Chapter 113 The Taste of BBQ

After Shi Xiaohan changed into casual clothes, he followed Gu Xu, walking in the crowded streets of Yishui County, bathed in the midday sun.

She was very surprised by Gu Xu's proposal of "go out for dinner".

After all, according to the stingy nature of that guy who takes care of Xu, he usually either goes to the yamen public kitchen to grab the public lunch subsidy, or sneaks back to his own home and uses those crude ingredients and seasonings to make a damn healthy meal.

The most critical question is... Gu Xu actually offered to treat him? !
While thinking about it, Shi Xiaohan pinched his arm, almost suspecting that he was dreaming.

…………

The two passed by No. 17 Ping'an Lane where Gu Xu lived - Gu Xu called the little book boy who came to see the door, and stuffed ten bottles of "Eternal Brightness Pill" into the house.

Afterwards, they walked through two narrow alleys and came to a barbecue stall next to Caishi Street in Yishui County.

Shi Xiaohan looked at the smoky stove, at the loud hawkers, at the vegetable leaves piled up on the ground and the flowing sewage...

Some are not quite used to this noisy environment, and feel a little novel.

"here……"

"I am in a good mood today, and I specially brought Miss Shi here to experience life." Gu Xu smiled slightly.

Shi Xiaohan pouted immediately, and said dissatisfiedly: "I told you, don't call me 'Miss'. Call me 'Nvxia'!"

"Okay, heroine!" Gu Xu immediately changed his words.

…………

The two found a seat by the barbecue stand and sat down.

Gu Xu said hello to the aunt who sold barbecue, and ordered all the kebabs, grilled tofu, grilled shiitake mushrooms, baked potatoes, grilled eggplant...all on the menu.

"Young man Jun, I often see you come to the vegetable market to buy vegetables," the aunt said to Gu Xu with a smile, "but why did you never come to my stall to eat barbecue before?"

Gu Xu was not surprised that the aunt could recognize him.

After all, handsome people are always easy to be remembered.

He silently thought in his heart: Because I was not in good health at that time, I had to learn how to maintain my health and know how to restrain myself.

But what he said was: "The barbecue you made smells so delicious, I'm afraid I'll be addicted to it."

"The young man's mouth is so sweet," the aunt replied with a smile, "I'm afraid I have deceived many girls before, right?"

Before Gu Xu could deny it, he heard Shi Xiaohan next to him sucking his saliva and saying, "Hmph, he can't fool me! This heroine is very smart!"

When the aunt heard this, she immediately turned her head to look at Shi Xiaohan, and looked her up and down. She only felt that this girl had smooth muscles and bones, and pretty eyebrows and eyes. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her.

"Is this girl your wife?" She pointed to Shi Xiaohan and asked Gu Xu.

Common people in the Daqi Dynasty always got married very early.Women often decide to get married when they are young.

Someone like Shi Xiaohan, who is about to be full and still free, can be regarded as an outlier.

"That's not true!" Before Gu Xu could speak, Shi Xiaohan immediately denied, "We are just friends, innocent friends!"

The aunt smiled, but said nothing.

Soon, the aunt brought a large plate of barbecue to the table.

After Shi Xiaohan smelled the aroma of meat, he immediately grabbed a kebab skewer, he took a big bite without caring about the heat.

This barbecue has been refined by charcoal fire, and it has an attractive aroma. When it is paired with chili and salt and pepper, it becomes more flavorful, tender, and crispy.

Shi Xiaohan only felt that the taste buds on his tongue were moaning comfortably.

"It's so cool!" she exclaimed involuntarily.

This is a completely different experience from eating dishes carefully prepared by chefs at home.

Although these barbecues are not exquisite, they are mixed with a unique market atmosphere-aggressive, stimulating and refreshing, which reminds her of the sun at noon, the noisy streets, and the smile on the corners of the lips of the boy when he said "bring the eldest lady to experience life" Mysterious smile.

Gu Xu also closed his eyes, quietly enjoying the taste of the barbecue.

His life has always been self-disciplined and temperate.

Today, I earned [-] meritorious service, obtained the "Stunning Pen", and helped Mr. Chen break the curse.

He was very happy.

He wanted to reward himself with a little indulgence.

"Xiaohan, you should know what the eight major cuisines of Daqi are?"

"Jiaodong cuisine, Shudi cuisine, Huaihe cuisine, Jiangnan cuisine, southern Cantonese cuisine..." Shi Xiaohan is very familiar with it.

"This is the ninth largest cuisine in the country, street barbecue!" Gu Xu joked with a smile, and was immediately cast a blank look by Shi Xiaohan.

"Gu Xu, don't think you can fool me! I'm someone who has read "Food Treasures"!" She wiped her oily little mouth with her hands, and deliberately said with a straight face.

Immediately, she turned her head to look at the aunt who sold the barbecue, and said with a smile, "Auntie, look! I'm very smart, right! Someone like him can't fool me at all!"

The aunt didn't speak, and the smile on her face became more and more meaningful.

…………

The north of Shu.

A piece of green hills are rolling and undulating, and the peaks and ridges are connected, shaped like a sharp sword, straight into the sky.

Jiange, one of the three major sects of practice in Daqi, is located in this dangerous place.

It can be said that "one person guards the danger, and ten thousand husbands stand in danger".

On the top of the cloud-shrouded mountain, a young man in his twenties held a wooden sword and swung it forward again and again.

He is plain in appearance and plain in temperament.

Wearing a cloth shirt that has been washed until it turns white, his hair is tied up casually with a cloth towel, and his big and generous hands are full of calluses.

His movements are blunt, monotonous and slow, even a little clumsy, like a beginner who has just come into contact with kendo.

However, every time he swung his sword, a deep sword mark would appear on a mountain hundreds of meters away.

Those sword marks exuded fierce killing intent, and even birds and apes dared not approach them.

This young man is the closed disciple of the master of the Jiange Pavilion, a contemporary sage, a genius monk who dominates the list in the "Land of Discourse on Dao", and a "sword idiot" who is known as "one sword breaks all magic".

His name is Su Xiao.

But he doesn't like to laugh.

At this moment, a little Taoist boy came to him, bowed to him and said: "Senior Brother Su, the pavilion master wants me to tell you something - one of the twelve famous utensils, the 'Jinghong Pen', today There's a new owner."

"Oh." Su Xiao said lightly.

His gaze remained focused as before, and the movement of swinging the sword in his hand did not stop.

"Brother Su, the Pavilion Master said that the Laoshan ruins in Jiaodong Province will be opened soon. Our Jiange has a quota, and she decided to give it to you, Senior Brother."

"Oh."

"Brother Su, the pavilion master also said that the fourth prince Xiao Shangzhen, Luojing Shangguan Jin, Xiangyang Chen Yanping... and the new owner of the 'Jinghong Brush' will all go to the Laoshan ruins at that time. When you go there, you must Perform well, and don't lose the prestige of our Jiange."

"Oh."

"..."

After Xiaodaotong explained the matter, he turned and left.

He was already very familiar with the temper of this Senior Brother Su.

Fame, rivals, the court, the prestige of the sect, and even the famous artifacts in the legend... To Su Xiao, they are all floating clouds.

He doesn't care about everything in the world.

He only has a sword in his heart.

What he has to do is practice sword, practice sword, and practice sword again.

Practicing to the extreme is the way.

 Thanks to Ya Ya Juan for Shi Xiaohan's 200 rewards, and thanks to Yufu, Xueya Xinxin, who really want to read quietly for 100 rewards!
