Chapter 43: Peach Blossom Boiled Fish
Lu Xiaosan finally knew the truth, but in fact, no one wanted to hide it from him.
It's just that every time he and Lu Xiaoer go out of that high mountain, they will forget the story of the day.
So even after hearing the explanation, he was still skeptical, and agreed with Lu Xiaoer that next time he went there, he must find a way to remember some things.
It's a pity that his buttocks are swollen, and in view of the fact that it may indeed be too stressful, Lu Xiaoxiao and the others unanimously decided that it would be good to let Lu Xiaoer go by himself in the next few days, and let Lu Xiaosan rest for a few days.
Although Lu Xiaosan's buttocks were swollen, he didn't need to go to Tianya Town to memorize the name of the sword, but he was not idle, and asked Lu Xiaoxiao to take out all the things he had memorized during this time and look at them.
It was Lu Xiaoxiao who re-transcribed it, because Lu Xiaosan's handwriting was a little sloppy.
This is also the reason why Lu Xiaoxiao's room is still lit in the third watch in the middle of the night.
The little boy Lu Xiaosan pouted his buttocks while lying in Lu Xiaoxiao's room flipping through those poetry collections, but he couldn't help but sigh.
It turns out that I'm really so good, and I've memorized so many things.
Lu Xiaosan felt that he should change his name to Lu Xiaotiancai in the future.
When he and Lu Xiao came up with this idea, Lu Xiaoxiao did not object, probably remembering his own name change turmoil a long time ago.
Lu Xiaosan didn't really change his name to Lu Xiaotian, after all, this name is not smart when he hears it.
After flipping through the poetry collection, Lu Xiaosan twisted his ass again and asked his senior sister Lu Xiaoyi to take him to Luofeng Canyon.
Le Chaotian was being urged by Nandao to practice swords in the canyon, after all, as an uncle, he was chased and killed by his own nephew for half of the mountain, which was too embarrassing.
Of course, Le Chaotian would not be so embarrassed by Lu Xiaosan, but after all, he was his uncle, and he was in that position where it was difficult to do and not easy to teach, so he simply ran to the Little White Sword Sect.
It turns out that it has to be Lu Xiaoxiao, the senior sister, who can suppress this group of young people.
After all, he is also the sect master of the Sword Sect.
When Le Chaotian was wearing those sparse fallen leaves, he saw Lu Xiaosan being supported by Lu Xiaoyi and walked up, looking at this scene, Le Chaotian wanted to laugh a little, so he put away his sword and stood there, looked at Lu Xiaosan and said deliberately: "Lu Xiaosan, who did you find out today who is a monster?" β
Lu Xiaosan was so angry that he was about to break free of his senior sister's hand and run over to beat up Le Chaotian, the hateful uncle.
Although Le Chaotian does not have the majesty of his uncle, it is obvious that Lu Xiaoyi has the majesty of his senior sister.
"Little three!"
As soon as these threatening words came out, Lu Xiaosan stopped struggling sullenly.
Le Chaotian laughed softly, walked over, looked at the little boy and said, "What are you doing in the canyon today?" Didn't Senior Sister say that you don't have to go there to recite the name of the sword? β
Lu Xiaosan was sullen for a while before letting Lu Xiaoyi lie down under those maple trees.
"You can't do anything if you stay in the Sword Sect, and you have to be scolded by the master from time to time, so it's better to come up and take a walk." Lu Xiaosan said very melancholy.
Le Chaotian couldn't stop laughing on the side, sat down next to the two little ones, and didn't say anything.
Nandao should have cultivated sword intent in the small building at this time, and Qingjiao was sitting in the corridor of the wooden house to blow the wind.
The world in winter is not very splendid, a mountain is withered and yellow, the gorge is cold, and there is no insect sound, but the cold wind blows from time to time, but there is a bit of loneliness.
Lu Xiaosan lay on the fallen leaves under the tree, he didn't feel cold, looked at the canyon, and said very melancholy: "Uncle Shi." β
"Huh?"
Le Chaotian was originally looking at the scenery over there in Xiaolou, but when he heard Lu Xiaosan's voice, he turned his head and looked at him puzzled.
"Do you know what's in that place?"
Lu Xiaosan didn't remember a lot of things, so he just talked about that place.
Le Chaotian thought for a while and said, "I haven't been there again, you can go and ask your Uncle Nan." β
"Master said that he could come to disturb you, but try not to disturb Uncle Nan."
Le Chaotian laughed softly and said, "Why? β
Lu Xiaosan said very seriously: "Because Master said that Uncle Shi, you are lazy and lazy all day long, even if you sit quietly, you will not be practicing, most likely you are thinking about something delicious to eat." β
β......β
Le Chaotian was silent, and then said with a sigh, "But it's really delicious!" β
Lu Xiaoyi: "......"
Lu Xiaosan knew that Le Chaotian would most likely say such a sentence, but he just looked at Le Chaotian and said, "How delicious is it?" β
Le Chaotian said with a smile: "All kinds of deliciousness, all kinds of happiness, just like that time when we went fishing, you can bake and eat, you can simmer and eat, or you can sprinkle all kinds of spices and cook it." β
"Do you want to put chili peppers?"
"You can put it if you like."
"Then I'm going to put a lot of chili peppers, and I'm going to spread them all over."
"You can also sprinkle some chopped green onions, add some ginger and garlic pieces."
"I'm going to eat this!" Lu Xiaosan suddenly came to his senses, startled Lu Xiaoyi on the side, and after coming back to his senses, he gave him a head in the face angrily.
Lu Xiaosan looked at Lu Xiaoyi innocently and said, "Senior sister, what are you doing beating me?" Don't you like to eat? β
Although Lu Xiaoyi is a serious sword cultivator, when he encounters this kind of problem, he still thinks seriously for a moment, and then says, "Can you put less garlic?" β
Le Chaotian laughed softly on the side.
Qingjiao walked into the canyon at this time, and when he saw the three of them, he seemed to be a little puzzled, and said, "What are you doing?" β
Although he was startled by this red-clothed woman standing in the moonlight of the canyon like a female ghost at the beginning, and he didn't dare to stick his head out of the quilt for several nights, Lu Xiaosan slowly adapted to the existence of this green pepper who built a small cabin in the canyon.
At this time, he was quite happy and said, "We are boiling fish to eat." β
Qingjiao was silent for a while, looked around, looked a little incomprehensible holding the sword, and said, "How to cook?" β
Lu Xiaosan said with a smile: "Don't worry, the fish hasn't been caught yet." β
"How do you fish?"
Lu Xiaosan looked at Le Chaotian, Le Chaotian tilted his head and thought about it, and said, "Then let Lu Xiaoyi go fishing." β
Everyone looked at Lu Xiaoyi, and Lu Xiaoyi said very solemnly: "Okay, I'll go, where do you put your fishing rod, uncle?" β
Le Chaotian said softly: "It's already in your hands." β
Lu Xiaoyi thought it was very interesting, so he also became lively, sat up straight, and continued: "Then where do I go fishing?" β
"Go to the stream! I fished three of them there last time! Lu Xiaosan said excitedly, regardless of whether his buttocks hurt or not, he was lying there twisting and twisting, like a restless green worm.
Lu Xiaoyi said: "Okay, I've walked to the stream, but I don't have bait." β
Le Chaotian looked at Qingjiao, the woman who was still cold on weekdays was silent for a while, and sat down with a sword in her arms.
"I'll dig it for you."
So the bait was also available.
"Then I'll start fishing." Lu Xiaoyi said very seriously, looking at the canyon ground in front of him.
Lu Xiaosan and Le Chaotian stared intently at Lu Xiaoyi's hands, as if there was really a fishing rod there.
"Oh~" Lu Xiaosan suddenly exclaimed, "A fish has been hooked!" β
Le Chaotian rubbed his hands on the side, looked at it expectantly, and at the same time instructed: "Be quiet, don't startle it away." β
Lu Xiaosan covered his mouth by himself.
Lu Xiaoyi's expression was serious, his mouth pursed unconsciously, and then he raised his hand suddenly.
There are no fishing rods and they are empty.
"e=)) Alas."
"Ran away, you must have been scared by the junior." Le Chaotian said very regretfully.
"I'm sorry I was wrong." Lu Xiaosan said pitifully.
Everyone looked at the green peppers.
The woman in red sat with her sword in her arms and said with a word of regret: "It's a pity." β
So Lu Xiaoyi threw the fishing rod down again.
It was as if there was a 'pop' sound in the stream.
None of the four of them spoke, staring straight at the fishing rod in Lu Xiaoyi's hand.
Lu Xiaoyi suddenly let go of a hand, touched the braided braid, and said; "Oops, it's raining, are we still fishing?"
Le Chaotian said with a smile: "It's okay, the slanting wind and drizzle don't need to return." β
Then there was some drizzling sound by the stream.
"The rain seems to be getting heavier."
The three of them turned to look at the woman in red, who was twisting the water from her long hair, and then took a black tie from her wrist and tied it high.
Le Chaotian looked at Lu Xiaosan and said, "Then Xiaosan, go back and get a few hats." β
"Okay." Lu Xiaosan shouldered a heavy responsibility, and after a while, he said, "I have already brought the hat back." β
So they all put on their hats and continued to wait quietly by the stream.
"Huh." Lu Xiaoyi suddenly clenched the fishing rod in his hand and pulled it back and forth at the same time.
The water in the stream was murmuring, and it seemed that a big fish was struggling.
The three people who were watching from the sidelines held their breath and watched with a sigh of relief.
"Whoa!"
The big fish jumped out of the water.
"Oh, it jumped out, its belly as white as snow, its back as green as a mountain, and its scales like many little silver appliquΓ©s." Lu Xiaosan looked at the canyon ground in front of him, as if looking at the stream, and said in surprise, "What a big fish!" β
Le Chaotian said worriedly: "Xiaoyi, be careful, don't slide down." β
Lu Xiaoyi said: "Okay uncle, but it's too big, I can't hold it, uncle come and help me." β
"I'm on the other side of the stream, senior sister, you go and help."
"Okay." Green Pepper said simply.
So the big fish was pulled up by the two of them.
"Bang bang bang."
The big fish was bouncing on the ground.
"Little San, hold him down."
"Okay, oops, its tail pumped in my face!"
Lu Xiaosan said while covering his face.
Le Chaotian rubbed his hands and said, "It's okay, let's go back and cook it and eat it." β
"Good!"
So everyone returned to the canyon with their hats in the drizzle and began to deal with the big fish of more than ten catties.
"What are you doing?"
Nandao, who was holding an umbrella and carrying a sword on his back, walked in, looked at the strange four people and asked.
Le Chaotian said with a smile: "Senior brother came just in time, we just caught a big fish. β
β.......β
Nandao looked at the four people sitting under the maple tree, speechless.
The arrival of the South Island did not affect the happiness of several people fishing in the void, that is, even the green peppers were immersed in it, as if they were burning a fire.
Probably the fish has been processed, Le Chaotian looked at Nandao with a smile and said, "Senior brother, what are you doing in a daze, go and cut some side dishes." β
Nandao was silent, sat down on the side, handed the peach blossom sword in his hand to Le Chaotian, and said, "Let's boil some peach blossoms in water." β
Le Chaotian's eyes lit up, clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay, this is good, then today's fish is called peach blossom boiled fish." β
"Yay!" Lu Xiaosan stretched out his hand and cheered.
Five people sat down around the pot.
Le Chaotian looked at everyone and said, "Do you want to add anything?" β
Lu Xiaoyi thought for a while and said, "Add some enoki mushrooms, if you want to remove the fishy, add some ginger leaves." β
"Dig up a big spoonful of chopped peppers with chili water." Lu Xiaosan licked his lips and said.
Le Chaotian said with a sad face: "Do you want to kill me?" β
Lu Xiaosan smiled.
Green pepper said on the side: "Add some green peppers." β
Le Chaotian: "......"
So the soup in the pot slowly became lively, the soup base is gurgling and bubbling, red with yellow, ginger leaves and green peppers are green, chopped peppers are red, garlic cloves are white, enoki mushrooms are beige.
Immediately afterwards, the fish turned white, like snow falling in a pot.
Le Chaotian stretched out his hand and sprinkled green onions and peach blossoms inside.
Lu Xiaosan sniffed the fragrance, drooled, and said, "Can you eat it?" β
Le Chaotian said with a smile: "You can eat it, but not yet." β
"Why?" Lu Xiaoyi asked puzzled.
Le Chaotian looked at Nandao and said, "Senior brother, go get chopsticks!" β
"Oh!" Lu Xiaosan said with a smile, "Yes, how can you eat without chopsticks." β
Nanjima also blended in, and said with a soft smile, "The chopsticks are here." β
"Uncle Shi is so good!" Lu Xiaosan said, making a snorting sound. "But I can't help but drink the soup first, whew, it's hot, but it's delicious!"
"I declare, this is the best peach blossom boiled fish in the world!"
Lu Xiaosan said excitedly.
"Shhhh Le Chaotian said softly, "Otherwise, let your master and Uncle Wu know, and you will scold us for eating alone." β
"Okay, okay." Lu Xiaosan lay under the tree and said in a good manner.
Everyone sat secretly under the tree, gathered around the steaming pot, and ate a beautiful boiled fish.
So when Lu Xiaoxiao walked up to this cold but steaming canyon in the twilight, he heard Lu Xiaosan muttering there-too delicious, too delicious.
Lu Xiaoxiao looked dazedβprobably everyone who just came to the canyon would be at a loss.
"What's so delicious?"
"Peach blossom boiled fish!"
Lu Xiaosan said without thinking.
But he quickly reacted, looked at Le Chaotian and said, "Uncle Shi, quickly hide the pot!" β
Le Chaotian sat there and said with a smile: "Okay, I've already hidden, and the fish bones have been taken to feed the wild cats." β
Lu Xiaoyi thought for a while and said, "It seems that there are no wild cats here just now." β
Le Chaotian chuckled and said, "We only smelled it after we finished eating, it was a... Hmmm....."
"A chubby tanuki cat with an orange pattern, who likes to jump through the window to pick other people's finch." Nandao helped Le Chaotian think of a cat out.
Le Chaotian clapped his hands and smiled: "Yes, it is such a cat, it came on tiptoe from the other side of the canyon." β
Lu Xiaoxiao pondered there for a long time before he realized what they were talking about, looked at the five people suspiciously, and said, "You guys were eating fish just now?" β
"Nope!" This is Lu Xiaosan's voice.
"Yes." This is the sound of green peppers.
"Ahh Lu Xiaosan wailed, glared at Qingjiao and said, "You hateful old woman, I'm going to be beaten when I go back!" β
Qingjiao rarely laughed softly and said, "When you were told to eat, you kept picking up the fish tail to me." β
Le Chaotian and Nandao were both laughing there, and Lu Xiao looked at his nose and nose, and swayed there with his sword on his back, pretending not to know anything.
Lu Xiaoxiao was completely confused, walked to the five people, and turned back and forth a few times, but unfortunately he didn't see anything, so he looked at Le Chaotian and asked uncertainly, "You guys were really eating fish just now?" β
"Yes." Le Chaotian said with a smile, "I also put enoki mushrooms and peach blossoms, and I ate them deliciously." β
Lu Xiaoxiao was silent for a long time, touched Le Chaotian's forehead, and then touched them one by one, not even letting go of the green peppers.
It was normal and there was no fever.
Could it be that you were poisoned by eating some wild mushroom on the side of the road?
Lu Xiaoyi secretly pulled the fallen leaves on the side with his feet.
Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, looked at Lu Xiaoyi and said, "What are you hiding?" β
Lu Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Hide fish bones." β
"Didn't you say you were eaten by some feral cat?"
"There's a piece that fell here."
Lu Xiaoxiao leaned over and turned it over several times, but he didn't see any fish bones.
"Why didn't I see it?"
Lu Xiaoyi grinned and said, "Because I'm hiding." β
β......β
I couldn't find it because I was hidden.
The pot was also hidden, and the fish bones were eaten by wild cats.
Lu Xiaoxiao stood there with a blank expression.
Could it be that they were really secretly eating fish just now?
Le Chaotian looked at Lu Xiaoxiao and asked, "What did Senior Sister do when she suddenly came up?" β
"The little three and the one are gone, I'll come up and take a look."
Lu Xiaoxiao said while looking around for evidence of several people eating fish.
It's a pity that nothing was found.
"Did you really eat fish?"
Lu Xiaoxiao asked.
"Yes, we did." Nandao said sincerely.
Lu Xiaoxiao scratched his head and left the canyon.
So do they eat fish or not?
Lu Xiaoxiao was puzzled.
Lu Xiaosan watched Lu Xiaoxiao's back disappear into the canyon from a distance, and then smiled.
"Shh~" Le Chaotian looked at Lu Xiaosan with his finger on his lips, and still said seriously, "I'll be laughing later, otherwise your master will really find out that we ate a fish." β
This sentence made the little boy confused.
"Did we really eat a fish?"
Le Chaotian chuckled softly and said, "That's nature. β
"What kind of fish?"
"The belly is snow-white, the back is blue, the scales are shining, and the fish of the heart."
Lu Xiaosan was still there ignorant.
On the other side of the canyon, the footsteps of another young boy could be heard.
Sounds very cheerful.
Then the five of them saw Lu Xiaoer walking over with a sword on his back and carrying a fish, and the little boy with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes who liked to pretend to be handsome did not hold back, and looked at a few people with a smile and said: "Look, when I just came back, I picked up a fish by the stream, and I don't know how to jump ashore, we can cook the fish and eat it!" β
Lu Xiaosan looked at the fish in Lu Xiaosan's second hand - the stomach was like snow, the back was like a mountain, and the fish scales were fine and dense, like a small decal shining with silver light.
The little boy lying under the tree looked at Le Chaotian with an incredulous expression.
