Volume 1 The Milk Tiger Roars Valley, and the Beasts Are Terrified! Chapter 52: You Poisoned Your Eggs
Liu Ling didn't tell a lie, he was really afraid. There are many secrets in this world that cannot be known to others, and some secrets are hidden in the stomachs of some people until they die. And even if you do everything possible to prevent others from knowing, the more others will know the secret.
He wasn't afraid that Tang Ning would know this secret, because with Tang Ning's master, who was almost like an immortal that he boasted about, nothing would be surprising. Even if Tang Ning flew to the sky one day and said to himself that in fact, he was a god who came down to assist the official family to accomplish great things, he would not be too surprised, and would even applaud his hands.
What he was afraid of was that someone in the Wu De Division had leaked this secret.
Although this secret is not a big secret, especially now that the official family has reached a deal with the party members, that is, they will exchange the four villages of rice fat, Jialu, Anjiang, and Futu for the Song soldiers captured in the battle of Yongle City - there is no need to keep this secret.
But now, the matter of Jing Siyi's envoy to the enemy camp is still non-public, and few people know about it. In addition to the official family, it is only known to the group of people who are qualified to consult the archives in the Wu De Division.
There are not many such people, but there are a lot of things in the stomach. There are many things, and a single word can cause an uproar. Therefore, Liu Ling was afraid that someone in the Wude Division was not strict in his mouth, so he told the matter. Being able to say one thing can say a lot of things, and attention to detail has always been a virtue emphasized by Takeus.
"I'm begging you, just tell me where you got this from......"
Killing Tang Ning is certainly a hundred methods, but Liu Ling is reluctant to do so.
In the court of the Great Song Dynasty, there are still too few wolf-like characters, more sheep and pigs, which Liu Ling has to admit. Now that it's hard to see a wild wolf, how can Liu Ling not be happy. Even he felt that the task of Nanshanzhai was nothing compared to Tang Ning.
If such a person can be used by the official family, whether it is in charge of the army or politics, as long as he is given enough time to grow, he will definitely become a figure who will go down in history.
So Liu Ling was reluctant to kill Tang Ning, he wanted to dedicate this guy to his emperor in its entirety.
Tang Ning saw through this, so he was very arrogant in front of Liu Ling, and even instructed Liu Ling to do something. He knew that as long as he didn't touch the bottom line and had no intention of overthrowing the imperial court, Liu Ling would not embarrass himself.
"Well, in that case, then I will tell you the truth. Six years ago, my master took me to Qinfeng Road, when I was young, I couldn't remember many things, but I remembered this incident. My master treated a blind veteran, and he looked horrible, and his face was covered with scars, and I was so frightened that I cried.
He didn't leave that night, my master also chatted with him, he talked a lot with my master, I eavesdropped on the side, only to hear that he was Xu Xi's personal guard, and he was going to find a kind of revenge. I only found out about it during the conversation. I guess I said a lot of things after that, but I was so sleepy that I fell asleep. ”
Tang Ning is worthy of being a salesman, his face is not red and his heart is not beating when he talks nonsense, and he doesn't even blink his eyes. Liu Linghu looked at Tang Ning suspiciously for a while, and felt that what Tang Ning said was not impossible.
Yongle City failed to rescue the defender Xu Xi due to personal grudges, resulting in Xu Xi's death, and Yongle City was defeated in the first battle, which is something that everyone knows. And it is cunning and arrogant, and it will be retribution, and it is cruel by nature. Emperor Shenzong was worried that after punishing him, this guy would do something crazy under the tense situation with Western Xia at that time, so he put this matter aside, and appointed him as the governor of Yanzhou.
Therefore, if Xu Xi's personal soldiers are lucky enough to survive, it is not unimaginable to avenge the old master in despair. It's just that there is still a doubt in one place, that is, how Tang Ning's master hooked up with Xu Xi's personal guard. If it was just a simple doctor-patient relationship, presumably the pro-soldier would not be stupid enough to reveal his identity and purpose.
Just as he was about to ask, he saw Tang Ning blinking at him with those big innocent eyes, and sighed in his heart.
Also, ask this guy, and this guy will only say that he doesn't know. First, six years ago, this guy might have been a stinky boy running around with a bare ass, and second, even if he knew, he wouldn't tell himself too much, this kid is a thief.
Glancing at Tang Ning, Liu Ling sighed: "I believe it." ”
After saying that, he went back to the high bed and lay down without saying a word.
Tang Ning lied a lot today, especially to Liu Ling. This guy treats himself well on weekdays, and he will think about bringing him a copy of anything delicious, and he will help him solve a lot of troubles, so Tang Ning felt a little guilty about Liu Ling at this time, so he was ready to make something delicious as an apology.
Eggs are a very rare thing, even the number of them on Nanshanzhai is not much, let alone this winter.
However, Tang Ning has more than 20 pieces, which were sent by Zhao Rentuo a few days ago, saying that he was grateful to Tang Ning for helping Ma Ping treat his injury. It's hard to refuse this reason, so Tang Ning reluctantly accepted it.
After thinking about it for a while, Tang Ning gritted his teeth and took out five, ready to fry poached eggs for Liu Ling to eat. This practice was not common in the Great Song Dynasty, and although the common cooking methods of the later generations were fried and stir-fried, they only spread to the north and south of the Great River in the Southern Song Dynasty. During the Northern Song Dynasty, most people still used steaming and boiling as the main cooking methods.
The smell of mutton fat is very strong and mushy, ghee (butter) is generally transported by ship, not Nanshan thieves can rob it, Downing can't get soybean oil, there is no soybean oil in this era, Downing is not very clear, so he can only use mutton fat to fry poached eggs, but whether the fried poached eggs have a smell, Tangning is not sure.
It's strange that Liu Ling walked out of his decadent state just by smelling it. As soon as Tang Ning inadvertently turned around, he found Liu Ling standing beside him and watching him fry poached eggs with great interest.
"You're frying eggs?"
"This is called frying, although it is the same frying as sencha, but this frying is not the other frying. The tea is steamed with water, and I steam it with oil. ”
"Cut, isn't it just fried, I really don't know it."
Tang Ning smiled and put the fried poached eggs into the bowl and handed it to Liu Lingdao: "Frying is boiled in oil, which is different from mine, you will know it when you taste it." ”
Liu Ling suspiciously picked up the poached egg with chopsticks, took a small bite of the crispy egg white, and immediately stared at it.
"Isn't this just a bomb! The fried stuff is very crispy, you and I haven't eaten it! But your fried egg, it's the first time I've eaten it, and it's quite delicious, but it's not suitable for mutton fat, if you use sesame oil (sesame oil) or ghee, it must be a different flavor. Liu Ling gave his own opinion like a food judge: "Anyway, you also learned your kung fu from your master?" ”
Tang Ning glanced at Liu Ling, who was eating sweetly, and then at the four eggs he hadn't fried yet, and put the eggs back in the basket, he suddenly regretted making this meal for this idiot who didn't know how to taste delicious food and picked and chose to be smart.
"It's fried, not fried. There is no sesame oil, only mutton fat. I learned it from my master, and I learned a lot, but you won't have a chance to eat it again in the future. Tang Ning sneered and gave a concise answer.
Liu Ling was eating happily, a poached egg was stuffed into his mouth, and he was stunned when he heard Tang Ning's last words. Looking down at the half poached egg on his chopsticks, his eyes widened, and he said vaguely with a mouth stuffed with food: "You poisoned?" ”
"......" Tang Ning really didn't know what to say, opened his mouth, and closed it again.
Liu Ling stuffed the remaining half of the poached egg into his mouth and chewed it, then grabbed Tang Ning's shoulder and shook it vigorously, shouting angrily while shaking: "What about the antidote!" Give me the antidote! Give me the antidote! ”
The poached eggs that he chewed squirted out a lot of foam from his mouth, and Tang Ning was disgusted, so he pushed this guy away with all his strength, and scolded: "You are insane! I have nothing to do with poisoning you! Besides, you said it was poisonous, and you stuffed the remaining half in your mouth...... Look at it, you look at it, you still swallow it, aren't you looking for death yourself? What antidote to me! ”
"Because it's so delicious...... Liu Ling scratched his head and said in a low voice: "Since you didn't poison it, then why did you say that I won't have a chance to eat it again in the future." ”
Tang Ning sat back behind his small table and picked up the book, snorted and said, "Because I don't plan to cook for you anymore, Master, you eat like Zhu Bajie eats ginseng fruit, even if it is rare and delicious, you can't eat it." ”
"Who is Zhu Bajie? What is ginseng fruit? ”
