Rebirth Night Expedition Far River

Chapter 45

"Here you are, Wen Xiaojiang." A frivolous voice sounded.

Wen Jiang followed the voice and looked over. The second master was sitting on a stone bench in the garden, looking at him with a smile. There was a chessboard on the stone table. It seemed that there was another person there just now, but he didn't know where to go now. where

"Come here, play chess with me first." He waved at Wen Jiang.Seeing that Wen Jiang was hesitant, he told Lao Xu clearly: "You take our Wen Xiaojiang friends to the living room first, and entertain them well."

Shen Song didn't want to leave Wen Jiang, and held onto the corner of Wen Jiang's clothes with his fingers, refusing to let go. Wen Jiang touched his head and said to Second Master, "Second Master, I don't know if there is milk in the building." Ever since he felt that he had guessed the identity of Second Master, Gritting his teeth, Wen Jiang took advantage of the situation and shouted out these two words.

The second master glanced at Lao Xu, who hurriedly said: "Yes, Young Master Wen wants it well, I will order someone to bring it right away."

"No, it's not." Wen Jiang held Shen Song's hand: "Xiao Diu, you and Brother Xiaoshan go to the living room with this uncle first. Brother Wen will come to you soon, and I will let this uncle prepare it for you." Snacks and sweet milk, okay?"

When Shen Song heard about the food and sweet milk, there was obvious wavering in his eyes immediately, but the balance was still more biased towards Wen Jiang, and Wen Jiang said again: "Brother Wen, can I cook you another delicious meal?"

Shen Song's eyes lit up, he nodded his head immediately, obediently let go of his hand, and let Xiao Shan hold him. Xiao Shan nodded at Wen Jiang, expressing that he would take good care of Shen Song, and then left with Lao Xu.

"Green rhyme? Still, Yanxia is half drunk." The second master looked at Wen Jiang with a half-smile, "I think, Wen Xiaojiang, you prefer Yanxia and half drunk."

His face was full of 'I know, you can't hide it from me', and he was satisfied that everything was under his control.

But this also gave Wen Jiang affirmation of his identity.

"Then, Yanxia is half drunk, thank you, Second Master." Wen Jiang replied calmly, as if he didn't notice anything.

"Okay, now come and play chess with me." Second Master said with a smile.

Wen Jiang touched his cheek, and said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, Second Master, I'm really not good at this, I'm afraid it will sweep away your nature."

"Oh, it's okay, I can teach you."

Wen Jiang was speechless: "The boy is dull. I'm afraid people won't be able to learn it in a short while. How about this? There is a simple game in the boy's hometown. It can be used to pass the time when you are free. I wonder if you are interested in the second master?"

The second master raised his eyebrows: "Oh? There is another way to play, I want to see it."

"I'm afraid it won't catch your eyes as a country folk's thing." Wen Jiang said humbly, explaining the so-called simple and easy-to-understand gameplay—that thing is—backgammon→_→.

"Xingzi Lianqi." The second master almost answered Wen Jiang's words.

Wen Jiang was stunned, hey, it turns out that there is also this kind of gameplay here, but the name is different. Now that the second master said the name, he remembered that he had heard it before, but he didn't think about it at the time, and he still treated it as It's a unique kind of chess here.

"It's because Xiao Ke is ignorant." Wen Jiang said awkwardly: "Xiao Ke only knows how to play this, I don't know if the second master—"

"It's okay, it's okay to have fun, of course it's interesting when everyone is together." The second master smiled: "I am older than you, Wen Xiaojiang, oh yes, I heard others call you Xiaoqi, I wonder if the second master can do it too." calling you like that."

"Second Master, please go ahead." Even if you call me Little Eight, Little Nine, and Little Ten, I won't refuse my dear!

"Since I'm older, then Xiaoqi will settle down first."

"Thank you, Second Master, for your humility." Wen Jiang picked up a bag, remained silent for a while, and then - found a place that was pleasing to the eye, and put it down.

For a game rookie who gets lost when playing X0, drowns when playing a certain spirit, reads strategies when playing stand-alone, and even ends up 3-[-] nine times when playing a certain stone jjc, the ultimate ultimate move is only three words, then It's just - look!Heart!Affection!

The corners of Second Master's lips twitched indistinctly, and the people who saw everything by the window on the second floor not far away couldn't help but raise the corners of their lips.

Based on Wen Jiang's time calculation method, excluding the time for catching and dropping, he would be gameover in less than a minute. The process can be described in four words, that is - appalling.

"Hehe." The second master smiled.

"Hehe." Wen Jiang also smiled: "I'm sorry Second Master, Xiao Ke is really not proficient in this way."

"It's okay, it's okay." The second master probably said "no problem" and "hehe" the most today. "The people on my side have received the ingredients you need the day before yesterday, should Xiaoqi go and have a look first?"

Wen Jiang couldn't wait to leave here quickly, and hurriedly got up and said, "Exactly, then Xiao Ke will go to the kitchen to have a look and make preparations in advance."

"Then it's hard work, Xiaoqi."

"No, no, no, the second master has already given Xiao Qi a huge favor." The person in front of him knows everything, and he will naturally know that he already understands the use of the supreme card, so he doesn't need to pretend If you don't even know, that way, maybe it will make the other party feel that you are thinking deeply, which is counterproductive.

The second master smiled more meaningfully: "That's nothing, just take it as a gift for you."

What he said was a bit intimate, as if he regarded himself as a junior or a friend, but Wen Jiang only felt his hairs stand on end, thanked him repeatedly, and then went to the kitchen.

After he left, the eyes that had been paying attention to this side disappeared, and at the same moment, a guard appeared behind the second master with a blank expression on his face.

"Yue Chen, what do you think of this child?"

"I don't know."

"Hehe." The second master stared at the chessboard, his voice was low: "Then do you think, can he restrain Xie Zheng?"

"..." Yuechen didn't answer.

"Hehehehe." The second master laughed: "It's interesting, it's really interesting."

Wen Jiang was taken to the kitchen by Xiao Luzi, and asked as he walked, "Well, Xiaolu—brother." A man who is not much older than he looks - looks from the lower body - stares -

"Where are you looking!" Xiao Luzi felt uneasy at being stared at by someone so coldly. When he noticed where the other person's line of sight went, he suddenly--exploded: "Do, what to do! I, I Let me tell you, you, if you, if you dare—”

"Look! Handjob!" Wen Jiang suddenly raised his head and pointed at the sky and shouted.

Xiao Luzi's words were interrupted by him, and his attention was diverted. He frowned and said, "What kind of handjob, don't be surprised."

Huh——Wen Jiang patted his chest, Emma, ​​if he said it just now, he would definitely be silenced. After these two days, Wen Jiang has only one sentence to sum up for himself—he knows so well!many!up!

Shenwu Building is really rich and powerful. In just two days, he found all the ingredients Wen Jiang needed. Some ingredients are hard to find in winter in modern times, but I didn't expect to find them in Shenwulou.

If, if in the future he uses the supreme card and buys it from Shenwulou, did Brother Xie have a childhood sweetheart or a bamboo horse that he liked when he was young, did he have a young girl or boy from the Ling family that he liked when he was young, when is the first time waiting for information cough cough— — Well, at that time, I don’t know whether Shenwulou wants to sell himself to Brother Xie, or sell Brother Xie to himself first.

En thinking too much.Wen Jiang quickly patted his face to wake himself up.

"What's the matter with you?" Xiao Luzi asked suspiciously, why did this guy get the favor of the master? Is there really anything that he can't compare to? Hmph, isn't it just that he can cook? than it!

According to Xiao Luzi, his master doesn't have any special preferences. If he had to say it, the taste is too strong and spicy, but because of his family, he usually eats lighter food, so he always likes to come to the south, saying that The peppers on the side are delicious, of course, this is because Xiao Luzi discovered it because of his meticulous and attentive service to his master.Although he said a lot of nonsense earlier, Wen Jiang still expressed great affirmation and praise for his final conclusion. Sure enough, Xiao Luzi raised his chin and said a few more words kindly: "Master values ​​taste, appearance is not very care."

This sentence also made Wen Jiang slightly relieved, because although he can cook, he really doesn't have the skills that chefs can carve a peony from a radish.

The first dish is twice-cooked pork. When he was still in Qingxi Village earlier, he began to soak garlic in water, wait for it to grow garlic sprouts, and then cook. For example, today’s twice-cooked pork uses the best pork belly. After washing it, boil it with water, then take it out and cut it into slices and put it on a plate. After the water is drained, heat the pan and pour the meat down. Because the pork belly itself has oil, it is also possible not to put oil, wait for the fat When the meat is rolled up, put a spoonful of soy sauce to color the meat, and then add cooking wine, the air begins to be filled with the aroma of meat and a touch of wine. The next step is the most critical step, which is the bean paste. It is definitely a must for stir-fried twice-cooked pork. Twice-cooked pork without bean paste will lose its unique aroma. Doubanjiang is homemade by Wenjiang. In the previous life, his mother was best at making bean paste, and one of them is very important. The material, my mother calls it gold, pay attention, this gold is not that kind of golden thing, but a kind of plant, after the watercress is cooked, put this plant on it, wait for the watercress to hair, and then chop it The pickled peppers are combined together, and the homemade bean paste is ready.Although Wen Jiang felt a little scary when he saw the hairy Douban for the first time when he was a child, it is undeniable that adding some when stir-frying meat dishes can make the meat more intense and delicious.It is an essential seasoning for Wen's home cooking.Finally, add the green pepper and red pepper and fry together.

"What's this thing called?" Xiao Luzi, who hadn't left, pointed to Wen Jiang and asked Wen Jiang to take out a small jar of bean paste.

"Golden Sauce." Wen Jiang said. Before he left Qingxi Village, he left many recipes for his family, including this one. When he was in Qingxi Village, he found that ordinary people in this era still mainly cook stews, so he followed suit. Tonghe Yu Huaisheng told him that he must make broad bean paste leisurely. There are broad beans, and Wen Jiang searched the mountains for a long time before finding that plant called gold.When I finally named it, I simply used the name of this plant, Golden Sauce, it sounds attractive, doesn’t it?

Xiao Luzi nodded: "I remembered, this little pot was specially bought by Uncle Xu from the Nanyue Provincial Government. It is very rare." So casually use up a tablespoon.

Wen Jiang shrugged, so what, the money went into his pocket anyway.

There are other helpers in the kitchen. After Wenjiang finishes frying this dish, another dish of squirrel fish is almost done. The reason for this dish, in addition to its good taste, is that its appearance can make people's eyes shine, the taste is sweet and sour, and it can also increase appetite.

Xiao Luzi was very interested in this dish, and as soon as it came out of the pot, he surrounded it in amazement: "Looking at it this way, it really looks like a squirrel." His eyes lit up.

Wen Jiang smiled and said, "That's why it's called Squirrel Season Fish."

Not long after, one dish after another was brought to the round table in the hall, the salty and delicious fish-flavored eggplant, and the bright red mapo tofu.

Second Master sat on the main seat, pointed to one of the dishes and asked, "What's this called?"

Wen Jiang looked over and said, "This is made of beef heart, beef tongue, and tripe. It's called Wufei, which comes from the homonym of no lung. It tastes delicious and spicy."

The second master said with interest: "The name is quite charming."

Hehe, it was just to cater to your old man who still wears white clothes in the cold wind in winter and keeps sneezing constantly.

The next dish was bandit pork liver. When this dish was served, Wen Jiang couldn't help but sneak a peek at the surroundings. He didn't feel anything, and curled his lips a little depressed. He knew it when he saw this dish. The second master caught it straight, and immediately laughed: "What's wrong with Xiaoqi, is there anything special about this dish?"

Wen Jiang was captured by someone, and his face immediately became embarrassing, but when he thought that the person was most likely to be here, he said bluntly: "Yes, Er Ye, this is a dish that a friend of mine likes very much. I was just thinking, It would be great if he was here today. I told him that I would cook him a lot of delicious food in the future, but—” He stopped talking when he said this.

"But what?" Second Master was quite interested.

Wen Jiang shook his head: "Nothing."

Immediately afterwards, another dish was brought to the table, Dongpo pork, diced beef stir-fried with onions, etc.

Vegetarian Wenjiang made shiitake mushrooms and celery lily. After eating a table full of meat dishes, eat a few more of these two dishes, and you will feel light and refreshing, and relieve the greasiness.

The last dish is chicken vermicelli soup. I chose the best chai chicken. For this soup, Wenjiang asked them to empty out the internal organs of the chicken in advance, and then stew the whole chicken for two hours. After the water boiled, put the top layer The shallow oil is scooped out, and then stewed. Put the codonopsis and astragalus in the chicken belly. There is a folk saying that stewed chicken with astragalus is better than ginseng. [Note 1] I was worried that the second master might not be used to the taste of astragalus, so I checked it again. Lao Xu told him that there was no problem, so he decided to make this soup, and then put in vermicelli. Before the soup was served, he sprinkled a handful on it Shallots, to enhance the flavor.

The second master looked at the table of delicious food in front of him, with a smile on his face: "It's hard work, Xiaoqi, let's sit down and have a meal together." He said again: "I asked your big friend to follow Lao Xu, and the little guy asked him to come over. Together."

Wen Jiang was stunned for a moment, looking at Shen Song who was brought over, first took a deep breath, and then saw his eyes light up: "Brother Wen!" He hugged Wen Jiang's arm: "It smells so good, did Brother Wen make it?" ?”

"Well, Xiao Diu is very good today. Brother Wen said he will cook something delicious for you." Wen Jiang stroked his hair.

Second Master asked Xiao Shan to be taken away, but agreed to Shen Song sitting at the same table with him, Wen Jiang's eyes darkened.

"Ah, that's right." At this moment, Second Master said suddenly.He rubbed his chin, stared at Wen Jiang, and smiled maliciously. "Xiao Qi." Er Ye lengthened the ending sound, and the ending sound that turned seven or eight turns made Wen Jiang tense all over, as if he was being targeted by some large animal, and the chill permeated people. "Would you like to be my man?"

ha? ! ! ! ! !

Wen Jiang's eyes widened. At this moment, he only felt the malice from the universe!

Hehe, hehe, if Second Master, your expression is not so wretched, and your eyes don't deliberately look to the side, then the credibility of your words will probably increase from one ten thousandth to one ten thousandth one point one.

Sure enough, in the next second, a familiar warm voice sounded behind Wen Jiang——

"Second Master was just joking, Xiao Qi doesn't have to take it seriously." The visitor walked behind Wen Jiang, put a hand on his shoulder, and pressed down.

Wen Jiang instantly felt a scorching temperature, from his warm palm penetrated his clothes, scalding a small piece of skin on his shoulder, and gradually spread to every part of his body.

"Xiaoqi, we meet again." The man frowned, bent slightly, and said softly into Wen Jiang's ear.

At this moment, he couldn't help but tremble slightly.
