There's food in front of you, and everyone moves fast. Shen Mo and Ah Man cut down a lot of pine branches and carried them to the back of the rockery...... Of course, he couldn't expect this to make a fire, he had already ordered someone to prepare a bag of charcoal and send it over.

Rou Niang had already brought the spices that Shen Mo wanted, and hurriedly helped them pile up the charcoal, then row the pine branches on it, and finally set up a fire rack. At this time, Tie Zhu also came over with a large basin of yellow mud, and when he looked at it, he smiled and said: "You are a knowledgeable person, I am still worried, but don't make some black mud." ”

The two trouser legs of the iron pillar were full of mud, and he smiled: "The adults underestimate the iron pillar too much, I can be called a flower chicken." ”

Shen Mo smiled: "Basically, a principle. ”

So he let him lay the basin of mud on the ground, and poured all the ingredients into the mud, and then he took off his robe, rolled up his sleeves, and stirred it with all his might.

After mixing the mud and ingredients, Shen Mo took out a small bird from the cloth bag and wrapped it tightly with the mud to form an impermeable bird-like mud ball. Ah Man looked playful, so he also learned from him to roll up his sleeves, put a pair of white and tender little hands into the mud, and played with the mud seriously.

Tie Zhu also wanted to come up to help, but was driven by Shen Mo to light a fire. Now the two big and one small are busy, leaving Rou Niang with nothing to do, she found that it is not easy to interfere at any end, so she said softly: "The slave can make bamboo tube fragrant rice......

Shen Mo smiled: "That's good, it's not enough to just eat meat, it's best to have rice." As if she had received a holy decree, Rou Niang happily confessed her sin and went to the kitchen to prepare.

Although there were a total of thirty or forty birds, Shen Mo and Aman pinched for a long time, because he saw that Xiao Aman's preoccupied appearance was so cute, he always couldn't help but tease the little guy, one moment to point Aman's nose with mud, one moment to make a grimace to make her laugh, and another time to teach her to play with mud, so that Rou Niang went and returned, and they had just finished pinching.

Rou Niang hung a few bamboo tubes containing polished rice, bacon and an appropriate amount of water on the fire to burn them slowly. Shen Mo simmered the wrapped birds close to the fire, and when he saw that the iron pillar had removed all the pine branches, Shen Mo scolded with a smile: "Blind and diligent, don't pile the pine branches on the fire again." ”

"Isn't charcoal enough? Why do you want to relax the branches? Iron Pillar muttered as he obediently filled the pine branches into the fire.

"Aren't you?" Shen Mo smiled: "Let me tell you a secret, this smoked and barbecued meat, pine branches are the best quality!" When this thing burns, it will emit pine oil, and the oilcloth will not escape the fragrance outside the mud. ”

"It's really exquisite." Tie Zhu stammered, and Xiao Aman on the side also nodded vigorously, obviously admiring tightly.

At this time, the water in the bamboo tube was also boiling, Rou Niang added a wooden stopper to the top, and continued to bake and turn in the fire, about a quarter of an hour, and finally a unique fragrance, she took off the bamboo tube, and said softly: "Okay, my lord." ”

Shen Mo also knocked the mud on the fire with a wooden stick, and found that it was as strong as a brick, so he smiled and said, "It's okay." So he took the ten doughs that had been roasted first from the fire and laid them down with the bamboo tubes.

Although these things are not good-looking, but based on his intuition alone, Ah Man knows that they are delicious, and he reaches out to grab them...... Fortunately, Shen Mo's eyes were quick, and he pulled her back, flicked her head lightly and said, "Burned my little paws." ”

Ah Man stuck out his little tongue in fear, and lay on his silent lap, looking at the pile of delicacies stupidly, but he didn't dare to do it anymore.

Feeling that the temperature had almost dropped, Shen Mo asked Rou Niang to knock the mud open, only to see that the birds seemed to have taken off their clothes, and all the feathers were taken away by the mud, revealing the body of the bird with a shiny body and overflowing oil, and the skin was also a little burnt, which made people swallow saliva when they looked at it...... He looked down at Aman, and saw that the little girl's saliva was flowing onto his pants, so he patted her little head and said, "Eat." ”

Rou Niang brought the bird that had been unrecognizable to Ah Man, Ah Man swallowed his saliva, but sent it to Shen Mo's hands, and said in a very resolute tone: "Grandma said that children can only eat last." Shen Mo couldn't help but be very curious about the old lady of the Zhuang clan, and he couldn't bear to destroy other people's educational achievements, so he smiled and said: "Rou Niang, quickly smash a few more, and everyone will eat together." ”

The smell of all kinds of ingredients in the mud didn't run away at all, it smelled fresh and fragrant, and it tasted very tender, so that Shen Mo couldn't care that his tongue was about to be burned off, and he couldn't stop eating it while inhaling the slightest breath. He looked at the iron pillar with his spare eyes, and he was gluttonous in the extreme; Look at Xiao Aman, who is also engrossed in dealing with the birds on the plate, his face is already full of oil, but he doesn't even have the time to wipe it...... Even the Rou Niang who eats Xiangsven is not slow.

Shen Mo enjoyed it with peace of mind, ate four birds in succession, patted his stomach and said, "Sixty percent full, I have to eat some more rice." Rou Niang hurriedly put down the plate in her hand, and gently broke the bamboo tube with a knife, and a smell mixed with rice, bamboo, and bacon overflowed. After tasting it silently, the rice is fragrant and soft, and the grains are delicious, and you can't stop eating it.

Tie Zhu and Ah Man didn't eat until they couldn't eat anymore, and the two of them leaned comfortably against the stone wall, shyly with their little stomachs, and burped with satisfaction.

Although it was noon, it was still cold when the snow melted, and after doing it for a while, Shen Mo patted his belly and stood up and said, "Don't stay outside anymore, this ghost weather is not the time to bask in the sun." ”

Rou Niang had already put everything away and said softly, "My lord, there are still a dozen or so birds left." ”

"Allocate four, and send the rest to He Daxia." Shen Mo said and smiled at Ah Man: "You take the remaining four back and give them to your grandmother to taste." ”

As soon as he heard Grandma's name, Ah Man couldn't help but look at his body, but saw that he had turned into a little mud monkey, and his little face was full of sorrow and said, "Grandma will fight." ”

Shen Mo looked at it too, whoever watched his child go out like a little princess, and the little beggar would have to be spanked when he came back, he couldn't bear to be beaten by Xiao Aman, and after thinking about it, he smiled and said, "I'll send you back." Of course, he was also curious about the mysterious Madame Watts.

Ah Man was relieved at this time, and pulled Shen Mo to go back. Shen Mo took the pack of roast birds handed by Rou Niang, kicked the iron pillar that was still burping on the ground and said, "Restore this place to its original state." Then he led Aman away.

He first took Ah Man back to wash his little face and hands, and he also changed into a blue Confucian shirt, and then under the leadership of Ah Man, he went to the next door outside the courtyard. Shen Mo saw that outside the doorway covered by the bamboo, there were two soldiers in blue-black clothes and trousers, holding steel forks, who were looking at him with vigilant faces.

After seeing Ah Man standing beside him, one of the soldiers said, "Miss, you are back, and Mrs. Tai will leave one step later." ”

Ah Man stuck out his tongue, and then pulled Shen Mo in, who knew that the two soldiers stretched out their hands to stop him and said, "Who are you?" ”

After thinking about it, it was better not to cause trouble, so Shen Mo took out the prayer note from his sleeve and said: "Xiaguan Qin ordered the Zhejiang inspector to come to visit Mr. Wa. ”

This surprised the two soldiers, who had been here for a long time, but for the first time they saw Han people other than Governor Zhang, come here to meet their leader, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.

Seeing that they were snubbing Uncle Shen, Xiao Aman stopped doing it, took the silent greeting post, made a grimace at the two stupid woods, and ran in by himself, shouting crisply as he ran: "Grandma and Grandma have guests." ”

After a while, two female officials with their heads wrapped around and wearing blue cloth robes came out of the courtyard and said to Shen Mo with a Zhuang etiquette: "Lord Shen, please." ”

Shen Mo knew that he couldn't entangle with them in etiquette, so he smiled and said, "Trouble the two to lead the way." ”

When he followed the two female officers in, he saw several female soldiers in full armor leading their horses, standing neatly in the courtyard, obviously preparing to set off.

Looking further into the main house, I saw a tall old woman with silver hair, dressed in bright silver armor and a scarlet cloak, holding the hilt of her sword in her backhand, standing proudly on the steps. Although she is close to the sixtieth year, she is powerful, especially her eyes, which are bright and bright, not at all like an old man of this age.

Shen Mo had already learned the identity of the old man from Zhang Jing - Mrs. Wa's original name was Cen Hua, the wife of Cen Meng, a local official in Tianzhou, Guangxi, and in the sixth year of Jiajing, Cen Meng was defeated and died. According to the system of the death of the toast husband and the attack of the wife of the child, Mrs. Wa Shi was appointed as the Xuanfu envoy of Tianzhou, managing the affairs of a state, and there was a powerful clan soldier under her command - the soldiers, and because of the ferocity of the battle, they were called wolf soldiers.

When Zhang Jing was the governor of Liangguang, he had repeatedly recruited her to fight with her people, and was deeply impressed by the witty and courageous Mrs. Washi and those soldiers who were very strong in combat.

In fact, as a last resort, Zhang Jing was embarrassed to recruit Mrs. Wa again, because in the process of quelling the rebellion of the Li people in Hainan, the only son of the family was also killed. But now the southeast urgently needs to inject a breath of blood and bravery, and he first remembered Mrs. Wa's family, hoping that her elite soldiers can awaken the fighting spirit and blood surname of the Zhejiang soldiers, so he still issued a requisition order - to requisition the soldiers belonging to the Guangxi Zhuang Tuguan and the troops of other ethnic minorities to go to the southeast coast to fight against the Japanese.

When the Liangguang Governor's Mansion sent the order to recruit and transfer soldiers to Tianzhou, Mrs. Washi, who had already lost her husband and son for the imperial court, accepted the conscription without hesitation, and was promoted to the general army of Guangxi, leading more than 6,800 troops formed in Tianzhou, Guishunzhou, Nandan Prefecture, Nadi Prefecture, Donglanzhou and other prefectures.

In the face of such an old lady, how could Shen Mo not feel respect?
