Fairy takeaway

As Luo Xiang promised, until the next morning, the river prawns in the bucket were still alive and kicking, completely unaware of the doom they were about to face.

He Nuo couldn't shirk it, so he just had to bite the bullet and marinate a small tank of drunken shrimp with pear flower stuffing according to the secret recipe of the otter mother.The brown clay vat was quietly placed in the shade of the yard, exuding a faint aroma of wine, and after a while, it attracted a large circle of densely packed big-headed ants.They were mighty and aggressive, surrounding the mud tile vat, whispering to each other, looking busy, as if they were discussing how to carry the whole vat away.

He Nuo picked up a thick pear tree leaf, squatted in the corner, fanned the leaf, and silently drove the ants away.Because he was chased away with pickled drunk shrimp, he promises to get up early for an unprecedented time.At this time, he was not fully awake yet, and was yawning while sweeping the ants.

The little boss also got up early today, staring at him after Nuo finished his work, he disappeared, didn't eat breakfast, and he didn't know where he went.The gate of the courtyard was wide open, and occasionally a few figures drifted past.

It was an ordinary late spring morning.

Uncle Liu passed by the door with his hands behind his back, muttering in his mouth.His peripheral vision glanced at Ta Nuo who was squatting in the yard, he suddenly stopped, stopped, walked around the gate of Luo's house, and leaned over to look inside.

"Hello, is Boss Xiao Luo at home?" Uncle Liu raised his voice and shouted, which made him jump.

He Nuo quickly threw away the leaf in his hand.The ants were thrown into a panic, but quickly restored order.He Nuo stood up, patted his buttocks, looked curiously at the strange visitor, a little at a loss, bent slightly, and bowed to the visitor.

"Hello, the little boss is not at home." He replied.

Seeing that the other party was so courteous, young, and didn't look like a bad person, Uncle Liu felt relieved, took two steps inside, and said as he walked, "Oh, where did Boss Luo go? Are you Who is it? Watching the door at home?"

He Nuo pinched his fingers in panic and blinked hard.He has never thought about this issue, and the little boss has never told him.If you say that you are the partner of the little boss, will it sound suspicious from a human point of view?

He Nuo was stunned for a long time, murmured, and didn't finish half a sentence.

Uncle Liu became suspicious again.He glanced at Ta Nuo strangely, and the corners of his mouth drooped, looking a little serious.

He Nuo panicked, and lied unconsciously, "I, I am the younger brother of the little boss..."

"Brother?" The younger brother called brother, little boss, so unkind?Besides, they don't even look like each other.Uncle Liu still squinted at him, with the word of doubt written in his eyes.

He Nuo could only gritted his teeth and insisted: "Yes, I am the little boss's distant cousin, and I came to see him recently. My brother is usually very busy, so I will help him look after the store." He thought for a while, and then introduced himself, "I It's Thano, hello."

Seeing this, Uncle Liu felt that there was nothing wrong with it.The main reason is that the kid Ta Nuo looks silly, and doesn't seem to have any evil intentions.Besides, Boss Xiao Luo has met him several times, he is a capable and reliable person, and he will not leave a suspicious person at home alone.Thinking of this, Uncle Liu felt relieved again, his expression softened.

He tried to chat with Ta Nuo, talking about Luo Xiang and the situation of their family.Uncle Liu has always been curious about this young man who just moved here, but Luo Xiang is not a talkative person, and when he strikes up a conversation with him on weekdays, nine out of ten sentences are monosyllabic.He Nuo has questions and answers, but most of his answers are very concise, and most of the time it's just a confused smirk, which doesn't seem to provide much information.

Uncle Liu didn't know. He Nuo was as ignorant of Boss Xiao Luo's matter as he was.

Uncle Liu's curiosity finally gave up, and he casually chatted about other things. "Oh, I went around the market today," Uncle Liu sighed suddenly, "I didn't find any shrimps. Last night I was thinking of asking my wife to make fried river shrimps with wine. I got up early. I didn’t expect the fishmongers to say that they couldn’t catch any shrimps. There wasn’t a single one. It was clean overnight, as if the whole river was emptied. There were still a lot of broken and dead shrimps parked on the river bank, which was scary. I don't know what it is..." He shook his head.

Liujia Village is an urban village, and the traces of a natural village have long been erased by urban planning and construction.However, as early as the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Liujia Village had formed a complete village system, surrounded by mountains and rivers, relying on favorable terrain and unique water resources, and became a well-known market.Maochunren's seafood market was first located in Liujia Village near the fork of the Hongjiu River.

Like most people in Maochun, almost every household in Liujia Village loves seafood, and cannot do without three meals a day.Among them, river prawns are the most popular.Although the current river prawns can be raised artificially to increase their production, for the older generation of Liujia Village residents, the most authentic taste comes from nature.The water quality of the Hongjiu River is good. The wild river prawns that grow naturally here have short whiskers and tight flesh. They can be fried with a simple stir-fry to produce a delicious aroma. They are an indispensable delicacy on the tables of Liujia Village residents.

Nowadays, there are not many wild river prawns, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. There are very few fishmongers who salvage them carefully, but no matter what, you can still buy fresh river prawns if you go to the fresh market early every day.Uncle Liu walked around for a long time today, but he didn't see half of the wild river prawns. He was puzzled, and asked the masters who went into the water today, and they all said that there were no river prawns, as if it was a vision from heaven.If you say that a big monster likes to eat river prawns, then this monster is too rude, and it is not easy to catch prawns. With one claw, half of the prawns in the river are wasted, it is just like playing.

He Nuo took Uncle Liu's words as an anecdote and listened to them with relish.

Uncle Liu saw his dull face, obviously not a qualified chat partner, sighed, shook his head with his hands behind his back, and walked back home.

He Nuo recalled for a moment the story of the big monster going into the water to catch river prawns, and found it very interesting.But he couldn't stay in a daze anymore, he had to put the drunken shrimp into the tank early while it was still early.

Mother Otter's tutorials are extremely detailed and easy to learn.But he promised to be careful.He only took about a quarter of the river prawns, put them in a small ceramic jar, sealed it, and put it in a cool place.After he was done, he Nuo straightened his waist and wiped the sweat from his brow, feeling uneasy.If this tank of shrimp is not well done, the little boss will probably be angry.

There were more than half of the river prawns left, he thought for a while, but he really couldn't remember how the mother otter cooked the fried river prawns, so he took a part of the river prawns and put them directly in cold water, cooked them in a large pot, and scooped them up. Come out to drain, and sprinkle a handful of salt at random.He packed the other half of the river prawns in a smaller airtight can and gave them to the mallard to send back to the otter's house, and asked the mother otter to help fry the river prawns in oil.

It was past noon, and the little boss hadn't come back yet.He Nuo sat under the eaves with a small plate of cold boiled river prawns, peeling their shells and waiting.He was curious about the orientation of the little boss, and secretly prayed that he would come home after the fried river prawns were out of the pan.

His wish came true.After the deep-fried river prawns arrived in the afternoon, Luo Xiang still disappeared.He Nuo secretly tasted a small prawn. After frying it with high heat, the prawns were crispy on the outside, springy on the inside, and wrapped in a thick layer of sauce. They were extremely crispy and delicious.He couldn't help dipping the sauce on the bottom of the plate with his chopsticks again, and then licked the tip of the chopsticks for a long time.

The little boss still didn't come home.Tano couldn't help but start to worry.

The deep-fried river prawns have cooled completely, and the sauce has wrapped the river prawns into a ball.The small river prawns boiled in salt water were peeled and neatly stacked on the plate, and the prawn meat became white and hard.

When the last street lights came on, the mallard delivered the last delivery of the day: a reply letter and a gift from Brother Otter to his promise.

He promised to take the small pink cardboard box, but he had no interest in opening it.He put the cardboard box on the dining table, placed it with the river prawns, ran out of the yard again, and stood at the intersection to look around.

The light stretched his shadow long, like an arrow pointing into the distance.Suddenly, Luo Xiang's figure appeared at the end of the arrow.Cloaked in moonlight and evening wind, he walked slowly towards Tano.

"You're back!" He Nuo exclaimed happily.

Luo Xiang's complexion was not very good, even under the dim light, his pale lips could be seen.

He Nuo stepped forward, looked at Luo Xiang worriedly, and subconsciously wanted to reach out to hold him, but Luo Xiang gently pushed him away.

"Where's my deep-fried river prawns?" Luo Xian raised his chin slightly, glanced at Tano, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his beautiful eyes shone like a cat.

He Nuo stared blankly for a moment, and then pointed to the room after being stunned for a long time.

Seeing the completely cold river prawns, Luo Xiang was uncommonly not disgusted.He stretched out his hand, randomly pinched a river prawn and put it into his mouth, chewed it, showing a satisfied smile.He lightly placed his palm on the wooden table, and almost in the blink of an eye, the two plates of river prawns were steaming and emitting a tempting aroma again.

He Nuo widened his eyes and sucked his nose hard.Although he couldn't smell anything yet, his stomach was beating honestly.He has been busy handling river prawns all day today, and he hasn't eaten anything except for the small dried fish left over from last night in the morning.Just now he didn't feel that he had been stuffed with things in his heart, but when he relaxed now, he Nuo suddenly felt a strong malice.

Luo Xian handed him a pair of chopsticks, and tapped his chin in distaste, "Drool, wipe it off." He directed.

He Nuo raised his sleeve and wiped it casually.

The disgust in Luo Xian's eyes was even worse, but he didn't say anything more.

Although it has been reprocessed, fried river prawns are still delicious.The river prawn itself is fresh and sweet, and it is also good to simply stir-fry it with water.The two sat facing each other, silently and devotedly eating the only meal of the day.

After eating and tidying up the mess, he Nuo finally calmed down and began to unpack the package sent by Brother Otter.He picked up a small bench, put it under the pear tree and sat down.Looking up, he shook the small cardboard box in his hand towards Luo Xian as if showing off, and said loudly: "Brother must have sent me something delicious. Guess what it is?"

Luo Xiang, who had already had enough food and drink, ignored him, and lay with his belly open among the branches of the pear tree, basking in the moonlight leisurely.

He Nuo carefully opened the small cardboard box, which was stuffed with foam paper, and after removing a thick layer of filling, there was still a small box.He Nuo shook the box curiously, but he couldn't hear anything.Brother Otter put a letter in the small cardboard box. He Nuo put down the box, took out the letter, and read it carefully.

He guessed wrong.Brother Otter didn't send him delicious food, but congratulated him on going to live in the city, and then sent him a mobile phone.

mobile phone!

This was the first time in his life that Nuo Otter received a gift from a human high-tech product.His fingers were trembling with excitement.

"It's a mobile phone!" He couldn't help but raised his head again and announced loudly.

A white pear blossom fell from the sky and landed on Tanuo's forehead accurately.He Nuo took off the flowers and buried them in the hair on the top of his head, then lowered his head and carefully opened the small box containing the mobile phone.

This is a delicate white mobile phone with a full touch screen and a large screen. Under the bright light, it shines with an attractive metallic luster.

He Nuo's whole body was stiff, but the movements of his hands were very gentle, for fear of accidentally smashing this guy.He carefully read the instruction manual prepared for him by Brother Otter, raised his index finger, and poked awkwardly.

"You're so stupid." Suddenly, the voice of the little boss came from above his head.

As soon as he Nuo looked up, the mobile phone in his hand was quickly snatched away.He hurriedly got up and reached for it, but he was a head shorter than Luo Xiang, and he didn't even touch the phone.

The little boss only held one end of the phone loosely with the index finger and thumb of his left hand, turned sideways slightly, stretched his arms to lift the phone high, and easily avoided him.He stared at Ta Nuo with a half-smile, shaking the phone between his fingers.The phone was shaky, and it looked like it would fall to the ground in the next second.

He Nuo's heart tightened, and he begged softly.

Luo Xiang said: "I can return it to you, but you have to play the next game."

He Nuo thought to himself, although the little boss is usually very mature, he is still so childish.He immediately nodded in agreement.

Luo Xian smiled lightly, withdrew his hand, skillfully helped him set up the phone, and then downloaded a small game: Meow Catching Fish.He was holding his mobile phone, and although he had no expression on his face, he won the first round with ease.The courtyard was immediately filled with the sound of meow meow.

He Nuoshou watched for a while, couldn't help raising his head to glance at Luo Xiang, and pursed his lips to secretly laugh.

Luo Xiang's slender fingers fluttered across the screen, successfully reaching the fifth level.He suddenly put the phone away, glared at the snickering Tanuo, put on a serious face, threw the phone into his palm, and said, "This kind of childish game is very suitable for you." After finishing speaking, he turned and went back to the room went.

Childish ghost, he murmured, but heard a strange meow.He thought it was the meowing in the game, but he didn't pay attention, but the meowing became louder and louder.No wonder he walked around the yard and found a beautiful big white cat on the fence.

Hey, it's Steward Lin!
