Chapter 452 Zhang Fei: I Invented the Flat Noodles? [Seeking Monthly Votes]

"Don't worry, sir. I will definitely get to the bottom of the case and give an explanation to all the officials!"

Xuanzan bowed respectfully, with excitement on his face.

As a general with strong martial arts skills, Xuanzan was recruited by the county king as a county horse and married Bai Fumei. Instead of reaching the peak of his life, he slipped into the abyss.

The root cause is that he looks ugly.

The eight characters in the original work, "face like the bottom of a pot, nostrils turned to the sky", portray Xuan Zan's image so vividly that after they got married happily, the princess died in depression and was so ugly by his appearance.

From then on, Xuanzan, who could have taken off with the help of the prince's power, became a character that his grandma did not care for and his uncle did not love. He became a defense officer in the Infantry Department of the Privy Council and killed the princess because of his ugliness. , and got the nickname "Ugly County Horse".

Now, the Xixia envoy caused a scandal, and Cai Jing urgently needed someone to deal with it, and then he thought of this ugly horse.

Praising the sworn guarantee, the deputy privy envoy waved his hands repeatedly:

"Xuanzan, why aren't you clear-headed? The prime minister asked you to investigate the case to get to the bottom of the case? It was to take out the responsibility of the Xixia envoy! If you want to really investigate the case, which one is better than the Ministry of Punishment, Marble, or Yushitai? Are you strong? Remember, no matter what, take responsibility for the Xixia envoy."

Upon hearing this, a flash of disappointment flashed across Xuanzan's face:

"Sir, the Xixia envoy has done such a disastrous thing. Now it is just right to kill it to make a warning to others and to enhance the prestige of our country. Why do you still need to pick it out?"

"Who knows the Prime Minister's plan? Hurry and handle this matter without delay!"

After Xuan Zan accepted the order and left, the Deputy Privy Envoy asked Cai Jing to return his order:

"Prime Minister, can Xuanzan really take on this important task?"

Cai Jing was practicing calligraphy. Hearing this, he said with a smile:

"Whether we can or not, we can move forward and retreat freely... If Xuanzan does things well, let's take advantage of him being left out in the past few years to attack the royal family's power; if it doesn't go well, let's help the prince get rid of this problem. Disaster; if hundreds of officials have a disagreement, they can be killed just in time to quell public anger..."

Cai Jing finished speaking leisurely, put away his brush, and asked with a smile:

"How's my handwriting?"

The privy deputy came over and read:

"The long clouds in Qinghai darken the snow-capped mountains, and the lonely city looks into the distance at Yumen Pass. The yellow sand wears golden armor in a hundred battles, and the Loulan will never be returned until it is broken... Good words. If Wang Longbiao knew that his poems were written so mysteriously by the prime minister, he would definitely smile!"

"It's just random graffiti. I can't afford such ridiculous praise."

Cai Jing put the words away with a smile and prepared to frame them and give them away.

On the other side, in the Xixia Post House, as soon as Xuanzan took over the place, Shi Qian used a braised chicken head to quietly abduct the golden poodle.

"Dye your hair this color. Your master obviously doesn't like dogs. You'd better hang out with me from now on. I'll steal chicken heads to feed you."

Shi Qian took the dog and found an inn with hot water for bathing. He gave it a bath first, washed away the gold powder all over its body, and then wrapped it in cotton cloth and wiped it dry.

In order to change the image, Shi Qian also put a small knot on the dog's head, making it look lively and well-behaved.

After finishing these tasks, he took him to Fengming Restaurant and happened to meet Shi Jin and Lehe who were returning from giving gifts:

"Why did you two good brothers come back so early?"

Shi Jin took the prepared gifts back and muttered:

"Hundreds of officials had diarrhea in the court hall, and many people stopped seeing guests... When you were old, you brought great disgrace to the Song Dynasty, so you were not afraid of being wanted by the whole country?"

"They should take back the whole country first before bringing up this issue."

Shi Qian carried the dog to the backyard of Fengming Restaurant, made some chicken heads for the little guy to taste, and then talked about the news he had just heard while hiding in Xixia Inn:

"Ma Xuanzan, the Choujun of the Privy Council, took over this case. According to my superficial understanding of the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, he should take the blame for this matter... Do you think we should rescue Xuanzan?"

Lehe took out his mobile phone, looked at the ranking of Liangshan's 108 heroes and said:

"Dijie Xingchou Jun Ma Xuanzan, ranked 40th, has strong martial arts, is good at using steel swords, and is proficient in bows and arrows. He has an irreversible relationship with Da Dao Guan Sheng... This is a talent. If he really takes the blame, let's save him. , maybe we can let Guan Sheng recognize his ancestor and return to his clan in advance."

Dadao Guan Sheng has a transcendent status in Liangshan. In addition to his martial arts, the most important thing is his identity as a descendant of the Guan family.

He is dressed in parrot green robes, has a face like a jujube, and holds a long knife. Except for his beard, he looks exactly like Guan Gong when he was alive.

When "Water Margin" was written, Guan Yu was already a god among the people, but no one among mortals could bear Guan Gong's loyalty and bravery, so Shi Naian split the image of Guan Yu.

As a descendant of Guan Yu, Guan Sheng inherited Guan Yu's martial arts, courage and strategy, while Zhu Tong, the beautiful beard of Tianmanxing, inherited Guan Yu's loyalty and virtue.

This split falls on the image and is the beard.

In addition to being slightly shorter in height, Guan Sheng's appearance and appearance are exactly the same as those described by Guan Yu. Only his beard has become a "thin three-willow mustache". Lao Guan's original "two feet long beard" has grown into a beautiful beard. Under Zhu Tong's jaw.

As for Guan Sheng's martial arts skills, it goes without saying. He is recognized as the best among the Five Tigers, especially the sword-drag tactic that he is famous for. Coupled with Guan Sheng's explosive power at every turn, he is simply invincible.

The book does not describe in detail how Guan Sheng's divine power broke out, nor does it describe the process in detail, but overall it seems that this kind of divine power seems to be possessed by Guan Yu.

I wonder if going back to fight Guan Yu will invalidate Guan Sheng's divine power.

After all, it is somewhat funny to summon the ancestors to possess you in front of them.

In the real world, Li Yu called Zhou Ruotong to ask about Mu Guiying's household registration.

"The household registration book has been processed, and the ID card is also being processed... Are you in a hurry? If you are in a hurry, I will ask someone to send it to the B&B first."

"No hurry, I just want to ask... Where are you now?"

Zhou Ruotong's voice was comfortable:

"Walking by the Erhai Lake, taking a look at the popular attractions here, and then leaving for Beihai, chartering a boat to Weizhou Island, so that Xiaochan can feel the vastness of the sea."

Li Yu was moved:

"I have to go there if I have a chance... By the way, my wife, Zhao Yun may be here soon. He wants to keep Zhao Feng's family in the real world. Is there a problem with the household registration?"

Zhao Yun's brother is named Zhao Feng, who is in his thirties this year.

If he settles in the real world, Li Yu plans to let Zhao Feng manage the scrapyard and gas station. As for Zhao Feng's children, they can go to school in the village first, and then go to the moral education school later.

As long as the three of them can adapt to the real world, they will definitely live better than the world in the book.

If Zhao Feng's martial arts are good, he can even go to the scenic spot to work part-time as an actor. When he has nothing to do, he can cosplay as Zhao Zilong of Changshan with a white horse and a silver spear. It is also very appropriate.

Zhou Ruotong said:

"When they come, I will ask someone to handle it... In the original book, Zhao Yun's brother died of illness soon. He still needs to be treated in the real world, right?"

"No, just treat him in the book later, it's simple."

In fact, it doesn't matter where Zhao Feng's illness is treated, but if the treatment can make Zhao Yun owe a favor and inspire surging fighting spirit, it would be great.

Zhao Zilong, who is always at full power, comes to the world of Water Margin and Yue Fei, and he is definitely a person who kills people and Buddhas.

Zhou Ruotong said:

"When they come, Xiaochan and I should go back. It's a good time to see Zhao Zilong of Changshan."

After hanging up the phone, Li Yu found Mu Guiying who was lighting the oven and asked:

"Your household registration book has been processed... Now if you don't go back for two days, do you still have that strong feeling of leaving?"

Mu Guiying nodded:

"Yes, I have to go back after dinner, otherwise the feeling will become stronger and stronger, and it will be very uncomfortable."

Huh?

Shouldn't you stay here if you have a household registration book?

The household registration book has been processed, but Mu Guiying still has the idea of ​​going back. Does she have to touch the household registration book in person?

Li Yu carefully recalled the process of Wu Song obtaining the household registration book. It seemed that after leaving the police station with it, something in his mind broke, and then he was completely free from the ties of the world in the book.

If Mu Guiying wants to stay here, she probably has to get the household registration book in person.

At that time, being recognized by the real world will also cut off the connection with the world in the book. If you go to Mu Ke Village again, you must come back after more than two days, otherwise you will be rejected by the world over there.

Li Yu told Dao Ge the general rules he had summarized. Dao Ge immediately ran around and then went back to the study room to sleep.

Mu Guiying looked over and said enviously:

"I really envy Dao Ge. He upgraded after sleeping. It would be so easy if I could upgrade like this."

You can be directly instilled with all kinds of knowledge by the queen. Isn't it easier than sleeping?

Li Yu envied the queen for a while, then put the charcoal in the oven, turned up the fire, and prepared to make grilled fish.

Today, the two went fishing by the river and pulled up a black fish. Li Yu cleaned it up and marinated it with onion and ginger water, intending to make it into grilled fish to try.

But since the charcoal fire was lit, the meat skewers had to be brought along.

It was a bit greasy to eat only meat skewers, so vegetables such as eggplant, peppers, and leeks had to be grilled.

In addition, we need to order some oysters and various seafood to try, and staple foods such as steamed bread and toast are also necessary.

Anyway, we got a lot of ingredients together.

When Wu Song came, he also brought a box of chicken wings. He planned to learn how to make spicy grilled wings and honey grilled wings from Li Yu, and he would make them for Hao Zhenzhen to try later.

"Brother Li, Zhenzhen has been curious about what we are doing these days. Can I briefly reveal some of the details?"

Wu Song was very entangled. Facing Hao Zhenzhen, he felt that he had met someone who could accompany him for life, but he also felt guilty for hiding his identity from his lover.

From his point of view, it is right to keep a secret, but from Hao Zhenzhen's point of view, it is also very sad that a man who has been in love for a lifetime concealed his identity for a lifetime and never opened his heart to her until his death.

Li Yu understood Wu Song's approach:

"You have to make sure that Sister Zhen will not be stimulated when she hears this, and that she can protect this secret, otherwise we will be in a passive position."

Wu Song bowed and said:

"Brother Li, don't worry, I will swear with my life that Zhenzhen will never tell anyone!"

When Li Yu was honest with Zhou Ruotong, he guessed that there would be such a day, but knowing this matter to a limited extent, Wu Song would be more calm when facing Hao Zhenzhen, and if there was something in the book world, he would not have to rack his brains to ask for leave.

In the future, if the Hanfu factory wants any new category of clothing, it will no longer have to beat around the bush, just take it directly from the book world, as much as you want.

Not long after, Yuwen Chengdu came over, and he also bought a few barrels of draft beer from the village. As soon as he put it down, he and Wu Song studied how to open it.

Li Yu grabbed a handful of skewers and grilled them on the charcoal fire, and then put the grill on the grill, and put the oysters one by one on the grill.

While he was busy, Lu Bu came to the real world and discussed with Mu Guiying about transporting food:

"Senior sister, our granary over there has been completed and we urgently need support from the world."

"We'll start after dinner."

Lu Bu built a very large granary in Huguan County and installed some solar power panels, a set of small electric mills and a large oven. He planned to grind the flour on the spot and process it into shelf-stable flatbreads for catering. Distributed to the people.

In the troubled times, Shangdang County was an area that was seriously affected by the Black Mountain bandits. What the court has to do now is to ensure that everyone does not go hungry as much as possible.

As for other aspects, forget it for now.

The food crisis will not be resolved until Shangdang County starts growing food next year.

Li Yu asked:

"Have you started attacking Changzi County?"

"Gongda will arrive the day after tomorrow. There are many families of Black Mountain bandits in Changzi County, and Zhang Yan's wife and children are also there. I have asked Zhang Xiu to lead the cavalry to patrol back and forth outside the city. A part of Tunliu's army is also stationed in Changzi County. Around the county, prepare for a general attack."

Once Changzi County is captured, the army can march eastward and capture Shexian County directly.

At that time, Zhao Yun could lead Ma Chao, Zhang Xiu, and Hao Zhao through the Hebei Plain and go straight to Changshan County to pick up his family.

If we hurry up, we might be able to cooperate with Gao Shun to take down Jingxing Pass.

The war on Shangdang's side is over, Lu Bu has arranged his work, and will go south to Hanoi County to build a signal tower and build a pontoon bridge to turn the natural chasm of the Yellow River into a smooth road.

Wu Song cannot participate in the battle in the Three Kingdoms world, but he can provide some help within his ability:

"Marquis Wen, I have ordered several carriages with shock-absorbing functions. Let Zhao Zilong take them back when the time comes, so as to save his family from traveling long distances, which are too bumpy and uncomfortable."

"Okay, thank you very much, Erlang."

Ancient horse-drawn carriages all had wooden wheels, which were then wrapped with iron hoops. The wheels had no shock absorption, and there were no spring plates, suspension and other shock-absorbing accessories.

This kind of carriage is not only uncomfortable to ride on, but also damages the road and creates deep ruts.

The so-called "turning in the opposite direction" refers to this situation. In many ancient scenic spots in the real world, such as Niangziguan and other places, deep ruts can be seen. Even if the road is paved with stones, the traces of the ruts are clearly visible. .

There are even records in ancient texts of chipping away stones to make the ruts shallower.

And Rome, which is also known as an ancient civilization, often claims that the streets have been paved with stones for thousands of years, but there is not a trace of ruts.

People have to lament that when it comes to telling lies with open eyes, Easterners are really inferior to others.

Lu Bu was eating barbecue and drank a large glass of draft beer:

"Even if we can't produce rubber later, we have to fix the shock absorption first to reduce the bumps under the car... If the scrapyard receives a similar axle, brother, please don't throw it away, we will take it and make it into a carriage."

Li Yu said:

"no problem."

When the scrap yard business develops in the future, they can even purchase some obsolete trailers to build carriages for the book world.

Of course, as the support increases day by day, the number of tractors can also be increased, especially the tractors with two-wheeled trailers. With hundreds of them, wouldn't it be possible to establish a quick reaction force in the Three Kingdoms world?

Although the speed of the tractor is a little slower, it is still much stronger than human power and animal power. The soldiers sat in the carriage, eating hot pot and singing songs while fighting the war, which is exciting just thinking about it.

After the meal, everyone was full and full, and Lu Bu and Mu Guiying began to pour food.

He had just returned to the world of the book after driving eight wheels. He immediately recovered from his drunken state, and his mother's voice rang in his mind:

"Drunk driving is prohibited from now on."

Lu Bu felt excited all over and quickly assured his master:

"Master, don't worry. Even if the Holy Son pours wine into my mouth from now on, I won't swallow it!"

Empress: "..."

You blame my son for drinking, right?

After complaining about Lu Bu, the empress continued to chat with Yun Xiao, occasionally revealing some principles that only a saint could understand, so that Yun Xiao could take some time to understand.

Water Margin talks about the world of Yue, Zhending Mansion.

After finally waiting for the holiday, Zhang Fei got busy early in his residence. He fried whole chili peppers in warm oil and then marinated them in soup.

When the soup was fragrant and spicy and looked delicious, Zhang Fei directed two cooks who were good at making noodles to start kneading the noodles.

"Don't forget what Mr. said about rubbing it three times and waking it up. This is the key to delicious food."

Chai Jin walked in wrapped in a down jacket, holding two wild game in his hand. It was not appropriate to come to Mr. Zhang's place for a dinner with empty hands.

Shi Wengong and Lu Junyi each carried a can of liquor and came to join in the fun.

Lu Zhishen led Li Zhong and Zhou Tong, carrying two braised geese. Zhang Fei lived less than 200 meters away from Fengmingxuan, but Lu Zhishen showed off three goose legs on the road.

The last goose leg, Zhou Tong, was saved after some hard talking.

Yang Zhi, who was taciturn, had already arrived at the door. Seeing that everyone was bringing food, he went to a nearby meat stall and bought a skinned fat sheep.

It is said that this is frozen sheep from the northern grasslands. It is cheap but full of flavor.

The so-called frozen sheep are sheep that freeze to death in wind and snow. In order to reduce losses, herdsmen pick them out of their snow nests and transport them to the Song Dynasty for sale, which can reduce part of the losses.

When everyone was present, Zhang Fei went to the yard and picked up a big stone that had been washed clean. He took the noodles that the two cooks had kneaded, separated them into a strip, and threw them heavily on the stone.

Sun Xin was eager to try:

"Third Master, what delicious food are you making?"

Zhang Fei introduced proudly:

"Ban Noodles! It is said that I invented it. When Cao Cao attacked Xinye, I was so anxious that I threw the noodles on the stone, and thus made Xinye Ban Noodles... Today I will let you taste the authentic Anhui Ban Noodles invented by me, Zhang Fei, which is particularly popular in Hebei!"
