Living in the mountains and forests as hunters

Chapter 58

The person sitting with the scholar is the leader of the county yamen, and he is still the head of the county yamen shop. After all, he is half an official. No matter how rough his temper is, he is also somewhat clever. When he hears porridge, he immediately thinks of himself Negligence, they haven't eaten yet!Especially the one next to him, that is the new county magistrate, if he starves him, his life will not be very good in the future!He hurriedly took out a piece of broken silver from his bosom, threw it into Wang Daqi's hand, and said very dissatisfied:

"You bastard, what brains, where can adults eat these, here is four coins, you can take it to the An family boy, let him order some game, he is not bad, there must be some meat at home, let his wife Let’s do it, isn’t it brother-in-law! Do more!”

As soon as he said the brother-in-law, everyone laughed again, even the scribe, ah, even the county magistrate couldn't help laughing, but he didn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly got out of his arms. He took out a piece of silver, about one tael, and gave it to Wang Daqi together.

"A pot of porridge, you people, there is enough to eat, and let him make more other things, so that you are full, otherwise there will be strength to walk the mountain road tomorrow."

He was also showing his goodwill, he took out the money in a bright way, and said such considerate words, the head catcher was not easy to refuse, he made a sign of approval to Wang Daqi who was looking at him, and Wang Daqi immediately smiled said:

"That's good, it's brother-in-law anyway, let me tell you, make more steamed buns or something, by the way, that kid must have something to make flour for adults, haha."

It was another brother-in-law's remark, which caused everyone to laugh, then Wang Daqi immediately turned around and walked towards An Dalang's house.Some have enough to eat, so they will not be active there, right?

Of course, for Zhao Yiyi and An Dalang, earning some money is naturally positive. As soon as the money of one, two or four yuan arrived in their hands, Zhao Yiyi immediately got out of bed and started working. Identity, and the requirements for making steamed buns, I dug out the black noodles brought by the Wu family and the Lin family last time, made a total of thirty black-faced steamed buns, and made six steamed buns with white flour, plus a can of pheasant winter bamboo shoot soup, A large bowl of fried meat with fungus, a large bowl of scrambled eggs with fungus and bamboo shoots, a pot of blood sausage stewed cabbage, a large plate of mixed sour bamboo shoots, and finally a plate of yam, winter bamboo shoots and fungus. , and very carefully divided the dishes, making sure that the county magistrate and the head catcher would have a separate share, and the remaining ten catchers and the yamen servants would have another share, and let An Dalang take the big treasure and the second treasure with them. The basket was sent straight away.

At this time, steaming steamed buns, making porridge, and stewing vegetables are not uncommon, but this stir-frying is amazing. When these dishes arrive in the cave over there, not to mention eating them, even watching them amazes everyone.

The county magistrate looked at the five dishes and one soup on the plate in front of him, and felt that the saliva in his mouth was getting richer. He picked up a chopstick and sent it to his mouth. His eyes immediately lit up like light bulbs, and he swallowed the food in his mouth. Can't help but admire:
"It's really unexpected! In this barren mountain and wild land, there is such a delicacy. The cooking skills of the daughter-in-law of the An family are many times better than that of the cook in the official's house."

He was also from a wealthy family, and he was considered a side branch of the noble family. He didn't talk about rich clothes and fine food since he was a child, but he also ate good food, but now he found that he used to eat pig food.This feeling is really beyond words.On the other hand, Wang Daqi, who was sitting on the ground with those yamen servants, using those boxes as a dining table with dishes on them, interrupted after hearing this:
"Your Excellency, I don't know, this daughter-in-law of the An family heard from my daughter-in-law that she is the best cooker in Zhao's family, even wolf meat can be delicious!"

After all, he is the son-in-law of the Zhao family's nest, so the news is naturally more informed. Today, when he was looking for a resting place, he made a splash, and now he couldn't help showing off again. Head towards him with chopsticks, and then said:

"You boy, you are usually a rascal, but today you know a lot. Yes, brother-in-law, it's not unusual, but it seems to be your sister-in-law, who knows so much, be careful that your wife will make you suffer."

Whether it's headhunters or yamen servants, most of them are warriors, and their temperament is not stingy. If a literati can't say that they should be envious and jealous at this moment, but warriors can't think of so much, and they don't think it's just It's just a matter of joking if it hinders their interests, but it's inevitable to be a little out of tune when the joke is made. Everyone laughs again, and a yamen servant sitting outside even interjects:
"Boss, how do you know that he is afraid of his wife? Is it possible that everyone knows? Then I did not hide it for him in vain? I saw him let his wife pull his ears!"

As soon as he said this, the laughter became louder and louder. No matter how thick-skinned Wang Daqi was, he couldn't help it for a while, and said loudly:
"Who said I was afraid of her? I couldn't bear to bully her! Shen Sanwa, you boy, keep your mouth shut. Be careful how I deal with you next time."

This Wang Daqi quarreled with others for a few words, turned his head angrily and wanted to eat a few more mouthfuls to vent his anger, but in a blink of an eye, he found that the dish was much less, and immediately yelled again:

"Okay! You guys are taking advantage of our conversation, this food is like grabbing, save some for me."

After finishing speaking, he couldn't care about anything else, and hurriedly joined the ranks of grabbing food.The dishes on the extra large plates specially prepared for them went down quickly.Even those black-faced steamed buns are constantly decreasing. Thirty steamed buns, that is, three per person. For these martial arts practitioners, it's really not a problem, but it's just enough to be full.Fortunately, there is still a big bowl of hot broken rice porridge for one person, otherwise these people might have to make Zhao Yiyi continue to make it!What a rare delicacy!Not to mention the meat dishes are well made, even the vegetarian dishes can taste oily, absolutely solid.The money is worth it!

On the contrary, the county magistrate had a smaller appetite. It was just a steamed bun, and a bowl of chicken soup would already fill him up a bit. If it weren’t for the delicious dishes, he couldn’t help but eat half a steamed bun again, afraid that the food would be too much. Salty, I'm afraid there will be more left over. This is so beautiful. Although he is a headhunter, he is also a warrior. Naturally, he has a big appetite. Steamed buns with white noodles, meat dishes, chicken soup, etc. Of course he likes the delicious food, but he and the county magistrate eat together, it's not good to be too presumptuous, but the county magistrate can't finish it, so he is naturally impolite, four steamed buns are just right!The extra half can be used as a supper!
The county magistrate finished his meal, looked at the satisfied smiles of these subordinates, thought for a while, took out another tael of silver from his bosom, and said to Wang Daqi:
"Today's food is really good, Wang Daqi, if you go again later, it means that you have to trouble them to make breakfast, and it's not convenient for us people to add anything here. The firewood and rice grains used are also Please help them to add. Although we are officials, we can break the rules."

As soon as the words came out, everyone nodded along, feeling more and more satisfied with the new county magistrate, that's good, he is not someone who likes to spoil the common people, such an adult deserves their hard work!
"Okay, my lord, we're almost done eating. I'll boil hot water for you so that you can burn your feet and make it more comfortable. Would you like to lie down on the kang first?"

Wang Daqi just put down the bowl and chopsticks, and when he heard what the lord said, he hurriedly got up and went to pick up the money, and asked another thoughtful question.I didn't want to finish talking, so I let the head pat the head,
"Go, go do your business first, you need to teach me? There are plenty of people here. Third, you go to boil the water, my lord, let me help you there."

The county magistrate nodded, stood up with the support of the table, stretched his ankles, smiled, and said:

"It seems to be better, Catcher Cai, your skills are really good, but all of a sudden, my foot doesn't hurt so much."

When he sprained his foot on the road, Catcher Cai helped revitalize the blood. At this time, it has already had some effect. The county magistrate is really in a good mood. He tried his best to walk a few steps with his own strength, and suddenly thought of what Wang Daqi said just now.asked again:

"What did I hear about the kang just now? Could it be the bed?"

"Kang is a bed, but this bed is made of bricks, and firewood can be lit under it. You don't have to worry about the cold when you sleep at night. It doesn't matter even if the cover is less. This thing is only available in a few villages in our mountain, and there are other places. I have never seen it before. Who makes life hard for us people in the mountains? Living in this mountain is much colder than on the flat ground! The house is not thick enough. If you don’t think of ways to keep yourself warm, you will not be able to live in winter. I don’t know how many people died of freezing. This thing is really good. I heard that many old people and children have enjoyed the blessings this winter, and none of them died of freezing. It’s just a pity that this year, ah, no, it was last year Yes, it only came out last year. Those who froze to death before didn’t catch up with such a good thing! I may get the news later in the county, and I didn’t know such a good thing until the end of the year, so I hurriedly started it at home. I got one, but my mother kept calling Shu Tan!"

While talking, Catcher Cai had already helped the county magistrate to the innermost cave with a single kang, because this cave is the smallest, and the entrance can be used as a door, so there is no other wall. It is just for lighting and ventilation. The upper part of the door was made to be leaky and covered with white linen. If Zhao Yiyi said it would be the same as the door in the prison, but at this time, it was so ingenious, and it looked good.

It's just that it's night, and several people can't see clearly, they just opened the door and walked in. The county magistrate was surprised when he heard about the heated kang, and checked the heated kang as soon as he entered the door. While watching, he said:
"Yes, it's really good. It's really warm to sit on. If such a good thing is promoted, won't more people benefit from it? This thing must be played by the official. Good! It's really good!"

The county magistrate sitting on the kang had a happy expression on his face. He only felt that Wankou County was really a blessed place for him. Not to mention anything else, if he reported the matter of the heated kang and promoted it in the future, then I have a solid political record.

But the head catcher didn't understand this, he was satisfied when he saw that the county magistrate was satisfied, but he looked at the bedding again, and said in a low voice:
"My lord is still wronged. There is nothing good in the mountains and fields. The quilt is a bit rough."

"It's already good. I can rest in a warm place. What else is there to be dissatisfied with? The head of this Anjia household is really good. He is well prepared and thoughtful. He is a rare and real person! After you go back, you have to remind me that such kindness , the county should also reward."

"That's your mercy, my lord."

Honest people also know how to flatter, Cai Butou praised the words, and the county magistrate nodded in satisfaction, then turned his head and went out.

When he arrived at the gate, Catcher Cai's expression changed, he thought about the matter, turned his head, and dragged Wang Daqi, who had just returned, to a hidden place at the gate, carefully scrutinized it, and probably couldn't reach the innermost part. said:
"You will go there once in a while, and talk to An Dalang, which means that when you come to deliver breakfast, tell the adults about their killing of wolves, and then talk about the vengeance of this wolf."

"Boss, what is this?"

Wang Daqi's eyeballs rolled around, he didn't understand, but just looking at this posture, he immediately lowered his voice.

"Stupid, if the Orion is really summoned into the mountains, we probably won't be able to escape. Why don't you let the adults know the difficulties here and let him invite soldiers! It's convenient for others and your own convenience, why don't you get the hang of it! so stupid."

Catcher Cai, who hated iron for being weak, gave Wang Daqi a shudder, and whispered the reason.Hearing this, Wang Daqi suddenly realized, squinting his eyes and saying flatteringly:
"Boss, you are thoughtful."
