Chapter 3 Steamed Buns

Since then, the defenders on this pass have been convinced, but whenever they hear the word "swallowing snakes", they are like seeing the ghosts and gods of their ancestors.

After Lin Fengjin entered the customs, he did not pretend to be a private public servant to live in a post station, but planned to find a place to live at will, and the requirements were not high, as long as it was clean and quiet. Unexpectedly, at this time, it was because of the war, so it triggered a large business tide, obviously this time last year was the off-season, but now it is more prosperous than the most prosperous period after the autumn!

In the end, one of the guards of Fu Daoist Wan Yan Nuzhi had relatives here, and found his relative's house, saying that the house and meal money were according to the store price, and the forage money for the horses was doubled, so he found a place to stay.

This relative's family cleaned the house cleanly, vacated two side rooms for them to live in, and saw the horses they rode and knew that the road was extraordinary, so they were more and more careful to receive, and drove their own cattle to the wilderness, and vacated the livestock shed for the mounts, mixed the egg essence, and carefully raised it.

Lin Fengjin and his entourage traveled more than 100 miles in order to hurry today, and everyone was tired, Wanyan Nu directly chewed a few mouthfuls of dry food and lay down on the drawer table next to her, snoring like thunder.

At this time, it was the weather of August and September, very hot, after trekking for so long, the sweat on the whole body was sticky, mixed with dust was extremely uncomfortable, Lin Fengjin took a few people to the end of the street along the way, and happened to see an old well, this well is afraid that it is twenty zhang deep, and the stone wheels tied with ropes on it are deeply sunken and a fist deep. It can be seen that its age is very old.

A few reckless men had the strength, so they opened a bucket of well to pull out cold water, and saw that the water was very clear. There was also a cold air coming up, and according to the people next to him, there was ice on the edge of the bluestone near the water at the bottom of the well.

They coveted the coolness of the water, and immediately took a sip of the water and drank it, feeling that it was clear and sweet, pouring into the belly like an ice line, and suddenly the heat of the long journey was cleared. Immediately put in a few buckets of cold water. Poured from head to toe, it was so comfortable that I couldn't speak. As for the wet placket, this hot weather is even for the night to dry. It's also dry enough.

When they turned around easily, the family also cooked the meal, which was a very famous local steamed bun.

The method of this thing is simple, boiling water in a large pot. Then grind the wheat. Rice, sorghum rice, chopped naan, flour and so on were all thrown in one go, and they kept stirring.

When the various foods in it can't be distinguished from each other, dig a large spoonful of meat oil into it with a spoon, and then add any leftovers in the house, and put some boiled oil residue in it. Wait until the bottom of the pan starts to burn, turn off the heat and sprinkle the verdant white chives on top. Eat and scoop as you go, the flavor is heavy, the oil and water are all together,

The layer of pot stickers that are shoveled up when the pot is most scorched and fragrant, and the children are most proud of this, which is a common meal for local poor families when they are entertaining.

As soon as the people were full of food and drink, they washed off the wind and dust, and they were cool and comfortable, and naturally they were sleepy. But the strange thing is that Lin Fengjin can't sleep when he lies on the bed, speaking of which he is not a pampered person, and he usually has no habit of insomnia, but I don't know what Lu Dao is doing today, the more he sleeps, the hotter he is, the hotter he sweats, and the last he only feels that the mat is sticky sweat, so he simply stands up and walks into the yard to move and feels a little better.

However, inside these four victory passes, there are earthen walls and dirt roads everywhere, and people at this time can not be expected to have a sense of greening, and there are no plants at all, so it is boring to stay outside for a long time, Lin Fengjin suddenly remembered the sweetness of the well water, and carried a washing handkerchief obliquely on his shoulder and walked outside.

Even at this time, when I saw that the lights were bright and many people were hurrying back and forth, I knew that the hunger and thirst for grassland products in the inland market had indeed reached a blowout-like level, and the huge profits directly caused even the symbolic curfew in the customs to be lifted.

Of course, it is precisely because of such abundant oil and water that the guards of Sishengguan will take out 400,000 stone grain for hundreds of thousands of Dongxia people's heads, because for him, even if he pays the 400,000 stone grain out of his own pocket, it is enough to get it. Promotions make a fortune, only when you are promoted, can you make a fortune!

Lin Fengjin thought about it, and walked to the well, at this time it was already late at night, and of course there were very few people who came out to fetch water. However, Lin Fengjin's sense of smell was extremely sensitive, and he smelled a faint smell of blood from a distance.

He immediately looked at it, and saw two young men in very tattered clothes washing a little lamb next to the well water, and the two ragged young men also looked a little wrong, looking around, their eyes were full of horror. And the little lamb was only about a month or two years old, and where would ordinary people be willing to slaughter it?

Of course, Lin Fengjin didn't have any interest in being Bao Qingtian, and what he was thinking in his mind was that he would take a shower and go back to bed early, and he would continue to hurry tomorrow, so he quickened his pace, but he didn't expect his footsteps to speed up, and he was seen by these two teenagers.

These two children were first-time offenders, and it was inevitable to be thieves, and for them, suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps from the darkness, followed by an adult striding over!!

Such a scene was a little too exciting for them, who were already frightened birds, and suddenly the two children screamed, and they didn't dare to go back and run away with a crying voice! How did Lin Fengjin know that such a situation would occur? He could only smile bitterly and shake his head.

After he finished showering, he saw the tender lamb next to him, thinking that if he didn't take it, the weather would be so big that it would stink tomorrow, so it was better to take it back now and let the landlord cook it, and there would be food tomorrow morning, so he honestly and unceremoniously came to take the sheep.

However, Lin Fengjin had just walked out a few steps, and suddenly saw that around the corner behind him, the two children rushed out again, one of them could only cry and kowtow, and the other knelt down and cried and said:

"Uncle, we shouldn't steal your sheep, but my father is sick, and he is going to die, and he wants to eat roast mutton before he dies, and this lamb is also dead, you want to beat, scold, or punish at will, just to fulfill my father's wish before he died, I will be a slave to your family for a lifetime!"

Lin Fengjin listened to the words of these two children, and he was also a little sad in his heart, he only saw that these two teenagers were unfamiliar with their methods, and they were not habitual offenders, but they didn't expect that there was such a miserable thing hidden behind them, and the two brothers seemed to be quite filial.

After he smiled, he planned to throw the lamb to the two children, but he couldn't expect that there was a fire shining behind him, and two stout women were born out of nowhere, and the fire light saw the lamb that was washed and peeled in Lin Fengjin's hand, and the sharp shouting and scolding immediately tore through the night sky, while scolding frantically, the foul language can be said to be endless, and at the same time he chased after him, and he was still carrying a rolling pin or something like that

Obviously, in this case, it would be too stupid to still stand and distinguish things like that, Lin Fengjin would not make such a mistake, he immediately turned around and fled, of course, he did not forget to drag the two children. Of course, these two women refused to give up and chased after them fiercely.

However, when the two of them ran to the well, they suddenly found that a lot of copper coins and broken silver had fallen in the conspicuous place, and they hurriedly went to pick them up, and the results added up to the fact that there was a surplus to buy two new lambs, and the two fat women ran so far in the hot weather, and the inside of their mouths was even more non-stop.

Of course, there will be no broken silver on the ground suddenly, this is naturally Lin Fengjin's hands and feet, and after running a few hundred meters with the two children, he stopped and said:

"Alright, they won't be chasing. ”

And he handed the sheep over. These two children are also quite clever, of course, they know that Lin Fengjin helped them, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed with tears in his eyes, but Lin Fengjin wanted to leave but dragged him, saying that his home was in front, and he must ask Lin Fengjin to go in and sit down and drink a sip of water.

Lin Fengjin didn't want to go, but he was not familiar with the streets here, if he went back at this time, he could only go back the same way, in case the two fierce women were still greedy after they found the silver, and continued to chase after them, wouldn't they be touched by them? That kind of situation is really making people's scalps explode just thinking about it.

To tell the truth, although Lin Fengjin wanted to kill them without much effort, he would not be to the point of being like this kind of country shrew, and he would kill people when he had a quarrel with them, and he was still a woman......... That can only be described as a loss of humanity and madness.

So Lin Feng thought about it and felt that it was good to go in and drink saliva to avoid the limelight, so he followed the two children into the alley next to him, and then opened a door and walked in.

After entering, Lin Fengjin found that it was still quite spacious, and it was actually a courtyard house, which was somewhat inconsistent with the identity of the two children stealing sheep. But he soon realized that the size of the house was only a superficial phenomenon, and the inside could only be described as "the four walls of the house", which showed that everything that could be sold had been sold.

Lin Fengjin continued to walk in, and saw an old man in the side room next to him with red and swollen eyes, his face full of vicissitudes, and his hands were calloused, and he was in a daze watching the steaming medicine from the stove next to him. (To be continued......)
