Running fast all the way, when they arrived at the small courtyard, Wen Shouzheng, Chef Tang and others had already prepared lunch.
Cai Mi didn't know when she came back, she stood aside, coordinating with everyone, swiftly serving plates and stools.
Ren Yue closed his lips tightly, a hint of playfulness flashed in his brows and eyes, he looked at the jujube in Gentle's hand, and seemed to be smiling.
"Everyone is hungry, hurry up and take a seat!" Qiao Zizhang was busy, inviting Mr. Song Tao and his party to take a seat, while arranging Chef Wen and the others to sit at another table.
After the arrangement is complete, everyone started.
If you live in a small town, you don't have all the ingredients in Zuixianlou, and you can't see high-end dishes, but there are fresh ways to eat in the mountains and countryside.
Stewed wild chicken with mountain mushrooms, fresh bamboo shoots, seasonal potatoes, tender radishes, swimming fish in the pond, brightly colored native eggs, and goats raised by farmers in the mountains...
There are meat and vegetables, and the combination is appropriate. Although it is not done gently, it is also a wonderful pen with Wen Shouzheng's skillful hands, showing its freshness.
The people at the two tables were snoring for a while, except for Sheng Jiaoxue's master and servant and Ren Yue, the others had no appetite at all. Liu Xian, a child who grew up in the palace, had never seen so many mountain delicacies for a while, and he had a big appetite. open. Not only did he have a round belly, but his chubby little face was covered with rice grains and vegetable dregs.
"Miss Wen, I just saw you bring a tree's fruit in, but it's also a delicacy in the mountains?" Sheng Yaoshan seemed to feel that he was full after eating and drinking.
"Ah... that..." Wen Rou was at a loss for words for a moment, and kept looking at Ren Yue.
Ren Yue deliberately shifted his gaze elsewhere. He picked up the bowl and ate the food in the bowl slowly.
"Young girl Rou, it's fresh fruit from the mountains. Why don't you try it for everyone after the meal. With rice and vegetables, soup and fruit are complete, it can be regarded as a complete feast!" Master Qiao followed and looked at Rou Rou happily.
This meal is simply too delicious, if you can eat some fruit after the meal. What a blessing in the world!
"This... the fruit may not be delicious." Rourou hesitated.
"How could it be? I saw that Miss Wen brought in such a big tree. It must be delicious. Besides, according to Miss Wen's eyes, if the fruit is not delicious, why would she pick it?" Sheng Yaoshan smiled heartily. Then, I reached out to help get the fruit.
"It's really not delicious!" Wen Rou was anxious.
"Sister Rou'er is afraid that we will share the fruit and eat it all, so she wants to keep it alone! Hahahaha!" Yuanzi said jokingly.
"I..." Wenrou is really angry, these people. When have I ever eaten alone? I am such a person! Well, since you want to eat, I won't stop you. eat it. What do you say when you see it!
Wen Rou thought so, and didn't argue anymore, just gave Ren Yue a fierce look, walked to Ren Yue's side first, and picked a few jujube fruits from the branches, "Mr. It’s not considered a different fruit, but it’s also delicious in the mountains, why don’t you eat more.”
After all, he put the jujube fruit in front of Ren Yue.
"Sister Wen, you are so partial! Why did you give it to Brother Ren Yue first?" Before Ren Yue could react. Liu Xian had already rushed over with chubby little hands. Grabbing the pile of wild jujubes with both hands, he placed it in front of Mr. Song Tao, "I have to give it to Mr. first." Liu Xian said in a milky voice.
"Thank you, Your Highness Ninth Prince." Mr. Song Tao smiled kindly, and gently stroked Liu Xian's forehead.
"Sir, you just had lunch and haven't digested it yet. You need to rest for a while before eating this jujube." Rou Rou was a little worried. If Mr. Song Tao bit down on such a sour jujube, his teeth would still be sore!
"Hehe, okay, eat later." Mr. Songtao listened to the persuasion.
But Sheng Yaoshan and the others couldn't wait for a long time, how could they wait for Wen Rou to send out the sour dates, so they couldn't wait to do it themselves, grabbed it off, and then stuffed it into their mouths.
Ren Yue added soup slowly on purpose, and drank it slowly, just not to join the ranks of eating jujube.
"Miss, this fruit looks very fresh! Try it." Linglong also scrubbed a wild jujube and handed it to Sheng Jiaoxue.
"Ouch!" Sheng Jiaoxue yelled.
"Bah!" Qiao Zizhang spat.
"Hiss." Sheng Yaoshan took a big mouthful, closed his eyes tightly, and the facial features on his face were almost tangled together. At this moment, his mouth was full of sourness, so sour that tears were about to flow out, and it was not easy to spit it out in front of everyone, so he rushed out.
"Bah, bah." Yuanzi spat out,
"Bah." Zhu Zi quickly took a big sip of water.
"Ah, hiss." Liu Xian was so sad that he slapped his mouth with his hands.
Wen Shouzheng, Chef Tang and the others also had sour looks on their faces. The sour dates were simply too sour.
Fortunately, Mr. Songtao did not eat.
"Let me tell you, this fruit is not tasty, you don't believe it..." Ruan Rou murmured to herself, she retreated while talking, and when she reached the door, she ran out at a fast pace, as if she was afraid that someone would chase her out again.
"Hahahaha!" There was a burst of sour laughter in the room.
"From now on! You must listen to Rou girl's words!" This was Mr. Song Tao's voice.
After a day of laughter in the mountains, Mr. Songtao and others went to rest early.
After dinner, Wen Shouzheng was sent away gently, and continued to do all the chores in the kitchen by himself.
"Girl Rou, go back and rest, I'm fine here." Cai Mi stayed by Rourou's side all the time, first unwilling to leave, and then kept urging her.
"That's fine! Then... Uncle Cai, you should go to bed early after packing up! I'm really tired today!" Wenrou wanted to refuse at first, but after thinking about it, a wonderful idea came up spontaneously, and she went along with it. Then Cai Mi agreed.
Cai Mi was finally left alone in the kitchen.
In the dark kitchen, after Cai Mi quickly cleaned up the dishes, her bright eyes began to look around.
At this moment, behind a big tree outside the kitchen, Rourou is hiding in the dark, watching Cai Mi's every move closely.
"I knew you had to steal tonight, but I want to see what tricks you have tonight!" Wen Rou secretly said in her heart.
I saw that Cai Mi first stood in front of the fish basin for a while, then shook his head to himself, probably because he was tired of making fish continuously.
I groped in the vegetable basket for a while, and left, probably because I thought it was all vegetarian, and I would turn into a rabbit if I ate it.
Finally, Cai Mi stopped on a leg of lamb he just bought today.
In fact, I bought two legs of lamb today, made one for dinner, and prepared the other for tomorrow.
Because the number of lamb legs is limited and the size is big, Cai Mi pondered for a while before the leg of lamb, and finally decided to steal a piece of leg meat.
I saw Cai Mi picked up a razor from the stove, first pierced obliquely through the leg of lamb, walked along the texture of the lamb, and stopped at a position in the meat after a while, probably After judging the position to be taken, the razor picked out a large piece from the inside to the outside. Although it was a large piece, it was relatively thin after all, and it was picked secretly from the inside, so after the outer meat was covered, unexpectedly Can't see it at all.
Wen Rou couldn't help being shocked, this saber technique is really miraculous, stealing without anyone noticing.
Rubbing her eyes vigorously, afraid of missing something exciting, she gently held her breath again.
After Cai Mi stole the meat, she groped around in front of the stove again, pouring some seasonings and the like into her belt before sneaking out.
Gentle quickly pressed her body against the big tree.
Seeing that no one saw it, Cai Mi smiled triumphantly, holding the piece of mutton in her hand, and strode out of the courtyard in stride.
Gentle and quietly followed.
After leaving the yard, Cai Mi didn't go to the alley that he had been to before, but went straight to a small forest.
Sitting on the ground, he touched a few branches nearby, built a simple wooden frame, carefully threaded the cut piece of mutton through a thin wooden stick, and put it on the wooden frame, then lit the firewood, lit the fire, and slowly The swaying sticks dressed in mutton.
It is the first time I have seen this kind of barbecue method. Although it is simple, the circular rotation of the wooden stick makes the lamb evenly heated, and the distance between the meat slices and the fire is just right. Only the flame tip is used for grilling, and the fat of the lamb drips. When it fell on the fire, there were bursts of crackling sounds, and the meat slices were dazzlingly bright, really tempting.
After roasting for a while, Cai Mi took off his wide belt again, and gently hid behind a tree closer to him, only then did he see clearly that Cai Mi's belt was not an ordinary cloth belt at all. There is a hidden compartment inside, and with the gentle and magical sense of smell, it can be accurately judged that it is salt, pepper, Chinese prickly ash, chili, cumin, fennel powder, anise foam, ginger powder and other seasonings in it.
At this moment, Cai Mi only pinched a pinch of salt, lightly sprinkled it on the mutton, sprinkled some cumin and chili powder in it, and started to extinguish the firewood.
It looks like it's baked!
Gently and closely staring at the fat and lean mutton, the fat is as oily as amber, and the thin reddish brown is like mahogany. In the fat and thin, the texture of the mutton is flowing smoothly, and the spices are scattered The foam stuck to it, and melted into the meat in an instant with the warmth of the firewood.
This mutton is perfect!
If you take a bite, you don't know how delicious and juicy it will be!
Gentle watched and swallowed saliva unconsciously.
Cai Mi's eyes showed a strange brilliance at this time, as if he was admiring a rare treasure, slowly full of greed.
Looking at it tenderly, there is a feeling of regret in my heart. It is a pity to eat such good meat!
"Ouch!" Just as Cai Mi was about to open his mouth to bite, he suddenly put it down again.
Probably washed the dishes all night, did not come to deal with personal matters in a hurry, and just concentrated on roasting the meat for a long time. Now that I am relaxed, I feel impatient even from my inner urgency.
Cai Mi gently put the grilled mutton back on the wooden rack, and flew into the woods as if he was flying.
Seeing that Cai Mi had just left on her front foot, Wen Rou hurried over on her back foot.
