3. Heavenly dragon meat
Ning Xi threw the basket full of clothes under the tree and walked quickly towards his secret base, but the atmosphere in the forest today was really a bit strange, and the closer Ning Xi walked, the more depressed he felt, and he couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart.
Kankan approached the edge of the forest, and suddenly heard a scolding: "What people! A figure with a long knife jumped out and scared Ning Xi half to death, not to mention the peaceful era of the previous life, even after wearing here, it was the first time she saw a person with a weapon on her body, and she was so fierce and vicious, her first reaction was to encounter a robbery.
"Don't kill me, if you want money, I can give it to you." Ning Xi hurriedly expressed his position.
"What nonsense! No idlers are allowed to approach here today, so hurry up and go away! The man said angrily.
"But ......" Ning Xi thought that his entire wealth was still in the abandoned kiln in the forest, and he couldn't help but look inside a few more times worriedly.
"What are you looking at, if you don't want to lose your head, hurry up!"
"Oh!" Ning Xi shrunk his neck, and suddenly saw a familiar person out of the corner of his eye, and waved happily, "Brother Qingshan, here!" β
Qingshan walked over: "It turned out to be Ning Xiaomei, our master is hunting in this forest today, you better not hang around here, let's go!" β
"Hunting? What do you call? "Since the concept that animals here can't be eaten, Ning Xi has never thought that there is such a thing as hunting here.
"Eat!" Qingshan God mysteriously told SΓΉ Ningxi, "Don't say you really don't know, our owner, this distinguished guest, is cute and eats meat, you haven't eaten the wild roe deer meat on this mountain, it's very fragrant!" β
"Have you eaten it?" Ning Xi was extremely surprised.
Qingshan shook his head regretfully: "No, I have smelled the fragrance of stewed meat, and I stewed it with those dried shiitake mushrooms of yours, but unfortunately, those of us who are subordinates have no chance to taste it." β
"This meat can be eaten, and it won't poison people?"
"Haha, who told you that you can't eat meat, it's just that you think it's fishy and don't like to eat it."
"There is such a thing!" Ning Xi was completely stunned, she had never felt like she was a big fool like now, and she would actually believe in the fallacy that the flesh of any animal is poisonous.
"Beware!" Suddenly, he heard Qingshan's exclamation, and before Ning Xi could react, a sharp arrow whistled past his ear, "Duh! With a thud, he pinned a wild bird firmly to the trunk of a tree beside him.
"Wyvern!" Ning Xi forgot his fear for a while, and pointed to the wild bird on the arrow in surprise and said, "This is a flying dragon!" "This wild bird has a huge breast and a long and curved neck bone, like a keel, and its legs are short and feathered, and its claws are scaly, just like dragon claws.
"Flying Dragon Bird" scientific name hazel chicken, since ancient times is a famous dish, known as one of the "eight treasures", Ningxi in modern times is also eaten, but it is artificially raised, although the taste is delicious but always regrettable, now she finally saw the live wild "flying dragon bird", how can you not be excited?
Qingshan didn't know why, and responded blankly: "Oh! β
"This is the best delicacy, as the saying goes, the dragon meat in the sky and the donkey meat on the ground, the dragon meat refers to this flying dragon meat! Qingshan, look at who brought down this bird, can you discuss it with him and give it to me? "The temptation of delicious food is fatal, and the excited Ning Xi has long forgotten his identity as a poor egg.
"Whew!" I only heard a chuckle, "It's small, but it's really not small!" The one who spoke was the beautiful man he had met by the river earlier, still sitting in a wheelchair, handing his bow and arrow to the waiter beside him.
"You hit this?" Ning Xi was very skeptical that his thin little body could pull the big bow in front of him.
"Presumptuous!" Someone drew a knife towards Ningxi.
The beautiful man waved his hand to make the man retreat: "Hearing you say this flying dragon bird so well, I am very interested in tasting it." β
Ning Xi's eyes rolled: "Although the flying dragon is delicious, if it falls into the hands of mediocre people who don't know how to cook, it will only spoil this rare delicacy." β
"Then what do you mean ......"
"Let me do it! It is guaranteed to bring out the deliciousness of the dragon meat to the fullest. "The rare ingredients made Ning Xi's hands itch.
"Can you do it?" The beautiful man looked at this obviously underage little girl with suspicious eyes.
"Of course! If not, you're left to the table! Ning Xi raised his head and raised his flat little chest high.
"Okay, then let you try!"
"Lord, beware of deceit."
"It's okay!" The beautiful man waved his hand, asked people to take down the flying dragon and hand it to Ning Xi, and instructed Qingshan, "You look at her." β
"Ning Xiaomei, do you really know how to do it?" Aoyama asked worriedly.
Ning Xi looked at him gratefully: "Brother Qingshan, don't worry. He said and looked around.
"What are you looking for?"
"Found it!" Ning Xi happily ran over and plucked a few wild onions, "That's it, the flying dragon meat is extremely delicious without adding any condiments, but this minced wild onion can better stimulate the delicious taste of the flying dragon, which can be described as a perfect match." β
Ning Xi borrowed the dagger on Qingshan's body and quickly disemboweled, the technique was extremely skillful, Qingshan, who had been worried all the time, was relieved when he saw this, and he couldn't see that this Ning Xiaomei also had two brushes!
In less than a moment, the flying dragon meat has been processed, and Ning Xi took the hanging pot used to cook the soup to the stream and scrubbed it cleanly: "The pot for making soup can't be stained with a little oily, otherwise the umami of the flying dragon soup will be greatly reduced, if you don't know, use oil or soy sauce to marinate the flying dragon meat, then the umami will be lost." β
Aoyama didn't know how to cook, so he just nodded again and again.
The washed hanging pot is put on the fire to boil water, Ning Xi sprinkles the snow-white salt powder on the flying dragon meat, and when the water boils, he holds the flying dragon in one hand, and keeps scooping up the boiling water with a spoon and pouring it on the flying dragon meat with the other hand, and rotates the flying dragon meat while pouring it, and every spoonful of boiling water is poured down, and everyone next to him can smell a delicious fragrance in the steaming white gas.
When it is scalded to six minutes cooked, then put the whole flying dragon meat into the pot, then sprinkle in the minced wild onion, roll it in two, and immediately remove it from the fire.
Seeing that the water of this flying dragon soup was crystal clear, the flying dragon meat was white and delicate, and the beautiful man's face was also full of appreciation, Ning Xi was happy, and first filled a bowl to hand to him, but before he got close, he was stopped: "You try it first." β
Ning Xi understood, this was to ask her to test the poison, and she was not polite at the moment, she blew and took a sip, the wonderful taste lingered on the tip of her tongue, refreshing people's hearts and spleens, making people reluctant to swallow, pure wild flying dragon soup, the taste was really extraordinary.
Seeing her show an extremely intoxicated expression, the beautiful man couldn't help it, and hurriedly called someone to serve the soup up, but poor Ning Xi didn't have time to take a second sip, and someone snatched the bowl: "Okay, it's none of your business, go down!" β
"Hey, I haven't finished eating yet!" Ning Xi hurriedly said.
Qingshan hurriedly worked with others to drag her down, for fear that she would accidentally say something that would anger the Lord.
"How so!" Ning Xi leaned on a tree trunk boredly, slandering those privileged classes who don't take people seriously, regretfully thinking that he hadn't even eaten a piece of flying dragon meat, this flying dragon was alert by nature, ordinary people were not so easy to beat, and I don't know if there will be a chance to eat it again in the future.
But these little animals all over the mountains can be eaten! Thinking like this, Ning Xi seemed to see delicious dishes jumping in front of him, and couldn't help laughing again, he won't be hungry anymore in the future, long live!
"What are you thinking, your saliva is going to fall. The Lord told you to go, come quickly, by the way, be careful when you speak. Aoyama looked at her amusedly.
"Oh!" Ning Xi followed inexplicably, as if the people here were very afraid of this so-called "master", but Ning Xi felt that he was not so terrible except that he looked down on people a little!
"You grew up in this village?"
"yes!" Ning Xi didn't know what he was asking for, did he check the household registration?
"As far as I know, the villagers here never eat meat, but I don't know where you learned about the recipe of this flying dragon meat, and the name of the dish you said earlier by the river, how did you know it?" The beautiful man asked slowly.
"Huh?" Ning Xi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, his brain spun rapidly, and in his panic, he only thought of an excuse, "The little girl's father is doing business abroad, and I learned about it from my father's letter. "Suddenly, I was extremely grateful to my father, who had never met him who made a lot of money in the city.
"Hmm." Fortunately, the man did not continue to ask, and his voice changed: "I just heard that the craftsmanship is so good, it seems that you are good at cooking, I wonder if you are willing to go back with me and work in the kitchen?" β
There was a gasping sound all around, it seemed that she never expected her master to say such a thing, and what was even more surprising was that Ning Xi actually shook her head and refused, she would open her own restaurant and develop her own career in the future, but she was not willing to be a slave in someone else's house. What's more, the lie he told was originally very untenable, and now he is no longer entangled, he really wants to get along for a long time, and one day he will show his feet.
The beautiful man didn't get angry, but said with a little regret: "Okay, since you're reluctant, forget it, let's go!" β
When the little figure walked away, a figure flashed behind the man: "Lord, this little girl is suspicious, do you need subordinates to ......?"
"No, she has no ill will."
Ning Xi naturally didn't know that she had almost turned around at the Ghost Gate, and seeing that it was almost noon, she had to hurry back to make lunch, otherwise the eldest aunt would definitely not be able to spare her.
Back in the village, Ning Xi found that many people were happy, hurried to the head of the village, and curiously grabbed a child passing by: "Ergouzi, is there any happy event in the village?" Why is everybody going there? β
The second dog replied cheerfully: "The believer is back!" Hey, don't pull me, I have to go and see if my uncle in the city has brought something back. β
Believers? What the hell is this? Ning Xi looked at the happy villagers suspiciously.
