"Second master, the cucumber and gourd are blooming!" A little guy ran over and shouted, and a flock of sparrows, which were pecking in the snow, flew away.

"Zhao Xin, it's really time for you to come, the sparrows scared you away!" Zhao Ta stood up from behind the stone stupidly, threw away the rope in his hand and said in annoyance. Yesterday there was a heavy snowfall, and today the sky is clear, Zhao Ta swept out a clearing in the garden, sprinkled some wheat, made a trap with a basket, and caught sparrows here.

"Second master, I... I didn't mean to! Zhao Xin lowered his head and rubbed the placket of his clothes and whispered.

"Forget it, but I'll give you two less at noon!" Zhao Tan waved his hand and said 'generously', Zhao Xin nodded vigorously, but there was no trace of fear, he knew that the second master was soft-hearted and would not give him less.

"Alas, what are you waiting for, carrying the bag, isn't the cucumber blooming, I'll go and see, I have to worry about everything!" Zhao Tan shook his head and pointed to the cloth bag on the ground and said, there was already half a bag of sparrows in it, he really caught a lot this morning, Zhao Xin stuck out his tongue and followed him with the bag.

After these days, Zhao Ta has adapted to his current body, as if he has really 'become' a child, no longer bothered by this, he should relive his beautiful childhood, in addition to eating, drinking and sleeping every day, he is playing with the law and making up for all the regrets in the past. Only Jianxi was a little depressed, and the sudden change of the prince made him a little uncomfortable, and he followed behind with wilting.

These days to cool down, in order to maintain the temperature, there are a few stoves in the house, the hot air in the warm room, a few small guys working in it are only wearing a small coat, still full of sweat, seeing Zhao Ta come in, hurriedly salute, Zhao Yi helped him take off his leather robe.

"Second master, cucumbers and gourds have bloomed, I heard from the gardeners in the garden that they have also tried to plant in the greenhouse in the past, but they only bloom but do not bear fruit, and it is useless when the flowers bloom!" Zhao Ren said.

"Cut, that's useless to him, we will definitely be able to produce melons!" Zhao Ta said disdainfully, the ancients did not understand that there were no bees and butterflies at this time of year, and the pollen-feeding insects were pollinated, of course, they only bloomed and did not bear fruit, "Did I ask you to prepare the brush ready?" ”

"Second master, ready!" Zhao Ren said, and hurriedly handed over a rabbit quill brush.

"You all get closer, and see what I do!" Zhao Ta took the brush, beckoned everyone else to come over, dipped the brush on one flower, and then dotted it on another flower a few times.

"Second master, what are you doing here?" Zhao Yi asked puzzled.

"The flowers are male and female, this is a male flower, and the one with a small cucumber is a female flower, if it is not pollinated, it will fall off soon, remember that a male flower can only pollinate three female flowers at most, not more, understand!" Zhao Ta explained.

"Oh, we understand, but why doesn't the second master have to do this in the summer, he can still bear melons?" Zhao Yi asked again.

"Alas, what stupid, have you ever seen bees and butterflies in winter? You're working for them right now! Zhao Ta tapped lightly on his head with a brush and said, Zhao Yi touched his head and grinned.

"Second master, we all understand, you rest, let's do it!" Zhao Ren saw that everyone understood, and said with a smile.

"Okay, this hour is the best time for pollination, it must be done before noon, and I will make a good dish to treat everyone!" Zhao Ta looked at everyone and said, "Zhao Xin, you give me a hand, help me deal with those sparrows, see you go to the kitchen to get some oil and salt seasoning, more oil!" ”

"Okay!" Seeing that he happily agreed, he licked his lips, the pork that the prince made last time was really delicious, and today he did it himself, and he was able to satisfy his hunger again.

"Second master, you've caught a lot!" Zhao Xin poured out the sparrows in the bag and exclaimed, there were one or two hundred large and small ones, all of which had their necks broken without exception.

"People die for money, birds die for food, they take their lives for stuttering!" Zhao Ta said and pulled out the dagger from his waist, if his grandfather knew that Zhao Ta was doing this with hundreds of daggers that he bought, I don't know what Lu Dao would say, but he didn't care like a loser, he just let the dagger see blood.

He picked up a sparrow, gently made a small opening in the abdomen, broke the claws, divided the two small hands about the left, and took off the sparrow's 'clothes', then cut off the head neatly, cut open the stomach with a knife, cleaned the internal organs, and threw it into a dug pit with his hands, and put the meat in a basin. ,

Zhao Xin watched in surprise as the prince skillfully peeled the skin, cleaned up the internal organs, and acted neatly, without even a little blood on his hands, not like a novice, "Second master, do you often do this?" He crouched down and asked curiously.

"Hehe, how can I have that opportunity, maybe I was born!" Zhao Ta smiled and said, this is the craft of the previous life, but it can't be said that this is what I learned in my previous life.

"Second master, I'll try it too!" Zhao Xin took out a knife from his arms and said.

"Okay, slow down, don't hurt your hands!" Zhao Ta said, Zhao Xin nodded, pulled out the knife, Zhao Ta suddenly found that although his knife was short but very delicate, the silver handle was wrapped with gold wire, and the dark green scabbard was inlaid with two pieces of white jade, the style was like the knife that modern Northwest ethnic minorities carry with them to cut meat when eating.

"Second master, why can't I get it?" Zhao Xin followed Zhao Ta's example to clean up the sparrows, but his hands were covered with blood, and the sparrows became fragmented.

"You're so stupid!" Zhao Ta said and put down the knife, grabbed his hand holding the knife and taught him, "You should start the knife from here, your hands should be light, you can only cut through the skin of the sparrow, don't hurt the flesh!" ”

"Second master, you let go..." Zhao Xin suddenly became twisted, his face turned crimson, and Zhao Ta noticed that the fingers of the little hand in his palm were slender, like thin onions, and smooth and delicate like a girl's hand.

"Ah, pseudo-mother!" Zhao Ta let go of his hand and snorted.

"Second master, what did you say?" Zhao Xin didn't understand what he meant, but he also knew that Lu Dao was not a good word, and asked with a flushed face.

"You, like a little girl, not a man!"

"Second master, you are talking nonsense, I am a man!" Zhao Xin suddenly stood up and said, he was anxious.

"Then you're like seeing joy, won't..." Zhao Ta suddenly felt that the little guy was very interesting, and teased him.

"Second master, you bully people!" Zhao Xin's eyes turned red, and tears fell.

"Zhao Xin, don't be rude to the second master!" Seeing that Xi brought a small yellow door to deliver the things he wanted, seeing that Zhao Xin was 'disrespectful', he reprimanded with a straight face.

"See Xi, don't blame him, I'm playing with him, isn't it Zhao Xin!" Zhao Ta said with a smile.

"I'm a subordinate, how dare I play with the second master?" Zhao Xin pouted and said, but it didn't seem to be angry anymore.

"Okay, I'm wrong, you're a man, not a girl!"

"Hmph, that's pretty much it!" Zhao Xin snorted coldly and said crisply, it doesn't look like a little girl, it is a little similar to everyone's young lady playing petty.

Zhao Xin learned very quickly, and after a while, he mastered the skills, and the speed of the two of them became faster, and when Zhao Ren and the others finished teaching the powder, the two of them had already cleaned up all the sparrows, and they all gathered around to see how Zhao Ta dealt with it.

Zhao Ta marinated the washed sparrows with seasonings, and then instructed Zhao Xin to put a pot on the fire and pour oil, "Second master, I brought all the oil from the kitchen, and you poured it into the pot at once?" Kanki asked in confusion.

"Oh, it's so delicious when it's fried!" Zhao Ta replied with a smile, he has been in and out of the kitchen many times these days, and understands that oil is still a relatively expensive thing in this era, oil is mostly used to light lamps, cooking is mainly steaming, oil is only used for frying, rarely used to fry vegetables, and the food is healthy, but it is a little unaccustomed to letting Zhao Ta, a traverser, eat it.

The oil boiled, Zhao Ta dipped some flour on the pickled sparrows and put them in the pot one by one, and after a while, the conservatory was filled with an attractive aroma, and the people around couldn't help licking their lips and swallowing saliva.

"See you, you taste it first, is it delicious?" Zhao Ta picked up a fried sparrow with chopsticks and sent it to him.

"Second master, you haven't eaten yet, I'm not in accordance with the rules to eat first!" Seeing the fried golden sparrow, he stretched out his hand and retracted it, and said in embarrassment.

"Cut, this time it's a rule, don't eat and pull down, Zhao Xin will give you a taste!" Zhao Ta said disdainfully, and handed the sparrow to Zhao Xin, and he hurriedly took it, but he didn't expect this good thing to fall on his head.

"Don't patronize and eat, it's delicious or not!" Zhao Yong looked at Zhao Xin and only swallowed his saliva and asked anxiously.

"Chew the bones together, it's delicious to eat like that!" Zhao said.

"You mean?" Everyone else was in a hurry, and followed Zhao Xinba and clicked his mouth.

"It's delicious, it's delicious, it's been a long time since I've eaten something so delicious!" Zhao Xin licked his tongue and said with a retrospective taste.

"Cut, can the things made by the second master be delicious, you don't need to taste it!" Seeing Xi's words with sourness, he said stupidly, he regretted a little that he had lost the opportunity to taste the first bite just now.

"Get out of the way, drop your eyes in the pot and fry it for you!" The people surrounding Zhao Xin got the letter, and in a blink of an eye, they all gathered around the oil pot, looking at the sparrows rolling with the oil flowers inside.

"Okay, try it one by one, don't surround it, I can't work!" Zhao Ta took out a pot and put it in the basin and said helplessly. Everyone cheered, and the hands were already snatched up, and they ate with relish despite the hot mouth.

"Damn, I'll let you learn the rules when I go back!" Seeing that Xi was holding the shelf, his hand was slow, and he only caught a sparrow thigh the thickness of a toothpick, and looked at the happy little guys and muttered hatefully.

······

Zhilu said that Zhao Ta soaked in the conservatory again, and the kitchen sent Zhao Ta's lunch together, he washed his hands in the canal, rubbed his hands on his body, and took the rice bowl handed over by Jianxi, and suddenly found that the little guys were hiding on the side, squatting together on the ground and preparing to eat around the vegetable basin, and he was left alone here, Zhao Ta looked at it curiously and his face was cold.
