Daily life of the imperial mausoleum

"What are you going to do with that thing?" Cui Shijing glanced at the dark-faced His Majesty the Emperor, and tried not to tease him, otherwise Xia Xiaoqiao would definitely be suspicious in a fight.

"Hehe... Isn't that something that the underworld should worry about? I just help out of face..." Jiang Yuanzhen said indifferently. In fact, if Xiaobai hadn't threatened him, he wouldn't care about the life and death of the people in this world!At the beginning, he also wanted to govern a peaceful and prosperous world with full of enthusiasm, but in the end?He could see that in this world, long-term unity must be divided, and long-term division must be united. It is impossible to have long-term peace. If this is the case, why should he worry so much?Let's just wait for another hero to appear in the world to save the common people, just like he did at the beginning... Foolishly thinking that he gave everything and didn't even have a loved one in his life, so the world will be prosperous and worry-free from now on.

Now, he is not the national hero worshiped by all the people of North Vietnam, nor is he the founding emperor of North Vietnam who takes the common people as his responsibility. He is just Jiang Yuanzhen who simply wants to live for himself.

"Ahem~~ That makes sense! So be it! Those things on the left and right can't go up to the sky or into the earth. When her sins are serious, someone will come and take her in." Cui Shijing thought about it and decided to leave it alone. The devil is not a god, and he has nothing to do with the well-being of the common people in the world. After eradicating evildoers, the common people will not offer him a pig's head to burn paper money.

So, when Xiaobai came to discuss the next step with them full of expectations, he found that the two guys had already started arguing about whether to eat roast chicken or beggar chicken for dinner.

"Is eating chicken more important than saving people?!" Xiaobai went crazy.

"It's not in a hurry to save the common people. Let's discuss what to eat for dinner first. This is more urgent. Xiaobai, do you think roast chicken or beggar chicken is better?"

"Uh, it's better to beggar's chicken. Xiaoxia doesn't seem to bring tree honey. If you roast a chicken, it doesn't taste right without tree honey..." Xiaobai was stunned, only to realize that he had also been led astray. Jumping, "No! Didn't we just talk about that ghost? Don't talk about roast chicken!"

It's a pity that the ghosts and demons who have reached an agreement have already gone away. They decided that it is better to listen to the chef's advice on how to cook the chicken. After all, the chef's belly hides many new dishes that they don't know about. Woolen cloth.

Sure enough, after getting new ingredients, Xia Xiaoqiao decided to try some new dishes for everyone tonight——

"Roasted chicken with winter bamboo shoots, braised bamboo shoots in oil, the staple food is big plate chicken and belt noodles!"

Fresh winter bamboo shoots are peeled and cut into hob pieces, boiled for a while to remove the unique astringent taste of winter bamboo shoots, then heat the oil pan, pour the cut bamboo chicken into stir fry, add bean paste, green onion, garlic and pepper, and finally pour in Stir-fry the winter bamboo shoots together, add spring water and simmer.

Ever since Xia Xiaoqiao, the little imperial chef who traveled from another world, Jiang Yuanzhen has lightened up his hunting skills in order to eat better, and he is also very good at picking prey. This time he caught five bamboo forest chickens, of which There are two old hens that are very suitable for stewing soup, one big rooster that is suitable for stewing in soy sauce, and two small roosters. The meat is tender and suitable for roast chicken or beggar chicken.

Therefore, according to the different ingredients, Xia Xiaoqiao also chose two small roosters to make roasted chicken with winter bamboo shoots, and a big rooster to cook large plate chicken. One of the remaining two hens added some fresh ingredients found in the bamboo forest Mushroom stew, and he decided to save the rest to stew chicken soup at night, so that he could have delicious chicken noodle soup the next morning.

Unsurprisingly, among the meals at night, the most popular one is indeed the big plate chicken that has been sold all over the streets and alleys in the previous life. The big rooster with firm meat, plus fresh winter bamboo shoots and mushrooms, is very good even without potatoes and green peppers eat.When the meal is almost finished, pour some three-finger thick trouser belt noodles into the soup and stir evenly. The trouser belt noodles soaked in chicken soup are very delicious.At the end of the meal, not only the soup, but also all the side dishes in it were eaten up. Xia Xiaoqiao felt that if there were white steamed buns now, the three of them would have to wipe the bottom of the pot clean.

I have to say that the quality of the ingredients in this bamboo city is really good. Just now when the emperor went to catch chickens, Xia Xiaoqiao found a wild mushroom commonly known as "egg yolk mushroom" that he and his mother used to pick in the bamboo forest in his previous life. , this kind of mushroom cap is about the size of an egg when unfolded, the middle is dark brown, and the edge is light-colored like egg yolk. It is a perfect match for roasting bamboo forest chicken!

Sure enough, it is best to have a big meal when you are in a bad mood. After eating the delicious and novelty big plate chicken, Xiaobai's depressed mood improved a lot, and his brain turned. He decided, since threatening those two cold-blooded animals did not No, then he should start with Xia Xiaoqiao. He believes that Xia Xiaoqiao is such a kind and gentle person, he must not have the heart to see the suffering of the people in the world, right?

"...In short, that's how it happened. That female devil who didn't know where she came from not only brutally massacred the guarding family of Zhucheng, but also set fire to Zhucheng, killing many innocent people. It's really inhumane! Boss Xiao Xia, you must persuade you, Big Brother Yuan and Big Brother Cui, eating chicken is of course very important, but saving the people of Zhucheng is even more important! A few days later, maybe the female devil will come back again, and the whole city will be killed by then. The common people will suffer!"

After a pause, thinking of some special hobbies of Xia Xiaoqiao, Xiaobai added another sentence——

"The officials and rich people in Zhucheng said that whoever can catch or kill that female devil will be rewarded with silver as ten thousand taels of gold!"

"But, Xiaobai, what if Big Brother Yuan and Big Brother Cui can't beat that female devil?" Of course Xia Xiaoqiao was a little moved by the bounty of ten thousand taels of gold, and felt that saving the people of Zhucheng was a good thing, but, as a modern Man, I'm sorry, the first thing he thinks about is whether doing good deeds will endanger his life, whether he will be blackmailed when helping a fallen old woman up, from Xiaobai's point of view, that female devil seems to be very powerful, he can't just because of his own thoughts Just ignore the safety of Jiang Yuanzhen and Cui Shijing. After all, Jiang Yuanzhen and Cui Shijing are his friends compared to the people in Zhucheng who have never masked their faces, aren't they?

"Able to fight! How could it be impossible? You underestimated them both!" Xiaobai looked at Xia Xiaoqiao with a tangled expression, "You don't know, both of them are top experts in the world, that female devil, They are not their opponents at all!"

"Ah? But brother Cui said just now that the female devil escaped from their hands."

"Oh, you don't understand this! They... Anyway, they were careless just now. If they really want to make a move, that female devil is definitely not their opponent, I swear!" Xiao Bai almost swore to the sky in a hurry. How can a beast not beat that female ghost?It is clear that seeing the meal time is approaching, I am in a hurry to come back to eat dumplings!All right!He admitted that he really thought that if they didn't come back in time, he could eat all the dumplings by himself, but didn't he have time to eat them?And with Xia Xiaoqiao here, there will definitely be food for them.

"Okay then, but I'm just going to ask. If they don't want to, I won't force them to go." Saying this, Xia Xiaoqiao couldn't help but have a look in his eyes when he asked. Hope and pray.

It doesn't sound like a good person to slaughter a lot of gods, not to mention harming the common people. It sounds like the red-trained female devil in Jin Dashu!

Jiang Yuanzhen and Cui Shijing couldn't stand Xia Xiaoqiao's pleading eyes the most.

Xiaobai was still embellishing: "You don't need to rush to agree, Xiaoxia was worried that you would not be able to beat that female devil, and she told me just now, if you really can't beat her, forget it."

Can't beat? !

If you're a man, you can't stand others saying you can't do it, let alone in front of your sweetheart?

The two men immediately rolled up their sleeves and prepared to search for the whereabouts of the female ghost.

However, it seems that Mr. Xiaobai is the professional counterpart for the business of searching for wild ghosts.He unhurriedly took out a porcelain vase, poured out a few fiery red ants from the porcelain vase, and let these ants touch a strand of hair that seemed to be picked off a woman's head for a while, This made the ants scatter and run away.

"When did you get that female devil's hair?" Cui Shijing asked in surprise, looking at the slender but full of resentment hair.Didn't it mean that the female ghost's body had already been burned?How come there are still strands of hair?

"Hehe~~~ That female ghost's life is not good, but there is an infatuated childhood sweetheart who has been secretly growing the hair of the female ghost before she was alive. I stole one while he was not paying attention." The little white thief laughed.

At night, after Xia Xiaoqiao fell asleep, Xiaobai made a mark on him. Firstly, it was to ensure that he could not see any ghosts and other alien species. Second, he had the exclusive mark of this underworld on his body. They didn't dare to approach at will.

"Thank you." Jiang Yuanzhen said sincerely.

"Why are you being polite? Xiaoxia is also very kind to me. We are all friends, and I want to protect him." Xiaobai smiled and threw a fried soybean into his mouth. This is what Xia Xiaoqiao gave to everyone after dinner. Stir-fried, he said he could eat it if he was bored at night watch. He knew that he was not good enough, and he would definitely not be able to do work like night watch. Reserve it for the evening vigil.

Gedadou is actually fried dough about the size of soybeans that has been pulled out, mixed with flour with coarse salt, kneaded into thin strips, pulled into soybeans with hands, rolled in flour, and then placed in large It was cooked in the pot. When Xia Xiaoqiao was young, he didn't have any snacks. His grandma often made this kind of snacks for him. It was crispy, fragrant and crispy, and he was still full.He likes to carry it in his pocket when he goes to school.

At this moment, Xia Xiaoqiao fell asleep, and another layer of enchantment was added around him, so naturally he couldn't hear the voices of a few people talking. In fact, if these guys with great powers really wanted to hide it from him, there would be no enchantment It doesn't matter, you can communicate with ideas.The purpose of lowering the enchantment was to isolate the strange sounds in the bamboo forest at night so that he could sleep better.

"Okay, let's talk about it, that thing is not just as simple as a ghost, is it?"

"Oh~~ I just found out, that woman died so tragically!" Xiaobai sighed, and told the story he had heard from the ghost messenger——

It turned out that the ghost they met this time was originally the newlywed wife of the eldest son of the defense family in Zhucheng, and also the daughter-in-law of a small family in the city. The niece of Mrs. Guard hooked up together. The two coveted the generous dowry of the daughter of the family, and wanted the cousin to be the main wife, so they planned a terrible conspiracy. They decided to let the girl marry first, and when she became pregnant, When the child was about to give birth, they colluded with the midwife in the delivery room, leaving the mother to keep the child. When the time comes, with the child in hand, the biological mother's dowry will naturally be kept in the guard house according to the custom, and will be inherited by the child when the child grows up. The newborn has no mother. For the sake of the child, the family will naturally find a stepmother for the child. This kills two birds with one stone. The cousin can marry in as the main wife, and the large dowry will also be in their hands. At that time, who cares? The life or death of the child?Naturally they will have children of their own...
