To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 37 and so on

   Sheng Saburo is still sluggish.

   The big wild boar is scary, why did my cousin think of the beggar elbow?

  Wait, he has only heard of beggar chicken, what is beggar elbow?

  Luo Sheng was quite considerate of this.

  The news of tearing off a man's belt may have a little bit of a shock to any man, and it takes time for people to get used to it.

  Looking at the wild boar that was still twitching, Luo Sheng explained patiently: "I promised my cousin before that I will cook you a dish."

   Sheng Saburo's stiff expression regained its flexibility.

   Come to think of it, this was in exchange for Cousin Luo staying in Nanyang City for two days.

Sheng Sanlang immediately recollected the hot pot fish that made him miss his heart, and then looked at the wild boar on the ground who had been stabbed so many times, he was a little bit unwilling: "Cousin, why don't you make fish? Let's make hot pot fish. A fish is whole and whole. Delicious and tasty…”

  Luo Sheng interrupted Sheng Saburo's delusion: "There is no fish. The wild pork is fresh, enough for so many of us."

  Sheng Saburo still wanted to struggle, but when he met the girl's calm and bright eyes, he suddenly became sober.

   Cousin can't be messed with!

   "Then... just listen to my cousin."

  Hearing the regret in Sheng Sanlang's tone, Luo Sheng said in relief: "Compared to soy pot fish, I think my cousin would prefer beggars."

  Sheng Saburo's eyes lit up: "Is the beggar's elbow really that delicious?"

  Luo Sheng nodded.

   "What is Huayaozi? The name is so strange."

  Luo Sheng showed some surprise: "Cousin, haven't you heard of Beggar Chicken?"

  Sheng Saburo had the embarrassment of revealing his ignorance: "Ahem, I've heard of Beggar's Chicken, and I've also eaten Beggar's Chicken from Wuxianzhai. It tastes great..."

  Seeing that Sheng Sanlang fell into fond memories of the beggar chicken, Luo Sheng said mercilessly: "Although the beggar chicken smells delicious, it actually lacks oil and water, and tastes a bit dry. The beggar's elbow is different—"

   "How is it different?" When it comes to eating, Sheng Saburo immediately throws the shadow of his cousin tearing off the man's belt out of the blue sky.

   "The elbow is fat and tender, so the beggar elbow smells good and tastes better."

   Gudong, this is the sound of Sheng Sanlang swallowing saliva.

  Hongdou was already eager to wait: "Girl, you should be a beggar, can the maid come to light the fire?"

  Xiuyue looked at Luo Sheng with a little more excitement.

  The evaluation of Beggar Chicken and Beggar Elbow is what the princess said, verbatim!

  What is the relationship between this girl Luo and the princess?

   But this is impossible at all. Considering her age, Miss Luo was only three or four years old when the princess was killed.

  Xiuyue stared blankly at Luo Sheng, momentarily at a loss.

  Xiuyue's strangeness was naturally noticed by Luo Sheng.

   It can be said that she made this beggar's elbow today, which happened to have a fresh wild boar as an ingredient. On the one hand, on the other hand, she hinted to Xiuyue step by step that she is the princess of Qingyang.

  There are more doubts, more doubts, and one day these will break through the cage of reason, and let Xiuyue boldly imagine who she is.

   "Cousin, you come to build a stove and make a fire, ugly mother-in-law, you come to help, we will deal with this wild boar together."

   Everyone quickly got busy following Luo Sheng's instructions.

A wild boar should be discarded. Large chunks of meat were skewered and roasted on the fire, and those pig bones were thrown into a large pot taken from the carriage dedicated to Lawushi to cook soup. .

   Staring at the pork bones tumbling in the cauldron, Sheng Saburo sighed.

   When it comes to food, Cousin Luo is too thoughtful!

  Luo Sheng put the four elbows into a wooden basin to marinate, and when he was free, he ordered Hongdou: "Go to the car behind and get that black clay pot."

  Red Dou answered yes, and quickly brought a small clay pot.

  The earthenware pot is unfancy, but when it is opened, it is filled with honey of excellent color.

  Luo Sheng signaled to Hongdou to send this jar of honey to Xiuyue who was turning over the skewers, and said: "The taste of barbecue will be better if it is coated with honey."

   "Yes, yes, yes, I like the ones with honey!" Sheng Saburo's eyes rolled with a smile.

  The idle guards could not help swallowing their saliva while looking at the strings of barbecued meat on the fire.

  It’s really lucky that you don’t need to eat dry food for a long journey, and you can also drink freshly roasted meat and bone soup!

  Sheng Saburo glanced at the elbow in the tub: "Cousin, didn't you say you want to be a beggar's elbow?"

   "It will taste better if it is marinated for a long time. In fact, it is best to marinate for a whole day."

  When the smell of barbecue became stronger and stronger, and the pot of bone soup turned milky white, Luo Sheng finally took out the marinated elbow.

   Spread a layer of dried lotus leaves softened with water, spread a layer of lard oil, wrap the elbows tightly, paste thick mud and bury them in the fire, and the rest is waiting to be eaten.

   "My cousin even prepared the dried lotus leaves." By this time, Sheng Sanlang was overwhelmed with admiration, and had no doubt that the beggar's elbow would be delicious.

  Well, at least it won’t be worse than Beggar Chicken, my cousin promised.

   "The barbecue is ready to eat." Xiuyue suddenly shouted.

  The sound of swallowing saliva suddenly rose and fell.

  Red Dou immediately took a bunch of barbecued meat and handed it to Luo Sheng: "Girl, eat barbecue."

  Luo Sheng was unmoved: "You guys eat first, I will eat a few pieces of beggar's elbow later and that will be enough."

   The guards cheered and couldn't wait to grab the barbecue and eat it.

  Smelling the smell of barbecue, Sheng Saburo couldn't resist grabbing a bunch. After biting off a piece of barbecue, his eyes lit up: "Cousin, I didn't expect the ugly mother-in-law tofu nao to be cooked well, and the barbecue is also delicious."

   After eating a mouthful of oily red beans, she looked proud: "That's right, our girls have the best vision."

  When Sheng Saburo thought of the handsome man in scarlet clothes he met in the tea shed, he couldn't help but agree: "Cousin really has good eyesight."

   In this way, he should be safe, and don’t have to worry about being ripped off by his cousin—hey, this realization doesn’t seem to make him particularly happy…

  The smell of meat wafted farther and farther, and not far away, in the grass half a person's height, there were more than a dozen figures hiding in the dark.

  A bearded man seriously reminded the black-faced boy beside him: "Lao Qi, don't be nervous when you rob for the first time, have you seen the most beautiful little lady?"

  The black-faced boy nodded hurriedly: "I see."

   "After the people who rush over to us wrap up those guards, you immediately take down that little lady. At that time, those people will not dare to resist, and we have to give what we want."

   "Okay." The black-faced boy nodded vigorously, his clenched fists showing the inner tension.

  The bearded man raised his hand and patted him: "Don't be afraid, we have more people than them, not to mention they have three women."

"I'm not afraid."

   "Okay, brothers, get ready for action!"

  The black-faced boy pulled his beard: "Brother, don't wait any longer."

  The bearded man was stunned: "What are you waiting for?"

  Smelling the smell of meat, the black-faced boy swallowed his saliva: "Why don't we go out after that so-called flower elbow is healed?"
