Chapter 311: Unspoken Rules
"The tip of the pea is ripe, get it out. Cheng Yun ignored the silence of the others and shouted.
"Okay!"
Yin Nuxia and the little mage responded in unison.
I saw the two of them turn around at the same time, pick a sturdy branch from the firewood behind them, carefully pluck the bamboo tube on the fire, and pull it in front of them. The movements are neat.
Little Lori sat motionless next to Cheng Yun, staring at the two of them very seriously. It was now acting as an overseer.
From the series of actions of the little mage, Feng Han and the others finally confirmed in their hearts that the incident just now was just an accident and a coincidence - this girl who was so beautiful that she didn't seem to be possessed by the dragon mother and was not afraid of fire.
Cheng Yun put the bamboo tube on the stone ground and cooled it, then picked up the firewood knife and prepared to cut it open.
All the creatures present were staring at his movements.
Cheng Yun slashed it down with a knife and broke it with his hand.
Click!
Half of the bamboo, still green and half blackened, split into two halves, the steaming water rose to the top, and except for a few sausages at one end, the inside was full of emerald green and delicate pea tips. The aroma of fresh bamboo, pea tips and smoked sausages rise with the heat, and the flavors are both unique and can be smelled by everyone.
Tang Qingying immediately licked her black and red mouth, and exclaimed, "It's so fragrant!"
Yin Nuxia and the little mage echoed with expressions.
Most of the other people's expressions were similar.
The pea tip was grown and eaten by Uncle Cheng Yun and Mr. Cheng themselves, and Yizhou people love to eat this thing. Cheng Yun and his party only pinched the top and most tender part of each seedling, and they pinched out the entire piece of soil before they could make up so much. It can be said that it is the most natural ingredient.
Mr. Cheng has stopped raising pigs for a long time, and growing vegetables is purely idle and panicked, but every year they will buy a pig from a neighbor to make New Year's goods, and they rarely feed feed.
In recent years, many people have complained that the food in the city has no taste of vegetables and the meat has no meat taste, which is actually not true. Strictly speaking, it should have its own flavor, and the growth cycle of home-grown ingredients is long, and the taste will be stronger, which has a certain relationship with feed varieties and the like, but it is not direct. It's just that homegrown ingredients are becoming more and more difficult to obtain and are loved by most people, so it is generally believed that it tastes better.
This is to be judged according to each person's taste, and taste is a very subjective thing. Not most people think so, everyone thinks so.
For example, Cheng Yun has always felt that the meat quality of local chickens is not as delicious as the white feather chickens in the supermarket, even if it is used to stew soup, he prefers the faint umami of white feather chickens to the overly strong local chickens, especially the local chickens are still expensive and expensive. He especially doesn't like to eat eggs, especially boiled eggs, because he thinks that the yolk of eggs is too tight and fine, and it is easy to choke.
In any case, this bamboo tube is extremely original from the inside out.
Cheng Yun only added a little salt to the pea tip, and the fragrance was all based on smoked sausages, and the simple cooking method completely released the aroma of the ingredients themselves, which immediately attracted a group of city people.
Little Lori stared intently at the bamboo tube, waiting for the king to give it priority in order of status, but it was stunned to see Cheng Yun hand the first open bamboo tube to the group of strange mortals.
The second was also given to them.
It also heard Cheng Yun's cousin say, "What about chopsticks, don't we bring chopsticks?"
Cheng Yun was also stunned: "Yes, I forgot to bring it!"
A group of people looked at each other in the face of the hot pea tips, and they couldn't move for a while.
Little Lori was a little dissatisfied.
Mortals are really troublesome, and they need chopsticks to eat! This king doesn't need it, give it to this king first!
Feng Han glanced around, quickly broke a small branch, broke it into several sections, handed it to everyone next to each other, and said with a smile: "It will be used, it will be used." ”
Lin Yuanwu naturally took the branch and thanked him, without the slightest dislike.
Peng Manxuan frowned slightly, and took it, but carefully wiped the wooden branch clean. On the contrary, Zhu Jiayan was a boy holding these two fresh branches, staring at the broken part of the wet wooden branches, and made a difficulty.
……
It wasn't until everyone was assigned the bamboo tube that little Lori's eyes were almost piercing, and it was Cheng Yun's turn to be with it.
Seeing that little Lori was eating pea tips with some difficulty but relish, Feng Han and his party felt surprised for the first time. They gradually fell silent, always feeling that something was wrong with what happened today, but when they thought about it, they couldn't think of what was wrong, and they couldn't help but be confused. Only Zhu Jiayan, who had seen the most, occasionally raised his head and glanced at Cheng Yun and his party, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, Cheng Yun also took down the roast chicken and roast rabbit and shared them with everyone.
Seeing that several of her friends seemed to be a little silent, Cheng Qiuya was puzzled, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "By the way, Brother Feng, aren't you looking for someone to take you into the mountain?"
"That's right, who do you think of again?" Feng Han raised his head.
"Hmm!"
"Who? I won't run to ask when the time comes, and people don't want to. Feng Han smiled.
"You don't have to, you can ask now. Cheng Qiuya looked at Cheng Yun.
"He?" Feng Han and the others also looked at Cheng Yun, and they couldn't help frowning. According to their previous assumptions, they should find someone who has experience in hunting in the mountains to take them in, and in this village with the mountains back, there should be many hunters among the older generation, and such people are not difficult to find. But Cheng Yun doesn't look like a person with hunting experience no matter how you look at it.
"Why are you looking at me, what are you doing in the mountains?" Cheng Yun was also stunned.
Feng Han and the others all looked at Cheng Qiuya and did not say anything.
If it were a different person, they would definitely refuse directly. But Cheng Yun is Cheng Qiuya's cousin, and after getting along for a long time, they are a little embarrassed to talk straight.
Cheng Qiuya hesitated for a moment and said, "They want to go into the mountains to play, find someone to take them in, see if you are willing." ”
After a pause, she looked at Feng Han and his party again: "Although Cheng Yun has never gone into the mountains to hunt, but my second uncle has hunted before, and my brother has also entered the mountains with a shotgun, and Cheng Yun has also been there a few times. Just lead the way, he's fine. I remember two years ago, when he was still in college, he hiking up Xiling with a hiking bag and a tent. He either entered from Dafeishui or set out from here, and it took several days to return. ”
"And it's the New Year recently, and the family is in reunion, so you have to find an old man in the village to take you into the mountains...... It's still not easy. Well, it is estimated that it is not easy to add money, I asked so many people before, and everyone is not free. ”
"We can add more money, more money. Feng Han still hopes to find an experienced hunter, otherwise if he gets lost, the danger is not easy, but won't this trip be in vain.
"yes. Lin Yuanwu also nodded, he peeked at Cheng Yun, and said implicitly, "We are also afraid of danger and want to find someone to bring ......."
"You're here to hunt?" asked Cheng Yun.
"Hmm. Cheng Qiuya nodded.
"The mountains are full of protected animals. Cheng Yun frowned, are the local tyrants in this city so good at playing?
"We don't fight to protect animals. Feng Han said.
"Then you have nothing to fight against, and now even sparrows are protected animals. Cheng Yun said.
"This ...... It's not impossible to be flexible a little. Feng Han said cryptically.
"With what, with a gun, with a bow?"
"Of course it's a bow! What age is it, who dares to touch a gun!" Feng Han pointed to his group, "A few of us have known each other from playing with bows, and we have been all over the years." ”
Although several people are either rich or expensive, guns belong to you as long as you have the guts, you can easily get them, but except for those who are not very normal in their brains and do illegal things themselves, usually no one dares to touch this thing. The higher the status, the more dare not touch. Once discovered, both the central government and the general public have extremely low tolerance for illegal gun purchases. After all, this is not the same thing as the fact that the rural people in the ravines hide the shotguns that have survived from the past.
"Oh!" Cheng Yun nodded, "Anyway, I'm not interested, you can ask Second Uncle Sun next door, he still has a bird gun hidden in his house, and he has to go into the mountain to shoot a few shots every year." ”
"I've asked, it's been the New Year these days, and I'm not free. Cheng Qiuya said.
"Hmm......" Cheng Yun frowned, "Then you have to go to the street and ask, but this kind of thing...... It's not good to make a big fuss. The national policy does not support casual hunting, let alone our ...... This matter is very strictly investigated. ”
"Hmm. ”
"Are you all going?" asked Cheng Yun.
"I'm not going. Cheng Qiuya said.
"That ......" Cheng Yun glanced at the only girl among the several, Peng Manxuan.
Seeing this, Feng Han said, "Take her to play." ”
"But be safe. Cheng Yun reminded, "It's a protected area, or some kind of natural heritage, the tiger is estimated to be gone, but there are still a lot of leopards, bears, wild boars and some small beasts, especially wild boars." ”
"Hmm. Feng Han nodded, "So we hope that an experienced hunter will take us in." ”
"Do you have any previous hunting experience?"
"I've been there many times, and Yuanwu is about the same, Jiayan This is the first time I've come out, but this kid has good archery skills, and he shoots more accurately than me in the arrow hall. Feng Han said.
"Tsk, the local tyrants really know how to play. Cheng Yun was speechless.
He didn't have the idea of joining in the fun anyway.
Those who have never been in the mountains may think that the mountains are fun, but unless they have hobbies such as hunting and outdoor activities, they will find the mountains not interesting at all after a few times. For example, if you want to go into this kind of mountain once, you have to bring very heavy items, food, drinking water, equipment, tent sleeping bags, and you will walk and walk in the mountains all day long, and you won't see much for half a day, which is very boring.
And it's a very cold day, and the higher you go into this mountain, the colder it gets.
In the past, Cheng Yun could enter the mountain in order to conquer a certain route and challenge exploration, but now that he has been lazy for so long, he has long lost that energy, and he doesn't want to go in at all.
Suddenly, Cheng Qiuya asked again, "Are you bringing them over...... Do you want to play Xiling Snow Mountain?"
"Almost, let's go to the hot springs tonight first, and go to Xiling early tomorrow morning. ”
"Tonight...... We are also planning to go to the hot springs. Feng Han's eyes lit up, and he asked again, "Have you set a hot spring hotel?"
"It should be ordered, right?" Cheng Yun looked at Cheng Yan.
"Well, it's booked. Cheng Yan nodded, "I've booked three standard rooms, no problem, right?"
"No problem, we both sleep in one room. Tang Qingying said.
"I sleep in a room with Miss Yu. Seeing this, Yin Nuxia also said.
Lin Yuanwu was stunned and looked at Cheng Yun and the little mage.
Cheng Yun didn't disappoint him, and soon said to the little mage: "Then it's just the two of us, no problem, right?"
The little mage hesitated for a moment, but nodded and said, "No problem." ”
As soon as the words fell, the rest of the people were immediately stunned, and their eyes widened.
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
“……”
But Feng Han and the others thought differently from Lin Yuanwu.
Feng Han and the others were thinking ...... What's wrong with this year, can even the hotel owner unsubtly rule female employees?
And Lin Yuanwu's mind kept echoing the picture of the little mage when he hesitated and said 'no problem' just now, the flickering gaze that lowered his head, the hesitant tone, and the reluctance to agree with some embarrassment...... The sequence played back and forth in his head, making it difficult for him to breathe.
My heart hurts......
