Chapter 108: The Taste of the Mountains

Gritting his teeth and clenching his fists, enduring the double torture of body and spirit, Zhu Xishi finally survived the immersion of the Yin Yang Spring of the Four Sticks of Incense.

Trembling from the cold spring, Zhu Xishi took off his wet underwear, put it on the fire that Mr. Sheng Zi Jun had to bake, and hurriedly put on his cotton clothes.

After Zhu Xishi cleaned himself up, Sheng Zijun walked over from the distant pond with a fish basket, looked at Zhu Xishi, whose lips were frozen purple, and hurriedly took out a pill from his arms and handed it to her.

"Hurry up and take this 'Snow Ginseng Pill' and live the qi and blood all over your body."

"Thank you, thank you."

Shaking his hand, he grabbed the "Snow Ginseng Pill" handed over by Sheng Zijun, and stuffed it into his mouth like eating dates, and the faint sweetness rippled in his mouth, relieving the brows on her forehead.

"Miss Zhu, you're polite."

Seeing that Zhu Xi took the "Snow Ginseng Pill", Sheng Zijun was also much more relieved. Suddenly, he heard the sound of "popping" in the fish basket, Sheng Zijun seemed to remember something, and hurriedly reached into the fish basket and grabbed a live crucian carp.

"It's not too early, presumably you're hungry too, so we'll have some lunch and eat some grilled crucian carp to satisfy your hunger."

Zhu Xishi, who was relieved, turned his head to look at the fish basket, and there were still many one-inch-long crucian carp swinging in it, and his expression was quite surprised.

"Doctor Sheng, it seems that you have caught a lot."

"That's it. I'm fine on weekdays, so I like to come around here to fish and relax, which is just a small thing. ”

As soon as he talked about what he was good at, Sheng Zijun couldn't hide his eyebrows and danced, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of pride. I am about to string it with a branch of the side. stretched into the fire to roast, and was grabbed by Zhu Xishi.

"Are you just looking for a tree to string these crucian carp? Simply roasted over a fire and eaten? ”

As soon as Zhu Xishi reminded him, the smugness on Sheng Zijun's face suddenly faded. The fish was caught. But in terms of cooking, he is a complete layman, and his face can't help but show embarrassment.

"Hehe, I'm not good at this, besides, filling my stomach in this barren mountains and mountains, can I still have all the condiments like at home? Nature is a qiē from Jane. ”

"You're embarrassed, a man who doesn't touch the spring water with ten fingers. Give it all to me, according to your crude method of grilling, these fresh crucian carp caught are wasted. ”

Without saying anything more, Zhu Xishi put the crucian carp in Sheng Zijun's hand back into the fish basket and walked towards the edge of the pool behind him. Squatted down. Zhu Xi quickly plucked the golden hairpin from between his buns and began to cut the scales and fish.

Sheng Zijun, who was staring at him from the side, slowly showed approval between the corners of his mouth, and praised Zhu Xi repeatedly: "Miss Zhu really has a way." ”

"It's nothing, the children of small families are usually used to careful planning, so they naturally have a lot of ideas." The pointed golden hairpin skillfully fiddled with Zhu Xishi's hand, and with a slight stroke, the crucian carp was disemboweled, and the internal organs and intestines were cleaned out.

"That's right, Doctor Shan. Just now, when I was chopping wood in the woods, I saw a lot of yam leaves, wild fennel and houttuynia growing in it. I'll take you on a run and help me pick some. You know them all, right?! ”

"Miss Zhu said it's funny, I'm a doctor, how can there be herbs that Zijun doesn't know?! I'll go. ”

Sheng Zijun was right, but Zhu Xishi underestimated him; He smiled apologetically and turned his head. Continue to process the crucian carp in the fish basket.

It didn't take long for Sheng Zijun to fold back with a bunch of herbs that Zhu Xishi had confessed, and asked eagerly as soon as he put them beside her.

"Miss Zhu, have you seen enough?!"

I rummaged through the potato leaves, wild fennel and houttuynia that Sheng Zijun had picked. Zhu Xishi's eyebrows showed a satisfied look, and he responded: "Enough." Hard-working doctor. ”

"Why are you so polite, they all say that men and women are not tired of working together. I'm embarrassed to let you work here alone. ”

didn't continue to talk to Sheng Zijun about it, Zhu Xi picked up the potato leaves, wild fennel and houttuynia picked by Sheng Zijun, and carefully washed them in the spring water; After removing the old leaves and excess rhizomes, Zhu Xishi took a handful of wild fennel and houttuynia and twisted them into a ball and filled them into the belly of the cleaned crucian carp.

"Hand me the light salt water you brought with you."

"What?"

"Naturally, I added some salt to this crucian carp. How do you eat it without salt or taste? ”

Sheng Zijun, who suddenly realized, nodded, and hurriedly took the water hyacinth filled with light salt water and handed it to her. Zhu Xishi opened the mouth of the gourd, poured a little in the palm of his hand, evenly smeared it on the fish, and poured some into the belly of the fish filled with herbs, wrapped it in a huge potato leaf before putting it aside.

After a while, the crucian carp caught by Sheng Zijun was all processed, and Zhu Xishi walked towards the fire with the wrapped crucian carp. He used a branch to dig out a hole in the charcoal fire, put the crucian carp wrapped in yam leaves in his hand, and finally buried them with charcoal ash.

"That's a good idea, why didn't I think of it? Miss Zhu, you are really smart. ”

Sheng Zijun, who finally understood Zhu Xishi's methods, couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise on the side.

"Doctor Sheng praised it falsely, but he has more experience in dealing with firewood, rice, oil and salt than you, nothing unusual."

"It's true that the line is the champion."

When he smiled and passed Zhu Xi, he didn't think that this was anything to be proud of, and continued to support the branches to adjust the fire. Suddenly, a bitter cold wind blew aggressively, which immediately made Zhu Xishi sneeze loudly.

"Miss Zhu is okay, right? Isn't it cold?! ”

Rubbing his nose, which was a little itchy, Zhu Xishi waved his hand again and again, signaling Sheng Zijun not to worry. But Sheng Zijun didn't dare to take it lightly, and continued to say with concern.

"Don't be careless, Miss Zhu. In the future, you will have to soak in this 'yin and yang spring' every day, although one cold and one hot have a quick effect, it can easily cause wind evil to invade the body, and the symptoms of cold and heat appear. You have to pay attention, if something is wrong with your body, don't force it, and make it clear in time. ”

"Thank you Dr. Sheng for reminding me, I will."

Thinking about it, it was just the cold that he sneezed, Zhu Xishi was quite confident in his physical condition, and he didn't care much about it.

About another stick of incense time passed. Zhu Xishi estimated that the crucian carp buried under the charcoal fire was almost grilled, and softly called to Sheng Zijun beside him.

"It's ready to eat."

"I'm so hungry! The Five Organs Temple has long been out of incense. Just waiting for your words. ”

Zhu Xishi smiled faintly and carefully brushed away the charcoal fire with a branch. Suddenly a few roasted and charred potato leaf buns were revealed. Sheng Zijun, who was very greedy for a while, saw that the grilled crucian carp was freshly baked, and reached out to take it, but was stopped by Zhu Xishi's thugs.

"Be careful. There's a spark on it, it's hot! ”

Scratching the back of his head like an anxious monkey, Sheng Zijun could only wait beside Zhu Xishi with his eyes open, and the saliva in his mouth kept swallowing.

When the sparks dispersed, Zhu Xishi poked the potato leaf bag on the ground with his finger, it seemed that it was not so hot, and he informed Sheng Zijun, who was waiting next to him.

"Take it now. Look at your anxious face. ”

As soon as he heard that some of them were eaten, Sheng Zijun's expression instantly became extremely bright, and he unceremoniously grabbed the potato leaf bun on the ground, tossed it back and forth between his hands a few times, and began to peel it with his hands.

Tearing open the potato leaves on the outer layer of the grilled crucian carp, a pungent fragrance suddenly spread with the heat, revealing the white and tender fish meat, which made Sheng Zijun's saliva soar and swallow it vigorously into his stomach.

"It smells so good. Do you smell that? ”

"Smell it, what's all the fuss."

Sheng Zijun, who was happy, couldn't take care of Zhu Xishi, and immediately picked up a small lump of white and tender fish meat with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, which suddenly made Sheng Zijun's face ripple with happiness! The meat of the fish mixed with wild fennel and houttuynia cordata is smooth and fragrant. It's not fishy, and the taste is just right, it's really a rare mountain delicacy.

"It's so delicious, Miss Zhu. You really don't have to be picky about your craft, serve! ”

"Don't worry about the pleasure of talking. Crucian carp has small and many spines, so beware of getting you stuck if you're not careful. When the time comes, you will be affected. ”

Sheng Zijun, who nodded, kept sending his hand to his mouth, looking really hungry. It didn't take long for a grilled crucian carp in his hand to be wiped out, and Sheng Zijun was about to reach out to take the second one, but found that Zhu Xishi hadn't started to do it yet.

"Why don't you eat yet?"

"I'm thinking, Doctor Sheng, don't you have to explain that you have to avoid eating, and you have to listen to your instructions before eating. Can I eat this grilled crucian carp?! ”

Just picked one up in his hand, Sheng Zijun took care of it and stuffed it into Zhu Xishi's hand, and said with a satisfied expression: "Just eat, it's okay!" ”

Although eating, although these words came out of Sheng Zijun's mouth, Zhu Xishi still had some doubts, wouldn't it be another test? Still vigilantly reconfirmed.

"Can you really eat as much as you want?"

"What am I lying to you about, just eat it. The crucian carp grown in this spring water is different from the pigs, cattle and sheep that are generally eaten at home, not only will eating too much not make you lose your body, but will benefit your body; You can eat with an open appetite, and there aren't many opportunities like this! ”

Zhu Xishi, who had been confirmed, was hungry and panicked for a long time, and immediately nodded and tore open the potato leaves, and ate them a little wolfing, with an indescribable sense of happiness in his heart. You know, she hasn't had a good meal today, but now she can eat as much as she wants, so she naturally sweeps it up with an open appetite.

"Look at your eating appearance, and say that I'm not hungry and hungry."

Zhu Xishi's face turned red, and he didn't say anything to Sheng Zijun, but still buried his head in eating fish. Sheng Zijun was struggling when he saw Zhu Xi, and he was also panicked, and hurriedly grabbed three in front of him; If you compare with her Zhu Xishi, he must be willing to bow down, so he plays a clever trick and takes up some inventory first, so as not to be occupied by Zhu Xishi.

A total of 12 grilled crucian carp were wiped out in a short time by the two of them with a sense of competition!! The two of them sucked their fingers intently, glared at the fish bones all over the ground, and invariably let out a hearty laugh by the mountain spring.

"You're such a foodie!"

"You are not bad for Sheng Zijun, you can actually snatch half of the fish from me! There is potential for foodies. ”

"Concession and concession! If you don't make a profit, you can only go hungry. ”

In the cold wind, the two of them froze red to the ground, looked at each other for a moment, and laughed out loud (to be continued......
