The weather gradually got hotter, and the red beans began to cook the thirst-quenching plum soup according to the recipe Qiao Ran said. Grab black plum, hawthorn, tangerine peel, mulberry, licorice, osmanthus and wrap them in gauze, and you can cook a pot of plum soup that tastes good and relieves the heat.

The taste of this plum soup is even better than that of many teahouses.

Qiao Shu and Ah Sheng continued to read a book, chop wood, and watch red beans running around inside and outside the kitchen.

"She usually asks questions, why doesn't she ask at this time?" Qiao Shu looked at Ah Sheng, "How can Miss Qiao have so many strange ideas?" ”

In his opinion, Miss Qiao was undoubtedly smart, but over time, he found that it seemed to be more than that. People who are not even very skilled in making fires can accurately guide the red beans to make the same delicious dishes that are different from the current dishes. It's like...... It's the same as being self-taught. Is there really a person in this world who is born to know things?

"Her young lady is the best," Ah Sheng stood up, arranging the chopped firewood, "it will not be unusual." ”

That's probably the idea of the red bean.

It is said that the city has been very lively in the past few days, and the original hairpin banquet turmoil has made many hot-headed literati dizzy, and even jumped out to criticize the government, but after the government officials were arrested and imprisoned for several days, the original "hot-headed" literati also seemed to have sobered up, and they gradually stopped thinking about it.

Although the painting is good, but people do something wrong, it doesn't matter! And when people are dead, can you still cry out for them?

However, it was not long before it was so stable, and by the beginning of June, the city was bustling again.

"It is said that the restaurants and dim sum shops in the city jointly organized it, with lotus flowers as the theme, to hold a dim sum banquet, but the matter was reported to Lord Zhen and was told by the adult, saying that the banquet is unlucky, where is this banquet unlucky?" Xuan Xiang said the news he heard from those pilgrims, and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, "It's changed to the Lotus Point Festival, I heard that the Qinhuai River in the city is all those restaurants and century-old shops these days, and there are lotus crisps, lotus seed cakes, and lotus leaf rice, which are delicious." ”

It's okay not to say it, but when I say this, the saliva of the red bean can't help but flow down. However, she still snorted coldly and rolled her eyelids: "You don't know about me?" It's just that you're hungry, and you want to eat those pastries to satisfy us. ”

Xuanxiang swallowed her saliva, nodded vigorously, and said, "I saw a pilgrim who came to Shangxiang to bring a lotus crisp to eat, which looks like lotus flowers, one by one, and smells very ......fragrant."

"You don't come to that set, what you say is like the truth, I won't be fooled......" Hongdou swallowed his saliva and still insisted.

Qiao Ran threw down the book in his hand and stood up with a smile: "Let's go, let's go down the mountain and have a look." ”

Counting the days, it has been several days since Fang Xiuting and Fang Xiuwen were released home, and she wanted to see how the legendary old lady Fang who would "eat people" would react to the "complaint" when Fang Xiuwen went back.

"Let's go and see." Qiao Ran said and glanced at Ah Sheng, who was standing motionless and upside down under the eaves, "Ah Sheng also followed, don't lose me...... We. ”

Ah Sheng turned his head and landed, nodded, and looked solemn: "This is natural." ”

He came here for Miss Qiao's safety, so naturally he couldn't lose it.

Qiao Ran turned around and went to the back room, thought about it, and still took the dagger under the pillow and hid it in his arms.

provoked the "monsters" who can "eat people", and when they go out, they can defend themselves with knives, so that people can feel more at ease.

……

……

When she was about to go out, Hongdou also prepared an umbrella and a robe, and went down the mountain several times, but it rained as soon as she said it, and she also learned to be obedient. There is a lot of rain in Jinling at this time, so it's better to be prepared.

The city is a lot more lively because of the Lotus Point Festival, and pedestrians can be seen everywhere on the streets.

They still came to the familiar Suzaku Street, and before they approached the Qinhuai River, the air was filled with a sweet smell of dim sum.

The fragrance of glutinous rice mixed with the fragrance of flowers hooks people's stomachs are getting hungrier.

The stalls of the restaurants and dim sum shops were already crowded with diners waiting in line.

Seeing so many people, Hongdou volunteered to take Qiao Shu to line up to buy food, and let Qiao Ran and Ah Sheng wait in place.

"Ah Sheng," Qiao Ran said suddenly, pointing to a woman walking slowly in the crowd not far away.

She was like a willow, walking slowly not far ahead.

"Look at that man," Qiao Ran said, "does it look like Joe?" ”

The woman who was walking slowly in the crowd tilted her head slightly, and a slightly familiar side face appeared in front of the two of them.

This face...... Qiao Ran and Ah Sheng are no strangers. It is exactly the same as Qiao Shu's side face.

Ah Sheng was stunned for a moment, and responded with a "yes", but there was no reaction from the side. That's a woman, Qiao Shu is a man, so what?

Qiao Ran didn't expect Ah Sheng to react from the side: he hadn't seen Jiao Niangzi, so naturally he wouldn't be as shocked as her, seeing a "resurrected from the dead" appear alive in front of him, Rao is Qiao Ran couldn't calm down.

But this shock was only for a moment, Qiao Ran lowered her eyelids: Qiao Shu saw Jiao Niangzi hit the wall and died, and there was an autopsy, she saw it with her own eyes, so Jiao Niangzi's "resurrection" will certainly not be true.

But a person suddenly appeared in front of him "back from the dead", and the corners of Qiao Ran's lips curled slightly: If it weren't for the extreme image of Jiao Niangzi's birth, then it was someone this person wanted to lure out.

The woman had been in her field of vision for a long time.

It was difficult for Qiao Ran to tell where this momentary judgment came from: but she had a hunch that this person was most likely coming for her. Just don't know who's behind this guy? Are those behind the scenes who sent Yi Zhaonan and Jiao Niangzi? Or the ruthless old lady Fang who has offended in recent times? Or someone else?

She knew it was a trap, but sometimes if she didn't bait herself, the other party wouldn't even poke her head out.

"I really know that there are tigers in the mountains, and I prefer to go to the tiger mountains!" Qiao Ran chuckled lowly, and suddenly said sharply, "Ah Sheng, keep up!" The moment he said this, his hand unconsciously hid the dagger in his arms in his sleeve pocket.

She knew she was doing something extremely dangerous, but there were some things that she would never show her fox tail if she didn't take the initiative to meet them.

It is impossible for a person to pretend to be stupid all his life and be led by the nose in a daze. She was never like that, and even more so after she was born again.

She doesn't want to live in a mess, the other party can turn her from a good person into a broom star of "Father and Mother", and she can turn her into a living dead who can't say or move.

Qiao Ran subconsciously touched her neck: "Just let me see who is behind this 'Jiao Niangzi' who suddenly appeared." ”
