Chapter VI
It was July, and the forest was rich in products, and the two pheasants were plump, and there was a lot of chicken fat in their stomachs. Ye Zhiqing first took wild ginger slices and pheasant fat and fried them on the red-hot stone slab to make fat, and then put the fish on the stone slab to roast before making bamboo leaf tea for them. She was busy for a long time, and she didn't drink a sip of tea, so she hurriedly ran to the stone stove, carefully turned the fish over with a simple bamboo shovel, and saw that the golden butter was shiny on one side, and the fragrance of the fish had come out, and she was immediately relieved: "It's okay, it's okay!" No burns! ”
In addition to Zhou Hong, who has the style of a general, he is not moving like a mountain, only taking a shallow sip of bamboo leaf tea, feeling the fragrance soaked in his heart and spleen. But the other four guards were already a little restless. Everyone has worked hard all the way, and now they smell the smell of fish, and their stomachs are like drums, and they are hungry. Calmer ones like Zhou Hao and Wang Hongyang can still sit still. The younger Wei Yang and Liang Jin had already rubbed next to the stone stove, swallowing saliva and asking her, "Miss Ye, are you almost well?" ”
Ye Zhiqing comforted them: "It's almost there!" Do you still have dry food to nibble on at noon? Take it and grill it just right with the fish. ”
Wei Yang ran to get the dry food as soon as he slipped away, and according to Ye Zhiqing's instructions, he broke the dry food into pieces and spread it along the edge of the fish body on the slate with a loud sound, and soon the roasted oil was bright and golden, sprinkled with the seasoning they brought with them, it smelled fragrant, and Liang Jin stuffed a piece into his mouth: "I'll taste it for the young general!" I gasped hot, but I couldn't stop it, and my eyes were about to light up into two lights: "It's delicious!" Major General Come on! It's so delicious! "I never thought dry food could be so delicious!
The bamboo knot is split into two, it is a strangely shaped long bowl, the bamboo branch is folded to the right length, it is a pair of bamboo chopsticks, which contains a roasted golden and fragrant fish, and then covered with roasted soft and fragrant dry food, which was served to Zhou Hong.
His gaze shifted from the food to the pair of thin white hands holding the bamboo bowl, and there were a few small wounds on the delicate bamboo shoot-like fingers, as if the fine jade had been maliciously destroyed, which made people have a ridiculous thought in their hearts, how good it would be if there was the nectar of the poplar branches in the Guanyin bottle, and it would be great to eliminate these flaws in an instant when sprinkled on it.
"Major General taste!"
The little girl didn't notice what Zhou Hong was looking at, and when he disliked the simplicity of the eating utensils, he actually offered a foolish Dafa: "The young general doesn't know that the picnic is to take materials according to local conditions, and if you really want to eat grilled fish with a sweet white porcelain plate, you will lose this wild interest." ”
Zhou Hongdu was about to be fooled by her, slowly took the grilled fish in the bamboo, and said in his heart: Her words were a little elegant, but they were very different from the deliberately taught elegance in the pink array.
Ye Zhiqing stood in front of Zhou Hong with green eyes, waited until he took a piece of dry food and chewed a few bites and swallowed it, and tasted the delicious fish meat on the belly of the fish, and slowly showed a little smile on his face, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, he looked like a child who offered treasures, and finally smiled with relief when he saw that his treasures were appreciated.
Zhou Hong's heart is even more complicated.
He couldn't even figure out now whether the innocent smile of the little girl in front of him was revealed after the bustard's mother's training, or if her nature was so simple?
Ye Zhiqing didn't know what Zhou Hong was thinking, she finished delivering the grilled fish to Zhou Hong, and then returned to the stone stove, the four guards had already gone crazy, except for the smallest fish left for her, there was not even fish and dry food left on the slate, all of them were snatched into their respective bamboo joints, and they were eating hard.
About food is a bridge between people to get closer, Liang Jin chewed on the soft and fragrant dry food, and did not forget to curry favor with Ye Zhiqing: "Miss Ye, I still left this fish for you desperately, otherwise they will snatch it away!" ”
Wei Yang was shocked by his undisguised shamelessness in front of the food, and when he wanted to open his mouth to refute, he accidentally choked on the food and choked on the trachea, and suddenly coughed earth-shatteringly. Zhou Hao is steady, and he can still spare a hand to pat him on the back in his busy schedule: "This kid, you don't have to be in such a hurry to eat, right?" ”
So he coughed even harder.
Until a cup of bamboo leaf tea was handed over in front of him, he took two sips, and finally suppressed the cough, still in disbelief: "You...... You ......" It was obviously him who reminded him to leave a fish for Miss Ye, but at that time, Liang Jin was still squeezing his eyebrows at Wang Hongyang: "I really can't see that this kid still has so many eyes...... "How can it be his credit to turn his head?!"
Wei Yang is an honest child, and he really doesn't understand how Paoze, who never takes the lead of his brother even on the battlefield, has no discipline when facing food?
The grilled fish and dry food were swept away, and a few people were still unsatisfied, Liang Jin cheekily followed Ye Zhiqing's side: "Miss Ye, the pheasant is almost ready, right?" ”
The food Ye Zhiqing made was very popular, and she had been a little apprehensive and her mood improved, and she smiled brightly: "You have to wait a little longer, if you are still hungry, why don't you bake some dry food?" ”
They are all young and strong children, although they have already eaten grilled fish and dry food, and they have reserved the belly of the pheasant, but they are still not satisfied, and it is easy to add some dry food. Several people immediately rushed up, enthusiastically stood next to the stone stove and started the great business of breaking dry food, and asked Ye Zhiqing while breaking: "Miss Ye, do you think this size is appropriate?" ”
Ye Zhiqing put the last piece of chicken fat on the slate to fry a layer of grease, and stir-fried the dry food on the slate to ensure that each piece of dry food was evenly coated with fat. When the golden butter of the fried dry food is bright, it is sprinkled with seasonings and wild green onions, and the fragrance is immediately fragrant and appetizing.
Wei Yang first served Zhou Hongsheng a copy, and the rest was coaxed by everyone to be empty. This time, Ye Zhiqing was not polite, and grabbed a bamboo for herself.
Several people treated her as a tender little girl, but they didn't expect her to grab food without the shyness of a girl. Everyone has been in the army for a long time, although they feel that women are shy and easy to be pitied by men, but they feel that her cheerful personality is easier to get along with, and they were sold by her meal unconsciously, and they no longer mind her origin, and urged her to open the bamboo tube chicken quickly.
After a while, Ye Zhiqing estimated that the time was almost up, so she asked a few people to take the bamboo tube that was turned and roasted from time to time from the fire, carefully scrape the mud of the original bamboo tube wound batter, and remove the bamboo slices, a sultry fragrance suddenly gushed out, with the fragrance of bamboo, the strong fragrance of pheasants and mushrooms, Liang Jin was about to suck his saliva, and he couldn't wait to stuff his head into the bamboo, and was stopped by Wei Yang and didn't let go, and finally didn't make a more embarrassing move.
Lifting the layer of bamboo leaves covering it, the fragrance of the kind of hooked stomach worms that are about to crawl out of the throat is even more obvious. Obviously, you have already had a full meal, and the taste of grilled fish and slate fried dry food is already amazing, but the fragrance of bamboo chicken is obviously superior, and the moisturizing and silent fragrance will not make you feel eager to linger with it and start a feast of food.
Without Ye Zhiqing's instructions, several people immediately each hugged a bamboo tube and opened it carefully. There is no dignity in front of the food, when the grilled fish is eaten, several guards can still think about Zhou Hong, but they can't care about Zhou Hong at the moment, they first buried their heads and picked up a piece of food in a bamboo tube and fed it to their mouths, regardless of whether it was a pheasant or a fungus, and sighed in unison after eating: It's really fragrant that the tongue is going to melt away!
Zhou Hong was attracted by this seductive fragrance, and couldn't sit still anymore, so he simply walked over by himself, opened a bamboo tube like a bubble, smelled a richer aroma than sitting in the distance, even he couldn't help it, opened the bamboo leaf and tasted it, although he ate the fungus, but it was amazing to eat in the mouth, there was both the unbeatable fragrance of bamboo, and the aroma of pheasant meat, the mountain mushroom in the entrance was very chewy, and the special fragrance of wild mountain mushroom, the three wonderful flavors blended with each other and vaguely revealed the original style, Creates a special scent that has never been tried before. But he was sure that he hadn't tasted it in all the cuisines he'd tasted in the past.
None of them had time to speak, they were busy eating hard, and from time to time someone made a vague "good fragrance...... Incense is dead ......" and other sounds. Ye Zhiqing quietly lowered her head, the smile on the corner of her lips became bigger and bigger, and she felt that she could finally sleep peacefully tonight.
After eating her bamboo chicken and grilled fish, and drinking hot bamboo leaf tea, Ye Zhiqing mentioned again that "can you wait until you get to a more prosperous town and then leave her behind", and the four guards turned their heads to look at Zhou Hong with a strong request in their eyes: Major General, do you really want to leave Miss Ye behind?
- For everyone's pleasure on the trip, you don't think about it anymore?
There was no need for Ye Zhiqing to beg Zhou Hong again, he slowly groped for the bamboo cup, and dropped a sentence unhurriedly: "If General Ben remembers correctly, you seem to be my person?" ”
"Poof!" Ye Zhiqing squirted out a mouthful of bamboo leaf tea, and looked at Zhou Hong with a shocked face...... She, she, she heard me right, right?
Zhou Hong, who was holding her by the collar and throwing her out of the door last night, actually said such terrible words. Out of a modern person's yearning for freedom, she weakly argued: "I ...... I'm not a major general's man! ”
Zhou Hong's sharp gaze swept over, staring at Ye Zhiqing with great shocking power, and said word by word: "You...... If it's not General Ben's people, then whose people are they? ”
Ye Zhiqing really wanted to reply, she is not anyone's person, she is herself! Doesn't belong to anyone!
However, in Zhou Hong's sharp gaze, he was inexplicably cowardly, and he stumbled when he spoke: "I...... I'm not anyone's ......"
In Zhou Hong's concept, the people around him include guards, maids, servants, cooks, horses, and housekeepers...... all sorts of servants for him, these are collectively called "his people"; But with Ye Zhiqing's understanding, his people ...... There is only one option, "his woman".
The brain circuits of the two are very different, one is satisfied with eating, and feels that there is a good cooking girl around him, and he doesn't have to be aggrieved to eat dry food when he goes out in the future; the other is uneasy, suspecting that the other party is going to bully others, and is ready to have unspoken rules against her; Neither of the eyes of the other is quite right.
On this day, when she got into the carriage, Ye Zhiqing found that the household registration documents in her small baggage were missing.
