Chapter 76: The Gentlemen Feast Together
Chapter 76: The Gentlemen Feast Together
It didn't take long for the scene that happened in front of Liu Yi's tent to spread throughout the camp, and for a while, many officials and their families in the background praised Ning Jun, but scolded the forbidden army named Xiao Wu for being bloody, and even felt a little dissatisfied with Liu Yi.
As the sky darkens, wisps of smoke rise from the surrounding camp, mixed with the light cast by the stars and the moon, adding a little warmth to the lively camp in March.
Xu Mengmeng, Jinchen and Qingli found an open space far away from the main tent and sat down, lit a bonfire, set up the processed pheasants and rabbits and other prey, and roasted them attentively.
In a moment, the inside was roasted to a golden brown, a little oil dripped down, and a few wisps of fire jumped up, Xu Mengmeng's injured left hand gently flipped the roast stick, and the right hand brushed the previously prepared seasoning on the yellowed chicken, and the fragrance of the seasoning mixed with the aroma of meat diffused out......
"If you haven't eaten yet, let's sit down together!" Hearing footsteps similar to last night, Xu Mengmeng said without looking back, since her mind is unacceptable, then treat her better before she gets married!
Zhao Qianrou took Yuqin and sat down not far from Xu Mengmeng by the fire, quietly watching Xu Mengmeng's movements.
After roasting for a while, Xu Mengmeng took out the dagger he carried and cut a cut on the chicken breast, looked at the yellowed meat inside, put away the dagger with satisfaction, tore off a chicken leg and held it in his hand, looked around, and patted the shoulder of the glimpse beside him: "Go to the tent and get some clean paper, and by the way, let someone get some tea!" ”
After a while, Glimpsing took someone to move a low table over, Xu Mengmeng took a piece of paper and wrapped the bottom of the chicken leg and handed it to Zhao Qianrou: "Homemade seasoning, the taste is a little heavy, try it, if you can't get used to it, I'll bake it again for you!" ”
"Thank you!" Zhao Qianrou took it with a blushing face, and said thank you in a low voice, sweet in her heart.
Xu Mengmeng nodded lightly and tore off another chicken leg, also wrapped it in paper and handed it to the little maid beside her.
Li Muqing, who had just been found by "Ning Jun", happened to see this scene, and immediately turned red with anger, and stared at Xu Mengmeng with a pair of red eyes, which made Yuqin difficult to reach out for a while.
"Take it! Glimpse, tear off your roasted chicken leg and give it to Miss Li! Xu Mengmeng handed the chicken leg in his hand forward, and said to the glimpse by the way.
"Oh" Glimpse pursed her lips, and reluctantly tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Li Muqing.
"Hmph~ Who scarces your chicken legs!" Li Muqing turned his head and glared at the shadow fiercely, and saw that he directly withdrew his hand and stuffed the chicken leg into his mouth.
"You ......" Li Muqing pointed to the glimpse, so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time.
"Fool" Xu Mengmeng glanced at the shadow with disgust, then ripped off a chicken wing, wrapped it in paper, and handed it to Li Muqing.
"Why are they chicken legs and I am chicken wings?" Li Muqing glanced at the chicken legs in the hands of Zhao Qianrou and the others, and then at the chicken wings handed over to him, and met Xu Mengmeng's cool eyes, so she had to reluctantly take the chicken wings and sit down.
"If you don't like it, don't eat it!" Xu Mengmeng said lightly.
Li Muqing glared at her, lowered her head, and ate quietly.
A few people wanted to enjoy the food quietly, but some people couldn't see it, and a meaningful voice sounded from behind Xu Mengmeng: "It's still our General Ning who is powerful, not only can he save people under the tiger, but even the roasted meat is more fragrant than others!" ”
Hearing An Qingyuan's slightly familiar sarcasm behind him, Xu Mengmeng paused as he gnawed on the chicken, and a few wisps of complexity appeared in his eyes, and then he quickly regained his composure and threw the gnawed bones into the fire.
"I wonder if we will have the honor of tasting the meat roasted by the general himself today?" Another cold voice similar to An Qingyuan sounded, and Xu Mengmeng glanced back, and the face under the mask looked inexplicable.
"You don't have this honor! If you're a man, you can bake it yourself if you want to! Originally, after staying in the court for a while, Xu Mengmeng still had some appreciation for Song Jinyan, who already knew a little about his personality, but seeing that he was actually friendly with a scheming person like An Qingyuan, that appreciation naturally faded.
But these two people are thick-skinned, and their words are full of the meaning of driving people, she doesn't believe that the two smart people can't understand, and when they understand it, they pretend to be stupid to themselves, and sit down directly by the fire.
"I've never seen a tiger before, I can't imagine that it's so fierce that even General Ning can't catch it!" An Qingyuan glanced at Xu Mengmeng on the side and said meaningfully.
"Yes, so it's a kind of luck not to see it, otherwise Lord An may not be as lucky as me and Commander Liu to escape from its mouth!" Xu Mengmeng didn't understand the deep meaning of his words, and looked him up and down coldly.
"It makes sense, the tiger is fierce, if it is not for an extraordinary person like the general, once encountered, I am afraid that there will be more than one luck. I just heard my subordinates mention that the general not only retreated from the beast, but also had first-class barbecue skills, I don't know who I and the fifth brother can have a taste today? Xu Mengmeng's words fell, and the voice of the smiling tiger of the Seven Princes came from behind him.
"It was Ning's luck to be appreciated by the two highnesses, but Ning was injured, and he was already holding on, so I'm afraid you can only do it yourself! The things that Ning took are no different from you, if they are delicious, they are just hunting and roasting! Xu Mengmeng ignored the temptation of the smiling tiger and said lightly.
Most of the people present were human spirits, so they naturally understood her voice: she didn't conspire with others about the matter in the forest, and she wouldn't participate in the camps of both sides in the future, so don't think about using her.
Sima Xun didn't care, pulled Sima Xi and sat down directly next to Song An, glanced at Xu Mengmeng, who was there by the old god, and said: "Since the general said so, then the fifth brother and I will borrow the general's prey and spices to try it ourselves, and see who has the better meat to roast!" ”
Xu Mengmeng also understood Sima Xun's words: You don't know how to lift, then don't blame us for taking you as a chess!
"I'm afraid this will disappoint the two princes, Ning Mou saw that his brothers had been working hard for the past few days, and he had already distributed his prey and spices to them, and all the talents left behind were also eaten." Xu Mengmeng threw the last chicken bone in his hand into the fire, took the paper on the side and carefully wiped the oil stains on his hands.
"So I had to borrow fire from General Ning!" Sima Xun said unyieldingly.
"Fire, Ning has run out, everyone is free! However, Ning is a little interested in a few hand-made barbecues, so he doesn't mind Ning watching here, right? Xu Mengmeng's meaning is very simple, that is, he plans to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
"General Ning plans to watch from the side of the fire, but he still needs to pay attention to avoid being injured by the fire!" An Qingyuan, who had not spoken at this time, 'reminded' again.
"Thank you, Lord Ann, for the reminder! However, Ning is not a dull person, so he will not set himself on fire! Xu Mengmeng raised her head and looked at a few people through the fire, and said firmly.
It seems that a few people are afraid that they will do it soon, so she will wait and see what happens!
