The 108th chapter was calculated (2)
Furthermore, although the Liuzhou rat disease is a big deal, Wei Hong is enough to go alone, and they don’t have much help. It’s like going to the battlefield to fight, and no matter how many civilians get, it’s useless because their profession is not right. Later, after Wei Hong asked, he learned that they only knew about this decision last night. And the decision was made by the old men from various families. Wei Hong was very puzzled. Why did those powerful old people rack their brains to push their own son to him? Although they were not very happy, since they had already arrived, Wei Hong had nothing to say. As a matter of fact, if these second-generation officials were not with them, how could there be nearly one hundred soldiers escorting them, and it would be good to be able to distribute ten or eight.
Wei Hong likes to ride horses, but he can only treat it as a hobby. If Wei Hong really wants to ride Wei Hong for ten or eight days, Wei Hong couldn't stand it. In the end, he squeezed into the carriage with Fang Yizhi and Du He, and the team began to march towards Liuzhou City. Taking advantage of these few days, Wei Hong simply taught Fang in the carriage. Some basic tips for sketching by Du and the others were allowed to practice by themselves. The journey was always boring. After five days, Wei Hong couldn't stand it anymore, so he let the convoy beside a stream for a long time. Because it was the time, the fish in the stream were still very plump, and along the way, he only ate dry food, and a bird faded out of his mouth. Wei Hong took Cheng Chumo and others into the stream to catch fish. Fang, Du and the others were all thinking about sketching and did not participate in the fishing operation.
Wei Hong is good at eating fish, and catching fish is an amateur. He mainly relies on Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin. Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin each held a sharpened wooden stick and rolled up their legs in the stream. As long as they locked the target, they would raise the stick and fall with their hands, with an accuracy rate of up to 80 or 90%. In less than a while, they caught more than twenty large crucian carp.
If only Wei Hong and a few others were there, there would be enough food for more than twenty crucian carp, but with the hundred soldiers accompanying him, it would be too difficult. These soldiers in this family protected their safety and could not let others work in vain. After a brief thought, Wei Hong came up with a plan to divide the twenty crucian carp into two parts. Wei Hong and others left ten, and the rest were handed over to the accompanying chefs, so that the chef could make soup to satisfy the soldiers' cravings. As for his ten fish, he chose the way to roast them. He asked Zhou Dali to find some bamboo, split them into thin bamboo sticks, clean up the fish's internal organs, and then skew them directly on the bamboo sticks.
Cheng Chumo said that he had roasted fish when he followed Old Cheng before, saying that he wanted to show his hands. After the fire caught, he hung the fish on the fire and roasted it. Seeing this, Wei Hong snatched the fish back from Cheng Chumo's hand and scolded him for restraining the things. If he roasted it like this, the inside would be uncooked and the outside would be muddy.
Wei Hong pointed to these fish and opened the meat and did not let Cheng Chumo interfere again. After the wood was burned through the fire, cover the sand on the wood and extinguish the fire, and then take out the charcoal. Dig a hole again, put the charcoal in and light it. The charcoal burned out is a dark fire, which is most suitable for barbecue. Then cut a few holes on the fish with a knife, then put the fish on the top of the charcoal and bake it slowly. After the grill is almost done, sprinkle a layer of thin salt on it, and wait until the salt melts and merges with the fish meat, and the work is done.
When Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin marched, they only ate baked fish with open fire. They had delicacies at home, so there was no need to eat grilled fish. After eating the fish roasted by Wei Hong, Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin were amazed. While eating the fish they feasted, they regretted that they used to grill fish. Since there were only ten fish in total, each person could get two. Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin had a big appetite and ate their two fish in a few bites, but they were still not satisfied, so they beat the remaining grilled fish.
Cheng Chumo was swallowing and spitting, and rubbed his hands and said, "Mr. Wei, Brother Fang and Brother Du are scholars, with a small appetite. They can't finish eating two fish on one person. Why not give me one more?"
Yuchi Baolin nodded repeatedly, saying that Wei Hong's distribution method was problematic, and it should not be distributed equally, but should be distributed as needed. Their two had a big appetite, and each person should be divided into three parts. Fang Yizhi and Du He had a small appetite, so one part was enough. Wei Hong said that they were a fallacy, and they were not convinced, so they had to eat another one no matter what. Helplessly, Wei Hong had to ask Fang Yizhi and Du He. After they agreed, they agreed to give Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin one another one. There were two left, and Wei Hong left one himself, called Zhou Dali, and gave Zhou Dali one one.
Zhou Dali had never eaten anything good before. Since following Wei Hong, he has eaten a lot of good things. Zhou Dali grinned while gnawing on the fish: "Young Master, compared with the fish you grilled, you can't even eat the fish in Dejulou!"
Wei Hong smiled and said, "Eat more and talk less."
Wei Hong was careful to chew slowly when eating, so that the fragrance of food spreads in his mouth and experience the ultimate taste of food. After half of a fish, Cheng Chumo ate all three fish. It was not enough to finish it. He also stared at Wei Hong and looked at Wei Hong so hard that he felt uncomfortable. He had to give him the remaining half of the fish, and he was willing to give him.
After eating, everyone sat on the ground to digest food. When they were free, Wei Hong asked Cheng Chumo: "Chumo, why did your father ask you to go to Liuzhou with me? Are you not afraid that if there is any mistake in the Liuzhou rat, the plague will break out, and leave your life?"
Cheng Chumo picked his teeth with a fish bone and smashed his mouth, "My father is not afraid. According to my father, I die, and my brother. If my brother dies, he will have another one at the worst. He also has to tell his brother how your brother died and take it as a warning." Cheng Chumo said very easily, and he didn't know whether he was joking, or whether Old Cheng was so heartless and treated his own flesh and blood as grass.
Yuchi Baolin kicked Cheng Chumo and told Cheng Chumo to stop talking nonsense. Then he said to Wei Hong: "One night before leaving, my father talked to me. Some clues can be seen from my father's words. My father seemed to want us to get closer. Another thing is that since the rebellion of Binzhou was put down, our brothers have been wandering around the capital and have nothing to do. Going to Liuzhou City to solve the problem of rats, the main thing is to show the emperor to let the emperor know that we are not idle and exaggerated, but can also do some serious things. The night before yesterday we broke into the Wei Gong Mansion at night, and the next day we all knew that the court had known that most officials were afraid of our power in the court and did not dare to make a big fuss, but the censors still gave some unpleasant opinions. This time we went to Liuzhou, we were also avoiding the limelight."
