Tang's dining table

Chapter 145 The Sheep Who Can’t Cry

The flowers have faded to red, green and small apricots.

When the swallows, green water around people. There are few willow trees blowing on the branches, and there are no fragrant grasses anywhere in the world.

There is a swing in the wall, a road outside the wall, people walking outside the wall, and a beautiful woman smiling inside the wall. The laughter gradually becomes quieter and quieter, but the sentimental one is annoyed by the ruthlessness.

When Su Shi wrote this poem, the woman would not let him see him, and she wanted to win his heart, so she would swing on the wall. The most terrible thing was that the swing did not go up high, leaving only laughter. , let Su Shi think about it himself.

However, this is not the point. The point is that Su Shi is a famous fat man and he cannot climb other people's high walls.

The way the fat man climbed the wall was ugly, with his left side twisted and his right side arched. His waist was weak and his buttocks were too heavy to climb up.

Yun Chu doesn't have such worries. He is very satisfied with his current body. He can run a few steps on the wall, then stretch his hand to reach the top of the wall. He can stretch his arms and lift his body up the high wall. This process Just a few seconds.

Of course, he can also use the whip to wrap around something high up, and then pull the whip to send himself up the high wall.

The most convenient thing is that with the help of the bay red horse, he can easily climb the high wall by stepping on the horse's back.

In short, Yunchu had a hundred ways to climb the wall.

However, seeing the old monkey climbing the wall, Yun Chu was speechless, because to the old monkey, the high wall was like flat ground.

Moreover, after the old monkey climbed over the high wall of the Yun family, he would go directly to Naha's boudoir. Yun Chu had said this many times, but the old monkey still refused to change despite repeated admonitions.

He likes to play chess with Naha...

This excuse was really bad, but Yun Chu couldn't bear to expose it. Only when he was with Naha, the old monkey seemed like a living monkey. On weekdays, he was just a dead monkey.

I really don’t know why the old monkey came to Chang’an.

This was not a place that would make him happy.

The Western Region is his world, where he can play with those city lords, those kings, and those khans, and even change the fate of a city-state or a tribe.

This was not possible in the Tang Dynasty. The people here were too stable, they liked peaceful days too much, and they hated the turmoil that people in the Western Regions liked.

He was like an old monkey trapped in a swamp, unable to move or struggle, and could only wait to die.

Therefore, Xuanzang said that he had thrown himself into a trap.

The Western Regions originally did not have hand-picked rice, but since the creation of Yun Chu, the Western Regions have had hand-picked rice.

There is no hand-made rice in Chang'an. Only after the old monkey got onions and yellow radishes can we have large pieces of mutton hand-made rice.

In the early morning, Yun Chu killed a sheep with his own hands. It was a sheep with a pair of big watery eyes. Its black eye sockets were beautiful, and its fur was neatly groomed by the shepherd. Even if it was taken care of by Yun Chu, When first pressed down, the sheep still did not struggle or even cry out.

It wasn't until Yun Chu stabbed a knife more than a foot long into its heart that it stretched out its pink tongue and tried to scream, but unfortunately, there was no sound.

Mrs. Cui took one look and ran away. Only Naha was jumping there, asking her brother to leave her four complete "Gala Khan".

Yun Chu chopped off the sheep's head with a sharp ax. At this time, the tears in his big watery eyes had dried up. After rolling the head twice on the ground, it was stained with a thin layer of dust.

The sheepskin was peeled very completely. Fei Shi planned to use this sheepskin to make a small mattress, so he used a few bamboo sticks to prop up the sheepskin and put it in a cool place to dry.

When a large bunch of sheep offal rolled out of the sheep's body cavity, it filled most of the basket and was taken away by Fei Jiu. He placed a small stove in the porterhouse so that he could cook haggis soup while watching the door. .

Yun Chu carefully cut open the leg joints of the sheep and got out four white "Gala Khan" for Naha to play with. After Naha got the "Gala Khan", she asked San Fei to boil her treasure in boiling water. Remove the smell once and for all.

After cooking, you also need to apply fragrant osmanthus oil. When the bones are shiny, it is a fun thing for girls.

Yunchu chopped the whole lamb into fist-sized pieces and put it on a sieve to dry, so that the moisture in the mutton could be dispersed, so that when the mutton was stir-fried, oil would not splash out and the meat quality would change. It needs to be firm and chewy.

There are many guests coming for dinner today.

There are Pei Xingjian and Gongsun, He Yizheng and Sun Hucao from Wannian County, and Di Renjie, whom I haven't seen for a long time.

The old monkey is not a guest, and he never thinks of himself as a guest. At least half of the family's money is related to him. He always thinks that he should be the master. What's more, Yun Chu also asked him for a good little horse. Mare!

A young mare from Khotan can be obtained in one meal? Not to mention that he brought the onions and carrots used to make this meal.

However, he still agreed. After chatting with Yu Xiurong for a while, he had to admit that this woman was Yun Chu's perfect match.

"My poor Naha, how could I become a family member with a person like you? Whoever interacts with your family will lose his life."

When the old monkey said this, he squatted on the hitching post. From a distance, he really looked like a monkey.

Yun Chu used his hands hard to break open a bright yellow pear and gave half of it to the old monkey. Gongsun brought this thing. It was so rare to be able to eat juicy pears in April.

The old monkey took a bite of the pear and said, "I want to live a few more years and prepare to see you and that woman have more babies with my own eyes."

"Then don't go to Changlefang all day long and devote all your little energy to the singer. It's not cost-effective."

"There is nothing inappropriate. When you look away one day, you will be able to notice the cuteness of those singers. They are good women who pursue a better life. Why do you look down on them?"

"I'm not looking down on you, I'm looking down on you. You could have been a king in the Western Regions, but ended up being a monkey in Chang'an. Isn't it a loss?"

The old monkey shook his head and said, "It's not a loss. As long as I can see Xuanzang and hear his voice, I won't lose anything."

"You are sick."

"If a disease can make you happy, would you treat it or not?"

Yun Chu raised his head and recalled the dancing woman who was sent to the mental hospital by his own hands. He felt that what the old monkey said was right. Instead of waking up and accepting the bad news of the death of her husband and daughter, it was better to immerse herself in the world of dance and stay in the mental hospital forever. Dance forever and far away until death comes.

Seeing the sun was rising, Yun Chu spit out the licorice residue in his mouth. After washing his hands, he went to a large iron pot in the yard. After Fei Ba lit the firewood, he poured sesame oil into the large pot with a diameter of more than one meter.

The iron pot was cast by the blacksmith of Jinchangfang. The craftsmanship is very good. It has a thick bottom and thin walls, and is black and shiny. It can make a dragon roar sound when struck.

When the black sesame oil began to boil in the iron pot, Fei Ba and Yun Chu poured the cleaned mutton into the large iron pot and stir-fried.

Di Renjie was the first to arrive. Seeing Yun Chu busy at the big iron pot, he came over and took a look and said, "He's practicing his chef skills again."

Yun Chu said angrily: "The reason why there is no high-end delicious food in the Tang Dynasty is entirely due to you!"

Di Renjie said doubtfully: "It's none of my business!"

Yun Chu said: "It's because smart people like you refused to study the cuisine carefully and all went to become officials, that's why the food of the Tang Dynasty has not improved for countless years.

Think about it, if everyone was good at cooking, how many delicacies would make people dream of in the Tang Dynasty, and there wouldn't be so many stupid officials in the world who eat nothing!

They are obviously good cooks, but they all become officials. Will they do well? "

"These words deeply touched my heart!" Pei Xingjian's voice came from the courtyard, and then he saw Pei Xingjian, Gongsun and the thieves turning around from the flower hall.

I thought Di Renjie would run away, but unexpectedly, he stood beside Yun Chu with a smile, waiting for Yun Chu to introduce him to new friends. With such a strong psychological quality, he deserved to be promoted to the position of elder in one breath. .

"Di Renjie, the head of Liquanfang, a student of the Imperial Academy!"

"Pei Xingjian, General Pei, Gongsun, Gongsun's wife is the best in the world in sword dancing!"

Hearing this, Di Renjie stepped over, first cupped his hands towards Pei Xingjian and said: "I have seen General Pei in Feng'anfang, and his heroic appearance of conquering the chaos alone is unforgettable to this day."

After finishing his words, he cupped his hands towards Gongsun and said, "Yunchu often said that in the past there was a beautiful lady Gongsun who moved all directions with her sword dance! I won't deceive you when I see it today."

Pei Xingjian laughed and said: "Brother Di took the lead in Feng'anfang and said "Kill the dog official", and the words of a certain family are still in his ears."

The two met and talked happily, but Gongsun asked doubtfully: "Have we met before?"

Di Renjie caressed the mustache on his lips and said, "I'm eager to see you."

At this time, Di Renjie, who was quite dark and handsome, was far different from the image of a dog thief that night when he saw people naked. In addition, it had been a long time, and Gongsun really couldn't remember the appearance of the dog thief. .

Yunchu was busy frying mutton, Pei Xingjian and Di Renjie had a pleasant conversation, Gongsun went to find Yu Xiurong and Naha, and for a while everything was fine.

Pei Xingjian likes young talents the most, and Di Renjie is not an idiot from the Imperial Academy. Whether it is the art of war, current affairs, arithmetic, or the sun, moon and stars, Di Renjie can answer questions fluently and with profound insights. The two of them came to the flower hall without knowing it. , started fighting with the chess set made by Yun Chu as the theme.

Doctor He arrived just in time and brought a pack of white sugar candies and some medicinal materials to Yun Chu.

Seeing Yun Chu taking the white sugar and pouring it into the oil pan, Doctor He said hurriedly: "This is not how you eat it."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I am better at being a cook than being a doctor. Today, He Yizheng will try a certain family's tooth-changing method."

"What doctor judged..."

"Oh my, has the official document been received?"

"I just came down yesterday. Ancestor's words are more effective than anything else. The higher-ups asked who can fill the vacancy in a certain family, and they have already reported you. Since you have been praised by ancestors, what was originally impossible has become a success. It’s a sure thing.”

"So, we are happy together, we are happy together."

"Keep your voice down and don't make any noise. Only when the paperwork comes down can it be done accurately."

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

Sun Hu Cao didn't know when he came. After seeing Pei Xingjian and Doctor He, he wanted to leave immediately. After thinking for a while, he slid along the wall and moved in.
