Yang Ke picked up the fresh fish in the basket, mostly fat and fleshy carp, he skillfully scaled and cut from the back, scraped off the internal organs and gills, and then made a flower knife. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info The young man worked very hard to bring a whole basket of condiments, Yang Ke washed the fish with the water in the bucket next to him, and talked to the young man: "This grilled fish, it can only be cut from the back, and it will be completely and evenly heated, if the knife is cut from the abdomen, the fish belly is mushy, and the back of the fish will be raw, it will not be delicious." β
"I know, I know, because the fish has a thick back and a thin belly." Teenagers always like to show off.
Yang Ke smiled: "That's right, that's the truth. β
As he spoke, he evenly smeared the salty salt and minced green onion and ginger on the fish, spread them flat on the stones washed with clean water, pickled them, and then looked around, there were a lot of branches and firewood piled up around, Yang Ke walked over, leaned over and selected some branches of uniform thickness that were suitable for wearing fish, and found a few thicker ones, and cut them with a knife. The young man's eyes were attracted by the incomparably sharp dagger in Yang Ke's hand.
This dagger is a treasured blade in the palace of the Marquis of Linjin, most suitable for self-defense and close-fitting short fighting, rhinoceros skin is the sheath, each side is inlaid with a shining night pearl, and the four sides are decorated with gold wire, which is very exquisite. The handle is even more luxurious, and the dense circle of precious stones at the top of the gauntlet glows softly in the light of the bonfire, and the blade is so thin that it cuts through the branches like tattered leather, and the bark of the tree falls without a sound, and the sharpness is incomparable.
The fish pickled about two incense efforts, Yang Ke has already set up the grill, and then put on the pickled fish one by one, put it on the grill, in the blazing bonfire, Yang Ke kept turning the fish body, after a while, a fragrance came to the nose, Yang Ke dipped the fish body in a plate containing rapeseed oil, and then put it on the grill after the half-cooked fish was evenly coated with oil sauce. The bonfire burns the body of the fish, making a sizzling sound, and a richer umami flavor makes the appetite flutter. Yang Ke saw that the time had come, handed it to the young man who was staring at him, and said with a smile: "Eat slowly, don't burn it." β
The young man was not polite, took the grilled fish, and gnawed on it impatiently, muttering while eating: "The grilled fish made by the big brother is so delicious." It's better than grandpa's cookingγγγγγ β
The old man smiled: "You are not polite, you should be polite first, silly boyγγγγγγ β
The old and young sat on the ground around the bonfire, eating grilled fish while drinking a gourd of self-brewed wine handed over by the old man.
Yang Ke picked up a string of fresh fish that had just been examined, and was about to hand it to the old man, but was snatched up: "You will find a way, get it for nothing, and come here to cheat and cheat." β
Yang Ke turned his head to see that Honggu was standing behind him silently at some point, holding the tender grilled fish in her hand.
"Sister Honggu... The boy screamed.
Honggu nodded, and she was not polite, sat down, and said to the old man: "Third grandfather, I also came to rub your wine and drink." β
The old man smiled and said: "You girl, you don't cover your mouth when you talk, how can any girl drink all day long." The guests didn't cheat on eating and drinking, and we were also stained with the guests' light, and we were able to eat such delicious grilled fish. β
Honggu took a bite and couldn't help but light up in her eyes: "I can't see it, you, a court official, can still make such delicious grilled fish." β
Yang Ke didn't return the favor, smiled faintly, picked up another fish and put it on the grill, and smoked it reactionarily.
A few people took a sip of wine, a mouthful of fish to eat happily, unconsciously, slowly a Luo seven or eight fish have been eaten, the old man's wine gourd has also seen the bottom. The old man stood up, patted his little grandson's head and said, "We should also go home when we are full of wine and food." β
The little grandson shook his head: "Grandpa, I want to play with the big brother and Sister Honggu again." β
The old man smiled: "Big brother, they still have something to talk about, don't bother them, be obedient, go home with grandpa, and you will play with big brother tomorrow." β
Seeing the young man's reluctant look, Yang Ke untied the dagger from the sheath around his waist, handed it to the young man and said, "Big brother will give this to you, and you will use this to make grilled fish for grandpa in the future." β
The old man couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly stopped: "You can't do it, you can't do it, you can't accept such a valuable thing." β
Yang Ke couldn't help but say, grabbed the young man, and inserted the dagger into his belt: "It's just a plaything, don't shirk it, old man." β
Honggu interjected: "Third grandfather, take it, their family has these things, you don't have to worry about him." β
The young man stroked the dagger on his waist, was overjoyed, couldn't put it down, and said loudly: "Thank you, big brother." After saying that, he turned around and ran away, as if he was afraid that his grandfather would ask him to return the gift. The old man called behind with a stack of voices, and hurriedly followed behind to chase the little grandson. The grandfather and grandson drifted apart until they disappeared into the darkness.
Yang Ke looked at the backs of the two of them, with a smile on her face, and turned her head to look at Honggu, the bonfire was shining, coupled with the rising strength of the wine, her face was crimson, adding a bit of charm: "After eating the fish I baked, you can't blame us anymore, right?" β
"Think beautifully, this girl's anger hasn't subsided, don't count today, when you apologize to me, I'll spare you, otherwise I still won't give you food." Honggu opened her big black and white eyes and glanced at Yang Ke.
Yang Ke didn't take advantage of it, and changed the topic and said: "I didn't expect this place to be governed by you in an orderly manner, the people are simple, have enough food and clothing, and live and work in peace and contentment." How did you do that? β
"How do you know that you have enough food and clothing, and live and work in peace?" Honggu was stunned for a moment, and then came to her senses: "You have been wandering around the village for the past two days, aren't you spying on any news?" β
Yang Ke said with a smile: "What is the news of spying, but I have developed a habit, every time I go to a strange place, I have to go to see the people's food, the crops in the fields, and listen to what the people say." People here are praising you for being better than your brother. β
"How can I have my brother's ability." Honggu sighed, staring at the dark river faintly, only to hear the endless sound of waves crashing on the shore: "I forgot, you are a big official of the imperial court, we are all small people under your rule, and you can't usually see what kind of life we live. β
