In October, it was late autumn, and people's clothes began to thicken.

In the morning, people have even begun to feel a chill, and on an official road outside Yanjing City, a team is marching east in the morning light. The morning air is extremely fresh, the roadside grass is covered with dew, and at the end of autumn, the branches and leaves of many trees begin to wither down, and the green onions begin to prepare for the coming winter days.

The procession did not look special, three carriages were connected in a line, and the carriage was followed by more than thirty attendants, all wearing hats, wearing blue clothes, accompanied by long knives at their waists, all riding horses.

It is not uncommon for many such convoys to come and go in and out of the capital every day.

Han Mo sat in the first carriage, Xiao Qian snuggled up to him, he held his wife in one hand, and the military book given by Xiao Huaiyu in the other, understanding word by word.

When Han Mo returned to Beijing, he promised to take his wife out to breathe, seeing that the weather was getting colder, he also knew that it was inconvenient to delay it any longer, if he waited until the autumn leaves fell, the outside scenery would lose a lot of vitality.

Just like going out to play, Han Mo thought about it again and again, and finally decided to lead his wife to Hutu Mountain Villa, which is nearly a hundred miles east of Yanjing City, to take a turn and breathe.

Hutu Mountain Villa sounds majestic, but it is actually just a small village, and it is famous only because there is a Hutu Spring there.

Hutu Spring is a hot spring.

Soaking in hot springs is naturally a kind of enjoyment, and hot springs are very good for people's bodies, and the most important thing is that the environment there is very quiet and the air is very good.

Naturally, not everyone can enter Hutu Mountain Villa, but Han Mo has this qualification.

Han Mo wanted to take Xiao Qian there, and naturally thought of the red sleeves who were still recuperating from their injuries, if the red sleeves could take a soak in the hot spring, it must also be very effective for the recovery of the body, at least it could increase blood circulation and speed up the recovery of red sleeves.

Xiao Qian and Red Sleeves went to the two of them, naturally Han Qin was indispensable, and the house knew that Mrs. Han had called Han Mo, so that Han Mo also took Aunt Bi out to breathe.

Aunt Bi has a serious illness, although she escaped death, but her body is always damaged, Mrs. Han wants Aunt Bi to breathe, which is good for the body, Han Mo is naturally happy, Aunt Bi is healthy, and it is also the thing he is most willing to see, so he immediately agreed, and even went to say to Aunt Bi in person.

Since Aunt Bi married Han Xuanchang, she has been in the house and almost never goes out, but this time she wanted to go out to play, she was a little surprised, and she didn't agree at first.

Han Mo had the intention of taking Aunt Bi out to breathe, but Aunt Bi refused, so he naturally did not give up, and asked his mother to persuade him, and then Xiaoqian Han Qin took turns to fight, and finally persuaded Aunt Bi to go out together to breathe.

In addition to the carriage of Han Mo and his wife, the two carriages in the back, one with red sleeves in it, and the other is Aunt Bi's mother and daughter.

……

Starting from early in the morning, there was no stop along the way, the red sleeves did not heal from his injury, and he did not dare to drive too fast, and at dusk, he arrived at Hutu Villa.

Hutu Mountain Villa is naturally built on the mountain, this mountain is called Hutu Mountain, but it is not tall, it is actually a very small stone mountain, surrounded by grass and trees, although there are several villages around Hutu Mountain, but the nearest village, there are also more than ten miles.

In other words, the income obtained by Hutu Villa needs to be paid to the household, so from a certain point of view, Hutu Villa is an industry under the jurisdiction of the household.

Hutu Villa is also managed by the people of the household department.

Generally speaking, the Hutu Mountain Villa receives at least six officials at the level of the director, and if they can't reach this level, no matter how much money they have, they are not eligible to enter and enjoy it.

Han Mo led his family to Hutu Mountain Villa to soak in the hot springs, and he sent someone to inform him in advance, and Hutu Mountain Resort was naturally ready for a long time.

When the team reached the foot of the mountain, someone had already come to greet them, and the group went up the mountain along the bluestone stairs and entered the villa.

This is not a very large manor, and it is elegantly furnished, with only a dozen houses scattered around, but it is enough to settle a group.

Settle the people, and the guards are guards outside their homes.

There are a lot of guards in this Hutu Villa, and those who come here on weekdays are all members of Beijing who come to relax occasionally, and they are very thoughtful in the matter of guarding.

It was already night, and the villa was about to prepare meals, but Han Mo ordered that the villa only prepare the guards' meals.

When Xiao Qian heard it, she immediately became anxious, and said repeatedly: "Xianggong, why don't you prepare our meal?" Do you want to starve us? People are already hungry. ”

Han Mo said with a smile: "The food they prepared is nothing more than the same as in the house, nothing special, since they have come out, we naturally have to eat something good." ”

Xiao Qian's big eyes suddenly blinked again and again, and she said happily: "What does Xianggong want us to eat?" ”

"We'll find out later!" Han Mo pretended to be mysterious.

Han Mo gathered a few female dependents and led a few people to a courtyard, which was very quiet and no one disturbed him, but there were some very strange things prepared in this courtyard.

In the middle of the courtyard, there was a very strange thing, completely made of iron, with four legs crossed below, and a long iron box on top, which was extremely long, and what made everyone strange was that in the iron box, there was a very strong charcoal fire.

Han Qin was the first to go up, put his little hand on it, and immediately felt a burst of heat, hurriedly withdrew his hand, and turned back and said, "Brother, is this a charcoal stove?" How is it so strange? ”

Xiao Qian also stepped forward, looked up and down, and said suspiciously: "Xianggong, didn't you let us bake a fire here to keep warm?" ”

Han Mo stepped forward with his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "This is a good thing, our food tonight depends on it." ”

Aunt Bi also came to the side and took a look, but she saw that there were a lot of small porcelain jars next to the iron shelf, she took a closer look, and among those small porcelain jars, there were ingredients such as oil and salt, and she was also curious: "Mo'er, are you really cooking here?" But...... Is it here? ”

Han Mo smiled, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Don't worry, watch me cook for you." He shouted, "Bring everything up!" ”

Soon, several guards came in from outside, one by one carrying copper plates, but in the copper plates, there were all kinds of food, including vegetable rolls, mutton, pork, small fish, dried tofu, meatballs, and even steamed bread slices.......

What makes everyone strange is that these foods are strung together with needle-shaped iron needles, and the dishes in several large pots are still raw at this time.

Red Sleeves stepped forward to pick up a skewer with steamed bread slices, looked puzzled, and said for a long time: "This ...... Can you eat it? ”

Han Mo laughed and said, "You are all used to staying in the mansion, you don't know these things, our ancestors will meet very early." He picked up a bunch of mutton, put it on the barbecue grill, picked up a small brush, whistled, and under the extremely curious gaze of the people, he leisurely dipped the brush in various ingredients and applied it to the skewer.

"It's a barbecue." Han Mo said leisurely: "I have long wanted to lead you to taste it." You watch first, and then learn from me, this is our feast tonight! ”

He is skillful, if he changes his clothes, wears a small hat, and shouts a few times in that Xinjiang language, "Selling mutton skewers", it is really quite the style of a barbecue master.

After only a while, the mutton skewers on the stove had overflowed with meat oil, and the rich aroma of mutton had begun to diffuse, burrowing into the noses of several female dependents.

Including Aunt Bi, they all stared at the mutton skewer without blinking.

"That's it!" Han Mo picked up the mutton skewers, leaned close to his nose and sniffed them, and said beautifully: "It's done, have you learned everything?" It's actually very simple, you just need to follow my example later, and you can bake delicious food. ”

He glanced at a few female dependents and said, "My aunt is the biggest, and I want to invite my aunt to taste this first lamb skewer!" He grinned and sincerely presented the lamb skewers.

Aunt Bi didn't take it immediately, but just looked at the lamb skewers presented by General Han with some embarrassment.

"Brother, what's the black dot on it?" Han Qin frowned, pointed to the mutton skewers and asked.

Han Mo looked at it and said, "Oh, a little bit of charcoal ash, it's okay, it's okay, it's not clean, it's not sick." Grilling meat on a charcoal stove will never be as clean as in the house. It's called going back to nature, with a little bit of charcoal ash and more natural flavor. ”

"Xianggong, how is that piece of meat burnt?"

"Oh, that's normal. Barbecue barbecue, it's all like this, don't look at the outside of the barbecue, it's fresh and tender inside, it's delicious. General Han hurriedly explained.

"Brother......!" This time it was the red-sleeved girl who raised the question, "The bottom piece seems to be ...... Not cooked yet! ”

"Uncooked?" General Han glanced at it, "How is that possible?" Not...... It's not undercooked, didn't your sister-in-law say that it was burnt? Actually, I did it on purpose. You see, how tender it is, and you don't like burnt meat, you can eat the following slice. You don't understand, barbecue is like this, although it doesn't look very good, but it must be delicious. He looked at Aunt Bi and said sincerely: "Auntie, you taste it!" ”

"Mo'er......!" Aunt Bi looked at General Han's "masterpiece" and smiled reluctantly: "I'...... I'm not hungry yet......! ”

"Oh?" General Han said, "How so? I haven't eaten all afternoon. Hmm, Xiao Qian, come and taste ......! ”

"Xianggong, I don't like to eat meat very much lately." Xiao Qian covered her mouth, "Maybe the child in the belly likes to be a vegetarian." ”

"That's right." General Han took the meat skewer and handed it to Red Sleeves, "Sister paper, you can taste it...... Hey, don't go, be careful of the injury. Little sister, you ...... Not......! ”

General Han was a little frustrated, holding the meat skewer in his hand, several female dependents didn't seem to give face, no one wanted to taste this first bite, he squinted and glanced at the guard next to him, coughed, and handed it over, "Come, taste it!" ”

The guard looked at the scorched meat skewers one by one, and the admiration for General Han in his heart was like a surging river, what kind of person can grill a meat skewer into two parts? Only General Han also!

The guard hesitated, and when he saw that General Han's expression began to be unpleasant, he didn't dare to resist, so he hurriedly took it, and thought to himself: "In order to protect the general, I am not even afraid of death, and I am afraid of eating a bunch of mutton!" "Pluck up the courage and eat a bunch of lamb in three or two bites.

Han Mo was overjoyed when he saw this, and pointed to the guards and said to the women: "Look, I said it was delicious, right?" It's just not pretty, you look at him, he eats it so quickly, it must be delicious. ”

He looked at the guards with a smile and asked, "How is it, is it delicious?" Tell me how you feel. ”

The guard was about to say something against his will, but the young lady Xiao Qian over there had already said fiercely: "Don't lie, if you lie, drag it down and beat the stick." To tell the truth, no one will dare to punish you! ”

The guard looked at the general's wife, and then at General Han with an eager face, hesitated in his heart, and finally defeated hypocrisy sincerely, gritted his teeth and said: "General, I'm sorry, I have only one impression after eating the general's meat skewers!" ”

"What?"

"Kill the salt seller!"

"Come on, drag it down, twenty military sticks!" General Han roared.
