Chapter 83 The prince next door is crying with greed
The prince's carriage stopped for half an hour. Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Yanyan caught a bucket of fish. Several carriages of King Xi were parked not far behind, and no one got out of the carriage.
Behind them was a group of people wearing Taoist robes and Taoist hats, also riding in horse-drawn carriages. There were hundreds of them in the group.
There is another group behind them, but I don’t know who they are.
The prince rested for a while and then set off again.
When they arrived outside Gucheng, the Crown Prince, Prince Xi and their entourage were welcomed into the county governor's office, while the other locust-control workers stayed in the inn on their own.
The county magistrate arranged for all officials to meet the crown prince and King Xi. Zhou Shaoyu was too lazy to deal with these people, so he said to Xie Yanyan: "We will cook and play by ourselves. After dinner, we will go to the night market in Gucheng."
"The prince is here, and we're still opening a night market?"
"Some shops are open, and lanterns are hung out to welcome the prince. We can have some fun on our own." Zhou Shaoyu asked Xie Yanyan, "How do you ride a horse?"
"Well enough."
Zhou Shaoyu immediately became excited: "Then let's go to Guyue Temple tonight, do you want to go?"
"Will the prince not be on his way early tomorrow morning?"
Zhou Shaoyu said that it only took half an hour to go back and forth at night, and riding a horse was very fast.
Xie Yanyan said: "Then let's eat quickly, let's go after eating?"
Zhou Shaoyu said happily, "It's settled."
Turning around, he saw the puzzled faces of Xie Anfeng and Xu Wenrong. Zhou Shaoyu smiled and explained, "It's too lonely and boring to ride in the car every day. I want to take Miss Xie out for some fun."
Xie Anfeng said in a low voice: "I will go with you."
Xu Wenrong said, "Uncle, just take a rest. I'll go."
"I don't know what I'll encounter when I go out at night. I can help."
"Uncle, I can also ride a horse and kill the enemy."
"Master Xu, please go with us." Zhou Shaoyu said heartlessly, "Me, Zhou Jin, and Master Xu are enough to protect Miss Xie."
Xie Anfeng reminded: "There are many people coming to Gucheng, and there are many martial arts masters. Be careful."
"It's okay. I can protect myself."
Xie Yanyan was really bored sitting in the car these days, and he also wanted to see what was so special about the temple 2,000 years ago.
Xie Anfeng was helpless seeing that she insisted on going.
Zhou Shaoyu said excitedly: "I heard that the Lonely Moon Temple is the most beautiful at night. It is said that when the moonlight comes out, people with predestined relationships can see the fairyland."
Xu Wenrong smiled and said, "Those are all legends."
Zhou Shaoyu greeted the prince and told them to eat dinner by themselves, as it would be uncomfortable if they did not mix with a bunch of officials. When the prince heard that it was Xie Yanyan who asked Zhou Shaoyu to come for instructions, he nodded in agreement reluctantly.
"I want to eat sausage rice. Can you make sausage rice?"
Zhou Shaoyu had been thinking about sausage rice, and Zhou Jin immediately nodded frantically, yes, sausage rice is good!
Xu Wenrong pointed at the fish in the net and said, "What should we do with these fish? It's too hot to keep them."
"Sour fish." Xie Yanyan wanted to eat sour fish.
After eating the pickled fish, Xie Anfeng smiled on his dark and thin face: "Let's do it, Yan'er, just give the orders."
When the ingredients for the Chinese sausage rice were brought out, Zhou Shaoyu said actively, "Leave this job to me, you guys go do the other things."
Xu Wenrong smiled and said, "Your Highness can also cook?"
"Yes! I saw Miss Xie do it, so just hold it."
[Xu came from a nest of counselors, so we can’t let them see the food]
[Mr. Xu has tens of thousands of tricks up his sleeve. Who knows if he will do anything bad to Miss Xie?]
"Cousin, can you help my dad fillet the fish?"
Xu Wenrong was assigned a job by Xie Yanyan. He felt a little confused. He looked at Zhou Shaoyu for a few times, smiled, and started to fillet the fish with a knife.
[The prince must be hiding something]
[He and his cousin are cheating on each other? ]
[The prince seems to be carefree, but he never suffers any loss. He is definitely not simple]
Xie Yanyan:
They all have a lot of ideas!
Borrowing the government office's kitchen, several people made sauerkraut fish with all the mandarin fish caught today.
Zhou Shaoyu wanted to eat sausage rice, so he made another pot of sausage rice in a small pot.
The sauerkraut fish was simmering, and the aroma spread from the kitchen to the entire government yard. The prince became distracted from chatting with the officials.
What's the dish? Why does it smell so good?
Xie Yanyan basically prepared the ingredients by herself, and the men didn't care that much about eating, so when the pickled fish came out, Xu Wenrong looked around the chopping board and the stove for several times, but didn't see anything unusual.
Apart from sauerkraut, there seemed to be only a pot of chili peppers.
As the sun sets, in the restaurant next to the government office, there are two full pots of pickled fish on a large dining table. The taste alone is enough to make you unable to stop.
Several people couldn't wait to put some pickled fish fillets into their mouths. The aroma went straight into their heads and made them intoxicated. The sour and refreshing taste blended well with the delicious fish meat, and they couldn't stop eating it once they started.
"It's so delicious. Miss Xie, how did you come up with this idea?" Zhou Jin wanted to get into the sauerkraut fish bowl, roll up his trouser legs and sit in the bowl, eating with both hands and with relish.
"It's really delicious. Eating fish this way doesn't have any fishy smell. It's fresh, tender and smooth. It's a delicacy."
Paired with the crystal clear Wuchang rice, it will make your tongue almost go down your throat.
Xie Yanyan said to Zhou Shaoyu, "My Lord, there are two backpacks on the back of my carriage. Take out a melon from the one covered with straw."
Zhou Shaoyu stood up swiftly and walked to the back of Xie Yanyan's carriage. Sure enough, he saw two wicker baskets embedded in the railings. He lifted the dry grass on top to reveal green, round, oval objects. They looked like pillows?
Is this a melon?
Summer melon (now winter melon)?
He picked up one, and it was heavy, about 30 kilograms. He held the melon in one hand and covered it with hay with the other.
"The melon is coming."
"Wash the surface with water and put it on the chopping board." Xie Yanyan instructed, pointing at the kitchen knife, "Cut it into pieces."
It was a watermelon, which she had just taken out of her space. It was still chilly inside.
"Eating pickled fish may cause you to get a sore throat, and this melon is a good match for you to relieve heat," she explained.
Sweet, watery and cool, served with pickled fish...
Even Xu Wenrong was thinking: Fortunately I wasn’t with the prince just now. I’m afraid the prince hasn’t seen it either?
[What is Yan'er's origin?]
[How come she has so many rare things? ]
Xie Yanyan raised her eyes and glanced at him gently. Xu Wenrong was immediately startled, then smiled and said nothing. Just eat melon!
Several people were eating enthusiastically when Dong Liu and Dong Shisan came over with plates in their hands and said with a smile, "Ah, Prince Zhou, Miss Xie, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is having a meal and he thinks these dishes taste good, so he specially gave them to you all to eat with."
Zhou Shaoyu said with a smile: "Put it down, you go back and tell the prince that we have enough to eat, thank you, Your Highness."
Dong Liu and Dong Shisan put their dishes down but didn't leave. They were almost dying of hunger just by smelling the pickled fish they were eating.
They were eating heartily here, and the prince, who was in front, was almost crying with greed when he smelled the aroma of pickled fish and sausage rice.
Darlings, starting tomorrow, many plots will be called back! ! For example, seeing Xie Xiangxiang again, the sheepskin scroll that the man in black stuffed into her in the suburbs of Beijing, and why the thief keeps visiting her. Are you looking forward to it?
