Chapter 117: The Red Emperor is in charge
Liu Yuan also understood what Cao Shen meant, after all, the people are the people, and the fierce battle in the past two days has made the hearts of the people in Pei County fluctuate. It was very difficult to convince the people to go to war. Liu Yuan lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, and suddenly he laughed out loud and said, "Liu Fang, quickly go to the city to buy or exchange chickens." ”
"Chickens?" Liu Fang looked puzzled, this was the time of the Great War, and he didn't understand why Liu Yuan wanted to buy a large number of chickens.
Liu Yuan waved his hand and urged: "Let's go, the two days of fierce fighting, the people's hearts are unstable, I want to distribute chickens to win the support of the people." ”
"I see." Liu Fang suddenly realized that there were so many of them, and he didn't know the chickens that could be eaten, all, he replied: "Fang try to do it." ”
"Let's go down too." Liu Yuan said again.
"No!" Cao Shen and others also left one after another.
Liu Yuan sat alone in the lobby, and after pondering the thoughts in his heart carefully, he bowed his head slightly. Then, Liu Yuan got up and ordered someone to weave a bamboo cage with thin bamboo strips, and this bamboo cage was about the size of a chicken, and a hemp rope was tied to the upper end of the bamboo cage, so that it was easy to extract.
After waiting for more than an hour at the county office, Liu Fang finally returned, and the latter said with a little sadness: "My lord, Fang has purchased it in the whole city, but the number of chickens is only more than 300, which is not enough to distribute to everyone for consumption. ”
Liu Yuan smiled and said, "It's okay." What about chickens? ”
"I've ordered someone to transport it to the backyard stove." Liu Fang replied immediately.
"Hmm!" Liu Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, I already know, you can step back too." Later, Liu Yuan went to the stove room alone, he lit firewood, then filled the pot with water, and put in a few chickens. The firewood was burning, and the water in the pot was gradually warming, Liu Yuan didn't wait for the water to boil, he took out a chicken, and then carefully knocked a crack in the chicken's eggshell, and he followed the crack to uncover the eggshell gap the size of a small fingernail.
However, this is not easy, after all, the chickens are gelatinous and the eggshells are fragile, and a small gap is a piece of fine work. The first time the shell was uncovered, and the whole chicken cracked. Liu Yuan shook his head slightly, took out a chicken in warm water again, and gently knocked the crack again, ready to uncover the shell. After repeating this, Liu Yuan finally broke five chickens before he got a chicken that was only the size of a small fingernail.
Because the egg is gelatinous, Liu Yuan steamed it with warm water in advance, and the chicken has a semi-solidified state, so the egg white and yolk of the whole chicken have not leaked out of the gap in the eggshell. Liu Yuan was overjoyed, he took out a small animal skin with handwriting from his arms, and he stuffed the animal skin into the chicken through the gap in the entire eggshell.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Yuan put the chicken into the bamboo cage, he held the hemp rope, and then put the bamboo cage into the water in the pot, and the gap in the eggshell was at the upper end of the bamboo cage. In this way, there is a hemp rope to lift, and Liu Yuan controls the chicken to prevent the water in the pot from invading the inside of the chicken through the gap.
As the fire swelled, the water in the pot was already boiling, and the chickens in the bamboo cage were gradually cooked and turned into a solidified state. Liu Yuan took out the chicken with the animal skin, the chicken was ripe, and from the outside, it was impossible to know that there was something hidden in it.
When the matter was completed, Liu Yuan put the chicken in his arms, and then he instructed the officials to put all the chickens into the pot in batches and cook them. In order to confuse everyone, Liu Yuan picked out another batch of these boiled chickens, he deliberately cracked the eggshells of the chickens, and then he took out the animal skin chickens from his arms and mixed them into the cracked chickens.
The reason for this is to keep this animal skin chicken from being obtrusive, after all, the eggshell of this chicken has a gap. Everything is ready, Liu Yuan is also relieved, as for whether he can convince the people, it depends on this plan?
The next morning, Liu Yuan ordered people to carry the cooked chickens outside the county office, and also asked people to go around to publicize the news of the county government's distribution of chickens. Sure enough, after hearing the news, many people hurried to the outside of the county office, because there were only more than 300 chickens, so naturally they were on a first-come, first-served basis. The people were elated, and they were reluctant to eat this chicken on weekdays.
Wang Er smiled innocently, he finally grabbed a chicken, Wang Er hurriedly peeled off the eggshell of the chicken, and then stuffed the chicken into his mouth like swallowing dates, as if he was afraid of being snatched by others. Wang Er chewed, he was suddenly stunned, the whole person sighed lightly, he put his hand into his mouth, and actually took out a piece of animal skin from the chicken.
Wang Twenty was very puzzled, how could this good chicken have extra animal skins? He spread out the skin, and saw that there was writing on the small skin. Wang Er was illiterate, so he panicked and found the third elder of Pei County, "Third elder, take a look, this is strange, how can there be animal skins with words in chickens." ”
"Oh?" The three elders also heard of this kind of thing for the first time, and they hurriedly took the animal skin in the king's second-hand, and after carefully identifying it, there were five words written on it: "The Red Emperor is in Dangxing".
"Red Emperor? Who is the Red Emperor? The three elders were shocked, they looked at Wang Er, and asked eagerly, "Are you sure this is the animal skin that grows out of the chicken?" ”
"How dare I, the second king, deceive the third elder, this chicken was picked up at the county government just now." Wang Er didn't dare to lie and immediately explained.
"Red Emperor Dangxing" immediately spread throughout Pei County, and the fact that Wang Erji ate the Book of Heaven was also crossed more and more mysterious. All the people were discussing who was the son of the Red Emperor, and at the station of the people of Fengyi, Wang Lao also heard about it, not only him, but also the strong men and soldiers who had stayed in the deep mountains of Qian County with Liu Yuan were also shocked again.
The son of the Red Emperor is Liu Yuan, and in the word of mouth of these strong men and soldiers, Liu Yuan's dream of cutting the white snake in the deep mountains is also known to the people of Pei County. For a time, the entire Pei County was shaken, and "the Red Emperor was Xing" was Pei Gong Dangxing, which was God's gift, and the people immediately gathered at the county government.
The three elders of Pei County were invited into the county office, and after they saw Liu Yuan, their expressions became more respectful, "I don't know that Pei Gong is the son of the Red Emperor, and I hope that the Red Emperor will forgive his sins." ”
Liu Yuan smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I haven't publicized this matter, I don't know how the three elders know?" ”
"Pei Gong still doesn't know?" The three elders were all stunned, "Now everyone in Pei County knows that the Red Emperor is in good hands." Immediately, one of them respectfully handed over the animal skin and said, "This is the book of heaven in the chicken, and I also ask the Red Emperor to check it." ”
Liu Yuan pretended to be puzzled and took the animal skin, and after he looked at it, he also asked in a deep voice: "Book of Heaven?" ”
"Yes, yes." The third elder nodded and replied seriously.
The third update!
