Chapter 376 Long Xiang presents meat to Zhang Wenyuan

"Killing a pig?" Xu Chu was puzzled.

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

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

Long Xiang smiled slightly: "You can arrange it, clean it and send half a fan to the gate tower. I will treat everyone to roast pork later."

"That's a good thing, the general will do it right away."

Xu Chu clasped his fists and strode away. In the past few years, Long Xiang has invented ways to eat noodles and glutinous rice balls, and he has become a gourmet expert in Hefei.

There are not many times to eat meat these days, and it is basically cooked with soup. Xu Chu has never eaten roast pork so far, so he is looking forward to the new way of eating.

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

He's going to the foundry to find a craftsman, and he'll get a metal barbeque rack out first, and have someone prepare the wood for the fire.

After preparing for two hours, the time just came to noon.

Xu Chu shared the meat with several tiger guards. According to Long Xiang's request and demonstration, they cut the meat into small pieces suitable for grilling, sprinkled some salt on it for a simple seasoning, and then skewered it with bamboo sticks for later use.

It happened to be a cloudy day at that time, although the weather was muggy but there was no direct sunlight, otherwise Long Xiang would not have set fire to 'harm himself'.

Long Xiang looked through the binoculars in the morning and found that the soldiers in Cao Yingli only had a bowl of gruel, so he came up with this method of food to defeat the enemy.

A fire was lit on the city tower, which aroused the attention of the Caoying sentry not far away.

Cao Xiu received the information and rushed into the big tent, and found that Cao Cao and several advisers were taking a nap. They were discussing how to break the trend of Hefei's horns, but they were inexplicably trapped and fell to the side.

Cao Cao was the first to wake up from a shallow sleep, and Guo Jia and others were also awakened by Cao Xiu one after another.

After listening to Cao Xiu's report, Cao Cao stood up with a face of joy, and looked at the crowd and joked: "Zihe persuaded me to withdraw my troops in the morning. Isn't this opportunity waiting for me? It is midsummer, and if the city of Hefei is on fire, how to deal with it?" Bad luck is our chance to break the city."

Cao Xiu reminded in a low voice: "It doesn't feel like the fire is too big."

"It can't be seen clearly from a distance. Let Zhang Wenyuan take people to check it nearby, and order the battalions to prepare for battle. If there is an opportunity, we can't let it go." Cao Cao frowned and shook his head.

"only."

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

"Hmph, God has always favored Cao, Long Xiang is against me, how can there be any good fruit to eat? He should"

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

I saw a dozen or so strong men with fine upper body in the city, talking and laughing together.

Long Xiang was waiting for Zhang Liao. He pushed aside the crowd and came to the front. He also had a tight upper body, but he was slightly narrower than Xu Chu next to him.

"General Zhang, are you here again?"

Hearing Long Xiang's 'warm greeting', Zhang Liao pointed to him curiously and asked: "General Long, why is this? Are you fighting the fire? I saw the fire here at the camp, so I came to see if I was worried. "

"General Zhang is so enthusiastic?"

Long Xiang asked meaningfully: "I don't know if you miss Hefei or someone Long?"

Zhang Liao responded embarrassingly: "Of course I miss General Long."

Long Xiang glanced at Xu Chu, then gave Zhang Liao a thumbs up: "Based on General Zhang's words, a piece of your flesh will be indispensable in a while."

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

Long Xiang walked back, held a bunch of meat in his hands, and explained with a smile: "We are roasting pork, and you can smell the meat later. The fire and smoke you see are actually made by us on purpose. Today It just so happened that there was no scorching sun, so it was worth celebrating."

Zhang Liao was dumbfounded, 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 roasting meat at the top of the city."

Long Xiang scratched his head, and asked innocently: "Grain is food, meat is meat. There is meat in the city but no food. Am I right? We only eat meat every day, and we are in great pain."

This may belong to early Versailles, 100 years earlier than Sima Zhong of 'Why not eat minced meat'.

Zhang Liao almost didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood. The key point was that he couldn't find a loophole in Long Xiang's answer, and he couldn't even find a reason to refute it.

At that moment, Zhang Liao really regretted it.

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

He couldn't make it to Hefei, but when Zhang Liao was thinking about how to answer the call, suddenly a breeze carried the smell of meat.

I couldn't help licking my tongue, recalling that the bowl of porridge in the morning was really not very hungry.

When Zhang Liao came back to his senses, he found that Long Xiang and Xu Chu were sitting opposite each other, and the high table was placed close to the city wall, just in time for the people in the city to see.

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

The two tiger guards brought the barbecue to the table, and Long Xiang instructed them to roast while eating.

Xu Chu couldn't wait to take a bite, and the corners of his mouth were dripping with oil.

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

"Zhongkang, how about this barbecue?"

"Ah? It smells so good."

Xu Chu has a strong body and a big appetite. Today, Long Xiang specially used the thick cutting method, which can barely meet the speed of Hu Chi's skewering.

Long Xiang nodded in satisfaction: "Fill up the wine for me, the weather is good today, it's time to eat meat and drink."

"well."

Xu Chu responded wholeheartedly, chewing non-stop.

On the city, Long Xiang ate meat and drank wine, while Zhang Liaogan on the city looked at him drooling, and thought to himself, Long Yunqi, are you so polite?Forgot what I said just now?
"General. The situation has been investigated, why don't we go?"

Zhang Liao came to his senses after being reminded by his own soldiers. He looked at the people in the city viciously.

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

"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 go."

Zhang Liao turned his head and shouted angrily: "Long Yunqi, what else do you want to do?"

"General Zhang, don't get 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." After explaining, Long Xiang turned his head and asked, "Is that pig's trotter ready?"

"Soon."

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

Zhang Liao was in a dilemma, should he wait or wait?
Continue to wait, afraid of being teased by Long Xiang;

Wait, the smell of barbecue is too attractive.

"It's ready, General Zhang will pick it up."

As soon as Long Xiang finished speaking, he saw Xu Chu throwing an object in his hand, 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, it turned out to be a freshly roasted pig's trotter.

Zhang Liao held the hot pig's trotters, thinking that there was only such a short length, and the dozens of guards who came with him were not enough.

It's even more inappropriate to eat alone, and I said to myself, Long Xiang, you are giving me a problem?

After thinking about it, Zhang Liao felt that it was not suitable for anyone to eat, so he still planned to offer it to Cao Cao.

"Thank you General Long for donating the meat, I will take my leave now."

Watching Zhang Liao go away, Xu Chu asked with a greasy face, "That hoof looks huge, but it's actually full of bones. I'm afraid Zhang Liao won't be able to eat it enough."

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