Chapter 11 Feasting
"Robbers, when will there be no robbers?" Gan Fei sighed as if he had opened the shopkeeper's chatter at the mention of the robbers, and he sighed and shook his head as he spoke. This is surrounded by mountains and mountains, the forest is deep and the road is dangerous, there have always been some strongmen or horse bandits who cut the path, and there was a sentry Xianbei soldiers stationed in Qiabukan before, you say that the Hu people are vicious, but they are usually safe with our people, and often go to Ashan's house to eat mutton, that is, these Xianbei soldiers are here, and what robbers and horse bandits do not dare to come here, but they have been peaceful here for several years. It's good now, isn't it the Huan Da Sima of the Great Jin Kingdom who came over? That is to pit us, the Xianbei people are in a tight war, and even this sentry Xianbei soldier has also been requisitioned to Luoyang to defend, making our town empty and defenseless, if the robbers come to attack, I don't know how to get it. A few days ago, a few merchants in the town also jointly discussed, asking each household in the town to send some strong men, and then contact a few business protectors in the town, and get some volunteers to come out, and the left and right can also protect the town, right?"
Gan Fei asked the robbers, he was originally interested in the slaughtered village, those thugs were cruel and did too much evil, he had the idea of eliminating violence and peace again, and for a while he forgot that he was not the martial arts demon slayer of the past, but after some words, he felt that this shopkeeper had a lot of resentment against Da Sima's Northern Expedition, seeing that he was also dressed as a Han Chinese, how could he say these words, and he didn't have time to ask the robbers in detail, but said strangely: "What? Da Sima led the army back, and you are still not happy?"
"Whoever is our master, it is not our bird business! You think, as long as we don't harm us, so that everyone can eat enough, I think that, whether it is the Jin people or the Hu people, who sits in the world is not the same? Looking at this military disaster for many years, I don't know how many people have died, and now the Great Jin Kingdom has launched a large-scale northern expedition, and he Huan Da Sima has won the fame of thousands of years, what about us ordinary people? I am even more worried that I don't know when I will be stabbed, if this is the case, it is better for him Da Sima not to come. The shopkeeper said that he slipped his mouth, and did not hide the dissatisfaction in his heart at all, it seems that the grievances have been accumulated for a long time, and it is rare to vent it, which surprised Gan Fei, although Gan Fei himself has always been scornful of what princes and ministers, but he has always thought that the people of Huaxia who have been poisoned by the misfortune are all looking forward to the return of the prince and the prince of the Jin family, especially after living in the Great Sima Mansion for a long time, he still has a good impression of the Great Sima in his heart, but he does not want to be like this.
"Liuzi, I can't control your tongue, and I don't want to greet the guests!" The shopkeeper who had been squinting and napping in the store suddenly scolded, but his tone showed that he was worried that the shopkeeper was talking nonsense, and now was a tense juncture, who knew that the guests here did not have the deacon of the Jin army, and when he heard these disrespectful words to the Great Sima, he turned around and brought trouble to the store.
The shopkeeper was still a little unsatisfied, and when he turned away, he lowered his voice and said to Gan Fei: "Just say the words of robbers, but now I don't dare to say it, the guest doesn't know what to say, Da Sima took Luoyang, said that he recruited the Central Plains Yingjie, and as a result, many bandits and horse thieves were sealed officials, and those robbers were used to harming the common people, but now it's good, they have directly obeyed the orders of the official's family, who dares to provoke them again? These days, several of the town's business guards have left, and they are becoming more and more afraid to accept this job." ”
The shopkeeper stuck out his tongue and made a helpless expression.
Gan Fei knew that the Great Sima of the Dao Dao had defeated Luoyang and shook the government and the opposition, but he did not know that the Grand Sima of the Dao had also made all the robbers and bandits official, and he seemed to be so indiscriminately rewarded and rewarded indiscriminately, and sooner or later he would lose the support of the people.
Gan Fei pondered for a long time, and suddenly raised his eyes, and saw the thin little child staring at him upright, it seemed that the goat's milk wheat cake had saved his life, and his spirit was a little stronger, so he remembered that he had to find a place to stay tonight, and said that the soft couch hot water is also a luxury that he can't look forward to these days, and he has to rest well today.
"Shopkeeper, I have to ask you, where is there an inn in the town to rest?" Gan Fei swallowed the mutton and shouted loudly, he hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and he was faintly dizzy after swallowing it.
※※※
Gan Fei and the child finally found a small inn in the southwest corner of the town, most of the inns were full of merchants, it seems that this Qiabukan town is really popular, even this inconspicuous inn is only a small room with broken window lattices, ventilation everywhere, fortunately, it is close to summer, and he is not afraid of the cold at night, and when Gan Fei makes a basin of hot water, sits comfortably on the bed covered with broken straw mats and soaks his feet, he feels that he is simply in heaven.
Of course, he didn't forget to freshen up the child, but the child didn't resist, and let Gan Fei wash his face and wipe his body carefully, and he was just stunned with tears in his eyes.
After this grooming, Gan Fei realized that this was a girl, and the ribs on her thin body were exposed by long-term hunger, and she was still mute, and when she thought of her mother, she could only open her mouth and cry silently.
She is not like her mother, although she is still young, she does not have the appearance of a beautiful embryo, her nose and small eyes, her burnt skin color is very different from her mother's, and she also has some signs of epilepsy, the corners of her mouth are slightly tilted to the side, and she twitches a few times from time to time.
Gan Fei carefully washed her clean, pulled her unkempt hair into a bun, only felt that her hair was withered, a little force, she could bring down several hairs, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, little girl doll, in this precarious and troubled world, human life is like a mustard, maybe this appearance is a kind of happiness, at least not like her mother, who died miserably after suffering and humiliation.
The little girl looked at the reflection in the basin of water into a double horned bun, I don't know what she remembered, she suddenly turned around and fell into Gan Fei's arms, tears quickly soaked Gan Fei's clothes, her thin shoulders trembled for a long time, Gan Fei patted the little girl's back wordlessly, he knew that she must have remembered her tragic death of her mother again.
※※※
Gan Fei's original plan was to find a loyal family to entrust him with some more gold bills after saving the little girl, but after a few days, the little girl was inseparable from herself, and her two little hands always grabbed the corners of Gan Fei's clothes, as if she was afraid of losing Gan Fei, but her face was always sad and sad, so that Gan Fei couldn't bear it, the little girl was out of trouble, and she was alone since then, how could she be sent to someone else's house? Gan Fei finally decided, so he took her all the way, and when he saw Mo Yumei, he would sum it up, and if he couldn't do it, he would go back to Jiangnan to find a rich family to adopt, Gan Fei didn't think about sending it to his own Qian's family, one was that he was no longer a qualified demon slayer, and he didn't know that he could return to the court in the year of the monkey;
Gan Fei has found out that this little girl is very sensible, at least not on the surface it looks like she is only eight or nine years old, it is estimated that she should be eleven or twelve years old, because the little girl can't speak, he doesn't know what to call this girl, so it is easy to think of a name, since she was found near this Qiabukan Town, so he called her Qia'er, when she heard this name, the little girl smiled for the first time, and even the always ugly face seemed to have a look. In this way, Qia Er became the little girl's current name.
For the famous roast sheep in the town, Gan Fei has long wanted to taste it, but Qia'er's body is too weak, and he will not recover until the fifth day, so Gan Fei has been accompanying and taking care of her, the only time he went out of the inn, he went to the town with Qia'er on his back to buy a few clothes, not only to buy suitable clothes for Qia'er, but also to get a coat for himself, his original coarse linen clothes have been covered on Qia'er's tragic death of his mother, I don't know whether it was blown away by the mountain wind or rotted with the body bones.
Today the weather is good, the sun is rising, shining on the houses in the town, and even feel a little hot, yes, it is almost summer, the climate here is the same as Jiangnan, and it is very hot in the season.
Gan Fei was wearing a newly bought gauze soft blouse, with a long placket fluttering, and the wind seeped through the gauze clothes, which was very cool, as if he had returned to the time when the disguised scholar went to Pingtaowu, Qia'er was holding a double-horned bun and wearing a dark cyan boy's jacket, which was chosen by Qia Er's own, Gan Fei felt that it was just right, and the little girl was more comfortable wearing the clothes of a male doll, wasn't it?
Seeing that Qia'er was gradually recovering, Gan Fei decided to stay here for another night, the key is to have a good meal, and then go on the road, here is still hundreds of miles away from Luoyang, the garrison of Da Sima, even if you ride a horse, you are afraid that it will take nearly ten days to travel, now there is more Qia'er, and the road can not be delayed for too long.
Gan Fei specially chose to eat the roast sheep at noon, at this time there are relatively few people, the key is that he still has a thought, if it is really delicious, he will sit until the evening, and eat again, and then there is no need to worry about no seat, as for the thin horse, naturally let it stay in the inn stable honestly, the master is to eat meat, the guy eats grass and mixes with what, the only fly in the ointment is that this road can only rely on his own feet step by step to pass, fortunately, before the upcoming delicious, this little fatigue is still worth it.
Gan Fei had already asked the path, and this road was doubly smooth, and when he smelled a strange smell of barbecue in his nose, he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
Ah Shan's roast sheep shop is in the north of the town, but at noon, it is already crowded with people, both admiring and coming, there are also many repeat customers, a few peeled sheep hanging at the door of the store, in front of the store there is a big charcoal fire, there are several iron frames on the fire, the head and tail of the lamb four hooves are open, spread out to be nailed to the iron frame, a shirtless, oily beard from time to time to turn the iron frame, or use his arms to wipe the sweat of the head and face by the charcoal fire.
This is the delicious roast sheep, Gan Fei Dale, look at the crowd, busy with Qia'er to find an empty seat to sit down, said that it is an empty seat, but it is a wooden case covered with a felt carpet, people do not avoid filth and sit cross-legged next to the wooden case, Gan Fei knows that this is the custom of the Hu people, at this moment the index finger is moving, and the roar just wants to eat quickly, where do you still care about these? Xing Chong put down Qia'er, let her sit beside him, and at the same time rubbed his hands excitedly, and stretched out a finger to a fat aunt with a smile who greeted her.
"The guest is ......" The fat aunt was wearing a Xianbei costume, obviously a Donghu person who had emigrated here, but she spoke in Chinese with a Heluo accent, and she couldn't help but be stunned when she looked at a finger stretched out by Gan Fei.
"A sheep, four horns. Gan Fei's expression was solemn and expectant.
The fat aunt will be happy, can't help laughing, her eyes narrowed into a slit: "Yo, how big is the guest's belly, can you eat a sheep? The guest is coming for the first time, our roast sheep here is not only for sale, or a portion of the roast is ordered by you, if according to me, the guest will have a taste of two first, what if it is good...... Just continue to add, this one is a lot, you have to have two or three catties. ”
Gan Fei nodded quickly, and his fingers changed from one to three: "Okay, I want three copies, it's not enough to continue to add." ”
It's another big eater, the fat aunt thought to herself, and agreed with a smile. And in Gan Fei's longing look, he quickly served the mutton and wine in a clay plate.
"Eat!" Gan Fei said briefly to Qia'er, and then couldn't wait to grab the meat, but felt that the roast lamb was hot and fragrant, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and I didn't know what condiments were sprinkled inside, with a slight spicy taste, which complemented the smell of mutton, but it was even more appetizing.
The method of roasting originated from the Hu people, and was introduced to the Central Plains in the Han Dynasty, but most of the scholars in the Central Plains felt that this method of roasting and burning meat was like an uncivilized Ru Mao drinking blood, but it has not been prevalent, until the gathering of Hu people in later generations, this food method was gradually popularized, and this Ashan family's roast sheep is the secret seasoning food of the Xianbei people, and there is a more flavor, Gan Fei while eating happily, while making a satisfied hum, I feel that it really deserves its name, and the sweat flows down from the temples, and he can't care to wipe it; 。
Gan Fei was eating happily, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, suddenly raised his head with some feeling, a young man sat opposite him at some point, looking directly at the barbecue in his hand, what is even more excessive, the young man didn't seem to care about Gan Fei's bulging eyes and stared back, his eyes did not deviate from the barbecue for a moment, and he also stretched out his tongue and licked his mouth, looking salivating.
When others look at you like this, even the delicious food is discounted, Gan Fei hummed dissatisfiedly, reminding the young man to pay attention, and thinking about whether to continue eating under the young man's gaze.
The young man suddenly spoke: "Uncle Yi, I want to eat this." ”
A dry, thin middle-aged man approached the table and said respectfully, "Yes, master." ”
