Bianshanhan [farming]

On the first day of the new year, Li Qingwen fell asleep.

He was indeed drunk. Others woke up in the morning, but he slept for a day and a night.

He didn't wake up, and the old man was a little worried, but with Li Qingzhuo around, he kept feeling his pulse, and knew that his brother was just asleep and there was nothing serious about it.

Li Qingwen didn't wake up, and the people in the room weren't hungry either. After all, they had prepared food for several days, and some of them could be eaten after being steamed or fried in a pot.

Most of the people in the capital didn't go out, so they didn't know that all the city gates and imperial roads were covered in blood, especially in the imperial city.

The old man tried his best to persuade Li Qingrui and the others that they only need to open a Yangxiezi restaurant, no other dishes are needed, just a Yangxiezi is enough, and he can help choose the shop and negotiate the rent.

The sheep scorpion looks like a pot and a pot, but it is actually very simple. The sheep bones are bleeding, put enough seasonings, and cook for a certain amount of time.

Li Qingrui was a little moved when he heard it, and he pulled Li Qingwen, Li Qinghong and others to think about it. Li Qingzhuo was combing the child's hair while listening.

The little baby neither misses home nor cries, and has a swollen belly, allowing Li Qingzhuo to move.

The old man's chest slapped, and Li Qinghong was a little moved when he heard it. As soon as he was thinking, Li Qingwen could see it, and he said: "Sheep bone soup is tonic, after gnawing the bones, the remaining soup can be reheated. Put vegetables or meat, cook them slimly, and then eat them with sesame juice and seasonings, the taste is also good.”

When he said a word, everyone looked over with enthusiastic and excited eyes, "Then what are you waiting for, let's have a meal at noon!"

Fang's family knows how to live, and the bone soup of the sheep scorpion is still in the basin, so he brought it out from the hut after hearing the words.

Hearing from Li Qingwen that the fire should be lit all the time, the clay stove was brought into the room, the table was leaning on one side, and the clay pot with frozen sheep bone soup was placed directly on top of the clay stove to start burning.

Fang rolled out the noodles on the chopping board. Li Qingwen originally wanted to chop the vegetables, but Li Qinghong took the kitchen knife away, "Zaier, what do you want to cut, third brother."

It’s not difficult to just chop vegetables. After all, there are only tofu, cabbage, radish, spinach, scallions and fresh coriander. Pour some sesame juice into each bowl. look like.

The mutton is all frozen, and it can only be cut after it has been thawed in the house. Although the meat slices are a bit thick, but thinking that big guys love meat, it’s fine.

Li Qinghong is not very good at getting minced garlic. Li Qingwen put the garlic on the wooden board after peeling it, beat it with a heavy kitchen knife, and then cut it. The finely minced garlic will be fine.

Fang's side has almost started cutting noodles, and the clay pots on the clay stove are starting to steam. Each of the big guys has a bowl of sesame juice in his hand, and his eyes are fixed on Li Qingwen, watching him casually squeeze a handful of chopped green onion, chopped coriander and Throw minced garlic into a bowl, and start stirring with chopsticks.

"You can add whatever you like, and don't add whatever you don't like." Li Qingwen explained: "Like me, you must add vinegar when dipping this. You can do it according to your own taste."

Everyone understood, Li Qingwen went to the back, sprinkled white flour on the freshly cut noodles, and while spreading, rolled up and shook it off, almost every noodle was covered with flour, so there was no fear of it becoming a lump.

Fang smiled while cutting, "Little boy, you know a lot."

She wanted to say that Li Qingwen was better than the cooks of those rich families, but when she thought about it, her brother was not a servant, so it was not good to bring them together.

Received a letter from a man from the border town, saying what he ate today and what he ate tomorrow. When Fang saw it, he didn't believe it a hundred times, and decided it was a lie to comfort his family.She knew all those people, none of them cooked a whole meal on the stove, and the rice was fully cooked, as long as it didn't stick to the pot, don't even think about this dish or that dish.

But she didn't say it, because she was afraid that her in-laws would be worried. Later, when she got together with the people who were sent to the border town, the big guys opened their mouths to talk about the letter. Almost every letter mentioned that the food is good, eating meat every day, Fang's Still dubious.

It wasn't until Li Qingwen went to the back kitchen after arriving in the capital that Fang finally realized that what was said in the letter was true, and that this younger brother of the Li family really knew how to mess with food.

Li Qingwen smiled modestly, and urged Fang to wash his hands and go to the front for dinner.

The two put the noodles on the chopping board to dry. At this time, a lot of vegetables and meat slices had been placed in the clay pot, and they were boiling until they were bubbling. When they came, they were all there, and their eager chopsticks stretched out to the clay pot.

The mutton bone soup has a good taste. After the meat slices are cooked, the soup tastes into the meat. You don’t need to dip it in. The vegetables and meat can be eaten directly in your mouth.

The clay stove and pottery pots are not big, and a group of big men are holding food around the small pots. This scene is really funny, but they can't go out, so they can only use what they have at home.

The food cooked in bone soup is delicious, and when dipped in the sesame juice prepared in the bowl, it is salty and fragrant, and everyone can't wait to swallow their tongues.

Just as a group of people were sweating profusely from eating shabu-shabu, the crisis approached the pier three hundred miles away.

The crew members who were ordered to stay on the shore put up tents one by one. They could have spent a warm New Year on board, but no one expected to encounter such a bad thing, and everyone was full of resentment.

Jiang Cong met the soldiers from Hongzhou who came to the capital to stay in the guard on the boat. Needless to say, there was no need to talk about the old days. Because of him, these exiles in Linsu got a lot of dry food.

Yes, these government soldiers were also unlucky. They came out to guard the pier and were ordered to travel urgently, and they all brought hard dry food.

But they know better than the crew, and they understand that the capital is not stable now, and it is better to drink the northwest wind here than to drink spicy food in the capital.

On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Cui Wu, Ding Jie and other leaders of the government soldiers were called together, and the leader of the Xiaocai Army took out a token and ordered everyone to leave the dock immediately and go to the capital to catch the rebels.

However, before he finished speaking, Lin Jian, as the deputy commander, raised his knife and dropped the leader's head. Lin Jian held the blood-stained token and publicly reprimanded him for falsely passing the decree, but in fact he was a fellow traitor. If the party goes to the capital, it is a rebellion.

Lin Jian ordered everyone to continue guarding the pier and not to let anyone escape from here, otherwise they would be executed for violating military orders.

Lin Jian was obviously well prepared. He knew all the soldiers in Hongzhou Prefecture like the palm of his hand, and he knew all the captains and deputy captains. The two rows of soldiers next to him had their hands on the handles of their knives. As long as Ding Jie and the others dared to ask questions, the fate could be imagined.

The Xiaocavalry Army is the twelve guards of the capital, and the local government soldiers are under the command of the Twelve Guards. Lin Jian got the token of the Xiaocavalry Army, and all the government soldiers in Hongzhou have to be at his command.

Ding Jie and the others knew that things must have changed in the capital.

After expressing their allegiance, Ding Jie and others were released. Taking advantage of the night, the Xiaocai Army suppressed another group of cronies of the former leader.

The lieutenants of more than a dozen battalions in Hongzhou came out with weak hind legs. Damn, this is the first time such a terrible event has happened, and their backs are soaked in sweat.

Although it was covered by the night, Jiang Cong sensed that something was wrong, so he didn't wander around, and he did wait for Ding Jie, Cui Wu and others.

Ding Jie called him aside, held Jiang Cong tightly, whispered something in a low voice, and kept shaking Jiang Cong's hand.

Most of these government soldiers are working in their hometowns, and the forces in the capital are not clear. This time they have been involved in the battle for the throne. It is undoubtedly the sword in the hands of others. They dare not stop making swords, but they don't know whose it is. knife.They first told Jiang Cong about the funeral, even if they died, the gang at the head of the family would still have to live.

Ding Jie and the others wanted to let Jiang Cong run away secretly, but Jiang Cong disagreed. He looked in the direction of the capital. Li Qingwen and the people from Yangshu Village were there, so he would definitely not leave alone.

He reached out to Ding Jie for the clothes of the government soldiers, Ding Jie raised his hand and gave him a slap, forcing a low growl from the bottom of his throat, "Bastard, you have to recognize your current identity, if you don't take this sample money , don't get involved in these fights!"

"Jiang Cong, listen to your Uncle Ding." Lao Song persuaded from the side: "Although you are in a border town, what will happen in the future is uncertain. Don't die for someone who doesn't know."

Jiang Cong said: "Uncle, if you don't give it, I will have to grab it."

As long as he wanted to, he could get what he wanted in the dark. Ding Jie and the others also knew that, seeing Jiang Cong's insistence on his face and gnashing his back molars, they could only get what he wanted.

They also didn't want to alarm the Xiaocai Army because of this incident.

In this way, Jiang Cong got what he wanted as he wished, and sneaked into Ding Jie's camp in the dark.

On the evening of the second day of the Lunar New Year, the sky was filled with fiery clouds, which were red and red, reflecting blood in everyone's eyes.

There was a sound of drums in the distance, and Jiang Cong lay on the ground, pressed his ears to the cold ground, and said, "A horse is coming, more than a thousand riders."

As soon as he finished speaking, the drum beats became more intense. It was a signal from the sentries ahead, but the soldiers in Hongzhou didn't know what the drum sound meant. The Xiaocavalry led by Lin Jian had already issued an order to guard the pier.

Night fell slowly, and in the distance, two large ships were slowly approaching the pier.

The dense sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, and everyone clenched their weapons, but the sound of horseshoes stopped two miles away from the pier.

Lin Jian sent someone to investigate, but there was no response. Jiang Cong was calm. He knew that this battle might be about to start.

He told Ding Jie and the others to be careful, the sound of horseshoes sounded again, and just as he saw some shadows ahead, there were countless crackling sounds in the sky, and a crossbow arrow struck head-on.

There was a wailing sound in an instant, and a strong bloody atmosphere diffused.

"Shield up!!"

Many soldiers in Hongzhou also fell, and Cui Wu was shot in the shoulder by an arrow. Jiang Cong bent over, held up his shield, and dragged him and the other injured people to hide.

Under Jiang Cong's loud shout, other people also held their shields and moved closer to form a shield wall to block the arrows.

In such a rain of arrows, there is no other way but to hide.

They were hiding, and the Xiaocai Army was also hiding, and at the same time they were giving orders, as soon as the rain of arrows stopped, everyone would immediately kill them.
