Chapter 158 Returning to Beijing to wait for the accident (1)

Gao Shixin decided to go back to the capital first. He was reluctant to plant the new crops he brought back from Fujian after finally making it back, because Wanli was about to die in more than a month. It is unknown whether the old bear could still stay in Liaodong after the death of Wanli. If the old bear was forced to leave Liaodong, can the land in Liaodong north of Guangning be protected? If the Liaodong cannot be defended, all these crops will be in vain and cheap for the Later Jin Dynasty.

With the old bear's bear temper, Wanli is gone, and most of them are impeached and left Liaodong, and the situation worsens.

In this regard, Gao Shixin had made the worst plan. He was not a civil servant and could not control the situation in Liaodong. As long as Lao Xiong was impeached and left Liaodong, the newly-established Liaodong ruler Yuan Yingtai replaced Xiong Tingbi. This person was a member of the Donglin Party and was an incompetent person. Once he arrived in Liaodong, he not only destroyed Xiong Tingbi's strategic plan, but also lost both Chenyang and Liaoyang cities. Although Yuan Yingtai committed suicide, he died in his country, but this kind of person was similar to Shi Kefa, He Tengjiao, and he was not good at defeating things.

Can Gao Shixin and Zhang Yong, nine thousand years later and little carpenters save Lao Xiong? It feels very lingering. In less than a month under Emperor Taichang, the power of the Donglin Party was developed to the peak of its height, and the Tianqi was defeated by the Donglin Party. If Zhang Yong could not make any bigger moves, it would be the same as in history. It would take four years before the eunuch party could eradicate the Donglin Party.

Gao Shixin left Xiong Tingbi temporarily and led the newly joined Cai Jiuyi, Wu Liuqi and others to return to the capital with new crops.

"Brother Gao is back!" The villagers rushed to tell the news from the Left Guard Military House in Tongzhou.

At the gate of the military office, Gao Shixin, wearing a wingless black gauze hat, a big red flying fish suit, and an embroidered spring sword, rode a tall horse, and more than a dozen Jinyiweisers wearing sharp-top, wide-brimmed iron helmets and iron armor, appeared at the gate. Behind him, a large group of auxiliary soldiers driving a large cart, and the chariot was full of goods.

"Friends, I'll treat you today, and I'll treat you to eat!" Gao Shixin shouted in his voice, "Please treat you to a few good things you have never eaten before!"

"That's great! The guy is here to bring us food!" People cheered.

Back then, the military households lived at the bottom of society, and even had a full meal was a luxury on weekdays. Now, someone brought them delicious food, so they were naturally happy.

Gao Shixin asked someone to unload half of the cargo from the car and put it on the ground.

The villagers, who were surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, saw a mouthful of sacks on the ground, didn't know what was inside. Gao Shixin opened one of the sacks, and a lot of things that were covered with mud on the outside were rolled out inside, and they didn't know what was inside.

Then the second sack was opened, and things as big as small beads and sticky to mud came out.

The third sack was opened, and long and round objects rolled out. I don’t know what the fruit was, but it looked like enlarged grain ears.

Eight auxiliary soldiers carried two large fat pigs from the last big cart, and the other auxiliary soldiers built sheds in the military office and built stoves.

Some of the things in the first sack were buried in the mound of soil, and then firewood was lit; the other part was washed, peeled, cut into small pieces, and placed in a wooden basin. After the things in the second sack were cleaned, partly placed under the stove, and the other part was peeled and put into the wooden basin. The wooden basin was filled with clear water, soaking such items in it.

The grain in the third sack was also divided into two batches, one was buried in the fire to be cooked, and the other part was peeled, washed, and then cut into pieces and placed on the stove to wait.

The two pigs were killed by auxiliary soldiers, and they divided the pig's internal organs, legs, ribs, tenderloin, pig's big bones, and ribs into equal parts.

Gao Shixin asked someone to take out the rice, pour it into the pot, then put the small red pieces in the wooden basin into the country, and began to stew the rice. The pork was thrown into a large pot, and boiled boiling water was burned in the pot. First remove the floating foam on the pork soup, and then simmer on low heat.

Not long after, the air was filled with the aroma of stewed meat and the aroma of braised rice.

"It smells so good!"

"I can't eat such good things during the Chinese New Year!"

The hungry people could not help but swallowed their saliva. This was Brother Gao's treat, and he would let go of his stomach and eat well.

But at this time, let’s have something to cushion your belly first.

A pile of bonfires were extinguished, and the piles of soil were opened. From them, objects that looked dark were taken out. I saw Gao Shixin pick up something, put it in his hand and pat it, and then break it apart. Suddenly, the air was filled with the fragrance of roasted sweet potatoes. Gao Shixin finished the thing in a few bites.

"Friends, come and try this, this is roasted sweet potatoes." Gao Shixin shouted in his voice.

People gathered up and competed for the roasted sweet potatoes that had just been pulled out of the fire. Some adults with children grabbed the sweet potatoes and handed them to the children first.

“It’s delicious!”

"It's so sweet!"

"What a good thing!"

An old man finished eating a sweet potato and asked, "Brother Gao, where did this thing come from?"

"I took out some of the things I brought back from Fujian today for the villagers to eat, and the others were kept for seeds. This thing grows very fast. If you plant it now, you can harvest it before winter, and the yield per mu is extremely high. In addition to roasting, simmering it in rice and stewing it into sweet potato rice, or making sweet potato porridge with rice, it can also be used to make powder. I will teach you that with this thing, the villagers will not go hungry." Gao Shixin said with a smile.

The pot of broth was picked up, and the pork inside was separated, and the big bones were left in the country. The auxiliary soldiers put the things cut into pieces into the pot, and then placed the pot on the stove to continue to boiling; the things roasted in the stove were pulled out, and after the objects as big as beads were cut out, several Jinyiwei and auxiliary soldiers peeled the skin of the thing, and there were crystal clear beads in the inside. Several Jinyiwei and auxiliary soldiers ate these things one by one.

The villagers came up, picked up those things, peeled them like Jinyiwei, and put them in their mouths. They only felt that this thing had a special delicacy. Although it was not as sweet as sweet potatoes, it was very fragrant and delicious in their mouths.

The thing that looked like a magnified ear was also roasted, extinguished the fire, peeled it from the bottom, held it in your hand, held it in your hand, there were golden particles on it, and took it a bite, and the particles fell into your mouth. When you bite it gently, you just felt a refreshing feeling. The particles were crispy, soft, fragrant and tender, and the aftertaste left in your mouth was sweet and delicious.

The braised pork stewed in the big pot was almost ready. The auxiliary soldiers poured the pots of round bead-shaped objects into the braised pork pot. It was strange that this kind of thing became particularly fragrant when put together with the meat.

Beef stewed with potatoes is Khrushchev's communist life; although the taste is not as good as beef, the taste is also very delicious. Potatoes and meat are much more delicious than simple meat and simple potatoes.

The rice was ready and the soup was ready. The auxiliary soldiers walked into the shed with large pots of dishes.

There are dozens of tables placed in the shed, which were temporarily placed by the villagers from their homes. The tables are filled with large pots of dishes such as pork belly, corn bone soup, pork stewed cabbage, potato stewed pork ribs, etc. The braised sweet potato rice is placed in a wooden rice bucket and can be eaten with the villagers.

"It smells so good!"

"It's delicious, I can't eat that good thing during the Chinese New Year."
