When the hot pot festival opens, the first people to show ugly eating looks are not the people from Gaojia Village.
Because Gaojiacun is rich in supplies, it has already passed the stage of "starving ghosts snatching food".
What’s ugly are the civilians escorting the food!
They were all miserable poor people. After being recruited by the government, they pushed grain carts all the way from Hancheng and walked more than a hundred miles to Gaojiacun. They were already exhausted and had not had a good meal on the way. .
Now that I see so many colorful ingredients and a big pot of water that has been boiled, I can't bear it anymore.
A group of villagers looked at the Gaojia villagers timidly and did not dare to attack. However, when the Gaojia villagers saw the saint winking at them, they understood and laughed together. They picked up the table with chopsticks and prepared it beforehand. The prepared food was poured into the pot.
Pork slices, tripe, duck intestines, lotus root slices...
All kinds of food immediately started rolling in the pot, and the aroma of hot pot filled the air.
There was a hint of spiciness in the fragrance, but the peasants didn't notice it.
I was so hungry that I saw that the owner allowed me to eat, so I quickly picked up a piece of meat from the pot with long chopsticks and wanted to put it in my mouth.
Gao Yiye quickly stopped: "You guys have different physiques from us in Gaojia Village. You must not eat the ingredients in the red soup pot randomly. Be careful, diarrhea will kill you. You can only eat the food in the clear soup pot."
Only then did the villagers discover that there were two kinds of pots here, one with red soup base and the other with white soup base...
After being reminded, they then remembered that the red soup base smelled a little wrong. They walked to the soup pot, picked up the freshly cooked ingredients, and threw it into their mouths...
Hiss! So hot, so hot!
But it’s so cool!
"The taste is so rich, with salt, oil, and pepper... such rich seasonings, so delicious."
How often had the peasants eaten such delicious food that they burst into tears all of a sudden, just like an abandoned kitten crying while eating when being fed by humans.
Hong Chengchou's soldiers and servants then came together and enjoyed it together, and then made a sound of exclamation.
Now that the guests have started, the Gao family villagers don’t wait any longer and start eating!
More than 4,000 people gathered around hundreds of large pots and boiled them together.
"Wow, the red soup pot tastes great."
"Silk! It's so spicy. I can't stand the taste. I want to eat clear soup."
"Eh? Aren't you used to it? I think it's so spicy."
Most people are not used to spicy food. Fortunately, Li Daoxuan had already prepared it. There were not many red soup pots, only a dozen or so. Clear soup pots were the mainstream, so most people had clear soup pots to eat, but a few people were used to it. Spicy people gather around red soup pot
While eating, he made embarrassing noises.
Soon, Hong Chengchou's men merged with the people of Gaojia Village. There was no distinction between their identities, and they became "wine and meat friends" eating around the same pot.
"Come on, brother, try this piece of meat, it's delicious."
"Xuewang has such a strange taste."
"But it's really delicious, hahahaha."
"Here, scald this bamboo shoot."
"It's almost summer now, but you actually still have bamboo shoots to eat? How did you preserve them until now?"
"This is bamboo shoots from the fairy world, regardless of the season."
"Hahaha, just lie to me with all your lies."
Hong Chengchou, who received free coins, saw his men mingling with the Gaojiacun people and eating happily. He couldn't help but think to himself: This food looks really delicious. The key is that the atmosphere is very warm. After just one meal together, they became like old friends for many years. It was strange, it was really strange and contagious.
Just as he was thinking of this, Thirty-Two came over and said, "Master Hong, we have specially opened a table for quiet hot pot. You can come and have a meal too."
Although Hong Chengchou looked neat and tidy on the surface, he was actually tired and hungry. He couldn't bear it now and nodded: "Then I'll excuse you."
He got off his horse and followed Thirty-Two into the main castle.
We came to a large patio. There were also pots placed in the middle of the patio, and there were two pots, one for clear soup and one for red soup.
This group of senior management from Gaojiacun.
The people eating Xiaozao here are Gao Yiye, Sanshier, Third Miss, Tan Liwen, Mr. Wang, Mrs. Bai, and Mr. Bai. When they saw Hong Chengchou coming, everyone bowed to them.
Hong Chengchou was used to dealing with this kind of situation. When entertaining in officialdom, he would often eat with a table of people he didn't know. Anyway, they were all family members of wealthy gentry families, so it didn't matter.
He cupped his fists casually as a gift and sat down next to the two pots.
As soon as he sat down, he frowned.
The hot pot had a spicy smell and a strong smell of butter. The smell could easily get on his clothes, which would greatly affect his appearance.
This time I didn't prepare any replacement official uniform. If I set out for Xi'an tomorrow and the governor smells butter on him, it would be really embarrassing.
He quickly sat a little further away from the red soup pot.
He picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the freshly blanched meat slices in the clear soup pot. He raised his brows slightly, Huh?
This thing is surprisingly delicious. The seasoning is so rich, you can taste various rich flavors such as salt, pepper, ginger, garlic, etc. in one bite.
To make this pot of soup, just adding all the seasonings costs a lot of money.
Then I thought about it, hundreds of pots were boiling in the open space outside.
this...
How powerful is this village?
I couldn't help but be shocked.
Li Daoxuan "paid attention" to the subtle changes in his expression, and couldn't help but secretly said: Are you scared? Hey hey hey!
"Sir Hong, are you escorting the grain and grass to Xi'an this time because the governor finally plans to deal with the banditry?" Thirty-Two was still very concerned about this: "No more waiting for them to plunder in the next spring"? "
Hong Chengchou heard the ridicule in Thirty-Two's tone and immediately understood that this person couldn't understand the governor's policy. It was a coincidence that I couldn't understand it either.
It's not always exciting to praise others together, but if you want to curse others together, it will be exciting.
Hong Chengchou snorted and said: "Hu Yanyan is old and fatuous, and he still can't see clearly the situation in Shaanxi. Last year he said that he would "take it until next spring to decide by himself", but now that spring is almost over, there is no trace of the thieves. Do you want to make your own appearance? Hey, it is getting worse and worse. The word "self-made" is really ridiculous. To deal with these evil thieves, we must use the word "suppression". "
Thirty-two said: "Oh? In other words... the food and grass you escorted this time are going to be used by the governor to pay the army and send troops to suppress the bandits.
Hong Chengchou nodded: "Yes! The governor has realized it now and must send troops to suppress it. Especially Baishui Wang Er, the trouble is getting more and more violent now. If we don't send troops to deal with it, I'm afraid it will be too big."
As soon as the word "Wang Er" was spoken, everyone present became energetic.
Even Li Daoxuan wanted to ask: How is Wang Er doing now?
