Chapter 21, Good Errand
"It's cute or not, I don't know, I just know that it should taste good when braised and steamed and grilled."
Gu Tingcheng wanted to hit his younger brother. Looking at the snake all over the ground, he looked at his brother again.
I really don't know what kind of bad taste he has, and what animals he likes are bad? I actually like snakes, and I have a lot of fun watching him play.
But she didn't expect that Gu Xueyan's love for snakes was like this.
"Sister, have you eaten it? Is it tasty? I want to eat it too. Looking at her sister with sparkling eyes, and hearing her sister say that she could eat it, Gu Xueyan instantly felt a little drooling.
He didn't know why he liked these snakes, anyway, he was so excited to see so many snakes coming.
I feel that the snake is so cute, he likes it so much.
I think it tastes good when it's cooked, right?
"I haven't eaten it, but you can try it." Gu Qingcheng stroked his head silently, and glanced at his stupid brother impatiently. Only then did he turn his head and ask Liu Qingfeng next to him.
"How did you get that? Ready to sleep in the snake den at night? Although there is no one around us, if someone passes by and sees it, don't be scared to death! Get them out of here. ”
You must know that this ancient period was very feudal and superstitious, and it would not be fun if it was regarded as a demon.
"Sister, I want to eat snakes." Hearing that the snakes were going to be released, Gu Xueyan was a little unhappy.
"Then leave two, I'll bake them later, and I'll give you a taste." touched Gu Xueyan's head.
"Okay." When I heard my sister say that I would roast the snake later, I was immediately excited, and I turned around and prepared to look for a big one in the snake pile.
"These snakes are venomous." Liu Qingfeng looked at the sister and brother who were out of tune, and said silently.
Who knew that this woman ignored him, glanced at him, went straight into the house, and came out with a kitchen knife after a while! And walked towards him
"What are you doing with a knife? I didn't offend you. Liu Qingfeng was stunned and looked vigilant.
"If you really offended me, you wouldn't be here." Who would have thought that Gu Qingcheng just walked by his side, alas, it seemed that he was too nervous.
Gu Qingcheng passed by the snakes on the ground, and they all kicked to the side, these snakes are now controlled and will not attack people.
Until he saw a fat and non-venomous snake, Gu Qingcheng picked up the kitchen knife and threw it out!
Seven inches in the middle, Liu Qingfeng's expression was a little stiff, this girl is really not easy to mess with, is she so violent.
He had never seen a woman like this in front of him, how to describe it, should he say it was rude, or did he disregard his image? He said he was a little struggling.
The surrounding snakes seemed to smell blood, and they were all a little restless, Liu Qingfeng saw this, so he blew the flute, and after a while, the snakes were gone, and they dispersed quite quickly, leaving only the one on the ground.
Seeing that the snakes were all strung away, Gu Qingcheng was still holding the kitchen knife he had just picked up from the ground, and glanced at Liu Qingfeng leisurely, is a snake enough to eat? Or does he not want to eat it himself?
If he didn't eat it, he bent down and took the snake, so he went to peel and clean it, leaving Liu Qingfeng with an inexplicable face.
What did she look at him?
"Cousin, cousin, you haven't taught me yet? This snake attraction technique is so powerful, how to use it? Before Liu Qingfeng could figure out the meaning of that glance, he was entangled by Gu Xueyan.
"First you have to have a flute, and then you have to know the rhythm." Liu Qingfeng doesn't care about anything else, since he agreed to teach this little guy, then teach it well.
It seems that I have to live here for a while, this place is so remote, I can't find that little demon girl for a while.
"But what if I don't have a flute?" Gu Xueyan was a little disappointed.
"It's okay, I still have a small one here, this is a bone flute." Liu Qingfeng took out a small flute from his arms.
This bone flute is made of the leg bones of the crane, and it was still used by his master when he practiced for him back then.
"Thank you, cousin." happily raised his head to look at Liu Qingfeng, took the bone flute and played with it.
The feeling in the hand is cool, and the flute is smooth. It is white and feels lightweight, about 15 cm long.
"Come, I'll teach you the rhythm first. You listen carefully. Then Liu Qingfeng taught him one tone and one tone, and the two sat outside.
Ah Wu helped Gu Qingcheng to burn the fire inside, she originally wanted to barbecue snake meat, but unfortunately, this barbecue takes time, and there is only one snake, so it is impossible not to give Liu Qingfeng to eat, so she decided to braise it!
Anyway, now there are all the seasonings that should be there, and the most important one is chili, but it's okay to don't want chili peppers. Anyway, the taste will not be bad on the left and right.
Then he took out the jerky and tore it into shreds with Gu Awu.
also burned a steamed fish, and after a few dishes were ready, Gu Tingcheng found that there were wild vegetables next to him, which he took back at Aunt Zhao's house.
So after passing the wild vegetables through the water, they were mixed cold, and they smelled quite fragrant.
So he brought a few dishes to the table, and the people outside smelled it, and they came in without shouting.
"I didn't expect Miss Gu's craftsmanship to be quite good." Looking at the things on the table, all the colors and flavors are complete, and I suddenly feel that I don't know what I used to eat.
"How long are you going to stay with me?" Several people sat down at the table, and Gu Qingcheng looked up and asked Liu Qingfeng.
"Ahem, I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I may not leave for the time being, I promised to teach your brother martial arts and medical skills, so I'm also his master now! He has to be filial to Master, you can't drive me away. ”
Liu Qingfeng is dressed in white and looks handsome, but when he says such a thing, his face is not red and his heart is not beating, and he is very calm, which is really thick-skinned.
...... "What can Gu Tingcheng say?" looked at Gu Xueyan looking at her with expectant eyes. I had to pick up my rice bowl and eat by myself.
Several people also picked up their bowls and ate them.
"Sister, this snake meat is delicious. It's really cute, and it's delicious to eat. Gu Xueyan held snake meat in his hand and gnawed on it.
This snake meat is fragrant and tender, and it has the taste of peppercorns, which is really delicious, and Liu Qingfeng also added one piece after another.
I completely forgot who said it was poisonous.
This side is eating, and the other side is just out of work, and the village chief picks some honest people.
Because of the good salary, they went to work late today, so they decided to leave work later. That's why it's been until now, and it's not dark yet.
It's the best time at dusk.
A group of people walked to Zhao's house in twos and threes, and some were close to Zhao's house, so they went home directly to get bowls.
It was only one or two hundred meters away, and he also went to Zhao's house with the bowl he had prepared a long time ago.
The village chief's son led the team this time.
"Aunt Zhao, is the meal ready?" The village chief's son shouted outside the door. A crowd of people were waiting outside the door.
"Alright, come in." The door was open, and all the people went in.
"You've brought all the bowls, right?" Aunt Zhao asked enthusiastically.
"Brought it all, Aunt Zhao, where's the rice?" The rough voice of the first gentleman came.
"It's all in the kitchen, you guys are sitting in the courtyard now, I'll bring it out right away." With that, he went to the kitchen.
asked his son to go out with a big pot of rice, Li Qing still couldn't move, so he called the son of the village chief outside to help.
Soon, on the long table in the courtyard, there was a large pot of rice, a large pot of steamed buns, and then a pot of bean sprouts.
Everyone sighed, so rich! So much.
I saw that Aunt Zhao also brought a big basin over, and it was a little difficult, so several people went up to help.
"Is this a fish? Aunt Zhao, why is it so fragrant? A loud man asked.
When everyone heard that there were fish, they were a little surprised. Isn't this fish a rarity to them? But it's also worth a lot of money.
Who would be so generous to a worker? I'm afraid there is only the Gu family in this village.
Not to mention Hemen Village, maybe no one would be so generous even with the surrounding villages.
"Yes, Miss Gu sent it this afternoon. So you have to work hard. The aunt of the Zhao family also sighed a little.
Q: Why is this fish so fragrant? Then don't look at how many big ingredients are put in, you must know that these big ingredients are precious, but that Gu girl is willing to buy so much.
"Aunt Zhao, don't worry, you don't need to say it, we also know. Do you call us these or do we take them ourselves? "Seeing that everything was ready, everyone still knew the rules very well and didn't do it themselves.
"It's okay, you can take it yourself, anyway, Miss Gu said that each person has two steamed buns, a bowl of rice, and the dishes are arbitrary. This steamed bun was specially ordered by Miss Gu to be made bigger. ”
"yes, yes! It's twice as big as the steamed buns sold outside, so we're sure we're doing a good job. So everyone took two steamed buns by themselves very well, made a bowl of rice, and vegetables.
Know that their bowls are huge. Everyone was satisfied and ate here, and some wrapped the steamed buns in clean cloth and wanted to take them back to their daughters-in-law and children to eat.
"Eat here, the food is not enough, you can add it. Miss Gu said that she could also carry it back by herself. ”
"Really?" A group of gentlemen laughed happily like children.
As for why it is said that you can go back with it, there is a saying.
In these places, you only have to eat, not necessarily to feed you, but you can't take it with you anyway, and the rest of the soup has to be poured into the bucket and fed to the pigs.
"Of course it's true, why lie to you? There are so many fish left, you can go back and scoop some back. ”
Aunt Zhao thought that Gu Tingcheng let them take it back by themselves, which could be regarded as saving her trouble.
After all, in this way, many people are eating, and when they go home by themselves, they will not stay at her house, and it is getting late, and it is not suitable for a group of men to be at her house.
Also, she can clean up and rest early.
Sure enough, a group of people went back to their homes.
"Daughter-in-law, I'm back!" Zhang Dashu carefully held his bowl, still holding the steamed bun in his arms, and called before he entered the door.
"Why are you back now? Didn't you just go to dinner with a bowl? When his daughter-in-law heard the voice, she immediately ran out.
"Look, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's eat together! ”
You must know that these things are enough for the two of them to eat, and the family is not rich in normal times, who dares to eat so much in one meal?
Just this bowl of rice, I don't know how much white rice porridge can be boiled!
"Why did you come back with it? If you're like this, people will dare to ask you next time! Go back quickly. You see that life is so good, you can eat enough by yourself, and don't worry about me. ”
Zhang Dashu and his daughter-in-law immediately pushed him to go back quickly. After all, it's a good job, and it's not worth losing it.
