"Since the honored guest from afar has made a request, we, the hosts, will naturally satisfy it! Little Shitou, call Fang Ping, take the bucket, and let's touch the snail lion!" Naturally, guests who exuded a kingly demeanor paid more attention to them.
Who knows what kind of temper Prince Jing's son has! Don't look at him always smiling, but it makes her feel scared from the bottom of her heart. There is a kind of person called smiling tiger, who can chop off people's heads with a smile. This kind of person is much more terrifying than the little county king with a dark face all day long. Although the little county king had a bad temper and a bad mouth, he never really got angry in front of her. Even those who were blown bearded and stared at by her, never punished her. Xiaojun Wang should belong to the type of knife-mouthed tofu-hearted, right
If she had seen the moment when King Yang killed people without blinking an eye, she wouldn't think so! The title of "Cold-faced Hades" did not come out of thin air. Zhu Junyang will be able to allow her, a little girl, to dominate her head!
Zhu Junyang saw that Yu Xiaocao was acting like a dog to the emperor, he held his breath in his heart, and said angrily: "Why do you give him something when he says he wants to eat it, but you treat the words of the master as fart?!"
Yu Xiaocao looked like a man of integrity: "Prince Jing's son is a guest, so naturally he should treat each other with courtesy."
"Am I not a guest?" Zhu Junyang pointed to the tip of his nose and asked in a low voice.
Yu Xiaocao curled her lips and said: "What kind of guest are you? You come here to eat and drink twice in three days. If I really treat you as a guest, I won't be exhausted! Well, I will take you to touch the snail lion and experience it. The joy of labor, shall we go?"
"Don't go!" Zhu Junyang turned his head away arrogantly, snorting coldly with his nose turned into the sky, "My father ordered food and refused to cook, and even asked me to do work for you. There is no door!!"
It has become a habit for the two guys, one big and one young, to bicker, and the Yu family has long since become numb, what should they do. Zhu Junfan looked at the two with great interest. This little cousin is usually absolutely aloof, and he cherishes words like gold, even when facing him, the emperor, with a cold face. Unexpectedly, the cold-faced Hades had such a childish and innocent side, and he was so red-faced when he competed with others for a plate of fried snail meat. Tut tut! What an eye-opener! !
"Second Sister, Xiaojun Wang, do you still want to touch the snail lion?" Little Shitou looked at the two guys childishly arguing non-stop, and looked at the sky. Can't eat fried snails anymore.
Yu Xiaocao agreed, and gave Zhu Junyang the back of his head: "Will you go or not! You can just stay in this courtyard! Sir, are you interested in watching us touch the snails and lions?"
Zhu Junfan has never experienced the fun of farming in his two lifetimes, and it is rare for him to go out of the palace once, so he naturally refused to let go of this rare opportunity.
Yu Xiaocao took her two younger brothers, took a small bucket, and greeted "Prince Jing" to the backyard. The backyard is also full of vegetables, and there is a gravel path between the vegetable fields leading to the back door. After opening the back door and walking two steps, I came to a lake.
The lake is very large, and the water is emerald green. In the distance, a group of ducks were swimming happily in the water, making "quack" calls from time to time. Qian Wu, who was releasing ducks by the lake, saw Xiaoshitou and Liu Fangping, and Sa Yazi ran over.
Seeing the two little guys with buckets in their hands, Qian Wu was even happier, and shouted: "Little Shitou, are you trying to catch small fish? I'll help too!"
Xiao Shitou shook the small bucket in his hand, and said with a smile, "No! The second sister took us to touch the snails, and we will eat fried snails at noon!"
Qian Wu babbled and said, "The fried grass is so spicy that the snails are delicious! I'm good at touching snails, let me help you!"
The three little guys hit it off immediately, and ran to the lake hand in hand, touching the snail lion with their buttocks pouted. Perhaps because of the drought, the water level of the lake was very low. Several children rolled up their trousers, stepped on the mud by the lake, and groped carefully with their little hands.
"I found a big one!" Xiao Shitou's surprised voice sounded, and in his raised small hand was a snail the size of a pigeon egg.
"I've touched it too!!" Not to be outdone, Liu Fangping took the conch lion he touched in front of the little stone, and compared with him who was bigger. No matter who is old or young, they will not be unhappy, and the laughter sprinkles ripples on the lake.
Yu Xiaocao found a relatively gentle slope by the lake, spread a layer of hay on it, and said to "Prince Jing", "My lord, sit here and rest for a while. There are no snails and lions in the lake. Less, we have a lot of people, and we can get enough for lunch in a while!"
She rolled up her sleeves, walked to the lake, and carefully looked for the shadow of the snail lion through the lake water. After the death of her parents in the previous life, in order to let her younger siblings eat something different, she often went to the waters of the nearby subsidence area to touch the snail lion. She has experience!
Looking at the indistinct shadow in the water, she shot very accurately and never missed. The bucket in her hand was quickly covered with a layer of snails of different sizes.
Zhu Junyang, who followed silently behind them, was also attracted by the occasional cheers from the children, and felt itchy in his heart, so he took off his shoes and touched the snails just like the children.
Yu Xiaocao couldn't help yelling at him: "Aren't you unwilling to touch the snail lion? Why did you follow quietly?"
"I'm happy, I'm happy! Can you control it?" Zhu Junyang's arrogant appearance rivaled that of Yu Xiaocao's golden kitten. Yu Xiaocao curled her lips and snickered.
Touching a snail lion is not a technical job, Zhu Junyang got started very quickly, and would show off in front of Yu Xiaocao when he touched a bigger snail lion. Yu Xiaocao took out one bigger than him from her bucket and grinned triumphantly.
Seeing the happy faces of the children, Zhu Junfan felt itchy in his heart. He took off his shoes and was about to go into the water when he was stopped by his bodyguard: "Your Majesty, please think twice!"
"Think twice, why think twice! I still think twice! The water is so shallow, what can happen? Who will stop me, I will throw him into the lake to feed the ducks!!" Zhu Junfan threw the folding fan in his hand towards the hand of the bodyguard . Seeing that he caught his love fan, he went into the water with his bare feet.
The lake water in summer is warmed by the sun, and there is no ice under your feet. Zhu Junfan followed the example of several children, touching and touching in the water! Hey, I found one! Not allowing him to be happy, he took his hand out of the water and saw that it was a small stone. The smile cooled down on his face, and Zhu Junfan felt sullen again.
Several of his bodyguards bent down to protect him tremblingly, for fear that he would slip and fall into the lake...
I was worrying, only to hear a "plop", and the water splashed everywhere. The children let out a burst of laughter. Zhu Junfan looked up and couldn't help laughing until he couldn't straighten up. It turned out that his little Mensao cousin was sitting in the water with his ass on his buttocks, looking dumb, very interesting!
Perhaps because of laughing so hard, Zhu Junfan suddenly felt his body shaking, and he was pulling back with both hands, still unable to maintain his balance, and he was about to fall into the lake. The guards guarding his left and right quickly grabbed his arm and dragged him ashore.
Zhu Junfan, who had made a false alarm, wanted to go into the water to touch the snail again, but his bodyguards said they would do nothing. It was easy to talk, and finally persuaded the emperor. The guards were also sweating. If the emperor really fell into the water just now, they would definitely be punished when he returned. well! The work of protecting the emperor is really not done by humans!
In less than half an hour, the kegs in the hands of the three Xiaocao siblings were full. Xiaocao caught a lot of small fish while no one was paying attention, and prepared to wrap them in batter and fry them. Crispy and crispy, the taste is very good!
Back in the courtyard, Yu Xiaocao poured the snail into a large wooden basin, filled the basin with clean water, sprinkled some salt in it, and secretly dripped some diluted Lingshi water. Doing so can speed up the speed at which the snail spits out sand.
Yu Xiaocao picked some vegetables from the few rows of vegetable fields that had not been sprayed in the morning. After thinking about it, he also took some frozen locusts from the cellar, and decided to prepare some food for "Prince Jing" that he had never seen, let alone eaten.
At noon, a large pot of red fried snails was brought up. Because all the snails touched by Qian Wu were given to Xiaoshi, Yu Xiaocao asked his younger brother to send a small pot to Qian's family. Since it was given to Qian's family, Zhou Shanhu's family, who had a better relationship, could not be left behind, so they also gave a pot. The east family gave it away, and the west family gave it away. In the end, there was only such a pot left!
Zhu Junfan tasted one, and immediately found the feeling of eating snails and drinking beer in his previous life. Spicy and spicy snails, paired with a pinch of cold beer, the taste is indescribable. It's a pity that he is a shipbuilder who doesn't know how to brew beer. Wanting to drink beer can only be a dream!
The meal at noon is quite rich. There is Zhu Junyang's "Pork Stewed Vermicelli". The pork is fat but not greasy, and the vermicelli is shining with crystal luster, which makes people very appetizing at first sight.
There is also a plate of fried small fish. Yu Xiaocao specially picked up the small fish with the length of the index finger, packed them with seasoned flour, wrapped them in a thin layer, and deep-fried them in oil until golden brown. The bones inside the small fish are fried and crispy, and it is fragrant and crunchy in the mouth, which is very delicious.
I also cut a plate of red oil ear shreds and a plate of pork head meat. These are the pig's heads that Mrs. Liu saw the distinguished guests and didn't prepare any good dishes at home, so she specially picked up the pig's head from the ice cellar and cleaned it up, and marinated it while the children were touching the snails and lions. Now, the technique of Liu's stewed pork head meat has the trend of being better than blue, and the taste is not inferior to Yu Xiaocao's.
In addition, there were several plates of green vegetables in oyster sauce, lettuce in oyster sauce, lettuce with garlic and mashed lettuce, all of which were delicious in color and fragrance, and a few guards couldn't help but cast their eyes on the dishes.
The most special is a plate of fried locusts. It looks scary, but it actually tastes more fragrant than fried small fish, like fried crispy shrimp. At the beginning, Zhu Junfan didn't dare to eat. He just watched the children of Yu's family stuff them into his mouth one by one, chewing them so loudly. Even his cousin Zhu Junyang ate several of them in succession.
Yu Xiaocao saw the tangled expression of "Prince Jing" who wanted to try again but refused to put down his chopsticks, hurriedly chose a seeded locust, put it in Zhu Junfan's bowl, and said with a smile: "My lord, the locust in this locust The roe is more fragrant than crab roe, you can try to taste it, and spit it out if you don't like it!"
