vegetables." ”

Waiting for the food to be almost, Song Jinggong said goodbye and agreed that two days later, a large number of cucumbers would be delivered, so that the county commander Cheng Lingxiang could rest assured.

It was getting late, and the families were getting ready to eat.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were busy again, standing in the kitchen and directing that the staple food tonight should be made according to the wishes of the two of them.

The noodles are rolled out into thin slices, and when they are cut into strips, they are noodles, and the beef is already there, and the beef is also cut into slices, and the hot sauce and eggs are fried in the pan together, and the beef slices are put on the noodles taken out of the beef bone broth and placed on top of a layer of cucumber shreds and coriander, and a beef fried noodles is ready.

This time, the beef is not so hard, and two people can also eat it along, and before it is served, drizzle sesame oil, and you can eat comfortably without vegetables.

"Xiaobao, do you need to prepare anything for the New Year?" Wang Juan followed Zhang Xiaobao's family to eat together, and asked with a mouthful of noodles.

"Let's make some firecrackers, make simple ones, make them in the ratio of one nitrate, two sulfur and three charcoal, just listen to the sound, not the kind of 75, 10, 15 percent." Zhang Xiaobao hesitated for a moment before saying this thought.

I was delayed by some things today, there are only two chapters, I will make up tomorrow, make up one chapter, punish myself for one chapter, normal more than three chapters, and five chapters tomorrow.
