Chapter 525: Let's Swing the Sculls
Hu Mingchen told everyone a story of Guan Zhong assisting Xiaobai to achieve hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Such historical stories can be long or short, vivid or boring, depending on who tells them. Hu Mingchen's eloquence is quite good, and he has just read this period of history for a short time, so he tells it eloquently. He knows how to suppress frustration very well, and he also knows how to show off at critical moments, such as Guan Yiwu was almost killed in Lu State, such as Guan Yiwu shooting Xiaobai's clothes hook with an arrow, such a tense moment, Hu Mingchen will sell a trick and sell a trick.
It was drizzling outside, and the students in the house were eating roasted potatoes or snacks, listening to Hu Mingchen's infectious storytelling, which had a special taste.
Hu Mingchen spoke for more than ten or twenty minutes before describing the causes and consequences of Qi Huan's hegemony.
"Hu Mingchen, you know a lot, I think you are much more interesting than the history teacher. After listening to Hu Mingchen's story, Zhou Lan said, who was still unsatisfied.
"Hehe, so I can go to a storytelling contest? Haha, there are no mirrors now, and if you had, you would think you were looking funny. Hu Mingchen chuckled softly.
Following Hu Mingchen's pointing, the classmates looked at each other, only to find that everyone ate the roasted artichoke and became a little flower cat, and basically the corners of everyone's mouth were black. There are even some more patterns on someone's face and forehead, which really looks embarrassing and funny.
"You look like a fox. ”
"You're like a fox, hehe, you don't look at yourself, you're like a little devil. ”
"Wow, your face, hahahaha, how did you eat it to your face. ”
"It's the hand that accidentally touched it, you think you're good, you have a mustache. ”
......
Half of the students in the class were only children, and even if the others were not only children, most of them did not have such an experience. Although he sat on the ground and squatted on the ground, his hands and mouth were black and swarthy, and he looked embarrassed, but in everyone's body, Hu Mingchen saw happiness.
It's because I haven't experienced it that I feel happy and interesting, and it's still with my classmates, and I don't have that sense of distance.
Hu Mingchen himself squatted down, took out a large potato from the fire, took it and rubbed it around the wall a few times, broke it and ate it.
Just like the old man confidently said, after his artichoke firewood is a little better, even if there is no dipping sauce, it tastes like a special fragrance. This kind of food, which is not usually looked down upon by everyone, did not expect that it would become a delicious delicacy at this moment.
Boil the water well, and give priority to the female classmates who want to brew instant noodles. With a pot of boiling water, it is impossible to flush too many instant noodles.
After pouring the water, Hu Mingchen asked Sun Zhuangwu to go out to fetch water, anyway, now everyone has eaten, and there is no hurry, a group of classmates chatted and farted around the firewood, and the atmosphere was very harmonious and harmonious.
Don't look at the classmates getting along day and night, this is the first time to chat and talk without mustard at such a close distance. At this moment, the distance between the students has been virtually shortened and shortened, and I believe that after this autumn outing, the relationship between everyone will be more harmonious and intimate.
When the second pot of boiling water was used, Hu Mingchen volunteered to share the burden for Sun Zhuangwu, and he took the initiative to carry the kettle out to fetch water.
At this time, the light rain had become very small, Hu Mingchen looked up at the sky, and experience told him that after a while, the rain would stop. At that time, students can come out and walk around, and if they are interested, they can also go rowing.
Thinking of rowing, Hu Mingchen thought of the fishing net he had just cast and went to see if any fish had been hooked.
Hu Mingchen placed the lead pot by the lake and walked quickly towards the place where he had cast his net. The small wooden stake he checked was still there, and Hu Mingchen knotted the nylon rope tied to the wooden stake, and quickly pulled the net to the shore.
Hu Mingchen actually didn't have much hope, he didn't think that a few pieces of instant noodles could catch fish, and he wasn't even sure if there were fish in this lake.
However, when he lifted the net pocket out of the water, Hu Mingchen was overjoyed, and there were four fish in the net pocket, three of which weighed about half a catty, and the other was smaller, about two taels.
Hu Mingchen happily took out the four fish, fell to the ground and knocked them unconscious, there was still about half of the instant noodles in the net pocket, Hu Mingchen simply threw the net back into the lake again, looking forward to good luck.
Taking out the dagger, Hu Mingchen scraped off the scales of the four fish, peeled off the belly of the fish, and dug out all the internal organs inside. Hu Mingchen doesn't know how to kill fish, so he can only take this kind of rough and sharp way.
After handling the four fish, Hu Mingchen broke off a few branches from a willow tree not far away and brought the fish strings back.
"Boss, why did it take so long for you to fetch water, I knew it was better for me to go. Seeing Hu Mingchen's head appear in the window, Sun Zhuang said.
"People have three urgency, Hu Mingchen may be convenient to find a place. Ganquan teased.
"People are still eating, don't talk about those disgusting topics. Song Jiajia said.
"Lu Yong, help me catch the water first. Hu Mingchen handed the lead pot to Lu Yong next to Sun Zhuangwu, and after Lu Yong took the lead pot, Hu Mingchen raised the four strings of processed fish, "Look, what is this?"
"Wow, fish, where did the fish come from?"
"Hu Mingchen, do you know how to do magic?"
"What kind of magic trick, it's not by the lake, but I didn't expect Hu Mingchen to go down to the lake so quickly to catch a few fish. ”
"Oops, grilled fish, grilled fish to eat, so happy. ”
........
"Boss, give me one, give me one, don't forget that you catch fish, I also have merit. Sun Zhuangwu stretched out his two hands to take the fish in Hu Mingchen's hand.
"Didn't you think I was slow just now? If you want to eat fish, you can get it yourself in a moment. Hu Mingchen did not give the fish to Sun Zhuangwu, but to Qiao Wei and He Longfu.
"Boss, do you just put it on the fire?" He Longfu asked.
"Put it on the fire and bake it, you have to hold it in your hand and turn it to roast. Saying that, Hu Mingchen turned over and entered the house.
"Hu Mingchen, have you gone to catch fish? These four fish don't seem to be enough for so many of us to eat. Shangguan Wenqing leaned closer and asked.
"This fish was pressed by Sun Zhuangwu and I just now, and I didn't expect to catch it, hehe, four is a little less, but everyone can taste it separately." Oops, by the way, I haven't served the ingredients yet, Sun Zhuangwu, I tore off the seasoning bag left over from the instant noodles, there is oil and salt in it. ”
Hearing that Hu Mingchen had not forgotten his credit, Sun Zhuangwu hurriedly found out the seasoning packet.
Hu Mingchen smeared the butter from the instant noodle seasoning packet on the fish, he didn't know if this would work, but he knew that if he didn't brush some oil, the fish would be easy to paste and might lose its taste.
He originally wanted to sprinkle the fine mincs full of salt, monosodium glutamate and roast on the fish, but when he looked back, it was better to wait until the roast was finished and dip it, if he sprinkled it and turned it into the fire, it would be wasted.
These four fish are not fixed in the hands of four people at all, everyone wants to experience the fun of grilled fish in person, so the four strings of fish are constantly passed in the hands of dozens of people, to everyone's hands, only have time to turn twice, will be urged to go by the following.
It is equivalent to the whole class working together to complete the barbecue of these fish.
After just a few minutes of baking, some greedy boys shouted that it was ready to eat.
"Eat, eat a fart, is this good? You take it a little higher, you have to bake it for at least half an hour, don't look outside, the meat inside is still raw, roast it well, otherwise you won't have to eat it for a while." Hu Mingchen immediately reprimanded and stopped.
Although Hu Mingchen's prestige was very high, and he repeatedly suppressed it, after more than twenty minutes, he couldn't stand the boiling of his classmates.
Not to mention that the boys are in a hurry to eat, even some girls can't help it.
"Hu Mingchen, when I look at it, it's almost scorched, let's eat it, if you don't eat it, you won't be able to eat it. Guo Qian stared at the string of fish in her hand.
"Look at your greedy looks, you can't wait a little longer. ”
"Hu Mingchen, this is the first time you have grilled fish in the wild, of course you can't wait, you really want to taste your own results, you will allow it. Even Zhou Lan stood up to help them speak.
"Okay, okay, as long as you can eat, whatever you want. Anyway, everyone can only tear a small piece, otherwise we can't divide it, and we have to make sure everyone has a share. couldn't stop it, Hu Mingchen could only reluctantly agree.
Receiving Hu Mingchen's consent, Sun Zhuangwu reached out like a starving ghost to tear the fish that was roasting in Lu Yong's hand next to him.
However, as soon as his finger touched Yu Province, he quickly inhaled and retracted his hand--- he was burned.
Sun Zhuangwu's embarrassment immediately caused a burst of laughter. His experience has also given others experience, and he must not be too unscrupulous, blow it, try it to be less hot before starting. Anyway, there is no cutlery, so if you want to eat, you can only tear it yourself.
The skin of the fish looked charred, and even one of them was burned. But when I really tore it open, the meat inside was still very raw, but everyone got a small piece and dipped it in a little salt and put it in their mouths, and they all said it was very fragrant.
It's really rare and expensive, and if everyone gives them one, they will find it unpalatable, because there is only a small piece, whether it is raw or cooked, it tastes good in the mouth.
So, when eating, the environment is important, and the atmosphere is important. Just because it is in the wild where there is a lack of anything, because it has some credit for doing it yourself, and because of the small quantity, at this time, no matter how unpalatable it is, it will feel delicious.
Even Hu Mingchen got a piece of little finger close to the tail of the fish, dipped it in a little salt and stuffed it into his mouth, even if it was relatively raw, Hu Mingchen felt the same taste when he chewed it.
"I didn't expect the fish to be so delicious, I haven't eaten it before. ”
"Nonsense, that's because you haven't encountered an environment where you have to eat without food, and if you did, you would have thought it was delicious. Hu Mingchen said.
"Hmph, it's delicious anyway, but unfortunately, it's a little less, if you can have more, it would be better. ”
"You, you, fortunately, it's not enough, if you have more, you're going to vomit, don't you understand this truth?" Hu Mingchen retorted.
"Boss, I'll go and see if there is any fish in the net pocket, if so, let's roast it again?" Sun Zhuangwu wiped his mouth and said.
"Okay, go and see. Hu Mingchen nodded and waved his hand.
"Sun Zhuangwu, I'll go with you. ”
"I'm going, I'm going. ”
"Wait for me, count me in. ”
......
Everyone is interested in eating fish, and the interest in going to see and catch fish is not small, if it weren't for Hu Mingchen to stop him, I'm afraid that more than half of the people would have to go.
In the end, five or six boys went with Sun Zhuangwu, but I don't know if it was their bad luck or if they got the fish away themselves, and after a few minutes, six or seven people only brought back a small fish weighing one and a half and a half.
"A few of you worked so hard to get such a fish back, yes, then reward a few of you, you can divide it. Hu Mingchen couldn't laugh or cry.
"Divide? It's just Mu Da, how to divide it, I don't want it, you can take it." Looking at the thin fish in his hand, Sun Zhuangwu couldn't arouse his interest.
"Then I don't want to, you can bake it yourself. Sun Zhuangwu handed it to the boy next to him, but the boy also refused.
"Don't give it to me, what am I doing with it, it's not enough for you to bake it. The next boys resisted.
In short, none of them were willing to grill this fish.
"A few of you, you are still picking fat and thin, don't be, then give it to me. Hu Mingchen reached out and took the fish, took out a small dagger, and disposed of it with a few clicks.
"Zhou Lan, you can take it and grill it, this little fish, it's baked, it's definitely better than just now. Hu Mingchen picked up the small fish from a willow branch that he had used just now and handed it to Zhou Landao.
Zhou Lan happily took it, squatted down happily and put it on the fire to roast.
"Boss, it's not raining outside, let's go boating, there's no one, rowing should be fun." After getting rid of the small fish, Sun Zhuangwu proposed.
"It's okay to row, but you have to be careful about everything, when you get on the boat, you can't make a fuss, you can't stand up, you can only go to four people at a time, you can't overload, safety comes first. Hu Mingchen agreed and admonished.
"Hu Mingchen, there is still a boat here? Shangguan Wenqing asked.
"It's a small wooden boat that can seat six people. ”
"Then we're going to go boating, and since it's not raining, we're going to go out and enjoy the scenery of the lake and mountains. ”
"No problem, if you want to row, you can form your own team, each team of six people, each time on the boat can not exceed fifteen minutes, otherwise the people in front of you will have a long time, and the students in the back will have no chance." Hu Mingchen agreed and arranged.
Soon, a leisurely boat appeared on the surface of the mountaintop lake, and after the rain stopped, a little sun's smiling face appeared in the sky, and the classmates sitting on the boat, some used paddle, and some directly paddled with their own hands.
"Let's swing the oars, and the boat pushes away the waves...... I don't know who took the lead, but after a while, such a familiar song sounded in the lake.
