Princess Changping has withdrawn from the stage of history.

I don't know if Wu Nuxia, who secretly investigated her father's murderer behind her back, found out what she wanted to find out, and I don't know if the fox demon who repaid her kindness in Changjing was freed.

Was Yu Zhizhou, who was transferred back to the capital to take on important responsibilities, involved, and whether Liu Junshou was affected by the wind and waves.

It was a huge storm.

That's how it counts, it's really a lot of old people.

Song You was in the field, although he could not see the court and the undercurrent of the capital, but he did not feel a pity, at that time he may have climbed the colorful pool in Yuezhou, or listened to the snow in front of the Yuelong Waterfall, or waited for the divine bird to fly in the Qingtong forest left over from ancient times, in front of him, it is also a scenic wonder that ordinary people can hardly see in their lives.

General Chen is destined to be a famous general through the ages.

Even if he is harmed by the emperor or a powerful minister in the end, even if time changes him in the future, even if he is not guaranteed in the evening, he still cannot change this.

The Taoist is thousands of miles away, in the farthest state from Changjing in the east, in a remote and inconspicuous small county, with his own cat to kill time, harvested several times and dried peppers a few times, while working trying to teach a cat to grow food, until the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, he took the cat again, followed by the swallow boy, to buy meat on the street.

There are very few goods in this small town, and the same is true for the Chinese New Year.

In addition to some agricultural supplies, vegetarian dishes are mainly pickled vegetables and cellar vegetables, and there are very few fresh vegetables, but because of the Chinese New Year, there are many meat sellers.

After a walk, I bought a large pig's trotter, a few ribs, and two or two knives of meat.

Also bought a chicken.

I didn't have too many scruples because the swallow was also a bird, although this swallow was timid by nature, but it was also very sensitive, and if he noticed it, he might blame himself in his heart.

It is common for people to eat chickens.

It's okay to avoid it appropriately, and it's better to go with the flow, just like Sanhua Niangniang eating rats, Song You can't stand it, since that's the case, it's okay not to watch it.

When I came back, I borrowed the store's stove to pack up everything, and then borrowed the store's pot stove, and took advantage of the morning to prepare the marinade, boil the brine, and throw the pig's trotters, pork ribs and chicken into it to cook.

Chinese New Year's Eve was lively.

Blowing and blowing outside, some people are dressed brightly, apply heavy makeup, sing and dance while blowing suona and beating waist drums, the people behind them carry the local gods who can get rid of the epidemic, walk the streets and alleys, occasionally you can see the local county officials and their families walking through the street under the guidance of many attendants, and you can also see a lot of Jianghu warriors, and they also came to the street in groups of three or five, most of them are carrying different styles of long knives, it is estimated that they are under the influence of Hanjiangmen, the first major faction in Zhaozhou.

The boiled meat in the house is bubbling.

Song You also brought a bench and sat outside, looking at this rare prosperous scene.

It's just that today, in this small city, everyone who lives around this inn, walks by or around, smells a strong fragrance.

This is a taste that does not belong to this era.

"What does it smell like?"

"It smells so good!"

"It smells like meat!"

"Ouch, where did you come from?"

"It smells so good!"

I don't know if the aroma of wine is afraid of deep alleys, and the aroma of meat must not be afraid of deep alleys.

People who are used to eating meat may not think it, but if you are locked up in one place for a period of time, and the supply of materials is insufficient, it is just an ordinary stew, far away, and it is already very light, and people who smell it will also feel that they want to die, don't say that this is already a strong smell of braised meat.

Unless you don't like meat in the first place.

But the common people in this city have not eaten meat for a while.

Even the innkeepers, who live relatively wealthy, are surprised to see the rich aroma of meat coming from their own stove house.

This person borrowed his own stove house, he naturally wanted to see what this person was doing with his own stove, but it was not good to keep staring, but he also knew that this person used some spices and cooked a pot of things called brine, at first it was just a spice smell, it smelled strange, but there was not much appetite, but as soon as this meat was added, the taste suddenly changed.

The shopkeeper couldn't help but run to Song You, bowed down and asked:

"What is this called, sir?"

"Back to the store, it's called braised pork."

"Braised pork?"

"Hometown practices are not common in the outside world."

“……”

The store's mind suddenly came alive.

I wanted to ask this person if he could teach himself, and I thought of the large number of spices weighed in proportion, and it seemed that everything was meticulous to the extreme, and I felt that this was a secret that would not be passed on. I want to say that I can waive his room or pay some other price, but I always feel a little reluctant. I just want to grit my teeth and be generous, but I feel that this person will live here for more than 20 days, maybe he will do it again, he just needs to look more carefully next time, watch it a few more times, maybe he can learn it. It's great to be kind to him, take care of him more on weekdays, and send more things.

was thinking about it in his heart, and before he could figure out a result, he glanced at it, but saw that this person was turning his head and looking at him with a smile.

It is as if the gaze can see into the heart of a person.

“！”

The shopkeeper couldn't help but be surprised.

It's like the little ninety-nine in my heart has been discovered, but it's not that I'm weak and afraid, it's more like a naked sense of shame.

However, the person in front of him smiled: "Do you want to try it?" ”

"This ...... How is this good? ”

"Is the store here for the New Year?"

"Originally, I was going to go back to the city and take my father over, but this autumn my father has passed away, the eldest son is doing business abroad, and the second son has not returned from the army, so we have to spend the New Year here, and then go out to visit a relative after the New Year."

"That's fine." Song You smiled at him and said, "There is a lot of meat cooked in Xia, but there are no other dishes, and there is no cooking rice, if the store is willing, it will be divided into some of the vegetables and rice, and some of the braised meat will be divided into the store, wouldn't it be right?" ”

"Isn't that taking advantage of Mr.?"

The shopkeeper laughed. Song You smiled again, "How can there be such a saying for the New Year?" ”

"That ......"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and found that he couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he had to bury his head in it: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

The Taoist continued to sit here, watching the excitement.

There is not much shopping in the small town, and when it gets dark, it is Chinese New Year's Eve.

The sound of firecrackers can be heard sporadically.

Song You stood in front of the window of the upstairs room, looked out, but there was no trace of fireworks in the sky, and then looked at the streets elsewhere, although he could see that there were shops lit up, and some people were walking on the street with lanterns, and there were many figures shaking in the darkness outside the lanterns, but they were not like Changjing Ruyidu, where lanterns were lit in front of every house.

But it's not that it's not lively, it's just that it's not lively in a different way.

You have to see through the shadows, you have to see from the noise and noise.

After staying for a few days, Song You still likes it here.

"Hoo ......"

A cold wind poured into the room.

Song You casually closed the window and turned around to go back to the house.

There are also lanterns lit in the house, one is hung at the door, the other is hung at the head of the bed, all lit by Sanhua Niangniang, and an oil lamp is lit in front of the table, which is also oil-free spontaneous combustion, and half a table of dishes is placed on the table.

Song You made a few kinds of braised pork casually cut into pieces or slices, in a thick bowl, it doesn't seem to be exquisite, but the color and fragrance are very attractive, the store also made their own stew, skin jelly, fried small river fish and tofu balls in a large bowl to send him over, the craft seems to be very ordinary, itself in most places this year there is not much cooking system, but the amount of money did not treat him badly.

A small dish of raw shredded lean meat, a raw small fish.

There were already two figures sitting at the table.

A little girl, sitting upright, turned her head to look at him, a handsome young man, with a restrained expression.

“……”

Song You smiled and sat down at the table.

"Eat."

"Whew!"

Sanhua Niangniang was unceremoniously, she had been hungry for the braised pork that the Taoist priest said for a long time, and she didn't bother to use chopsticks, so she reached out and grabbed a piece of pork ribs.

As usual, sniff it before putting it in your mouth.

The Taoist looked at her with a smile on his face:

"Is it delicious?"

“……”

The little girl bowed her head and gnawed intently, and a low whine came out of her mouth, which was considered an answer, and she had never been able to speak while she was eating.

Until a piece is gnawed, holding the bone in his hand, chewing and swallowing the meat in his mouth, the juice in his mouth is also finely smashed clean to ensure that there is no residue, and then the bone is also put into the mouth to chew and chew, not only the bone marrow and juice in it, but also the bone residue is swallowed together.

The swallow boy who watched the operation was shocked.

Only then did the little girl turn her head and look at the Taoist.

Her eyes seemed to glow in the light.

However, he still did not answer immediately, but kept looking at him, as if thinking about the reply, or organizing the language, and only spoke for a long time, but he asked rhetorically:

"Why don't you pour out the water that boiled the meat?"

"Save for next time."

"Cook it next time!"

"yes."

"Can I cook it again?"

"Of course."

Song You frowned when he replied.

There was another ominous premonition in my heart.

Sure enough, the little girl sitting next to him was already thinking again, and if you looked closely, you could see that her head was still imperceptibly slightly pointed, and her eyes were rolling, and she looked at the small mobile stove used to heat and boil water in the room, and then at the quilt bag containing the small pot.

“……”

Song You was helpless and speechless, so he had to sigh and sandwich meat for her: "Sanhua Niangniang eat more ......"

The little girl looked down at her bowl, and although she reached out to take it, she said to him with a serious face:

"Taoist priest eat more!"

It looks like he wants to keep his stomach for midnight before eating.

"Alas......"

Therefore, whether it is a cat or a child, sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing to have too strong learning ability, hands-on ability and self-care ability, especially an all-round child who is very strong in everything.

After eating, go out for a stroll with lanterns and feel the atmosphere of the New Year in this remote northern town.

……

That night, in the middle of the night.

The people who lived near this inn smelled a strange fragrance similar to that during the day, although it was not as strong as during the day, and the smell of meat was not so strong, but it was just as attractive.

The innkeeper and his wife were also awakened by the scent.

First, the wife woke up the shopkeeper and said that she had smelled the aroma, but the shopkeeper was impatient at first, and only said that she had eaten the braised pork made by the guest tonight, and she missed it very much, and smelled the fragrance in her dream. However, as soon as he finished speaking, he also smelled the same aroma, got up and turned the lamp to check, and when he arrived at the stove house, he did not see any movement of the fire, and went upstairs to see, the gentleman's room was also quiet and dark, and the aroma did not come from the gentleman's room, and he couldn't help but be puzzled.

But I can smell the aroma, as if it is still hot.

I searched for it, but I didn't find anything.

When I walked to the cupboard, I opened it and saw that my husband and wife were not willing to eat a few pieces tonight, and they wanted to keep the braised pork for their younger brother and nephew who walked around the city in two days, and they were not stolen by any neighbor or thief, but they couldn't help but grab two pieces of pig's trotters, one into their mouths, and one in their hands, and went back to the room to share them with their old wives.

"It's weird."

The shopkeeper shook his head and muttered as he walked.
