A hint of fragrance came.

He Nuo took out the baked cake from the building, a thin two-layer skin, with sesame seeds sticking on both sides, and after opening it, a hot steam came out, and there was a piece of barbecue meat in the middle, but He Nuo took it out and threw it away.

There is an old cook in the He family, his real name even he has forgotten, but he is very good at drinking, so everyone calls him old wine, seems to have suffered some injury, often coughs, as if only drinking can stop coughing, often drunk lying in a corner of the kitchen to sleep, only every festive season, only personally go into battle to make a table, the color, fragrance, and taste of the dishes are good, even He Jinyang will move a few more chopsticks.

Lao Jiu's monthly salary is limited, almost all of them buy alcohol and drink, and every time he is addicted to alcohol and can't afford to buy alcohol, he curls up in a corner of the kitchen, his whole body trembles, he coughs incessantly, and his gray hair covers his face, which makes people look frightened.

But He Nuo is kind-hearted, often send some wine to the old wine to drink, come and go, the old wine is naturally very grateful to this little son, from time to time to teach some cooking skills, and even personally demonstrate, He Nuo saw that the old man's body trembled, but the knife work is very stable, the control of the fire is even more handy, He Nuo learned a word when he was a child, called "pure fire", I think it is really a description of the old wine, a lot of complicated cooking skills, was made into some songs and sung by the old wine, He Nuo followed the study for a long time, benefited a lot.

The building is the largest restaurant in Jinyang City, the baked cakes inside are a must, and the people who queue up every morning can line up from the door of the restaurant to the Chengtian Gate. However, the old wine only said that the crust was not bad, crispy and soft, moderately thick, too thick and lost the taste, too thin and could not hold more stuffing in the middle, as for the meat filling in the middle, the old wine was directly thrown away, and the evaluation said: What is it?

After the old wine loses the meat filling, prepare some self-made ham, cut it into thin slices, the lean meat is bright red like fire, the fat meat is vaguely transparent, and then thicken the juice, pour it on the meat, and then wrap the ham in the pancake, the thick juice is overflowing, plump and palatable.

After He Nuo learned this hand, he often imitated it, only to feel that the baked cake was fragrant and filled his nose, and its taste was better than when he bought it from the original building, I don't know how many times better.

After He Nuo did all this, he handed the baked cake to Mu Yanxi, who was in a daze by the river.

After Mu Yanxi took the baked cake in a daze, she didn't look at it.

He Nuo sighed, took out two fish that had just been caught, cut open the belly of the fish with a knife, took out the internal organs, washed them with clean water, smeared them with sesame oil, salt, and homemade spices, and roasted them on the fire.

There was a sizzle, the oil bubbled, and the fragrance spread.

As the flames blow, the fragrance is even stronger.

Mu Yanxi finally turned her head and looked at the grilled fish.

"Yanxi, are you better?" He Nuo asked in a low voice.

Mu Yanxi's voice was tired, "There is a period of time every year like this, I am used to it." ”

He Nuo tried to make his voice warm, "My old wine master said, if there is anything to worry about, drink a meal of wine, eat a good meal, and there will be nothing." I'm still young, I haven't drunk alcohol, but the delicious things are really effective, and the lower stomach is lubricated and slippery, and there are really no worries. You eat the pancake first, the fish is almost ready. ”

Mu Yanxi took a bite gently, the crispy aroma of the pancake wrapped in the tenderness of the ham spread on the tip of her tongue, and the look on her face soothed a little.

"Don't worry, you don't get cold, do you?" He Nuo asked.

"Much better." Mu Yanxi replied, "Grandpa said, this is the life of the girl of our Mu family." ”

"Your lives?" He Nuo was a little surprised.

"Well, my grandmother, aunt, and mother all have this disease, I can't say why, it's like a curse, every once in a while my body will get cold, and when I close my eyes, some vague shadows will appear in front of my eyes, I can't see what it is, but it really exists."

He Nuo couldn't say why, and slowly turned the grilled fish over.

"Grandpa tried his best to find out the reason, and tried all kinds of methods, but it didn't work, grandpa said he didn't believe in fate, but this kind of thing is really fate."

Mu Yanxi took another bite of the baked cake and chewed slowly.

"Brother! It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant! ”

A girl's voice could be heard in the distance.

Not long after, He Nuo looked up and saw a man and a woman coming side by side, he recognized that it was Meng Ruo, the princess of the Canglang Department who he had seen in the Qianran School Palace, and her brother Meng Xiaochen.

"Meng Ruo......" Meng Xiaochen just wanted to stop Meng Ruo, but it was too late, Meng Ruo snatched it with an arrow, and looked at the grilled fish on the fire unceremoniously, with an obvious smile on his face.

He Nuo has a child, and his stomach is also empty at this time, of course he won't let it, waving his hand, "There are only two, not enough." ”

Meng Ruo's eyes rolled and looked around, "There are only two girls here, don't you men in the Central Plains pay attention to gentlemanly demeanor?" Let me and this young lady have one by one. ”

He Nuocai didn't eat her set, and said with a smile, "I'm a little kid, and I'm not a gentleman." My stomach is growling, but I can't let it go to you. ”

At this time, Meng Xiaochen stepped forward, grabbed Meng Ruo, and said in a calm voice, "We Canglang children never ask for help. After saying that, a fierce man plunged into the river beside him.

This surprised He Nuo, and even Mu Yanxi, who was eating the baked cakes, only Meng Ruo smiled and watched the water splash, and spread out his hands, as if waiting for something.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed.

Meng Ruo took a quick step, caught it steadily, the pace under his feet was quite flexible, and he turned around with a smile, it turned out to be a fish.

After another time, a wet body jumped back to the riverbank, it was Meng Xiaochen, who was also holding a big fish in his hand.

Meng Ruo originally planned to ask He Nuo to help grill the fish, but Meng Xiaochen only glanced at Meng Ruo, Meng Ruo stopped talking, and silently followed his brother to the side to collect some dead branches, and also grilled the fish.

The brother and sister seem to have no experience, although both of them have a Rong knife wrapped in white wolf skin around their waists, but for some reason, they invariably did not use the knife to cut the fish, but picked up some hard dead branches, and after pouting, use the sharp end to cut the belly of the fish, but the dead branches are not very sharp, and the movements are dull.

He Nuo watched from the side, seeing that the fish had been grilled, and the brown fish skin had a trace of sesame oil oozing out, and the fragrance continued to spread to the other side.

Meng Ruo took advantage of his brother's inattention, and secretly waved his hand at He Nuo, making an expression of asking for help.

He Nuo glanced at Mu Yanxi, and when he saw her nodding, he stepped forward.

Meng Ruo immediately handed over the fish in his hand, and He Nuoli cut the fish and washed it, then coated it with the seasoning he brought, and roasted it on the fire.

There was a sizzle, and the fragrance came out.

He Nuo looked at Meng Xiaochen and saw that he was still cutting fish, and he didn't seem to see He Nuo, Meng Ruo pulled the corner of Meng Xiaochen's clothes and whispered, "It was people who took the initiative to come to help, we are guests from afar, and the host should help it." ”

As soon as the words fell, Meng Ruo snatched the fish and handed it to He Nuo.

He Nuo shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then skillfully cut the fish.

Meng Xiaochen looked down at the dead branch in his hand and said nothing.

…….

Four children sit around.

Meng Ruo burped, stretched her waist, she had the most fish bones in front of her, and snatched half of He Nuo's baked cake to eat.

And Mu Yanxi almost didn't eat anything, just looked at Meng Ruo, with a surprised expression on her face, the women of their Jinyang, who were taught to talk and behave appropriately when they were young, saw Meng Ruo such a bold girl, her words were straightforward, her manners were intimate and informal, giving people a clean feeling, in addition to feeling curious in her heart, she was more intimate.

He Nuo just smiled helplessly, but when he saw that the fish Meng Xiaochen was holding was also eaten well, he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.

Meng Xiaochen seemed to notice his gaze, a little cramped, but still insisted on saying, "In our grassland, the men and women eat their own roasted mutton, mix some chopped coriander, boil fragrant milk tea, and the aroma in the tent can be managed for several days." ”

Meng Ruo seemed to have a short mouth, and said to his brother with a smile, "Then our daughter Han will only eat mutton." ”

Meng Xiaochen knew that she couldn't talk about her sister, so she scared Meng Ruo with her eyes, and she didn't dare to speak.

He Nuo became interested and asked, "Do you know how to roast mutton, and how does it taste?" ”

Meng Xiaochen hesitated for a moment, and then hurriedly nodded heavily, "How can we grassland people lose to others with roast mutton?" ”

"Okay." He Nuo clapped his hands and said, "Then you come over tomorrow and bake it for us to eat!" ”

Meng Ruo glanced at his brother, but Meng Xiaochen seemed to have made up his mind, and said heavily, "It's decided." ”

Meng Ruo sighed heavily in her heart, she knew that her brother was a prince of the world, and he was still skilled in bow and horse martial arts, but he had never cooked, according to his temperament, I am afraid that I will have to practice all night tonight, and I don't know if I will make a fool of myself tomorrow.
