In the woods in the distance, Xu Gongcheng and Hou Guiqiang, who were wearing hunting suits, strode back with shotguns on their backs and a few prey in their hands.

Several people couldn't help but be curious, got up and looked, Yu Yang and Yu Xu, the two brothers, couldn't hold back their excitement and greeted them.

Zhou Bei remained silent, poured a bush of dead branches with gasoline, and then lit it with a diesel lighter.

It was still raining this morning, and the dead branches were a little damp, and there was a lot of smoke coming out of the landing.

Qian Kun looked at the returning few people while pouring the water from the crockpot into the cauldron. "There are still prey in the mountains and forests here, which is rare today."

Zhou Bei scrubbed the iron pot with a brush and said with a smile: "In addition to grizzly bears and wild wolves, there are no large carnivores in the Northern Continent, and there are many small animals. When it comes to the autumn and winter hunting season, it is more interesting to hunt bears. ”

Xu Gongcheng and the others approached, threw two hares and three pheasants on the ground, and a living hedgehog was asked by Yu Xu, tied it with grass stalks, and let it run around without a head or brain.

Yu Youwei was also very interested and teased the hedgehog with her younger brother.

Xu Gongcheng came to the stove and carefully took out a dozen wild eggs. "This time there was a big flood, and the animals migrated, and we ran for more than ten miles to find these living creatures."

"It's good to eat enough, I still have a lot of steamed buns and buns in my car, you go and get them."

Xu Gongcheng jumped down from the dirt slope and snatched the brush from Zhou Bei's hand. "I'll come, you go get it."

"Okay, you clean up first, I'll stir-fry after a while."

Hou Guiqiang poured out a bag he was carrying, which contained all kinds of wild vegetables, pine mushrooms, and shiitake mushrooms. "Your fried food is delicious, and the rice made by this kid is like pig food."

Qian Kun saw that he couldn't help, so he squatted over to clean up the wild vegetables. "You often have picnics together?"

Hou Guiqiang didn't reply, and Zhou Bei introduced: "This is Zhu Liqing, the third prince of Tang Wangfu, and this Mr. Qian is a member of Tang Wangfu." ”

Hou Guiqiang hugged his fists and said: "I've seen the third prince and Mr. Qian." In Xiahou Guiqiang, he is friends with Xu Entourage. ”

After saying that, he also squatted down and began to choose vegetables.

Zhou Bei had the best relationship with Xu Gong, and Hou Guiqiang had a close relationship with Xu Gong, so he met Zhou Bei.

Xu Gongcheng also became Zhou Bei's entourage because of Xu Gong's relationship.

However, to the outside world, no one knew about his relationship with Xu Gongcheng, and everything was blamed on Xu Gongcheng.

Qian Kun didn't care, and talked with a smile. "Where did Hou Zhuangshi join the army in the first place? Both of you are capable of acting, unlike ordinary soldiers. ”

Zhou Bei took a little water from the iron pot to wash his hands, and said with a smile: "You guys clean up first, I'll go to the car to get something." ”

Yu Youwei originally wanted to follow, but after looking at Zhu Liqing, she squatted down again and teased the little hedgehog.

Hou Guiqiang is cheating on the outside and inside on the inside, Xu Gongcheng is silent, he knows what to say and what not to say, Zhou Bei is not afraid that they will be cheated.

When he brought the staple food from the car, a few people had already said a word to you, and I started chatting freely.

But all the fun things we talked about hunting, Yu Youwei was there, and I didn't even talk about Fengyue.

There were many people to do things, and in a short time the three pheasants were plucked and dismantled, the hares were skinned, and the wild vegetables were all cleaned up.

Zhou Bei put a small pheasant out of the water in the iron pot first, and then threw it into the crockpot, Dongzhou ginseng, red dates, dried bamboo shoots, and dried shiitake mushrooms together, and began to cook the soup.

At this time, the sun has set in the west, and the temperature in the mountains has dropped quickly and is extremely cool.

Several people sat opposite each other, and under the intentional guidance of Qian Kun, you said a word, and I chatted a word.

Zhou Bei has been paying attention to the rhythm, and whenever he wants to talk to him, he will go to the past.

When night fell, Zhu Lihua took Zhu Qian, accompanied by a group of officials, and also came over.

Their arrival made the campsite seem small and overcrowded.

Seeing the processed pheasants, hares, and soaked dried shiitake mushrooms, fresh pine mushrooms, and shiitake mushrooms, Julia decided to have dinner here.

After some arrangement, a few officials were left behind, escorts to accompany them, and the others went back to the camp to eat, which was really not enough.

Zhou Bei rarely interjected, and when he saw that they had decided, he was ready to stir-fry.

Pheasant meat is slightly more chai than domestic chicken, the shredded meat is thicker, and it is not delicious to be fried dry, and it is best to stew to absorb the flavor.

Add dried shiitake mushrooms and dried bamboo shoots, and stew in a large pot, full of flavor.

Hare meat is the best braised because the rabbit meat is slightly cold, add chili peppers, fresh shiitake mushrooms, put more seasonings, and stir-fry in a large pot over high heat.

After the wild vegetables are out of the water, they are stir-fried with ingredients for the second time, and the bitter taste of the wild vegetables is covered with seasonings, which also has a unique taste.

Coupled with the chicken broth that had been cooked in the crockpot for two or three hours, this dinner was very hearty.

There is only one folding table, Zhu Lihua is here, and Xu Gongcheng and they can only not serve it.

However, they also enjoyed it, and after serving a few pots of meat dishes, they poured the pheasants they had left behind into the pot, cut the steamed buns into slices, charred them on the side of the pot, and dipped them in the broth, which was full of fragrance.

The few of them ate around the pot stove very deliciously, Yu Yang and Yu Xu were unwilling to eat seriously, and they also huddled together with the guards.

After Zhu Liqing tasted it, he exclaimed: "It's the first time I've eaten in the wild like this, and I never thought it would be so delicious." Brother Heng's craftsmanship is really good. ”

Zhou Bei smiled modestly: "It's only enough, it's just familiar, and you can't talk about craftsmanship." ”

Zhu Lihua eats very elegantly, but the speed is not slow at all. "Zai Heng has been fond of adventure since he was a child, and he has traveled the entire Northern Continent since he was fourteen years old, and this craft has also been slowly practiced.

Last winter, we hunted a grizzly bear in the mountains, and those bear paws were stewed in Hengheng for two days, and we still miss the supreme deliciousness. ”

Yu Youwei was happy when she heard her mother praise Zhou Bei, and a charming smile appeared on her face, as if she was praising her.

Yu Rang, the commander of the government soldiers, said with a smile: "It's not uncommon for small pot dishes to be good, and what big pot dishes can make is delicious, which is the real kung fu." There is such a craft in Heng, and when I hunt this winter, I will call you along, but don't shirk. ”

Zhou Bei smiled: "This is my honor, how dare I refuse." I'm okay with big pot dishes, but small pot dishes are much inferior to chefs. ”

Zhu Liqing ate happily, holding a chicken leg in his hand, and said with a smile: "When the time comes, I will make an appointment, and I will also join in the fun." It never snows under the mountains of Tangzhou, not even rain, and there is a lot of fun. ”

For a prince, it is rare to eat until he loses his temper, and Yu Rang, the magistrate of Shannan County, Sun Xiang and others seem to be watching jokes.

Zhou Bei didn't care either, because he did have a hand in making big pot dishes.

Several people laughed and talked about the unique natural environment of Tangzhou.

The location of Tang State corresponds to the northern part of Chile in another world, around the Atacama Desert, as well as a few grasslands and other natural environments.

There is almost no rain there, and the water is based on the melting of snow and ice in the snow-capped mountains and underground water resources.

Therefore, there is almost no development of agriculture there, only minerals and industry, fisheries.

Compared to Xuezhou, which is rich in natural resources, it can be called desolate.

Only Zhu Lihua's eyes froze slightly, knowing that he was acting with such an exaggeration. I just don't know how he arranged it today.

But no matter how he arranged, he always had nothing to do with himself, and took his children away for a while, regardless of which of them won and who lost.

It is enough to create this opportunity for him himself.

She thought for a while, and when she was almost finished, she said: "Zai Heng, don't sleep too late at night, tomorrow you will accompany me to Sifang Town to distribute supplies, and then return directly to Sanhe City from the south, and don't go back here." ”

Zhu Liqing answered at this time and said: "Auntie, there are too many people in the camp, it is not clean at all, and it is not far from the camp, I want to arrange it and live here at night." ”

Zhu Lihua looked at Zhou Bei, but said without waiting for him to agree: "Then I will ask someone to bring you a tent and help you set up camp." You also rest early in the evening. ”

"Okay."

Although Zhou Bei was reluctant to live with Zhu Liqing, the mountains and rivers here were far away, and he could live anywhere, and he had no reason to object.

Yu Youwei twisted her brother's arm, Yu Yang immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Mother, how about we stay here at night?" ”

Zhu Lihua said: "No, you can bear to let your mother live in the camp alone?" After all, the conditions here are not as good as those at the camp. ”

Yu Yang looked at Yu Youwei and laughed in a low voice: "Definitely not, even if we can live here, you can't." ”

Zhu Lihua has spoken, and everything is decided.

After the meal, Zhou Bei and Yu Rang chatted for a while, today's big pot dishes are very suitable for his taste, and the two made an appointment to hunt together in autumn and winter.

In the entire Xuezhou County, there are nearly 200,000 square kilometers, except for the 3,000 guards of the Prince's Mansion and the 300 guards of the County Prince's Mansion, only 3,000 soldiers are borne by the imperial court.

The guards do not have any law enforcement powers, except for the local security management and disaster relief, and are not allowed to be dispatched.

And the 3,000 soldiers undertook the military tasks of the entire county.

The commander is a military general of the three grades and the highest military leader in the entire Xue Prefecture, which is directly under the management of the Ministry of National Defense, and the local government has no jurisdiction.

Yu Rang is in Xuezhou County, at the same level as the county guard, and even King Xue can't control it.

Zhou Bei can win his favor, and it can be regarded as climbing a high branch.

When night fell, the moon of the nineteenth was still very bright, and in the mountains and forests, it was sprinkled with white.

Zhou Bei sent Zhu Lihua and them to the main road, and Zhu Lihua beckoned to Zhou Bei.

Yu Youwei didn't want to go, but she couldn't help but go. She was an unmarried woman, and without her parents, she could not stay home with others at night.

Seeing that her mother wanted to talk to Zhou Bei in private, she wanted to listen, but was stopped by Zhu Qian. "Miss, Niangniang wants to talk to Zai Heng about some important things......"

The others didn't care and got in the car one by one. Zhu Lihua walked to the back of the convoy and stopped. "Have you thought about it?"

"400,000 silver coins, technical authorization is my bottom line, I want Youwei."

Under the moonlight, Zhu Lihua looked at Zhou Beiying's silhouette and smiled faintly. "Your bottom line is known to everyone, and your problem now is that if the bottom code is revealed too early, the opponent will ask for more."

Zhou Bei looked at the charming figure opposite, but there was no trace of nostalgia in his heart. "Is it just an opponent?"

Zhu Lihua didn't speak, Zhou Bei sighed and said: "The silver coins and technology are all in my hands, as long as I don't let go, it is not easy to lose my money." ”

Zhu Lihua smiled: "I don't care, just wait and see." ”
