Chapter 42 - The First Stop, Shifting Flowers Valley
"Yu'er, show me the map, where are we going?" Xiao Ergou and Yu'er left Xiaojiazhuang and rode westward for almost half a day, and came to a plain!
The place is very vast, and at the end you can faintly see a mountain range undulating!
At this time, the sun was hanging high, and Xiao Ergou was riding on horseback under the scorching sun, so hot that his mouth was dry!"Why is there no shelter here, it's really hot for me!" Xiao Ergou couldn't help but complain!
"Wait, I'll see!"
"This should be the Norman Plain, going west, it should be the Valley of Shifting Flowers!" Yu'er took out the map given by Xiao Wugeng and looked at it for a long time. And then after some comparison, I said!
"Shifting Flowers Valley, how can there be such a special name!Does it mean that the flowers have been removed?" Xiao Ergou listened to the strange name. Whispering!
"Haha, it's almost the same as this, the map records that the flowers in the Shifting Flower Valley are particularly beautiful, so that everyone who sees them can't help but want to pick them back! Hence the name!" Yu'er couldn't help but laugh after hearing Xiao Ergou's words!
"Girls love flowers, so let's go to this Flower Shifting Valley first! Anyway, we're not in a hurry, it's good to take a walk along the way!" "It's so hot, there's not even a place to cover it!" Xiao Ergou and Yu'er simply ate a little dry food on horseback, drank a few mouthfuls of water, and then went all the way west!
The endless Norman plain, with the blue sky and white clouds, Xiao Ergou and Yu'er galloped all the way against the bright sun, and finally arrived at the Shifting Flower Valley when the sun was about to set!
"Ouch, this experience is really not a good errand, I'm almost exhausted! This Shifting Flower Valley looks not far away, and it has been running for several hours!" Xiao Ergou led the horse and walked towards the Shifting Flower Valley on foot!
"The so-called Wangshan ran a dead horse, I guess that's what it means, hehe, Xi Ge'er is going to retreat!" Yu'er said with a smile!
"How is it possible!Just go out, I finally came out for the first time to practice, how can I retreat, I'm not just complaining, complaining, hehe!" Out of machismo, how could Xiao Ergou say that he was going to retreat, although he regretted it a little, but he could only say it hard!
This flower valley really lives up to its name, the birds in the valley are singing and the flowers are fragrant, all kinds of flowers are competing to spit out each other, there is a lake in the center of the valley, from time to time there are small animals coming in groups, drinking water by the lake! The sunset is reflected on the lake, a little breeze blows, and there are bursts of ripples, it is really beautiful!
Although the sun is already setting, the arrival of the night still can't hide its proud charm!
"It's so beautiful here, it's like a paradise, even if you live in Yu'er for a lifetime, you're willing to do it!"
Xiao Ergou had just tied the horse to the trunk of the tree at this time. I'm going to catch some small animals for a game barbecue! I don't know that their arrival has alarmed the delicious meal by the lake! The little animals are rushing around!
"Look, as soon as you make a noise, this dinner is gone, what else is there to eat!" Xiao Ergou couldn't help but complain!
"I also see that the scenery is so beautiful, and don't we have all kinds of cooked food in our storage bags!" Yu'er blinked her eyes and said with some grievances!
"It's okay, it's okay. There will definitely be no shortage of fish in this lake, I'll try to see if I can catch some fatty fish, and then let's get a grilled fish or something!" Xiao Ergou hurriedly took out a fishing rod from the storage bag and comforted!
"Ah, Brother Xi'er can still fish?" Yu'er didn't expect Xiao Ergou to be fishing, so she was a little surprised!
"Of course! There are a lot of people in your family, what's all the fuss!" As an orphan who once grew up eating hundreds of meals, you have to know all kinds of survival skills, right?
I have to say that people who have endured hardships must be very good at living after they have money! Xiao Ergou is one of them, this preparation is quite rich, only the unexpected, there is nothing that cannot be done! He and Yu'er's storage bags are full of doors!
"It's getting dark, while I can still see the road clearly, I'll go pick up some firewood!"
"Slow down, don't go too far. Beware of danger!" Although there is no danger in this valley, but after the last incident, Xiao Ergou still has palpitations, so he is concerned to speak out!
"Don't worry, Brother Xi'er, I'm fine......" Yu'er's voice has faded away!
When Yu'er came back with firewood, Xiao Ergou had already caught four or five big fish! They were all varieties that Xiao Ergou had never seen before, about three catties and one by one! The color was golden. It looks amazing!
"Wow, Brother Xi is so amazing, he has caught so many fish in just a while! This is the unique golden carp of the Shifting Flower Valley! I heard that the taste is delicious! I haven't had a chance to taste it yet!" After Yu'er put down the firewood, she came to Xiao Ergou's side, and saw that there were four or five fish jumping around on the ground, and couldn't help but cry out in surprise!
"It's nothing, brother... Hey, another fish has been hooked!" After Xiao Ergou finished saying very stinky fart, he picked up the rod and pulled up a "golden carp" that weighed almost five catties!
"Well~ this one is the biggest, it's best to use it to make soup, let's bake and eat the rest! It's getting dark, Yu'er hurry up and make a fire!I'll clean up the fish first!" Saying that, Xiao Ergou ignored Yu'er, and took out a foot-long dagger from the leggings and began to disembowel the fish!
Xiao Ergou's technique is quite skillful, and if you don't know, you think it's the chef of a certain restaurant! After a while, Xiao Ergou disembowels the fat fish and cleans it!
Then I took out a small basin and salt from the storage bag, put the fish in the basin, and sprinkled a few large handfuls of salt to marinate the fish!
"Brother Xi'er, why don't you put so much salt? Won't it be salty for a while?" Yu'er came to Xiao Ergou's side after making a fire, and saw that Xiao Ergou put a lot of salt, and couldn't help but say loudly!
"Hehe, you don't understand this, do you? Put more salt when marinating, and then wash it when you start cooking, so that not only can the fish taste in, but also remove the fishy smell of the fish. You don't care about this, you can eat it in a while!" Xiao Ergou took out an iron pot, beat half a pot of water in the lake, and began to boil the water!
