Chapter 545 Xiao Jinyan was shocked again: I don't know how many surprises you have left!(1/2)
Shen Chuwei looked at the clothes that originally fit him and now looked a little empty, feeling that Xiao Jinyan seemed to have lost some weight.
During this time of traveling, eating and drinking are not as good as in the palace, and it is difficult to gain weight.
Xiao Jinyan looked away and looked at Shen Chuwei. At this time, she had already changed into women's clothes. Because it was troublesome to wear women's clothes on the way, she kept wearing men's clothes.
Her face is too delicate and pink, and she will look good whether she is wearing men's or women's clothes.
"Let's go out and get some food."
Shen Chuwei's chest was pressed against her back with hunger. She nodded happily, "Okay."
When Xiao Jinyan and Shen Chuwei came out, Qin Xiao and Wu Tan had already changed their clothes. The former was setting up a rack in front of the fire to dry his clothes, while the latter was running errands and sitting in front of the Buddha statue, clasping his hands and chanting sutras in his mouth. arts.
When Qin Xiao saw his master coming out, he stood up and took out the wet clothes, then put them on a rack to dry.
Shen Chuwei glanced at Wu Tan for a few times without disturbing him, and sat in front of the fire with Xiao Jinyan, warming themselves up.
Xiao Jinyan opened the oil paper bag in the package and handed it to Shen Chuwei. Inside were the pastries he bought when passing through the small town. The taste was okay.
"Eat some pastries to cushion your stomach."
Shen Chuwei looked at the pastries in front of her. At this moment, she really wanted to eat. Pastries could only be eaten as snacks. If they were eaten as staple food, they would not taste so good.
She raised her head and looked at Xiao Jinyan, "Let's cook and eat."
"Cooking?" Xiao Jinyan seemed to have thought of something, "You didn't bring the pot? Did you bring the rice?"
Qin Xiao was in charge of daily necessities, but Xiao Jinyan didn't pay attention to them. In his eyes, it was enough to just bring money and clothes and hit the road.
Shen Chu smiled and nodded, "I brought not only the pot but also potato powder."
Xiao Jinyan asked doubtfully: "What is taro powder?"
Shen Chuwei explained: "It's just flour washed from taro. The stir-fried meat with mountain vermicelli and rice balls is very delicious."
Xiao Jinyan didn't understand even when Shen Chuwei explained it. He didn't even know what taro was.
As soon as Shen Chuwei saw Xiao Jinyan's expression, she knew that he didn't understand. The prince, who had never touched Yangchun Shui, had known about it before because he asked her out of curiosity while eating wild rice dumplings and stir-fried meat.
"Your Highness, please rest first while I go to cook." Shen Chuwei stood up and went to the package, taking out the cooking pot and pan.
Qin Xiao saw this and came over, "I'm going to wash rice."
Shen Chuwei didn't refuse, "Okay."
Qin Xiao took out an appropriate amount of rice from the bag, then stood up and walked out. There was a lake not far from the temple. He held an umbrella and washing rice was not a problem.
Xiao Jinyan came over when he had nothing to do. He saw her busy and looked at the fire. She must need a stove for cooking. Thinking of this, he got up and walked out again.
Shen Chu raised his head slightly and looked at Xiao Jinyan, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes. When he saw Xiao Jinyan walking in, holding several stones of different sizes in his hands, he suddenly understood.
She said in a cheerful voice, "Your Highness."
"I'll build two stoves." Xiao Jinyan walked over with a faint smile and placed the stone on the ground.
Shen Chuwei thought to herself that smart people can really draw inferences from one case to another. When she talked about cooking, Xiao Jinyan knew that she needed two stoves, one for cooking and one for cooking.
Xiao Jinyan went back and forth several times, brought in a lot of stones, and then built two stoves next to the fire.
When Qin Xiao came back from washing rice, he could just put the pot on the stove to cook.
Shen Chuwei looked at the potato flour. She couldn't just eat potato flour for dinner. She looked outside. She wondered if she could catch rabbits, pheasants, etc. on a rainy day.
"I'll go outside and take a look."
As Shen Chuwei said that, she lifted up her skirt and ran out.
Xiao Jinyan was building the second stove. When he saw Shen Chuwei running out, he was worried, so he left the task of building the stove to Qin Xiao and chased him out.
Shen Chuwei walked out of the temple. The rain outside was lighter than before. She looked around. When she came in, the rain was too heavy and she couldn't see the surrounding environment clearly. Now she found that there were small woods all around. In the past, there were no other houses and it was supposed to be a suburb.
As usual, she made a trap with a rope, then hid aside and waited for the rabbit. This method worked repeatedly.
Xiao Jinyan walked out and saw Shen Chuwei's petite figure hiding behind a tree. He stared at it curiously for a while and then walked over with doubts.
As soon as she took a step, she saw a rabbit running over. The next second, she saw Shen Chuwei happily jumping out from behind the tree. Only then did she realize that she had a rope in her hand. She was hiding behind the tree just now to wait for the rabbit. ~
Shen Chuwei ran over happily, bent down and picked up the rabbit's ears. Sure enough, this trick of catching rabbits worked well and never let her down.
When she turned around, she saw Xiao Jinyan walking towards her. She happily raised the rabbit in her hand and said, "Your Highness, there is a roast rabbit to eat."
Xiao Jinyan stared at the fat and strong rabbit in her hand, which was kicking on its hind legs. He was a little unbelievable, "You caught a rabbit in just such a short time?"
Shen Chuwei lowered his head and glanced at the rabbit in his hand, "I catch rabbits like this every time. Is there any problem?"
Xiao Jinyan was still surprised at first, thinking that she was lucky to catch the rabbit, but in the end...
"Is this how you catch them every time?"
"Well, I use this method every time, and I never fail." Shen Chuwei said in a rather proud voice.
Xiao Jinyan was so surprised. What kind of luck would it take for her to trap a rabbit with a loose rope and succeed every time?
Shen Chu held Xiao Jinyan's arm slightly and said with a smile: "Your Highness, let's go back. We can eat roast rabbit tonight."
Xiao Jinyan nodded, "Yeah."
The two walked into the temple.
As soon as Qin Xiao set up the stove, he saw the two masters coming back. When he saw the rabbit in Shen Chuwei's hand, he was shocked. In just a short time, he caught a rabbit?
Xiao Jinyan ordered: "Qin Xiao, take care of the rabbit."
"I obey." Qin Xiao strode over, took the rabbit from Shen Chuwei's hand, and then strode out again.
Shen Chuwei took Xiao Jinyan's arm and came to the fire before letting go of his hand. After squatting down, she glanced at Wu Tan, who had been chanting sutras since she changed her clothes. Although she was curious, she didn't ask.
While Shen Chu was lightly frying the wild rice dumplings, Qin Xiao walked in with the prepared rabbit, took out the salt and was about to rub it on the rabbit.
Shen Chuwei reminded: "Qin Xiao, marinate the rabbit for a while before roasting it, so it will be more delicious."
When Qin Xiao heard this, he stopped what he was doing and asked, "How to pickle it?"
Shen Chuwei picked up the ingredients she had just mixed and handed it to Qin Xiao, "Use this and spread it evenly."
"Okay." Qin Xiao knew Shen Chuwei's cooking skills, so he followed it without asking.
Shen Chuwei continued busy with the work at hand.
Xiao Jinyan didn't know how to cook, but he just watched Shen Chuwei frying the mountain vermicelli dumplings. The aroma immediately wafted out. He smelled it and said, "It smells so good."
Shen Chuwei loves mountain vermicelli dumplings. During the days when she and Xiao Jinyan were together, mountain vermicelli dumplings were a dish that often appeared, and she would grow some every year.
After the first pot was out of the pot, Shen Chuwei took Poyue and cut the wild rice balls into pieces, put them into a clean bowl, and then handed them to Xiao Jinyan, "Your Highness, you have a taste first."
Xiao Jinyan was a little hungry now, and it smelled delicious, so he nodded, "Okay."
He took the bowl, picked up the chopsticks on the mouth of the bowl, picked up a piece of wild rice dumpling and brought it to his lips to blow it to cool, then put it into his mouth and chewed slowly. The sweet potato dumpling was fried until golden brown on both sides and very crispy when eaten. It is soft and glutinous, different from glutinous rice, and tastes very good.
Although Xiao Jinyan also likes to eat wild rice dumplings, but he doesn't remember it now, Shen Chuwei is a little curious whether he still likes it?
"Is it tasty?"
Xiao Jinyan praised without hesitation: "It's delicious."
Shen Chu smiled slightly when he heard this. He would still like to eat the food he loved after losing his memory.
Xiao Jinyan took a piece of wild rice dumpling, blew it to cool down, and handed it to her mouth, "You must be hungry too."
Shen Chuwei had been hungry for a long time, so Xiao Jinyan fed her, and she naturally opened her mouth happily and continued. The temperature was just right, and the wild rice dumplings were delicious. All the pork belly or ribs would be more delicious if stir-fried together.
Xiao Jinyan fed Shen Chuwei while eating, but Shen Chuwei kept busy.
Qin Xiao started roasting rabbits under Shen Chuwei's instructions. He could only eat the dog food that his masters forcibly fed.
A bowl of wild rice dumplings was quickly eaten by the two of them.
Shen Chuwei made a lot of wild rice dumplings. If we don't make more for four people, how can we eat enough?
The aroma of roasted rabbit hit her nostrils, and Shen Chu was so greedy that her mouth watered, because she hadn't eaten roasted rabbit meat for a long time.
She thought of Wu Tan, who was still chanting sutras, and said, "Little Master Wu Tan, it's time for dinner."
Wu Tan said without looking back: "You guys eat first, just leave some food for the poor monks."
Shen Chuwei thought that Wu Tan was a monk, and would he not be able to bear the smell of roasted rabbit meat?
"Is it because I roasted the rabbit?"
Wu Tan shook his head, "No."
"Oh." Shen Chuwei lowered his head to look at the food he had cooked, then raised his head to look at Wu Tan, "Except for the roasted rabbit, which is a non-vegetarian food, the wild rice dumplings I made are vegetarian. They are delicious when they are hot, and they taste better when they are cold. It doesn’t taste good, and it will be the same if you recite sutras after eating it.”
Xiao Jinyan raised his eyes and looked at Shen Chuwei, and then at Wu Tan, who was sitting there like a clock. He looked back at Shen Chuwei, "He is not a child. He will naturally eat when he is hungry."
Shen Chu said slightly: "But the wild rice dumplings won't taste good when they are cold."
Xiao Jinyan snorted coldly: "He likes to eat cold food, can you care about it?"
Shen Chu lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the steaming mountain vermicelli dumplings. As a food lover, the cold mountain vermicelli dumplings and the ones fresh out of the pot don't taste the same at all.
Seeing that the roasted rabbit had cooled down a bit, Xiao Jinyan reached out and pulled off a rabbit leg and handed it to Shen Chuwei's hand, "The roasted rabbit meat must be eaten while it's hot to be delicious."
Shen Chuwei was already greedy. She nodded in agreement with Xiao Jinyan's point of view. She brought the roasted rabbit leg to her mouth and took a bite. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was delicious.
