Sure enough, all the time-travelers are the protagonists, and getting promoted, getting rich, and finding a wife is as easy as eating and drinking for other people.
Feeling the tenderness of the struggle in his arms, Chen Kan subconsciously hugged her tightly.
"do not move."
With Chen Kan hugging her like this, Zhu Yuelan didn't dare to move, especially since there was a big snake's body on the other side of the boat.
When Zhu Yuelan's trembling body gradually calmed down, Chen Kan let go of her and slowly rowed toward the shore while rocking the oar.
Jumping off the boat, Zhu Yuelan patted her chest with lingering fear, pointed at the big snake corpse that was tightly covered by lotus leaves and asked: "Deng disciple, why did you bring it back?"
Chen Kan pretended to be mysterious and said: "You will know later."
Zhu Zhanji may have gone crazy because Chen Kan and Zhu Yuelan waited for a long time but did not see him come back.
In a green area on the other side of the lake, Fang Xu and his people had already arranged everything. Chen Kan called the little eunuch who was left behind to give instructions.
Then he took Zhu Yuelan and walked under the greenery.
With the lakeside scenery so picturesque, what could be more fun than a picnic on a hot August day?
A huge blanket was spread on the ground, with four pillars erected around it, and then covered with thin silk. A few large lotus leaves were picked from local materials and spread on the silk, and a simple pergola was set up.
Various fruits and snacks were placed on the blanket, and mosquito coils made of pine branches and wormwood were lit. The Xuanwu Lake summer camp officially began.
After Zhu Yuelan was settled, Chen Kan came to the lake, built a simple stove with stones, poured red-hot charcoal in, laid a wire mesh on it, and started to barbecue.
At the same time, Fang Xu also took Captain Jinyi to clean the big snake, cut it into small pieces, put it on one end of the stove with the fresh chicken and started to stew it.
The large skewers of fresh mutton were grilled until they were sizzling and slightly browned. I grabbed a handful of ground fennel and dogwood powder and sprinkled it on. The alluring aroma of the meat immediately hit my nostrils.
Chen Kan shook off the excess fat, placed two vegetable leaves under the plate, served it to Zhu Yuelan and said with a smile, "Eat it while it's hot. Don't let the mutton cool, otherwise it will become sour."
"Hmm~ Well, it's so delicious..."
Zhu Yuelan had no time to talk to Chen Kan. Her cheeks were bulging like a squirrel full of food.
Chen Kan held a skewer of mutton in his mouth, took out a marinated chicken, wrapped it in several large lotus leaves, spread a thick layer of earth on the outside, and put the earth ball into the charcoal to burn.
After washing his hands with the clear lake water, he took a large handful of meat skewers and started grilling them.
In the distance, a little fat man with a body as strong as a little leopard was running toward Chen Kan's barbecue place, dripping with laughter from a long distance.
"Okay, okay, give me a bunch!"
The little diners' eyes were bright and they were staring at the meat skewers.
Looking at the chubby little boy, Chen Kan couldn't help but laugh. He wrapped the bamboo stick with a handkerchief, handed the meat skewer to him, and said, "Your Highness, eat slowly and be careful not to burn it!"
"I know, I know!"
Zhu Zhanji shook his little head, held up the meat skewers, and started biting it like a starving ghost reincarnated.
"Hiss~"
I was so hot that I didn't want to eat slower.
After serving the two diners, Chen Kan opened the clay pot where chicken and snake meat were stewed. The pot was already steaming.
Throw in a large amount of garlic, stir it with a spoon, and the tangy aroma will spread.
Covering the lid and letting the pot continue to simmer, Chen Kan took a handful of lettuce and put it into his mouth to chew.
The weather was too hot, and I ate too many barbecues, which made me tired.
Zhu Zhanji's chubby hands and face were covered with grease after eating, and the same goes for the cute girl with big eyes.
The waiter brought water to wash the two of them, and stared at Chen Kan with a pair of big eyes and a pair of small eyes.
Chen Kan spread his hands, indicating that there was no more.
Barbecue is just something you can indulge in. Zhu Yuelan is okay, but Zhu Zhanji is too young and it is not easy to digest if he eats too much.
"Chen Kan, if you have this skill, you might as well come to my palace as a cook and be a royal guard."
Little Fatty stuck his buttocks out and leaned against the stove, staring intently at the lumps of earth in the fire.
Chen Kan threw a handful of spices into the soup, sprinkled some salt, and responded casually: "Thank you for your love, Your Highness. It's just that I'm used to being free outside, and I'm not used to staying in the palace."
Little Fatty shook his head and said regretfully: "That's a pity, the meat you roast is more delicious than the palace cook's."
"Uh-huh!"
Zhu Yuelan looked in agreement.
Chen Kan smiled complacently and said nothing.
He took a small spoon and filled a bowl of soup. The milky white snake soup greatly increased appetite. Chen Kan took a sip, and the delicious taste suddenly exploded in his taste buds.
"You can have soup!"
Putting the soup bowl aside to cool down, Chen Kan filled a bowl for each of the two eager diners.
"Your Highness Princess, I said that I would cut it into eight pieces to relieve your anger. This is the soup made from the snake demon. Try it and see if it relieves your anger?"
Chen Kan was courting Zhu Yuelan when Little Fatty suddenly came up to him and said, "Snake demon, where are you? Where is the snake demon?"
Chen Kan pointed expressionlessly at the bowl in Little Fatty's hand that was bigger than his head: "It's in your hand!"
"ah?"
Little Fatty looked at the soup in the bowl with a suspicious look.
"Don't believe him. He's just an ordinary long worm. There's no such thing as a snake demon."
Zhu Yuelan rolled her eyes at Chen Kan, took a sip of soup, and a look of intoxication suddenly appeared on her face.
"There is a snake~"
Chen Kan made an exaggerated expression, which immediately made Zhu Yuelan's face turn red.
Recalling the feeling when I got into Chen Kan's arms just now, it was so shameful!
"Shameless, slutty, slutty, go to hell..."
The two of them had a flirtatious attitude, which made the little fat man look suspicious.
But after he took a tentative sip of the soup, he couldn't stop anymore.
"What's the name of this dish? Why have I never eaten it before?"
Chen Kan used tongs to dig out the lumps of earth from the charcoal fire. He was about to say "Dragon and Phoenix Soup."
When the words came to his lips, he quickly stopped, and then cold sweat broke out all of a sudden.
These days, if you dare to use dragons and phoenixes to stew soup, isn't that just looking for death?
The dragon represents your majesty, and the phoenix represents the queen.
so close!
Chen Kan changed his voice and said: "This dish was created by Wei Chen. It doesn't have a name yet. If Your Highness likes to eat it, why not ask His Highness to give it a name."
As soon as Chen Kan said this, Xiao Pangdun started to think deeply while holding a bowl as big as a human head.
"There are snakes and chickens in the soup. Is it called cockatrice soup?"
Zhu Yuelan shook her head and said: "No, Chicken Snake Soup is too unpleasant, why not call it Dragon and Phoenix Soup!"
"Hiss~"
As soon as Zhu Yuelan said this, Chen Kan and Zhu Zhanji took a breath of cold air at the same time, shook their heads and said in unison: "No!"
