Chapter 8: The Master in charge of cooking
"Apricots." A clear, pure voice came from the shore.
Ruan Xingyan turned her head and smiled, "Master." ”
Seeing that she had changed back into her half-sleeved blouse, her long skirt tied to her knees, and staring at the river motionlessly with her half-bent body, he asked her, "What are you doing?" ”
"Master, I want to catch fish."
"Have you been standing here for a long time? His face was all tanned. ”
"It's okay, although there is some sun here, but the wind is very cool, not to mention that the sun is about to go down now."
Seventeen Jun felt sorry for her for no reason, and quietly attracted two and a half large fish to swim into the bamboo basket at her feet.
Ruan Xingyan happily hurriedly picked up the basket, and the two fish followed the bamboo basket.
"Wow! Master, Master, I got it, I got it. She exclaimed, raised her hand, and her joy overflowed, and as soon as she landed on the shore, she walked back.
"Apricot, put on your shoes."
"Forget." Ruan Xingyan then remembered to put on her shoes, walked back and smiled at Seventeen Jun, put on her shoes and ran back.
"Apricots, skirts!" Seventeen Jun reminded her again.
The hem of her big skirt tucked up at her waist was a mess, revealing her white little thin legs, and she didn't care about it at this time, so she only replied in a loud voice, "Raise the fish first." ”
"Where's Xiaobai? Master, do you know? Ruan Xingyan didn't see Xiaobai, who was still accompanying it by the lake, thinking that it was back, but she didn't see it after looking around the yard.
"I'm afraid I'm out foraging. It's a white tiger and heals itself quickly, and we also helped it with medicine, so it's already well, don't worry. ”
Ruan Xingyan is not only worried, but also disappointed, she really wants to have a white tiger pet, the domineering and mighty white tiger accompanies her, and she also has an extra playmate!
When it was dark, Ruan Xingyan was once again distressed by her talentless cooking skills.
She stir-fried a wild vegetable from the mountains and a fish soup, which was not always so delicious. She remembered that Grandma Zhou and her father could cook it very fragrant no matter what they did, but in her hands, the taste was just wrong, she obviously burned it step by step according to what Grandma Zhou taught. Although her ingredients are insufficient, Grandma Zhou also taught her skills, saying that a dish only needs salt to taste and can be cooked, but she can't understand the essence.
"Apricot, why don't you give it a try as a teacher." Seventeen Jun, who had been watching her cook, saw her unhappiness and walked up to her to speak.
"Okay, there are still some dishes left, Master, you can cook them." She said listlessly.
Ruan Xingyan didn't expect that her master would be able to stir-fry the vegetables in a decent way just by watching her do it once.
What surprised her even more was that the dishes he made were very similar to the taste of her father's cooking, in short, they were better than her cooking. This made Ruan Xingyan inevitably scold, whether she was too clumsy, so she couldn't do it well.
After eating the dishes cooked by the master, Ruan Xingyan said expectantly, "Master, will you be responsible for cooking in the future?" ”
Seventeen Jun nodded briskly.
Ruan Xingyan exclaimed happily, "Yay! ”
Ruan Xingyan has learned a lot of medicinal herbs with Seventeen Jun in the past few days, but she doesn't remember their effects.
Every time she came across a herb, Seventeen Jun would tell her about the efficacy of the herb. Ruan Xingyan is not a genius, she doesn't have an amazing memory, and she has a limited amount of what she can remember in her head.
Seventeen Jun was also very patient, and told her again and again.
Ruan Xingyan thinks that this is a good master, not only good looks, but also patient, good character, good temper, good medical skills, and more importantly, she has recently discovered that she has good cooking skills. She sighed several times that she had a good fate, and when she crossed over to this otherworldly continent, she met a very good master.
Every morning, they go up to the mountains to pick herbs and come back in the middle of the morning.
When Ruan Xingyan woke up in the morning, Seventeen Jun had already gotten up, and she also helped her cook breakfast, which was a habit quietly developed between them.
The little white tiger did not leave, but disappeared for a period of time every day, went out to look for food, and then appeared in the yard. It gradually became familiar with them, especially very attentive to Seventeen Jun, which made Ruan Xingyan very jealous. Although the master saved it, she was the first to notice that it was injured, wasn't it? Why does it always behave coldly and arrogantly towards itself?
"Xiaobai, I'll find you something to eat, can you give me a touch?" Ruan Xingyan sent a sweet smile and sincerity.
However, the little white tiger did not turn his head in the slightest.
"Xiaobai, don't you like the name I gave you. My master really didn't call you that. She lowered her head to meditate, but she felt incredible. It is an ancient tiger that understands another meaning of Xiaobai?
"Otherwise, let's make a deal? I'll give you a nice name, and you let me touch it? ”
The little white tiger shook his pointed ears.
Ruan Xingyan saw his small movements in his eyes, and then said, "Call you Xiao Hei?" Little Tiger? Xiaoba, domineering tyrant? Serena Williams, the mighty of the mighty? Xiao Wang? King? ”
She said several times in a row, and then found speechlessly that the little white tiger had been holding her ears until the name of the king was pronounced, and it suddenly straightened up its pointed ears. She laughed out loud and shouted, "Master, Master, this little thing is so interesting. ”
On that day they went to the land of the hills of the West. The little white tiger watched them fly away, and then walked leisurely towards the mountains and forests. There is a lot of food here, enough for it to fill its stomach every day, but there is a cheating hostess who makes it speechless. The sound of "goodbye Xiaobai" made it feel congested, and it was still the name of the king domineering.
Every time the clouds are soaring, it is a stimulating experience for Ruan Xingyan. This is an ability that only immortals have, but she has an immortal master, and the mortal body can also follow the clouds. At first, she didn't dare to look down at the scenery, she thought it was scary, after all, she was stepping on a light floating cloud. It's been a lot of times, and she's used to it now.
The place where the Canxi Garden is located is surrounded by high mountains, but the location is not close to the side of the mountain, but in the middle of the open field, and such a location is full of light. This prescription is thousands of miles away, and it is a secluded and uninhabited land. The gate of Canxi Garden is facing the south, and not far in front of it is the crystal clear lake. On the other side of the eastern hill is a cliff near the sea, on the west side of the mountain there is a river flowing from the north mountain, and on the other side is Wansha Village, which diverts water from the ground to Wansha Village. Seventeen Jun told her that the top of the West Mountain was the closest place to the Heavenly Realm in the mortal world, so no one could cross the West Mountain to this place.
They went to Ah Zhi's house first, and this time they brought a lot of medicinal herbs. Ah Zhi is not at home, only Ah Zhi Niang is.
Ruan Xingyan told Ah Zhiniang that they were here to send them medicinal herbs, and when they prepared their things, they would come to pick them up next time.
Ah Zhiniang kept them for a while, and they didn't stay long, and talked to Ah Zhiniang for a while before leaving.
