The Beginning of the Troubled Times Chapter 38 Longjing Shrimp
The group of Assassins never imagined that they would capsize in a gutter.
The archer, who had already fled, did not even have the courage to turn back, he threw away his bow and quiver, tore off the black cloth that covered his face, and after turning a corner, he had become an ordinary passerby, he walked on the road as usual, but his back was already soaked in cold sweat, they had come to take revenge, and the corpses of the companions who had been sent to take the lives of two teenagers were inexplicably found in a remote alley, although their immediate boss had already said that since they couldn't be killed, they wouldn't kill them, and they would save a few more people when they got in. But they couldn't swallow this breath, and the boss didn't say much, telling them to pay attention to proportion, and go back on their own after the matter was done.
After many investigations, they almost determined that this old man was a master, but how much strength they had, they did not have the bottom, and although the other two teenagers could not see the depth, they were not fuel-efficient lamps, so there was today's siege and killing situation, twelve people surrounded and killed the old man in the courtyard, and eight people remained, and every four people dealt with a teenager.
The archers walked into a teahouse with few customers, and went straight to a small private room on the second floor, where they met, and if they couldn't wait for anyone before dark, they would go back by themselves, as they had said.
The man lifted the beaded curtain for covering, and there was no one inside, and he sat down in the nearest position by himself, and poured himself another cup of tea, and his face was a little defeated.
Suddenly, the man heard the faint sound of footsteps, and he quietly put down the teacup, hunched over, ready to go.
The dispensable bead curtain was suddenly lifted, and when he saw the visitor, the man breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "How are you over there?" ”
This time, a total of four people walked into this small private room, and the tall man who came first waved his hand helplessly, "No way, that kid escaped, that Yuan Yuxin is a person with eyesight, it seems that he sensed that we were following him again, so he took him and another teenager directly to the original mansion." ”
"So, they failed too?" The archer man's face was solemn.
"No, that skinny kid has two wounds on his body, it should be that they accidentally let him go, compared to us It's not good to kill people in the street," the tall man frowned, looked at the archer man, and asked him, "You just said, 'also'?" What's the matter, don't you ......?"
"That old man, it's ridiculously strong," the archer man remembered the creepy scene in the courtyard again, and he sighed heavily, "He killed us, with only one move, even the centurion, was killed with just a few punches, let alone fight back, and we couldn't even take out the power to parry." ”
The tall man still didn't want to believe it, and asked, "But aren't you the archer that everyone recognizes?" It's rare that you didn't shoot a single arrow? ”
"Out," the man hung his head weakly as if he remembered something sad, "I made three arrows, but one missed, and I couldn't even make that person appear a little, even a flaw." ”
The tall man was silent, he patted the archer man on the shoulder, and comforted him with a wry smile, "If you can't kill it, forget it, it's because of our poor ability, don't you say the same thing?" We're here now, waiting for the four of them to come back, and then we're going north. ”
The remaining four men all nodded slightly, and each found a place to sit down, their faces solemn and thoughtful.
They did not wait for the remaining four companions until the sun went down, and that night, five dejected men rode away from Huaiyang in the night.
......
Su Jingchen and Lou Qi were arranged in a small guest room, and the two of them sat upright, like students waiting for Mr. to attend class, even though this was the smallest guest room in the original mansion, Su Jingchen and Lou Qi couldn't help but let out "Wow, this is a rich family", "Look at that thing is so beautiful", "How much do you say this thing should be worth" and other praises, like a native old hat from the countryside entering the city.
"Lou Qi," Su Jingchen suddenly poked Lou Qi with his elbow and asked in a low voice, "What did you do, I feel that the original master seems to dislike you very much." ”
"Huh? Is it? Hahaha......" Lou laughed awkwardly twice, and scratched his head involuntarily.
Yuan Yuxin was quite polite to Su Jingchen, but he looked at Lou Qi's resentful eyes, just like ...... The resentful woman in the boudoir, ah no, the resentful husband, I can't wait to come up and kick Lou Qi twice, of course Lou Qi will not tell Su Jingchen, in fact, Yuan Yuxin has already kicked himself.
Yuan Yuxin is busy in the kitchen at this time, the original kitchen is naturally not less, but there is a dish, so many years he has been making it himself, the name of this dish is called Longjing shrimp, used to do, is to go to the small shop to buy cheap tea, just ask for a tea fragrance, now to make this dish, with the best Longjing, just this small plate of Longjing shrimp, used Longjing is enough for ordinary people to live for half a year.
Yuan Yuxin washed the shrimp with water repeatedly, put it in the bowl, put the egg white and salt together with the previous goat, stir it gently with chopsticks, and add some potato flour when the three things in the bowl were a little sticky, then put in a small half spoon of chicken soup gel and stir, and finally put the bowl aside to stand.
Yuan Yuxin turned around again, took a small teapot, put in Longjing tea leaves, brewed with boiling water, and after a while, Yuan Yuxin picked up the teapot again, and wanted to pour out part of the tea inside, the old chef who had been watching behind Yuan Yuxin for a long time hurriedly stepped forward to stop Yuan Yuxin, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the pot of tea, "Master, don't be violent and ruin!" How to say that this good Longjing tea is poured and poured, it is better to give the old slave me a tea addiction. ”
Yuan Yuxin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "What, you like to drink tea?" ”
"Yes, don't look at the old chef like me, but I am also half a tea gentleman, most teas, I know good or bad when I smell them." The old cook raised his head and looked at Yuan Yuxin, his expression was quite complacent.
"Okay, okay, then I'll give you a drink," Yuan Yuxin stood up straight, looked at the kitchen, and said, "I don't see that there are any teacups here, so you can go and get a bowl, and I'll pour it for you." ”
"Okay!" The old cook familiarly took a bowl from the cupboard and placed it on the nearest stove.
Yuan Yuxin poured a small half bowl of tea for the old cook, poured the rest of the tea together with the tea leaves into a bowl for later use, and said half-jokingly, "I can't give you the rest, I have to cook for my daughter." ”
"Enough, enough!" The old cook brought the bowl of tea to himself, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to blow it with his mouth, and then sent the tea bowl to his mouth, and after drinking, he did not forget to praise, "Good tea!"
Yuan Yuxin smiled and said, "When I made this dish before, why didn't you ask me for this half bowl of tea?" ”
The old cook touched his chin and said with a smile, "Didn't there be a lot of people before, so I was embarrassed to talk to you." ”
"Okay," Yuan Yuxin turned to the stove and started a fire to boil oil, and said to the old cook, "If you want to drink in the future, you can take out these dragon wells I put in the kitchen to drink, but you can't be greedy, let alone take the tea out of the house, and make sure that I still have tea when I cook." ”
"Really, sir?!" When the old cook heard this, he almost knelt down with emotion.
"Nature is true." Yuan Yuxin looked at the oil in the pot, saw the heat, and poured the mixed shrimp into the hot oil pot.
"Thank you, sir, for your kindness!" The old cook smiled, and assured Yuan Yuxin, "In the future, I will have at most one night of tea tomorrow, and I will not be greedy." ”
"Yes, I won't have tea when I cook, but I want to ask you." Yuan Yuxin smiled, quickly scattered the shrimp with chopsticks, stared at the pot for a while, and when the shrimp were jade white, drained the lard, poured the shrimp into the pot again, and poured in the Longjing tea and tea prepared before, slightly poured in some Huaiyang green water brew, stir-fried several times, and put it on the plate.
"Master, with just your two hands, it is not difficult to go to the largest restaurant in Huaiyang City to be the head of the spoon." The old cook drank tea with a smile.
"It's a pity that I can't make money in those restaurants, otherwise I would have wanted to try it when I was young." Yuan Yuxin picked up the bowl of Longjing shrimp and walked out of the kitchen alone.
The old chef looked at the few sips of tea left in the tea bowl, reluctantly put down the tea bowl, looked at the direction where Yuan Yuxin left, and only felt that meeting such a master was really a blessing for eight lifetimes.
Yuan Yuxin smiled and put the last dish on the dining table, all of which were some of Yuan Yuanxin's favorite dishes, a few of which Yuan Yuanxin couldn't help but look at it, and quietly moved a few chopsticks, Yuan Yuxin walked in when she was holding a piece of fish and was about to send it to her mouth, paused for a moment, and still put the dish in her mouth.
Seeing that her daughter was still as heartless as before, Yuan Yuxin was also a little relieved.
Yu Yu sat next to Yuan Yuxin, put his hands on the restless rubbing, lowered his head and was silent, still guilty in his heart, Steward Ma saw the two people who returned safely, and his face was only happy.
"Eat, Yu Yu, what are you still thinking?" Yuan stumbling sandwiched a chopsticks Longjing shrimp into Yu Yu's bowl, which is also Yu Yu's favorite food.
Yu Yu still lowered her head and didn't say a word, but tears had already flowed down her cheeks and dripped onto her hands and pants.
"Miss, I'm sorry." After a long while, she finally whispered.
"I'm sorry, what are you sorry for," Yuan Yuxin put a shrimp in his mouth and chewed, "If you hadn't told my dad that I was caught, maybe I would still be in that broken cave right now." ”
"Alright, let's eat." Yuan Tripping Heart said again.
"Miss, don't you blame me?" Yu Yu was teary-eyed.
"If you still disturb my meal with a sad face like this, I will blame you." Yuan Shuxin suddenly made a straight face and said seriously.
Yu Yu burst into tears and smiled, "Okay, I know, eat." ”
"Wait, we have two more guests today." Yuan Yuxin said suddenly.
