After a "gudong" sound, the water surface returned to calm.
There was silence all around, and Jiang wiped the water on his face again, and while waiting on the boat, he slowly peeled the lotus seeds and ate them.
The lotus seeds in this season have a refreshing fragrance, and after removing the lotus core, they taste sweet.
I peeled some more ginger and ate it delicately, slowly until I was half full.
Time passed by, and the water surface was calm. Occasionally, a fish would float to the surface, blow a few bubbles, flick its tail and sink to the bottom again, causing a few shallow ripples.
Jiang You's clothes were dried by the wind, but there was still no trace of Yan Zhantian. He was somewhat suspicious that his body had sunk to the bottom of the pond.
Even if there are no fish, there is no need to be so persistent.
After eating the last lotus seed in his hand, Jiang hesitated to go into the water to look for it. Suddenly, the boat shook and something swam behind him.
Jiang turned around and looked back, and saw Yan Zhantian breaking through the water and coming out.
The mask on his face was taken off at some point, revealing his peerless appearance. The hair crown was also gone, and his black hair was stuck to the back of his head. Water droplets hung on his eyelashes and fell from his face. His lips were light-colored.
It is shallow and has the freshness of hibiscus coming out of clear water.
He grabbed the hull and climbed onto the boat, holding a straw rope in his hand. With a lift, he lifted a string of fish out of the water.
"I caught two each of silver carp, herring, crucian carp and grass carp. We can have a whole fish feast at night." Yan Zhantian smiled at Jiang You, the sun was bright and sunny, and he looked very boyish.
"Not bad. Braised in braise, steamed, souped, barbecued, all in one." Jiang read out several ways to prepare fish and began to look forward to dinner.
"Where is your mask?" Jiang asked again. There were many people in the house, and the emperor must have had a lot of spies. If anyone saw his intact face, there would probably be a lot of trouble.
"There is no one else here, no need to hide." Yan Zhantian touched his face, showing a disappointed look, "I thought Qingqing liked it."
"I like mystery." Jiang continued, "The feeling of holding the pipa and half-covering your face is even more attractive."
"It turns out Qingqing likes that kind of tone." Yan Zhantian took out the mask from nowhere and slapped it on his face, and the sunny boy instantly transformed into the evil prince.
"Pick some more lotus pods and go back." Jiang thought the lotus seeds were delicious and could be used as snacks.
"Okay." Yan Zhantian picked up the oar and returned to his role as a boatman.
I almost rowed a circle and picked a boat full of lotus pods, which was a fruitful harvest.
Jiang held a few lotus flowers in his arms and was led off the boat by Yan Zhantian, who then carried him back on his back.
The fish and lotus pods were brought back by servants, so they didn't need to worry about them.
Yan Zhantian carried Jiang You on his back and felt that she was too thin. He weighed her and found that she was still light and weightless. She needed to eat some good nutrition.
Back in the east courtyard where they lived, Jiang started peeling lotus seeds again. The fish was handed over to the kitchen to prepare a full fish feast. The chef looked worried at the eight palm-wide fish.
Later, I learned that it was braised, steamed, barbecued and other homely methods, and I was shocked to realize that he had frightened himself. Why was the master making things difficult for him? It was because he was stupid and did not understand the master's meaning.
Yan Zhantian and Jiang peeled lotus seeds together again, and found two pots of lotus seeds. Jiang asked someone to send some to his ancestor and several aunts.
It is not rare for a family to give any rare treasures to each other. If they are not brought with them during life or death, they will be of little use. These ordinary things with thoughts are very good.
Since Jiang didn't want to go out, except for the first morning, he ate all his meals in the east courtyard.
After peeling the lotus seeds, the food is served. The aroma of grilled fish is unparalleled, as well as braised fish, fish with chopped pepper, etc., the aroma is mixed. The entrance is even more sour, spicy and salty, each different, starting a feast for the taste buds.
Not only the maids serving the dishes were swallowing their saliva, but the secret guards on duty in the dark were also singing about the empty city strategy.
Then he could only take out the steamed bun he had brought with him resentfully and gnaw on it as if to vent his anger.
In the eyes of the audience who have a global perspective, they have found the hiding places of most of the secret guards. Seeing this scene, they all sang "Holding Wowotou in Hands~" in tacit understanding.
