The four of them sat down under a small tree next to the road, and Aso spread out the wrapping cloth that wrapped the food box, and opened the food box on top, and today she brought a variety of steamed small pastries. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

These pastries are boiled with mint water first, and then Aso makes the mint water boiled into the pastry, and the snack has a refreshing feeling in the mouth, which is perfect for eating in summer. An Jiuniang praised them after tasting them.

Just as they were savoring the sweetness and coolness brought by the pastries, they didn't know that the aroma of the food also attracted danger in the depths of the grass, and there was a sudden "rustling" sound in the grass. ”

But An Jiuniang was sitting on the side of the grass shaking at this time, and when the lightning was shining, An Jiuniang just got up and said, "Ah! With a bang, his right hand shook vigorously and threw out a big snake with a yellow pattern on a black background, and Fu Guyang and Aso hurried over. On the other side, Li Xiang picked up the bow and arrow casually, and shot out with an arrow, hitting the snake's body, and the danger was instantly lifted, but An Jiuniang's hand was bitten by this thing.

"Sister An, was your hand bitten by a snake?"

"An Jiuniang, let me see your hands."

Asu and Fuguyang surrounded An Jiuniang, both of them anxiously asked to check the situation, An Jiuniang stretched out her hand, and at the mouth of the tiger on her slender white hand, there was an obvious tooth mark, and there was a trace of blood oozing, which made Asu's heart tighten.

"Look at this snake, what kind of snake is this? I can't remember where I've seen it, but it shouldn't be poisonous. Li Xiang walked over with a dead snake.

"I don't know, I'm afraid of poison, if An Jiuniang doesn't mind, let me help you suck out the poisonous blood." Fu Guyang glanced at the snake, and he couldn't judge it, afraid that it was a poisonous snake that hurt An Jiuniang, so he offered to help her suck poisonous blood.

An Jiuniang was both anxious and a little overwhelmed at this time, Asu took a closer look at his expression and relaxed, and said to An Jiuniang, "Sister An, don't worry, this snake is not poisonous, I have not only seen this snake before, but also eaten it, we call it cauliflower snake there." You can see that it has yellow flowers on a black background, like rape flowers. ”

Saying this, everyone suddenly relaxed, but looked at her with an incredulous face, Aso said she had eaten? This Asu really didn't lie to them, Aso is a southerner in modern times, and snake meat is a rare delicacy over there.

"It's true, this snake can be eaten, so let's do it, second cousin, you peel the snake skin, I'll take it back and boil the snake soup for you to eat." Asu hasn't eaten snake meat for a long time, not to mention how delicious the snake meat stew is, saying dragon meat in the sky and snake meat on the ground.

But who knew that the three of them waved their hands after hearing this idea, and An Jiuniang still had a complicated expression of gagging. It is said that eating snake meat, whether it is ancient or modern, is popular in the southern region, and Shuofang, which is located in the northwest border, has not had the habit of eating snake meat from ancient times to the present.

"Asu, I can help you skin the snake, but eat, let's forget it, you can keep it for yourself." Li Xiang also had to admire Asu, eating snakes? It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.

Fu Guyang looked at An Jiuniang's hand and was a little uneasy, so he was afraid of any accident when he rode back alone, so he suggested, "Although it is a non-venomous snake, after all, it has a wound, so you still have to go home quickly and apply some medicine." An Jiuniang, I'll follow you on horseback and escort you back later. Asu, you can go back with your second cousin. After speaking, he glanced at Asu and Li Xiang.

"Thank you Gorou for your kindness, this little injury is not in the way, I don't dare to bother the servant Gorou to send it." An Jiuniang felt that Fugu Wulang was already a person with a marriage contract, so she sent herself home for fear that he Aru would know that she had an idea in her heart, so she hurriedly excused herself.

"Sister An, I also think that you should have someone to send it, your hands are bleeding after all, I'm really sorry today, if you didn't come out to teach me to ride a horse, you wouldn't have been injured." Aso lowered his head with self-reproach.

An Jiuniang walked over intimately and touched Asu's head, "How can I blame you, no one wants to, you can help me eat that biting thing to vent my anger and revenge." After speaking, he couldn't help but smile again, "I really can't see it, a little girl, she dares to eat snakes." ”

Li Xiang walked over and also persuaded, "An Jiuniang, you can let Brother Fugu give him a ride, it's not in the way, he's fine anyway." Thank you for teaching my cousin to ride a horse today. Then he touched Aso with his arm, "Don't blame yourself, follow me home, I'll put the snake in your bag." ”

After Asu Yi was reluctant to thank An Jiuniang a few times, he was dragged away by Li Xiang, leaving Fu Guyang and An Jiuniang, An Jiuniang watched Fu Guyang insist on not leaving, and insisted on sending her, so he no longer shirked.

Fu Guyang carefully helped her onto the horse, and then jumped on the horse by himself, holding the reins from behind, so that he seemed to be riding a horse around An Jiuniang. In this posture, how many people made An Jiuniang a little embarrassed, but she didn't know what to say.

Considering that An Jiuniang was injured and Fu Guyang's speed of riding a horse was not fast, in order to avoid embarrassment, he took the initiative to chat with An Jiuniang about playing polo.

An Jiuniang recalled her life in Longyou, Fu Guyang talked about her days in her hometown outside the Saiwai, An Jiuniang talked about how she and her brothers learned to ride horses and play polo, and Fu Guyang also recalled that his eldest brothers took him to ride horses and shoot arrows.

After a few topics, the two of them felt that they could chat and resonate, after all, their fathers were generals in the army, and both of them were descendants of foreigners who entered the Central Plains, and they both had several elder brothers. The similar family environment and background gave them a lot of common topics.

It is said that the speculators chatted about the day, and the time passed very quickly, and before the words were finished, the two came to the gate of the Jiedu Embassy.

Fugu Huaien got off the horse first, and then continued to help An Jiuniang get off the horse, An Jiuniang's attentive care of him couldn't help but feel a little turbulent, but it's a pity that he is already engaged, otherwise such a character and family background can really be considered deeply. can't help but envy Aru for having such a kind and considerate future husband.

When the two of them got off the horse and were about to say goodbye, they were a little stunned, and they didn't know what to say for a while, Fugu Goro just looked at An Jiuniang in his heart but had a lot of thoughts, since the first time they met on the polo field, An Jiuniang left a deep impression on him, especially on the court, and dealt with it in time to avoid him from colliding accidents, but now he is engaged, and he can only sigh in vain.

In the face of Aru, in fact, Fugu Goro has always been pushed forward, and he has never understood whether he really likes or loves Aru.

But after talking to An Jiuniang twice, An Jiuniang gave him a completely different feeling, he admired her, her heroic posture, her ancient way of warmth, chatting with her seemed that time passed quickly, and he was very anxious to see her injured.

And Aru, not so much love as pity, weak, gentle and lovely, makes people feel pity.

"Thank you for your warm send-off today." An Jiuniang looked at Fu Guyang and looked at herself silently, and hurriedly spoke to break the atmosphere that was a little subtle at first.

"I wish I had known you earlier." Fu Guyang suddenly said stupidly, An Jiuniang looked up and was startled.

"Oh, nothing, I'm going back." Fu Guyang knew that he was speechless, so he quickly turned his head, made a salute and rode away on horseback. Leaving An Jiuniang standing there slightly stunned. Why not, if we met before Fu Guyang got engaged, I'm afraid it would really be the beginning of another story, and now, they can only be good friends. An Jiuniang sighed secretly.

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?" ”

"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 fiancé 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." ”

"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." ”

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.
