Adorable Food Goddess

Chapter 37 Calling Flowers and Birds

He Lianjing opened his mouth, but didn't shout out. If Brother Chunyu saw him in such a distressed state, he would definitely reprimand him. After hesitating, Brother Chunyu had already gone away on his horse.

He Lianjing began to regret again, he could get out of the current predicament just by yelling just now, and he no longer had to follow a vicious brat.

What are you looking at? Take it. Ye Jiayao stuffed a clay pot into He Lianjing's hand.

He Lianjing looked away in dismay, forget it, but Chunyu brother took him back when he ran out by himself, that's a bit too condescending.

Let's go, I hope I can find a farmhouse to rest today, otherwise I will have to live in a ruined temple. Ye Jiayao gave him a push.

Why don't we go by water? Do we really have to walk back to Jinling on two legs? Helian Jingweng said in a low voice.

Ye Jiayao was stunned: Is there the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal?

He Lianjing raised his eyebrows and said, What about the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal? Anyway, I came here by boat.

Ye Jiayao's eyes lit up: Where did you go by boat?

Jining.

Ye Jiayao was delighted, oh my god, that's great, isn't this the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal? Otherwise, how could it be possible to take a boat from Jinling all the way to Jining. It turns out that a canal was also dug in this time and space. I don’t know which sage king did it.

But... why did she come from Yangzhou by land? Can't figure it out.

You also know that you are going to Jining to take a boat, what are you talking about? Ye Jiayao deliberately glared at him fiercely.

Leaving Xinyi, the two went southwest and passed a village. Ye Jiayao saw a few old hens walking in the field next to the village, and swallowed involuntarily. Nima, I haven't eaten meat for several days. As Jingjing said, the bird is fading out of his mouth, it would be beautiful if he could get a chicken to eat as a beggar chicken.

Looking at Xiao Jingjing is also staring at the old hen with green eyes.

Steal or not? Ye Jiayao is struggling.

I really want to get one to sacrifice to the temple of the five internal organs, but the teacher taught her since she was a child that she should pay attention to five things and four beauties, and she can't do things like stealing chickens and dogs.

Forget it, it's not easy for a fellow villager to raise a few chickens, and maybe they still count on the old hen to lay eggs for a few coppers to live on. We can't cut off their livelihood.

Ye Jiayao rubbed her stomach and told the glutton in her stomach that no matter how poor we are, we must stick to our principles. At this time, Ye Jiayao couldn't help but think of the stupid donkey. That guy has extraordinary martial arts skills. Every time he goes up the mountain, he is either a bird or a beast, and he never fails.

Xiao Jingjing, do you know how to hunt? Ye Jiayao asked expectantly.

He Lianjing was so disgusted by her disgusting name that he was numb, and the corner of his mouth twitched: Hunting? That's my strong point.

Ye Jiayao rolled her eyes: Blowing the bullshit, you can hit one and let me see.

He Lianjing spread his hands: You can give me a bow and arrow, give me a bow and arrow, and I promise I can catch it.

Nonsense, where can I get you a bow and arrow?

He Lianjing looked around and saw two birds resting on a jujube tree not far away, so he touched a small stone from the ground and smiled: Look at it.

He Lianjing aimed at the little bird, shot out the stone in his hand, chirp... the two little birds flew away fluttering with frightened wings.

Ye Jiayao snorted: Are you hunting birds or frightening them?

He Lianjing rubbed his stomach embarrassingly: I'm so hungry that I have no strength, otherwise I'll hit you.

If you are not proficient, you can find no excuses for not being proficient. Ye Jiayao gave him a gouged look. In fact, she was also hungry, but there was only so much dry food, so she had to save some food.

Ye Jiayao went to the village to ask for a pot of water, and the two continued on their way.

He Lianjing always thought about the shame, grabbed a handful of stones in his hand, and hit the birds he saw along the way, but he couldn't hit them.

Ye Jiayao couldn't stand it anymore: Aren't you hungry, save yourself some effort!

He Lianjing snorted sullenly, and aimed at another bird.

Boom...

Haha, I hit it. Seeing the bird falling from the tree, He Lianjing danced happily and ran over happily to pick it up.

Dayaoyao, I hit it, we have some meat to eat.

Ye Jiayao almost stumbled, Nima, when did you change your name to Dayaoyao? I strangled it.

You try calling again? Ye Jiayao had no beard and could only stare blankly.

Seeing her go crazy, He Lianjing was even happier: Don't you also call me Xiao Jingjing? My name is Xiao Jingjing, and your name is Dayaoyao, that's only fair.

To be fair to you, believe it or not, I won't even give you a butt. Ye Jiayao wanted to scratch him to death.

He Lianjing knew her well, and knew that she was also bluffing. She looked fierce, but she wasn't that scary, so she smiled and said, Just leave me one of the chicken wings.

Anger is anger, food and clothing are the most important thing, this bird is quite fat, Ye Jiayao is going to use the method of making a beggar chicken to make a beggar.

There happened to be a small pond by the roadside, and lotus flowers were planted in the pond. Ye Jiayao asked Xiao Jingjing to pick some lotus leaves and came back, squatting by the pond to remove the bird feathers and internal organs.

He Lianjing came back after picking the lotus leaves, and asked curiously, Are the lotus leaves used as bowls?

Ye Jiayao didn't bother to talk to him, and told him to dig a hole.

I took out the seasoning from the bag, rubbed some salt and five-spice powder on the bird's body, rubbed it on the stomach again, sprinkled peppercorns, wrapped it in lotus leaves, and mixed some mud with the water from the pond. Use Shaoxing rice wine to mix the mud, so that the roasted bird meat will be more fragrant, but the conditions are not allowed, it is good to eat with meat, not so particular.

Da Yaoyao, the hole has been dug. He Lianjing was very excited, and dug out a big hole with three strokes.

Ye Jiayao walked over to have a look, and said disgustedly: Are you sure you didn't dig this hole for yourself?

Nima, it's just a little bird, the hole dug is enough to make a roast pig.

He Lianjing muttered: You didn't say how big the dig was.

Ye Jiayao rolled his eyes at him: Go and get some firewood.

He Lianjing happily went to collect firewood and cook food in the wild. He had never had such an experience before. Even if he went hunting with his elder brother and Chunyu brother, there would be a cook to cook with him, so it felt very fresh and interesting. .

Hey, don't come back with a tree, just pick up some dead branches. Ye Jiayao was afraid that this young man who didn't work hard would pull up the trees on the side of the road, so she hurriedly confessed.

The bird sealed with mud was buried in the soil, and Ye Jiayao started to light a fire. The fire has been lit for almost a month in Heifenggang, and now Ye Jiayao is quite proficient in the use of flint, and the fire can be lit in two or three strokes.

He Lianjing looked very novel, but also had some doubts: Is this possible? Wrapped in mud and buried in the soil, isn't it dirty?

Ye Jiayao put the extra lotus leaves under her buttocks, took a piece of dogtail grass in her mouth, and said, I don't know how delicious it is! Don't drool later.

He Lianjing sat down next to her, smiled and flattered: You know a lot, I really thought we had to beg for food before.

Ye Jiayao tilted her head and said, That's right, master has traveled all over the world for so many years, can you do it without any skills?

He Lianjing pouted: I'm bragging again.

Hey, Xiao Jingjing, what does your family do? Is it an official? Or is it a business? Ye Jiayao asked.

Helian Jingxin said, saying it would scare you to death, and said modestly: Young official, let's do some small business.

Ye Jiayao didn't believe it: Would Yunshuibi who can wear more than one hundred taels of silver be someone who is a petty official and a small business?

He Lianjing said: You will know when you arrive in Jinling.

I don't want to talk about falling down. Anyway, she didn't tell the truth, evening out.

After baking for about an hour, Ye Jiayao took a wooden stick and dug out the mud bag. The outer layer of mud has been roasted and cracked, and it will be broken with a wooden stick, and the lotus leaves will be disassembled, and the aroma of the simmering inside will overflow.

Wow, it smells so good. He Lianjing swallowed uncontrollably, and was about to grab it.

Be careful it's hot. Ye Jiayao slapped his hand off, carefully tore a bird's leg with a knife and gave it to him: Taste it.

He Lianjing took a bite, and felt that the meat was soft and tender. The fragrance of the meat was mixed with the fragrance of lotus leaves. It was very special but very attractive. Although it was only sprinkled with some salt, five-spice powder, and peppercorns, it was even more obvious that the bird meat was originally fresh. The fragrant taste is very delicious, even better than the roasted whole lamb made by his chef.

Ye Jiayao is the first time to use such a primitive method to make beggars and birds. However, it seems that the beggars and birds made by this local method have a unique flavor. They are double-wrapped with lotus leaves and mud to minimize the evaporation of water and prevent the fragrance from dispersing. The simple seasoning preserves the original flavor of the ingredients to the greatest extent. What a wonderful word.

It's delicious, Yaoyao, you are amazing. He Lianjing was full of praise.

Brother Jin, next time I will cook something more delicious for you, otherwise... hehe! Ye Jiayao raised the beggar in her hand and threatened with narrowed eyes.

Under the lure of delicious food, classmate Xingjing gave up his determination to take advantage of it, and was willing to be a good little Jingjing.

The two of them killed a bird in one blow, both of them were still unsatisfied.

It doesn't matter, I will hunt a few birds every day, or something else. He Lianjing said confidently, wiping his mouth.

Ye Jiayao was deeply skeptical: I think you are just a blind cat who occasionally encounters a dead mouse and beats a few of them every day. I don't have such a sweet dream.

Ye Jiayao packed her bags and set off on the road.

Hey, don't you believe it. I used to use bows and arrows before. It's the first time I hit with stones. I'm just a little novice. When I get used to it, I can catch it with my hands. He Lianjing was most afraid of being underestimated, and chased after him. Ye Jiayao defended.

Ye Jiayao was so annoyed that she waved her hand and said, It's alright, alright, can you count your strength? I'm afraid you'll be exaggerating, so I flicked my tongue to help you out. You don't appreciate it.

The sky was getting dark, and Ye Jiayao estimated how much distance she had traveled in a day, and it might be less than twenty miles. At this speed, it takes years of the monkey to reach Jining?

I can't walk anymore, I'm dying of thirst. He Lianjing had never suffered such a pain before, the soles of his feet were blistered, he sat on the side of the road, took off his shoes and rubbed his feet there.

Ye Jiayao looked around, there was no village, no shops, not even a broken gazebo, and it was not a place to rest, so she said, You still don't admit that you are squeamish, get up, I don't want to spend the night in the wild.

He Lianjing's eyes were fixed on the front, the bottom of his eyes shone with excitement, and he turned a deaf ear to Ye Jiayao's sarcasm and urging.

Ye Jiayao followed his line of sight, and it turned out to be a watermelon field.

The four eyes met, and the two said in unison: You go...
