Fantasia: The blind man at the beginning starts with playing the erhu

Bear Valley City.

The city gate in the northwest corner was wide open, and a group of people walked slowly.

Most of them are wearing uniforms, and they should be a certain team of mercenaries.

There were as many as a hundred people in this team, some with swords, some with knives, and some with strange weapons.

Although the weapons are different, there are obvious traces of fierce battles on their bodies.

Some people dragged one arm, while others walked tremblingly with only one remaining leg, their expressions were desolate, and they stared blankly at the front of the street.

"What's going on? Why is it so miserable?"

"I guess it's a tricky idea."

"Oh, it's miserable."

"........."

Li Pingan and Lao Niu watched this scene on the street.

Mercenary regiments were rare in the Sui Dynasty, and the emperors of the unified dynasty would not allow the existence of such mercenary organizations.

After the mercenary team passed by, Li Pingan and Lao Niu ate two servings of beef soup and a few pancakes at a noodle stand on the street.

In the evening, the night of Xionggu City gradually fell.

A few stars suddenly appeared in the east, and the starlight gradually increased, and the breeze came slowly.

Under the mottled shade, there is peace.

Li Pingan and Lao Niu sat under the tree, drinking tea and blowing the evening breeze.

Most of the cities in the Sui Dynasty had a curfew system at night, except for a few.

Xiong Gucheng has no concept of curfew at all.

In this way, Li Pingan and Lao Niu don't have to stay in the hotel anymore.

So I found a secluded place, sat down under a tree, drank tea, and ate barbecue.

Li Pingan took out the flying stiff hair, fingertips, fingertips, soles, etc. that were seized last time, and arranged them one by one.

He took out various bottles and jars, checked them carefully one by one, and prepared to refine the medicine.

For the medicine this time, Li Pingan is going to refine Haoyuan medicine.

This is a medicine recorded in ancient medicine books, not developed by Li Pingan himself.

It is refined from Haoyuan ginseng, agate horn, and Qianyelu as raw materials.

This ancient book was found by Li Pingan from the Sutra Pavilion at Tongtian Peak in Shushan.

At that time, the previous leader of Tongtian Peak defected to Shushan, and the Sutra Pavilion was destroyed by him.

There are a large number of ancient books in Tongtian Peak, and the documents are buried in the sea of ​​fire.

After rescue, only a small number of incomplete ancient books survived.

The ancient book in Li Pingan's hands is a fragment, and the remaining raw materials and methods of refining medicine can only be figured out by himself.

"Moo~"

The old cow handed skewers of barbecued meat to his mouth.

Li Pingan took a bite, lowered his head and continued to study the fragments in the book.

Xiong Gucheng at night is quite lively, and there are constant sounds in the distance, but the place where Li Pingan sits is far away from the bustle

He held a cup of steaming tea in his hand, looked down at the remnants, and took a sip of tea from time to time to relieve the greasyness of the barbecue.

At the same time, the tortoise's breath work is running in the body to make the whole body comfortable and the heart calm.

The mountain wind blows the aroma of barbecue, with heat and warmth.

The grilled meat sizzled, and a drop of hot oil slowly slid down the lines of the plump meat.

The meat has been scoured by the bonfire, and the aroma is overflowing.

And because of the color enhancement of the secret sauce, it becomes more mellow and tastes more delicate.

The entrance is tender and smooth, crispy.

After a few days of driving, I was finally able to take a rest.

Blowing the mountain breeze, eating barbecue and drinking tea.

I have some things to do, but I'm not in a hurry, and I don't care if I succeed or not. It's all out of interest.

There are flowers in spring and moon in autumn, cool breeze in summer and snow in winter.

If there is nothing to worry about, it is a good time in the world.

After a while, he wiped his mouth and let out a long breath.

Seemingly very happy, he picked up the chopsticks again, picked up a piece of barbecue, and chewed slowly.

............

The sky is slightly bright, and the weather is a bit chilly.

Revitalize the Mercenary Corps.

It was another new day, and Xiaokui hung up the red lanterns.

This is the rule of the local mercenary group, whenever a mercenary group wants to enter the sunset forest.

There will always be red lanterns with big characters of "Return Safely" written in front of the door.

Naturally, I have to offer incense and worship God

Of course, hanging the red lantern is only the first step, and there will be many other ceremonial preparations.

Xiaokui clapped her hands and was about to go back.

Suddenly a voice came from behind.

"Dare to ask, is this the revitalization of the mercenary group?"

"Yes." Xiaokui nodded.

"I heard that the revitalizing mercenary group will go to the Sunset Forest in the near future. Your Excellency happens to be going to the Sunset Forest, so if you want to come with us, you should have someone to guide you."

Xiaokui turned her head and glanced at him, when a mercenary group was about to set off for Sunset Forest.

There will be news released. At that time, if there are scattered people who want to join, they can pay to go with them.

This is a well-known rule, so Xiaokui didn't feel weird about the other party's request.

What surprised him was that the other party was dressed like a teacher, no matter how you looked at it, he didn't look like a good player.

However, although Xiaokui is young, she has a lot of knowledge, so she dare not underestimate her.

"May I ask, do you have a name, sir?" Xiao Kui asked, saluting respectfully.

"It's just a traveler, what's the name...Li Ping'an."

Xiaokui searched her memory, and it seems that there is no such person in Xionggu City.

However, Xiaokui went inside to report.

The leader of revitalizing the mercenary group is a martial artist named Zhang Long. In the early years, his father made a name for himself in Xionggu City with a slasher knife.

Later, Zhang Long inherited his father's slasher, and also inherited the revitalizing mercenary group.

The revitalization of mercenaries has also reached its peak.

Hearing from Xiaokui that there were some casual people who wanted to join the team, she didn't pay too much attention to it.

Just responded casually.

"Hello, don't neglect others."

Zhang Long has a very good reputation in the Jianghu, and everyone who comes to seek refuge will be treated with delicious food and drinks. Even if he has never met, he will be given money as travel expenses before leaving.

"understood."

After a while, Li Pingan and Lao Niu walked into the Xingxing Mercenary Group.

After a while, the food will be ready.

Neither Li Pingan nor Lao Niu could name the food on the table, but it was very delicious.

Li Pingan and Lao Niu sandwiched vegetables at will and planed rice with big mouthfuls.

For the hospitable host family, this is really a worthwhile

Li Pingan couldn't help asking the servant who served the dishes.

The servant introduced to him: "This is called Dengdeng meat, salted duck eggs, eggplant steamed buns..."

Li Pingan had never heard of any of them, so he asked how to make this dish,

Naturally, the servant would not know, so after eating, it was time to rest at night.

Li Pingan went to the chef with some wine and food.

After two glasses of wine, the chef told him the method one by one.

"The so-called Dengdeng meat is to cut the meat into large cubes, put them in a pot.

Then use rice wine, onion, ginger, garlic, pepper, soy sauce... to taste.

Then add Xionggu River water, the river water is one inch above the meat surface, and seal the mouth of the pot layer by layer with paper.

The bottom of the pot is paved with tiles, and when it boils, remove the fire.

Then use an oil lamp, smoke pot, and smoke all night!

That’s why it’s called Dengdeng Meat, and on the second day like this, the quality of the meat is extremely rotten and the taste is excellent...”

Early the next morning, Li Ping'an's notebook was filled with recipes for various dishes.
