73. Chapter 73
Hachi flew back with a flock of birds, and as soon as he arrived at the edge of the yard, he shouted: "Roast, grill fish, seasoning, seasoning, all of them!"
Feng Junhui explained that it had forgotten the names of several spices it went to get, but it was witty, and it directly explained that it was used for roasting, and Xu Mengqiao and they would naturally help it prepare.
"Do you want to barbecue by the lake?" Xu Mengqiao felt that his boss had a good time. Seeing that the flock of birds nodded, she said, "You drink some water and rest, and I'll go get spices for you." ”
"Okay! Spice, I'll give you grilled fish later. Xiaoba also said generously.
"Then remember to bring it to me. Xu Mengqiao joked.
In the kitchen, he packed up some spices needed for barbecue, and Xu Mengqiao put these seasonings in small bags, and then brought a little for each bird. Ziwei is big, so he brings more things. After loading the spices, the birds flew to the small lake, which was not close, and the birds with the spices flew very carefully and lined up in a row.
Ziwei took the lead in front, blocking the wind for the birds behind by the way, so that they could fly a little easier. The people next to him looked at the bird delivering things, and they were also very impressed. Such a bird is only available in Feng Junhui's house.
"Does this look like a carrier pigeon?" Huang Shengwei sighed.
"I think they're more like those owls in Harry Potter!" The carrier pigeon can only transmit a few small notes, but these birds can deliver anything! One day they fly to the town to pick up the courier by themselves, Xu Mengqiao doesn't think he will be surprised.
"You said that I will raise a big bird now, mix in with this flock of birds, and help me move things or something in the future, is it too late?" Huang Shengwei said, he really likes these birds so much.
"If you intend to enslave your birds, then you probably won't dare to set foot in the village again!"
"It makes sense, these birds also have a strong sense of bird rights. Huang Shengwei nodded, driving these birds to basically pay the corresponding price. He doesn't have as many things that Feng Junhui likes to eat, especially those bird foods made by Feng Junhui himself. Not to mention that the bird likes it, he likes it too!
He's not the only one who steals bird food, he's not the only one who asks for bird food, and he's not the only one who uses ice cream and chocolate to exchange birds for bird food!
Feng Junhui has already set up a fire, and the fish have been skewered. Seeing the bird team headed by Ziwei flying over, he began to set the fish on the fire and roast it. In fact, the quality of the fish here is really good, even if you eat sashimi, you can do it, and there are no worries about parasites. However, he doesn't like the greasy and soft feeling of sashimi, and he really can't accept eating raw food anyway.
The fish is good, and it is convenient to grill, just add a small amount of seasoning to enhance the flavor. The birds flew directly over and asked Feng Junhui to take off the spice they were hanging around their necks. This adds seasonings, especially the grilled fish brushed with oil, and the aroma comes out.
Feng Junhui didn't care about eating it himself, so after roasting one, he first distributed it to the meritorious birds who went home to get the seasoning. Xiaoba ate two bites, and then gave his share to Ziwei, Ziwei shook his head, and the taste of the roasted food was not as good as that of raw food.
"Eat raw, delicious!" Hachi immediately understood what Ziwei meant, and begged Feng Junhui for raw fish to eat.
"You catch it yourself, and you can eat it if you can catch it, and it's only one day, and it will be invalid when it expires. Feng Junhui waved his hand and sent the birds to play by themselves. He's still hungry!
"If you want to bake fish for my sister, grill one more. Hachi explained again. It promised Xu Mengqiao.
"You promised by yourself, then you went to catch the fish by yourself and I will roast it for you. Feng Junhui teased Hachi.
"Ziwei, help catch the fish. "Xiaoba took it seriously, and took Ziwei to catch fish.
As long as there was a little movement on the surface of the lake, and a fish came out, Ziwei flew over quickly, and grabbed the water with its claws, and the speed of catching the fish was extremely fast. Because of its speed, it is rare to miss a hand, a well, or a claw. Even Feng Junhui had to admire its ability to catch fish.
Ziwei caught one and threw it to the shore, and Hachi stayed by the fish pile. After looking at it, Ziwei finally caught a fish of more than two catties, and then threw it to Feng Junhui. Motioned to Feng Junhui to roast the fish, and waited for them to be sent to Xu Mengqiao.
After catching the fish, Ziwei flew over to eat fish with Xiaoba. Between the small man and the small mouth of Xiao Hachi, Zi Wei directly showed his claws, grabbed the big fish into fish strips, and put it aside for Xiao Hachi to eat. Its own mouth can peck open the scales of large fish and eat slowly, and some small fish can be swallowed directly.
"I thought it was only Xiaoba who hurt his daughter-in-law, but I didn't expect Ziwei to hurt Xiaoba a lot. However, they are both male birds, who is the daughter-in-law?" Feng Junhui read as he grilled the fish.
Other birds don't have the speed and claws of Ziwei, but that doesn't prevent them from catching fish. They stood silently on the branches of the trees by the lake, staring at the waters closer to them. If there is a small fish bubbling, they will immediately fly over and catch the fish. There are even birds that cooperate tacitly, two birds catch a relatively large fish at the same time, carry the fish to the shore, and then fly back to the shore, you and I share the food one bite at a time.
There are also two intelligent people who actually caught insects on the shore, dug up earthworms, and then used their mouths to catch small fish in the lake. They are also patient, and after throwing bugs and earthworms into the lake, they stand next to them and do not move. When the fish take the bait and eat the bait, they immediately put their mouths or claws out.
These birds around Feng Junhui's house have been in contact with people for a long time, and it is estimated that they are used to seeing behemoths, so they are also bold. Obviously a bird the size of a palm, when it saw a fish the size of one or two catties coming to eat the bait, it dared to rush forward to catch it. Fortunately, Ziwei next to him saw it and stepped forward to help it.
Otherwise, in the end, it is really hard to say whether the bird eats the fish or the fish eats the bird.
When Feng Junhui solved his food and clothing problem, he helped Xiaoba roast the fish that Xu Mengqiao caught. Thinking that Xu Mengqiao didn't eat spicy, Feng Junhui only snorted oil, sprinkled a little salt, and didn't put other seasonings. After baking, it was wrapped in lotus leaves, then put it in a bag and hung on Ziwei's neck.
Xiaoba and Ziwei were also full of food and drink, and flew home with this grilled fish. Although Xiao Hachi's speed was a little slow, Ziwei didn't fly fast either, so he waited for it deliberately. The two birds are literally flying with dog food all the way!
"Eat fish~Eat fish~" Hachi stood beside Ziwei excitedly, jumping and pointing at the bag around Ziwei's neck with his wings.
"Ah, did you really bring me grilled fish?" Xu Mengqiao took off the bag around Ziwei's neck.
Open the bag and gently peel off the lotus leaf wrapped outside. The fish wrapped in lotus leaves is still steaming, and the outside is scorched and burnt. The lotus leaves, which have been smoked by the heat of the grilled fish, also exude a faint fragrance.
The fatty grilled fish looked very tempting, and she couldn't help but tear a piece of it with her hands to eat. The fish was grilled a little dry outside, and it had just cooled down for a while along the way, and it wasn't hot to tear your hands at this time.
As soon as I tore it a little, the tender fish inside came out. The outside is already roasted, but the fish inside is still full of gravy and saturated as if it is about to flow out. And the fish meat is not only white and tender, but even a little almost transparent, and people will have a great appetite when they look at it.
After eating it in her mouth, Xu Mengqiao couldn't help but close her eyes, and she couldn't even chew it. The delicious fish gravy is almost sweet and tender. The juice is slowly flowing in the mouth. The burnt yellow skin on the outside is not bitter, but has the fragrance of trees and the special smell of smoke.
The skin of the fish is crispy, the fish meat is tender and full of gravy, and when you bite into it, several flavors explode in your mouth at the same time, which makes Xu Mengqiao feel super enjoyable.
"What are you eating?" ...... Huang Shengwei suddenly appeared next to Xu Mengqiao, swallowing his saliva and asking.
"Xiaoba and Ziwei gave me the grilled fish, go away, it's not your share!"
"Aren't you losing weight? You can't eat such a big fish after lunch!"
"Hehe......" If she can't eat it, she has to pack it back, and she can eat it after it is hot.
"Don't do this~"
"Go away. ”
Huang Shengwei stared at Xu Mengqiao's grilled fish, and Xu Mengqiao actually ate the whole grilled fish under his eyes! And Huang Shengwei was thinking in his heart, I don't know if this month's salary is gone, can I let the boss directly send two fish?
Feng Junhui, who was full, also went to watch Longyuan and Hurricane wine. Inside the furnace it would be a faint red, a shade between pink and rose, slightly lighter. The fruit had become jam, tumbling in the medicine oven. The sour taste of the fruit lingers in the air all the time, and it is really mouth-watering.
"How long will it take?" asked Feng Junhui.
"Just wait. Long Yuan put all the spirit grass he had picked into it, and stirred the jam in the medicine furnace with his spiritual energy. I looked at the colors and nodded with satisfaction. Because the body is a fish, Long Yuan is very dislike fire, and has been two steps away from the medicine furnace.
"Can you drink it later?"
"No, you have to ferment it, and then take it out and quench it in a medicinal furnace. "If spirit wine can be brewed so easily, then it is not called spirit wine.
Feng Junhui was reluctant to leave half a step, obviously his stomach was still full just now, and he was actually clamoring for Feng Junhui to continue to send food in.
"If you're all right, dispose of these petals. Long Yuan raised his hand and pointed to the basket that had just been filled with fruit, and a rainbow petal bridge flew out of his wide cuffs. All the petals flew into several baskets, and none of them flew to the ground. This picture is beautiful, which makes Feng Junhui look at it intently.
"What do you do with this petal?"
"You can make tea, you can make sauce. Wait, I'll give you the recipe. "Long Yuan put all the petals into those baskets. Stretched out his hand and lightly tapped Feng Junhui's forehead, and then a few recipes for processing the petals appeared in Feng Junhui's mind.
Feng Junhui subconsciously closed his eyes, thought about a few recipes in his mind, and made sure that he remembered them, so he opened his eyes: "Okay, I'll go make flower tea." There are other things to be used in this sauce, and I haven't prepared them for a while. ”
"Well, you go get it. "He doesn't like fire, even if it doesn't hurt him at all, he doesn't like fire, it's in his nature. So he asked Feng Junhui to do these things like roasting tea.
According to the method of petal tea in those recipes, the petals are washed first and then dried in the shade. The water of the petals is removed, but the color does not change, and it has to be dried in the shade where the aura circulates, and the Baicao Garden is the most suitable here. After drying, the petals are tanned and then allowed to ferment.
Like tea leaves, they are placed in a dry, oil-free pot and stir-fried by hand. You can't borrow other tools to stir-fry at all, for fear of damaging the shape of the petals, you can only stir-fry in the pot by hand. Generally, those masters who roast tea can do it, but Feng Junhui doesn't know if it can do it.
Feng Junhui went back to the village and got a few bamboo flats, bamboo products with a diameter of more than one meter. When he returned to the Hundred Herb Garden, he saw a crystal clear, jelly-like pink bridge flying in the sky. The sun shines on it, shining like a little starlight, and it looks very dreamy.
"This, this is the jam for brewing?" asked Feng Junhui with a blinking eye and disbelief.
"It's cool, it's good to decorate the altar. "The hurricane was directing the pink jelly bridge to move through the sky, as if it were taking a ride in the sky.
Thousands of pounds of fruit, in the end, only a small ten jars of jam remained, or the kind of ceramic jar that can only hold about ten catties. After the hurricane was installed, several layers of lotus leaves were covered at the mouth of the altar, and then sealed it with soil, and a dry place was found in the Baicao Garden to bury it.
"How long will this take?" Feng Junhui couldn't help but ask as he watched the hurricane finish his work, and swallowed his saliva.
"Bury it for ten days and temper it again. Hurricane looked at the place where the wine jar was buried, and waved his hand to prevent it from being destroyed.
"Oh. "It feels a little longer.
"Hurry up and get your flower tea, you won't be able to drink these wines when the time comes, so you can still drink tea to satisfy your cravings." Hurricane said.
Feng Junhui couldn't help but think of a picture, Hurricane and Long Yuan were drinking fruit wine with a strong fruity aroma and a very good taste, and he only drank a small glass, so he couldn't continue to drink it. Then he pitifully watched Hurricane and Longyuan drink, and he could only hold the faint petal tea to quench his hunger.
The picture is so beautiful, how can he break it if he wants to cry?
