Chapter 129 Casserole Fish Head (Fourth Update)
Dong Liu and Dong Shisan were the first two guards of the prince that Xie Yanyan had met. They also helped them with disaster relief and accompanied them all the way.
Those two men were highly skilled in martial arts and very loyal, but I didn't expect them to be gone just like that.
He said that the royal family's affairs had nothing to do with him, but the person who died was an acquaintance.
She couldn't cry, let alone laugh.
The three men did not stay long in Shanyang County. They invited the postmaster to have a meal and learned from him that the prince had been attacked in Hanguan Pass and that a number of people had been shot and killed. It was discovered that the prince was not there.
Later, they attacked all the single or escorted carriages coming from Chang'an along the way.
"The other party should know His Royal Highness the Crown Prince," the postmaster sighed. It was said that all of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's personal guards were attacked, and either died or were disabled.
Even other passers-by were attacked innocently.
The other party will do it at all costs.
Fortunately, there was no news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was captured or killed.
Xie Yanyan breathed a sigh of relief.
After they finished their meal, they never saw each other again.
We returned along the same route, and all the mood we had for sightseeing was gone.
When they passed Sha'an Village and arrived at Gucheng, it was 3 p.m. and the city gate was already closed.
Outside the city, there was a huge crowd of people, some driving horse-drawn and donkey-drawn carts, some carrying children and girls, shouting at the gates: "Why don't you let us in? We are not bandits."
The guards on the city wall did not answer and stood there like puppets.
Some people said, "Stop shouting. The gates of the cities along the way are closed. Let's go south and everything will be fine once we cross the river."
Xu Wenrong and the other two stood far away outside the city, watching this scene.
"These are people fleeing famine. Let's get out of their way..." Xu Wenrong suddenly thought of Gu Yue Temple and said, "How about we go to Gu Yue Temple to rest?"
The treasures hidden under the Solitary Moon Temple had been taken away by her, and the half-rolled parchment scroll in the old abbot's hand was the token of trust.
If she came again, someone might suspect her and it would bring danger to the abbot, so it was best not to disturb them.
Not only should you not go to Solitary Moon Temple, it’s best not to get close to Yingyue Lake.
However, she received such a huge treasure from the Solitary Moon Temple. Wouldn't it be too unkind of her not to give something back?
"Xiao Mei, can we temporarily exchange for remote movement?"
[Yes, only once a day, and must be completed within 10 minutes]
“Hot chicken!”
[……] Xiaomei’s self-confidence was completely suppressed after being called a loser so many times.
"Scan and move objects 30 miles away from the Lone Moon Temple."
[Exchange successful! Scan and move objects in Lonely Moon Temple, valid for 10 minutes]
Xie Yanyan quickly scanned the Solitary Moon Temple and found that it was not much different from before. There were still four monks, but there seemed to be more children.
The little kid she had rescued was held by his brother Xiaojie, biting his fingers with his little mouth open.
The situation inside and outside the temple was fine, and I didn't see any starving people or refugees.
She rummaged around in the space and found that the food she had originally obtained from Huangfu Ming was a lot, including 2,000 kilograms of wheat and flour, 2,000 kilograms of beans (soybeans) and corn, plus an iron bucket of unpacked vegetable oil, which was estimated to be more than 300 kilograms.
Finally, it is served with various fruits, dried black fungus, dried mushrooms, dried tofu, small biscuits for babies, etc.
I wrote another letter: Thinking of your kindness in raising orphans, I give you rice and food. I hope you will use them well.
Looking around at once, the rooms for morning classes were packed.
As a human being in this world, what we seek is a clear conscience.
The old abbot and Huiming are both kind-hearted people. If she sends these things over, they will definitely be of use to the children.
After finishing these things, time was stuck for exactly 10 minutes.
The last time they went there, they had caught mandarin fish in Yazi Lake. She said to Xu Wenrong and Xie Anfeng, "Let's camp out in Yazi Lake! How about catching some bream in the lake and setting up a stove to cook fish?"
Xie Anfeng quickly agreed, and Xu Wenrong also responded positively.
Ever since they learned in Shanyang County that Dong Liu and Dong Shisan were gone, Xie Yanyan's face had been very dull. Now that he finally came out of it, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
The lake water was a little shallower than last time. Xie Yanyan still spread the bait, and Xu Wenrong and Xie Anfeng used the scoop net to scoop up the fish.
The scoop net was exchanged with a Hu merchant in Xianyang. There is nothing wrong with it.
After catching two fish, they set up a stove by the lake and collected firewood.
"Sister, are you still going to make pickled fish?"
"No more sauerkraut."
Xu Wenrong didn't know how to eat it. No matter how you cooked the river fish, it always had a fishy smell of mud.
Pickled fish is what he considers the highest level of eating fish, so he wonders how else to eat it?
In the wild, any complicated method is not realistic, so Xie Yanyan just wants to simply burn it.
Descale the fish, kill it, clean it and cut it into pieces.
Add water starch and mix well. Add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, cooking wine, sesame oil, pepper, five-spice powder, scallion segments, minced ginger... mix well and marinate.
Slightly fry the marinated fish pieces in a frying pan and remove from the pan.
Prepare three heads of garlic, peel them, cut each clove into two pieces, cut the ginger into small pieces, and cut the onion into large pieces.
Pour oil into the pan, put ginger, onion and garlic cloves into the bottom of the pan and stir-fry until fragrant, then add a layer of mung bean sprouts, a layer of enoki mushrooms, and a layer of washed coriander, arrange the fried fish pieces one by one, and pour the marinade base sauce evenly on them.
Cover the pot, add a circle of wine around the lid, and simmer.
Remove from heat after 5 minutes and sprinkle with chives.
Xu Wenrong helped to find firewood, and Xie Anfeng lit the fire.
Fresh, unique flavor, fresh but not fishy, fatty but not greasy.
It smells so good!
So tender!
The fish in Duck Lake are big, and a big pot of garlic-roasted fish fills the field with delicious aroma.
Xie Anfeng and Xu Wenrong were drinking, and Xie Yanyan brought a bottle of iced cola.
"Yan'er, what are you drinking?"
"Sour plum soup."
"Oh, sour plum soup is good to drink in the summer, it helps to cool you down."
Xie Yanyan didn't care. After drinking half a cup of Coke, he immediately felt much better.
Sure enough, delicious food can relieve all sorrows.
"Sister, can you pour me a glass of sour plum soup?"
Xie Yanyan pushed the big bottle over.
Xu Wenrong poured himself a glass and drank it in one gulp. It was icy and refreshing, and a satisfying burp came out of his throat. He felt so comfortable that he finished the whole glass in one breath.
He smacked his lips and said in surprise, "Why does sour plum juice taste like this?"
“Yeah, this is what I made.”
[It tastes good, without the taste of sour plum. After drinking it, a burst of burp comes out, and the whole stomach feels comfortable]
Xie Yanyan ate and drank at the same time, and said calmly: "I like to make some food. Don't ask how it's made. If you're afraid it's poisonous, don't eat it."
Xu Wenrong couldn't help but laugh. He thought that as the eldest son of the Xu family, no one in Jiangnan looked down on him. He knew that his cousin was capable, but he didn't expect that she would be impressed by these strange delicacies first.
The three of them didn't bother looking for an inn, they just camped.
They had two carriages. Xie Yanyan slept in one, while Xie Anfeng and Xu Wenrong took turns sleeping in the other carriage, so they were not afraid of the dew at night.
Their carriage was tied under a big tree not far from the lake, some distance from the road, and people on the road would not notice them unless they looked carefully.
"Da Da Da"
There was a sound of horse hooves coming from afar on the official road, and someone was walking on the night road under the moon.
However, the horse rode about a hundred meters, then turned back and shouted at the side of the road: "Is that General Xie Anfeng by the lake?"
@Anhao, here I come~~~shhh
