At dinner, Ning Xi had already recovered his normal feelings and walked out: "What did you do tonight?" ”

Now that there are three of them, naturally Rong Daquan is in charge, Meng Shuangshuang saw Ning Xi come out, and hurriedly pulled her and said: "Look, they are all what you like, shrimp roe and winter bamboo shoots, spiced mandarin fish, chicken shredded bean sprouts and a honey pig's trotters." ”

Ning Xi hadn't eaten at noon, and he was hungry at this time, so he sat down unceremoniously and ate.

Seeing this, Meng Shuangshuang bumped into Rong Daquan and said: "Look, I'll just say it, Ning Xi is not a person who can't be seen, no matter what happens, he will definitely be able to figure it out soon." ”

While eating, Ning Xi said as if unintentionally: "By the way, I thought about it, I won't participate in this cooking competition, you can help me talk about it tomorrow!" ”

"Huh?" Meng Shuangshuang and Rong Da looked at each other comprehensively, "Why?" ”

"Then why do you think I'm participating in a cooking competition?"

"For, for fun!" Meng Shuangshuang hesitated and said, "You said you wanted to come out to relax, so we came!" ”

"That's right, I'm not happy now, so I won't participate!"

"But, but, it's already in the finals, so it's not good to quit like this!" Meng Shuangshuang always felt that this was not quite right.

Rong Daquan suddenly said: "Then if you don't participate, I won't participate, let's go back!" ”

Ning Xi shook his head: "No, for me, participating in such a competition is just to be happy, do you think, with my cooking skills, do you still need a competition like Guò to prove yourself?" But you're different, making a name for yourself in the competition is good for your future fame and development, don't be rash, I think if I quit, you still have a great hope of winning the championship in this final. ”

This was a bit arrogant, but the people who listened to it were still very convinced: "Okay, Ningxi, I will definitely not embarrass you." ”

"By the way, do you have any thoughts on the topic of the finals?"

Rong Daquan shook his head: "I don't have a clue yet." The topic he drew was "Red Plum Beads", and he had been thinking about the aroma of red plums for half a day, but he hadn't come up with a reason yet.

Ning Xi smiled slightly: "I also know the recipe of this dish......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Rong Daquan: "Ning Xi, I can't rely on you all the time, this time I want to compete with my own ability." ”

Meng Shuangshuang couldn't help but tease him: "Yo, you've got a long job!" ”

Rong Daquan smiled honestly and didn't speak.

Ning Xi stood up: "You eat slowly, I'll go out for a walk." ”

Meng Shuangshuang and Rong Daquan glanced at each other, and Meng Shuangshuang hurriedly said, "I'll go with you." ”

"No, I just want to walk around alone." Ning Xi said very directly.

The two had to let her go out alone: "It's getting dark soon, don't go far, come back early!" ”

Watching Ning Xi's back leave the alley, Meng Shuangshuang asked, "Ning Xi said that she would help her tomorrow and say that she would not participate in the competition, would you go?" ”

Rong Daquan thought for a while and said, "Why don't you say it first, there is still half a month before the competition, maybe she will change her mind in a few days?" ”

Meng Shuangshuang nodded: "You have some truth in what you said. ”

Ningxi walked along the crowded road to the street, although it was already dark, but the street was still quite lively, many food stalls were set up on the side of the road, and the passers-by who returned late sat in groups on the tables and stools in the open air, and spent a few copper plates to eat a bowl of hot food, soothing their body and spleen and stomach after a day of hard work.

A familiar smell with the scent of leeks wafted over, and suddenly aroused Ning Xi's appetite, walked to the stall selling wonton noodles, and found a place to sit down.

Selling wonton noodles is a middle-aged couple, the woman is making wonton and cooking noodles, the man is responsible for running errands to greet customers, business is not bad, the husband and wife are constantly busy with their hands and feet, but from time to time the two look at each other, their eyes are full of peace and happiness.

Ning Xi thought, in fact, life may not need to be rich and expensive, as long as there is a person who can accompany him, work hard for life, and live with each other, it will be very good.

On the stove in front of the woman were two cauldrons, one was a milky white soup made from earth fish, shrimp skin, and pork bones, exuding an attractive aroma, and the other was boiling water for boiling wonton, both of which were churning and making beautiful splashes.

The woman's movements were very fast, and when she pinched and put it down, it became a wonton the size of her thumb, and the skin of the wonton was very thin, and it would spread out in the water like a flower, and in a moment a dozen of them were wrapped, and they were put into boiling water with a claw fence to be scalded, and poured into a bowl of the sea.

Then boil the noodles, the traditional alkaline water surface, the face body is smooth and elastic, put it in the boiling water and blanch it for a while, stir it up with long bamboo chopsticks, sweep the cold river, scoop on the cooked oil, spread it on the cooked wonton noodles, sprinkle a handful of chopped leeks, and then pour in a spoonful of fresh soup, a bowl of authentic Cantonese wonton noodles is ready.

The woman whispered something, and the man immediately came over, picked up the bowl, and sent it to Ning Xi: "Girl, please use it slowly." ”

"Thank you!" Ning Xi thanked sincerely, held the spoon in his left hand, poured a little light red Zhejiang vinegar, held chopsticks in his right hand, picked up the noodles and ate them slightly with vinegar, first ate half a bowl of noodles, then slowly ate wonton, and finally drank hot soup.

A simple bowl of wonton noodles gives people a sense of satisfaction from heart to stomach.

was eating slowly, when he suddenly heard someone at the next table scolding: "Stinky beggar, get out of the way, it's dirty!" "When I looked up, a skinny boy who looked to be only □□ years old had been kicked and fell to the ground.

Before Ning Xi could say anything, he saw someone help the boy up, and said coldly: "What kind of ability is it to bully children!" ”

The boy winced, swallowing at the food on the table.

The man said, "Are you hungry?" Come, I invite you to eat wonton noodles. He came with the boy and looked around, and the noodle stalls were doing very well, and the tables were almost full, and when the others saw him bring a little beggar, they all frowned, and some of them covered their noses with their hands.

Only she was alone at the table where Ning Xi was.

When he saw that it was Ning Xi, Han Xiangfei's face was happy, and he was about to say hello, but suddenly he was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to open his mouth or not, at this time Ning Xi was already smiling and beckoning to them: "Come and sit here!" ”

Han Xiangfei came over with the little beggar and shouted to the boss first: "Two bowls of wonton noodles." Then he said to Ning Xi, "Miss Ning, such a coincidence." ”

Ning Xi has a good impression of this Han Xiangfei, although he has not spoken much, but at the beginning of cooking, there was only concentration and respect for food in his eyes, and now when he sees his attitude towards the little beggar, he feels that this person has a good character.

Han Xiangfei's wonton noodles they called hadn't come up yet, and Ning Xi's had already eaten almost, but it was not good to leave like this, so they had to chat again, but the two were not familiar with each other, and there was nothing else to talk about except for the cooking competition, Ning Xi asked, "What is the topic you won in the lottery?" "At that time, she was patronizing herself, and no one else heard anything.

"The sand boat treads on the green." Han Xiangfei replied with a slight frown, he hadn't come up with anything about this dish, and he was upset, so he came out for a walk.

"Oh, Shazhou!" Ning Xi said clearly, "The sunset sky sets, and the desert is red." The camel bell rings on the ancient road, and the sand boat returns at dusk. The name of this dish is good. She obviously saw his confusion, and had the heart to mention a few words, but she felt that it was not easy to say it too bluntly, so she had to read a poem, and as for whether she could understand it, it was up to him.

Han Xiangfei suddenly realized: "It's a good ancient road camel bell ringing, the sand boat is returning at dusk, thank you Miss Ning for mentioning it." ”

Ning Xi pretended not to understand: "Hey, did I say anything?" After speaking, he called the boss to come over and meet the money, stood up and said, "You eat slowly, I'll go first." ”

Continue to walk slowly along the embankment, the river embankment is lined with green willows, the folk customs here are open, there are bold young men and women, meet in front of the flower under the moon, holding hands and whispering in the dense shade of the trees, Ning Xi has a smile on her face, but there is a subtle sense of soreness in her heart, is it that she has been immersed in cooking in her previous life, and she has never tasted the taste of love, in this breezy foreign street, actually began to think of spring?

But why, what came to her mind at this moment was Jun Qianyu's hateful face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling?

Ning Xi shook his head, wanting to drive away the unrealistic thought in his heart, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, and in an instant, the strong wind blew on his face, his neck was stuck by a strong arm, and a fierce voice sounded in his ears: "Don't come here, or I will kill her." A large knife was placed around her neck.

Ning Xi's throat was stuck and she had difficulty breathing, but she didn't dare to move at all, for fear that if that person made a mistake, the sharp blade would cut a knife mark on her neck.

Seven or eight black-clothed men who stretched out their hands quickly surrounded them: "You can't escape, why bother dying and struggling, indiscriminately hurting innocents?" The steps under his feet did not stop, and he approached the man behind Ning Xi step by step.

I only heard the man behind him laugh hoarsely: "Since you can't escape, it's good to have one more cushion before you die!" ”

Ning Xi closed her eyes, these people will not let this person go, and this person will not let go of herself, but this time, she doesn't know if there is a chance to do it again?

"Stop!" With a cold shout, Ning Xi opened his eyes suddenly, looking at the familiar figure in front of him, although he was wearing a night suit and his face was also covered with a mask, Ning Xi still recognized him immediately.

Jun Qianyu waved his hand at the group of black-clothed people and said, "Stand back, let him go!" ”

"Lord! We've been hunting down this man for so long, and if we let the tiger go back to the mountain this time, we don't know when we'll have such a good chance next time. ”

"Get out of the way!" There was anger hidden in Jun Qianyu's voice.

"Yes!" The man in black slowly retreated step by step, and the man behind Ning Xi also held her back step by step, until she retreated to the end of the river embankment.

Suddenly, the man picked up Ning Xi and jumped into the river behind him, the cold river water instantly did not enter his nose, Ning Xi panicked in his heart, and before he could open his mouth to call for help, a large mouthful of cold river water choked in......
