Xie Liu snorted, and said: "Useless things! All right, just according to your opinion, ask someone to draw up a decree tomorrow, send someone to reprimand him first, and then prepare some things to take there. Xiaoshiqi go In a hurry, he brought winter clothes, winter rice, and silver charcoal for him, and then looked at what else he lacked. In the past, the palace prepared things for the county king for the New Year. Is there any preparation for this year? If not, immediately Raise a copy, and if you have any, bring them over. I see what else he has to say!"

Eunuch Lin led Xie Liu back to the dragon couch, knelt to help him take off his boots, and said, "Yes, yes. The servant will do it immediately, and I will guarantee it to be delivered to the Seventeenth County King before the New Year's Day. What else does your lord have?" Tell me, if not, please drink a bowl of calming soup and rest earlier."

Xie Liu threw off his outer robe and got on the couch, just about to lie down, he put it up again, and said, "Go, bring Shi Yu's report, I will casually flip through it before going to bed."

Xie Qian's letter had already annoyed the emperor so much. Seeing that the night was getting darker and darker, the emperor could not sleep for a few hours and it was time to go to court early. What report did he need to read? !

Thinking of this, Eunuch Lin paused, and said with a distressed face: "This—"

Xie Liu lay down, lowered her voice, and said: "It's okay, Shi Yu has always done things in a safe and proper manner, and will not report those fancy things. I will take a look at what Seventeen does every day, and I can use it as a sleep aid."

Eunuch Lin had no choice but to take He Feiyun's report, hand it to Emperor Xie Liu, and then silently retreat outside the house to watch the night.

In Chang'an Palace, the lights were lit up, presumably someone was destined to be unable to sleep peacefully.But at this time, Xie Qian was in the distant Xiying, sleeping on all fours, not knowing what night it was.

It's no wonder that he doesn't care about his image, physical labor and so on are really tiring, so tired that he saw He Feiyun these days, even if he had that kind of obsessive heart, he didn't really have the strength—he didn't even have the strength for his arms. It's so sore that I can't lift it up!

Fortunately, the rice grain bought in Jinyang City saved Xiying from the urgent winter.But in such a huge Shu County, tens of thousands of county residents are still struggling on the verge of starvation.When Xiying had enough food and clothing for the Xiying Relief Transfer Station, Xie Qian resolutely began to hope to help more county residents.

That being said, Xie Qian slapped his head when he got up early, thinking that when it was time to celebrate, he still needed to celebrate in a grand and lively way.Seeing that the second batch of large-scale planted vegetables was about to be harvested, he grabbed all the idle cooks early in the morning and held a sudden emergency meeting.

The central topic is: it's the New Year's Eve, and Xiying needs to host a big event. It's better to hit the sun than to choose a date, so let's choose the [-]th day of the New Year's Eve.

In a word, Zhang Ergou, who made all the cooks stare blankly, complained everywhere, and became more and more tempered, even rolled up his arms and sleeves and directly copied the guy to beat him up.

What the hell... what dog king!

What do you mean it's better to hit the sun than to choose the day!

The big guy himself has not been able to live a peaceful life since he left Chang'an.Today everyone is responsible for feeding a population that far exceeds the workload.The culprit was hoarding meat last time, but this time, is he planning to start with other grain stores? !

Think beautifully!No way!Get out of here!

Xie Qian ran away with his head in his arms, Zhang Ergou chased him and walked around Xiying for more than half a circle.Xie Qian worked for many days, and his physical fitness improved. Not long after he got rid of people and ran back, he yelled at the cooks who were still glaring at him: "No! The king of this county wants it! I want it! If you can't do it, you can find a way OK!!"

The tall and thin cook is now much thinner and taller.He has been scolding for a long time, but to be honest, no matter how unreliable Xie Qian is, he is also their boss. Once he gets angry, there is really not much to do except for them to compromise.

He said: "Your Majesty, if you want to exhaust the twenty of us to death, you can finish it as soon as possible. Why do you have to increase the workload again and again to torture us?"

Xie Qian rolled his eyes and said in disbelief, "Why did you say that?"

The thin and tall man said: "With the addition of the cooking soldiers assigned to study from the West Camp, it's already exhausting to be in charge of three meals for thousands of people. The last barbecue was nothing more than that. With the help of the brothers from the Flying Eagle Army, we can always prepare it. But if we want to prepare a New Year’s feast, even if we don’t eat, drink, sleep and sleep, we can’t come up with a decent recipe, and we don’t have the time to make exquisite dishes ! I suggest you always give us a straight knife!"

Xie Qian was surprised and said: "No, making a dumpling is killing you all? Isn't it so?"

The tall and thin man was stunned, and the cursing cooks around him also fell silent.There was an embarrassing silence in the scene, only Zhang Ergou's "Xie Qian, I'll kill you—" roar from far away.

Xie Qian: "Are you still chasing?"

Zhang Ergou was sweating profusely, holding a rolling pin and chasing after him, panting while holding on to a support pole of a tent, he said, "You, you, you... don't run if you have the guts."

Xie Qian spread his hands innocently and said, "I didn't run away."

The thin and tall man finally came back to his senses, and stammered: "Jiaozi, dumpling?"

Xie Qian: "That's right, you should eat dumplings when you celebrate the new year, and of course you should eat running water dumplings when you hold a banquet."

The thin and tall man: "Isn't it a banquet like twelve cool twelve hot twelve dim sum?"

Xie Qian: "Ah? Are you crazy? We are not in Chang'an and we don't entertain high-ranking officials and dignitaries. We invite brothers from Xiying to have a reunion dinner. Is it enough to pack a few more stuffings?"

The anger of the cooks dissipated like a deflated ball in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Ergou, who finally understood what he meant, put the rolling pin back on his hips, put his hips on his hips and said angrily, "You guys from the north only eat dumplings! People from the south don't eat dumplings during the Spring Festival!!"

Xie Qian, the tall and thin man: "Huh?"

Zhang Ergou: "Southerners eat glutinous rice balls!!"

Oops! !

The focus of the anger of the cooks immediately shifted to Zhang Ergou, and before others went up and punched and kicked him to block his mouth, as expected, Xie Qian said happily: "That's okay, let's make dumplings and glutinous rice balls together——"

"Where can I get so much glutinous rice!!!" All the cooks wailed in unison, but it was of no avail. The chief culprit, Shi Shiran, had already finalized the plan, and said, "That's the decision. The staple food, dumplings, and the dessert, Lantern Festival, complement each other!"

Zhang Ergou stomped his feet angrily: "Yuanxiao is not glutinous rice balls! Also, glutinous rice balls don't have to be sweet!!!"

It's a pity that his anger was quickly drowned out by the imperial cooks whose northern blood was overwhelmingly dominant.Instead of being filled with righteous indignation, the crowd turned into a lively discussion about what kind of dumpling filling should be prepared.

Xie Qian cocked his tail and listened for a while. After listening to his ears full of dried bamboo shoots with sauce, pork and scallions, he felt that it was not good. He waved his hand and said, "The newly harvested vegetables and mushrooms must be used by Gu. In addition, with bread dumplings , I am going to ask the county residents who temporarily live in Xiying to help, how about it?"

The cooks: "..."

Xie Qian: "There is no objection, right? Let's make this decision." After he finished speaking, he shook his hands and left, leaving behind a lot of problems that could make people frown.

This... the dumplings in the palace are all rationed, and the cooks have practiced it with their hands, and they are accurate.The amount of stuffing in a package, the weight of a dumpling, and hundreds or thousands of dumplings can be made with little difference.Let these ignorant Lemo people mix, firstly, the hygiene habits have to be taught from the beginning, and secondly...if the dumplings are not made properly and become soup, it will be self-defeating. Big sin? !

Everyone was so worried that they lost dozens of strands of hair that night, and when they were preparing breakfast, they figured it out and pushed Zhang Ergou out to negotiate with Xie Qian.

Although Zhang Ergou has a north-south gap with everyone, but the big stand is the same, with a pair of panda eyes, angrily patted the table with Xie Qian to negotiate.

The cooks raised three difficulties,

First, sanitation cannot be guaranteed. The royal chef must carefully clean his hands before cooking, separate the raw and cooked chopping boards, wear a turban and an apron to prevent hair or other contamination of the ingredients.Even camping in the wild, this rule has been enforced.

Second, the quality cannot be guaranteed. Dumplings look simple, but it takes skill to roll them out, and it also takes skill to wrap them well and cook them well. There are also steamed dumplings and soup dumplings, which use different noodles and wrapping methods.

Third, worry about the Lemo people hiding ingredients.After all, everyone is short on food nowadays. If all the staff participate in the flow, there is too much room for manipulation, and it is impossible to supervise.

While eating the hot noodle soup in the morning, Xie Qian calmly listened to Zhang Ergou's lecture, he put down the bowl slowly, and said, "Dog, I understand the truth of what you said, but these are in the From a standpoint, it’s not a problem.”

Not a problem? !Zhang Ergou was furious - no wonder he was angry, any kind of person will gradually become irritable and irritable after being instigated by Xie Qian for a long time, and he can't help cursing a few more words - he said: "What? It’s not a problem! Just based on your words, the brothers didn’t sleep well all night!”

Xie Qian smiled and poured out a cup of warm tea and pushed it to him, saying: "Don't be in a hurry, listen to Gu to finish. Gu said to ask the Lemo people to help, but he didn't say to ask all the people to help. You guys You can choose some people who are good at cooking and teach them the steps to clean their hands. Choose the strong ones to knead the dough, choose the dexterous ones to learn how to roll the skin, and the other skills are only responsible for making dumplings, and let them have good eyesight. Some people are only responsible for cooking. They only do two things, kneading noodles and adjusting fillings, can't you finish it with twenty people?"

Zhang Ergou: "!!"

Xie Qian said again: "How many soldiers are there in our West Camp? For them, it is best to open up the supply of dumplings, and eat them when they are full. The Lemo people who come to help, eat as much as you want on the spot. If you have extra after the banquet, you can eat them." There is a limit of ten or twenty packs to take away, and if there are no leftovers, they can only be eaten on the spot and cannot be taken away.”

Zhang Ergou said: "That's true. Since they help the cook, it should be regarded as a full meal."

Xie Qian: "As for the other Lemo people who did not participate, you can taste a few for free. If you have more, you can exchange things. Grain and rice are fine, fresh vegetables, dried vegetables and mushrooms are fine, and wild game from the mountains is fine. None, I can help you burn firewood, and it’s okay to bring a plate to pay for your work.”

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Alas, I have always been reluctant to talk about personal matters. This time the situation is really more difficult.

At home, the ten-year-old cat was ill with acute pancreatitis. After being rescued for three days, the index did not drop, and he was given conservative treatment for a week before being sent away.Immediately afterwards, the one-and-a-half-year-old Tunjin Beast flu at home had a high fever for three days, and refused to take medicine or eat. Today is the sixth day, and the fever finally subsided, and he was willing to eat.On the fourth day of his flu, I developed a high fever and got infected.

In fact, I also had a premonition. First, the pet hospital, home, and work ran in three directions. Before the old cat was sent away, it was too late to be sad, and then the hospital, work, and home ran in three directions.

There is a childcare aunt at home, as well as grandma Bao and grandpa and grandpa Bao, but I can't shirk my baby at night.I haven't been able to get enough sleep for almost ten days in a row, even if I don't get infected, I will already be in a sub-healthy state.Today is the third day of the flu, and I insisted on wearing a mask to go to work and deal with work in the company's isolation station.

Of course, all of this is not the point. The point is that if only two of these accidents happen, my manuscript will still be able to hold up.Now I haven't been able to code well for more than ten days in a row, and only a few thousand manuscripts are left.

I hope everything will get better, and I will try my best to keep updating.If you really can't make it, you can't rule out the possibility of taking 3-4 days off.Wishing you a new year, bad luck and illness are far away from all little angels.

Thanks to everyone who sees this.

(Tomorrow is the usual day off, see you the day after tomorrow.)
