Chapter 127: Get out of the way, shorty!
Xiangying first took out a few nets from the space and made a few net bags.
Crayfish are not easy to catch, as some of them like to sink into the mud.
But it doesn’t matter, she has little guy Xiang Yuanlang, so she is not afraid of not being able to attract animals.
She carried the bag and brought the three little ones, Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi to the river.
The skinny monkey was afraid that they would go far away, so he sent two people to follow them.
The bag was thrown into the water, and Xiangying pulled Xiang Yuanlang to squat by the river.
"Erzai, face the water and call out to the crayfish more often. Whether we can eat them tonight depends on you."
Xiang Yuanlang frowned: "I'll try."
He picked up a fallen leaf from the ground, held it under his lips with one hand and blew it, and put the other hand into the water.
The river was quite deep, so Xiangying couldn't see if any crayfish had gone in.
The family waited patiently for a while, and Xiang Yuanlang was also tired: "Pick it up and have a look."
Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi worked together to pull the net up, and the water receded, revealing the red color crowded in the net.
A bright smile appeared in Xiangying's phoenix eyes.
"Erzai, you are awesome! Look, there are so many crayfish, small fish fry and river crabs. Let's have spicy hotpot tonight!"
As she spoke, she kissed Yuanlang on the cheek.
The little guy was not used to her intimate actions. He pushed her away with his little hands and wiped his face as if in disgust.
He pretended to be displeased: "Don't kiss me next time. Even if you want to kiss me, tell me first."
Xiang Yuanxiao glanced at him and pouted angrily: "I won't eat it. The locals say it's poisonous."
Xiangying patted his head and said, "Just wait until mom washes it clean. It's just that they won't eat it."
She took Taoxue and the others carrying crayfish back to the post station, attracting a lot of people's attention.
Shufei and Xiang Qianqian sat together, along with several other palace concubines.
They were holding the steamed buns that the military supervisor had just distributed and were finding them too hard to chew when they looked up and saw Xiangying coming back with a bag full of river fish.
"What was that she grabbed?"
"Is it the poisonous shrimp that the local government mentioned? It's bright red. She is really brave. Isn't she afraid of death?"
"How ignorant!" Xiang Qianqian gritted her teeth as she recalled the wound on her forehead that had not yet healed, "She deserved it for killing herself."
Xiangying returned to the room in the post station and arranged for Qi Fengyi and others to go outside to set up the pot.
She was alone so she could get into the space.
First, several crayfish samples were randomly selected for dissection and placed under the ultrasecond microscope in the medical room for observation.
There are no viruses, and the water is even cleaner, much better than when she was there.
As for why the government said that eating this thing would cause death, Xiangying guessed there was another reason.
After making sure that they were non-toxic, Xiangying called Taoxue and the Seventh Princess for help. They cleaned the crayfish one by one and then cut off their heads.
Finally, she walked out of the inn carrying chopped onions, ginger, garlic, fresh chili peppers and soybean paste.
In the open space, Qi Fengyi had already set up the pot and heated up the oil.
Everyone gathered around and watched Xiangying throw in the green onions, ginger and garlic to stir-fry them.
As the aroma of fresh peppers and soybean paste burst forth, many people's stomachs began to rumble in unison.
It smells so good... How can someone fry poisonous shrimps so well?
Xiang Qianqian looked at him coldly: "He is just like a savage, he dares to eat anything."
Hundreds of crayfish and river crabs were thrown in and stir-fried. When Xiangying added water, he quietly poured in half a pot of liquor that had been stored in the space.
That strong liquor was stockpiled during a drinking contest in Lu Feiyi's village.
The crayfish with wine added suddenly became more fragrant, and the smell could not be concealed even with a lid.
Lu Feiyi and his brothers sat nearby to rest. When they smelled this smell, they couldn't help but sigh -
"It smells so good. I vaguely seem to smell the strong liquor that Aunt Jiu used to brew in our village."
"Oh, I really want to drink it, but I don't know if I will have the chance in this life."
As they shook their heads and sighed, Lu Feiyi's eyes were always fixed in Xiangying's direction.
The firelight flickered, and his eyes became mysterious.
Xiangying also set up a wooden board to knead the noodles. He added fresh flour, eggs and salt, and after the dough had risen, he could knead it into noodles.
She opened the lid and spread the noodles evenly on the crayfish. Finally, she waited for the sauce to collect and the noodles to be cooked.
"Boys, bring your bowls, it's time to eat!" Xiangying shouted, and the three little ones all brought out their bowls.
They couldn't hold it in any longer and were drooling at the smell they just had.
Each person had a bowl of spicy crayfish noodles. Xiangying prepared water bags for them in advance in case the children found it too spicy.
It was filled with her specially prepared jasmine sweet milk and some crushed ice.
On a summer night like this, eating crayfish, looking up at the starry sky, and drinking some icy cold milky sweet drink, it is so refreshing!
The children held their bowls and sat aside to eat obediently.
Xiangying then divided it among Lin Lingxiang, Xiangli, Taoxue and Qi Fengyi.
Because she had prepared a lot, she asked the Seventh Princess Xiang Rongrong and Concubine Yu to come over.
Xiangying left a bowl for herself, and used the remaining soup to add a handful of noodles and a few eggs.
She raised her hand and called to Lu Feiyi and the others: "This pot of noodles is for you. There are no extra bowls. Ask them to pick leaves nearby, wash them and then eat."
Lu Feiyi was surprised: "We have it too?"
Under the moonlight, Xiangying's black hair was tied up, with two strands falling on her fair cheeks, making her smile look even more graceful.
"Brothers, we have everything, but I'm afraid there won't be enough to eat, so I didn't prepare much."
Lu Feiyi seemed moved: "It's good enough for us to have a share."
He called the pirates over to thank Xiangying, and the thunderous shouts of "Thank you, boss" made Xiangying's ears numb.
She waved her hand: "Okay, eat quickly."
Soon, with Xiangying as the center, the sound of slurping noodles could be heard one after another.
I don’t know who was eating and crying: “It smells so good, it smells so good that it even smells like my grandma’s house!”
The group of exiled prisoners at the very edge could only watch helplessly.
Among them were Xiang Qianqian and Shufei, and even Zhao Bingyang's family were stunned.
Xiangying was eating spicy noodles with thick sauce, which looked delicious.
Looking at the dry steamed buns in their hands, they are simply tasteless.
Xiangying picked up the bowl that had been left alone and walked towards them.
Zhao Bingyang immediately sat up straight, his back straight and his head raised.
He knew that Xiangying was so obsessed with him, how could he really be cruel to him?
If she asked him to taste the bowl of noodles she made, then he could be merciful enough to say a few words to her.
As expected, Xiangying walked up to him.
Zhao Bingyang pretended to be cold: "I'm telling you, you don't have to say it, I won't eat your food, just give up."
Xiangying frowned: "Why are you here again, short and fat? Get out of the way now."
Zhao Bingyang was stunned and was pushed away by Xiangying.
When he just stood firm, he looked back and saw Xiangying actually walking towards Lord Chu's family behind him!
"Master Chu, I'm treating you to this bowl, please try it."
Xiangying smiled.
Zhao Bingyang couldn't believe his eyes.
Instead of trying to please him, she tried to please a minister who was nearly fifty years old?
Besides, what right did she have to call him short? How was he short?
