Chapter 398 Wang Wenyu’s Thoughts

Next to the fish bridge with the whirling ancient willows, there is a small signboard for "Gourd Chicken".

Outside in the setting sun, under the signboard, a few clean small square tables exuded a calm luster.

A young woman was clearing the table. As a widow, she had to close her stall earlier to avoid gossip from the neighbors.

Gourd chicken is said to have been invented by the official chef of Wei Zhi, the minister of rites in the Tang Dynasty. When making it, the chicken was first rinsed in clean water to remove blood stains. When cooking, the chicken was tied with hemp wire to maintain its shape.

When the cold water in the pot boils, add the fat chicken, cook for a while, take it out, put it in a basin, add broth, rice wine, refined salt, green onions, ginger, and several spices, steam it thoroughly, and then fry it.

Fry until golden brown, then transfer to a plate. When serving, add a small plate of pepper and salt to go with it.

Wei Zhi was born into an official family. With the support of his father and brother, he rose through the court and reached the rank of Duke of Xi.

This person grew up in fine clothes and fine food, lived in luxury and sex, and was very particular about his meals.

Xiao Su came here in search of Weizhou delicacies. After tasting the gourd chicken, she happily wrote down "If you want to eat, your muscles and bones will be relaxed, and you will have to meet Mr. Xun's chef".

They also inquired about the relationship between the Wei family's wife and Wei Zhi, but the Wei family's wife had been in a small family for several generations, so she couldn't explain why.

I heard that Xiaosu Tanhua created this dish to know how it tastes. The technique is similar, but the chicken bones are removed using the method of deboning the whole chicken, and the chicken belly is stuffed with Sichuan specialty round glutinous rice, fresh peas, cooked ham, yil kernels, gordon seeds, and fragrant mushrooms.

Eight kinds of fillings, including lotus seeds and lilies, have become another signature dish of Fang Zhiwei, named "Eight Treasure Gourd Chicken".

However, Tanhua Lang said that the way he did it was to get into the elegant hall, to say good things to her, and to show the true nature of Mrs. Wei's family and add a more nostalgic flavor.

A long shadow appeared on the small stone road. It was very familiar. The young lady of the Shi family and the madam of Atun often sent him to buy chickens from their place.

Wang Wenyu came under the cloth, wiped the table with a rag, and then started to move it into the room: "Yu Niang, I lost."

Yu Niang smiled slightly: "It's okay, I've heard everything. Dalang's last arrow missed the target."

Wang Wenyu stopped what he was doing: "Xiao Su Tanhua said that there might be a war in Weizhou, I..."

Yuniang's body froze, and her eyes gradually filled with tears: "Did you do it on purpose?"

"Are you afraid that if you win the championship in archery, your comrades will coax you to marry me?"

Wang Wenyu was a little at a loss: "The sword has no eyes, Lady Yu, I'm not afraid of myself, I'm afraid of you..."

Yuniang's tears came down: "Afraid that I will become a widow for the second time? Afraid that the neighbors will gossip? Afraid that Xiao Zhong will have no father again?"

A small figure came out of the street, carrying a tie-dyed linen schoolbag from Meishan: "Uncle Wang, why don't you want to marry my mother? Don't you like her? Don't you like me? Is it because I'm a dragster?"

"

Wang Wenyu hurriedly knelt down and held Xiao Zhong'er's hand: "Your mother is so good, why wouldn't I want to marry your mother? You are more knowledgeable than my uncle, how could he not like it? It's... my uncle is afraid of this.

If you go, you won’t be able to come back…”

Xiao Zhonger burst into tears and hugged Wang Wenyu: "Uncle, don't go! I don't want you to be like daddy..."

Wang Wenyu touched Xiao Zhong'er's head lovingly: "Uncle, how can you not go? The young man in the work team made it clear that every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Do you know what a common man is? A bachelor like uncle is a common man."

Little Zhong'er cried and cried: "No, no, Zhang Shanchang said, the common man refers to every Song Dynasty person... Tan... Brother Tanhua said... the country... is sick... we have to... we have to cure him...

You have to get an acupuncture...take bitter medicine...it will hurt...but daddy is out of pain...uncle...is also out of pain...how long will we have to hurt...uncle, how long will we have to hurt..."

With tears in his eyes, Wang Wenyu wiped away the tears on little Zhong'er's face: "Zhong'er is good, don't be afraid, uncle... I don't know how long it will hurt, but I promise you, as long as uncle is still here, it won't hurt you and me."

Come here, your mother!"

After saying that, he stood up and took out a red fold and handed it to Yu Niang: "I can't compare with the gang of killers from the Crane Control Army. I have only been in the army for a few months. There are only fifty strings on this fold."

"I'm really useless. I think clearly on the field, but I can't help but change my mind when I see you...Yu Niang, we will go to the government to register tomorrow. Even if I am gone, there will still be a lot of care..."

Yu Niang was so frightened that she covered his mouth: "What crazy talk are you talking about! You must come back safely!"

After saying that, he took his hand back in embarrassment: "No, not tomorrow."

Wang Wenyu was anxious: "Why not?!"

Even though Yu Niang often receives strangers' faces, she can't help but blush: "You have to... ask someone... to ask someone to be the matchmaker... but no matter what, in short... you have to hurry up..."

Su You and Shi Wei were bathing Muke. Muke liked soap bubbles very much. He loved to rub the foam on his arms and then peck it with his mouth.

Su You seemed to have seen in some documentary that the Javanese orangutan, which is the closest blood relative to humans, also likes to do this.

Shi Wei didn't care and said that Yu Ju Guan used soapy water to treat intestinal obstruction, constipation and dysentery.

Su You rubbed Muke while rolling his eyes: "Really or not? I can't drink soapy water."

Shi Wei poured water on Muke: "It's not for drinking, it's for pouring it in through the Soul Gate."

Su You was stunned: "Po Men?"

Shi Wei rolled her eyes at him: "Firstly, it is said that the lungs store the soul, and it is related to the large intestine meridian, so it is called the Soul Gate. Secondly, it is said that the Soul is the dregs, and the Soul Gate is the door that transmits the dregs. "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic" says: "The Soul Gate

It is also the envoy of the five internal organs, and water and grain cannot be stored for a long time."

Now Su You understood: "Hi! It's just an enema. You put it so elegantly."

Shi Wei chuckled: "That's what it says in the book."

The two of them washed Muke clean and put him in a mercerized cotton gown. Su You said, "Why do I have such a stupid guy under my command? Wang Wenyu had been wondering for several hours, but it was not his turn to be so arrogant as the directors of the company.

When did you and Ami discover that they were having an affair?"

Shi Wei blushed: "What kind of adultery? Sister Ami said that Brother Wang is worried about the gains and losses of Yu Niang. This is a sign of sincerity. This is the kind of thing you should look for when looking for a husband."

"Triumphs are external things. If you don't have one this year, there will be one next year. But it's hard to find a good husband if you miss it. Sister Yuniang is a really smart person."

Su You said: "Don't listen to her nonsense. The women of the Erlin Department can hold up half of the sky. I think they still hold up most of it. They have ruined the atmosphere of Weizhou City!"

Seeing Shi Wei glance at him, Su You murmured: "I'm just afraid of my wife. It's nothing to show off outside..."

Shi Wei's heart was beating so fast that she picked up Muke to cover up: "Ignore you!"

…

As soon as autumn comes, Weizhou has a huge manpower gap.

Harvesting wheat, mowing grass, shearing sheep... Cai is indeed in pain and happiness.

Suyou's focus began to shift to the military industry.

Weizhou, Longguan, and the Zhenrong Army began to reserve military supplies.

All the mills along the Jingshui Canal were operating like crazy, producing flour.

Messengers frequently shuttle between Weizhou and Zhenrong Army, Langduyuan and Liuguman.

Many of the surrounding small tribes delivered goods to Xixia and sent information to the Song Dynasty, currying favor with both sides.

The loyalty of these tribes is worrying, and intelligence analysis is very difficult. In addition to multiple comparisons, Su You solved the problem of intelligence screening in one sentence. The loyalty of tribes is directly proportional to their savings in the Sitong Bank account; the war's

The degree of urgency is inversely proportional to the savings they have in their Sitong Bank account.

There are many similar clues. In early August, Fan people's trading reached a peak, and then the green salt trading volume dropped like a cliff.

Cheng San immediately used the emergency reserves. When there was too much salt, the corresponding amount of Shu banknotes was reduced, so that the prices of salt and banknotes remained stable.

In the middle of the month, the Xixia army appeared on Huanqing Road, and the situation in Yanbian, Shaanxi Province was rife.

Xue Xiang, the capital's transfer envoy, ordered Yanbian to strictly guard the situation and report it to the court at the same time.

Su You and Zhong Ji were very patient, and Lao Xue could still carry it. Liang Zuo was not among the Xixia troops assembled outside Huanqing and Qingzhou, so it was most likely a false signal.

In Changzhou, the mainland of the Song Dynasty, one day in August, when the sun was setting, there was a loud noise like thunder in the sky.

A big star, almost as big as the moon, with a long tail, appeared in the southeast, and then flew across the sky to the southwest.

After another earthquake, a large pit appeared in the yard of a family named Xu in Yixing County. The local government found the remaining parts of the star in the pit.
