Chapter 270: Active Avoidance
It's just that he didn't go, and the main general who replaced him in Baihua Pass was Qin Lei, and then the fifth became a deputy general and a staff officer.
Whether it is him and Qin Lei, or Lao Wu and Qin Lei, they can all partner.
Lao Wu's skills are weaker, but he is also a think-tank figure in the military marquis mansion who has been familiar with military books since he was a child and has a deep plan.
At present, the truce is to give Lao Wu a chance to train on the spot, so he is not worried about anything.
And this time, the eldest brother will not participate in the military affairs of the army, Qin Zhan is responsible for the logistics, salary, grain and grass supply on both sides of Beiguan, Yangcheng and Baihuaguan.
Now that the fifth child is here, Qin Zhan is also here, are you idle?
It didn't take long for Qin Zhan and Yunxiao to arrive.
Yun Ji didn't come, Yun Wu quietly explained that Yun Ji stayed in Baihua Pass.
Lin Yanniang asked her little sister to inform her father and mother that there was a guest at home today.
Qin Zhan and the others will bring a leg of mutton when they come over, and there are also pork ribs, tube bones and pork belly that they bought at the meat case in Xiaxi Village yesterday.
There are still some green vegetables at home, plus the dried vegetables sent by the Yun family, and then kill another chicken, and it will be almost the same.
Therefore, Lin Yanniang is not afraid that the guests will not have enough food to eat, so the man can say this kind of thing to his brother.
While he was talking here, the sound of horses' hooves came from outside again, Lin Jie immediately ran to look outside, and said with a smile: "It's Third Brother Qin and Brother Yunxiao who are here!" ”
This time, there were only two people, with a basket on horseback, and Qin Zhan shouted with a smile before he got off the horse.
"Third Brother Yun! Three sisters-in-law! Hello! It's been a long time since I miss you guys! ”
The last time the Yun family brothers came over, Qin Zhan didn't come, speaking of which, it was still summer when Qin Zhan came back, and it was winter, and it was indeed a long time since I saw him.
Who knew that Yun Jingning only cared about the dishes they brought.
"This leg of lamb is good, but it will take a long time to roast, where to roast it? You don't want to put a fire on my new yard, do you? ”
"Yo, this is half a sheep, it can be eaten for a few days."
"......" Qin Zhan got off the horse, rolled his eyes speechlessly, ignored this chattering person, and ran to talk to Lin Yanniang.
His eyes looked at Lin Yanniang's abdomen, which had bulged significantly, and he smiled in surprise.
"Third Brother Yun said that you are pregnant, and I laughed at him, but I didn't expect that I hadn't seen him for a few months, so I was about to give birth, right? It's not going to be born, is it? It's a cold day......"
Qin Zhan kept talking, not caring at all that Lin Yanniang didn't respond to his question.
"......" Lin Yanniang looked at Qin Zhan speechlessly, crying and laughing.
She remembers that when the man came home, he was also excited that the child was about to be born, but her belly was not obvious at all.
Now...... It's no wonder that Qin Zhan has the idea of "being born soon".
After a few words of laughter, everyone really brought firewood over and planned to light a fire in the yard.
Although it is a new yard, the weather is good at this time, it seems that there is no rain, and the wide eaves are wind-blocking, which is more suitable for starting a fire than the yard on the Lin family's side.
Obviously, these few people who have long been accustomed to living in the wild are very easy to make a fire.
Yun Jingning asked everyone to do it themselves, and he, Qin Zhan and Yun Xiao, moved the basket to the Lin family's kitchen and processed the ingredients first.
Yun Wu and Yun Liu also followed, and officially met Lin Ping'an and Lin Song, and then Lin Yanniang was told by Yun Jingning to hurry up and make a few dishes.
Lin Yanniang also guessed that their brothers would have something to say, and she knew some inside information, so she took the initiative to avoid it.
Lin Can and Lin Jie were also called by her to help in the kitchen.
Because after the cold weather, cooking and laundry on weekdays, those who can use warm water use warm water, and what can't be used is that the father and the brothers help to share the burden, and don't let the mother go to the cold water.
And Lin Xue is responsible for watching the fire under the stove, and calling them over when they want to add fire, so that there is no need to arrange a person to sit under the stove, the stove is still warm, and Lin Xue does not have to freeze when she sits there.
This arrangement is also to leave space for men to talk about business, and their own family members don't know about it, they are just busy cooking Chinese food.
With the accompanying guards, this is a large table of people to eat.
It just so happened that the hunters didn't go up the mountain today, and Lin Yanniang wondered if she would call everyone to come over and drink together in the end.
After all, Qin Zhan also came, he came all the way from the entrance of the village, and many people in the village had seen it, so someone should come over soon.
Therefore, she knows how important this moment of tranquility is to their brothers.
About half an hour later, sure enough, the yard was lively, and the hunters came one after another, some holding the little baby, and some running over by themselves.
Lin Erniu brought his son over, and his daughter-in-law Lin Yue also came over, and went directly to the kitchen to help, and he was also considerate of the difficulties here.
Lin Song and Lin Yanniang didn't be polite to her when they saw her.
At this time, it was obviously no longer suitable to talk about business, so Lin Yanniang asked Lin Can and Lin Jie to send hot tea over.
In the teapot is the hot water freshly brewed with the tea leaves from the south, and the two brothers are carrying a pot and the other is holding a tea bowl.
After being busy, the brothers said that the leg of lamb over there was fragrant, and said that they would set the table over there today, and there was a fire in the yard, so it was not so cold to eat.
Lin Yanniang also divided the mutton into another pot and stewed it, so that there was roast lamb leg, mutton hot pot, and then some bean sprouts and cabbage.
The own meat is made into braised pork with braised bamboo shoots, stir-fried pork slices with dried chili, stir-fried meat foam with capers, spicy dried fish, chicken soup stewed with mushrooms and cordyceps, and poached egg and meatball soup stewed with longan and red dates and lilies.
Two soups plus a mutton hot pot, three bowls of meat dishes and a roast leg of lamb, and the dried fish can only be drunk.
There is also a plate of tofu brought by Lin Laoliu, which is directly fried tofu, and it can be eaten at night if you can't finish it.
Wang Wei came by himself, but then his cousin Wang Rui was instructed by the village chief to send a large bowl of urned sake lees, so Wang Rui naturally stayed.
Everyone sat or stood around the fire, talking and laughing, especially Qin Zhan was good at talking, and he was familiar with everyone, he hadn't seen him for a few months, so naturally there were endless words.
Fortunately, they were clever later, in addition to mutton and lamb legs, they also bought a lot of melon seeds and peanuts, in case of this situation.
Lin Yueshi wants to go home and get a few radishes to be shaved into shredded radish, so that it is convenient to add vegetables to the hot pot at that time.
Lin Song hurriedly took out a bag of pastries from the cupboard and quietly brought it back to her.
Lin Yue's clan was also interested, smiled and thanked him and hurried away.
The dishes were almost done, and Lin Yanniang was kicked out of the kitchen by Lin Song and asked her to rest.
Lin Yanniang went to the courtyard of the new house, and saw a lively yard, and people from the village came to see the excitement, looking at the big leg of lamb roasted on the fire, and they didn't want to leave.
It's just that after knocking melon seeds for a while, I saw that all the people present were hunters and people who had received hunts, and finally left with interest.
When the leg of mutton was roasted, everyone set the table, took the wine, and took the initiative to go to the kitchen to serve the dishes.
The remaining mutton bones were not too clean, so they were taken to the kitchen, and they were kept to boil the old bone broth and eat it in a hot pot.
