Chapter 181

Considering the problem of oil fume, the cooking room of the official ship is located on the upper deck of the cabin, which is convenient for oil fume emission. The walls and floors of the kitchen are painted with fireproof red paint. The main material of this paint is a kind of resin called "insectivorous tree", which can prevent fire.

Therefore, this kind of tree is widely planted by the Ministry of industry and widely used in the field of construction.

In the kitchen, several cooks were preparing lunch, sweating in the winter. There is a big pot of fish soup stewed in the pot, and the steam "Goo Goo" is on top of the pot cover, with a strong fragrance.

Xu Qi'an sniffed the fragrance and came to the kitchen. He opened the pot and asked, "is the fish soup ready?"

"I'll be ready soon!"

The cooks were surprised that an adult went into the kitchen in person.

Xu Qian stares at the light brown fish soup, which is the reason for adding soy sauce. He sniffs the aroma and says, "give me the spoon."

A cook obediently handed over the spoon, Xu Qi'an scooped some soup, tasted it, surprised: "the smell of soil is very light."

Limited by the level of seasoning and cooking skills, most of the river fish in the world have earthy smell. Of course, except for the best restaurants, such as Guiyue restaurant, where the cook level is superb.

When the cook heard the words, he said with pride, "my Lord, those of us who are floating on the water usually eat fish. If we want to eat fish, there is nothing better than us in the world. How to get rid of the earthy smell? Hehe... We have a secret way. "

He also hid his secrets and deliberately did not say so.

Xu Qi'an said, "I also have a secret recipe, which can improve the taste of this pot of fish soup by several percent."

The cook didn't believe it, but he didn't retort because he didn't dare. But there was no hiding the disapproval in his eyes.

Xu Qi'an took out the porcelain bottle containing chicken essence.

"Big, big..."

several cooks were shocked. They served in the official ship for many years and received many officials. They are naturally sensitive to food.

If the officials on board die of poisoning, they have to be buried with them.

"What are you afraid of? You can try some poison later." Xu Qian comforted him.

The cooks were not comforted at all, but worried more.

Xu Qi'an first poured a little into the pot and took a SIP to taste it. He felt that it was not enough. Then he added a little more and tasted it again. After several times, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Here, try it!" He scooped out a small spoon of fish soup and handed it to the cook.

Xu Qi'an's taste just now gave him courage. The cook hesitated for a moment, took a drink from the spoon, and in an instant, his eyes widened.

The delicious fish soup soaked the taste buds, "Gulu..." with the uncontrolled rolling of the Adam's apple, poured into the abdomen.

Between the lips and teeth, the fragrance is long.

"Too, too good..." the cook got excited. "My Lord, what's the secret recipe? What a magic secret recipe it is. Please teach me."

Xu Qian: "ha ha."

...

governor Zhang sat on the collapse, supported his forehead, and endured the shaking of the ship. After taking the pills given by the white warlock, he was much more comfortable.

The entourage brought hot tea and said, "master, after crossing the boundary of the capital, the wind on the river will be less, and then you won't have a headache."

Governor Zhang nodded and took a sip of tea.

"It's time for lunch. I'll get it for you." The attendant said.

"No Governor Zhang waved his hand and pinched his eyebrows: "I'm dizzy and I don't have appetite..."

his voice fell and his nose twitched: "what's the smell?"

In the open window, the river breeze rushes in with fresh fragrance, and touches governor Zhang's greedy insects to speed up his saliva secretion.

"Gulu..." the attendant swallowed his saliva, and his eyes floated out of the house frequently. His mind was not here.

Governor Zhang pondered for a moment: "well, even if I don't have an appetite, I can't compete with my body. Just help me get some food... Well, although the fishy soup is unbearable, I can't carry it. I have to share the joys and sorrows with all the soldiers."

The entourage answered cheerfully and trotted out of the room, saying that the adult is worthy of being a scholar, and the shameless words are so beautiful.

Xu Qi'an and his colleagues sat in the spacious hall, eating and boasting.

"This fish soup is amazing. I've never had such a strong soup in my life."

"Yes, even that fishy smell is fragrant."

"If I can drink this kind of fish soup every day, I will be happy to stay on the ship all my life."

People are sweating and enjoying the amazing fish soup.

Ginger law alone occupied a table, closed his eyes, aftertaste between the tongue unforgettable fragrance. He called the cook and said curiously, "this fish soup tastes extraordinary. I've never drunk it. How do you make it?"

It's supposed to have a secret recipe... Ginger Law Center thought.

He is not greedy people's secret recipe, pure curiosity, want to know how this amazing fish soup is made.

The cook immediately looked at Xu Qi'an: "it's the secret recipe of that adult. It has nothing to do with villains."A crowd of watchmen suddenly looked over.

"Look what I'm doing. It's a secret recipe made by Si Tian Jian. I don't have much of it myself." Xu Qian said immediately.

He knew that these unruly watchmen, especially Jiang Luzhong, would change their ways to ask for help from him.

All of a sudden, they turned their heads and looked at the three white warlocks in the corner. The young white warlock said, "look what we do. The secret recipe of Si Tianjian is taught by Mr. Xu."

Ma De, these warlocks are pure hearted, aren't they? Xu Qi'an has a bad heart.

At this time, a group of bodyguards in armor came in at the cabin door. While smelling the delicious fish soup, they quietly received their own simple meals.

On this trip to Yunzhou, there were 20 bronze gongs, six silver gongs, one golden gong, three long followers of governor Zhang, and 100 hubenwei.

Plus governor Zhang, a total of 131 people.

These hubenwei live in the narrow and dark cabin bottom, and their food is not as good as that of the watchman. Naturally, their share of fish soup is not so good.

Thin men quietly twitch their noses, quietly swallow saliva, eager to look at the fish soup.

Xu Qian thought for a moment and called to the Cook: "is there any fish in the boat? If not, go to the net and cook a pot of fish soup for the soldiers. Make sure everyone can drink it. "

With that, he handed the porcelain bottle to the Cook: "if it's not enough, ask me for it again."

Hu Ben Wei's eyes "Shua" lit up, unconsciously straightened their waists, and said in unison: "thank you."

I am always too soft hearted, too soft hearted, to carry all the problems... Xu Qi'an nodded: "my name is Xu."

"Thank you, Lord Xu."

At this time, governor Zhang's chief came in and said in a loud voice, "is there any fish soup? My adults still want to drink it."

The crowd laughed and the cabin was full of happy air.

...

capital, before dusk.

Xu returns to Beijing in the new year. He is going to go home to get some clothes, rice noodles and silver.

Every three months, students of Yunlu academy have to pay a tuition fee. At the same time, they bring their own rice and noodles.

So Xu Erlang would go home regularly, take the dirty clothes he didn't have time to wash home and throw them to his servants. By the way, he would bring enough money and food for three months.

"Xu..."

he stopped his horse outside Xu's house and was surprised to find that the door was locked.

This is not a trivial matter. The family keeps servants. Even if the host is not at home and closes the door to thank the guests, the door is locked from the inside. The outside padlock often means that there is no one in the family.

Xu Erlang's heart sank and he had a bad feeling.

He turned over and dismounted, came to the wall, took a deep breath, and said in a loud voice: "fly over the eaves and walk over the wall!"

After reading, he silently stepped back a few steps, feeling the surging strength filled his limbs, helped by sprint, leaped from the three meter high wall and landed safely.

There is no one in the house.

Xu Xinnian walked from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard and pushed open the doors one by one. His sister's, parents' and servants' were empty.

The most important thing is that there are no beds left in the house.

Where's my home? Well, where is my family? Xu Erlang stood blankly in the yard, thinking about life.

"The door is just locked and there is no seal, which means that the elder brother is not guilty again..." the things in the house are empty, but the ground is not dusty, and the cleaning is very clean, which means that they are not looted... "

Xu Erlang deduced the result by virtue of his wisdom: they moved.

Why didn't I be informed of the move? Did they forget that there was another Erlang in Yunlu academy? Xu Xinnian wants to swear angrily.

Bad... Then, his face changed, he quickly added a layer of buff to himself, climbed out of the wall, mounted a horse, and planned to leave the capital before the city gate closed.

At this time, a faint drum sound came from a distant place, which was the drum sound before the city gate was closed.

...

new house.

Uncle Xu will be on duty at night today. After dinner, he has to go out.

The aunt looked at her husband and said, "it's reasonable that Erlang should come back. He didn't bring much money last time."

The mother naturally cares about her son and estimates the time for his son to return home.

"Probably just these days." Xu Er Shu didn't care much.

"Dalao... Did you write to him?" Asked the aunt.

"I don't know."

"I don't know what that means?" My aunt raised her eyebrows.

"I didn't ask." After finishing the last meal, Xu Er Shu hung his Sabre on his back and put on his helmet:

"I went out and watched the ring tone at night. I don't want her to go to the well again. Besides, don't be paranoid all day long. The house is not haunted. "

After that, Uncle Xu went out.

That night, he led a team of imperial sword guards on patrol in the outer city. When he passed the ancestral home, he found a figure squatting at the door of the mansion, holding his knees, his face buried in his arms, shivering in the cold wind.There is also a horse around, listless with a loud nose, paw.

There is no curfew in the outer city, and people can travel freely. However, the imperial sword guard has the right to spot check and ask questions. When he sees someone squatting in front of his own house, the second uncle immediately brings people to meet him.

Just as he was about to ask, the light of the torch lit up the man's shirt. Suddenly he felt familiar.

Xu Er Shu was stunned and said that he would not...

"Erlang?" He spoke with some uncertainty.

The scholar raised his head slowly. He was pretty and emaciated. It was Xu Erlang.

Father and son looked at each other in silence for a long time. Xu Er Shu felt numb: "why don't you go to the inn?"

Xu Ningyan, who suffered a lot, didn't write to his brother.

"There's no silver left."

"Why don't you rest in the house?"

"Horses will be stolen."

"Why not go back to the academy?"

"The gate is closed."

"... my family moved to the inner city. I forgot to tell you. Well, it's a curfew in the inner city. I'll take you to the inn for my father. "

Xu Erlang said goodbye Slowly, his voice empty: "this adult, I have no family."

At night, the lonely moon hangs high.

The rooms of the official ship are limited. Xu Qi'an doesn't have an independent room for a gong. He sleeps in the same room as song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao.

It's a row bed.

He turned to his left and song Tingfeng was facing him. Look to the right. Zhu Guangxiao is facing him.

Xu Qian suddenly thought of a joke: if you sleep between a man and a woman, will you turn your butt towards a man or a woman?

butt toward women will be regarded as gay, and men make complaints about the risk of being just. But in my case, I choose to lie down.

Outside the door came the voice of governor Zhang's entourage: "Mr. Xu, my Lord, please."

PS: I didn't save the manuscript. Once I get stuck, I will delay updating.
