The next day, Gu Changning accompanied Chen Shuang and the others to the river to take a look, and saw that there were only two or three small fish one finger long in the bamboo basket, and several people let the small fish go with regret.

Such a small fish is generally only eaten by people who have a famine or can't eat, and usually everyone catches it and releases it directly, and keeps it to let it grow up and catch it.

Because such a small fish, one to eat at most one or two pieces of meat will be gone, not a top matter, and when it grows up, it is a few pounds of big fish, than eating it now, it is more cost-effective, and the second is to eat the small fish, which is equivalent to catching the fish that grow up next year in advance, then there will be fewer fish that can reproduce next year, and the number will be less.

Therefore, for the sake of long-term consideration, all very small fish are not allowed to be eaten, this is a rule left by our ancestors from their own experience, even children understand, and they naturally understand.

After letting go of the fish, everyone was ready to go back, Gu Changning also followed them and walked out of the forest, and as she walked, her back was suddenly hit by something, but it didn't hurt much, but it scared her.

Gu Changning looked back at the ground with a confused face, and found that what was used to smash her was a small green fruit.

She raised her head again and looked around, and saw the old beggar she had met yesterday lying on a tree and waving at her with a grin, looking very leisurely.

Gu Changning saw that it was him, with a black line on his face, and was about to turn around and leave, when he caught a glimpse of the old beggar picking a small fruit and was about to smash it at her, Gu Changning's eyes immediately swept towards him and glared, seeing that he looked like "I dare to throw it if you dare to go", he could only frown and say goodbye to the little sisters in the forest.

"Wait a minute." Gu Changning shouted to the little sisters who were already some distance away from her, "You guys go first, I'll stay here and pick up some dry firewood and go back." ”

"Do you want us to stay with you?" Chen Shuang turned around and asked.

"No, I'll pick up the dead branches on the ground, and it won't take long, you can go back first." Gu Changning waved his hand.

"That's fine." Chen Shuang nodded, and then several people left the grove together.

"Why did you throw me?" Gu Changning walked under the tree where the old beggar was lying and asked unhappily.

"Little girl, did you have something important to do with your life some time ago, such as a serious illness and dying." The old beggar asked with a wink.

The corners of Gu Changning's mouth twitched: "I've disappointed you, no!" ”

What a serious illness and the kind that is dying, she is in good health!

"That's not right......," the old beggar pondered, frowning.

"What's wrong, do you wish I was sick and dying?" Gu Changning glared at him with a dark face.

"No, no, why do I want you to be sick and dying." The old beggar shook his hand and replied.

"Then why do you say that?"

"I just find it strange that you have such a ...... face," the old beggar looked at her carefully.

"What's wrong with my face?" Gu Changning raised his head and asked with a displeased expression.

"You look weird!"

"......" Gu Changning felt that he was crazy to fight with him for so long.

Gu Changning immediately turned around and was about to leave without hesitation.

"Don't go, little girl, I haven't finished my words yet!"

"Say what? Say you think my face is weird? Gu Changning squinted at him and said with a smile.

The old beggar paused and said, "Little girl, I know that you may not believe my words, but I learned a few palmistries when I was young, and I know a little bit about the way of physiognomy, I don't lie to you, your face has been changed!" ”

"Really?" Gu Changning looked at him suspiciously, "Then you can tell me, I have been changed for the better or worse, if it is changed, you don't tell me." ”

"Why?"

"It's all changed, what else do I need to know?" Isn't that a very simple truth?

The old beggar suddenly felt very reasonable, "yes, then you can go." ”

Gu Changning didn't speak, but his brows moved slightly.

Look at it like this, has her face been changed?

Gu Changning couldn't be completely at ease with this old beggar, she just wanted to leave, but she saw the old beggar suddenly turn over and jump off the tree, running towards a certain place, and shouted anxiously as she ran: "It's broken, it's broken, it's going to be broken!" ”

What's going to break?

Gu Changning was not a very curious person, but this old beggar appeared too strangely, and what he said was also very confusing, seeing his flustered appearance in a hurry at this moment, Gu Changning couldn't help but stop and stared at him silently to see what he wanted to do.

The old beggar ran to a fire, picked up a dead branch with swift movements, extinguished the burning fire, swept it away with the branch, and then dug up the dirt in that place, and saw a black peat appear in the pit dug.

The old beggar couldn't wait to reach out and take it out, but as soon as his hand touched the black charcoal, he immediately retracted it and kept making a "hissing" sound in his mouth, but it didn't stop him from continuing to stretch out his hand to the black charcoal.

Gu Changning squinted his eyes and looked at it, about what it was.

If she guessed correctly, it should be the rich chicken made by the old beggar himself.

"Ahh The old beggar finally smashed the soil on the outer layer of the chicken, and took a bite of the chicken with anticipation, but he was shocked by the tasteless chicken, and spit on the ground on the spot, with a unhappy face, "What else do you say This is a famous delicacy, and the person who said this has lost his sense of taste!" ”

After that, he took a few more sips.

"This rich chicken is indeed a rare delicacy, but your method is wrong, so naturally you can't make the flavor of rich chicken." Gu Changning didn't know why, he suddenly took the initiative to talk to him.

After realizing this, Gu Changning felt that he was a little inexplicable, so he decided to leave here first.

"Wait, wait, you know this thing is called a rich chicken?" When the old beggar heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, "Then you know how to do it?" ”

"Of course."

“…… But you don't look like a child of a rich family, how can you make this rich chicken? The old beggar glanced at what she was wearing, and said with some disbelief.

"......" Gu Changning looked at him speechlessly, "Why do I have to let you believe it?" ”

"Na, if you know how to make this rich chicken, as long as you can do it for me for Xiao Lao'er, if you have anything to need, just ask me, and I'll get it for you!"

"You?" Gu Changning twitched the corner of his mouth, "Then forget it." ”

What she needs most is silver taels, and unfortunately, the one in front of her obviously needs it.

"Don't, don't, you tell me what you need first, how do you know that I don't have it?" When the old beggar saw that she was leaving, he hurriedly said.

Gu Changning heard this, and originally wanted to say that since this is the case, then you can get me a few taels of silver to come out and take a look, but she thought about it, she can handle the matter of silver herself, and she doesn't need this old beggar to help get it.

Besides, if he can really get it, why should he be like this?

Thinking of this, Gu Changning dissipated his thoughts and said, "I don't need anything either." ”

The old beggar was anxious to speak when he heard this, but Gu Changning stopped him in time.

"I don't need anything, but for the sake of what you just told me that your face was changed, I'll make it for you."

"Really?" The old beggar's eyes lit up and he said happily.

"Seriously."

"Okay, then I'll go get another chicken." The old beggar was about to leave, but Gu Changning hurriedly called out to him.

"Not today, I have to go home now, and you don't have the spices you need to make rich chickens, so you can't do it."

"Spices? What spices? The old beggar wondered, isn't it good to wrap the rich chicken in soil and simmer it?

"A rich chicken without spices is a rich chicken without a soul, it tastes the same as the one you just ate, what, do you want to taste it again?"

"No, no, no." When the old beggar heard this, he felt very reasonable, and immediately agreed.

"So, you go and find the spices I said, and when you find all the spices, I'll help you make this rich chicken."

As she spoke, she told the old beggar about the spices she needed, and the old beggar wrote them down with a serious expression, and she was already hungry.

"Eh, then when will you be able to get this rich chicken for the little old man?" When he saw that Gu Changning was about to leave after speaking, he suddenly remembered this stubble and asked.

Don't wait until he has prepared his things, and the little girl will be gone.

"That's it, I see that it's raining these days, and the soil is wet/wet, so it's not good to be this rich chicken, let's talk about it when the weather is clear."

"Well, that's okay, I live in the broken temple in front, when you are ready, come to the temple to find the little old man." The old beggar said with a restrained urge to eat.

Gu Changning nodded, picked up a few branches that fell on the ground and went home.

It was pouring rain at night for the past few days, and many branches of trees had been broken by the wind in the forest, and it was a matter of picking them up.

On the way back, he met Uncle Orion again, and Gu Changning said hello to him and talked a few words before parting.

Gu Changning, who was in a hurry to go back, didn't notice that Uncle He, who was behind her, had been standing in place, looking at her back with deep eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, until her figure disappeared at the end, Uncle He turned around and left.

After returning home, Gu Changning couldn't wait to find Yang Huiyun: "Auntie, where did you put that omnivorous book?" ”

Omnivorous is a cookbook that Grandpa Yang picked up when he was young, because the types of recipes recorded on it come from all over the world, and it is not based on a certain cuisine, and it looks like the person who wrote this book copied it by hand according to the food he had eaten or heard, so Grandpa Yang named the book Omnivorous.

Gu Changning read this book when she was very young, but she was not interested in cooking at that time, and later she kept forgetting it, if it wasn't for the rich chicken just now, she couldn't remember that there was this thing from home.

Because she saw this recipe of rich chicken from the book, she didn't learn it from the cook in the small kitchen in her previous life, so it can be regarded as the old beggar who reminded her.

In fact, this rich chicken can also be called "called flower chicken", and it is said that the inventor of this dish is a person named Hanako, from which the name of the flower chicken comes from.

Later, after the production method of this dish was spread, some people felt that the name of the flower chicken was not elegant enough, and they were afraid that those rich and noble people would not want to look at it when they heard the name, so they changed it to rich chicken to attract guests.

Yang Huiyun was changing Gu Shan's winter clothes to a smaller size, and suddenly heard Gu Changning's question, and said with a little surprise: "What do you want this for?" ”
