The gentleman hides the front [Comprehensive]

Chapter 6.Half-drunk when drunk.

The old helmsman was taken aback by the jubilant yellow hook on the deck. This piece weighed at least fifteen catties, and its size was almost huge among the yellow hooks.

Putting the fish into the bucket, the old helmsman Nahan said: "Hey, today's luck is really evil, and it is not the season to eat yellow hooks." But he was relieved in an instant, and smiled at Gong Jiu , asked: "Xiao Jiu, you caught this, how do you eat it?"

Gong Jiu smiled shyly, without the slightest arrogance on his face.He said to the old steerer: "Didn't that young master Ye go to take care of the one you caught just now, just in case... we should have a backup. As for this one, you have been at sea all year round, eating fish As an expert, it’s up to you to decide.”

The old steerer didn't give in to him, and ran to hide in the boat with the fish bucket in his arms, then ran back with a smile, and looked in the direction of the back kitchen with Gong Jiu.

Because it is at sea, even in the back kitchen, they are all men.Seeing the young master Ye Qiege walk in, the guys chopping fish with heavy machetes couldn't help but stop their work.

"Young master, do you want to eat fish?" Seeing the fish in Ye Qie's song, a man with a scar on his face, bare upper body, sweat-absorbing cloth wrapped around his head, and a man who was cooking with a big shovel covered the pot. , wiped his hands, and walked towards her quickly.

Ye Qiege waved his hands again and again, and the apologetic crowd said: "Uncle Sun caught a big fish weighing more than ten catties. I want to show him off. I'm afraid I have to borrow a stove. But there are still empty stoves?"

Surprise flashed across the face of the man with the scar, but he quickly realized, pointed to a small stove in the corner, and said to Ye Qige repeatedly: "Yes, there are, young master, I will let you go there." Ah Hui will help you?"

As he said that, he pulled back his palm-sized hand, and a six or seven-year-old boy slipped over by him.This is Scar's son, who has been a helper on the ship since he was a child.

Ye Qige quickly picked up the child who was still "ignorant", and moved both the man and the fish to the small stove.

Everyone looked at this scene in surprise, and after a long while, someone smiled and said: "Young master is quite strong, I really can't see it."

Ye Qige's epee weighs sixty catties. A six or seven-year-old child plus a ten catty fish is nothing to her.After all, Hidden Sword Villa, no matter men, women, old or young, are all born with supernatural powers.But facing everyone's amazement, she just smiled slightly, and turned to A Hui and said softly: "A Hui, can you help me light the fire?"

Growing up in a group of men, the way Ah Hui was used to speaking was "roar". Even in the back kitchen, if the men speak in a lower voice, it seems that their confidence is weaker.Suddenly hearing such a beautiful little brother whispering to him, Ah Hui's ears burned red.

It wasn't until Ye Qiege Bainen's finger was on his head that Ahui was shocked, and a weak mosquito responded, and hurriedly ran to hold firewood to make a fire.

Ye Qiege secretly felt it was funny, shook his head slightly, turned around to wash his hands, rolled up his somewhat wide sleeves, borrowed a kitchen knife from the chef, and started cooking the big fish.

Remove the scales, dig out the gills, and break the belly.Ye Qiege's movements were skillful and graceful, and it was clearly a bloody scene, but she did it with a sense of pleasing to the eye.

Cut off the head of the fish and put it aside for later use. Ye Qiege deboned the whole fish and cut it in half along the back.Half of it was smeared with a layer of fine salt to taste, and the other half was sealed and immersed in the cold sea water, and then she changed hands to cook the fish head.

The newly caught yellow hook is already extremely delicious, but too much seasoning is a burden.Just melted a small piece of lard in the pot, Ye Qiege slightly fried the fish head, then poured hot water, put in a large section of scallion and a large piece of ginger, and then let it simmer.

After washing and arranging all kinds of vegetables for the hot pot, I cut some thin mutton that is hard to find in the sea, and finally took a piece of soft tofu from the chef, and the things to prepare for the fish hot pot are complete.

Now the sea is cold and cold, this pot of fish hot pot can just warm up the body.Satisfied with wine and food, sweating all over, and wrapped in a thick quilt, this feeling is not the bliss in the world, but it can be regarded as a pleasant thing.

Until the soup was stewed until it turned milky white, Ye Qiege took out the fish head and put the soup into another small pot, seasoned with salt.Then, she taught others to bring the hot pot to the old helm first, while she took a deep breath and began to slice the freshly seasoned fish into thin slices.

The fish fillets for hot pot do not need to be too thin, only with a certain thickness will it have a better taste.Ye Qiege used a sword all the year round, and the accuracy in his hand was excellent. Even if he used a kitchen knife that was not easy to use now, the thickness of the sliced ​​fish was appropriate.

After neatly stacking the preferred fish fillets, Ye Qiege stared blankly at Ahui and said, "Ahui, help brother deliver it to them, okay?"

Ah Hui nodded vigorously, carefully holding a large plate of fish fillets, and walked out of the back kitchen.

On the other side, Ye Qiege began to prepare the last dish - fish stew.The yellow hook meat is firm and is most suitable for fish stew.I saw Ye Qiering's wrist trembling slightly, and a piece of fish meat as thin as paper was sliced ​​off.Ye Qiege stopped and blew lightly, and the fish was actually blown up.

Looking at the blown fish fillet, Ye Qiege raised his eyebrows - he hasn't made this dish for many years, and it seems that he hasn't regressed now.

Slice the fish into paper-thin slices, use a clean cloth towel to absorb the blood, and do not add much seasoning.Only in this way can the tip of the tongue experience the delicious and springy feeling of the fish and live up to the rare deliciousness in winter.

However, this fish stew is easy to say, but in fact it is the most test of patience and knife skills, so even Ye Qige is not easy to do it.It's just that today I have such a rare leisure time and rare ingredients, so I just made such a plate.

After personally serving the plate of fish stew, Ye Qige walked into the cabin.

There was a gust of hot air against his face, martial arts practitioners had sharp eyes and ears, and Ye Qiege could hear the sound of fish soup boiling from a distance.Holding a large plate of stewed fish, Ye Qiege pretended to be angry and said angrily: "Okay, Uncle Sun, I worked so hard to cook for you, but you didn't wait for me!"

The old helmsman was just picking up a chopstick of fish meat and stuffing it into his mouth, and now he swallowed it desperately regardless of the heat, he smiled at Ye Qiege flatteringly, and then changed the subject with a guilty conscience: "Ah, Xiaoye, come quickly! , let me introduce you, this is the young man who lives in the room next to yours, named Gong Jiu, you young people should get in touch with each other more."

While Ye Qiege was looking at Gong Jiu's space, the old shopkeeper quickly took out a piece of fish from the pot, dipped it in Ye Qiege's special ingredients on the plate, and it was delicious.

Feeling Ye Qige's gaze, Gong Jiu smiled quietly at her.It's just that this smile is a little unnatural in the smoke from the hot pot.

The moment Ye Qiege looked at Gong Jiu, he frowned slightly.There may be some instinct-like aura among martial arts practitioners, although Ye Qige instinctively felt that this person's martial arts is not weak even with just one glance.But he deliberately covered it up, and he looked like a gentle and harmless scholar—and this kind of concealment was unusual in itself.

The hands covered under the wide sleeves were tightly clenched, and Gong Jiu's originally bright eyes flashed a bit of clarity that only young people have.His eyes were filled with the shadow of Ye Qiege, and there were slight ups and downs in his usually steady voice.Standing up abruptly from the table, Gong Jiu got up and first helped Ye Qiege put down the large tray in his hand, then cupped his hands and said to her: "Gong Jiu, haven't you asked the young master's name yet?"

Ye Qiege was taken aback by this man's hospitality, but he didn't want to be rude, so he cupped his fists at Gong Jiulue and said, "My surname is Ye, go up and down."

The moment Gong Jiu heard her voice, the tension around her body suddenly relaxed, the corners of her eyes and brows seemed to be filled with joy, and her pale complexion due to seasickness for the past few days also turned a little blush.He made a "please" gesture to Ye Qiege, inviting Ye Qiege to sit down with him.

Ye Qige smiled politely at Gong Jiu, and also sat down in his seat.

The table in the old helm's room was just an ordinary round table, but now the portion of this fish was huge, and Ye Qiege had already filled the table without cooking other side dishes.Although both Gong Jiu and Ye Qiege came from famous families with excellent family education, they also took care of the old helmsman, and there was no rule of "not talking when eating". Chatting.

Gong Jiu and Ye Qiege met for the first time, but under the coordination of the old helm, they quickly became familiar with each other.Compared to Ye Qiege's talkativeness, Gong Jiu seemed a little silent.But I have to admit that every time he speaks is just right, not only participating in the topic without showing indifference, but also making people extremely comfortable, and he will also lead Ye Qiege to continue talking by the way.

And every time Ye Qiege asked him something, Gong Jiu would always answer with incomparable sincerity.Even when Ye Qiege tentatively asked him why he hid his martial arts, Gong Jiu said with an innocent face: "Shouldn't martial arts be a thing that should be hidden, and then wait for a fatal blow at a critical moment?"

Ye Qige suddenly felt that what he said made sense?

So, the last bit of guard against this person was put down, and by the end of the meal, Ye Qiege had already started calling Gong Jiu "A Jiu", and Gong Jiu had also started calling Ye Qiege "A Ye" .

The winter night on the sea was extremely cold, after Gong Jiu and Ye Qige bid farewell to the old helm, they walked across the long deck to their own cabins.

Gong Jiu looked at the figure who was a head shorter than herself, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then asked cautiously: "Aye, your voice is really nice, can I talk to you often in the future?"

Like the previous life, Ye Qiege's voice is not completely delicate or soft like a woman's, but has a touch of gentleness and freedom of a gentleman. Even in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, many girls threw themselves into her arms and spoke softly to her. She said: "Let's sing and sing, your voice is really nice, I like it so much~"

But it was the first time for him to be praised by a man.Ye Qige didn't care much about this, but Ye Qige responded immediately to his friend's request: "Of course, you can wait anytime."

Like a child who got sugar, Gong Jiu gave a soft "En".Ye Qige shook his head and smiled, thinking that this child is really easy to satisfy.

And Ye Qige walked in front, and didn't see the smile on Gong Jiu's lips behind him.He stared at the little figure in front of him without blinking his eyes, and exhaled lightly—well, it's really... a nice voice.
