"Oh, my lord, now your eyebrows are on fire, how can you still have the heart to do this!"

Leling County Commander Wu Daliang met Lian Zining in the backyard of the town guard's mansion.

The outside is upside down, but inside is the Diaoyutai sitting, a warbler Yanyan.

When he came, Lian Zining, Sister Kang Su and Qi Wei were catching fish on the lake.

The weather is cold, the middle and late Ming Dynasty is the Xiaoice River period, coupled with the absence of greenhouse effect and other effects, the weather is much colder than later generations, the land outside the city has frozen out of large cracks, and the lake on the Meihualing has formed a thick layer of ice.

Lian Zining estimated that the temperature was 20 degrees below zero.

Sister Kang Su wore goose-yellow cotton skirts, a snow-white fur coat on the outside, and cute furry ear protection. The two sisters touched the same equipment, their faces were almost identical, they stood on the ice and stomped their feet, their little faces were red from the cold, and they were very cute. A charming, pure, and beautiful face, with ear protection, is like two well-behaved rabbits, standing together, competing for beauty. Seeing Lian Zining's index finger move, he almost turned into a werewolf on a moonlit night, and he couldn't wait to swallow them in one bite.

"I see the ** naked possession in your eyes." Kivi said.

She also put on an azure sprinkler, but what was wrapped outside was Lian Zining's black mink fur, after Lian Zining wrapped her that day, the red-haired Valkyrie stubbornly thought that this was a gift from Lian Zining, a gift for a lady, why was she embarrassed to go back? Especially when she learned from Kang Su that this piece was worth eight hundred taels of silver.

The Valkyrie, who has lost her uniform, is a little less heroic, but a little more feminine and charming, especially when she occasionally shakes the sunset-like red hair, even Zining seems to see Nicole Kidman's shadow.

A few people were stabbing fish, well, to be exact, it should be Lian Zining and the two ladies watching the Valkyrie stinging fish.

A two-foot-square ice cave was carved into the thick ice, and oxygen was dissolved into the water, which was particularly abundant, and with the attraction of light, the fish would naturally swim over.

This lake is full of two miles in a square circle, the area is not small, it is already able to raise big fish, the lake is living water, there is a dark river at the bottom leading to the Maji River outside the city, the fish in it are big, fat and stupid, easy to catch.

Qi Wei stared intently at the ice cave, her right hand half-raised, her slender and powerful hand did not move at all, and she tightly grasped the spear in her hand. The Kang Su sisters hugged Lian Zining's arm tightly on the left and right, staring intently, their little faces full of devotion, and they seemed to be more nervous than Qi Wei.

Suddenly, the spear in Qiwei's hand moved, and it was inserted into the water very quickly, as if a pot was boiling in the water, and it was vaguely visible that a big fish was fluttering up and down in it. The lake turned red, and then soon dispersed, and Qi Wei lifted the spear, only to see a large golden carp two feet long wearing it!

"Hit, hit! Miss Kivi is amazing! The sisters let out a cheer.

Looking at the two sisters who admired them very much, Qi Wei smiled embarrassedly: "In my hometown, we often have to do this in winter, otherwise there will be nothing to eat." ”

Lian Zining went up to take a look, and said with a smile: "We have caught it today, this is an authentic Yellow River carp, and you can't eat it when you are idle." It has always swam from the other side of the Maji River, and the Yellow River carp is extremely delicious. ”

As soon as she heard that there was something delicious, Qi Wei's eyes suddenly lit up, and she nodded vigorously, looking at Lian Zining pitifully, like a puppy begging for food.

Lian Zining laughed: "It's time for dinner, four fish, enough to eat, let's eat!" The whole whole fish feast at noon! ”

The three girls all cheered, obviously looking forward to the all-fish feast at noon.

There was already a group of maids waiting by the lake, and a thick layer of felt was spread on the ground, and then a velvet blanket was spread on it, and a windproof fence was built around the velvet blanket, among which a small number were placed, and in the middle was a stove grill. Seeing Lian Zining and the four of them coming, a group of maids hurriedly welcomed them over and waited carefully.

Although the Kang Su sisters are nominally Lian Zining's maids, their status in the mansion is extremely transcendent, and when Lian Zining is not there, they are actually handling the affairs of the mansion, and who dares to treat them as maids?

The weather is cold and frozen, the plum blossom ridge next to it is full of yellow flowers all over the mountain, on the bank of this plum blossom ridge, the shore of the lake, a feast is opened.

The scenery is beautiful and refreshing.

Someone had already taken the wooden barrel, took it down, scraped the scales of the fish, cut open the belly and removed the internal organs, and sent it clean.

There was a cook in her thirties, who still had charm, moved a small pestle and sat in front of Lian Zining and others, burned the charcoal fire, and then took out the secret seasoning and began to make it.

This cook was sent by Meng Fanqian, a big family in Lijin County, who was originally born as a fisherwoman on the edge of the Yellow River, and her grilled fish was famous in the entire Lijin County, and even dignitaries from other counties made a special trip to eat her grilled fish. When Meng Fanqian mentioned it to him during the banquet, Lian Zining moved his mind and asked Meng Fanqian to invite her family, and now her man is working as a porter in the town guard mansion, which can be regarded as a great errand.

At this time, Lian Zining also saw Wu Daliang, got up and greeted: "Old Wu, come here, come here, you are blessed." ”

Seeing Wu Daliang coming, Kang Su wanted to retreat, Lian Zining smiled: "He is an old man with fifty or sixty half necks buried in the soil, it should be soft and hard, it should be hard and soft, what are you doing with so much taboo?" I'm not afraid, sir. ”

What he said was playful and meaningful, and all the maids covered their mouths and snickered. Kang Su's face was red, only Qiwei, a stupid girl, was stupid, look at this, look at that, and laugh funny.

Wu Daliang came over, and when he saw the posture of a large group of warblers and Yanyan, he immediately smiled bitterly: "My lord, do you know what the chaos is like outside?" ”

He was dressed in civilian clothes, gray-headed, and had a few tears on his body, which he had been caught by angry showmen when he came over just now.

"Of course I know, I already knew about it last night when some people were in tandem." Lian Zining laughed and beckoned Wu Daliang to come over, but Wu Daliang was a polite and cautious person, hindering a group of women from being there, and refused to enter the enclosure even if he was killed, Lian Zining said that he finally went in, and sat next to Lian Zining, but there was a curtain next to him, and he could only see Lian Zining, and he couldn't see other women, so as to show that he had no touch on Lian Zining's women.

How can there be any turmoil in these six counties that can be hidden from Lian Zining? He already knew about it when the instigators behind these talents were ready to make trouble.

Hearing Lian Zining's words, Wu Daliang's heart settled down, knowing that this adult must have already made a plan, but he was still puzzled in his heart, and asked: "The lower official is stupid, why don't you stop it?" ”

"Stop, why should I stop? Besides, how can I stop it? Lian Zining spread his hands: "The dynasty has been courteous to Wenchen for a hundred years, these scholars, but they can't be offended, do I beat them or kill them?" If you are not careful, if you deal with it properly, the readers in this world can drown me with a spittle! Yes, you can't move your hands. ”

He smiled, his face full of enthusiasm: "Let them make trouble, make trouble casually, make trouble whatever you want!" The good governance done by this official is seen by the people of the six counties, and without the people rising up, what can they do to help this group of poor people? ”

Wu Daliang said: "That's true, but if you continue to make trouble like this, your reputation will be damaged after all, and if it spreads to the capital, wouldn't it be bad?" ”

"Spread to the capital? It's better to pass it on to the capital! Wu Daliang is now in the same boat as himself, and from this matter, it seems that he is also loyal and very attentive, Lian Zining decided to reveal a little bit of news to him, leaned over his ears, and said in a low voice: "We are the Ming Dynasty, the civil and military affairs, as a military attache in the town, if the literati in the governance are all in the heart, and I am like a god, then you say, what will you think if it reaches the ears of those adults and the ears of the emperor?" To be honest, I'm thankful for these poor people! ”

Wu Daliang's body was shocked, and he suddenly realized, and said continuously: "My lord is smart, it's really smart!" ”

Lian Zining smiled a little coldly: "People say that Xiucai rebelled, and it won't work for three years, if I don't deceive me, if I replace the official with them, I will directly find a few Xiucai to make trouble, and then intercept and kill him on the way back, in this way, the official's crime is settled, and there is still such a trouble?" ”

Wu Daliang's body was cold, he didn't dare to answer, and said in silence for a moment: "If they are allowed to make trouble like this, but the adults are silent, won't it make outsiders think that the adults are kind and easy to deceive?" ”

"Old Wu, don't worry!" Lian Zining patted him on the shoulder, laughed and said, "This official has the means to deal with them, look, you, just wait to see a good show!" ”

He beckoned: "Lady of the Chen family, hurry up, this official can't help it." ”

The lady of the Chen family is not a flower and moon appearance, just a middle and upper middle, not better than the maid in the house, but she was born in a fishing girl, and her complexion is the kind of extremely healthy wheat color, and the perennial large amount of exercise makes her body extremely fit.

She smiled shyly and said embarrassedly: "It's almost soon, master, you have to wait for a while." ”

At this time, the seasoning has been prepared, and the bowl of thick black paste looks very unsightly. Seeing that the charcoal fire was almost the same, she put on an apron, rolled up her sleeves, and walked to the knife case unhurriedly, holding a silver knife in her hand, took the fish, cut and wiped the belly, but after a moment's effort, the fish were already covered with large and small knife edges, seven horizontal and eight vertical.

Her movements are not only skillful, but also very beautiful, because of her familiarity and orderliness, when she moves, she sways freely, as if dancing, and all the maids are dumbfounded. Qi Wei Guden swallowed a mouthful of saliva, just looking at this posture, she already felt that this grilled fish must be extremely delicious. When she came to the Ming Kingdom, she also knew a lot, and anyone who had the ability in the Ming Dynasty could see it from his actions.

After filling the fish with knife edges, he brushed the ingredients carefully, stayed for a while, and after the sauce seeped in, he brushed another layer, and then put the fish on the stove and smoked it carefully.

In a short time, the surface of the fish had turned a charred yellow, and the skin of the fine flesh on the outside was cracked, and drops of grease seeped out of it, dripping onto the fire, making a fluttering sound. And after a while, the extremely delicious aroma overflowed, and it was immediately appetizing.

Grunden, Qiwei swallowed another mouthful of saliva.

Even a gluttonous like Lian Zining who never gets tired of eating is quite looking forward to it, what kind of taste does this famous Chen family grilled fish look like?

The fish was finally cooked, and the maids hurriedly brought the grilled fish in the rain-swept azure plate to Lian Zining and the others, and the three girls all looked at him with blank eyes, obviously waiting for him to eat first. Lian Zining first leaned over and sniffed deeply, he felt a delicious fragrance rush into his nose, and then he used silver chopsticks to clip a piece, the knife work of the Chen family lady is excellent, after the fish is cooked, the fish meat has become a piece of garlic cloves. Put it in your mouth and bite it gently, only to feel that it is brown and crisp, very tender, and has an excellent taste!

There is already a warm bamboo leaf green, and a gentle sip of wine is really wonderful.

"Hmmm! The taste is beautiful! Lian Zining said to the third girl: "Don't be stunned, eat quickly!" ”

"Oh!"

The Kangsu sisters are all holding them with chopsticks in small bites, chewing and swallowing slowly, which is very elegant. But as I ate, the speed increased, and I obviously thought it was delicious. The Valkyrie took a big bite directly with both hands, and was heroic to the extreme. Occasionally stopped his mouth, drank a large bowl of pale blue bamboo leaves, took a breath, and said: "It's delicious!" You Ming people will really enjoy it! ”

Lian Zining smiled apologetically at Wu Daliang: "Old Wu, this meal has already been allowed to them, but there is no part of yours, and I will ask someone to clean up a good banquet to accompany you later." ”

"Hey, what did you say, my lord, I had already eaten it before Xia Guan came." Wu Daliang hurriedly shook his hand.

Lian Zining laughed and said to the maids: "Don't stand still, pass the meal, and eat together." By the way, it's freezing today, let's eat hot pot! ”

The maid answered, went down and gave an order, and after a while, the flowing meat and vegetables were delivered, and the mandarin duck pots were also set up. The charcoal below is red, the hot water is boiled out of bubbles, and the base has been thrown in, although there is no chili pepper in the Ming Dynasty at this time, but there is already a substitute, pepper, pepper and ginger slices are mixed together, and it is also very spicy.

The meat and vegetables were thrown in, and they were quickly cooked, dipped in sesame sauce, sprinkled with pepper, and all the little girls of fifteen or sixteen years old, who were the youngest of their youth, were sweating on the tip of their noses and crimson on their little faces.

Qiwei fussed, "Wow, this is pepper!" In our case, this thing costs the same weight of gold! ”

The maids were all snickering, Lian Zining covered her forehead weakly, and looked her up and down, as if she was looking at a cave man on the top of the mountain wrapped in animal skin.

"Why do you think of me like that?" Qiwei glanced herself up and down, and seeing that there was nothing wrong, she didn't care about anything else, just lowered her head to eat meat and drink. For this innocent girl who seems to lack a string in her head, the sky is the biggest, and the food in front of her is the biggest.

Kang Su chewed and swallowed slowly, his red lips squirmed, shiny, and extremely tempting.

When he saw Lian Zining looking at her, he also smiled at him. Yellow flowers are all over the field, lead clouds are pressing the sky, this woman's smile is so frozen, like a seal, fiercely imprinted in Lian Zining's heart.

Lian Zining's heart moved, he raised his chopsticks and grabbed a piece of fish meat, handed it to her mouth, and said softly: "Open your mouth!" ”

"Huh?" It was the first time for Kang Su to be so intimate with him in front of people, and he immediately blushed, but under Lian Zining's forced gaze, he still obediently opened his cherry mouth, and Lian Zining handed it forward, and the fish meat was put into her mouth and chewed gently.

The mouth is delicious, and the heart is also a little sweet, the whole heart seems to be soaked in honey, sweet and greasy, and shrouded by an inexplicable sense of happiness.

"The lord still cares about me after all, the officials at this time, all of them claim to be upright gentlemen, that is, how do the queen and the concubine laugh at Wuji, but they also put on a decent gentleman's appearance in front of people, how can they be so intimate with me in front of everyone like the master?"

Kang Ling tasted, pursed his mouth, and pulled Lian Zining's arm to be coquettish: "Master, I want to ...... too"

The voice is so sweet that it gets tired of death.

Lian Zining smiled, and also took a piece of fish meat and sent it to the little mouth.

At this time, Qiwei also came over to join in the fun, and probed over: "My lord, I want it too!" ”

Lian Zining's face was blank and he scolded: "Don't mess around! ”

Qi Wei didn't eat his set, her chest was straight, and it almost reached the tip of Lian Zining's nose, and for a moment Lian Zining actually had the illusion of Mount Tai pressing on the top, and the two peaks of intuition towered in front of him.

"Your Excellency, you can't be partial!" Qi Wei drank a lot of wine, her face was already red, and her eyes were a little drunk, she pulled Lian Zining's arm, like a little girl, and said coquettishly: "Feed me, feed me!" ”

The always heroic red-haired Amazon Valkyrie suddenly made such a childlike appearance, Lian Zining couldn't bear it, a pair of eyes glanced at her slender and straight legs, the choppy peaks, and the bright little mouth, I don't know if it was the wine surging or what, it was the angry frog below.

In desperation, he had to feed her a mouthful, and then coaxed Qiwei, who was already a little drunk.

Everyone was eating, Lian Zining took a look, but saw that the lady of the Chen family was sitting on the side and not eating, and her expression was very restrained.

He smiled and said, "Lady of the Chen family, don't be restrained, let's eat together!" Not long after you arrived, you will know that the rules in our house are not very big. ”

The lady of the Chen family smiled stiffly: "I have eaten it just now, and I am not hungry now." ”

Lian Zining saw that she was also uncomfortable here, so she smiled and said, "You should step back first!" ”

"Yes!" The lady of the Chen family breathed a sigh of relief, got up and saluted and was about to leave.

Lian Zining said again: "Wait! ”

He smiled and said: "Today, your grilled fish is extremely delicious, and the official likes it very much, come and reward ten taels of gold, fifty taels of silver, and fifty taels of money!" ”

"Yes!" A maid answered, and went down to the inner treasury to collect the money.

Such a heavy reward made Wu Daliang startled, and a mouthful of sweet and sour fish almost didn't squirt out. Such a reward, if it is all the assets of a medium-sized family, it cannot be considered small. If a poor county is slaughtered as a county order, these benefits may not be obtained in a year.

Looking at the others, they looked like they were accustomed to it, and they were not surprised, Wu Daliang couldn't help but sigh secretly, people outside rumored that this Lian adult's family was rich, and it was really true, looking at other people's style.

The lady of the Chen family was already stunned when she heard such a heavy reward, and after reacting, she hurriedly excused herself and didn't dare to say anything.

"What don't you dare!" Lian Zining said with a smile: "In the future, I will have to wait for you, if you don't accept it, won't the official be worried about eating?" ”

Hearing him say this, the lady of the Chen family couldn't, so she had to accept it and thank her.
