Chapter 600: Duplicity
Xu Zhilan continued to practice the sword for a while, she practiced with Qin Laodao's method, not only did she not feel tired, but her body did not appear to have the feeling of soreness all over her body after dancing the sword before.
"Goo-goo..."
If her stomach doesn't growl, she shouldn't remember that it's time to cook. She hurriedly put down her sword and ran to the kitchen, she first lit the pot, put a scoop of water, then poured a small bowl of rice into it, and stuffed a few fire-resistant firewood into it before she began to think about what to cook.
She found three eggplants, a couple of tomatoes and potatoes on the table. There was still a freshly killed chicken she had bought today, and there were many fresh eggs in the clay pot. So the dish he wanted to make immediately came to mind, so he immediately put on an apron and got busy.
Qin Laodao, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, smelled the aroma of food and immediately opened his eyes. I saw a few dishes on the stone table.
They are cold eggplant, potato stewed chicken, and there seem to be eggs in the tomato soup?
At this time, Xu Zhilan came over with two bowls of rice and a smile.
"Grandpa Qin, how is it, it looks pretty good, right?"
"Well, it looks pretty good, and it smells good, but I've never seen this way of eating this way before."
Qin Laodao pointed to the dish with tomatoes and eggs, a little puzzled.
"Hehe, this is called tomato and egg soup! The taste is exceptional! ”
"yes, then I'm going to have a good taste!"
Qin Laodao carefully picked up the spoon and scooped half a spoonful, tasted it, and suddenly looked at Xu Zhilan in surprise as if he had found a new Daxu.
"Yes, I've lived so long, I've never had such a delicious soup! Really good! ”
After saying that, he took another bowl, filled a bowl, and drank it in a big gulp. He picked up his chopsticks again and tasted the cold eggplant, and a smile of surprise appeared on his face.
"This eggplant melts in your mouth, it tastes beautiful and fragrant, and it is a little spicy, and it is of the highest quality!"
Xu Zhilan was naturally very happy when he heard it, and let Qin Lao Dao taste the potato stew and chicken, and Qin Lao Dao was full of praise.
Qin Laodao originally had a bad taste during that time, but the dishes made by Xu Zhilan were so delicious, he opened his appetite for a while, and couldn't help but eat three bowls of rice, and there was no food left on the table.
"Girl, your cooking skills are really amazing, I wonder, you are a daughter, you should not touch the spring water with ten fingers since you were a child, how can you do this?"
Qin Laodao finally couldn't help but ask this time, his doubts had been in his heart for a long time.
"Uh... Well... Hehe, I've been hungry since I was a child, and often before I got to dinner, my stomach would be hungry, so I ran to the kitchen to find food, every time I saw those cooking masters, I felt curious, no, I learned to look at it! ”
How could Xu Zhilan tell the truth, so he made up a lie to prevaricate the past, after all, she is indeed delicious, and this reason is really not outrageous.
Qin Laodao nodded, I see, but it is also, this girl really loves to eat.
In the afternoon, Xu Zhilan helped with the work, she was tired but out of breath, she didn't feel that she had done much, the sun was in the west. Xu Zhilan stretched his waist and planned to make dinner.
"Girl, that's it for today! Go back early while it's still early. ”
"Well, but..."
"There aren't many people on our street, and I don't want you to walk this road alone at night."
"Hehe, Grandpa Qin, are you caring about me?"
"Nonsense, if you have any three longs and two shorts, how can I explain to Xufu?"
"Oh~ I see!"
Xu Zhilan deliberately lengthened his voice, he cared about me if he cared, and he found this excuse.
"Don't grind, go back quickly!"
She smiled and nodded, and when she left, she didn't forget to tell Qin Laodao.
"Grandpa Qin, I'll come back tomorrow, you won't do it today, I'm too tired, let's rest early!"
"Got it, be careful on the road! Don't be playful, go back early! ”
Qin Laodao told her a few words this time, and Xu Zhilan knew that Qin Laodao really began to care about her.
The relationship between the two is getting better and better!
Xu Zhilan happily said "oh", then got on the horse and galloped towards Xu Mansion, after the last experience, she knew that she would be tired to death if she didn't ride a horse or take a carriage to Qin Lao Dao. So today she took her horse with her, and still held her sword in her hand. Today is a fruitful day!
The street where Qin Laodao's shop is located is very remote, and there are still a few sparse people on the street during the day, and when it comes to dusk, there is basically no one, but it is very convenient to ride a horse, and you can gallop at will. But when I arrived at the neighborhood where the Obu Mansion was located, it became extremely prosperous and lively. Not only are there more people during the day, but there are many times more people at night than during the day.
However, there are not only dignitaries and wealthy businessmen in this district, but also many people who come to buy things and play. Because the neighborhood where Xufu is located is the "rich area" in the city, everyone is very yearning. Not only are there so many vendors in the night market that you can't even see them, but there are also too many teahouses, restaurants, Fengyue venues, gambling halls, restaurants, theaters, and cloth villages to count.
There are so many people on the street that it's hard to ride a horse on the street. When approaching that area, it was already dark, and Xu Zhilan dismounted and led it away. After all, there are a lot of people, and if there is some hairy child who angers the horse, the consequences are unimaginable.
Xu Zhilan led the horse and looked around. I saw a vendor selling rock sugar gourds in front of me, so I happily walked over.
"Master, how do you sell this?"
"Three texts in one string, ten in ten can take four strings!"
Xu Zhilan thought that there was a bayberry plum and Lan'er at home, and he thought that after all, he was a child, and he must also like to eat very much, so he took out ten cents from his purse and gave it to the vendor.
"Give me four strings!"
"Okay!"
The vendor wrapped four strings of sugar gourds tightly in brown paper and politely gave them to Xu Zhilan.
"Girl, come often! I'm here every night! Our sugar gourds are sweet and sour, and you're guaranteed to want to eat them a second time after the first time! ”
The vendor didn't forget to sell his own sugar gourd, and Xu Zhilan also smiled politely, saying that he would come often.
Xu Zhilan saw that there was a shop in front of him buying freshly baked xiaolongbao, so he touched his stomach, hehe, it's not too late to eat a little steamed bun and go back!
As soon as she entered the store, she suddenly felt that everyone's eyes fell on her. She frowned, touched her face, and looked at her clothes again, okay? Why are you staring at me? She was a little uncomfortable being stared at, so she quickly found a place to sit down. As soon as he sat down, the shopkeeper ran over.
"Girl, what are you going to do?"
"Bring me a drawer of xiaolongbao first, and then some chili oil!"
"Okay, wait a minute."
"Wait, Xiao Er, look at what I have on my face, why do they all stare at me as soon as I come in!"
Xiao Er was about to leave, Xu Zhilan stopped him and asked in a low voice, his eyes still glancing at the people around him.
"They might be weird..."
He scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
"What? I'm going to eat xiaolongbao, what's so weird? ”
