"Puff~"

Chen Xu smashed like a big stone on the water in the middle of a group of babies, and suddenly splashed a huge wave, and a group of children who were floating on the water and playing suddenly screamed and swam around.

"Wahahahaha~" Half a minute later, Chen Xu came out of the water more than ten meters away, holding a crab with teeth and claws in his hand, wiping the water on his face and laughing heartily.

"Wow, what a big crab, brother give it to me!" Apricot yelled excitedly and swam over.

"Be careful, don't hold your hands! Take it, brother go down and catch a few more! Chen Xu handed the crab to Xing'er, and then a fierce man plunged into the water again, and soon came out not far away, and there was really another crab in his hand.

"Brother Xiaoxu, Yu Ji also wants a big crab!"

Yu Ji paddled fast in the water, but it was obviously the only swimming skill that the baby in Xiaohe Village could do, but the little girl's little hands and feet danced fast, and she quickly swam to Chen Xu with a splash, Chen Xu handed the crab in her hand to the little girl, and the little girl was very skilled in pinching the back shell and abdomen of the crab from behind with her thumb and index finger, so that the crab could only wave the two big pincers with her teeth and claws, and she couldn't catch anything with a click.

Crabs are everywhere in the ditch, and the crabs in the ordinary ditch are river crabs, small in size, hard shell and meatless, almost no one eats them, so there is a feeling of flooding, and there is a sense of flooding in this river.

There are many varieties of crabs in China, the most famous is naturally hairy crabs, and then there are hairy crabs, blue crabs, pike crabs, etc., crab Chen Xu has eaten a lot, almost all of these varieties have been eaten, but what they eat more is this kind of small river crab in front of them, they have been caught in the river since childhood, peeled and washed, and then wrapped in a batter batter with salt, chili noodles, pepper noodles, and green onions and put them in the oil pan and fried them until golden brown......

"Hiss~" I can't think about it, when I think about it, Chen Xu feels that the whole person is not good, his mouth is full of saliva, and he feels as if he has been hungry for several years.

So Chen Xu plunged into the water again, and soon caught two more crabs and swam to the shore, calling a few little maids over to tell them how to shell and clean.

There are so many crabs in this river that I can't describe, and since I accidentally encountered them today, I must have a good meal to satisfy my cravings.

Although several maids were very scared when they looked at these crabs with teeth and claws, when they heard that the Hou Ye said that they were very delicious, they were not afraid anymore, and they rushed to help, and if they didn't dare to grab them with their hands, they directly knocked them to death with stones or wooden sticks, and then peeled off the hard shells.

After seeing a few maids learn to deal with it, Chen Xu plunged into the river again and began to catch crabs

And watching Chen Xu catch one crab after another in the water, the two little girls also excitedly went back and forth like porters, paddling and swimming around to send the crabs caught by Chen Xu to the shore.

A group of babies watched Chen Xu catch crabs so happy, and they were all excited to start catching crabs together, and after catching them, they threw them directly to the shore, with the addition of this group of new forces, soon the crabs crackled like rain and threw them on the grass of the river, crawling everywhere, a few little maids were too busy, and a group of guards also came to help, and killed one with the scabbard in their hands, one knocked to death, and soon got a lot of them.

Chen Xu saw that this was not good, so he swam ashore and called a guard over and said: "You hurry up and go to the Qinghe Hotel, get the oil pot and barbecue grill, and get all the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and flour, by the way, bring a few Pucao mats over, and get a few boxes of wine......

A few guards quickly rode away, Chen Xu jumped into the river again, and began a competition with a group of bare-ass babies to catch crabs, fish and shrimp, and suddenly the whole river was full of laughter and noise, and the noise spread several miles away, attracting the eyes of many people who were resting and playing in the shade of the trees by the river.

Seeing Chen Xu and the two little girls playing happily in the water, the water was gentle and her beautiful eyes were full of tenderness, and she said to Chen Jiangshi who was sitting next to her: "Mother, Chen Lang seems to have not been so happy for a long time!" ”

Chen Jiang's face also bloomed with a loving smile, and he took Shui's hand and said softly: "Gentle, Princess Qingning's matter has wronged you!" ”

"Mother, don't say that, in fact, Chen Lang does this to make me even happier, Chen Lang is a unique strange man in this world, I will support everything he does!"

"It's good that you can think like this, my mother is afraid that you will be wronged and unhappy, but ah, Princess Qingning doesn't have this blessing to enjoy happiness with Xu'er, you can be happy to be in harmony, you had better give me a grandchild as soon as possible, so as not to make me so bored every day, otherwise I might as well go back to Xiaohe Village, where life is more comfortable than Xianyang......"

Shui Qingrou's face was blushing and she didn't dare to raise her head, and she hummed softly like a mosquito and said, "Mother, Chen Lang and I have worked hard, but Chen Lang said...... Saying I'm too young to have a baby so early is not good for my health......"

"Don't listen to him nonsense, my mother gave birth to him at the age of sixteen, look at his long life, I don't feel any bad, it's not good to be born late, some people gossip, don't worry, my mother will make soup for you every day to replenish your body, a few days ago an old fairy gave me a recipe for stewing beef bone soup, saying that it is a bowl or two bowls a day, and the body will be as strong as a calf, and the whole night will not be tired......"

The water was soft, her cheeks were red, and she didn't dare to raise her head even when she buried her face in her chest.

The topic between women, the topic between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law Chen Xu naturally didn't know, at this time he had completely forgotten everything by playing in the water, like a fish arching in the water, a dog planing for a while, a dive for a while, and a group of children playing in the dark.

"Hey, isn't that the carriage of the Marquis of Qinghe?"

An old man in a wide-sleeved robe with a group of young students was sitting in the shade of the Weihe Bridge, reading, although more than a hundred meters away, looking at a group of children fluttering in the river and the carriage by the river, a sharp-eyed student couldn't help but say.

"It seems...... It seems like...... It's just that it's far away, and you can't see it clearly! The other student stood up and shook his head, but he didn't see it very clearly because he happened to be facing the sun.

"Could it be that it is Qinghe Hou who is playing in the river?" A group of people looked at the group of children who were splashing and frolicking in the river in amazement.

"Let's go, since it's the Marquis of Qinghe, I'll pay a visit later! Teacher, you are a great sage in the world, go with us, Qinghe Hou will definitely not drive us away! The other students couldn't help but stand up together and bowed their hands to the old man.

The old man waved his hand helplessly and said: "Go ahead, I heard that Corporal Qinghe Hou Lixian, how to drive you away, go and go back quickly, you have also heard about the affairs of Qinghe Hou's Mansion, don't mention Princess Qingning nonsense, otherwise he will be annoyed and scolded by shame, don't blame the teacher for not reminding you!" ”

"Teacher, don't worry, we won't talk nonsense!" Several young students tidied up their clothes and hair excitedly, and then put away their books and walked in the direction of Chen Xu together.

The two guards quickly went and returned, followed by two carriages, which were loaded with barbecue grills, charcoal, pots and pans, and even a few pots of marinated skewers, including mutton, pork ribs, fat sausages, kidney flowers, chicken wings, lotus root slices, etc.

These are the varieties sold at the door of the Qinghe Theater in Qinghe Garden, the price is also appropriate, much cheaper than the one sold in Wancheng at the beginning, the meat is three dollars a string, the vegetables are a string, and the taste is much better, so the barbecue in Qinghe Garden is the most popular food among people, and you don't have to come out to buy it in person when you watch the play, you just need to tell the maid on the line, and someone will bring the grilled fragrant skewers over with a plate after a while, and eat the skewers while watching the play, which is completely an indescribable refreshing feeling.

Therefore, although Qingheyuan does not rely on barbecue to make money, barbecue can also make thousands of dollars every day, solve the employment of more than ten people, and it is also a very meaningful investment, and this new style of barbecue has been spread, the earliest thing to learn is the fragrance garden opposite, so every day in the afternoon, the whole street is wafting a strong aroma of barbecue, and people who come and go can't help but drool.

A group of guards took the barbecue grill and the stove and oil pot out of the car, set them up in the shade of the tree, lit the charcoal fire, laid the cattail mats, and a few little maids cleaned the crabs caught by a group of babies and put them in several large pots and moved them to the shade of the trees.

"Wow, go up there, or the crabs will be eaten!" The apricot yelled and swam to the shore.

"Sister Xing'er, wait for me!" Yu Ji also followed behind, and her little arms and legs kicked fast, and the two little girls swam to the shore, and then ran up to the river with a shout.

"I want chicken wings!" Seeing several large pots full of skewers, Yu Ji directly threw the matter of eating crabs to the clouds, pointing to a pot of chicken wings and shouting.

The two little maids hurriedly put a few strings of chicken wings on the grill, and with the sound of snorting, a strong smell of barbecue soon came out.

Chen Xu looked at the situation on the shore and felt that he had had enough fun, so he also climbed ashore, picked up his clothes and wiped the water on his body indiscriminately, and walked over after putting on his coat.

"Look at what I do, you can bake and eat whatever you like, and you can ...... a bottle of wine per person."

"Ya Ho~" Before Chen Xu finished speaking, a group of guards suddenly jumped up excitedly, quickly occupied two barbecue grills, and scrambled to put a lot of skewers on the grill, some fanned, some brushed oil, and some shook the seasoning, and soon as the grease dripped onto the charcoal fire, in the sound of fluttering, the green smoke spread in the wind, and the rich fragrance quickly blew out a few miles away with the wind on the river embankment.

"Hey, it's so fragrant, I'm so hungry......"

"I'm hungry too, I can't walk!"

"Who is this barbecuing by the river to lure us and others, it is really heinous!"

"Could it be that you are blind, that is the car of the Marquis of Qinghe!"

"The one who played in the water with the children was Qinghehou?"

"Uh-huh, so even if it's so fragrant that you starve to death, you can only smell it......"

"You said that if we go to ask Qinghehou, will we have something to eat?"

"I want to come...... Alas, it is impossible! ”

It is now the early summer, and the weather is a little hot at noon, but about three or five friends sit in the shade of the trees by the river and blow the cool river breeze, play the piano and sing, read books and newspapers, and those who are rich can also bring one or two maids and scholars to serve, so life does not need to be too leisurely.

However, the leisureliness of these people was directly swept away by the smell of barbecue wafting in the wind, so many people licked their lips and shrugged as Chen Xu and a group of people were busy under the tree.
