The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 68: Recognize a killer as your sister

This time it was Xiao Mei's turn to be surprised. She had no parents and no one to care for her since she was a child. She followed her master to learn how to kill people, and lived a life of licking blood with the blade of a knife for today and tomorrow. Now she is in debt, but she grows flowers and raises ducks every day.

He felt extremely peaceful in his heart. Although he and his senior brother were just a couple in name only, he still felt very happy when someone called him Mrs. Lu, thinking that this kind of happy and stable life would last forever. But now he said that this kind of beautiful clothes and jade

Xiao Mei was very puzzled by the fact that she was in the same situation as herself when she was living a pampered life.

"Sister Mei, you must be surprised by what I said!" Zhao Tong sat up straight and took two peaches from the short table beside him, handed one to Xiao Mei and said, "Have you ever heard of such a saying?

The most ruthless imperial family!"

"The most ruthless emperor's family?!" Xiao Mei repeated while holding the peach.

"Yes, I was born in an emperor's family, and I have been living in the shadow of conspiracy and death since I landed. Don't look at it. I am only eight years old, but I have already died twice. It is God's favor that allowed me to barely escape death.

I have survived to this day!" Zhao Tong said with a helpless expression while chewing something in his mouth.

"But you are the prince, who dares to kill you?" Xiao Mei said in shock. She felt that she had done a huge thing by killing Zhang Kangguo. She did not expect that anyone would dare to assassinate the prince.

"Hey, who else could it be? It's not my brothers. Even if they are close brothers for a day, if you turn around, they will give you a knife!"

"You are brothers, how could you do this?"

"Think about it, there are only eight or nine of us brothers now, but there is only one chair in the Jinluan Palace. Everyone wants to sit on it, and if one of them dies, there will be one less opponent!" Zhao Tong said with a frown, "I don't want to be with them.

I dare to eat and drink, I have to keep my eyes open when I sleep, I have to look at the sky when I walk, I might as well feel at ease with you!"

"No wonder you are so naughty. It turns out that even your own brothers have to be on guard at all times. There is no point in living like this!"

"Yes, you are a lonely young man. Although I have many brothers, they all want to kill me and then kill me. Just because I was not killed by them, they slandered me in front of my father, calling me a monster, and drove me to this remote place in a poor country.

If it weren't for the protection of my mother, grandpa and Uncle Huang, I would have been killed by them many times." Zhao Tong said with tears in his eyes, "Sister Mei, you are homeless now, and I have a home and it is difficult to return.

, who of the two of us is living a much better life than the other?

"Every time I see you, you are always happy. I thought that since you were born in the royal family, you must be happy and carefree, but I didn't know that you are so miserable inside. Today, if you call me sister, I will see who doesn't have eyesight."

How dare you harm you again under my eyes!" Xiao Mei didn't know whether it was because she was infected by Zhao Tong's emotions and felt that she had found a soulmate, or because she had an explosion of maternal nature. Anyway, she made the promise in excitement, and she kept it throughout her life.

Commitments made under irrational circumstances.

"Sister, you treat me so well, better than my biological sister. No, you will be my biological sister from now on!" Zhao Tong threw himself into Xiao Mei's arms and said with tears streaming down his face. At this time, the 40-year-old man in his mind

Next year, the middle-aged uncle will hide somewhere, but now he is the eight-year-old child who has longed for the long-lost family affection.

"Good brother, no one will dare to bully you when you have a sister in the future!" Xiao Mei held Zhao Tong's face and wiped away her tears, then kissed her gently and said. Zhao Tong was stunned, as if he saw the person from his previous life again.

Sister, I saw my childhood self crying and hiding behind my sister, "I have a sister." Zhao Tong stood up and shouted loudly to the pond. The echo echoed, and the fish that had just bit the hook dropped its mouth in surprise and was playing in the water.

The duck wished he could become his ancestor and fly.

"Okay, stop shouting. It's so embarrassing for others to hear you!" Xiao Mei quickly grabbed Zhao Tong, who was suffering from convulsions, and said with a smile.

"I just want everyone to know that I have a very powerful sister. Let's see who dares to bully me!" Zhao Tao said arrogantly with his hands on his hips and pointing at his own three-acre land, as if he was the emperor's father.

Her name is not as loud as that of her newly recognized sister.

"Okay, don't be so pretty and make people laugh!" Although Xiao Mei felt a little embarrassed for Zhao Tao to say it, she felt very relieved and pulled him over and said.

"The fish bit the hook, it must be a big fish this time!" Seeing the fishing rod hanging on the edge of the pond swinging wildly, Zhao Tong rushed to grab the fishing rod and shouted. This fish is indeed not small, and Zhao Tong is alone

Unable to pull it ashore, it was finally with the help of Xiao Mei that the big fish, which weighed more than three kilograms, was brought out.

"Sister Mei, I will use the fish I caught today to make two dishes to celebrate!" Zhao Tong wiped his sweat and pointed to the fish in the bucket.

"Okay, I heard from Xin Zhao that the dishes you cook are novel and delicious, so I'm going to have a full meal. I just don't know how much you plan to charge me today!" Xiao Mei raised her eyebrows and said with a smile on her lips.

"Is this it?" Zhao Tong pretended to think for a moment and said, "They say brothers settle accounts, but we are siblings, even if I invite you!" He said generously, patting his chest.

"Naughty boy!" Xiao Mei scratched his nose affectionately and laughed.

The prince likes to cook by himself, and all the little Huangmen who follow him know that, so he specially prepared a set of cooking utensils. As long as he said he wanted to use it, he could make a fire and cook immediately. Seeing that the prince was in interest again today, he immediately put a set of cooking utensils

The necessary items were arranged under the shade of the tree, and the required ingredients were fetched according to the prince's instructions.

Zhao Tong washed his hands, and Xiao Huangmen came up and put on an apron for him. He thought about it for a while, figured out the dish to make, and spotted the biggest grass carp in the bucket. He suddenly grabbed the head of the fish and picked it.

The two gills of the fish were used to lift it out of the bucket. Before the fish could struggle, Zhao Tong picked up a kitchen knife and hit the fish's head hard with the back of the knife. The fish that was still alive and kicking just now turned into a dead fish.

He moved a little and threw the fish on the chopping board with his backhand. He kept moving the kitchen knife in his hand back and forth several times to scrape off the fish scales. He used a knife to disembowel the fish, remove the fish's internal organs, and then put it in the purified water.

After rinsing it up and down several times to wash away the dirty blood, Xiaohuangmen had already replaced it with a new chopping board. Zhao Tong cut the fish from the spine this time, and in just a few breaths, he had already picked out the fish meat.

Only a pair of bare fish bones and a huge fish head were left on the chopping board.

"My little brother is so skilled in swordsmanship. Have you ever learned martial arts?" Looking at Zhao Tong's fluid movements, he couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know any martial arts. I have only learned a few basic boxing moves from Master Meng. I have just done it more and become more proficient!" Zhao Tong raised his head and said with a smile, but the work in his hands did not stop.

Crush the fish meat into minced meat with the back of a knife, filter out the bone spurs with gauze, and put it into a bowl. Beat an egg, put the egg white into the meat, add some refined salt, stir evenly, and set it aside for later use.

Then Zhao Tong cleaned up the two fish again, asked the little Huangmen general to put it on the hot pot, sliced ​​one of the carp from the back with a diagonal knife, then sliced ​​it into thin strips, poured rice wine on it, and then cut the remaining carp into pieces.

He mixed the egg yolks with cornstarch, put them on the batter, and then patted them with dry flour. The oil had already boiled. He put the fish in the oil pan and shook it for a few times, then immersed the fish in the oil pan.

"My little brother is so flexible. If he learns martial arts, he will definitely become a master!" Xiao Mei sighed as she looked at Zhao Tong's movements.

"Hehe, little brother, I'm too weak. I can't even draw the Three Dou Bow. I'm not the material for learning martial arts at all. With my sister by my side, I won't have to put in that effort in the future!" Zhao Tong said as he fished out the fried fish.

"I'm afraid you've been pampered for a long time and are afraid of hardship and tiredness, right?" Xiao Mei snorted.

"Sister, you are really good at knowing things. She even knows this!" Zhao Tong kept busy with his hands and feet, and flattered him without any delay. Xiao Mei shook her head with a wry smile and said nothing more.

Zhao Tong then put another fish in the basket and steamed it, and poured the sweet and sour gravy on the fried fish. However, there was no starch in this era, so he had to use soybean flour instead. He played with the shape of the fish a little and said:

"The golden retriever lion fish is ready, please give it a try, sister!" Zhao Tong said as he handed over a pair of chopsticks.

Eighty-eight women love to eat sweet and sour food, and Xiao Mei is no exception. Looking at this beautifully shaped fish, she really couldn’t bear to put down her chopsticks, but she still couldn’t resist the temptation of the delicious food, so she picked up a small piece and put it in her mouth.

, "It's delicious, it's delicious. I've eaten at all the major restaurants in the north and south, but I've never had such delicious fish!"

"Of course, my skills are inferior to even those of the imperial chef!" Zhao Tong said arrogantly, but he was not bragging. The dishes he cooked had not appeared in the Song Dynasty, so naturally the imperial chef could not make them either.

"Second Master, the water is boiling!" the small yellow door on one side reminded.

"Okay, you take the steamed fish out of the pot, and I'll make some soup!" Zhao Tong ordered Xiao Huangmen. He rolled the minced fish into balls and threw them into the pot one by one, waiting for the water to boil a little.

, add sesame oil and cook immediately, all three dishes are finished.

"Second Master," at this time, a small yellow doorman said with a smile while holding two plates.

"Cut, the old rule is, the fish heads belong to me, and the fish tails belong to you!" Zhao Tong said, dividing each fish into two portions, and put them on the plate at the end of the small yellow door.

"Thank you, Master!" Xiao Huangmen said with a playful smile.

"Do you often share food with the second master?" Xiao Mei asked Xiao Huangmen in confusion.

"Of course, no matter what the second master eats outside, he will leave a portion for us and never eat alone!" Xiao Huangmen said with a smile. He also knew that the prince was very fond of this duck-herd and did not dare to talk nonsense.

"Little brother, you are deliberately trying to punish me, please return the IOU to me immediately!" Xiao Mei turned her head and shouted at Zhao Tao with a glare.

"Haha, I just want to keep my sister in my house for a while, and I will pay you back the IOU when I get back!" Zhao Tong made a face and said jokingly.

The two of them sat down under the set table. Xiao Huangmen set out the bowls and chopsticks for them and poured the wine. Zhao Tan left them to their own devices. The two of them chatted while eating. Zhao Tan slightly adapted the joke from his previous life and told it to Xiao Mei.

Listen, Xiao Mei also talked about some interesting things she heard in the world. The two of them chatted happily and got closer.

"Sister Mei, what's going on between you and Brother Lu? I see why he has become so cold towards you these days." After a few glasses of wine, Zhao Tong became bolder and inquired about the private affairs of the two of them.

"Alas" Xiao Mei sighed sadly and drank another glass of wine.
