The water in the casserole was already boiling, and Xue Ya halfway covered the lid, and the fresh smell of fish wafted through the kitchen with the sound of boiling water. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info [Free Novel Reading]

Xie Tangchen and Xue Ya didn't speak, just stood quietly by the wall, as if they were indulging in the sound of the fish soup tumbling.

In the end, it was Xie Tangchen who broke the silence. He said with emotion: "It smells so good! It's been a long time since I've smelled anything like this. ”

Xue Ya twisted his young and delicate face, and said with some joy and some distress: "Childe will drink a little more in a while, compared to the last time I saw you, you have lost some weight." ”

Xue Ya's voice was not high, and with the interference of the sound of fish soup boiling, Xie Tangchen didn't even hear the second half of what she said. So he turned his face strangely and said, "What the girl is saying, I didn't hear it clearly......"

His action was very sudden, Xue Ya was defenseless, the faces of the two were so close to each other all of a sudden, Xue Ya could almost feel Xie Tangchen's warm breath spraying directly onto his face.

Xie Tangchen also blushed all of a sudden, and he hurriedly took two steps back and said: "It's really careless, I have no other intentions, I hope the girl will forgive me." ”

Even if Xie Tangchen quickly dodged away, Xue Ya could still smell the smell emanating from him, making him dizzy, lingering around him for a long time and unable to dissipate.

Xue Ya lowered her head and tried to calm her ups and downs: "I know, don't blame yourself. ”

Xue Ya suddenly remembered something, and she took out a small porcelain vase with a lid from the embroidered bag around her waist.

"Gongzi Xie, stretch out your hand."

Xie Tangchen didn't know why, hesitated, and obediently spread his hands and raised them in front of Xueya.

Xue Ya saw that his movements were as cute as a child, and there was already a light smile on his face. She opened the lid of the small porcelain vase and dripped some rose-red liquid onto Xie Tangchen's hand.

A not-so-strong floral fragrance emanated from Xie Tangchen's hand, and he frowned slightly: "What is this?" ”

"It's a water-protecting rose oil." Xue Ya explained.

"Why does it smell so big!" Xie Tangchen said with some disgust: "How can I use this as a big man?" ”

Xue Ya insisted: "It's just an expedient measure, and I'll bring you some unflavored hand oil again." But today Childe must wipe some of this. ”

"I never use that." Xie Tangchen was still awkward.

"Gongzi Xie, you see how many openings have been opened on your hands, and there are still wounds that were scratched by fish scales today, if you don't protect them well, I'm afraid that there will be more cracks tomorrow." Seeing that he still refused to obey, Xue Ya patiently persuaded: "Childe can't be willful in this matter, because you still have a sister to take care of, don't you?" If your hands are still full of cracks like this, if Sister Ling sees it, can she bear to let you stew soup for her and let you wash her? ”

At the mention of his sister, a heartache flashed in Xie Tangchen's eyes, and he pursed his lips and sent back the hand he had withdrawn.

Xue Ya sighed in her heart, and reached out to apply some rose oil to the crack on Xie Tangchen's hand.

At this time, a shopkeeper suddenly walked in outside the door, and as soon as he saw Xie Tangchen and Xueya holding hands in the middle of the kitchen, the shopkeeper immediately closed his eyes and turned around and walked outside.

Xue Ya and Xie Tangchen's attention was all on their hands, but they turned a deaf ear to the shopkeeper coming in and out.

The shopkeeper turned his back and stood at the door of the kitchen, and said with some anxiety: "The little one is going to come here to pick up the pastries ordered by the guests, Gongzi Xie and this girl...... The little ones are so offended! ”

Xie Tangchen and Xue Ya raised their heads in surprise at the same time.

Seeing the shopkeeper standing at the door, he looked shy and didn't dare to step into the door.

The two looked at each other suspiciously, only to find that their four hands were all entangled. After Xue Ya understood what was going on, she blushed in an instant, and her hand pulled back like an electric shock.

Xie Tangchen didn't react as strongly as Xue Ya, but a layer of light red also fell on his cheeks: "Don't talk nonsense, this girl and I met in Pingshui, and there is no other relationship." My sister is not in good health, and this girl is here to help me stew fish soup. ”

The shopkeeper walked into the kitchen suspiciously, took the pastries, didn't stop for a moment, and left quickly.

The strange behavior of the shopkeeper made Xie Tangchen and Xue Ya feel a little embarrassed. Xie Tangchen saw Xue Ya's face red, and in order to resolve her current predicament, he immediately said: "My hands are already covered with oil, and the cracks don't hurt anymore." Let the girl bother. ”

As he spoke, he naturally withdrew his hand and bowed.

Xue Ya naturally understood his intentions, took a step back, and distanced himself from him: "I'll go and see if the fish soup is good." ”

Coming to the casserole, Xue Ya tested the consistency of the soup with a wooden spoon and felt that the pot of fish would be ready soon.

But now the problem comes again, although Xue Ya made fish soup with Qiluo when she was in Hanyang Palace, she was all working at that time, and the main work was all done by Qiluo. For example, whether a soup is good or not, seasoning is the key, but this work is all carried out by Kira, and Xue Ya really hasn't interfered.

"At that time, the timing of watching Qiluojia seasoning was almost out of the pot, which means that now is the right time." Xue Ya thought.

She turned around and asked Xie Tangchen softly: "The fish soup is almost ready, I don't know what flavor Ling Mei likes to drink, I can add seasoning." ”

Xie Tangchen is such a smart person, he watched from the side, and also found that Xue Ya's cooking skills were not very skilled, and he rarely went to the kitchen when he wanted to come to home. Why did such a wealthy daughter fall to the point of showing cats and dogs to the rich when she was a small broker?

Although he had doubts in his heart, Xie Tangchen did not show it. He looked at Xue Ya and said gently: "My little sister has a light taste, and she is not used to eating thick soup, so she can cook for her with only a little salt." ”

Xie Tangchen's words made Xue Ya feel relieved, because there were so many bottles and cans in the kitchen, she only recognized sugar and salt.

After putting a little salt, the umami of the fish soup became even stronger, and even the other people in the inn were attracted by the aroma and probed their heads at the kitchen door.

Xue Ya put the fish soup into a large bowl with a lid and wrapped a thick cloth on top to keep it warm. Then he took the bowl of fish soup and walked upstairs.

Xie Tangchen had already opened the door at this time, and his sister was also tidy and sitting on the edge of the bed. Seeing Xue Ya come in, Xie Tangchen immediately helped her stand up, walked to Xue Ya's side and saluted and thanked her.

Xue Ya knew that she was a patient, and no one would blame her if she didn't salute, but she had to struggle to come over and thank her, which shows that Xie Tangchen's family has a very strict family education.
