Chapter 290: Spicy Snail Lion
"Since the distinguished guests from afar have made requests, we as hosts naturally have to meet them! Small stones, called Shang Ping, take the bucket, let's touch the snail lion! Yu Xiaocao naturally attaches more importance to this beautiful guest, who is not as beautiful as words, and reveals the king's style in his gestures.
Who knows what kind of temper this prince of Jing is! Don't look at him always smiling, but it makes her feel stunned from the bottom of her heart. There is a kind of person called the smiling tiger, who can cut off people's heads with a smile. This kind of person is much more terrifying than the little county king with a dark face all day long. Although the little county king has a little temper and a bad mouth, he has never really been angry in front of her. Even if she was so angry that she blew her beard and glared at her, she never cured her sin. The little king should belong to the type of knife-mouthed tofu heart, right?
If she had seen the moment when King Yangjun killed people without blinking an eye before, she wouldn't think so! The title of "Cold-faced Hades" did not come out of thin air. Zhu Junyang will be able to allow her, a little girl, to be powerful on her head!
Zhu Junyang saw that Yu Xiaocao looked like a dog to the emperor, he held his breath in his heart, and said angrily: "Why did he say that he wanted to eat, so you just got it for him, but he took the master's words as a fart?!" β
Yu Xiaocao looked like a neat person: "King Jing's son is a guest, so he naturally has to treat him politely." β
"Am I not a guest?" Zhu Junyang pointed to the tip of his nose and asked angrily.
Yu Xiaocao pouted and said, "What kind of guest are you?" I came to eat and drink for three days, and if I really treated you as a guest, I wouldn't be tired to death! Okay, take you to touch the snail lion, experience the joy of labor, do you want to go? β
"Don't go!" Zhu Junyang turned his head arrogantly, snorted coldly with his nose to the sky, "I don't order food, and I ask my master to do work for you." There are no doors!! β
It has become a habit for two guys to quarrel, and the Yu family has long been numb, what should they do. Zhu Junfan looked at these two people with interest. This little cousin is usually absolutely cold, and his words are like gold, even if he has a cold face towards him, the emperor. I didn't expect the cold-faced Hades to have such a naΓ―ve and innocent side, and he fought with others for a plate of fried snail lions. Tut-tut! What an eye-opener!!
"Second sister, little county king, don't you want to touch the snail lion!" Xiao Shi watched speechlessly at the two guys childishly arguing back and forth, looking at the sky, if he didn't stop it, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to eat fried snails at noon.
Yu Xiaocao agreed and gave Zhu Junyang a back of the head: "Love is not going!" Just stay in this courtyard! My lord, are you interested in watching us touch the snail lion? β
Zhu Junfan has never experienced the fun of farming in his two lives, and it is difficult to get out of the palace once, so he naturally refuses to let go of this rare opportunity.
Yu Xiaocao took his two younger brothers, holding a small bucket, and beckoned "King Jing" to the backyard. The backyard is also full of vegetables, and there is a gravel path between the vegetable patches that leads to the back door. After opening the back door and walking two steps, I came to a lake.
The lake is huge, and the water is as turquoise as emerald. In the distance, a flock of ducks swim happily in the water, making "quack" calls from time to time. Qian Wu, who was putting ducks by the lake, saw Xiaoshi and Liu Fangping, and ran over.
Seeing the two little guys carrying buckets in their hands, Qian Wu was even happier and shouted, "Little stone, are you trying to catch small fish?" I'm here to help, too! β
Xiao Shi shook the bucket in his hand and said with a smile: "No! The second sister took us to touch the snail lion, and at noon our family fried the snail lion to eat! β
Qian Wu pouted and said, "The grass is fried so spicy that the snail lion is delicious!" I'm good at touching the snail lion, I'll help you! β
The three little guys hit it off, ran to the lake hand in hand, and pouted their butts and touched the snail lion. Perhaps because of the drought, the water level of the lake was very low, and a few children rolled up their trousers and stepped into the mud by the lake, their little hands carefully groping around the lake.
"I touched a big one!" The sound of surprise sounded from the small stone, and in the little hand raised, it was a snail lion the size of a pigeon's egg.
"I touched it too!!" Liu Fangping was not to be outdone, and brought the snail lion he touched to the small stone in front of him, comparing who was bigger with him. No matter who is big or small, they will not be unhappy, and laughter will cast a ripple on the surface of the lake.
Yu Xiaocao found a relatively gentle slope by the lake, spread a layer of hay on it, and said to the "Prince of Jing": "Lord Shizi, you sit here and rest for a while." There are a lot of snail lions in the lake, there are many of us, and we can touch enough to eat at noon in a while! β
She rolled up her sleeves and walked to the lake, carefully searching the water for the shadow of the snail lion. After the death of her parents in her previous life, in order to let her younger siblings eat something to change the taste, she went to the nearby subsidence area to touch the snail lion, and she had experience!
Looking at the faint shadow in the water, she was extremely accurate and never went empty. The bucket in her hand was quickly covered with a layer of snails of different sizes.
Zhu Junyang, who followed silently behind them, was also attracted by the cheers of several children from time to time, and his heart was itchy, so he followed the example of the children, took off his shoes and touched the snail lion.
Yu Xiaocao couldn't help but scold him: "Aren't you unwilling to touch the snail lion?" Why did you come quietly? β
"Ye is happy, Ye is happy! Can you handle it? Zhu Junyang's arrogant appearance is the same as Yu Xiaocao's golden kitten. Yu Xiaocao pursed her lips and snickered.
Touching the snail lion is not a technical job, Zhu Junyang quickly got started, and when he touched the bigger snail lion, he would show off in front of Yu Xiaocao. Yu Xiaocao took out a bigger one than him from his bucket and grinned triumphantly.
Looking at the happy appearance of several children, Zhu Junfan's heart was itching, he took off his shoes and was about to enter the water, but was stopped by his personal guards: "Your Majesty, please think twice!" β
"Think twice! I'm still thinking about it! The water is so shallow, what can happen? Whoever wants to stop me, I throw him in the lake to feed the ducks!! Zhu Junfan threw the folding fan in his hand into the hands of the personal guard. Seeing that he caught his love fan, he went into the water barefoot.
In summer, the lake is warm, and there is no ice under your feet. Zhu Junfan followed the example of a few children, touching his hands in the water! Hey, touch one! He didn't want to be happy, but when he took out his hand to the water, he saw that it was a small rock. The smile cooled on his face, and Zhu Junfan touched his head again.
Several of his personal guards stooped down to protect him tremblingly, lest he slip and fall into the lake......
I was worried, only to hear a "poof", and the water splashed. The children burst into laughter. Zhu Junfan looked up and couldn't help laughing. It turned out that his sullen little cousin was sitting in the water with his butt in the water, looking stupid, which was quite funny!
Perhaps because he was laughing too hard, Zhu Junfan suddenly felt his body shake, pulling his two hands back, still unable to maintain his balance, and was about to fall towards the lake. The guards on his right and left grabbed him by the arm and dragged him ashore.
Zhu Junfan, who had a false alarm, when he was about to go into the water to touch the snail lion again, several of his personal guards said that they would not do anything. After saying anything, I finally persuaded the emperor. The guards also sweated, if the emperor really fell into the water just now, they would definitely be punished when they went back. Alas! The work of protecting the emperor is really not done by people!
In less than half an hour, the buckets in the hands of the three Xiaocao sisters and brothers were full. Xiaocao also took advantage of people's inattention, caught a lot of small fish, and prepared to wrap them in batter and fry them. It's crispy, crispy, and delicious!
Back in the courtyard, Yu Xiaocao poured the snail lion into a large wooden basin, filled the basin with clean water, sprinkled some salt into it, and secretly dripped some diluted spirit stone water. Doing so will speed up the speed at which the snail can spit out sediment.
Yu Xiaocao picked every vegetable from a few rows of vegetable fields that were not sprayed in the morning. After thinking about it, he also took some frozen locusts from the cellar, and decided to prepare some food for the "Prince of Jingwang" that he had never seen before, let alone eaten.
At noon, a large pot of red fried snails was served. Because all the snails touched by Qian Wu were given to small stones, Yu Xiaocao asked his younger brother to send a small pot to the Qian family. Since it was sent to the Qian family, the Zhou Coral family, who had a better relationship, could not be left behind, and also sent a pot. The east sends it to the west family, and in the end there is only such a pot left!
Zhu Junfan tasted one and immediately found the feeling of eating a snail and drinking beer in his previous life. The spicy and spicy snail lion, paired with a bunch of cold beer, the taste is not to mention how refreshing. Unfortunately, he was a student of boat making and didn't know how to brew beer. If you want to drink beer, you can only dream about it!
The lunch meal was quite generous. There is Zhu Junyang's "pork stewed vermicelli", the pork is fat but not greasy, and the vermicelli flashes with a crystal luster, which makes people very appetizing at a glance.
There is also a plate of fried small fish. Yu Xiaocao specially picked up small fish with a long index finger, packed them up, wrapped them in a thin layer of seasoned flour, and fried them in oil until golden brown. The bones in the small fish are fried, and they are crispy and crispy in the mouth, which is particularly delicious.
I also cut a plate of red oil ear shreds and a plate of pig's head meat. These are the guests of Liu's opinion, and there are no good dishes prepared at home, so they specially took the pig's head out of the ice cellar and cleaned it up, and marinated it in the gap between the children touching the snail lion. Now, Liu's craftsmanship of marinating pig's head meat has the potential of being better than blue, and the taste is no worse than that made by Yu Xiaocao.
In addition, there are several plates of green oyster sauce greens, oyster sauce lettuce, garlic oil and wheat vegetables, which are full of color, flavor and flavor, and several guards can't help but glance at the dishes.
The most special thing was a plate of burnt locusts. It looks terrible, but it actually tastes more fragrant than fried small fish, and it has the feeling of fried crispy shrimp. At the beginning, Zhu Junfan didn't dare to eat it, but just watched the children of the Yu family stuff them into their mouths one by one, chewing them rattling. Even his cousin Zhu Junyang ate several in succession.
Yu Xiaocao saw that "King Jing" wanted to try it again, but he refused to put down the tangled expression of chopsticks, so he hurriedly selected a locust with seeds, sandwiched it into Zhu Junfan's bowl, and said with a smile: "Lord Shizi, the seeds in this locust are more fragrant than crab roe, you can try to taste it, and if you don't have an appetite, just spit it out!" β
