Chapter 253: The Ninth Master (Second Watch)
He suddenly felt embarrassed, and patted Li Ping'an's back awkwardly and said, "That's okay, then I'll go and do things first......"
He anointed the soles of his feet and wanted to slip away.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't go." Li Ping'an seemed to have grabbed a handle, laughing at the old treacherous and cunning, pulled Shuangxi's sleeve to prevent him from leaving, and whispered: "You haven't sued me yet, why do you suddenly care so much about Dongmei?" You...... Do you have a crush on her? ”
It's as simple and rude as men talking to men.
Shuangxi opened his mouth, couldn't say a word for a long time, and finally could only nod and admit happily, and said with a red face: "You also have a sweetheart, what does this feel like, I don't need to say more, right?" ”
Li Ping'an laughed, nodded knowingly, and whispered: "Does Dongmei know your mind?" ”
Shuangxi said bitterly: "If you knew, I would still ask you what you are doing in private?" It's because I don't know her mind that I ......" He sighed, scratched his head, and said, "Why do you think this woman is such a headache?" ”
Li Ping'an grinned, patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's it, since you are a brother, then I will help you, and I will let my family Pan'er inquire about you." ”
"That's a good dare." Shuangxideng's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Okay, okay, okay, that's it." If it's done, I'll invite you to drink. ”
"Okay, that's it." Li Ping'an nodded, and the two walked out of the gate side by side with a smile.
A moment later, the barbecue master arrived.
This barbecue master is very elegant, in his forties, dressed as a Uighur from the Western Regions, and the Central Plains dialect is good, although it is not a correct word, but it is also a leader among the Uighurs.
Huo Tianyou called him Jiu Ye, the surname Jiu is the surname of the Uighurs, and the surname of the Uighur Khan is Jiu, so this Jiu Ye should not be small.
Huo Tianyou exchanged pleasantries with the Ninth Master, and introduced Lu Shuyi to the Ninth Master.
This ninth master's eyes were very sharp, and he looked at Lu Shuyi with a smile, and finally took out a very delicate jewelry box from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Shuyi: "The first time we met, a small gift is not a tribute." ”
How can Lu Shuyi take other people's things, just wanted to excuse herself, who knew that the ninth master seemed to be able to see through people's thoughts, and immediately said: "We send things to the Uighurs, as long as we take it out, there is no reason to take it back, the girl should accept it, don't embarrass the old man." He said to himself, laughing.
When it came to this, Lu Shuyi couldn't accept it, so she could only take it with a smile, and thanked her solemnly.
"The things sent by the Ninth Master must be good things." Huo Tianyou smiled brightly, and his eyes fell on the box in Lu Shuyi's hand: "Miss Lu, it's better to open it and take a look, and let me see the treasure of the ninth master." ”
The ninth master smiled: "You, you, how good can I be?" No matter how good it is, it's not as good as those treasures in your hands. After a pause, he said, "But this thing for Miss Lu is indeed a good thing, and I only got it recently." Turning his eyes, he looked at Lu Shuyi and said, "Girl, open it and take a look." ”
Lu Shuyi smiled lightly, and had to order Mo Ju to open the small jewelry box.
As soon as the box was opened, the contents lit up everyone's eyes.
Huo Tianyou reached out and took the contents inside, which was a filigree open gilt bracelet embedded with various colored treasures.
The bracelet is inlaid with nine gemstones, including two ocean-blue opals, which are as blue as the sea and have a sober and elegant appearance. There are also three fingertip-sized garnets side by side, shining and dazzling. The other four emeralds are of excellent quality, bright color and delicate texture.
These gemstones are set in red gold, and the whole bracelet shines brightly and catches the eye.
Mo Ju and the others were stunned.
It's a girl who loves beauty, and it's the first time they've seen such a beautiful thing.
No matter how arrogant the Lu family is, the young ladies in a few rooms don't have such a thing.
Mo Ju felt that it was too precious, and quietly pulled Lu Shuyi's sleeve, a little at a loss.
How can you be embarrassed to accept such a valuable thing?
But everything has already been accepted, how can you be embarrassed to return it? Moreover, the Uighurs are very bold, and if you return something, you will look down on them, so you must not return it.
I can't return it, so I can only keep it.
Huo Tianyou took a closer look and said with a smile: "Well, the three gemstones are all superb, especially these two sea-blue opals, which are even more outstanding." ”
The ninth master laughed: "Well, the second son really has a good eye, these two opals are indeed extremely rare, but such a bracelet is also just right for this Lu girl, ordinary girls, may not be able to wear its brilliance." ”
Lu Shuyi's face turned red, and she thanked her again: "The ninth master is really love, the little girl really can't afford it." ”
"What's not to afford? You can afford it. The ninth master smiled again, and then changed the topic and said: "Everyone must be hungry, I'll go kill the sheep first, and the fresh mutton is delicious when it's roasted." ”
"You brought sheep with you?" Lu Shuyi looked at Jiu Ye in surprise.
"No, the sheep was prepared in advance by the second son, and it was raised by the farmers in this village, and the water and grass here are fertile, and the meat quality of the sheep should be good." When the ninth master talked about the topic of roast mutton, he said: "...... This killing sheep is also a science, if you kill it well, the mutton will not be old, and the roasted mutton will retain its original flavor. If you don't kill well, the blood will accumulate and the meat will not taste good, so you must be steady and ruthless when killing the sheep, so that the sheep will be less painful and the meat will be more delicious......"
Lu Shuyi's eyes widened and she listened curiously.
She never knew that roast lamb was so exquisite.
However, the Lu family rarely eats roast mutton, and even if they do, they are all roasted lamb legs, and the taste of the roast is average, and she doesn't like to eat it very much.
“…… In addition, the heat and ingredients of this roast mutton are also very particular, and if you don't grasp any of them, the taste of the mutton will not be too good......"
Seeing that she was listening seriously, the Ninth Master smiled and invited her: "Go, do you want to see me kill sheep?" ”
Killing sheep?
Lu Shuyi immediately shook her head.
Although she also eats mutton, she doesn't want to see the killing, and she really can't see the bloody scene.
"Go ahead, I won't see blood."
She smiled awkwardly.
Jiu Ye was not reluctant, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Most of the women of the Han family are like you, and our Uighur women will not be afraid of this, they have watched sheep killing since they were children, and they will kill sheep themselves when they grow up." In fact, there is nothing, sheep and people are the same, and if there is life, it is inevitable to die......"
Lu Shuyi still didn't dare to go.
However, Pan'er and Dongmei had eager expressions on their faces, as if they wanted to take a look.
"If any of you want to go and see, just follow the Ninth Master, I'll just stay here." Lu Shuyi took a step back.
Huo Tianyou couldn't help but chuckle, glanced at her and said, "Then you can stay here and drink tea, and I will also help the ninth master." He quipped: "If you want to be delicious, you have to do it, otherwise the sheep will not fall into their mouths for no reason." ”R1152
