Chapter 9: Spicy Crayfish

The officers and men began to search everywhere with their swords in hand, and within a few moments, a dozen people were found in the vegetable cellar of a tenant.

"You pickles, how long do you want to hide here? See if I don't kill you! ”

"The official spares his life~ The sinner didn't want to run, but the rain was too strong last night, and the sinner just wanted to survive and got into the cellar!"

"Still quibbling?"

One by one, the whips were drawn, and the skin of those who were beaten was torn apart.

Song He'er really can't stand these officers and soldiers beating people at every turn, and if they don't give them some color to see, they will become more and more rampant!

Thinking of this, she lit a branch, and crept out into the courtyard, and threw it into the haystack of the firewood house.

"What's going on? How could there be a fire! Who set the fire! The tenants turned their gaze to the heads of the officers and soldiers.

"You have no conscience, we were kind enough to take you in last night, but you are burning my house here and stealing the grain from my cellar, see if I don't kill you!" The tenants gathered together, picked up their hoes and struck at the officers and soldiers.

After three blows and two blows, the officers and soldiers were beaten with blue noses and swollen faces, and they could no longer be complacent, so they had to consider themselves unlucky.

Except for those who were poisoned on the mountain and stoned to death by landslides, there were only four officers and soldiers left at the moment, and after being severely beaten, they were much more honest and continued to move forward with the prisoners.

Leaving the Huaihe Mountains, it will be completely cut off from the capital, and there will be no more rich villages and county towns on the road, but will only get poorer and poorer.

There were still dozens of miles to go from Zhendian, the next state and county, and the rain had washed away the remaining dry cakes, and everyone had nothing to eat except to pick some fruit to satisfy their hunger.

"Tonight, I'll sleep here, as for food, solve it yourself, and be honest with me, if you dare to wait for the opportunity to escape, the whole family will suffer with you!"

After that, those officers and soldiers began to limp towards the broken village in the distance, if Song He'er was not mistaken, they must have gone to the people's houses to eat and drink......

Zhang Xiu'e looked around, a little depressed: "There is no grass in this field, there is not even a river, yesterday there were fish to eat, today I am afraid there is nothing......"

Sister Nian squatted next to the mud puddle to play, but in the next moment, she sat on the ground and cried.

Song He'er and Zhang Xiu'e hurriedly ran over and found a big insect climbing on the ground, with two pincers on its head.

Song He'er jumped up from the ground excitedly!

It's really endless~

Isn't this a stunner in the world, crayfish?

Thinking of the delicious spicy crayfish on the table, Song He'er couldn't help but drool.

Qin Xiaoniang's face was full of surprise, and she pulled her daughter to her and asked, "What are you making a fuss about?" ”

"Auntie, this can be eaten!"

Zhang Xiu'e's eyes widened: "This is a bed bug!" Can't eat! ”

"It's edible, it's not a bed bug, it's a species of shrimp called lobster, and it tastes super good when it's made with chili peppers!"

"How do you know?" Zhang Xiu'e asked rhetorically.

"I ...... Read the book to know. ”

Song He'er thought to herself, there are all the ingredients in her space, but she can't take them out directly, it is better to scatter them in the forest and let them find them, so that the things will come justifiably.

Song He'er stood up when she thought of this: "Third aunt, you are responsible for catching shrimp, and I am responsible for collecting firewood." ”

Zhang Xiu'e is very refreshing, just roll up her sleeves and do it!

Song He'er walked into the poplar forest alone, quietly put some chili peppers, ginger, green onions, garlic, cumin, cinnamon, grass fruits, star anise, bay leaves, peppercorns, and scattered them on the ground, and then turned back.

When Song He'er returned to the middle of the team, she happened to see the housekeepers' daughters-in-law digging birds' eggs.

Li Qiang's daughter-in-law saw her, hurriedly walked over, and said happily: "Fifth Miss, thank you for helping us out of the siege just now, these bird eggs, give them to you...... Don't dislike ......."

Song He'er was a little surprised, there were very few things to eat along the way, and she was willing to give it to others?

Sure enough, there are not only thief women like the eldest lady in this world.

Song He'er thought about it and politely refused, "This journey is very difficult, I don't know what to eat tomorrow, you ladies keep it for yourself." ”

After saying that, she walked to Chundi's side, "Fourth aunt, you go to the forest to see if there is anything to eat, there are many merchants coming and going here, what if you are left behind?" ”

Chundi nodded, and hurriedly dragged Chunrao to the forest.

Zhang Xiu'e next to her, rolled up her pants and caught crayfish in the mud, and she had already caught more than half a pot, which was enough for five or six people to eat.

Qin Xiaoniang put Brother Huan on the ground to play, and followed her to catch it, and without a pillar of incense, the two pots of crayfish were all caught alive.

The big guy poured all the water he had with him and began to clean up the sludge from the lobster.

After a while, Chundi and Chunrao, who went to look for supplies, came back, holding all kinds of ingredients in their hands, "There are really things on this road, although I don't recognize them all, but I know that this is used in the kitchen!" ”

Song He'er smiled and took the ingredients from their hands, "Fourth aunt, there should also be pheasants in the forest, why don't you find some wild eggs so that the children can cook and eat......

"Alright, let's go find it."

Song He'er successfully broke up all of them, and now is the best time for her to show her cooking skills.

Song He'er took out some rapeseed oil from the space, and then put it in the oil pot to heat, when the oil temperature rose, first put in the green onions, ginger and garlic, fry the fragrance and then add the ingredients, until the fragrance in the oil pot is endless, Song He'er poured the crayfish into it and began to stir-fry.

Seeing that the crayfish had changed from black to tempting red, Song He'er secretly took out some condiments such as soy sauce from the space, poured it into it, added water, and collected the juice over high heat.......

It only took half a column of incense to make a spicy crayfish with a beautiful color and taste.

Song He'er extinguished the fire, covered the pot, and waited for the people who had gone out to find wild eggs to come back.

"Fifth sister, look what we found!!"

Song He'er looked back with the voice, and saw Zhang Xiu'e and Sister Nian in their hands, one of them carrying a pheasant, and they were walking towards this side excitedly at this time.

Song He'er couldn't have imagined that this fat third aunt's ability was far stronger than she imagined, and she could even catch pheasants!

It seems that there are still benefits to fat people!

"He'er, this pheasant stewed soup for your little lady to drink, as long as you drink it, you can guarantee milk!"

Qin Xiaoniang smiled: "Brother Huan has to learn to eat, how much milk I have here is not enough for him to eat!" ”

Song He'er saw that there was no Chundi and Chunrao among the people who came back, so she felt a little strange: "What about the fourth aunt and the fifth aunt?" Why didn't you come back together? ”
