The fields were filled with thick smoke, and the soldiers divided the work and cooperated. The soldiers were responsible for collecting and handing over straw to the chief of the tenth scoop who was responsible for burning the ash. The chief of the tenth scoop shoveled the burned ash and put it into bags, transported it to the front line of locusts, and handed it to others for use as arable land, or sprayed it on the river bank and waited for them to be out of place.

There are not only people in the fields, but also thousands of poultry foraging.

Thanks to their blessing, these poultry that could only eat rice bran or rotten leaves were able to let themselves go, and they rode happily in the fields with their short legs to chase their delicious food. The locusts everywhere didn't need to look for them at all. In the air, in the grass, and in the piles of wheat ears used by the soldiers as bait, they kept each of these poultry smooth and had lustrous feathers.

Later, these poultry simply stopped renting from farmers. The rich Pei Shuo waved his hand and bought healthy ones directly. It doesn’t matter whether they are thin or not. Anyway, they will be fat when they eat the local locusts, and they can kill and reward the brave soldiers.

Of course, the old hens cook soup. A thick layer of golden chicken oil is the best way to keep it warm. After nightfall, come with a bowl of chicken soup, with torn big chicken legs or chopped chicken pieces. Some chickens may be too excited and exercise very strongly, which is quite consuming. But at the same time, its taste is particularly rich and more attractive than chicken soup. Dip it in a simple ginger and scallion soy sauce, and slowly suck it with the soup. Finally, a happy sigh can be seen, and white smoke coming out of your mouth.

There are so many ways to make chickens with tender meat. Hutoujun has different styles every day. Today is a mushroom stewed chicken, tomorrow is a braised chicken with a flavor of wine and a soup wrapped in chicken, and the day after tomorrow is a roast goose with crispy skin and tender meat. If they get tired of eating the meat, they have eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, and the flavors they have, are ready to go to the next town to make roast chicken, and take them on the road.

No matter how hard or tired he was, he was cured when the meal was over, so he tried harder to kill the locusts. Under this virtuous cycle, the team led by Pei Shuo returned to the capital faster than other generals.

I am about to return to the capital, but I don’t know what the capital is now? Is A Yao okay?

Pei Shuo looked at the direction of the capital, full of thoughts.

"Young master, look over there! Those people are strange." Two personal soldiers interrupted his thoughts and looked along their fingertips. Pei Shuo easily found several people on the distant path who frequently turned around and ran in the woods.

It is worth noting that they were wearing armor, but these armors were not from some army he knew well.

Pei Shuo narrowed his eyes and said, "Let's go and take a look."

With a long sword on his waist, he bent his bow and turned over the horse. He and a few personal soldiers intercepted the group.

On the path of sheep intestine, several guards protected the people in the middle and fled south desperately.

They are nothing but Meng Qianxiu and his subordinates.

Meng Qianxiu was in the right time, place and people - there was no rain for a long time, and the harvest in various places was bleak, and even caused locust plagues. The emperor was seriously ill and had not appointed a prince to supervise the country. Pei Zhengwen, who was holding heavy troops, was criticized by the court officials to lead troops to destroy locusts. He and his group of military generals were transferred from the capital. Only the imperial guards and a few soldiers outside the city were left. Those outside the city could not step into the capital without the order of the emperor; and the Xue family who supported them behind them.

At that time, he thought that even if he had a layer of honey-coated arsenic bait, he would still take the bait. With the good teachings and the assistance of the remaining ministers of the previous dynasty, as long as he could catch them off guard, take back the country, and then sharpen his sword and slowly break it down... there were still many things to do.

Why was it broken like a mirror and a moon?

Pei Zhengwen came back too fast.

Just when they could not defeat the Forbidden City, they were indulging in the wine, sex and wealth in the capital. They were so intoxicated that they were rats who had entered the oil tank and had eaten the oil. They also sucked the mosquitoes that were full of blood and were unable to fly. They lost their vigilance when hungry and finally asked someone to catch them.

The people of the Good Dharma Teachings could not help but fight. As soon as Pei Zhengwen's soldiers arrived, they stood forward with a uniform momentum. The shield was in front of the front, and the spear was mute. The tiny cold light flashed at the blade of the gun, which scared the public of the Good Dharma Teachings who were barefoot. They bullied the weak and were afraid of the strong. They were better than theirs and had a fierce reputation. The Pei family army, who was trembling in their calves, wouldn't they dare to fight? The weapons on the other party would cut them in half!

People who are good at teaching have no morale at all. Once they meet, they are defeated and scattered into various alleys.

The private soldiers of the Xue family fought a war of attrition with the Pei family army for several days, and they also scattered into the alleys, but they were different from the mobs of the good Dharma and religion. They held the people hostage and marched towards the city gate, where Pei Zhengwen's soldiers were guarding it.

Meng Qianxiu knew from the day he fell into a disadvantage that the situation was gone. Xue Nianzhi was the bead of the previous dynasty. She had royal blood. The emperor dared not take her life now. However, like him or the Xue family, no one could escape.

He took advantage of the chaos of the war between the two sides, and was escorted by his personal soldiers to fight the bleeding road, fled south, fled to Jiangliu County, and Fuhai.

"Stop. Who are you?"

In front was Pei Shuo wearing bright light armor, and a small team of soldiers behind him, intercepting his way from afar.

...

A small world is isolated from the high wall, with bamboo shadows under the moon, faint fragrance floating, lotus pond wind blowing withered lotus, and occasionally listening to the gurgling sound of the piano.

During the short period of staying in the eldest princess's mansion, it was extremely peaceful and peaceful. The eunuchs and palace servants followed the steps and did not feel the chaos outside.

At dawn, A Yao got up and prepared the eldest princess's breakfast.

Thousands of vermicelli soup, fried dough sticks, tofu, with honey, soy sauce, seaweed, shrimp skin and other seasonings, sweet and salty choices, and the pastries include red bean cake and plum blossom cake. The highlight is the crab roe soup bun.

The skin of the meat is stewed in hen soup, and it is difficult to boil, but it can be chopped into fine pieces, and then skimmed off the foam of the chicken soup and then boiled to make it into a meat frozen one day in advance.

Knead the flour into a ball, roll the dough into a uniform thickness, and the best dough is to swell and not break. Only such dough can carry a full stream of soup. Use chopsticks to hold the wrinkles and lift it up. The soup dumplings are bulging and hanging. I vaguely see the soup shaking inside through the foreskin. I can't help but worry what to do if it suddenly breaks.

In autumn, the crabs are fat, and the crab roe crab meat of the hairy crab is removed, and the aroma is stir-fried, and the meat is mixed with frozen meat filling, wrap it in the dough, and squeeze it tightly, and put it in a steamer.

The prepared crab roe soup buns are wrinkled like chrysanthemums, shaking the soup inside tremblingly, as if it can be broken by blowing.

First open a small mouthful of chopsticks above the soup bun, and the golden crab roe soup flows. The soup is thick but not oily, and the salt added to the meat filling will better activate the freshness of the soup. Then, it is accompanied by a slightly reddish balsamic vinegar and golden shredded ginger to greatly enhance the umami flavor of the crab and reduce the greasiness of the meat filling of the whole soup bun.

"Lift gently, move slowly, open the window first, and then drink the soup..."

When A Yao presented this crab roe soup bun, she talked about how to eat it.

The eldest princess tried poking the bun skin with chopsticks.
