Before confiscating the house and going into exile, he emptied the enemy's warehouses and fled.

Chapter 71 Who is Mr. Chu?

Chu Xiwang looks good, speaks in a calm manner, and his image and demeanor are far better than those of ordinary wealthy young men.

Although he spoke softly, Xie Yanyan could tell that he had a very cold temperament.

There are too many stories behind such people, so it’s best not to deal with them too much.

The exile team rushed on the road every day, completely out of touch with the outside world, knowing nothing, and their eyesight was completely dark.

"The prince has returned to Beijing safely."

"Prince Xi went to Wanling City to declare vassal status. Concubine Guigui knelt for three days and nights to no avail."

"The imperial court implemented the curved shaft plow in official fields, and the effect was excellent."

"There was a severe drought this year and there was a locust plague in Xirong. Looking at the movements of the locusts, they were heading towards Daqin. Officials in the northwest are trying to dig ditches to divert water to drown the locusts, but there is already a shortage of water."

When he told the information, many prisoners came over and listened attentively.

They all came from Kyoto and were previously in high positions. For several months, they were almost isolated from the world and the court. This was more painful for them than starvation.

Even though I know that the world's affairs have nothing to do with me, I still like to listen.

Xie Yanyan had never seen a natural disaster like the locust plague in his previous life.

In the 22nd century, science and technology are highly developed. It can be said that no other creature can compete with humans except humans themselves.

"Are there many locusts?"

"Blocking the sky and the sun! The insect swarm is about 200 miles long, 80 miles wide, and travels 300 miles a day. When the locusts pass through, no vegetation or crops are spared. There can be more than 30 locusts on a single grain seedling."

It’s just about biting people!

Chu Xiwang said this information without any emotion on his face. Qingshan stood aside and said nothing, listening quietly.

At present, there is no way to control the locust plague. Trees and seedlings cannot cover it up, and the tiny locusts cannot use swords, guns, swords and halberds. They are helpless.

"The Xirong government mobilized all the people and soldiers to fight, but to no avail."

"The insect swarm is less than 1000 miles away from Chang'an."

Once Chang'an passes, the Central Plains will not be protected. This year will be a truly extreme disaster year.

Chu Xiwang talked to Xie Anfeng for a while, and it was getting dark.

Qingshan said: "Second Master, it's getting late, shall we go back? General Xie also needs to rest."

Chu Xiwang stood up and said goodbye, leaving a lot of money, dried fruits, bacon, and bacon for easy preservation, and left.

Xie Yanyan didn't give it away either, but after they left, she went to look at the two carriages at her house, and sure enough, the things had been turned over.

Especially her package, the other person was probably rummaging through it in a hurry, and one of the few glass marbles given to the little bun to play with fell out.

Chu Xiwang said he came to visit her and thank her, but actually he came to find something?
So the last time the thief was recruited in the inn, he was also one of them?

But from the beginning to the end, she only saw Chu Xi looking at the three masters and servants, and all three of them were under her nose.

She stood silently, thinking about Chu Xiwang.

He is only in his 20s, certainly not 30.

Sihai Pavilion belongs to him.

The Cross Gate is his.

Doctor Huang called him master.

Now people keep coming to look through her luggage. What are they looking for? These people are all his, right?
Chu Xiwang, who is he?

If I can’t think of it, I won’t think about it.

The watermelon was big and very filling when eaten. After peeing a few times, the stomach was empty. Xie Yanyan thought it would be better to get some food to satisfy his hunger.

It's too hot and I don't want to eat hot food.

"Brother, let's make a bowl of cold noodles?" Xie Yanyan said, "It's too hot to eat."

The original cook of Wuyi Hou Mansion made "Leng Tao" in the summer, which is to soak the cooked noodles in cold water and then serve them with some side dishes. It is a good way to relieve the heat in summer.

Xie Ning heard that his sister wanted to eat cold noodles, so he thought of a way to make it.

It's just that there is no well here in the mountain temple. It takes a long way to get water from the mountain spring. It is very dangerous to go around in the dark.

Xie Anfeng said: "Yan'er, let's not eat today. It's not convenient to get water."

"There was water in my car," Xie Yanyan said, "I turned it into ice."

Her words attracted Li Rong and others: "Miss Third, do you know how to make ice?" "Yes." No explanation.

"Sister, it's hot, don't do anything. Just tell me what to do and I'll do it." Song Linngling is the eldest sister-in-law. How can she ask her sister-in-law to serve a large family all the time.

"Stop arguing, I'll do it." Xie Ning rolled up his sleeves and called Xie Yong to cook the pot, and he went to the stove to stir-fry.

Jiang Shuang: "I'll do it."

Xie Yanyan: "Go ahead and cook some noodles!"

Xie Ning took out a large bag of fresh noodles and some beans from her carriage without anyone seeing it.

Xie Yanyan carried a basket and placed several bowls on the stone platform.

She beat 8 eggs, and she quickly cut 6 tomatoes, a rare thing, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Take another handful of beans and cut them into cubes. Take out half a bowl of minced meat, marinate it well, and stir-fry the diced beans with the minced meat.

Jiang Shuang cooked a large pot of noodles in the pot and asked Xie Yanyan: "Where did you buy the noodles? The noodles are quite fresh."

"Yes, I bought it."

Of course I bought it.

"What is that red and round thing you cut? Is it a small watermelon?" Jiang Shuang asked, pointing to the tomatoes.

"Yeah." Seeing that she still wanted to ask, Xie Yanyan interrupted her, "Watch the noodles in the pot and don't overflow."

The noodles are fresh noodles from the supermarket, not dried noodles. She can say that she bought them in the town. As for why they are kept so well, does she care?
After the noodles are cooked, rinse them twice with mineral water, and Xie Yanyan directly adds the edible ice cubes in the space.

Take out a bottle of sesame paste and chopped peanuts from the space, then take out two cucumbers and a carrot, wash and shred them.

Then add the fried diced beans and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Finally, add vinegar and minced garlic, and delicious cold noodles are ready.

Xie Yanyan stood aside and directed, while Xie Ning did the cooking. When the whole family ate, too much noodles and stirring could dislocate her wrists.

"Which of you wants to eat spicy food? Just scoop out the beef sauce yourself. Ah Sheng and I won't add any more. We get too hot in the summer, so we want it to be lighter."

She first took a bowl and handed it to Song Lingling, then gave herself and Xie Yusheng a bowl each and started eating.

Song Linngling felt greedy and said, "Sister, please add some beef sauce for me. I'm greedy for the beef sauce you made."

Xie Yanyan handed it to her.

Jiang Shuang said: "Spicy girl, your first baby should be a girl."

Song Linngling didn't feel bad. She touched her belly and said happily: "My daughter is good, she is considerate."

Jiang Shuang glanced at Xie Yanyan, said nothing, picked up a bowl of cold noodles, and ate it silently. Is your daughter considerate?
Xie Lingyu ate the noodles with big mouthfuls and said excitedly: "Sister, the cold noodles you make are so delicious. I have never eaten such delicious cold noodles."

The cold noodles made by my sister are made with fresh ingredients and full of flavor. The cold noodles are tough and fragrant, and the mouthful of sour and salty juice makes people want to stop eating.

Xie Yanyan said in his heart, it's not that I cook delicious food, but that the ingredients are good and the seasonings are sufficient. It turns out that the Houfu kitchen doesn't treat us as human beings.

Xie Lingyu ate two bowls of cold noodles in the evening. Xie Anfeng, Xie Ning, and Xie Yong all added a spoonful of beef chili sauce to the noodles. Each of them drank three large bowls without leaving a drop of soup.

Xie Anfeng smacked his lips and said, "The cold noodles made by Yan'er are excellent."

"My sister is the lucky star of the family."

At night, everyone looked at the stars in the sky, listened to the chirping of unknown insects in the mountains, and slept on the ground.

Xie Yanyan and Xiao Baozi slept in the carriage.

"Asheng, can aunt tell you a story?"

"Okay, okay, what story will aunt tell me?"

"Alibaba and the Forty Thieves."
