Chapter 54 Four joys come to the door

Early the next morning, Ma Shou was worried that Mr. Xiong Yuanba would lose his health if he didn't eat. So he cooked himself and made four bowls of soap buns in a row.

In addition to traditional beef and mutton soaking steamed buns, he also specially made tofu soaking steamed buns and stewed buns. He broke the noodles one by one by himself and made them evenly and finely divided. Scoop the hot soup with the braised soup, and the white mist suddenly simmered and the aroma was filled with fragrance.

In order to suppress the fishy smell of mutton, Ma Shou also tried his best to make some "shoushengcai" and chop them up and decorated them on it. (Note 1)

The white steamed buns, plus this little green, can be said to be full of color, fragrance and taste. After these four bowls of steamed buns were prepared, they were properly meat and vegetables. Even when Ma Shou smelled it himself, his index finger was shaking.

Xiong Yuanba didn't eat for a day, and his physical strength trough had dropped to the bottom.

In this game, there are two types of blood tank and physical strength tank. Once the hunger value reaches a certain limit, physical strength will slowly lose. After the physical strength is completely lost, blood will begin to fall off.

So I was quite excited to see these four bowls of soap buns.

I heard Ma Shou say, "Master Xing, have you seen the leaves above? This is called 'Yanxu Cai', which can suppress the fishy smell of mutton. It is not easy to get this dish at this time. I went to the imperial kitchen and made it out in the ice cellar of the fake Qin King."

"This dish is not only fragrant, but also has a wonderful effect, which is the most important thing to maintain hair and beard. You have to eat more."

"Oh... can I take care of my hair and beard?" Although I have always been called "Gorilla", Xiong Yuanba was quite persistent in the issue of hair and beard. When I heard that this dish could take care of my hair and beard, I immediately became interested and looked carefully in the four bowls.

I saw a few thin stems of fan leaves floating in the bowl. Maybe it had been stored in the ice cellar for a long time and was a little wilted.

"It seems like it's just ordinary coriander, nothing special."

Xiong Yuanba looked at the green vegetable leaves in the bowl and couldn't help but feel curious.

"Is it a unique thing in the Ming Dynasty?" Xiong Yuanba took advantage of the donkey and stopped sticking to his hunger strike plan. He wanted to get the bowls and chopsticks. He was about to start, but he heard the guards at the door shouting loudly:

"Master Xing is so happy~~! Lord Zehou is here to solve your problem!"

Before he finished speaking, the middle gate opened wide. Ze Houtian Seihide led a group of subordinates to push an extremely huge carriage into the yard.

The carriage is more than one meter high and has six wheels under it. However, the entire carriage is covered by a piece of red cloth from top to bottom, but the mystery inside cannot be seen.

Xiong Yuanba has been in the game for a long time and has never seen such a huge carriage. He can't help but feel a little curious.

Tian Jianxiu walked straight into the hall and was domineering to Xiong Yuanba:

"Gangaron hero, I brought you good things today. This was what Mr. Liu specially came to the palace to ask for you. There is only one car in the entire Chang'an City. You stand on it and climb up to see the distance. At that time, you can see the entire battlefield in full view."

"This car is said to be left by Emperor Shenzong and Concubine Zheng of the Wanli Dynasty. It is called the "Phoenix Chariot".

At that time, three thousand beauties in the harem of Shenzong were favored by Concubine Zheng. Concubine Zheng was lazy and had not been to court for decades, and he was even more reluctant to walk around. So he built such a phoenix chariot, and he could eat and live with Concubine Zheng whenever he wanted to go."

"When we retreated from Beijing last year, we saw that this phoenix chariot was a rare thing, so we couldn't bear to throw it away. We worked hard to pull it all the way from Beijing to Shaanxi. I didn't expect it would be cheaper now!"

"But this thing may be a bit presumptuous. Last night, I found a skilled craftsman in the city overnight and transformed it for you a little, but I don't know if it's in line with your wishes."

After saying that, he slapped twice. The guards on both sides of the car drove away the red cloth covered in the car.

I saw that this huge car was luxurious and luxurious, with crisp bells in front. The shafts and railings were decorated with silver and silver, and the curtains were covered with Shu brocade embroidered with clouds and mist.

The four large pillars on the car are exquisitely carved, and countless small pillars are standing around them. On the top of the pillar, a red sandalwood canopy was laid. On the four corners of the canopy, four magical beasts of different shapes were embedded, and cigarettes were also scattered.

Xiong Yuanba walked around the "phoenix chariot" a few times and touched the pillars around the chariot. He always felt that the "phoenix chariot" was strange, so he wrote on the paper: "If I did not admit my mistake, can this thing be called a "cage"..."

Tian Jianxiu coughed awkwardly and said, "How could it be a cage? Gorilla hero, don't think too much. In order for this phoenix chariot to comply with the regulations, I broke off the dragon and phoenix heads on it overnight and replaced it with the head of the orangutan."

"But there is no one who can carve orangutans in our Chang'an City, so I found two carpenters who are good at carving monkeys. However, this skill is really good. The pillars on these four sides were originally carved with Panlong, and the carpenter changed it to a fairy ape to catch the moon with just a few swords."

"Looking at this canopy again, it turned out that the dragon and phoenix seized the pearl, but now it has been changed to a spiritual ape fighting for peaches. It can be said that it is vivid, and it really cost me a lot of money~!"

After hearing Tian Jianxiu's words, Xiong Yuanba looked around the "phoenix chariot" for a long time. He felt that although it was a gorgeous cage no matter how you look at it, it seemed acceptable. This "phoenix chariot" was much taller than an ordinary carriage. When he sat inside, he had a broad vision...

As for the pillars around the phoenix chariot... After all, Liu Zongmin and Tian Mixiu were afraid of escaping themselves, so it would be hard to understand if they nailed some pillars...

...

After seeing Tian Jianxiu off, Xiong Yuanba returned to the house and was about to pick up his job, he heard the guards at the door shouting:

"Master Xing is so happy~~! Lord Ma is here to solve your problem!"

As he spoke, Ma Bao and several people led six fat "war horses" to the yard.

Several people next to Ma Bao skillfully put the "war horse" on the shaft of the carriage. Ma Bao smiled and entered the house with a eager look on his face, pulled Xiong Yuanba and walked out.

He pointed to the six "war horses" in the yard with pride and was domineering to Xiong Yuan:

"Master Xing, look at the bright color of the hair, look at the fat on your body, and then look at the teeth. If it is not such a big animal, you can't pull your phoenix chariot."

To be honest, it is really not easy to find a pair of people with uniform fur and strong physiques. In order to get enough of these six beasts, I almost ran all over the market in Chang'an City!"

Xiong Yuanba followed Ma Bao's hand and looked at the six "war horses" in the courtyard. As expected, as Ma Bao said, he was fat and strong, with bright fur. Just looking at the body frame of each end, he estimated that his weight would be more than a thousand pounds.

However, the "war horse" seems to have a little longer ears, a white mouth, and two white circles on its eyes...

"Is this a mule?" Xiong Yuanba wrote on paper.

Ma Bao curled his lips and said, "Your Majesty, you obviously don't like this mule when you speak like this... You must know that these six mules are not ordinary people, they are real Sichuan and Shaanxi green mules!"

"It is made of mating horses from the Western Regions and the yelling donkeys from Xichuan. It is the most enduring and durable force and the power of carrying the load is definitely not comparable to an ordinary bad horse."

"As for why you got these six green mules, it wasn't my horse and Bao who was reluctant to trap you. It was really a matter of etiquette. The emperor rode six horses and the ministers rode four horses. You are neither the ministers nor the emperor. We cannot be caught by the enemy."

"However, if there are fewer horses pulling the cart, you can't pull your phoenix chariot, so I worked hard to find these six green mules, which cost me a lot of money~!"

Xiong Yuanba looked at the six mules and couldn't help but sigh. Feudal etiquette is a great harm. This mule is just a mule, at least it is powerful. If someone pushes his phoenix chariot on the battlefield, it would be inconvenient.

No matter what, Ma Bao was very kind, so he bowed his hands to thank him.

At this moment, I heard the guards at the door shouting:

"Master Xing is so happy~~! Lord Xia is here to solve your problem!"

Xiong Yuanba and Ma Bao looked towards the door at the same time, and saw Prime Minister Xia walking in with something in his arms.

When he arrived in the yard, Xia Guoxiang was stunned when he saw Ma Bao also in the yard.

Ma Bao was also surprised and said, "Mr. Xia, what baby are you bringing?"

Xia Guoxiang looked at the phoenix chariot and the animals parked in the yard. He smiled slightly and said, "I am a poor scholar, so I can't afford any carriage or mule and horse. But these things of mine are also practical!"

As he said that, he spread the things in his arms and gave them to Ma Bao and Xiong Yuanba to watch.

It turned out that what he was holding was a few wooden signs painted with tung oil.

Xia Guoxiang took out a charcoal stick from his sleeve. He wrote a few words lightly on the wooden sign, and saw that the handwriting on the wooden sign was clearly visible.

Then the Prime Minister Xia Guofu gently brushed the handwriting on the wooden sign was easily swept away.

Ma Bao looked surprised and said, "Although this thing is simple, it is really practical. It is exactly what Master Xing needs. Mr. Xia is indeed as careful as his hair. Ma Bao admires it."

Xia Guoxiang was naturally happy when he heard Ma Bao's praise. He handed the wooden sign and carbon rod to Xiong Yuanba.

Xiong Yuanba took the thing with both hands and thought it seemed good. If Zheng Chen was flying all over the sky on the battlefield, it would be not convenient to communicate with paper. Now that he has this wooden sign, it has really solved some problems.

But he seemed familiar to the wooden sign, as if he had seen it in a cartoon when he was a child...

...

After Ma Bao and Prime Minister Xia left, Xiong Yuanba was still thinking about writing on wooden signs when he was holding his job. What cartoon he had seen in, why was he stunned for a moment...

At this moment, I heard the guards at the door shouting:

"Master Xing is so happy~~! General Xiao Nai is here to solve your problem!"

Then a few steps sounded, and a fox-faced general picked up the curtain of the wind-shielding curtain at the door of the hall and walked in.

When Xiong Yuanba saw this fox-faced general, he was angry. In the Dashun army, Zhang Nai, who had a fox-faced face, was the worst. He was cruel and cruel, and he was the most unfair.

So Xiong Yuanba glanced at Zhang Nai, and was too lazy to get up. He curled his lips and picked up his rice bowl and wanted to eat steamed buns. But as soon as he picked up the chopsticks, Zhang Nai stopped him.

Zhang Nai looked at the four bowls of steamed buns that had cooled off on the table, pulled them aside with his hands, and mysteriously took out a ball of black stuff from his arms and placed it on the table, saying:

"Master Xing, don't say I don't take care of you. I heard that you haven't eaten recently. I went to the ice cellar of the fake Qin King. I made some rare things for you to ensure that your appetite has increased greatly after eating. You are the one who knows you if you don't fight or know each other. The grudges between us will be exposed!"

In the past few days, Zhang Nai saw that both Liu Zongmin and Tian Jianxiu looked at Xiong Yuanba differently, and knew that they were loving talents and wanted to recruit Xiong Yuanba as his subordinates.

As Li Zicheng's godson, he naturally had to be generous, so he became aware of his cultivation. I heard that Xiong Yuanba did not eat anything these days, so he really spent some time to go to the ice cellar of the pseudo-Qin King to get this thing out.

"There are so many things in this pseudo-Qin King's ice cellar..." Xiong Yuanba secretly complained in his heart, "But what is this thing?"

Xiong Yuanba picked up the black stuff on the table and fiddled with it for a long time before he understood it. It turned out that the black stuff turned out to be a plate of banana leaves.

The bananas he usually sees are green and green. The plate of bananas is black in color, with a thick layer of white frost hanging on it, and the whole ball is frozen and wrinkled in a ball. No wonder he didn't understand it for a while.

When Zhang Nai saw Xiong Yuanba holding the banana for a long time, he thought he didn't know him, so he patiently explained:

"This rare thing is called banana. It is the most common in Jiangnan, but it is rare here. Legend has it that monkeys in Lingnan like this thing the most. When they were picked, the color was still green. When they were picked in spring, they were placed in the ice cellar for half a year, and the color changed a little.

However, the taste is still soft and sour. It can greatly increase your appetite. There are many fruit cores here. When you eat it, don’t swallow it whole. If it gets stuck, it will be unbeautiful..."

Xiong Yuanba looked at Zhang Nai's earnest gaze and suddenly remembered the cartoon he saw when he was a child called "Ranma". There is a panda who can't speak, holding such a sign and writing all day long!

"Wooden cage...mule...wooden signs used to write...banana..."

"I don't think of two things yet, but adding these four things to one piece will inevitably make people think a lot..."

"His uncle! I won't eat this meal today, Mr. Xiong!"
