I am old in the Han Dynasty

Chapter 90 Fried Chestnuts

Xiao Qi was unmoved, "I'm going to see what the third master told me to do."

"Sanlang, what are you calling Xiao Qi for?" Liu Che asked.

Of course it is to have a good chat with Xiaoqi, to show off, and who is the opponent to score.

But Liu Che could tell, and Xie Lang couldn't say anything more, so he sighed and said, "It's all right."

"Did you hear me?" Liu Che turned to Xiaoqi.

Xiao Qi had no doubts about him, "Let's go."

"In the kitchen?" Liu Che pointed to the kitchen next to the three's room.

Xiao Qi thought about it carefully, "There seems to be some in the kitchen. I'll go and have a look." He ran to the kitchen with his legs and opened the cabinet, "It's a little bit cold."

Liu Che took it out and looked disappointed, "Chestnut?"

"My third master fried it. It's delicious." Xiaoqi raised his head and said like offering a treasure.

Liu Che squeezed one, "Fried? Not boiled."

"No. It was fried with gravel." Xiao Qi pointed to the top of the cabinet, "There."

Liu Che looked up and saw a pot of black stones on the cabinet, "Put it in the iron pot?" Seeing Xiao Qi nodding, he asked again, "Do you have any chestnuts at home?"

"Yes. Grandpa Erlang gave it." Xiao Qi turned and pointed to the opposite room, "There is a bag. I picked it up on the mountain. The third master said, the third master said that we will also go up the mountain to pick chestnuts tomorrow."

Liu Che broke one and saw that the chestnut meat and the fur inside were stuck together, raised his hand and threw it into the dirty bucket, "What else?"

"In the main room." Xiaoqi said.

Liu Che winked.Xiao Qi went to the main room.

Xie Lang stood up and stretched his waist, turned his face and saw one big and one small striding into the main room, turned to the living room, shook his head and sighed, "Didn't Shanglin Garden even grow lychees?" He looked at the guard beside him.

The ancients were sometimes awesome, even if Xie Lang refused to accept it.The lychee, which only grows in the south of the Five Ridges, was planted alive by the artisans of Shanglinyuan.

When Xie Lang heard Wei Qing talk about it, he once wanted to visit that craftsman to see if he was a real god.

The guard smiled, "There is no result yet."

"The fruit will be born next year, so you won't come?" Xie Lang asked.

The guard blurted out: "Impossible."

Xie Lang rolled his eyes, seeing that there were still three ducks that hadn't shed their hair, "roll up your sleeves and help me tidy up together. Otherwise, lunch will become supper."

It doesn't matter if the guards eat later, Xie Lang is fine if he is hungry today, they are the ones who suffer.Even if the guards don't know how, Xie Lang asked, they still had to squat down to help.

With the help of the guards, Xie Lang chopped off the heads and claws of the four ducks he had packed up, and washed the internal organs of the ducks.After those were cleaned, the guards also plucked the other three ducks.

Xie Lang threw the heads, paws and viscera of the seven ducks into the pottery urn, and then threw a pack of big ingredients into it to stew for the three ducks.

While the guards were lighting the fire, he washed the ducks twice, fished out four and hung them under the vine, and stewed the remaining three ducks for three of them, and stewed two for the eight guards.

Eight people and two ducks are definitely not enough, so Xie Lang added a pack of dried bamboo shoots.Then let the guard watch the fire, and he went to the main room with tea, "Should you be thirsty?"

"Xiaoqi said you made this sticky candy from sweet potatoes?" Liu Che pointed to the red, sticky stuff on Xiaoqi's soup.

Xie Lang nodded, "You won't say that I don't cook enough, right? I've been busy from dawn to dark to make this bowl." Pointing to the ceramic bowl that is usually used for eating.

"When did I say that? The heart of a villain." Liu Che glared at him, turned around and took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, "Say, I will write."

Xie Lang looked at him with a smile, "Do you want to be a grassroots man?"

"A reward for you." Liu Che said.

Xie Lang immediately told him how to do it, and at the end he didn't forget to remind him, "It's cold now, and the malt is not easy to grow. If the craftsmen around you can't make it, don't force them. We will do it in the spring of next year. This is what I didn't know earlier. Made it when it was cold."

"I know." Liu Che put the paper aside to dry, and found a small plate made of bamboo from under the table, "What is this? Xiaoqi said you fried chestnuts with sand and stone."

Xie Lang looked at Xiao Qi and let out a long sigh.

Xiao Qi turned around and hid behind Liu Che.

Xie Lang stretched out his hand to grab him out, "Why are you talking about everything?"

Xiao Qi subconsciously looked at Liu Che.

"Are you afraid of him?" Xie Lang asked curiously.

The child shook his head again and again.

Liu Che became interested, "Are you afraid of me or like me?"

The child shook his head again.

Liu Che froze, "Then why are you so obedient? Ask you what to say."

The child threw himself into Xie Lang's arms and refused to answer.

"Xiao Qi, if you don't tell me, just pretend that you want to be with your grandpa Meng Da's family and don't want me anymore." Xie Lang said.

The child hurriedly hugged his neck, "No."

"Why is that?" Xie Lang could understand that Xiao Qi was kind to Wei Qing, because Xiao Qi liked him.To Liu Che, Xie Lang couldn't figure it out, "If you don't talk about it, I'm going to be angry."

"Grandpa Meng Da is amazing." The child said quickly, and buried his head in Xie Lang's neck.

"What?" Xie Lang thought he didn't hear clearly, "Excellent?"

Liu Che understood, "Please please me, and I will help you beat the bad guys for the third master?"

The child froze for a moment, Xie Lang nodded to Liu Che.Liu Che raised his hand and slapped the child's butt, "Little elf, what else is delicious? Take it all out."

"No more." The child rolled over and sat on Xie Lang's lap.

Liu Che didn't believe it, "Your third master said two, it can't be measured by one." He pointed at the sweet potato candy.

Xie Lang looked around and found that there was nothing else, so he put the child on the wooden board, threw a thin quilt to him and Liu Che respectively, got up and went to the west wing, and pulled out twenty mutant eggs.

Give fourteen to Liu Che's guards, he washes six and peels them off, makes some sauce, and brings them to the living room.

"It's fine to eat directly. If your Majesty finds it bland and tasteless, just dip it in some sauce." Xie Lang broke open one and handed half to the child.

Xiao Qi suddenly realized, "Grandpa Meng Da said this? This is not what the third master made recently."

Liu Che looked at Xie Lang with a smile.

"It's useless to laugh. I wasted more than 100 eggs, and it took one and a half months to make them." Xie Lang said, "I reported to His Majesty at that time, but I had nothing to give to His Majesty. Because the few that were made were all killed by Brother Monkey." Eat it with a tiger."

Liu Che understood immediately, and he asked those two to test the poison again, "Is this made of eggs?"

Xie Lang nodded, "Your Majesty, come and eat if you want to eat it. If there is a slight mistake in this thing, it can kill people."

"Then I will come to your house to eat when I want to eat." Liu Che looked at him and said.

Xie Lang laughed and said, "It's useless if the grassroots say no, isn't it?"

"Smart." Liu Che was extremely satisfied with this answer, and then pointed to the disc with the shell, "What is this?"

Xie Lang: "Sunflower seeds."

"The ones on the flowers? Planted according to your wishes." Liu Che said, "Like pine nuts?"

Xie Lang shook his head, "It's much easier to plant than pine nuts. The melon seeds harvested from a sunflower plant are enough for His Majesty to eat for several days. Don't eat too much of this stuff."

"I know. Are there any seeds?" Liu Che asked.

Xie Lang dug out the seeds he planned to plant next year, "here." Without allowing Liu Che to speak, he poured out half of it, wrapped it in bamboo paper and handed it to him.

"Third son, let's see if the duck is alright."

The guard's voice came in.Xie Lang pointed to the things on the desks, and Liu Che immediately took them and put them under the desks.

Xie Lang went to the stove to warm up the steamed buns on a drawer, then filled three bowls of bamboo shoot and duck soup and brought them to the living room one after another.

Seeing that there were only soup and steamed buns, Liu Che didn't dislike it, because he was almost full from eating boiled eggs, sweets, and melon seeds.He ordered Xie Lang to give him seven or eight, but he refused to eat it.

But as soon as Xie Lang cleaned up the kitchen, he saw Liu Che and Xiao Qi bring out a pot of chestnuts from the west side room.

Xie Lang resisted the urge to curse and said, "The bowl is not dry yet."

"Xiao Qi said that this will take a long time to fire." Liu Che said, "They are here, let them fire." He glanced at his guards.

As soon as Xie Lang refused to let him do it, he turned out the iron pot used to cook bamboo in summer, put it on a simple stove, and poured black stones into it.

Liu Che had eaten boiled and steamed chestnuts, but never fried chestnuts, and he didn't really want to eat them.But Xiao Qi, who eats delicacies from mountains and seas with Xie Lang every day, said that fried chestnuts are delicious. Liu Che never tried fried chestnuts, and always felt that he had to come again years ago.

The weather has been too good recently, and things will go against each other.Liu Che felt that it would snow in two days, and if he had something to do in the court, he didn't have time to come, and he was thinking about it. He must be uncomfortable, so he asked Xiao Qi to take him to find raw chestnuts.

"How long will it take?" Liu Che asked as he handed Xie Lang a piece of firewood.

While lighting the fire, Xie Lang said, "Fry until the aroma is released."

"Such a thick shell." Liu Che found it difficult.However, it didn't take long before he smelled a strong fragrance, "Is it cooked?"

Xie Lang squeezed one out, blew it and broke it apart, "It will take a while."

Eight guards took turns frying, and after a while, a pot of hot chestnuts came out of the pot.

Liu Che kept half of it for Xie Lang.

Seeing that he was so sensible, Xie Lang found a basket and picked [-] bastards for Liu Che.

When the basket was handed to Liu Che's bodyguard, Xie Lang didn't want to say it, but still couldn't hold back, "When Your Majesty comes back next time, help me buy a few jars and a few bamboo baskets."

"Please?" Liu Che looked at him with a smile.

Xie Lang wanted to roll his eyes, "Your Majesty, you don't have to buy it. Next time, I will use your clothes to make eggs. Let the people of the world see what it means to walk around without food."

The eight guards quickly lowered their heads.

Liu Che glared at Xie Lang, "Look at how stingy you are. I only come a few times a year? Others beg me to go, but I won't go."

"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness." Xie Lang bent down and saluted him seriously.

Liu Che choked, raised his leg and wanted to kick him, "I've made a note." He turned around and walked out.

"If Caomin really has something to do and wants to find Zhongqing, but Zhongqing is not at home, how should he go to His Majesty?" Xie Lang pretended to be casual and asked what had been buried in his heart for a long time.

Liu Che wanted to say, just say you are Xie Sanlang.When the words came to his lips, he realized that only the eight people around him and Dongfang Shuo knew about him, so he stretched out his hand and pulled a jade pendant from his body, "This."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Seeing that there were only a few dragons on the jade pendant, Xie Lang couldn't help but suspect that it was useless.But Liu Che didn't seem to have anything else on him.Xie Lang can't embarrass him anymore, "Come and try it tomorrow."

Liu Che hurriedly asked, "Really?"

"When you are about to die." Xie Lang said, "If you don't go to the palace to see your Majesty once, your life will be in vain."

Liu Che wanted to kick him again, "Then I hope you never need it."

"Impossible. Everyone is mortal." Xie Lang said with a smile, "Let the grass people choose, the grass people would rather choose to die before His Majesty and Zhongqing." Seeing Liu Che turning to him, "I don't like parting." "The living suffer more than the dead."

Liu Che couldn't help pointing at him, "You..."

"It's too early to say these things now." Xie Lang changed the subject, "However, it's getting late. Brother Meng Da should go back."

Liu Che lowered his hands, gritted his teeth, and pointed at the smiling man, "Sooner or later, I will be pissed off by your capriciousness." He strode towards the door, stopped abruptly as he passed the grape trellis, and pointed at the four hanging under the vines. A duck without a head, "How did you hang the duck there?"

"What's the matter?" Xie Lang said, "Worried about falling? No way. This grape trellis is very strong."

The eight guards looked over, couldn't help but glance at each other, and then turned to Liu Che, Xie Sangong did it on purpose?

Liu Che immediately knew that he read it correctly, "Is there a duck pen underneath?"

Xie Lang nodded, "I originally wanted to hang it above the chicken coop. But the weasel likes to pass over there. I was worried that the weasel would climb me, so I had to hang it here."

"It's not easy to hang under the eaves? You hang dead ducks above the duck pen, and you want to scare them all to death, so they will be stewed tomorrow?" Liu Che said, and couldn't help but suspect that Xie Lang thought so.
