Strengthening starts from the county magistrate

Chapter 69 Hot Pot and Sword
The day's events passed with the noise of the land reclamation in Fengjiang City.

Even if some people are upset, on the bright side, they definitely don't dare to mess around.

For example, Liu Hao from Liuyang County, no matter how angry he is, he can only send a message to Liuyang County first, and then find someone from Yuhezong.

He didn't even have the guts to retrieve the five corpses.

It's not that he has no backbone, the main reason is that Fengjiang County is too evil, and the water is getting deeper and deeper. Even a suzerain of the Dragon Gate Realm would die if he said he would die.

If you want to say that you should never, never should, at this time, count the county magistrate surnamed Shen.

But the problem is, he really can't find a reason to be afraid.

Fengjiang is such a broken place, why can't we get through it?

...

Night fell slowly.

There was steaming heat in the government office.

Everyone in the yard looked at Shen Mu suspiciously, not knowing what he was going to do with such a big pot.

According to their previous assumptions, they wanted to eat Cao Zhengxiang's stir-fried vegetables today, to celebrate the smooth opening up of frontiers and recruiting people.

And before coming back, I specially bought a lot of good ingredients at Caishikou, which was quite rich.

It's just that after returning, Shen Mu unexpectedly said that he will prepare today's dinner, you know, this is the first time the county magistrate has cooked.

Therefore, even Cao Zhengxiang was looking forward to it.

He really wanted to see what level Shen Mu would be in cooking, but what they didn't expect was that the dinner prepared by Shen Mu was different from usual.

On the big stone table in the middle of the courtyard, there is a big pot, and under the big pot, there is a stove lit by a bronze stove.

This looks a bit like Cao Zhengxiang's usual steps of blanching wine, except that the rich soup base that has already boiled is placed on top of it now.

Cao Zhengxiang observed carefully, and then looked at some side dishes prepared by Shen Mu.

He asked, "My lord, what kind of dish are you cooking today? This old man has been in the rivers and lakes for decades, and I have never heard of it. It looks like a stew, but is there a steam stew pot that looks like a stir-fry, but it can be soup?" The bottom is so thick, as expected of an adult, I can't see through even a dish."

Cao Zhengxiang's flattery was very precise.

Shen Mu looked at the few people around, then smiled confidently, pointed to the things on the table and said, "Of course I'm going to cook something delicious today, haven't you guys heard of hot pot?"

"Hot pot?"

"I don't seem to have heard of it."

The crowd shook their heads.

Shen Mu: "There's a saying that goes like this, there's nothing that can't be solved with a hot pot meal, if there is, then it's two meals!"

"Huh? Is it real or not?" Li Tieniu looked at a table of dishes innocently.

"You will know after eating, the most delicious hot pot in the world."

Shen Mu picked up the meat next to him, put it into the pot and boiled it little by little.

Then he greeted everyone to come to the table together, almost ready to eat.

He looked at Song Yizhi in the distance, and smiled slightly: "This meal is my apprenticeship ceremony for learning swordsmanship, you might as well try it later, I'm sure it will suit your appetite!"

A gleam of light flashed in Song Yizhi's eyes.

She looked at the bean curd sticks and lettuce that were pouring into the pot, and unconsciously swallowed the fragrant saliva.

Even if Shen Mu doesn't say how delicious this hot pot is, her nose has already told her the answer.

The spicy and fragrant smell from the soup base of that pot has filled the yard.

It seemed that tomatoes were mixed in. The combination of these ingredients gave her a very special feeling.

Song Yizhi didn't speak, and sat directly beside Shen Mu, ready to move his chopsticks.

Shen Mu was excited, it seemed that he had finished the first level.

He has figured it out, as long as Song Yizhi can eat comfortably, then learning the sword will be easy.

Pointing to the dishes on the table: "Aunt Song...Master, when you eat later, dip some sesame sauce, the meat and vegetables are delicious when dipped in."

Song Yizhi nodded, stretched out his chopsticks, ate a mouthful of mutton according to Shen Mu's method, and then sank into it.

good to eat!It's really delicious!
She even thought that bringing this hot pot method back to her home battlefield should add a lot of nostalgia to those people.

"Everyone, there is a way to eat." Shen Mu suddenly said: "This shaved belly and yellow throat, there is a very interesting way to eat, watch it!"

Shen Mu picked up the chopsticks and demonstrated it himself.

He picked up a piece of hairy belly, rinsed it nine times in the soup pot, and put it into his mouth with a look of enjoyment.

He said inscrutablely: "Shabu! It tastes the best when you eat it!"

As soon as this word comes out.

Li Tieniu, as well as Gu Sanyue and Xin Fan all seemed to have suddenly realized.

Quickly followed Shen Mu and learned to eat the hairy belly in this way. The crispy feeling is very delicious and novel.

It's just that on the other side, Cao Zhengxiang and Zhao Taiji's expressions were a little strange.

They looked at Shen Mu suspiciously, always felt that he had heard of this method somewhere.

Cao Zhengxiang gave a thumbs up, and said convincingly: "Tsk tsk, see, you really deserve to be our lord, even the food is so different, the combination of eating method and life, this is the way in the world!
Paradoxical, nonchalant and repeated, like this, is the most beautiful thing in the world, really worthy of being an adult, high! "

Needless to say, Cao Zhengxiang is quite capable.

Even Shen Mu couldn't tell this flattery when he was drinking with him in the district.

Zhao Taiji looked at Cao Zhengxiang, and laughed straight away: "Master Cao, should I say it or not, I admire your understanding of the world! Don't say it, I really feel the same way, alas, remembering the glorious years in the past, I can vividly remember it, let's go One!"

As he spoke, Zhao Taiji was impassioned, picked up the wine bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.

"..."

Shenmu ate the fish balls in his mouth, listening to the conversation between the two speechless.

To be honest, as a man, if you can't even hear what these connotative dialogues are talking about, then your life is really in vain.

However, he also admired these two people for being able to communicate in secret without any margins.

Logically speaking, Li Tieniu's kung fu over there is not bad, but how could he hide it so deeply without saying a word?

Maybe this is the honest man.

at this time,

Li Tieniu ignored their speech at all, and kept stuffing meat into his mouth, not forgetting to pinch Gu Sanyue and Xin Fan fiercely.

In his opinion, the method of "nine shallows and one deep" is completely done by bored scholars.

Eat when the food is cooked, why pay attention to such red tape?
Besides, he is a happy person, and so is his wife Li Erniang, who dislikes the feeling of hesitation and haggling.

Who engages in those who do not have.

...

The hot pot was eaten until very late, and everyone left reluctantly.

Because it is really delicious.

Cao Zhengxiang went to tidy up the kitchen.

In the yard, there are only Shen Mu and Song Yizhi.

Looking at the moonlight of autumn leaves, it gives people a moment of tranquility.

Suddenly Song Yizhi opened his mouth and said:
"Everyone has a sword, but everyone's sword is also different, with different shapes, different abilities, and different sword skills and sword hearts."

"The only thing that can be the same by coincidence is only the number. Some people only have the natal sword, some may have two, and some people may even have three. So, before that, you have to think about it. How many swords are there?"

Shen Mu: "...?"

"Don't worry, think slowly."

"it is good."
