Yipin Tang

Chapter 38
No matter how much trouble a nine-year-old child can have, Li Zhi's mood immediately improved a lot after such a quarrel with Wang Xiang, but a story and a weird poem were not enough to satisfy him.

Wang Xiang squinted at Li Zhi, who was making progress, and saw that he raised his eyebrows and looked at him without giving in, and exclaimed, "You actually learned my natural skills!"

Li Zhi was puzzled and said, "What kind of natural skill?"

"I have two natural talents, one is that I can squint to see people behind me, and the other is that the right eyebrow can be raised and lowered, but I never use it easily."

Hearing this, Li Zhi proudly raised his eyebrows on both sides and showed off: "Is that so? I see you do this every time you feel complacent. I found it interesting so I learned it, but I can raise both eyebrows." Little ghost Finally found that he was better than Wang Xiang, and raised his eyebrows even more happily.

"Don't let Ernan see you like this."

"Why is this?"

Seeing Li Zhi's obscene appearance with trembling eyebrows, Wang Xiang was speechless for a while.

"Go back and find a bronze mirror and look at it yourself and you will know why."

Li Zhi trembled for a while before giving up, and asked: "Have you thought about what to do?"

Wang Xiang looked at the sky for a flash of inspiration, and said with a smile: "Forget it, the sun is shining today, which is suitable for going out for a picnic, so I'll take you out for an outing."

Outings are popular in the Tang Dynasty. Whenever the grass is soft and the water is rippling, you can call for friends and gather in groups, or find a water stream to gather for a feast, experience the joy of the flowing water, or go to the village Enjoy the scenery and relax in the wild mountains, enjoy the leisurely comfort, and the dull mood will naturally disappear at once.

Hearing the news that she was going out for an outing, little Lolita first showed great interest, put away her shuttlecock and went to find Wushun with great interest, and Xiaoya was not far behind, and took the initiative to prepare a food box, which contained all kinds of exquisite pastries and Snacks are all learned by Aunt Lin from the Chinese food encyclopedia. Ever since Aunt Lin got the cookbook, the Hou Mansion has never been short of pastries and snacks, such as wishful cakes, qiqiao dim sum, crispy fried spring rolls, agate eggs, and salt-baked chicken. Claws... These are the usual snacks of Xiao Loli and Xiaoya.How can we go out for an outing without outdoor barbecues? Wang Xiang asked Xiaoya to bring a set of barbecue pits and barbecue ingredients.

Cheng Chuliang's injuries have almost recovered, because of this accident, Li Shimin allowed him not to go on duty with the position of the left guard Zhonglang. Maybe he could still sit still, and took Princess Qinghe into the carriage.

The destination of their trip is Qianniu Mountain outside Chang'an City. There is a clear rain stream on the mountain. The stream is clear and sweet. There are beautiful flowers and grasses in the mountains. The scenery is pleasant. It has always been the first choice for the nobles of Chang'an City to go out for outings.

"Tie Dan, how long will it take to arrive?" Little Lolita couldn't wait any longer, and she lifted the curtain of the carriage from time to time and poked her head out to ask a question.

"Come on, it's time for another half stick of incense."

After the plow trial was successful that day, Lao Ding took the opportunity to tell Wang Xiang about Tie Dan. Originally, he only thought that Tie Dan could find a job in Yipin Winery, but Wang Xiang asked Tie Dan to work as a guard in the Hou Mansion. This made Lao Ding both surprised and happy, and he finally let go of his worries.

"Zixin, where did you find that guard of yours? It looks like he's not much worse than me."

Hearing Cheng Chuliang's words, Wang Xiang rolled his eyes at him, this guy's face is getting thicker and thicker.

Little Lolita never knew how to save face, so she said directly: "Iedan can lift the big cauldron in the mansion, can you?" Cheng Chuliang was speechless with one sentence.

Little Lolita is talking about the big cauldron used by the Hou Mansion for sacrifices. Whenever the Hou Mansion needs sacrifices, seven or eight strong men can carry it. That day when Tie Dan first arrived at the mansion, he was afraid that people in the mansion would think he ate it. How foolishly she said that she is very strong, and the little loli joked casually, as long as you can lift this big cauldron, you can eat as much as you want.As a result, Tie Dan really lifted up the big tripod without saying a word, and even giggled at everyone, the people in the mansion were shocked into heaven.

Cheng Chuliang still had this bit of self-knowledge, not to mention lifting the big cauldron, it might not be easy even to lift it.

Everyone chatted and laughed for a while and felt the carriage stop.

"Master, we have arrived at Qianniu Mountain."

"Are you there?" Little Lolita cheered excitedly and was the first to rush out of the carriage. When she saw that she had just reached the foot of the mountain, she was disappointed and said, "It's not here yet."

Wang Xiang helped Li Zhi and Wu Shun get off the carriage and said with a smile: "The mountain road is narrow, and the carriage cannot go up the mountain. Next, we have to walk up the mountain by ourselves."

"Ah? Do you want to go by yourself?" Little Lolita was wearing the new calico shoes Wushun made for her today, but it got dirty when she couldn't bear to go up the mountain.

Li Zhi felt that his opportunity to express himself had come, so he stepped forward and said, "Sister Xiaowu, I'll carry you up the mountain." He didn't understand the deep meaning of the story Wang Xiang told him, but he heard other things from the story. If you want to pursue girls, you need to be courageous and thick-skinned, and then think about what Wang Xiang did to Wu Shun in the Wu family.

Little Lolita glanced at Li Zhi, who was not as tall as her, blushed and said angrily, "Go, who wants you to carry it."

Li Zhi persisted and said: "Then let me help you, the road up the mountain is not easy."

Little Lolita looked back, Wang Xiang was supporting Wushun, Cheng Chuliang was supporting Princess Qinghe, Xiaoya was carrying the food box, Tie Dan was carrying the barbecue stove and other miscellaneous things, only she and Li Zhi had nothing to do, suddenly pouted The mouth is not happy.

Li Zhi was overjoyed to get the little loli's acquiescence, and hurriedly stepped forward to support the little loli, thinking: Wang Jiancheng's method is still better, um, I will practice his natural magic skills in the future.

Qianniu Mountain is not high, and the mountain is not too steep. Although the mountain road is narrow, it is not difficult to walk. Tie Dan carries the most things but walks the fastest. After finishing, the grass beside the stream is covered with white tablecloths, the barbecue grill is on the side, and the charcoal has been lit.

Xiao Ya took out the plates containing pastries and snacks from the food box one by one and placed them on the tablecloth.

With green mountains and green waters and delicious food, the little loli broke free from Li Zhi's hand holding her and cheered, "Brother-in-law, I want to eat grilled chicken wings!"

Li Zhi has understood the truth since he was a child that the gentleman stays away from the cook, but at this moment he suddenly realized that it is still necessary to bake good chicken wings, so when everyone was eating cakes and chatting and laughing, Li Zhi sat aside and carefully observed the king's wings. flying action.

Curious babies are a very scary thing once they get serious.

"Wang Jiancheng, why did you turn the chicken wings over and over again?"

"In this way, it can be baked evenly."

"Wang Jiancheng, why do you need to brush the oil every once in a while?"

"This way the chicken wings are not easy to burn."

"Wang Jiancheng, why do you pick your nostrils from time to time?"

Wang Xiang's hand trembled and his nostrils were almost bleeding, and he turned his head and gave Li Zhi a hard look.

Wang Xiang had a problem in his previous life. When he smelled smoke while grilling, his nose would get itchy, so he had to pick it from time to time. I didn't expect Li Zhi to observe so carefully. When Wang Xiang stared at this kid, he thought he had discovered something. Great BBQ recipe.

After a while, Li Zhi felt that he had learned enough and wanted to take over Wang Xiang's job.

"Really?"

"Well, yes." Li Zhi seemed very confident.

"Then you come to bake?"

"I'll come, I'll come." Li Zhi couldn't wait any longer.

Wang Xiang's nose was itchy and he wanted someone to take over, so he told Li Zhi about the precautions for grilling. Of course he didn't mention picking his nose, but Li Zhi understood.

Wang Xiang who escaped was not idle, and he and Cheng Chuliang jumped into the Qingyu River to fish. The water in the stream was so clear that one could see fish swimming in it at a glance.

"Is your wound alright with water?" Seeing Cheng Chuliang thumping in the stream, Wang Xiang couldn't help asking. It's true that his posture scared the fish away, and it's only strange that he can catch them.

Cheng Chuliang said nonchalantly: "The wound has healed long ago. Lying all day really suffocated me. If it wasn't for the fear that old man Sun would sue my old man, I would have slipped out."

"Miraculous Doctor Sun is also doing it for your own good. If your injuries were normal, you would have died. I really don't know what your body is made of. You can survive with such a big hole in your chest." Yi Wang Xiang and Cheng Chuliang There are not so many scruples about talking about the relationship.

"Haha, now you know how powerful I am. Let me tell you, don't look at how strong your iron eggs are. You may not be my opponent in a real fight. I have fought on the battlefield before."

Well, you shouldn't say the latter words, with Cheng Chuliang's virtue, he can really breathe if he is fat.

"Your Majesty allowed you not to be on duty, it's a blessing in disguise." Wang Xiang couldn't help but think of the scene where he confided bitterness with himself when he first met Cheng Chuliang.

"What's so good, Your Majesty is ready to use troops against Gaochang. I originally wanted to take revenge with a spear piercing my chest, but now it's good that Your Majesty won't let me go out with the army."

Wang Xiang was shocked when he heard the words: "Your Majesty is going to use troops against Gaochang?"

Cheng Chu nodded and said: "Your Majesty has long wanted to use troops against Gaochang, but it was delayed because of the wear and tear of the horseshoes. Now that you have horseshoes, your Majesty certainly doesn't want to wait any longer. He has ordered General Li Jing to speed up the training of Baiqi , Wait until the autumn harvest is over to raise troops to conquer Gaochang."

Wang Xiang was silent for a moment and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't go out with the army, things on the battlefield are unpredictable, what happened to you last time scared Princess Qinghe very much, I don't think she can stand that kind of scare anymore. "

Cheng Chuliang patted the water surface: "Don't talk about these things, catch fish and catch fish."

I don't know if he heard it or not, Wang Xiang said angrily: "How can you catch fish if you scare the fish away like this?"

Cheng Chuliang smiled awkwardly: "I'll go and see if I can bring back some hares and roe deer. It's up to you to catch fish."

No deer was caught, but a few hares were caught. Wang Xiang also caught some fat herrings, some of which were grilled, and some of which were cooked into a pot of delicious fish soup.

Although Li Zhi has just learned it for a short time, the taste of the grilled chicken wings is really not bad, but seeing him pick his nostrils from time to time when flipping the chicken wings problem?
