89. Got into a bandit village by mistake?
A master and a servant were stunned again!
Did they strayed into the bandit village?
For a moment, this thought quickly flashed through the two of them, and then they felt that they were thinking too much.
But what's going on with this scene in front of you?
Lord Chincha was stunned.
Jiang Ming was also stunned.
The two of them just watched the 200 or so people work with bitter faces with their eyes open, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
In the end, Shen Manchu, who walked here, discovered the strangeness of the two.
"Elder Jiang, breakfast has been prepared in the ancestral hall, do you want to eat some?"
The old man came back to his senses and pointed to a group of people at the foot of the mountain, "Shen Lizheng, this is."
"Oh, you said they."
Shen Manchu's expression was indifferent, "The bandits of Qingshan Village." โ
Two: "?! โ
***
The Shen family's small courtyard.
Cheng Xi marinated a pot of meat cut into pieces with seasonings, picked up bamboo skewers and skewered them one by one.
In the past few days, Shen Xingluo has successively brought some "stowaways" from the mountains, and the kitchen at home is already too much to fit, and even the double-door refrigerator in the space is full.
She saw that there was still a lot of charcoal at home, so she simply planned to make a barbecue.
"Xingqi, pick some vegetables."
"Okay!"
The little girl is now very quick in the kitchen, and has already developed a hand of speed.
Cheng Xi went to the cellar after putting on the meat skewers, planning to skewer some vegetables to enrich the taste.
Cabbage, radish, eggplant, and garlic can all be used.
The two were busy for half an hour, and then they prepared all the ingredients, and made a few cold dishes by the way.
"Sister-in-law, do you only eat meat and vegetables tonight?"
"You can add some staple food, and you can also bake the steamed bread slices with sauce."
Cheng Xi looked out of the window and found that the sun in the west was gradually turning red, so he took out white flour and water to reconcile.
"How can a barbecue be without cookies?"
Different people have different interpretations of barbecue.
For Cheng Xi, the thin cake is brushed with a layer of garlic sauce, grilled meat skewers, and then rolled up with a handful of shallots, and one bite can simply fly to the sky.
The dough was quickly reconciled.
Divide the dough into equal portions with a knife, roll it out into a palm-sized and heat it on an iron plate for a few seconds to get a barbecue cake.
This was repeated repeatedly, and in a short time the cakes on the plate were stacked high.
The sunset quickly sank in the fiery sunset, and Shen Xingluo also pushed open the wooden door of the north house.
He was stunned when he saw the configuration of meat, vegetables, and iron frames in the living room.
"Barbecue today?"
He has only eaten the barbecue meat from Cheng Xi's hands twice, roasting the whole wolf and roasting the suckling pig, and he has never used this kind of iron trough with the width of a tiger's mouth.
Feeling a little different this time?
"It's barbecue, this time the grill is different, it's easy to cook."
Cheng Xi put the burned charcoal in the iron trough, and the ancient simple version of the barbecue grill was ready.
"How did you talk to Master Jiang?"
Shen Xingluo walked over and sat in front of the wooden bench, following her example and placing the skewers on top of the iron trough.
"Zhuang Kun's confession has been handed over to him."
Cheng Xi brushed the oil for a moment, "Trust him so much?" โ
"Jiang Lao is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and he was the companion of the first emperor."
"What is his official position?"
"Doctor Guanglu, the official residence is the second grade."
"Is it a loose official?"
"Yes."
Shen Xingluo turned over the fat and thin meat skewers in his hand, and the oil paper touched the charcoal and made a stinging sound, and the fragrance suddenly dispersed.
His dark eyes lit up slightly, and then he looked at the spices beside the iron trough.
"Can I sprinkle spices now?"
"It's good to bake on both sides."
Cheng Xi saw that he was confident, so he didn't mention it anymore.
Now that the evidence has been handed over to the Qin Cha from the capital, this matter can be regarded as over.
Zhou Lesong's chances of turning the tables again are very small, and the more than 200 mountain bandits in Shenjia Village have confessed and drawn a charge.
The first batch of meat skewers was quickly cooked, sprinkled with a layer of spices, and the aroma was immediately tangy.
Shen Xingqi walked out of the boudoir with the fragrance, still holding an unfinished purse in his hand.
"It's so fragrantโhow does it feel different from the first two barbecues?"
"There are some differences."
Cheng Xi waved the handful of incense at her, "Go wash your hands and come and taste it." โ
The little girl did so immediately, and soon came back refreshed, carrying a small bench with her.
"Wow~"
"Brother, why is your craftsmanship so good?"
Shen Xingluo familiarly flipped the meat skewers in his hands, brushing them with oil from time to time, and his technique was very sophisticated, as if he had done it hundreds of times.
"It's not difficult to read it once."
Shen Xingqi: "."
Why is it that she was born to a father, and she has to learn to cook several times?
The little girl took a sullen bite of the meat on the skewers, and then narrowed her eyes happily.
Delicious!
"Eat less, the elders in the family haven't come back yet."
"Just eat a skewer, just a skewer!"
Shen Xingqi nodded his head into a pounded garlic shape, "I'm just going to try your craft, what if it's not cooked?" โ
Shen Xingluo was a little amused, "Is that ripe?" โ
"It's ripe, brother, you can be a chef!"
Cheng Xi on the opposite side picked up a small cake, smeared a layer of garlic sauce with a homemade brush, put in a folded shallot, and finally added a string of pork belly to shake it.
It's done!
She put it in her mouth and took a bite, and the aroma of the barbecue and the crispness of the shallots suddenly exploded in her mouth, and the outer dough was tightly wrapped and even more delicious.
Shen Xingqi was stunned.
Can you still eat like this?
Why does she feel that the taste in her sister-in-law's hands is richer?
"Brother, can I try another bunch?"
Shen Xingluo: "."
The little girl didn't stare at the skewers for long.
Not long after the sun went down, Cheng Daqian came back with a cold air.
"The gates of the city are opened."
His expression was not good or bad, and his brows furrowed faintly.
"But if you want to enter the city, you not only need a road guide, but you also have to pay 100 yuan."
Shen Xingluo and Cheng Xi were not too surprised when they heard this, they had long guessed that the city gate would be opened, after all, the 200,000 stone grain that the fifth prince was responsible for escorting was about to arrive.
However, 100 yuan is a bit unexpected.
This money is not friendly to the people of Lin'an Province and to the victims of the disaster.
"In the past, you had to pay 2 cents to go to the city, but now it has increased 50 times."
Grab the money, yes.
Bandits don't have such high profits.
"Dad, did you go in today?"
"I went in, I went to the Hongwei Dart Bureau with your Uncle Xizi, and by the way, I asked about the price of grain in the Qin family's grain store."
Cheng Daqian's brows furrowed even tighter, "Black noodles have been sold for 50 wen a catty, white noodles and broken rice are 80 wen, and other grain shops are more expensive." โ
The price is 10 times higher than usual.
In Cheng Xi's view, it is normal for grain prices to fluctuate so much in such an environment, and the supply exceeds demand and can rise again, and the Qin family has already done its best.
But for the people, this is undoubtedly bad news.
"I'm afraid the victims won't even be able to take out the copper plates to enter the city, right?"
