Xu Mingxi hurriedly said: "I said I don't think it's red oil cabbage, but I didn't say that it's cabbage wrapped in fish head, don't pull me to stand in line with you, whoever still seems to you will lose every gamble!" ”

Li Yuanfan was stimulated by this, and immediately dissatisfied, glanced at Fang Qi, who was extremely looking forward to his quick betting, and then glanced at the cabbage heart that was not good-looking, and slapped the table: "The third cousin wants me to bet so much, but in fact he doesn't want me to bet, but my cousin's elbow has never turned to my side, if I guess wrong, you will definitely deliberately wave your hand at me, remind me that the cabbage is not wrapped in a fish head, misleading me that I can't win money, this time I won't be fooled." I believe in myself, I bet thirty taels of silver, but I have a request, Xu Erlang must bet thirty taels no matter what he bets! ”

"Let's go down." Xu Mingxi summed up with a smile: "Now the fourth cousin is betting on red oil cabbage, which was originally proposed by the third cousin, and the third cousin will definitely call." ”

Qin Zhi nodded hurriedly.

"Li Dalang's cabbage wrapped fish head, I don't stand in line with him, and I don't think it's red oil cabbage, so I bet that both of you guess wrong, and the bet will be thirty taels." Xu Mingxi pointed at Qin Yuan again and said, "Now only the second cousin has not expressed his position." ”

"The second brother must be on the side with me!" Li Yuanfan hurriedly hugged Qin Yuan's shoulder, and did not forget to hold a bamboo chopstick as a knife threat.

Qin Yuan snatched the bamboo chopstick, slapped it back on his cousin's plate, and said angrily: "If you talk about tacit understanding, I should naturally bet with Second Brother Xu, but this time I was a little hesitant, because I knew that the third sister's cooking skills were taught by Aunt Wen, but Aunt Wen had never done this...... Cabbage heart, of course, dishes such as green yun danyi and red oil mixed cabbage are created by the third sister, but the reason why it is special is also because of the chili seasoning. So I think this cabbage heart is created by the third sister, it should be red oil cabbage, and I also bet thirty taels with the third brother. ”

"You can't trust me?" Li Yuanfan shouted, extremely distressed.

"Cabbage heart wrapped in fish head, it's really a shame big cousin, how did you come up with it, how could the third sister make such a dish that is not good-looking and delicious? Then it's better to make a pot of fresh soup with sea bass head and cabbage! Qin Yuan resolutely did not side with his eldest cousin.

"Then I'll announce it first." Fang Qi said with a smile, and first opened a bowl lid on the table: "This is ginger and spicy soup, the sea bass head is here, Cousin Li must have lost." ”

A spicy and umami smell suddenly hit his nose, and Li Yuanfan was extremely annoyed: "Third cousin, you are too cunning, I want you to open the lid of this bowl earlier, as soon as I smell it, I still don't know that the head of the perch is already in the ginger and spicy soup." ”

"Come on, who doesn't know that you have a long mouth and no hands? Do you know what ingredients are in ginger and spicy soup? Not to mention smelling, even if you put a bowl for you to taste first, you won't be able to eat the sea bass head in it. Xu Mingxi ruthlessly debunked Li Yuanfan's true face of being lazy.

Fang Qi closed the lid of the bowl again.

"I covered it with ginger spicy soup so that the spicy taste of ginger wouldn't take away the aroma of another dish." Only then did he move, motioning to the woman to open the soup pot, and a fresh fragrance spread with the wind again.

The servant woman put the fresh soup in a big bowl and put it on the dining table, which even Xu Mingxi was surprised.

"This looks like a bowl of boiling water, but how can this boiling water have the umami taste of soup?"

Fang didn't answer, just used a large soup spoon to stir the "boiling water".

"This dish is the first time I've made it, and I don't know if it will be successful, but in any case, the winner or loser of the game is decided."

She only held a spoonful of soup and slowly poured it on the cabbage heart, only to see that the erected cabbage heart was slowly blooming like a flower bone, and then a spoonful of hot soup was poured on it, from budding to blooming, like a lotus flower floating on the clear waves.

Mo said that the audience was amazed, and even Fang Qi himself was excited about such an effect.

As soon as Xu Mingxi raised his eyes, he saw the white smoke, the woman's slightly reddened cheeks, and the smile was slowly in her eyes, and the powder was like a lotus blooming.

This made him suddenly regret calling the other three Lang Jun...... Second Brother Xu seems to have forgotten that the third sister is actually not from his family, but from the family of the two classmates surnamed Qin.

After lunch, Xu Mingxi called Fang Qi to speak to the bridge corridor on Chengchi, and he was still reminiscing about the boiling water cabbage: "Cabbage can make such a delicious taste, and the soup color looks the same as Qingshui, I am afraid that even the kitchen in the palace can't make this dish, and the third sister is really getting more and more capable." ”

"It's not that I came up with a fantasy, the second brother doesn't dare to praise it like this, but I gave the second brother a look, the second brother won sixty or seventy taels of silver today, it's still the old rule, half of us." Fang Qi smiled so much that he even showed seven or eight teeth.

"Take it all three sisters." Xu Mingxi suddenly felt a little dizzy, and secretly wondered, could it be that he drank too much today?

"Then I'll take it, and I'll invite the second brother to have a drink next time." Fang Qi still came according to the old rules, and was not polite with Second Brother Xu, and asked: "Second Brother asked me to come to Gulouyuan to meet today, isn't it really to eat fish?" But there was an echo from the last time I asked Second Brother Xu to do so? ”

"It's for that." But Xu Mingxi inexplicably felt that he didn't want to get down to business so much, and asked, "Why does the third sister pay attention to Yan Wudu?" ”

Fang Qi was stunned.

She asked Second Brother Xu in the past to ask No matter what happened, Second Brother Xu didn't ask the reason, so she didn't think about how to explain it at all, but she didn't know what to say for a while.

Xu Mingxi looked at Fang Qi quietly, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be a little irritability in his heart, and the woman next to him was naturally curious about Yan, but the third sister was so curious...... Didn't you admire Yan Wuwu because he was young and promising, and his appearance was outstanding, right? !

Yes, yes, the third sister is old enough to discuss relatives, and she almost married Peng Zizhan by mistake, although she has broken off her friendship with Peng Zizhan, how can the head of the Xiangdi not find a husband for the third sister, and the third sister herself will inevitably have ideas, but that Yan is unprovoked, and he is not a good person!

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Mingxi didn't wait for the response of Fang Qi: "Yan Wudu, this person is quite mysterious, he has never studied official school, and he has not heard of which private school he was taught, as if he has been traveling outside, and rarely stays in Lin'an. During this year's Lantern Festival, at the palace banquet, he seemed to have given the prince of Yiguo is his elder brother an embarrassment, and even Yan's unprovoked uncle Guanglu Temple Shaoqing Huang Gong said that he was rampant. ”

"What embarrassment did Yan unprovoke his brother?" Fang Qi asked.

"This ......" Xu Mingxi choked up before saying: "The details of the palace banquet have not been passed on, and it will not be too unorthodox, not many people know the details, I heard from my eldest brother that the official family has claimed all the treasures that were awarded to Yan Shizi." And Yan Shizi's cousin Huang Yuanlin was upset for his cousin, looking for Yan to ask for an explanation, that day Yan Wudu happened to drink and have fun with several Langjun of the Luo family, in response to Huang Yuanlin's question of 'framing his own siblings', he didn't defend at all, only said, 'What can you do with me', Yan unprovoked discord with his brother is definitely not a false rumor. ”

Fang Qi bowed his head, but thought in his heart: This is really the style of Yan Bingdao, and it is indeed something he can do.

Xu Mingxi thought: The third sister Bing Xue is smart, and she should be able to think that Yan Wudu is so domineering, she must be disliked by the Duchess of Yiguo, and his future wife will inevitably be angry with her mother-in-law.

But in the end, I don't feel at ease, think about it or put the things that I inquired about: "Yan Wutuan happened to save the King of Wei in Huazhou two years ago, and was valued by the officials, he was not going to take the imperial examination, and he never thought about entering the imperial examination at all, since he returned to Lin'an, but whenever someone intends to make friends, he does not refuse, and the prince and the king of Wei are frequent. In this way, there are a lot of drill camp gangsters flocked to the top, although Yan Wutuno was not married, I heard that he built a golden house in the garden, the golden house raised many singers sent by others, and he often drank and sang in the golden house, my father's evaluation of him was that this son did not know what his talent was, but there was no doubt about the profligate wreckage. ”

Fang Qi bowed his head again: Yan Bingdao went back to Mrs. Wen's house twice and brought two different beauties, it is indeed a woman with different styles, are they all women from the Golden House? But such a cold and fierce person seems to be a bit contradictory to the style of the profligate skeleton, right? Isn't it just me who is cold and fierce?! It's too much, I don't have time to glove the white wolf in front of him, why don't you look at me unpleasantly.

Xu Mingxi thought again: Although the third sister is not jealous, which woman can tolerate the future husband's indulgence? Yan Wutuno relied on the luck of the time to win the favor of the official family, and immediately lived a life of lustful dogs and horses, where is this a good match? The third sister shouldn't still have a good impression of him, right?

Immediately, I heard Fang Qi ask: "Yan Wutu, who is a good confidant?" ”

Xu Mingxi: !!

Why hasn't the third sister given up yet?!

"Why does the third sister want to get acquainted with Yan Wudu?" Xu Mingxi asked solemnly.

"To tell you the truth, I offended Yan Saburo for something, as for what I can't tell my second brother, I just want to find someone who can be trusted to intercede, so that Yan Saburo can stop holding grudges." Fang Qi can only respond like this.

It's not that she doesn't trust Second Brother Xu, but Yan Chi's means of rescuing General E are too amazing, and she can't believe her words anymore, in case she wants Yan Chi to know that she also told others about it...... The skate blade will chase her straight to the door and dismantle her.

Xu Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the third sister did not belong to him, and suddenly felt a gust of breeze floating over against the clear water, bringing a refreshing cool breath, the subtle feeling of dizziness was gone, and the inexplicable sense of irritability was swept away.

"The vast majority of Yan unprovoked contacts are powerful and noble, or they are villains in the camp, there is only one Xin Dalang Xin Yuansheng, who is the eldest son of Xin Gong of the Privy Council, and Yan Wudu heard that they have been friends since childhood, and my eldest brother and Xin Dalang are also speculative, I will go back and talk to my eldest brother about this, in two days, I will be the host, and invite the third sister to my house, don't you have the opportunity to invite Toxin Dalang?"

Fang Qi was busy saying thank you.

Xu Mingxi told his brother Xu Mingjiang about it that day.

Xu Mingjiang is five years older than Xu Mingxi, he has entered the Shike and the first, he is the eldest son of the family, according to the rules of the Xu family, the eldest son of each branch is to take the fame first and then talk about marriage, so although there are two in the twenties, and his wife Cen Niang is still newly married like glue knees, he entered the office not long ago, he was recently awarded the minister, the official business is not busy, after the duty, go home, and play with his wife to smoke incense and tea and play against the piano, and live a quiet life, so his younger brother came to see him, and he did not let his wife avoid it.

Cen Niang asked: "This is strange, the Xiangdi and the Yiguo Mansion have nothing to do with each other, how can the third cousin offend Yan Sanlang?" ”

Xu Mingjiang glanced at his wife and smiled slightly: "Yan has a cold and arrogant temperament for no reason, and the third cousin is not out of the door, maybe there was a conflict when he met on the way, Yan is unreasonable and unforgiving, this kind of thing, we don't need to worry about it, the third cousin is complete, Yuansheng has a good temperament, this little favor, even if I open my mouth, he will never refuse, Erlang let the third cousin rest assured, wait for me and Yuansheng to make an appointment, let your sister-in-law invite the third cousin over." ”

Cen Niang's expression was strange for a moment, and then turned calm.
