Chapter 51: The Secret
When the patrol officer asked, the apprentice of the medical hall was so nervous that his forehead was sweating, and he didn't think something was right.
However, Jiang Mubai was not in the mood to meddle in things, and after accepting the medicine bag, he didn't ask much, stuffed a few pieces of change into Zhang Chiyuan, who was carrying a large bag, and took Jiang Huiyin home in the car.
I thought I'd wash up and rest when I got home, but when I got to the door, I saw uninvited visitors.
The man turned his back to the street, squatting by the door and smiling at the head of the dog with Wangcai, while chatting with Uncle Wu, who was walking the dog.
Just looking at a back, Jiang Mubai also knew who was coming.
Wearing a green and a crane and a crane, who else can be dressed like this?
Uncle Wu saw Jiang Mubai get out of the car, waved his hand and greeted warmly: "Little Jiang, come back, your friend is waiting for you." ”
Xu Qiansuan turned around, opened the packaging bag in his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, I brought you a specialty of Changming County, cured dog meat, which is very fragrant!" ”
"Uh, you talk." Uncle Wu couldn't laugh anymore, and led Wangcai Laifu to the other end of the street, and his pace was much faster than his usual walk.
Jiang Mubai couldn't help laughing, pushed open the door, and said, "Come in and say, when will you return to Dingwu?" Is the old man in good health? ”
"I just came back, it's all good, oops, I haven't eaten tonight, Brother Jiang, do you have anything to eat at home?" Xu Qiansuan showed a sly smile, "I remember Sister Ling said that Liuweiju's red soup chicken noodles are not as good as the noodles you cook." ”
No wonder this guy deliberately inquired about the residence and came to the door to guard, it turned out that he wanted to eat and drink.
It just so happened that Jiang Mubai had a lot of doubts in his heart, and he exchanged a bowl of noodles for a few answers, which was a very cost-effective deal.
"There are handmade noodles in the kitchen, but the stock has to be freshly cooked, can you wait?"
"It's a hassle to make soup, isn't it? Oops, that's embarrassing. ”
The expression on Xu Qiansuan's face was very interesting, which reminded Jiang Mubai of those children who said no after seeing the red envelope during the Chinese New Year, and kept holding it in their hands.
Jiang Mubai waved his hand and said politely: "It's not troublesome, you sit down first, I'll go make a fire, and I'll ask you something later." ”
"There's Brother Lao Jiang." Xu Qiansuan smiled, and arched his hand, "Xu knows everything, and he has endless words. ”
Seeing that Jiang Huiyin was also sitting at the dining table, Jiang Mubai pointed to her schoolbag and said, "Huiyin, go to the house to do your homework." ”
Jiang Huiyin, who was waiting to eat noodles, sighed, walked to the wall and picked up the schoolbag aggrievedly.
"Wait, Brother Jiang, don't be in a hurry with your homework, let Sister Ling accept the gift I brought to her first. This is protein powder, this is calcium tablets, this is vitamins, this is dried fruit, this is ......" Xu Qiansuan took out bottles and cans from the packaging bag, and finally took out the gift box in English packaging, and asked, "Little sister, have you ever eaten chocolate?" ”
"I've eaten it, my brother bought it in a department store." Jiang Huiyin thought of the taste of chocolate candy and couldn't help but purse her lips and swallow her saliva.
Xu Qiansuan handed out the gift box: "This is the Bendix chocolate gift box I bought in Ginza Mall, look, the origin is the fourth region, and I crossed the ocean to Huaizhou." Come, take it. ”
Jiang Huiyin was well-behaved and sensible, she looked at Jiang Mubai before reaching out, and saw her brother nodding before taking the chocolate gift box.
"Thank you, Brother Xu!"
"No thanks, you're welcome, go do your homework." Xu Qiansuan responded with a smile, turned his head and said to Jiang Mubai, "It's a pity that I chose a gift, but I didn't catch up with your apprenticeship banquet." ”
"Brother Xu has a heart."
Jiang Mubai thanked him, rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen, lighting a fire to boil water.
Remove the chicken thigh bones and pork stick bones and wash them, put them in the pot, spread the ginger slices and green onions to remove the fishy, add half a bowl of shrimp skin to increase the freshness, skim off the foam after the water boils, cover the pot and boil for half an hour to boil out a pot of broth.
Taking advantage of the time to boil the soup, Jiang Mubai tore the chicken thigh meat into shredded chicken and steamed it, mixed it with shredded cucumbers, shredded carrots and shredded potatoes to form cold dishes, and the meat removed from the stick bones was stir-fried with chicken powder, refined salt, green peppers, and bean paste, and then cooked handmade noodles with water, and drained and put them in a bowl.
Finally, the broth is removed from the pot and poured into a bowl, and after the soup has passed through the noodles, the fried pork with green peppers is directly covered with the noodle soup to taste.
Jiang Mubai walked out of the kitchen, put down the porcelain bowl and porcelain plate, the bowl was filled with soup noodles, and there were three silks of vegetarian chicken thigh meat on the plate, one hot and one cold, which was appetizing.
"Eat it hot, if you leave it for a long time, the taste of the noodles and soup will deteriorate."
"Okay, haha, thank you for your hospitality."
Xu Qiansuan put aside his reserved and elegant, holding a spoon in his left hand, chopsticks in his right hand, and opening a bow left and right.
Jiang Mubai asked with a smile, "How is it?" ”
"Although there are no three animals and five tripods, it can also be called eight treasures and jade food!" Xu Qiansuan ate happily and praised it very happily, and after putting down the porcelain bowl, he closed his eyes and reminisced for a moment, and praised, "Delicious, delicious!" At this moment, I just want to write a poem for this bowl of noodle soup. ”
Jiang Mubai was worried that he would be sour to death by this guy's Wenqing breath, so he hurriedly said: "I'll come first, look at this noodle, it's long and wide, just like this bowl, it's big and round, cough cough." ”
"Brother Jiang......"
"Huh?"
"Don't write poetry again, okay?"
"Okay."
Jiang Mubai forcibly held back a smile and said, "Today I was interrogated by the patrol police when I was prescribing medicine in the Zhengqi Hall, and I overheard a patrol officer say that there were rebels who fled to Dingwu from other places. ”
Xu Qiansuan's interest in reciting poetry was swept away, and he sighed depressedly: "I also heard that there are wanted lists on the streets and alleys. ”
Seeing Jiang Mubai staring at him silently, Xu Qiansuan quickly understood and explained: "The people refer to all the armed forces against the federal government as the rebels, and as far as I know, many of the so-called rebels are actually deserters and fugitives, but they were borrowed by the secret police to invite merit, so they were installed in the name of the rebels. ”
Jiang Mubai sighed and asked, "What about the real rebels?" ”
Xu Qiansuan pondered for a moment and replied: "Most of the rebels operate between the Third Domain's anti-demon front and the Demon Domain, some of them are Federation rebels, and there are several powerful rebels with mysterious origins, and it is said that the Federation existed before its establishment. ”
Jiang Mubai frowned: "The main mansion has not been established, where is the government army anyway?" ”
"Well, I heard from an old professor of history at Tianjing University that the most powerful rebels have established their own kingdom outside the Federation, but they are not recognized by the Federation like the Tiantang and Mormon Papal States."
Xu Qiansuan turned his chopsticks like a pen and said in a low voice: "As for the reason, it may be related to the first all-out war. ”
"The first all-out war? You mean World War III? Jiang Mubai learned about this vague history from books, and the war that swept the world was not just a struggle between human beings.
Xu Qiansuan nodded: "Yes, that old professor also called the first all-out war the third world war." ”
"What does this have to do with the Resistance?" Jiang Mubai was puzzled.
Xu Qiansuan suddenly got up, closed the window, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Jiang, have you ever thought about why the federation has not been unified in writing and language for nearly eighty years?" ”
