Zhong Yu decided to go on a wild trip to the eastern suburbs with Yang Fan today. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Recently, Governor Zhang has been busy liquidating Luo Shaohua's affairs, and the new official will naturally have to fight and rub the previous team again and again in order to establish his prestige. These things have nothing to do with Zhong Yu, Zhong Yu is happy.

A lot of things have happened recently, after experiencing the collapse of the Luo Prefect's Mansion, and inexplicably becoming a Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi, Zhong Yu felt that he was a little tired, so he decided to take a break today.

……

Outside Qingzhou City in spring, the grass grows and the warbler flies, full of greenery, and it is a good season when the weather is neither cold nor hot. Whenever the weather is fine, the moat in the eastern suburbs outside Qingzhou is full of tourists, the ladies of large families, the literati who chant poetry, and the hawkers who carry the burden of hot food, and even the little beggars who are not clothed take advantage of this good season, holding broken pottery bowls and dog-beating sticks, laughing and rolling in the green grass outside the city.

The water of the moat ripples, and from time to time mischievous fish jump out of the water, and then fall, leaving only the layers of ripples to grow in circles.

In the warm spring breeze, Zhong Yu walked on the green grass by the river with his hands in his hands, occasionally sniffing hard, and he could smell the smell of the grass.

Zhong Yu looked at the vibrant scenery in this spring, and it was much better.

Zhong Yu walked leisurely and relaxed in front of him, and he was in a comfortable mood, but Yang Fan, who was following behind, did not have Zhong Yu's leisurely atmosphere. It's not that Yang Fan doesn't have leisure and elegance, it's really that the food box in his hand is very heavy.

"Big brother, why don't we be here!" Yang Fan pointed to the green grass tunnel under a newly grown weeping willow on the bank of the moat.

Zhong Yu looked at it, the grass under the weeping willows was green, and there was no one around, but it was a good place for a picnic.

"Well, here it is!"

Yang Fan cheered, and hurriedly put the food box in his hand on the grass under the weeping willows, and shook his arm beside him, obviously carrying the food box for so long and his arm was not light.

Zhong Yu opened the food box and took out the two chickens and various spices that he had prepared, intending to make a flower chicken.

The method of calling the flower chicken is very simple, and it is very suitable for picnics, of course, there are two versions of the beggar version and the noble version.

The beggar version is simple, that is, wrap the chicken directly into the lotus leaf, wrap it in a thick layer of wet mud, and put it in the fire to simmer, which is naturally the method used by beggars. As for the Guiren version, it is more complicated, the cleaned chicken is marinated in rice wine and salt, the chicken belly is stuffed with diced meat, mushrooms and various spices, and the outer layer is wrapped in lotus leaves and wet mud and simmered.

Zhong Yu felt that although he was not a nobleman, he had two thousand taels of silver by his side, and he definitely couldn't be regarded as a beggar, so he naturally chose the noble version.

Zhong Yu stuffed the two chicken bellies with diced meat and spices, and wrapped them in lotus leaves, which were wrapped in a thick layer of wet mud.

Of course, when Zhong Yu was doing this, Yang Fan couldn't be idle, after he picked up a pile of firewood, he was ordered by Zhong Yu to dig a pit on the side.

While digging a pit, Yang Fan watched Zhong Yu paste mud on the lotus leaves, his expression was a little hesitant, he hesitated for a long time, and then said: "Big brother, you are mud and leaves, can you eat this thing?" ”

Zhong Yu didn't reply: "Don't eat if you don't eat, don't eat it later, don't rush to eat it later, dig it quickly." ”

After the pit was dug and firewood was lit inside, Zhong Yu put two chickens wrapped in mud into the pit.

Zhong Yu also instructed Yang Fan to take out a huge linen cloth from the food box, spread it out on the green grass, and put a pot of bamboo leaf green wine and a few side dishes on the linen, and the two took off their shoes and sat cross-legged, drinking while waiting for the chicken to come out.

The process of chatting and waiting is really a bit boring, mainly because Zhong Yu feels a little depressed, because he thinks that if such a beautiful scenery is here to talk about life and ideals, it can be regarded as a real outing. Being with Yang Fan obviously does not meet this point.

When the chicken was cooked, Zhong Yu pulled out two charcoal-shaped soil bags with a branch, found a stone, and gently hammered it twice, and the outer layer of the burned soil shattered in response, revealing the chicken wrapped in lotus leaves.

As soon as the earth was shattered, a rich smell of chicken filled the air, making people salivate.

"It smells so good! Big brother, you really have a lot of skills, what kind of method is this? You can make such delicious chicken with mud! Yang Fan salivated greedily, and looked at Zhong Yu with adoration in his eyes.

"It's called Flower Chicken ......"

Yang Fan couldn't wait to listen to Zhong Yu's explanation, so he grabbed one with his hand, and couldn't wait to eat it, he was so hot that he screamed, and he still gasped while feasting.

Zhong Yu pursed his lips and looked at this eating appearance...... No wonder you are so far behind me!

Zhong Yu was about to pull away the remaining chicken and eat it in an elegant posture, but he heard a surprised "Hey, it smells" from the river embankment not far away, and then a white figure flashed, and a strange visitor sat cross-legged on the linen.

This visitor was dressed very luxuriously, a moon-white brocade robe, a jade belt around his waist, a Nafu jade pendant hanging, and a hearty smile in his mouth: "Hehe, the two brothers came early, so they ate ......."

In the stunned eyes of Zhong Yu and Yang Fan, the person who came was not polite, snatched the chicken in Zhong Yu's hand, followed Zhong Yu's example just now and smashed the topsoil with a stone, peeled off the lotus leaf, and ate it with his head.

Zhong Yu was stunned and watched this benevolent brother in a moon-white brocade robe eat a lot, listening to what he said just now, "two brothers", it seemed that he was quite familiar with him and Yang Fan, but ...... I really don't know him!

There are only two called flower chickens, and this strange brother eats one, which means that Zhong Yu has nothing to eat.

Until the whole chicken was eaten clean by the strange brother, and there was only a pile of chicken bones left on the grass, Zhong Yu finally couldn't help it, and looked at Yang Fan with a little resentment.

"Le'an, you don't know me early if you have guests, I'll prepare a few more......"

Yang Fan was taken aback, stared at the brocade-robed young man in front of him with round eyes, and said after a while: "I don't know him, isn't he your guest eldest brother?" ”

I don't know, where did this guy come from? And eat so heartily......

Zhong Yu was stunned, and then he felt that his head exploded, and the next moment he grabbed the placket of the strange brother's clothes: "Who are you?" Eating and drinking for nothing, I was almost fooled by you......"

"Boom", the sound of a long knife coming out of the sheath, the unfamiliar brocade-robed brother didn't know what to make behind his back, and there was no movement around.

Obviously, this brocade-clothed young man with a lot of guards must be the magnate of Qingzhou City. However, Zhong Yu was furious at this time, and he didn't care about the movement just now, and still grabbed the shirt of the strange brother with righteous indignation.

"The chickens are delicious, make me a few more to taste, and give you money." The exposed brother who ate for nothing did not feel ashamed at all, and his expression was quite arrogant, as if he was accustomed to giving orders.

Zhong Yu laughed angrily, eating white food is justified, how can this person be more shameless than me?

It doesn't matter if you eat white food, but you still have a high-minded tone after eating white food.

"Give silver, twenty taels", Zhong Yu stretched out his hand coldly.

Brother Jin Robe didn't seem to have any concept of silver money, and with a refreshing wave of his hand, a black shadow rushed over next to him, and two big silver ingots immediately appeared in Zhong Yu's hand, and before Zhong Yu could see the face of the black shadow clearly, the black shadow disappeared in an instant. Holy, what the hell?!

But since people have given money, naturally it can't be regarded as eating white food, Zhong Yu put away the silver, and his expression became at home, after all, it is rare to have strange foodies who are willing to spend twenty taels of silver for a chicken.

"Brother Tai's surname?" Zhong Yu asked politely towards the brocade-robed youth.

"Surname Zhu", this young man in brocade clothes is not modest, nor does he say polite words such as "free of expensive", as if this surname is very expensive, and modesty is not good with his ancestors.

Of course, this surname is indeed very valuable, the national surname!

Zhong Yu arched his hand perfunctorily and said, "Fortunately, I will ...... will."

However, although Zhong Yu said that he was fortunate to have a meeting, he had no intention of continuing to "meet" with him, Zhong Yu turned his head and beckoned Yang Fan to pack up his things and go back to the city.

It's a disappointment, damn it, I've been working all morning, and I haven't even eaten a single chicken feather. Although he earned twenty taels of silver, Zhong Yu still felt full of resentment.

The benevolent brother surnamed Zhu was anxious: "After receiving the money, why don't you make me a few more chickens?" It's going to taste like that. ”

Zhong Yu said very politely: "Twenty taels of silver is to pay the account for the chicken you just eat, and there are no ingredients if you want to eat, if you have a fate, let's talk about it next time." ”

"Fate? So when are you going to go out for a picnic again? ”

Zhong Yu said angrily: "Unexpected encounters are called fate, and when you set a date to meet, what is it called fate." You're okay just wander around this eastern suburbs, maybe I'll come out for a picnic when I'm in a good mood, maybe we'll meet each other! ”

Looking at the distant backs of Zhong Yu and the others, the young man in brocade clothes clicked his lips, and seemed to be a little unsatisfied with the call for a chicken, and stood for a long time before muttering to himself: "This person is a person with a true temperament that is not limited to form!" ”
