Compared to Huang Qiong's relaxation, the girls were always quite nervous, holding the weapons in their hands tightly. Even Duan Miao, who was careless before and always looked down on Huang Qiong. After leaving the city, he never dared to leave his hands, hanging the sword slightly in front of the saddle. And although she never seemed to look at Duan Jin's sedan, she never left the two-person sedan more than ten feet away.
Because she was thinking about Duan Jin, Huang Qiong looked back from time to time to see the sedan that Duan Jin was riding on. In fact, it is just a chair with two thick bamboo poles passing underneath, which is what the locals call a sliding pole. After seeing this scene, Huang Qiong smiled and said nothing. Duan Miao seems not to be close to Duan Jin on the surface, but in fact she is still a cold-hearted person who still misses her sister.
However, after entering the mountain, except for the monkeys that were being disturbed in the forest, the monkeys that were constantly jumping in the woods, the flocks of birds that were constantly being startled, and the wild beasts that were jumping around from time to time, there was no movement at all. Along the way, the sneak attack that had been expected never appeared. Faced with this strange, even somewhat depressing tranquility, others were better off.
But maybe the shadow brought by the previous stay at Shanchanhou Mansion was too strong. The second daughter of the Liu family looked extremely nervous. Even under the sound of horse hooves, Huang Qiong could hear the hands of the two women holding the sword in their hands creaking because of too much force. With the look of the two girls, Huang Qiong knew that it would not be possible to continue like this. Maybe before encountering the enemy, the two girls would be the first to collapse due to excessive nervousness.
Huang Qiong raised his head and looked at the sky, then waved his hand. In the mountains and forests, I found a flat area next to a spring and got off my horse. He ordered people to light a bonfire and roast two muntjacs, rabbits and pheasants they had shot along the way. Although this mountain forest is very close to Shicheng County, it is extremely rich. Although there is no deliberate hunting, the number of wild animals is quite abundant.
Huang Qiong just did it casually along the way, but he also gained a little. However, because he was worried that someone was secretly watching, Huang Qiong used a bow and arrow instead of other means. Duan Miao, on the other hand, had no inhibitions and used stones to knock down several colorful golden pheasants. Looking at those extremely colorful golden pheasants that had never been seen in the mainland, Huang Qiong couldn't help but feel like burning a harp and cooking a crane.
It's a pity for such a beautiful golden pheasant. However, Huang Qiong's complaints made Duan Miao roll his eyes: "Why are you pretending to be a good person here? Didn't you just shoot two muntjacs? Don't forget, this is the boundary of Dali country, and it is not yours. This is the emperor of the Qi Dynasty. Even though I am in decline now, I am still a member of the royal family of the Dali Kingdom. Is it your business to hunt in my own land?"
Having said this, Duan Miaozong immediately picked up the two golden pheasants he had shot, threw them in front of Huang Qiong and said: "These golden pheasants are all male. They are born in such a beautiful way just to seduce those hens. Like this You should kill more of the playboys who make themselves colorful just to attract bees and butterflies. To prevent those too simple hens from being harmed by them."
Duan Miao, whose tone clearly meant something else, threw the two golden pheasants he shot in front of Huang Qiong's horse as a provocation. He even rode his horse into the woods, causing a sudden collision and startling a group of golden pheasants. He picked up a handful of stones and threw them out, hitting a few more. When these golden pheasants were thrown in front of Huang Qiong, Huang Qiong could only smile bitterly. Without him, the golden pheasants shot down by Duan Miao were all roosters.
Duan Jin behind him couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh when he saw Huang Qiong and Duan Miao bickering. Duan Miao's actions and words clearly showed that she had not forgotten the things that Huang Qiong did to her last night, and she still held a grudge in her heart. So he took advantage of Huang Qiong's ridicule and took the opportunity to have a fit. He even pointed at mulberry trees and scolded huai trees there, holding those colorful golden pheasants to compare Huang Qiong.
But looking at his stubborn sister, Duan Jin could only helplessly shake his head. My younger sister has gone through so many hardships, but she is still too innocent and fell directly into Huang Qiong's trap. Huang Qiong teased her by saying that hunting such a beautiful golden pheasant was like burning the harp and cooking the crane. In fact, I thought I saw the two Liu daughters were too nervous, so I deliberately said it to let others relax.
Not only did my silly sister not notice it, but she got in without saying a word. She thought she had made Huang Qiong angry, but she looked complacent there. Seeing that his silly sister had fallen into the trap without realizing it, Duan Jin could only smile bitterly without saying anything. One is her husband and the other is her biological sister. What else can she do besides watching a movie?
In contrast to Duan Jin, who smiled helplessly, Huang Qiong looked at the sister-in-law with a provocative attitude, who was very dissatisfied with us fighting, but she didn't say anything. After ordering the guards to wash and clean up the game, he asked the guards to take away a muntjac, plus half of the prey, and find another place nearby for a picnic. He personally built a barbecue grill and grilled the washed and skinned muntjac and rabbit.
Mix the remaining golden pheasants with the chicken oil taken out from their bellies and some seasonings, and carefully brush them on the golden pheasants. Then he wrapped the mud around the spring carefully and threw it into the fire. Then he turned to the barbecue rack, brushing the seasonings and turning them over. Only then did the girls realize that the bundle he took from the guard was filled with seasonings.
In the face of a formidable enemy, Huang Qiong actually still wanted to have a barbecue here, not to mention that he had not made all the preparations before leaving. The girls were also helpless. They really didn't know whether the master was too confident or didn't take Shan Chanhou to heart. However, the girls sighed and came forward to help me with some ideas, but were stopped by Huang Qiong: "On weekdays, it's all you who work hard to serve me."
"Today, I will show off my skills and cook you a delicious meal that you have never tasted before. I will treat you well. You all have a good rest today and no one is allowed to do anything. Besides, you guys are not allowed to touch these things. But I don’t know how to do it. This is my unique craftsmanship that I figured out a few years ago. Don’t look down on these things, but you will know when you eat them. They will definitely leave a fragrance on your lips and teeth. "
Huang Qiong can cook, and the dishes he makes are not only unique, but also extremely delicious. Except for Duan Jin and the second daughter Liu, not to mention the third daughter Duan Yaner and Duan Miao, even Qingzi Luo doesn't know about it. Not just them, but everyone in the world except Huang Qiong's parents and the women around him. Who would know that this most noble person in the world actually has good cooking skills.
Duan Jin, who knew Huang Qiong was a good cook, didn't care. Duan Yaner and the others, on the other hand, couldn't help but shake their heads as Huang Qiong, who was busy there, watched and refused to interfere. Almost none of them believed that this emperor, who had enjoyed the most wealth in the world since Luocao, and was now the king of a country, could cook. Let alone the mighty Emperor Qi.
In their impression, those ordinary clans in Dali Kingdom would never cook for themselves even if they were poor and starved to death. The gentleman's education from far away chef Ding was instilled quite thoroughly. It's just that this master's status is really special, and he doesn't dare to criticize. All these women asked was not to eat themselves up in a while. Facing a strong enemy, he was poisoned first.
When the time comes, the fun will be great. Fortunately, as the aroma of barbecue continued to spread, the doubts in the hearts of the girls were somewhat gone. After Huang Qiong placed the prepared prey among the leaves and handed it to the girls, he smelled the tempting fragrance in his hands. After watching Huang Qiong pull out the pieces of clay holding the golden pheasants from the fire one by one and smash them into pieces, the strange aroma emanated from the roasted chickens.
They didn't expect that the most noble man in the world could actually cook, and the cooking skills were obviously quite good. These women couldn't help but be stunned. Especially Duan Miao, who had an experience of sleeping in the open air in order to leave the Dali royal family. In order to avoid being searched, she often walked to sparsely populated areas. In order to satisfy the hunger, it is not that the beast has not been roasted.
But she baked it and sprinkled it with a layer of salt and it was good. Those grilled things can only barely fill the stomach, and they are not delicious at all. Many times, it is either half-cooked or burnt because of poor control of the heat. But in order to survive, I can only bite the bullet and eat. She had never thought that in this barren mountains and mountains, hastily baked food could be delicious.
After hesitantly taking a bite, I found that it left a lasting aroma on my lips and teeth. Then he let go of his cheeks and started eating like crazy. It would be a fool not to eat the delicious food now. Duan Miao's mouth was filled with oil, and the other girls were also attracted by the delicious food in their hands and started eating too. Seeing the disbelief on the faces of the girls, Duan Jin took a bite of the barbecue and then chuckled: "Your Majesty, there are still many things you don't know about us."
"But it's not easy to eat the delicacies made by our Majesty. I gave birth to my son, and I haven't eaten it a few times. Now even the Emperor and the Empress can't eat his food. It’s delicious. I’ve done it many times. When I return to Jingzhao in a few days, I won’t have the chance to eat it again. But to be honest, this is the first time I’ve eaten these baked things.”
Seeing the fragrance lingering on the lips and teeth of the girls after eating, Huang Qiong just smiled at Duan Jin's comment and said: "Unfortunately, I only brought honey, cooking wine, salt and icing sugar today. I lack a few things and the taste is not as good as before." What I expected was a bit worse. Fortunately, the golden pheasants in spring are really very fat. A lot of chicken fat was cleaned out, and using the chicken fat to boil honey and mix it with water can make up for some shortcomings."
After she finished speaking, she saw that Duan Miaojiang had almost eaten what she had shared with her. And Duan Miao, who obviously didn't eat enough, was still staring at the last half of the golden pheasant. Duan Miao didn't have much interest in roasted muntjac and hare. But Huang Qiong really likes the roasted chicken made using this special method. Duan Miao looked like she was salivating, but she wanted to save face and refused to ask for it.
Huang Qiong couldn't help but smile a little, and stopped Duan Jin who wanted to give the uneaten chicken to Duan Miao. Putting the half chicken into Duan Miao's hand, she said with a smile: "Didn't I say that you are Sister Jin's sister, and we are one family. No matter what you do, I will support you in everything." .Since we are all a family, just tell us what you like to eat openly."
Looking at the half-roasted chicken in his hand and listening to Huang Qiong's heartwarming words, he was still stubborn and said nothing. But Duan Miao turned her head, her eyes turned red inadvertently. After many years of being alone, this was the first time she heard such heartwarming words. Even if this man is not hers, and even has some feelings for her, he is still the first person besides Duan Jin to care about her.
He gently touched Duan Miao's head and comforted the duplicitous woman. Huang Qiong divided the remaining things among the girls. I just took a small bite, washed my hands with the spring water, then stood up and looked at the vast mountains with my hands behind my back, but I didn't know what I was thinking about. Seeing Huang Qiong deep in thought, the girls just ate their food in silence, and no one dared to speak.
