Chapter 13: Uninvited Guests
The next day, before dawn, the people in the camp could no longer lie down.
People rushed down to the river beach and started their morning hunting.
The Mulan River was generously consecrated, and a large number of fish were carried ashore in baskets.
The riverbank was suddenly in full swing.
Li Wen was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, guiding dozens of sisters-in-law to pickle fish.
A row of more than a dozen smoke rooms was set up, and the pickled fish were placed inside, and the smoke after the pine needles burned, and the smell of fish began to float in the morning light.
The hunters who were going to go into the mountain to hunt worshiped the mountain god, prepared neatly, and entered the mountain under the leadership of the big hunter.
Everything was much better than expected.
Hunting for themselves, fishing for themselves, working for themselves, these people at the bottom don't need to be managed like this at all, they are doing their best to burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm.
The only thing that disagrees is Li Meili, she doesn't know where to find a notebook, every fish is taken out of the smokehouse, and when it cools down to the veranda, she will draw a circle on it, which is actually a copper.
Moreover, people obviously show their gratitude to Li Wen in their respect for this little girl.
The three ladies and three ladies of the people screamed, stuffed all kinds of delicious food into her hands, diligently reported the number of this batch of fish, and obeyed her orders.
Li Wen is really afraid that this little girl will be spoiled.
When he was finally able to take a breath, Li Wen took a half-cooked grilled fish from the fire, brushed it with a layer of salted water soaked in chili peppercorns, and then put it on the fire, roasted it until it was golden brown, and then held it through the crowd and sent it to Li Meimei.
Li Meili didn't raise her head, stared at the account book in her hand, and was about to bite when she took it, but suddenly stopped.
In front of her mouth, suddenly a shiny silver coin appeared.
New money, silver coins glittering in the morning light.
Li Meili glanced up and swallowed her saliva.
"I want two, this is Li Wen's own hand-baked, this is the only one in the world. ”
"Deal. ”
The man took the grilled fish and placed two silver coins on Li Meimei's ledger.
Li Wen glanced at the two smoked fish in the man's basket that were perfect in color and condition, and asked with a smile, "How many silver coins did it take?"
The man sighed helplessly.
"Two silver coins each, the third lady of your family, is very good at business, and said that these two are the best, so they are more expensive. ”
Li Wen laughed, "My family's best at business is the stupid boy Li Facai, Meimei is just too poor, she needs a sense of security, only money and food can make her so." ”
The man laughed, "You spoil her very much, will you spoil her like this?" ”
Li Wen shook his head and said: "She has experienced the most difficult years, and Lao Bu taught her how to behave, so, my sister, has a heart made of gold, don't look at her calculating, I watched her put two smoked fish in the two banished people's bowls last night, in terms of life, she deserves to be your teacher." ”
"Oh," the man hesitated, thoughtfully, and put the grilled fish in the basket, took out two more silver coins, and returned them to Li Meimei, and placed them in her account book.
Li Meili immediately raised her head and shouted at Li Wen: "Big brother, I still want a grilled fish, which is exactly the same as just now." ”
Li Wen nodded with a wry smile and returned to the fire.
The man followed, crouched down and watched as he picked out the best fish, brushed with some sauce, and put it on the fire.
"My name is Li Wen, and I wanted to get acquainted with the noble poet of Xinhuo Town, how do I call the girl. ”
The man raised his head in surprise, and glared at Li Wen with two delicate eyes.
"Is it so obvious?"
Li Wen smiled: "Ear piercing, and throat joints, and, you sometimes your little finger, hehe, it's girly,"
The one blushed, put down the basket, and sat down on a boulder on the side.
This great poet is very temperamental, it can be said that her bearing is extraordinary, she is dressed in a gorgeous silk gown, the belt is inlaid with beautiful jade, the white and flawless face, the facial features are delicate and dignified, the long hair is tied in the green scarf, and the two slender phoenix eyes are staring straight at her.
"You can call me Qu Dongnan. ”
"Oh, Brother Southeast, is this for which son?" Li Wen pointed to the basket.
"It's just to take it back and satisfy yourself. ”
"Satisfy your own cravings? Will the fish of two silver coins be chilled with Xuan Ice that is several times more expensive?"
Li Wen pointed to the bottom of the basket, where water stains seeped out, if you don't pay attention, you can't see it at all, it turns out that there is a layer of ice under the towel at the bottom of the basket.
The ice of this world is actually a product of magic.
Qu Nannan frowned and scolded himself in his heart, he actually let people see so many details at a glance, and he was a fool all these years.
also scolded his own general, the dignified imperial general, at the end of the military order, always add a stroke, and take the collection of special delicacies from all over the world as the top priority.
Alas.
"Ahem, I'm a person who is sometimes too particular and makes Brother Li laugh. ”
After the fish was roasted, Qu Dongnan pinched the fish meat with his fingers, tasted it carefully, and his handsome little face turned slightly red.
Spicy.
The first time I ate chili, I couldn't stand it.
"It tasted a little weird, but it was delicious. ”
She ate at a noticeably faster pace, holding the grilled fish in both hands, trying her best to maintain her image.
After watching her finish eating and wiping her hands, Li Wencai said: "I want to learn calligraphy with my husband, but I don't know what to do." ”
Qu Dongnan looked at him with a shocked expression.
"Impossible, you can't read?"
Li Wen nodded solemnly, and got up and saluted respectfully: "Please Mr. Dongnan, accept me as a student." ”
Qu Dongnan let go of his body, surprised.
"Brother Li's eloquence in the square is ashamed of himself, how can it come from a ......"
"Illiterate, hehe, Li Wen can't read a word, please teach me, and I will pay double the tuition. ”
Qu Dongnan looked at the young man in front of him in even more surprise.
Nineteen years old, he looks quite good-looking, fresh and refreshing, and his clothes are not dirty under such a hectic situation.
Especially on the two eyes, it gives people a feeling...... This is a pair of eyes that have not been bullied, confident, powerful, and level-eyed.
gave Qu Dongnan the feeling that in front of these eyes, even if it was the emperor who was standing, it would not make him humble.
What kind of person is this?
She hesitated visibly, then nodded dryly.
"I can teach you, and it doesn't cost you. ”
Li Wen frowned slightly, there is always some trouble when he doesn't want money.
"Nothing to ask for?"
"No," Qu shook his head.
Li Wen smiled, turned around and left.
"Hey, what's the matter with you?"
Qu Dongnan was surprised.
Li Wen hung the pickled grass carp in the smoking room and said, "Forget it, I didn't say it." ”
Qu Dongnan said lightly: "I'm afraid that my lion will open his mouth, hum, small belly chicken intestines, what big things can I do." ”
"Did I say I wanted to do big things?"
"You are a man who can do great things, with courage, courage, and ability. Just be careful, afraid that I will deceive you? ”
"I wipe ......"
"What do you mean, this tone is very wrong, what do I mean. ”
"Verbally, hehe, okay, I can't talk about you, it seems that I can't teach you anymore. ”
Qu Dongnan glared, and then he also felt funny, and burst out laughing.
"Well, I want your friendship and maybe it will help me in the future. ”
"Hmph, I'll just say ......"
"I'll just say that you have a small belly chicken intestines, you have to mark the price clearly!"
The two of them laughed together.
Li Wen casually asked her to hand over the fish, Qu Dongnan also did it casually, the two of them filled the two smoke rooms, washed their hands together, Li Wen smiled: "Teach us to count first, you see how hard my sister paints copper." ”
Qu Dongnan glanced up.
As more and more fish came out of the oven, Li Meili was so busy that she couldn't lift her head, and while desperately drawing circles on the notebook, she bent her fingers to calculate, which looked very interesting.
The two laughed at each other and hurried over.
