Chapter 328: It's Delicious But Dumplings, It's Fun......
"If you don't come, you won't come, and if you come, you'll have to go crazy, and it will disturb the interest of our big guys." Xiao Chen can't do anything about this second madman.
But he didn't expect that what should come will always come......
Although it is not a banquet, there is still wine and meat, just four dishes and one soup, which is relatively simple.
It's a holiday, only once a year.
A pot of red and bright color, fragrant dishes are the bacon sent by Zhao Gongming from Sichuan, a pot of hand-handled meat, a pot of cold bean sprouts, and a pot of cold cabbage shreds, and a large bowl in the middle is mutton and carrot soup.
Coupled with a few large pots of steaming dumplings filled with mutton and garlic sprouts, it looks very rich.
There is a great shortage of vegetables here in Yanyun County, and you can grow a little by yourself in summer, but there is nothing in winter.
There is only one vegetable that can be stored in the cellar for the winter.
Carrots have not been grown in large quantities in China, and this was brought by Wilson last time.
There is also sauerkraut, almost every household in Yanyun County has a large pickle vat, every autumn will pickle a large number of cabbage, and you can eat it in winter, this kind of sauerkraut is not afraid of freezing, so you can eat it until the beginning of spring.
As for what potatoes and onions, these crops are not available in China yet.
Garlic seedlings are fresh, because this can also be grown indoors, this garlic seedling is not the kind of garlic seedling in the south, and the correct name should be called leeks.
The bean sprouts are made after soaking soybeans and mung beans in water, which should be the only fresh vegetables that Yanyun County can eat in winter.
The dumplings came up, but everyone didn't move their chopsticks, and they all looked at Xiao Chen together.
"Boss, don't you want to say a few words?" Ye Baiqing said.
"It's all my own brothers, they mix together every day, how can there be so much nonsense? They all ate and drank well. Xiao Chen paused and said, "But when I see dumplings, I suddenly remembered a saying, delicious dumplings, fun but ......."
The complete original words are delicious but dumplings, and fun is not sister-in-law.
But Xiao Chen didn't finish speaking, and he felt that it was inappropriate, because there were two girls present, Xiangqin and Ling'er, and it seemed that it was not appropriate for him to make such vulgar jokes as the boss.
It's okay for the two girls, mainly because Qiu Ruolan is still sitting, and he always calls Dugulou Brother Hanzhong......
"What's fun?" The big guys are quite curious.
"It's fun, but making dumplings...... Eat it, big guy, it won't taste good when it gets cold later. Xiao Chen said.
"Hmph, you're still a scholar, you can say anything!" Baili Qingyun on the side suddenly sneered.
He knew this saying, so as soon as Xiao Chen said it, he was startled, and when he saw that Xiao Chen didn't say it halfway, he felt funny again.
He was originally unsmiling, but he didn't know why he was suddenly poked by Xiao Chen and couldn't help laughing.
Seeing that everyone looked at him in surprise, he hurriedly replaced it with sneers and accusations to cover it up, otherwise he wouldn't have said this.
"Shhhh......h
"You kid, don't say good things!" Chen Jisheng suddenly couldn't help laughing, it turned out that he also knew.
"Boss, I won't say anything if you reward me with a piece of gold." Ye Baiqing even knew?
"I'll give you a mouthful!" Xiao Chen began to beat the drum in his heart, quietly aimed at Dugulou, and saw that he was stunned, so he was relieved......
"Two days ago I went to Shunfeng Harbor on an errand, and Peter the Dead Fat asked me what was going on in our shipyard? I told him that he was making river boats to do shipping in our territory, and this guy was skeptical. Ye Baiqing changed the topic.
"Didn't you take advantage of this to test him?" Xiao Chen said.
The Bailongjiang River enters the sea from Shunfeng Port, that is to say, hundreds of miles upstream from Shunfeng Port to Bailongjiang, all of which can be shipped by river boats, and the cost of shipping is much lower than that of land transportation, and the transportation volume will increase greatly.
However, after the Rus' occupied Shunfeng Harbor, they closed the entrance to the sea and did not allow any ships from the upper reaches of the Bailong River to pass.
Xiao Chen and the others discussed that they would talk to Governor Peter, and it would be best to persuade him to agree to open up the river shipping, so that their gunboats and warships could go directly down the river and reach Shunfeng Harbor.
"Well, I saw that he was suspicious, so I told him about our plan, and he naturally refused, but outside of the words, it seems that there is still room for negotiation...... To put it bluntly, I just want money, but I didn't dare to promise him anything, for fear that this guy would find out about our intentions. Ye Baiqing said.
"Bai Qing did the right thing, you just have to tell him about it, don't take the initiative, it's best to let him come to us, this still needs to be planned." Chen Jisheng said.
"It would be best if Peter could agree, otherwise it would be difficult for our small boats to pass through their blockade, I have seen them, they have set up at least three batteries on the banks of the river, and there are several medium warships cruising in the river, and our small boats can maneuver with them in the bay, but they will not be able to use it in the narrow river." Dugu Corridor.
"Mr. Dugu, don't worry, when the time comes, I'll take the flying wings over and burn those forts to you!" Not to mention that Duan Ling'er really has this strength.
In fact, a lot of the information that Dugulou has obtained at present is from the help of the flying wing guards.
For this mysterious guard, Dugulou is also very curious, how did you find these scuds, Miss Ling'er?
Didn't you say it's boring to stay with the boss?
Would you like to consider bringing your people to join my sailors?
Duan Ling'er directly refused.
The reason is that my subordinates are all very good at light skills, and they all fly on the grass, but they are not floating on water.
Most of them are landlubbers, not to mention naval battles, and they will get dizzy when they ride a boat.
The main thing is that Duan Ling'er is seasick herself, otherwise maybe she will really think about it......
"It's rare to get together for the holidays, and the big guys don't talk about business." Liu Xiangqin proposed, "It's snowing outside, why don't you just use snow as the theme and write a poem for each person?" ”
"Who can do poetry better than that man?" Ye Baiqing pursed her lips and twisted her face, stretched out her finger and poked at Xiao Chen's back.
"That's the old man, I don't like this tune, if I take it seriously, I'm afraid it's still a little better than that person." Chen Jisheng said with a smile.
"If I talk about anything else, I can't compare to your old man, if I talk about poetry, hehe......" Xiao Chen raised his head high, openly provocative.
"Old man, you just have a song to suppress his arrogance!" Ye Baiqing said.
"This guy looks down on the old man!" Chen Jisheng touched his beard and shook his head, "Then just do a joke, don't laugh at the big guy." ”
"The wind is shaking at dusk, the night is cold and snowy, where does the old man live? Warm the tent before the stove. ”
Chen Jisheng is also a Jinshi, or a person who has been a Hanlin person, and for him, writing poetry is pediatrics, and he can export it casually.
The big guy applauded together when he heard these words, and Xiao Chen also nodded again and again, it turns out that you really know how to compose poetry, old man.
