Chapter 34: Let's Stew a Pot of Snake Soup
When he returned to the Li Mansion and returned to the house to see Ah Ru, Ah Su suddenly realized that today's events seemed to be a little strange, and Fu Guyang's attitude towards An Jiuniang was not too enthusiastic, in comparison, Li Xiang was not as big as his reaction at that time.

So when Aru asked about the ins and outs of Asu's matter, Asu hid Fuguyang's anxiety about An Jiuniang's injury and even offered to help suck drug blood, and then sent her home as his own proposal, and asked tentatively, "Sister, you won't mind, right?" β
"Of course not, An Jiuniang was bitten by a snake today to teach you to ride a horse, and Brother Yang should have sent her." Aru is confident in her fiancΓ© and doesn't suspect anything.
When Asu heard this, he thought, I hope he was too worried, maybe Fu Guyang is really just warm-hearted.
Footsteps sounded outside the door, and it was He Erniang who pushed the door in.
"Asu, Erlang brought over a small burden just now, saying that he helped you deal with it, what is it, it's soft." He Erniang handed a small cloth bag to Asu as she spoke.
Aso suddenly became energetic, quickly snatched the cloth bag, and said proudly, "It's the snake that bit Sister An today, I'm going to stew it and eat it." β
"Oh, I'm a little ancestor, I need to go wash my hands quickly." He Erniang remembered that she had taken it so far just now, and she had goosebumps and hurriedly ran out to find water to wash her hands.
Asu also said with a disgusted face, "Asu, I want to eat you, and don't secretly put it in what we eat, you still say that we have a heavy taste, you are really a heavy taste." β
Aso had an expression that you didn't understand, so she went out with her cloth bag, feeling a little regretful in her heart, it was really such a delicious ingredient that no one else appreciated. I thought I would eat less for dinner, and in the evening I went to the kitchen to cook a pot of fragrant snake meat soup.
As night fell, the kitchen of the Li Mansion was re-lit with oil lamps, and at this time, this place became Aso's personal world of cooking delicious food. Aso took out the snake that had been skinned, cut the snake's body with a knife, then washed the internal organs, removed the snake's head, and married only the snake's body. Then swing the knife to cut the snake body into more than a dozen small pieces, then cut the ginger slices, and take a few pieces of fatty pork.
First put the fat pork into the pot, wait until the aroma of lard is fried, and quickly put in the snake segment and ginger slices, the Tang Dynasty didn't have a spatula, Asu found a bamboo slice instead, stir-fried a few times to get out the meat fragrance, scooped a scoop of water into it, and put a little pepper and salt into it.
There is no way, there are no chili peppers in the Tang Dynasty, so I can only make do with peppercorns. Next, let's simmer, put in some chopped green onions before cooking, and it's beautiful to think about. In the Tang Dynasty, where supplies were seriously scarce, such a simple version of snake meat soup could only be made.
While waiting, Aso sat bored on the steps of the kitchen, looking at the stars in the sky, in which era, the starry sky is really beautiful and bright, you can see the shining Milky Way, Aso was shocked by this pure and atmospheric beauty when he crossed and saw the starry sky for the first time.
Whenever she is bored, she looks at this vast starry sky, although the time and space are different, but people for thousands of years have been facing the same starry sky, but the air and light in later generations have affected it, and they can't see it so pure and clear.
"Aso." Just as Asu was looking at the starry sky in reverie, a call said that she pulled back to reality, and in a blink of an eye, a few meters away, a handsome young man stood in the moonlight, it turned out to be Li Hui, who had not seen him for several days.
After saying goodbye to Qixi Festival, although Li Hui was in the house, Aso and him had not seen him for several days. I used to go to school in the state capital, and I only came back three or four times a month, and every time he came back, whenever he remembered to come to see her, he could always meet her, either in the kitchen, or in the small garden, and even when he wanted to eat at night and came to the kitchen, he could just see her making food.
But this time, he stayed in the house because of an arm injury and didn't go out, and went to the small garden several times, but when he came to the kitchen at night, he couldn't see Asu, as if Aso was avoiding him.
This afternoon, the doctor came to help him remove the bandage on his arm, saying that the injury on his hand had healed, so he planned to go back to the state tomorrow to study, and walked here unconsciously in the evening, but he didn't expect to see Aso again.
"Brother Hui." Asu saw him and quickly stood up, how could he meet him again at this time, in order to avoid seeing him in the past few days, he didn't come to the kitchen, and he didn't even go to the small garden, if it weren't for this snake, I'm afraid he wouldn't have come today.
Seeing that there was no bandage on his arm, he thought that the injury should be healed, and then remembered that his injury was also caused by himself, but he deliberately avoided him because of the words of the servant coral, and for a while, he felt a little guilty.
"What's delicious now?" Li Hui pointed to the kitchen, and at this time, the smell of meat was already wafting out.
"This is indeed a good thing, but no one here dares to eat it except me." After Asu finished speaking, he looked at Li Hui again, and asked with some expectation, "Brother Hui, do you dare to eat snakes?" β
Li Hui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "It turned out to be snake meat, I have read "Huainanzi? Spiritual Training", it is said: The more people get the bearded snake and think it is the best food, and the Chinese get it and abandon it is useless. Since there are Yue people who call it a delicacy, I think that there must be something unique, and I want to try it. β
"It's still Brother Hui's knowledge." Asu's heart warmed when he heard it, it was better to have someone to share the review with than to enjoy the delicious food alone, not to mention that this person was him.
"It's just that, Asu, I'm curious, how did you get this snake?" Li Hui really couldn't believe that it was Aso who went to catch a snake himself.
Speaking of this, Asu felt that it was not clear in three or two sentences, and seeing that the snake soup should have to be boiled for a while, he beckoned Li Hui to sit at the foot of the kitchen steps and began to tell him the story of this day.
