Duoduo had been listening the whole time. When he heard what Xiaobei said about his guards, he began to guess who this Zhang Xiaobao from Tang Dynasty was.
From what they said, the ones following them were not the Tang Dynasty's army, but their own slaves? Oh, they called servants. There were also children, but they didn't come. What did their family do?
Also, the little girl with the spear said that thousands of people had died at the hands of Zhang Xiaobao and his woman. Were they not afraid of Tang Dynasty's laws? It was said that killing was not allowed in Tang Dynasty.
After hesitating for a while, Duoduo mustered up his courage and asked Zhang Xiaobao, "What is your status in Tang Dynasty? You killed many people and you are not guilty? "
"I am Zhang Xiaobao," Zhang Xiaobao said.
"I know. I heard you say that you are a good person. Then what is your status?" Duoduo was very nervous.
Zhang Xiaobao finally stopped what he was doing and looked at Duoduo in shock. Wang Juan covered her mouth and laughed. Xiaobei said, "Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Uncle Duoduo, you are really interesting. Brother, you are also interesting."
Zhang Xiaobao also laughed and patted Xiaobei's head. He said to Duoduo, "Since you don't know my name, it's useless to talk about the official position. This war against the Duoduo was planned by my wife. As for me, I am responsible for mobilizing people to help transport things. You understand now, right?"
Duoduo looked at Zhang Xiaobao in shock and then quickly turned to look at Wang Juan. He moved his feet and took five steps back. Not only did he understand, but he was also frightened.
"You … you are Heartless Xiao Bao, and you are Demoness Cuckoo? You … you are Xiaobei? "Duoduo asked in a trembling voice.
Xiaobei patted his head and sighed. "Ah! Uncle, it's not that I want to belittle you, but how do you think you can lead the tribe to greater heights? Come, let me introduce you. This is Xiao Hai, and this is Xiao Nan. Her sister is Da Nan. Don't they look alike? There's also Xiao Gang, Xiao Qiang, Xiao Zhu, Xiao Fang, and so on. "
"My name is Xiao Yuan. If you're not, wait a minute. Brother, look, Xiao Bei is bullying me in front of outsiders." Xiao Yuan could not take it anymore.
"No, I'm not bullying you. You don't need me to introduce you, right, Uncle Duoduo?" Xiao Bei hurriedly asked Duoduo.
Duoduoduo kept nodding. "Yes, Xiao Yuan will be Xiao Bei's man in the future. It's just that he's always bullied by Xiao Bei. He doesn't act like a man."
"What are you talking about? Little Yuan is giving in to me. Uncle, you only know how to bully women. Right, Big Brother Yuan ~!" Little Bei pouted and said to Toto before smiling sweetly at Little Yuan.
"I'm so worried." Little Yuan also slapped his forehead.
"What do you want to eat tonight?" Zhang Xiaobao asked again, ignoring the little ones' playfulness.
Xiaobei smiled at Little Yuan again. He observed the deer and said, "Let's eat the venison hotpot. Everyone has a small pot in front of them. Little Yuan and I will share one. There must be chili in the seasoning."
Zhang Xiaobao nodded and agreed. He began to ask people to prepare enough portions, and it had to be the best part of the meat. He knew that Xiaobei was still unwilling to eat in the same pot as the children in the tribe. Even though he had washed his new clothes when he changed, he was still tanned. Moreover, he did not undergo hygiene inspection, so Xiaobei was afraid of getting sick.
Duoduo could tell that the children did not like to eat in the same pot as his children, so he could not help but feel a little uncomfortable. However, when he thought about how this person directly started a war against the cannibals, his status was naturally very, very high. So high that he would not have come into contact with him if he did not meet him by chance.
Then, he suddenly saw Zhang Xiaobao promise the children to make some hotpot, so he used this as a topic.
"Zhang … Xiao Bao, can I call you guys like this? You guys, okay? Xiaobei, do they like to eat meat? "
"You can call me whatever you want, but you can't call me 'you guys'. It sounds awkward to me. You don't have to care too much. My wife and I are actually, actually, very kind. Really, okay, I won't say that we are kind. I'll just say that we won't kill you guys. You should believe me, right?"
When Zhang Xiaobao spoke, he saw the look in Duoduo's eyes again.
Wang Juan was still smiling. She remembered how Xiao Bao looked when he said that he was a good person yesterday. When she saw Duoduo looking over, she quickly tried to become serious and said, "Xiaobei and the others like to eat everything. They are not picky about food. You see that they don't eat in the same bowl as your children, right?"
Wang Juan immediately thought of this question.
Duoduo nodded embarrassedly.
Zhang Xiaobao smiled at him to show that he understood, but he still explained, "Actually, Xiaobei and the others don't like to eat in the same bowl as other children. It's not that they dislike it, but that they are afraid. We walk around the capital, and every place is different.
To put it in a more profound way, it's different from bacteria. It's something that can make people sick. You locals are already used to it. Xiaobei and the others are children. If they get sick from eating together, it won't be easy to treat them.
In fact, we put medicine in the food you eat, including the clothes you change. The purpose is to let you take a bath first. Otherwise, why would we be in a hurry to make new clothes for you? We are all afraid that we will get sick before we can fully adapt to your place. "
Once the words were said, Duoduo didn't feel uncomfortable anymore. Who asked them to not be clean enough? It wasn't enough to be looked down upon from the bottom of their hearts. They could wash off the dirt, but they didn't know what to do when they were looked down upon.
After feeling comfortable, Duoduo said to Zhang Xiaobao, "Just now, when you said that they were in a dilemma about what to eat, why don't I give you an idea? Let them roast it. Roasted venison is very fragrant."
"Thank you, but they said that they want to eat hot pot. I'm not in a dilemma. I have to think about how to make them feel comfortable eating it. I'll do it according to the current deer. If the fiber of the meat is thick, I need to cut it thicker and let them cook it slowly in the hot pot. If the fiber of the meat is thin, I need to cut it into very thin slices and let them cook it.
"Also, what should we put in the soup? We can't use the pheasant that we just hunted here to make the soup, nor can we use the fish in the river. It's good to use beef bones and pig bones to make the soup, but we didn't bring them. So, I just thought about it. It's best to use the local mushrooms to make the soup. Previously, we had the throat mushrooms. Together with the mushrooms here, it'll be enough. It can also let them adapt to the local bacterial environment. Add two dried abalones. Alright, that's it. "
Zhang Xiaobao patiently analyzed Duoduo. As he analyzed, he counted with his fingers like a child, calculating the counteracting and compatibility of the food.
Duoduo was dumbfounded. Was this still cooking? This wouldn't do. His clansmen also had to consider the food they ate. They would have starved to death long ago.
However, listening to it, he felt that it would definitely taste good. It was a pity that he couldn't compete with the children and the injured.
Duoduo looked a little disappointed, not because he couldn't eat it, but because he thought about the lives of the Tang people. After comparing them, he felt inferior. He asked tentatively, "Do the Tang people all eat the same?"
"How is that possible?" Xiao Bei raised his head and continued, "If only all the Tang people could be like this. Not to mention venison, we don't even have a lot of mutton. We eat pork every day. If we don't have enough pig meat, we have to exchange it with chicken and duck meat. It's good enough if we can eat pork ribs in half a month.
If we want to eat venison every day, we have to raise deer like we raise pigs and chickens. Their lives are really tough. My family has a restaurant business, so the food there is better. It's a little better. "
Xiao Bei felt embarrassed as he spoke.
Duoduo suddenly understood. He had heard of restaurants before. People who ate there had to be rich, and the food tasted good. He couldn't help but feel envious. If there was someone in his family who worked in a restaurant …
"The meat is good. It's very delicate. Cut out the tenderloin and chill it. Don't let it run. I don't want to make cold jerky for them. I want it cold and fresh."
At this time, Zhang Xiaobao had already checked the meat for himself and instructed.
Naturally, someone went to get saltpeter and chill the venison.
Duoduo didn't know what chilling was, so he didn't ask. Otherwise, he would be even more surprised. Now, he felt that Zhang Xiaobao shouldn't be so serious. He advised, "Just make food. Don't worry too much about the children. Yes, that's what I said."
"If you don't want to worry, then don't raise them. Even raising horses knows how to be careful, let alone raising children. Look at the wild vegetables under your feet. You can't just eat venison. "
Zhang Xiaobao began to pay attention to the path under his feet again. When he saw wild vegetables that weren't poisonous, he would pick a piece and put it in his mouth to chew. He wanted to see if the taste could match with the venison and seasoning.
Every time he confirmed something, Duoduo would pick it. There were many wild vegetables in the mountains. He was usually very careful when he ate them, afraid that they would be poisoned.
"Small root vegetables? Sure enough, it's time to eat. Babies, what should we do? " Zhang Xiaobao suddenly found many small roots of garlic. The scientific name was Allium White. He dug one out of the soil and tasted it. He asked the little ones.
The nine children began to feel awkward. They knew that if they had small root vegetables, they would also have cat ears. Then, they could eat the small root vegetables with cat ears soup. It was very delicious. If they added a small plate of sliced cucumber with some salt, it would be even better.
But, but someone had already gone to prepare the venison. What should they do? One by one, they frowned.
Duoduo was puzzled. Your family is full of foodies. You frown when you're cooking, and you also frown when you're eating. It's as if you're in a dilemma. Is it more difficult than fighting a war?
"You can put the two together and eat them both." Duoduo felt that he was very smart and proposed a solution.
Without waiting for Zhang Xiaobao to speak, Xiaobei shook his head. "No, venison is warm and nourishing. The small root vegetables are spicy and also nourishing. The cat ears are earthy and can suppress the slight spiciness of the small root vegetables. Together with the cucumber, it will improve the taste and clear the stomach. It's a good combination.
Therefore, we can't eat it together with venison. Otherwise, we won't be able to taste the venison. Also, after eating, should we take cold medicine to digest, licorice to balance, or medicine to warm the spleen and stomach to stabilize? It's just a meal. It's not like we're risking our lives. Do you want to eat us to death?
It's like chili mixed with ice. Can that be eaten? It's also impossible to add licorice. Those who dare to prescribe such a prescription are either quacks or divine doctors. Didn't you see that brother is looking for vegetables to neutralize the venison? "
"Yes, yes. Illness comes from the mouth, and disaster comes from the mouth. We have to be very careful," Xiaoyuan echoed.
Duoduo didn't understand at all. The only thing he knew was that it wasn't easy for Zhang Xiaobao and the others to eat. It sounded very dangerous.
Thinking of the danger, he became nervous again. He said to Zhang Xiaobao, "When we see our big leader, you must not reveal your identities. If the big leader knows who you are, he might want to arrest you."
