MTL - Drunk House-Chapter 37 Roast Chicken (plus more)

  Chapter 37 Roast Chicken (plus more)

  Su Rong heard that he didn't count on him anymore. It's normal that Young Master Zhou has never done such a job.

  She answered his earlier question, "Haven't you seen me fishing? This catching pheasant is similar to fishing, but as long as they see me, they can't escape from my palm."

  Zhou Gu recalled Su Rong’s fishing, really, that’s called fast and ruthless, he was speechless, stood aside and looked at it for a while, then squatted down and said, “Plucking chicken feathers doesn’t seem to be difficult, I’ll go with you, too?”

"Okay."

  So, Zhou Gu rolled up his sleeves, followed Su Rong's example, and the two of them squatted together to pluck the chicken feathers. After a while, he plucked the pheasant's **** bald.

  The guards who followed Zhou Gu out of Duke Huguo's Mansion today looked at the two of them from a distance, their eyes widened with shock on their faces.

  Who will tell them that their young master is actually doing such a thing? Their little son, from childhood to adulthood, has learned the six arts of a gentleman and played with elegance and fun. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have thought, who would have believed that he would squat on the ground doing such things as plucking chicken feathers?

  Su Rong suddenly remembered something, and said to Zhou Gu: "The guards who are following, you have to tell them to find food by themselves."

  Zhou Gu turned his head and took a look. Facing the stunned faces, he paused for a moment before waving his hands, "Go and find food yourself. These two chickens are not for you."

   The guards woke up startled, and nodded in unison, and they didn't dare to ask the two chickens to have their share.

  Su Rong watched the guards arrange a few people to find food, and the rest stayed put. She whispered to Zhou Gu, "Are these your own people, or people from the Duke Protector's Mansion?"

   "Is there a difference?"

   "Yes." Su Rong was very serious, "If it's your own person, can you let them hide what I did with you? If it's a person from the Duke Protector's Mansion, after you go back, they will all shake it out for me, right?"

  Gaomen’s mansion marrying a wife would definitely like a lady who is gentle and courteous. Her status is not dominant at all, and she doesn’t look like a lady like a lady. That must be annoying. Even if the old Hugong wants to fulfill the marriage contract, Princess Sheng’an and Mrs. Guogong won’t do it, right?

  Zhou Gu Wenyan paused, "They are from the Duke Protector's Mansion."

  Su Rong sighed, it seemed that it was over.

   "Don't you think you can't do it? Why bother?" Zhou Gu raised his eyebrows.

  Su Rong inhaled, she felt that it was not good for her to marry into the Duke Huguo's mansion, and she couldn't pretend to be in front of Princess Sheng'an and the Duke's wife for a lifetime, but isn't it because he is too attractive to look at? She couldn't suppress the flame a little bit.

   Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhou Gu didn't know what she was thinking, but felt that her mind was wandering and fickle. It seemed that she didn't care, but she seemed to care a little bit. He clicked tut in his heart and ignored her.

  Su Rong finished plucking the chicken feathers neatly, reached out to grab the dagger on his body, suddenly paused, and asked Zhou Gu, "Do you have a dagger on you?"

"No."

   "Then take out your sword and use it?" Su Rong suggested.

  Zhou Gu stared, "You want to use my sword to kill chickens?"

   "It's disemboweling a chicken."

  Zhou Gu disagreed, "No, my sword is the best Frost and Cold Sword. It ranks on the list of weapons in the world. It cuts iron like mud. How can it be used to kill chickens?"

  He had a resolute disapproval expression on his face, "Seeing how skillful your movements are, I've eaten a lot of chicken. What will you do when you go back?"

  Su Rong always carried a knife with her back, it was very small, but since she saved the man and gave her a dagger, she didn't carry that knife anymore, but that dagger was so good, she couldn't bear to use it to kill chickens.

  She looked at Zhou Gu innocently, "I always carried a knife with me, but I didn't bring it out today, and I didn't expect to take you to catch and roast pheasants to eat." She muttered, "Isn't it all the fault of Chen Zhou? He wiped out all my affairs, so I'll just take you to roast venison and eat it. It's not bad anyway. You finally came to Jiangning and walked back to Phoenix Mountain. You can't just go down after half of your shopping, right?"

   Zhou Gu was stubborn, "I can't use my sword anyway."

   "Okay, then I'll find something else to try!" Su Rong tore off a leaf, put the plucked chicken on the leaf, and turned around to find something that could be used.

  Zhou Gu protected his sword, he didn't feel any embarrassment, his sword naturally couldn't be used for such a waste, so he continued to pluck chicken feathers.

   Cuiyu stood on the stone, looking at the plucked chicken in his hand and the scattered chicken feathers on the ground, showing a really pitiful expression.

   Zhou Gu turned his head and saw it, thinking of a little bird, and there was a look of sympathy in his eyes. He deliberately said, "Fortunately, you are small and don't have a lot of meat on your body. Otherwise, she probably wouldn't have saved you. She should have roasted you long ago."

   Cuiyu shook her wings, chirped a few times at Zhou Gu, seemed very angry at what he said, turned her head around, gave him a butt, and ignored him.

  Zhou Gu laughed, "Oh, you have a temper!"

  Su Rong came back with a piece of sharp stone with water chestnuts. Seeing Zhou Gu smiling so nicely, she felt very helpless, "Why are you so happy?"

  Zhou Gu turned to her and asked, "Why didn't you bake that little thing back then?"

   "I want to roast it and eat it. I weighed it in my hand. There is no meat, so how can it be as fat as a pheasant? Just make a simple bandage for it and let it go." Su Rong disemboweled the pheasant with a stone slice.

  Zhou Gu never expected that she would really want to roast that little thing. He was speechless for a while, seeing her slender wrists, but she cut open the belly of the pheasant neatly. He admired her, "So skilled, how many pheasants on this mountain have you eaten?"

   "Not much. When I'm alone, I don't like to run to the mountains."

   Zhou Gu saw that she had quickly finished the pheasant in her hand, and his pheasant hadn't been plucked, so he looked at her with both hands. Su Rong didn't laugh at him, and took it neatly, cleaned it up in two or three strokes, and then opened it up neatly.

  Zhou Gu was in a mixed mood, thinking that even if Su Rong wasn't a young lady, she wouldn't starve to death.

   "Zhou Gu, go and get some dry firewood." Su Rong took two chickens to wash in the water flowing down from the cliff, and asked Zhou Gu at the same time.

  Zhou Gu washed his hands, nodded, and went to do this relatively easy task.

   A while later, he picked up dry firewood and came back. Su Rong had already wrapped the pheasant with grass leaves, set it on fire, found a bunch of herbs and twisted it into juice to drip on the pheasant, etc. After a whole process, Su Rong finally sat on the stone and waited.

   It was the first time for Zhou Gu to wait for something to eat in the wild, and he was quite looking forward to it, "You can also identify herbs?"

   "Well, I learned from the doctor in Huichun Hall for a while."

   "Does that have medical skills?"

   "A little bit too."

  Zhou Gu is a little bit suspicious of Su Rong now, "Why do you know everything?"

   "Because I always fought with people when I was young, and I was always injured. Sometimes when I came back from the fight, I didn't dare to let people know that I went to fight again. I was afraid of being scolded, so I had to learn to heal myself. In order to learn to identify herbs, I did a lot of chores for the doctor in Huichun Hall." Su Rong rubbed his nose, "Unless it hurts the face, which is a very serious injury that cannot be hidden, and I don't have money to buy expensive medicines to treat it, it will alarm the family. There is no way."

  Zhou Gu was speechless, "Why do you always fight with people?"

  Su Rong was confident, "Someone always messes with me, so what can I do?"

  Zhou Gu: "..."

   This is today’s update, see you tomorrow~
