Chapter 18: Good Dishes

The Great Living Buddha was very happy: "Ask! ”

"Dayan is in a mess, Dog Rong shouldn't miss the opportunity, with Shengjing's scheming, how can he not see this heavy ......" Wu Da said with some hesitation. Bo Jie was shrewd, and after listening to his different tone, he understood what his disciple meant after a little pondering, and said with a smile: "You are borrowing Yan to talk about Tubo and Dog Rong to ask the Uighurs, right?" ”

The piety in Wuda's eyes was even more pious: "The disciple's mind can't be hidden from the master." ”

Wu Da will not spend too much time thinking about the affairs of Yan and Dog Rong, what he really cares about is: Dispatch 200,000 soldiers and horses to Eastern Xinjiang at once, there will inevitably be emptiness in the country, if the Uighurs take the opportunity to attack the country and invade the territory with heavy troops, Tubo is afraid that it will be passive.

However, Uda's concerns, the Great Living Buddha had already thought of it: "Don't wait for the Uighurs to come looking for trouble, we will do it first, when the 200,000 male soldiers enter the Great Yan in the east, Beiguan will also send troops to storm the Huihu Fire City." ”

The city of Flame was a border fortress for the Uighurs to reject Tibet, and its location was extremely important, and it was also included in the 'Jiangshan Bet' by Jingtai in that year.

Uda was taken aback...... The reason why this situation has been able to maintain for more than 100 years is that the south is weak, and each power borders the other two powers. This is a situation that affects the overall situation, no one will watch the neighbors not take advantage of the situation, and no one dares to rashly bear the two-front battle, and now the big living Buddha wants to 'double open', which is the road to prosperity and strength, and it is simply the way to seek death.

The Great Living Buddha has a good time: "The Uighurs are very confused, and the 77th anniversary of this seat was set 49 years ago, and there is no way to change it; Quinitu Eddy made a temporary enthronement canon, isn't it a deliberate troublemaker? In that case, his ceremony doesn't have to think about going smoothly... At that time, the steppe will also send troops and horses to attack the Uighur Crescent Valley from east to west, and we will fight their fiery cities from the south to the north. ”

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Uda could fully understand what the master meant, and the Tibetans could not afford two big battles, so the defeat of the Uighurs was not an all-out attack, but just a show. Imagine that soon after, the plateau and the steppe sent troops to the desert at the same time, and the Uighurs were attacked on both sides. At that time, the Uighurs did not have the heart to take care of other things, and by the time they understood that the Tubo and the Inurong were only feints, the Tubo had already occupied half of the Great Yan.

The Great Living Buddha's preemptive strike is indeed a good calculation, but Wuda figured out this one, and was confused by the other one: "For no reason, Dog Rong is willing to cooperate with us?" ”

Bo Jie smiled and nodded: "Who will do things that are not beneficial?" It has been discussed a long time ago, ten taels of gold for one person, and the dog Rong will send 100,000 troops to help us attack the Uighurs, this battle will not be too big, and the dog Rong people have earned it! ”

"What does Shizun mean... We use a million gold to buy dogs and move troops to 100,000 ......" Wuda couldn't go on, one million gold, a really large amount, if other countries offered this price to invite Tubo to do the same thing, they would also agree. But what really confused Wuda was that he couldn't have known that he didn't know that he hadn't started to transport such a large amount of money in the country, even if it hadn't started yet, he should at least start collecting gold and silver to prepare, but there was no movement at all in the country.

The Great Living Buddha could understand the disciple's expression, and continued to smile: "We are indeed buyers, but this time we don't have to pay for it, someone has a treat!" Shengjing has a request for us, so we have to show some sincerity. This monk has been a national teacher in a rich land all his life, and he is really a rich man. ”

It's a pity that the ears and eyes of the lackeys of Xie Men couldn't reach the Chaitso Pagoda Palace, otherwise they would suddenly realize at this moment that the gold they were eyeing was actually from the hands of the national teacher and was transferred from the twenty-one Sumeru Monastery; Mrs. Bo pulled Tan Guide to prepare for the transaction without capital, and what she robbed was the 'money for buying soldiers' for the dogs.

At this point, Wuda finally roughly sorted out the context of the matter, his face was relieved, and he exhaled a long sullen breath, at this time there was a knock on the door outside, and after getting permission, a servant entered the door, and said respectfully that dinner has been prepared, please eat the Great Living Buddha.

…… The whole Middle Earth is unified at all times, so when the Great Living Buddha eats, it is also the scene of Yanziping dinner, and Ren Xiaoyu in the Hou Mansion is holding this pair of chopsticks, his face is strange, staring intently at the only dish on the table.

After a long while, she suddenly burst out laughing: "Xiao Rong'er, what is the name of this dish you make?" Oil-fried rags? ”

The dishes on the table, at first glance, look dark, take a closer look... It's still a black mess, but it's really like throwing a tablecloth that hasn't been washed for three months into the pan and frying it before serving... This dish was fried by Ren Churong, and it was the first time in the world that the county master cooked.

Ren Churong's chin rested on her arms, lying on the edge of the table, looking at her masterpiece helplessly: "Osmanthus stuffed golden belly..."

This afternoon, Ren Xiaoqi had a whim, and happily found Ren Laosan, saying that she suddenly felt that stir-frying and cooking seemed to be very interesting, so she had to pull the third sister together and cook tonight's dinner herself.

Ren Churong saw through his sister's mind at once: When Song Yang comes back, it is time to kiss, and after the kiss, the princess will really become a little daughter-in-law, since she is a little daughter-in-law, how can she not cook?

Her Royal Highness set a standard for herself, which could not make a wine feast, but there must be one, two, three or four specialty dishes. In the future, I will make two exquisite dishes that are red and verdant, good-looking, smelling and delicious, and bring them out for Song Yang to drink...... However, in this fiefdom, there is more than one person who wants to become a 'little daughter-in-law', so when it comes to learning to cook, the princess must bring the county lord together.

Ren Churong was surprisingly idle this afternoon, first, she couldn't bear to disappoint her sister, and secondly, she also quietly put the" into the future situation, grasp the practice of a few small dishes, it seems to be really good, so the sisters discussed, today's dinner is a dish for one person, Xiaoyu is especially a lot of things, and also set a rule, you have to do it alone, you can ask the cook in advance about the process, but no one is allowed to guide or help when cooking, and when cooking, the sisters are also one person in a kitchen, each running to busy.

So now there is this plate of 'oil-fried rags', the dignified lord of the county, the entire Hongbo Mansion can be held in his hands, but it is broken in front of a wok...... Ren Churong blinked, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't feel that this dish looked like it could be eaten, so he simply sighed, stopped reviewing, and turned his eyes to look at his sister: "What about the dishes you made?" ”

Xiao Yu happily said to his sister: "His Royal Highness the county lord will come later, and the little slave will come here." After saying that, he ran out.

After a while, Xiao Yu turned back, held a long plate with a towel in her hand, and walked carefully step by step, it is estimated that even if she holds the jade seal, she will not be more careful than now.

As soon as Ren Churong saw the dishes she cooked, he smiled and said, "Ren Xiaoqi, you are cheating!" ”

Ren Xiaoyu put all his mind on serving the dishes, for fear that he would spill a little soup and waste his efforts, so he couldn't talk for the time being, until he put the plate firmly on the table, and then smiled: "Bold little Rong'er, don't be jealous of this official!" ”

She makes steamed fish. It's not easy to make this kind of dish into a high-quality dish, but it's even more difficult to make a mess, as long as the fish is cleaned up, put on the green onion and ginger to mix it with the sauce, whoever steam it out will look the same...... Xiaoyu is opportunistic, but from the appearance alone, it is very different from the 'rag', the fish is white and green, a few cherries are red, and it looks very beautiful.

Xiao Yu was triumphant, picked up the chopsticks again, and gave a pair to his sister ...... a pair of his own: "Taste it, you are blessed, you can eat such a delicious in the world" The county lord was a little hesitant, raised the chopsticks and did not move, she has seen a lot of steamed fish, but this one in front of her, she always feels as if something is wrong. Seeing that his sister's expression was different, Ren Xiaozhu frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The county lord shook his head: "It seems that there is something unpleasant to the eye, but I can't think of it for a while." ”

Ren Xiaozhu coughed, and waved the chopsticks in his hand with the posture of drawing a knife: "Where will there be something wrong, the fish is my choice, I personally fished it out of the water to dry, scraped the scales and washed it myself, and I cut the green onion and ginger myself......"

Speaking of this, Ren Churong finally suddenly realized, and suddenly thought of something wrong: "Ren Xiaoqi, after scraping the scales and washing, will you go to cut the green onion and ginger?" The latter nodded stunnedly, and the county lord's eyes had already smiled into crescents: "Is there any fish that Her Royal Highness the princess used to eat?" ”

Ren Churong had seen steamed fish and roasted fish before, all of them were broken, but this time he saw a steamed fish with a bulging belly that was so complete that it couldn't be complete, no wonder he felt unaccustomed to it.

Ren Xiaoyu sighed, dumbfounded, Ren Churong discussed with her in a whisper: "Or... Let's eat the rice, let's eat it instead? ”

"The two nobles cook in person, you don't have to worry about the kitchen for dinner today", this matter has spread all over the Hou Mansion, Ren Churong has no face to let the kitchen move now, but I don't know, the whole steamed fish, will it taste too fishy...... Ren Xiaoyu hesitated, she couldn't bear to be hungry since she was a child, but also because she was easy to get hungry, so she would be more and more greedy, and she would be satisfied if she could nibble on a steamed bun when she had no conditions, but she could put a good cook, a warehouse full of chickens and fish and eat 'rags', she was very unwilling.

When the two sisters were staring at each other, there was a knock on the door, and a familiar voice outside the door: "Qin Cone asks to see him, and he has something to report to the princess and the county lord." ”

The little catcher was fast, and before Ren Churong hid the dishes on the table, she had already opened the door, fortunately, Qin Cone would not look at it indiscriminately, and after entering the house, she said directly to the business: "The county lord of the front formation commanded, if the head of Ling Yun is the best, he must pass it on......"

Ren Xiaozhuo's eyes lit up: "Tang Di... Ling, Ling Nuantang is here? ”

Qin Cone nodded in response: "Exactly, not long after entering the Fengyi, he is coming towards Yanziping. ”

The Ling family wants to open a branch in Yanziping, presided over by Ling Nuantang, a flute master, for the women of Yanziping, this is an inconspicuous small business, but it is a big gossip, and now the hostess of this gossip has finally appeared, Ren Churong reveals glory from the inside out: "Please Ling everyone to the Hou Mansion to talk about it." ”

Ren Xiaozhu laughed even more: "I'll call Shi Xiaoxiao," After speaking, he pulled his feet and left, Ren Churong hurriedly stopped his sister, shook his head and said, "It's not time yet, don't disturb the monk." ”

Ren Churong is curious, but it will not be indiscriminate, the Ling family is suspicious to open a store in the town, she recruited Ling Nuantang to come to the Hou Mansion to meet first, of course, there is a desire to see what the person who destroyed Shi Xiaoxiao's Buddha heart with only six words is like, but there is also a sense of temptation.

Ren Xiaozhu spoke well, and her sister didn't let her call the monk, so she didn't shout, and sat down honestly, while the county lord was calm and steady, and passed another order without a trace, and said to the servants waiting outside: "There are guests coming to the door, only two dishes are not enough, tell the kitchen to prepare the dishes, the sooner the better." ”

The order was passed on, and the princess and the county lord exhaled a long breath at the same time, and Ling Nuantang came to save people from fire and water... Today's dinner has finally been found.
