Chapter 63 Prince Zhou: I was just passing by

Zhou Jin was surprised and discussed with Zhou Shaoyu: "Master, there is no place to buy chickens in the middle of the night. Can I go buy them at dawn?"

The master has been in Kyoto for 10 years, and the prince and princess are not around. He basically grew up with people like Zhou Jin.

The master has been smart since he was a child. He seems to be generous but he is very measured in his actions. He wants to buy chicken feet in the middle of the night, which is the first time he meets her.

Zhou Shaoyu was helpless, looking at the dark night sky, why was it not bright yet?
Zhou Jin saw him starting to deal with matters and said casually: "Master, yesterday His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned Xie Anfeng and his daughter, read out the imperial edict, and gave Miss Xie a token that does not require kneeling before officials."

"Oh, he is a good person."

"In order to thank him, Miss Xie made him fruit and cake."

"Fu Hong asked her for it, right?"

Fu Hong is really disgusting. As a prince, he still asks for food from the people. shameless!

"Later..." Zhou Jin looked at his master quietly.

"Don't hesitate when speaking."

"Later, General Xie gave the prince a set of invulnerable clothes. I heard that Miss Xie exchanged them for three food recipes from a passing foreigner."

As soon as the words came out, Zhou Shaoyu paused the brush in his hand, and a large piece of ink was smeared on the silk.

Zhou Jin knew it and immediately said: "It was sent by General Xie. Miss Xie didn't go and was waiting in the inn. The prince wanted to eat the porridge she made, but she said it was hot and the porridge could not be cooked well."

"You go out."

Zhou Shaoyu's tone seemed calm. Zhou Jin knew that he was unhappy and immediately said, "Zhou Huo discovered that there were archers ambushing outside Xiangyang City. The prince will pass there when he returns to Beijing tomorrow."

Zhou Jin also told how King Xi went to take Xie Xiangxiang away from the exile team today.

Zhou Shaoyu put down his pen, held his chin in one hand, and tapped on the table with the other.

Suddenly he stopped being angry and said, "You're really smart."

Zhou Jin was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and understood, then nodded and said, "Miss Xie is indeed smart."

After thinking about it, Zhou Shaoyu decided to go directly to see Miss Xie tomorrow and ask her for some chicken feet to nibble on.

At dawn, Zhou Jin went to the street and bought all the chickens from all the chicken stalls, regardless of roosters or hens.

But there weren’t many. I searched all over Yicheng and only bought more than 30 chickens.

Zhou Shaoyu had no choice but to make do with more than 30 chickens and 60 chicken feet, not much.

He and Zhou Jin rode two fast horses to catch up with the exile team.

The exile team took advantage of the cool weather to travel before dawn. By mid-morning, they had already traveled almost 20 miles.

Smoke and dust billowed, and two fast horses roared over.

Zhou Shaoyu's horse came over, but Li Rong did not ask everyone to stop, but said hello to Zhou Shaoyu.

"Is there something wrong, Prince Zhou?"

"Passing by."

Li Rong: I believe you!

He knew clearly in his heart: Zhou Shaoyu came to see the Xie family, to see Xie Anfeng, and maybe even to see Miss Xie San.

Stop Xie Anfeng and Xie Yanyan's carriage and ask the Xie family to wait while the others continue to move forward with Liu Mingjie.

Xie Ning was driving, and Xie Yanyan was in the double-wheel drive carriage with Little Baozi and Song Linngling. She was teaching Little Baozi how to read and write, and Song Linngling was making children's clothes next to her.

Li Rong asked them to stop, but Xie Yanyan did not stop teaching Little Baozi, and Little Baozi was also very good at it. Auntie didn't say stop, so he continued to read.

"The goose and the goose are singing to the sky, their white feathers are floating on the green water, and the anthurium is stirring the clear waves."

Zhou Shaoyu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this little voice. What kind of poem is this? The image of the goose is very vivid and full of layers.

Xie Anfeng got out of the car and looked at Zhou Shaoyu's smiling face, wondering, how many times had he seen Zhou Shaoyu on the way to exile?

"Well, Prince Zhou! Where are you going?"

"Thank you for being well, General! I'm going to Jin and passing by."

Xie Anfeng was stunned. The last time Yan'er said that it would be dangerous for Prince Zhou to go to Jin, he had already warned him tactfully, why would he go again?
Zhou Shaoyu did not explain, but just said: "I accidentally got a few chickens given by my fellow villagers. It is inconvenient to bring them on the road. You have a carriage, so take them with you."

Zhou Jin twitched at the corner of his mouth.

"I gave my aunt a jar of the beef sauce that Miss Xie gave me. It's hot and my aunt has a bad appetite. The beef sauce is really good. My aunt asked me to thank Miss Xie." Zhou Shaoyu gave the reason.

Xie An believed it. The chili sauce made by Yan'er was truly unparalleled.

"We couldn't eat that many chickens on the road of exile..." Xie Anfeng refused to accept the chickens.

Is it possible to keep more than 30 chickens in the car? Xie Yanyan listened to what they said and said: "Father, let's keep these chickens from Prince Zhou. I will make spicy chicken diced later. If Prince Zhou is not in a hurry to leave, I will make some chicken feet salad for the prince to take." go back?"

Zhou Shaoyu suddenly smiled and said seriously: "Thank you for your hard work, Miss."

Xie Yanyan glanced at him but said nothing, and Zhou Shaoyu felt that he had been seen through by her.

Grinning again.

Li Rong was actually greedy for boneless chicken feet, but this was the chicken brought by Prince Zhou, and he didn't dare to take advantage of it.

"Find a well to make chicken feet." Xie Yanyan said.

He glanced at Zhou Shaoyu and then at Li Rong.

Zhou Shaoyu immediately said to Li Rong majestically: "Master Li, go take care of the prisoners first. Later, Miss Xie will help me make the chicken feet, and I will be responsible for sending them back."

Li Rong did not dare to disobey, so he raised his hands and said, "Then I will leave first."

"Let's go, let's go." Zhou Shaoyu waved.

Only the Xie family and Zhou Shaoyu were left at the scene.

Several people drove the carriage to the nearest post pavilion. Zhou Shaoyu had the token, and the post director immediately provided convenience and freed up the kitchen for Xie Yanyan.

Xie Ning helped wash the pots and collect firewood.

Xie Yong helped Xie Yanyan move a large wooden barrel from the car.

"Second brother, help me wash the chicken feet."

Xie Yong opened the lid of the barrel and found that the barrel was full of raw chicken feet.

A large wooden barrel contains at least three hundred chicken feet.

He was shocked. When did his sister buy so many chicken feet? And why are these chicken feet so fat?
Xie Yanyan said softly: "Brother, I bought this from a foreigner in Xiangyang City."

Xie Yong was confused, but apart from buying from outsiders, there seemed to be no other place where he could get so many.

Cut off the tips of the chicken feet, rub them in salt water and clean them.

Put cold water in a pot, add ginger, chives, cooking wine, star anise, and cinnamon, bring to a boil over high heat, and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes.

She took out the chicken feet and soaked them in the fresh well water. To make the chicken feet crispy, she transferred some ice cubes from the space and put them in.

Zhou Shaoyu kept watching, shocked.

First of all, there were so many chicken feet, so white, and so fat, they were definitely not the feet of the 30 chickens he brought.

Also, where did she get the ice?
But Xie Yanyan's face was serious, and there was Zhou Jin standing next to him who craned his neck to look, so he didn't ask.

While the chicken feet were being frozen, Xie Yanyan began to prepare the marinade.

Pour light soy sauce and oil into a basin, add sugar, balsamic vinegar, salt, and two bowls of cold water.

Shred the onion, cut the lemon into thin slices and remove the core, chop the spicy millet into rings, wash and cut the coriander into small sections, add them all to the ingredients, and add sesame oil.

When the chicken feet are cool, start removing the bones.

Xie Yanyan demonstrated how to remove the bones and asked the whole family to do it.

Zhou Shaoyu looked at Zhou Jin, who immediately rolled up his sleeves: "Miss Xie, I'll do it too."

Xie Yanyan nodded and told them the bone removal technique and not to use too much force.

The little bun said: "Auntie, I also want to peel off the chicken feet."

Xie Yanyan said you don’t have to work. Have you seen that brother? Just wait and eat like him.

Zhou Jin burst out laughing.

Zhou Shaoyu said with a smile: "Call me uncle."
