Chapter 259: The Little Thorn Ball
Lily said excitedly, "It was the county magistrate who taught us how to grill fish."
Qingfeng couldn't believe it: "Grilled fish, can grilled fish be so fragrant? The fish we eat are all fishy. What kind of fish are you grilling?"
When they got closer, the two men threw the things on their backs to the ground, and the heavy objects fell to the ground with a "bang".
A few people saw hares, pheasants, wild goats and a silly roe deer on the ground.
Zheng Sisi exclaimed: "There are so many, did you go to the mountains to clean up?"
Ye Hu said: "Fortunately, there are few people coming to this forest, and there are many wild animals. We haven't seen any large wild animals yet."
Zheng Sisi: "No wonder you took so long. Go wash your hands. The grilled fish should be ready to eat."
The two of them drove to the stream to wash their hands and saw a few fish on the rocks beside the stream that had been killed. Qingfeng asked, "Master, there are so many fish in this pond, and they smell so good when grilled. Let's catch a few more later."
The third prince said, "Can you take it?"
Qingfeng thought about it and realized that it would take almost two hours to go back, so it would be difficult to get it.
"Well, if it's hard to take, I'll eat more."
This made everyone laugh.
Qingfeng washed his hands, shook off the water on them as he walked away, and said, "You don't know how unlucky I am today. I want to eat more to replenish myself."
Zheng Sisi asked: "What happened to you?"
Qingfeng said aggrievedly, "It was me, just me and the other two of us chasing this wild goat. It was too cunning and could run fast. We chased it for a long time before we caught it.
I didn't expect that it would kick me when I finally grabbed it, and my hands fell to the ground. I didn't expect that the ground was full of small thorns, which pricked my arm through my clothes.
You don't know, that little thorn ball is so nasty, the thorn is stuck in the flesh and can't be pulled out, my arm is still burning with pain now."
Zheng Sisi's eyes lit up after hearing Qingfeng's description, and she asked excitedly: "Can I see your arm?"
Several people didn't know what the county lady was going to do, and they wanted to look at a man's arm. Qingfeng was a little embarrassed, and he secretly glanced at the third prince.
Zheng Sisi knew from everyone's expressions that they had misunderstood, so she explained, "It's like this, I think I know what the little thorn ball Qingfeng mentioned just now is, I just wanted to take a look at the thorns on his arm to confirm it.
If I'm not mistaken, it should be a kind of fruit called chestnut, which is a food that can fill the stomach and can be used in cooking, as a snack or dessert.
Qingfeng, if it is confirmed that it is Ban Li, you will be a great hero, and I will reward you with ten taels of silver each."
Qingfeng was stunned. There was such a good thing. He quickly loosened the tie on his cuffs and exposed his arms.
Zheng Sisi took a closer look and saw that it was indeed chestnut thorns. Zheng Sisi saw the dense black spots on his arm and felt sorry for him for three seconds, but still said: "These are all caused by the small thorns. You are so unlucky. When we go back, I will ask Dongzhi to help you pick out these thorns. She is the best at needlework."
Qingfeng said indifferently: "No need."
Zheng Sisi said, "One or two are fine, but you have so many on your arm. Do you want them to grow in your flesh and become inflamed and fester? Don't cry if your arm becomes useless!"
Qingfeng was frightened: "County Lady, don't scare me, I will go back and ask Dongzhi to help me pick it out, I still have to protect my master, I can't be a one-armed hero."
Zheng Sisi was speechless: "You think too much."
The third prince was also speechless because of Qingfeng and found that Qingfeng was becoming more and more unreliable.
Zheng Sisi saw that the fish were almost cooked, so she sprinkled cumin and chili powder on them, flipped them a few times, then cut the fish in half and gave each person half.
Zheng Sisi said, "Eat half first, and then share the other one if you're not full."
Looking at the fragrant, golden grilled fish in their hands, several people couldn't wait to take a bite, and they all showed an intoxicated look: "It's so delicious!"
Qingfeng: "Mmm, mmm, mmm, it's so delicious. I've never eaten such delicious fish."
