Moreover, although the rat infestation in Liuzhou is a major event, it is enough for Wei Hong to go alone, and it will not help much if they go. It's like going to the battlefield to fight, and it is useless for civilians to get more, because the profession is not right. Later, after Wei Hong asked, I learned that they only learned about this decision last night. And it was the Lao Tzu of each family who made this decision. Wei Hong wondered very much, what were those powerful old things doing with their brains pushing their own sons on themselves? Although he was not very happy in his heart, since he had already come, Wei Hong had nothing to say. It's also true, if it weren't for the second generation of these officials, how could there be nearly a hundred soldiers to escort them, and it would be good to be able to assign ten or eight.

Wei Hong likes to ride horses, but it can only be regarded as a hobby, if he really wants Wei Hong to ride for ten days and eight days, Wei Hong can't stand it, and finally he and Fang Yizhi and Du He are crowded in the carriage, and the team begins to march towards Liuzhou City. Taking advantage of the free time in the past few days, Wei Hong simply taught Fang and Du some basic essentials of sketching in the carriage, and they practiced it by themselves. The rush was always boring, and after five days of walking, Wei Hong couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked the convoy to pause for half a day next to a stream. Because it was the right season, the fish in the creek were still very plump, and because they had eaten dry food along the way, a bird faded out of their mouths, so Wei Hong took Cheng Chumo and others to jump into the creek to catch fish. Fang and Du devoted themselves to sketching and did not participate in the fishing operation.

Wei Hong is good at eating fish, and catching fish is a layman, mainly relying on Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin. Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baolin held a sharpened wooden stick, holding their trouser legs and wandering in the stream, as long as they locked the target, they were up and down with a stick, with an accuracy rate of up to 10 percent, and they caught more than 20 big crucian carp in less than a while.

If there were only a few Wei Hong, more than 20 crucian carp would be enough to eat, but with the accompanying hundreds of soldiers, it would be overstretched. After a short period of thought, Wei Hong came up with a plan to divide the twenty or so crucian carp into two parts, Wei Hong and others kept ten, and handed over the rest to the accompanying cook, so that the cook could boil soup for the soldiers to satisfy their hunger. As for the ten fish of your own, you choose to grill them. Let Zhou Dali find some bamboo, split it into thin bamboo skewers, clean up the internal organs of the fish, and string them directly on the bamboo skewers.

Cheng Chumo said that he had also grilled fish when he was marching with Lao Cheng before, saying that he wanted to show his hands. When the fire starts, the fish is grilled directly on the fire. Seeing this, Wei Hong snatched the fish back from Cheng Chumo's hand, and scolded him for being tyrannical, if he roasted it like this, it would be mushy inside and outside.

Wei Hong pointed to these fish to open the meat, and did not let Cheng Chumo interfere again, and after the wood was burned through the fire, he put the sand on the wood to extinguish the fire, and then took out the charcoal. Dig a pit again, put the charcoal in it and light it, the charcoal is burned out of a dark fire, which is most suitable for barbecue. Then use a knife to cut a few holes in the body of the fish, and then put the fish on top of the charcoal and slowly roast, when it is almost done, sprinkle a thin layer of salt on it, and wait for the salt to melt and merge with the fish, and it is done.

Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin only ate pasty fish grilled over an open fire when they were marching, and there was no need to eat grilled fish when they had delicacies from the mountains and seas at home. After eating the fish grilled by Wei Hong's own hands, Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baolin were amazed, and while feasting, they regretted the previous method of grilling fish, which was completely tyrannical. Since there were only ten fish in total, each person could get two, Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baolin had a big appetite, and they ate and wiped off their two fish in a few bites, but they were still unsatisfied, so they paid attention to the remaining grilled fish.

Cheng Chumo swallowed and foamed, rubbing his hands and said: "Mr. Wei, Brother Fang and Brother Du are literati with small appetites, and they can't finish eating two fish for one person, why don't you give me another one?" ”

Yu Chi Baolin nodded again and again, saying that Wei Hong's distribution method was problematic, and it should not be distributed equally, but according to need. The two of them should each have three large appetites, and Fang Yizhi and Du He have small appetites, so one is enough. Wei Hong said that they were fallacious, and they were still not convinced, so they had to eat another one anyway. Helpless, Wei Hong had no choice but to ask Fang Yizhi and Du He, and after they agreed, he agreed to give Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin one more. There were two left, Wei Hong kept one for himself, called Zhou Dali, and gave Zhou Dali one.

Zhou Dali hadn't eaten anything good before, and since he followed Wei Hong, he hasn't eaten less good things. Zhou Dali gnawed on the fish and grinned: "Childe, compared with the fish you grilled, the fish in Dejulou can't be eaten!" ”

Wei Hong smiled: "Eat more and talk less." ”

Wei Hong eats carefully and slowly, so that the fragrance of the food spreads in the mouth and experiences the ultimate taste of the food. After eating half of a fish, Cheng Chumo ate all three fish, and he couldn't eat them, so he had to stare at Wei Hong, and Wei Hong looked awkward, so he had to give him the remaining half of the fish, so he was willing to give up.

After eating, everyone sat on the ground to digest the food, and when they had nothing to do, Wei Hong asked Cheng Chumo: "Chumo, why did your father let you go to Liuzhou with me?" Aren't you afraid that if something goes wrong with the rat infestation in Liuzhou, the plague will break out and leave your little life behind? ”

Cheng Chumo picked his teeth with a fish bone, smashed his mouth and said: "My father is not afraid, according to my father's words, I am dead, and my brother, if my brother dies again, he will have another one." And tell your brother how your brother died, and take it as a warning. Cheng Chumo said it very easily, and I don't know if he was joking, or if Lao Cheng was really so heartless, treating his own flesh and blood as grass mustard.

Yu Chi Baolin kicked Cheng Chumo and asked Cheng Chumo not to talk nonsense, and then said to Wei Hongyan: "The night before leaving, my father talked to me. I can detect some clues between the lines of my father's words, and my father seems to want us to be closer and closer. Another point is because since the rebellion in Fengzhou, our brothers have been wandering around the capital blindly, with nothing to do, and going to Liuzhou City to solve the rat infestation, the main thing is to show the saint, so that the saint knows that we are not idle and exaggerated, and we can do some serious things. The night before yesterday, we broke into the Wei Gong's Mansion at night, and the next day it was known to the whole court, and although most of the officials were afraid of our power in the court and did not dare to make a big fuss, the officials still put forward some opinions that were not listened to. This time we went to Liuzhou, and we were also avoiding the limelight. ”
