Chapter 118: Delicious Chicken Soup
Li Zheng Peng Wu is a farmer in his fifties, his body is quite tough, because of years of working in the fields, his skin has become copper-brown, and he was very surprised to see Bai Luo and several people visiting.
Bai Luo didn't hide it from him, and after entering the house to say a few words, he directly revealed the identity of his county order.
"Don't hide it from the old man," Bai Luo sat on a low thick wooden stool, holding the coarse porcelain tea bowl in his hand, and said with a smile to Lizheng: "Down is the county order of Anning County, Bai Luo." Come here this time......"
Before Bai Luo finished speaking, Peng Wu was already shocked that the water in the tea bowl in his hand was spilled, he stood up in a panic, put down the tea bowl and said in a panic: "It turned out to be Lord Qingtianbai, the little one is offended, offended." ”
After speaking, Na Peng Wu knelt down and kowtowed to Bai Luo regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one.
Bai Luo's reputation and prestige are in full swing in Anning County, and the people have almost reached the point of worshiping Bai Luo.
So when Peng Wuyi heard that the legendary Bai Luo suddenly came to his poor and remote mountain village, he was surprised and ecstatic, and kowtowing became the only way for him to express his reverence for Bai Luo.
Bai Luo, Jiang Xin and the others hurriedly got up and hurriedly helped them, and comforted them a little, and then everyone sat down again to talk.
However, Peng Wu no longer dared to sit on the thick wooden stool, and only sat on half of his buttocks, listening to Bai Luo's words with blazing eyes.
Peng Wu is so restrained and respectful, Bai Luo is helpless, the national style of the continent is like this, the status of the official court is supreme, the officials have long been accustomed to being high, and the people have accepted their low status.
Bai Luo had no choice but to continue to say gently: "I came here this time to see the situation in Shanhai Village, to see if there is any way to make the people richer and live a better life, so I showed my identity to the fifth master, just to discuss with you to see if you can find any way." ”
Peng Wuyi heard Bai Luo call himself the fifth master, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." But in my heart I was in ecstasy.
The people of Anning County know that no matter what happens, as long as Lord Bai is attentive, he will go all out without hesitation, and as long as Bai Luo intervenes, he will definitely do the best thing.
This is true for solving crimes, and it is also true for displaced people.
A lesson from the past, the thriving Baijia Village is in the west of Anning County, the homeless people who were disgusted by everyone at the beginning, Lord Bai allocated funds and grain to them, and now they are more prosperous than their five villages, and the people in several villages are very envious in their hearts.
Now Lord Bai has actually paid attention to Shanhai Village, which is a great thing.
While Peng Wu instructed his mother-in-law to cook, he carefully introduced the situation of Shanhai Village to Bai Luo and the others.
The people in Shanhai Village all make a living from farming, but the land in Shanhai Village is barren, and there is not much rice grain per acre of land after tending all year round.
Young and middle-aged people have no choice but to go to the county to work as coolies to make a living, and the rest of the village are old and weak women and children, who are increasingly unable to cultivate the land and cannot take care of the fields.
The output of rice grain is decreasing year by year, but the elderly are increasing year by year, large areas of land are barren and uncultivated, and the people in the village are getting poorer and poorer.
Today, every family relies on the labor of the county coolies to earn some money in the county to return home, and even so, every household in the village does not have enough to eat all year round.
After talking about the situation in Shanhai Village, Peng Wu's face showed a lonely look, and he sighed deeply melancholy.
The same is true of his own family, which is guarded by only the old couple for many years, and his three sons are all apprentices in the county, and they don't see each other a few times a year.
Zhu Qi has been listening quietly on the side, this village is barren, and there are all old and weak women and children, and the only scenic spot, Yungai Xianting, is also too remote and the road is not smooth, and there are few tourists.
He also saw what Bai Luo meant, he wanted to help the villagers of Shanhai Village, but in such a village where there was nothing and everything was lacking, Zhu Qi really couldn't think of where Bai Luo could start to make this village rich.
Zhu Qi secretly shook his head in his heart: Unless it is an immortal, this small village is really weak.
Autumn days are short, and the sky soon gets dark.
Peng's fifth daughter-in-law took several daughters-in-law in the village to pick up a table of meals and invite you to dinner.
When I got on the table, I saw that almost all the dishes on the table were vegetarian dishes, and there were even a few plates of wild vegetables and pickles, and the only meat dish was a large pot of chicken soup in the center of the table.
Peng Wu stood in the corner of the house, with an apologetic face, rubbing his hands together and saying uneasily: "The little one really didn't know that Lord Bai would come, and he didn't prepare in a hurry, but fortunately, there are a few chickens at home, and the taste of this chicken is quite delicious, please taste it." ”
After speaking, he hurriedly stepped forward with his daughter-in-law, personally served a bowl of chicken soup to each of the adults, and specially fished a big chicken leg for Bai Luo's bowl of chicken soup.
Bai Luo thanked him again and again, and gave in with the enthusiastic Peng Wuqian for a while before letting the stubborn Li Zheng enter the table, and she took her seat.
But it was not Lizheng's hospitality, Bai Luo had to pick up the bowl and take a sip of chicken soup, but this mouthful of chicken soup entered his mouth, and Bai Luo's eyes suddenly opened wide.
This, this is chicken soup?!
She has never drunk such delicious chicken soup in her two lives.
Bai Luo drank a few sips in succession, and unceremoniously picked up the chicken leg and ate a bite of meat, the meat was delicious, the entrance was polarized, the skin was thin and the bones were crispy, sweet and tender.
It is many times more delicious and tender than the most tender bullfrog meat she has eaten in modern times.
Bai Luo chewed carefully, and beckoned to everyone: "You all eat, taste the chicken soup, and then eat the chicken." ”
Zhu Qi looked at Bai Luo's eagerness to drink soup and eat meat, and when he was at the old man's house on the side of the road just now, his good impression of Bai Luo was swept away.
Li Zheng's family is already so poor, and the chicken at home must be very precious, but this Lord Bai doesn't seem to care at all, eating it so sweetly really makes him feel a sense of disgust in his heart.
Zhu Qi snorted in his nose, flicked his sleeves, and pushed away the chicken soup in front of him.
Bai Luo didn't notice Zhu Qi at all, and after watching everyone eat a few bites with anticipation, he asked, "What do you think of this soup?" ”
"Fresh! Too fresh! Jiang Xin praised.
"Absolutely! Amazing! Chai Hu boasted.
Han Cong ate the chicken soup and chicken in the bowl in one go, wiped the oil on his mouth, and nodded approvingly.
Jiang Xin's words made Bai Luo suddenly have an epiphany, no wonder she thought this chicken soup tasted so delicious, it turned out to be like this!
She is used to eating meals with chicken essence in modern times, and all the dishes of modern people, because of the chicken essence, even if they are fried no longer decent, they can also occupy the word "fresh".
However, in ancient times, there was no such condiment as chicken essence, and all the dishes were exquisite and delicious, but the only thing missing was the taste of "fresh".
No wonder as soon as she drank this chicken soup, she felt that the taste was a little familiar, and it was with what she was used to, but now she can't ask for it, a little "fresh" of chicken essence!
"And do the other chicken soups you eat taste like this?" Bai Luo asked again.
"No, I've eaten a lot of celebrity chef taverns, and this is the first time Zhu has drunk such delicious chicken soup." It was Zhu Qi who answered Bai Luo out loud.
It turned out that seeing everyone praising this bowl of chicken soup, Zhu Qi finally couldn't help but be curious, tasted it, and was shocked when he tasted it!
When Bai Luo heard this, she laughed heartily, her bright facial features shone in her smile, and she asked Li Zhengdao on the side: "Fifth Master, I don't know why this chicken soup is so delicious?" Is it because the chickens are special or the practices are special? ”
Li Zheng, who was smiling and looking at everyone eating so sweetly, saw Bai Luo asking and quickly got up, and replied respectfully: "Lord Hui, the method is a homely practice, there is nothing special, what is special is actually the chicken itself." ”
