Chapter 123: The Conch
In the depths of the dense forest, the trees covered the sky and the sun, Cheng Nuanxin only felt that the light was dim and he couldn't distinguish things, and there was no trace of anyone else except them. The three of them walked for an unknown amount of time, and the sound of flowing water was endless, lingering in their ears, when suddenly a towering ancient tree blocked the way.
"Xiaochun, I'll go first!"
Liang Wencheng raised his eyebrows, climbed the ancient tree and easily went around the past, and Cheng Nuanxin stood in place embarrassed.
"There's a small road, it's a long way to detour."
Xiaochun covered her mouth and smiled, she really forgot that there was this big tree at the door, and it was really embarrassing for him to come all the way.
The two of them walked through the bushes on the side, saying that it was a small road, but in fact it was a dry stream, and if it was rainy, they would have to wade through it.
"And, how far is it?"
Cheng Nuanxin gasped and asked, he was really physically exhausted and a little powerless, Xiaochun pulled Cheng Nuanxin's arm and asked him to borrow his strength, and comforted him with a smile.
"That's it in front, eat more seafood in a while, Wen Cheng brought it back from the deep sea this morning."
"That's a bit more to try."
The two were talking, and when Cheng Nuanxin raised his head, his vision suddenly opened up, and the bright sunlight sprinkled through the gaps in the leaves, and a forest hut was not far away.
A mischievous squirrel jumped on Cheng Nuanxin's shoulder, he raised his hand to touch its big tail, the squirrel slipped down his shirt with a smoke, jumped to the ground and fled. Cheng Nuanxin smiled, the squirrel fell to the ground, and his heart also fell to the ground.
"Come on, I'm starving."
Liang Wencheng came out of the house with a pot of large conch, and Cheng Nuanxin hurriedly greeted him and took it in his hand.
"I'll do this conch."
Liang Wencheng was stunned for a moment, and then readily agreed, Cheng Gongzi was quite surprised by the fact that he could cook, and she turned around and went to the backyard to prepare ingredients for steamed fish.
After a while, Xiaochun set up the dishes and chopsticks, and Cheng Nuanxin brought a plate of delicious seafood to the table, especially his fried conch that made people appetize.
"Wen Cheng, don't be busy, come over for dinner first!"
Liang Wencheng smelled the fragrance and came in, and saw this brightly colored fried conch at a glance, this conch meat was handled very carefully, she couldn't wait to pick up a piece and put it in her mouth, the taste was fresh and fragrant, the taste was crisp, it was really amazing.
"Yo, there is also this craft, which is worthy of being a frequent visitor to the Drunken Immortal Building."
Liang Wencheng couldn't help but praise when he ate happily, Xiaochun touched Liang Wencheng's arm with her elbow, she said it too straightforwardly, somewhat ridiculous.
"Hey, so-so."
Cheng Nuanxin didn't hear the voiceover, but he was a little proud, this half month he went to the backyard of Zuixian Building every day to learn Cangzhou cuisine, and this oil-fried conch seemed to be not in vain.
"By the way, where did Cheng Gongzi come to Cangzhou?"
Xiaochun put down his chopsticks and asked, Fang just patronized and forgot to ask about serious things, Qingkong was very strict this time but didn't say a word.
"Not for you."
Liang Wencheng gnawed on the sea crab, his mouth was not idle and he didn't delay her to interject a sentence, Cheng Nuanxin smiled He didn't look like a liar, and then told the truth.
"Cheng came to Cangzhou because the little marquis of Mo asked him to do something, so he got his father's approval to go out of Beijing. Speaking of which, I would like to thank Brother Mo for allowing me to see Xiaochun again, and of course, thank Miss Liang for her ......."
"Don't be sensational, if you don't eat this sea crab, it's gone, I'm welcome."
Liang Wencheng interrupted him, she didn't want to listen to those crepe words at the moment, so as not to affect her appetite.
"Huh? Sorry......"
Cheng Nuanxin scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, he didn't want to talk so much, but he felt that if he had been holding back for more than half a month, the joy of seeing Xiaochun had not passed, and he couldn't stop as soon as he spoke.
"Wen Cheng speaks straight, don't you mind."
Xiaochun glanced at Liang Wencheng, who was eating happily, he really didn't look like a woman anymore, and he spoke more aggressively than a man. _o_m
"No, it's too late to thank her."
Cheng Nuanxin smiled and put a piece of conch meat into the bowl for Xiaochun, he was really afraid that Liang Wencheng would eat it up and not leave it for Xiaochun.
"It's delicious, how do you do it?"
Xiaochun tasted it carefully, there was really a true legend of the Drunken Immortal Building, and he used it like this.
The heart is really rare.
"A little particular, you have to choose a fresh conch, break the shell and take out the snail meat, remove the conch yellow and other organs, and remove the hard piece of the head together. @*~~β
Cheng Nuanxin said while gesturing, he learned this dish the most hard, and he knew that Xiaochun would definitely like it.
"Then process the mucus and black film on the snail meat, wrap it in flour and scrub it vigorously, the flour can absorb the mucus of the conch, and after rinsing off the flour with clean water, the conch meat becomes refreshing and clean."
Liang Wencheng rolled her eyes on the side, she still boiled and ate it directly, and just this step directly persuaded her to retreat.
"This stir-fry is also particular, first take a knife and use the way to slice the snail into thin slices, and then put it in ice water to make the snail meat crispier, and prepare the side dishes with green and red pepper slices and fungus, and the ingredients have chopped green onions and garlic slices, and then ......"
Cheng Nuanxin said it eloquently, Xiaochun was fascinated by it, and the adoration on her face gave Liang Wencheng goosebumps. Liang Wencheng raised her hand and put another piece of snail meat into her mouth, she felt that she was better a transparent person who only knew how to eat.
In the courtyard of the Mo family on the island, Wanzhao has been asleep after lunch, the woman will become more and more sleepy after three months of pregnancy, Wen Ye knows this thing best, she immediately ordered someone to warm the dinner in the stove, and it is not too late to eat when she wakes up in the evening.
"Third lady, the next person said you didn't have dinner?"
Mo Yan came back from outside the island, and deliberately changed into clean clothes before coming to look for her, Wen Ye looked up at him who was still free and easy in white clothes and white hair, but his face was slightly tired and distressed.
"I'll eat with you."
Mo Yan smiled and nodded, beckoning his subordinates to bring the food in, there are a few more exquisite pasta dishes today, although they are not as delicate as Qiongzhou, but the taste is good, it is very suitable for Wen Ye's appetite and he couldn't help but eat a few more.
"If you like, let the kitchen do more."
Mo Yan raised his hand to wipe the pastry residue from the corner of her mouth, Wen Ye nodded and immediately shook his head, this pastry is too sweet and it is not good to eat too much at night.
Mo Yan frowned, reluctant to say words of reproach, but there was no way to take her, he could only spoil her.
"Just send it to your room for supper, it's okay."
"Very good."
Wen Ye smiled brightly, raised his hand and poured a cup of fragrant tea for Mo Yan, which was a kind of secret thanks.
This is very useful to Mo Yan at the moment, only she is happy that no matter what she does, he will be very relieved, at least he will no longer be trapped in grief like before.
"Mo Lang, I heard that Cheng Gongzi is here?"
Wen Ye hesitated again and again but opened his mouth, Mo Yan's face sank, and the tea on his lips was not fragrant.
"To the young master?"
Wen Ye knew that he would be angry, but he didn't expect the reaction to be so obvious, and he would be slightly unhappy when he asked him something in the past, but he wouldn't show such an ugly face.
"It was Wanzhao who told me, it should have been Qingtian and her, I didn't expect him to be so infatuated with Xiaochun."
Wen Ye was a little aggrieved, she just cared about her good sisters, didn't she worry too much about other things, and she wouldn't be so indifferent.
"Well, we should meet now, go to bed early and worry less."
Mo Yan's face softened a little, but his mouth was still unforgiving, he knew that he was too careful, and he must have scared her, but for now he could only continue to pretend.
"The eldest princess is ......"
Wen Ye saw him with a straight face, and she was angry and deliberately asked something else, she knew in her heart that Mo Lang would not tell her the truth.
"Just finished talking and worrying, she's very good, it's easy if you don't come forward."
Mo Yan said without changing his face, Wen Ye blinked and looked at him directly, Mo Yan bowed his head and took a sip of tea in his heart.
"This tea is cold, I'll change it for you."
Wen Ye said that he was about to make tea for Mo Yan, but Mo Yan grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms with a wicked smile.
"No, it's time for us to go back to our room."
"It's not serious, it's not dark yet."
Wen Ye gently pushed him away, and the steps under her feet were walking out of the door, she knew that Mo Yan had something to hide from herself, since she didn't worry about anything for the time being, she wouldn't ask again, she believed that Mo Yan would take care of everything.
"Lie down and get a good night's sleep, I'll watch over you."
Wen Ye personally untied Mo Yan's wide clothes, and then pushed him to the bed to cover him.
The quilt was good, and then he lay down with him on the edge of the bed. Mo Yan kissed her forehead and closed his eyes obediently, he was indeed tired today.
The news brought by Cheng Nuanxin is too terrifying, some of the deployments Mo Yan has to be readjusted, just this island has ordered more than a hundred secret guards, he has to guard the third lady at all times, he will never let her have another accident three years ago......
It's a pity that it backfired, Mo Yan woke up and had already changed the sky, Qin Haotian had no patience and took the initiative to find it, he took Chu Tianjiao and a team of dead soldiers, and took advantage of the night to row a small boat to sneak into the island, but he was soon discovered by the nearby Mo family guards, and a fight was inevitable.
Qin Haotian suffered a loss and retreated to the beach, although he suffered heavy casualties on his side, it showed even more that Wen Ye was on this island.
"Hand over the three princesses, I will ensure that your Mo family will be promoted to the rank of official and enjoy the glory and wealth of the generations."
Qin Haotian shouted angrily, he was completely crazy today, and the long wait had exhausted all his patience, and today even Prince Ming retreated back to the palace and closed his door, his plan for the past half a year has fallen short.
"It's so naΓ―ve, what guarantee do you take? The corpse of a soldier under the sand? β
Mo Yan walked out calmly in white clothes, his words were full of ridicule, he expected that Qin Haotian would not be able to hold his breath, but he didn't expect that Qin Haotian couldn't stay up even one night, and he really overestimated the ability of this Qin Gongzi. @*~~
"You did it! It's you! It's you! You should have been killed in Yinshan that day, only to blame that madman Cheng Ruying for dying for you! β
Qin Haotian looked up to the sky and roared, he really regretted that he didn't go to Yinshan in person, if he went, maybe he would see the flaws in Mo Yan's fake death, and he wouldn't suffer from this series of enemies in the future.
"If you're tired of living, you're going to die!"
Mo Yan was furious, Cheng Ruying's death was a thorn in his heart, and it was impossible to touch, since Qin Haotian wanted to die, he could fulfill him today! .
