Chapter 20: Feeding the Tiger (2)
Dabao, who was lying under the tree, asked about the smell of blood, his eyes lit up, and he didn't care about the injuries on his legs and eyes, so he got up and began to nibble on the roe deer in front of him.
Long'er He had seen the bloody scene of the beast eating, and felt a little uncomfortable, so he retreated to Xuan Shijing's side with the tiger cub in his arms.
"Long'er can't see Dabao eating?" Xuan Shijing asked.
Long'er looked at Xuan Shijing and nodded pitifully.
"Didn't Long'er just say with confidence that she could tame the big treasure?" Xuan Shijing quipped: "Don't patronize Dabao, you still have a second treasure in your arms that needs to be taken care of." ”
"Master Hou and Miss Long'er will go back first, Dabao is here, just take care of the small ones." The groom said.
Xuan Shijing nodded: "Okay, Dabao has just been brought back, the wild nature is not lost, you should be careful." ”
"Little Hou Ye, don't worry, since Da Bao Ken came back with you and Miss Long'er, it means that it is still a little wise, and the little one will be careful."
"Well, by the way, what's your name?" Xuan Shijing then remembered that he didn't seem to know the name of the groom, because he didn't go out all the year round, and the people in the house might not have recognized it all. Looking at the age of this groom, he is only twenty-four or five years old, and the young man is only a groom in the house at a young age, which is a bit wasteful.
"Back to Master Hou, the little one's name is Gao Jun."
"Well, Gao Jun is, you look at this Dabao here, and after Dabao finishes eating, you can also go back to the camp to eat, say hello to the guards around you, don't let them hurt Dabao by mistake." Xuan Shijing commanded.
"Yes, little marquis." Gao Jun arched his hand.
After a busy morning, Xuan Shijing was also a little hungry, looked at the mushrooms in the bamboo basket on Long'er's back, and planned to go back to stew a mushroom soup to drink, warm his stomach, walked a lot, and was almost used as a snack by Dabao.
Xuan Shijing took Long'er back to the camp, the horseman Gao Jun had already set up the stove, Long'er unloaded the bamboo basket on her back, first went to the carriage to find the cloak, surrounded Xuan Shijing, and then built a fire, set up an iron pot, and began to prepare Xuan Shijing's lunch.
Xuan Shijing sat on the ground next to the fire and rubbed his hands: "Long'er, go take out our Songhua eggs and make a plate, I'll send them to the queen mother, by the way, take out the food box, and put some buns and pies on our house, the queen mother's qi disease should be especially paid attention to in the wild, and you can also send some to Sun Daochang in a while." ”
"Yes, little marquis." Long'er answered, cleaned up the mushrooms, took out the water bladder brought from the house, poured out the water to rinse the mushrooms, put them in the pot, and took out the spices in the car, selected a few, and put them in the pot as well.
Stewed on the mushroom soup, Long'er took out the food box according to Xuan Shijing's instructions, opened it and looked at the bun pie inside, the freshly baked bun pie in the morning has been cold for a morning, if you want to eat it, you have to put it next to the fire to roast it, just when Long'er wanted to take out the contents and heat it up, Xuan Shijing opened his mouth to interrupt Long'er's movements.
"Long'er, I'll just take it like this in a while, and when I get to Your Majesty, I'll let someone heat it up, and you can put the Songhua eggs we brought in as well."
Long'er put the food box next to Xuan Shijing, and then went back to the carriage to take out the Songhua eggs she brought, about twenty of them, and put them in the basket.
"Little Marquis, I'll go with you, Daochang Sun should also be on His Majesty's side, so you don't have to send it alone, you can't take these things alone." Long'er looked at Xuan Shijing and said.
"It's okay, Long'er, bring your things, and we'll go over." After speaking, Xuan Shijing lifted the food box placed next to him, and found that he overestimated himself too much, and it was too difficult for his small body to hold this food box.
Long'er walked over with a chuckle, took the food box in Xuan Shijing's hand, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, Long'er said that she would go with Hou Ye, otherwise Long'er would go to send something to Sun Daochang, and Xiao Hou Ye would not be able to cope with it alone." ”
Xuan Shijing smiled awkwardly, who would have thought that this food box would be so heavy.
In Li Shimin's camp, the attendants who came with him had already set up a table, Li Er and a group of ministers had already entered the table, and there was a huge fire in the middle of the crowd, and a huge wooden frame was set up on the fire, on which a strong wild boar and a roe deer were roasted, and the imperial kitchen brought by His Majesty Li Er kept rolling the roast pig and roe deer, occasionally sprinkled with some spices, and the whole camp was filled with the fragrance of barbecue.
There were constant attendants distributing the roasted meat to everyone's plates, and the camp was full of laughter and laughter, and the kings and ministers were happy.
Cheng Biting Jin's loud voice is also a major feature, and Xuan Shijing had already heard his voice before he approached the camp.
"Uncle Cheng is really proud, Jing'er heard Uncle Cheng's bold words before he entered this camp." Xuan Shijing walked into the camp with a smile, and Long'er behind him carried a basket and food box.
"Haha, Jing'er came just in time, come to Uncle Cheng's side, the freshly roasted roe deer meat is fresh and fat." Cheng Yanjin laughed and invited Xuan Shijing to come to his side.
Xuan Shijing saluted all the princes present one by one and said: "Uncle Cheng, I'm afraid I can't eat the barbecue Jing'er you said, Jing'er's small body can't restrain those foods, and I'm here to bring food to the queen today." ”
"Oh? Did Jing'er really prepare food for the palace? Empress Eldest Sun looked at Xuan Shijing with a smile.
Xuan Shijing took Long'er forward and saluted Li Shimin and Empress Changsun.
"The minister has seen His Majesty and Niangniang."
"Slave Long'er, I've seen Your Majesty, I've seen Niangniang."
"No courtesy." Li Shimin asked with a smile: "Jing'er, what food did you prepare for the queen?" I don't have my share. ”
Empress Changsun, who was sitting next to Li Shimin, said: "Your Majesty, when I came here this morning, Jing'er said that she had prepared food for her concubine, and the concubine asked him, this little slippery head also sold a pass with the concubine, and he had to wait until noon to show it to the concubine. ”
"Oh? Jing'er, tell me, what is the good thing? Li Shimin asked.
"Your Majesty, this thing was made in the morning, and it is cold now, let Long'er warm it up and serve it to you." Xuan Shijing said, and then said to Long'er: "Long'er, first show your majesty our Songhua eggs." ”
Hearing this, Long'er put the basket of loose eggs on His Majesty Li Er's desk, and then walked to the fire with the food box to find some cooking utensils to heat the bun pie.
Li Shimin looked at the blue eggs in the basket and asked suspiciously, "Jing'er, what is this?" ”
"Your Majesty, this is a newly made Songhua egg in Jing'er's Mansion, this is peeled and dipped in soy sauce to eat, it is absolutely delicious." Xuan Shijing instructed the waiter next to him to fetch the soy sauce, then took out a pine egg and handed it to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin took the pine flower egg handed over by Xuan Shijing, and gently knocked on the table to remove the blue skin, revealing the black egg white inside.
"Your Majesty, let's let the old slave try first." Before His Majesty Li Er could speak, an elderly chamberlain behind him opened his mouth.
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "It's okay, can Jing'er still harm me?" ”
After that, Li Shimin took the Songhua egg and dipped it in the soy sauce brought by the waiter, and tasted it, nodding and praising it: "It's really good, distribute it to Zhong Aiqing, and let them taste it." "His Majesty Li Er's favor is called a smooth.
Everyone followed suit, eating Songhua eggs, and Long'er sent the hot buns to the eldest grandson queen.
"Queen Mother, this is specially brought by the little marquis from the mansion, saying that your body is not suitable for eating those greasy things."
"Jing'er has a heart." Empress Changsun smiled, picked up the bun, took a bite, and after eating a bun, she said: "This food is not bad, it is even an appetite for the palace, let the cook of the imperial dining room go to your Hou Mansion to learn another day." ”
"Yes." Long'er blessed her body and responded to the Tao.
"Jing'er, is this egg really made in your house?" Li Shimin asked.
"Back to Your Majesty." Xuan Shijing smiled evilly: "This is bought from Shangshan Pinfang in Chang'an West Market." ”
"You little slippery head." Li Shimin scolded with a smile, if Li Shimin still didn't understand that Xuan Shijing asked him to publicize this pine flower egg for free, he wouldn't be the wise and martial His Majesty Li Er.
The goal has been achieved, and Xuan Shijing doesn't want to stay here longer, and there is still soup stewed in his pot.
Bidding farewell to His Majesty Li Er and the courtiers, Xuan Shijing took Long'er back to his carriage, and at this time Gao Jun also came back, I don't know how he told the guards, and he actually brought Dabao back, which made Xuan Shijing's impression of him refreshed again.
"That's right, come, Long'er, Gao Jun, sit down and eat together, go hunt some prey in the afternoon, wait to go back, I'm a little tired, I don't want to move anymore." Xuan Shijing sat on a blanket spread on the ground, holding a bowl of hot mushroom soup in his hand.
"Don't worry, this little marquis, the matter of hunting in the afternoon will be handed over to me and Gao Jun." Long'er said.
"Okay, then I'll give it to me." Xuan Shijing said.
"Erbao?" Long'er tilted her head: "Little Hou Ye is talking about Dabao's child?" ”
Seeing Xuan Shijing nodding, Long'er was exhausted for a while, Erbao
