Chapter 171: Spicy Snails

The back kitchen of Xunyan Tower is very spacious, since Duan Qinqin occupied the back kitchen, he let people connect the kitchen with the courtyard outside, and made it into a semi-open-air kitchen.

On one side is oil and salt fireworks, and on the other side is poetic spring, but it is very interesting.

Duan Qinqin, as the person in charge, was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground.

Xiao Liu, Yan'er, and Qiu Tong were on the side, and Huaiyu was disgusted by Duan Qinqin and Xiao Liu several times, so she simply sat in the courtyard and watched them busy.

This rare leisurely reminded Huaiyu of Li Shougui's sentence "Then you are so happy", spread his five fingers, Huaiyu looked at the crisscrossing lines of his palms, this is a pair of hands holding a sword to kill.

Is it still worthy, do you have happiness in your hands?

The death of the two young ladies of the Li family made Huaiyu fall into a kind of doubt about herself, although she already knew who the murderer was at this moment, but she was a little hesitant.

On the one hand, the Gu family army has not yet gained a firm foothold, unlike in Xiangcheng, where Wu Yin is too guarded, and unlike in Yundu, it has always been the base of the Gu family army.

Anqing is still a half-new and half-old Anqing.

On the one hand, most of the poor people are grateful to the soldiers of the Gu family, and there is no doubt about the support and support of this part of the people for Huaiyu;

On the other hand, the wealthy squires of Anqing and many dignitaries related to Kyoto were still loyal to the Dayu court and were very resistant to Huaiyu's Gu Jiajun.

Gu Jiajun said that it is a rebel army at a good point, but it is actually a chaotic minister and thief if it is not good, although it is under the banner of fixing the world, but the name is not right, everyone in the world knows that she Gu Huaiyu is the daughter of Gu Yanhe, the general who flooded Yundu back then, only when she is to avenge her personal revenge, so the people of the world who have not received the favor of Gu Jiajun are not a few who denounce Gu Jiajun.

Of course, she did do it for revenge.

It's just that after witnessing the shattering of mountains and rivers, witnessing the death of soldiers in battle, and witnessing the suffering of the people, Huaiyu mourned in his heart.

Moreover, Emperor Youqing is dead, and Huaiyu has a heart of revenge and doesn't know where to go.

Huaiyu laughed at herself, Gu Huaiyu, Gu Huaiyu, you are clearly a selfish person, why are you thinking about the so-called righteousness of the world now?

"Huaiyu, where are you in a daze? Come and taste what this spicy snail tastes like. ”

Huaiyu came back to his senses and walked over, curious, "Ah, where did the snail come from?" ”

Qiu Tong replied, "Miss An sent someone to send it, saying that it was a snail caught in the stream in the back mountain, and sent it to the girl to taste." ”

"It's rare for Ah Wen to remember." Duan Qinqin sandwiched a spicy snail and put it in Huaiyu's mouth, "As the saying goes, 'Qingming snails, race geese', it's best to eat snails at this time." ”

Huaiyu sucked hard, spit out the shell, the fat meat of the snail and the spicy fragrance rippled in the mouth, fresh and spicy, and asked while inhaling, "Sister Qin is also so particular about eating." ”

Duan Qinqin clipped her with another one, and smiled dotingly, "You also studied medicine with us, why don't you know the truth of 'not eating from time to time'?" Eat wild vegetables in spring, taste cold melon in summer, duck meat in autumn, and beef and sheep in winter. The interest of ingredients lies in the fact that they have their own natural growth principles, and you can eat what you should eat at any time, and you must not be in a hurry. ”

She also tasted one herself, and Xiaoyanagi and Yan'er took their chopsticks and ate them as well.

"Miss Qin, what does Qingming say about eating snails?"

Duan Qinqin looked at Qiu Tong, who was asking, and said very enthusiastically, "There is a saying that 'peach blossoms and flowing water spring shoots up, and the most delicious time is the river freshness', that is, every Qingming Festival, the plan for the handover of spring and summer is the time to eat seafood." The snail that Ah Wen sent is the green snail in the deep mountain stream, the shell is slender, the snail meat is small and tight, full of umami, and the snail leaves are added to taste, and the fried snail is more fragrant and attractive."

"Okay, Miss Qin, don't talk about it, and besides, this plate of snails will be eaten by us."

Duan Qinqin waved his hand, "If you like it, you can eat more, but Huaiyu can't eat more." ”

She looked at Huaiyu and smiled.

Huaiyu nodded.

She remembered the medical description

People with snail cold, spleen and stomach deficiency, loose stools and diarrhea should avoid eating; Avoid eating during the period of wind chill and cold; Women should avoid eating during menstruation and after childbirth; People who have been suffering from stomach cold should avoid eating.

Fortunately, Huaiyu is not a greedy person, so after tasting a few and praising it, he returned to the courtyard and sat down on the stone bench.

"Ah Ze and Chunqiang haven't come back yet?"

"Oh." Qiu Tong put down his chopsticks and said, "When Miss An sent someone to send snails, she said that she would leave Pei Gongzi in Anfu tonight, and send them back after dinner." ”

In this way, Huaiyu was silent and stopped talking.

After dinner, Ah Wei came to report about Lin Xiangru and Yan'er, because he saw that Yan'er happened to be playing chess with Xiaoliu, so he skipped to tell Huaiyu about what he investigated about Yan'er, and only talked about Lin Xiangru's background.

"Li Shougui is right, Lin Xiangru is the domestic slave of the Li Mansion, but his father and mother have been dead for many years. Li Shougui grew up with him since he was a child, he didn't have to be a stranger, he didn't see him as a subordinate at all, and Old Lady Li also liked Lin Xiangru very much when he was alive, and only regarded him as his other son. ”

What Ah Wei said was expected by Huaiyu.

Huaiyu felt a great headache: "Let Yang Duwei send someone to Wuyi Lane to bring Lin Xiangru back to the mansion." ”

She had already thought about it, Anqing now has no leader, although Yang Huance has the power to exercise the prefect, but he has not called himself the prefect of Anqing, but has always let the people call him General Yang.

If this continues, the Anqing Mansion will become more and more useless.

And this is by no means what Huaiyu wants to see.

The arrest of Lin Xiangru happened to be an opportunity, an opportunity to push Yang Huance in front of the people of Anqing as the prefect.

Huaiyu looked up at Ah Wei, unsure if what he was doing was right.

Ah Wei said solemnly: "If the girl wants to do it, just do it." ”

Huai Yu smiled.

She knew that they were all behind her and would always support her.

merely

"There should be a pregnant woman next to Lin Xiangru, don't hurt her." Huaiyu looked at Yan'er, who was smiling happily inside, and lowered her voice.

Ah Wei comprehended: "The girl wants to take that girl with you?" ”

He had investigated Yan'er, and of course he knew about her mother's situation.

Huaiyu nodded, and said, "After Yang Huance is done over there, ask him to come to see me." ”

Although it had always been the idea of keeping him in Anqing, Huaiyu had never asked for his opinion.

First, she believed in Uncle Gu, since Uncle Gu had let Yang Huance stay in Anqing Mansion, he must have talked to him;

Second, Huaiyu is not very good at communicating with people, and what he usually has to do is to just give orders and finish, and rarely consider everyone's wishes.

From now on, though, she won't be the same as she used to be.
