As the world passed, the old man sat motionless by the pool, and Mu Qingwan and the two maids sat and waited honestly.

Mu Qingwan slowly felt that something was wrong, could this old man not know how to fish?

"Senior, do you often come fishing?"

After thinking about it, Mu Qingwan asked tactfully.

"Yes, girl, how do you know? I'm afraid I won't be able to catch a fish again this time, hey, this fish is too fine to always be caught. Forget it, it's a pity that you don't have a mouth. ”

“……”

Mu Qingwan raised her forehead, so if she could catch a fish, she would really be a master.

"Seniors, do you want to let juniors try it?"

"Oh, come on, then. It didn't work, I've tried it many times. ”

Mu Qingwan shook her head helplessly, went to the bamboo forest to find a bamboo of moderate thickness, pulled out the dagger hanging from her waist, and sharpened one end of the bamboo.

Then he untied the purse around his waist, which contained the snacks that Ruyi had prepared for him. I crushed the dim sum and sprinkled it into the pond, and I saw that the fish in the pond were swarming into the dim sum crumbs.

said that it was too late, it was fast, Mu Qingwan simply and neatly inserted the bamboo pole into a big fish, and hit it with one blow. Mu Qingwan's movements were very fast, and in the blink of an eye, there were already two big fish weighing three or four catties on the ground.

There are too many fish to eat, and two should be about the same.

"Okay, senior, is this enough?"

Retracting the bamboo pole, Mu Qingwan turned around and asked the old man.

"Enough, enough."

The old man was already stunned, he was really stupid, why didn't he think of it.

"So, what are we going to do now?"

"Of course it's grilled fish, girl, you're blessed, haha."

Mu Qingwan no longer had hope for the old man's words, the fish had never been caught, grilled fish?

"Then may I ask the seniors, what was the baking method before?"

Mu Qingwan asked tentatively.

"Huh? It's good if you girl has something to say, old man, I'm wide-hearted and fat, and I'm very big. Before, hehe, didn't I catch a fish? But it shouldn't be difficult to grill fish. ”

After speaking, the old man was eager to try, hugged a bunch of dead branches, threw them on the branches, and went to the bamboo basket to find a fire fold, looking at Mu Qingwan's eyelids.

"Seniors, otherwise, you should rest first, and the juniors will come."

"Hehe, you said it earlier."

“……”

Mu Qingwan shook her head helplessly, what a living treasure. However, this time, Mu Qingwan was also interested, and the bamboo forest picnic seemed to be good.

Mu Qingwan checked the old man's bamboo basket, there were really all kinds of things in it. I brought all kinds of spices, as well as knives, flints, fire folds, and copper kettles...... Just what to do with tea leaves and needlework? Mu Qingwan is full of black lines again.

"Jixiang, you go pick up some firewood."

"Ruyi is going to deal with the fish."

Mu Qingwan went to the bamboo forest alone and went around, cut a few bamboo tubes and a section of the master came back, and when she came back on the way, she also hit a pheasant, probably the location of the bamboo forest is indeed very biased, otherwise how could the water of Baiyun Mountain flow here, and it is not strange that there are pheasants.

Jixiang and Ruyi also followed Mu Qingwan from Pingcheng to Jiangnan, and they also learned a lot with the caravan along the way. When Mu Qingwan went back, the two of them had basically handled it properly, and the useful things in the bamboo basket were also picked out.

"Ruyi, there are mushrooms in the bamboo forest, I can't take them just now, you go pick a little and make a flower chicken."

I threw the pheasant to Ruyi.

The water in the pond is very clean, Mu Qingwan asked Jixiang to take a copper kettle to boil the water, and then dispose of the fish by himself.

Ruyi has cleaned up the fish scales and gills, and has also salted them. Mu Qingwan cut open the bamboo, and the two pieces of bamboo sandwiched the fish and roasted it on the fire, and the bamboo fragrance naturally penetrated into the fish, and the fish meat would not burn. When the water is almost gone, remove and brush with oil and continue to bake, and when it is seven or eight medium rare, remove and brush the oil again, this time sprinkle the chili powder and pepper, and bake again until the fish is cooked through.

During the whole process, the old man ran to the side of the fire with a small bamboo stool and honestly watched Mu Qingwan operate.

"Almost."

The old man swallowed.

The smell of the fish has overflowed, but it is not yet fully cooked.

"It's not cooked, and I'll have to wait a little longer."

Ji Xiang's hands are very skillful, and after a while, he made a small bamboo table out of bamboo, which was probably only as high as his knees, and he also tied a small bamboo stool for Mu Qingwan. Although it looks very simple, it is very good to do it with so much effort.

Ruyi brought a few mud-sealed bamboos over, and it was still steaming.

"What is this?"

The old man's eyes widened.

"Well, we'll find out later."

The grilled fish was also cooked, and Mu Qingwan put the fish on the bamboo table, two big fish. The bamboo slice is opened, and the fish fragrance is strong, and the only regret is that the old man did not bring onions, ginger and garlic, and the nearby bamboo forest was not found, so I am afraid that the fish will smell fishy.

"The fish is grilled, senior, you can taste it."

Mu Qingwan handed the old man a pair of chopsticks made of bamboo.

"Well, it's delicious, it's just delicious."

The old man couldn't wait to take a chopstick and taste it, and nodded his head again and again.

Mu Qingwan also tasted it, it was better than expected, the wild fish meat was delicious, full of elasticity, and there was no fishy smell, the bamboo fragrance and the fish fragrance were mixed together, and it was really delicious.

Jixiang and Ruyi were unwilling to eat at the same table as Mu Qingwan, and persuasion was useless, so they had to give up.

Several people had good combat effectiveness, and both fish were eaten cleanly.

"Girl, it's really good, but it's a pity that it's a little less, why don't you go catch another fish and come back?"

The old man was clearly unsatisfied.

"What are you anxious about, what else is there?"

Mu Qingwan gestured to Ruyi, and Ruyi took out the previous bamboo knots.

"What's, what is this?"

The mud seal of the bamboo joint mouth was knocked off, and a burst of fragrance came out.

Since being in charge of Mu Qingwan's food, clothing, housing and transportation, Ruyi has also put a lot of effort into cooking, and this skill is definitely not covered.

Cut the chicken into pieces, put it in bamboo with mushrooms and spices, seal it with mud, and then put it on the fire to roast it in the same way as called flower chicken. The improved one here is called a flower chicken, so even if there is no lotus leaf, it can be replaced by other methods.

The meat of the pheasant meat is firmer and more tender, and with the delicious mushrooms and fragrant bamboo, it is really delicious.

The tea leaves in the old man's bamboo basket are actually the best West Lake Longjing, but it is not suitable to drink tea after meals, so you can only use a copper kettle to boil water to drink.

Bamboo forests, pools of water and delicacies are indeed much more interesting than a boring banquet. One old and one young, they get along very happily.

"Haha, girl, it's really fulfilled the old man's wish, I just want to go to the mountains and fields to be a farmer."

"If the seniors really went to the countryside, I'm afraid they would be hungry in a few days. The rich have the suffering of the rich, and the poor have the suffering of the poor, and it is not easy for anyone in this world. ”

"Hehe, why are you like an adult, boring and boring."

The old man looked at Mu Qingwan seriously, thoughtfully, and then said with a laugh.

"Good luck, put out the fire, and pack up everything else."

After staying here for a long time, Mu Qingwan was afraid that Mrs. Mu would worry, so she planned to go back almost immediately.

"Senior, it's been a long time since I came out, and the junior is afraid that my mother will worry, so now I plan to go back, and I ask the senior to show the way for the junior."

"You girl is also destined for me, you helped the old man fulfill his wish, I'll give you something."
