Chapter 562: Don't cry for the baby
"Protect the Hou Ye~"
At the moment when the bowstring sounded, several guards immediately drew out their big swords and crossbows to protect Chen Xu firmly in the middle, and when the young man rushed out excitedly with the bow, he saw several fierce guards holding swords and bows against him.
"Who dares to hunt in the Hou Ye's territory, quickly drop the weapon!" The leader of the guards shouted angrily.
"Uh~" The young man was stunned on the spot, but after only two seconds, he directly threw away the big bow and then knelt on the ground with a pop, "Master Hou spares his life!" ”
"Who are you? How can I hunt here, I don't know that this is my fiefdom! Chen Xu asked with a frown.
This arrow came extremely suddenly, and the lethality was huge, this sika deer was directly shot through the neck with one blow, which shows how powerful this arrow is.
"Back to the Hou Ye, the villain's name is Li Gui, who is a nearby hunter who makes a living by hunting on weekdays!" The young man lay on the ground in fright, not daring to move.
"Do you know him?" Chen Xu turned his head to look at You Yu and the three old man.
"Master Hou, this Li Gui is a member of Li Zhuang eight miles away, his ancestors are all hunters, and he is very famous in this generation, we have all heard of it!" You replied.
"When you get up and speak, do you have a belt card?" Chen Xu nodded.
"Yes, yes, Hou Ye, please check!" The young man took out a wooden plaque in his arms, Chen Xu took it and looked at it, it said that he was born in Li Zhuang, Jingyang County, Li Gui, Wang was born in the seventh year, Dan eyes and narrow ears, seven feet three inches high, it is a standard ID card, and it should be officially renewed after adulthood, and the height is about the same as described.
"Since it is a nearby person, you are allowed to hunt here, but remember not to hunt young beasts, and be careful not to hurt people, otherwise Benhou will be severely punished, you take the wild deer and leave quickly!" Chen Xu returned the identity card to the young commander and waved his hand.
"Huh!?" Not only the young man was stunned, but even a group of guards were stunned.
"What? Didn't hear Ben Hou's words clearly? Chen Xu frowned, although it was morning at this time, the weather was not very hot, but there were many mosquitoes in the mountains and forests of Shuize, and there were many ants, insects and snakes, smelling a strong smell of blood, Chen Xu felt a little breathless.
"Master Hou, this deer is my filial piety to you!" Where did Li Gui dare to ask for it, respectfully clenched his fists and bent down and didn't dare to look at Chen Xu.
"Give it to me, it's okay, see your superb archery skills, are you willing to be the guard of my house!" Chen Xu thought for a moment and said.
"The villain is willing!" Li Gui was overjoyed, and knelt on the ground again with a pop.
"Alright, get up, come back with me!" Chen Xu nodded, and walked back under the escort of a group of guards, Li Gui happily picked up his longbow and carried the still bleeding sika deer and followed behind.
Back at Qinghe Villa, it was already the middle of the day, the sun hung in the sky like a fireball, the strong sunlight scorched the earth, and the people who were already almost hot were almost out of breath.
instructed the servant to send the wild deer to the kitchen to be slaughtered, and at the same time asked Li Gui to follow him to the bathroom where the servant washed and washed, but after returning from washing, Li Gui was still in a state of semi-confusion where his soul was lost.
Chen Xu also finished washing up and changed into clean shorts and a T-shirt, watching the soulless Li Gui being brought in by the guards, he shouted twice and didn't react.
"Master Hou called you!" A guard slapped Li Gui hard and woke him up.
"Oh, Master Hou forgives the sin, just saw that strange thing called a faucet can actually flow out of the clear spring, the villain was stunned!" Li Gui returned to his body at this time and quickly apologized.
"Well, it doesn't matter, you are the hunter in my fiefdom, the bow and arrow are so skillful, it is really rare, who else is in the family?"
"Back to Master Hou, there are still parents and younger siblings in the villain's house, and my grandfather is still here!"
"In this case, you take a few guards to go back with you, make this matter clear to your parents, and come to my house after the family arranges it, and in the future, the family will be exempted from taxes and grain, and there will be money and food subsidies every month, and food, clothing, and housing will be paid by the Hou Mansion."
"Thank you, Master Hou!"
"Go ahead!"
Li Gui felt like a dream and was taken away from the Qinghe Courtyard by a few guards, and Chen Xu also went to the kitchen to take a look at the sika deer that Li Gui had hunted.
Venison has been the most precious meat since ancient times, and the sika deer has been known as a fairy beast since ancient times, and the crane turtle is called the Rui beast together, the legend is that it naturally has aura, and it can be immortal if eaten. In the Compendium of Materia Medica, Li Shizhen is even more respectful of it, believing that the deer is full of treasures, and the skin, flesh, bones and blood are all ingredients for medicine and food.
Of course, as a college student with a good education in later generations, Chen Xu naturally knew that it was impossible to eat venison for immortality, but venison should indeed be a delicacy, otherwise it would not be so magical and noble touted by the ancients.
It's rare to come across this kind of thing, but now that you do, you naturally have to eat it next to each other.
This sika deer is about forty kilograms, with slender hooves and short horns on its head, it should be a male deer that has just grown up, and the deer blood is also a great supplement, but it is a pity that Li Guiyi's arrow pierced through the arteries of the sika deer and carried it all the way back, and the blood had already flowed cleanly, but this pair of antlers was about a foot long, and there was fine wool on it.
When Chen Xu came in, the sika deer had been hung on a tree in the kitchen yard and was being skinned and disemboweled.
"Master Hou, this deer is delicious, it is extremely rare to hunt on weekdays, I have eaten it twice in the palace, and I can feast on it today!" An imperial chef standing next to him as a supervisor said to Chen Xu with a smile.
"There shouldn't be a shortage of food in the palace, right?" Chen Xu was a little surprised, in this primitive era where there were wild animals everywhere, there were still animals that even the emperor couldn't eat often?
Looking at Chen Xu's puzzled expression, the chef explained: "In the past, there were many Fang Dao warlocks in the palace who believed in the theory of immortals, and it was rumored that the sika deer and the white crane were immortal beasts, and the emperor couldn't bear to hunt and kill, so they ate very little!" ”
"I see, in this way, half of it will be slaughtered and sent to the palace later!"
"Yes!" The cook hurriedly agreed.
A sika deer is about forty kilograms, and there are almost more than twenty kilograms left after slaughtering, of course, deer intestines, deer hearts, deer livers, deer whips, deer eggs, and eggs are all good things, and naturally they must be cleaned up and made delicious, Chen Xu instructed the kitchen workers to sawn off the two antlers, and took them to be cleaned and cut into thin slices to dry.
These two antlers with fluff are deer antler velvet, which is almost the most valuable thing on this deer, whether it is Shennong's Materia Medica or the Compendium of Materia Medica, it is recorded that deer antler velvet is a great tonic, with the effect of aphrodisiac yang, replenishing qi and blood, benefiting essence, strengthening muscles and bones, and it is very high in the status of traditional Chinese medicine, and it is a more rare medicinal material than ginseng.
Under the control of the chef, soon a celery fried shredded venison, a hot deer liver, a can of yam stewed deer bones, and a few seasonal vegetables such as lotus root and greens were ready to be brought to the restaurant, Yu Wuya appeared at the door of the restaurant silently, the water gently took the apricot Yu Ji out of the study, and Chen Jiang also came over accompanied by a few little maids, although he had just washed his face, but there was sweat rolling down his forehead.
Chen Xu knew at a glance that Chen Jiang's family was cultivating the wasteland again, and couldn't help complaining: "Mother, don't go to work in such a hot weather, don't exhaust your body!" ”
Chen Jiang shook his head: "It's uncomfortable to live in the city, it's the street when you go out, there's nothing, you live outside the city and there is wasteland everywhere, it's a pity to waste it, my mother has been idle for too long, my hands and feet hurt, hoe the ground and plant some vegetable seedlings, you can eat it in winter, you don't care about me, I'm uncomfortable idle!" ”
Chen Xu couldn't persuade him, so he could only pick up chopsticks with a wry smile and order to eat together.
"Master Hou, Fusu Gongzi is visiting!" Just as the family was about to serve the bowl and prepare to eat, the doorman and housekeeper hurriedly ran in to report.
Well, Chen Xu didn't calm down for a moment when he thought about it, Nima seemed to be going to give a lesson to Ziying a few days ago, and he should be in the Qinghe Hou Mansion in the city at this time, but he didn't expect to move and forget about this important event.
Therefore, Chen Xu hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and went out to greet him.
After arriving at the door, I found that Fusu did not come alone, in addition to dozens of forbidden army guards with tigers and bears, he also brought his wife and son.
Chen Xu embarrassedly welcomed the Fusu family into the living room and sat down, and only then apologized after the maid served herbal tea: "Son and Mrs. are sorry, they have been a little busy these days, and they have forgotten to teach the child and the baby, please go all the way to the city!" ”
"Qinghe Hou don't need to apologize, because the matter of disaster relief Hou Ye has been very busy, benevolence and kindness have been praised by the city, up to the father and the emperor down to the commoners, mentioning Hou Ye are all full of praise, so Fusu did not come to disturb Hou Ye, in recent days, some have stopped, today I specially brought my wife to visit Hou Ye, one is to thank Hou Ye for the righteous deeds done by the victims, and the other is to learn things for the children and infants......"
Fusu arched his hand to explain his intentions, Chen Xu naturally agreed, and when he was talking to Fusu, he saw Yu Ji walking in with a rice bowl while eating, and the bowl was still piled with celery shredded meat and stir-fried pork liver and various seasonal vegetable dishes, followed by two little maids to the door and quickly knelt on the ground in fright.
And Yu Ji ran to Ziying's side, picked up a piece of deer liver with chopsticks and stretched it to Ziying's mouth: "Ziying, taste the deer liver, it's delicious!" ”
Ziying was only six years old, and when he smelled the fragrant food, he couldn't help but open his mouth and eat a piece.
"Ziying~" Fusu blushed and shouted angrily.
Ziying's frightened body trembled, but he was greedy for the delicacy of the deer liver and was unwilling to spit it out, so he quickly swallowed the deer liver in a few bites, and then cried out.
"Hmph, what are you doing so loudly? Brother Xiaoxu never yells at us at home! Yu Ji is used to being pampered at home on weekdays, and with the influence of Xing'er, a wild girl in the countryside, her temper is also very bad, and when she saw Ziying crying by Fusu, she was suddenly unhappy, and pointed at Fusu with chopsticks and shouted with her teeth and claws.
Uh, that's a shame! Chen Xu instantly blushed, stood up and said with a tiger face: "What do you look like, when you see His Royal Highness the Prince, be polite, and apologize to His Highness!" ”
"Hmph, I don't apologize to the adults who yelled at the children!" Yu Ji was not afraid of Chen Xu at all, and pouted and hugged the rice bowl and pulled the baby away: "Don't cry, I'll take you to the restaurant to eat something delicious!" ”
So the crying baby was pulled away by Yu Ji.
Chen Xu: ......
Fusu:
Mrs. Fusu: ......
"Sone and Mrs. are not strange, Yu Ji is used to being spoiled, it is really rude!" Chen Xu apologized with tears and laughter.
"It's okay, it's childlike and innocent, I like it very much!" Fusu hurriedly said with a smile.
"By the way, Childe and Mrs. have come from afar, and they are a little hungry when they think about it, so it is better to go to the restaurant together and have some casual meals, and I will teach Ziying a lesson after I have eaten and drunk enough!"
"That's very good, thank you Master Hou!" Fusu knew that Chen Xu's food was delicious, and he was indeed a little hungry after swaying from the carriage in the city for more than 20 miles.
When they came to the restaurant, Chen Jiangshi and Shui Rou Yu Wuya were still waiting, and the dishes and chopsticks had not moved, and when they saw Fusu coming with his wife, they all quickly stood up and saluted and said hello.
Lunch is not a main meal, so most people don't eat lunch, even if the prince and the wealthy family are hungry at noon, they generally just eat some snacks to satisfy their hunger, and then go to Shen Shi to eat a second meal, but Chen Xu's family is different, three meals a day in the morning, noon and evening, so looking at the meals placed on the table, Fusu and his wife are a little surprised.
"Mrs. Childe, please take a seat, today a hunter hunted a sika deer and offered it, so he made a few side dishes......
When Chen Xu explained, a maid brought a chair, brought rice and chopsticks, and at this time Yu Ji and Ziying were already sitting on the table with Ziying and eating, Yu Ji took care of her little brother and gave Ziying a bite of every dish, and after eating, she had to ask if it was delicious, and Ziying's head kept pointing, like a chicken pecking rice.
Fusu and his family blushed and cried and laughed, but after picking up the dishes and chopsticks, they were quickly conquered by a few dishes made of venison, Chen Xu asked the maid to bring a bottle of Qinghe wine and a few bottles of fruit vinegar, and the two families chatted while eating, and the atmosphere slowly became relaxed and active.
