Chapter 179 Xu Erlang: I have no family

Considering the oil smoke problem, the stove of the official boat is located on the upper floor of the cabin to facilitate the oil smoke to escape.

The walls and floors of the kitchen are painted with fire-proof red paint. The main material of this paint is a resin called insectivorous tree, which can protect you from water and fire.

Therefore, this kind of tree was widely promoted and planted by the Ministry of Industry and Technology and widely used in the construction field.

In the kitchen, several kids were preparing for lunch and were sweating all over in the middle of winter.There was a large pot of fish soup stewed in the pot, and the steam was covered with a strong fragrance.

Xu Qi'an smelled the fragrance and came to the kitchen. He opened the pot on his own and asked: Is the fish soup ready?

It's ready soon!

The chefs were surprised that an adult actually entered the smoky kitchen himself.

Xu Qi'an stared at the slightly light brown fish soup. This was the reason why soy sauce was added. He sniffed the aroma and said: Give me the spoon.

A chef obediently handed the spoon, Xu Qi'an scooped some soup, tasted it, and said in surprise: The smell of earth is very light.

Due to its seasonings and cooking skills, most of the river fish in this world have an earthy smell that cannot be removed.Of course, except for the best restaurants, such as Guiyuelou, where the chefs are of excellent quality.

Upon hearing this, the chef said proudly: Sir, we who float on the water usually eat fish. If we say we eat fish, there is nothing in the world that we know better than us.How to get rid of the earthy smell? Hehe... we have a secret method.

He also kept his own private affairs and did not say it intentionally.

Xu Qi'an shouted: This official also has a secret recipe that can increase the umami flavor of this pot of fish soup by several%.

The guy didn't believe it, but he didn't refute it because he didn't dare.But the disapproval in his eyes is not concealed.

Xu Qi'an took out the porcelain bottle containing chicken essence.

Large, adults...

Several chefs were shocked. They served in the official ship for many years and received many officials.Naturally sensitive to food.

If the officials on the ship die of poisoning, they will have to be buried with them.

What are you afraid of? You can try poison later.Xu Qian comforted.

The chefs were not comforted at all, but were even more worried.

Xu Qi'an first poured a little into the pot and took a sip to taste the taste. He added a little more if it didn't feel enough. After tasting it a few times, he nodded with satisfaction.

Come and try it!He scooped a small spoonful of fish soup and handed it to the talker.

Xu Qi'an's taste just now gave him courage. The guy hesitated for a moment, took the spoon and took a sip. In an instant, he widened his eyes.

Fresh and fragrant fish soup soaks the taste buds, Gulu... As the Adam's apple rolls uncontrollably, it pours into the abdomen.

The fragrance lingers between the lips and teeth.

So, so delicious... The guy was excited. Sir, what secret recipe is this? What a magical secret recipe. Please teach me.

Xu Qi'an: Haha.

……

Governor Zhang sat on the collapse, holding his forehead, enduring the shaking of the ship during the sailing. After taking the pills given by the white-clothed warlock, he felt much more comfortable.

The follower brought hot tea and said: Master, after passing through the capital, the wind on the river will be smaller, so you won’t have a headache at that time.

Governor Zhang nodded, took the tea and took a sip.

It's time to have lunch, so I'll help you pick it up.Following the way.

Need not.Governor Zhang waved his hand and pinched his eyebrows: This official's head was dizzy and had no appetite...

As soon as he finished speaking, his nose twitched: What does it smell?

In the open window, the Jiang Feng rushed in with a fresh fragrance, which attracted Governor Zhang's greed and made his saliva secrete faster.

Gulu... The follower swallowed his saliva, his eyes drifted out of the house frequently, and his mind was no longer here.

Governor Zhang pondered for a moment: Well, even if you don’t have an appetite, you can’t compete with your body, so you can help me get some food... Well, although the fish soup is unbearable, I can’t hold it, and I have to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers.

The follower responded happily and trotted out of the room, thinking that he was worthy of being a scholar, and his shameless words were so beautiful.

Xu Qi'an and his colleagues sat in the spacious hall, eating while eating, bragging and fucking.

This fish soup is simply amazing. I have never drunk such a strong soup in my life.

It's Ah, even that little fishy smell is fragrant.

If I could drink such fish soup every day, I would be happy to stay on the boat all my life.

People were sweating profusely and enjoyed the surprising fish soup.

Jiang Luzhong occupied a table alone, closed his eyes and savored the unforgettable fresh fragrance between his tongue.

He called out to the chef and said curiously: This fish soup tastes extraordinary and I have never tasted it before. How did you make it?

There should be a secret recipe... Jiang Lu Center thought.

He is not a secret recipe for greed. He is purely curious and wants to know how this amazing fish soup is made.

The chef immediately looked at Xu Qi'an: It's the secret recipe of that adult, it has nothing to do with the villain.

The crowd of people immediately watched.

It depends on what I do. This is the secret recipe of Sitianjian, and I don’t even have much of it myself.Xu Qi'an said immediately.

He knew that this group of people who were not honest, especially Jiang Luzhong, would definitely try to ask for something like him.

Everyone immediately turned their heads and looked at the three white-clothed sorcerers in the corner. The young white-clothed sorcerers said: Let’s see what we do. The secret recipe of Si Tianjian was taught by Mr. Xu.

Ma De, these warlocks are purely quarrels, right... Xu Qi'an complained in his heart.

At this time, a group of armored guards came in from the cabin door. They sniffed the scent of fish soup while silently receiving their own simple meals.

This time I went to Yunzhou, there were 20 Tongluo, 6 Silverluo, one Jinluo, three Governor Zhang's chief followers, and one hundred Hu Benwei accompanied him.

In addition to Governor Zhang, there were a total of 131 people.

These Hu Benwei live in the narrow and dark bilge, and the food they eat is not better, so naturally the fish soup is not as good as theirs.

The lean men twitched their noses silently, swallowed their saliva quietly, and looked at the fish soup eagerly.

Xu Qi'an thought for a while and called out to the chef: Are there any fish in the boat?If not, go to the Internet and cook a pot of fish soup for the soldiers, so that everyone can drink it.

As he said that, he handed the porcelain bottle to his husband: If it is not enough, come to me for it.

The eyes of the Hu Ben Guards lit up, unconsciously straightened their backs and said in unison: Mr. Xie.

I am always too soft-hearted and too soft-hearted, and I will handle all the problems myself... Xu Qi'an nodded: My surname is Xu.

Thank you, Mr. Xu.

At this time, Governor Zhang's elders followed him in and said aloud: Is there any fish soup? My adults still want to drink it.

Everyone laughed, the cabin was filled with joyful air.

……

Capital, before dusk.

Xu Xinnian returned to the capital, and he was going home to get some clothes for changing, rice, flour and silver.

Students studying in Yunlu Academy have to pay a round of training every three months. At the same time, they bring their own rice and flour, and the college will not include food.

So Xu Erlang would go home regularly, take the dirty clothes that he had no time to wash and throw them home to his servants, and bring enough money and food for three months.

Wow...

He held the reins outside the Xu Mansion and was surprised to find that the door was locked.

This is not a trivial matter. The mansion keeps servants. Even if the master is not at home and is closed to thank the guests, the door is locked from the inside. The padlock outside often means that there is no one in the mansion.

Xu Erlang felt a slump and had a bad premonition.

He turned over and dismounted, came to the wall, took a deep breath, and said loudly: Flying on the eaves and walking on the wall!

After reading, he took a few steps silently, feeling the surging power filled his limbs, and he ran to the sprint, jumped over the three-meter-high wall and landed steadily.

The mansion was quiet and there was no one.

Xu Xinnian walked from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard and pushed open the doors, including the younger sister, parents, servant... they were empty.

The most important thing is that everything in the mansion has been emptied, leaving only empty beds in the room, but no quilts.

Where is my home?It's such a big home... Oh, it's still there, but where did my family go?Xu Erlang stood in the yard in a daze, thinking about life.

The door was just locked and there was no seal attached, which means it was not that my elder brother had committed a crime again... The things at home were emptied, but the ground was not ashes and it was cleaned very clean, which means it was not that I had been robbed...

With the wisdom of the juren, Xu Erlang derived the result: they moved.

Why no one informed me of moving?Have they forgotten that there is another Erlang in Yunlu Academy?Xu Xinnian was so angry that she wanted to curse.

Oops... Then, his face changed, he quickly added a layer of buff to himself, climbed out the wall, rode his horse, and planned to leave the capital before the city gate was closed.

At this time, a faint drum sound came from a distance, which was the drum sound before the city gate was closed.

……

New home.

Uncle Xu Er has to pay night today and has to go out after dinner.

The aunt looked at her husband and said in confusion: Logically, Erlang should come back, and he didn't bring much money and food last time.

When a mother is naturally concerned about her son, she always estimates the time for her son to return home.

It's probably just a few days.Uncle Xu said without caring.

Dalang...has he written to him?asked my aunt.

have no idea.

Don't know what it means?Aunt raised her eyebrows.

I didn't ask Ah either.Uncle Xu Er replied that after his last bite of rice, he hung his sword on his back and put on a helmet:

I'm out and watching the bell tonight, don't let her go to the well again.In addition, don’t be suspicious all day long, and the house will not be haunted.

After saying that, Uncle Xu went out.

That night, he led a team of Imperial Sword Guards patrolling the outer city. When he passed by his ancestral home, he found a figure squatting at the door of the mansion, holding his knees, burying his face in his arms, trembling in the cold wind.

There was also a horse around me, sniffing and sniffing listlessly.

There is no curfew in the outer city, and people can travel without restrictions, but the Imperial Sword Guard has the right to randomly check and ask questions. Seeing someone squatting at his doorstep, the second uncle immediately brought someone to greet him.

Just as he was about to ask, the light of the torch illuminated the man's Confucian shirt, he suddenly felt familiar.

Uncle Xu was stunned and thought not to...

Erlang?He spoke with some uncertainty.

The student in the Confucian shirt slowly raised his head, looking handsome and haggard. It was Xu Erlang.

The father and son looked at each other silently for a long time, and Uncle Xu's scalp was numb: Why not go to the inn?

Xu Ningyan, who was killed by a thousand swords, really didn't write a letter to his younger brother.

No more money.

Why not rest in the mansion?

Horses will be stolen.

Why not go back to the academy?

The city gate is closed.

... My family moved to the inner city and forgot to tell you.Well, there is a curfew in the inner city, and I will take you to the inn for my father.

Xu Erlang slowly turned his face and his voice was empty: This adult, there is no family.

Uncle Xu Er: ...

……

At night, the lonely moon hangs high.

The official boat room is limited, Xu Qi'an has no treatment for a Tongluo in his room, and he slept in the same room as Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao.

It's the kind of bed in a row.

He turned his head to look at the left, and Song Tingfeng faced him.Looking at the right, Zhu Guangxiao faced him.

Xu Qi'an suddenly remembered a joke: If you sleep between a man and a woman, would you turn your butt towards a man or a woman?

If the butt is facing the woman, it will be considered Gay, and if the man is facing the man, there is a risk of being forced. In my case, I chose to lie down and sleep... Xu Qi'an complained in his heart, and the door knocked.

The voice of Governor Zhang's entourage came from outside the door: Lord Xu, my master is invited.
