Nightwatcher Chapter 179: Xu Erlang: I have no family


   Considering the problem of oil fume, the stove on the official ship is located on the upper deck of the cabin to facilitate the emission of oil fume. The walls and floor of the stove are painted with fire-resistant red paint. The main material of this paint is a resin called "Insectivorous Tree", which can prevent fire.

   Therefore, this kind of tree is widely promoted and planted by the Ministry of Industry and is widely used in the construction field.

  In the stove room, several men are preparing lunch, sweating all over the winter. A large pot of fish soup is stewed in the pot, and the steam "gugu" is on the lid, and the rich fragrance is permeated.

   Xu Qi'an sniffed the scent and came to the stove, opened the pot on his own, and asked: "Is the fish soup ready?"

   "It's ready soon!"

  The guys were surprised that an adult personally entered the misty stove.

   Xu Qi'an stared at the light brown fish soup, which was the reason for adding soy sauce. He sniffed the aroma and said, "Give me the spoon."

   A man obediently handed over the spoon, Xu Qian scooped up some soup, tasted it, and said in surprise: "The smell of soil is very weak."

   Limited by seasonings and cooking skills, most of the river fish in this world have an earthy smell that cannot be removed. Of course, except for the best restaurants, such as Guiyue Lou, where the chefs are superb.

   The man said proudly: "My lord, those of us who float on the water usually eat fish. When it comes to eating fish, no one knows better than us in the world. How to get rid of the smell of soil, hehe. .. We have a secret method."

  He still hides his own private, deliberately not to say.

   Xu Qi'an "heh" said: "The official also has a secret recipe, which can increase the umami taste of this pot of fish soup by several percent."

  The guy didn't believe it, but he didn't refute it because he didn't dare. However, the disapproval in his eyes was not concealed.

   Xu Qi'an took the opportunity to take out the porcelain bottle containing chicken essence.

  "Big, my lord..."

  The men were shocked. They have served on the official ship for many years and have received many officials. Naturally sensitive in food.

   If the officials on the ship died of poisoning, they had to be buried with them.

   "What are you afraid of, you can try a poison later," Xu Qi'an comforted.

   The guys were not comforted at all, but were more worried.

   Xu Qi'an first poured a little into the pot, took a sip and tasted it. If it felt not enough, add a little more and taste again. After several times, he nodded in satisfaction.

   "Come on, taste it!" He took a small spoonful of fish soup and handed it to the man who spoke.

   Xu Qian's taste just now gave him courage, the man hesitated, took a sip from the spoon, and his eyes widened in an instant.

  The fragrant fish soup soaks the taste buds, "Guru..." with the uncontrolled rolling of the Adam's apple, pouring into the abdomen.

   There is a long fragrance between the lips and teeth.

  "Too, it's so delicious..." The man became excited, "My lord, what kind of secret recipe is this? What a magical secret recipe is this, please teach me."

   Xu Qi'an: "Haha."

  .....

   Governor Zhang sat on the collapse, holding his forehead, and enduring the shaking of the ship during the voyage. After taking the pills given by the white warlock, he felt much better.

  The entourage brought hot tea and said: "Master, after the boundary of the capital, the wind on the river will be less, and then you will not have a headache."

   Governor Zhang nodded, took a sip of tea.

   "It's time for lunch, and the younger one will fetch it for you." Followed.

   "No need." Governor Zhang waved his hand, pinching his eyebrows: "My head is dizzy and I have no appetite..."

  His voice fell, his nose twitched: "What smell?"

  In the open window, Jiang Feng pounced in with a fresh scent, motivating Governor Zhang's greedy insects, making him accelerate his saliva secretion.

   "Guru..." The entourage swallowed, his eyes drifting outside the house frequently, his mind was not here anymore.

   Governor Zhang pondered for a moment: "Finally, even if I don’t have an appetite, I can’t compete with my body, so I’ll help me get some food...Well, although the fish soup smells unbearable, the official can’t carry it. Share the joys and sorrows with all the soldiers."

   The entourage responded happily, and trot out of the room, saying that the adult is worthy of a scholar, and shameless words are so beautiful.

   Xu Qi'an and his colleagues are sitting in the spacious hall, eating and eating, bragging and spanking.

  "This fish soup is absolutely amazing. I have never had such a strong soup in my life."

   "Yes, even that bit of fishy smell is fragrant."

  "If I can drink this kind of fish soup every day, I would be happy to stay on the boat for the rest of my life."

   people are sweating profusely and enjoying the surprising fish soup.

   Jiang Luzhong occupies a table alone, closing his eyes, reminiscent of the unforgettable fragrance in his tongue. He called to the clerk and curiously said: "This fish soup tastes extraordinary. The officer has never had it before. How did you do it?"

   should have a secret recipe... Jiang Lu Center thought.

   He is not a secret recipe for greedy people, he is purely curious, wanting to know how this amazing fish soup is made.

  The guy immediately looked at Xu Qi'an: "It's the secret recipe of the adult, it has nothing to do with the villain."

   A crowd of watchmen suddenly came over.

   "Look at what I am doing. This is a secret recipe made by Sitian Supervisor. I don't have much by myself." Xu Qi'an said immediately.

   He knows that these unscrupulous players, especially Jiang Luzhong, will definitely change their way to beg like him.

   Everyone turned their heads and looked at the three white warlocks in the corner. The young white warlock said: "Look at what we do, the secret recipe of Sitianjian was taught by Mr. Xu."

  Ma De, these warlocks are pure-hearted, right?...Xu Qi'an is slanderous.

   At this time, a group of armored guards came in from the hatch. They sniffed the scent of fish soup while silently receiving their own simple meals.

   This time I went to Yunzhou, with 20 bronze gongs, six silver gongs, one golden gong, three long-term attendants of Governor Zhang, and 100 Hu Benwei accompanied.

   plus Governor Zhang, there are a total of 131 people.

   These tigers and guards live in a small and dark cabin, and the food they eat is not better. The fish soup is naturally not theirs.

  The thin guys twitched their noses silently, swallowed quietly, and looked at the fish soup longingly.

   Xu Qi'an thought for a while and called to the man: "Is there any fish in the boat? If not, go to the net and cook a pot of fish soup for the soldiers. Everyone can drink it."

   said, he handed the porcelain bottle to the man: "If it is not enough, please ask me for it."

  The eyes of the tigers and guards lit up, unconsciously straightened their waists, and said in unison: "Thank you Lord."

  I always have a soft heart, and my heart is too soft, so I take care of all the problems by myself....Xu Qi'an nodded: "My name is Xu."

   "Thank you Lord Xu."

  At this time, Governor Zhang’s long follower walked in and said loudly: "Is there any fish soup? My adults still want to drink it."

   Everyone laughed, and the cabin was filled with cheerful air.

  .....

   Beijing, before dusk.

  Xu Xinnian returned to the capital. He was going home to pick up some change of clothes, rice noodles and silver tassels.

  Students studying at Yunlu Academy are required to pay a bundle of repairs every three months. At the same time, the rice noodles come with them.

   So Xu Erlang will go home regularly, take the dirty clothes that don’t have time to wash home, and throw them home to the subordinates. By the way, he will bring a full three months of money and food.

   "Call..."

   He reined in the horse outside Xu Mansion, and was surprised to find that the door was locked.

   This is not a trivial matter. There are people in the house. Even if the owner is not at home and thanking guests behind closed doors, the door is locked from the inside. A padlock outside often means that there is no one in the house.

   Xu Erlang's heart sank and he had a bad feeling.

  He turned over and got off his horse, came to the wall, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "Flying over the wall!"

   After reading, he took a few steps back silently, feeling the surging power filling his limbs, sprinting to help, jumped over the three-meter-high wall, and landed safely.

  The house is quiet, there is no one.

   Xu Xinnian walked from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard, and opened the doors one by one, the sister's, the parents', and the servant's...no one.

  The most important thing is that everything in the house has been evacuated, leaving only the empty bed in the room, but no quilt.

   Where is my home? What about a home my size...oh, it's still there, but where is my family? Xu Erlang stood in the yard blankly, thinking about his life.

  "The door was just locked and there was no seal, indicating that it was not the elder brother who committed the crime again....The things in the house were evacuated, but the floor was not dusted, and the cleaning was very clean, indicating that it was not looted. ..."

   Xu Erlang relied on Juren’s wisdom to deduce the result: They moved.

  Why didn’t I notice when I moved? Did they forget that there is another Erlang in Yunlu Academy? Xu Xinnian wanted to swear.

  Oops... Then, his face changed, he quickly added a layer of buff to himself, stepped out of the fence, mounted a horse, and planned to leave the capital before the city gate was closed.

   At this time, there was a faint drum sound from far away. This was the drum sound before the city gate closed.

  ......

  New house.

   Xu Ershu is going to be late today, and he will go out after dinner.

Aunt    looked at her husband and wondered: "It stands to reason that Erlang should almost be back. He didn't bring much money with him last time."

  The mother-in-law naturally cares about his son and always estimates the time for his son to return home.

  "Probably only these few days." Xu Ershu said indifferently.

   "Da Lang... did you write to him?" Aunt asked.

   "I don't know."

   "I don't know what it means?" Auntie raised her eyebrows.

   "I didn't ask either." Xu Ershu replied. After eating the last meal, he hung his saber on his back and put on his helmet:

   "I'm out, watching the ringing tone at night, don't let her go to the well again. Also, don't be suspicious all day, the house is not haunted."

   After that, Ershu Xu went out.

   That night, he led a team of sword guards patrolling the outer city. When passing by the ancestral house, he found a figure squatting at the gate of the mansion, holding his knees, his face buried in his arms, shaking in the cold wind.

   There is a horse next to him, sniffing listlessly, and planing hoofs.

   There is no curfew in the outer city. People can travel without restrictions, but Yudaowei has the right to conduct random checks and questioning. When he saw someone squatting in front of his house, his second uncle immediately greeted him.

   was about to ask, the light of the torch illuminating the man's Confucian shirt, suddenly felt familiar.

   Xu Ershu was taken aback, and said that he would not...

   "Jiro?" He said uncertainly.

   The Confucian scholar raised his head slowly, handsome and haggard, and it was Xu Erlang.

   The father and son looked at each other in silence for a long time, and Xu Ershu's scalp numb: "Why not go to the inn?"

   Xu Ningyan, who suffered a thousand swords, really didn't write to his brother.

   "There is no money left."

   "Why don't you rest in the house?"

  "Horses will be stolen~IndoMTL.com~Why not go back to the college?"

   "The city gate is closed."

  "...The family moved to the inner city, I forgot to tell you. Well, the inner city curfew, I will take you to the inn for my father."

   Xu Erlang slowly turned away, his voice was hollow: "This adult, there is no family here."

   Second Uncle Xu: "..."

  .....

   In the night, a lone moon hangs high.

   There are limited rooms in the official ship. Xu Qi'an does not receive a separate room for a gong. He sleeps in the same room with Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao.

   is the kind of row of beds.

   He turned to look to the left, Song Tingfeng facing him. Looking at the right, Zhu Guangxiao faces him.

   Xu Qian suddenly remembered a joke: If you sleep between a man and a woman, would you turn your **** towards the man or the woman?

  Ass facing a woman would be considered gay, and facing a man would risk being gangbanged. In my case, I chose to lie down and sleep... Xu Qi'an was vomiting, and the door rang.

   Outside the door came the voice of Governor Zhang's entourage: "Master Xu, my master would like to please."
