Chapter 321: The Smoke Talks to the Ming Dynasty
When the sun has not yet set, the moon has risen, and the workers on the construction site have also come to rest, and those who are close to home can go home.
Three meals a day are served, and these days it has always been the best for dinner, and there is also a bowl of wine, just like the Zhang and Wang families used to let people work.
Today, because Li Xun still wants to eat barbecue, the whole construction site began to barbecue, there are no vegetables, if you want to eat vegetables, you can only drink soup, people here are not used to roasted vegetables to eat.
Li Xun's food is naturally different from others, other people's grilled things are a small part of mutton, most of them are chicken and pork, and the fish is also one person, and people don't like to eat grilled fish.
When he was preparing, Li Xun began to wander around, followed by a few guards, looking here, looking there, and occasionally stopping to say a few words to others.
The people who work now know who this person is, the royal family, Li Xun, the king of Tong'an County.
If it's just this name, the people are nothing more than occasionally talking about it when they are idle, and the picture is fresh, but Li Xun is definitely not so easy to forget, who is good and who is bad, and the people are not stupid, of course I know, how the people of Shuzhou are living now, you can know it from the mouths of the businessmen.
What they didn't expect was that this legendary royal man was so kind, laughing at everyone, and he didn't have that condescending appearance when he spoke, and he didn't wear the silk clothes of ordinary rich people, but a light blue cloth coat, which I heard was made of white stacks.
There is no wealth at all in such clothes, unless you look closely, look at the stitches, look at the workmanship, and the dark lines embroidered on it, so you can know the difference.
"When grilling this kind of fish, remember to grease it, you see, yours are all baked, and the salt should be turned over immediately after sprinkling, don't let the salt stay on the fish, it's not salted fish, there are few shrimp caught today, otherwise I will grill the shrimp for you."
Li Xun came to the front of a baking table under the respectful gaze of everyone, and told the people sitting here how to barbecue.
In fact, people know how to grill, but they don't do that, the barbecue people are very conscious of salting in the water, making a small plate, gently brushing the fish, turning it frequently, and not putting oil at all.
At this time, after hearing what Li Xun said, the person in charge of roasting nodded and replied: "Your Highness, it is too expensive to bake things and apply oil to them, and it is not easy to salt, so you can save a little bit." ”
"Don't, don't save, let you eat just to be able to eat well, if you save it, I won't prepare these for you, eat when you should eat, rest assured, eating this little thing is out of the work you do, as long as you work hard, you will be worthy of the food."
Li Xun knew this time, it turned out that he was not smart alone, and he was not stupid, but he was just reluctant, so he hurriedly persuaded and ordered this task of persuasion to go down, and let the guards also take a look at each place.
After looking around, he came back, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had already prepared everything, in addition to what others ate, as well as the shrimp that were caught, and the cow that Li Xun let people find during the day and accidentally fell to death, and I don't know why the cow was so stupid, and he lost his temper when he was plowing the land, and it lasted for a long time, and as a result, people quietly looked for someone to sell, and he fell to death.
After sandwiching a piece of meat and roasting it on the net, Li Xun suddenly asked Zhang Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, who do you say the imperial court will send to take over Feng Changgong's position now?" I don't like him anymore, I came here again during the day today, I didn't understand anything and just talked nonsense there, and I brought a Taoist priest to look left and right, I guess I didn't have any good intentions. ”
Zhang Xiaobao put two shrimps on the net, and said while slowly flipping through them: "It doesn't matter who you send, as long as there is a result, if Feng Changgong doesn't find a Taoist priest to come over, he may be able to stay in an idle position for a while, but now that the Taoist priest has found it, he will be finished."
Don't you want him to go to you to consume, you have to hurry up, otherwise there will be no chance, I have to clean up this person, Yu Gong, he has no ability, in order to bring Zhongxian to Shangxian, he even let people go to other places to find homeless people, I heard that there is a room in his house, which enshrines the statue of the king of Hades.
Every day he had to bow and put incense sticks, which was fine, the problem was that he wanted to cause disaster to the surrounding places, so that he could attract the people to come and replenish the population.
Yu Private, this is the most important thing, he offended me and Juanjuan, he knew that we wanted to lead a river over, but he had to stop it, even if he was a saint, I wouldn't let him have a good time, otherwise, when he spread it in the future, wouldn't anyone be able to offend us to play? ”
Li Xun can understand Zhang Xiaobao, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan don't look at the two of them usually talk very well, but once someone targets them, it will definitely not be easy, and if they don't die, they have to shed their skin, when they were in Luzhou, what were those officials tortured by them? I guess it would be a nightmare if I dreamed now.
But he really couldn't think of how Zhang Xiaobao would deal with Feng Changgong, so he asked, "Xiaobao, then you can't just let him get it there, right?" But the people would believe it. ”
"Of course I can't let them do that, the effect is not great, I have to help them do it together, let people know that there is a Taoist priest called Dream Chaser who is very powerful, and can reach heaven and earth, not to mention just looking at the prosperity of a Xincai County, even the major events in the world can also be seen.
I decided, see him tomorrow, and then see what he is capable of, if he is really good, I will praise him realistically, and I can't let the talented person bury him. ”
Zhang Xiaobao said to Li Xun, the shrimp also turned red at this time, and he took it over if it was not too hot, and peeled the skin little by little, and if the first one was sent to the plate sent by Wang Juan, he said to Wang Juan: "Peel the next one yourself, don't always bully me." ”
"I don't peel the incense you peeled, Xiaobao, where is the Taoist priest we are looking for? Didn't you say that you should fight poison with poison? Wang Juan bit off one-third of the shrimp meat, smiled at Zhang Xiaobao, and asked again.
"Here, our master is His Royal Highness the King of Tong'an County." Zhang Xiaobao raised his chin and pointed at Li Xun.
"How is it? I won't. Li Xun hurriedly shook his head and refused.
"Why isn't it you, you ate the meat I concocted, you don't have to do some work, it won't be simple, you can learn, in fact, you don't need to be too much, tomorrow you will be disguised, you just do what I say, you must let Feng Changgong ask for guilt by himself, otherwise don't say that he is alone, his family is finished."
Zhang Xiaobao said to Li Xun while roasting a shrimp for Wang Juan.
Li Xun stared at Zhang Xiaobao's movements, "Then I'll try, but don't blame me if you mess up, slow down, let me see clearly." ”
Li Xun also wants to learn Zhang Xiaobao's cooking skills, and when the time comes, he will do it himself, or for his future wife, even if he makes something for his subordinates to taste together, and let people praise him.
Since he met Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, he has never thought that there is anything wrong with men cooking, and really good cooks are not men.
Zhang Xiaobao really couldn't guess Li Xun's psychology, so he tried to slow down as much as possible, and said while roasting, "The best grilled shrimp is actually turned by hand, I don't like it to be hot, and it will bubble and become a cocoon, which will affect the sensitivity of my hands, and I still write and paint, and many literati are unwilling to do rough work because of this."
The advantage of grilling shrimp by hand is that it can be pinched in the process of roasting, and it will be sore for a long time with chopsticks, and it is not as good as hand, you see when I and Juan Juan eat saltwater prawns, the shrimp shell is still intact after eating, in fact, the grilled shrimp is the same, roasted by hand, pinched accurately, when the head is slightly lifted, the tail is pinched, and a whole shell will come down. ”
"Oh, well, wouldn't that be gloveless?" Li Xun's mind is really on how to make things.
"It's okay to wear gloves, but you need to practice for a long time, otherwise it won't feel good, and if you want to make your hands tender, remember to bubble more milk." Zhang Xiaobao grilled the shrimp again, blew it a few times before peeling it, and the peeled meat naturally entered the mouth of Wang Juan, who was waiting to open there.
Li Xun just nodded, and suddenly reacted, "What hands are not sensitive, writing and drawing are not good, one is that I want to use a flying knife, I am afraid that I will not be allowed to shoot it, right?" ”
"It's the same, don't always say such violent things, we are civilized people, don't eat your roasted meat, bring the grate next to you, roast the beef once, you eat it slowly, I'll take the grate down and let you see how to bake the whole fish, the tail of that thing is easy to roast if you are not careful."
Zhang Xiaobao put his shrimp in his mouth and chewed it together with the shell.
Night finally came, and some of the people who worked during the day went home, and some went into their tents to sleep, and did not chat, so as not to delay the affairs of tomorrow.
Countless torches were lit, and another group of people came here and began to continue the work of the daytime, and for twelve hours there were people at work all the time, in anticipation of the early completion.
Zhang Xiaobao finally persuaded Li Xun to go to sleep, he and Wang Juan lay in the tent but couldn't sleep, the two of them opened the skylight above the tent, covered the blanket tightly, and only showed a pair of eyes to look at the stars.
"Tomorrow it looks like there won't be any rain, it's sunny." Wang Juan looked at the stars and said.
"That's not necessarily, maybe there will be a shower, this is still here, change to Shanghai, who dares to say whether there is rain or no rain." Zhang Xiaobao's mind was not on the weather, and he listened to the sound of mosquitoes flying around.
"What is it like in Shanghai now? I hate mosquitoes, so if I want to bite them, I will bite them quickly, buzzing and flying, and disturbing my heart. Wang Juan tidied up the blanket again so as not to be bitten by mosquitoes.
"I didn't go to see it, or I will go there in a few days to take a look, it should still be connected to this side, it is said that it was separated later, the relationship between the movement of the earth's crust, it is useless in the past now, it is impossible to develop foreign trade there, the only benefit is to build a port, so that other people's warships dare not easily pass by."
Zhang Xiaobao listened to the sound of mosquitoes, and couldn't distinguish between the male and female, yawned, and said, "Sleep, there will be fun tomorrow." ”
