Chapter 375 Long Xiang donates meat to Zhang Wenyuan

"Kill the pig?" Xu Chu looked puzzled.

Long Xiang nodded seriously: "Yes, I will use pork to defeat the enemy."

"What do you mean?" Xu Chu was even more confused.

Long Xiang smiled slightly: "You just have to arrange it. Clean it and bring half of it to the tower. I will treat everyone to roast pork later."

"That's good, I'll do it right away."

Xu Chu clasped his fists and strode away. Long Xiang had invented noodles, glutinous rice balls and other ways to eat in the past few years, and was considered a gourmet expert in Hefei.

I don’t eat meat very often these days, and I mostly cook it with soup. Xu Chu has never eaten roast pork, so he is looking forward to the new way of eating it.

As soon as Xu Chu left, Long Xiang also followed him downstairs.

He was going to the foundry to find a craftsman. He would first build a metal frame for the barbecue and have someone prepare the wood for the fire.

After two hours of preparation, it happened to be noon.

Xu Chu and several tiger guards divided the meat together. According to Long Xiang's requirements and demonstration, they cut the meat into small pieces suitable for barbecue, put some salt on it for simple seasoning, and then skewered it with bamboo skewers for later use.

It happened to be a cloudy day at that time, and although the climate was sultry, there was no direct sunlight, otherwise Long Xiang would not have lit a fire to 'mutilate himself'.

Long Xiang observed through the telescope in the morning and found that the soldiers in Cao's camp only had a bowl of gruel, so he came up with this food method to defeat the enemy.

There was a fire and smoke on the tower, which alerted the sentry at Cao Ying not far away.

After receiving the information, Cao Xiu rushed into the tent and found that Cao Cao and several counselors were taking a nap. They were discussing how to defeat the Hefei Horns, but they were inexplicably trapped and fell aside.

Cao Cao woke up first from a light sleep, and Guo Jia and others were also woken up by Cao Xiu one after another.

After listening to Cao Xiu's report, Cao Cao stood up with a look of joy on his face, looked at everyone and joked: "Zihe persuaded me to withdraw my troops in the morning, isn't this opportunity just waiting for me? It's midsummer at this time, how to deal with the fire at the top of Hefei City

Being unkind is our chance to break the city."

Cao Xiu reminded in a low voice: "I don't think the fire is too big."

"It's hard to see clearly from a distance. Let Zhang Wenyuan take people to verify it at a closer place and order each battalion to prepare for battle. If there is an opportunity, don't let it go." Cao Cao frowned and shook his head.

"only."

Seeing Cao Xiu striding out of the tent, Cao Cao stroked his beard and said to himself:

"Hmph, God has always favored Cao. If Long Xiang goes against me, how can he get any good fruit? He deserves it."

Zhang Liao was ordered to go to Hefei for reconnaissance, and then stationed his horse by the moat and raised his head.

I saw a dozen strong, muscular men in the city, talking and laughing around each other.

The person Long Xiang was waiting for was Zhang Liao. He pushed through the crowd and came to the front. He also had an upper body, but his figure was slightly narrower than that of Xu Chu next to him.

"General Zhang, are you here again?"

Hearing Long Xiang's 'warm greeting', Zhang Liao pointed at him and asked curiously: "General Long, what's going on? Are you putting out the fire? I saw a fire here in the camp, and I came over to take a look because I was worried.

"

"How could General Zhang be so enthusiastic?"

Long Xiang asked meaningfully: "I wonder if you miss Hefei or someone Long?"

Zhang Liao responded awkwardly: "I miss General Long."

Long Xiang glanced at Xu Chu, and then gave Zhang Liao a thumbs up: "Based on General Zhang's words, you will be indispensable for a while."

"Meat? What kind of meat?" Zhang Liao was confused.

Long Xiang walked back, held a bunch of meat in his hand, and explained with a smile: "We are roasting pork, and you will be able to smell the aroma of the meat later. The fire and smoke you see are actually caused by us on purpose. Today

It happens that there is no scorching sun, so it’s worth celebrating.”

Zhang Liao was stunned, and after a while he pointed at Long Xiang and asked:

"Yesterday you said there was no food in the city, but today you are grilling meat at the top of the city."

Long Xiang scratched his head and asked with an innocent face: "Grain is grain, meat is meat. There is meat in the city but no grain. Am I right? We only eat meat every day, and we are also very miserable."

This may belong to early Versailles, a hundred years earlier than Sima Zhong who said "why not eat minced meat".

Zhang Liao almost spit out blood. He couldn't find any loopholes in Long Xiang's answer, not even a reason to refute it.

At that moment, Zhang Liao really regretted it.

Why did I meet this person in Xuzhou? Otherwise, the lord would not have sent me to suffer.

He couldn't talk and couldn't get into Hefei. When Zhang Liao was thinking about how to answer the call, suddenly a breeze carried the smell of meat.

I couldn't help but lick my tongue, thinking back to the bowl of porridge in the morning that I wasn't really hungry.

When Zhang Liao came to his senses, he found that Long Xiang and Xu Chu were sitting opposite each other. The high-top table was placed close to the city wall, just enough to be seen by the people in the city.

After a while, the first batch of meat was roasted.

The two tiger guards brought the barbecue to the table, and Long Xiang asked them to grill it while eating.

Xu Chu couldn't wait and took a bite, oil dripping from the corners of his mouth.

Long Xiang also followed suit and bit into the meat. The condiments on the meat were not as rich as those of later generations, but the ingredients were obviously greener and more natural. When chewed, there was plenty of juice in his mouth, which greatly satisfied his stomach.

"Zhongkang, how do you like this barbecue?"

"Ah? It smells so good."

Xu Chu is strong and eats a lot. Long Xiang specially used the thick cutting method today, which can barely meet the speed of Hu Chi.

Long Xiang nodded with satisfaction: "Fill up the wine for me. The weather is nice today. It's time to eat meat and drink heavily."

"well."

Xu Chu responded without stopping, chewing in his mouth.

Long Xiang was eating meat and drinking wine in the city. Zhang Liaoqian was drooling as he looked at it. He thought to himself, Long Yunqi, are you so polite? Have you forgotten what you just said?

"General, the situation has been found out, how about we leave?"

After being reminded by the soldiers, Zhang Liao came to his senses and looked at the people in the city fiercely.

If you continue to do evil like this, once the city of Hefei is defeated, the lord will have to beat the shit out of you.

"Let's go."

Zhang Liao shouted softly and ordered his followers to turn around and leave, but was unexpectedly stopped by Long Xiang.

"General Zhang, don't leave."

Zhang Liao looked back and shouted angrily: "Long Yunqi, what else do you want to do?"

"General Zhang, don't be angry. I baked something good for you, but it needs to be baked for a little longer. It won't taste good if it's not cooked yet." After Long Xiang explained, he turned around and asked, "Are the pig's trotters ready?"

"It's almost there."

Long Xiang got the answer, waved and said: "General Zhang, wait a moment."

Zhang Liao suddenly fell into a dilemma, should he wait or not?

Keep waiting for fear of being teased by Long Xiang;

No wait, the barbecue smell is too tempting.

"It's baked, General Zhang will take it."

As soon as Long Xiang finished speaking, he saw Xu Chu holding an object and throwing it down, and finally it fell on the ground near Zhang Liao.

The guard picked up the thing wrapped in lotus leaves and handed it to Zhang Liao. When he opened it, he saw that it was indeed a freshly roasted pig's trotters.

Zhang Liao held the hot pig's trotter in his hands and thought that it was only such a short piece, and the dozens of personal guards who followed him would not be enough.

It's even more inappropriate to eat alone. I thought, Long Xiang, are you going to give me a problem?

After much thought, Zhang Liao felt that it was not suitable for anyone to eat, so he decided to offer it to Cao Cao.

"Thank you, General Long, for the meat. I'll take my leave now."

Watching Zhang Liao Juechen go away, Xu Chu asked with a shiny face: "That hoof looks very big, but in fact it is all bones in the middle. I'm afraid Zhang Liao won't be able to chew it enough."

Long Xiang smiled mysteriously: "Haha, this is the effect I want."
