After the salted fish is married

21. Charcoal-grilled venison leg

Yan Xining leaned back, her hand holding the harpoon raised above her head.When the big carp he was looking at entered the hunting range, he leaned forward and let go of the harpoon in his right hand.There was only a sound of water breaking, and the harpoon was mostly submerged in the lake, only two feet above the water.

The sudden movement startled the geese and ducklings, but failed to arouse the vigilance of the koi.They are still huddling leisurely on the lake, swaying their gaudy bodies.

Yan Xining pulled the straw rope and dragged the harpoon to the shore. The harpoon should have hit the fish, but it was quite heavy when dragged.Sure enough, when the iron fork was about to emerge from the water, a big black carp was nailed to the iron fork!

It worked!

Yan Xining smiled openly: "Not bad." The spearfishing technique has not regressed!

Bai Tao cheered: "Master is great!"

He also wants to learn to spearfish, spearfishing is much faster than fishing!Which fork you fancy!

Yan Xining carefully lifted the harpoon to the shore. The fork pierced the carp's head. When he pulled the carp off the harpoon, the fish had stopped moving.

That's the fish... something doesn't seem right.

Yan Xining frowned and looked at this big fish. The scales of this fish were pitch black, it seemed darker than the one Bai Tao caught this morning?And the fins of this fish are also weird, with a circle of white inlaid on the edges of its fins and tail.

Yan Xining held her chin and frowned: "Hmm..."

Could it be that he poked the koi up?But is there such a low-key koi in the world?Aren’t koi all gaudy, the brighter the color, the more valuable it is?

Forget it, no matter what you poke, eat it at night!

Yan Xining and Bai Tao had a good time poking fish on the bank, the eyes of the old lady Fu in the gazebo were staring, he hammered his chest and grieved, "My... Yubai!"

Everyone in the capital knows that the great Confucianist Fu Yanzhi has no other hobbies, but loves koi.On weekdays, he recites poems and paints for koi, and when he hears that someone has a beautiful koi, he goes there to take a look at it at night when he has no time during the day.If you want to ask the Taifu to do something, no matter how much money you give, it will not be as effective as giving him a rare koi.

There are not many houses in the entire capital that can have a large pool, and Prince Rong's Mansion is one of them.This group of koi in the palace has been raised since the time when Shengshang Qianlong, and there are many rare treasures in it.

Because of this, Fu Yanzhi became a frequent visitor to Prince Rong's Mansion. When Ji Song was in northern Xinjiang, he often wandered over to enjoy fish.He named most of the fish in the lake, and the fish that Yan Xining poked ashore with a harpoon was one of Fu Yanzhi's most promising koi - Yubai.

Among the gaudy fish, this steady black always catches the eye.But now this smear can only be put into the frying pan.

The old matriarch's body trembled, what Yan Xining forked away was not a fish, but his flesh and blood!If it wasn't for protecting his identity, he would have cried aloud.

One fish obviously couldn't satisfy Yan Xining's request, so he added two more forks, and he poked an ordinary carp and a fat-headed fish.

Seeing the master and servant on the opposite bank happily carrying three fish towards Wenzhang Garden, the other bank was full of laughter.The soul of the old matriarch in the Huxin Pavilion finally returned to his place, with tears in his eyes: "Who is so presumptuous! That's Yubai! Yubai!"

Ji Song arched his hands, and the corners of his lips turned up slightly: "He is the wife."

Fu Yanzhi: ...

The three fish were quickly picked up by Bai Tao, and Yan Xining was busy chopping, marinating and frying them for a long time.The spicy and crispy fish nuggets that were finally made contained two large food boxes, plus marinated venison, which could not be carried by two people.

The big guards who came to get the food box smiled. The spicy fish nuggets tasted so delicious, they had been looking forward to it for a long time.When they went back with the food box, they felt the wind blowing under their feet and they were moving very fast.

When the crispy fish nuggets were ready, the sky gradually darkened.

At this time, the butler Leng brought a charcoal stove specially used for barbecue.It is said to be a carbon stove, but it is actually no different from a table.There is a sunken iron tank in the middle of the carbon stove, and charcoal fire can be placed in it.There are matching brackets, barbed wire and steel forks on both sides of the iron trough.

On both sides of the iron trough are flat and smooth tabletops, on which various dishes can be placed.The table is very big, not to mention a deer leg, even a whole deer can be easily put down.

Such a large charcoal stove obviously cannot be used in the kitchen, so Yan Xining decided to roast the deer legs under the eaves.It just so happened that their house still had a few candles and a kind of lantern called 'Qi Death Wind'. If the candles were lit and stuffed into the lantern, even if it was windy and rainy outside, the candles would not go out.

By the time Bai Tao hung up the lantern, the sky had completely darkened.Yan Xining put the marinated deer legs on the steel fork, and when the charcoal was burning hot, he clamped the steel fork on the bracket.

The butler Leng is thoughtful, and the charcoal stove has been filled with charcoal.This kind of charcoal has no smoke when it is ignited, and it smells a fruity fragrance.

As the charcoal heats up, the venison shrinks under the heat, and drips of gravy mixed with fat fall down.When the oil falls on the charcoal fire, there will be a slight "呲" sound, and then the bluish white oily smoke will rise from the charcoal.The spicy and mellow meaty smell is mixed with the fruity aroma, and the whole small courtyard is fragrant after a while.

Xiaosong couldn't take it anymore, he squatted next to the charcoal stove and groaned, hoping that the owner would give him a bone.Yan Xining touched Xiaosong's head and comforted him, "Don't worry, the bones are all yours."

Bai Tao took a deep breath while turning the steel fork: "It smells so good! Master, I think I can eat a whole leg!"

Yan Xining raised her brows slightly: "I'll let you eat first." A deer leg weighs at least seven or eight catties, and it's impossible for Bai Tao to eat it.

Bai Tao patted his head foolishly: "Hey, that's all I said."

Eating venison legs alone might be a bit greasy, but Yan Xining wanted to roast some vegetables to relieve the greasy.

Just as he was about to go to the kitchen to look for vegetables, Xiao Song stood up vigilantly.It turned its head in the direction of the courtyard door, and let out a low, threatening sound from its throat.

Under Yan Xining's suspicious eyes, it let go of its feet and walked towards the courtyard gate.The courtyard gate of Wenzhang Garden is a stone arch without a door, facing a curved water corridor outside the door, which is the only way to enter and exit Wenzhang Garden.

The light from the lantern can only illuminate the area around the oven. Fortunately, the moonlight is good today, and Yan Xining can clearly see Xiaosong's figure.I saw it tilting its head, shaking its tail, and making intermittent calls.

Yan Xining had never seen such a strange Xiaosong, he walked over suspiciously: "Xiaosong, what's the matter with you?"

Xiaosong shouted towards the corridor outside the door, and then ran towards the water corridor with his short legs.Yan Xining followed quickly: "Don't run around, be careful not to fall into the water!"

A few days ago, Xiaosong was chasing a mouse. When the mouse jumped into the lake, it also jumped into the lake.Fortunately, Yan Xining has good hearing, otherwise Xiaosong would have to drink a lot of water.

Xiaosong walked through the curved water corridor, and finally stopped in front of the pavilion at the end of the corridor.The little yellow dog wagged its tail and tentatively tried to move forward, but shrank back in fear.

Yan Xining shrank her pupils, there was someone in the pavilion at the end of the corridor!

A tall man sat in a cramped wheelchair, his legs covered by a thick blanket.A shadow enveloped him, split into light and dark.His sideburns and high bridge of nose could not be seen clearly in the dark, but his thin straight lips were coldly exposed in the moonlight.

It's Ji Song!

Yan Xining couldn't feel what Ji Song was looking at, but he always felt that Ji Song was looking at him.

Because he could feel the sight cast from the shadows, like the tip of a blade, quenching the gust of rain and wind, examining his every move from top to bottom like a beast.Such a man, even with disabled legs, still made him break out in cold sweat.

For a moment Yan Xining didn't dare to move.

The surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of fish breaking through the water on the lake could be heard, Yan Xining was uneasy.He went over the things he did recently in his mind, he thought that he should have no chance to offend Ji Song recently, right?

A moment later, Yan Xining was overwhelmed with guilt, could it be... Ji Song heard him calling Xiao Song's name just now?

The author has something to say:

Ah Ning: Die, Yan Ke is easy to fool, matsutake is not easy to fool!

Songsong: Matsutake?
