Lin Jinxiu bent one leg and put her arm on her knee: "Didn't you say it?" Go out and treat me to a meal. ”

After thinking about it, Lin Jinxiu increased the price again: "It must be a good dish you make." ”

Cui Xu smiled and readily agreed, just cooking a meal, it couldn't be simpler for him.

Lin Jinxiu yawned, and suddenly saw something in the corner of the wall in the afterglow, which could reflect the light.

Curious, I took a closer look, and it was actually a small pot, which looked like it could still be used.

Lin Jinxiu was very happy and took it back as if she had found a treasure.

was really worried that there were bacteria in the rainwater, so Lin Jinxiu wiped the small pot with a cloth dipped in the Holy Spirit pot water and began to boil the water.

The rain was pouring outside, and the two had no way to go out for the time being, so they could only wait for the rain to stop.

But will Cui Xu be able to hold out until the rain stops?

Lin Jinxiu looked at Cui Xu, he was resting with his eyes closed, his breathing was very shallow, and intermittent, scared to death.

"Hey!" Lin Jinxiu called him, "Don't sleep, I don't even know if I'm dead asleep, get up!" Speak! ”

Cui Xu was awakened by her, forced himself to half-open his eyes, and sat up with his arms: "Say...... Say what? ”

Lin Jinxiu's mind began to spin rapidly to find a topic, and suddenly thought of something she had always wanted to know: "Have you seen me before?" ”

"Nope." Cui Xu shook his head.

"Then why do you hate me so much when you first hear my name?" Lin Jinxiu asked him bluntly.

Cui Xu didn't know how to answer this.

Could it be that my eldest brother Trader said that you are not a good person?

Although Cui De said so, Lin Jinxiu has saved his life twice so far.

If she is a bad person, I am afraid that Cui Xu himself will not believe it.

"There may be some misunderstanding." Cui Xu decided to ask Lin Jinxiu, "You and the eldest brother and second brother of my own family, as well as the original Namo shopkeeper of Qinghe Building, what problems did you have before?" ”

"Your eldest brother and second brother? Tread and Choi Li? Lin Jinxiu asked.

Cui Xu nodded.

"Cui De has never seen it, but I am very familiar with Cui Li." When these words came out, a sneer appeared on the corner of Lin Jinxiu's mouth.

So Lin Jinxiu told Cui Xu very briefly about what happened after he came to Celadon County.

Cui Li robbed the people's daughter, designed to let her enter the game, the origin of the one or two silver and a baked cake, Cui Li tried to drop her child, the government broke the siege, and Liu Shengjin Yao's incident ......

Cui Xu couldn't sit still when she heard Lin Jinxiu say that Cui Li wanted to drop her child.

In Trid's mouth, there is no such thing at all.

He once asked Cui De how Lin Jinxiu set them up, but he only got a vague answer.

However, on Lin Jinxiu's side, although it is brief, the things that should be said are very clear.

If he didn't want to say the details he asked, Lin Jinxiu would directly say that he had nothing to say.

And the news that can be said, even how Shopkeeper Mo reasoned that she was a traitor in court, she can also say anything from memory.

There is also something about bandits, she also explained that it was actually a wit under a misunderstanding, and it was not a situation arranged earlier, and she did not take credit for herself.

This is how easy it is to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

Cui Xu had already begun to think that Cui De was cheating on him.

"Is this the medicine you are talking about?" Cui Xu touched the inside of his shirt and found a small paper bag.

The last time Cui De gave him this paper bag, although he didn't use it, he kept it on his body and didn't take it down.

Lin Jinxiu took the paper bag from his hand and opened it to see that it was the dark red powder she was familiar with.

"Where did you get this medicine?" Lin Jinxiu's expression became serious.

"It was given to me by my eldest brother." Cui Xu said, "He asked me to put it in the dish he made in the second round, because the medicine would mask the smell of the mushroom itself, so I refused." ”

Thanks to Cui Xu's refusal to use this thing, although the motive seemed to be different from what Lin Jinxiu thought.

Lin Jinxiu put the medicine bag aside: "It's useless to you, this medicine is harmful to the body." ”

Cui Xu nodded.

"It looks like you've been deceived by your big brother." Lin Jinxiu sighed, "But I really didn't know that he was related to this medicine." ”

"Why did you become a cook?" Lin Jinxiu asked him.

"I like it." Cui Xu answered this very quickly, "My father always wanted me to work in the Cui family's bank, but I was not interested in that. ”

Lin Jinxiu looked at the yearning smile when he talked about his chef road, and suddenly felt that he might be a person worthy of deep friendship.

"I'm not really talented, and I'm a bit of a dumb one." Cui Xu couldn't stop talking about his chef road.

"But I feel very satisfied working in the kitchen, and I feel it when the guests are smiling and eating their own dishes...... I am needed. ”

"For me, that's enough."

Cui Xu looked at Lin Jinxiu with a serious look in his eyes: "So when I saw your performance in the competition, I knew that you were a very suitable person to be a chef." ”

"I'll just think you're praising me." Lin Jinxiu played with the paper bag that Cui Xu handed her.

Now it's probably certain that Cui Xu hates himself just because of Cui De's coaxing, and it has nothing to do with him, "You are really a pure person." ”

Cui Xu watched the water in the firewood hot pot slowly bubbling: "How pure and simple, just like a really good ingredient, no matter what kind of seasoning, it will not really hide its original taste." ”

Really good ingredients aren't overshadowed by the flavor of the seasoning?

Lin Jinxiu was attracted by his words.

"Seasonings are just adjuncts, but do you have to start with the ingredients themselves?" Lin Jinxiu said.

"Yes." Cui Xu continued with her words, "Every ingredient has its own soul, and seasonings are just to set them off. ”

Sure enough, it's a chef, which was originally just a metaphor, but now the topic is directly skewed to cooking.

Lin Jinxiu understood.

Her ingredients are the best in the world that are difficult to find.

But she, who has been cooking according to the recipe, seems to have begun to stumble on the amount marked on the recipe and get into a dead end.

She should have her own ingredients as the protagonist's.

I didn't expect her to waste her own food all the time.

"Shopkeeper Lin, what's wrong?" Cui Xu looked at Lin Jinxiu holding his face, as if he was wandering outside the world, but the expression on his face was actually very relaxed.

Lin Jinxiu smiled at him very well: "It's nothing, I just figured out something." ”

Looking at Lin Jinxiu's expression that seemed to be freed from the shackles, Cui Xu was a little relieved for some reason: "That's good." ”

Now Lin Jinxiu very much wants to go back to cooking, but unfortunately the conditions do not allow it, so she can only cool the water she boiled a little and hand it to Cui Xu, so that he can save his physical strength so that he can take him out after the rain stops.

……

I don't know how long I waited, the rain didn't mean to stop at all, Lin Jinxiu leaned against the cave wall, bored waiting.

She didn't dare to sleep, she had to keep an eye on Cui Xu's situation at all times.

If he has a fever or any other condition, it is very dangerous.

However, at this moment, several figures quickly approached the cave.

"I knew you were here!"

Hearing only a sound of surprise, the sleepy Lin Jinxiu looked towards the door of the cave and actually saw a familiar figure.

"Brother Zhao!" The person standing at the door was Zhao Kang, although he was wearing a hat, he was already soaked.

The boots were covered in muddy water, and it seemed that it took a whole night of searching to find the two of them.

Lin Jinxiu suddenly flipped up from the ground, rushed up and gave Zhao Kang a hug.

Cui Xu looked at Lin Jinxiu and Zhao Kang's closeness, as well as the sound of "Brother Zhao", and probably knew what happened to Cui De telling him that Lin Jinxiu had collusion with the government.

"Ugh." He sighed, it seemed that he had been deceived a lot.

Zhao Kang saw that Lin Jinxiu was only a little bruised, so he relieved himself: "Sister Xiu, you wait here for a while, I have to go and call the team looking for someone back." ”

"Okay, go and get back." Lin Jinxiu pulled the corner of Zhao Kang's clothes, "Is Huai Yanqing here too?" ”

Zhao Kang smiled: "He cares about you so much, of course he will come out to find you, in fact, he came out earlier, but he doesn't know where he is going now." ”

Hearing that Huai Yanqing was also here, Lin Jinxiu was a little happy, although she couldn't figure out why she was happy.

It took Zhao Kang a while to find the brothers who had entered the mountain, and Huai Yanqing found the cave by himself.

The clothes were also soaked, and the first thing I did when I saw Lin Jinxiu was to play her with a brain crash.

"Fooling you around?" Huai Yanqing raised his hand and wiped a handful of water on his face, "Something happened!" ”

Lin Jinxiu covered her forehead: "I didn't let the landslide!" ”

"Shopkeeper Lin is afraid of heights and runs to the highest mountain, if I don't follow, maybe my legs will be weak and roll into the ravine."

At this moment, Cui Xu's complaint came from behind.

Lin Jinxiu turned around suddenly, saw Cui Xu turn his head to the side, and then turned back, and saw Huai Yanqing with a black face.

The cold light of threat in those eyes frightened Lin Jinxiu into a cold sweat.

"Shopkeeper, if you do it again, you will be grounded from now on and don't go out."

Lin Jinxiu explained desperately, grabbed Huai Yanqing's collar and made him lower his head, and said in a voice that he could only hear: "It's not that I want to go up!" It was Pippi Chicken who led me up! ”

Huai Yanqing's face changed slightly, and then he sighed helplessly, he couldn't know more about the fact that Pipi Chicken and Lin Jinxiu were not on the right path.

Looking around, the cave was already full of people, most of them were soaking wet men, and Lin Jinxiu and a girl were mixed in it, which was particularly conspicuous.

"Sister Xiu'er, did you bandage this wound?" Zhao Kang was checking on Cui Xu's broken leg.

Lin Jinxiu pulled Huai Yanqing to sit beside them: "It's just an emergency treatment, I still have to find a doctor as soon as possible." ”

Zhao Kang nodded: "It seems that this leg can be saved, but it's a pity that Brother Cui, you don't practice martial arts, otherwise it will get better faster." ”

Hearing Zhao Kang say that his leg could be saved, Cui Xu was completely relieved.

"Thank you, Miss Lin, for saving me." Cui Xu said, "Twice." ”

Lin Jinxiu raised his hand: "No thanks." ”

"Hmph." Huai Yanqing snorted softly.
