Chapter 56: Fish Soup
Cheng Jingzhi said: "Find a place to eat first." β
"Uh-huh. Yu Lan said cutely, "I'm just hungry." β
The two of them walked around the neighborhood and found a tavern with the largest faΓ§ade. Yulan grabbed the menu, she had been at the bottom of the sea for a long time, she felt that everything on land was delicious, and she couldn't wait to taste all the dishes, Cheng Jingzhi hurriedly grabbed her and whispered: "We have to stay for a few days, don't worry, I guarantee that you can eat it." β
Yulan agreed, ordered a few dishes, and asked for a pot of wine, which made Cheng Jing stunned. Yulan poured two bowls of wine and said, "Come, let's do one first." β
Wow, what a great little girl!
Yulan drank it dry in one gulp, so spicy that she opened her mouth and exhaled vigorously, Cheng Jingzhi laughed, feeling more and more cute about this little girl.
Cheng Jingzhi said in a low voice, "That guy usually sticks out in the barracks, but he will always have a time to socialize, so we will wait for him here." β
"Oh, I see, I wouldn't have understood if you had said it earlier. Yulan nodded understandingly, and then asked, "What is entertainment?"
Poof, Cheng Jing squirted a sip of wine onto the ground.
"Haha, teasing you, I'm a girl from a big family, I don't understand this. Yu Lan finally stopped laughing, and then said, "Brother Cheng, I think you may have the blood of our Runxia clan, otherwise Sister Xiu's blood may not dissolve with you, and it will hurt you." I guess she saw this, so she asked you to deliver the message. β
"Oh, tell me, what other characteristics do you Runxia have?"
Yu Lan grinned and said, "I love cleanliness, and even a little cleanliness." We have to take a shower three times a day. β
"Ah, I didn't see you taking a bath?" As soon as Cheng Jingzhi's words came out, he felt that he had said the wrong thing, as if he had a habit of peeking at people taking a bath.
Yulan laughed and said: "Even if you want to peek, you can't see it, we don't need to take off our clothes when we take a bath, just use the moisture in the air to moisten the skin." But you reminded me that today is a big war and a rush, so it's really a little less washing, I'll wash it now, and you can watch it if you want. β
After that, Yu Lan closed her eyes, rubbed her hands, and water vapor kept coming out of her clothes, like a steaming drawer on the fire, and after a while, Yu Lan's body shook lightly a few times, and she let out a breath, with a very comfortable expression.
Cheng Jingzhi was stunned, there was such a magical bathing method, and the people at the other tables were also dumbfounded, could this girl be sitting on the stove?
Looking at this stupid man, Yulan grinned for a long time before stopping, Cheng Jingzhi's face had become the same color as the red pepper on the table.
For several days, they watched outside the prison camp every day, came here to eat and bathe, and Cheng Jingzhi got used to it.
On this day, the two of them just sat down, and more than a dozen people came in noisily outside, led by General Tan, and there was a well-behaved woman like a cat next to him, snuggling up to his arm, snorting and coquettish, today is her birthday, and the rest are six generals wearing silver robes and holding gifts and a group of pro-soldiers, the generals in green robes and white robes are on duty on the front line, and they dare not leave without permission.
There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them.
Yulan looked down on the woman who was sneering the most, and sneered and said, "It's disgusting." β
"That's them. Cheng Jingzhi whispered, picked up the menu to cover his face, pretended to look through it, and told Yulan Dao, "Don't look!"
On the first page, the restaurant's signature dish: brown blue fish soup.
The fish on the picture is shallowly forked, brownish-green at the top and silvery-white at the bottom, mixed with white microband light blue round spots, arranged in rows along the body. This strange-looking fish made Cheng Jingzhi's eyes light up, and he handed the menu to Yu Lan and asked, "Do you know this kind of fish?"
Yulan glanced at it and said, "How can there be a fish that we don't know in the Runxia clan, this is a brown and blue fish." β
"It's so weird, isn't it poisonous?"
Yulan thought for a while and said: "Its flesh is not poisonous, and it melts in the mouth, smooth and fragrant, it is a rare delicacy, but its fin spines have lateral grooves, which can secrete highly poisonous." β
"Oh, it looks like it's just as delicious as the pufferfish. Cheng Jingzhi said thoughtfully.
"Hmph, earth dog!" Yu Lan glared at him with disdain, fish, shrimp, mussels and crabs were all born from the same root as the Runxia clan, although the Runxia clan also eats it, but it is coveted by other clans, and it is not so comfortable.
"Well, where do you want to go, I'm thinking about my plans for tonight. Cheng Jingzhi said: "You Runxia clan, can you control any water?"
"That's nature. β
"Is the fish soup OK?"
"Okay, what are you going to do?" Yu Lan asked puzzled, Cheng Jingzhi said close to her ear.
Yulan shouted excitedly: "No, then Sister Xiu's revenge will not be avenged?"
Fortunately, General Tan's group had already gone upstairs, but the other diners were still startled by her voice.
Cheng Jingzhi hurriedly grabbed her, made a "shhhh β
Yu Lan listened to it and made sense, and was silent for a while before nodding.
"If we catch his concubine, we can exchange it with him. Cheng Jingzhi approached Yulan and whispered, "Don't take a bath today." Yu Lan glared at him, and laughed again.
Upstairs, in the largest private room, everyone is toasting General Tan's concubine Mao Cai'er, and in the middle of the table is the store's signature dish: brown and blue fish soup.
The fish soup suddenly turned over, and the fish in it swam back and forth as if they were alive, occasionally churning and jumping, spitting fish soup like a fountain, causing everyone to put down their wine glasses and stare at it curiously.
A silver-robed general immediately said: "On the birthday of Mrs. Sister-in-law, she actually attracted a cooked fish dance, which is really an auspicious omen, congratulations, I don't think I will be able to give birth to a big fat boy for my eldest brother in the near future." β
Everyone echoed the voice, General Tan laughed heartily, Mao Cai'er was also in a good mood, and said tremblingly: "Then borrow your auspicious words." β
After swimming for a while, the fish slid to the edge of the basin and said, "Congratulations to Miss Mao Cai'er on her birthday, I have something to say to you, please come with your ear." β
Mao Caier was taken aback, after eating fish for so many years, it was the first time she saw that fish could speak, especially stewed fish.
This is naturally Yulan's technique, she controls the water in the fish soup to make the fish flip and move, and she hides outside to talk, after all, the distance is far away, and the soup is small, only by attracting her to come can she hit with a blow.
Driven by curiosity, she stood up, pressed her expensive plush coat with her hand, and carefully pressed her ear to the edge of the clay pot. The fish exhaled like an orchid, causing Mao Caier to keep lowering her body, and suddenly the fish body rushed forward, and a fish bone shot out of the soup and pierced directly into her neck, causing her to scream in pain, and the whole person fell back. General Tan looked distressed, and her neck was purple and black.
General Tan was furious, and the others also stood up, pulled out their waist knives, and stared at the fish with fierce eyes, eager to swallow it alive, but it was already cooked, and it was estimated that it could only bite its bones to relieve its anger.
At this moment, the fish opened his mouth again: "General Tan, I am the divine fish of the Runxia clan, you harm my clan's fish show, I don't care about you, your concubine has been poisoned by the brown and blue fins, and she can only live for one hour at most." If you want to save her life, quickly send Yuxiu's body and Cheng Jingzhi's spear to the carriage outside the store, otherwise, you will wait to collect the body. After the fish finished speaking, its belly turned out and sank back into the soup.
Yulan took a breath and rubbed her fingers, her skills are still shallow, it seems to be a small skill, but she is very difficult to operate, it seems that she still needs to be diligent in practice.
General Tan suffered such a great humiliation in front of his subordinates, so he naturally refused to lose face and was willing to give in, but seeing Mao Cai'er in his arms screaming miserably, and the dark spots on his neck were getting bigger and bigger, he was really distressed. At this time, there needs to be someone to build a step, and the silver-robed general who spoke just now is the best person to build the platform, he said: "Such a little thief is naturally like a bedbug for the general, but at the moment, the sister-in-law and Mrs. are important, why don't we agree to their conditions first, take those two things in exchange for the antidote, and then clean them up, this is our territory, forgive him for wings." β
With a straight word, General Tan nodded and said, "Well, I'll leave this matter to you, and bring more people back." β
"Yes. The silver robe will turn and depart. General Tan helped Mao Cai'er out of the tavern, and there was a carriage parked at the door where a cow roared. At this time, the market had long been closed, and Cheng Jingzhi ran to several households before he bought one with a lot of money.
After a short time, the silver robe will come from a distance with a team of rune soldiers, two of them carrying a dehydrated and shriveled corpse, and Cheng Jingzhi's iron spear was also carried by the other two rune soldiers. General Tan doesn't use a gun, but he can also see that this gun is not extraordinary, and King Nu recently folded three purple-robed generals in a row, and he originally planned to give it as a gift to Jin Junshi, so that he could say a few kind words, and he might be able to change the color of the robe.
The figures on the rooftops and in the woods around him swayed, and countless rune soldiers were lying in ambush there with bows and arrows in their hands, which naturally couldn't hide from the eyes of Cheng Jingzhi in the middle of the carriage, but he didn't care.
The two Fu soldiers put the corpse and the spear on the carriage and walked away quickly, and Yu Lan saw Yu Xiu's corpse, and tears came out of her eyes. General Tan hugged Mao Cai'er and shouted: "Gentleman, please give me the antidote quickly." β
Before Cheng Jingzhi could stop her, Yulan had already moved her fingers, and a stream of water went straight to Mao Cai'er, circling around her neck, and every time she circled, the purple-black color of the wound faded a little, until the color was completely restored, the water lost power, fell down, and sprinkled Mao Cai'er's body, the clothes became transparent after being wet, and you could clearly see the heart clothes inside, Mao Cai'er screamed "ah" to protect her chest.
Seeing that Mao Cai'er had detoxified, General Tan's eyes showed a fierce light, and with a wave of his big hand, the surrounding Fu soldiers stood up one after another, arrows were like flying locusts, and Cheng Jingzhi's eyes were fast, and he pulled Yulan into the carriage. Cheng Jingzhi expected that they would have this hand, and before coming, he nailed a layer of iron plate to the inside of the carriage, although the outside had been pierced into a hedgehog, there was no damage inside.
Cheng Jingzhi said: "You stay inside, don't come out, I'll help Yuxiu take revenge." β
Yulan Naken shouted, "No, I'll go with you." β
"It's not that you won't be asked to help, but that you're asked to do something more important. Cheng Jingzhi pointed to a few big buckets in the car and said seriously, "You know, my nickname is 'the ground is not stained with blood', this is my biggest taboo, the shops have been closed, I haven't bought a white cloth, I need you to help me." β
"I want to avenge Sister Xiu with my own hands. β
"Okay, I'll leave that General Tan to you. β
"Good!"
Cheng Jingzhi lifted the spear, and the coldness penetrated his body, and he suddenly felt like a tiger with wings, breaking out of the roof of the carriage, like a lightning bolt rushing around.
"Yulan, it's up to you. Cheng Jing secretly thought in his heart.
