When three people are together, I must be my teacher
Sun Ce's sweep of Jiangdong was very fast, but he also accumulated hatred very quickly. The victims were not limited to the Lu family.
The seeds of hatred buried in the heart will one day take root and sprout.
Long Xiang guided Zhang Zhao and Deng Dang to bring the Hero Monument model to Jiangdong. His original intention was to stimulate the victims and let them stumble overtly or secretly the Sun family, and also to pave the way for Liu Bei to go south in the future. However, he did not know that he was famous in Jiangdong because of this.
Lu Yi is not the only one who has a favorable impression.
After the generals of Chu, Long Qi, and going back hundreds of years, they were all from the same county and hometown, and a sense of intimacy was immediately felt.
History is always full of amazing coincidences. The situation in Jiangdong at this time is similar to that of Yizhou.
Liu Yan and Liu Zhang used their three assistants and the Nanyang refugees to crazily suppress the wealthy Yizhou clan. As a result, Yizhou locals contacted Liu Bei to replace them. Sun Ce led Sun Jian's old troops and Huaisi civil and military forces to occupy the land of Jiangdong by killing powerful people. There were also people in Jiangdong who wanted to borrow it.
External forces drove away the Sun family.
As the construction of the Wuxian monument began, emotions such as praise and disgust slowly fermented in Jiangdong, while the instigator, far away in Hefei, was waiting for the dough to ferment in the Fuzhong kitchen.
Except for Long Xiang, the "big wronged", who ate the bowl of noodles in extremely poor condition in front of Lu Su, the ladies in the back house only tasted it briefly and asked the kitchen to make a few more bowls of soup cakes that night.
The next day, Mrs. Chen asked Qiao Min to ask Long Xiang if he had any other special hobbies, so that she could avoid them as much as possible when living with her two daughters in the future.
Long Xiang was dumbfounded by the question. He immediately took Qiaomi to the craftsman camp and asked the carpenter to make a rolling pin as required. Then he returned home to demonstrate how to make noodles in person.
After the dough was ready, Long Xiang picked it up and started kneading it. Qiaoqiao next to him was amazed.
In the past, I just waited to eat at home, but now for the first time, I saw the flour forming into balls and being kneaded into different shapes after swelling.
Qiao Min has a young mind and even finds it very funny.
Long Xiang had been single in the previous world, but he was very proficient in survival skills such as cooking.
After the project is completed, I call a few friends to camp by myself, make a fire to cook, and drink some wine. Sometimes I get fish, shrimp, and crabs from the river ditch. Although the scene is not as good as surviving in the wilderness, it is worse than using pre-made dishes at home. Making noodles or even ordering takeout requires a lot of practice.
The dough is first rolled into a long strip, then pulled into several small balls for later use, then rolled into a pancake shape with a rolling pin, and then cut into long and thin strips with a knife.
Long Xiang even grabbed the two ends of the noodles and brushed them on the chopping board a few times like a ramen chef, finally removing any irregularities.
The series of movements were so smooth and flowing that Qiaoqiao was dumbfounded.
He murmured: "It turns out that this is the shape of the noodles last night, it's just right."
"The noodles are too thick and difficult to cook. If cooked for a long time, the outer layer will become batter and the texture will not look good, and the appearance will become worse."
Long Xiang picked up the noodles on his fingers, pointed at the water in the pot and said: "Confucius said, 'When three people walk together, there must be a teacher.' There is also a lot of knowledge that can be learned in life. For example, when we cook noodles now, we must boil them under boiling water."
Only the pot can be used, this is the so-called timing."
"oh"
Qiao Min nodded and said to himself: "If the cold water is not boiling, the noodles will take too long to cook, and the outside will become batter when cooked?"
"Children can be taught."
Long Xiang nodded in surprise, picked up his chopsticks and stirred in the pot, and continued to reason while cooking noodles.
"The raw noodles will sink to the bottom of the pot and will stick to each other if not stirred. This is like training new recruits. You must set the rules at the first time, otherwise it will be disorganized and disorderly."
"I see."
Qiao Miao nodded and slowly figured it out for himself.
After a while, the noodles were cooked and served.
In order to make the taste better, Long Xiang poured some cold water over it before filling the bowl, then handed it to Qiao Zhi and said, "Try my noodles and see how they are different from last night's noodles."
"well"
Qiao Miao became greedy when she saw the food on display, and was not polite to her brother-in-law at all. She took the bowl and ate in the kitchen.
Long Xiang turned around and went back to rolling and cutting noodles. He had just tasted Long's noodles for Mr. Qiao, so naturally he couldn't forget the three women in the back house.
While he was working, he asked: "How is it? How is it compared to last night?"
"Of course this one is delicious, but the one last night was ugly and tasted terrible."
"Haha, it's actually made of flour. It depends on how the process is handled. It's the same as human growth. People with the same origin have different endings. For example, two brothers, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, one of them wanted to drink honey water until he died, but he couldn't.
The other now dominates Hebei."
"Brother can make sense when cooking noodles. He is better than the Confucian scholar who taught me how to read and calligraphy. Anyway, I am not a martial arts material. I will learn from you in the future."
"When three of us are together, we must have my teacher. Anyone who meets the right person can learn from it. You don't have to be limited to one person for advice. But if you learn something from me, I will not only teach you the principles, but also let you practice them."
"Um?"
Just when Qiao Wan was puzzled, Long Xiang turned around and handed him the rolling pin: "As the saying goes, learn and practice. You just watched me roll and cut the noodles. After you finish eating, try it yourself."
"okay."
Qiao Miao's lips were stained with soup juice. After responding, he picked up the bowl and didn't let go of the soup.
Long Xiang then asked Qiaowen to roll and cut the noodles, and taught him how to watch the heat, when to remove the noodles from the pot, how to prepare the soup base, etc.
The two of them worked in the kitchen for nearly an hour and finally finished processing several portions of noodles.
While waiting for the water to boil, I suddenly heard the guard calling outside the door.
"Long Sima, Governor Cao has something urgent to see you."
Is Cao Xing in a hurry? Long Xiang couldn't help but be startled when he heard this. He thought to himself that Sun Ce was calling, right?
He immediately handed over the kitchen to Qiao Wan and told him: "It's easier to cook the noodles. Let the young master handle it by himself. Madam, if the young lady eats your noodles, she will probably be so shocked that she won't open her mouth from ear to ear, but be careful not to burn your hands."
.”
"Oh, brother, I have been busy for a long time and haven't had a bite yet." Qiao Nian hesitated before speaking.
Long Xiang patted the flour in his hand and consoled him with a smile: "Things have their own priorities. How can such appetite delay important military and political affairs? I can eat at any time. I am not in a hurry."
"I can spare it."
After saying this, Long Xiang walked out of the kitchen and saw the maid in charge of the kitchen waiting outside. He asked her to come in and help, and then strode towards the main hall.
As soon as they reached the steps in front of the palace, they saw Cao Xing coming up to him eagerly.
"Is there another situation in the south?"
Long Xiang was preemptive when he opened his mouth, mistakenly thinking that there was another enemy situation in Chaohu.
Cao Xing clasped his fists and replied: "There is something going on in the north. The cavalry scouts were thirty miles upstream from Shishui River and found a group of dozens of cavalrymen. They must be coming to Hefei."
"Dozens of riders?"
Long Xiang frowned and said to himself: "This distance is very close to our farming area. Could it be that Yan Xiang stretched his claws over here?"
"My cavalry is too scattered when sent out, and it will take time to bring it back to meet the enemy." Cao Xing expressed his difficulty.
"The cavalry in Hefei are precious, so they are reluctant to use them to fight against others. If these people come to harass the fields in Hefei, just driving them away may not be enough."
Long Xiang shook his head and ordered: "Let your people continue to inquire about the situation. Zhong Kang and I will take two hundred people to the meeting."
"only"
