When the wheat cakes were cooked, Mrs. Gong San ordered them down, dipped some soup on them, and then greeted everyone, "Eat it, his sheep scorpion chooses the best lamb spine among all the sheep, and the meat quality is delicious." The best thing is that there is still a spinal cord in it, and it will come out with a light flick, and it will absorb enough soup, which is the most delicious."
Man Bao and the others also raised their hands.
Yin or looked at this, then looked at that, and finally picked a smaller piece and tasted it, but there was no mutton smell, just as Mrs. Gong San said, the meat was very delicious.
He has a weak spleen and stomach, so he chewed slowly, and when he picked out the spinal cord, they had already eaten the second piece of meat. Mrs. Gong San said: "Besides meat, wheat cake is also delicious. It is dipped in soup and has meat It is fragrant and has the fresh air of wheat fragrance, not greasy at all."
So everyone ate pancakes, and Yin Hu also picked up a piece of pancake, and then Mrs. Gong San asked those who still wanted to eat meat to take out the meat, and the shopkeeper poured soup into it, and then took a basket of vegetables and two plates of sliced meat. Thin slices of meat come to them.
Mrs. Gong San said: "This is the soup they made from the sheep bones at home. After eating the sheep scorpion, we can still eat the pot. In fact, it is the best to eat in this cold winter, but it is a pity..."
Mrs. Gong San shook her head, shook off her thoughts, and said with a smile: "But now there are few vegetables, only radishes and some cabbage, let's just eat."
But even so, everyone is very satisfied, especially the soup is very good. Man Bao drank a bowl, and a wave of warmth radiated from the inside to the outside.
Satisfied, Man Bao put down the bowl, but was reluctant to put down the chopsticks, and together with them picked up slices of meat and boiled them in the pot...
In the end, everyone, including Yin or, ate to their heart's content, and except for Yin or, everyone else was full without exception.
After Man Bao finished eating, he muttered: "You can't do this next time, it's not good to overeat."
Bai Erlang muttered: "Nine out of ten times you said that, but next time you still overeat. Except for Yin He, who can do it every time?"
Yin ignored them, and solemnly thanked Mrs. Gong San for her hospitality.
Mrs. Gong San was also fed up, and waved her hand: "Doctor Zhou has saved my life, isn't it just a few meals? If you come to Xiazhou next time, I will treat you to eat. Well, in fact, roast yellow sheep is also good Eat it, but it’s wild and hard to catch. If you stay long enough, I’ll ask my son’s father to take you into a deeper grassland, maybe you can find it. In fact, the gazelle that just entered autumn is the most delicious .”
She swallowed her saliva while speaking, and said: "At that time, the gazelle was fattened, and the meat was very tender. It was roasted with a layer of honey, and it tasted..."
After thinking about it, she said, "It's not worse than the sheep scorpions we ate today."
Man Bao couldn't help being fascinated, what a delicious thing it was.
Bai Shan also felt that Mrs. Gong San was of the same kind, so he began to plan, "In fact, if we go to the Western Regions, it is very likely that we will also pass through Xiazhou."
Man Bao and Bai Erlang chuckled, "We can resupply in Xiazhou then."
Mrs. Gong San not only invited them to eat mutton scorpions, but also knew that it was not easy for them to travel at this time, so she prepared some ingredients for them, including dried meat and pickled lamb legs that had been frozen outdoors to be particularly firm.
She said: "I have never traveled far, but my child's father often goes out, and he likes to bring pickled lamb legs when he goes out. If he gets hungry on the way, he can just cut off a piece of meat and grill it. It's very convenient. .”
Man Bao was dumbfounded, "Then you have to bring a baking pan."
"No need," Mrs. Gong San waved her hand and said, "Just ask your guards to bring a broad knife, and put it on the knife to roast."
Bai Shan and the others thought about it for a while, and found that it was true, "So it can still be like this."
So when they went back, they stared at Yang and Shu.
Yang Heshu asked helplessly, "Just tell me if you have anything to do. I went to see you in the morning, and I heard that you went out for an appointment."
Man Bao hurriedly said: "Mrs. Gong San invited us to dinner again, Brother Yang, how many people did you bring to Beijing this time?"
"Just take Wan Tian."
"Ah, does Wan Tian use a knife?"
Yang Heshu: "... Wan Tian takes care of my daily life, what does he use a knife for?"
Seeing the disappointment on the faces of the four people, he said: "But this time you people from the Imperial Hospital and the Imperial Medical Office will also go back. The yamen will send some escorts, and there will be officers and soldiers from the Dali Temple. People with knives are not It will be less."
Man Bao became happy when he heard that, and accepted the leg of lamb sent by Mrs. Gong San with confidence.
Yang Heshu didn't know that there was a leg of lamb wrapped in leaves in the box containing the ingredients. He bid farewell to Mrs. Cui early in the morning, touched Qi Ge'er's head, and led the people from the Tai Hospital out of the city.
He doesn't need to worry about returning to Beijing, these matters are all arranged by Dali Temple.
This time Dali Temple sent an imperial decree to investigate Xiazhou's affairs by the way, and then sent Yang Heshu and Niu Cishi and his son to the capital.
That's right, Niu Kang, who was still alive, was also asked to enter Beijing, and compared to his father, his treatment was not good. Although he was not in shackles, he was guarded by the officials of Dali Temple. People are completely different.
Near noon, the motorcade stopped, and Mr. Zhao from Dali Temple asked everyone to stop and rest for half an hour, so as to have a meal and drink some water.
Man Bao jumped out of the carriage and went to let the wind go. At this time, there was still a lot of unmelted snow in the forest, and people stepped on it and made a crunching sound.
She couldn't help stomping, leaving her dirty footprints on the snow-white snow, looked around, and ran away with a guilty conscience.
Physician Lu thought it was cold, so he had asked someone to pick up firewood, and pulled out some charcoal they had brought with them to light the fire. He shrank his neck and shouted at her, "Physician Zhou, didn't you bring a leg of lamb? Why don't you just take it out and roast it for everyone to warm up?" warm up."
Man Bao refused, "It's only been half an hour, and the skin isn't even cooked. It's boring. Let's bake it at night."
Sure enough, she kept her word, and when they stopped at the inn at night, she took out the leg of lamb and roasted it, because there were too many people, she didn't need a big knife at all, and a leg of lamb was not enough for everyone to share.
Niu Kang sat aside and watched blankly. If he used to be disgusted, but these days he is treated differently. Even if his father intends to take care of him, his food and drink are worse than those of his peers. Don't do it now. He said it was roast leg of lamb, but he might be a bit greedy for roasted wool.
Man Bao glanced at him, and saw that there were more than a dozen pockmarks left on his face, which was really not good-looking, in fact, even if those ten pockmarks were removed, he would not be considered good-looking.
She shook her head, and after eating a piece of roast lamb, she asked vaguely: "Dali Temple brought him to Beijing like this, is it His Majesty who wants to punish him?"
After thinking for a while, Bai Shan shook his head and said: "It's impossible to ask about his crime. After all, he is not an official of the court. He said that he robbed Orchid by force, but in fact there is no evidence for this matter. As for the smallpox thing, he is not Deliberately, at most he can only hate him, but he can't ask the crime, his crime may have fallen on his father, and Niu Shishi's fault is even greater."
He said vaguely: "It depends on how well Feng Zongping's rumor spreads."
