Zhang Yue was anxious all the way, and arrived in front of a large mansion in the village, which was the destination of the trip, Zhang Lizheng's home, and now it has become the temporary military office of the Liao army. In front of the hospital, the Liao soldiers carried bows and arrows on their backs, carried guns and knives, and were heavily guarded in three steps and a post in five steps.

The officer led him through the side door into the large backyard, where a dozen or so Liao soldiers were busy slaughtering the stolen pigs and sheep and washing some vegetables, apparently preparing lunch.

A short and stout Liao soldier with a meaty face was probably the housekeeper of this group, and hurriedly greeted him, smiling and bowing with his hands on his chest and waist. The two said a few words, and the officer surnamed Wu turned around and left, and the stout man immediately looked over, tilting his head and squinting his eyes to look Zhang Yue up and down.

"Quack quack quack ......"

"What kind of bird language do you say?" With a humble smile on his face, Zhang Yue asked seriously.

“……”

The strong man pouted, raised his chin high, snorted coldly, and turned around and walked quickly. But soon he came back, and there were two more eighteen or nineteen-year-old young men behind him, dressed in coarse gray clothes, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, looking not like Liao soldiers, but like slave guys.

The thin and tall man stepped forward, bowed his waist, and asked curiously: "I heard that the Ukrainian envoy sent you, do you cook dog meat?" ”

"It's okay to boil dog meat, you guys?" Zhang Yue asked with some surprise.

"Hey...... The Ukrainian military envoy let us listen to your call, my name is Zhang Da! His name is Ho San! Zhang Da bowed and said humbly.

"That's a good idea! My name is Zhang Yue, a native of Anyangli! You don't look like soldiers of the Liao Army, where are you? Zhang Yue asked while looking at the two.

"We are all shop guys in Fuyang Liquor Store by the Hulu River, and we also do some boat ferrying on weekdays, so we will be caught, but fortunately, we can cook and cook, and our little fate is sav......ed," Zhang Da said this, and quickly glanced at the short man next to him, and his face became very unnatural.

Zhang Yue nodded, he understood in his heart, it seems that the commander of the Liao army is a foodie, and even when he goes out to fight, he has to catch cooks everywhere to satisfy his appetite. Fortunately, he was clever enough just now, otherwise it would be difficult to say if his life would still be there, but the sentry who was beaten by himself would definitely take revenge on himself to death.

......The short man next to him had a big cake face in black, and screamed impatiently, waved his big hand to signal Zhang Yue to follow, turned around and entered the room, pointed to the stove and said something, and then lifted a blood-red and shiny dog leg from the basket, which seemed to be the hind limb part, and handed it to Zhang Yue, signaling that he could do it.

Zhang Yue took it and looked at it, his nose came close and smelled it, there was only the smell of oil, but no blood, this dog meat was not very fresh, or it was marinated and dried to make "wind-dried dog meat", it tasted hard and crisp, and it was very fragrant, not so big; Either use fresh, a sand nest to stew dog meat, dog meat fire nest, dog meat soup or something.

Well...... It seems feasible to have no fire nest in these years. Wait a minute...... If Lao Tzu's cooking skills are too good, they are addicted to eating, and they take me to Liao as a cook, then it will be a big trouble. It's better to make a dog soup to deal with the past, this ingredient is simple, but you need fresh dog meat.

After another chicken and duck talk, the short and strong man was annoyed, and went outside to call Zhang Da and He San to act as interpreters, and finally solved the problem of collusion and communication.

Soon, a fat big yellow dog pulled in, Zhang Yue threw it a bone, and the big yellow dog shook its tail in surprise and gnawed its head in surprise.

The dog slaughtering board, receiving the blood copper basin, and untying the wrist knife are ready to be in place, Zhang Yue approached the big yellow dog, pretended to caress its neck affectionately, and slowly brought it to the board, signaling Zhang Da to prepare to grab the dog's legs, and He San stroked the dog's tail.

The two were ready, Zhang Yue grabbed the dog's neck, pressed it on the low-footed board, pressed it with his knees, and felt the sharp knife in the copper basin under the board with his right hand, and stabbed it obliquely at the bottom of the dog's neck, reaching his heart. The dog's blood gushed out along the handle of the knife and sprinkled into the copper basin on the ground, and when the sharp knife was pulled out, the blood gushed out, and the big yellow dog whimpered a few times, struggled and twitched, and then did not move.

The next step is to peel the skin and cut off the head, cut the abdomen and take out the organs, Zhang Yue is very familiar, and then wash the whole large piece of dog meat, hang it upside down on the wooden frame with an iron hook, raise the plate axe with a short handle and a wide blade, aim at the vertebrae of the dog's tail, brush the ground and go down with an axe, and instantly divide it into two halves.

The dog meat with legs on both sides swayed on the wooden frame, and the short and sturdy steward of the Liao people who watched on the side was greatly surprised, and as for Zhang Da and He San, they were already dumbfounded.

In fact, it is not a hard chop with brute force, but a sharp axe blade to take the angle and even split and scratch. Otherwise, the vertebrae are very hard, and it is easy to get stuck in the axe, not to mention, and it will also roll the blade.

A dog is just opening the edge, and if a pig opens the edge with an axe, it must not scare you to death...... Seeing the appearance of the four people, Zhang Yue felt a little proud in his heart, and put down the short axe as if nothing happened.

This axe requires both strength and some skills, after Zhang Yue was reborn, he practiced the use of the axe with the cheap father for more than a month to do this, which is still due to his martial arts foundation, and the father also has the unique skill of using the axe.

Otherwise, his name will not be called "Yue", the nickname is called "Big Axe", the second brother is called Cheng, and the nickname is "Little Axe", all of which mean axes. But the folk are not often called "Yue", but "axe".

Fresh dog meat is available, wash the corn under the sand nest, cook it over a fierce fire, and then add an appropriate amount of dog meat, ginger, salt, chives, and after seven minutes of doneness, the aroma of dog meat spreads out, which is mouth-watering. The short man had been watching, and at this moment his face also showed a look of surprise, and he couldn't help but step forward to open the small cover of the sand nest to watch.

Zhang Yue stopped him and pulled him aside, the short man's eyes showed puzzlement, but he didn't get angry. After boiling slowly on low heat for a while, Zhang Yue stepped forward to take a look, and then signaled that it was okay.

At this time, it was time for lunch. The stout man took the sand nest and put it in a tray, picked it up and went to the front yard. Zhang Yue wandered around the backyard boredly, and Zhang Da and He San followed silently behind him, with a look of admiration.

"When did you two leave Fuyang Town? The Hulu River is five or six zhang wide, how to cross the river? Zhang Yue asked in a low voice, not mentioning the Liao Army in half a word.

"We crossed the river yesterday afternoon, we were running in the Fuyang wine shop, and the Liao army was surrounded outside, so we were arrested, but when the Hulu River reached the dry season, most of them crossed the river on reed rafts."

"Reed rafts can also cross rivers...... How many men do they have? What will be the name of the Lord? Zhang Yue saw that no one was paying attention on the side, so he went straight in.

"I don't know...... Some say that there are only three or four thousand horses, and some say that there are tens of thousands of horsemen, and I heard that the Lord will be called Gao Mohan, and he is the one we serve! Zhang Xiaoxiao said loudly.

"Then where are all the people in this Dongzhuang? What about other troops? Zhang Yue thought about it for a moment and continued to ask.

"I overheard them say, seven thousand five hundred horsemen...... The six or seven hundred people in Dongzhuang were all escorted away early this morning. I quietly asked someone, and I heard that it was sent to the north bank of the Hulu River first, and then sent to Youzhou for resettlement. He San said.

"Huh? You're clever! Zhang Yue was surprised, and couldn't help but look at He San or twice, this kid is shorter than Zhang Da, but his figure is strong and powerful at a glance, and his eyes are also bright.

Zhang Yue glanced around, and said with a wry smile: "The Liao army is here to grab money, food, and population...... Even if we don't kill us ordinary people, once we go to Youzhou, we will live better than death, do you have any ideas? ”
