Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 3: Dragon meat
Ning Xi threw the basket full of clothes under the tree and walked quickly towards his secret base, but the atmosphere in the woods today was a bit strange. Drumming.
Kankan approached the edge of the forest, and suddenly heard a scolding: "Who!" A figure with a long knife jumped out, frightening Ningxi to death, not to mention the peaceful age of the previous life, just wearing After arriving here, it was the first time she saw a person with a weapon on her body, and she was so vicious. Her first reaction was to encounter a robbery.
"Don't kill me, I can give you the money if you want." Ning Xi quickly expressed her position.
"What nonsense! No idle people are allowed to approach here today, hurry away!" the man said angrily.
"But..." Ning Xi thought that her entire net worth was still in the abandoned kiln in the woods, so she could not help but look inside worriedly.
"What are you looking at, just leave if you don't want to lose your head!"
"Oh!" Ning Xi shrank his neck, suddenly caught sight of a familiar person out of the corner of his eyes, and waved happily, "Brother Qingshan, here!"
Qingshan came over: "It turned out to be Ning Xiaomei, our master is hunting in the woods today, you better stop hanging around here, let's go!"
"Hunting? What are you hunting for?" Since the concept that animals here are not allowed to eat, Ning Xi never thought of the idea of hunting here.
"Eat it!" Qing Shan Shen told Ning Xi mysteriously, "If you don't tell me, you really don't know, our lord, this distinguished guest, loves to eat meat, you haven't eaten the wild deer meat on this mountain. Come on, special fragrance!"
"Have you eaten?" Ning Xi was extremely surprised.
Qingshan shook his head regretfully: "No, I have smelled the aroma of stewed meat, which is stewed with your dried shiitake mushrooms. It's a pity, those of us who are servants have no chance to taste it."
"Is this meat edible and won't poison people?"
"Haha, who told you that meat can't be eaten, it's just because it's too fishy and I don't like it."
"There is such a thing!" Ning Xi was completely stunned. She had never felt like a big fool like now, and she would actually believe the fallacy that any animal's meat is poisonous.
"Be careful!" Suddenly, Qing Shan exclaimed. Before Ning Xi could react, a sharp arrow whistled past his ear, "Duh!" A wild bird was firmly nailed to his body. on the tree trunk next to it.
"Flying dragon!" Ning Xi forgot his fear for a moment, and pointed at the wild bird on the arrow in surprise and said, "This is a flying dragon!" And the legs are short and feathery, and the claws have scales, just like dragon claws, isn't it the legendary "flying dragon bird"?
The scientific name of "Flying Dragon Bird" is hazel chicken. It has been a famous dish since ancient times and is known as one of the "Eight Treasures". Ningxi also ate it in modern times, but it was artificially raised. Although the taste is delicious, it always tastes good. It's a pity, now that she finally sees the living wild "flying dragon bird", how can she not be excited?
Qingshan didn't know why, so he replied dumbly: "Oh!"
"This is extremely delicious. As the saying goes, the dragon meat in the sky is the meat of the donkey on the ground, and the dragon meat refers to this flying dragon meat! Qingshan, look at who shot down this bird. Can you discuss it with him? Give it to me?" The temptation of delicious food for foodies is fatal, and the excited Ning Xi has long forgotten his identity as a pauper.
"Hey!" I heard a chuckle, "You're so small, you're really brave!" It was the beautiful man I met earlier by the river who was still sitting in a wheelchair. Give the bow and arrow in your hand to the waiter next to you.
"You shot this?" Ning Xi doubted whether his thin body could pull the big bow in front of him.
"Presumptuous!" Someone drew a knife towards Ningxi.
The beautiful man waved his hand to let the man back down: "I am very interested to taste it after hearing you say so well about this flying dragon bird."
Ning Xi rolled his eyes: "Although Feilong is delicious, if it falls into the hands of mediocre people who don't know how to cook, it will only spoil this rare delicacy."
"Then you mean..."
"Let me do it! It's guaranteed to bring out the deliciousness of the dragon meat." The rare ingredients made Ning Xi's hands itch.
"Can you do it?" The handsome man looked suspiciously at the apparently underage girl.
"Of course! If it doesn't work, it's up to you!" Ning Xi raised her head and raised her flat little chest high.
"Okay, then let's try it!"
"Lord, beware of fraud."
"It's okay!" The handsome man waved his hand and asked him to take down the flying dragon and hand it over to Ning Xi, and instructed Qing Shan, "You look at her."
"Ms. Ning, do you really know how to do it?" Qing Shan asked worriedly.
Ning Xi looked at him gratefully: "Brother Qingshan, don't worry." Then he looked around.
"What are you looking for?"
"I found it!" Ning Xi happily ran over and pulled out a few wild onions, "That's it, the flying dragon meat is delicious without any seasoning, but this wild onion can better stimulate the flying dragon's Delicious and delicious, it is a perfect match.”
Ningxi borrowed Qingshan's dagger and quickly disemboweled Feilong. The technique was extremely skilled. Qingshan, who had been worried all the time, was relieved when he saw this. He couldn't see that Ning Xiaomei also had two brushes!
In less than a moment, the flying dragon meat has been processed, and Ning Xi took the hanging pot used for cooking the soup to the stream and scrubbed it clean: "This pot for making soup must not be stained with a little oily smell, otherwise If you don't know, marinating the dragon meat with oil or soy sauce will lose the umami."
Qingshan doesn't know how to cook, so he just nodded.
The washed hanging pot was placed on the fire to boil water. Ning Xi sprinkled the snow-white salt on the flying dragon meat. When the water boiled, holding the flying dragon in one hand, he kept scooping up the boiling water with a spoon in the other hand. On the dragon meat, spin the dragon meat while pouring it, and pour each spoonful of boiling water, and everyone around can smell a delicious aroma in the steaming white air.
Wait until it is half cooked, then put the whole dragon meat into the pot, then sprinkle in the wild onion, roll a couple of times, and leave the fire immediately. At this time, it is already fragrant, just smell it. It makes people move their index fingers.
I saw that the water of the flying dragon soup was crystal clear, the meat of the flying dragon was snow-white and tender, and the handsome man's face was full of admiration. Ning Xi was very happy. He first filled a bowl and handed it to him. People stopped him: "You try first."
Ningxi understands that this is asking her to test the poison, and she is not polite at the moment. She takes a sip with a breath. Extraordinary.
Seeing her expression of intoxication, the handsome man couldn't hold it any longer. He hurriedly called someone to serve the soup. Poor Ningxi was snatched from the bowl before he could take a second sip. : "Okay, it's none of your business, let's go!"
"Hey, I haven't finished eating yet!" Ning Xi said quickly.
Qingshan hurriedly worked with others to drag her down, for fear that she would accidentally say something to anger the Lord.
"Why is this!" Ning Xi leaned against a tree trunk boredly, slandering those privileged classes who don't take people seriously, regretting that he didn't even eat a piece of flying dragon meat. Feilong is alert by nature, and it is not so easy for ordinary people to fight, and I don't know if there is any chance to eat it again in the future.
However, these small animals in the mountains and plains are all edible! Thinking of this, Ning Xi seemed to see delicious dishes bouncing in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help laughing again. He won't be hungry any more in the future, long live!
"What are you thinking, your saliva is about to fall. The Lord told you to go, hurry up, by the way, be careful when you talk later." Qing Shan looked at her amusingly.
"Oh!" Ning Xi followed inexplicably, as if everyone here was very afraid of this so-called "sovereign", but Ning Xi felt that apart from being a little contemptuous of others, he wasn't too scary. !
"You grew up in this village?"
"Yeah!" Ning Xi didn't know why he was asking this, did he check his hukou?
"As far as I know, the villagers here never eat meat, but I don't know where you learned about the preparation of this dragon meat, and the name of the dish you said earlier by the river, how did you know it? ' the handsome man asked slowly.
"Ah?" Ning Xi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and his mind was spinning rapidly. In his panic, he could only think of an excuse, "The little girl's father is doing business abroad. I learned this from my father's letter." I am grateful to my dad who made a lot of money in the city and never met him.
"Hmm." Fortunately, this person did not continue to ask, and changed his voice: "Just hearing about your craftsmanship is so good, it seems that you have a good talent in cooking, I wonder if you are willing to go back with me, Working in the kitchen?"
There was a sound of air-conditioning all around. It seemed that she never expected her master to make such a proposal. What was even more surprising was that Ning Xi shook her head and refused. She wants to open a restaurant by herself and be the owner in the future. Those who develop their own careers are not willing to be slaves in other people's homes. What's more, the lie he told was very untenable in the first place, and now he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
The handsome man was not angry, but said with a little regret: "It's okay, since you don't want it, then forget it, you go!"
When the little figure left, a figure flashed behind the man: "Master, this little girl is suspicious, do you need a subordinate..."
"No, she's not malicious."
Ning Xi naturally didn't know that she was close to the gate of hell. Seeing that it was almost noon, she had to hurry back to make lunch, otherwise the aunt would not be able to forgive her easily.
Back to the village, Ning Xi found that many people were happy, and hurried to the village head, grabbing a child who was passing by curiously: "Er Gouzi, is there any happy event in the village? Why is everyone so happy? Where are you going?"
Er Gouzi happily replied: "The letter is back! Hey, don't drag me, I have to go and see if my uncle in the city has brought something back."
A believer? What the **** is this? Ning Xi looked at the happy villagers in doubt.
