Chapter 239: Preparing for the Banquet

In the simple wooden house, Zhang Mengjie saw that there was a steamer for steaming rice and some dry firewood. There are also green vegetables, radish, potatoes, onions, and peppers, which can basically be stored for a long time, so these dishes do not look very fresh, and it is impossible for Mincheng to find these dishes, which shows that these dishes are not easy to come by.

In addition to these, there is also fresh meat and bacon. There are also a few live chickens, live ducks and geese. Thinking of the fresh fish in Ligu Town, how can this kind of day be said without fish, Zhang Mengjie thought of this and immediately went out of the cabin to explain to a soldier of the Royal Forest Army, and the soldier found a few other soldiers and went somewhere.

An hour later, the floor of the basin was full of tables, the stove was set up, and the chickens, ducks and geese in the hut were all taken care of. A few soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army who had just gone to nowhere also came back, bringing back a lot of fish, and looking at the lively appearance, they must have just been caught, and I don't know where they got them.

There are more than a dozen stoves steaming rice, and the remaining two stoves Zhang Mengjie and Wang are busy.

When he came to the basin, Wang has been following Zhang Mengjie, Chen Xingyu, Ma Xiaohu and Ma Xiaoyu and they don't know where to play.

At the beginning, the Wang family and the cook couldn't believe that Zhang Mengjie could cook, but seeing that the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army did not stop them, of course they didn't dare to say anything.

Of course, how much the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army want to eat Zhang Mengjie's cooking, if Long Tingxiao knew that he would never let Zhang Mengjie cook, this time Long Tingxiao didn't stop him, how could they stop it, it's too late to be happy!

Vegetables burn quickly, so Zhang Mengjie roasted chickens, ducks and geese first. With so many people, just a few chickens, ducks and geese, of course, it is impossible to stew them. So Zhang Mengjie asked the cook to chop them into pieces and bring them to braised them.

The aroma of chicken that had been cooked and placed on the table wafted out of the stove made people's mouths water, especially the people of Mincheng who had already come here. Of course, they didn't dare to move their chopsticks even if they wanted to eat, so they could only sit there and watch the dishes that made them drool.

Some people are still quite smart, so they simply chatted so that they were not attracted by the dishes on the table.

After arranging everything, Long Tingxiao, who was watching Zhang Mengjie cooking not far from the stove, attracted his attention with the words of the Imperial Forest Army soldier who was handling fish on the side.

"I really didn't lie to you, I just walked to the water's edge when I saw the water floating out of the mist, and I could feel the heat of the water when I stood at the water's edge, and the lake was really hot."

"Blow you, we've all caught such fish. That's all you caught. Must be lazy, right? ”

"That's, that's it, are you lazy and asleep, dreaming of such a lake in your dream?"

"It's true. If you weren't in a hurry to come back. I'm sure I'll show you. Otherwise, if you can, I'll take you around later. I know if I've lied to you. ”

If Zhang Mengjie heard their conversation, she must have known that the hot lake water in the soldier's mouth was a hot spring.

The other soldiers didn't believe it, but Long Tingxiao believed it, and became interested, and immediately walked up to the Royal Forest Army soldier and said, "Really? Do you really come across a lake like that? ”

"Of course it's true, why don't you believe what I say?" No one believed what he said, and the Imperial Forest Army soldier was a little anxious, and he didn't notice that it was Long Tingxiao who asked him just now. When he noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere around him, he looked up and saw Long Tingxiao who was close at hand, and was startled.

"Emperor, Emperor, Emperor, Lord, Lord!" Although Long Tingxiao often ate and drank with them during this time, and did not put on a stand for the Son of Heaven, who really dared not to look at him as the Son of Heaven.

"Tell me, where is the lake?" Long Tingxiao didn't notice that he was so close to the soldiers, which scared people. Instead, I was anxious to know where the hot spring was.

"Just, just, that, over there." The Imperial Guards pointed to his right.

"Where is that?" Long Tingxiao followed the direction of his finger and saw only a mountain forest.

"That's it, that's it, that's it. From, from, from here, go by, look, see bamboo, bamboo, go, go, go there, look again, see, see, no, no, yes, there is a fork in the road, go to the right, go, walk for a while, you can see that, that lake. ”

The soldiers of the Royal Forest Army finally explained the location of the hot springs, but Long Tingxiao didn't understand where he said at all, so he simply pulled up the soldiers and said, "Let's go, you take your master to have a look."

Xingjishan happened to have something to look for Long Tingxiao, and when he first saw him coming, he saw Long Tingxiao pulling a Royal Forest Army soldier away, and he didn't have time to shout. So I had to ask Zhang Mengjie for help.

"Madame!"

"Something?" Zhang Mengjie, who was sweating profusely, asked without having time to raise his head.

"Why did the envoy entertain the people of Mincheng this time, Madame must know, but the people of Mincheng don't know. The identity of the envoy, coupled with the fact that the envoy was so seriously injured in order to save an ordinary child, who doesn't want to take this opportunity to look up to the envoy? This ranking, whether it is the order of the first to come or the first to arrive, is not fair to the people, I don't know what Mrs. thinks about this matter? "Xingji Mountain Road.

"It seems that the affairs here are all arranged by the righteous brother, you might as well go to the righteous brother to discuss." Zhang Mengjie is not good at this kind of thing, but Xiao Chengyi, as the lord of Yuncheng, is definitely good at it, so Zhang Mengjie pushed the matter to Xiao Chengyi without thinking about it.

Xing Jishan wanted to say something, but seeing that Zhang Mengjie, who was busy, he still walked away silently.

Feeling that there were more and more people, but the stove was obviously not enough, Zhang Mengjie, who had been thinking about how to cook the right amount of dishes in the fastest time, didn't notice that Xing Jishan just glanced at Xiao Chengyi who was with Yu Xilang and Yu Xiyao, and didn't ask Xiao Chengyi at all.

Xingjishan's actions did not escape the sharp-eyed Xiao Chengyi and Yu Xiyao, Yu Xiyao nodded to Xiao Chengyi, and Xiao Chengyi automatically came to Xingjishan's side.

"Master Xing, but you have something to find Xiao?"

"Jishan has something I want to ask City Lord Xiao for help." For such a long time, Xing Jishan certainly knew Xiao Chengyi's identity.

"What?" Xiao Chengyi said.

Xing Jishan told Xiao Chengyi again about the problem he had just told Zhang Mengjie.

Xiao Chengyi said without a trace of hesitation: "This can't be done, doesn't every village have a lieutenant?" You let the chief sit together, how to arrange this position doesn't need Xiao to say, right? You can let the other people arrange their own arrangements, whether they want to sit with the people in their own village, or with relatives and acquaintances, then there is nothing fair or unfair. ”

Xing Jishan listened to Xiao Chengyi's words and swept away his previous distress and said, "Thank you City Lord Xiao for your advice."

Xiao Chengyi said: "Xiao is now the people of Dragon City. However, there is one thing, Xiao really wants to mention the punishment master. ”

"What's the matter?" (To be continued.) )
