Chapter Seventy-Five: The Visitor Is the Guest
Chu Xiaoran began to marinate the rabbit.
Economically, the Song Dynasty was more prosperous than the Tang Dynasty.
On top, the seasoning is already very complete.
Like onions, ginger, garlic, pepper, peppercorns, perilla, mint, sesame seeds, these barbecue must-haves can be bought.
Chu Xiaoran marinated the rabbit meat according to his own taste.
There are two important steps in how to make roasted rabbit delicious.
One is pickling, and the other is the control of the heat.
The pickling is not good, everything is in vain, the heat is not well controlled, it is too hot and burnt, and the color and luster are too small to reach the taste.
Speaking of which, it's a technical activity.
Dai Manshu held his hands and squatted aside, waiting to eat.
Tsk tsk.
It's kind of like ......
"You don't have to look at it like that, go to that recliner and rest, I'll call you."
"I want to learn, and then I can roast and eat it myself."
Chu Xiaoran: "......"
Well, studious kids, it's good.
Roasted the pickled rabbit on the rack, and taking advantage of this gap, Chu Xiaoran personally went to the kitchen to get a pot.
Washed some more mushrooms.
In the current weather, it is already difficult to get natural mushrooms, and they are all picked by Zhou Tingtian who went to the mountains before dawn.
If it was before, Chu Xiaoran would naturally not let Zhou Ting go to the mountains.
Now, his body has been washed by the Five Spirit Spring, and it is the time to temper his muscles and bones.
The mushrooms are boiled with spiritual spring water.
A quarter of an hour or so.
The umami of the mushroom soup wafts out along with the hemp aroma of roasted rabbit.
The greedy Dai Manshu drooled.
"It's morning, let's drink a bowl of mushroom soup to moisten our intestines."
Chu Xiaoran wanted to take out a bowl and handed it to Yun Xiang: "Take this bowl to my mother." ”
The second bowl is for Dai Manshu.
Chu Xiaoran boiled a lot, and Yun Xiang and Zhou Ting both had a share.
The last bowl was served to myself.
Dai Manshu blew a mouthful, steaming upward.
I took a small sip, and my eyes lit up.
"Xiao Ran, your craftsmanship is also too good, this mushroom soup is really the most delicious soup I have ever tasted."
Chu Xiaoran smiled and didn't speak.
Mushroom soup, as long as it is fresh, is boiled in ordinary water and seasoned with some salt, it is delicious.
What's more, she uses spiritual spring water.
This one is so fresh that your tongue can swallow it.
After drinking the soup, Chu Xiaoran moved his hand and removed the leg of a rabbit, and finely cut the meat into small pieces of equal size.
A plate full of them, and asked Yun Xiang to bring it to Chu Mu again.
Then she took a whole rabbit that had not been touched to Dai Manshu.
"No, it's delicious!"
Chu Xiaoran only took one rabbit leg for himself, and gave the rest to Yun Xiang and Zhou Ting.
Dai Manshu was a little embarrassed and said, "Could it be too much?" ”
"Yes, otherwise you'll have to eat a rabbit's head, that's the essence."
After Chu Xiaoran finished speaking, he made a gesture to take the rabbit in Dai Manshu's hand.
A rabbit that has reached the mouth.
Where would Dai Manshu let it fly like this, jumping far away with the rabbit in his arms.
"This one is mine, you can't rob me."
"Didn't you just say that there would be too much rabbit meat, just to help you share some of it." Chu Xiaoran said with a forced smile.
Dai Manshu took a big bite of rabbit meat.
"I'm being polite to you, do you understand?"
"Oh, it turned out to be polite, but now I understand. However, in my house, you really don't have to be polite. ”
Chu Xiaoran and Dai Manshu got along very happily.
And sister-like freedom.
Dai Manshu lived in the Chu family for seven days, and ran to Wen Qishan with Chu Xiaoran every day, and the two cultivated together.
And then there's the fight.
Under Dai Manshu's sparring, Chu Xiaoran used the nine-section whip with ease.
On the seventh day, you can take fifty moves under the hands of Dai Manshu.
The progress is not insignificant.
When Dai Manshu was there, Qin Che didn't come out in the space, and it was only on the eighth day that as usual, he practiced swordsmanship, exercised his body, and Chu Xiaoran cultivated.
After cultivating, the two walked out of Wen Qishan together, and when they arrived at a populated place, Qin Che entered the space again.
June 12th.
After eating, Chu Xiaoran took advantage of the fact that it was still early and took Yun Xiang and Zhou Ting to the cornfield.
The corn is growing very well, literally one day at a time, and at this rate, it is estimated that it will be harvested in early September.
Wu Dalang was weeding and fertilizing the corn, and her mother was wiping his sweat.
The two have a long relationship and a tacit understanding.
Chu Xiaoran didn't go to say hello and returned the same way with Yunxiang.
When he was about to arrive at the door, he saw several good horses tied to the door.
There is a maroon red horse with a pinch of white hair in the middle of the horse's head, which is particularly familiar.
Wait a minute......
Isn't this the horse of Lord Zhao!
What did he come to his house for?
Could it be because he deliberately let the horse pout him last time, and he saw through it, and deliberately chased him to his house to settle accounts with himself?
It's been a long time since I'm so stingy.
Chu Xiaoran naturally didn't know that he was retaliated against by Zhao Huan at the gate of the city as early as the matter of pouting him.
She came to the front of the hall with a sigh of relief.
sat down with a humble face, and the maid-in-law who was waiting next to him, Zhou Tingwu, and housekeeper Zhou Tingwu were all there.
There are also the guards brought by Zhao Heng.
With so many people in the house, the door of Zhuangzi is wide open, and from the door, you can see a man and a woman sitting far away, probably to avoid suspicion.
Mother Chu was facing the gate and was the first to see Chu Xiaoran.
She greeted Chu Xiaoran gently: "Xiaoran, come to my mother." ”
Chu Xiaoran lifted the corners of his mouth with his hand.
Tell yourself that whoever comes is a guest.
To laugh!!
"Come, let me introduce you, he is ......"
Qiao Yanran hadn't said Zhao Heng's identity yet, but Zhao Heng intercepted her words: "Second lady, this official has met Miss Xiaoran once. ”
"Mother, I did meet Lord Zhao once."
Qiao Yanran's eyes flashed slightly, and her delicate heart suddenly understood that Zhao Huan didn't want his identity as the crown prince to be exposed.
So he nodded: "That's the case, then you talk, I'll miss the company first." ”
Wait for Chu Mu to go away.
Chu Xiaoran spoke: "Lord Zhao, if you have nothing to do, you can say anything directly." ”
Anyway, if he didn't take the initiative to pout him, she wouldn't be stupid enough to admit it.
"This official has encountered several cases recently and needs your help."
As he spoke, he took a piece of paper from Gu Sheng's hand and handed it to Chu Xiaoran.
"My lord, I won't solve the case."
Chu Xiaoran didn't look at it, and felt that Lord Zhao was looking for her, purely because he was in a hurry to go to the doctor.
"Miss Xiaoran, if you take a closer look at these files, you will know why I am looking for you."
The dossier is about half an inch thick, and the font is typical of Song style.
In fact, during the Huizong Dynasty, there was already a thin gold body, because it was created by Huizong of the Song Dynasty and was the emperor, others did not dare to imitate it at will, so it was not popularized.
The first page of the dossier is the case of the sunken corpse.
It has been four months since the incident.
The deceased was a woman, named Wang Yuduo was nineteen years old, from Dongping Town.
Married, her husband's surname is Tian, and she has two shops in the town, and the family conditions are quite solid.
