The Qi family's carriage was filled with the master and disciple's laughter.
Inside Qin Yao's carriage, the angry Qi Xianguan was staring at the Dalang siblings.
The four siblings wanted to call someone, but they didn't know what to call.
Master Qi?
Brother Qi?
Or should I call him Uncle Qi?
Erlang took a deep breath. Someone had to break the awkward atmosphere.
"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?" Erlang asked while winking at the twins.
Sanlang and Si Niang tacitly took out the food they had secretly brought with them and placed it on the small low table in the carriage.
The cloth towel was spread out, revealing a yellow-skinned mooncake with red bean paste filling and a small bag of spicy crabs, both made by Awang. Sanlang couldn't help but quickly picked up a crab and put it in his mouth. Chew it, and it was crunchy!
Qi Xianguan couldn't help swallowing his saliva and asked curiously, "What kind of crab is this? I've never seen such a small one."
Si Niang looked at him in shock, "You haven't even seen a little crab?"
Qi Xianguan shook his head. He was still shocked that there were such small crabs in the world.
The boy stretched out his hand and gestured on the table, "The smallest crab I've ever eaten was this big."
Sanlang stretched out his little hand, which was exactly the size of his palm. The little guy widened his eyes in surprise.
The four siblings looked at each other, and Dalang asked curiously, "How big is the biggest one you have ever eaten?"
Qi Xianguan smiled faintly and pointed at the low table in the car, "The crabs that can cover this table are sent from the North Sea."
"But the taste is just so-so, not as good as the chicken stewed with Matsutake mushrooms." The disgust in Qi Xiangguan's eyes was so obvious, and he looked disgusted.
The four siblings immediately frowned and let out a disgusted sound as if they felt the same way: "Eh~"
Erlang said, "Then try our crabs and see if they are delicious."
Qi Xianguan looked hesitantly at the mooncakes and fried crabs spread on the cloth. His fingers moved uncomfortably, but he finally couldn't resist the temptation of the spicy taste. He grabbed two with his hands, covered his face with his sleeves, and put them into his mouth to taste.
The crabs are small and meatless, but their shells are tender and fried in hot oil to make them crispy and tasty.
Then add Awang’s special spicy seasoning and mix well. It tastes fresh and spicy. You can’t help but salivate in your mouth when you first put it in your mouth. Then a slightly burning spicy taste comes out and mixes with the crispy tender shell. The taste is very rich. After one bite, you will want to have another bite!
"Delicious, right?" Glancing at Qi Xianguan's eyes that lit up, Si Niang said proudly, "These are the crabs that my brothers and I caught with a cage. We don't want the big ones, only the smallest ones."
Dalang pushed the mooncake towards Qi Xiangun and said, "This is also the mooncake we made ourselves. It smells very good."
Qi Xiangun first answered that the crabs were delicious, nodded slightly in response to Dalang, then grabbed the mooncake with his hand, took a light bite to taste it first, but did not hold out much hope.
Because he has been disappointed too many times.
He often ate cakes and pastries from the largest restaurant in the capital, eating three or four pieces every day. But ever since he followed his great-grandfather's wishes and came to the ancestral land of Zijing Mansion, he could no longer find such delicious snacks.
Shitou found seven or eight chefs for him, but none of them could make the food he wanted.
After that, we would occasionally eat together, just to save other people's face.
But what surprised Qi Xianguan was that this light bite of the pancake crust actually made him feel like he was back in the capital.
However, as soon as I got the mooncake in my hand, I could smell the oily fragrance, which was a bit greasy. But when I put it in my mouth, the taste was unexpectedly refreshing.
After a tiring journey by boat and in order to arrive at Liujia Village smoothly today, Qi Xianguan only had breakfast and had not eaten anything for lunch. The two crabs' crusts whetted his appetite.
He looked up at the four Liu brothers and sisters in front of him, and seeing their excited expressions saying "eat quickly", he stopped being polite and took a big bite of the mooncake.
The mooncakes with red bean paste filling have just the right sweetness, not greasy nor too bland. Mixed with the aroma of oil on the skin, it actually makes people more appetizing.
However, eating too much sweet and soft pastries would always make you feel sick. At this time, Qi Xianguan felt that the spicy crabs were a perfect match.
Seeing how deliciously the immortal official ate, Dalang and his two sisters felt very satisfied and asked him with a smile if he wanted some water.
Coincidentally, the location of the mountain spring water that Liu Ji strongly recommended to the teacher had arrived.
When the guards stopped the carriage, Dalang jumped off the carriage nimbly, took the gourd handed to him by his sister, walked to the inner side of the road, pushed aside the grass and got in.
It turned out that there was a small cave in the grass, with a small spring in the cave, so clear that you could see the bottom.
Dalang pushed aside the fallen leaves on the water, filled a pot with spring water, came to the carriage and handed it to Qi Xiangguan.
Liu Ji's movements were exactly the same, but after drinking two sips of wine, his steps seemed a little unsteady. Fortunately, the cave was very small, so there was no need to worry about him falling into the spring.
In the Qi family carriage, Gong Liangliao's surprised voice rang out, "Sweet and delicious!"
He also told Liu Ji, "I want this spring water to make tea for me!"
Liu Ji agreed immediately. After all, it would only take less than two quarters of an hour to go back and forth on horseback to fetch water. As long as he could please the teacher, it would be fine if he got up two quarters of an hour earlier!
After eating the delicious food, Qi Xianguan's irritable mood finally improved. He and Dalang and his sister leaned against the car window, looking at the scenery while listening to Dalang introduce what animals there were in the mountains.
Seeing that Dalang knew the situation in the mountains very well, as if he had been there personally, Qi Xianguan asked him curiously:
"Zi Wang, how do you know so much?"
When he mentioned this, Dalang couldn't help but puff out his chest with pride and said, "Last year, Aunt Yao took me into the mountains to hunt. We stayed in the mountains for seven or eight days together. I saw all the ferocious beasts in the mountains."
At this point, Erlang and Sanlang also became excited and added: "My eldest brother also kept a tiger head!"
Qi Xianguan took a breath in surprise, "Really?"
Then, the four brothers and sisters told him the story of how their mother had killed the spotted tiger with one knife last year.
After listening to this, Qi Xianguan suddenly felt that the mountains in the countryside had become a little more dangerous and exciting!
Then I thought about how long my teacher and I would stay here. Maybe we could meet Lady Qin on her next autumn hunt? I couldn't help but feel a little excited about the days ahead.
A group of people passed by the gate of the stationery factory and slowly drove into Liujia Village, causing quite a commotion in the village.
But when he saw the guards of the Qi family riding on tall horses and carrying long swords, he kept away from them.
When the villagers saw Qin Yao's carriage among them, and that it was leading the group home, they all felt incredible.
The village chief, clan leader and Liu Dafu, who had already known the news, looked at each other and hesitated whether to go over to greet them.
Finally, I decided to go ahead so as not to make people feel that I was being impolite.
However, as soon as he arrived at the door of Qin Yao's house, he saw guards standing on both sides, holding long swords and with stern faces.
