Chapter Seventy-Five: Chess

"Old man, go get some wild pheasant eggs!" Jiang Xingchen said with a grin.

This time he asked for wild pheasant eggs not just for eating, in addition to pigs, horses, letter birds, speed eagles, and a kind of sheep beast similar to sheep, there are basically no domesticated animals by humans, I heard that there are many domesticated beasts on the side of the orc alliance, but after all, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and it is difficult to eat an egg! So he suddenly thought just now, is it possible to artificially incubate wild pheasant eggs, and then raise them in captivity!

Of course, this is just an idea, he understands that it is not easy to hatch successfully, and he only knows to maintain a certain temperature. But no matter how you have to try, if you do it, you will not succeed, and if you don't do it, you will definitely not succeed.

"Go!" the old man waved his hand and pouted, "How easy do you think that thing is! The wild pheasant's hiding is very secretive, and I was lucky the first two times! Now the snow is getting thicker and thicker, and I can't find it!"

Jiang Xingchen didn't pay attention to how difficult it was for the old man to say, and said with a smile: "As long as you find it, I will make you a haode!"

The old man's eyes lit up, his eyes rolled, and he said disdainfully: "Scrambled eggs on flatbread, I'll watch it once, and I still need you to make it!"

"Who told you it was scrambled eggs?"

"What's that?" the old man's eyes brightened.

"If you look for it, it's useless to tell you now!" Jiang Xingchen waved his hand.

"It's not impossible for me to go looking for it, but in addition to making a haode, you also need to get some of the kind of wine you used when you operated on Xin'er!" the old man pursed his lips.

"Don't forget it, you can go and have dinner with Han Xiaowu and them in the future!" When Jiang Xingchen heard this, he turned around directly, pulled Mei'er and left.

"Hey, don't go!" The old man saw that Jiang Xingchen didn't have the slightest intention of bargaining, so he hurriedly stopped him and said with a smile: "Boy, look at this cold day, it's still snowing, I'm so old......"

"I'm the second Ao! Old guy, can you be thicker-skinned, a great master of the dignified Yuan Qi realm, he actually pretends to be pitiful and says that he is old...... Look at what you're wearing, we've got leather pants and cotton pants here, and you're still wearing a single shirt......"

Jiang Xingchen looked at the old man speechlessly, with an expression that he couldn't stand you.

As soon as he saw Jiang Xingchen's expression, the old man knew that the tactics of pretending to be pitiful had failed, and his face turned pale, and he said: "Go and go, but if you can't make something delicious when you come back, I'm not done with you!"

"Hehe, you'll be satisfied!" Jiang Xingchen said and walked out!

Chop meat, live stuffing, noodles, and knead...... Jiang Xingchen and Mei'er were busy working together, while the old man was watching from the side, and he had been by Jiang Xingchen's side for more than 20 days, but he really hadn't eaten dumplings, and at first he thought that Jiang Xingchen was making soup dumplings again.

However, when he saw that Jiang Xingchen didn't make the meat skin jelly, and Mei'er's rolled skin was smaller than the bun, he realized that he was wrong.

And Jiang Xingchen was full of praise for Mei'er, smiling and nodding. This girl is learning things too fast, it's only been a long time, and the dumpling skin is about to catch up with herself, round and fast!

A month later, the white and crystal dumplings came out of the pot, and the old man pursed his lips, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and couldn't wait to reach out.

"Wait a minute, old man!" Mei'er hurriedly protected the dumplings and said, "Send them to Sister Xin'er first!"

"Isn't that girl going to eat as little meat as possible, this is meat!" the old man said, his eyes never taking off the dumplings.

"It's been more than ten days, and she can already eat! She lost a lot of blood during the operation, and she also needs to supplement her nutrition!" Jiang Xingchen explained, and asked Mei'er to send the dumplings to Xin'er.

didn't wait long, the second pot of dumplings came out of the pot, just put it on the table, and the old man who was not in a hurry took action, moved the chopsticks like the wind, picked one up and threw it in his mouth.

"Woo~ Not bad, it's not much worse than filling soup dumplings!" The old man inhaled, chewed, and commented.

After eating seven or eight in a row, the old man saw two bowls in front of Mei'er and Jiang Xingchen, poured vinegar into them, and then dipped them in dumplings to eat.

"Uh!" The old man blinked, seeing Jiang Xingchen and Mei'er's playful smiles, he felt like a turtle......

"Squeak!" At this time, the kitchen door opened, and Nier's little head stuck in: "Sir, Sister Mei'er, old man, are eating......"

"Little girl, let's eat and drink again!" Before Jiang Xingchen could ask, the old man smiled and spoke.

Since this little girl had eaten Jiang Xingchen's cooking, she would run here as soon as she arrived at the meal. Her grandmother and Shi Wazi didn't listen to what she said several times, and once Shi Wazi almost slapped her, but Jiang Xingchen was still protecting her.

Niel pouted and blushed and whispered, "I ......"

"Flutter!" Seeing that Nier was told by the old man and didn't want to admit it, Mei'er laughed suddenly.

Jiang Xingchen also laughed, this little girl's cute appearance is attractive when she looks at it, so she raised her hand and said, "Come here!"

"Hey!" When the little girl saw Jiang Xingchen speak, she immediately bent her eyes, and immediately threw away her previous embarrassment, and ran directly to the table.

"It's so fragrant!" Nier pursed her mouth, swallowed her saliva, and asked, "Lord Jiang, what are you eating?

"This is a dumpling! Sit down and eat with us......"

"Xiexie Lord Jiang!" the corners of Nier's mouth curled, and her eyes narrowed!

"Nier, come, sit down at my sister's!" Mei'er patted her side.

"Okay!" the little girl crawled to Mei'er's side.

The old man looked at Jiang Xingchen, who was taking care of Nier with a smile, and said secretly in his heart: "Although this kid was promoted from a commoner, he has always been a nobleman before, why doesn't he have a little bit of the shelf that a nobleman should have...... The little girls of the civilians dare to run over to eat, and the big men of the Heavenly Mercenary Regiment, if it weren't for Du Rushan's management, they would definitely have come over a long time ago, and they would definitely not eat the food cooked by the villagers......"

If ordinary people are like this, although they can maintain a normal heart and will not be contaminated with the bad habits that many nobles have, they will also lose their awe because they are too easy-going. However, the old man knew that Jiang Xingchen would not be like this, whether it was Tang Chuxue's evaluation or his observations these days, Jiang Xingchen was very strong in his bones, and he was by no means like his appearance. If he decides, no one can pull it back. This can be seen from the fact that Qingyun and Huangshi are unable to get distilled spirits.

"This kid, I'm afraid I won't be able to come out with a ...... for decades" The old man sighed again, no longer pondered this, and stretched out his chopsticks......

A total of more than 160 dumplings were wrapped, and there were less than forty left, Jiang Xingchen looked at the old man and Nier who were holding their stomachs, leaning on the chair and being too lazy to move, and sighed in his heart: "Sure enough, foodies are regardless of age, regardless of gender, regardless of borders, regardless of ......."

Picking up the remaining dumplings into a plate, Jiang Xingchen said, "Old man, you can go on a trip, send Ni'er back, give these dumplings to Grandma Yun, and let Tie Dan'er taste them too!"

"Xiexie Lord Jiang!" Niel laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth.

Not long after, at Grandma Yun's house, Shi Wazi and Grandma Yun were eating dumplings and exclaiming, they had never eaten such delicious food in their lives.

Nier looked at the iron egg that was grabbing the dumplings and munching on them and kept muttering: "Brother, you have eaten six, give me a few left......"

The snow continued to fall, and the temperature continued to drop, but the house with the fire on the kang was very warm.

In the lord's mansion, Mei'er was holding a rag doll, and she was pestering Jiang Xingchen to draw crayons for her. But this time, Jiang Xingchen said that he wouldn't paint anything.

Of course Mei'er didn't want to, and kept babbling in his ear like a broken mouth, and she didn't stop for two months.

zuihou, Jiang Xingchen's head is big, and his ears are full of buzzing sounds, so he has to use the Qiankun Great Shifting Technique to divert the little girl's attention: "Obedient! You go to bed quickly, and I will make you a new game tomorrow morning!"

Sure enough, the little girl was successfully attracted by the new game, stopped nagging, and went to sleep with a rag doll......

Early the next morning, Jiang Xingchen found a piece of wood, took a knife and started to work.

"Brother, what kind of game are you playing this time?" asked Mei'er curiously, watching from the sidelines.

"This is called chess!" Jiang Xingchen said, and began to smile proudly in his heart: "Little girl, this depends on how you win me, I was the champion of the department back then......"

Soon after, the chess was done, and Jiang Xingchen began to hand over the rules to Mei'er: the horse walks the day, the elephant walks the field, the cannon hits the next one, and the car walks away......

Mei'er showed great interest, and after listening to the rules, she immediately opened Jiashi to start a war.

I have never played chess, where to play Guo Jiang Xingchen, an old oilman, started less than a dozen moves, and Mei'er was checkmate like chopping melons and vegetables.

However, the little girl was not at all unhappy, and continued to start! This time, she thought about it for a long time, and she had to ponder each step for a while.

Keep losing, come again! Lose again, come again...... Mei'er became more and more obsessed, and she didn't even know that Xin'er had entered the house.

Jiang Xingchen was very happy, although it was not fun to play chess with the stinky chess basket, but he was also very happy to be able to recover the shame of losing even five sons.

I have to say that chess is really addictive, and even the people who are watching from the sidelines are addicted to it after understanding the rules. The three of them didn't even notice it was past lunchtime.

When the old man came back from outside, he was still depressed because he didn't find the pheasant eggs. But after standing next to them and watching them for a while, they also put themselves into it, and miraculously did not shout to eat.

zuihou, Jiang Xingchen's stomach was hungry, and he found out that it was already afternoon.

"Okay! Don't go down yet, let's talk about it after eating!" Jiang Xingchen stood up.

"You go get some food first, I'll have two plates with Mei'er!" As soon as Jiang Xingchen got his ass, the old man occupied the pit.

Mei'er looked up at her brother, and then at the old man playing chess opposite, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a snickering smile. The little girl lost in a row just now, although she didn't show anything, but it doesn't mean that her heart is happy! Now it's finally delivered to the door......

"Hey, old man, you ask for more blessings!" With Jiang Xingchen's understanding of Mei'er, the old man is going to be unlucky.
