Chapter 65 The Twin Deer

Several distinguished guests were going to hunt, and the servants naturally led them there.

Xuan Yue and Bai Qin rode shoulder to shoulder, and after leaving the villa, Xuan Yue said: "Brother Bai, thank you very much last night."

Bai Qin grinned at him, showing his big teeth, and said, "Your Highness, why are you so polite, as long as you treat my cousin sincerely in the future, I will naturally be happy to see what happens."

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was happy with Yan Yu, but that little white-eyed wolf couldn't understand.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Bai, for hunting today, just follow me closely, and you will return with a rewarding experience."

Before leaving, Bai Qin had already said that although he was good at martial arts, he was a bit weak in archery, and this was his first time hunting in the mountains.

Since childhood, Xuan Yue has been hunting across mountains and mountains under the leadership of guards.Now it is natural to be familiar with the door and the way, and understand the habits of various animals.Where pheasants are easy to hide and where there may be traps, he can see through them at a glance.

It is said that there are many hunters in the nearby villages. After they entered the mountain, they did not find any prey for a long time, so they could only go to the deep mountain.After walking a long distance, they began to encounter prey gradually.

After killing a few pheasants and hares, Xuan Yue saw that Bai Qin hadn't harvested yet, so he walked up to him and led him to look for prey.

Soon, everyone saw the sight of the wild deer, Xuan Yue patted Bai Qin's shoulder, and quickly said: "Brother Bai, I'm sure, do you have venison tonight? It's up to you."

Bai Qin finally seized the opportunity, and the prey was bigger, even though he was running extremely fast, he hit it right away.

After the wild deer was hit by the arrow, he looked back reluctantly, looked at them with tears in his eyes, and then slowly fell down.

Bai Qin excitedly prepared to step forward to carry the deer, but Xuan Yue held him back.

A few people searched carefully, and sure enough, they found two shivering deer in a pile of weeds, which seemed to be only a few months old.

These hunters have their own regulations: pregnant females and cubs are not allowed to be hunted.

Now that they had killed the doe by mistake, what would happen to the cubs? If they were to be released without the protection of the doe, it would be difficult for them to survive.

Even if you feel guilty, the matter has come to this point, and there is only a remedy.

The two guards stepped forward to pick up the deer, and they all turned back because they didn't have the mood to continue hunting.

Yan Yu looked at the account books for several hours and became dizzy, so she suggested that her cousin go for a walk in the village.

Shopkeeper Liang saw him and suggested, "Girl, I wonder if you are interested in picking melons and fruits? It's warmer in Zhuangzi than outside, and there is still the last crop of melons and fruits to pick in this field."

After hearing this, the two girls carried a bamboo basket each, and followed the servants to the field.

Shopkeeper Liang is really too modest, the land left for them to pick is still very lush, and there is no decadent scene outside.

Yan Yu personally carried a bamboo basket and scissors, grabbed the round eggplant, and cut it off with a single click.The eggplant was thrown into the basket by her, and it bounced for a while, turning around a few times before stopping, Yan Yu looked quite wild.

A small piece of melon field next to it, a few round melons, with their white belly showing, attracted Yan Yu.

She cut two off and played with them, and excitedly said to Bai Zhen: "Cousin, look, this melon looks really cute, it must be delicious."

The foresighted servant came up and said: "Girl, the villain has brought a knife, can I cut it for you and eat?"

"Well, of course it's good."

The servant gestured well, quickly peeled the skin, picked out the flesh, rinsed it with clean water, cut the melon into small pieces and put it on the plate, and handed the bamboo stick to the girl who was watching eagerly.

Yan Yu and Bai Zhen were not restrained, sitting on the ridge of the field, picking up melons, and feeding them to their mouths piece by piece.

This melon that has just left the vine has a much better taste than the melon bought from outside.The two each ate half a melon and felt satisfied, so they prepared to go home.

Yan Yu's bamboo baskets are full of round eggplants and melons, while Bai Zhen has a variety of peppers, eggplants, beans, and Chinese cabbage.

Back in the village, the guests haven't come back yet.The two girls decided to go to rest first. Bai Zhen also said that he would cook for Yan Yu in the evening. Yan Yu narrowed her eyes with a smile and said, "Cousin, let's rest together. We will go to the kitchen later. I also want to cook for Yan Yu." Let me help you, I've never cooked before."

"Well, I'll wake you up later, let's go together."

After resting, Miss Yan was alive again.

The two girls were busy in the kitchen. Under the guidance of Mrs. Bai, Bai Zhen was able to cook for the whole family at the age of ten, so he naturally became Yan Yu's master.

Under her instruction, Yan Yu took the kitchen knife tremblingly and prepared to cut the eggplant.

Seeing her posture, Bai Zhen was terrified. He took her knife and said, "Cousin, if you are afraid in your heart, then you will surely cut your hand when cutting vegetables. Only by overcoming fear and holding the knife firmly, can you hold the knife firmly." So as not to tremble, hold the eggplant tightly, and move your hand back after each cut, so that the cut melon will be uniform in thickness and will not hurt your hands, do you understand?"

Yan Yu settled down: "Okay, I understand, cousin."

Yan Yu cut the eggplant very well, but each piece was very different, but luckily she didn't hurt her hand.

"Cousin, how about you teach me how to fry these beans and eggplants? I will definitely learn."

Bai Zhen laughed at her childishness, but still told her a few more words, and handed the spatula to her.

The rapeseed oil in the pot was smoking hot, and the oil core was splashing out. Yan Yu tremblingly stepped forward, threw the onion and garlic into it, and moved it a few times with the spatula, and the oil splashed even more , Yan Yu was so frightened that she dropped the spatula and jumped three feet away.

Bai Zhen helped her pour the eggplant and beans into the pot, and after stir frying a few times, he said, "Cousin, come here, the oil won't be splashed now."

"Okay, cousin, you're sure you won't spill oil, are you?"

"I'm sure, come quickly."

Yan Yu stepped forward, tried to stir the vegetables in the pot a few times, and seeing that the oil was indeed not splashed, she boldly stepped forward to stir fry.

Bai Zhen carefully taught her how to put the seasoning.

When Xuan Yue and the others came back, the Zhuangzi was suddenly bustling, and the servants were busy picking up pheasants, hares, and wild deer.

After they packed up, Xuan Yue ordered Xiao Shunzi to send half of the venison back to Beijing, and wanted to give it to the elders to taste.

Yan Yu held the eggplant and beans that she had fried through untold hardships, and shouted happily to Bai Qin: "Cousin, look, this is my fried dish."

A few people sat around a table to eat, Xuan Yue and the others poured wine and drank, pushing and changing glasses, so they were very affectionate.

The eldest uncle told Yan Yu not to drink alcohol in front of outsiders, so she just endured it honestly.

Xuan Yue deliberately sat in front of the plate of eggplant and beans, and did not touch other dishes, only eating that plate.Several other people saw his thoughts, and they were still waiting for the roast venison later, so they didn't compete with him.

Yan Yu gradually saw what Xuan Yue meant, and lowered her head to pick up the rice, but her face was so hot that she could fry an egg.

Doesn't Your Highness feel a little ambiguous doing this?
I only ate grilled fish yesterday, and the two girls don't want to eat grilled venison today.

After strolling around for two laps, we made an appointment to have a bath.
