On top of the snow blanket, Fang Shen and Qi Yue'er walked towards the mountains outside the town. Qi Yue'er had a chicken in his left hand and a duck in his right hand. There were dozens of tightly tied chickens in the bamboo basket on his back. Crabs, while Fang Shen held a whole sheep under his left arm and carried some leather and silk on his right shoulder. They both left with their loads, leaving deep footprints on the snow in the mountains.
Following the breath, the two continued walking deeper into the mountain.
The forest was secluded, and in the heavy snow, occasionally some snow rabbits would jump and run past them.
"How about we find such a quiet place and live the same secluded life in a few years?"
Qi Yue'er raised her leg and kicked his ass hard: "What are you thinking about? I haven't eaten all the delicacies of the galaxy, how can I live in seclusion? Why are you men so self-righteous and aloof?"
After walking for half an hour, the two finally arrived at their destination.
You can hear the sound of barking dogs in the distance, and when you get closer, you can see a small courtyard surrounded by bamboo railings. A lantern hangs on the wood door, and the candlelight inside is beating and burning desperately.
"It's a puppy! It's so cute!"
Qi Yue'er saw behind the firewood gate, a puppy about one foot tall, lying on the firewood gate and barking loudly. It smelled the scent of a stranger and issued a warning of demonstration - even though it was just a snow rabbit. , are not afraid of this warning voice at all.
"You, this chicken, and this sheep are all for nothing." Fang Shen smiled and pouted forward, "There is no shortage of these things at home."
But see.
In the courtyard, in a fence, there were seven or eight hens pecking at the corn kernels scattered in the snow.
Near the house, there were two big white sheep tied up, and several lambs that completely blended in with the surrounding snow. If they hadn't left a lot of footprints by jumping around, they wouldn't have been noticed at first glance. they.
"You are really ignorant." Qi Yue'er snorted, "What we bought is a big reed rooster. We raise egg-laying hens at home. Our sheep are slaughtered special sheep for barbecue. The sheep at home can continue to eat. The one who lays down the lamb.”
"oh!"
Fang Shen smiled sheepishly again.
At this time.
The door to the house opened.
A silver-haired old woman came out: "Who is it?"
Qi Yue'er patted the door with the hand holding the big rooster: "Mom, it's me! I and I are here to bring you new year's goods!"
The silver-haired old woman smiled brightly, with more wrinkles on her face: "Ah, Yue'er actually remembered to celebrate the New Year for me, it's really not easy! The door is not closed at all, it opens as soon as I push it."
Fang Shen quickly pushed the door open and looked at the silver-haired old woman in astonishment: "You are... Why are you like this? Is there something wrong with your cultivation?"
The last time I saw Qin Susu, she was still a gorgeous beauty.
Why did she become a silver-haired old woman this time
Qi Yue'er's face darkened: "I say you are a fool, but you are really a fool! My mother became like this in order to better integrate into the town here, otherwise there would be a great beauty living in the mountains. How much trouble is there? You really think that my mother is in decline!"
"this… "
Fang Shen turned into a big red face again.
"Hahaha! Yue'er, stop making fun of Fang Shen all the time!"
There was a burst of hearty laughter, but it didn't come from the courtyard, but from outside.
But it was a silver-haired old man wearing a leather hood who walked over despite the wind and snow: "Come back as soon as you come back. I brought so many things with you. But it just so happens that I just learned the art of making spicy crabs recently. Come and cook all these crabs with me later!"
Qi Yue'er turned around with a smile on her face: "Ah, dad, these crabs are all strong and strong, they are really majestic! I think they are all so beautiful, I wonder if they can be eaten boiled, steamed, or fried. I bought a lot of them. People in the town said that they were all fished out of the ice in the river, and they are all very fat!"
"Haha, very good, very good!"
The silver-haired old man took off the bamboo basket from Qi Yue'er's back and picked up the crabs inside with a smile.
Qin Susu smiled and said: "Don't stand here, come to the house quickly! Fang Shen, you and Qi Ying have packed away the sheep, crabs, chickens and ducks, and Yue'er and I have just packed up the leather materials you brought. and silk to make new clothes!”
"okay!"
The group of people quickly became busy.
Qi Ying took a hatchet, cut the sheep into eight pieces, took firewood and lit a fire in the yard, set up an iron frame, covered it with a net, and threw all the mutton on it.
While applying the sauce, he told Fang Shen: "When I was a hunter, I always thought that charcoal-grilled animal meat would taste delicious if I added some seasonings. Later I discovered this 'BBQ sauce', which is It’s so delicious, I stocked up a lot last time, hey, this time a whole lamb is made into a BBQ, we’re in for a treat!”
His eyes turned to the two chickens and ducks again.
"This chicken, you wrap it in yellow mud and throw it into the fire below, and we'll make it into a beggar's chicken. The duck's feathers will be plucked and bled, and I'll make a duck blood vermicelli soup later."
"good!"
Fang Shen responded and went to deal with the chickens and ducks.
Qi Ying geared up, threw all the dozens of crabs into the big basin, and took out a jar of wine and poured it into the big basin: "I'll get you drunk first, and then I'll send you on your way. At this time, it's better to make spicy crabs." It’s the most delicious, but unfortunately I don’t have the best chili here, so I can only use inferior ones instead.”
Suddenly he remembered something again and shouted to Fang Shen from a distance: "Don't throw away the duck after bleeding it. Coat the remaining duck with starch. Take the eggs from the chicken coop over there, beat four eggs and mix them into eggs." liquid, and then coat the duck with starch. Find your mother-in-law in the house, take out the bread crumbs, wrap it in bread crumbs, put it in the big pot in the east kitchen and fry it until the whole duck turns golden. Hehe, I guess the tiger on the mountain next door They all have to cry with greed!"
Fang Shen's face was full of dark lines - Where did my father-in-law learn this from? Do you know the same thing
But he still followed Qi Ying's words and did it step by step.
When night fell, the wind and snow stopped, and the family set up tables and chairs in the courtyard, roasting whole lamb, duck blood vermicelli soup, spicy crab, fried duck, beggar's chicken, and Some home-cooked cold dishes were placed on it.
Qi Yue'er closed her eyes and took a deep breath: "Ah, smelling these smells, I know that the food on the table is all delicacies in the world! I think it is even more delicious than the food in the best restaurants in the galaxy. Countless times!"
