Chapter 68 Sweet and Sour Four-tailed Carp
At night, Zhao Zhen and Bai Zhi set up a table in the backyard. On the table were two plates of "Qiaoguo" made by Bai Zhi, and then there were seasonal fruits: watermelon, Mulberries, plums, peaches and the like.
Zhao Zhen first sent people to send sobering soup to all the heroes. Because he made more Qiaoguo Angelica dahurica, he also sent people to send it to all the heroes to taste it. Today, all the heroes did not return to their respective stations, but rested in the East Cross Courtyard.
Zhao Zhen had sobered up slightly at this time, and sat opposite Bai Zhi. Bai Zhi said: "My lord, would you like another bowl of sobering soup? Can Nunu bring it to you?"
Zhao Zhen said: "It doesn't matter, I'm mostly awake. I saw you went out again, what were you doing?"
Bai Zhi said: "This evening, together with Ruan Erlang's Hun sister Bai, Zhong Mu's wife Sun sister, Li Xiaoer's wife Wang sister and the Zhong family's sister, they all came to my parents' house to beg for tricks."
Zhao Zhen said: "How about winning or losing? Let me guess, but Li Xiaoer's wife and Wang family won?"
Bai Zhi asked curiously: "How did the officials know?" Zhao Zhen laughed but said nothing.
Bai Zhi said: "There is a lot of noise in the village today. In order to keep things quiet, I and a few others have made an appointment to meet in the front yard of my parents' house. Now that everyone has gathered, I and a few others will kneel down to the Vega and beg the Vega to bless us. She was very clever. Then she took out the colorful silk thread and seven silver needles she had prepared in advance and threaded the needle against the moon to see who could thread the seven needles first. It was Sister Wang who finished second. The sister of the Zhong family got two needles faster."
As expected, Li Xiaoer's wife Wang Lan is one of the rare people who has skills before awakening, even though she is just a producer. Occupation will always be useful in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen suddenly realized that his arrangement was probably wrong. Now he arranged for Wang Lan to serve as Li Xiaoer's assistant and help the chef in the village. When he first saw the talent, he inevitably wanted to stay. Although he would be paid a monthly salary, if he learned cooking skills, Wang Lan would not let himself fail to train him as a tailor craftsman in the future.
I just got a lot of silk and satin, so I opened a tailor shop in the past few days and let Wang Lan take charge of it. Although most of the people in the village are poor and their clothes are cut and sewn by themselves, they can make them themselves and sell them in the main world.
It can also be used to make summer clothes for the heroes in charge of the village, which can not only exercise Wang Lan's skills, but also win people's hearts, killing two birds with one stone.
Seeing Zhao Zhen in a daze, Bai Zhi said angrily: "Officer, what are you thinking about?"
Zhao Zhen put away his thoughts and said: "I heard that Wang is so good at women's beauty. , why don’t you open a clothing store? I have a lot of cloth at home, so I will make some summer clothes for you first.”
After hearing this, Bai Zhi turned from anger to joy, and the two of them had a little fun. Taking advantage of the moonlight, I ate Qiaoguo and had a few glasses of wine. Since ancient times, "romantic tea is the matchmaker, and wine is the matchmaker of sex." Zhao Zhen had five or six glasses of wine first, and then had a few glasses of wine with Bai Zhi. After a while, the wine was strong, and he felt his spring heart fluttering. It was the time when the two of them were deeply in love and in love with each other.
Hugging each other and returning to the house, Zhao Zhen took out a dagger made of sapodilla wood and handed it to Bai Zhi, saying: "This dagger is carved from sapodilla wood. It is considered a second-level treasure. It has the ability to exorcise ghosts." It has the ability to ward off evil spirits. It is only one and a half feet long, so it can be carried on your body."
Bai Zhi took it with a look of joy. He turned around and put down his dagger, and said shyly: "Officer, it's time to rest." Then he untied his shirt by candlelight. In the past, I would only take off my clothes after turning out the lights.
Looking at beauties under the lamp makes them more charming. His clothes are half-undressed and his face is as red as a peanut.
The eyebrows are like willow leaves in early spring, often holding the rain and hating the clouds;
The face is like a peach blossom in March, with a hint of amorous feelings.
The slender waist and the restrained swallows are lazy and carefree;
The sandalwood mouth is light and seduces bees and butterflies into chaos.
The jade looks enchanting and the flowers explain the language, and the graceful face and graceful jade are fragrant. The romance on my pillow, flattering me in every possible way all night long.
The next day, Zhao Zhen and Bai Zhi got up a little late. They still practiced Ba Duan Jin in the backyard, and then went to the east courtyard to practice martial arts. The heroes had not seen each other for many days. Today was a rare opportunity to catch each other and fight.
Everyone twisted into three groups, Jiao Ting and Tong Guanghui competed with each other, and banging sounds could be heard from time to time;
Han Bolong held an eyebrow-length stick, and Du Qian held a full-length stick. It is made of ash wood. Both of them are very strong. When they pick up the sticks, the sound of whining is endless. The two sticks come together from time to time, making a banging sound.
Bao Xu used a mourning sword, and Ruan Xiaoqi used a three-pronged fork. Both of them used sharp weapons, so they held back their strength and fought equally.
The other three people and all the villagers gathered around to watch. Seeing this fight between dragon and tiger, they cheered loudly. After fighting for more than ten rounds, everyone gave up when they saw Zhao Zhen arriving.
Only then did everyone train Zhuang Ding. Zhao Zhen picked up the double swords and followed Guang Hui to practice the Shaolin door-protecting double swords twice. He also took out a steel fork and followed Ruan Xiaoer to practice the thirteen-position Taibao Fork.
Zhao Zhen suffered the disadvantage of having no one to teach him in the main world. When he saw martial arts, he always wanted to learn how to master it. Although he also knew that he could bite off more than he could chew, and skills depended on being refined rather than chewing off more than he could chew. It was just greed, and I couldn't change it for a while, so I made excuses for myself and learned from everyone's strengths. At yesterday's banquet, I also agreed with Du Qian that I would practice the 72nd Taizu Long Stick.
After practicing martial arts for an hour, the weather started to get hot, and everyone just dispersed. Breakfast was served in the kitchen. After everyone ate, they went back to their rooms to rest, waiting for the lunch banquet.
Today Zhao Zhen arranged three tables alone. Just after noon, all kinds of wine, meat, dishes, and fine fruits were served like water, and the two tables were piled full. Today's dishes are much more exquisite than yesterday. Zhao Zhen even asked for 36 four-tailed carps to be made into sweet and sour carps. They were caught every day, and there were still 22 four-tailed carp left on the farm.
The largest four-bearded carp Zhao Zhen has ever seen weighs only three kilograms, and larger ones have never been caught. Today we are inviting everyone to a banquet to increase their physical fitness.
Table 1: Zhao Zhen, Guang Hui, Jiao Ting, Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, Han Bolong, Bao Xu, Tao Zongwang, Du Qian.
Second table: Zhao Yuanli, Ding Chou, Tang Tian, Zhusha, Sun Zheng, Wang Lun, Yun Ge, Li Xiaoer, Li Xiaming, Wang Benxing, Cai Zhong (former Xiangjun commander), Li Liang, Tian Dasheng.
Third table: Bai Duo, Li You, Chao Cuo, Tang Sen, Zhao Ji, Li Gu, Zhang Da, Yang Mazi, Li Ji, Xiang Mao (perfumer), Zhong Rang, Gao Lun ( Former Xiangjun Commander), Zhang Wang.
Everyone sat down and the cook brought out the sweet and sour carp and placed a plate in front of each person.
Zhao Zhen said: "Brothers, this four-tailed carp is a specialty of Liangshan Township, and it is also a spiritual fish. Today I will share it with you."
As he said this, he picked up a pair of chopsticks and saw that the fish was golden in color. It tasted charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It was sweet and sour, and it was a spiritual fish with delicious meat. Soon after Zhao Zhen finished eating the plate of sweet and sour fish in front of him, he felt hot all over. I glanced at the log and found that my physique had indeed increased a bit.
Seeing that everyone had finished eating the spirit fish, Zhao Zhen still did not go to serve the wine. He stood up and said: "Brothers, we have grown from a small Xixi village to a Liangshan Township with more than a thousand households. Thanks to the hard work of all the brothers and the hard work of the stewards, I can be considered at ease here due to the fog. Now that I have been rewarded by the county, I am the commander of the battalion. We can recruit 500 sergeants and appoint two deputy commanders, two commanders and five deputy commanders. However, there is no supply in the county now, and we all rely on ourselves to raise military supplies and equipment. In fact, it is said that it is a combat army. They are just rural soldiers.
Now there are 176 Zhuang Dings, including those selected from the prisoners and newly recruited. They will all be able to join the army in the future if they are well trained. Medium effectiveness.
Things are not what they used to be. Based on past merits, duties are redefined today and everyone must abide by them. ”
