Chapter 212: Asking for Others
Councillor Roger hit two hares, a pheasant, and topped the shooting charts, the captain hit two hares, Li Qingcang hit a wildcat and a pheasant, Catherine also hit two pheasants, and William and his wife also had their own gains.
Coming to the edge of a clear stream in the forest, Councilor Roger looked at the big bags on the backs of Li Qingcang and his son, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yes, you guys have good marksmanship, you can't fight anymore, and if you fight again, the prey won't be able to fit in!" After walking so far, I'm a little tired and hungry, so let's go to this picnic! ”
Everyone nodded in agreement and began to get busy. Li Qingcang and William carried the prey to the edge of the creek and began to disembowel, pluck and debone the prey.
Catherine's two daughters were in charge of picking up plants and trees, preparing branches for barbecue, while Councillor Roger and the captain, the two uncles, sat on the sidelines and discussed the common hobby of shotguns.
Chinese food is broad and profound, whether it is fried, fried, steamed, stewed and stewed, it has its own characteristics.
When Li Qingcang was fine at the base, he would often go to the kitchen to chat with the Chinese chef, and in order to be able to eat comfortably in the field operations in the future, Li Qingcang sincerely went to him to learn two-handed cooking skills.
Since he was planning to go out for a picnic with Congressman Roger, Li Qingcang naturally thought of making a few special dishes to make the councilor's family feel comfortable, so as to enhance the favorability of this big Buddha and increase the chance of him helping.
At this moment, he first wrapped a pheasant that had been hollowed out of its internal organs and had not been plucked with a few large leaves, and then closed the lump of mud and wrapped the pheasant into a muddy egg.
Then he dug a small pit in the ground, put the mud eggs in the pit, and then piled up grass and branches on the pit and began to make a fire.
After a bonfire was lit, another fire was raised, and a wild cat and a pheasant were put into the pressure cooker specially prepared by William, and some of the condiments they had brought with them were simmered.
Finally, a few skinned and boneless hares were chopped into palm-sized pieces, skewered on branches, and then brushed with seasonings and set aside to taste.
William and the others had already eaten his grilled fish, and trusted his craft, and helped him skewer the pieces of meat on the branches by the fire.
When Councilor Roger saw these novel practices, he couldn't help but feel strange, and asked, "Qingcang, how will the chicken be eaten if it is not plucked?" How can a wild cat and pheasant be mixed together and stewed! Is this what you are doing in China? ”
Li Qingcang smiled and introduced: "Yes, this is the Chinese way, Uncle Roger, let me tell you the names of these two dishes, there is a famous dish called 'Dragon, Tiger and Phoenix Braised Sauce' in China's Guangzhou cuisine."
"It's made with a mixture of poisonous snakes, tanuki cats, and pheasants, and it tastes great! It's a pity that I didn't see the poisonous snake, otherwise the ingredients for this dish would be complete. But it's not bad to have these two, and if you don't have a dragon, you can also call it "Tiger and Phoenix Braised Stew"! ”
Congressman Roger touched his nose when he heard this, and sighed: "Chinese can really eat, poisonous snakes dare to eat!" When I visited China, I ate your 'Confucian Banquet', and it tasted really good, and when it comes to the study of food, China is undoubtedly standing at the top of the world! In addition, what is the name of that mud chicken, is this also a famous dish in China? ”
"This dish is even more famous, it's called 'Flower Chicken'!" Li Qingcang said with a smile.
"Why is it called?"
Called Flower Chicken'? I only saw you with leaves, but I didn't see you put flowers! Can it still be called in the mud? Jacqueline didn't understand the meaning of 'called flower' in Chinese, and asked curiously.
Li Qingcang looked up to the sky and explained with a laugh: "Sister-in-law, 'called flower' is not understood in this way, in Chinese 'called flower' means beggar, and called flower chicken is a beggar's chicken."
"Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a beggar in Changshu, Jiangsu, China, because he had no money to eat, and under the pressure of hunger and cold, he stole a chicken to satisfy his stomach, and could not find a pot to stew, so he had to wrap it in leaves, wrapped it in mud, and simmered it on a bonfire.
Jacqueline suddenly realized. The captain was aroused by what he said, swallowed his saliva and said, "Qingcang, I went to a Chinese restaurant with you a few times, why didn't you order this dish?" ”
"I'd like to, but there's no one in the hotel, it's in France, Captain!" Li Qingcang shrugged his shoulders and explained helplessly, causing several people to laugh.
Li Qingcang waited until the pressure cooker began to bubble before picking up the already marinated hare meat and starting to grill it on the fire.
Everyone had been walking in the forest for most of the day, and they were already hungry, and at this moment, they smelled the smell of meat coming from the pot and the fire, and they were all salivating.
After a while, the hare meat on the branches was already roasted golden in color, overflowing with fat, and exuding a tangy aroma of meat.
Li Qingcang hurriedly turned on the pressure cooker, and a strong fresh fragrance immediately rushed into everyone's noses.
"It smells good!" Jacqueline said happily.
"Yes, it's really fragrant, I guess it tastes good!" Councillor Roger sniffed in satisfaction.
Immediately afterwards, Li Qingcang pulled out the cracked mud egg that had been roasted from the fire, and smashed the dry mud on it with a branch, in everyone's surprised eyes! All the hair on the pheasant's body was stuck to the mud, revealing the golden chicken color.
"Uncle Roger, Captain, come and try my craft!" Li Qingcang put the chicken called Hua on the plate that had been placed. I scooped two bowls of "Tiger and Phoenix Stewed Soup" and handed them to the two elders.
Councillor Roger took the soup bowl with a smile and took a sip, only to feel that the soup was extremely delicious, leaving people with a fragrant taste and endless aftertaste.
couldn't help but be overjoyed, and praised: "Little guy, I didn't expect you to have this ability, it's really delicious, it's so delicious!" ”
After Jacqueline ate a piece of chicken called Huaji, she also praised enviously: "Little sister, my little brother's cooking skills are so good, you will have a good mouth in the future!" ”
Catherine smiled and tore off a chicken leg and put it in Jacqueline's bowl to show that it was good.
The captain smiled and used a knife and fork to take out the meat in the pot and put it in everyone's bowl, everyone was hungry at the moment with their chests against their backs, and they were eating in the field, so naturally they didn't pay attention to any etiquette, one by one they drank soup with a bowl or held a meat skewer, and began to feast.
After eating, everyone cleaned up the garbage on the ground, and then went home, and on the way back, they encountered one or two wild animals from time to time.
However, these people came out to hunt just for fun, where would they care about the amount of prey, everyone was in a good mood at the moment, and there were still a lot of prey in the backpack, so they let these little lives live.
Outside the forest, several people turned on their horses and ran towards the manor. arrive
In the manor, there was a special person who came up to lead the horse away.
Councilor Roger brought a few people to the living room, and after the butler made afternoon tea, Councilor Roger took a sip of the teacup and asked, "Little ones, I'm afraid it's not as simple as coming to me to play with me this time, right?" Is there anything to say and listen to and see if I can help? ”
Li Qingcang couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he heard this, thinking that these big people were really human spirits, and before he could open his mouth, he could see what he meant.
Catherine was surprised and asked, "Uncle Roger, how do you know that we have something to do with you, and no one has told you?" ”
Councillor Roger looked up and laughed, pointed at the captain and said, "If I don't see this, I've been in officialdom for so many years, and I've heard of your iron-blooded Colonel Fleming not afraid of the boss's stinky temper."
"I was talking to me today, and I was tired of looking at that stiff smile. Besides, if you really want to compare marksmanship, I can compare to you who are the masters who rush to kill on the battlefield every day.
"It's okay to beg me, you're going to release the water so obviously, haha! Let's say, we are a family, if there is something, just say it, as long as it is not illegal, I will do my best to help! ”
Catherine smiled and said, "Uncle Roger, your observation is too terrifying, if you want to play tricks in front of you, I guess it won't please you!" ”
Councilor Roger waved his hand and said with a smile: "Sycophants, hurry up and talk about things, what is it that makes the famous Iron Will think of coming to me?" ”
Li Qingcang saw that Congressman Roger took the initiative to make it clear, so he was no longer polite, and carefully explained the grievances between Iron Will and Benjamin to Councilor Roger.
Congressman Roger couldn't help but frown when he heard that this group of people was so bold that they dared to openly act against the deputy director of the FBI, assassinating Downey in the United States and saving Hellfire in Virginia.
After thinking about it, there is no way for this group of people to do this, so that these mercenaries can change their careers to assassinate Donnie, and when they rob the criminals, they still have to think of ways not to kill government personnel, which is indeed enough to give Benjamin face.
After all, the mercenaries eat their signature meals, and if they can't complete the employer's entrustment, they are tantamount to smashing their own signboards, so it is understandable that they assassinated Donnie, and it is understandable that they saved the big arms dealer 'Hellfire' out of self-preservation.
Besides, if it weren't for the grudge between this group of people and the Grim Reaper mercenaries, then they would have signed that poisonous document at this moment, and their fame would have been lost. What's more, the little guy didn't want to use the power in his hands to help them suppress these appalling cases, but just asked him to come forward to contact Benjamin and take Fleming to meet him.
Helping them to introduce them is not a violation of their own standards, if there is no intermediary in this matter, the situation will only get more and more serious.
Although the state institutions will definitely prevail in the end, it is uncertain how much damage these people will bring to the CIA, and if it can be resolved peacefully, it will be considered a good thing for the country,...... Senator Roger thought so.
The councilor's brows were furrowed for a long time, which made Li Qingcang and the others sitting next to him fall into a heartbeat, for fear that this Roger parliamentarian would not agree.
