Chapter 8: Winter Killing (5)
Unconsciously, it is the time of the New Year, and today is the twenty-third day of the lunar month according to the calendar, which is the small year of the Chinese people. But the various traditions of that era were formed after the Warring States Period www.biquge.info so everyone was stunned when Zhao Zheng proposed to make dumplings.
But they all swallowed saliva without exception, this is a matter of habit, Zhao Zheng's products must be high-quality products, which has become the consensus of the people of Quanyi County.
"Master, how are the dumplings made and how do they taste?" , Xiaozhu, who has been regarded as a fox by Chunniang, leaned forward and asked.
Chun Niang glared at her dissatisfied, and scolded: "It's not big or small, how can the things made by Zhao Lang not be delicious." Xiaozhu didn't dare to speak, lowered her head and retreated, Chun Niang looked at the secret joy in her heart, the building near the water got the moon first, and Xiao Nizi wanted to go to Zhao Lang's bed for the rest of her life.
"This?"
Zhao Zheng looked at this palace fight with a bitter face, and his mind was confused, and he finally understood the emperor's distress, and the three thousand beauties were thirty thousand.
But Chun Niang's craftsmanship is not unknown, he doesn't want to be made by Chun Niang dark cuisine, but it's not easy to refuse, so he said: "Of course, this dumpling should be delicious for everyone to make together, you come and roll the dumpling skin with me, Xiaomei and Xiaolan go to chop the vegetables, remember to break them." Uncle Tao went to cut meat, Xiaozhu and the wind and rain went to boil water, and you went to the other courtyard to call your Grandpa Mu over to eat together. ”
"Zhao Lang, is this dumpling skin important?" Chunniang asked in a low voice, looking at Zhao Zheng's appearance of arranging troops, it seemed that she had another chicken rib job.
"The dumplings are delicious and all in the skin, do you say it's important?" Zhao Zheng said another nonsense against his will.
Rolling the skin and stuffing, Zhao Zheng skillfully wrapped a dumpling and put it on the board to become a textbook-like existence.
Chun Niang stared carefully for a long time, how she looked like an ear, but no matter how she made it, it looked like a bun.
Tao Yuan, who was drinking tea next to him, saw Chunniang's "dumplings" and said with a smile: "It's not bad, the old man can still eat steamed buns with stuffing tonight." ”
Zi~~, Chun Niang's eyes were covered, and everyone present held back their laughter, but Tao Yuan, who laughed at first, had an awkward face like a twist.
"Xiaozhu, is there not enough firewood in the kitchen, Uncle Tao will trouble you to chop it."
Tao Yuan was like being poured a basin of ice water, his face instantly drooped, and he said in his heart: "Uh, what's the matter with me?" "But there is no way, this female devil will definitely suffer.
Looking at Tao Yuan's lonely back, Chun Niang felt unbearable, she was also an elder and couldn't be treated badly. He pointed to Xiaozhu who had always been unpleasant and said, "Uncle Tao is old and his eyes are not good, Xiaozhu, you go and get a lantern for his old man to shine on." ”
What should come will always come, Xiaozhu has expected it, and recently for some reason, the master mother is always against herself, but the master is getting better and better to herself, of course, there is no competition for favor in her young heart.
An old man and a young man were separated by Chunniang, and everyone who had learned from the past did not dare to accuse, but Xiaomei and Xiaolan, the two older ones, were glad that they were not too close to Zhao Zheng, and at the same time envied Xiaoju, who was served by the carpenter.
Chun Niang showed her majesty and became more and more powerful, and after a while, the buns on the board accounted for a large area. Zhao Zheng looked like he wanted to cry without tears, and the pot of dumplings that was served well became a basket of steamed buns.
"Okay, let's go to the pot first, remember that the water is boiling and add two scoops of cold water, add two times in total."
Xiaolan answered with a plate of dumplings, and Xiaomei behind her also carried a plate of steamed buns, Zhao Zheng whispered to him just now, these are all steamed in the pot.
"Welcome the new year and say goodbye to the old year, but unfortunately there is no peach charm." Zhao Zheng looked at the empty door panel and sighed, in a blink of an eye, he had been in this other world for half a year.
"Bang~" The door was suddenly knocked open, but it was Jing Ke who came in, holding a child covered in blood in his arms, not Yingbu.
"Brother Jing, where did you find this child, and how did he become like this?"
Zhao Zheng looked at Yingbu in Jing Ke's arms, the placket jacket was stained red with blood, and there were a few flocs floating on his back.
Jing Ke calmed his face and whispered: "Just now I wanted to come to you to see when I had nothing to do at home, but I saw a horse carrying this unconscious child on the road, and I saw that he was pitiful and rescued him." ”
Rubbing rice is rubbing rice, take those reasons. Zhao Zheng looked at Jing Ke and snorted, beckoning Chun Niang to come over with some clean cloth and spirits.
Cutting open Yingbu's clothes, the wounds inside were shocking, about three or four arrow wounds, and there was a sword wound on the leg.
"Hiss~"
When Zhao was disinfecting Yingbu with spirits, he woke up screaming as if he had a long dream. Seeing that it was Zhao Zhengshi in front of him, he happily wanted to speak, but he couldn't say it.
The anxious Yingbu was helpless, trying to spit out the words, Xiaozhu looked at the little nephew's mouth and said, "Killing, slaughtering the village, bandits, here." ”
After Xiaozhu finished speaking, Yingbu nodded expectantly, holding Zhao Zheng's hand harder and harder, and at the same time, the tight wound also collapsed due to the force.
"Boo is obedient and drinks this."
Zhao Zheng put the wine jug against Yingbu's mouth, he didn't even think about it, drank it all, and then fell asleep in a daze.
After bandaging Yingbu's external wounds, Zhao Zheng carefully recalled these words, probably knowing that the mountain village was slaughtered by bandits, but in this season, bandits generally do not act.
"Brother Jing, what do you think about this?"
Jing Ke thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid that it was the eight-horse thief who did it, and you also saw the jujube red horse in the yard, which is the second horse's mount."
He was once an eagle knight of the Zhao family in the Jin Kingdom, and rebelled as a bandit during a treasure transport, and the flaminish horse was snatched by him from the hands of a Zhao family's son-in-law, and the rangers had heard of it. ”
"Eight horse thieves, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as looting a mountain village."
The old nest of the eight-horse thief, Dapingding, is nearly 500 miles away from Yixian, and it is impossible to reach Yixian even if he goes down the mountain to rob. This time it suddenly appeared with great fanfare, and it was not found for five hundred miles along the way, and the request must be not small, and the only person in Yixian County who had a holiday with the eight horse thieves was Zhao Zheng.
"It's not good, I'm afraid that their target is me, hurry up and get in the carriage and go to the other courtyard immediately."
"What's the hurry, the dumplings aren't cooked yet?"
After Zhao Zheng heard that anger, he was so terrible, and he didn't care about eating that bite. said: "Little ancestor, your life is almost gone, what dumplings do you eat, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave if it's too late." ”
As soon as the words fell, Tao Yuan and Xiaozhu hurriedly ran back, gasping and said, "Oh no, the eight horse thieves are coming." ”
Zhao Zheng and Jing Ke came to the courtyard, watching the torches in the distance getting closer and closer, and the ground trembled slightly. Jing Ke scolded: "What an incompetent Ji Chong, so many bandits crossing the border, he doesn't even know at all? ”
Zhao Zheng listened to the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, took a deep breath and looked at the sky, and said in his heart: "If you weren't joking, then I was being targeted again." ”
"Xiaomei, Xiaolan, Xiaozhu, a few of you go out from the back door with the cloth and follow the housemother, hurry up to the other courtyard, don't come back.
Wind, Rain, Tong, and Zhou, the four of you follow us to prepare to defend against the enemy, and this time we want to kill a man's fan. ”
Chun Niang's eyes hesitated, looked at Zhao Zheng and nodded, and then escaped from the back door with Yingbu.
The courtyard is less than five miles away from here, and Chunniang can arrive in a moment by carriage, but at this moment, Zhao Zheng and them also need to cover.
It's not that it's safer to go to the other courtyard, but it's at least the only garrison in the vicinity, although there is only a hundred-person team, but it's also the personal guard of Yihou Mansion. At the beginning, Zhao Zheng agreed to jointly operate an iron-making workshop with Yihou, thinking that he would not let the secret recipe of the Hundred Refining Knife be stolen, and he would definitely send someone to protect it.
originally thought that he could protect the safety of his family by the way, but he really came to trouble, and Zhao Zheng didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
"Zhao Zheng, there are at least three hundred people on the other side, and there are only seven of us, how do you say this battle will be fought?"
Tao Yuan, who was the centurion of the Ruishi Battalion, was never afraid of thousands of troops, but this seven against three hundred still made him a little suspicious.
Jing Ke also pulled out the spring rain and looked at Zhao Zheng suspiciously, it doesn't look like he is going to die, can he reverse the defeat? Jing Ke was a little puzzled, although this might be almost impossible to happen.
"How to fight, hit with noodles."
