Chapter Eighty-Seven: Seclusion (Part 1)
Li Huaan squatted down, looked at Tearless and smiled: "It's actually very simple, come and see I'll teach you." ”
With that, Li Hua'an took out all the firewood from the stove, then picked up a long wooden stick, hollowed out the middle of the coals in the stove, and then picked out some smaller branches and bark, and put them on top of the coals.
Immediately afterwards, Li Huaan tilted his head, and blew several breaths on his face against the mouth of the coal, and after a while, a fire ignited in the stove.
Seeing Li Hua'an doing it so casually, the stove ignited a fire, and he couldn't help but sigh without tears on the side: "It's so amazing!"
Li Huaan smiled faintly, added some firewood to the stove, brought a few buckets of water from the well in the backyard, added half a pot of cold water to the pot, and then put the steaming bucket into the pot, and put half a bucket of water at the bottom of the steaming bucket, and finally put the brown rice on top and covered it with a lid.
After finishing everything, Li Huaan sat down in front of the stove and started the stove.
"Wow~ Brother Li, you will have so much!" squatted beside Li Hua'an without tears, looking at the fire in the stove and sighed.
Li Huaan smiled slightly, maybe he didn't know without tears, this is just a normal operation in the countryside.
Without much explanation, Li Huaan asked without tears: "By the way, without tears, you didn't look cold before, why are you suddenly so enthusiastic now?"
Seeing that Li Huaan found out that he was abnormal, he didn't hide his tears or hide it, and looked at Li Huaan and said the truth:
"I'm happy, I've been used to that appearance in the palace since I was a child, but I can't be happy in the face of those people with smiles on their faces. ”
"But it's not the same with you, I'm talking about being alone with you. ”
"I feel happy and happy to be with you, and I want to talk to you a lot, but when I go back to the palace, or with other people, I can't find that feeling anymore......"
Hearing that he had praised himself to the sky without tears, Li Huaan scratched his head embarrassedly, looking at the flames in the stove and not knowing how to answer.
After a while, when the water in the pot was boiling, Li Huaan often added a few thicker tree trunks to the stove, looked back and said, "Let's go, let's go pick some wild vegetables and come back." ”
"Wild vegetables?" Tearless stood up and asked curiously.
Li Huaan nodded, took his tearless hand and walked towards the courtyard, and replied: "Yes, it's impossible to just eat without food, but we can't let our princess go hungry." ”
Tearless smiled, deliberately teasing Li Hua'an and said, "What you said, then I want to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas!"
Li Huaan shook his head helplessly, observed the nearby environment and replied, "I'll do my best to ......"
Although Li Huaan was born in the countryside, he is familiar with all kinds of wild vegetables in the wild, and even a kind of grass specially fed to pigs, which can be boiled and eaten......
However, I have lived in the city for too long, and I can't remember whether there are any wild vegetables in this season, so I can only come out to try my luck.
Now it's getting colder and colder, and the little animals are too lazy to come out, otherwise they can get some meat to eat back.
I walked a long way until I came to a small stream, and I didn't see a single edible wild vegetable along the way.
After washing his hands in the cold stream, Wu Tear, who was already tired, couldn't help but complain: "Brother Li, don't you tell me that there are wild vegetables, why haven't you found them after walking so far?"
Tearless words flashed through Li Huaan's ears, and a strange thought came to Li Huaan's heart again.
Li Huaan stood up, pointed to the stream in front of him and looked at Wu Tearless and asked, "Although there are no wild vegetables, how about eating fish?"
Tearless glanced at the stream, nodded slightly and replied, "Okay, yes, but you can't see any fish in this stream?"
"Since I said without tears, I want to eat fish. As he spoke, Li Huaan took out the dragon scales pinned to his waist, pointed to the creek and smiled: "Then I naturally have a way!"
After that, Li Hua'an gathered his true qi in the dragon scale duel, and with a loud shout in his mouth, he clenched the dragon scale duel and swung out a sword qi, and the pale white sword qi flew towards the stream, and after an explosion came out, dozens of small fish were blown away in an instant.
(PS: Civilized life prohibits electric fish and fried fish)
Seeing the fish suddenly falling in the air, I jumped up happily without tears, and now I don't have to worry about running out of food!
After all the fish in the sky fell to the ground, Li Huaan went into the woods and cut a few rattans, used the rattan to run through the gills of the fish, tied the rattan to a long stick, and returned to the bamboo house with the fish in one hand and without tears in the other.
After returning to the house, it happened that the steaming bucket was also emitting white smoke, Li Huaan walked over to take a look, and after seeing that the rice was steamed, he took down the steaming bucket and replaced the hot water in the pot with cold water.
Then take the fish off the stick, place it on the ground and scrape off the scales with a kitchen knife to remove all the internal organs and gills.
Seeing that Xiaoyu's internal organs were taken out by Li Hua'an, he covered his mouth without tears and opened his eyes slightly and said: "Huh~ disgusting......"
After killing three small fish, thinking that it was almost enough to eat, he put the three killed fish into cold water and washed them, and then took out the excess soot from the stove and added some firewood to make the fire rise again.
Although Li Hua'an has been busy all the time, he didn't even have time to say a word, but sat idly without tears and watched the busy Li Hua eat osmanthus cake.
After a long time, the fish was finally cooked, and although there were not as many spices as in modern times, you could still find some basic salt and star anise in the house.
After bringing the food to the house and washing the two dishes and chopsticks again, he sat down with no tears and began to eat.
"Hmm~ This fish is so fragrant!"
Without tears, he couldn't wait to eat a bite of fish, and looked at Li Huaan and couldn't help but admire his craftsmanship.
Although he said that it was delicious without tears, Li Huaan himself didn't think much of it, thinking that he had taken a mouthful of fish and sent it to his mouth, but it turned out to be as ordinary as expected.
Without soy sauce and chili peppers, etc., this fish only has umami, which can only be said to be not unpalatable, but it is really not linked to deliciousness.
But there is a good saying, if this person is extremely hungry, he can eat three bowls of rice alone, coupled with the wolf-eating appearance without tears, Li Huaan's appetite suddenly rose.
"Hmm~ It's delicious, Brother Li, you are so good, you are strong in martial arts and can cook such delicious meals!"
Li Huaan smiled, filled another bowl of rice to Tearless, and did not forget to advise: "Eat more if it's delicious, eat slowly, don't choke." ”
"What about okay?" nodded without tears, and then said, "Brother Li, why don't you go back to the palace with me!"
"Huh?" Li Huaan was stunned for a moment, put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked puzzledly, "Ah, why did you go back with you?"
Tearless chuckled twice, looked at Li Hua'an and replied: "Hehe, the palace is too boring, if I have you with me, then I don't have to think about running out to play!"
Hearing the innocent idea of no tears, Li Huaan first shook his head with a wry smile, and then replied helplessly: "Princess, aren't everyone in the world as boring as you, there are still many things waiting for me, where can I have time to go to the palace to enjoy Qingfu." ”
"Alas~" Wu tearfully put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, looked at Li Hua'an and told the truth: "What's so good about being a princess? Everyone wants to be a princess, but who knows the helplessness behind this?"
"I grew up in the palace since I was a child, and every day I faced the group of villains who didn't smile on their faces, looked at Miyagi, which didn't change much throughout the year, and ate the same dishes for three meals a day, and I was extremely bored day after day, year after year. ”
After hearing the truth without tears, Li Huaan was instantly stunned, Li Hua'an imagined that the days in the palace were the same as in the TV series? Every day, he either went here or there to make trouble, either he had sex with this prince, or he escaped from the palace and lived in peace.
How can the palace be said without tears, as if a wall was built to trap people inside.
However, the brain-dead editors of some TV series are really harmful, and in comparison, the princess without tears must be familiar with the things in the palace.
Although he can immediately feel tearless, but after all, he has not experienced it, and with the truth that he does not know the suffering of others and does not persuade him to be good, Li Huaan did not comfort without tears, but quietly listened to what he said without tears.
"Actually, it's good to live like this here!"
Wu tearfully picked up the dishes and chopsticks and took a bite, looked at Li Huaan and said casually.
This chapter is also so boring that I almost fell asleep writing it......
