Surprised by the young man's method of roasting a rabbit, even he, a cook who had served in the army for many years, was impressed. Especially when the young man roasted a rabbit, he controlled even the size of the fire, which made Lao Jin's jaw drop.
I saw the young man stringing several skinned and washed snowshoe rabbits one by one with wooden skewers, and placing them on the dismantled stove. When the fire started, he held the wooden skewers wearing the snowshoe rabbits in one hand, and held the palm of his hand in the other hand. If the fire is too strong, the young man will remove the inner force of his palms and use the charcoal fire in the furnace to roast the skin of the rabbit meat. If the fire is small, he will use his internal force to let the fire pick up and wrap the rabbit meat...
The young man's figure shuttled back and forth among several snow rabbits. In less than a moment, the rabbit meat that originally took more than half an hour to roast has been completed. The meat is golden in color, the skin is slightly warped, and the oil is spread on the crispy skin, condensing and forming, hanging down. It's so dripping that it makes people move their index fingers.
"It's a pity that there is no fennel..." I don't know whether it was because of the lack of seasonings or the lack of people in the Fengxue Temple to accompany him to eat rabbit meat, the young man sighed...
Suddenly, the air was quiet. Gu Xiao looked sideways and saw the chef Lao Jin and all the waiters, dumbfounded. They all stood aside and stared at him intently.
When it comes to the art of roasting meat, how could all the cooks be so surprised? What surprised everyone was that not only could this young man roast rabbit in such a short time, but the rabbit meat was so delicious that none of the cooks present were surprised. If you know how to cook it, you don’t need to open your mouth to taste it. Just take a look and you will know that the rabbit meat is already charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
"Young Xia's skill really opened my eyes to Lao Jin. I thought that after being a cook for so many years, I wouldn't be able to cook all kinds of delicacies, but I didn't expect that I couldn't compare to this most ordinary barbecue made by Young Xia." Lao Jin said. He stepped forward and praised in a low voice.
The cooks around him stood in front of the camp door, looking at each other, trying to find the answer in each other's eyes. When did this unfamiliar young man join the patrol army, and when did he enter the kitchen camp.
However, everyone had already been conquered by the young man's method of roasting rabbit, and the young man was brought by the chef Lao Jin, so they didn't want to talk more to get to the bottom of it. Just when they were about to applaud the young man, they heard the sound of soft applause coming from behind.
Everyone looked back and saw Xu An standing in the kitchen tent, clapped his hands lightly. Everyone was so fascinated by the young man roasting rabbit that they didn't even notice that someone entered the kitchen tent behind them.
"See General Xu!"
The waiters were about to perform a military salute when Xu An raised his hand to stop him. His nose flapped and he tried to smell the pleasant fragrance in the air, and said: "Old Jin, I didn't expect you to have such a hand. I just received the general's order and invited the distinguished guests, but before I could return, I was attracted by your smell."
Lao Jin blushed and said in embarrassment: "General Xu praised the wrong person this time. This was not done by me, but... by my cousin."
"Oh? I didn't expect that I, Old Xu, am too blind to recognize Mount Tai..." Xu An looked at the general who had finished roasting the rabbit meat and was putting the delicious rabbit meat into the brocade plate one by one. The young man in.
Gu Xiao knew very well that these military generals all had venomous eyes, and his unfamiliar face was so eye-catching. The general had already doubted him before, and he was afraid that he would see something again, so he pretended to be afraid of life. He lowered his head silently and replied in a low voice: "General, you are so complimentary. This villain has been poor since he was a child. He can only catch some hares to satisfy his hunger during his spare time from studying."
After finishing speaking, he looked at the general out of the corner of his eye. Before his eyes fell on her, he reached out to touch the big iron pot that Lao Jin had thrown aside. He quietly touched the ash from the bottom of the pot and smeared it on his cheeks. superior. Suddenly, the handsome boy turned into a dark-faced and dirty waiter.
Although Xu An was attracted by the smell of roasted rabbit and came to observe it, he had no intention of talking to Lao Jin and others about the meal. He thought about the time in his mind and figured out that the "distinguished guest" had already left for the General Palace. He immediately opened his mouth and ordered Lao Jin.
"The big tent also needs people to serve. I think this boy is good. It just so happens that you haven't reported to the general about his entry into the camp yet. Why don't you take him to the general's tent with you when you are young? This rabbit meat will definitely be able to Please make the general happy, and then take the opportunity to report it, and things will fall into place naturally."
Xu An's words played into Gu Xiao's heart. He was originally worried about how to enter the general's tent, but he didn't expect that the general had already thought of a way for him.
Lao Jin learned from Gu Xiao that there was someone behind the gourd poisoning. He was disturbed by the gourd's betrayal just now. He felt even more sorry for Big Mouth's death, and was confused for a moment.
Just now, while the young man was roasting rabbit, he had been thinking quietly. From the generals to the soldiers, all the guards were considered old people. The one who could instruct the gourd to poison him at this moment was none other than the "distinguished guest".
Hearing that Xu An asked him to take the young man into the general's tent to serve him, if it was true as the young man inferred, he could prevent the "distinguished guest" from making trouble. When the matter was revealed and the other party took the risk and tried to take action, he would use the young man's ability to save him. Maybe he can even help the general.
After thinking about this, Lao Jin hurriedly saluted Xu An and thanked him repeatedly. Seeing the young man's eyes wandering, as if he was in a trance, he called out: "Young...boy, hurry up, I haven't come to thank General Xu for his recommendation."
Gu Xiao was interrupted from his thoughts by Lao Jin's voice. He quickly turned around, walked quickly to Xu An, bowed and saluted, "Thank you, General Xu, for your kindness."
Xu An waved his hand and said: "Okay, no need for these false gifts. After delivering the rabbit meat in a while, after explaining this matter, find a reason and leave the tent quickly. After tonight... If not... then, give it to me Roast three or two rabbits and drink them with me, that's how you return my favor."
Gu Xiao seemed to be worried about tonight when he heard his words. He didn't know what was going on, so he had to pretend to be honest and grinned: "General, don't worry, I don't dare to forget."
Xu An bowed his head slightly and stopped talking to the young man. He turned to Lao Jin and said, "Okay, Lao Jin, I'll go first. You will take this kid with you later and send the wine and meat to General Gao's tent. Remember, I want to Now that you’ve made an excuse, finish delivering the rabbit meat and leave quickly.”
Lao Jin agreed. After the waiters watched Xu An leave, they clapped their hands and shouted to the waiters on the side: "Okay, everyone is done with the fun, hurry up and help..."
——
"Old Xu, why did it take so long for things to change?" In the general's tent, Gao Deng asked when he saw that Xu An didn't return after such a long time.
Xu An knelt down on one knee and said with a military salute: "Don't worry, sir, the general has secretly given the order before inviting the distinguished guest. As soon as the military banquet starts in the general's tent, he will immediately take action to bring the distinguished guest into the patrol." All the people in the garrison will be captured and await your disposal."
The swordsmen and axemen were secretly waiting outside the tent, and the soldiers had finished giving orders. However, Gordon's heart did not beat violently, and he was panicking. He thought to himself: "Is it possible that he has been pretending to be a straw bag general all these years? Are you pretending to be cowardly? At this moment, there are no masters around Wang Heng, and this has become a certain death situation for me, and Wang Heng seems to be unaware, how can I feel so panicked? "
Then he deduced the entire capture strategy in his mind and made sure that he had not missed anything. He suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and finally replied: "Thank you for your hard work, Old Xu. I will throw a cup as a sign..."
"The general will save you, please be at ease." Xu An, who has led troops for many years, naturally saw a trace of panic in Gordon. He also thought that he had been pretending to be stupid for many years, and he was just a little unfamiliar for a while, so he didn't care.
The two had just finished talking when footsteps sounded outside the tent, followed by laughter.
"I thought General Gao suddenly changed his temper and looked down on us and other reckless people." The person who spoke opened the curtain of the general's tent and bowed in. Dressed in snow, he was none other than Wang Heng.
Seeing Wang Heng entering the account, Gao Deng's serious look on his face suddenly disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face. He seemed to have returned to the flattering straw bag he had been before. He hurriedly got up from his position and rolled down.
That's right, he was about to roll down. Because Gao Deng was fat, when he was descending the steps, he accidentally tripped and fell to the ground. He rolled all the way to the bottom of Wang Heng's feet and stopped.
He stood up quickly, coughed a few times, put away his embarrassment, and said flattering words to Wang Heng: "Where is the young master? Without the young master, Gao Deng would still be in the military prison of Wanjun, let alone be able to survive today." Take control of the garrison again."
Wang Heng sneered in his heart. When he stopped marching earlier, Gordon's slightly murderous eyes showed everything. For some reason, this idiot dared to betray the Golden Knife Sect, and now he is still pretending to be stupid in front of him. , but he didn’t know yet that Gouzi had poisoned the food at the military banquet under his instruction...
"Haha, those who know the current affairs are heroes. If General Gao is willing to continue to serve... me, it will be good. Then... Mojun's matter." Although he cursed in his heart, Wang Heng still spoke politely, just for the sake of stability. Living in Gaodeng, Elder Xu has not returned yet. If there is a stalemate, Wang Heng is not completely sure yet.
When Gao Deng heard Wang Heng mention the murder of Mo Jun again, the coldness in his eyes suddenly disappeared, and then a smile formed in his small eyes.
"Of course I'm following the Young Master's orders. Isn't this... It's freezing cold. I was worried that the Young Master and the brothers wouldn't be used to the weather in the North, so I ordered a military banquet. Don't worry, Young Master, you'll have enough to eat and drink. I'll order someone immediately. Break out the stronghold and rush to Mojun without waiting for sunrise... As for the other counties, I have sent scouts to report quickly that no Yanbei army will appear in Mojun."
Hearing the words and laughing, Wang Heng seemed to be very satisfied with Gordon's arrangement, but in fact he had already made a plan in his mind to eradicate Gordon and these patrols before that.
Then go to Mo County at night and kill all the people. By then, you and the Jindao Sect members will be like ghosts and have never appeared in Yanbei. No matter how you investigate then, there will be no results. But the first step of any plan is to take the lives of the idiot in front of him and hundreds of his soldiers.
Fading his smile, Wang Heng immediately spoke in agreement: "When General Gao said this, I also felt a little chilly in my body, so General Gao, let's have a good meal and then hit the road."
The word "on the road" was deliberately emphasized by Wang Heng. When Gao Deng and Xu An heard it, they naturally heard a different meaning. The two looked slightly sideways and exchanged glances.
Xu An understood and shouted loudly outside the tent: "Come here, tell us about the military banquet."
Within a moment, I saw Lao Jin leading a young butcher with a dark face, holding a roast rabbit, and respectfully entered the general's tent.
There was a roasted rabbit with a carving knife inserted in it. Not only Gao Deng and Xu An, but also Wang Heng were attracted by the smell of rabbit meat in front of them.
Wang Heng secretly thought it was a pity and swallowed his saliva. If he hadn't known that the military banquet had been poisoned by that guy Gouzi, he would have been exposed to rabbit meat all the time.
The wine splashed, and the aroma of wine and meat spread throughout the general's tent. The high-end rabbit meat attracted him, and he almost forgot that he was having a banquet, which meant Hongmen. Glancing at Lao Jin, he cursed in his heart: "This old boy still has such skills. If I hadn't urged you so urgently today, this old boy would still be hiding him. After capturing the thieves and suppressing them today, I would have to let this old boy take care of himself." Give yourself a few meals."
His eyes glanced at Lao Jin under the tent, and the black-faced boy behind him caught Gordon's attention. Although he couldn't name the soldiers of the tenth battalion of the patrol, he could still recognize them roughly. In his impression, the soldiers of the tenth battalion of the patrol There is no such person among them.
But the most important thing at the moment was not the strange waiter behind Lao Jin. Gordon withdrew his eyes, picked up the wine cup in front of him, thought for a moment, and winked at Xu An, who was sitting under the tent.
Xu An understood, picked up the wine cup and smiled at the young man in snow clothes: "The distinguished guest has traveled thousands of miles to visit my general in my patrol. I will drink this thin glass of wine myself."
After saying this, he raised his elbows and raised his head, a glass of fine wine already in his stomach.
Some people died, but not completely...
