Ren Hong's original plan was to build a naan pit in Poyusui, but after thinking about it carefully, he dispelled this idea."
Smoke rises when the naan pit is burned, and if the smoke is too big, it will be bad if the other beacons mistake it for us to call the police."
Misburning beacon smoke is severely punished, which is also the reason why the report has to use the accumulated salary outside the dock courtyard, and the smoke they ignite is large and thick, easy to identify from a distance, and will not be confused with cooking smoke.At present, there is an iron pot on the stove, which Xia Dingmao mentioned earlier, and asked the iron officials of Xiaogu County to help cast it, and it was only sent by Lu Guangsu's brother Lu Duohuang yesterday.Xia Dingmao didn't ask too much about Ren Hong's meritorious service in the border inspection, but many of the seasonings sent together with the iron pot, garlic, peppercorns, etc., were carefully wrapped, and the small jar contained Lao Xia's own soybean sauce, each of which took a lot of thought and the concern of the elders.After the thrill, the best reward is to cook a good meal and treat yourself.The sheep that Ren Hong and the others bought back had already been peeled by Zhao Hu'er and Han Dangdang, and of course the technique was not as good as Luo Xiaopu's Hanging Quanzhi, and Han Dangdang even used too much force when cleaning up the sheep's intestines, and was nourished with a sheep's face."
It's not just the face, it's the mouth."
Zhao Hu'er ruthlessly told Han Dang's secret, but Old Han had a black face and insisted that he would never get into it.Zhang Qianren laughed while cutting meat on the table, but took advantage of the fact that everyone was not paying attention, and threw a sheep bone with some meat on it to his dog.Ren Hong's side, he was busy on the stove, and the large piece of fat pork he bought back in the morning was just used to refine oil, and the whole process was fragrant, and the oil residue left after frying was dry, sprinkled with a little salt, which was also a rare snack.He doesn't like the way to eat sugar and honey in the oil residue, it's too greasy.Then leave a little oil in the pot, put in the peppercorns, fry the fragrance, the lamb chops are cut into pieces by Song Wan with a knife, and stir-fry in the pot.Wait for the water in the meat to fry dry, add ginger, Lu Guangsu just carried the clay pot, added an appropriate amount of boiling water, and then put it into the large clay kettle, and simmered slowly over medium heat."
It's a pity that pepper is too expensive, and I don't want to buy it."
Ren Hong is a little regretful, stewed mutton does not put some pepper always feel that there is a defect, although Zhang Qian through the Western Regions, the pepper native to India has been introduced to the Central Plains, but now it is regarded as a precious medicinal material, can really be sold for a price of several dollars, and its main use is to soak wine!
Xu Fengde, who was in the hanging spring, soaked a pot of pepper wine, with five liters of good wine, one or two dried ginger, and seventy pieces of pepper, and a distinguished guest like Fu Jiezi passed by before taking it out, but Ren Hong had tasted it secretly, and he really didn't dare to compliment.But also understand, Chinese, snakes, insects, rats, ants, spices, fruits and even aliens, everything can be soaked in wine, it turns out that this tradition can be traced back to the Han Dynasty!
Thinking so, Ren Hong asked Lu Guangsu to watch the fire, and he went to toss the wheat noodles that had just woken up, rolled them into thin wide noodles, smeared them with some oil, and when the mutton was almost cooked, he opened the lid of the kettle, put the wide noodles cake and garlic into it, and poured it on the mutton soup to stew together.When the lid was lifted again, the aroma of the stewed mutton was overflowing, and the dough soaked in the soup looked oily and yellow, and everyone came around with their own bowls, waiting with their eyes.They are still so down-to-earth when they eat, even the pot and kettle are brought to the ground, and everyone squats or sits, and even like Ren Hong, they use the wooden table as a bench, and each takes what he needs.The mutton stew is very bad, the material is enough, the taste is rich and there is no smell, and the meat flavor has already penetrated into the wide bread, which is very flavorful, and the soup of the stewed mutton is eaten, the more you eat, the more flavorful it is!
Although there is a difference of two thousand years in time and space, the sheep is still the sheep of Dunhuang, and the noodles are also the noodles of Dunhuang.Fortunately, this dish also inherits the essence of the Great Northwest cuisine: large quantities and full tubes!
It's a pity that there is no apricot peel water Ren Hong is a very gluttonous person, at this moment, I miss the lively Shazhou night market in Dunhuang City in the future generations when he is full of wine and food, Han Dangdang put the dishes and chopsticks down, patted his bulging stomach and sighed: "This is the best meal that my old Han has eaten in forty years, and after eating this meal, it is worth dying!"
”Ren Hong kicked him: "Don't say bad things." ”"Now that we have money, there will be more good days like this in the future!"
In response to Ren Hong, there was only Han Dangdang's snoring, and he fell asleep leaning against the courtyard wall like this.Ren Hong scolded with a smile: "This guy, do you want to take advantage of this to hide from the afternoon inspection of Tiantian?"
”"Sui, let's go."
The five new flints were a little reluctant to go because they had such a good meal when they first came, and took the initiative to ask to inspect the fields and cut the grass.Song Wan also stood up and followed: "These five people just came, I'm afraid they will be lazy, I'll go and keep an eye on it."
Zhao Hu'er wiped his mouth, sprinkled urine and came back, and dutifully waited on the beacon, while Lu Guangsu and Zhang Qianren took care of the dishwashing, and his dog dutifully chewed the sheep bones that everyone had gnawed cleanly.Now, Ren Hong doesn't have to do anything, he is also a little lazy after eating, sitting on the mat and raising his head, now the sunset has just passed, the sun is still in the sky in the west, this is really a calm afternoon and the wind blowing outside, Han Dangdang's snoring is undulating, Ren Hong lazily collapsed on the straw mat in the yard, and almost fell asleep, I don't know how long it took, until Zhao Hu'er's loud warning woke him up from the laziness of Xiu Muri!"
Suichang, come up and see!"
Ren Hong came to his senses, looked up and saw Zhao Hu'er with a serious face, and immediately went to Fengsui."
What's wrong?
What happened" Before he could climb to the top of the beacon and climb to the moat, Ren Hong stopped his words and looked at the east fixedly.Seven or eight miles east along the Great Wall, there is the Guanghan Sui adjacent to the broken Sui.At this moment, a thick smoke is rising from Guanghan Sui!"
Guang Hansui ignited the accumulated salary!"
Ren Hong was completely sober, and took a few arrows to the beacon, and Zhao Hu'er lay on the watchtorch in the east and observed carefully: "They also raised the beacon!""
How many beacons have you raised?""
Yifeng!"
Ren Hong carefully identified the pillar of smoke rising in the distance, the first one had reached into the sky, and after a short time, the second pillar of smoke also slowly rose.Waiting until there is no new smoke column rising, Ren Hong confirmed: "Two accumulated salaries" and "I hope to see that there are more than 1,000 people who want to enter the plug!"
Raise a beacon every day, burn two salaries!
Ren Hong and Zhao Hu'er looked at each other, if Guang Hansui was not mistaken, I am afraid that this time it was a big event!
How many years has Dunhuang not encountered more than 1,000 Hu people entering the blockage?
Soon, they knew what Guang Hansui had seen, countless horses leaping up and down, Huns wearing pointed felt hats on horseback, each carrying a bow and arrow.They were crossing the shallow Shule River, and after assembling on the south bank, they turned their horses' heads and swept westward!
The smoke and dust raised by thousands of horses' hooves made people panic when they looked at it.Zhao Hu'er has good eyesight, and when she saw this, she couldn't help but gasp: "This is not only a thousand rides, there are almost two thousand!"
”Ren Hong's heart was beating wildly, he was wrong, he was ridiculously wrong, this afternoon had nothing to do with the calm waves.He could only hear his own hissing voice and shouting into the courtyard: "Old Han, Guangsu, ignite the accumulated salary!"
”"There are Huns who are plugged!"
