Chapter 55: Rabbit Legs
Their division of labor is very clear, their movements are also very sharp, and the shelves they build are more professional than those built by Qian Tong, at a glance, they know that they often walk outside, Hu Yi and others have basically finished the work, watching the bonfire rise Liu Xuan is busy boiling porridge, Qian Tong is a little gloomy.
He didn't have anything he could do to help.
Just when he was gloomy, he saw Liu Xuan looking back and smiling at him: "Qian Tong, go wash two yams, and by the way, peel the skin carefully, those skins will itch when touched." ”
The smile was so brilliant that it swept away the slightest hint of Qian Tong, and he answered loudly, took the yam and walked towards the river.
When I was by the river, I happened to meet Hu San who was cleaning up the hare, and Hu Er who was scraping fish scales, the three of them met by the river and nodded as a greeting, Qian Tong washed the yam and suddenly became extremely grateful to Steward Hu, if it weren't for his father-in-law, he would not do things for a woman with a man like Hu Yi and others in his life.
He was not at all ashamed of being a slave of a woman, but rather an indescribable pride.
After a while, the three of them had finished washing and returned to the camp with the ingredients in their hands.
Liu Xuan cut the yam into small pieces and threw them into the porridge pot, then skewered a few fish on a rack and grilled them, she cut a quarter of the rabbit meat for later use, and grilled the remaining rabbits on a bonfire.
The sky gradually darkened, and soon the crescent moon hung on the treetops, and Liu Xuan's camping camp also began to float a burst of fragrance, the golden fish and rabbit have been roasted, the attractive color and thick aroma have stimulated everyone's taste buds, at this time the yam porridge is also boiled, thick and crystal porridge looks very delicious under the light of the bonfire.
Liu Xuan asked Qian Tong to withdraw the porridge pot, and set up an iron pot to prepare for stir-frying, what she wanted to fry was one of Yipinxiang's signature dishes, stir-fried rabbit.
After a while, the rabbit was fried, a plate of fried rabbit, six grilled fish, and a plate of roast rabbit were placed in the open space next to the bonfire, Liu Xuan and Qian Tonghu sat on the ground, and the six of them each put a bowl of yam porridge and began to eat.
Needless to say, Liu Xuan's cooking taste is self-evident, the yam porridge is spleen-strengthening and appetizing, and a large pot of porridge has bottomed out in a short time, and when Hu Yi was about to go to Sheng again, he found that it was gone, he turned around and sat down, and quietly hid a rabbit leg.
After everyone finished eating, Liu Xuan asked everyone to wash and put away the cooking utensils, and the difference between the quick skills when preparing the meal was that the tiger two, the tiger, the tiger, the tiger and the four were a little slow, Liu Xuan naturally didn't pay attention to these, and after bringing things away, he chatted with Qian Tong for a while, and then went to sleep.
took Liu Xuan and Qian Tong to sleep, and the two tigers, the three tigers and the four opened their eyes together, their faces were slightly bitter, broken, and they forgot about their heads.
Hu Yi smiled, and took a rabbit leg out of nowhere, and Hu Yi and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Hu Yi came to a tree by the lake, and just stood firmly, he heard Long Yi's slightly cold voice: "Miss Six's craftsmanship is even loved by His Royal Highness, and you guys eat well." ”
Hu Yi smiled and handed the rabbit leg over, Long Yi looked at it and then took it: "Among the four, you still remember me." He bit the rabbit leg and chewed it in his mouth, and after a while, a rabbit leg was gone, he wiped his mouth and said to the tiger: "Tomorrow I will leave some for everything, and the master let you show up, but he clearly ordered me to protect it secretly, which is really cheap for you boys." ”
Hu Yi hurriedly explained that today was a pure mistake, and he would definitely keep everything for Long Yi tomorrow and bring it over, and Long Yi expressed his satisfaction and waved his hand to let him go back.
Liu Xuan and his entourage went all the way north out of Rongcheng, on the way through the town on the way to take a day to bathe, change clothes and buy goods, walked for about seven or eight days and finally out of Shu, originally according to Liu Xuan's plan is to go all the way north after going out of Shu, by land to the capital, Huyi and others are not very agreeable.
Hu Yi very euphemistically expressed that it takes too much time to take the land route, so it is better to go to Hanzhong by water to Hanyang, and then from Hanyang to Hangzhou, and from Hangzhou to the capital by water.
Although it is necessary to rest and transfer in Hanyang and Hangzhou on the way, the speed is much faster than taking the land route, and it took them seven or eight days to get out of Shu alone, and it would take more than two months to reach the capital by land.
Liu Xuan agreed after listening, not because the waterway is faster, but because the waterway will pass through Hangzhou, when she first looked at the Hangzhou gazetteer, Liu Xuan was full of yearning for Hangzhou, she always wanted to see if the prosperity and beauty of Suzhou and Hangzhou were the same as the gazetteer.
Although the road in Shu is inconvenient, but you have the name of the country of abundance in the wind and rain, after going out of Shu, it seems to be depressed a lot, and when it is close to Hanzhong, it begins to flourish again, and the name of the small Jiangnan in Hanzhong is well deserved.
Because they had to take the waterway, Hu Yi and the others did not hide in the dark as in the past, but dressed up as guards and accompanied them, Liu Xuan and Qian Tong also took off their cloth clothes and changed into gauze skirts and brocade robes, Qian Tong said that he would not pretend to be brother and sister with Liu Xuan anymore, and only recognized him as her housekeeper, so they resumed their identities and acted under Liu Xuan's real name.
It's just that Liu Xuan still wears beeswax on her face every day, and although she is a gauze skirt, she still looks delicate and thin.
When they arrived in Hanzhong, they found a better inn to rest, because they were not familiar with the money pass in Shu, so they arranged the itinerary by Hu Yi and others, Hu Yi went to the dock to buy a ferry ticket after lunch, and when he came back, he saw Liu Xuan on the second floor hooking his neck and looking at the other side of the corridor.
Following Liu Xuan's gaze, two men were playing chess in the corridor on the second floor opposite.
The two men are handsome in appearance, and they don't look like people from the land of Hanzhong, but they have the taste of Jiangnan talents.
Liu Xuan has been walking in the deep mountains and old forests, until Hanzhong did not feel a little popular, she already loves chess, and now when she sees someone playing chess, she can't help but hook her neck to watch, she is looking at it energetically, but the two people she is looking at are becoming more and more uncomfortable.
One of the men couldn't help but get up and salute Liu Xuan with a fist: "This girl, presumably you are also a chess lover to watch the game here for a long time, but you are so far away from each other, the two of us really can't concentrate, if you don't give up and come to watch the chess, okay?" ”
Hu Yi just wanted to open his mouth to stop Liu Xuan, but saw that Liu Xuan had already responded with joy on his face and went to that side.
Hu Yi immediately stepped upstairs to Liu Xuan's side and said, "Miss's ferry ticket has been bought, and it will depart from the pier the day after tomorrow." ”
Liu Xuan nodded to indicate that he understood, his eyes stared at the chessboard and did not move, the man who originally opened his mouth to invite Liu Xuan held the sunspot and fell, and smiled at Liu Xuan friendly: "What a coincidence, the two of us are also the ship of the day after tomorrow, I don't know where the young lady is going." ”
Liu Xuan looked at the chess seriously and replied casually: "Hanyang." ”
