Chapter 373: Li Yuanqing treats guests

The order was sent to the Northwest City, and the scorching summer had passed, and it was early autumn.

Xiyun Kingdom changed 30,000 people this time, some of them were powerful noble children, and a small part were the personal guards of these people's noble children.

While driving cattle and sheep into the city, the captive soldiers of Xiyun Kingdom went out of the city.

It is surrounded by the armies of the two countries, eyeing each other.

The soldiers of Xiyun Kingdom were worried that Da Zhou had taken silver, cattle and sheep, and would not let them go; The soldiers of the Great Zhou were worried that Xiyun Kingdom would take the captives away and would not give cattle, sheep and silver.

Under such a strange confrontation, it took two days to complete the inventory and replace it with this exchange.

When General Zhao saw this, he was really as comfortable as eating chilled cold melon on a dog day.

In the past, they spent money on wars, but now they didn't expect to make money from wars, which is very cost-effective. In the future, I don't have to worry about being twittered by those people in the household department every time.

Say that the belligerent will be dangerous, but why don't they say that if they forget to fight, they will die?

Meng Shide scratched his head and asked, "Brother Li, do you say that the people of Xiyun Kingdom will still redeem the remaining captives below?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Yes, of course." Only in this way can we appease the crisis-ridden contradictions in the country. Otherwise, if we don't trouble Xiyun Kingdom, they will eventually fall apart. ”

Meng Shide still had a doubt in his heart, "Now that only part of it has been redeemed, isn't the rest very angry?" When the families of these people see that other people's sons and husbands have returned, but their sons and husbands have not returned, aren't they making a big fuss in Xiyun Kingdom? ”

Li Yuanqing raised his eyebrows, quite proud, "That's natural, when we first started doing this before, Xiyun inevitably had civil strife in the country, which was also one of our purposes." The Kingdom of Siyun is a country united by several major tribes. Some tribesmen's children did not go back, which will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among various tribes. You see, it may not be long before people from different tribes will come to us with cattle and sheep to ransom people. ”

After Meng Shide figured out the key to it, he gave Li Yuanqing a thumbs up, "Brother Li is clever." Although the lord of Xiyun Kingdom appeased the tribes below, no matter what, most of the tribal nobles and soldiers did not return. His reassuring tactics are not clever, but rather exacerbate conflicts. ”

Although General Zhao didn't speak, the smile on his face made his serious black face look a little hideous.

This battle, which lasted for four years, finally achieved an absolute victory.

Just when General Zhao counted the silver, cattle, sheep and horses, transported them to the Central Plains, and rewarded the soldiers, Li Yuanqing came to the field.

The peppers have grown, and some are already red.

The potatoes were also dug out of the soil in a basket, and the corn was ripe, some of which were already old, and only a few of the corn plants were green, and they were broken off and boiled to eat.

The soybeans grown with corn are not yet fully ripe, but they are delicious when they are fried with edamame and stir-fried with some chili peppers.

As for sweet potatoes, the sweet potatoes planted at the beginning are now ripe, but the sweet potatoes planted by cuttings in the future will take half a month to mature.

Li Yuanqing picked some and brought them back to the camp.

The fresh potatoes are scraped and cut into thin strips, and served with green peppers cut into small pieces to make a plate of shredded potatoes with green peppers.

The green edamame, which is fresh, is also served with chili peppers, and I made a plate of fried edamame with chili peppers.

Let people prepare six eggs, with shredded chili peppers, and make a plate of scrambled eggs with chili peppers.

There is also a more primitive way to eat, directly throw the chili pepper into the fire that has been extinguished, wait until the green chili pepper is burned soft, then take it out from the inside, clean up the ash on the outside of the chili, and put it in the scoop together with the garlic cloves to mash it, then pour soy sauce and vinegar salt, and then throw away the sesame oil, the taste is also quite good.

Seeing that the man cooked a large piece of pork, Li Yuanqing asked people to cut a piece of it, cut it into small slices himself, and then fried it with chili peppers, and it was done, chili fried meat.

Stir-fried tofu with chili, stir-fried beans with chili, stir-fried gourd with chili...

There are ten dishes, except for the cold cucumber with no chili peppers in it.

When eating a dish stir-fried with chili, the most suitable dish is not rice or steamed buns, but wraps.

Li Lianqing described it to the man, and the man made thin, soft, and strong pancakes.

When the meal was served, General Zhao Da and Meng Shide and several other generals came together.

Li Yuanqing brought back a lot of things from the ground today, of course, he can't enjoy them exclusively.

Therefore, when Li Yuanqing was cooking, he asked the guards around him to inform General Zhao and others.

As soon as they entered the tent, everyone not only saw the food on the table, but also smelled the pungent and spicy smell of chili peppers.

Especially Meng Shide, after smelling the spicy smell of chili peppers, he kept sneezing.

Meng Shide looked at the food on the table with a frightened face, "Brother Li, what are you putting in these meals?" How can you eat it when you're so choking? ”

General Zhao's gaze also fell on the inside of the dish, the chili pepper he had never seen before, "This spicy smell is much stronger than dogwood!" ”

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "General, this thing is called chili pepper, and it was passed down from Fanbang and is not my Great Zhou thing." This thing is spicy and fragrant, not only spicier than dogwood, but also more fragrant than dogwood, without the bitter taste of dogwood. At first, you may not be used to eating it, but after it is served with burritos, there is no one who likes to drink alcohol and does not like to eat chili. ”

Hearing this, Meng Shide was quite unconvinced, "I can drink the wine, but I keep sneezing when I smell the chili pepper." ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "After a few hits, you will get used to it." Now if you look at it again, is there not as much sneezing as it did at the beginning? ”

Liu Kui brought people over with several basins, which were filled with water.

Li Yuanqing took the lead in washing his hands, "I'm going to eat burritos later, everyone wash their hands." Whether it's delicious or not, wait until you eat it and then judge. ”

Everyone washed their hands and sat down one after another.

Li Yuanqing knew that General Zhao liked to eat meat, so he directly picked up a piece of burrito, then sandwiched a lot of chili peppers and fried meat in it, pulled the tail inside, and then wrapped it and handed it to General Zhao.

"General, you taste it first!" Li Yuanqing handed the rolled bread and meat to General Zhao.

General Zhao was unceremoniously, after taking it, he took a bite, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and the spicy and fragrant taste filled his mouth, stimulating people to secrete more saliva, and the fragrance of pork was stimulated.

General Zhao chewed a few times, tasted it carefully, and swallowed, "It's delicious, it tastes so good!" As Yuan Qing said, it tastes much better than dogwood. ”

Others also followed Li Yuanqing's example, took the wraps one after another, and used chopsticks to put vegetables into the cakes.

Most of these generals in the army were rough men, and they would drink every time they returned to the northwest city.

However, there is a rule in the camp that you can't drink alcohol, but everyone has a strong taste.

If you can tolerate the spiciness, you will naturally be able to withstand the spicy chili, not to mention the aroma of the dishes stir-fried with chili peppers.
