Han Chuan's eyes widened, and he hurriedly got up on the stove.

Xu?

It's so late!

What is he doing here!?

Dine?

As soon as Han Chuan opened his mouth, his voice was a little dry, and he had just cried when he heard it, "Guest officer, we are closed..."

"I know. The little girl in the hall had already told so-and-so. Xu Yi stood at the door of the stove house with his hands behind his back, his feet were behind the threshold, and he did not cross a step, the curtain was raised high, he explained, "I came to see if there was any dinner, but the little girl in the hall said that the store was closed, and asked a certain to come to the stove house to ask the shopkeeper if there were any remaining ingredients to make." ”

Little Shuang'er...

Han Chuan wailed in his heart.

Xiao Shuang'er has an inexplicable affection for Xu Yi.

She found out last time!

Xu Yi has been here three or four times, and each time Xiao Shuang'er is very hospitable and hospitable.

Later, Han Chuan deliberately paid attention to it, and his heart settled, and he didn't just treat Xu Yi hospifully... Xiao Shuang'er has a very courteous attitude towards Lang Jun, who has a flat head and a straight face, and a beautiful lady.

Han Chuan swept the stove house slightly at the moment, and said softly, "... There are no ingredients left, and there is still water left, so please go back. ”

Xu Yi stood at the door and thought for a while, nodded, and then put down the curtain.

Halfway through, the cloth curtain was raised high again, and Xu Yi's face appeared in Han Chuan's eyes again, and Han Chuan's heart suddenly rose again.

"You... What are you crying about? ”

Xu Yi seemed to think about it again and again, and then asked this sentence.

Han Chuan subconsciously shook his head, "I didn't cry." ”

Xu Yi lifted the curtain with one hand and looked at her quietly, neither poking nor questioning.

Under the gaze of his eyes, Han Chuan was inexplicably a little embarrassed, lowered his head, caught a glimpse of the charred conch in the barrel, and said softly, "Son, the gong is burned." ”

As he spoke, he shook his head with a wry smile helplessly, "I've been cooking for so many years, and it's the first time I've burned a scorched dish, and it's such a precious ingredient, I feel a pity in my heart, and I can't get over it, so I cried a few times." ”

Got an unexpected answer.

Xu Yi was silent, bowed his head slightly, and after a while, he lowered the curtain again.

The stove house was plunged into darkness again.

Han Chuan held the stove and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Just now, it was like going back to a dream.

Xu Yi has always made a long story short, not a short story, and after asking her, she nodded and left.

It seems that it is just to complete the task, and it is only because of curiosity and wonder that I asked such a question, and when I got the answer, I gave up.

Sometimes, if you ask more...

In fact... If I had asked more, maybe her answer would have been different...

Han Chuan's eyes were a little sour, and he simply pressed all the strength of his body on the stove, and his heart was a little tight, but it was not to the point where he wanted to take Qi Pills to relieve it.

"Huh!"

The curtains were all lifted at once!

The light of the hall is sprinkled into the stove house!

Han Chuan subconsciously raised his hand to cover his eyes, squinted and saw Xu Yi's figure from the gap again, Han Chuan's eyes suddenly became hot, and he could only force himself to hold back his tears by blinking desperately.

Xu Yi put the cloth curtain on the deadbolt, lowered his head, sighed lightly, raised his feet and stepped over the threshold of the stove house, he had long legs, and walked to Han Chuan in three or two steps.

Han Chuan hurriedly moved to the side.

Who knows, Xu Yi looked around, and finally fixed his eyes on the water tank, pointed to a snail with a long snail mouth, and asked Han Chuan, "This is the gong, right?" ”

Han Chuan was stunned for a moment, and Mu Mu nodded.

Xu Yi rolled up his sleeves, rolled up the cuffs twice, reached into the water tank with one hand, fished out the gong that had been certified by Han Chuan, and put it in front of Han Chuan, his expression was very light, his sword eyebrows were like knives, and he was so serious that he couldn't see that this person had just caught a ring conch with his bare hands.

"Since it was scorched just now, now ask the shopkeeper to do it again." Xu Yi's tone was light, and he took a step back, a little farther away from Han Chuan's distance, "Because of the scorched vegetables crying, then do it again, you have to do it better and more perfect than before, in order to offset the mistake just now." ”

Han Chuan looked at him in disbelief, his hand clutched the corner of his clothes tightly, and he didn't know how to react for a while.

What is Xu Yi doing?

Han Chuan blinked and hid her tears in her inner eyelid.

What is this doing?

"I... You—" Han Chuan opened his mouth, "It's too late... Tomorrow... Let's do it again tomorrow. ”

Xu Yi shook his head, "If this dish is not cooked, I'm afraid the shopkeeper won't be able to sleep." You can do it with confidence, you just haven't eaten, and you can count it as a meal of three taels of silver. ”

It's not about money or money...

Han Chuan stood in place, his eyes sweeping over Xu Yi's familiar eyebrows.

She suddenly understood what she was crying about.

Today, it is not the first time she has been treated like this, as an object and a gadget, as something that can be obtained by playing tricks and using power. In the eyes of many people, she is such an existence.

In Xu Yi's eyes, is she also like this?

Han Chuan lowered his head and wiped his tears from the back of his hand.

Maybe... Not really, right?

If so, why did he open the curtain three times now and ask her why she was crying, afraid that she would not be able to sleep if she couldn't cook this dish...

Han Chuan stretched out his hand to pick up the conch, put the small red clay stove on the stove with a red charcoal fire, and then covered the square hollow barbed wire above, put the cleaned conch on the charcoal stove, and rinsed the conch with soybean oil, Huadiao wine, green onions, ginger slices, and peppercorns.

The sauce slides into the meat along the long snail mouth, Han Chuan holds the snail mouth and turns it repeatedly, just by listening to the sound, looking at the color, smelling the fragrance, you can guess the situation of the snail meat in the shell, now there are few people in this world with this Sui and Tang Dynasty traditional charcoal burning method to cook the snail, a little careless, the snail shell will be grilled through the charcoal fire - just like the one just now!

When the juice in the snail shell is completely absorbed by the snail meat, a burnt aroma emits out, which is a sign of the maturity of the snail.

Han Chuan quickly grabbed the long snail mouth, and "knocked" the snail mouth on the cooked cutting board three times with his backhand, and a whole huge snail meat and viscera tail slid out of the snail shell!

An indescribable aroma instantly filled the entire stove house!

Han Chun immediately cut the snail meat into thin slices while it was hot, the snail meat that was successfully fired was charred and fragrant, and the aftertaste was endless, and the snail tail was brought on when plating, which was fair and just, which meant that it would not be short of catties or two.

Han Chuan squinted with a smile, subconsciously raised his head and said excitedly, "It's successful!" ”

Xu Yi leaned on the stove on the other side with one elbow, his eyes fell on Han Chuan's scalded red fingers, his fingers were like green and white jade, Xu Yi cleared his throat, and then slowly raised his eyes.

This little girl's laugh is so funny.

When I see her laughing, I can't help but laugh myself.

Xu Yi didn't notice that the corners of his mouth were also hooked, "Did you succeed?" It's quite fragrant, congratulations to the shopkeeper. ”
