Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 490 Fat Meat and Flour (4200)

Seeing the inexplicable reversal of things unknowingly, Wu Liang and the old man reached a kind of understanding consensus when talking.

It was only after a moment of reaction from the people in the Huan army that they fully understood what happened just now.

But there are also people who don't understand.

"Young master, why don't you stand up for Miss Bai, and you seem very relieved instead?"

Yu Ji is someone who didn't understand it. After all, at his age, his thinking is not so vivid, and sometimes he is a little stubborn and conservative. Not everything is so easy to understand, so he couldn't help but whispered.

"Old man, have you just heard clearly what the sixth article of the Bai family's ancestors' training is?"

Zhuge Liang asked with a grin.

"Women are not allowed to be sterile if they don't marry, and those who violate it will be drowned?"

Yu Ji said still puzzled.

"The old man thinks, if Sister Jingjing doesn't marry and is not allowed to have children, then how will the talented brother deal with himself? Is it possible that he will be so foolish all his life and not give Sister Jingjing a title?"

Zhuge Liang asked again with a smile.

"That can't be done, Miss Bai is a good girl, whoever wants to pay her will be the first one not to agree..."

Speaking of this, Yu Ji's wrinkled old face suddenly stretched out, showing a look of sudden realization, and said happily, "So, as long as Miss Bai is no longer a member of the Bai family, she no longer needs to be bound by the ancestral precepts! "

"This grandpa also taught sister Jingjing to be a bead follower. Although in this way, sister Jingjing was expelled from the Bai family in name, but in essence, the Bai family still recognizes sister Jingjing. Naturally, sister Jingjing will not be sad. In fact, it is both ways. It’s the best way to get the best of both worlds... I’ve learned again that this grandpa is also a man of great wisdom, it’s true that three of us must have my teacher.”

Zhuge Liang sighed sincerely.

"So that's the case. The old man also said that the young master changed his temper today. Instead of mentioning Miss Bai's support, he even turned his elbow outward. It turns out that he and this old man have already had such a tacit understanding."

Yu Ji also smiled gratifiedly, "This is also a rare happy event for our Huan army, not bad."

Look back at Bai Jingjing again.

"Grandpa..."

Bai Jingjing knelt on the ground, trembling uncontrollably, with tears in her beautiful eyes, looking at the old man who had smiled at her again, she couldn't say anything more.

"Don't tell your father about this beforehand. He is a stubborn donkey who doesn't know what to do. I'm afraid he won't be able to accept it for a while."

The old man stretched out his hand to gently stroke Bai Jingjing's hair, and said in a loving tone, "But you don't have to worry, if General Wu can help us drive out the powerful enemy, you will be the biggest hero of the Bai family and the only one in the tomb of the former king." My savior, if I 'punish' your whole clan like this, I'm afraid it will only feel a little unreasonable, and your father will naturally not be able to say anything; and if this is not done in the end, the tomb of the former king is gone, and the Bai family will definitely not If you survive in the world, then the ancestral precepts will naturally no longer exist, you are no longer the Bai family, and you will be able to live with peace of mind in the future, and you don't have to live like the Bai family anymore."

"Grandpa, if this fails, Jingjingyuan will go to Huangquan with the Bai family!"

Bai Jingjing immediately expressed her position stubbornly.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

The old man raised his face again, stared and reprimanded, "I will remove your name from your family tree later, because you are no longer a member of the Bai family, or you must go to the underworld with the Bai family. When you get down, not only us If you don’t recognize you, your ancestors will definitely not recognize you either!”

"But……"

Bai Jingjing wanted to say something else.

At this time, Wu Liang finally interrupted them at the right time, and said with a smile: "It's fine, it's fine, let's stop here if you are frustrated. I came all the way to help, not to give you funerals. I How can you break your promise to Jingjing when you say that this matter must be done, you should put your heart in your stomach first."

"Regarding this matter...does General Wu have any specific plans?"

Hearing the words, the old man turned around, saluted Wu Liang again, and asked very sincerely.

"I have many plans, but the most important thing is to adapt to local conditions, so as to produce miraculous results."

Wu Liang smiled and said, "And if my plan is to be implemented smoothly, the assistance of the Bai family is also indispensable. Therefore, I still need to confirm some things with the grandpa before that."

"It's natural, General Wu, please tell me."

The old man said quickly.

"Excuse me, grandpa, this place is not far from Yuancheng. I don't know if the Bai family and the generals of the Yuancheng garrison can talk to each other?"

Wu Liang asked seriously.

"This……"

The old man was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Qiru has been to Yuancheng for his medical trips. He once cured the cold of the mother of Captain Di Gudi, the leader of the Yuancheng garrison, so he should be able to talk to that Captain Di It's worth a few words, but it's just something that can be said, and it's far from being a friendship. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to ask the Yuancheng defenders to come forward to resolve this matter. Although we can ask the Yuancheng defenders The army sent a report to exterminate this group of thieves, but this is a plan to drive away tigers and wolves. If this group of thieves are captured, it will also expose the tomb of the former king. I am afraid that the wolf will disappear, but it will attract more fierce The tiger is really not what the Bai family wants."

"You can talk as long as you can."

But Wu Liang smiled noncommittally, and then asked, "The gang of thieves have been here for a few days now, and the Bai family must have sent people to watch their every move day and night, and they must have figured out their secret whistle and action patterns. ?”

"This is natural. We are more familiar with the terrain and terrain. With the cover of night, we can even touch a place less than 20 feet away from the camp of the thieves for surveillance. After several days of continuous investigation, we have not been caught by them." I noticed, as for their secret whistles... Ever since Jingjing accidentally caught General Wu's advice last time, we have attached great importance to this matter, so all their secret whistles are already under our control, without any omission."

The old man nodded and said.

After speaking, Bai Jingjing's pretty face flushed slightly again, unconsciously recalling the scene when she first met Wu Liang, the first sentence "I'm not a good person", and the obscene story about "picking mushrooms".

Now Bai Jingjing has grown a lot, she not only knows how to "pick mushrooms", but also is very good at "mushroom picking".

"very good."

Wu Liang nodded, "Find a suitable time tonight, ask someone to take me up the mountain to have a look, and then it will not be too late to confirm the next step, but before that, I need my grandfather to prepare some things in advance A rainy day."

"Qi Ru should be back in a while, and then she can properly arrange the matter. If there is any need for General Wu, it's okay, and the Bai family will definitely satisfy it."

The old man cupped his hands again and said.

"Please ask the grandpa to buy dozens of catties of meat. As long as the fat meat is not lean, put it into a large pot and cook it continuously until the fat meat is cooked and melted into the soup."

Wu Liang pondered for a moment, then said, "In addition, please ask Taigong to spend a lot of money to buy more than a dozen catties of fine wheat flour. These wheat flours will be kept temporarily until the broth is cooked."

Wheat is actually an alien species that came to China from Central and Western Asia, but it came very early, appearing in China about six to seven thousand years ago.

However, due to planting technology, the yield of wheat has been very low, and it is only accepted by the Qiang people in the western part of the Celestial Dynasty.

Therefore, before the Warring States period, there has always been a saying that "the Qiang people have wheat but no grain".

At the end of the Warring States Period, people in some areas discovered the method of planting winter wheat, so that the idle farmland in winter could be utilized, so these suitable areas began to promote the planting of winter wheat.

Later, the appearance of "stone mill" also broadened the way of eating wheat, and wheat gradually became more and more in the Central Plains.

According to literature records, the development of pasta making method originated from the court of the Han Dynasty, and even a special "soup official" was set up in the court of the Han Dynasty, which is often called the pastry master in later generations, and the method of interviewing was also established at that time. They are divided into three categories: soup cakes, steamed cakes, and hu cakes.

Soup cakes, as the name suggests, are boiled pasta, and noodles and noodles are considered "soup cakes".

Steamed cakes are steamed noodles. The cooking cakes sold by Wu Dalang are called steamed buns in later generations. The pasta called steamed buns in ancient times are all "steamed cakes".

The so-called Hubing refers to baked biscuits, and biscuits can also be included in this category.

Therefore, there is already flour at this time.

It's just limited by the output problem, coupled with the years of wars that have greatly damaged social productivity, the price is naturally very touching, and only the gentry who are doing well can afford it.

However, the salary that Wu Liang received from Boss Cao, and the dry rations that the Tuan army brought with them when they went out for expeditions were all coarse grains, and there was hardly any wheat, let alone flour.

of course.

If he had to eat flour, Wu Liang could afford it with his current status.

However, as a time traveler, Wu Liang's later generations advocated the consumption of coarse grains. Of course, he would not be hypocritical in this matter. The current coarse grains are all good things, proper, pure, natural and pollution-free. I can't even eat it.

"It's easy to say, Xiaomin will teach people to go to Yuancheng to buy these supplies, and he will never delay General Wu's affairs."

After hearing Wu Liang's request, the old man complied without blinking.

It can be seen that the Bai family has inherited a lot of supplies over the years, and it is not as simple as it seems on the surface. After all, these days, no matter whether it is meat or flour, ordinary families cannot afford it. The small family in the village can ensure that everyone in the family is well-fed, and they are already very well-off.

"Um……"

Wu Liang nodded slightly.

between speeches.

A slightly tired male voice suddenly came from outside the living room: "Uncle, I'm back. I heard from the tribe that Jingjing came back suddenly, but is it true?"

Accompanied by this sound, the door of the living room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man covered in dust walked in with strides.

This person is none other than Bai Jingjing's father, Bai Qiru.

Qiru is just his name, his surname is actually Bai and his name is Sheng, which is also a very Confucian name.

It's just that his current image doesn't match the word "ruya" at all. If he hadn't seen him before, Wu Liang would have said where he was a refugee.

But Wu Liang is not qualified to laugh at Bai Sheng.

He himself and the Huan army were also disguised as refugees, and no one could do anything to see him now, and there was no way to confuse him with General Zhonglang.

"Qiru, it's just in time for you to come back."

The old man greeted him with a smile, "Not only did Jingjing come back, General Wu also came to help the Bai family with Jingjing when he learned that there might be a mistake in the tomb of the former king. This is really helping the Bai family."

"General Wu?"

Bai Qiru looked at Wu Liang who was standing in the hall quite unexpectedly. He should have known that Wu Liang was coming, and his clansmen should have known about it, but he didn't expect that Wu Liang had transformed into General Wu, so he was so stunned for a moment. , he arched his hands and said defensively, "General Wu came to help me all the way, and Bai is very grateful, but last time Bai made a decision that violated the precepts of his ancestors and taught General Wu to enter The tomb of the former king, this time General Wu comes again, Bai has nothing to thank General Wu."

This is to worry that after Wu Liang helped, he will use another excuse to enter the tomb of King Guangchuan again, so let's make it clear in advance...

After all, in his opinion, the Bai family and Wu Liang are neither related nor related.

There is a saying that it is not profitable to get up early.

If there is no purpose, Wu Liang has absolutely no reason to come to this muddy water.

It's just that he's still on the first floor.

Wu Liang and his uncle were already on the fifth floor, and they had even settled the matter, so there was no need for him to worry about it.

"Mr. Bai, don't worry too much. I don't have any other purpose in coming to help this time. It's just because Jingjing has done a lot of needlework for me after becoming a bead follower. Her ventriloquist has also provided me with great help. We I am very grateful in my heart, so it is my duty to do something for her and the Bai family."

Wu Liang smiled coquettishly, but said in a serious manner.

?

Everyone in the Huan army was taken aback.

Miss Bai's ventriloquism is really good. Not only can she train flying slaves, but she can also occasionally lure some birds down to satisfy their hunger. Moreover, her hearing ability that is different from ordinary people is also unmatched, and it really helps a lot when entering the tomb.

But the needlework...

Everyone was a little puzzled. Aren't those beauties doing the needlework at home? They have never seen Bai Jingjing mending anything.

"Can Jingjing know how to do needlework?"

Bai Qiru also looked at Bai Jingjing strangely. His daughter has been wild since she was a child, and she is more flexible than a kid in climbing trees and mountains. Only female celebrities refuse to learn.

"..."

Only Bai Jingjing understood Wu Liang's meaning, her pretty face instantly turned red to her ears, and she wanted to pinch Wu Liang to teach him not to talk nonsense, but she didn't dare to make trouble in front of her father.

"Don't worry about the details."

Wu Liang skipped over this topic calmly, and continued, "Mr. Bai, I have already told my grandfather about my needs just now, so I won't go into details now. I will trouble Mr. Bai when it gets dark later." Take me up the mountain to investigate and work out a strategy to defeat the enemy as soon as possible."

"It seems that General Wu came prepared, this is really a divine weapon!"

Bai Qiru was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said again and again, "With General Wu helping my Bai family, Bai will definitely cooperate with all his strength."

"Aha - I'm really tired after traveling all day and night in the past few days. I have to trouble Mr. Bai to arrange a place to sleep and prepare some food for my brothers."

Wu Liang stretched his waist, but he didn't treat himself as an outsider at all.

This is to allow some time for Bai Qiru and Bai Jingjing to reminisce about the past.

Also.

Even with his feet, Wu Liang could figure out that Bai Qiru would soon have to ask the question that Grandpa Bai had asked before: "I wonder how many troops General Wu has brought?"

Wu Liang was too lazy to explain again, and he didn't want to see Bai Qiru's expression change from excitement to disappointment in an instant.

He just taught Bai Taigong to prepare those things, so he already has a plan.

The only thing that needs to be worried now is the magic weapon that Hao Meng brought, but it should not be a big problem, because Wu Liang's strategy has nothing to do with spells, and naturally it can't be done without a magic weapon. broken.
