Chapter 68: The Hou Ye Who Doesn't Go Home
At the dinner table, there was suddenly an extra mouth, which made Zhao Chen very uncomfortable, the key is that the owner of this mouth is still looking at you with an innocent look, as if he has been greatly wronged.
The problem is that the three women at the dinner table, when they look at the owner of this mouth, always look smiling, picking up vegetables, and asking for warmth, showing their maternal side to the fullest.
Even Xiao Zhao Xi, who had just learned to grab a spoon by himself, saw his mother and Erniang vigorously giving Li Tai cloth vegetables, and they actually did the same, grabbed a chicken leg on his plate, and generously put it on Li Tai's plate.
Chicken legs have always been Xiao Zhao Xi's favorite, usually himself, pretending to ask this kid for it, he can only ask for this kid, a small piece bitten off, and now he actually gave the whole chicken leg to Li Tai.
I can't eat this meal, with Li Tai, the 'Dou E', the atmosphere at home has changed, and the way I look at him one by one is no different from looking at Huang Shiren.
"Eat!" I really couldn't stand it, Xiangcheng pushed the whole dish in front of Li Tai's bad behavior, Zhao Chen didn't finish half a bowl of rice, threw the chopsticks on the table, turned around and walked out of the dining room.
The several women who were still busy just now, showing Li Tai the brilliance of motherhood, were all dumbfounded, holding chopsticks one by one, looking at the back of Zhao Chen leaving, and after a long time, they glanced at each other and couldn't help but stick out their tongues.
"Sister..."The culprit Li Tai, holding a chicken leg stained with Xiao Zhao Xi's saliva in his hand at this time, sat there in a daze, and after a while. Only then did he look at Xiangcheng timidly and shouted in a low voice.
"It's okay!" Heard Li Tai call her. Xiangcheng suddenly turned his head and smiled at Li Tai with relief. Then, he stuck out his tongue at Qin Yuyan and said, "Tell the kitchen later, let me make a noodle for my husband alone!" ”
I couldn't stay at home, and when I came out of the dining room, Zhao Chen originally walked towards the study, but when he was halfway there, he suddenly saw the figure of Mu Qiu. quickly came out of Zhang Lu, still holding something in his arms.
"What are you doing, panicking?" Stopping Mu Qiu, Zhao Chen looked at the bags in Mu Qiu's arms, looking bulging, and suddenly asked curiously
Mu Qiu probably didn't expect that Zhao Chen would suddenly appear in the courtyard, and was stopped by Zhao Chen, and heard Zhao Chen's curious inquiry. Suddenly, his face became even more flustered, and he stood there with his head down, but he was speechless.
Muqiu has always been taciturn. In front of Zhao Chen, he is even more honest, and now he is like this. is clearly doing bad things, and he doesn't dare to let Zhao Chen know.
"Forget it. Ben Hou also asks casually! Seeing Mu Qiu's uncomfortable expression, his face was about to turn purple. Zhao Chen didn't want to embarrass the child, and it was probably not a big deal.
"Hou... Master Hou! Seeing Zhao Chen waving at him, he was about to go back to the study, Mu Qiu, who was originally standing there silently, suddenly behind him, whispered: "It's Ah Long, they went to catch a few fish outside the city today!" ”
"Carp?" It's nothing more than a few fish, but Mu Qiu has to make a look like he has done something bad, Zhao Chen used his brain a little, and immediately looked at Mu Qiu and said.
"Hmm!" Mu Qiu lowered his head, and after hearing Zhao Chen's words, he immediately nodded honestly, looked at Zhao Chen with an expression that changed when he knew his mistake, and said, "I'll go back now, and let Ah Long and them secretly release him!" ”
The surname of the Tang Dynasty is Li, so this carp has become a taboo, and I would rather watch the carp flood in the pond and river, and I will not catch it to enjoy it.
But these people in Muqiu are all from Lingnan, and Lingnan is close to the sea, so the food table of the bureaucrats is often seafood and mountain flavors, and carp is naturally commonplace.
It's a pity that these people followed Zhao Chen to Chang'an, and Zhao Chen didn't treat them badly, but the problem is that no matter how good the food is, it is inevitable that there will always be some cravings for the previous taste.
"No need!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he actually secretly caught a carp and came back, and he didn't know what to think in his heart, the person who was going to go to the study, but as a result, he suddenly turned around and said to Muqiu: "It just so happens that I haven't eaten either, so I just went to try it!" ”
When these words fell, Zhao Chen immediately patted Mu Qiu's shoulder and took the lead in walking towards the outside of the mansion!
Mu Qiu, who was following behind, couldn't help but be slightly stunned with the look on his face, glanced at the dining room over there, scratched his head in confusion, raised his step, and quickly chased Zhao Chen out of the mansion.
Zhao Chen now has three houses in Chang'an, and the house where the bureaucrats live is naturally the one he bought when Zhao Chen first came to Chang'an.
This mansion has undoubtedly become the most mysterious mansion in the Hou Mansion now, and outsiders, no matter who it is, will not want to enter this mansion.
"Oracle!"
"Master Hou!"
“……”
When Zhao Chen entered, a group of bureaucrats in the yard were busy washing fish there, full of several large pots, all of which were red carp jumping around, and the corners of Zhao Chen's mouth couldn't help twitching vigorously.
If he remembers correctly, it seems that Mu Qiu was a fool who just told him about a few fish! But looking at it now, I'm afraid there are hundreds of them, and I don't know how these guys got in from outside the city.
Mu Qiu, who was following Zhao Chen, lowered his head vigorously, not daring to look up at Zhao Chen, he was just afraid that Hou Ye would be worried when he heard it, but who knew that Hou Ye would suddenly come to the old mansion.
Not only Mu Qiu didn't expect it, but a large group of people in the courtyard didn't expect that when they saw Zhao Chen coming in, they were all stunned on the spot, and after a while, they seemed to wake up, and suddenly shouted in a panic.
"Hou... Master Hou, this is all caught by my Ah Long, and it has nothing to do with other people! "The captain named Ah Long, when he saw Zhao Chen coming in, he thought it was Xingshi who asked for the guilt, but he didn't wait for Zhao Chen to speak, but he was already standing in front of Zhao Chen with his head down, and he took all the sins on himself.
"What, you're catching something special?" Zhao Chen saw that Ah Long looked stupid and did things alone, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, and then he looked at Ah Long and said angrily: "Do you want to go back and give you credit?" ”
"Huh?" originally thought that Zhao Chen had come to Xingshi to ask about the guilt, but as a result, he didn't expect that instead of blaming, Zhao Chen listened to the tone, and still praised him, which suddenly made Ah Long feel a little confused by the second monk.
"Ah what, go wash the fish, your lord hasn't eaten dinner yet!" Zhao Chen saw that Ah Long looked like a circle, and suddenly angrily waved his hand at Ah Long, and urged with a shout.
“… Oh oh, okay! Hearing Zhao Chen's urging words, Ah Long was slightly stunned, and then reacted, and promised to Zhao Chen's shout, and when he turned around, he immediately rushed to the people behind him, and urged loudly: "What are you doing in a daze, don't you hurry up and wash the fish, didn't you hear that Hou Ye hasn't eaten yet!" ”
Hearing Ah Long's words, the atmosphere that was still a little tense just now was suddenly swept away, and the courtyard was restored to the lively atmosphere before, and all the wingmen were shirtless, laughing and tidying up the carp.
"It's comfortable!" A recliner was then moved out of the house and placed under a locust tree in the yard, and Zhao Chen lay on it, smoking a cigarette leisurely, while looking at the busy bureaucrats in the yard, feeling that the mood just now couldn't help but feel much better.
A few large pots of carp were already packed up in the hands of these connoisseurs, and then several dark fires were also lit.
When the people eat fish, they like to eat smoked fish, light a bonfire, wait until it is burned, press down the open flame, and then slowly smoke and roast the fish on the ashes of the fire.
The smoked fish tastes good, especially after adding the spices that Muqiu brought back from Zhang Lu just now, the taste is even more unique.
"Go find oil, your lord is happy today, give you a barbecue to taste!" After eating a smoked fish, he always felt that he was not happy, so Zhao Chen immediately rolled up his sleeves and shouted in the yard.
In the kitchen of the old mansion, there was originally everything, but when they heard that Zhao Chen was going to do it himself, the bureaucrats immediately took the lead of that Ah Long, and immediately started to coax.
Oil, chili noodles, spices, etc., Zhao Chen's words fell, and Mu Qiu immediately took two wingmen and rushed to the kitchen quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he brought out all the materials that Zhao Chen needed.
"Today, I will let you taste the craftsmanship of your marquis!" Watching Mu Qiu move all the materials out, Zhao Chen immediately got up from the chair, and when he said this, he rolled up his sleeves and served.
Mix spices, sesame seeds and other substances in the chili noodles, and then pour them evenly with boiling oil.
When the boiling oil was poured down, before it could be applied to the fish, the strong fragrance made the throats of the bureaucrats who were already hungry roll up and down.
"Hehe, it's really fragrant!" The wingman captain named Ah Long, at this time, was guarding Zhao Chen's side, looking at the sizzling fish that were constantly roasted by the fire on the open fire, and immediately rubbed his hands vigorously and drooled.
"Don't just talk about incense, ask someone to go to Steward Zhang's place to bring wine, and Master Hou will accompany you tonight!" Barbecue and beer, that's the delicacy of the world, said that after the accident from Cheng Chumo, he hadn't drunk for a long time.
In the Hou Mansion, there is ready-made wine, all of which are stocks left in the house, so as not to have people from the mansion, and Zhao Chen has to go to the study to use his mobile phone, so he simply took some of everything and handed it to Zhang Lu, the housekeeper.
"Husband, are you planning to come back?" And just when Zhao Chen accompanied a group of guards and let go of eating and drinking, in the Hou Mansion at this time, Xiangcheng had just looked at the wooden mounds that had just gone out, and looked at Qin Yuyan in surprise and asked.
"It seems, so it seems!" Qin Yuyan was also helpless, and just now he ordered the cook to make noodles for Xiang Gong alone, but who knew that Xiang Gong had already eaten and drunk with the guards at the old mansion.
"Husband must be angry!" When Xiangcheng heard Qin Yuyan's words, he immediately looked at Qin Yuyan with a somewhat worried expression and said, "Why don't I go and call my husband back!" ”
"Forget it!" Qin Yuyan said with a wry smile: "Xianggong hasn't been so relaxed for a long time, just let Xianggong relax, and I'll let Wheat go over to serve Xianggong when I go back!" (To be continued.) )
