Chapter 85:

The group of people started off in a light car, and did not intermittently until midday.
Today is the first day, everyone did not eat dry food, most of them eat meat as much as possible, they are all meat biscuits. When you get to the back, stop on the official road, and if there is no post nearby, you can only eat dry food.
Someone set up a pot to boil water, and Lin Cheng touched Xie Xun's side. Seeing Xie Xun took out a sandwich, he asked curiously: "Is this your wife prepared for you?"
Xie Xun nodded.
Lin Cheng didn't speak any more. He ordered two cups of hot tea and sat down next to Xie Xun again.
Lin Cheng took a bite of the biscuits he brought. Although they were baked early in the morning, they were a bit dry. Picking up the tea cup and taking a sip, one side of his head, he found that Xie Xun had opened the oil paper in his hand.
Lin Cheng looked at the food in his hand, which looked like steamed buns and steamed buns. The outer layer was white and soft, with green vegetables and crimson patties in it, which looked very strange.
He watched Xie Xun take a bite, and sure enough, the outer layer of cake was soft and moist, not at all dry and hard like the oil cake he had baked.
Is it a bun? Steamed buns will also dry.
Xie Xun ate a few bites of sandwiches and felt Lin Cheng's gaze. When his gaze swept around and felt itchy on his face, he said helplessly: "You eat, what are you looking at me? Hurry up."
Lin Cheng nodded and nibbled the cake, and said vaguely: "I eat, I eat."
"Kacha" He took a bite of the cake and chewed vigorously, staring straight at the cake in Xie Xun's hand, his expression looked a bit hideous.
One more bite, this one is even drier, it is very hard to chew, and even the eyebrows are being used, and it is even more hideous, as if you will come over to take a bite in the next second.
Xie Xun, whose scalp was numb when he stared at him: ...Is there anyone to eat?
He looked around helplessly, surreptitiously opened his baggage, took out a bamboo box inside, and whispered: "There are some unfilled ones here. The lady said that as long as it is sealed, it will not dry and can be preserved. Longer." I planned to save it later.
He unpacked the oily paper wrapped in the bamboo box, took out two pieces of toast, and handed them to Lin Cheng: "Don't let them see." It's not that he is stingy, there are so many people, one piece for one person, and one meal. empty.
Lin Cheng nodded and sneaked into the bushes of the road.
The toast is evenly thick and thin, put on the tip of the nose, there is a strong milk fragrance, the taste of baking has a sense of happiness, sweet and long, and it actually gives people an illusion of warmth.
Lin Cheng took a bite, and sure enough, the toast was soft, the inner layer was moist with a milky fragrance, and it was not dry at all. There was no need to swallow with tea, chew slowly, and feel the fragrance of milk and wheat on the tip of the tongue. Haunting, after swallowing, there is still that fragrant and sweet aftertaste in the mouth.
Lin Cheng ate secretly. After eating, he squatted in the grass for a while, waiting for the sweet smell in his mouth to dissipate, for fear that he would be heard when talking to people for a while, and the small stove Xie Xun opened for him must be with everyone share it.
Brothers, I’m sorry, we are blessed and enjoy the difficulties, except for food.
He squatted behind the grass, and someone passing by, feeling strange, shouted: "Lin Wenrao, what are you doing? Squatting in the grass for so long?"
Someone dragged the caller away: "Stop talking, he must be showing respect. How embarrassed you are to shout."
Lin Cheng:...
Just rushing all the way, on the third day, the toast was eaten up, and Xie Xun's stock only had a few bottles of sauce left.
Everyone hurried for three days and decided to rest at the station for a good night. After all, there was no need to gnaw dry buns. After a group of people took a bath in the inn, they let the inn serve a few good dishes to prepare for a big meal.
Although everyone is of extraordinary background, they are not picky people. After eating dry food for three days, and then eating warm meals, they feel the deliciousness to the extreme.
It’s just that the chefs at the station have limited skills and can’t fry. The cooking method is mainly boiled, with some boiled meat and stews. After everyone’s hunger is gone, they gradually feel that they don’t have the taste of that time.
Xie Xun struggled a bit, but took out the sauce and let the cook get a bowl of plain noodles without adding salt.
Everyone was still eating stew with steamed buns. Hearing what he said, it was inevitable to be curious, and they all turned their eyes.
Soon the plain noodles were brought up. Xie Xun opened the bamboo bottle containing the crab paste and picked out a spoon with chopsticks.
To be honest, everyone was a little disappointed when they saw him take out a small bamboo bottle. After all, they had seen Xie Xun bring a different kind of food box every day for good value, went to his house to rub the hot pot, and went to the snack street to clean up the food. However, now Xie Xun went out with only a small bamboo bottle.
When they thought about it, they saw Xie Xun using his chopsticks to pick up a large piece of yellow orange and oily crab sauce.
The crab sauce is delicate, and when I glance at the full orange, it seems that there is no meat. When I put it on the noodles, the crab oil is soaked into the noodles, and the white and light plain surface is dyed with a light yellow color.
The main ingredient of the crab roe sauce is a fresh dish. When it is mixed with the hot noodles just out of the pot, the rich flavor of crab roe suddenly rushes to the face, mixed with the rich and mellow aroma, which is very attractive.
The noodles are covered with delicate crab paste, which may be dark or light. As soon as you taste it, the rich crab aroma immediately dyes your lips and cheeks. Because it is only used to mix plain noodles, the plump aroma is original, soft and silky, sometimes mixed with yellow plaster, the more you chew, the more fragrant, you can't bear to swallow it.
Just showing the appearance can make people salivate, and the colleagues sitting next to Xie Xun suddenly felt that the meat in their hands was not fragrant.
Usually when he eats lunch, everyone is not embarrassed to take a bite. Now that the food is not good, they only bring a small bottle of sauce made by his wife, and they are even more embarrassed to let them give a spoonful.
Everyone stared at Xie Xun's noodle bowl, chewing the stew with a fishy taste in his mouth, watching him noodles, watching his entrance, watching him chewing...
Xie Xun couldn't stand it anymore, and when he looked up, everyone looked away.
He doesn't know how to cook, but thinking about Jiang Shuyao's instructions, bibimbap and noodles are all right, and it should be okay to dress up as a dish.
He thought for a moment, took out the mushroom sauce, and said: "My wife said that this bottle of sauce tastes the most salty. If you don't mind, I can try to mix it with this plate of stew?"
Everyone didn't understand the magic of bibimbap sauce, but they had extraordinary trust in Jiang Shuyao's craftsmanship, and they nodded quickly.
Xie Xun used the chopsticks to pick out a few large chopsticks and mushroom paste, stir it a little, and the stew was simmered thoroughly, and the soup also had the gum of the skin. Put the mushroom paste in and mix it, and the thick soup was immediately stained. Add reddish brown, stir, and the original faint stew suddenly adds a salty and fresh flavor.
After Xie Xun retracted his hand, the chopsticks who couldn't wait reached out over the stew, squeezed it vigorously, and took away a piece of stew.
The stew is soft and rotten. The strong umami of the mushroom sauce removes the fishy smell of the meat, leaving only the smell of the meat. The chopped mushrooms have a clear taste and are very tough. They are mixed with the stew and are full of salty. Fresh mushroom particles are stained with meaty taste, and the more you chew, the more fresh they become.
The meal is delicious all at once, let alone mixed with meat, mixed with vegetables, noodles, mixed with rice, even if it is dipped in steamed buns, it is delicious.
It turns out that there is no need for any exquisite ingredients, just a bottle of sauce is served.
Xie Xun looked at a group of people who looked like eggplants in the past few days, and did not have any selfish thoughts. Every day they ate vegetables, they took a bottle of sauce and scooped a few spoonfuls of sauce to dress up. Everyone stopped eating rice and noodles, and asked directly. Yi Cheng wants steamed buns. Steamed bun dipping sauce is a perfect match.
When they arrived at the destination, everyone had eaten Xie Xun's sauce all the way. Although it was quite inappropriate, he couldn't help his tongue and couldn't control it.
The embezzlement case of the river embankment is very involved. The holy master sent the prince to train the prince. The local officials wanted to please the prince, but they were afraid that the prince would not like it. After all, the common people saw what they did when patrolling the embankment. The harder it is, the more it can be reflected in the people's hardworking and worrying heart, even if they are deliberately discouraged and tired, to show the worry of their parents.
They greeted the prince from a distance, and saw the prince and his group, but they were not as tired as they thought. I heard that when King Wu rushed to the locust plague, he was hard to eat and swallowed. In just a month, everyone lost a circle. Is it just a show?
But the crown prince is here, and it's normal to serve delicious food and drink along the way, but when you get here, you don't have to pay attention to those things.
However, the prince was not as exquisite as they thought. He did things harder than they did. When inspecting the embankment, a group of people were holding their trousers and feet full of mud. They didn’t mind the demeanor at all. Take care of this.
Young people can survive, but old people can't. They thought they could rest with the prince when the prince came, but they didn't expect to be more tired.
The people who repaired the river embankment saw the crown prince and his officials so fulfilling their duties, and even followed them here at night to guard the river embankment tormented, very moved and more motivated. Everyone made concerted efforts to strengthen the long river embankment little by little, and the progress was unexpectedly fast.
The old youtiao officials who wanted to be lazy and perfunctory could only suffer with the prince and his party. Everyday physical exhaustion was enough, and they could only eat steamed buns. After a few days, they were so hungry that their feet were weak and weak.
On the contrary, the officials on the Prince's side are still full of energy. Although there is dirt on their bodies, there is no sign of letting go.
When the restaurant arrived at midday, the local officials looked at the big cage of steamed buns that were sent again, their eyes rolled over, and they almost didn't take their breath away.
However, the prince and his party had no complaints, lined up obediently to clean their hands, and one of them took two big buns and left happily.
Xie Xun took out the bamboo bottle and said solemnly, "There is not much left."
The prince said: "At this point, everyone can save a little bit. Whoever does the most things today can eat an extra spoonful."
The others nodded and looked serious.
"Reduce the amount, we still have a way back."
"Yes, don't be greedy."
The people looked from a distance and saw that these nobles were all dirty, eating white steamed buns in their hands, seriously discussing something, and at first they were worried about the disrepair of the river bank. complex. When they came, the people hated the corrupt officials. Even if they weren’t greedy, no official regarded their people as human beings. Everyone instigated and yelled five and six. Now they see His Royal Highness and the future of the court. The ministers of Pilgrim learned that people are divided into groups, and not all officials have no conscience.
Remembering that the river embankment was broken by the flood last night, the people who strengthened the river embankment looked like they were about to be washed away, or two martial arts nobles rushed to rescue them quickly, and the people felt that if the court would be in the future. It was these conscientious officials who had hope for that day.
The movement of the people, the prince and a group of people do not know.
As the highest-ranking person, the prince assumed the responsibility of dividing the sauce.
"Yesterday, Bo Yuan and Wenrao rescued five people, and they deserved to get two spoons of crab sauce. Does Zhu Qing have objections?"
"No," everyone replied in unison.
Lin Cheng twisted his wrist yesterday, but the action of stretching the steamed bun did not stop at all: "Hey."
A spoonful of plump yellow-orange-orange crab sauce was applied to the big white steamed bun, and Lin Cheng couldn't wait to put it in his mouth. The delicious to extreme crab scent gave his face a satisfying look. It was so fresh and fragrant that he couldn't bear to chew it. It was only wonderful when the crab paste was slowly dissolved in his mouth.
The local officials who were sneaking and sneaking looked at Lin Cheng's expression before looking at the buns in their hands.
Are you serious? Lin's family is wealthy, and the bureaucrats of the East Palace are the future emperor's close ministers. What is delicious, you have not eaten it, and you have that look when you eat a steamed bun? Is that a bun? right?
After the prince divided the sauce, a group of people formed a big circle, gnawing on the buns.
In this matter, the unexpected happened, and the assassin from nowhere came over to thank you, pretending to be the common people. When he knocked his head, he suddenly took out his sword from his cuff and stabbed the prince. The guards standing a little farther away did not have time to rush over, and the first response was the officials of the East Palace surrounding the prince.
These people were all noble sons who had been arrested since childhood. They responded quickly and turned around to deal with the assassins.
They did not wear heavy weapons, which led to a disadvantage at the moment. Fortunately, someone took the sword, the form was reversed, and the assassins fell one after another.
The martial artist rushed forward, and the partner who had never practiced martial arts since childhood stood with the prince. Seeing that the assassin was about to be dealt with, a sword was suddenly stabbed from the back, and the weak companion was short. After passing, I saw that the sword pointed directly at the prince.
He was shocked, and subconsciously threw what was in his hand.
I saw the minced meat sauce bottle drew a beautiful arc in the air, and the spicy oil was sprayed, gradually filling the assassin's face unceremoniously.
The pain in the eyes of the spicy oil was like plucking the eyes, the assassin cried out in pain, instinctively covered his eyes, and bent down and kept wailing.
Xie Xun and the others rushed to subdue the assassin.
The frail companion yelled: "That's it!"
Everyone followed his gaze. The empty bamboo bottle fell pitifully on the ground, and the minced meat sauce was completely immersed in the silt.
Everyone was shocked.
"I've been pointing at this sauce for half a month! How could you lose it!"
"Which one was lost! Isn't it crab sauce?"
"Let me see, it's not it."
"What's the matter with you! Why did you lose the sauce? Didn't you hold it when it was handed over to you?"
The person who threw the sauce bottle: "Uuuuu."
The eyes of the assassin who were stepped on were fierce and painful, and when they heard the conversation that they didn't put him in their eyes, they were angina: Can you give the assassin the necessary respect for this daunting profession?
