Chapter 13: The friendship of the young man is simpler

Many skills of travel and survival in the wild can be learned if you want to, and the opportunity to practice is easy to obtain, but those things have become the secret that only a few people can master, Xiang Yue Xiang Old Man led Zhou Qingyun to hunt, naturally he knew more, but seeing that Zhu Da knew so much and was so skilled, Zhou Qingyun was naturally shocked.

Zhu Da smiled, this dagger is sharp, and the fish is much sharper than yesterday, and the taste will definitely be better than yesterday's, and he planted reed grass in the puddle, and even used reed grass to make a few hidden buckles in it, and then chopped the escaped catfish viscera and put it into the puddle.

After all these are done, Zhu Da returned to the fire and began to deal with the catfish simply, he is not ready to smoke and roast it thoroughly like yesterday, this catfish is fat and oily, there is another way, it is good to smoke it simply here, anyway, the weather is cool and dry, don't worry about rotting and spoiling.

Even if the fishy smell is suppressed with spicy wild vegetables, the earthy smell of the catfish is too great, and when he was cleaning up there, Zhou Qingyun on the side frowned when he smelled it, but his mouth was non-stop: "I saw you running around in the village alone, I didn't expect you to have this ability, I said, when will you go to the house to cook fish to eat!" ”

Coincidentally, Zhu Da has only two peers in the village, one is this Zhou Qingyun, the other is Li Zongqi's second son Li He, and the others are either three or four years older, or three or four years younger, no one can play together, not to mention Zhou Qingyun and Li He, before waking up, Zhu Da was self-satisfied, running around the village, going up the trees and catching birds.

In the past, I didn't have contact with this Zhou Qingyun, and I even felt afraid from a distance, but now I get close to it, and I find that I really talk a lot, and it is indeed a teenager.

"If you're in a hurry, you can go back first, and I'll definitely go over at noon." Zhu Da cleaned up, while handing the small fish that was stewed yesterday to the other party, and simmered it in the ashes of plants and trees all night, without an open fire, but the temperature was enough, the fish was crispy from the inside out, although there was no seasoning, but it was also crispy and delicious enough.

"Can you eat this black thing?" Zhou Qingyun muttered with dissatisfaction on his face, and after eating the first bite, he didn't make a sound, quickly finished the fish in his hand, and then stared at the one in Zhu Da's hand.

Zhu Da ignored the other party, he always had to eat more to supplement nutrition, and it didn't take long for the catfish to be processed, he simply made a net pocket with reeds, and put the catfish segments full of pockets on the big stone, this fishy fresh food is easy to attract small beasts and birds, so he can only keep an eye on it.

After finishing these, Zhu Da was ready to practice running, which made Zhou Qingyun, who was a bystander, even more boring, and walked towards the old man, Zhou Qingyun was a little bit of a sheep herder, but Zhu Da was too lazy to pay attention to him, and began to exercise on his own, Zhou Qingyun returned to the village after a few words.

In the state of being fed, the energy of the twelve-year-old boy is endless, Zhu Da recalled what he saw and learned back then, adjusted all parts of his body, so that he could be exercised in long-distance running, instead of damaging all parts and joints of his body, when the whole body reached coordination, he felt comfortable, and even had time to think about other things.

For example, Zhou Qingyun is a rare good-looking person in Baibao Village, think about the reason is very simple, sufficient nutrition, and enough exercise, naturally much stronger than others, Li Zongqi's sons are the same, this Xiang family, old and young, should have other income in addition to hunting, although selling leather goods after hunting is a good income, but it can't make stable income......

"The child of the old Zhu family has improved a lot, and he is running like crazy again!"

"Xiao Zhu, have you become an apprentice today?"

Some people in the fields talked about it, and some people raised their voices to ridicule it, and the news of his apprenticeship has spread throughout the village, and has become a rare conversation and joke during the autumn harvest season.

However, there are not many jokes about Zhu Da, the villagers all know that this child is stubborn, it really makes him angry, and everyone is not good-looking, I never thought that Zhu Da accepted these jokes with a smile, and it didn't matter at all.

The running body was sweaty, and the whole body was almost hot, looking at the sun at noon, Zhu Da ran towards the village with the grass pocket, this thing is not safe to put outside, Zhou Qingyun can find it today, God knows who will be curious next time.

As soon as Zhu Da entered the village, he saw Zhou Qingyun running over with an anxious face, and he was relieved when he saw Zhu Da, and said in a loud voice: "I thought you weren't coming." ”

"Don't you know how to cook?"

"I can cook, but I can't cook." Zhou Qingyun replied nonchalantly, and then said with a puzzled face: "I cut a piece and cooked it just now, it doesn't taste good!" ”

Zhu Da rubbed his forehead, this doesn't seem to be a young martial artist, more like a foodie, but it's not a bad thing to like to eat, I'm afraid that you don't like to eat, he replied with a smile: "Just wait for me to do it." ”

The noon of the autumn harvest in Baibao Village is exceptionally quiet, with adults and children in the fields, while the elderly, women and children remain at home, and no one notices the two teenagers.

Entering the door of Xiangjia's courtyard, Zhu Da did not hide his curiosity, looked around, the villagers, many people in the village he had entered, but this Xiangjia was the first time to come, and he used to stay away.

Compared with his own house, the yard of Xiang's house is spacious and tidy, with arrow targets and wooden sticks of different lengths placed on the wall, and you can also see two stone locks, and there are drying skins everywhere, but most of them are rabbit skins, there are a few fox skins, and a deer skin is still very conspicuous.

"Hurry up and make fish, hurry up and make fish, I've got the cake hot!" Over there, Zhou Qingyun didn't care about Zhu Da's curiosity, and kept urging.

Zhu Da shook his head helplessly, and while walking into the wing, he asked, "Is there green onion, ginger and garlic?" Does your house let you use salt? ”

These questions made Zhou Qingyun's eyes widen, and he nodded again and again and said, "Yes, yes, you really know how to cook." ”

To the second question, Zhou Qingyun replied with some ostentatiousness: "Although you use salt, our family is not lacking." After finishing speaking, he hurriedly added: "Don't use too much, it's too salty and not delicious." ”

The salt in Baibao Village and the surrounding villages is sold from outside, that is to be exchanged for grain, the harvested grain is barely enough to make ends meet after paying rent, there is not much surplus grain, naturally not in exchange for too much salt, every family eats very lightly, it turns out that everyone thinks that Li Zongqi's family is better, and now it is not bad to look at this family.

When he arrived near the stove, Zhu Da was taken aback again, this kitchen was much more complete than the Zhu family and other families in the village, small pots and gourds were placed in a row, looking like it should be condiments, sauce and vinegar, etc., and the pot stove and kitchenware were even more complete.

His surprise made Zhou Qingyun very proud, and he said with a show: "People like me who practice martial arts eat meat every day, of course birds and beasts must be delicious, you are unfortunate to come here today, and when Xiang Bo comes back in a few days, I will go get game." ”

"Eat meat every day", except for the exaggerated part of this sentence, that is, most of the prey of the Xiang family is eaten by themselves, and they are not sold for money, it seems that not only does he know that he needs to supplement protein and fat to practice martial arts to strengthen his body, but Xiang Jia also knows, but this is not a secret, nothing strange.

Zhu Da didn't go out of his way to please Zhou Qingyun, he was familiar with the environment, so he arranged for the other party to live, and he brushed the pot to prepare the ingredients, cleaned the fish first, and then first selected the greasy fish belly part and chopped it, mixed it with the minced green onions, ginger and garlic, and stir-fried in a hot pot.

The aroma came out, Zhou Qingyun began to sniffle, stared at the pot, and kept muttering: "It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant, you really know how to make fish, can you eat it?" ”

After doing this, Zhu Da put the fish cut into the pot, and then added water to simmer, he glanced at the spice jar, and asked, "What other seasoning do you have here?" ”

Zhou Qingyun scratched his head and said, "Look for yourself, it's all done by Xiang Bo, I'll follow as a helper." ”

At this time, Zhu Da naturally will not be polite, one jar after another, one gourd after another, it is nothing unusual, there are good soy sauce and vinegar, sesame oil, and the jar is a good salt, which is too funny compared to the inferior goods that must be turned into salt water before it can be used every time, as well as liquor and spices that I don't know much.

"Does it work?"

"Feel free to use it!"

The fish soup in the pot had already begun to tumble, Zhu Da picked up the wine gourd, and when he saw him pick it up, Zhou Qingyun suddenly became anxious, and shouted: "That's wine, don't mess around." ”

Zhu Da replied with a smile, "I know", and then poured a little wine, Zhou Qingyun looked at it dumbfounded, he had been chanting "Can you eat it", and couldn't help but burst out of the sentence "Can you still eat this?" ”

Zhou Qingyun's words were too much, Zhu Da didn't bother to pay attention to them, and when the fish soup boiled for a while, he began to bring the soup basin, sprinkled the chopped wild onion and salt in the soup pot, and then put the fish soup in.

At this time, Zhou Qingyun stopped talking, just reached out and wiped the corners of his mouth, and after Zhu Da finished adding vinegar, he said with a smile: "You can drink it, you be careful to burn it." ”

Zhou Qingyun moved very quickly to get the dishes and chopsticks, and put the steaming cakes together, this cake is also a multigrain cake, but there is more food, less bran, this life of the Xiang family is much better than most people in the village.

"You add liquor to it, I can't touch the taste!" Zhou Qingyun still had some doubts when he was about to drink, Zhu Da ignored it, picked up his bowl and began to eat, Zhou Qingyun took a sip carefully, and immediately his eyes lit up, white wine added to the fish soup is to remove the smell and improve the freshness, this small means is not uncommon in those 20 years, but in the past, this is the secret of chefs, learning food processing has this benefit, and you can know the ins and outs.

The amount of food for the two and a half children is not small, the fish soup and cakes have been eaten cleanly, Zhou Qingyun ate a full belly, and hiccups a few times with satisfaction, and then said with emotion: "I thought Uncle Xiang could cook, but I didn't expect you to be so good." ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Qingyun seemed to think of something, stared at the catfish section with a grass pocket and said, "Zhu Da, Brother Zhu Da, make this fish at my house tonight!" ”

"No, I'm going to take it home and make it for my parents."

"Then I'll go to your house to eat, and I'll bring food over, okay? When you catch game next time, I will share it with you! When he said this, Zhou Qingyun's face was full of expectation.

Zhu Da thought for a while and said with a smile: "In the past, you can, in addition to bringing your own food, you also have to take some soy sauce." ”
