That evening, Murong Shu asked the housekeeper to help prepare the ingredients and tools needed for the next day's trip. The next day, he said goodbye to his mother and went out with his group.
Shan Gu Taoist refused this trip as he wanted to go to Huishan again to meet his good friend.
Third Uncle and the senior brothers were all very happy. Seeing that Murong Shu had asked people to bring so many things, they all helped very enthusiastically.
"Junior sister Shu'er, what do you want to eat? The senior brothers will prepare it for you." Everyone already knew that they were going to have an outing to Xishan today, and the senior brothers were eager to try it. They thought that Xishan was like Tianmen Mountain and had everything.
"When we get to Xishan, you brothers will know the uses of the things Shu'er brought. As for the food, Shu'er doesn't bring much. You brothers will have to rely on local ingredients. Otherwise, you will go hungry."
Murong Shu knew the abilities of his senior brothers, and he said that deliberately to joke with them.
"Don't worry, Junior Sister Shu'er. I'll show you how powerful our senior brothers are."
"Go ahead and brag. If you can't hit them later, don't say we are from Tianmen Mountain." Third Uncle Master watched the disciples chattering around Murong Shu, afraid to disturb the little girl's peace.
"Third uncle, you have to compete with us brothers later." The third brother, who likes to watch the fun and enjoy the trouble, deliberately provoked the third uncle. In fact, he wanted the third uncle to move as well.
"Don't even think about being lazy. Go hunting properly in the West Mountain, otherwise you won't even have lunch." Third Uncle would not be fooled.
"Uncle Third Master, you have worked hard every day. Today, let us brothers and sisters show our filial piety to you." Murong Shu likes Uncle Third Master very much. Not only did he prepare fine wine today, he also planned to cook delicious food for Uncle Third Master himself later.
"Yueyue is going hunting, and Third Uncle and Senior Sister are going to rest. Senior Sister doesn't know martial arts and will get hurt." Yueyue was reluctant to let her senior sister suffer.
"This little girl is really thoughtful." Third Uncle was very happy to be coaxed by Yueyue and Murong Shu.
The group walked towards Xishan Mountain, and after about an hour, they arrived at Xishan Mountain.
After getting off the carriage, Murong Shu first chose a suitable place for barbecue, and asked her senior brothers to help move the things from the carriage and put them in the place she chose.
Except for Third Uncle, everyone else was arranged to go out hunting.
"Xiao Shu'er, you really didn't bring any food and are just waiting for them to hunt? Will we starve to death?" When the Third Uncle saw that Murong Shu really didn't bring any food, he joked with Murong Shu.
"Uncle Third, please come and help us. Our brothers will be back soon and we won't be able to handle it." Murong Shu took out a bunch of bottles and jars, which would be used to make barbecue ingredients.
"Third Uncle was very curious. He picked up each bottle and smelled it or opened it to have a look. He asked uncertainly, "Xiao Shu'er, we are here for a trip, why did you bring so many strange herbs?"
"Third Uncle, these are not ordinary herbs. If you use them to roast meat, the smell will make you dizzy."
"There is such a thing. Come and tell Third Uncle about it." When Third Uncle heard that medicinal herbs could be used to roast meat, he became very interested and surrounded Murong Shu to ask for advice.
So the old man and the young man were grinding the herbs while discussing how to match them. Murong Shu was describing more and the third uncle was imagining. At this time, the third brother scolded the people who went out hunting over and over again in his heart, "They are so slow in hunting. We will give them more training when we return to Tianmen Mountain."
At this time, everyone who was hunting in the mountains couldn't help but sneeze. Everyone thought that the junior sister was talking about them, so they quickly speeded up their work.
Murong Shu is here.
The barbecue place is right next to the creek. Murong Shu took Xiao Tao out today. By the time Yi Lao had ground the barbecue ingredients, Xiao Tao had already washed everything she brought.
"Miss, there are fish in this stream. Let's catch a few and grill them later. The last time you grilled them, I still drool when I think about it."
Xiao Tao saw that Murong Shu had finished his work and everyone had not returned from hunting yet, so she thought of catching a few fish and grilling them later.
"Xiao Tao'er, it's no use asking your mistress to help you catch fish. Let's wait. Yueyue is good at kung fu. Let her help you catch fish."
Murong Shu spread her hands. She really couldn't do anything. She could treat patients, but it would be a bit difficult for her to catch fish.
"Why wait for Yueyue for such a small matter? Wait, Third Uncle will help you catch it." Third Uncle would not say that he was attracted by Xiaotao's description. He also wanted to try the grilled fish that was so delicious that it made people drool.
"Thank you, Third Uncle!" Xiao Tao was very happy. She followed Third Uncle with a jar in her hand, waiting to put the fish in. Murong Shu wanted to laugh when he saw this.
But Third Uncle did not let Xiao Tao down and quickly helped her catch a jar. Murong Shu was extremely envious after seeing this. She thought it was great to have martial arts skills. Why was she the only one in Tianmen Mountain who didn't know kung fu?
"Little Shu'er, take a look and see if it's enough. If not, Third Uncle will go catch more." Third Uncle held the jar and showed it to Murong Shu like a little child.
Seeing so many fish, Murong Shu was also happy. He smiled and said, "That's enough, that's enough, Third Master, Xiao Tao, let's deal with these fish first and grill them later so that Third Master can have a taste first."
"Miss, let Xiaotao do the job of killing the fish!" Xiaotao was afraid that her mistress might hurt her hands, so she wanted to handle the fish alone, but was rejected by Murong Shu.
"Let's go together, it will be faster. Third Uncle, come and help, otherwise the brothers will come back and snatch your fish." Murong Shu and Xiao Tao went to the creek together, and did not forget to call Third Uncle.
"Coming, coming." Third Uncle hurriedly followed, holding the jar of fish.
The three of them worked for a long time by the stream before they finished processing a large jar of fish. When there were only a few left, Xiao Tao said to Murong Shu, "Miss, you go grill them first, and I will handle the rest."
Murong Shu nodded at the expectant look on Third Uncle's face, took a few processed fish from the jar, and walked towards the barbecue grill.
When Third Uncle saw Murong Shu leaving, he quickly followed him and said to Xiao Tao with a smile, "Excuse me, Xiao Tao. I'll go see how Shu'er grills fish."
"Uncle Third Master, please go and help my young lady. The remaining Xiaotao will be dealt with in a moment." Xiaotao waved her hand nonchalantly.
When Third Uncle came to the grill, Murong Shu had already skewered the fish skillfully and even started the charcoal fire, and then placed the fish on the grill.
"Xiao Shu'er, is this all right?" Third Uncle thought that this was just an ordinary grilled fish.
"Of course not. The best part is that we just made some barbecue. After it's been grilled for a while, we can sprinkle the ingredients on it."
Murong Shu was turning the fish while explaining to his Third Uncle. Seeing that his Third Uncle seemed very interested, Murong Shu gave him a fish and asked him to grill it. Then the old and the young were busy and having a lot of fun.
When the first layer of barbecue ingredients was sprinkled on, Third Uncle was overwhelmed by the smell and finally understood what Xiaotao meant by the smell that made him want to drool.
