Chapter 4 Clam Shell Soup
The girl in red had already seen Yi Jing and pointed at him and said, "Brother Fen, it's this little thief who broke the whip given to me by the Empress."
"What a little thief, he is so brave that he dares to damage the enemy. If someone comes, he will catch him in." The young man in brocade shouted sternly.
"Wait, as far as I know, only the things used by the emperor are called sanctions. Even the things used by the queen cannot be called sanctions. Your empress is so arrogant, can you go along with the emperor?" Li Luotang asked sneeredly.
These words hurt the heart, and the face of the young man in Jinyi changed slightly. Who dares to compete with the emperor? Don’t want to live anymore? "Don’t talk nonsense."
"This little thief has accomplices, Brother Fen, arrest them together, and I will kill them alive." The girl in red said fiercely.
"Wow, this is a fellow friend. I also like to slap people. Come on, let's compete to see who is better at playing whips." After Li Luotang said that, he took out the whip and said, "Brother, this woman belongs to me, and the others belong to you, can you?"
"No problem." Yi Jing also couldn't stand such people who bully the good and oppress the good.
Li Luotang shook his hand and waved it out. Before the girl in red could react, the whip was already wrapped around her waist. Li Luotang threw the girl in red out like a top, and "dong" the girl in red hit the base next to her, "Oh! My waist."
Yi Jing used his light skills, sliding through the group of people like a flower and willow, and his move was like the wind. The boy in Jinyi and the thugs were instantly touched by Yi Jing and became a wooden man, standing there.
Two martial arts masters fought with a group of guards who could make some fist and foot skills, and that was just a joke for the children. Li Luotang whipped the girl in red and asked with a sneer: "Isn't it very good to slap people?"
"Bitch, you dare to hit me, I want my father to kill you." The girl in red shouted with a arrogant look on her face.
When the young man in Jinyi heard this, he almost fainted. It was now at this time and he didn't know the current affairs. He was so brainless. Well, he was also brainless. She instigated him to follow her to seek revenge. These people in the martial arts world licked blood at the edge of the knife, and killed people like cutting vegetables. He was going to be finished.
"Brother, is it troublesome to deal with the corpse?" Li Luotang asked seriously.
Yi Jing saw Li Luotang's eyes smiling, and knew that she had no murderous intention to treat these people. He cooperated and said, "It's not troublesome to deal with one or two corpses, so many..." Seeing that the young man in Jinyi's expression changed from nervousness to relaxation, he changed his tone, "It's just a little bit of trouble, and it's not impossible to deal with it."
Corpse!
The girl in red realized that she might die. No matter how stupid the person is, she is afraid of death, so she dared not speak again. The boy in brocade bulged his cheeks. He wanted to speak, he wanted to beg for mercy, but he didn't want to die. Yi Jing smiled slightly and raised his hand to point him.
The young man in brocade blurted out: "Super your life, hero!"
Li Luotang's eyes flashed slightly, Ling Xuzhi! If the person who knows the name of the Bird Whip is not necessarily Yi Jing, but the person who knows Ling Xuzhi must be Yi Jing. Ling Xuzhi is his unique martial arts, and his nickname comes from this.
The young man in Jinyi found that he could speak, "Hero, it's all her fault. I was deceived by her. I was wrong. I shouldn't have listened to her and followed her to trouble the hero. The hero..."
"Okay, don't talk nonsense. If you don't want to die, just use the silver to redeem yourself." Li Luotang was anxious to eat authentic squirrel fish, impatiently talking to him.
"I have silver notes, I will give them all to you." The young man in brocade said anxiously.
Yi Jing untied the pussy of the young man in Jinyi and asked him to take out the money ticket from his arms. This boy is worthy of being a child of a powerful family, and he carried a hundred thousand taels of silver ticket with him.
"I'll accept this silver note." Li Luotang looked at the girl in red, "As for you, I'll punish you for your punishment."
After saying that, Li Luotang used a unique method to dislocate the girl in red, so that even if she took it back, the girl in red could not wave the whip again. As long as she whipped someone, her arms would dislocate again. However, Li Luotang did not intend to tell her about this, but just wanted her to suffer more.
Yi Jing untied the pussy of the boy in Jinyi and the group of thugs, but they still didn't dare to move, and watched the two of them go downstairs with fear on their faces.
Li Luotang gave the shopkeeper 100 taels of silver to make up for the losses caused by the trouble in the store. Someone just left without checking out the bill just now. Yi Jing's lips bent slightly, and his friend's sister was a kind-hearted girl, as his friend said.
Yi Jing took Li Luotang to the fishing boat wharf by the lake. As the saying goes, "Eat the mountains and eat water by the water." Fishermen make a living by fishing. After years of life, they eat fish in a variety of ways. More than a dozen fishing boats docked on the pier, all fishermen who make a living on the lake. Yi Jing glanced over and quickly found the fishing boat he was looking for, shouting: "Lao Hei, the guest is here."
A twelve or 3-year-old fisherman with a round and beautiful appearance came out of the fishing boat. When she saw Yi Jing, she smiled and shouted, "Uncle Jing!" Then she turned around and shouted, "Dad, it's Uncle Jing who is here."
"I knew it was you, and it was you who called me Lao Hei." A loud voice came from the ship.
Then Li Luotang saw a strong man with a big head and a thick neck, not at all like a fisherman. Jing Yijing introduced that Li Luotang learned that his surname was Sai, a not very common surname, name Yiya, and nickname: Lao Hei.
Li Luotang's eyebrows were slightly moved, Yi Ya was a famous chef, and it seemed that this person's cooking skills must be good.
His daughter was named Xi Shi, twelve years old.
Li Luotang pursed her lips and smiled slightly. In fact, her name is more suitable.
Sai Xishi turned his eyes and saw Li Luotang standing beside Yi Jing, and smiled and praised: "What a handsome little brother."
"I'm not a little brother, I'm a little sister." Li Luotang said with a smile.
Yi Jing glanced at Li Luotang, and was surprised that she would make it clear. Then she understood that she was unwilling to deceive her friends. Yi Jing's favor for Li Luotang became a little bit more, and the corners of her lips raised, "Old Hei, we haven't had lunch yet."
"You guy is lucky. You just left two fish, one steamed and the other braised?" Sai Yiya smiled.
"Make a squirrel fish." Yi Jing still remembers the dishes Li Luotang wanted to eat.
"No problem." Sai Yiya picked up the long bamboo pole and supported it hard on the river bank, and the fishing boat left the shore.
"Tangtang, let's get on the boat." Yi Jing jumped onto the boat with a graceful posture.
Li Luotang's light skills were not inferior to him. He landed gently on the boat without a sound, just like a leaf falling quietly in the wind.
The fishing boat was small and the seasoning was insufficient. The father and daughter of the Sai family took them back to their homes on the island in the middle of the lake. Along the way, Li Luotang and Sai Xishi chatted. By the time they got off the boat, they were already familiar with each other like the good sisters they had been with for a long time.
Seeing that Sai Xishi and Li Luotang were having a deep mood, Yi Jing took the initiative to help Sai Yiya burn the fire and asked the two little girls to continue chatting.
Half an hour later, four dishes and one soup were served. In addition to squirrel fish, there were also coral fish, steamed anchovies, scrambled eggs with leeks and clam shell soup. Saiyiya also brought a jar of wine, "We brothers have a few drinks."
"Okay, have a few drinks." Yi Jing agreed readily.
There was nothing to do with two girls when drinking, Sai Xishi took out kumquat honey water, "Sister Li, let's drink this, this is very sweet."
"Okay." Li Luotang stole wine when he was a child and slept drunk for three days. Since then, her mother has not allowed her to drink.
Perhaps it was because of the thirsty chatting, and the milky white clam shell soup was delicious enough, and the clam meat was quite tender. Li Luotang drank three bowls in a row and felt satisfied. "This soup is so fresh, there is no fishy smell. Uncle, your skills are this." Li Luotang gave a thumbs up.
A chef is most happy about the dishes he makes, which can be praised and liked by diners. He said happily: "Home-cooked side dishes, cook them casually, and the taste is average."
"Dad, if you smile so hard that your mouth is not as big as you, someone will believe it." Sai Xishi exposes that he is verbally modest, but in fact he is proud.
"You girl." Sai Yiya glared at her daughter who was shattering the situation.
Sai Xishi laughed and said, "Sister Li, if you want to drink fresh but not fishy clam shell soup, the most important thing is to drink it while it is hot. Another thing is to choose a live clam. No matter how you clean the dead clam, it will smell fishy."
"My chef bought a live clam, and I drank it while it's hot, but it still smells fishy." Li Luotang frowned and asked with confusion.
Sai Xishi thought for a while and said, "That must be that he did not rub the clam meat repeatedly with salt. After the clam shells were spit out, he had to remove the cheeks and squeeze out the mud in the intestines. Then rinse it with clean water, then rub the clam meat repeatedly with salt to remove the sticky river liquid on the clam meat. Then rub the clam meat repeatedly with flour and white vinegar, and then rinse it with clean water, so that there is no smell of mud."
"The clam meat in the clam shell soup cooked by my chef can't chew it, but it's not cooked?" Although Li Luotang knows how to eat and do it, he can write down the recipe and teaches people to make it for her to eat.
Sai Xishi waved his hand and said, "It's not that it's not that it's not cooked, but that it's not pounded meat. Put the washed river clams on the chopping board and use the back of the knife to flatten the hard meat on the edge of the river clams, so that the river clams can be stewed more easily."
"Can I write this down and tell my chef?" Li Luotang took out the pen and booklet she carried with her. She went out to practice, but not only for the sake of eating, but also determined to write a food travel record that made her famous all over the world.
"Yes, this is not a secret method passed down by any family. All fishermen who love to eat river clams know." Sai Xishi smiled.
"However the things in the water are cooked deliciously, you still have to listen to the fishermen's family." Li Luotang said with a smile.
"Yes, Sister Li, this steamed chiffon is also delicious, but unfortunately there are too many thorns." Sai Xishi picked up a chopstick fish and carefully picked up the thorns.
"You can taste it carefully if you have too many thorns." As long as the dishes are delicious, Li Luotang is not afraid of trouble at all, and he is not interested in picking on thorns.
Li Luotang and Sai Xishi did not drink alcohol and soon finished lunch. They carried small bamboo baskets on their backs to pick up clam shells and touched screws.
