Aftertaste looked at her with inexplicable eyes for a while, sighed long, sat on the edge of the bed, handed over the ginger syrup in his hand, and whispered:

"It's almost drink, and it won't hurt in my stomach after drinking it."

Su Miao thought that he thought that he was having a stomachache now, so he was nervous, so he looked at him for a while, snorted from his nose, sat up, took the ginger syrup, and drank it in one go. Although it was not very delicious, it was very comfortable to get hot in her stomach, and she glanced at the aftertaste, snorted from her nose again, and asked:

"Why did you suddenly come to this ship?"

"Brother Yan said that they all went to the shore to walk, but you didn't go with you, I guess you may not be feeling well, so I came to see you." Aftertaste replied lightly.

Su Miao looked at him directly.

Aftertaste finally sensed that something was wrong, and finally understood that this little bit of something seemed to have nothing to do with her stomach, so she asked:

"What's the matter, what do you want to say?"

Su Miao stared at his face and stopped talking, and asked her bluntly if you don't like me because I lost the game, she couldn't ask anything, after all, it was too strange, I had never heard of a couple who broke up because of the loss of the game, but she also vaguely felt that the situation between her and the aftertaste was different from ordinary people, and the aftertaste was because of the loss of the game and the loss of her soul after coming to her house because of the craft of cooking to fall in love with her for a long time. It's really possible that there is something abnormal in the craft of cooking, which affects the relationship between the two, but she can't say this kind of thing, and normal men and women will not have abnormalities because of this kind of thing. Once such doubts are spoken, it is as if the relationship between two people is abnormal, which is too embarrassing.

"What do you like about me?" But without asking, Su Miao felt panicked again. So after thinking about it for a long time, she asked sadly and changed the way she asked.

Aftertaste looked at her with a rather strange expression, his face froze, he looked at her for a moment, and then leaned forward "reluctantly" and gently circled her body. Whisper:

"It's not good for me to ask you such a question."

"......" Su Miao's face turned green, and she was encircled in his arms. Gritting his back molars, he asked word by word, "When I was teaching cigarettes, did you eavesdrop?" ”

The aftertaste is helpless. Let her go. After thinking for a while, he said to her:

"I have something to say to you."

He suddenly became solemn, Su Miao was slightly stunned, thought about it, crawled out of the bed, sat upright, and said seriously:

"Say it."

Huiwei glanced at her and said, "During the Liangdu finals, the contestants from other provinces all lived in Huixianglou. I want to ask you if there will be a lot of suspicion, if there are many suspicions, I still have Zhuangzi outside the Huixiang Building. You can also go to live there, but there is one thing, there are too many troublesome people in Liangdu, you try not to go into the city by yourself, if you want to enter the city, tell me first, if I am not available, I will find someone to accompany you. ”

Su Miao was stunned, and looked at him in a daze, she felt a little weird, but she was going to Liangdu to participate in a race and take a trip by the way, how could it feel so dangerous to say it from his mouth.

Aftertaste seemed to see her doubts, and replied solemnly:

"The people of Liangdu are not more gentle and simple than the people of Fengzhou, there are many officials and nobles at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and there are many ruffians and liars, there are too many girls in your family, and it is too dangerous for the girls to go on the street alone in Liangdu, if you want to go out, you must ask me first."

Su Miao still didn't quite understand that he still had to get his consent to go out, but thinking that he was also worried about his own safety, although he was reluctant to do so, he still nodded.

"You came this time my sisters and sisters are here, I'm afraid that you won't be used to living in Xianglou, and when you get to Liangdu, you can go directly to my Zhuangzi, although it is not big, the environment is not bad, and it is clean and quiet." Seeing that she was so obedient, she made the decision directly.

Su Miao was still speculating about his intentions, but at this time, he suddenly thought that Huiwei's father and mother both lived in Huixiang Building, and no matter how much he said about it, he didn't live comfortably under one roof, and he thought that Huiwei probably also had this consideration, so he readily agreed.

Seeing that she happily responded, she was relieved, paused, and continued:

"One more thing."

"What's the matter?" Su Miao was completely attracted by him, and forgot that he was angry just now, and when he saw that he wanted to speak, he asked suspiciously.

Aftertaste glanced at her and didn't speak.

Su Miao looked at him with suspicious eyes, but a bad feeling suddenly rose in her heart.

After looking at her for a while, he replied in a light tone:

"I, decided to participate in the Liangdu finals."

Su Miao was stunned.

This is not an impact, but it is definitely a shocking sentence, he said that he wants to participate in the Liangdu finals, in fact, this is not something worthy of making people feel novel, the participants in the Liangdu finals are divided into two parts, one is a very small number of leaders who won from the provincial competitions, and the other part is the representative players of the major restaurants in Liangdu and the outstanding individual chef in Liangdu, the aftertaste is Liangdu people, he is fully qualified to participate in the Liangdu finals.

Merely......

"On behalf of Huixianglou, or on an individual basis?" She quickly suppressed her confusion and asked in a deep voice.

"Huixianglou never participates, even if it comes from Huixianglou, it is always in the name of an individual." Aftertaste replied.

Su Miao nodded lightly, she wanted to say something, but her lips didn't move, she didn't say anything.

The aftertaste also fell silent.

Su Miao's head turned quickly, once she reminisced about the competition, they were opponents, and most importantly, she had lost one of her most powerful assistants.

This time Cheng Tie and Zhao Ping followed her, Cheng Tie she completely trusted, but Zhao Ping is a big man, not to mention Zhao Ping's temperament Su Miao doesn't like it too much, too eager for quick success, poor self-control, easy to be blinded by anxiety, the people she wants to rely on are Cheng Tie and Huiwei, but Huiwei now suddenly told her that he was going to participate in the competition, so where should she go to find the rest of the assistant, is it really Feng Erniu's child?

She remembered that when she was in Fengzhou, he told her to let her bring a spare assistant, so Feng Erniu followed. It can be seen that he has had this idea since he was in Fengzhou, but he has never told her. Su Miao wasn't angry, he didn't tell her before, so she didn't have time to choose a good assistant, but she brought Feng Erniu's child, Su Jizhong really couldn't find an assistant who was suitable to go out with her. She can't let Su Ji go out of business for the sake of the competition, so she left the aftertaste, and the only thing she can use now is Feng Erniu, although this kind of duck catching on the shelves sounds funny.

"You don't want to say something?" Looking back at her unpredictable face without the slightest sign of anger, she was not an ordinary woman, if other women were afraid that they would jump up and call him a traitor, but she didn't say anything. Just quietly calculating in his heart, Rao is so, he still can't help asking. There was guilt in his heart, and this guilt he couldn't speak, but it didn't prevent him from feeling guilty, and he asked her.

Su Miao came back to her senses. Glancing at his face. Nodding his head, he said lightly:

"Okay."

In the aftertaste, her "good" should not be an answer to his words, but a "good" that he is going to participate in the competition.

"I want to wrap it up." Although he didn't want to explain, after a long silence, he still spoke softly.

Su Miao thought for a while and smiled faintly:

"Okay."

After the aftertaste, there is nothing else to say.

The door was slammed open from the outside, and Su Yan rushed in. Holding a bag of candied golden silk dates, he said loudly:

"Second sister. I bought dates for you! ”

As soon as the words fell, I felt that the atmosphere in the room was not quite right, and the voice was subconsciously put away, staring at a pair of big eyes full of unease.

The quiet atmosphere in the room was broken, Su Miao came back to her senses, reached out and took the candied golden silk dates he handed over, threw two into her mouth, chewed for a while, and suddenly asked Su Yan:

"Is the second girl back?"

"I'm back." Su Yan didn't understand why she suddenly thought of Feng Erniu, but she still nodded.

"Go and call the second girl to the kitchen." Su Miao commanded lightly.

"Huh? Oh! Su Yan didn't understand at all, but he still responded obediently, turned around, and fled as if flying.

Aftertaste returned to the boat, Su Miao didn't have time to pay attention to the stomachache, she began to train Feng Erniu, the competition stipulates that each contestant must bring three assistants, although Su Yan can also use it, but he is going to study in the academy this time, a group of snobs in Liang Duli, if he lets his future snobbish classmates know that his hobby is cooking, he can't keep that the snobbery will bully and laugh at him, she doesn't want her younger brother to be ridiculed and bullied, so she has to make more efforts to train Feng Erniu.

Feng Erniu was overjoyed, she studied very seriously and hard, especially when she learned that she might follow Su Miao on the stage as an assistant, she was surprised and worried, worked harder, forgot to sleep and eat every day, worked tirelessly, and even a pair of hands were swollen because she was not suitable for such high-intensity training.

Su Miao didn't say that Aftertaste was going to compete, but the strangeness between her and Feng Erniu still aroused Su Xian's suspicions, and when Su Xian learned that Feng Erniu might come to the stage as an assistant, she immediately thought of Aftertaste, so she ran to question, and Aftertaste happily admitted. Su Xian was furious, and when she came back, she asked Su Miao again, Su Miao also admitted it, and behaved lightly, as if it was nothing remarkable, so Su Xian was even more angry:

"He's clearly 'elbowing out', and you're letting him go? He has the audacity to pull your hind legs, if you don't set rules for him now, you will pay it back in the future! ”

"He didn't steal anyone, eldest sister, you're exaggerating." Su Miao said disapprovingly.

"This is more serious than stealing people, this is a naked betrayal, he decided without regard to your thoughts, he is digging into your corner, he doesn't take you in his eyes at all!" Su Xian was even more angry than Su Miao, she was so angry that her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys hurt, she was about to explode, as if she was the one who was betrayed.

Su Miao smiled: "Eldest sister, he's just going to compete." ”

"I wouldn't say anything if it was just a simple competition, but this time the competition was attended by you, but he didn't even discuss it with you, and he decided alone, did he take you in his eyes, he didn't have it at all!" Su Xian was furious, glaring at her with hatred, "He decided on his own, aren't you angry at all, you stupid girl!" ”

"Why be angry?" Su Miao sharpened the knife with a whetstone, and said lightly, "A personal relationship is a private relationship, and future development is a future development, I am a peer with him, and a peer can be both a partner and an opponent, if you are really angry because of this kind of thing, it is unreasonable." ”

Su Xian was so angry by her calmness that she laughed angrily: "You and him will be opponents immediately, if he wins you, will you not be angry?" ”

"The strong wins, if I am not as good as others, I shouldn't be angry, I should feel ashamed." Su Miao said with a smile.

Su Xian laughed and laughed, feeling more and more angry, she hugged her chest with her hands and rolled her eyes.

Outside the kitchen, Aftertaste, who was about to knock on the door and go in, paused after listening to the conversation inside, didn't go in, turned around and left, and met Su Yan who was coming, Su Yan saw him, twisted his face to the side and refused to pay attention to him, Aftertaste didn't care, and left Su Miao's boat straight away, and went to the head boat.

The second time the passenger ship docked at the port was when the ship was abandoned and the car was changed, at that time it was already the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and the town of Nanxiang, where the ship docked, was still a five-day drive from Liangdu.

Nanxiang Town is the estuary of the Qingjiang River, and it is also the last stop of the Qingjiang Shipping, although Nanxiang Town is only a town, the area is large, and the size of a third-tier city is about the same, the market is prosperous, there are many residents, the businessmen who do business walk the streets and alleys, the port wharf is full of magnificent and luxurious official ships, many of them are hung with bright yellow flags, those should be the ships that transport the royal royal offerings from all over the world.

Different from the gentleness and grace of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, this place already belongs to the boundary of Liangdu, with a rich and awe-inspiring atmosphere of history, and is full of solemnity and majesty that belongs to the feet of the Son of Heaven. The people here are also very different from those in the south, they are tall and well-spoken, and at the same time, there are many etiquette rules, and people get along with each other at a glance, not as casually as they did in Toyosu.

Compared with the feet of the Son of Heaven, even though the Fengzhou Water Town is graceful and picturesque, in the eyes of the people of Liangdu, they are also from the countryside and have never seen the world, when they stayed in the hotel, the guys at the inn knew that they were not from Liangdu when they spoke with a Jiangnan accent, and their faces were a little contemptuous, but because there was an aftertaste standing next to him, he hurriedly took away the contempt in his eyes, and warmly beckoned them to go upstairs to sit in the private room.

When I got off the boat, I recalled that I had notified my family to pick it up, but I didn't find the carriage to pick it up, so I took Su Miao and others to the largest Longcui Building in Nanxiang Town.

From the moment she got off the boat, Su Miao and other female dependents were forced to wear veils, Su Miao and Su Chan were the most unwilling, but they were forced to wear them by Su Xian and Lin Yan, Lin Yan said that there are too many bad people here in Liangdu, and the girl's family is not safe if she does not hide her face, and will be considered frivolous and dangerous by the bad guys, Su Miao reluctantly put on a veil, and walked on the street only to find that there are very few women who go out on Liangdu's side, even if they go out, they are covered with veils.

Knowing that the rules here are strict, she felt a little uncomfortable. (To be continued.) )
