Chapter 68: The Fish and the Bear's Paw
And Xiang was about to walk back, when suddenly a cold voice called her, "Xiang'er, Xiang'er, Xiang'er......"
Although the voice was cold and soft, Xiang heard it clearly, and he was shocked and confused, and he was puzzled by the familiar appearance of this voice.
Xiang heard from the blind mother-in-law that when a person is about to die, he is called by a ghost, and if you follow that voice, then you will die, and then she can replace your place to reincarnate.
Xiang didn't believe that she died at such a young age? Regardless of whether the blind mother-in-law was talking nonsense or not, this voice came from a strange place, and this place was also very strange, so she ran in the direction she came.
But that voice was always calling from behind, and he couldn't shake it off at all, "Xiang'er, Xiang'er......"
Xiang's name is Xiang'er, except for the blind mother-in-law and the lame father-in-law, that is, the dead mother, thinking of this, is that voice a mother?
Xiang Zhuang listened carefully with courage, the voice was indeed similar to the mother's voice, which reduced Xiang's fear by more than half, no matter what, the mother would not harm her daughter even if she was a ghost.
"Is it a mother? is it a mother?" Xiang asked twice with the courage to ask, the call was gone, and then there was a deathly silence, and then the black shadow like a card appeared in the smoke, slowly approaching.
"Is it a mother?is it a mother?" Xiang asked twice, and planned not to run away, anyway, the surrounding environment was the same strange, and the black shadow and voice couldn't get rid of it, so she just came to face it head-on.
Soon, the black shadow stopped not far away, and suddenly shouted again: "Xiang'er, Xiang'er......"
"Is it a mother? I'm incense, I'm incense. "Xiang has already raised her courage to the limit of her life, and the voice of this shout is too similar to the voice of her mother, and it is a big deal to break the net.
The voice also continued: "It's my mother, it's my mother, Xiang'er, my mother misses you so much......"
Xiang Niangniang's ghost is extremely miserable, and it seems to be crying at the same time.
"Mother, I miss you too, I miss you too......" Xiang also said in a crushed tone, in the palace, there are countless sons and wives, and the prince and princess are generally closest to their mothers, and they are similar to single families.
Xiang Bian walked towards the black shadow, emotion occupied his mind, and he didn't care if the black shadow was a ghost or not, even if he knew that it was a ghost, he had to walk over, after all, it was his mother.
However, when Xiang got closer, the black shadow automatically retreated a little, and was always unwilling to contact Xiang, which made Xiang very puzzled, since it was his mother, why didn't he dare to meet?
"Mother, mother, why don't you see me, why don't you see me?" Xiang asked suspiciously.
The black shadow, that is, Xiang Niangniang said: "People and ghosts have different paths, Xiang'er, we can't see each other, I came to see you today, I have violated the rules of yin and yang, if we meet, my mother will be scattered in an instant and no longer exists." ”
Hearing Xiang Niangniang's words, Xiang immediately stopped walking, Yin and Yang were separated, although it was a short distance but no one could see whose appearance clearly, and the incense that Xiang Niangniang saw was also a black shadow.
"Okay, we won't meet, let's talk like this, okay, mother, don't go. Xiang finally said helplessly, it is already difficult to ask for face-to-face.
Maybe it was because he saw that Xiang was no longer advancing, or maybe he heard Xiang's words, the black shadow really stopped retreating, and then said: "Okay, let's talk like this, Xiang'er, are you okay now? ”
Xiang replied: "Mother, I am safe, I am in the capital now, the most dangerous place is the safest place, Mother, I will definitely find the culprit and help Mother wash away her grievances." ”
Xiang Niangniang sighed: "Xiang'er, don't, don't, don't report your mother's grievances, as long as you are good, as long as you are good, leave the capital quickly, leave the capital and hide far away, don't think about others mentioning your princess identity, and be an ordinary person in the future." ”
Xiang said: "Mother, no, I must wash away my mother's grievances, otherwise my daughter will live unhappily for the rest of her life, otherwise it will be my daughter's unfilial piety, my daughter doesn't want to be unfilial, my daughter must wash away my mother's grievances and let the sweet potato be punished." ”
Sweet potato is the name of Xiang to the ground flower Niangniang, Xiang Niangniang didn't know what sweet potato meant, but she didn't ask, after all, this is not the point.
Xiang has a strong character and a stubborn temper, and sometimes even Xiang Niangniang can't take care of it, so Xiang Niangniang has nothing more, just hopes that Xiang will be safe in her life.
At this time, Xian felt that someone was pushing her shoulder, thinking that the blind mother-in-law was coming again, and just opened her eyes, and saw that it was Liu Ling'er staring at her with big eyes.
"Did you dream of your mother?" Liu Ling'er asked with concern, it was Xiang Niang and Niang's call that woke her up just now, presumably it was a dream, so she came over and woke her up.
Xiang nodded, knowing that her scream had woken up Liu Ling'er, and said embarrassedly: "Ling'er, I'm really sorry that I woke you up before I got up." ”
Liu Ling'er smiled: "What are you sorry for? What does we have to do with each other, by the way, let's sleep in a bed, it's going to be bright anyway, let's have good words." ”
Liu Ling'er didn't wait for Xiang to answer, so she was about to lie down on the outside of Xiang, and Xiang moved her body inside, and also gave up a Rao position.
"Wow, your body is still cold, what kind of dream did you just have? Can you tell me?"
Liu Ling'er felt cold and piercing when she touched Xiang's body, she didn't expect Xiang to have such a body temperature, it must have been caused by the dream just now, so she asked with concern.
Xiang smiled, so she briefly told Liu Ling'er about the dream just now.
After Liu Ling'er listened, she laughed and said: "I see, no wonder you are so cold, I am heartbroken, hurry, let me hug and give you some warmth." ”
Liu Ling'er stretched out her hands to Xiang's waist and hugged her tightly, Xiang was suddenly held with her bare hands, and she felt a little itchy, she couldn't stand it, and she kept begging Liu Ling'er for mercy.
No matter how Xiang begged for mercy, Liu Linger just didn't let go, and said with a hippie smile: "If you want me to spare you, you can do it, you must answer one of my questions honestly." ”
"Okay, good, no matter what the problem is, I will definitely answer your question honestly, quickly, I can't stand it, I can't stand it......" Xiang is afraid and bitter, happy and crying, there is always a little.
"Okay, listen, let me ask you, when you wash away your mother's grievances, you will definitely be able to restore your status as a princess, do you want Ma Wenbing to be your special imperial chef?" asked Liu Ling'er.
Xiang was taken aback, she didn't expect Liu Ling'er to ask such a question, and exclaimed, "What did you Wenbing tell you?"
Xiang secretly thought that only Ma Wenbing knew about this matter, and it must have been Ma Wenbing who told Liu Ling'er, so she couldn't help but blame Ma Wenbing and tell Liu Ling'er about her, of course she didn't know that Liu Ling'er guessed it herself.
Seeing that Xiang didn't speak, Liu Ling'er thought that her conjecture was right, so she deliberately stretched out her hands to the place where Xiang was most afraid of itching, forced Xiang to admit it, and continued to laugh: "Tell the truth, otherwise I don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless." ”
Xiang was made to cry by Liu Ling'er, neither laughing, hahaha, nor hehehe, blindly begging for mercy, and said: "Okay, okay, me, don't scratch me, don't scratch me, I really can't stand it." ”
When Liu Ling'er heard Xiang's words, she stopped scratching her hands and said with a smile: "Okay, you tell the truth, yes or no?"
Xiang eased her heartbeat and emotions just now, and replied, "Where did you hear that? ”
Xiang thought in her heart that she must find an opportunity to question Ma Wenbing well, and asked him what he meant by this, since he didn't want to be a special imperial chef, she wouldn't be reluctant to talk to him, why should she let Liu Ling'er come over and intervene.
"No, really, don't lie to me. Liu Linger didn't believe in Xiang's words, since Baihu Mountain, Liu Linger felt that there seemed to be a secret affection between Ma Wenbing and Xiang.
Xiang said: "Definitely not, if you don't believe it, you can ask Ma Wenbing." ”
Xiang can kill two birds with one stone, one can judge whether this is Ma Wenbing's, if it is really his, Xiang will definitely ask Ma Wenbing to confirm, and the other can also show that his words are true.
Hearing Xiang like this, Liu Ling'er also retracted her hands, after all, this matter was her guess, although Xiang's words were very uncredible, but the topic was still relatively shy after all, so Liu Ling'er didn't plan to ask.
Xiang was also very puzzled, not knowing that Liu Ling'er would ask such a thing, so he asked: "Ling'er, who told you this?
Liu Ling'er smiled and said: "No one told me, I guessed, of course I don't want Ma Wenbing to stay in the palace, it's not convenient to get in and out, my father has been a chef in the palace for decades, and my mother and I never see him." ”
Xiang deliberately smiled: "Do you like Ma Wenbing?"
Liu Ling'er originally wanted to disguise it, after all, she was a girl, and she was a little shy, but thinking that since the incense had already come out, she was just preconceived, so she nodded.
Seeing Liu Ling'er nodded, Xiang's heart sank, she didn't expect Liu Ling'er to like Ma Wenbing too, it's no wonder, they grew up together, it's not strange that Ling'er likes Ma Wenbing, but it's difficult, she also likes Ma Wenbing, and if it doesn't make a good fuss in the future, I'm afraid it will become a love burden
"Hey, what are you thinking?" Kan Xiang was silent just now, she must have thought of something, so Liu Ling'er asked.
At this time, there is already some light, and those early vendors also begin to shout, and the key to whether the business is prosperous is whether it is good in the morning.
Xiang shook his head and said with a smile: "I didn't think about anything, you like Ma Wenbing, you will be happy, it's already bright, we should also get up." ”
After Xiangwan got up first and began to groom and dress, Liu Linger woke up in the middle of the night and wanted to sleep for a while, but at this time there was a knock on the door.
"Xiang, senior sister, have you woken up, it's time for breakfast. Ma Wenbing said outside.
It was the first time to eat breakfast so early, because Liu couldn't sleep, probably because the game was about to start, and he was still uneasy, so he woke up Ma Wenbing, and he wanted to prepare for the game wholeheartedly today, so he asked the second store to bring breakfast very early, so he called Xiang and Liu Ling'er to come over for breakfast together.
At this time, Liu Ling'er hadn't gotten up yet, and Xiang hadn't dressed up yet, so Xiang said: "Wen Bing, wait a minute, we'll come over in a while, you knocked on the door outside." ”
"Oh, then the master and I are waiting for you, come quickly. Ma Wenbing returned to his room after finishing, and the second store quickly brought the food in.
After waiting for a while, Xiang and Liu Ling'er still hadn't arrived, Liu Ling'er hadn't gotten up at all, and Xiang was still dressing up.
"Forget it, we won't wait for them, they're tired too, let's let them sleep a little longer, and we'll go to the kitchen to cook and come up with some creative dishes after eating. ”
Liu said in the end, began to eat breakfast, and let Ma Wenbing eat together, and Ma Wenbing could only listen to the master.
Ma Wenbing and Liu quickly finished their meal and were about to go out, when the door was pushed and Xiang came in. The fragrance that had just been combed, the ice was clear and jade, and it woke up like a sleeping beauty, which made Ma Wenbing feel shocked.
At the same time, Liu Yikou was also shocked in his heart, like such a beautiful girl, I am afraid there is no second.
Xiang chuckled, "I'm a little late, I'm sorry, where are you going?"
Ma Wenbing said with a smile: "The master asked me to go to the kitchen to practice cooking, and I left you food over there, why didn't I see my senior sister?"
Xiang said: "Ling'er, she wants to sleep for a while." ”
Ma Wenbing and Liu didn't have anything, it was very early at this hour, and there was nothing to sleep for a while, so they walked out of the room and walked towards the kitchen from yesterday.
In the kitchen, the chefs all asked Liu Yikou and Ma Wenbing enthusiastically, and they all knew each other last night, and they also knew that they had entered the finals of the food competition, and it was an honor for a chef to be able to enter the finals, so everyone respected them very much.
Liu Yikou and Ma Wenbing also responded politely, and then walked to the separate stove.
"Master, have you thought about what to cook?" Ma Wenbing asked first.
Liu Yikou smiled and said: | Now I will make fish and bear's paws, the so-called fish and bear's paws can't have both, we will have both today. ”
Ma Wenbing didn't expect to make fish and bear's paws, but this fish would be able to make it, what spicy fish, sour and hot fish, fragrant fish, stinky mandarin fish, grilled fish, steamed fish, braised fish, etc., almost all the practices in Bailai's world will do, but bear paws have never been done.
In the world of Bailai, bears are precious and protected animals, who dares to blatantly make bear's paws? But this world is different, there are countless bears in the mountains and forests, and naturally there are bear's paws.
