Thinking so in his heart, Chu Liang took the plate directly, didn't bother to look at Liu's pale face, closed the door, made a clanging sound, and walked to the table with his head held high.
Pan'er saw the porcelain plate in Chu Liang's hand, with neat duck meat in it, and guessed that it was Liu's who sent the osmanthus duck over. The soreness of the body went to the ground, dipped the pig's sideburns brush in the tooth fixing cream, carefully brushed up, and then sat down on the round stool.
Liu is also a careful person, and also sent two pairs of chopsticks, a whole osmanthus duck was placed on the porcelain plate, the skin and flesh are very light in color, whitening with a faint pink halo, probably because the marinade in the boiling is added to the osmanthus, Pan'er sat on the round stool, and before the osmanthus duck was sent into the mouth, he smelled a rich fragrance of flowers.
Osmanthus is a variety with a strong aroma, fortunately, osmanthus duck because of the practice, does not make people feel tired, Pan'er picked up chopsticks, sandwiched a piece of duck meat into the mouth, the taste of the duck skin is elastic, there is no greasy feeling, the duck meat also infiltrates the aroma, not like the general duck after stewing like the meat firewood, eating into the mouth is a rare good taste.
Chu Liang sat next to him, looking at his little daughter-in-law with a smile, his expression was much gentler than before, and asked with a smile, "Is it delicious?" ”
Pan'er nodded, swallowed the food in her mouth, drank a sip of water to moisten her throat and said: "Liu's craftsmanship is really not bad, although this osmanthus duck is different from the one I ate before, but the taste is different, not bad at all, and the process of making this osmanthus duck is not too complicated, now is the season to eat duck, and it should be tonic in autumn, but you can get some to sell in Rong'anfang, maybe you can also make a fortune ......"
Probably because she was used to living a hard life in her previous life, Pan'er is now like getting into the eye of money, she is extremely greedy for money, and she is also grateful that Rong'an Fang is managed by Mrs. Zhao, and her monthly income is not small, otherwise she is afraid that she will have to spend more effort to make money.
However, the days of the waste village are very comfortable, whether it is in the Ningwang Mansion or the Dingbei Hou Mansion, although no one is in charge, but Pan'er just feels depressed and panicked, and now she has been in the Zhuangzi for a month, her whole person is a lot plump, and Chu Liang touched her body at night, moved her hands and feet, and said that she was well raised.
Thinking of this, Pan'er's face turned a little redder, and she glared at him secretly, and found that the man next to him didn't use chopsticks, and took a piece of duck meat to his mouth, and said, "General, try it, I have eaten all the provinces." ”
The dark eyes stared at the little daughter-in-law without blinking, Chu Liang opened his mouth, and after tasting the taste of osmanthus duck, his face couldn't help but show a little different color.
Pan'er has been hungry for several days, and the time for tossing last night is not counted, so she is naturally a little hungry, and she doesn't care about him after feeding Chu Liang, and eats quickly.
The amount of osmanthus duck was sufficient, Pan'er only ate less than a quarter, and her flat belly was slightly swollen, because the duck meat was delicious, and the rest was not wasted, and it went into Chu Liang's stomach.
Rou Bai's little hand pressed her lower abdomen, and Pan'er muttered: "I haven't eaten so full for a long time, I'll go around the Zhuangzi and run around with the wolf's teeth by the way......"
Originally, when Chu Liang raised the mastiff, he had to drive it out of the door every day and run for a few hours, but after staying in the abandoned village for such a long time, Chu Liang was not there before, no one was watching, and the wolf teeth also began to be lazy, and he went to the shack all day long, and the whole dog grew up.
Walking into the courtyard, Pan'er pushed open the door of the shack and found that the wolf's tooth was not in it at all.
Chu Liang followed behind her and said with a smile: "You feed the wolf's teeth with spiritual spring water every day, that thing is a rare and good thing, even if people drink it, they can't stand it, let alone mastiffs?" During the day, he didn't want to move, but he didn't want to miss your feeding, and at night when all the people were rested, he followed the wolf up the mountain and went crazy. ”
"I go up the back mountain every night, why are I still so fat?"
Chu Liang glanced at Pan'er and snorted, "How much food did you feed them, did you forget?" ”
Mastiffs and wild wolves can eat more than a dozen catties of meat every meal, before she came to abolish the village, Qian Pozi is only two meals a day, but after changing Pan'er, it has become three meals a day, mastiffs are also a number, how much to eat, when there is nothing to do, but also use stick bones to grind teeth, although there are no pigs in the village, but the meat bought back is very fresh, and they are naturally fat and strong.
The little couple walked out of the yard, just walked not far away when they heard a buzzing sound, since Lao Qi nailed a beehive on the edge of the wolfberry tree, there were a lot more bees nearby than before, turned their heads to look around, Pan'er did not find that there were tenants around, so he took out the white porcelain bottle filled with spiritual spring water from his arms, and poured it directly on the plain color of the wolfberry flower.
Although the land in Zhuangzi contains a faint aura, it is far less mellow than the spiritual spring water, and when Pan'er opened the porcelain bottle, those bees were like crazy, rushing directly to the wolfberry flowers watered with spiritual spring water, densely pasted.
Fortunately, Chu Liang's eyes were quick, and he hugged the soft waist of the little daughter-in-law and dragged the person back, so that Pan'er was not stung by a bee.
Pan'er's skin and flesh are very delicate, this bee is very poisonous, before Zhou Zhuangtou and Lao Qi went to poke the honeycomb, hid under the water and hid for half a day, and was stung by the bee full of head, these little things stopped, the two rough men were very thick-skinned, and the place where they were bitten was coated with Ge Zhichuan's ointment, and it took three days to stop the itching and swelling, if you change Pan'er, I'm afraid it will be even more unbearable.
snatched the white porcelain vase, stuffed the bottle tightly into his arms, Chu Liang stared at Pan'er with an unkind face, pinched the soft flesh on the woman's face with two fingers, and the painful little daughter-in-law's eyes were red, and she couldn't help complaining: "What are you doing?" Don't let go yet? “
"You don't know how to be careful, what if you get bitten?"
Pan'er snorted, didn't speak, looked back, and found that the bees in the whole beehive were still tightly circling the wolfberry tree, and she didn't mean to keep up at all, so she breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed her red and hot face with her little hand, and quickened her pace to move forward.
The land price in the suburbs of Beijing is not much cheaper than in the city, and the waste village is also spacious and tight, even if it is planted with Nanguo pear, rouge rice, wolfberry trees, etc., there are a lot of vacant land, including a piece connected to the back mountain, all of which are empty.
Squatting on the ground and pulling weeds, Chu Liang glanced down, saw the little daughter-in-law's brows tightly locked, and looked thoughtful, and couldn't help asking:
"What do you think?"
"I'm thinking about planting something on this land, but I don't want to grow any crops in autumn and winter, which is really a bit sad."
"I heard that a merchant sent a few carts to Beijing and it tasted good, so I asked Luan Ying to send it over and give you a taste at night."
The capital is worthy of being the capital of the Great Cause Dynasty, there are really a lot of new things, not just an orange, and even gave the strange name of 'ignorant fire', if the taste is really good, try to plant it in the waste village, although the climate in the suburbs of Beijing may not be suitable for fruit trees, but with the spring water, it should also be able to live.
I was about to go to the back mountain, close to the side of the mountain, I didn't know that the trees were lush and very tall, even the grass grew tall, and the dark green color was a little dark, Pan'er saw a shadow in front of her, and she screamed in fright, and her little face turned white in a flash.
The man's sword eyebrows were furrowed, and he grabbed the little daughter-in-law's wrist, his voice was low and hoarse, and he was still a little vigilant.
"What's wrong?"
Pan'er trembled, her lips trembled slightly, and she said, "Is there something in the grass?" ”
Following the woman's line of sight, Chu Liang stared at a piece of barren grass, there were only a dozen households in the abandoned village, and there was a back mountain, and it was normal for snakes, insects, rats and ants to be in the grass.
"Let's go back first." Chu Liang himself is not afraid of those things, but the little woman in front of him is a squeamish, and when she saw a mouse before, she was so frightened that she trembled, in case she saw some long insects or something like that, she must have been scared soft.
"Okay......" Pan'er replied tremblingly, watching the man squat. body, not polite, two arms tightly around Chu Liang's neck, lying on his back, by this person carried her out of the barren grassland, obviously when Fang just walked in, he didn't feel anything, but he saw something that shouldn't be seen.
Looking back at the previous place, the long worm that Pan'er expected did not appear, and the wriggling in the grass turned out to be a small thing with hair that had not yet grown, and the appearance on the body was light yellow, faintly brown, not much bigger than a domestic cat, standing in place motionless, a pair of swarthy eyes stared at Pan'er and Chu Liang, the black nose was probably a little itchy, and even sneezed.
Reaching out and poking the man's back, Pan'er asked, "What is this?" ”
Chu Liang turned his head, stared at the thing carefully, and said with some hesitation: "It can't be a roe deer, right?" ”
The hunters in the mountains often catch roe deer and take them to the capital to sell, after all, this thing is not only full of fleshy deliciousness, but also stupid itself, not only will not move when you see people, but will even take the initiative to come to the front, it is very good to catch, Pan'er has seen the roe deer before, they are all cooked and brought to the dinner table, and it is the first time to see you alive.
"This roe deer is really a bit stupid, no wonder there are so many roe deer meat sold in restaurants in Beijing, it seems that it is also because this thing is easier to hunt than others."
As she spoke, the little woman's apricot eyes lit up slightly, jumped down from Chu Liang's back, stared at the roe deer, and stretched out her hand.
The little roe deer was startled at first, took a step back, and did not run far, and after finding that Pan'er did not make further movements, he took the initiative to step forward and rubbed the tip of his wet nose against the woman's white and tender palm, and the hot air sprayed on the meat, which was numb and itchy, so that she couldn't help laughing.
"This roe deer is still too small, otherwise half of it will be stewed and half roasted with fire, and it won't be so dry to eat, and it can give you a taste."
Pan'er glared at Chu Liang and snorted: "It's only been a few months since the little thing, you are thinking about eating others, how can you eat it?" ”
Chu Liang was choked for a while, and he didn't say anything for a long time, seeing that the little daughter-in-law wanted to hold the beast in her arms, the roe deer did not dodge, and even rubbed his head on the woman's plump jade ball, and he could see that the place was trembling slightly through a layer of clothing.
Both hands clenched into fists, and the corners of the man's forehead burst with green tendons, obviously angry, but Pan'er didn't look back, naturally he didn't find that Chu Liang's face was hideous, and his appearance looked terrible.
"You don't want to take this roe deer back and keep it, do you?"
Pan'er flexed her fingers, scratched the jaw of the little thing, and saw that the dark and shiny eyes were slightly narrowed, and couldn't help asking, "Can't you?" ”
"In addition to the wolf's teeth in our yard, there is also that wild wolf, if you are not afraid that they will eat the roe deer and the flesh of the belt, you can bring it back, after all, such a big thing is not enough to even stuff the teeth between the two teeth."
Hearing this, Pan'er's mind appeared with the ferocity of the wild wolf eating meat, and for a while he couldn't help but feel excited, his little hand retracted, and he didn't mention the matter of bringing the roe deer back to the yard to raise.
Following behind Chu Liang, the little couple walked back together, on the way Chu Liang also beat a pheasant, a dozen pounds heavy, the tail feather was very gorgeous, the man grabbed the wings and ruthlessly held the back of his hand with his mouth, even if he had rough skin and thick meat, he was also nagged out of a few purple beans.
A single pheasant is not valuable, if a male and a female get together, they can also be sold at a good price, when passing through the wolfberry forest, Lao Qi saw the spirited pheasant, his eyes were shining, and he walked to the two of them in a few steps and said: "This pheasant general don't rush to kill first, I got a female back yesterday, and raised a male and a female in a litter, and when the time comes, I can give birth to a baby pheasant, but I can also taste fresh." ”
Lao Qi came to the waste village, and the work he did was all related to beekeeping, but after the beehives were done one after another, his work became much lighter, staying in the house and guarding, and let those black-hearted people steal honey and take advantage of the waste village in vain.
Idle all day long, Lao Qi just said the words of raising pheasants, as soon as he spoke, he thought in his heart, I heard that General Dingbei has a big temper, in case he offends this big man, I am afraid that I will not be able to keep a stable life during this time, thinking so in my heart, Lao Qi showed regret in his eyes, and stared at Chu Liang worriedly.
Chu Liang has seen a lot of people of all kinds over the years, and he can see Lao Qi's thoughts at a glance, he turned his head and asked his little daughter-in-law: "Do you want to eat pheasant?" ”
Pan'er shook her head and said: "Don't be busy eating first, if you can really get a lot of pheasants out, it's better than eating them now, and when the time comes, sell things to Mrs. Zhao and get some new food, it's better than killing the pheasants directly." ”
Hearing Pan'er's words, Lao Qi was first overjoyed, and then looked at Chu Liang, and saw that the man bowed slightly, and there was no anger on his face, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Left the pheasant directly in front of Lao Qi's courtyard, the pheasant fluttered much more than the chicken, Lao Qi entered the house, I don't know where to find a big pair of scissors, very sharp, click two scissors, the wing feathers on the pheasant wings to cut short, the pheasant is fat again, can no longer fly, can only hold Lao Qi's trouser leg fiercely, circle around the yard.
Pan'er turned around and walked back, and happened to meet Liu's who was holding a wooden basin and going to the stream to wash clothes.
Previously, Pan'er asked Mrs. Qian to give Liu's two taels of silver, although it is not much, but for the Zhuang family, two taels of silver is really a lot, Liu's is a thrifty and provincial-minded person, and the housekeeper is also a good hand, and recently added a daughter, although the life is tight, but with these two taels of silver, I am also relieved, so that when Liu's saw Pan'er, his white face couldn't help but show a hint of joy.
"Ma'am."
Liu Shi called, and saluted Chu Liang and Pan'er respectively, she had never learned the rules, and her movements were naturally far worse than the maids in the big family, but thinking about Liu's craftsmanship in making osmanthus ducks, the smile on the little woman's face was a little stronger, and she asked the woman in front of her:
"I have tasted the osmanthus duck you made with the general, I think it is very delicious, if you are willing, it is better to make the osmanthus duck and send it to Rong'an Fang to sell, so that you can also have more money, and your family's life will be much more comfortable, but if you don't want to, I don't mean to be reluctant."
Earlier, when he was a nurse for Xiaobao, the Liu family knew that the Lin family had excellent mothers and daughters, and they had never relied on their high status to embarrass them as tenants, and pondered carefully, and they had nothing to be greedy for, if they could really send the osmanthus duck to Rong'an Fang to sell, she still took advantage of it, after all, Rong'an Fang was not very famous in the entire capital, and I heard that there were many noble families, so they specially sent their little servants to the shop, just to buy pickles and other food.
Speaking of which, the things of Rong'an Fang are not cheap, the pickles are doubled compared to when they first opened, ordinary people can afford to buy them, but they dare not eat with pickles, otherwise they are not eating pickles, but eating silver, but because of the taste of Rong'an Fang, even if it is the most ordinary side dish, they have a unique flavor, eating salty and delicious, and they are not on fire, if they don't taste it for a few days, they can hook out the gluttonous worms in the stomach.
"Thank you, madam, the little woman is willing to send the osmanthus duck to the shop."
Seeing that the Liu family was so happy, Pan'er pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "Anyway, you also have a lot of chickens and ducks at home, if you can still make anything to eat, you can also tell Mrs. Zhao, she is a good hand in business, much better than those men......"
"I made a osmanthus duck for Mrs. before, the duck gizzard and duck heart and other things were kept at that time, and the little woman used the braised soup to give the goods to the marinated taste, there was no fishy smell at all, plus the duck blood cut into slices, dragon's mouth vermicelli, put them in the soup and boiled together, the taste is not worse than the osmanthus duck, and now it is almost noon, so I will send you over to taste."
