Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 25
The lively, plump and cute bamboo rat soon turned into a large piece of meat with a belt and bone, filling half a wooden basin.

After marinating with onion, ginger and salt for half an hour, Luo Feng discovered a problem when he was about to stir-fry.

The kitchen of my brother-in-law’s house is actually similar to his own. There is a firepit in the house, and a simple stove that can hardly be called a stove is set up on it. On it is a pottery pot with a big belly pot. It’s more like an earthen pot than a pot. .

It is impossible to stir-fry in such a pot-bellied clay pot.

Luo Feng, who is a foodie, suddenly felt a sense of frustration. He was defeated by a clay pot.

There is no iron pot, not even a saucer-shaped clay pot, so how can I stir-fry bamboo rats.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

"Brother, why don't you do it!"

The little girl stared at the large piece of bamboo rat meat, and couldn't help but urge her.Usually it is rare to eat a piece of meat, but now seeing such a big pot of meat, the stomach is gurgling non-stop.

"Do you have any other pots at home? Do you have the shallow ones?" Luo Feng asked.

In the end, Scarface, who was the master of one, told Luo Feng if he hadn't, "This is the only pot at home, there is no second one."

Well, the stir-fried bamboo rat can't be eaten.

In desperation, Luo Feng had no choice but to change to stewed bamboo rat.

When boiling the water, adding the meat, and stewing the bamboo rat meat, Luo Feng couldn't help but feel a little downcast. He was depressed because he lost a meal of stir-fried bamboo rat meat.

"Xiao Wu, you will go to the county government to be a police officer in a few days, can you take me there, I will be your helper."

The brother-in-law rubbed his hands, seemed to think about it for a long time, and finally asked.

"Brother-in-law wants to be a helper? Why?"

Scarface's thinking is very simple and straightforward, but he just feels that life is difficult today.Their Zhaozhuang is also a place with a lot of people and little land. Back then when his father was killed by a leopard, the land that was divided into equal fields was taken back, leaving only ten acres of Yongye farmland to pass on to him.

At that time, his three elder brothers were all separated, and he was still young, so he guarded the ten acres of Susukida and lived with his old mother. The land was too little to live on, so he picked up a hunting bow and went up to the mountains to hunt to make ends meet.

Year after year, because of poverty, and because of the scar on his face, he didn't marry a wife until he was 26 this year.

Now that I am married to a daughter-in-law, life at home is still difficult. There is too little land, and I can’t survive farming, but hunting is also difficult. I used to go up the mountain to hunt for some prey and exchange fur for some money, but now the higher authorities have to collect fur every now and then.

"Don't worry, your brother-in-law, I am strong and strong, and I am good at hunting bows, and I can shoot arrows accurately. If I help you, I can help you."

"Being a helper can get a share of income to support the family, and if you do a helper, you have connections in the yamen, and you can avoid labor, and you don't have to travel far to do labor."

Scarface didn't want to leave home to do military service, because there was an old woman at home, and now he has a new wife.

Luo Feng didn't expect his brother-in-law to have such a request, and his help was somewhat similar to that of a police assistant in later generations.

Those who don’t have a formal salary, their income depends on some gray income, and their status is even less likely to be high, but my brother-in-law also expressed some ideas of wanting to be a helper. Well, if he is a helper, he will definitely have a better chance of making money. Another thing, if he is a helper, if he has a relationship with the yamen, he can escape the husband's labor and don't have to go out to work.

There are three classes in the county government office, each class has ten full-time yamen servants, Luo Feng belongs to the fast class, there is one head arrester at the top, and nine fast arresters at the bottom, ten people in total.

But to maintain law and order in such a large county and to catch thieves, ten people are definitely not enough.

Therefore, each catcher will have two to four deputy catchers, and each deputy catcher will have different numbers of assistants, and even the assistants will have a certain number of arresters. , Helping, equivalent to full-time, and those arresting servants are a kind of servants recruited by the county government to take turns to act as servants.

Speaking of which, a catcher is actually equivalent to a team, each with its own horses, and there are quite a few of them.

The catcher is equivalent to the leader of the team.

If Luo Feng became a police officer, he would definitely have his own team of helpers, and of course he would have the right to decide the number of people in his team.

At least it's okay to ask my brother-in-law to be a helper.

"Brother-in-law, it's actually not that easy to be a policeman and a helper. To arrest thieves and maintain law and order, the tasks are not light, and you may often encounter some dangers."

"I'm not afraid of that. My brother-in-law told you that I almost died at the mouth of that leopard back then. I lost half of my face. Later, I practiced my skills hard. My bow shooting is not bad, and I am also very strong. It's really difficult. Not only will I not drag you down, but I can also help you."

Seeing that his brother-in-law was so resolute, Luo Feng no longer hesitated.

"Okay, since my brother-in-law is willing to come and help me, of course I can't wait for it. I will go to battle with father and son soldiers, brothers who fight tigers, and my own family members will also help me more."

"Brother-in-law thanked you, Xiao Wu."

He didn't have an iron pot, so he was going to use a clay pot. In the end, Luo Feng made a few tough dishes, stewed bamboo rat, stewed rabbit, stewed bamboo chicken, and added a boiled cabbage, making four dishes together.

The rice was cooked with the corn that Luo Feng carried from home.

"Delicious, so delicious."

Although the stewed bamboo rat did not have the aroma of stir-frying, the little girl still thought it was the most delicious food it had ever eaten, and she praised it after eating it.

Although the older sister Lianniang and Zhao's mother were not as exaggerated as the younger sister, they kept talking and stretching their chopsticks.

"Just now Xiao Wu said that he is good at cooking. I still didn't believe it. I didn't expect this skill to be really good. It's delicious and delicious!"

Scarface's brother-in-law picked up a piece of meat and chewed it twice before he couldn't stop.

"Unexpectedly, this bamboo rat tastes better than beef and mutton." The brother-in-law praised.

"Have you ever eaten beef? Don't talk nonsense."

Lianniang was very dissatisfied with her husband's bragging. Who would have the opportunity to eat mutton in general, and it was even more impossible to eat beef. Farm cattle are not allowed to be slaughtered privately. .

The Zhao family didn't even have their own farming cattle, let alone had beef.

"Xiao Wu, later on, you can take the remaining two bamboo rats and the rabbit home together, and make such a delicacy for your mother." Lian Niang laughed.

Zhao's mother also nodded, "Take them all, our Ba'er often goes hunting in the mountains, and these things can often be found. Take some and give them to my mother-in-law to taste!"

Everyone was very satisfied with the meal, and the little girl even ate so much that her belly was full.

"It's getting late, we have to hurry back, there are still more than ten miles on the way."

After sitting for a while, Luo Feng left.

When leaving, Luo Feng brought the bag next to the black horse, "Sister, brother-in-law, this is ten pennies of white money. This is the dowry that our Luo family gave to my sister. I was going to ask you what you need first." Then I will buy things for you, now that I think about it, I should give you the money directly, and you can buy whatever you want.”

Luo Lian'er and Zhao Scarmian didn't know that it was a bag of money, let alone ten strings, and it was a dowry for Luo Lian'er from the family.

"How can this be done?"

"Sister, this is your dowry. Tomorrow I will make up the same dowry for my fourth sister. Just accept it."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to Scarface, "Brother-in-law, I was not at home when my sister got married, so today I will say something that should have been said that day."

"My elder sister has been kind to me since I was a child, and my younger brother would never want my elder sister to be wronged outside. If you have a bad day, you can call me here, and I will pick my elder sister home when the time comes, but, No matter at any time, I don't allow you to hit my sister, if you dare to hit my sister, I will definitely come and fight with you."

Scarface said in embarrassment, "It's too late for me to love your sister, how can I be willing to beat you?"

"I mean, just in case, just in case, you call me, and I will pick her up, and I will take good care of her for the rest of my life."

"Don't worry, Xiao Wu, I will definitely treat your sister well. You can take back the money, we can't take it."

Luo Lian'er's eyes were moistened by what her younger brother said.

She suddenly pushed her husband away and said to her younger brother with a smile, "Thank you Xiao Wu, my sister is very happy now, my sister has a good brother, and he has really grown up. My sister accepted the ten pennies. The dowry you gave to my sister, my sister will keep it well, and I will give it to them when I have children."

"Let's go, brother-in-law, remember what you said today, don't let my sister be wronged!"

"Let's go, sister, take good care of yourself. Husband and wife raise their eyebrows together, sing in harmony, and grow old together!"

Picking up the little girl and getting on the horse, Luo Feng led the black horse back, and said in his heart while walking, "Luo Xiaowu, I am Luo Feng and you, Luo Xiaowu, don't worry, I will take good care of your family , They used to be your family, and from now on, they will also be my Luo Feng's family!"

Zhao's door.

Luo Lian'er looked at the backs of her younger brother and sister, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

Scarface Zhao gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his wife's eyes, "You have a good brother."

"Of course, I have loved Xiao Wu the most since I was a child. After all, I have not loved him for nothing for so many years, and now I know how much I love my sister."

Zhao Scarmian suddenly felt jealous and envious.

"It's nice to have a younger brother, but it's a pity that I only have an older brother and no younger brother."

"Don't mention your elder brothers. You four brothers have separated since they got married. There is still half a brotherhood between each of them. They don't even have any contact with each other on weekdays. The old lady is sick in bed, and they are eager to leave They are far away, as if they are afraid that if they stick to them, they will be entangled, such brothers, it’s worth not to mention them.” Luo Lianer couldn’t help but feel a little angry when talking about those brothers and sisters, she used to endure it, but today she finally couldn’t. live complaining to her husband.

"Hey, yes, other people's brothers and sisters are enviable, but my own brothers and sisters are very ruthless. Forget it, let's not talk about them. From now on, your brothers and sisters will also be my brothers and sisters of Zhao Si."

People's hearts are fleshy, and no one wants to stick a hot face to someone else's cold ass.
