One hundred and five, roasted fish
Xuan Ze and Xiao Bao'er whispered to others as nothing, and they were talking happily, when they heard the hearty laughter of a woman outside. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Xuan Jin asked curiously, "What are you doing outside?"
Xuan Hua said: "Wan Yanzhao volunteered to know how to fish, let us wait for her to fish for lunch today." ”
Xuan Jin didn't understand, looked out of the boat, and saw a small boat parked not far from the painting boat, Wan Yan Zhao and a few guards were holding fishing rods and laughing. "And then, what happened to her fishing?"
Wu Guo explained, "The reason why Yedu's roasted fish is delicious is because the fish here is river fish, live water fish, caught and killed, and naturally tastes good." Princess Xisu must not know what a live water fish is, thinking that she could catch fish by casting a net, but she went down all morning and didn't catch anything. ”
Xuan Hua sighed, and then said, "When she returned to the painting boat, she got angry, saying that we tricked her, and there were no fish in this water at all." In order to coax her, I asked the fishermen on the boat to catch a few on the spot with a fishing rod. She and the guards took their fishing rods and left, leaving us to wait for the fresh fish she caught. ”
Fishing is a skill, especially in the river.
The waters of Yedu are wide, and the fish species are many and mixed. If you are fishing by boat, you must choose a good fishing position, and the bait used, including the activity rules of fish in each season, must be understood, and it is not simply a matter of putting down the hook to catch fish.
Xuan Jin said: "Isn't this caught, no wonder you are smiling so happily." ”
Xuan Hua snorted coldly and said, "A person who has never had fishing experience can fish in Yedu? What she caught was not fish, but silver, silver with white flowers. It's all to blame for Wu Guo's bad idea. ”
Wu Guo, who was named, rubbed the tip of his nose and sighed: "Princess Xisu is happy, and the eldest prince will also be happy, lest she come up with any new tricks to embarrass the eldest prince." ”
Xuan Jin asked, "What bad idea do you have?"
One guest said, "He asked the boatman, who was very good at the water, to dive under the water and hang the live fish on the hook of Princess Xisu." ”
Xuan Jin stroked his palms and laughed after hearing this, "Didn't Wan Yanzhao know that the fish she caught was hung up?"
Except for Xuan Ze and Xiao Bao'er, everyone smiled tacitly. After they laughed, Yan Zhao had no brains, and anyone with brains would not treat wild fishing as child's play.
After Yan Zhao laughed at the fish stupid, the people on the painting boat laughed at Yan Zhao stupidly.
Xiao Bao'er felt something, "Brother Xuan, when I stayed in the palace, did others laugh at me like this?"
"Well, it's just that Wan Yanzhao is really stupid, you are pretending to be stupid. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Baby, we've known each other for so long, and I know very well who you are. In the past few years in the palace, you have caused countless disasters and small disasters, but which one of these disasters has really angered the Empress Dowager, or has it really hurt you? Your stupidity is just a disguise. ”
"Nonsense, I'm just stupid, but I'm well protected by you, so it's okay. ”
"Then I hope you can stay stupid, otherwise there is no place for me. ”
As the two were talking, Wan Yanzhao ran to the third floor with the guards "kicking", "I caught a lot of fish, and I have already asked people to prepare." ”
There were two women in the viewing pavilion, Xuan Jin was wearing men's clothes, but Xiao Baoer was left alone, and she became the only bright color in a group of men.
Wan Yan Zhao looked at Xiao Bao'er first, and then fixed his eyes on Xuan Ze.
"You are Qingshan-kun, you are so handsome, why haven't I seen you in Lord Song's Mansion for so many days?"
"Xuan Ze has seen the princess. ”
"No need to be polite, I heard that you like Jerubaoer very much, why?"
Everyone was waiting to see Xuanze's jokes, but he said calmly, "There is a connection in the heart, there is no reason for the love." ”
Wan Yan Zhao pointed at Xiao Bao'er and wanted to ask again, but Xuan Jin played a round, "Princess, I heard that you have caught a lot of fish, can you teach you a skill or two?"
Xiao Bao'er kept her head down, and she had no illusions about what Wan Yanzhao looked like. Their mothers are the same person, and Wan Yanzhao's appearance is definitely not bad, as for the others, I really have no intention of knowing.
She has only one fantasy about Wan Yan Zhao.
One day, she will break through the Xisu Royal City and kill Yan Zhao.
Xuan Ze sat down and asked with concern, "But it's uncomfortable?"
"I didn't even look up, so how could I be uncomfortable. ”
"Don't worry, one day I will kill Yan Zhao. There is only one baby in this world, and no woman like her should be left behind. ”
No one believed that Xuan Ze, a humble gentleman, would say such a thing, he didn't love to kill, and he wouldn't kill people for a face that was sixty percent similar to Xiao Bao'er. said this only because he understood Xiao Bao'er and knew that Wan Yan Zhao was a thorn in his chest.
Xiao Baoer pursed her lips and smiled, but tears rolled down her cheeks like pearls. She shyly covered her face with her sleeves and complained: "It's just a matter of eating other people's lipstick, this time it's hurting people to cry, it's all spent on a good face, how can I see people for a while." ”
Xuan Ze nodded approvingly, "What the baby said is that you really don't need to see people with this face, I don't want you to take away other people's souls like me." After that, he picked up Xiao Bao'er and left, leaving the room full of guests looking at each other.
Xiao Bao'er didn't dare to raise her head, and kept her head buried in Xuan Ze's arms, until the two of them went on the deck, she poked her head out and gasped.
The spring breeze rolled up the clothes of the two, blew off the flowers on the branches, and the red skirts and white clothes were entangled in the rain of petals. This situation is so beautiful that Xiao Baoer can't help but open her eyes, how much she hopes that time will stand still, Xuan Ze can hold her like this, spoil her, and spend her life.
Brother Hui found a small boat and asked with a worried face: "Childe, can you do it without a boatman?"
Xuan Ze glanced at the bamboo basket placed in the cabin, just didn't pull down Xiao Bao'er's lunch, and then think of other ways.
Xiao Baoer took the initiative to say, "I will hold the boat." ”
"You taught me that this kind of manual work should be done by men. ”
It is not difficult to hold the boat, and Xuanze will teach it. After getting away from the painting boat, without Xiao Bao'er opening his mouth, Xuan Ze knew that letting the boat float around with the river was the way they needed.
Xiao Baoer was turning over the bamboo basket, but after opening it, she could only look at the food in a daze.
"You, when you first entered the palace, you didn't love anything else, but you have a soft spot for food. Hearing Xuan Ze mention this, Xiao Bao'er said angrily, "It's all Tian Ji's fault, he misled me." ”
When a few people read together, the lunch every day was the same, and it was very bland, which was the most suitable for the taste of Mrs. Song.
One day, Xiao Baoer especially wanted to eat roast lamb shank, and the taste of scratching the heart and liver was very uncomfortable. She ran to the Imperial Garden to clear a vacant lot, and before she could put on the grill, she was discovered by the guards and reported to the Empress Dowager.
When Tian Ji heard about this, she loudly ridiculed her for not knowing anything but eating.
Another day, she endorsed in the garden, and only said: "There is a fish in the North Underworld, and its name is Kun, and Kun is big...... Kunzhi's big ......" can't think of anything later.
Tian Ji passed by and said casually: "There is a fish in the North Underworld, its name is Kun, and the Kun is so big that it can't be stewed in a pot." Turned into a bird, its name is Peng, Peng's big, it needs two barbecue grills, one is spicy, and the other is not spicy......"
Since then, Xiao Baoer has completely forgotten the original text, and in front of Mrs. Song, she only remembers Tian Ji's nonsense. Mrs. Song was so angry that she blew her beard, and the others laughed "haha......
The barbarian women of Northern Liao did not learn and did not know how to do it, and it spread at that time.
Xuan Ze was also present at the time, so he naturally knew that her interest in food was much higher than in books.
While speaking, Xuan Ze took out all the food in the basket, buckled the basket to the ground, and the ready-made table was there. He put the food back on the "table", pointed to seven or eight book-sized foods wrapped in green leaves, and asked, "I don't know how to eat it, do you?"
Xiao Bao'er nodded, she had seen banana leaves, but for the first time, she had seen food wrapped in banana leaves.
"Grilled fish is a characteristic of Yedu, which was first popular among a group of fishermen. Riverside fishing has a lot to do with the speed of the current, and anglers often bring rods to find suitable places to fish. In order to keep the food warm and easy to carry, they often wrap their food in leaves, and then find that some foods will taste very delicious when baked with leaves. ”
As he spoke, Xuan Ze opened a green banana leaf, and before he could completely open it, the aroma of the food had already enlivened his taste buds.
Xiao Bao'er said: "It smells like meat." ”
When I opened it, the diced pork belly with the smell of charcoal was lying quietly among the banana leaves, and the green banana leaves were soaked in oil and were extremely translucent.
"It's baked and then put in the banana leaves, it's very clean. ”
Xiao Bao'er stretched out her hand and grabbed it, but Xuan Ze didn't stop it, but told her, "Be careful!"
Another banana leaf wrapper was opened, and the strange smell made Xiao Bao'er wrinkle her nose, "What is this, it smells stinky." ”
"Songdi snack - stinky tofu, smells stinky and tastes good. ”
Yao Xitong can understand that he eats this, and Xuan Ze shouldn't like it.
Xiao Bao'er asked, "You will eat this too?" As expected, Xuan Ze shook his head, "I tried it, but I don't like it very much." Would you like to try it?"
"Don't. ”
Next, there are roast chicken, grilled pork ribs, and the last banana leaf bun is opened, and Xiao Baoer finally sees the delicious taste of Yedu - roasted fish.
River fish, not limited to species, catch and remove scales, gills, disembowel, and draw ladders on both sides of the fish. Control the water and spread the prepared condiments evenly on the fish and marinate for a while.
When grilling, the fish is sandwiched with slices of green bamboo along the coast of Yedu, so that the grilled fish has both the flavor of meat and the fragrance of bamboo. If you want to eat something special, you can also stuff fried minced meat or vegetables into the belly of the fish and grill it together.
Xiao Bao'er stuffed other food in front of her, and the bulging belly of the fish made people want to open it to see what was inside. She scratched her ears and cheeks for a long time without starting, and Xuan Ze on the side smiled: "I want chopsticks at this time!"
The food in the belly of the fish looks like stir-fried meat with chili peppers, but it smells sour.
Xuan Ze said that the chef used pickled peppers, so it smelled sour. Chop the sprouts and pickled peppers and stir-fry the minced pork, so that the grilled fish is crispy and fragrant, and the flavor is fresh and strong.
Xiao Bao'er sucked her fingers and looked at the roasted fish, as if she was hesitating how to eat it.
Xuan Ze magically conjured chopsticks, she reached out to take them, but Xuan Ze said, "There is only one pair of chopsticks, it seems that I have to feed you." ”
Hearing this, she opened her mouth obediently like a fledgling, and didn't wait for food, only waiting for a kiss like a raindrop in Xuanze. She turned her face away and looked directly at the roasted fish.
"How do I think food appeals to you more than I do?"
"Hungry!"
Xuan Ze sighed, and handed Xiao Bao'er a bamboo tube that was originally in the basket, "You don't like spicy food, it's best to wrap roasted fish with bamboo rice." ”
The bamboo tube with a short arm length was rummaged over and over in Xiao Baoer's hand and couldn't find where to start, Xuan Ze looked cute at her, and he didn't remind her. Until she was a little impatient and tried to break the bamboo tube with her hands.
Xuan Ze handed over the dagger. said: "The vegetation on both sides of Yedu is abundant, and there is a section full of bamboo forests. The people living nearby often cut down a section of fresh bamboo, put rice into it, add an appropriate amount of spring water, and put it on the fire pit to boil. When the rice is cooked, cut the bamboo tube into two halves, or four halves, and eat half at each end. ”
"The bamboo in the hand not only replaces the pot, but also the bowl. Well-cooked bamboo rice, the rice is soft and glutinous, and it also has a special aroma, which has a unique flavor. ”
With the knife in hand, Xiao Baoer neatly cut open the bamboo tube. The rice is round and lying in the bamboo tube, there is a translucent bamboo film on the surface, and the refreshing rice fragrance is mixed with the bamboo tube fragrance, which makes people appetizing when they smell it.
She saw that there were still a pair of bamboo chopsticks hidden on the side of the basket, and she couldn't help shouting: "You lied to me, obviously there are two pairs of chopsticks, you only say one pair." ”
"Which is more important, me or food?"
"It's all important, if you haven't eaten enough, you don't have the strength to think you're important. ”
"You, it turns out that you will cover up a little in the palace, and you have only been out for a few days and have become more and more unruly. ”
Xiao Bao'er used the bamboo tube as a bowl, and the chopsticks were inserted directly into the dishes in the belly of the roasted fish, as if she didn't hear Xuanze's complaints at all.
Xuan Ze's enthusiasm for food was as salty as ever, and after a few bites, he put down his chopsticks and began to help Xiao Bao'er pick fish bones. He said: "I know you don't like fish, but in Songdi, you can't make a table without fish, you have to learn to eat fish." I've seen a fish-eating gourmand who can put the whole fish in his mouth, and after a while he only pulls out the bones, and the finished bones ......."
Xiao Baoer didn't just listen, since she wanted to face the future with Xuanze, it was supposed to change.
The boat has been circling in the center of the river, but after a meal, I looked up and looked at the scenery again, only to see a few orange and yellow afterglows floating among the surrounding blue mountains, and before I knew it, it was dusk.
Xiao Bao'er was lazily lying on the bow of the boat drinking, and Xuan Ze found a suona out of nowhere and played it against the river scene.
In Great Xia, suona mostly appears at wedding banquets and wedding banquets. Most of the tunes are light, joyful, or exciting. Somehow, the tune that Xuan Ze blew was completely different from what Su Ri had heard, only feeling deep, low, and euphemistic.
"Baby, why are you crying? It's all my fault, this tune is too sad. ”
"Other people's sons are playing the piano, just you play suona, I'm ashamed ......"
Xuan Ze put away the suona and said lightly, "Liu Lang taught me." Chunfeng Building is the property of the Bai family, which is very valuable, and they feel that Liu Lang's poetry and future are not worth a Chunfeng Building. ”
Xiao Bao'er asked, "The Bai family wants to kill people?"
Xuan Ze was a little embarrassed to be asked, and the words "murder and silence" rarely appeared in his conversations.
