Several more bonfires have been lit in the open space at the top of Baiwang Mountain. The guards gathered around a group, and the aroma of heated bread filled the air.

Shu Shu and Jiu Age, Chang Shan, were beside the fire where the chicken was simmering. Beside them were Yuzhu and Xiaowu, one of whom was baking noodles, and the other was baking braised eggs and Songhua ham.

There are branches everywhere, and it is also convenient to insert food picks.

Brother Jiu Age told Shu Shu: "This hilltop is too small to be used. There are tigers, wild boars, wild sheep and so on over there in the West Mountain. Why don't I take you to the West Mountain for a day?"

While hunting?"

Shu Shu smiled and said, "You don't have to run so far. Next time we will catch birds outside the garden."

Brother Jiu smiled and said, "Well, catching birds is fun... Fishing is also good. It's not easy to go fishing in Changchun Garden. There is plenty of water there, so there are big fish!"

Shu Shu said: "Didn't you say that you have to live in a house when fishing?"

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, we fished too casually and did not prepare the bait properly." Brother Jiu nodded and said, "That's right, and the water over there is shallow. Tomorrow we will go to the Dragon King Temple to stay at the apartment, the water over there is deeper...

"Shu Shu smiled and nodded and said: "Well, I'm still thinking about making fish clams for the Queen Mother. No matter whether it's delicious or not, it's our filial piety." Ninth Brother snorted: "Let's save this filial piety.

, go back to Jiangnan, spend more than two months on the boat, how can you still be short of fish?"

Shu Shu smiled and said: "There is also a portion for me. We made it ourselves. I also added a side dish and had two more mouthfuls of porridge."

Brother Jiu immediately took a breath and said: "River fish is river fish, river fish is river fish, how can the taste be the same?

He will also bring some with him when the time comes, what if the water and soil are too weak?"

Zhuangzi also knew what the truth was, so he refuted it and listened with a smile.

Zhuangzi and Fourth Brother have also baked this.

The fourth brother wiped his hands, broke open the braised eggs, ate the yolks which Zhuangzi loved to eat, and gave you the egg whites.

Zhuangzi also sorted out the baked noodles, keeping the burnt and hard half and giving the soft half to Si Age.

Chang Shan hadn't baked the noodles yet, so he just put the cold braised eggs and Songhua ham outside. They were salty enough.

Xiaokou: When I eat with a small mouth, I feel choked for no reason.

A set of fermented dough bread rolled with braised eggs and finished with ham.

There were only a few turtle doves, quails, sparrows, etc. burned around these fires.

That time, Fourth Brother asked Yuzhu and sent me to eat, while he pulled two solid white eggs out of the fire.

―One is a turtle dove or a quail, and the other is a sparrow.

Brother Si took the big one first, but it was severely burned.

Everything on the claws and legs was burnt, except for the bird's breast, which still had some meat. Brother Si also felt it was dirty, so he tore two pieces off, dipped them in the barbecue sauce, and said to Zhuangzi: "Try it, the taste is the same!"

Zhuangzi took it and ate it.

It's burnt and fragrant. It's not too thin, it's also too big.

It feels like half a mouthful.

Peel off the smaller white egg, and there is a turtledove inside.

That one had no meat, so the fourth brother tore off a bird leg and gave it to Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi also saw a roasted turtle dove.

Even with eating and playing, an hour passed.

Zhuangzi remembered that the beggar chicken took an hour.

But this was my first time doing it, so I was worried about not having enough time.

He looked at his pocket watch and pinched it. After another quarter of an hour, he asked someone to open it - a beggar's chicken.

The fragrance is overflowing and it looks shiny.

Zhuangzi tore up a chicken leg and let the fourth brother try it. The fourth brother nodded and said, "It's roasted just right. It's crispy on the inside and tender on the outside. It doesn't taste bland..." Xiaojia had already gathered around and immediately divided the rest.

Chang Shan wanted to be punished. Seeing that the married couple was disgusted, he called his brothers to take the seven beggar's chickens they had been assigned and eat them at the nearby fire.

Datang went over and gave you two packs of barbecue ingredients, which Zhuangzi asked you to prepare after a delay.

That's because the chicken has been marinated for enough time to make it tasty and seasoned.

Ten guards, one first-class, eight seventh-class, and eight eighth-class, are all the sons of noble ministers under the Eight Banners.

Relatives and friends who are old and old may not necessarily be divided into eight, eight, four and so on.

Just two people and one chicken, divided equally.

The younger ones know the rules and have a strict mouth.

―An eighth-class guard who was only retired this year, I can’t help but give him a little thumbs up."

I just thought others were bragging, but it turned out to be true. Following the fourth master, Si Shushu had no good food... "I have always liked to talk about my master. Whether he said anything or not, he nodded in response.

On the other side, Dadang, you also divided two chickens.

Xiaojia had just eaten the pancakes and was hungry, so she tore off a piece and tasted it.

Datang saw that Xing Ba didn't even glance at me, he just thought I was full.

After all, Jing was at that age, half a year old. He was young, and it was the time when he could eat.

You handed me the remaining roast chicken and said, "Take it and eat it. This one is enough for you to share."

Xing Ba had the nerve to take it, blushing, and said, "Can you take this away from home?"

Do you want to give it to Ama, Enie, brother, sister-in-law, but you don’t have a boy yet..." A filial and sensible child is always annoying.

Datang smiled and nodded: "Let's go now, while it's cold..."

"Uh-huh!"

Xing Ba ran up the mountain happily.

Zhuangzi and Fourth Brother heard the movement and looked over.

Datang got off the bed and said, "He is a filial child."

The fourth elder brother glanced at Datang, he had grown up with Zhuangzi, and even his words were like this.

I am young; when I am young, I look at everyone else as children.

When Datang left, the fourth elder brother looked at Zhuangzi and asked: "To be honest with you, in his heart, he also treats you as his child, right?"

Zhuangzi looked me up and down, then looked at my waist, why is it a child?

If it's a child, you can do it!

Fourth brother understood, covered your eyes with his hands, gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Where are you looking, behave yourself, there are so many people!"

When the little family came up from Baiwang Mountain, they were all satisfied.

Zhuangzi felt happy and unlocked the beggar's chicken.

The only regret is that I will not be traveling for a long time today. I want to maintain the regret and dignity of Prince Qiu Hong. If so, it would be perfect to catch the chickens myself.

In my next life, when I was young, my parents took me to Duoshang as a guest. I took my cousin to catch two big chickens in the village, but I didn't catch them. It's a pity to think about it.

After leaving, Zhuangzi and Fourth Brother did not forget about business. They went to see the pigs, chickens and pigs in the pigpen. After raising them for half a year, they had grown half smaller.

Just outside the old yard of Shu Shudao's house, next to the Batui yard, there are seven pig houses in total, with seven pigs in each house.

Two of them died of illness when they came here, but there are still not fourteen left.

It looks like it will be ready for the market by the end of this year.

Seeing that there was not much space in the yard, Zhuangzi said to Shu Shu: "We can't build a few more pig houses when spring comes..." Shu Shu said firmly: "Shu Shu, it's better to keep them together like this."

"Little, if there is no swine fever, they all run away, it is more appropriate to raise them separately..." Zhuangzi is not a stubborn person.

You looked up at the dozen or so households nearby and asked, "Are these tenants from Fujin?"

Shu Shu said: "Yes, they are all young tenants."

Zhuangzi said: "Let's build a pigsty at the foot of the mountain, separate it from the other side, and raise it in two places. There is no idle manpower outside the tenant farm, so I want to hire a few honest people."

Shu Shudao also felt that it was safe and nodded in agreement.

Seeing the chicken coop, Qiu Hong said: "You will give birth in July. Please prepare some hens for Dudu. If there are enough over there, Qiu Hongwai will collect them from far away and send them to Yitong Mansion."

, prepare according to eighty."

Ms. Jueluo is over seventy years old and is not yet a young mother. She needs to undergo confinement for seventy days or even double confinement in order to regulate her body.

Qiu Hongxing kept this in mind and decided to retreat for the seventh month, so as not to leave the territory to pay tribute, so as not to be informed and delay the delivery of chickens.

It will be morning when the group returns from Baiwang Mountain and arrives at the West Garden.

The accompanying escorts and guards have all left.

Zhuangzi and Si Age took the others back to Nansuo.

You said to Fourth Brother: "It's still convenient. Once the guard office reports it, the news will be delivered to the Queen. Let's just follow behind!"

The action is all right under Xiaojia's nose.

Even if there is a place where you can meet people, you still don't want any privacy at all.
