Chapter 124: The Smell of Fish by the River
When Bai Qige came back with the basket, he saw that Ning Xidrunk and Feng Wujiang were missing by the campfire, and when he asked curiously, he realized that Yi Chenjing was embarrassed about the identity of the two just now, but fortunately, the two didn't look angry.
The basket was heavily placed on the ground, Yi Chenjing raised his eyebrows and looked back, Bai Qige looked back dissatisfiedly: "You have to go against Ning Gongzi." Their father and son really had the intention of harming the Yao Army, and it was not enough to put some poison in the wine and meat provided, so why bother to follow the army for so many days and endure all the hardships. Always be so suspicious, no matter how good a person is, he will become an enemy in your eyes. ”
"For the sake of safety, we have to guard against it." Yi Chenjing said lightly.
He has such a personality that harsh criticism will not help. Bai Qige shook his head, and looked into the distance, a wisp of green smoke rose, and it was Ning Xi's drunken father and son who were cooking on a fire outside their small tent.
"What is the final conclusion. It's really a remnant of the Cheyenne tribe. ”
Yi Chenjing lowered his head and poured wine, and his tone was slightly dull: "It shouldn't be, your Ning Gongzi has light blonde hair, and the Xia An clan is all black hair, I just suspect that the old man called Feng Wujiang, since Ning Xidrunk said that the old man has been by his side since he was a child, he is naturally not a remnant of Xia An." ”
"It's not the best,, wait," suddenly sensing the question in Yi Chenjing's words, Bai Qige squinted his eyes, "What do you mean by 'my Ning Gongzi'." What are you suspicious of? ”
Yi Chenjing shrugged, grabbed the basket and touched it inside, provoking the corners of his mouth to divert the topic: "The hands and feet are quick enough, they are all packed up and strung so quickly, I have done it before." ”
The fish in the basket were neatly strung on the branches, and the scales on the outside had been pulled out and washed, Bai Qige raised his head proudly: "I haven't eaten pork and seen pigs run, those soldiers by the river are busy grilling fish, and I will learn from them while watching how they get them, this thing is not difficult." ”
A group of people who couldn't talk for a long time finally had something to say, and they stared straight at the fish in the basket one by one, and their eyes were green.
"The princess is gifted and intelligent, she will learn what she will do, and what are the difficulties of the little fish."
"The general has a wife like this, and he can go up to the hall and get the kitchen, it's really a blessing."
"In this life, a man also refers to having a good daughter-in-law, well-fed and warmly dressed, and some people feel distressed when they are cold and hot, and the last general is envious when he sees the general and the princess and his wife."
"That is, where to find a wife like the princess who is both civil and military and has a good personality. Ah, of course, it's rare for a general to be so mighty......"
For a while, the flattery and beautiful words were endless, and Bai Qige felt that his heart was empty, and in the end, Liang Gong, who was still straightforward and fast-talking, swallowed his saliva and broke everyone's thoughts in one sentence: "The princess...... Fish, can you grill it? ”
A thousand words, in fact, are all for the fish that are washed clean and waiting for the fire to be eaten.
Bai Qige, who has never been in the kitchen, is rarely addicted to housewives, refusing to hand over the fish to others to cook anything, rows of branches are erected on the bonfire, and the thin body is very close, staring at the fish seriously, and it will be turned over every few moments, for fear that the roast will be scorched or unevenly roasted and affect the evaluation of everyone, and it will not take long for fine beads of sweat to roll down from the smooth forehead.
Yi Chenjing sat on the side and watched, not saying or moving, with a smile in his eyes, his eyes never left Bai Qige's face from beginning to end, Xiao Baishan and the others simply treated the two of them as if they didn't exist, drinking by themselves and waiting for the feast to be served.
The aroma slowly overflowed, and everyone around the bonfire took turns swallowing saliva, Bai Qige continued to roast without hurry, until he was sure that the fish had been roasted thoroughly, and then nodded with satisfaction and planned to take it, but his hand was just halfway out but was stopped by Yi Chenjing.
"Something is missing." Facing Bai Qige's confused gaze, Yi Chenjing took a small cloth bag by the bonfire, picked up a piece of salt from it, crushed it and sprinkled it on the fish, tore a few fragrant leaves and kneaded them and put them on them, then stretched out his hand and motioned Bai Qige to personally give it to several lieutenants and soldiers.
Those deputy generals and soldiers are all older than them, and they are all above the two in terms of seniority, as a junior, Bai Qige should serve the food in person. Yi Chenjing hopes to use this subtle move to bring Bai Qige closer to the generals, the march is hard, and it is always good to have multiple people to help and take care of her sincerely.
After assigning all the fish, Bai Qige turned around and beckoned: "Qiao Erhe, you also come over." ”
If she didn't say anything, Yi Chenjing almost forgot about Qiao Erhe, who was dutiful in the back, and nodded and ordered Qiao Erhe, who was restrained, to sit down together, it seemed to be a little crowded, but there was a lot more peace and warmth.
The fish meat roasted until clear yellow is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the aroma is fragrant, Liang Gong was the first to can't help it, picked up the fish and bit it hard. Seeing Liang Gong's hungry tiger pounced, everyone else moved their index fingers, and they also picked it up one after another, and svenile tore off the fish meat with their hands, most of which were the same as Liang Gong, and they took a bite.
"How's it going, does it taste okay?" Bai Qige was not busy eating, but looked at everyone expectantly, with an eager expression like a bride making her first meal waiting for her in-laws to evaluate.
"......" Xiao Baishan glanced at Bai Qige strangely.
"Haha, haha......" Chen An smiled, but there seemed to be some painful expressions hidden in it.
"Hmm......" Gu Senjun also looked at Bai Qige with a complicated expression.
Bai Qige finally couldn't hold his breath and looked forward to Yi Chenjing.
Yi Chenjing gasped, and the fish that had just been put in his mouth didn't know whether to bite it or not, and after looking at everyone's expressions, he became more and more hesitant: "Why don't you speak." Good or bad. ”
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one will let go of Chrysostom, so the heavy responsibility and trust of the eyes fell on Liang Gong, who has always been accustomed to saying all kinds of things that offend people. Liang Gong raised his head, his eyes were slightly red, and he stared at the fish with regret, and the corners of his grinning mouth were painful: "Bitter...... ...... guts"
"Bitter gall." Bai Qige snatched the fish in Yi Chenjing's hand in disbelief, "Impossible, I took out all the internal organs like them, how can I still have bitter gall." After taking a bite like a rage, Bai Qige stopped talking, and his expression was completely synchronized with everyone other than Yi Chenjing.
She didn't know that it was not enough to remove the fish gall bladder, and once the fish gall bladder ruptured during the removal process, the place where it got the bile would still be bitter to death.
Among all the people, only Yi Chenjing didn't eat the fish, seeing Bai Qige's head drooping and depressed, he felt both unbearable and funny, turned his head and sighed helplessly: "I can go up to the hall and go down to the kitchen......"
When she can go up to the hall and down to the kitchen, probably everyone will have to go through the hell of eating in the world.
Just when everyone was feeling sorry for the failed grilled fish, the sound of cheerful chewing came clearly, and a circle of eyes followed the sound and focused on Qiao Erhe.
Most of the fish had been eaten, and only a small piece was still strung on the branches, Qiao Erhe happily continued to conquer the last piece of fish as if he had no sense of taste, with a happy expression on his face.
"If it's unpalatable, don't eat it, I'll go over there and ask for a few more to re-roast." Bai Qige said in a low voice.
"It's not unpleasant, really." Qiao Erhe smirked, wiped the residue from his mouth and looked at Bai Qige seriously, "As long as it is roasted by the princess, it is the best, and Coptis chinensis can also be turned into honey, which is better than anything else." ”
An indescribable feeling came to his heart, Bai Qige was silent, looking at Qiao Erhe and not knowing what else to say, his throat was sour.
There is such a person in this world who praises her so highly, and it is sincere and not flattering. Qiao Dahe has given up his life for her, and Qiao Erhe, as a younger brother, not only did he hate her for killing her brother, but instead took over his last wish to keep her safe, and regarded everything about her as the most beautiful thing...... Such a love debt, she couldn't repay it all her life.
Xu is Qiao Erhe's expression made everyone feel guilty, and the fish that had been put down picked up again, and carefully tasted the taste.
Yi Chenjing also lifted the fish on the branch and took a bite, the bitter taste that stained his lips and tongue was very strong, but he still swallowed it. Qiao Erhe is just an ordinary person who looks up to the light of Bai Qige, and he forgets all the pain because of his longing, why can't he. He is her husband, and he should be the man who protects her and loves her the most in the world, and there is no reason to be left behind in this regard.
Is it that he loves not enough.
"Lose it......"
Bai Qige couldn't help but reach out to grab it, Yi Chenjing turned sideways to dodge, and pressed Qing Thin's shoulder: "I want to eat and roast myself, this is mine." ”
A circle of people ate happily one by one, as if the bitter taste had never been there, and some were just fragrant, which was a rare delicacy in the world, or a feeling that no one could replace.
"Oh, yes." Yi Chenjing suddenly remembered something, took out two skewers of grilled fish from the bonfire and handed them to the messenger, pointed to the direction where the light smoke rose in the distance, and smiled pure and gentle, "Go, send these two strings of fish to Boss Ning, share weal and woe, and they are indispensable." ”
The moved expression froze on his face, and Bai Qige was instantly furious.
"Yi Chenjing."
"I just want Boss Ning to taste your craftsmanship too, don't worry about it." Yi Chenjing hooked the corners of his lips, an innocent expression.
Bitter, then you have to pull rather get drunk and suffer together.
Hundreds of miles away, another luxurious carriage galloped towards the camp of the Great Yao Expeditionary Army, and the man in the car who was half-closed and resting was elegant and gentle, and the blue-eyed young man with a more delicate face than a woman on the other side was expressionless and indifferent.
A small stone under the wheel caused the carriage to bum, Yi Chenxuan opened his eyes, lifted the curtain and looked out the window at the vast night, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Jinyan, you haven't told me why you're chasing, I shouldn't have told anyone where I'm going when I left." ”
"Where else can His Highness go with Bai Haoyu."
"That's a clue." Lifting his foot and stepping down, he landed not on the hard floor but on the soft body, and a muffled snort sounded low. Yi Chenxuan straightened up and lowered his head slightly, the bloodstained young man kept **, his voice was blocked by dirty rags and couldn't get out, which somewhat reduced Yi Chenxuan's irritability: "Then you should also tell me what the reason for chasing is it." Don't tell me Qiqi asked you to come, she doesn't know what I'm going to do. ”
Su Jinyan closed her eyes, seeming a little sleepy.
"There are seven princes here, and I am worried that His Highness will be injured by him, so I rushed to protect him."
"Oh, yes." Yi Chenxuan knocked on the car window and smiled meaningfully.
