There will be fifteen people from Chu Lian's family who came to the north this time, and there are more than thirty people including the guards and servants in the mansion.
Mo Chenggui is a veteran, probably because of the aura honed over the years in the battlefield, which always makes people afraid to approach easily, even to Tang Yan, the official of the King of Jin, he is also unsmiling. The deep scar on the road makes people feel indifferent, terrifying and inaccessible.
In the team going to the northern border, except for Chu Lian and the two maids beside her, Wenqing Wenlan, who were riding in a carriage, all the men were on horseback.
Even Qin Guanshi, who is not good at horsemanship, is just riding in front with the driver.
The further north you go, the colder it gets.
Chu Lian was wearing a big cloak, which was wrapped in a layer of fox fur, and kicked a Tang Pozi in her arms. Just like that, she still felt cold!
I'm really glad that I did a surprise exercise for half a month before departure, otherwise I would have fallen ill before arriving in the north.
The path was not smooth, and the road was rickety all the way. It was so rickety that he couldn't read the book, so Chu Lian brought Wenqing Wenlan to play the leaf card in the carriage in order to refresh himself.
Joy and laughter came from the carriage, and Mo Chenggui's face, which looked like a vicious robber, sank.
The reins in his hand also tightened a bit.
He had looked up to the young third grandma at first, after all, not every young girl has the courage to go to the bitter cold north, so seeing that she brought so much luggage, he didn't say a word.
But I didn't expect that she was still in the mood to play around in the carriage!
After all, it was Jiao Didi's noble daughter who was born. I thought it was a long trip somewhere, didn't I
It is estimated that she has never thought about how bad the weather in the northern border is. I am afraid that it will not be long before this young third grandmother will make a fuss and go back.
However, he was there to rescue and help the third young master. If the third grandma messed around halfway, what happened to her, he didn't care about his business!
Mo Chenggui raised the corner of his mouth coldly.
Although Tang Yan, who was riding on the other side of the carriage, had similar thoughts to Mo Chenggui, he just shook his head and smiled, not showing it on his face like Mo Chenggui.
He glanced at the carriage, his eyes narrowed like a sly fox.
hey-hey! He is also waiting to see a good show!
Qin Guan straightened the fur hat that covered almost his entire head, and put his hands into the cuffs of his cotton coat, like a big man in the Northeast. He squinted his eyes and kept looking at the generals and guards on both sides. When others were not paying attention, he curled his lips in disdain and hummed in his heart. The third grandma is right, these people rely on their brute strength, and they all like to look down on others. They are all egomaniacs, and dare to look down on their third grandma!
The stingy Guanshi Qin had already remembered Tang Yan and Mo Chenggui in his heart before he reached the northern border.
They had already been driving for a day, and seeing the sky darken, they were in a mountain forest at this time, and it was too dangerous to travel at night, so Mo Chenggui and Tang Yan agreed to sleep in the forest for one night.
The convoy stopped, Tang Yan ordered the fire to cook, and Mo Chenggui assigned veterans and guards to watch the night.
Chu Lian was helped out of the carriage by Wenqing. As soon as Chu Lian got off the carriage, she saw that Guanshi Qin, Li Xing and Li Yue had quickly arranged the tent for her to stay overnight.
Brother and sister Li Xing and Li Yue seemed to have been specially trained to take care of people outside. They said that Tang Yan and Mo Chenggui couldn't match the skill of putting up tents for temporary sleeping.
Chu Lian became more and more satisfied with the siblings.
Being helped by Wenqing to sit on the thick felt blanket outside the tent, Chu Lian began to direct his people to do things.
Chu Lian is a person who treats her own people well. Although she is sleeping in the wilderness, as long as she has the conditions, she will definitely not give in to food.
After all, people depend on food, and only when they are full can they have the energy to do other things.
Wen Lan raised the fire, set up a copper stove and started heating hot water.
Chu Lian directed Wenqing to take a special copper pot from the carriage. The center of the small copper pot seemed to have a small chimney, and then he grabbed several kinds of dried vegetables from an indigo cloth bag, and put the dried vegetables Soak in hot water.
Chu Lian personally poured different kinds of sauces into some bottles and jars. Li Xingde was ordered to go hunting with those generals in the nearby mountains and forests.
When Chu Lian was ready, Li Xing also came back with three fat rabbits.
Li Yue took the fat rabbit that was still alive and kicking, and went to the stream to deal with it.
In less than half an hour, Chu Lian's rabbit meat hot pot was ready.
Li Xing is good at knives. He slices the lean rabbit meat into thin slices. When eating, put the rabbit meat slices in the boiling hot and fresh soup for a while, and then you can directly put it in your mouth. up.
After eating a few mouthfuls of the spicy pot bottom, the whole body starts to warm up. Although the soaked vegetables are not as delicious as fresh ones, but in this cold winter, it is considered heaven to be able to eat dried vegetables when there are no shadows of vegetables in sight. gifted.
Taking advantage of the bonfire, Wenqing made another small pot of rice, which was served with rabbit meat hot pot.
Pour the soup base of the slightly spicy rabbit meat hot pot on the snow-white rice, red, red, white and white vegetables, even if you have a small appetite, you can eat a big bowl immediately.
Along with the third grandma Chu Lian's people, apart from the boring journey, what they look forward to most every day is the time to go camping and cook.
Chu Lian protects her shortcomings and never treats people around her stingyly. She eats what she eats every day, asks Qing Wenlan, etc. what she eats every day.
That's why Chu Lian asked Qing asked Lan Qin's steward Li Xing and Li Yue to boil the pot alone every time they camped. It was a wave.
The rabbits that Li Xing called back today were big and fat, so Chu Lian asked Wenqing to send some to Mo Chenggui and Tang Yan as well.
After eating warm rabbit meat hot pot, Chu Lian had already entered the tent to rest early in the morning under the care of Wen Lan and Li Yue.
Wenqing carried the food box and came to Mo Chenggui and Tang Yan's tent.
Wen Qing entered the tent, saw that Mo Chenggui and Tang Yan seemed to be discussing something, and they stopped talking when they saw her enter, but their expressions were not very good, obviously the conversation just now was not pleasant.
But these are not what Wen Qing should care about, she saluted the two and said: "The third grandma sees that the two adults have to work hard every day, so she specially asked the servant to bring some food over."
Mo Chenggui glanced at Lan disdainfully and asked Lan, he didn't even bother to reply, he felt very contemptuous, this young third grandma, besides enjoying herself, what else does she know to do all day long
What a liability!
If Chu Lian hadn't needed the title of rewarding the frontier army for his trip to the northern border, he would never have agreed to send such a delicate third grandma to the border!
Tang Yan was a well-rounded person, Mo Chenggui kept a dark face and said nothing, seeing that the atmosphere was going to be tense, he hurriedly said: "Miss Wenqing, please put down the food box, it's getting late, when you go back, I will thank you, Mr. Xiang."
Wenqing is not stupid either, of course she saw that Mo Chenggui and Tang Yan were dissatisfied with her master, and immediately she was unwilling to give them any good looks. After putting down the food box, she turned around and walked out of the tent, walking quickly , as if no longer want to stay for a second.
When Wenqing's figure disappeared at the door of the tent, Mo Chenggui snorted coldly, "I'm so lowly, the third grandma's good things are no good to be enjoyed, let's give them to Brother Tang!"
After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Tang Yan stared at Mo Chenggui's tall and strong back, and then shifted his gaze to the food box left by Wenqing not far away. Although he didn't show it on his face, he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart.
When is this, Mr. Jin Yixiang still only thinks about food
He coughed his sore throat and shook his head. After all, he was still young. It was probably just luck that he saved King Jin and Princess Duanjia in the teahouse last time.
Thinking about it this way, Tang Yan waved his hand and said to the two guards standing behind him: "The things sent by the Xiangjun are rewarded to you, don't waste them!"
The eyes of the two guards widened when they heard the words, and then their eyes were filled with joy and anticipation, and they even couldn't help drooling.
They just changed shifts and came in to watch the night. Before, Xiangjun brought people to cook food not far away. When the wind blew, there was a scent wafting over. The guards who had no problem going out to eat dry pot helmets smelled like Suddenly, I felt that the dry food and the freshly roasted rabbit meat in my hand were hard to swallow.
But these people have strict discipline, and the lord of the township has a different status from them, so they dare not openly ask for food, so they can only bear it, and finally put all the dry food into their mouths, but they almost rolled their eyes because of choking.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the sky is full of pies, and the adults actually want to reward them with the food sent by the Xiangjun!
The two immediately thanked each other loudly, and after discussing with each other, they planned to eat the food in the adult's tent, so as not to be robbed by the group of "starved ghosts" before taking a few bites. .
One of the guards smiled brightly and said: "My lord, we are on duty now, and it is not convenient to go out. Please allow us to eat here!"
Tang Yan glared at the two guards angrily, "It's cheap and good-looking, that's all, just eat here, and send the food box back to the township gentleman after eating, remember not to say that the food is for you two idiots ate."
"Yes, yes, thank you for your compassion."
The two immediately took the food box and hid on the low table in the corner, and opened the food box.
The eyes of the two guards lit up immediately, and they took a deep breath.
This is the taste! In the evening, Mr. Xiang ordered the people around him to do it.
I heard from brother Li Xing that this is called "rabbit meat hot pot", it is delicious!
Immediately, the two guards couldn't care about anything else, they took their chopsticks and began to feast on them.
Tang Yan had a cold these two days, but luckily it wasn't serious, but his mouth was tasteless and his nose was a little stuffy. Because of his illness, he had no appetite for anything these days, and now he only drank one or two bowls of porridge every day to satisfy his hunger.
He subconsciously sniffed, but suddenly a spicy and pleasant smell rushed into his nostrils.
He turned around following the smell strangely, and sniffed again, only to realize that the smell came from the dining table of the two guards.
Seeing that the entire faces of the two guards were buried in the porcelain plate, Tang Yan couldn't help swallowing.
What kind of dish is that
