004 Anchovy

In order to get rid of Xiaotong's mother's suspicion, the big head hurriedly pointed to the brocade box in my hand and said, "Originally, the three of us went to catch the monkey, but we picked up this brocade box on the mountain." ”

Hearing the big head say this, I was so angry in my heart.

Obviously it was a gift from the iceberg beauty, and when the big head said this, according to the convention of those who saw it, the brocade box was for three people.

Xiaotong's mother asked me if I was with Xiaotong and Datou, and said that Datou was going to do something to Xiaotong, so I must tell her.

When I first came to the country, the first person who came to me to play was Datou, who was my first playmate in life, and although I was angry, I couldn't sell him.

I had no choice but to say that we were always together, and the big head was telling the truth.

Xiaotong's mother was relieved and didn't pursue it.

The adults of the two families also breathed a sigh of relief, and their curiosity shifted to the brocade box.

Xu Da was stunned and suddenly snatched the brocade box from my hand, dug open the wax on the seal with his fingernails, and opened the brocade box in one fell swoop.

Everyone craned their necks to look, and even I thought there must be some treasure inside.

The result disappointed everyone present.

There was no gold or silver treasure in the brocade box, but a long strip of ice, and in the ice cube was a fish more than half a foot long, and the scales were shiny.

Everyone said that this was the summer, how could there be ice cubes on the mountain on a hot day, and the ice cubes were packed in a gorgeous brocade box, and there was a fish in it, and they were talking about what kind of fish it was.

Xu Da was stunned and smiled and didn't speak.

Xu Da is a chef, there are red and white happy events within a radius of dozens of miles, and the meals he makes are very good.

My grandfather once told me that Xu Da's cooking skills were under the tutelage of famous masters, and he didn't want to go to the city to be constrained, so he ate in the countryside.

Everyone said Chef Xu, don't sell it, tell me what kind of fish this is.

Xu Da was really stunned, and he actually saw the origin of this fish, and he told everyone that this fish is called anchovy, and its origin is very unusual.

It turns out that anchovy is a specialty of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the taste is extremely delicious, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, anchovy is one of the royal favorite ingredients.

However, the anchovy dies when it comes out of the water, so it is immediately put into the ice cubes splashed with lard after fishing, and the land route is non-stop, and the water boats do not stop oaring, and they travel at a rapid speed day and night, all the way to the palace.

Xu Da was stunned and held up the ice cube for everyone to smell if there was a smell of lard.

Everyone smelled it, and sure enough, there was a smell of lard, Xiaotong's mother said that Xu Da was stunned that you were a deceitful, we are not the only way to enter Beijing, and now that the emperor is gone, how can there be tribute anchovies on this mountain.

Xu Da was stunned and said I don't understand this, but I won't admit it, this is indeed an anchovy, and the method of sealing this lard ice cube is the way to pay tribute in ancient times.

A flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, that iceberg beauty, the ancient costume on her body did not look like the dress of the Qing Dynasty, maybe she was the princess of the Ming Dynasty.

Maybe the iceberg beauty in the Ming Dynasty, somehow came to our side, suddenly fell ill and died, was buried on the mountain, absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, and then resurrected.

And this anchovy sealed in a brocade box is estimated to be one of her funeral goods.

Surely yes, her people are dead and can now be resurrected, a fish sealed in ice for hundreds of years, what's impossible.

I'm still a little excited when I think of this, I don't care about her priceless funeral goods, but I covet her beauty, if I can fall in love with her, how cool it would be.

If I become with her in the future, the two of them will have a baby with ancient royal blood, and see who dares to say that I am a dirty thing!

I had a lot of dreams in my head, my thoughts flew to the sky, and I couldn't help but drool again.

Xu Da was stunned and thought that I was hungry for that anchovy, and said Huangshan, don't worry, I'll cook this fish immediately, let's fight tooth sacrifices together.

The big head saw that Xiaotong's mother had shifted her attention, and the crisis was over, and she winked at Xiaotong secretly, Xiaotong did not respond to him, but told everyone that we had met a mountain spirit on the mountain.

Xiaotong's mother listened to it and said that the anchovy must be the stuff of the mountain spirit, we can't offend the mountain spirit, this fish, we must not eat it.

Xiaotong's mother usually does things very neatly, Xiaotong's family listened to Xiaotong's mother, and they also felt that this fish came strangely, and they couldn't eat anything, so they all went home soon.

In the end, Xu Da was stunned and the people in his own family also dispersed, leaving Xu Da stunned and me.

Xu Da was stunned as a chef, rarely encountered delicious dishes, this time he was determined to eat anchovies, so he took advantage of his grandfather's absence to take the ice cubes to his grandfather's house to melt them, and the fish was still alive.

The last anchovy was cooked by Xu Da, and the fragrance spread throughout the village.

Xu Da's daughter-in-law smelled the fragrance and came over, pinched Xu Da's stunned and Datou's ears, and said that you two died in order to eat, so they were both taken away.

I'm so happy, what should be mine, in the end, I still enjoy it alone.

I know in my heart that this fish is not a mountain spirit, and I can't offend the mountain spirit if I eat it.

I just had a cold steamed bun and ate a fish, which is worthy of being an offering, it is really delicious, the only drawback is that there are a little too many spines.

As soon as I wiped my mouth after eating, the big head knocked on the door quietly, it turned out that he was thinking about eating fish, and came over while his mother was asleep, but he was late, so he could only drink some fish soup.

I said you're not afraid of the mountain spirits looking for trouble.

The big head said that others are afraid, I am not afraid, before I was on the mountain, I was afraid after thinking a little too much, now I think about it, isn't the mountain spirit just a little bit, I can step on it to death by raising my feet.

The big head drank all the fish soup, licked the soup pot clean, and then went back to sleep.

I rummaged through the cabinets at home, and finally pulled out a gold and jade ring from a large box, quietly restored the box to its original state, and hid the ring under my pillow.

The iceberg beauty gave me a gift, as the so-called "come and go", of course I want to return the gift.

I can't take ordinary things, so I can only give this ring to her, anyway, grandpa's things are mine, I think even if grandpa comes home and knows, he won't be angry.

I lay down for a while and fell asleep, holding the iceberg beauty in my dream, all kinds of lingering.

The night was spent in a sweet dream, I tore the quilt and bit the pillow in a different way, and I was dumbfounded when I woke up.

I felt empty in my mouth, and a mouth was still breathing, I looked in the mirror and found that I had no teeth left in my mouth, and when I looked back, the floor at the head of the bed was full of teeth.

It's over, I'm in someone else's way!

What Ming Dynasty princess and what royal blood, it's all my wishful thinking.

The iceberg gave me the anchovy just so that I could eat it, I don't know what spell she used on the anchovy, and after eating the anchovy, it made my teeth fall out.

In any case, I believe that my own teeth do have supernatural powers that I don't know about.

Maybe the iceberg beauty just wanted to kill me, but she was afraid of the teeth in my mouth, so she thought of a way to remove my full mouth of teeth, so that she could do whatever she wanted to me later.

When I thought about it, I felt a deep sense of fear, and my back was sweaty.

I'm so old, I look like a monster with no teeth in my mouth, I didn't dare to go out for a day, locked myself in the house, slammed the door and told me to go out to play, and I didn't say a word.

In fact, there is a knot in my heart.

I just felt that the iceberg beauty was calculating me, but I fell for her, and I had a stupid dream all night, which is simply a kind of frustration of being tricked and counting money for others.

Because of this, I haven't eaten for a day, and of course, my teeth are gone, and I can't eat if I want to.

After dark, I was afraid that the iceberg beauty would come to find trouble, so I drilled all the holes of my lost teeth, threaded them together with strong silk threads, and made a bracelet to put on my wrist.

I have experienced a lot of twists and turns since I was a child, and I have been doted on by my parents, and I am much more tenacious than those pampered peers, and soon I have no fear, and I sit at the door of the hall, waiting for the iceberg beauty to come to the door.

I said in my heart that as long as you dare to come, the master will fight with you at least and end up together.

Until midnight, the iceberg beauty did not come, and I stayed up until the second half of the night, I couldn't open my eyes, and finally sat on the chair and fell asleep.

When I fell asleep and woke up in the morning, I was shocked that two rows of white teeth had grown out of my empty mouth at night, and I felt like I was dreaming when I looked in the mirror.

This time, I felt that it was necessary to go to the mountain again and meet the iceberg beauty.
