Abalone feast, this is what Xiao Yueye and her family are currently looking forward to as they sit around the edge of the table. wWw!QunabEN!COm
On the empty table, there are only small spoons, chopsticks, and water. Xiao Qian, his son, and Xiao Yueye were sitting around the table, looking forward to it.
The double-headed premium abalone makes my heart beat fast just thinking about it, let alone eating it.
For a moment, no one knew what to say, and the atmosphere at the scene showed a strange tranquility. What could be heard was the deep breathing of some people and the constant swallowing of saliva.
Xiao Jizong's laughter broke the tranquility: "Haha, Xiaoye, this time my uncle has taken advantage of you. I have been coveting that double-headed top-quality abalone for a year or two. Unfortunately, your grandfather refused to take it out. Eat. I said at that time, this abalone is precious, it is still an abalone and will not turn into gold. Therefore, being eaten is the greatest value of this abalone. As a result, I was severely beaten by your grandfather. "
He told the past events in a self-deprecating way, causing Xiao Yueye and others to laugh involuntarily. Xiao Qian couldn't laugh or cry when he heard what his son said. He could only stare and said, "You still have the nerve to say that? Such a grown-up man actually took his son to the secret room to steal. If I hadn't been so dedicated that day, I wouldn't have known. I gave birth to a son who can pierce holes!"
Xiao Jizong smiled awkwardly and scratched his head: "It's true, Dad, why do you say that to me in front of juniors?"
"Then what should I say?" Xiao Qian's voice was loud and clear: "You said it yourself out of trouble, why do you blame me? The reason why Qi'er has become such a mess now is because of you, a crooked person."
"Then how can you blame me?" Xiao Jizong said aggrievedly: "It was your first time to take Qi'er to a brothel... Ah, it hurts!"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Qian, who blushed, slapped him hard. Xiao Jizong rubbed the beaten head vigorously, and saw that his father's eyes were about to burst into flames, so he hurriedly closed his mouth.
It's over, I let something slip for a moment, now I'm dead.
Xiao Yueye tried her best to hold back her laughter, her face twitching, which was uglier than crying. Except for Yin Caiju, who laughed softly, and Rourou, the other four girls turned their heads away slightly, wanting to laugh but not daring to.
Xiao Qian coughed slightly, took a quick drink of water, and changed the subject: "Come to think of it, Qiu'er, this bastard has been in the capital for a year and has never thought of coming back to see us. You bastard, he must be wild at heart." ”
Xiao Yueye responded hurriedly: "There is nothing we can do about cousin Xiao Qiu even if he wants to come back. Grandpa, you don't know that he was seriously injured in the capital. He is probably still lying in bed recovering from his injuries!"
"Don't say nice things to that bastard. Don't I know who he is? This guy has breasts and is a mother. When he sees a woman from the capital, he can't move his legs." Xiao Qian said fiercely, gritting his teeth. Yes, there is a strong intention to tear Xiao Qiu into pieces when he sees him.
"If you don't have milk, it's daddy." Xiao Jizong muttered, but did not dare to say it loudly.
Xiao Yueyue smiled coquettishly and said nothing. To be honest, if he hadn't been seriously injured, what Xiao Qiu was doing now would probably be exactly what Xiao Qian said. Moreover, even if he is lying at home, he is not a man who can take time off. According to Ouyang Xiaohua's account, he and Xiaosi went to the brothel several times with Xiao Qiu, who was still injured, to look for women. . . . . .
"You damn boy, he'd better stay in the capital forever and never come back, otherwise, I'll skin him!" Xiao Qian said in a fierce tone, but in the eyes of others, this was just an old man's angry words. After all, Xiao Qian hasn’t seen his grandson for a year, think about it! Especially this grandson who almost went to hell.
"Okay, Dad, stop talking. Look, the abalone is here." Xiao Jizong said hurriedly with quick eyes.
As soon as I heard the abalone was coming, the atmosphere suddenly became excited, and I stared at the chef who was bringing it in.
The cook is fat and strong, and looks very rich. But at this moment, every step he took was cautious and orderly, and his eyes were fixed on the bowls he held in his hands without blinking, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
There is no way, here are four top-quality two-headed abalone!
Double-headed abalone, this legendary abalone that he had heard his grandfather and father mention since he was a child, this treasure that every abalone chef dreams of, is in his hands at this moment.
How could he not be nervous
In fact, he's fine now. When cooking in the kitchen, he almost couldn't hold the spatula. Cooking abalone is different from cooking. It requires the chef's complete skills to accurately control the heat and maximize the taste of abalone.
So you can imagine his excitement and nervousness when he took over four double-headed abalone and knew he had to cook it himself.
Fortunately, luckily it didn't mess up. Although he is very nervous, the chef is also very satisfied with his current craftsmanship.
The abalone has been cut as required and served in a milky white porcelain bowl.
Xiao Yueye tasted a little of the rare juice inside first, and suddenly a strange umami taste rushed into her mind. He took a sip of water to wash away all the other flavors in his mouth, and then began to taste the taste of this top-quality double-headed abalone.
The seven people present were all immersed in this delicious food, especially Yin Caiju, the cook, who was not only tasting the taste, but also the cooking skills inside. Although she doesn't know much about cooking abalone, she can taste it to see if the abalone is cooked properly. Therefore, the chef, after going around in a circle, focused entirely on Yin Caiju.
Yin Caiju's closed eyes slowly opened, revealing a smile: "It's so amazing, every trace of the abalone's flavor is brought out to the limit. It's awesome, it's awesome!"
After hearing such a comment, the chef finally took a deep breath.
This is probably the most elegant meal Xiao Yueye has ever eaten in her life. He always eats with great vigor, like a hungry tiger pounces on its food, no matter how ugly it is. But now that he was tasting this half abalone, he couldn't help but taste it in small bites.
"As expected of the best double-headed abalone, it's really delicious. It's a pity that this kid, Qi'er, has been clamoring to eat it every day, but now he doesn't take it orally. Tsk, the two-headed abalone is so delicious, what will the other end taste like? "Xiao Jizong said with his lips every day.
Xiao Qian rolled his eyes at him: "That abalone is for me to use as a family heirloom. Don't make any decisions. If Qi'er wants to eat it, isn't there a two-headed abalone? Let Ye'er bring it to the capital. It just so happens that he and Ru'er half each."
The chef next to me was terrified! Did he hear it correctly just now? The old general said, an abalone? Is there really an abalone in this world
The chef's heart was about to beat. He could already imagine that he would definitely leave a lasting name in the chef world of Xi Province. Because not only did he cook four double-headed abalone, he also heard about the existence of one-headed abalone!
Hearing that Xiao Qian was going to take the last two-headed abalone to the capital, Xiao Yueye naturally nodded repeatedly. However, he also made up his mind that he would spend a lot of money to buy some good abalone when he was in Xi Province these days. Even if you don’t have the best two-headed abalone, three-headed abalone will do. After all, his family has a great business and there are so many elder friends, so it’s not easy to favor one over the other!
What's more, there is that precious daughter!
"Ah, look outside, it's snowing." Murong Yufeng exclaimed softly, pointed out the window and said in surprise.
Outside the boat, snowflakes flew down piece by piece. Because it was the first snow, the water vapor inside was relatively heavy, so the snow basically "fell" down. But even so, the snowflakes flying all over the sky suddenly gave people a very comfortable feeling.
"So beautiful!" The girls ran to the yard happily, spinning around in circles, trying to catch the snowflakes falling everywhere.
Xiao Yueye was also carried into the courtyard by the servants. His current body is not suitable for walking, so he can only be cared for every day.
"Rourou, do you still remember when we first arrived in the capital?" Yansha suddenly said with a smile, her eyes bent into crescent moons.
Rourou was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Sister, what do you mean?"
Yansha nodded, Jueyan's face full of smiles. She flipped her bare hands lightly, like a butterfly, and the inner strength quietly took shape. As her hands waved, they kept changing directions.
The wind suddenly changed direction. The scattered snowflakes all over the sky, as if being pulled by something, began to fly regularly, becoming more and more beautiful, and finally completely flew around a few people.
"Ah, it's so magical!" Yin Caiju said in surprise.
Rourou smiled lightly, took off her outer coat, walked lightly, swayed her waist slightly, and was already in the middle of the wind and snow. She had a smile on her face, her hands were clasped in front of her, and her white jade-like plain hands were pinching orchid fingers, which made people want to take a bite.
Yansha waved his hands twice, and the flying snow suddenly became faster, and with two "puff" sounds of impact in the air, it suddenly flew around Rourou.
Rourou's hands have already started to move, and her two white stripes are dancing meekly around her at the moment, soft and charming. Rourou spun gently on the spot, her hands constantly changing positions, like flying to the sky, like Chang'e, like the Goddess of Luo. And during those two days, Bai Su seemed to be under control, floating aside gracefully, adding infinite beauty out of thin air.
I don't know when, Murong Yufeng took out the guqin, and the song "Neon Dress Dance" fluttered gently in the wind. Her "Neon Dress Dance" is less gorgeous and charming, and more ethereal and elegant, which complements the soft dance at this moment.
Yin Caiju saw her three sisters all appearing, so naturally she was not to be outdone. She looked left and right, found a fallen leaf, and blew it gently. This time, she blew out a sound, but it was not the hoarse and unpleasant music she imagined. Instead, it was the sound of the breeze in the bamboo forest, the sound of white clouds floating, and the tinkling sound of Koizumi.
She used these very soft sounds to accompany Murong Yufeng's "Neon Dress Dance". Not only did it not affect the taste of the latter's original tune, but it added a lot of elegance.
Xiao Yueyue sat on the recliner, letting the snowflakes fall on her body, and then disappeared. His eyes were fixed on his four wives.
Because at this moment, he knew what tranquility and beauty were.
Not only him, but also the servants who gathered here for unknown reasons, as well as Xiao Qian and Xiao Jizong, can never forget the beauty of this moment in their lives.
Only then did they know what it means to be able to overwhelm a country or a city, what it means to have an ethereal appearance, and what it means to have the sound of nature. Many of the servants present liked to talk about this past event to their descendants in a drunken tone when they were old.
At this moment, everyone held their breath, fearing that they would affect the music and dance at this moment.
. . . . . .
This year's snow fell on the first day and stopped on the second day. It was a pity for the girls at that time. But starting from the third day, it has rained continuously for five days and five nights. It was already a vast expanse of white outside, covered in silver and covered with wax figures.
At the beginning, Xiao Yueye was happily fighting in the snow with the four girls, but later on, his brows were deeply frowned. The snow is really heavy, and judging by the weather, it doesn’t seem to be stopping.
This is already very abnormal. If it is here in Xi Province, it may be because it is close to the sea, so there is less snow every year than other places. But if the snow is so heavy this year, what will happen across the country
Snow disaster!
These two words suddenly jumped into Xiao Yueye's mind, making him horrified.
I hope this is not the case, otherwise, the whole country will really be in chaos.
The snow was falling endlessly, and the original excitement had disappeared. Xiao Yueye decided to return to the capital early. Firstly, if it snows all the way, it will definitely delay time; secondly, with this heavy snow, the capital will definitely be busy with affairs, and he, the Lord Protector of the Dragon, must rush back to deal with it.
So after Cheng Yue and his wife were picked up, Xiao Yueye and his group of seven quickly set off and rushed back to the capital.
Looking at the carriage in the distance and the knee-deep snow, Xiao Jizong reached out and grabbed a handful of snow and played with it: "Dad, let's see if there will really be a snow disaster this year."
Xiao Qian's eyebrows were serious, and he sighed and said, "It's very likely!"
"Then the capital will probably be in chaos. There hasn't been a snowstorm in so many years. The people below have probably forgotten how to deal with it, right?" Xiao Jizong said lightly.
Xiao Qian nodded. He was thinking much further than Xiao Jizong: "Snow disasters are not terrible, but disaster relief is terrible. This year's heavy snow may be an opportunity."
Xiao Jizong's eyes lit up: "Dad, what do you mean? Are we going to add fuel to the flames?"
Xiao Qian glared at his son: "Although I have killed countless people, I am not cruel enough to use the lives of Liming people to make political articles. Without us adding fuel to the flames, the people below may not be much better. I hope nothing big will happen this year. , otherwise, I wonder what Mo Zhiqi will do? Sometimes, having too many disciples is not necessarily a good thing! Mo Zhiqi, this time, if the people below you fail to live up to the expectations, it will be a disaster. If you die, you can’t blame anyone else!”
"There won't be any big trouble?" Xiao Jizong muttered twice, but his eyes were full of murderous intent: "I think there will definitely be big trouble this year. After all, the country has been stable for too long, and those moths have been comfortable for too long. It's just a pity. , the sky is angry, the suffering is still the common people! "
"Okay, let's go back. I'm afraid Xi Province will be hit by a disaster this year. You go and call officials from all over the place to discuss a solution. Do we have enough food in the warehouse?"
"Don't worry, Dad, our food is provided according to military pay. Even if it snows for a year, there will be no problem."
"That's good."
The snow was still flying, the sound of wind covered up the voice, and the heavy snow that did not stop soon wiped away the marks on the ground.
Xiao Yueye, who was in a hurry, didn't know the way inside. He kept walking back along the road, looking at the heavy snow outside the window, his heart became heavier and heavier. It has been seven days and seven nights, and the snow has not stopped at all. The further north you go, the heavier the snow becomes. In many places, it has reached as high as a person's waist. On the official road, you can see soldiers cleaning up all the way. Even so, in many places, one had to rely on internal strength to blow the snow away from the road.
The joy of returning home has been replaced by pity and sadness. Even the naive Yin Caiju saw many poor families freezing to death on the roadside along the way. This year's snowfall was so heavy that it exceeded everyone's imagination. Even in prefectures and counties that had made good preparations, many people starved to death and froze to death. Houses crushed by snow can be seen along the way.
What frightened Xiao Yueye the most was that many states and counties were not properly organized and had not yet made effective plans to make up for the situation when people were displaced and lacked enough to eat and wear warm clothes. In some places, even the granaries were not open at all, and they watched helplessly as the people starved to death and froze to death.
Seeing this, Xiao Yueye felt a fire burning in her heart. But he also knew that he couldn't stop. Because he was delayed in one place, there were still countless places across the country! All he could do was to rush back to the capital and arrange everything.
However, along the way, Xiao Yueye also remembered those beasts who were unkind for being rich and dishonest for serving as officials. After returning to Beijing, he would never let them go!
Wherever there is a "money coming ticket number", Xiao Yueye will always ask for disaster relief! At the same time, he also found the Dragon Guard sub-rudder, and as the commander-in-chief, asked them to send a letter to the chief helm as soon as possible, asking them to organize people for disaster relief.
Because as time went by, Xiao Yueyue discovered a very serious situation: more and more disaster victims, and the incompetence of those who did things poorly and corrupt officials made all these victims boiling with resentment. If we don't think of a way, riots are imminent.
According to Xiao Yueye, these incompetent officials would never choose any other method except to face these poor people with their swords.
However, what Xiao Yueye didn't know was that the situation he was worried about had already happened in the north.
The north was originally a place with a cold climate, and local people made a living by farming. Such a long snowstorm has caused too many people to be displaced and without food or clothing. Moreover, because the disaster relief was not in place, public dissatisfaction boiled over. The victims in several places had already gone into riots and surrounded the government offices.
The most terrible thing is that the "Meng Yuan Kingdom" in the north shows signs of being ready to make a move.
This piece of information was all placed on Murong Liuyun's case through flying pigeons. He had a gloomy face at the moment, looking at the civil and military officials below with a cannibalistic expression. (Quanben Novel Website www.QUAbEn-XIAoShUo.com)
