In order to prove that his cooking skills can still pass, Zhao Yi insisted on going to the market with the cook to buy vegetables, and he also pulled the peach blossom shopkeeper together!

Dongcheng has always been lively, and this day is no exception, with the shouts of small traders coming and going.

Looking at all kinds of fresh ingredients in the vegetable market, it is already very cold in October in Yongle City, and it is also excellent to boil a chicken soup or pork rib soup, Zhao Yi asked the shopkeeper of Peach Blossom: "Sister Peach Blossom, do you think we should buy some pork rib stew?"

Xiao Zhang replied first, "Red bones are okay, I happen to know a good boss,"

"Red bones?" Zhao Yi interrupted Xiao Zhang, and inexplicably twisted his brows and asked suspiciously.

"Oh, the flesh of the fresh pork ribs is red, we call it red bones, boss lady, Miss Zhao, I'll take you to see"

Saying that, Xiao Zhang kept walking forward, walked to a pork shop, talked and laughed with the boss, Zhao Yi and the peach blossom shopkeeper also leaned over to take a look, this boss is a bloated person, no different from other pork shop owners, but his shop is cleaner than others, and the skewers of dried meat hanging on the shelves behind him also look fresh.

Xiao Zhang Le said, "Boss, today's pork is very fresh!"

"Definitely, the water that was boiled at the hour when the rooster crowed, and the pig that was slaughtered at the hour was not yet basked in the sun!" The boss laughed, and the meat mounds on his face were so clamped that he couldn't see both eyes, but this smile was from the heart, very infectious, Zhao Yi caught a glimpse of a smile floating at the corner of the peach blossom shopkeeper's mouth out of the corner of his eyes, so he was a little curious, looked at her, and asked, "Sister Peach blossom has something happy?"

The peach blossom shopkeeper glanced at Zhao Yi and gave Zhao Yi a look, Zhao Yi was curious if she was looking at the pork shop owner! But he was not sure, and he couldn't believe that the peach blossom shopkeeper wanted to see the pork shop owner, but the peach blossom shopkeeper said: "Ah Jian is a person with small eyes, and he can't see his eyes like this when he laughs." Saying that, the peach blossom shopkeeper's eyes were full of love.

Ah Jian is her deceased husband, Zhao Yi can't help but feel sorry for her, she can't let go of someone for so long, that person should love her very much!

"Sister Peach Blossom!" Zhao Yi called her carefully, the Peach Blossom shopkeeper seemed to be still intoxicated, and pulled Zhao Yi to another place, and Zhao Yi was pulled over by her.

The peach blossom shopkeeper pointed to a young man selling vegetables on the opposite side and said: "Zhao Yi, you see, that person has a small mole on his chin, and Ah Jian also has it, and when I met Ah Jiao, he was also a young man who bought vegetables,"

The peach blossom shopkeeper said that he covered his mouth and laughed, but his eyes never left the young man, Zhao Yi looked at her, and many words were choked in his throat, unable to speak.

Xiao Zhang suddenly called Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi woke up from this sad atmosphere, and said to the shopkeeper of Peach Blossom: "Sister Peach Blossom, let's go back, Xiao Zhang is calling us!"

"Oh, good, good!" said the shopkeeper seemed excited, glancing back at the young man as he walked.

Back at the pork shop, Xiao Zhang briefly mentioned Zhao Yi and his own boss to Boss Feng, "Boss Feng, this is Miss Zhao, this is the peach blossom shopkeeper, you want to buy some red bones, do you have some left?"

The boss nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes... I don't know how many pounds Miss Zhao wants?"

Xiao Zhang looked at Zhao Yi, and Zhao Yi said to the boss, "How much you want,"

Seeing Xiao Zhang's surprised appearance, Zhao Yi smiled with him, and the boss gave them more than ten catties of pork ribs he had.

In fact, Zhao Yi made the right choice, in the kitchen, Xiao Zhang reluctantly took the kitchen knife back from Zhao Yi's hand and showed her again.

"Miss Zhao, look again, this red bone is a little hard, but don't use too much strength, otherwise you will ......"

Xiao Zhang said and glanced at the messy broken bones in the corner, Zhao Yi pretended to be calm and barely squeezed out a smile.

Xiao Zhang didn't say anything, the knife fell with a "snap", the strength was just right, a piece of intact red bone was cut off by him, Zhao Yi clapped his hands and said yes, Xiao Zhang smiled embarrassedly and returned the kitchen knife to her.

Carefully: "Miss Zhao, try again, be careful"

Zhao Yi took it, and the knife he lifted had not yet fallen, and suddenly thought of the shopkeeper's matter, so he put down the knife and asked Xiao Zhang in a low voice: "Xiao Zhang, Sister Peach Blossom, is she okay?"

Xiao Zhang immediately made a silent action when he heard the sound, and cautiously looked outside the kitchen before coming over to tell her secretly: "Don't say anything about this matter, Miss Zhao, the shopkeeper has been like this for a long time, just get used to it." ”

Zhao Yi nodded, didn't ask any more, and continued to chop the red bones on the cutting board, and the cycle went on and on for a long time, and the pork rib soup was finally stewed.

Zhao Yi looked at the sky outside the window, it was coming soon, it was time to prepare, and they were all kept warm on the fire, Zhao Yi smelled the smell of cooking smoke all over his body, and he was uncomfortable.

"Xiao Zhang, I'm going to change my clothes, can you watch the fire first?" Zhao Yi asked.

Xiao Zhang immediately responded: "Okay Miss Zhao, you go!"

Zhao Yi bowed her head and came to the outside of the room, with a strange feeling, this was - someone entered her room.

Zhao Yi suddenly pushed open the door, swept his eyes, and saw the young man standing respectfully saluting her, and said, "Subordinate Shi Zhu to meet the Great Protector." ”

Zhao Yi quickly closed the door with his backhand, shocked and angry, "Aren't you killing Wan?" Zhao Yi asked the man.

"My subordinates are ordered by the Demon Emperor to protect the Great Protector, and they have been by the side of the Great Protector for the past few days. The man was a little frightened.

"You've always been by my side, why didn't you show up when the dove beast appeared yesterday?" Zhao Yi asked. It's really incomprehensible that he didn't save her here.

Shi Zhu raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Yi, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but he didn't want Zhao Yi to see it.

"The big protector, the little one wanted to show up when he saw the dove beast appear, but the senior brother Wuzhi never left, and his subordinates didn't dare to show up, for fear of misleading the matter of the big protector. ”

Zhao Yi bowed his head slightly when he listened, "Since that's the case, I don't blame you, how is Wan Kill lately?"

Shi Zhu's eyes flickered, as if he turned his head to look at the inner room, but he didn't really look at it, and he looked very embarrassed on his face, and he was also a lot of fear.

Seeing him like this, Zhao Yi walked straight to the inner room, Shi Zhu seemed to have something to say behind him, but he didn't dare to speak, and followed Zhao Yi into the room.

When she lifted the curtain, Zhao Yi knew that nothing good would happen, but she didn't expect her to come.

I saw a figure on the couch with his back to her and Shi Zhu, lazily leaning on the embroidered pillow, a blood-red figure became the most conspicuous scenery in the room, this October in Yongle City, she was wearing a tulle long skirt, the skirt swayed to the ground.

Zhao Yi said calmly: "Shi Zhu, you go back to Wan Kill, tell Feng Tuo and Bai Shu, don't leave Wan Kill if you have nothing to do, Jiu Zhi is a little restless, lest they go to Wan Kill to disturb the purity of the master." ”

Shi Zhu glanced up at Zhao Yi, then at Jing Yuan uneasily, and replied: "Subordinates obey orders, this will be killed," and then his body turned into a dark cloud and drifted away.

The figure on the couch spoke lazily, "Sister, you're back, I'm almost asleep when you wait!"

Jing Yuan turned over and turned to face Zhao Yi.

This bewitching face has always been the same!

Zhao Yixi has beads lining on her forehead, but she has temples and beads, her eyebrows are like Daifeng, her eyes are like transverse waves, her eyes are like flowing water, and the blue waves are rippling.

Lying like this, there is a slight bewitchment, the red lips are delicate, and the eyebrows are born with a dhara flower mole, proud of the cold winter plum. Holding his head in one hand and a red dhara fan in the other, he fanned the wind leisurely, looking at Zhao Yi leisurely, is this weather really so hot?

Zhao Yi immediately exhaled, approached Jingyuan, and suddenly slapped the person on the couch with one hand.

Jingyuan didn't realize that this sister had become so tuned, she was grinning in pain, and she was startled, and the fan slipped out of her hand, Zhao Yi took a hole and sat down next to her, and cast a spell to get the fan in her hand with one hand, and shook it leisurely.

Jing Yuan complained coquettishly, "I said, eldest sister, why are you so ruthless? I am your dearest third sister." ”

"I thought it would take you ten days and a half to find me!

"Hehe, your sister and I are such a smart witch, isn't it easy to find someone!" Jingyuan raised her eyebrows proudly, Zhao Yi was used to seeing her like this, and returned the fan to her, then stood up and said seriously to Jingyuan who was sitting on the couch: "There are seven Wuzhi people in the city recently, you should be careful, don't do anything with the person holding the Qingling Sword, you are not his opponent yet, you know?"

Jingyuan blinked and looked at Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi knew that this sister didn't like people saying that she couldn't beat others! But she finally agreed, although it was a bit perfunctory.

Jing Yuan said casually: "Okay, I'll promise you." ”

Even if she knew that she was more perfunctory, Zhao Yi would still be relieved.

Told again: "The eldest sister doesn't let you move around, now they are not in Mingyue Tower, they will come back from time to time, you go to find a place now, it is better to stay away from Mingyue Tower, obedient, okay?"

Jing Yuan smiled and pouted, "You are the most careful, I will take care of myself!"

The corners of Zhao Yi's mouth pulled out a smile, I hope so!

——————

Zhao Yi changed into a pale yellow dress, without any embellishment, just like a clear water hibiscus.

Before the time, Ye Tao and the others came back, and the peach blossom shopkeeper ran to the kitchen to announce excitedly.

"Zhao Yi, Xiao Zhang, have your meals been cooked, Ye Shaoxia and the others are back!"

Zhao Yi took the pu fan and fanned the fire, turned his head and responded with a smile: "Okay, got it,"

The peach blossom shopkeeper smiled happily and left the kitchen, Zhao Yi put down the pu fan, and went over with a plate of melon seeds and a pot of tea she had made herself, and the peach blossom shopkeeper left the largest table on the first floor.

They all sat down, Ye Tao helped Zhao Yi take all the things over, and Zhao Yi also said like a serious cook: "This is the tea I made myself, you taste it, tell me what you think about it later, I'll go and bring out the dishes, but Xiao Zhang has to make up a few dishes temporarily, you have to wait a while!"

Everyone looked thoughtfully at the tea made by Zhao Yi, she was not in a hurry to know how they felt after tasting it, she went straight back to the kitchen, retied her apron, and planned to continue cutting vegetables, feeling that there was someone behind her, Zhao Yi turned around and saw that it was Ye Tao.

Ye Tao said gently: "I'll come, Miss Zhao"

Without waiting for Zhao Yi to say anything, Ye Tao had already taken the first step to hold the knife in his hand, Zhao Yi was stunned for a moment, and untied his apron neatly.

His face was a little hot unconsciously, and he said shyly: "Ye Shaoxia, apron!"

Ye Tao glanced at it and said, "Okay"

Ye Tao stopped what he was doing, turned around and faced Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi put it on him, and tied a strap on him after going around him, Ye Tao thanked him very politely, and Zhao Yi also politely gave him a smile back.

Zhao Yi didn't expect that Ye Tao usually became a habit of holding a sword, and he also looked like he picked up a knife, much more skilled than her.

Watching from the side, he saw that Ye Tao's hand was moving quickly, but his face was calm. After a while, she cut the carrot she thought was tricky into shreds, and Zhao Yi looked at him in surprise, "Ye Shaoxia, how can you ......?"

"What's wrong?" Ye Tao put the shredded carrots on the plate, and took the shredded meat she had cut before, Xiao Zhang took care of his soup, this stir-fry really made Ye Tao come, Zhao Yi thought that he couldn't do it, so he followed him and just be a thug.

After a while, Zhao Yidao said embarrassedly: "I thought you didn't know how to cook! ”

Ye Tao replied to Zhao Yi's words very calmly while doing things, "Don't you look like someone who can cook?" Although Ye Tao would turn around to look at Zhao Yi, his tone was very light, without any emotion,

"I heard that Wuxuan is divided into five Xuan disciples and ordinary disciples, the status of Wu Xuan disciples is noble than ordinary disciples, Ye Shaoxia is the head of the five Xuan disciples, and he should be mainly practicing spells and protecting the common people on weekdays, and there should be someone to serve him in terms of food and clothing."

Zhao Yi was half-suspicious, but he did hear that Wuzhi had rules that put the Wuxuan disciples first.

After listening to her words, Ye Tao showed a shallow smile, although it was very good-looking and warm, but Zhao Yi didn't follow it, are her words so funny?

"Miss Zhao is half right"

Zhao Yi became serious, and Ye Tao continued: "Wuzhi is indeed divided into Wuxuan disciples and ordinary disciples, but no matter what kind of disciple it is, it is a part of Wuzhi, and the elders treat everyone equally, and no one is more noble than the other. ”

Ye Tao added some firewood to the stove and continued: "Practicing spells is only a secondary matter, the first thing is to learn to be self-reliant and self-reliant."

"So you cook by yourself" Ye Tao didn't say yes, but he still nodded. A scene suddenly popped up in Zhao Yi's mind, if he got married and cooked food for his wife every day, how happy would his wife be!

But after a while, Zhao Yi came to his senses again, shook his head violently, and drove away these annoying imaginations.

"Okay" Ye Tao said, Zhao Yi listened and hurriedly went to bring him a clean plate, and after a while, the peach blossom shopkeeper came over to help Zhao Yi bring out all the dishes together.

Today's Zhao Yi seemed to feel a little joy in the busyness, so he didn't want to stop, and after taking out all the dishes, he saw that Xiao Zhang hadn't brought the soup yet, and said again, "I'll go see if Xiao Zhang is okay again."

Zhao Yi stood up, Wu Nian shouted again and again to tell her to stop, Zhao Yi looked at Wu Nian suspiciously, he poured her a cup of tea, and said solemnly: "Miss Zhao, you have also worked hard, drink a cup of tea!"

Zhao Yi didn't react to what was going on with this young man today, and was stunned and about to drink the tea he handed over.

The peach blossom shopkeeper exclaimed, "Sister Zhao, don't drink it, the tea is poisonous"

Zhao Yi's heart tightened, and he hurriedly put the teacup back on the table, staring at Wu Nian with burning eyes, Wu Nian's innocent and helpless look. The shopkeeper of Peach Blossom smiled and explained: "Oh, no, no, it's not that the tea is poisonous, it's the little fairy who said that Zhao Yi poisoned you." ”

"I ......"

Zhao Yi pretended to roll up his sleeves to beat someone, but he quickly ran away without thinking, while chattering,

"Shopkeeper, everyone is a good friend, how can you talk nonsense"

The shopkeeper of Peach Blossom made a grimace at Wu Nian, who had run away comically, seemingly gloating, causing everyone at the table to laugh.

Zhao Yi had the idea of playing tricks on Wu Nian, and asked very seriously: "Wu Nian Little Immortal, what reason do you have to say that I poisoned you?"

"No...... I...... In fact...... "thoughtless" appearance of being speechless caused all the brothers to laugh.

Wu Nian looked at Liang Yan very resentfully, and complained: "Senior Brother Liang Yan, obviously you said it, why is it me who is to blame now, you are really the peach blossom shopkeeper, indiscriminately, talking nonsense" Wu Nian played with the child's temper, and people couldn't help laughing.

"Oh~ It turned out that it was said by the little fairy of good words~" Zhao Yi looked at Liangyan with a smile, and he immediately explained: "No, Miss Zhao, you listen to me, it's just that this tea is too bitter, I said it casually, I don't think of a child-like person, don't listen to him nonsense"

Liangyan glanced at Wunian as he spoke, and Zhao Yi pretended to tease: "It turns out that Wunian Xiaoxian is still a child!"

The two brothers Meng Si and Meng Bai also laughed at this meeting, their faces were swollen red with no thoughts, they sat down beside impermanence, and said in impermanence: "Look at you, these people are bullying me!"

In fact, Zhao Yi especially wants to say that everyone here is a child in her eyes.

Then Zhao Yi changed the topic, "Okay, let's not talk about this, but is this tea really so bitter?"

Wu Nian hid behind impermanence, pointed to the tea on the table and said, "Miss Zhao can try it if you don't believe it." ”

Zhao Yi didn't want to admit that the tea he brewed was bitter, and on the other hand, he was afraid that it was really bitter, so he held the psychology of betting, picked up the teacup that he had just put down, took a sip gently, didn't feel anything, looked at them again, and said impermanently: "Miss Zhao, you can't understand the feelings of Senior Brother Fang Cai's good words."

"Yes, yes, you don't know that Senior Brother Liangyan poured a big mouthful into his mouth just now," Wu Nian fanned the wind on the side, looking at Liangyan's helpless expression, Zhao Yi knew that it was almost really bitter, but he still didn't want to admit the facts, and wanted to prove that he could drink a big sip, so he drank a whole cup.

A cool tea in the mouth, there was a faint fragrance, but then the bitter taste spread everywhere in his mouth, Zhao Yi couldn't help but tighten his brows, and thought that he had eaten Coptis chinensis.

I didn't care so much, Zhao Yi put down the teacup with a "snap", covered his mouth and turned around and ran back to the kitchen, and met Ye Tao who had just come out, Ye Tao looked at Zhao Yi with a puzzled face, Zhao Yi didn't have time to explain anything, so he wanted to find a place to squirt out the tea.

Hearing their laughter behind them, and Ye Tao asked blankly, "Miss Zhao, what's wrong?"

Zhao Yi arrived at the sink, quickly spit out the tea in her mouth, greedily drank water and rinsed her mouth, after a long time, she finally felt that she was conscious, but the embarrassment and discomfort in her mind also followed, how could she still have a face to see people like this?

"Ah~" Zhao Yi was distraught, grabbed her head and suppressed her voice, and paced in the kitchen, "Why are you so annoyed!"

"Forget it, what's the big deal, it's not like you haven't been embarrassed, what are you afraid of, calm down!"

Zhao Yi comforted herself, quickly took a deep breath, and after a while, she had enough courage to go out and face it calmly.

When she went back, everyone was seated, and the peach blossom shopkeeper happened to fill everyone with wine, returned to her seat, and left a place between Ye Tao and her for Zhao Yi.

Seeing Zhao Yi come out, the peach blossom shopkeeper immediately beckoned, "Zhao Yi, come and sit!"

He didn't know anything!

Zhao Yi was relieved to do it again, and sat down uneasily. After that, no one at the table mentioned what had just happened, and each tasted the delicious food on the table.

Zhao Yi looked dazed, thinking that they should have received an ideological education class, and felt a lot more comfortable when he thought about it.

However, this was only her imagination.
