Chapter 3 Justify
Driven by hunger, Liu Che temporarily suppressed his anger and followed Tang Qi through the rice fields to the door of the hut where Tang Qi lived daily.
The hut is entirely made of tree branches, but with Tang Qi's careful design, it has been able to withstand wind and rain.
Of course, this cabin cannot stop disasters such as storms.
Tang Qi also has two other residences, which are used for refuge.
The so-called cunning rabbit's three caves, although Tang Qi has not encountered any danger yet, but it is idle on this desert island, so Tang Qi prepared two extra layers of insurance for himself.
In front of the current hut, Tang Qi also built a stove out of stones, which is about two meters long and very spacious.
At this time, there was a stone pot on the stove, covered with a log cover.
There was a faint aroma of rice escaping from the pot, which made Liu Che, Wei Qing and Wei Zifu couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
"Is...is there steamed rice in this pot?"
Liu Che asked Tang Qi, but his eyes were staring straight at the stone pot, almost turning green, and he completely lost his imperial demeanor.
Yesterday, Liu Che only had one breakfast, and then he encountered an accident and drifted on the sea until he was stranded on a desert island.
Rafting consumes a lot of energy, and a whole day passed, and Liu Che was already starving.
Including Wei Qing and Wei Zifu.
Tang Qi smiled and said: "Your nose is quite good, the rice is indeed steaming in the pot!"
"Can...can you serve me a bowl first?"
Liu Che said a little embarrassed.
It's really embarrassing for such a majestic man to beg for food from a commoner.
Had he not been extremely hungry, Liu Che would never have said such words.
Tang Qi curled his lips and said: "This pot of rice is only enough for me alone. I didn't expect you guys to come and serve you the rice, so I won't have to eat!"
"ah?"
Liu Che was immediately stunned.
Wei Qing pulled out his sword and pointed it at Tang Qi and said: "Is it the king's land in the whole world? Is it the king's ministers who are on the shore of the land? How can you, a common citizen, refuse His Majesty's request for your own lust? You deserve to die!"
"
Tang Qi raised his eyebrows and said: "What, you still want to chop me down? If you have the guts, try to chop me down!"
After enduring for a long time, Tang Qi could no longer bear it.
The guy who played Wei Qing was so insane that he really thought the guy who played Liu Che was the emperor.
It is a crime worthy of death!
You're on a deserted island, why are you showing off?
If Wei Qing really dares to take action, Tang Qi can teach him how to behave in minutes.
After all, that guy had been hungry all day, his steps were sloppy, and he could hardly hold his sword steady.
Not to mention Tang Qi, even a half-grown child might be able to defeat Wei Qing.
Fortunately, Wei Qing just drew his sword to scare Tang Qi.
Seeing that Tang Qi didn't want to do this, Wei Qing softened his attitude and said: "Forget it, because you are a foreigner and don't understand etiquette, I won't argue with you, but this pot of rice must be prepared first.
Presented to Your Majesty, if you want to eat, just steam another portion!"
Wei Zifu followed and said: "Sir, if you find it troublesome to steam another pot of rice, Zifu can do it for you. Please dedicate this pot to Your Majesty!"
Tang Qi didn't like Wei Qing, but he still had a good impression of Wei Zifu.
"Don't steam the rice anymore. There just happened to be a pot of rice left from yesterday. Mix it with this pot of rice to make egg fried rice. It's enough for the four of us. You go sit in the room first, and I'll fry the rice!
"
Tang Qi said as he opened the thick log cover.
Instantly, the rich aroma hit your nostrils.
Liu Che and Wei Qing drooled in dismay.
Wei Zifu covered his lips with his sleeve, presumably swallowing saliva.
Tang Qi couldn't help but ridiculed: "You three are so unlucky. Just rice alone has made you so hungry!"
The three of them immediately blushed and were a little embarrassed.
Wei Qing groaned and said: "Can you still eat the rice that was left overnight? If your Majesty's dragon body is damaged, you will really die without giving up, so why not..."
Tang Qi interrupted impatiently: "Are you a cook?"
Wei Qing was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "Of course not, Wei is a general and an important minister of the Han Dynasty, how can he be close to the cook?"
Tang Qi rolled his eyes and said: "Since you are not a cook, shut up. I have the final say whether the rice can be eaten or not!"
Wei Qing wanted to say something more, but Liu Che said: "Let's just do as we please. Listen to this little brother first and wait inside the house!"
After saying that, Liu Che waved his long sleeves and walked towards the hut.
The moment he walked in, Liu Che still looked back at the rice with some reluctance.
…
When the three of them entered the hut, Tang Qi took out a large wooden barrel from under the stove.
"Fortunately, I was lazy last night and forgot to put it out, otherwise I would be really in trouble today!"
Tang Qi muttered to himself and opened the lid of the barrel.
There is still more than half of the rice in the bucket.
He should have finished all the rice yesterday, but Tang Qi was lucky and caught two seabirds and three fat fish.
Seabirds and two fatty fish were turned into barbecue, and another fat fish was turned into fish soup.
If there is meat to eat, the rice will naturally be left.
It can only be said that the number of days has its own destiny.
Overnight rice is perfect for making egg fried rice.
Tang Qi took out a few bird eggs and knocked them into the big wooden bowl.
The eggs are golden yellow, the protein is clear, there is almost no fishy smell, and the quality is very good.
Tang Qi also dug out hundreds of bird's nests before choosing this bird's egg.
After the egg liquid was prepared, Tang Qi showed off his cooking skills.
Although egg fried rice is simple, if you want to make it very delicious, it will test your cooking skills.
Before Tang Qi lived on a desert island, he also practiced cooking skills in order to chase a girl who was a foodie.
Although the girl later ran away with a rich man, Tang Qi developed his cooking skills.
It is no exaggeration to say that Tang Qi's cooking skills are comparable to those of a three-star Michelin chef.
This is talent.
In less than three minutes, a steaming pot of egg fried rice is ready.
The egg liquid is all wrapped around the rice, and the rice grains are separated, golden, and piled together loosely, just like the golden rice harvested in autumn.
The mellow aroma of eggs, mixed with the fragrance of rice, spread to the hut. Liu Che, Wei Qing and Wei Zifu couldn't help but salivate and swallowed faster.
"It seems that this little gentleman's cooking skills are very good. You can tell from the smell alone that the food he cooks must be delicious!"
Wei Zifu said with some longing.
Liu Che was also tempted by the fragrance.
But when Wei Zifu said this, Liu Che felt unhappy.
How can your own woman praise other men?
"I think this guy's cooking skills are average. Mr. Wang once told me that most people with extraordinary cooking skills have strange looks, big heads and thick necks. This guy obviously doesn't look like that!"
