Chapter 29: Princess, Do You Still Lack Guards?

Fragrant! Very fragrant!

In the woods, in the air, there is a rich smell of meat.

It's not a unique taste of beef or lamb, but a smell they've never smelled before.

In addition to the meat itself, there is also a hint of sweetness and a hint of sweetness.

"Who's cooking so extravagantly? Actually use maltose? ”

In the Dasheng Dynasty, there were not many ways for people to obtain sweetness.

Maltose is one of the most commonly used ingredients.

However, maltose is made from wheat seedlings, and wheat is grain.

In ancient times, when food was expensive, abusing wheat seedlings just to get sweetness was definitely spoiling food.

It's like wine.

Wine is also made from grain, and many dynasties have banned alcohol in order to avoid wasting food by the powerful from making wine.

Maltose is about the same.

"Maybe it's not maltose, it's bee candy."

"Don't forget, those who follow the Holy Driver West to tour Shujing, there are still many big families, powerful royal families."

Bee candy is a natural honey, and in the absence of artificial domesticated honey, it belongs to the "mountain treasure" and is more precious.

The mountain people occasionally picked it, but they were reluctant to eat it, and would sell it to the nobles at a high price.

"In the end, it's a nobleman, when is this, and the food is still so exquisite."

Holding the black and hard bean cake, looking at the soup boiling in the cauldron, the sour taste of the vinegar cloth alone rushed directly into the noses of the soldiers.

They know the reality that "Zhumen's dog meat stinks, and there are frozen bones on the road", but in the past, Zhumen was closed, and the soldiers from ordinary people couldn't see the brocade clothes and jade food behind Zhumen, and they were drunk with gold.

Now, everyone is on the way to escape, there is no shelter between the nobles and the common people, the extravagance of the nobles and the misery of the common people, the comparison is particularly obvious.

Especially these soldiers, they eat bran and swallow vegetables by themselves, drink the water that the nobles' dogs don't drink, and use their lives to protect these magnates.

How willingly are they?

"Hmph, now you still dare to put the nobleman's score, and when the rebels chase after you, you will look good!"

I took a bite of the bean cake hard, obviously with the roughness of the bean dregs, and my throat hurt.

The soldiers scolded hatefully, and the domineering fragrance in the air made the seeds of rebellion in their hearts take root and grow wildly.

Suddenly, someone sniffed hard, as if to discern what was smelling.

"Dog, what do you smell? Tell me about you kid, your name is Dog, how come people are like dogs, and you have a dog's nose? ”

"Dog! Don't smell it, that meat is used by other people's nobles, and you can't eat it if you smell it. ”

The veteran ruffians sitting around laughed and teased when they saw the small movements of this young soldier named Gouzi.

"That's not right! The scent is near! ”

"Yaya, brothers, it's really getting closer and closer to us."

The dog was an orphan, and he grew up with his father's robe.

Then he was selected by the Sixteen Guards and entered the Qianniu Guard.

He's not the son of the powerful.

The children of the powerful enter Qianniuwei, which is basically gilded.

Make a name and make some merits, and you can be promoted.

However, Qianniuwei can't all be related households, there are still people who have to endure hardships and work hard.

The dog is the bottom of the work.

The only fortunate thing is that some of the veterans of Qianniuwei are my father's former brothers.

They take care of the dogs as if they were their own nephews.

As for the dogs, they also really respect them, either by calling them yes (father) or by being called brother.

He was fifteen or sixteen years old, tall, but very thin.

If you want to be like a bamboo pole, you don't have much combat effectiveness.

The only specialty is that he has a very sensitive nose.

The veterans taught him to identify horse manure by smell, and then to tell when the cavalry left according to its freshness.

It is also a very useful skill on the battlefield.

However, the dog is young and has not officially been on the battlefield.

His dog's nose, too, didn't really play a role.

Therefore, the veterans only know that the dog has a dog nose, but they don't know how good his dog nose is.

"Dog, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, and the fragrance is getting closer and closer to us."

"Hahaha, what kind of people are we, those who work and block guns in Qianniuwei, even if there are good things, it won't be our turn."

"Yes, in the barracks next door, people have meat and salt. They're the real Qianniuwei. ”

The veterans didn't believe the dog's words at all, giggling and laughing at themselves.

"yes, yes, I'm telling the truth."

The dog was in a hurry, he really smelled it.

According to his speculation, the fragrance was only a dozen paces away from him.

"Really? Haha, could it be that someone else sent us something good? ”

A veteran with a short beard who laughed the loudest.

"Eun Gong! I've finally found you! ”

A voice of surprise came from far and near.

The short-bearded veteran was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and saw a somewhat familiar fat man.

"Zhu, Chef Zhu?"

Isn't this the imperial chef who was killed by His Majesty last night because of a bowl of rice.

It was the turn of the short-bearded man to guard outside the courtyard, and when he heard the eunuch's call, he followed another brother to do the order.

Seeing that Chef Zhu was wronged and pitiful, and there were some sad feelings about the death of a rabbit and a fox, the two Qianniu Wei were dizzy for a while, so they secretly let the person go.

Originally, they thought that Chef Zhu would run away directly.

When he left, the army was in chaos, and His Majesty couldn't see anyone, so naturally he wouldn't think much about it.

Unexpectedly, this fat eunuch was so bold, not only did he not escape, but he also found it.

Looking at his surprised appearance, he must have followed all the way and was still looking for a benefactor.

"You man, I saved you kindly, how can you repay your kindness?"

The short-bearded veteran was a little annoyed and cursed in a low voice.

"Engong, I'm wronged, I, I've now voted for the princess."

"I don't know anything but cooking."

"It just so happened that Fang Fang made a rare delicacy in the world, so I thought about sending it to Engong."

Chef Zhu is holding a large bowl of braised pork, which is oily in color and fragrant.

Mahjong-sized pieces of meat, fat and thin, even if you just look at it and smell it, there is an inexplicable enjoyment.

The short beard was stunned for a moment, "You voted for the princess?" ”

So, the matter of His Majesty's death has passed?

So, this fat cook is really here to repay his kindness?

"That's right! However, the princess has always kept a low profile and is reluctant to make a statement. I also ask Eun Gong to continue to help me keep it secret. ”

"This is braised pork, the first in the world, and please taste it."

With that, Chef Zhu brought the bowl to the short beard.

The short beard and the veterans all couldn't help but sniff and drool.

Fragrant! It's so fragrant!

Unexpectedly, soldiers at the lowest level like them would have the opportunity to eat the first delicious food in this world.

Everyone also has an inexplicable affection for the mysterious princess.

When the braised pork that is thin but not woody, fat but not greasy, and wants to eat the soft and delicious, soft and delicious braised pork in their mouths, everyone has an impulse: Princess, do you still lack guards?
