Chapter 133: Picnic

In late spring and early summer, the flowers are red, the trees are the greenest, and the wind blows on the face with a slight warmth, which is particularly comfortable. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Qingyun Mountain is the critical point of Xuzhou and Jiangzhou, this side of the mountain is Xuzhou, and it is the boundary of Jiangzhou over the mountain. The trees on the mountain are lush and lush, the emerald green meadows are blooming with colorful wildflowers, and the woods are occasionally crossed by snow-white rabbits.

Lan Xin was suddenly attracted by the scene in front of her, and she asked Xue Shan, "If we stop and rest now, will we miss the time to stay?" ”

Xue Shan went to ask Uncle Li, the dart master. This time, a total of four dart masters were invited, and Uncle Li was the leader of these four people, and he was responsible for Lan Xin's safety together with Xue Shan. Assi acts as Lan Xin's chauffeur. And the other two dart masters were in charge of the cart of luggage, and by the way, the aftermath was taken care of. Uncle Li came over and said with a smile: "Since the girl is not in a hurry, it is okay to rest now, and she will definitely arrive at the inn before dark." ”、

Since this is the case, Lan Xin gave an order and rested in place. The dart masters often walk darts and are very experienced. They found a place with water and set up a stove. The source of this water was living water, and the gurgling water ran happily to where they went, and the sun shone on the surface of the water as if it had sprinkled a handful of broken gold on the water.

Not far away, under a few large trees, there is a flat and spacious area. Sunlight casts dappled shadows from the emerald green foliage. The pot stove is set up right in the shade of the trees, so it is not too hot and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery around it, which is really a double win.

Lan Xin washed his hands by the water, and after playing with the water for a while, he slowly walked towards the forest with Dongxiu and a few others. Sunlight casts through the dense layers of foliage, and the ground is stamped with sparkling spots the size of copper coins.

The white, yellow, purple, and white wildflowers on the meadows in the forest were like brilliant specks embroidered on a large green carpet. Swarms of bees are busy among the wildflowers, tying their stamens and flying around diligently. Colorful butterflies are also busy coming in and out, flying from one flower to another, you chase me, so lively.

When they go out, they don't wear long skirts, so it's convenient to walk. "Wow, girl, look how beautiful that butterfly is!" Qinghe pointed to a butterfly with black and white dots and shouted,

"That's really pretty." Dongxiu said, pointing to the butterfly on a white wildflower that incited a pair of colorful wings.

Qinghe pursed his lips and said, "It's okay, it's not as beautiful as the one I said." It's colorful and nothing to look at. "Who said that?" Dongxiu was immediately unhappy, "Look at that pair of wings・・・・・・ alas, it's useless to tell you." ”

Seeing that Xue Shan and a few dart masters were going into the forest to hunt, "Girl! Qinghe looked at Lan Xin with a look of eagerness.

Lan Xin glared at her angrily, and said helplessly: "Go ahead, be careful yourself!" "Got it, girl!" Qinghe nodded happily in agreement, and the corners of his mouth were about to reach the root of his ears.

"Look, girl, there's mushrooms here!" Dong Xiu shouted in surprise, "Qingyun Mountain is really worthy of Zhong Lingyu's beautiful place, and you can actually pick mushrooms at the edge of the forest." ”

Lan Xin walked over curiously, only to see clusters of pale yellow, oily mushrooms growing under the shade of the trees, and not far away there were snow-white mushrooms with a slight yellowish tinge, these mushrooms were large, fat, and very tender.

Lan Xin looked at the cage of mushrooms and felt a burst of joy in his heart, squatted down, looked at it carefully, and asked curiously, "Can these mushrooms be eaten?" I remember that there was a book about someone who ate mushrooms and was poisoned by them. As he spoke, he stretched out a finger to touch the small umbrella, but when he approached, he retracted in fright.

"Huh!" Dongxiu was amused by her childishness, and said with a smile: "What the girl said should be that she ate poisonous mushrooms by mistake." These two kinds of mushroom slaves and maids are known, and they have also picked them when they used to play in the Zhuangzi. The clusters of pale yellow and oily mushrooms are oily mushrooms, and the other one is Zhen mushrooms, both of which are edible. Sometimes, we pick the mushrooms without oil or salt, and just boil them in boiling water and eat them, not to mention how delicious they are. If you put a piece of meat, or fried or stewed, it is even more tender and fragrant. Oops, the slaves are about to drool. ”

"In that case, let's take more and taste the delicious taste in your mouth together!" Lan Xin was also aroused by her, and reached out to pick a few flowers and sniffed them under her nose. A sweet, fresh, and nature-scented scent comes to your nose and refreshes your heart.

The master and servant quickly picked a large basket, and Dongxiu and Ziyi carried the basket to the water's edge to wash. Lan was holding a handful of red and bright mountain flowers in his arms, with a circle of shallow and delicate single-layer petals on top of the slender green long stems, and bright goose yellow stamens in the middle, one next to the other, brilliant and bright. With a shallow smile on the girl's face, the whole picture is a beautiful landscape.

After Dongxiu and Ziyi packed up the mushrooms, a few people who had gone out to hunt also returned. Qinghe's face was crimson, I don't know if he was tired from climbing the mountain, or excited, his eyes were shining, and he raised a few rabbits and pheasants in his hands. shouted at Lan Xin, "Girl, the slave is back." ”

"Wow, what a harvest you've made!" Lan Xin exclaimed, "Did you hunt all of those?" ”

"Hey, hey, it's not!" Qinghe scratched his head embarrassedly, took out a rabbit and said, "This one, this one is hunted by the slave." "The first time she went out hunting, she was not only inexperienced, but also a little excited. Several times, he scared away the prey that Xue Shan encountered. In the first two times, Xue Shan would also tell her how to do it and from which angle to hit the prey. But what she said was good, yes, yes.

When she saw her prey, she was so excited that she forgot everything, and forgot all the skills that Xue Shan gave her. It was only after seeing her prey being scared away that she came to her senses. Hanging his head, he carefully peeked into Xue Shan's expression, like a child who had made a mistake. Xue Shan didn't bother to pay attention to her, and walked forward on his own. Qinghe could only follow cautiously, looking at the rabbit and pheasant hanging from Xue Shan's waist, he was very envious in his heart, but he couldn't do anything, so he could only follow behind stupidly.

Xue Shan picked up a stone and flew towards a rabbit, perhaps misjudging the direction, only injuring the rabbit's two hind legs. The rabbit was unwilling to be caught and ran forward desperately. In the panic, he ran to Qinghe, Qinghe didn't give in, a rabbit that flew over and grabbed it with his hands and feet.

Xue Shan looked at someone lying on the ground like a big toad, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, he really felt sorry for that rabbit. Turn around and keep walking.

Qinghe doesn't care about what posture is good or not. In a beautiful posture and unable to catch a rabbit, she held the rabbit's two ears and danced excitedly. Even though the rabbit wasn't entirely her credit, she was happy. Xue Shan, who was walking in front, heard the child-like silver bell-like laughter behind him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.

Lan Xin looked at Qinghe's eyes fluttering, and he didn't ask much about the appearance of dodging left and right, and said with a smile: "The rest are Xue Shan hunting?" ”

Although I didn't want to admit it, I still nodded vigorously, that guy is really amazing. "Hehe, I didn't expect Xue Shan's ability to be so great!" Lan Xin praised that although she had never hunted, she knew that hunting must not be a simple matter. Seeing that he didn't come back with a few people, he casually asked, "What about Xue Shanren?" ”

Qinghe pouted at Nunu by the river and said excitedly: "Girl, that guy looks like a piece of wood, but he is really good at hunting, and one person actually hunted a deer." ”

"Really? Why didn't you bring it? Lan Xin suddenly became interested.

"My brother is worried that it will be too bloody and will disturb the girl, so he is going to clean it up and bring it over." Dongxiu said with a smile, still carrying the cleaned mushrooms in his hand. Looking at the things in Qinghe's hand, he frowned and blamed, "If you don't deal with it cleanly, you will take it to the girl." ”

"Don't I think the girl hasn't seen it, so show it to her?" Qinghe retorted inwardly. It turned out that the guy surnamed Xue didn't let him take it for this reason, and he thought he had a small belly, and he was worried that I would take all the credit. Alas, it seems that he was misunderstood.

"Okay, where am I so squeamish? I haven't seen a deer yet! Let's go over and have a look. Lan Xin said with a smile, and several people came to the river together.

Asi's knife skills are fast and skillful. In such a short time, the deer had been skinned and began to disassemble the body with a knife. Uncle Li stood on the side and nodded incessantly: "You kid is really amazing, such a big deer was actually knocked down by you alone." It's not easy! ”

"I just happened to come across it and got tangled in vines." Xue Shan replied modestly, hearing the footsteps, and seeing Lan Xin and a few people coming over, he said disapprovingly, "Girl, why didn't you wait over there, it's too bloody here." ”

"It's a rare opportunity to see such a scene, so naturally you can't miss it." Lan Xin said with a smile, bowed his head and saluted Uncle Li, and Uncle Li returned the salute.

"Master Assi, can I get the deer blood I want?" Dongxiu leaned over and asked. "Deer blood? This is a famous dish! I've heard about it for a long time, but I didn't expect to see it today! One of the dart masters handed Dongxiu a basin of deer blood and said with emotion.

"Master's words are strange, how can you see it? It's obviously edible. Lan Xin said with a smile.

"Huh?" The master's eyes widened in disbelief, and Uncle Li looked at her in surprise, does this girl know what she just said represented? The girls in the sun were slim and slender, and the pear vortex was deep, but they smiled silently, and did not seem to see the shock on their faces.

Uncle Li looked at Lan Xin's eyes and couldn't help but be a little complicated, this girl looks soft and weak on the surface, a delicate look, but she is arrogant when she does things, it's really not simple! If such a person cannot be a friend, he must not be an enemy.

Several of them were among the best at all, and a bunch of prey was quickly packed up. Everyone discussed it, and when everything was cooked, and if they couldn't finish eating, they would bring it with them, and just wait for it to heat up at the inn.

Lan Xin looked at the white and clean pheasant, smiled and said: "I once read an ancient book, which records a method, that is, wrap the chicken in lotus leaves, then wrap it in yellow mud, and bury it under the fire. The resulting chicken is fragrant and tender. ”

"Then let's try it, there are no lotus leaves here, let's use that kind of big fragrant leaves." Dongxiu pointed to a tree not far away and said, "When the leaves of that kind of tree are still young shoots, they can be used to make vegetables and eat." Now it has grown into a large leaf, and although it cannot be eaten, it is definitely not poisonous. ”

Just do it, Qinghe climbed to the tree and picked a few good fragrant leaves. There are a total of six pheasants, Dongxiu used two to make pheasant mushroom soup, and the remaining four were wrapped in yellow mud, and the master and servant also ingeniously stuffed the pheasant's belly with mushrooms.

The two of them finished it, and the pit on the side of Xue Mountain was dug, and two fires were built, one pile was kept for soup, and the other pile was roasted venison. After roasting for a while, Ziyi, under the command of Dongxiu, smeared the seasoning prepared in advance on the meat. Suddenly, the fragrance overflowed, and people couldn't help but drool.

"Shhh Lan Xin heard the sound of someone sniffing, and his heart was startled, and he looked around vigilantly. Seeing Assi put his nose next to the deer's leg, fanning the aroma with his hand and inhaling his nose, Lan Xin shook his head and laughed at himself for thinking too much. Not to mention Xue Shan, it is the four dart masters here, which one is not a person who has experienced a hundred battles and is extremely keen? If there were really people around, they wouldn't be unaware.

Squinting his eyes and looking up at a towering ancient tree that can only be picked up by four adults. The tree towers into the sky, and its branches hang in the air, with a unique posture. The huge canopy of the tree resembles an open green umbrella. Lan Xin always felt that there was a gaze on him. On second thought, how could anyone go up such a tall tree? It must have been roasted by the sun, so I was dizzy and cranky.

The person on the ancient tree lowered his eyes, withdrew his gaze, and secretly thought: I didn't expect there to be such a keen person.

The world is big, and the food is the biggest.

There were exactly two big stones next to each other on the edge of the flat land, Lan Xin took Dongxiu, Qinghe and Ziyi to occupy one stone, and Uncle Li and Xue Shang occupied one stone. Ziyi wanted to spread a brocade cloth on the stone of Lan Xin, but Lan Xin stopped him. When you're away from home, it's all simple.

took the pheasant mushroom soup handed over by Dongxiu, took a small sip, nodded and exclaimed: "Well, the shade is appropriate, the lips and teeth are fragrant, it's really delicious!" Everyone hurry up and try it while it's hot. ”

After Lan Xin drank it, everyone else began to move their chopsticks, and for a while, the sound of drinking soup and chewing was left in the entire mountain forest. After Lan Xin drank a small bowl, he stopped drinking. After Uncle Li drank two large bowls in a row, he asked with a smile, "Why didn't the girl drink it?" But frightened by our rudeness, or worried enough? ”

"How so?" Lan Xin said with a smile, "Uncle Li and the others are all bold people who are righteous and cloudy, how can I be such an uninformed person?" There was also a lot of soup, which was completely sufficient. ”

"Why is that?" Uncle Li asked suspiciously. Lan Xin smiled silently.
