Chapter 14: Dragon and Phoenix Fight

Ah Ling was about to fall asleep with his back against the tree, when he saw a spherical object sneaking into the woods......

Looking at this funny figure, Ah Ling laughed silently. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hey, here we are!" Ah Ling shouted.

Li Xiaoshou hurriedly approached under the big tree, stumbling under his feet, and almost fell.

Whew......

Li Xiaoshou gasped heavily, and the fat all over his body was trembling, and the scene was extremely spectacular!

"Second Young Master, why didn't you come until now, I'm almost asleep when I wait!" Ah Ling muttered.

Li Xiaoshou waved his hand helplessly and said, "No way, my mother is watching it tightly, and she can't slip out at all." ”

Ah Ling smiled: "Then you haven't slipped out yet!" ”

"My father went to my mother to discuss the collection of rent, so I had a chance to sneak out. Otherwise, it would be impossible to get out tonight. Li Xiaoshou calmed down his breath a little, sat next to Ah Ling, and asked a little anxiously: "What about the delicious things you said, why didn't I see anything?" Hurry up and take it out, I have to go back quickly after eating, if my mother goes back to the house and finds that I am not there, she will definitely be angry. ”

Li Xiaoshou seemed to see his mother's angry appearance, his body trembled, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

"Huh? Why is there a big hole here? Did you dig it? Li Xiaoshou finally found a big pit more than half a person high in front of the right side, and asked in a loud voice.

"Hey, guess what!" Ah Ling deliberately put on a malicious expression.

"You...... You're not trying to bury me here, are you?! Li Xiaoshou said in surprise.

Ah Ling covered his face and said, "Second Young Master, you think too much...... What's in it for me if I bury you here? If I bury you today, and gold grows in the ground tomorrow, I will definitely bury you, haha! ”

Li Xiaoshou also smiled, but he still couldn't understand, why did Ah Ling dig such a big pit?

Ah Ling turned over and stood up from the ground, patted the dirt and dust on his buttocks, and said mysteriously: "Let's go, take you to find food!" ”

Look for?!

Li Xiaoshou listened to the word 'find' said by Ah Ling, and the confusion in his heart deepened.

- Looking for? Could it be that Ah Ling is not ready, and he still needs to look for it? What good food can be found in this grove? Black fungus on the tree?

Looking at the big hole in the ground, Li Xiaoshou said suspiciously: "Ah Ling, are you going to dig earthworms and cook them to eat?" ”

Ah Ling sold the guanzi, smiled mysteriously, and said, "You'll know in a while." ”

Ah Ling walked around the forest, looking left and right, Li Xiaoshou followed behind Ah Ling, looking at Ah Ling's chattering and looking around, and suddenly thought of the 'gentleman' who came to Li's house last year to see the feng shui pattern.

Li Xiaoshou was thinking to himself, and he didn't notice that Ah Ling, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.

"Oops......"

Li Xiaoshou's head hit Ah Ling's back, his nose was sore, and he almost had a nosebleed.

"Ah Ling, why did you stop all of a sudden? What the hell are you walking around in the woods ......? Li Xiaoshou rubbed his sour nose and asked.

"Shh

Ah Ling made a silent finger, leaned on the ground, put his ear to the ground and listened, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Li Xiaoshou was at a loss, Ah Ling suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed it into the low bushes in front of him, and when he retracted his arm, there was already a big snake with the thickness of a baby's arm in his hand!

The seven inches of this big snake were pinched by Ah Ling's two fingers like iron pincers, and the cruel snake eyes stared at the comer, constantly swallowing red letters, and the whole body was tightly wrapped around Ah Ling's arm......

"Oops, snake !!"

Li Xiaoshou suddenly felt creepy, what he was most afraid of since he was a child was snakes.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a cauliflower snake, it's not poisonous." Seeing that Li Xiaoshou was full of fear, Ah Ling smiled and comforted.

Li Xiaoshou seemed to understand something, and exclaimed, "You...... This is what you said is a hundred times better than braised pork? ”

"That's it!" Ah Ling said proudly: "It's a pity that I didn't bring a pot, so I can only roast and eat!" If you can cook a pot of snake soup, then it is called a delicious ...... It can be called the best in the world! ”

Ah Ling smashed his mouth and said with regret.

"Second young master, you go and collect some firewood. Remember, be sure to dry the firewood. Ah Ling commanded.

If it was a dead wood with moisture, there was a lot of smoke after it was lit, and the smoke was billowing out, he didn't want to alarm the Li family's nursing home, let alone Li Lanxuan's old fox, so as not to startle the grass and snakes.

Ah Ling quickly skinned the snake's skin with his hands and feet, cut open the snake's belly with a sharp stone, cut off the internal organs, and strung it on a branch of a camphor tree.

At this time, Li Xiaoshou returned to the tree with a lot of dry branches and dead trees, and Ah Ling jumped into the pit dug in advance, got some dead leaves and lit them, and gradually added some branches to the fire...... Soon, the pit that could accommodate three people was scorching with firelight.

Li Xiaoshou finally understood why Ah Ling was digging a pit!

He stood on the ground, and the fire from the pit could only illuminate a few meters around him, and never through the woods, so he didn't have to worry about being spotted - unless he walked into the woods.

"Don't be stunned, jump into the fire pit!" Ah Ling added firewood to the fire while beckoning Li Xiaoshou, who was still standing stupidly on the ground, to jump down.

Li Xiaoshou laughed so hard that his fat body trembled, and the flesh swelled.

"Hey, hey, hey...... Jumping into a fire pit? You can figure it out! Li Xiaoshou rolled up his sleeves and trousers and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you to jump back to the fire pit today!" ”

After saying that, he jumped down.

"Oops, how did I jump on the fire...... Catch me! Li Xiaoshou was in mid-air and shouted.

As soon as Ah Ling looked up, he saw a figure covering the sky and the sun, blocking the sky at the mouth of the pit tightly, and pressing towards the fire directly above the fire with the momentum of Mount Tai!

"Second young master, your 'flying pig to fight the fire' is so powerful, but ...... I really don't like to eat roast suckling pig! ”

Ah Ling quipped, stretched out his hand and gently pulled it, Li Xiaoshou's body weighing more than 100 catties and weighing down like a flying fire meteor was like a weightless ball of cotton, which was gently caught by Ah Ling and rested next to the fire.

"Ah Ling, your strength is so great!"

Where did Li Xiaoshou understand Ah Ling's skill, and he was confused and only thought that Ah Ling's strength was great, so he could easily catch him.

Ah Ling naturally didn't break the reason, smiled indifferently, and spread the dead grass on the mud floor to Li Xiaoshou as a grass mat.

Zizizi......

Soon, the snake meat that was roasted on the fire made a sizzling sound, and then the fat dripped onto the fire, making a piercing 'sting' sound, and gradually turned into golden snake meat, exuding a tempting aroma.

"It smells so good!"

Li Xiaoshou sniffed his nose and stared at the snake meat roasted on the fire, his eyes were shining, and he didn't know that the hara was dripping from the corner of his mouth.

Ah Ling smiled dumbly: "Second young master, don't worry, you have to bake it for a while, it's delicious with seasoning!" ”

As he spoke, Ah Ling took out a handful of powdery things from his pocket, black and yellow, and slowly opened it in his fist.

"What is this?" Li Xiaoshou was stunned for a moment, staring at the powder in Ah Ling's palm and asked curiously.

"When I came out of the canteen, I grabbed some spices, these are cumin, star anise, pepper and other seven or eight kinds of powder milled, a little roasted until nine ripe sprinkled on the snake meat, that taste, tsk...... Even if you use the throne of Emperor Lao Tzu, you won't change it! Ah Ling shook his head and said exaggeratedly.

Soon, the snake meat changed from golden yellow to a faint burnt yellow, Ah Ling evenly sprinkled the mixed powder seasoning on the snake meat, and when the color was darker, he took off the camphor wood on the fire, and the snake meat on the string exuded an attractive luster, and the indescribable meat fragrance completely ignited the gluttony factor in Li Xiaoshou's super foodie.

Ah Ling stopped teasing him and handed the end of the camphor wood to Li Xiaoshou.

Li Xiaoshou took it and took a bite, almost burning his tongue off......

"Eat slowly! I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and I can't eat delicious roast snake meat! Ah Ling said with a smile.

Li Xiaoshou snorted and ate it, and it was really not flattering to eat......

"It's delicious! Not...... Do you want to do some too? ”

Li Xiaoshou handed over the grilled snake meat that had been gnawed beyond recognition, and his eyes were full of reluctance.

"Eat, we tenants, the bitter babies, can't eat enough, so we will do everything possible to think of some crooked tricks, catch hares, pheasants, and snakes...... Therefore, we children from poor families eat too much of this kind of thing, and we never take it seriously. Ah Ling said with a wave of his hand.

"Hmm...... Then you're welcome! ”

Li Xiaoshou held a wooden stick, and the one he ate was called a majestic and weatherful, which was really windy and devastating!

"Delicious! It's delicious! Not...... You're right, it's a hundred times better than braised pork! Li Xiaoshou ate with a mouth full of oil.

"Second young master, don't worry, eat slowly." Ah Ling said with a smile.

"Don't call me Second Young Master, since we are friends, then you can call me Xiaoshou, and I will call you Ah Ling."

Li Xiaoshou gnawed the cauliflower snake until there was only one skeleton left, and picked his teeth with his tongue, as if he was still a little unsatisfied.

Ah Ling secretly thought, this 'second young master' is too easy to deceive, a snake will kill him......

"Second young master, what kind of work is this! You are the Lord and I am the servant...... Besides, if the lord or lady knows, I will definitely think that I don't understand the rules, and it is still light to drive out of the Li family, and maybe I will be punished by the family rules! Ah Ling said.

Li Xiaoshou wiped his mouth and thought for a moment, then nodded: "You are right." So be it...... When someone is there, you call me Second Young Master, and when we are alone, you call me Xiaoshou! ”

"Okay...... Kotobuki. ”

Ah Ling stood up, jumped onto the ground, and stretched out his hand to pull Li Xiaoshou, and easily dragged the latter out of the pothole.

Then, Ah Ling used a shovel to fill the soil into the pit, and after doing all this, he and Li Xiaoshou quietly left.

"Ah Ling, today's roast snake meat is so delicious......" Li Xiaoshou looked at Ah Ling, wanting to say something.

Ah Ling couldn't see Li Xiaoshou's thoughts in his heart, and besides, he was never willing to let go of Li Xiaoshou's 'thigh', only through him could he get close to Li Lanxuan in the shortest possible time and complete the assassination mission.

"Although the roasted snake is fragrant, but it has lost a 'fresh' word, next time I will bring a cauldron and make a 'dragon and phoenix fight' for you, so that you can not find your tongue after eating!" Of course, Ah Ling will not let go of the opportunity to continue to deepen his friendship with the second young master.

"Really?!"

As expected, Li Xiaoshou couldn't wait to say, "What is a dragon and phoenix fight?" When? ”

"Dragons and phoenixes...... As the name suggests, snakes and pheasants are cut into pieces and simmered in a large pot for an hour. Drink a sip of the umami of the soup, it is worth the full banquet of the Manchu and Han people! Ah Ling described it vividly, smacking his lips from time to time.

How could he not know what a mysterious delicacy that he had never tasted before meant to a true foodie.

"You go back first, and I'll look for you when I catch the pheasant." Ah Ling waved his hand and said.
