Chapter 61: The Joy of Cooking

The bet sounded tempting, and she was more curious than if he had something to eat for her, and what was it that he didn't have to weigh up.

After thinking about it, she nodded.

The bet was reached, and the two sat back on the stone to fish quietly, and after two quarters of an hour, Hui Mei glanced at Su Miao, and said coldly:

"Even if I made the bet, you'd be too bad to stomp your foot when my fish bites, right?"

Su Miao was even more cheeky than he imagined, turned his head slowly, and asked innocently:

"What? Yes! The fish is hooked! She suddenly jumped up and pulled the fishing rod hard, and a small fish about three inches long was caught from the water, throwing her a splash, Su Miao's heart was half cold, staring at the small fish and muttering in disgust, "It's so small!" ”

Looking at her bulging face, I couldn't help but laugh lightly.

Su Miao felt that she was being ridiculed, and glared at her, glaring angrily.

Aftertaste suddenly pulled his fishing rod, only to hear a loud noise, and another big fish weighing one pound was pulled up and fluttered the ground!

How can he always catch big fish?

Su Miao glanced at his fishing rod, this fishing rod was given to him by her, her fishing rod was obviously better than his, could it be that he had the physique to attract fish? Unable to figure it out, she snorted and turned her head to continue fishing.

Looking back at her unwilling expression, he smiled again, paused, but suddenly realized that he had laughed too many times, and after realizing this, he suddenly felt embarrassed and embarrassed mixed with strange feelings in his heart, and half-lowered his eyes to calm his expression, and continued to fish in the waterhole.

When the sunset is westerly. Su Miao used a basket of three-inch small fish to fight against a basket of big fish with an average of one catty, and narrowly won by one of them.

"I won!" She was so proud that her nose seemed to be getting longer.

Looking back at her proud appearance. I couldn't help laughing, but after being slightly stunned, I quickly retracted my smile, and I didn't break my promise, picked out a few big fish from the fish basket, walked to the water's edge and cleaned them up with the dagger I carried with me, and found coriander, camellia, sage and other common wild vegetables that have never been lacking on Heshan from the lush weeds in the mountains. It is mainly composed of fragrant spices, all of which are torn up and stuffed into the belly of the fish, and two small mushrooms are also placed. The fish is then wrapped in a large leaf. Then use the mixed mud to coat the whole fish wrapped in leaves.

Build a stove on the flat ground with large stones, the stove should be in such a way that the mudfish can always be on the top of the fire, and then collect firewood to light the fire and put the mudfish on the fire to grill. After the mud was burned red. Burn it for another quarter of an hour or so. Take the mud fish out of the fire, let it cool naturally, knock off the mud that has dried up and solidified on the surface, and remove the large leaves on the inner layer, and a fresh fragrance mixed with the fresh and refreshing taste of green leafy plants will slowly rush in with the heat, refreshing the spleen.

Holding it with a leaf, he handed a grilled fish to Su Miao, who was sitting next to him and stared at the fire with a surprised expression.

Su Miao took the grilled fish, and the grilled fish wrapped in mud was similar to that of a flower chicken. If the ingredient is fish, it is probably called flower fish, but the method of adding spices and wild vegetables to the belly of the fish is very strange. Would the fish be good if it was grilled without salt and any seasonings and only by the fragrant taste of green leaf spices, with such curiosity, she took a bite.

A clear fragrance of warm sunshine, moist blue water and tranquil nature spreads softly between the lips and teeth, guiding the delicious taste unique to fish and tickling the taste buds. Because the belly of the fish is filled with spices such as coriander, it is roasted by the heat of the fire, and the fragrance permeates the fishy smell of the fish itself. Because there is no salt, the natural light spices make the flavor of the fish more intense than any previous fish dish. The slightly sweet and mellow flavor of the fish itself, with a slightly charred skin and a crispy and smooth inside, melts in your mouth, and is the opposite of the delicate food you can cook in the kitchen. The pure natural, fresh, sweet, light but fragrant fragrance brings people a kind of physical and mental relaxation and wants to get closer to the green mountains and green waters at dusk.

"Is it delicious?" He asked, looking at her with a hint of anticipation.

Su Miao nodded, thought about it and smiled:

"There's a feeling of going back to basics, the taste of nature, and I should say that nature is the feeling of this taste, which is very special. I've seen people grill fish in the mountains with local ingredients, but I've never tried it, this is the first time. It's really strange that the young master would cook such a wild dish! ”

Aftertaste used a small wooden stick to stir the fire, half-lowered his eyes, smiled with a hint of nostalgia, and whispered:

"My father liked to bake and eat, he loved to hunt and go to various places, and he often stayed overnight in the mountains and forests, so he came up with this method of tooth sacrifice, whether it was pheasant, rabbit or fish, anything, and in this way, even without salt, it had a unique flavor. My mother said that you can't always eat meat and eat more vegetables, so she put wild vegetables and mushrooms in it and roasted them, and the taste of the food was not bad. There are no prepared spices, only freshly taken from hand, and the flavor is always the most suitable for the scenery at that time. When I was a child, my father used to take me to the mountains to hunt, and I used to eat this every time, so the first dish I learned to cook was this. ”

Su Miao looked at his slightly complicated and melancholy face, was stunned, and couldn't help but ask carefully:

"Your father, could it be that he is dead?"

This time it was Aftertaste's turn to be stunned and shook his head: "No, he's at home." ”

Su Miao's face was embarrassed: "Then why are you using a nostalgic tone?" I thought you were like me! ”

Miss?

For a moment, a certain point in the depths of his heart seemed to be pierced by this simple word, although it had little impact, but it was indeed pierced, he was silent for a while, and smiled casually:

"You think too much, I don't feel that way."

Su Miaoliu raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at him for a while, but didn't say anything, seeing that he just roasted and didn't eat, she asked while eating fish:

"Why don't you eat it?"

"You don't like to eat?" He looked up at her and asked.

Su Miao shook his head, looked at his face that was slightly red by the firelight, paused, and said softly:

"You still can't eat it?"

The action of stirring the fire stopped, and the aftertaste was silent for a moment, and nodded.

Su Miao thought about it for a long time, wanted to say something, but didn't say anything, shook the grilled fish in his hand and smiled at him and said:

"This one is delicious!"

The aftertaste was slightly stunned, looking at her smiling face, and involuntarily smiled lightly.

At this moment, there was a faint sound of a puppy barking, although it was covered by the gurgling sound of water, Su Miao heard it at the tip of her ear, was stunned, and asked aftertaste:

"Did you hear the puppy barking?"

"How can there be a dog in the mountains!" Aftertaste laughs at her nervousness.

"I heard that!" Su Miao said, listened attentively for a moment, put down the grilled fish in his hand, stood up and walked towards the dense forest on the left.

Seeing that she left without saying a word, I was not at ease and hurriedly followed her. The two of them walked through the woods for a while, and now they even heard the aftertaste, saying that it was a dog barking but it was a little more shrill than a normal dog barking, and a young voice like this sounded like the cub of some kind of beast. If the mother beast thinks that they are bad people who want to hurt the cubs, they will definitely attack indiscriminately, and they are trying to persuade Su Miao not to go forward, but when he saw Su Miao's eyes lit up, he ran straight towards the big pit that could fall into a person on the grass in front of him, lay on the ground and looked down, and greeted him excitedly:

"Come and see, there are puppies here!"

Aftertaste walked over and stood beside her, looked down into the hole, a slender thing with a long hair and a big tail was curled up in the hole and trembling and wailing, seeing someone come and raise his head, a pair of black bean-like eyes were straight and straight, and the wailing was louder, it was indeed a cub Yes:

"It's a fox, not a dog."

"Huh? Aren't foxes red or white? ”

"The coat color of young foxes is not obvious, and when they grow up, they will turn red."

Su Miao nodded suddenly, and then looked at the fox in the cave:

"This hole was dug by a hunter, but luckily there was no trap in it, otherwise it would have died." Without waiting for an aftertaste, he slid into the cave like a monkey along the side wall of the cave!

The little fox is relatively young, and it doesn't know how to avoid humans, and just wants to instinctively jump up and bare its teeth as a warning, Su Miao has already picked up the fur on the back of its neck and ignored its struggles to hold it in her arms. Looking back at her heroic and fearless behavior, she twitched her eyebrows, but saw her holding the fox in her arms and raising her neck to look at the entrance of the cave, and then said a sentence that hindsight:

"Ah, I can't go up!"

After hearing the words, he almost slipped his foot into the hole, and slapped his forehead speechlessly.

"Little Taste, pull me up!" She screamed in the cave.

Aftertaste looked at her speechlessly, but luckily he brought the fishing rod, stretched it down for her to hold and pull her out of the hole, and when she rose to the hole and almost broke it, he grabbed her by the collar and lifted her up and laid her firmly on the ground.

Su Miao didn't understand the speechless mood at this time, and let go of the little fox with a smile and let it go to find its mother. The little fox was freed and slipped into the woods next to it. Su Miaohe returned to the waterhole and continued to grill the fish, not wanting to be more than half an hour later, there was a strange rustling sound in the grass next to her, and the little fox actually came out and stared at her with a pair of black bean-like eyes...... Grilled fish in your hands.

Su Miao was slightly stunned, broke a piece of fish meat and threw it to it, the little fox sniffed for a while, and ate it hungrily.

At this time, Su Miao and Huiwei both realized that this little fox might be a cub that had lost its mother or gone away, otherwise it would not have been possible to not see the mother fox for so long, and let it go home and it ran back.

"Xiao Weiwei, even the little fox likes the fish you baked!" Su Miao saw that the little fox quickly ate up the fish, licked her mouth and continued to look at the grilled fish in her hand, bent her eyebrows and smiled, and threw half of it over.

Aftertaste looked at her, this counts...... A pat on the back? (To be continued......)
