Chapter 231: Grilled Fish
Just escaped from the city and didn't know where to go, so he asked Li Jinan and decided to go west, after all, he had to go to the Western Regions, but he unknowingly walked into a deep forest.
It was already a cold winter, and although there was a warm sun, the wind was still cold. The sunlight sprinkled on the ice, refracted countless fragments of light, and imprinted on the leaves of the trees by the lake, making it seem that this winter day is not bleak, but extraordinarily warm.
There was only a light snowfall, and the snow on the ground was not thick, only a thin layer, but it happened to cover the tips of the trees in the distant mountains and forests, and under the white expanse, it was the same green all year round.
Gu Feiyan fell in love with it as soon as he arrived here, stopped and walked slowly by the river to look at the frozen lake, raised his hand to slightly cover the light refracted by the lake, and looked at the mountains and forests under the snow, revealing a trace of green in the snow. This is different from the palace, which makes her rarely immersed. Listening to the birdsong beside her, she only felt that the scenery in front of her was more like early spring than winter.
Gu Feiyan thought that there should be no more pursuers to catch up when he arrived here, so he turned around and discussed with Li Jinan to camp here. Li Jinan was a little embarrassed, it was really inappropriate to camp in the wild in the cold winter, but when he saw her smile, he felt that this proposal was not bad.
Li Jinan nodded and ordered the guards to set up camp quickly, and even asked people to hurry up and light the fire, so that they could not smoke coldly. still
I saw Gu Feiyan squatting down against the frozen lake.
Li Jinan stood behind her, frowning, not knowing what to say. was about to speak, but saw Gu Feiyan turn to look at the lake and ask him, "Hey, do you eat grilled fish?" ”
Li Jinan was a little unresponsive to such a clueless question, and Gu Feiyan asked again when he saw that he didn't reply for a long time. Seeing Li Jinan nodding, he reached out and patted the person's shoulder: "Then you can help catch a few fish." After speaking, without waiting for Li Jin'an to reply, he walked like looking for a cleaner branch in the woods on the side, so that he could grill the fish for a while. He also took out the insect repellent powder and some poison powder in his medicine box and handed them to the guards, so that they could sprinkle them around separately to prevent poisonous insects and beasts from attacking.
Here, Gu Feiyan was busy picking up clean branches after making arrangements, but Li Jinan was a little overwhelmed when he looked at the frozen lake. Gu Feiyan was happy when he saw this, so he simply called the guards to poke a hole with a gun and sword in the thin ice on the lake, so that the guards could catch fish.
In winter, the fish in the lake lacked food, and some people dug holes, and dropped a few pieces of dry food, so they rushed around the mouth of the hole to grab food, and the guards caught the fish one by one.
As soon as the fish was grasped, it was taken and handed to Gu Feiyan, and a bonfire had already been set up to boil hot water. I saw that she took out the dagger she carried with her, and with a few fingers and flipped, she disposed of the fish scales, and after breaking the belly of the fish, she mixed it with hot water to wash the fish inside and out, and sent someone to dig a pit and bury the useless internal organs. In the wilderness, in the cold winter and the moon, I am most afraid that this blood will attract large beasts, so it must be dealt with properly.
After cleaning up the fish maw, take out the bottles and jars in your medicine box, which not only contain medicinal materials, but also spices. Take a few slices of ginger and put them in the fish maw, sprinkle them with salt, take out the tangerine peel, cinnamon, shan-nai, and cloves, and stuff them into the fish maw in turn. Finally, use thread to suture the fish maw, and take the perilla leaves and stuff them into the suture of the fish maw.
After the fish is processed, it is taken from a branch that has been cut off a long time ago, and it is inserted by the fire to watch and roast. Gu Feiyan was very worried at first about whether he would make this fish unpalatable, but when the fragrance slowly wafted in, Gu Feiyan knew that he had succeeded.
Li Jinan thought at first that it was just ordinary grilled fish, and Gu Feiyan was the mother of the palace, so he couldn't do this, but he never thought that Gu Feiyan's knife skills were very good.
Watching her skillfully turn the direction of the branches while observing the surface of the fish skin, you can feel that Liu Feiyan is really good at cooking grilled fish. I didn't expect that the fish grilled in her hand had a taste that ordinary people couldn't bake. I heard the guard say that he stuffed medicinal herbs into the belly of the fish.
In addition to admiration and expectation, Li Jin'an heard for the first time that medicinal herbs can also be stuffed in grilled fish. But when I thought that I couldn't afford her in the first place, and now I was accompanying myself to find the antidote to Gu poison, but because of myself, I had to let her stay with her. I already got a lot of girls, and now where is there any reason to let her help cook, so I want to reach out and help her, but I don't want to be slapped on the back of my hand.
"What to do? How long has this fish been grilled, and it's not good, what are you anxious about? Gu Feiyan thought that Li Jinan couldn't help but want to taste the fragrance, but Li Jinan was a little uncomfortable with his joking eyes, and quickly explained: "No...... No, I'm trying to say that we men still come to grill fish. You've worked so hard for so long, and it's hard to trouble you to cook. As he explained, he reached out and prepared to bring the fish again.
Gu Feiyan was a little helpless when he heard him say this, he really didn't know what to say about him, he just felt that this person was really macho, he rolled his eyes silently and slapped his hand away again, and slowly roasted the fish on the other side, so as not to let Li Jinan touch it: "Forget it, Li Jinan, my fish is not only for you, but I also want to eat it myself." So it's not a special service to you, rest assured. ”
The branches are still turning unhurriedly in their hands, so that the fish can be grilled more evenly.
"You don't have to feel like you owe me anything because I followed you in search of a cure. I'm just using you to go out of the palace to seek a peace, and everyone takes what they need. ”
Gu Feiyan thought that this person should be relieved, but he never thought that Li Jinan would not listen to her persuasion at all, and wanted to reduce the burden for her, so he snatched the fish over and helped roast it.
As soon as he saw Li Jinan stretching out his hand, Gu Feiyan had to move farther away, and Li Jinan would be very good, and Gu Feiyan said a bunch of words, all of which were taken as a deaf ear, and he passed after saying it.
Gu Feiyan was a little angry by this act of fighting for it, and got up and retreated away from this person, but forgot to take the fish as well.
While retreating, he pretended to warn with a tiger face, and pointed at Li Jinan to make him stop: "Li Jinan, you have to listen to me no matter what you say." Coming to the Western Regions was for you at the beginning, and secondly, I was also the emperor's concubine, do you understand? Just sit down and don't come any closer, that's the order. While commanding, he also threatened: "If it's my fish...... Wait, what's the smell? ”
Gu Feiyan moved his nose and sniffed, thinking that if his fish was bad, he would let Li Jinan catch the fish for him again. As a result, before he finished speaking, he looked down and found that it was the fish that was wrong, Gu Feiyan was a little angry, and quickly took the fish down, but it was still confused.
