Chitose words

It was the first day of the first lunar month of the fifth year of Jingan.

Get rid of the old and welcome the new, and everything will be prosperous.

Xie Zhao, who was full of confidence, finally produced a table of dishes that looked like they should be cooked after several hours of rattling in front of the stove.

At first glance, the plates are neatly arranged, and it’s really a sight to behold.

The four of them sat around the dinner table, looking at the table of deceptive dishes, and there was silence for a moment.

Han Changsheng signaled Ling You with his eyes.

——Young Shaoxia Ling, you come first?

Ling You looked suspiciously flustered for a moment and avoided Han Changsheng's expectant gaze.

But after a pause at the next moment, the kind-hearted Ling Shaoxia still couldn't bear to refute Xie Zhao's face and good intentions, so he cleared his throat and prepared to drop the chopsticks.

Unexpectedly, a pair of chopsticks had already landed on the cumin lamb leg on a white porcelain plate on the dining table before him.

...It turned out to be Bo Xi.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if Xie Zhao is not as good as before, he is still the "best sword in the world" in the past.

The top masters of martial arts in the world can be said to have one weapon that can lead to hundreds of weapons.

Therefore, the lamb leg was made very decent by Xie Zhao's superb kitchen knife skills!

Dozens of neat and beautiful knife marks were made on the beautiful and graceful lamb legs against the muscle texture.

The "wounds" of the knife marks were also "cruelly" stuffed with exotic spices, cumin, chili seeds and bay leaves introduced from the Ruian Dynasty and Fenglan Dynasty that they spent a lot of money to buy in the West Market in the afternoon.

The lamb leg is cooked thoroughly in boiling water with rice wine added to remove the fishy smell. Then it is fished out, dried, stuffed with various spices and roasted in firewood. The outside is charred and the inside is tender, and the whole room is filled with fragrance!

Bo Xi stretched out his chopsticks and gently pulled on the edge of the lamb leg, and easily pulled off a piece of tender lamb that was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Then, under the gaze of two pairs of eyes with blazing eyes, he calmly and calmly cut it off. Put it in your mouth.

The moment the mutton entered his mouth, Bo Xi's chewing movements paused slightly.

Immediately he continued, and after a few movements, he swallowed the mutton leg meat in his mouth.

Han Changsheng hesitated to speak and asked impatiently:

"How, how is it? Can you eat it? Bo Xi, don't force yourself. If you eat during the Chinese New Year and your stomach is damaged, you won't be guilty."

Bo Xi laughed when he heard this and didn't say anything.

Just cut off the chopsticks again and landed on another plate of pan-fried veal steak.

Han Changsheng was startled.

"Ah? You're still here? You don't have to work so hard to save face for A Zhao."

Bo Xidian smiled and shook his head.

She swallowed the small piece of veal steak in her mouth, which was cut into a perfect size for the diner to eat in one bite.

Then he turned to look at Xie Zhao and praised:

"Miss Xie's way of handling the ingredients is very clever, the recipes and seasonings are unique, and the heat of the dishes is also controlled appropriately. I didn't expect that you are also a superb cook."

Xie Zhao pretended to smile modestly, "hehe", and his eyebrows were curved and his eyes looked cunning.

"Really? I told you earlier that I am actually very good at cooking! It's a coincidence that you still don't believe it."

".seriously?"

Han Changsheng doubtfully picked up the wooden chopsticks on the table and decided to verify the authenticity himself.

His chopsticks reached for a plate of cold beef tripe on the table, while Ling's chopsticks reached for a dish of braised chicken with sauce.

The next moment, when the food came into their mouth, the two of them looked at each other for a moment, then shut their mouths obediently and began to drop their chopsticks quickly.

It can be seen that Xie Zhao's cooking skills are indeed as good as she boasted before, and she is indeed very good!

Even Han Changsheng, who has always been picky, couldn't say "It's not that good" without conscience at this moment. He was busy throwing chopsticks at this moment!

The three friends ate happily, but Xie Zhao, the cook, only moved his chopsticks a few times, put down the wooden chopsticks in his hands, and watched them eat quietly with a smile.

Han Changsheng took the time to glance at her as he ate and poured out the food. His mouth was slowly filled with food and his voice was slurred.

"What are you looking at us for? Why don't you eat it yourself?"

Xie Zhao smiled and said: "You, this unworldly young man, must have rarely set foot on the stove in the past? So maybe you don't know that people who cook can't eat much."

Han Changsheng finally swallowed the food in his mouth. This time he finally spoke more clearly. He said strangely:

"Why?"

Aren’t working people supposed to be hungrier and have more appetites?

Ling You shook his head and smiled lightly, and answered for Xie Zhao:

"Because the cook is cooking in front of the stove and smells the smell of fireworks for a long time. After smelling it, he may not want to eat it."

Xie Zhao laughed and said, "That's the truth."

Han Changsheng picked up another chopstick and boiled the fish meat, and said in surprise:

"Is there anything else you can say?"

Xie Zhao raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a smile.

"Idiot, it seems like you, a young man from a wealthy family, have never experienced any hardship in your childhood.

Why did you suddenly come up with the idea of ​​​​making a career in the world? Does your family feel relieved? "

In fact, although Han Changsheng rarely mentioned his family members.

But Xie Zhao had already guessed his true identity through his living habits, temperament, and some clues.

Han Changsheng was too simple, and his martial arts were so commonplace that people who traveled around the world would inevitably encounter accidents or dangers.

I don’t know how his family can safely let him, a young man with a simple mind and not very developed limbs, go out alone?

Han Changsheng puffed out his cheeks and glanced at Xie Zhao guiltily.

"Of course they are worried, but that's easy to do, just run away from home."

Xie Zhao smiled and shook her head. Sure enough, it was quite different from what she had expected.

After hearing this, Ling You put down the bowl in his hand and looked at Han Changsheng with a frown.

"You ran away from home too?"

and also?

Han Changsheng was startled for a moment, but then he came to his senses.

Yup!

Didn't Ling also run away from home and secretly carry his master down the mountain?

They are really a pair of brothers who share life and death, joys and sorrows!

Han Changsheng grinned happily.

He patted Ling You's shoulder heavily and said loudly and righteously:

"Good brothers, forever!"

Ling or: "."

Where is this all going?

Does it matter?

Xie Zhao glanced at Han Changsheng with an expression that looked like a fool, then smiled lightly and said:

"I advise you, it's better to go home as soon as possible. If I hadn't deliberately concealed your traces along the way, do you think you could really hide it from your 'family' and live a prosperous life in the world? Years without being discovered?"

She picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea, then put down the teacup and said something surprising.

"Han Changsheng, do you really think that the 'Rumeng Ling', a sect that is famous for buying and selling intelligence information and the most well-informed sect in the world, is just a gang of idlers?"

Ling or: "."

Bo Xi: "."

Han Changsheng: "?!"

His face turned pale with shock and he almost jumped up on the spot!

".You? How did you know that my family is 'Rumengling'?!"
