Chapter 51: Roast Rabbit
Xie Ranran looked at her slightly red face, but when she thought of Chen Zhiyi's face-saving nature, she didn't plan to continue to tease her, "If you don't like it, you don't have to do this in the future, I hurt myself, I feel distressed." ”
Chen Zhiyi hung his head and was silent.
Xie Eran said that he felt sorry for her?
A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Zhiyi's mouth.
Looking around, the capital is very lively now, every household is lit with candles, and there are many people selling moon cakes and sachets on the street, Xie Lenran looked at these and said: "Today's banquet didn't have a good time, let's go to other places for a walk." ”
Chen Zhiyi snorted, lowered his head and pulled his clothes, and said, "Go change your clothes first." ”
Xie Enran smiled and took her to a clothing store, Chen Zhiyan likes simplicity, Xie Enran picked out a two-layer orange and yellow skirt for her, but the butterflies on the sleeves are vividly embroidered.
"It's much cooler." The clothes just fit well, and Chen Zhiyi likes it.
"Do you eat mooncakes?" Out of the shop, Xie Ran asked her.
"Good! I want fruit filling. ”
Xie Enran bought a bag of mooncakes with fruit filling, Chen Zhiyi ate one, the first bite didn't taste good, and the second bite knew that it was apple filling, the apple was cut very thin and small, and it was wrapped in the freshly made mooncake, which was hot.
The moon cake is not very big, Chen Zhiyi ate it at once, there was some oil on her mouth, she didn't have a handkerchief, she simply wiped it with her sleeve, this scene was seen by Xie Eran, and it was a burst of ridicule.
"Let's go, take you to eat roast rabbit!" Xie Eran said.
Chen Zhiyan originally stretched out his hand and wanted to grab a moon cake, but when he heard Xie Erran talk about roasting rabbits, his eyes lit up suddenly, "Okay, good!" ”
They went to the back mountain that they loved to go to when they were young, and there was a lot of game on the mountain, especially hares.
It was too dark on the mountain, so Xie Ene Ran bought a lantern to hang on the tree, and after making a fire with flint, the place suddenly lit up, Xie Ene Ran asked Chen Zhiyan to stay here, and he carried the lantern to find the rabbit.
Don't look at Xie Eran, who doesn't know martial arts, but compared to catching rabbits, Murong Jin is not as good as him.
Chen Zhiyi sat in front of the fire, adding some firewood to it from time to time, the fire was high, her face was hot, and she sat farther away. Not long after, Xie Lenran came back with a rabbit, the rabbit's ears were carried by him, and his front paws were on his chest and he didn't move.
Xie Eran scraped the hare with a sharpened wooden stick, and the hare felt pain and began to bark.
Chen Zhiyi leaned under the tree, supported his chin with his hand, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said, "Xie Enran, do you think Chang'e in the sky will be particularly lonely?" ”
"How so?" Xie Enran skillfully manipulated the rabbit, and the speed was also very fast, "Chang'e is accompanied by Yutu and Wu Gang, maybe Zhu Bajie also went to play with her, how could she be lonely?" ”
"That's right," Chen Zhiyan retracted his gaze and looked at Xie Lenran, "Without lotus leaves, how are you going to wrap this rabbit?" ”
Xie Enran roasted rabbit is to wrap the rabbit with lotus leaves, bury it in the soil, regenerate fire on it, and slowly roast the rabbit at the temperature of the fire. Now there are no lotus leaves, it is indeed not easy to pack, but Xie Eran has his own way.
This time, he did not directly tear the skin of the hare, but directly dug a pit and buried the whole rabbit in it, and threw some osmanthus near the rabbit, and finally rekindled a fire on it.
"If there is less fragrance of lotus leaves and more fragrance of osmanthus flowers, I don't know what the taste will be." After Xie Eran got it done, he patted the dust off his hands.
Chen Zhiyi became interested, moved his body to that side, and looked at it with blank eyes, waiting for his roast rabbit.
"Chang'e is holding the jade rabbit, and after a while, you will nibble on the roast rabbit." Xie Eran walked over and sat beside her.
Chen Zhiyi nodded.
After chatting for a while, Chen Zhiyi suddenly smelled the fragrance. The fragrance came out of the soil, and there was a hint of osmanthus, but the smell of osmanthus was very light, and it would smell it, and it would not smell it after a while.
Chen Zhiyi's stomach screamed.
She was hungry for a long time, although she ate a lot of things in the morning, but she was like this for a long time, and although she stole some fruit at the banquet just now, she couldn't eat enough at all. Not to mention that such an unpleasant thing happened later, after tossing for so long, the stomach is only screaming now, which is already very face-saving for Chen Zhiyi.
Chen Zhiyan grabbed his head and glanced at Xie Lenran, "I'm hungry......"
Xie Eran laughed, and seeing that the fire was about to be extinguished, he took a piece of firewood and waved it away, and then went to dig out the soil, and after opening the thin layer of soil on it, he found that the rabbit's skin was already scorched, "It's almost." ”
He found another piece of firewood to use as chopsticks, and with both hands he picked up the roast rabbit in the soil.
"It smells so good." Chen Zhiyi wiped his mouth and was ready to eat. The soil was turned over, and the fragrance of osmanthus became stronger.
Xie Eran held the rabbit in his pocket, while the clothes were dried for a while, and then put the rabbit in front of Chen Zhiyi, "You can eat it, eat the inside, be careful of scalding." ”
Chen Zhiyi broke the rabbit's legs, peeled the skin, and gnawed on it.
"Delicious, extra tender." Chen Zhiyi ate faster, and after a while, only a skin remained in his leg. This rabbit has a faint smell of osmanthus, but Chen Zhiyi prefers the fresh feeling of lotus leaves.
Seeing that she was happy to eat, Xie Eran ripped off her other leg and handed it to Chen Zhiyi. Chen Zhiyu took it over, and he had already opened his mouth to bite, but he suddenly licked his mouth and gave the rabbit leg to Xie Enran, "One for each person." ”
"You eat."
Chen Zhiyan didn't care about him, directly snatched the rabbit body in Xie Enran's hand, and then handed him the rabbit leg, "You eat." After Xie Eran took it and ate it, Chen Zhiyan nodded with satisfaction, and then forcibly broke the rabbit body into two parts. The two portions were not evenly divided, and the big half originally wanted to keep it for himself, but after thinking about it, he still ate the smaller half.
Xie Erran had roasted the rabbit for so long, she was not too embarrassed to eat the half-size.
After the rabbit finished eating, Chen Zhiyi was full, and the oil on her mouth was unconsciously wiped with her hands. In fact, she hasn't eaten enough, but she doesn't know why she hiccups, Chen Zhiyi thought, find something to eat when she goes back, otherwise she won't be able to sleep tonight.
"I suddenly remembered something," Chen Zhiyi lay under the tree, holding his head in his hands, "Last time at the inn in Mocheng, my sister promised me that you and Brother Jin would get me grilled fish and roasted rabbit to eat, and now that the roast rabbit has been eaten, it is still short of Brother Jin's grilled fish!" ”
Xie Ran sat beside her, the rabbit in his hand hadn't finished eating, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but smile, "I didn't expect you to be so greedy!" ”
"Where is gluttony, when you are hungry, you want to eat anything, and when you are full, you don't want to eat anything."
"Haven't eaten yet? There are also mooncakes in the bag. ”
"Hmm." Chen Zhiyi felt a little sleepy, her eyelids were heavy, and she closed her eyes after a while.
I haven't heard Chen Zhiyi speak for a while, Xie Enran called her a few times but didn't respond, and after a closer look, she actually fell asleep. Chen Zhiyi licked his mouth, as if he was also eating roast rabbit in a dream.
Xie Lenran laughed lightly, got up to extinguish the fire, and bent down to hug Chen Zhiyi.
Chen Zhiyan is not heavy, Xie Enran is not small, and it is not very difficult to hold it. Xie Ranran glanced down at Chen Zhiyi in her arms, she slept soundly, and there was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth.
In fact, if you look at her closely, her eyelashes are quite long, like a small fan.
Xie Eran looked at her, stood for a while, and then walked away. Chen's mansion is not far from here, and it won't take long to arrive, and after he settled Chen Zhiyi, he took off her shoes and covered her with a quilt.
Now the weather is a little cold, Chen Zhiyi likes to kick the quilt again, Xie Enran is quite worried about her cold.
Although Chen Zhiyi's physique is not bad, she is really going to catch a cold, and she will not get better in a month or two. For example, last spring, she kicked the quilt and slept all night, and the maids didn't pay attention, and then woke up the next day and the whole person was groggy, and then it was serious, and the whole person was so hot that she could use that temperature to fry eggs.
This disease is a spring.
When thinking about these things, Chen Zhiyan's hand was already restless and lifted the quilt, Xie Enran stepped forward and covered her again.
"It's not reassuring to sleep......" Xie Eran smiled lightly.
When he went out, he instructed several maids to go to see Chen Zhiyi after a while, and not to tell her to kick the quilt and sleep overnight. The maids remembered the incident when Chen Zhiyi caught a cold last spring, and they were a little afraid, so they nodded busily.
Xie Enran was still a little worried, but remembered that Xie Fanghua had also explained the matter, so he could only leave.
After going back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I heard the old housekeeper say that the old Prime Minister Xie hadn't slept yet, Xie Enran thought about it and went to find him. Old Prime Minister Xie was sitting in the courtyard in a daze, and after Xie Ran approached and sat down, he reacted, "Ene Ran? Coming back? ”
Xie Eran nodded, "I'm back." ”
Prime Minister Xie was a little tired, but he couldn't sleep when he was lying on the bed, so he put on a coat and ran to the yard to sit.
The autumn breeze was a little cool, and Prime Minister Xie sobered up.
"Grandpa, are you still thinking about that?" In fact, not only Prime Minister Xie was thinking, but Xie Enran was also thinking.
Prime Minister Xie sighed, "How could you not want to?" ”
Xie Ran glanced up at the moon, the moon was basically round, but when he looked closely, he always felt that there was a gap, "Grandpa, rest early." This is over. I don't think my father and mother will blame you. ”
Prime Minister Xie nodded, "Hmm." ”
Xie Ran left the courtyard, and Prime Minister Xie looked at his back and lost his mind.
Xie Ran went back to his room, changed into a white dress, and when he opened the cabinet, he looked at a silver mask lying quietly inside, and was stunned.
He stretched out his hand, paused before picking up the mask and putting it on.
Feng Fei went to find Fu Xuelu.
Fu Xuelu's Fu Mansion has been sealed, and now he is placed in a small three-entry courtyard, his house is not lit, it is extremely dark, and when Feng Fei enters, he is in a daze.
"Fu Xuelu ......"
