Fifty-one. A good meal

On the morning of the fourth day of the lunar month, there were only a handful of people in the general's mansion who came to take leave, and Xiao Fei disappeared early in the morning.

Qin Nanxi is used to getting up early and has the old habit of reading in the morning, so he doesn't have breakfast with Xiaofei. When she put down the book in her hand, it was almost dawn, and when she looked up, she saw that the sky outside the window was as blue as washing, and the ground was covered in silver, which was a rare good weather in recent days. Her leg injury was nearly healed, and as long as she walked slowly, she couldn't see any obstacles.

The door of the room due north was ajar, and Situ Yi's figure was pacing back and forth inside. In Layue, there was no important military affairs in the camp, and Qin Nanxi lived in the house, and he did not leave after he came back a few days ago.

"Someone," he called out in the room.

He didn't know that everyone was gone? Qin Nanxi was wondering, and when he raised his voice again, he called "Someone is coming".

There was no one left but her, so she had to smile and slowly approach the door.

Situ Yi in the room had his back to the door, he was reading a scroll of documents in his hand, and when he heard the footsteps at the door, he ordered without raising his head: "I'm hungry, go get some food." ”

Qin Nan was stunned, didn't say a word, and quietly turned around. It's just to get some food, and it's not a lot of work, and she doesn't mind. Besides, when Song Ma came to take leave, she had already explained that her breakfast had been prepared, as long as she brought it. Even if no one prepares it, she can cook a decent dish or two. She is a dignified daughter of the family, and the female celebrity cooking skills are naturally not a problem.

Qin Nanxi guessed Situ Yi's expression when he tasted his craft, and slowly walked towards the kitchen.

Although Song's mother's cooking skills are not good, she is a neat person, and she takes care of a small kitchen. Under the dustpan of the stove were still the few unformed snacks, and they were still neatly stacked on the plate as usual. The ashes in the pond were cold, and a pile of chopped dry wood was prepared at the corner of the door. The weather in Yunze was dry, and the use of fire in the general's mansion was strictly managed, so Song Ma didn't dare to keep the fire.

Seeing this, Qin Nanxi was in trouble. Her cooking skills have been praised by her father, and it is indeed not difficult for her to be in charge, but in the past, when she was a young lady, she naturally had a few people in the house around her, and she could be responsible for making a variety of dim sum dishes, but she never paid attention to how to make a fire.

"Can't you just bring this cold thing to him and tell him I can't make a fire? Isn't that going to be laughed at by him again? Qin Nanxi muttered to herself. She was very reluctant to let him see herself as an ordinary and useless young lady.

Hardened her scalp, while carefully recalling the scenes of cooking in the past, she picked up a pile of dry firewood at the door with half guessing and half guessing, stuffed it all into the fire, and picked up the fire fold on the kitchen shelf, and lit a fire in an orderly manner.

I went all out for a long time, but I saw the green smoke in the pond, but I couldn't see a single flame! Pity her, the eldest lady who used to only need to hold her hands and sleeves in the palm of her hand, coughing wildly from the thick smoke. She didn't care about coughing, raised her hand to wipe a handful of tears that couldn't stop surging wildly, and hurriedly picked up the pu fan and kept fanning the fire, and she couldn't help regretting it in her heart.

"I'm still going to order my general's mansion!" Situ Yi didn't know when he stood at the door.

Qin Nanxi was stunned, and couldn't help but wonder why she was seen by him every time she was embarrassed?

"Why, if you can't click it, you still don't give up!" Situ Yi smiled.

Qin Nanxi had no choice but to lower his head and turn around, but he continued: "I forgot that today is the fourth day of the lunar month." It's hard for you! Come out! I'll wash your hands and make soup for your eldest lady! After all, starvation is a big deal! He looked at her, his smile as bright as the light of day. As he spoke, the man had rolled up his sleeves and walked to the fire.

Qin Nanxi stepped aside, pouting and disagreeing: "It's not that you said you're hungry!" I just can't make a fire! Even my dad praised my craft! ”

Situ Yi got up when he heard this, and said with a smile at her words: "So if I let you out of the kitchen, it will be really impermeable?" Okay, I'm going to give you a hand today, so I can try a good meal that makes people 'full of praise'. ”

Qin Nanxi only thought about saving face in his heart, and accepted his radical general as ordered: "Hmph, just do it, I'm not Xiaofei, you're not afraid of you!" I'm afraid that you still want to eat a meal! With that, he turned to the front of the case and got busy seriously.

Situ Yi also did what he said, and he really obediently started to fight beside her, and he did whatever she asked him to do, never saying a word more, and not doing a wrong step.

In a short time, the meat and vegetables are suitable, and the three dishes and one soup that are both salty and sweet have been prepared in the hall.

Seeing Situ Yi's eyes full of surprise and appreciation when he stared at the dishes on the table, Qin Nanxi was secretly smug, but he deliberately said humbly: "You don't have all the materials here, so I have to make do with it first!" ”

"Is this okay? I can't believe you can make such a good dish! But no one has ever made such a delicate dish for me. Situ Yi stared at the dishes on the table, but he praised them sincerely.

Situ Yi's words are true, he said it very naturally, but it fell into Qin Nanxi's ears but was a little sluggish, it turned out that he didn't pay attention to eating and drinking, but no one had ever done his best for him. Looking at his surprised look, she felt a little sour in her heart, and said softly with a hint of distress: "It's never too late for you to taste it, this hasn't entered your mouth yet, how do you know it's a good dish!" ”

Situ Yi smiled without raising his head: "It's delicious to look at, it must be good!" Before the words fell, he lifted the wooden chopsticks and feasted on them. Every time he tried, his eyes would bloom with surprise when he looked up at her, and he was full of praise for her.

The greatest pleasure of cooking is the praise of the diners, Qin Nanxi looked at him gobbling up, and was also very happy, so he sat happily beside him, while casually holding the dishes he sandwiched to her plate, while chatting, "Why are all the people in the house on leave today?" What is the fourth day of the lunar month? ”

Situ Yi took a bite of food and said: "The fourth day of the lunar month is the snow hunting festival in Yunze, and there will be a big gathering in the city. I had allowed them to take a vacation every year today, but this year Arlo happened to be absent, and they all knew that if they went to ask me for leave, I would not be allowed to leave, so they all ran to ask you for leave! It's getting more and more unruly! It seems that it is not possible to punish them! "He has always ignored the miscellaneous affairs in the house, and he is very generous to his subordinates, so although his subordinates sincerely defend him, they do lack the rules that should be followed. When people came to Qin Nanxi to take leave early this morning, she was in a dilemma, she was just a guest, and she couldn't be the master of the general's mansion in theory, but those subordinates kept saying "The general is the only one who obeys Miss's order", so she had to nod.

Seeing the annoyance between his eyebrows, Qin Nanxi raised his lips and persuaded: "It's not a big deal, just wait for Ah Luo to come back and let her deal with it, why bother with it." ”

Situ Yi paused when he heard this, put down the wooden chopsticks in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Ruoqing sent someone to say that something was delayed, and he was afraid that he would only come back in the middle of the year." You'll probably have to wait a few days to hear from you. ”

"Oh~" Qin Nanxi also stopped his hand, printed the corner of his lips, and only responded lightly. Now, for her, Brother Xu's whereabouts are no longer as simple as before. Things are bound to have their way, so why should she ask? After that, he raised his head, and asked with curiosity about the inconsequential thing he had just said: "What is Yunze's Snow Hunting Sacrifice?" Xiaofei said that he wanted to see the excitement, but it was really very lively? ”

Situ Yi raised his head with some surprise, and said slowly, "Every year, the fourth day of the lunar month is the day when the Yunze Orions sacrifice to the goddess of the Snow Mountain. In the half-year snow season of Yunze, the hunting in the snow-capped mountains is extremely difficult, so at the end of the hunting period every year, the hunters who return safely will be very pious and grateful for the protection and blessing of the goddess of the snow-capped mountains. This sacrificial ceremony has a long history, and it is also very grand, and later after Yunze built the city, the day of sacrifice has gradually become the most important festival here, every day, there will be the largest big market in the city of the year, and the market is indeed very lively. ”

"No wonder Xiao Fei disappeared early in the morning! It turns out that there is such a fun and lively to make up! I've never seen Orion's sacrifice, will you take me to see it? Qin Nanxi listened attentively, and his body unconsciously leaned towards Situ Yi.

Situ Yi raised his eyes to meet her, his gaze froze, and then he smiled, but he didn't speak.

"For the sake of me making you such a good dish, you can take me to see it!" Qin Nanxi tilted his head and talked to him about the conditions.

Situ Yi still just looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of doting.

Qin Nanxi was wondering about his changeable expression, when he saw him suddenly raise his right hand, bend his index finger slightly, probe her left cheek, and calmly wipe it a few times before withdrawing his hand.

"What is he doing here! The embarrassment in the floating pavilion is coming again? Qin Nanxi was almost roaring in his heart, but his body froze in place, staring at him with big eyes and horror.

I saw that he wiped the fingers that had just wiped her cheeks very naturally, and said with a relaxed smile: "Anyway, Nanxi once called me brother for a day, Yunze is my territory again, taking you around is the friendship of the landlord, why do you need such a good meal in exchange!" What's more, Sister Nanxi also stained her face for this meal and made a face of firewood, I should be doubly grateful as my brother. ”

It turned out that when he wiped his tears, he wiped his face with firewood! Thinking that she had been commanding him with a face of firewood ash for most of the day, Qin Nanxi felt a burst of scorching heat from the neckline and burned up, and it was too late to be ashamed, she just lowered her head, pulled the handkerchief and wiped her face indiscriminately, how could she blame him for being too intimate and frivolous.

"I don't know if this good meal is used to reward my sister?" Situ Yi smiled warmly, and reached out to hand over a string of red and colorful bracelets.
