When the beef was half-simmered, the pot had a strong aroma, which made the two bandits feel unbearable. They drooled and wandered around the stove from time to time, asking urgently: "This has been simmered for a quarter of an hour, it should be fine. Have you eaten it?"

"It's still early. It will take at least half an hour to simmer the meat before it becomes soft." Lin Dan picked up the kerchief and wiped his hands. "Can the two big brothers take me to my carriage? I want to get some spices."

The two bandits immediately became vigilant and pointed to the bottles on the stovetop and scolded, "Don't be damned, the seasoning here is everything, isn't it enough for you?"

Lin Dan didn’t panic, and warmly explained: “That’s right, my beef stew is only one kind of seasoning to be completely delicious. You two escorted me away, escorted me back, I’m a weak woman, can I still get from you? Can you run away under your hand? With this seasoning, this pot of beef stew will be several times better than it is now."

The two bandits smelled the strong fragrance in the air, and their hearts were even better than they are now. What a delicious way of that? The craftsmanship of this imperial chef is indeed no better than ordinary people. They turned to think of Lin Dan's methods of slaughtering cattle, and felt a little timid. .

Lin Dan took the initiative to take out a piece of rope and wrapped it around his wrist. The two bandits nodded reluctantly, before leaving, they locked the kitchen door to prevent the peony and cuckoo from running out. The three of them walked to the deepest part of the cottage, and went around to find a cave. The cave was covered with vines. If no one pointed, they would really ignore the past.

The two bandits slashed away the vines and sternly yelled, "Go in and find yourself, move faster!"

Lin Dan looked in through the torches of the two of them, and saw that his five carriages were parked in the cave, and dozens of large locked boxes were all stolen goods. She only took a quick glance and walked in, climbed into one of the carriages, knocked open the mud seal of a big urn, scooped a few spoonfuls of wine with a long spoon, put it into a small empty jar, and quickly covered the kraft paper on the mouth of the urn. , Tie tightly with a rope.

Although she moved extremely fast, and it took only a few breaths to seal the wine urn, the two bandits still smelled the unspeakable smell of wine, and it suddenly became a little smokey.

"What kind of wine is this, how can it be so fragrant?" The two coveted.

"It's just an ordinary drink. I brewed it myself for fun. It's not worth anything." Lin Dan looked slightly stiff and looked away.

The two bandits took a deep look at her before taking her away. After returning to the kitchen, Lin Dan poured the wine in the jar into the beef stew and stirred slowly with a spatula. The already full-bodied soup became thicker and thicker under her agitation. Each piece of beef stew was wrapped in a layer of bright and slimy juice, and a strange aroma permeated. This scent is nothing short of a sharp weapon, and it pierced the doors and windows of the kitchen and wandered over the cottage, making people fascinated.

"Hurry up, get some beef for us." The bandit who was in charge of guarding Lin Dan and others knocked on the empty bowl and urged.

"Brothers, the meat hasn't been simmered yet, so I have to wait a while." Lin Dan explained kindly.

"It doesn't matter if it is rotten or not, as long as it's cooked, you can fish it, what the hell!" The two bandits were so anxious that their eyes were red. The other bandits also ran over with the smell, and they had to taste the meat in the pot if they said anything. Fortunately, the bandit leader could survive, otherwise the kitchen would have been ransacked.

"What kind of wine did the woman put in the pot so that it can be fragrant like this?" After the bandit leader left the kitchen, he immediately grabbed his subordinates for questioning, twitching his nose from time to time, sniffing the aftertaste in the air.

"Boss, I'll take you to have a look." The two bandits said as if offering treasures: "There will be a while before we can serve the food, or how about our brothers drinking first?"

"Okay, go get the wine out." Several people carried the big urn to the main hall, pulled the kraft paper and looked inside, suddenly a little dizzy. Without him, this wine is too fragrant. If it is opened and smelled, it is stronger than a normal burning knife, and more mellow than five grains of aging, and saliva has flowed all over the floor before it has been consumed.

"Hurry up and fill it with me, hurry up!" The bandit leader yelled out a big bowl. After drinking it all, he froze for a while, then laughed and praised the good wine. The others couldn't hold back either. One person scooped a bowl of free drinks, and the strong aroma of wine filled the air, drawing more people over...

Xiaozhu and the others had originally got together to discuss how to escape and how to rescue the shopkeeper. Suddenly they smelled an indescribable smell of meat, they calmed down, and they said firmly, "The shopkeeper is making beef stew with rice wine!"

"I'm hungry!" a servant murmured, licking his lips.

The rest of you look at me, I look at you, wailing in their belly. As long as the shopkeeper cooks, people who are not hungry will immediately feel hungry. Even the man who closed his eyes and meditation opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the kitchen, his apple trembling uncontrollably.

Everyone was quiet for a while and started discussing again, but they didn't expect a domineering smell of wine to invade from all directions, making their eyes red. Caught, beaten, and imprisoned, Xiaozhu, who had never lost control of his emotions, sipped and cursed, "Mother, these thunderous beasts, how dare to drink our wine!"

The Junwei man who has remained silent suddenly asked, "What kind of wine is this?"

Little Zhu gritted his teeth and said: "There is a legend in Zhongshan County, I wonder if you have heard of it-Liu Xuanshi bought wine from Zhongshan Restaurant..."

The man was knowledgeable and immediately said, "Xuanshi is drunk, a thousand days wine?"

Little Zhu looked at him in surprise, and nodded: "Yes, this wine is the legendary Qianri Liquor. Shopkeeper Lin traveled in Zhongshan County for three years, tossing around many places, and finally restored the recipe of Qianri Liquor and made it successfully. After being buried in the ground for seven years, it was dug out only recently, ready to be sold to the capital for a good price. When the wine urn was opened, a wine worm had grown in the urn. The wine was extremely mellow and thick, although it was not intoxicating. For a thousand days, you can get drunk for three days and three nights."

"Xuanshi drunk" is an allusion that has been passed down for hundreds of years. It is said that there is a man named Di Xi in Zhongshan County who has the best winemaking skills, and a drinker named Liu Xuanshi came to buy wine. Dixie sold him a jar of wine, but forgot to tell him that the stamina of this kind of wine was so great that it must be temperate. Liu Xuanshi returned home after drinking and died of drunkenness. The family thought he was dead, so he was buried. After a thousand days, Di Xi suddenly remembered this and hurried to find out. The Liu family dug up the buried Liu Xuanshi. It happened that he had just woke up, and there was a strong smell of wine in his body. I was drunk and woke up in March.

Passed down to later generations, this kind of wine was named Qianrijiu, and it can be called the true fairy of wine.

The nose was soaked in the fragrance of wine, and the noise of the bandits punching in his ears was wrapped around his ears. The handsome man licked his dry lips, gritted his teeth and said: "It really is a bunch of beasts!" The rope broke as soon as the voice fell , Stood up with a deep face. He originally wanted to wait until late at night to do it again, but now he couldn't bear it.

"You, you, you, how did you untie the rope?" Xiaozhu and the others stared at him with gaping mouths.

"You stay here first, I'll save Treasurer Lin, and when you hear the whistle, you will come out and join me." Afraid that a few people would run wildly and startle the bandits, the Junwei man gave a few people a special warning after untieing them, and then pulled them with bare hands The iron chain on the broken door bolt was restored slightly, and dived in the direction of the most meaty.

Lin Dan was stir-frying beef tendon, and peony and cuckoo were kneading the rotten beef into balls and putting them in the milk soup made with beef stick bones. Seeing the man pushing the door, all three of them were taken aback. Lin Dan reacted the fastest, and immediately pulled the other in and covered the door with his backhand.

"Why are you here, Xiaozhu and the others?" she asked in a low voice.

"I'm here to save you." The man's weapon has been confiscated by the bandits. At the moment, he is picking out kitchen knives in the kitchen, his tone is very calm, "I will send you out of the cottage first, and don't run around in the forest. Go down and wait for me in the open area at the foot of the mountain. Me and Xiaozhu will come afterwards." The scene later will be a bit bloody and not suitable for women to watch. It doesn't matter if Xiaozhu is saved until the end, and he can clean it up. Corpse.

After thinking about it, the man went to pull Lin Dan's wrist, but was gently pushed away by her, "There are more than 30 thugs in the stockade, you are only one, how can you handle it? You sit down and eat something later. We can go down the mountain.” He brought a plate of beef with scallions and stuffed the bowl and chopsticks into the other's hands.

The man subconsciously took the table and chopsticks, gulped and swallowed a few mouthfuls, his eyes gleamed with a light of contentment and enjoyment, and he paused for a moment, his tone was slightly embarrassed: "It's not time to eat, you follow me go!"

"What are you going to do, sit and eat!" Lin Dan gently patted the man's extended hand, with a slight smile in his voice.

The man looked at the back of his itchy hands and at Lin Dan's smiling face, he fell silent unconsciously, his eyelids drooping.

Peony and Cuckoo looked at the beef stew that had been emptied in the pot, and complained: "I told them that the meat was not simmered, and it had to be boiled for a while. They wanted to scoop it out and eat it. It would really spoil things!"

"It's already a blessing to just ruin things and not ruin people." Lin Dan listened to it, and a smile in his eyes grew. "There is no noise, let's go and see."

The man immediately put down the bowls and chopsticks and stood up, but Lin Dan pressed his shoulders back, "Sit down, and we will go." Hua Luo and the two little girls carried a plate of hot dishes and walked out unhurriedly. . Even if they encounter bandits, they can use the excuse of serving food to cover up, and they are not afraid at all.

The man touched his shoulder with a strange expression, and then followed closely. The group came to the hall smoothly, and saw that the ground was full of bandits, and a few were lying on the table, snoring like thunder. There was a smell of wine that couldn't be opened in the air, and when the door was pushed, he swooped over, making people unable to walk. Snoring was heard from several other houses, which showed that these bandits could not resist the temptation of Thousand Days Wine after all, and died of drunkenness.

Peony and Cuckoo stood on tiptoes and looked at the wine urn placed in the middle of the hall, gritted their teeth and said, "A jar of wine has been harmed by them!"

Lin Dan touched the heads of the two little girls and said, "It's fine if it doesn't harm people. Let's pack our things and go."

The man looked at the drunks all over the floor with a surprised expression. He never expected that Shopkeeper Lin would solve the matter without any effort. There was no need for anyone else to save him.

Lin Dan walked around the man and slowly said, "With me, there is nothing that can't be solved by a meal." As soon as the voice fell, there was a sound of horseshoes outside the cottage, and groups of torches approached here. I don't know what happened.
