Chapter 146: Extra five

Qiyang's fief was in Yongzhou, a full month away from the capital. Especially when she was too hot, she stopped and went to escape the heat, and her one-month trip was stretched indefinitely.
The summer heat in June, the fire in July, and the weather gradually eased after August. After the autumn tigers, they waited until after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather really cools down, and it's time for travel.
However, before that, Qi Yang disliked that the moving fleet was too large, and wherever he went, it was majestic and eye-catching, so he sent a steward to the Yongzhou Princess Mansion with extra outfits. As for her and Lu Qipei, they were not in a hurry. They led Lu Sheng light car and continued to travel in the direction of Yongzhou.
Yongzhou is located in Hunan. The closer it is, the more different the customs and the like from Beijing.
On this day, the group finally stepped into Hunan and arrived at a small county called Anping. Seeing that it was not early, they rushed and were in no hurry at this moment, so they simply found an inn in the city ahead of time.
In August, it is the autumn harvest season. As soon as Lu Qipei and Qi Yang entered the city, they found that this small county town seemed to be very lively. When I checked in to the inn, I found Xiao Er to inquire, and then I realized that this is the local autumn harvest festival. The so-called autumn harvest festival is not a fixed day. It depends on which year the harvest is good, the county government and the wealthy households will be paid The Shang took the lead and had a good time in the city.
A bumper harvest is always a joy. It is that Qi Yang and Lu Qipei have never done farming, and they can't help but get excited. The left and right have just met, and the two are also planning to join in the fun.
But before that, the group of people had been on their way all day, and naturally they had to wash up before filling their stomachs.
Said that the servants who came from Qi Yang will be sent away, the cooks who had brought from the princess mansion also rushed to Yongzhou, and the group had no small stove to eat. Then I walked this way, where I went to eat. Fortunately, although the food outside is not as exquisite and delicious as the princess's royal chef, it has a special flavor, and occasionally a fresh taste is enough.
When they set foot in Hunan, Qi Yang still ate Hunan food for the first time. She didn’t think much, and told Xiaoer as usual:
Prepare some of the specialty dishes in your store, and make another meal suitable for children. Sent here."
The younger brother responded with a smile, turned his head and drank a few times in the direction of the back kitchen, while flicking a cloth towel to lead the way, first led a few people to the guest room to wash and relax.
The small inn in the small county can't expect the environment to be good, only clean and tidy is commendable.
Qi Yang was born with a noble birth, and he was also a picky man. But after going this way, I also understand that I can't force it when I go out, and I gradually didn't care about it.
After seeing the room, Qi Yang is not too picky. Lu Qipei dispatched Xiao Er easily, and the two led Lu Sheng to wash up again. When they were cleaned from the wind and dust, Xiao Er brother brought a tray to deliver food.
Three people brought four dishes and one soup. Except that the soup looked lighter, the other dishes were all red.
Qi Yang looked a bit stunned, and couldn't help asking, "Are they all peppers?" She also specially ordered dishes suitable for children to eat. Are they so exciting?
After hearing a few people’s voices, the younger brother knew that they were all foreigners, so he smiled and explained: "Our Hunan cuisine is like this, and everything must be spicy. I know that several guest officials are all foreigners. , I have made the back cook less spicy, not so powerful. But if you are not used to eating this signature dish, you can ask the back cook to cook something less spicy, but the taste may be worse."
As for children’s spicy food, the second brother prepared a sweet pepper for Lu Sheng. According to him, the red and fleshy peppers are sweet, and local children will hold them when they are free, like snacks.
Qi Yang heard incredulously, took a piece of chopsticks and tasted it. It was really sweet, not exciting. So she felt much more relieved about the little brother's words, looking at the few signature dishes on the table, she didn't let her change.
When the younger brother left with an empty tray, Qi Yang said to Lu Qipei: "After dinner, let's go out and see the festival."
Lu Qipei nodded and greeted him. The first chopsticks held up his chopsticks, he picked Lu Sheng's bell peppers. The mouth was crispy and sweet, but it was not unpalatable.
At the same time, Qi Yang also picked up a chopsticks dish. However, her face changed in the next instant-the hotness in her mouth seemed to be burning, and it filled her entire mouth in an instant, completely beyond her imagination.
However, the princess is well-educated, and can't do the indecent state of spitting out the dishes. After hesitating for a while, he had to bite the bullet and chew twice, swallow the vegetables, and then pour all the tea on his stomach into his stomach in one breath.
When Lu Qipei saw her eyes were red, he was also taken aback and hurriedly filled a bowl of soup and handed it over.
Qi Yang immediately took it and drank it, but the hot soup seemed to be ineffective in relieving the spiciness. She found the teapot and poured two cups of herbal tea on her belly. Only then did she feel that the burning in her mouth faded.
After drinking a lot of water, Qi Yang was almost filled with water, and he didn't dare to touch it again when he lost his appetite to the table full of food.
This lesson learned was really scary, and even Lu Sheng stopped his chopsticks early. Lu Qipei looked at Qi Yang's embarrassed appearance, then looked at the table full of food, and couldn't help but ask with lingering fear: "Is it so spicy?"
Lu Qipei’s hometown is in the south of the Yangtze River, and the taste there is a bit sweet, so she never eats spicy ones, so she never thought about the power of these spicy dishes. It was Qi Yang, who was born in the imperial palace and ate all the delicious food. Of course, she had eaten spicy dishes, and she even liked them a little. That's why she entered it unsuspectingly under the premise that the second brother had guaranteed less spicy food. mouth.
The result... seems a bit tragic. It's just a bite of a dish, Qi Yang poured so much hydrolyzed pepper into it, but his eyes were still red and moist at the moment, and he didn't look too pitiful.
Lu Qipei's eyes flickered, and it settled on her face.
Qi Yang frowned and endured the spicy, not thinking about anything else. He hurriedly warned: "This dish is very spicy, Ngapei don't try it. From now on, we'd better eat less outside. If we knew it, we wouldn't let the cook follow. Up."
Lu Qipei nodded obediently, but then said softly, "I still want to try it."
When Qi Yang heard it, he was slightly surprised. Turning his head and looking at what he was trying to say, he saw Lu Qipei covering Lu Sheng's eyes with one hand, leaning over and kissing...As for the so-called tasting, it was naturally from her lips.
A meal is equal to not eating.
Qi Yang poured water into his belly with a bite of food, and when Lu Qipei saw her tragic appearance, how dare to follow her footsteps? She filled a bowl of soup, rinsed the dishes before eating, but she still couldn't match the remaining spiciness, so she could only eat some sweet peppers, and it was not easy to always grab the dishes with Lu Sheng.
So in the end, no one except Lu Sheng had enough to eat. As for calling Xiao Er to change dishes? Qi Yang felt that she had a shadow of the food in this inn, and did not want to try the "not spicy" in Xiao Er's mouth again. Just go out and have a look. The holidays are always more lively than usual, and there will be a lot of snacks out for sale, look for it, it is not difficult to find a non-spicy taste.
With the purpose of going out for food, the group left the inn after dinner. Two attendants followed, and a family of three wandered away, and they soon joined the crowd of the county seat.
The small county is indeed very lively, and from time to time you can see groups of teams walking by the street. There was noisy gongs and drums, and there was noisy clamor. Farmers gathered from all directions to the north of the city with their harvested rice ears. There was a temple in the land, where the land was safe and the harvest was guaranteed. Regardless of how incense is burned in the Dili Temple elsewhere, at least in Anping County, where there is an autumn harvest festival, there will be no shortage of incense.
Qi Yang was not in a hurry to go to the Dili Temple to join in the fun, choose from left to right, and bought a bowl of glutinous rice on the street, it was sweet!
In the past, Qi Yang wasn't addicted to sweets, she was used to food, and could eat any kind of food. But since she was almost cried by Hunan cuisine in the small inn, she has been insensitive to spicy food... It is really lingering.
Right now, this glutinous rice ball is very good, one bite, wrapped in soybean noodles and sugar, much more cute than Hunan cuisine.
Qi Yang ate two and thought it tasted good. Remembering that Lu Qipei hadn't eaten a few bites before, he just fed one to Lu Qipei's mouth. It's just that she had just fed her sweetheart, but when she lowered her head, she met Lu Sheng's bright eyes...
Summer has passed, and autumn is cool. Lu Sheng, who had held the rabbit until he had heat stroke, abandoned the cage and held the fat rabbit in his arms again. She looked up at Qi Yang, with vague expectation in her dark but shiny eyes.
Qi Yang looked at the glutinous rice ball in his hand, reacted, not stingy, smiled and fed the little carrot head.
A bowl of glutinous rice was eaten by three people, and it was finished in a few seconds. Qi Yang was naturally not full, and wanted to find something else to eat, but he inadvertently raised his head, but saw a big man holding a rice ear in his hand in the celebration team passing by, but a circle of chili peppers hanging around his neck—red and glowing. It's hot, and it makes people feel the hot pepper from the mouth to the stomach!
Seeing this, Qi Yang couldn't help pursing his lips, as if the hot taste had returned to his mouth.
At this moment, the rabbit in Lu Sheng's arms suddenly jumped out of her arms with a kick for some reason. Lu Sheng was startled, hurriedly shouted "Little Rabbit", and ran after him.
There are so many people on the street at this moment. How can Qi Yang and Lu Qipei dare to let Lu Sheng run around alone? You know, when there are many people with mixed eyes, accidents are most likely to occur. The two rushed to chase after him.
Fortunately, the rabbit didn't run very far. After it fluttered to the ground, it only jumped a few steps, and then suddenly stopped.
Qi Yang and Lu Qipei chased after him and saw that a red pepper was lying on the ground in front of the rabbit, and I wonder if it fell off the neck of the big man before. But this is not the point. The point is that the two of them watched the rabbit curiously staring at the chili peppers, and then bit the red fruit with one bite...
In the next instant, the rabbit fur blew up and jumped three feet high on the spot, too excited to stop.
Qi Yang hooked his lips and laughed unkindly.
The author has something to say: Lu Qipei (slight cough): Your Highness should be restrained. It was the same when you were hot.
Qi Yang (...): Do you believe it or not?
