Otherworldly Days

Under the eaves, an eagle was standing on the beam, curled up and sleeping with its eyes closed, standing there motionless like a wooden sculpture.

Seeing Brother Ying who came to their house again, Cao Xiangnan smiled, and was not surprised by Ying who came to the house suddenly. He raised his head and greeted Ying, and said, "Brother Ying, you came at the right time, sure I know that I have killed a sheep here today, so I come here to beg for meat.

It just so happened that the family killed a little fat sheep today and prepared to barbecue tonight. There is a lot of meat prepared. You wait here, and I will bring you the meat. "It's not easy to find food outside this day, since he is here, he will treat him well. Speaking of Cao Xiangnan, he went to the kitchen and cut fresh mutton, and shouted, "Brother Eagle, come to eat meat, the little fat sheep that was just killed is coming fresh.You eat by yourself, I'm off to work. "

He was still busy in the kitchen, and he couldn't leave.

The lamb in the wooden barrel is still fresh red.

When the people left, Uncle Ying who was standing above opened his eyes, flapped his wings and flew down, eating the meat with his beak in a rude manner.

When Wang Dahu was passing by, he saw a familiar bird eating meat swaggeringly. He looked there, heyed, and walked a few steps to look at his family. Wang Xiaohu asked, "Wang Xiaohu, why did you come here to Xiangnan?" up?

He didn't know when Wang Xiaohu came back with him, and he didn't look for him when he came back, but ran to Xiangnan to beg for food. It looked like he came here once or twice.

The eagle who was eating meat raised his head, cast a disdainful look at his master with gray eyes, and then lowered his head to eat his meat again.

If I remember correctly, Wang Dahu remembered that Wang Xiaohu of his family would not eat meat given to him by others. When would he eat meat given by others? !

"Puchi..." Liu Baishu couldn't help laughing, glanced at his stupid man, and said, "Your son learned from you." No, my father loves to drink and eat meat at Cao Xiangnan's place, and so does his son. There is a way to imitate, this clever eagle may have followed Wang Dahu when he saw Wang Dahu eating meat here.

"Oh, you're really smart. As expected, he's my Wang Dahu's son, not bad." Knowing that Xiang Nan has food here, Wang Dahu felt proud again, his son was as smart as him.

The eagle that was eating meat ignored his father and continued to eat his meat.

After taking a second look, he found that Wang Xiaohu didn't pay attention to him, so Wang Dahu pulled Liu Baishu behind him into the room together, and praised how smart his son was with a happy face.Hearing Wang Dahu say that his son Cao Xiangnan was still a little dazed, he looked at Liu Baishu. If he remembered correctly, Liu Baishu couldn't be born with a man!

Liu Baishu, who was glanced at by Cao Xiangnan, immediately understood what Cao Xiangnan's look meant... "It's the eagle outside, Wang Xiaohu, the son of Wang Dahu. " Liu Baishu explained.

Oh, it turns out that Brother Eagle was raised by you, oh, and that eagle is called Wang Xiaohu. "Cao Xiangnan finally understood. This explains why Ditong's hawk came to him. He is not polite at all. This is completely learned from Wang Dahu! But it seems that the hawk is still more famous than Wang Dahu.

He looked at Wang Dahu's silly smile, and those who didn't know thought it was his wife who gave birth to a son for him!

... Liu Baishu left, he really didn't want to know how stupid his family was, it would make him wonder if he followed the wrong person back then. Even if it’s cold, you can’t set up a table to eat outside. The dining room in the big kitchen is huge, and the next big long table is more than enough for dozens of people.

At noon they began to prepare food.

Big bone soup was boiling in the pot, and the boiled soup turned milky white, bubbling and bubbling.After a while, they are going to use this as a soup base to make a hot pot and eat meat. The weather is cold, and it is most suitable to eat meat while drinking wine.

The remaining meat is sliced ​​into slices, cut into pieces, saved for a while to wash the pot, and the marinated meat pieces are skewered and roasted for a while.

I have been busy all year round, and friends who are acquainted with me at this moment also call to come over for a gathering, so there are really many people who come to eat at home today.

There are many people who come to eat at home, and there are also many people who work. In the kitchen, Cao Dapeng came over early to help with the work. Speaking of which, he still learned his cooking skills from Xiang Nan.You must know that craftsmanship is the ability of others to eat, who would be willing to teach others, so now that he has learned a good skill, Cao Dapeng never thought about going out to open a shop by himself.

One needs to be gracious and content, and now their family is doing very well. Cao Ji is the one who cooks there, and Cao Dapeng has no other thoughts. The brothers in the family are also whispering orders in his ears.

The soup in the pot is simmering on low heat. "Cao Xiangnan tried the taste, added a little more salt, and tried the taste again. He didn't add any more salt when he thought it was okay.

You can put radishes in here, put all the radishes down. "

A pig was killed today, and there were a lot of pigs in the water, so they made pig offal.The pork offal stewed with spices makes my mouth water when I put radish in it to absorb the smell. Then the radish is delicious and the pork offal doesn't taste so greasy.

It would be even better if there is beef, but the cattle here cannot be killed at will, and a cow has to be registered with the previous household in a serious manner. Whose cattle will only be willing to kill if they die of old age and illness Come for the meat.After coming here for so long, Cao Xiangnan has also eaten beef three or two times, and he still went to Nanyang to eat it.

"Okay, I'll put it down now." Cao Dapeng replied that there were big meat buns steaming in the cage, and the smell of cooked meat came out as soon as it was cooked.There were a lot of people coming to eat today, fearing that those men would not be full, they made big meat buns again, all of them were white and fat, really cute.

The steward from outside came in and said that someone at home had come, and Cao Xiangnan went out.

While the people who were busy in the kitchen turned around, one hand reached in, lifted the lid of the cage, and took away a meat bun, and then another person came, reached in with one hand, and took away another bun. Only meat buns.

Cao Dapeng, who was busy in the kitchen, had no idea that someone had stolen buns and ate them right under his nose.

Hey, you guys are really too, it's so cold... Cao Xiangnan went to see the game brought by the men who came to eat at the workshop. It's really not easy to hunt game this day.He asked someone to take it down and deal with it. After a while, he saw how these things were made, and everyone ate them together.

These men all had shy smiles on their faces. Today, the boss invited them to dinner. The usually sloppy men cleaned up one by one and put on their best clothes.In fact, it was the overcoats that the boss gave them for the winter, all of them were the same overcoats, these were their best clothes.

Come on, go inside and drink a glass of water.

Knowing that everyone was getting cold all the way, Cao Xiangnan asked everyone to go inside, sit down and drink a glass of water to warm up their bodies, and they will be ready for dinner after a while.

They had dinner before it got dark.

The adults and children at home ate in the dining room at the back of the house, and the men ate in the big dining room in the kitchen. Dozens of people sat on the long table, and there were stoves and pots on the table. There is a jar of wine, but today I drink white wine.

On weekdays, everyone working in the wine shop is forbidden to drink alcohol, but today Cao Xiangnan let them drink freely.There are not many times when you can drink. These guys have been greedy for this wine for a long time. They smell the smell every day when they are brewing, and no one dares to steal a sip of brother to have a drink. "Cao Xiangnan was no stranger to the black-clothed men who suddenly appeared at home. He knew that these men were the secret guards who followed Fang Ziye, some of whom he had never seen before.

There are kebabs being grilled under the shed at the door, and Cao Dapeng is in charge of the kebabs. The smell of grilling meat inside the house is too strong, so it is better to grill it outside.Little did they know that it was this scent that lured the hidden guards out from the dark place. The big meat buns they ate just now were not worth anything at all, so they ran out hungry.

When Cao Xiangnan saw that no one was going in, he handed over a plate of meat skewers, and generously let them eat.

The man who took it also thanked him, took it and left.

A plate of meat skewers was brought over, and many hands stretched out, and the plate was empty.

"..." The man holding the plate looked at the empty plate.

Cao Dapeng had no idea who these people were. When he saw them, he yelled, "Come together, it's better to cook by yourself." Then they sat down with him and grilled meat unceremoniously.

The next time Cao Xiangnan came out and saw several men in black sitting around the stove grilling, he would say hello and go over to teach them how to grill deliciously.

The chili powder in his house is made from millet pepper. It is very spicy when you brush it. However, the hotter you eat this day, the more delicious it is. After you have tasted the taste of chili, you can’t stop. Come in if you want to eat. "Cao Xiangnan smiled and said what is hot pot? Several men looked at each other and didn't know what hot pot is, but they smelled the fragrance outside here, and finally couldn't resist the temptation. One went in, two went in, and three went in too.

As soon as the hidden guards mixed in the crowd sat down, they all ate without hesitation.

Cao Gang glanced over, all he saw were the hidden guards who had sneaked in.The head of the dark guard raised his head, bared his teeth at Cao Jianjun, and showed his white teeth with a smile.The two glanced at each other, then looked away to eat the meat and drink the wine in their bowls.

This meal today is really good, it is the voice of these men.

It was dark and the wind outside was strong and cold. After eating, the men at the workshop went back when it was getting dark.After seeing off the guests from the house, as for the rest of the hidden guard Cao Xiangnan who walked silently, he ignored them. There was still a lot of meat left in the kitchen, so they could make it themselves if they wanted to eat.

At this time, the children in the family have all fallen asleep, went back to take a bath and went to bed, but the brother on the bed was still asleep.Cao Xiangnan put his arms around his wife and heard Fang Ziye talk about keeping Bao'er with him. He hummed and said, "That's good. It's good for Bao'er to stay with us. Bao'er stay with us.

They all love Bao'er, and all they think about is how to make Bao'er live the best and happiest life.

Cao Xiangnan knew that it would not be so simple in Fengdu, so what if King Yi became the emperor, I am afraid that if King Yi became the emperor, the distance between him and Fang Ziye would become more and more distant.As for the affairs between the two of them, it's not something ordinary people like them can manage.

He only hoped that no matter what happened between Fang Ziye and the emperor, the child would not be involved, the child was innocent.

Um. "With Fulang's words, Qi Wanfeng felt relieved. After so many days, his heart was finally relieved, and Qi Wanfeng was able to close his eyes and sleep soundly. Looking at the person who fell asleep after a while Son, Cao Xiangnan bowed his head and kissed his relatives, and slept with them with his eyes closed.
