Prologue The heart flows, and the mind hurts secretly Chapter 52 The Memories of the Hundred Lotus Cakes

[Shizome: Master, don't worry, Xiao Ran has grown up, really grown up, Xiao Ran will definitely avenge you! ] 】

Xi Ran thought about it, sighed and got up and came to the kitchen, first poked his head around and looked around, and found that no one immediately came in sideways, looking at so many ingredients on the shelves and tables, he began to carefully select, picked a few and put them on the table for chopping vegetables.

She thought it would be better to apologize for making him some food, remembering that when she was in Xuanzong, she lived alone in an inconspicuous cottage in the backyard, and she usually made some food by herself, of course, this skill was taught by her master.

Shizome, who has never been idle in her hands, is tinkering with those ingredients while recalling the scene when Ruoshui taught her to cook.

"Master, what are you going to do with the disciples this time?" Xiao Xiran had just finished practicing, and before he could wipe the sweat off his face, he hurriedly ran to the kitchen, looking at Ruoshui with big ice blue eyes full of expectation.

"Xiao Ran, why are you still so reckless, you should wipe off your sweat first, wash your hands, and rest before coming back."

Ruoshui heard the voice and looked back at Xiao Xiran, quickly put down the ingredients in his hand, untied his apron, took out a white handkerchief from his arms, and then squatted down, carefully helping Xiao Xiran wipe the sweat beads on his forehead.

"It's not that I'm afraid that Master will wait too long alone, so I'll just come here." Xiao Xiran pouted and explained softly.

"Okay, Xiao Ran is the most well-behaved, go wash your hands, today the master will teach you to make Bailian cake." After wiping the water, he touched Xiao Xiran's head again, smiled very gently, and his eyes were as gentle as water.

"Okay."

Ancient house kitchen

Xi Ran laughed when she recalled it, although she was often ostracized by those of her peers in Xuanzong before, and she was cold in front of outsiders, didn't like to talk, and was like a little adult, but when she got along with her master, that was her nature.

After all, no matter how stable she is, then she is still a child. The child's innocence was also revealed in front of Ruoshui. That time has really become the best memory, that time was peaceful and happy, simple. Every day is to practice and learn to cook, and to watch the moon and the stars with the master, how leisurely.

But she didn't expect that the first time she left Xuanzong to contact the outside world, she lost the master she regarded as a relative. After that night, everything changed, and there was no going back.

"Xiao Ran, why are you here?"

Xue Liyue thought about it, but still felt that Xiran still needed to eat something to make up for it, so she decided to come to the kitchen to have a look, but she didn't expect to see Xiran.

From the moment he entered the door until he walked up to her, Shizome didn't seem to react, it seemed that he shouldn't have noticed him, he didn't know what he was thinking, and he couldn't help but ask out loud when he saw that the pile of unknown materials in her hand were about to be smashed into foam.

"Huh?"

Xi Ran, who was immersed in his memories, was startled by Xue Liyue's sudden arrival, quickly came back to his senses, cleaned up his emotions, looked down at the bowl in his hand, and immediately hid behind him and said, "Why are you here?" ”

"Don't hide, I've seen it all, that pile. What is it? Xue Liyue didn't answer Shizoe's question directly, he looked at Shizoan and was curious about what she was doing.

"Uhhhh This, you don't care about it. Somewhat embarrassed, Shizoan took out the bowl again, put it on the table, turned around and continued to tinker.

"You, this is cooking?" Xue Liyue came to her, looked at the strange thing with some disgust in her eyes and asked.

"No, me, I'm just making a dessert."

"Oh? To whom? When Xue Liyue heard this, she raised her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Here, I can't eat for myself, Your Highness, you are really lenient." Shizome was a little shy when asked, but he was still unconvinced.

"Of course I'm in charge, you're on my turf, in case you're going to do something..."

"Poison can't kill you, I don't have the guts yet."

Xiran didn't wait for Xue Liyue to finish speaking, and interjected directly. As he spoke, he increased the force on his hand, and the posture looked at Xue Liyue's scalp tingling for a while, and he didn't say anything more to Xiran, and left the kitchen directly.

Why didn't he find Shizome so intimidating before, he still didn't stay in it so that he would be in a better mood.

"Hmph." Xi Ran strode away towards Xue Liyue's figure, sneered, and when she saw Xue Liyue looking at her sideways, she immediately returned to her seriousness, making snacks there normally.

"Huh." Xue Liyue shook her head and smiled, Xi Ran's little movements were all captured by him, and he didn't think too much about coming directly to the yard.

It is rare to have such a leisurely time, Xue Liyue looked at the rockery in the yard, and the trickle, which made him suddenly want to empty himself and no longer think about those worldly troubles. Because he was born in an imperial family, he was exposed to deception before all his peers, and he matured prematurely before everyone else.

He is actually very tired, in fact, he still doesn't want to fight with Xue Rongqing anymore, but he has no way to let go, the entire town of Fulan has been made into a miasma by Xue Rongqing's claws, the people are not happy, how many people like Qian Lao are still suffering, and the other craftsmen have not been found, how can he just let it go.

"It's done!"

Taking advantage of Xue Liyue's time in a daze in the yard, Xiran has quickly made a lotus cake, square, not big or small, the snow-white cake body, with the shape of a three-dimensional lotus flower on it, small and cute, looking very appetizing, and the faint fragrance of lilies wafts into the air.

Xiran came to the courtyard with the plate and put it on the stone table, before he could greet Xue Liyue, he had already smelled the aroma, looking at the appetizing pastry, Xue Liyue directly and unceremoniously reached out and took a piece and put it in his mouth.

Because the mask was a little in the way, he took a bite. The lily cake melts in the mouth, cool and slightly sweet, and the fragrance of lilies remains in the mouth, but it is not greasy or greasy, and it is quite refreshing.

"How?" Xiran looked at Xue Liyue with expectant eyes.

"Yes, I didn't expect you to be so good, what kind of pastry is this, I've never seen it." Xue Liyue praised it without hesitation, looking at the exquisite shape, it should be said that it is a work of art.

"No, of course you haven't seen it, this is my master's exclusive secret recipe, this is called Bailian Cake, which has the effect of refreshing and condensing qi. You can try to use the power of the stars, isn't it a little smoother? When Xi Ran heard Xue Liyue's appreciation, he immediately smiled confidently and said.

"Hey, really, then your master should be very powerful, right?" Xue Liyue tried to run it, the power of the stars did circulate more smoothly in the body, and the whole person was refreshed, it was a very miraculous pastry, but he never knew that pastries could also have such an effect.

"My master, she, is indeed very powerful... As soon as he mentioned Shizome's master, Shizome's gaze immediately dimmed.

Her master Ruoshui is indeed very powerful, that has always been her role model, she has to become so strong, or stronger!

"Uh, I'm sorry to remind you of bad memories." Xue Liyue noticed that Shizoan suddenly lost interest, and probably guessed that something might have happened to her master, so he hurriedly apologized.

"It's okay, how can it be a bad memory, I... The memories between me and my master are all good. ”

Shizome smiled reluctantly, but the tears flowed down very unhappily. Shizome's body trembled slightly, his left hand propped up on the stone table, and his right hand covered his mouth, trying his best not to cry.

Xue Liyue could hear the sadness in Xiran's tone, stepped forward distressedly, took out the handkerchief he used from his arms, gently stepped forward to pick up the hair that Xiran was covering her face, and helped her wipe her tears, slowly wiping them from the corners of her eyes, and her movements were very gentle.

At such an instant, Xiran suddenly fell into a trance, raised her teary eyes and looked at Xue Liyue in front of her, as if she saw her master Ruoshui helping her wipe her tears, that serious gaze, warm smile, and gentle movements, for fear of hurting Xiran, are all so similar.

"Master, is that you? Master, don't you want to be a disciple, don't you go! ”
