It was my turn to take a shower only half a month ago. The sun outside was so strong that I was sweating. No one wanted to go out.

A living canal was introduced into the courtyard, and the small high-tube waterwheel modified by Amei's hands was spinning squeakingly.

The breeze blows, bringing some slightly moist water vapor.

The pregnant woman was emotionally unstable. In order to divert her attention, Feng Junhou invited his sister-in-law and his concubine to play mahjong with her.

Unexpectedly, the concubine's mental arithmetic ability was so strong that she controlled the whole place by herself, eating her own male husband at the top and feeding her own female queen at the bottom, killing the wife from the other side of the house and stamping her feet.

Guan Ji smiled happily and stretched out her hand, "Bring it here."

Feng Yong and Zhang Xingyi had no choice but to hand over a coin each.

For a few wealthy people, this coin is not even the tip of their hair, but it is worth fighting for.

However, Guan Ji also grabbed a lot of coins from herself and put them in Ah Mei's place as a reward.

It was simply encouraging Amei to continue cheating in front of the two of them.

"Brother-in-law! Look!"

Zhang Xingyi pointed at Guan Ji and complained to Feng Yong with a grievance on her face.

Feng Yong coughed dryly and pretended not to see it.

At the same time, I lamented in my heart, I miscalculated, I miscalculated, I would have let Amei sit on top of me.

Zhang Xingyi saw that Feng Yong did not dare to speak, so he gritted his teeth and kicked him hard under the table.

Feng Yong grinned, lowered his head and pretended to count the coins in the money bag, quietly divided out half, and then handed it over from under the table.

Zhang Xingyi's big eyes narrowed after receiving Feng Yong's help.

Guan Ji on the opposite side frowned and reached down to touch her belly: "Alang, the child moved again."

She looked at Feng Yong with some worry on her face, "What if the children hear us playing around with money like this?"

"What are you afraid of?"

Feng Yong glared at Amei who was sitting next to him, "Ask this girl to memorize pinyin and multiplication tables for you tonight, or you can memorize a thousand-character essay!"

"Okay." Guan Ji nodded happily when she heard Feng Yong's words.

Seeing the big-bellied woman's smile, Feng Yong felt relieved. Forget it, he just thought he was happy with her.

The sound of grinding teeth could be heard clearly from the side. Feng Yong did not squint and did not dare to look at Zhang Xingyi.

Amei, on the other hand, is quite discerning. When she saw both men and women saying this, she knew she had done the right thing.

I also learned that I didn’t have to go to bed at night. I was so excited that my little hands shook, and then another double kill came...

Feng Tibi was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Fortunately, the maid guarding the entrance of the courtyard came to save him: "Your Majesty, Governor Zhao has arrived in the outer hall."

Feng Yong was startled, "So fast?"

Mr. Zhao had been inspecting various passes in Longshan a few months ago, and then Wei Yan's troops from Hanzhong left Chencang.

The two generals of the Han Dynasty dispatched one from the south and the other from the north, frightening the Wei army in Guanzhong to the point of being thrown into pieces.

Chang'an, Yicheng, Chencang, and Qianxian were all extremely nervous, and they didn't know where the Han Dynasty would send troops.

Even Xiahou Ba, who was testing Xiao Guan, was ordered to return to Yuezhi City as a precaution.

I guess Cao Zhen didn't expect that his test this time would cause such a big reaction from the big man.

Mr. Zhao showed off his power on Longshan Mountain for a while, and was sure that the Wei army in Guanzhong did not dare to advance westward easily, so he returned from Longshan. Unexpectedly, he suddenly arrived in Pingxiang today.

When Feng Yong heard the news, he was a little surprised at first, and then he was overjoyed: God help me!

Then he pushed the card and said, "No more playing, I have official business!"

I still have to do official business on a day off. I am so diligent in doing business!

Feng Yong was awe-inspiring.

When he was about to get up, while Guan Ji was not paying attention, he secretly gave all the remaining money to Zhang Xingyi.

Although he looked down upon the money, the meaning was extraordinary. Zhang Xingyi's eyes turned into crescents.

Unexpectedly, Guan Ji glanced at her indifferently, signaled Amei to put away the mahjong, and said, "Three are missing one, there are only three of us, it seems we can't play."

Then she took out a deck of cards from nowhere and said, "Then let's play Cao Thief!"

When Zhang Xingyi heard this, his face turned green: Is this a fight against Cao Cao? Or a fight against Siniang?

Feng Yong escaped from the courtyard and breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he touched his body and made sure that all the coins were given to Siniang.

Then he sighed: Si Niang, I can only help you so far.

With this thought in mind, I walked towards the front hall again.

Mr. Zhao is almost half the master. After all, everyone knows that Feng Junhou and Zhao Jiaerlang are closer than brothers.

Coupled with the fact that the old general was the only one left with great achievements, there was no need to notify anyone entering or leaving the Qiang Protector's mansion.

When Feng Yong walked into the front hall, the old man was sitting there drinking tea.

There was also someone standing next to him whom Feng Yong could not imagine.

This man has eyes like pools, a face like a knife, and a tall and straight figure. What a handsome man!

"Boyue?" Feng Yong shouted in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Wei saluted Feng Yong and said, "I have met the Lord."

"Oh, you are not a king. There is no need to be so polite between you and me."

Feng Yong stepped forward and held his hands, "Sit, sit, sit down quickly! Come, serve tea, serve good tea!"

As he spoke, he pulled him to sit down.

There is nothing surprising about the old man coming here. After all, Pingxiang and Jicheng are not too far away. We can just come directly along the Tongwei river.

But Jiang Wei's arrival was too surprising. Hanzhong is not close to here.

Although he had cooperated with Feng Yong several times, he was a reduced general after all, and because of Feng Junhou's reputation and status, Jiang Wei was still a little uncomfortable with Feng Yong's enthusiasm, and he sat at the bottom with some restraint.

"The old general came here, but did he bring any good news?"

Fortunately, after Feng Yong asked him to sit down, he turned to ask Zhao Yun.

"What's the rush?" Zhao Yun patted his belly, "I've been drinking the wind in Longshan for several months. My stomach feels uncomfortable. Let's get something to eat first."

"Okay, okay, nothing else, just food."

In front of Mr. Zhao, Feng Yong did not have the courage to act arrogantly, so he quickly ordered the outsiders: "Come here, bring some plates of jelly to the old general and General Jiang! Let's bake fifty skewers of barbecue and ten roasted kidneys!"

Inspired by the black-hearted little girl from the Zhang family who mixed jelly powder into the Hu's rations, Feng Yong finally remembered something like jelly that he often ate when he was a child.

The production of jelly is not complicated. The principle is to use starch as the main material. After mixing with water, after heating and constant stirring, the starch will gelatinize and gradually become thicker.

Beans, rice, wheat, etc., as long as the food contains a lot of starch, can be used to make it.

When I was a child, I often ate my grandma’s jelly made from soybeans, and she often helped with it.

On the contrary, when I grew up and moved away from home, I never had the chance to try it again.

My nose feels a little sore just thinking about it.

As a food preparation for shortages, Yutou must be planted every year. Although not much is planted, the yield cannot be high.

So Feng Yong made rice noodles based on Yutou and a certain amount of rice.

Pour in soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil. If you don't have chili pepper, use Sichuan peppercorns instead. Boil the Sichuan peppercorn oil, mix it a few times, and inhale it. It will be cool and smooth, slightly numb but not spicy.

It’s perfect to eat on a hot summer day.

"Old general, do you want coriander?"

After Feng Yong mixed it, he asked.

Some people like coriander very much, while others are disgusted by the smell. You have to ask first.

Mr. Zhao twitched his nose, and just the smell of the condiments made his mouth water. "Put it in, put it in, put it all in!"

"Okay!"

Feng Yong picked up the chopped coriander from the plate next to him and sprinkled it on top.

Taking the large bowl from Feng Yong's hand, Zhao Yun took up a large chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation.

Sure enough, the food in Feng Yong's hands did not disappoint him as always.

But for Feng Yong, barbecue without cumin is missing half of its soul. He can only marinate it with ginger and wine to remove the fishy smell.

Because the molasses left in the mead actually gives the roasted meat a different flavor.

In addition, even if you are a wealthy family these days, the rituals are more exquisite, but when it comes to taste, it is not as delicious as the one made by a little cook in Feng Yong's house.

After Hu stuffed several plates of jelly, the grilled mutton skewers were served.

The mutton was sizzling, the mutton fat was dripping onto the tray, and the meat was fragrant with a faint smell of wine, which whet your appetite.
