Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 176 Horse Meat

Lin Wanwan was carried back and suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves.

The people from the mines came back again. The chief steward dismounted immediately. Lin Tugen hurried over and said, "Sir..."

The man frowned at them and said, "Did you really not see those 100-plus people?"

Lin Tugen's expression remained unchanged as he nodded and said, "We really didn't see them. If we saw them, we would definitely tell you."

The manager frowned and said, "I don't know where these guys are. You are quite smart."

Lin Tugen smiled slightly and said, "I still have many friends in this industry. If you need anything, I can ask my friends."

The steward nodded and said, "Okay, then help me ask!"

He took out several hundred copper coins and threw them on the ground, saying, "As long as you tell me the truth, I'll give you all this money, and I'll also give you five taels of silver."

Everyone else looked at Lin Tugen, who sighed and said, "If I knew the whereabouts of these people, I would definitely tell you."

He would never admit this, even if he was beaten to death. The manager was disappointed and shook his head, saying, "Forget it, I won't embarrass you anymore. Let's go!"

They searched for a long time, but they were the only ones nearby. They were just some refugees, powerless and helpless. He didn't think about these people at all, but just wanted to get some clues from them.

He simply jumped on his horse and rode away with hundreds of people.

The dust on the road was flying, and someone whispered, "Boss, how about we kill these people too?"

Lin Tugen shook his head and said:

"We have killed more than a hundred people before, and it would be unreasonable to kill these people again.

It might attract the attention of the government, so we'll have to work hard tonight and leave now."

"This late at night..."

"Late at night? What if these people come to their senses and want to kill us?" Lin Tugen gave the order directly.

Lin Wanwan heard the sound of gongs just as she fell asleep. She didn't expect that they would be in a hurry so late.

Master Bai looked at them and said, "Little Carpenter, please prepare some more bows and crossbows just in case."

The young carpenter nodded and said, "I can make 20 crossbows a day. I've already made about 20 of them. Let's keep them with us for now."

Master Bai nodded. The mountain road was very difficult to walk on at night. The mountain wind whistled past and penetrated into the clothes, making people shiver.

The moonlight flickered among the mottled shadows of the trees, casting eerie light and shadows.

The road under your feet is bumpy and uneven, with rocks and tree roots often tripping you up. You have to be careful with every step, as you might fall if you are not careful.

Occasionally, the cry of a night owl could be heard, and the shrill sound cut through the night sky, making people's hearts shrink suddenly.

Everyone lit torches and hurried along with their heads down.

Lin Dasheng put Lin Zao Zao in a basket and carried her on his back.

Old Mrs. Lin looked at him and said, "Second brother, please walk slower. My legs hurt so much that I can't stand it!"

Lin Dasheng looked at Old Lady Lin and said, "Mom, please hold on a little longer. I'm carrying Zao Zao on my back now. There's nothing I can do!"

Old Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Dachang and said, "Boss, I can't walk anymore. Can you give me a hand?"

Lin Dachang quickly shook his head and said, "Mom! My legs haven't fully recovered yet! I really can't walk with you."

Old Mrs. Lin was in so much pain that tears came to her eyes. Sun Mei looked at Zhao Qiaoniang and said, "I'm in so much pain too! If only we had horses. Where are all the horses from the Zhao family?"

Lin Dasheng shook his head and said, "I don't know. Even if you give me the horse, I won't ride it."

Old Mrs. Lin stopped in pain, tears streaming down her face: "Old man, I really can't stand the pain anymore, wuwuwu..."

Old Man Lin glared at her and said, "You're in pain, what can I do? Can't you see I'm carrying a basket? It's full of food."

She looked at Lin Cuicui next to her. Lin Cuicui was like a quail now, doing whatever she was told to do.

There was no way. She was a servant in this family and had to do everything. Her belly was already very big and Lin Dachang had completely lost interest in her.

Recently, he felt that Sun Mei was okay again. He would spend every day around her. He looked at her and said, "Meimei, does your hand still hurt? If so, let me blow on you."

Sun Mei smiled faintly and said, "No need. How are your studies going recently?"

Lin Dachang smiled and said, "If we go to Bianjing, I want to try to see if I can pass the examination to become a scholar."

Sun Mei's eyes were full of stars. Lin Dachang was a student. If he really passed the examination and became a scholar, their family would be different.

Sun Mei nodded and said softly, "When we rest, we'll eat horse meat."

Lin Dachang swallowed and said, "Save them all for you and the children. Lin Ze and Lin Han have lost weight recently."

No one knows Sun Mei’s weakness better than Lin Dachang. Isn’t it just two children?

As long as he is nice to Lin Ze and Lin Han, Sun Mei will be happy.

Sure enough, Sun Mei smiled and said, "These two children have indeed lost weight. Let them eat their fill later."

The paths along the way were all small, some of which were particularly difficult to walk on. After walking for two hours, Lin Tugen finally allowed them to rest.

Sun Mei started roasting horse meat directly. The horse meat smelled so delicious that the whole camp was filled with the smell of horse meat.

Zhao Qiao's family was no exception. Mrs. Bai washed the horse meat and then started to cook it.

Mrs. Bai first washed the fresh horse meat, cut it into pieces, and soaked it in cold water for a while to remove the blood.

Boil water in a pot, add horse meat and blanch it, then remove and drain.

Prepare spices such as onion, ginger, garlic, star anise, cinnamon, and peppercorns.

Pour a proper amount of oil into a hot pan, add wild onions and ginger and stir-fry after the oil is hot, add a little wine to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor, then pour in soy sauce for color and seasoning.

Simmer for about an hour, stirring occasionally, until the horse meat becomes soft and the soup thickens.

These seasonings were picked up last time in Baihua City.

The old Tian family was not far away, and the sight of them almost made their mouths water: "It smells so good, so good..."

Mrs. Tian grabbed his ear and said, "Hurry back! Do you think my cooking is too bad?"

Lao Tian swallowed and said, "Yes...I do despise it!"

Master Bai quickly said, "Old Tian, ​​why don't you bring the horse meat over and we'll cook it for you."

Old Tian nodded quickly and said, "Brother, you are so loyal. You saved my life! You don't even know that these women in my family are terrible at cooking."

Mrs. Tian gnashed her teeth and said, "Tian Chouwa, you are really capable."

Tian Chouwa went back and brought all the horse meat over and said, "Brother, you have to save me. This one of mine is really vicious."

Madam Tian snorted coldly and said:

"I am a rich lady, and I married you as my wife. What did you say then?

I was not allowed to do any work, so how could I have known that it would be like this now?"

Lin Wanwan nodded her head and looked at Tian Chouwa. Madam Bai chuckled and said, "Sister, how did you two get together?"
