Wow, there are a lot of horses slumped over, not a lot of them, but they are all big ones.
Roe deer, musk deer, wild deer, wild boars, and even foxes and a wolf.
Can you eat wolf meat? Aren't you afraid of getting rabies?
There was something bulging in Prince Duan's arms, and Qin Qingyao knew without a doubt that it was a little wolf that had just turned one month old.
The dead wolf was its mother.
She forgot who shot her to death, but Lin Xiafeng condemned the man's cruelty at the time, so she raised the motherless little wolf by herself.
Lin Xiafeng did not go hunting this time, but the little wolf cub and his mother still could not escape the disaster. Who told it to be as obedient as a dog from then on? It is a big plus for the heroine's strength.
Ironically, after the fur of the female wolf was made, it was given to Lin Xiafeng by Ling Jingxuan this winter to be used as a foot warmer.
When Lin Xiafeng held the little wolf and stepped on its mother's fur, he didn't know what he was feeling...
Prince Duan looked at the rabbits, chicks and two large wooden barrels placed on the ground in the yard, and handed the deer on the horse's back to him.
"King Wu Ling is not able to hunt, and I don't want you to go hunting in vain. I'll give this deer to you and the princess to try."
Dugu Yu’s first reaction was what Qin Qingyao said, that their family couldn’t eat venison, so he had no intention of accepting it.
He bowed to Prince Duan and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Prince Duan, but we have too many things and I'm afraid we can't take them all, so we don't want them."
Qin Qingyao gave Dugu Yu an admiring look from a distance. He was indeed her man, but he couldn't take Ling Jingxuan's things.
Everyone looked at the rabbits, young chickens, fish, and a bucket of inedible crabs scattered across the floor. What was King Wu Ling up to? If they hadn't been so cowardly, they would have laughed at him.
Isn't it embarrassing to come out specially and bring these things back?
Dugu Yu really didn't feel ashamed, because in his eyes, there was no difference between catching a rabbit and killing a tiger, except that the latter was not easy to take away.
Only those fools who have not accomplished anything would think that killing a few foxes and wolves can prove how brave and powerful they are.
Lu Qifeng acted like a little follower, moving all the belongings of King Wu Ling and his wife onto the carriage borrowed from the manor.
Then the three of them left first.
In addition to Dugu Yu and Qin Qingyao, their carriage also carried a living creature, the super-large crab that Dugu Yu caught.
Dugu Yi thought that this girl wanted to keep the big crab as a pet, and somehow he felt very happy.
They went to Qin's house first and put down eight rabbits, eight chicks and eight fish. As for crabs, they would not eat them and it would be a waste to give them to them.
They declined the Qin family's dinner and went to the Yang family.
He also left eight rabbits, eight chicks, and eight fish for the Yang family.
After finishing, they finally returned to the palace and could cook and eat!
Qin Qingyao personally went into the kitchen and made two servings of crabs, four steamed and four spicy ones.
Steaming basically does not require any worry. By the time she has finished making the spicy crab, the six dishes and two soups in the kitchen, including a chicken, rabbit and fish soup made with the ingredients they brought back, are all ready.
After the food was served, the first thing Dugu Yu saw was the particularly large and familiar crab on the plate of steamed crabs.
It turns out that this woman has been holding it, not to keep it, but to make it herself?
Qin Qingyao was extremely excited and was skipping as she walked. When she reached the table, she naturally squeezed into Dugu Yu's arms and sat down.
"Honey, let me teach you how to eat crabs. Baizhi, go get me two clean wet towels so I can wipe my hands later."
Qin Qingyao took the largest crab, which had just been steamed and was still hot. She moved it from the plate to a small dish, and she was so hot that she shook her hands off it and gasped for a long time.
Dugu Yu saw that his fingers were burned red, but he didn't say anything and his expression was a little serious.
Although it was hot, Qin Qingyao still blew on her hands while opening the crab shell. The orange crab roe inside was steaming, and a fresh fragrance came to her face.
"Wow, that's great!"
Qin Qingyao picked up the crab roe with chopsticks and turned to hand it to Dugu Yu's mouth.
Dugu Yu frowned. Can this thing be eaten?
"Husband, please try it. It's delicious. Trust me!"
Dugu Yu opened his mouth and ate the crab roe with his chopsticks.
It doesn't have much flavor, it's very fresh and seems a little sweet.
Qin Qingyao picked up another piece of food with chopsticks, put it in her mouth and nodded vigorously, "Mm, delicious!"
Without any tools to peel the crabs, she used the crab legs to pick out the crab roe and crab meat from the edges and corners, which made Dugu Yu very upset.
"If it's that difficult, don't eat it. Try another one."
"How can that be? There's so much meat left and you're just throwing it away. That's disrespectful to food!"
Respect food too...
"Since I've steamed it, I have to eat it thoroughly to show my appreciation for its hard work in growing it! If I were a crab, I'd love to hear people praise my deliciousness!"
Dugu Yu: “…”
No one knew when the half-broken crab in Qin Qingyao's hand came into Dugu Yu's hand. Because Qin Qingyao was in her arms, he put his arms around her, leaned forward slightly, and rested his head on the side of her neck.
Although they were not very close, Qin Qingyao could clearly hear his steady and regular breathing.
Dugu Yu was strong and precise, and he quickly removed all the crab meat that Qin Qingyao wanted to pick. Then Qin Qingyao handed him eight crab legs and said, "Husband, the crab leg meat is delicious. Please help me get it out."
Dugu Yu: “…”
After everything was done according to Qin Qingyao's requirements, Dugu Yu discovered that the thing he thought was inedible actually had so much meat on it. He took off a small pile of it and put it on Qin Qingyao's small plate.
It's just that it doesn't look very pretty.
Qin Qingyao used a spoon to scoop half a spoonful from the small pile, which was yellow and meaty, and handed it to Dugu Yu's mouth, "Come here, my husband, taste the fruits of our labor!"
Dugu Yu ate it without any resistance this time, and it seemed really delicious.
“Is it delicious? Is it delicious?”
"Um."
Dugu Yu hummed, and Qin Qingyao was overjoyed. Then he picked up half a spicy crab and said, "My husband, try this."
Dugu Yu didn't taste it. He just picked apart the crab roe, crab meat and crab legs as he did before, and got his hands covered in oil.
Then he wiped his hands and opened his mouth to take the food in Qin Qingyao's spoon.
It has a slightly spicy taste, is very fragrant, and has a moderate saltiness. It is very appetizing to eat. I really can't believe that this thing could be made by this girl.
"tasty!"
"Of course!"
The two of them ate two steamed ones and two spicy ones, and then gave the remaining four to the four maids next to them.
"See how we managed to eat it just now. Don't eat the heart, stomach, intestines, and gills, but everything else is fine. You can try it!"
"Thank you, Princess!"
This is a dish made by the princess herself. Although the ingredients look a bit scary, the prince and princess enjoyed it very much. They had been drooling over it for a long time.
Although the prince's expression seemed a little stiff when he took the crabs away, hasn't he always been like this? They must be overthinking it, haha.
The couple finished their meal happily, and the servants brought them two bowls of ginger tea.
Qin Qingyao watched Dugu Yu finish his drink and said, "Crabs are cold, drink a cup of ginger tea to warm you up after eating!"
When lying in bed at night, Qin Qingyao was still excited.
"Husband, I was walking around the streets today and noticed that they don't celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival here."
"What is Mid-Autumn Festival?"
"It's the crab festival. Every year on August 15th, the crabs are at their plumpest and can be eaten. At other times, they won't taste good because they won't have roe or crab roe."
Dugu Yu: “…”
This must have been made up on the spot by this greedy woman. There is no such thing as a crab-eating festival!
He saw the big red paper at the foot of the bed and remembered what he said yesterday, that he would memorize the family rules when he came back. Although Qin Qingyao didn't know he had said those words, he was a man of integrity, so he memorized them silently.
One of them is to remember the statutory holidays and the anniversary of Qin Qingyao. For her, eating crabs is also a festival, so remember it.
Dugu Yu got up early because he didn't have to go to court, but Qin Qingyao didn't know that.
After he woke up, when he moved his chin from above her head, he saw that Qin Qingyao showed signs of waking up. As if by reflex, he said, "I'm going to court."
Qin Qingyao didn't wake up...
Dugu Yu sat on the bed and looked at her, then reached out and poked her face, "Hey, I'm going to court."
"Um?"
Qin Qingyao was too excited last night and couldn't fall asleep for a long time. Now she was very sleepy. She reached out and tried to grab the person twice, but failed. When she was about to stop, Dugu Yu lay down beside her.
She hooked her arms around Dugu Yu's neck and kissed him on the lips very perfunctorily.
"Goodbye, husband~"
Dugu Yu: “…”
What does he worship?
I was angry, but when I thought about the softness on my lips just now, I didn’t feel too angry.
He lay back on the bed, looking at Qin Qingyao's defenseless sleeping face, and as if possessed by a ghost, he imitated her and kissed her on the face.
He just pressed it lightly, without any sound and definitely without leaving any trace.
Qin Qingyao didn't notice anything, but Dugu Yu blushed and his heart beat fast. He moved slowly and gently, for fear of waking her up and getting caught.
Finally, he got out of bed like a thief, without even wearing shoes, and went to the cloakroom to change clothes barefoot.
He pressed his heart hard in front of the wardrobe, as if pressing it twice would stop it from beating so happily.
This completely unfamiliar and strange feeling made him panic and fearful. He dared not breathe hard, and beads of sweat began to seep out of his forehead.
But why not hate it?
Dugu Yu went to the study and quickly processed the documents sent from the military camp in the past two days. Although the emperor gave him leave, as a general, he would never be able to have nothing to do.
After finishing the work, I saw that it was almost time, so I changed into court clothes and went out.
The housekeeper and the doorman, "..."
Hasn't the prince been attending court these past few days? Court is about to end at this hour, so why is he going out in court robes?
After Qin Qingyao got up, she collected the young chicken feathers she brought back from the manor, picked out a few of the longest and best-looking ones, and put them in a thin vase. They looked really beautiful.
