Chapter 38: Chef 37 (End)

Think of the peaceful times and bustling scenes of the past, and look at the flames and mountains and rivers that are now broken. Lin Dan finds that he can no longer stand by and watch. She dug out a wine jar buried in the cave, and after several rounds to the front, she wanted to meet Weiyuanhou.
"Who do you want to see Ben Hou?" Wei Yuanhou almost thought he heard it wrong.
"Return to Lord Hou, Lin Danlin, the shopkeeper wants to meet you. She has been waiting for you for more than twenty days outside the barracks. If I had just seen her when I was out of the barracks today, I don't know how long she will wait." Wei The distant guard leader once followed the master every day to eat in his hometown restaurant, how could he not know Lin Tsang. At the beginning, Hou Ye's condition had worsened and he was too thin, but he had to rely on Lin's good skills to make up his body.
"She is a lonely woman, so she didn't stay at home and went to the border to do even more!" Weiyuanhou frowned, seemingly unhappy, but still hurriedly stood up and went to the door to pick up someone.
"Master Hou, I haven't seen you for many years, don't you come to know?" Lin Dan saluted with a smile.
"Don't stand here, follow me to the account." Weiyuan Hou read all the way: "Why did you run over? Is there any danger on the road? This is not a good place. It may soon be bloody, and the corpse will be everywhere You should leave soon. I will you. "
"Master Hou, I'm here to give you a gift." Lin Dan put the jar in his arms on the table.
"What wine is this?" Weiyuanhou finally showed his first smile in recent days. Since he is used to eating in his hometown restaurant, he has rarely drank again, because Lin Tsang refused to let him. He didn't know why he was so obedient, but it turned out that Lin's shopkeeper could not help but listen. He had already lost his health and was getting weaker, but he gradually recovered under the careful nourishment of the treasurer of the forest. Otherwise, there is no such person as Weiyuanhou in this world.
"This is your long-cherished liquor." Lin Dan poured the clear wine into the empty bowl.
"Let's be separated for less than three years? Well, you, Lin Dan, say that it takes at least three years to make a thousand-day sake. Then where did your wine come from? You hit me on purpose!" Wei Yuanhou Stare angrily.
"This is a drink I have stored elsewhere. It has been buried for five years." Lin Dan smiled lightly: "However, when I came today, I did not deliver this wine, but the contents of the wine. Lord Hou."
Weiyuan Hou took a closer look, but saw that a slender, pink meat worm was flowing out of the clear wine. As soon as this worm came out, the mellow and fragrant liquor actually emitted a more overbearing smell, so that the entire camp could be smelled. Not to mention how salivating he was, even the soldiers standing outside his account couldn't help but his nose and shook his head as if drunk.
"Is this a wine bug?" Weiyuan Hou couldn't believe his eyes.
"Yes. Only top-grade wine can breed wine bugs. Put it in clear water. After a while, the clear water can also turn into a bowl of wine." Lin Dan took out the wine bugs and put them in a bowl filled with water. After a short while, the mouth of the bowl exudes a strong aroma of wine.
Weiyuan Hou took a deep breath and immediately laughed: "Lin Dan, I like your gift!"
Lin Dan raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "But do you know, Lord Hou? The wine bug can live in fine wine or in clear water, but if it is put into a turbid liquid, it will die immediately. "She said as she drove the wine bugs into the empty bowl and poured some brown tea. I saw the drunk tumbling violently, and immediately became rigid, then slowly turned into a stream of blood.
Wei Yuanhou's ecstatic mood fell to the bottom of the valley instantly, a pair of eagle eyes glared at Lin Dan, as if angry, but he couldn't bear to blame her for half a word. No matter how precious the wine bug is, it's not as good as this person's weight in his heart.
Lin Dan looked back without fear, and continued, "Houye, I say frankly that my hands can turn decay into magic. No matter how weird the ingredients are, they always become delicious in my hand, but there is something, No matter how hard I try, there is no way to make it into a dish, do you know what it is? "
"What is it?" Weiyuanhou asked patiently.
"It's Guanyin soil. The most I've seen along the way is blood flowing into the river, hungry and hungry everywhere, people are displaced, they can't stay safe, they are hungry and eat everything. Belly is dead. Have you ever tasted the taste of Guanyin soil? Do you know the feeling of being homeless and living forever? People in Da Chu Kingdom, just like this wine bug struggling in turbid liquid, will one day or another Bloody water. Lord Hou, what are you defending at the border? "
Weiyuan Hou was trying to answer, but was interrupted by Lin Dan: "You are defending the imperial power, the emperor, and his absolute rule over the Great Chu Kingdom. You pride yourself on being loyal, but otherwise you ca n’t see the struggle The people of Limin under the imperial power. If you really attack the alliance of Tang Shizi and Xiaojun Wang from the back, the Iron Horse of the Huns will go straight into the Central Plains and break the mountains and rivers. At that time, the emperor can save his throne by cutting a few cities. You can see the people struggling to survive in these cities. You are not ignorant of the inferiority of the Huns. They only know aggression and governance. They will harvest the lives of the people in the city, kill everyone, and kill all. The houses were burned down, not even the chickens and dogs. After occupying these cities, they will become stronger and stronger, but the big Chu country that lost the city and become torn apart will become weaker and weaker. Within five years, another The war will break out between the two countries. This time, who can save the people, who can save the world, are you? "
Lin Dan looked at Weiyuanhou directly and forced to ask, "Is everything you're doing now defending Da Chu, saving the people, or helping the people, and trapping the people in the water and fire?" Your battle might make Da Chu obtained peace for a few years, but after that? "
She drained the muddy water in the bowl, and her voice became calm again: "Living in troubled times, no one can escape the fate of being a cricket. Living in the heyday, there will be wine and food, and a wine bug will die. Tens of thousands of wine bugs can be raised again. Houye, you are distinguished, even if the country is in ruins and the people are not talking about life, you still have a way to get food to make fine wine. But do you know that when you enjoy fine food, the people Are you eating soil or even eating people? Houye, you retreat, and the world is peaceful. Without this wine bug, I can raise more wine bugs for you in the future, do you think? "
Weiyuan Hou's gloomy mood has been replaced by thoughtful thinking. After a long time, when Lin Dan was about to give up, he slowly turned his finger on his hand and said: "Lin Dan, we can say well, you can't Repent. You can't stop how much I want to drink in the future. "
Lin Dan smiled and nodded. "Okay, don't regret it."
…………
That night, Tang Jiu and the King of Yunnan and Guizhou, no, now they should be called King of Yunnan and Qian, sitting at the campfire and drinking. Tomorrow the Hun king will launch a general attack on them, and Weiyuan Hou will presumably also take a step. Both sides were pinched, and this war was likely to lose. But they can't retreat, take a step back, the Huns will go further, and the people of Dachu will certainly suffer.
"If only I could persuade the old man in Weiyuanhou," said Shen Qian, the king of Yunnan.
"Can't advise, he didn't see anyone before the war." Tang Jiu shook his head.
The King of Yunnan and Guizhou sneered, and gritted his teeth, "Then I will fight for you."
Just then, Zhao Liu hurried over, handed a letter, and lowered his voice, "General, this is sent by Weiyuanhou, please take a look."
After Tang Jiu opened the envelope and looked at it ten lines at a time, his tense face showed a faint expression. The King of Yunnan and Guizhou looked over and was very surprised. In the letter, Weiyuan Hou not only promised to withdraw his troops, but also willing to cooperate with them in a play to lure the Huns into a trap and hang him.
"Is there any fraud?"
"Go check out Weiyuan Hou hasn't seen anyone recently. His attitude has changed so much that there can be no sign of it. Regardless of whether there is fraud or not, this is always the first line of life." Tang Jiu calmly analyzed.
The scout quickly discovered the news, saying that a woman with a beautiful figure and a beautiful appearance held a jar of wine and went to see Weiyuanhou. The wine was very magical. She just opened the mouth of the jar. The camp was soaked. The two talked secretly in the account. After the woman left, Wei Yuanhou changed his mind.
"Is it the shopkeeper Lin?" The king of Yunnan and Guizhou chuckled, "Only the shopkeeper Lin can make that kind of wine. The old man listened to the shopkeeper Lin most. The shopkeeper told him not to drink. He didn't even touch the glass. The shopkeeper Lin asked him to have breakfast, and he would go to his hometown restaurant when it was dark. I did not expect that the shopkeeper Lin was so profound and righteous that he ran to the border alone to persuade the old man to withdraw at the time of crisis. We all owed her a life . "
Tang Jiu's eyes flickered like joy and sorrow, and it took a long while to mutely: "It's not just you and me, everyone in the world owes her a thank you. In that case, I will go to Weiyuanhou tonight in person. Zhao Liu, you Send someone to pick Lin Dan back. The border gate is too dangerous. I don't worry. "
However, after the night, Lin Dan disappeared. The war ended with the defeat of the Huns. The King of the Huns was cut off with a right arm, and it was difficult to escape from birth. The secret letter that the emperor colluded with the Huns to sell the city was found by Tang Jiu, forcing him to abdicate. Tang Peng was the first general to invade the capital. He went all the way to the harem and strangled Yan Langqing, who had fallen out of favor, to death. His body was hung on the beam of the cold palace, and he was allowed to put her down until the rotting bones. That's where Tang Guifei hanged herself.
The once-popular Yan Family Restaurant has long been in ruins, and Lin No. 2 and Lin No. 3 have nowhere to make a living and are extremely embarrassed. Occasionally, they passed by the Sanchakou Hutong, but saw that the hometown restaurant was still open, and the business was very prosperous. Tang Jiu, who had already become the emperor, was dressed in casual clothes and sat in the shop. He looked carefully at a stack of books and shrouded his eyes. With joy and thoughts.
It was a travel note written by Lin Dan. The trustee brought it back to Beijing and gave it to Mr. Qiu's chef for teaching. This rural restaurant was opened by Mr. Qiu's chef. She wrote down the wine and food she met in a story-telling manner, and she used vivid words and sentences. Looking at these words, Tang Jiu can imagine how free and unrestrained she is. Every once in a while, she would send a fine wine to Weiyuanhou, but unfortunately she would always be cut off by soup. He also tried to find her, but she took a step every night. She was like a wind. When you thought you could catch it, you slipped away along your fingers.
Someone once asked what was the most delicious meal Tang Jiuping had ever eaten. Tang Jiu thought with his eyes closed and smiled, "You may not believe it. The most delicious meal I have ever eaten is a decapitation rice……"
