Travel through space and help the prince’s husband in construction

Since the old man wants to drink, then give him these two jars of wine. In fact, there are 500 jars of wine on the carriage. But they are all sealed and it is not convenient to unload them from the carriage. So, he does not plan to tell the old man.

He took out some more side dishes from his bag, such as spicy chicken feet, braised pig's trotters, braised pig's head, ham sausage, crispy lotus root shreds, and spiced peanuts.

These snacks are a must for all members of the team. Everyone's bag is stuffed full. If they are not enough, one of the team's carriages is filled with snacks for them to take at will. These snacks are in small packages, wrapped in oil paper, which is very convenient and practical.

Di Si respectfully presented the old man with a bag of snacks and two jars of wine, and told him, "Old man, these snacks are enough for you to drink these two jars of wine. But since you are alone outside, you should drink less."

The old man laughed and said, "Boy, you are thoughtful. This wine and these snacks make me very satisfied. I am the same name as before. I am known as Hu Yidao in the world. I specialize in dealing with injustices in the world and travel around. I don't know when we will meet again after we say goodbye today. I hope we will meet again by chance. Goodbye!"

Di Si clasped his fists again and replied, "Take care, Senior Hu. If we are destined to meet again, I, the junior, will treat you to a drink. Goodbye."

The old man smiled and drank the wine. He disappeared in a flash. This person's body movements were very fast, and he must be a master of invisibility in the martial arts world.

This little episode passed in a flash. The entire convoy continued to move forward. About ten miles away, the sun was setting, and they planned to stop and rest on a hill one mile away from the road.

At the foot of the hill was a gurgling stream, which was just right for them to use for cooking, washing and watering their horses.

They often stayed here when they passed by in the past. They were familiar with the road and headed towards the flat and huge hill.

Hongdu had already walked to the front of the convoy and asked how to ensure safety while sleeping in the wilderness at night.

Di Si briefly explained Hongdu and found out that they carried a large number of talismans, including protective magic circles. He felt relieved.

Just now in a dangerous place, he saw the bodyguards fighting against the robbers. They used all kinds of expensive talismans and weapons with amazing lethality. He was very envious and very fortunate.

If they had not followed the caravan led by Di Si, they would probably have died here. Even if they hired other escorts, they would not be able to compete with these robbers who knew magic.

Hongdu immediately turned the topic to the incident of being hijacked by robbers, and expressed his sincere gratitude to Di Si and all the escorts.

Di Si told him not to worry about it. There would always be all kinds of blind robbers who wanted to hijack the passing caravans along the way.

It just so happens that their team has so many people and vehicles. In the eyes of others, they are a walking mountain of gold and silver, so it is inevitable that they will encounter robbers.

But he told Hongdu to be at ease. Even if they encountered powerful robbers, they didn't have to worry. They had a foolproof way to deal with it.

Di Si didn't continue talking here. What he didn't tell Hongdu was that at least the various spells and weapons they brought could resist for a while.

As the leader, he could light the message house during that time to send a distress message to his masters. That was Xiaoyunyan, a special spell drawn for these subordinates who could not cast spells, which could send a distress message to the master.

Xiao Yunyan, Li Mohan, and the other eight treasures can all receive the distress signal. When the blessed person burns the talisman, he reads out the name of the owner of the help and a brief distress message.

The master who received the message immediately teleported to the nearest place. There were teleportation points along the way. Even if they were dozens of miles apart, the two masters could fly and arrive in the blink of an eye.

So whenever they were in danger, their masters would come to rescue them quickly.

Before this, when they were traveling back and forth for business, they were not familiar with the routes, and they were not very clear about the bandits and various forces along the way, so the two masters’ senior brothers would escort the team all the way.

Now, they have been running these trade routes for a long time and are very experienced. They have a basic understanding of the various forces along the way and know how to deal with these emergencies, so those senior brothers no longer participate in the trade missions.

When Di Si was running this trip up the mountain, Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan asked him if he wanted to bring a few senior brothers with him to protect him along the way?

Di Si said: "This trip is a mature trade route that has been traveled many times. There are many places where you can teleport to a fixed point along the way. If there is any danger, he will ask the two masters for help.

Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan told him to be careful along the way. If he really encountered any problems, he should not hesitate to burn the talisman and send a distress message immediately.

Di Si's confident assurance made Hongdu feel relieved.

Today, faced with such a dangerous situation, the escorts did not panic, but responded calmly.

He was closely following the development of the situation at the time. He saw very clearly that if the old man had not suddenly appeared and killed all the robbers, I am afraid that these robbers would not have been able to hold out for long.

On the contrary, we were able to capture a few people alive and extract some confessions.

What Hongdu wanted to know was that these robbers seemed to be able to use magic, and he wondered if they were men sent by Jiayang.

Hongdu was wrong this time. Although most of these people were once Jiayang's subordinates, they have now left Jiayang's organization and set up their own groups.

This time they dared to rob boldly because they had never encountered the caravan of Prince Duanjing's mansion before. It was because they thought they knew magic that they dared to rob boldly.

But they never expected that they would not be able to gain the upper hand when confronting ordinary people who did not know magic.

They might have been able to survive, but unfortunately, they met Hu Yidao, who would kill any bad guy he saw. This was the retribution they deserved.

These people did not die innocently at all, because from the very beginning, they relied on cunning and robbery to rob other beginners of their spiritual energy, materials and spiritual roots to improve their own cultivation.

Although their cultivation is not high, every improvement in cultivation of these immoral people is full of blood.

Later, as low-level cultivators, they dared to join the assassin organization in Jiayang. Later, they dared to organize together to kill and rob. They were originally evil people. Therefore, the evil things they did during this period were enough for them to die several times.

Hongdu and the others followed them to the large mound. After the vehicle stopped, they untied the horses.

The groom took the horse to the lower reaches of the river to wash it, and then put the horse by the river to let it eat fresh green grass. They washed off the dust on their bodies. Then everyone lit a bonfire and prepared dinner for the evening.

The caravan brought a lot of food, including a variety of ready-to-eat dishes, which were practical enough even if they didn't go hunting. But because there were many big fish in the nearby river, the young escorts immediately went to the river to fish with spears.

They had been here many times before and knew that there were many plump shrimps in this river, so the young men used the dip net to catch a lot of shrimps.

This natural delicacy does not require excessive processing. Just use a small pot, add clean water, sprinkle some salt in it, cook the shrimps, and then you can start eating.

Remove the internal organs of the fish, scrape off the scales, evenly spread fine salt and mixed seasonings for grilling fish inside and out, marinate for a while, then place on a special grill tongs and grill over low heat.

Everyone ate the delicious boiled saltwater shrimp while watching the grilled fish being cooked and turning it over. It would be ready to eat in a few minutes.

Each of these big fish weighs more than three pounds without the internal organs, and more than two pounds when roasted. People with a small appetite can be full with just one fish and a dozen shrimps.

Hongdu had eaten grilled fish before. But except for the outer layer, which had no fishy smell, the meat inside had a fishy smell. Sometimes the heat was not controlled well, the fish inside was not cooked, and the outer layer was already burnt.

Therefore, Hongdu's memory of the taste of grilled fish was not good. But you can't be picky when traveling for business. Generally, the caravans eat dry and hard biscuits and dried meat. Now, having grilled fish to eat is a very luxurious food.

Hongdu took the lead, and the other grooms and guards also took up the grilled fish. They tried to take a bite of the grilled fish.

The roasted fish, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, gave off a delicious taste that they had never experienced before. They couldn't believe it. Was it roasted fish? It tasted so good that it almost made their tongues fall off.

They chewed and swallowed the first bite of fish quickly, then took another big bite.

Different from their previous memories, the meat inside was more tender and juicy. The delicious fish meat mixed with spices and refined salt made them feel extremely enjoyable.

Hongdu, who tasted this grilled fish for the first time, praised it loudly, saying that the fish was grilled to perfect perfection, with a crispy skin and tender and juicy inside.

I have often tasted dishes made with live fish before, but this is the best I have ever tasted. I never thought there would be so many cooking masters in Beichuan.”

The driver and the guards also praised it. One of the thin guards said: "This grilled fish is so delicious. I originally thought that I could only eat one fish. Now it seems that one fish is not enough. I think I need at least another big one."

Others also echoed the praises of the delicious grilled fish. The green shrimps were also very delicious. Some people even shouted that one was not enough and asked for at least two more.

So the young men were enjoying the delicious fish meat and planning to catch some more big fish as soon as they finished eating the fish. They also needed to catch some more prawns.

The young escorts, who were already accustomed to eating this delicious grilled fish, could understand the reactions of these people when they ate grilled fish for the first time, because they had had the same reaction before.

Hongdu said to Disi, "There are many big fish in the river where we live, and we also have spices, but no one can cook the fish without the fishy smell. Not to mention grilled fish that is as delicious as today. I have never eaten it before."

Di Si actually believed what he said, because the seasoning for this grilled fish was specially prepared by his master.

Beichuan is also a big fish producing country. Originally, the seasonings used to eat fish were very simple, so there was always a fishy smell that could not be removed.

In addition, the salt they used before was not pure enough. Even the fine salt used by wealthy families always had a bitter taste.

Therefore, when using salt as a seasoning to cook live fish, in addition to the fishy smell, there is also a bitter taste, which covers up the original freshness of the fish.

Therefore, dishes cooked with live fish are not so popular in many places.

In the big restaurants in Haribam and Beichuan, famous chefs used ginger and vinegar to remove the fishy smell when cooking live fish, so it was still edible. But there was no vegetable oil at that time, and fish was not over-fried when cooking, so there was still some fishy smell.

But as one of the main sources of food, live fish is not something that rural people would be so particular about. Fish soup is just a matter of adding salt and chopped green onions, and wild vegetables are also added to the fish soup, so it is not delicious at all. It’s just that we are used to eating pickled vegetables and grain porridge. Even if it has a fishy smell, wild vegetable fish soup is at least a delicious meat dish.

The more common cooking method for peasant women is to salt the fish and then dry it in the sun to make salted fish. Salted fish is not only easy to preserve. Soaking the salted fish in clean water can also remove some of the fishy and salty taste. Then, use a little lard to fry the salted fish on a low fire until both sides are golden brown, add some scallions, ginger and water and simmer for a while. The salted fish that is not so dry and hard can be used as a delicious dish for porridge for the whole family.

In winter, there are few vegetables, so bacon, salted fish, pickled vegetables and dried vegetables are essential foods for farmers. Bacon is also called cured meat, which is a precious food. Ordinary people can only eat it a few times a year.
