Chapter Eighty-Three: Hiding from Leisure

Although several people had never made paper kites before, under the guidance of Chunzao, they did not encounter any difficulties, and Zhijun and Nijun also joined in.

Talking and laughing, the atmosphere is joyful.

Even Kite Jin and Kite Bi, who had never played with them in the front yard, couldn't help but do it, and made one by one.

When Lu Xiaowen returned from hunting, he threw the hares and pheasants he had hunted to the side and asked the people in the kitchen to deal with them.

The skinned rabbit and chicken are ready to be grilled.

When Lu Mingzhen heard his father coming back, he ran out with his little kite to show him: "Father look at the paper kite I made!" ”

It's a black-red, black-red swallow.

Lu Mingyan also dragged his big paper kite out with a little difficulty and showed it to his father.

He made a steed consisting of a brownish-red body with a black mane.

Lu Xiaowen picked up a child with one hand and walked inside: "Good job, tomorrow I will take you to the field to put paper kites and see who flies the highest." ”

Lu Xiaowen didn't see the paper kite made by He Shaoguang until before dinner, and he couldn't help but ask.

He Shaoguang smiled mysteriously at him: "You'll know tomorrow." ”

At night, the family eats while roasting around the charcoal stove, and the freshly grilled rabbit meat is tender but not fishy, and it is a delicious meal without too much seasoning.

He Shaoguang touched his round belly and ate it gloriously!

On the second day, as soon as the people around Zhuangzi looked up, they could see a bunch of colorful kites flying in the sky, the most eye-catching of which was He Shaoguang's graffiti-like cat.

With a golden bell tied to his neck with a green rope and a red hat on his round head, he was playing with a shivering mouse, and he stuck out his tongue to lick his nose, which was very cute.

She introduced to Lu Xiaowen that this was Mangosteen, and when she was making a kite yesterday, she remembered that by chance she saw Mangosteen chasing a mouse, so she had an idea.

It's just that mangosteen doesn't have a bell around its neck.

All right. Lu Xiaowen thought that after he went back, he asked people to pick a box of all kinds of bells from the warehouse and send them to He Shaoguang, so that Mangosteen could wear them.

Yesterday the master hunted hares and pheasants, and Zhuangzi estimated that they liked to eat them, and today he found someone to get a lot of game from the mountains.

The children who had eaten the barbecue yesterday expressed that they were tired of it, especially Lu Mingzhen, and strongly asked He Shaoguang to make other for them.

The chef on the Zhuangzi is not as skilled as Master Tian in the house, and it is okay to try it occasionally.

He Shaoguang hadn't cooked for a long time, and his hands were itchy.

Seeing that these wild animals were still alive and very fresh, he divided the rabbit meat processed by his subordinates into two parts, one for stewed rabbit broth and the other for stewed rabbit meat.

In addition to the rabbits, they also brought back several small mallards.

Different from the usual ones, these pure wild ducks are very small, the meat is firm, and they are not as fat as the domestic ones, even Lu Mingzhen can eat a whole one by himself.

He Shaoguang asked the steward for some honey and sugar.

Rub spices and salt into the belly of the duck and set aside to marinate. Then chop the garlic into minced pieces, take a handful of shallots, mix the sauce, sesame paste, sugar, starch, some wine and spices, spread it on the duck, and marinate for a while.

Take a few slender wooden strips from the backyard, fix them horizontally and vertically, scald them with hot water, drizzle them until the skin is hard, then wipe off the surface moisture, and brush them with a layer of honey.

Only then was it put into the stove to roast, He Shaoguang handed over the roast duck to the cook, and instructed that it must be rotated frequently when roasting, so that the roasted product can have a uniform color.

Seeing that there were so many processes before she roasted a duck, the master on Zhuangzi smacked his mouth, poked his elbow at the master next to him, and exclaimed: "Our lady is really ingenious, this set is more decent than the master in the restaurant, what a waste. Ay! ”

The other master knew that he was not used to it, and he didn't lift his eyelids: "You don't want to think about it, people are the general's wife, and it is rare to be a boss like you?" ”

"That's too."

The main house is gone, and the people in the kitchen are also scattered, chatting with each other.

When Rong Jin came over, Xiao Xia at the door greeted her with a smile: "Miss Rong Jin, come to get food for Aunt Jiang?" ”

The cooks are only responsible for two meals a day, and they are asked to cook them themselves in the morning, and these two meals are often perfunctory.

Xiaoxia is not so high-minded, and every time I see her, I have a smiling face.

So Rong Jin also greeted him with a smile: "Yes, you're not busy, are you?" ”

"What can we do?" Xiao Xiale said, "Zhuangzi is the most leisurely, you have stayed for so long, don't you feel more comfortable than in the house?" ”

Xiaoxia also came out of the house, and he felt that life in Zhuangzi was much more comfortable.

"I'm afraid that the masters will stick to the second master's side and haven't done ours yet." Rong Jin explained.

"No, Madame cooked by herself today. The masters are idle, you can go in. ”

Xiao Xia shook his head, he squatted and smelled the fragrance, which hooked him so much that the worms came out.

"Hey." Rong Jin stepped into the kitchen and sniffed, "It's so fragrant, what did Master Zhou do?" So fragrant? ”

Master Zhou is a man in his thirties, five big and three thick, tough-looking, and has no heart.

Hearing Rong Jin ask, he scratched his head and pointed to the oven on the side to show her: "No, the wild duck roasted by Madame is strange and fragrant." ”

Rong Jin walked over and glanced at it curiously: "It's all ducks?" ”

"And rabbit meat, simmer in a pot."

Rong Jin took a look at it and immediately covered it: "Hey, good." I'm here to get food, is my aunt's ready? ”

Master Zhou handed her the lunch box: "No, there is some rabbit meat left, I will fry it for you, I don't know if my aunt is used to eating it?" ”

Rong Jin glanced down, three dishes and one soup, a stir-fried beans, a meat foam eggplant, and a cabbage tofu soup, all of which were a little warm.

Only the fried rabbit meat was still steaming, apparently Master Zhou added food to them.

Rong Jin hurriedly thanked Master Zhou, said a lot of good things sweetly, embarrassed Master Zhou, and pushed her out of the door directly.

Xiao Xia saw her stumbling, and laughed: "Lao Zhou doesn't pity the fragrance and jade again!" ”

Rong Jin smiled at him embarrassedly, and hurriedly left with his food box, leaving behind the men's laughter.

He Shaoguang estimated that it would take about the same time, and made a soup with the washed wild mushrooms and the rabbit meat left, and put a handful of wolfberries and longan in it.

When you take a bite, it's really tender and sweet.

Then I picked up the fresh vegetables grown by myself in the vegetable garden behind Zhuangzi, and fried two side dishes, which were refreshing.

This meal can be said to be extremely fresh, from the origin directly to the stomach.

He Shaoguang asked Lu Xiaowen: "Do we eat all the dishes in Zhuangzi by ourselves?" Or will it be pulled to sell? ”

Lu Xiaowen thought about it for a while and found that he really didn't know about the property in Zhuangzi, so he invited Steward Chen to ask.

Steward Chen pinched a handful of sweat and said with a smile: "Our Zhuangzi is small, we don't grow much, we eat it ourselves, and other larger Zhuangzi also grow vegetables and grain and sell them." ”

Although he is telling the truth, he is really afraid of being scolded by the master for being lazy and unproductive......
