Abandoned Women: The First Secret Service Concubine

Chapter 87

Doudou likes one of the sky-blue silks and satins, so Feng Yao saved a ten feet for Doudou to make clothes.Another bolt of rose-colored silk satin was kept, and it also left ten feet, and the rest were all sold.

It was almost 50 taels in total. Feng Yao put away these taels of silver and hid them in a hidden place in the house. Looking at the empty storage shelves, she finally smiled comfortably.The traces of being touched by Zhu Shi and Cheng Shi finally disappeared.

At this time, it was noon, and it was time to make lunch.Feng Yao tidied up her things, rolled up her sleeves, went outside the yard, and started to clean up those mussels.After one night and one morning of soaking, the river mussels have already spit out a lot of sludge, which has accumulated under the basin in strands of floc.

Feng Yao picked up the basin, walked to the river, poured out the water inside, leaving only big clams inside.To pry open the shells of mussels, boiling them in hot water is a good way.But if that's the case, the remaining sludge inside will not be easy to remove.Feng Yao planned to pry open the shell of the clam, dig out the meat and wash it.However, the dagger that was obtained from Wuyoulou was broken by Wuji, and Feng Yao threw it by the river, but did not retrieve it.

Thinking of this, Feng Yao stood up and shouted towards the big willow tree: "Wuji!"

The branches on the big willow tree trembled, then jumped down from the tree without a trace, walked over and said, "What's the matter?"

"I'll lend you a big knife." Feng Yao stretched out her hand, with a calm and authentic expression.

Wuji touched the big knife at his waist and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Pry the clam shell." Feng Yao pointed to the clam in the basin on the ground and said.

The moment he heard this sentence, Wuji's expressionless face seemed to twitch, and then he shook his head and said: "No." His knife is a treasure, and he can only drink human blood, so he doesn't do such mundane things .

Feng Yao sneered, and said: "Then you return my dagger." If you do damage and don't pay compensation, but you want to eat and drink well, how can there be such a beautiful thing?

No trace of words.Seeing the sneer on Feng Yao's face, she finally understood.Reluctant in my heart, I thought about it and said, "I'll use another method to break it for you, okay?"

Feng Yao raised her eyebrows and agreed: "Okay." She was also a warrior, so she naturally knew what weapons meant to a warrior.Seeing that Wuji was unwilling, he didn't force him: "All these mussels are handed over to you. Open the shells and don't hurt the meat inside."

"Yeah." Wuji nodded, walked closer and squatted beside the basin.Feng Yao stood not far away with her arms folded, looking at Wuji with great interest, what is he going to do?
I saw Wuji squatting next to the basin, and there was no movement for a long time, just when Feng Yao was going to remind him not to grind, Wuji moved.Instead, he picked up a mussel, put it in the palm of his hand, and then clapped his right hand together, and slapped the mussel vigorously.

Immediately, the shell on the top of the mussel shattered immediately, Wuji raised his head and looked at Feng Yao's eyes.Seeing that Feng Yao was not angry, she lowered her head again and carefully picked out the broken clam shells, leaving only the lower half of a complete clam shell and the undamaged clam meat.

Clean and refreshing, Wuji felt more and more that Feng Yao should be satisfied, so he raised his head and asked, "Is this okay?"

Feng Yao nodded expressionlessly: "Yeah." Then she looked at Wuji and lowered her head, put the prepared mussel into the basin, picked up another one, and cooked it in the same way.

At this moment, in Feng Yao's heart, she was not as calm as she appeared on the surface, but was very surprised!This Wuji is simply an expert at work!If you catch mussels in the future, you must hand them over to him!

People with kung fu are good, if possible, Feng Yao really wants to ask that mysterious man to ask Wu Ting to come over.

Wuji moved quickly, and it didn't take long to get it done.Each one is clean, fresh and refreshing, and the white and tender mussel meat is supported on half a piece of clam shell, not to mention how cute it is.Squatting on the ground, she looked at Feng Yao flatteringly, she looked like a puppy, Feng Yao couldn't help but want to reach out and touch his head.

"Well, not bad." Feng Yao praised generously.

Wuji heaved a sigh of relief, stood up, hesitated for a while: "Aren't you angry?"

"How is it possible?" Feng Yao raised her eyebrows, "You caused me to be peeped in the shower and broke my dagger."

Wuji scratched her head, thinking in her heart, she and the master even had a child, so what if the master took a look at her and took a bath?He said: "The dagger, I will pay you again, okay?"

"It can't be worse than that one, it has to be better." Feng Yao said, "I want the one from Yunying in Wuyoulou."

"This..." Wuji hesitated.

"What? You don't want to? Then there will be no food for lunch." Feng Yao bent down to pick up the basin, and walked into the yard.

"No." Wu Ji looked at Bai Shengsheng's mussels, how could he not know that Feng Yao was going to eat something delicious at noon?He was already greedy, and quickly explained: "Although that kind of thing is good, it's not easy to make, and it won't come out for a while. How about I give you something better than that?"

"Oh, what's it like?" Feng Yao's heart moved, but her face didn't relax, she deliberately bluffed her face.

Wuji hurriedly said: "It's a precious dagger inherited from our master. It's extremely light and sharp. You absolutely like it."

"Really?" Feng Yao paused, turned her head to look at Wuji and asked.Wuji nodded, pretending to think for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay then."

Wuji finally breathed a sigh of relief, walked back and jumped back up the tree.

Feng Yao carried the mussels into the house, put the basin on the stove, held the mussels in one hand and a knife in the other, and peeled out the mussels one by one.I cut a large bowl full of mussel meat, poured it back into the basin, and washed it with salt water.Then cut open the intestines of the mussels, clean all the black dirt inside, put them on the chopping board one by one, and knock them up with a rolling pin.

Doudou was playing outside with Xiaobai in her arms, and when she heard the sound of "dongdong" in the room, she couldn't help but walked in curiously, looked at Fengyao's movements, and asked curiously, "Mother, what are you doing?"

"Mother is knocking the meat." Feng Yao said, "knock the meat loose, it will be softer when eaten."

"Oh." Doudou clicked her mouth, her eyes glowing greedily.

Feng Yao was a little amused, and said: "Go outside and play, mother will call you when it's ready."

After knocking all the clam meat, Feng Yao put the clam meat back into the bowl, then squatted by the stove and started to light a fire.After boiling the water, blanch the clam meat that has been cleaned and loosened in the water, then take it out and let it dry. When the temperature drops, cut the clam meat into small pieces.Scoop out the water in the pot, boil the pot dry and pour in the oil. After the onion and ginger burst into fragrance, add the clam meat and stir-fry.

After frying several times, add four bowls of water into it, and chop the fungus into it.After starting the fire and cooking for about two quarters of an hour, add tofu, fine salt, sugar and other seasonings, and cook for another quarter of an hour before it comes out of the pot.

The moment the lid of the pot was lifted, Doudou, who was playing in the yard, yelled "Wow", rushed in with short legs, and shouted as she ran, "Mother, are you all right?"

"Well, it's done." Feng Yao smelled the aroma in the pot, and she was also looking forward to it at this moment. Such pure and natural game meat itself is a rare and good ingredient.What's more, it must be very delicious when stewed with tofu.She first scooped out half a spoonful of the soup, put it in the bowl and blew it, then took a small sip, her eyes lit up immediately: "Not bad!"

"Mother, mother, Doudou wants to drink too." Beside him, Doudou raised her face and tugged at the corner of Feng Yao's clothes greedily.

Feng Yao couldn't help laughing, bent down and fed the bowl to his mouth: "It's a bit hot, drink carefully."

Doudou couldn't care less, the delicious smell almost made his mouth water, so he took a big sip immediately.Immediately, the slightly hot soup poured into his mouth, he groaned but he couldn't bear to spit it out, and swallowed it down.In the end, he smacked his lips and said straightly: "Mother, drink it well."

"There's too much in the pot, mother will fill it for you." Feng Yao said with a smile.

In the house, the two of you eat one bite at a time, and enjoy eating so much.Only Wu Tie, who was hiding on the big willow tree outside the yard, was so greedy that his saliva almost flowed down.

At this moment, Wuji looked down upon himself a little.In the past, he was sent by his master to do missions, and he had to eat wind and drink dew, and he didn't feel how hard it was.But, since protecting Feng Yao, why has he become delicate?It seems that the demand for food and drink has become extraordinarily strong.

He turned his head to look at the dragonfly beside him, only to see that the dragonfly was still expressionless, and a trace of sympathy arose in his heart.He is indifferent now, just because he has not been raised by Feng Yao.When the appetite is spoiled, and the master withdrew the task at that time, what will the dragonfly do?
Just as she was thinking, she suddenly smelled the fragrance approaching, she retracted her mind and looked down, and sure enough, she saw Feng Yao coming over with two bowls of fragrant soup.Before Feng Yao could speak, Wuji jumped down from the tree.The dragonfly also knew the rules of this task, and whenever it was time to eat, it could just follow Wuji down to eat, so it also followed and jumped down.

Feng Yao handed the two bowls of soup to the two, and after taking it, Dragonfly gulped it down, not a single drop was left.And Wuji took a sip of clam, meat and tofu soup, and felt it was so delicious that he couldn't help but think of his master back in the capital.

Seeing Wuji's expression of wanting to say something but not daring to say it, Feng Yao couldn't help but want to laugh, still can't she guess what he's thinking?Rolling his eyes, he stepped down the steps very simply: "Do you want to serve it to your master?"

"Yeah." Wuji nodded.

"No more." Feng Yao simply said.

"Ah?" Wuji paused.Confused, should he eat it all by himself, or send it to the master?Originally, he didn't have to think about such a problem at all, and everything was focused on the master.But I don't know since when, he actually had these small thoughts?
No, this is wrong, Wuji held back the glutton, tilted his head to the dragonfly and said: "I'll leave for a while, you stay here and watch carefully." After saying that, he lifted his foot and was about to leave.

Feng Yao couldn't help being amused, and quickly shouted: "Wait!"

He turned around suspiciously.

"This is the soup I made. You can eat it, but you don't need to eat it for your master." Feng Yao said calmly, "If you don't want to eat it, just throw it away."

"Ah?" Wuji was stunned.

"You can take it if you want, but you promise me one condition." Feng Yao stretched out a finger, her gaze was a bit sly: "Teach me inner strength and mental skills."

"This..." Wuji hesitated.

"If you promise me, from now on, no matter what delicious food I cook, you can give a copy to your master." Feng Yao added to the temptation.

Wuji thought for a while, and said ruthlessly, "Okay."

"That's fine, you can eat first, I'll prepare it for your master." Feng Yao said with a smile.
