The last rays of the slanting sun dissipated, and the dove-gray twilight shrouded the lonely bamboo manor.

The main courtyard where Gongsun Yan lives is rare and lively.

The appointment letter of the Lulong County Decree stipulates that he must be appointed before May, and even if Gongsun Yan Zhuangzhong is busy, he cannot delay it any longer.

Another Gongsun Yan suddenly had a craving for hot pot in the morning, thought about it, and simply organized a family banquet and called everyone to have dinner together.

So early in the morning, he ordered people to spread the message everywhere, and even Tian Kai in the Xishan camp did not miss it.

The horse meat she stewed in the deserted village was really substandard, and this time she had to find a way back to the field no matter what.

said that it was looking for a scene, but in fact, there was also a suspicion of cheating, the hot pot base sesame oil and minced garlic were all bought in the trader, considering that this would be the first time that chili peppers appeared in the late Han Dynasty, Gongsun Yan made a compromise and prepared a mandarin duck pot.

Today's weather is good, although it is still a little cold, but after eating hot pot, it is okay, so I simply asked the craftsman to temporarily build an earthen stove in the courtyard.

She deliberately freed up her afternoon time and has been busy in the East Kitchen since noon.

The cooking methods of the Han Dynasty were only broiled, cannonballed, fried, steamed, boiled, stewed, and fried for the time being, and the most common stir-fry in later generations had to wait until the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the popularization was a matter after the Song Dynasty.

Nowadays, the kitchen utensils are also very simple, mostly bulky pottery and bronze work.

But this did not prevent Gongsun Yan from quietly buying kitchen utensils and kitchen knives in the kitchen.

It doesn't matter if the cooking is good or not, the tools must be complete.

From frying, woks to stewpots, to kitchen knives and meat hammers, it seems that missing will affect her cooking skills.

If it weren't for the fear that Ah Qing, who is often in the kitchen, would use it improperly and cause a big accident, she would have planned to get a gas stove.

The people present this time were also Tian Kai, Zhao Yun and others, and only Zhang Zhu and the hard work of taking care of Zhang Zhu were missed.

Gongsun Yan sent Alan to the courtyard where the wounded soldiers lived, and Zhang Zhu's recovery was not bad, but he still had bandages wrapped around his legs, so there was no need to toss him hard to join in this fun.

Xin Shi may have heard that he had dinner with Gongsun Yan, Zhao Yun and others, and he felt restrained, so he was bound to stay and take care of Zhang, but he refused to come.

Gongsun Yan had no choice but to ask Alan to find the steward of the main house in charge of the ingredients, send a few hens, and ask Ah Qing to stew chicken soup for the two of them.

Considering that the guests who are going to be invited to the banquet are all martial artists and have a large amount of food, and there is also a Zhao Yun among them, the east kitchen of the main courtyard today generally has a large amount of ingredients.

There are hot springs in the village, and a small temperate house has been built to grow some vegetables.

Naturally, leeks and sunflowers are indispensable, and there are new mushrooms and mountain mushrooms in the mountains in April.

A few days ago, in order to promote the planting of sweet potatoes, Gongsun Yan gave the villagers very favorable conditions, and soon after a few elders who were representatives returned, they asked the juniors in the family to send some cranberries planted in their own backyards.

And a deer, a sheep.

The rest of the quails, geese, finches and other wild animals hunted by the tribe were of little use in eating hot pot, so they were sent to the barracks to give the soldiers a meal and a fishy meat.

Dog meat was also sent to the barracks, dog meat was a common meat in the Han Dynasty, but when Gongsun Yan saw the grinning dog's head, she was a little hairy, and she would never take a bite, so she sent it to the barracks along with game.

Pork and the like were not delivered, and the pigs were still kept in the toilet at this time, and they were not so good on the table.

At this time, the pork is not gelding, the smell is heavy, and it is only eaten by civilians, but the lady of the main family treats guests, and the steward will naturally not send pork.

There is no beef, and at this time, ploughing cattle are important spring ploughing livestock, and it is illegal to slaughter and eat them at will.

Even if Gongsun Yan is the owner of the Lone Bamboo Manor, he is in the filial piety period, it is not good to slaughter the ploughing cattle during the spring ploughing, and she will not have a reputation if it is spread out.

Even this banquet to eat meat was also quietly and not loudly announced.

But how can shabu shabu be without yellow throat, pork belly, and fat cow?

Gongsun Yan dismissed the cook who helped the kitchen in the afternoon, asked Aqing Alan to prepare the wine and preserves, and secretly bought all the hairy belly fat beef rolls and other plates in the trader, waiting to be served.

Seeing that the sky was about to darken, Gongsun Yan rolled up his sleeves with a belt on his arm, and the combed high bun was simply tied with a plain white linen hairband.

On the stove, a large and deepened mandarin duck pot was set up, and the clear chicken soup boiled in it, boiling ginger slices and green onions.

Gongsun Yan each spicy and clear soup each opened a bag of hot pot base and threw it in, although the bottom of the butter pot is good, but the taste is too public.

As the hot pot base gradually melted into the soup base, the domineering taste suddenly spread throughout the kitchen.

Gongsun Yan gently stirred the bottom of the pot with the long chopsticks specially ordered by the carpenter, and the familiar fragrance suddenly made her feel like a world away.

Unknowingly, she has come to this era for more than a month, but when she recalls the past, it seems that a long time has passed.

From the panic when she first came, she had to hold Gongsun Cheng every night to sleep peacefully, and now she has gradually adapted to here.

Adapted to the environment and the people here.

She hadn't missed that little house for a long time.

In its place were the courtyard, the people.

Probably because she was indifferent in the past, and there was nothing to miss and care about.

Gongsun Yan sighed with some emotion.

At this time, she suddenly heard footsteps behind her, thinking that Ah Qing was coming to help, so she beckoned, "Is someone coming?" ”

"It's all here."

The voice that answered was not Ah Qing, but Zhao Yun.

As soon as Gongsun Yan turned around, his eyes suddenly lit up.

I saw a handsome young man in a soap robe, standing at the door of the kitchen, blocking most of the light.

She knew that she had excellent vision, and such a style of uniform must look great on him.

"Why are you here?" Gongsun Yan couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips and asked.

"I heard Alain say that the lady is busy in the kitchen alone, and she is worried that you won't be able to watch the fire, so she came to help." Zhao Yun walked in, and Gongsun Yan suddenly felt that the kitchen seemed to be a little narrower, and the air was thinner.

Knowing that he was talking about the things in the deserted village at that time, Gongsun Yan couldn't help but retort: "Not at that time, but I learned it a long time ago." "After sleeping in the wild for so many days, she is not a fool.

"The lady is smart." Zhao Yun chuckled and praised it.

"Come here, I'll see how the clothes are." Gongsun Yan smiled and beckoned to him.

He also obediently walked to Gongsun Yan and stood still.

He was very tall, and Gongsun Yan had to look up at him, and gently raised his hand to straighten his clothes, although his clothes were already neatly organized.

"It's suitable, it's beautiful!" Gongsun Yan tilted his head and smiled at him.

Zhao Yun also lowered his head to look at her and did not speak.

Outside, the sky darkened, and the flames in the stove jumped.

Gongsun Yan was in a trance, as if he had returned to the night in the deserted village.

At that time, he had just been rescued by him, his face was bruised and in a mess, and he was also sloppy and wearing a military coat.

"Zilong, when you go to Lulong, you must be careful."

"Hmm." Zhao Yun answered, he looked at the girl in front of him, his right hand was raised slightly, and then put it down again, "Yun understands." ”
