Chapter 23: The Trial
A Hao's dark eyes instantly released a trace of starlight, nodded violently, and put his hands behind his back.
Although his cheeks were a little crimson, there was a serious seriousness in his eyes.
Gu Lin got up and picked up his long sword and slowly walked to the bamboo forest on the side.
Naturally, Hao quickly followed.
Tang Nian's body leaned against the kitchen door, slightly hooking his lips to watch all this.
Gu Lin pulled out the long sword from the scabbard in a dashing manner, and Tang Nian's eyelashes couldn't help but tremble slightly.
The common end has an extremely complex but beautiful pattern on the end.
It is like a lotus flower blooming on the surface of the water.
The man lifted his long sword, his eyes lit up, and he slashed at a tall green bamboo tree in front of him.
With a slight wave, the bamboo slowly fell, raising a cloud of dust.
Ah Hao's eyes on the side were always shining, and just as she was about to raise her hand to applaud, Gu Lin said coldly: "Carry it in." ”
Ah Hao raised his head to look at the bamboo, which was much taller than himself, and raised his hand to look at his small palm with a sad face.
Tang also really sweated for him, although Ah Hao was already in his teens, he was not very tall.
If he was to be allowed to carry the extremely thick bamboo to the courtyard alone, to be honest, it would still be a little difficult.
Gu Lin only glanced at him lightly, thinking that he would give up.
Unexpectedly, Ah Hao took a deep breath, and then lifted the bamboo in a breath, and dragged it vigorously into the big yard.
This is the first task that the master has given himself, and he naturally will not give up so easily.
His eyes flashed with a hint of resolute fire, and his two pairs of white and tender hands were also stained with the mud on the bamboo.
A gust of wind blew slightly, Ah Hao couldn't help but shiver, and watched Tang Nian shrink his neck and shrank his feet under his skirt.
Gu Lin put the long sword on his back, quickly returned to the courtyard, and sat aside.
Although his eyes never seemed to be fixed on the gate of the compound, Yu Guang kept glancing there.
Tang Nian knew that sometimes Gu Lin just didn't say anything, but in his heart he was actually kinder than anyone else.
I don't know how long it took, but Ah Hao only moved a short distance, and Tang Nian broke his fingers a little boredly.
I think about what kind of tricks I should use tomorrow to attract the attention of customers.
Just when she suddenly thought of a plan in her mind, she looked up and found that Ah Hao had already moved the bamboo in the yard, supporting his knees with his hands, half-bent over, and panting constantly.
Her eyes couldn't help but widen slightly, and a trace of doubt flashed in her heart.
I didn't expect Ah Hao to really be able to do this.
And she could clearly see that when Gu Lin was cutting bamboo just now, she chose a relatively strong and powerful green bamboo.
Na Ah Hao only rested for a moment, then raised his head to look at Gu Lin, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Master, I did it!" ”
The corners of Gu Lin's eyes curved slightly, and then nodded.
He was still silent, and he didn't say a word.
Gu Lin easily lifted the bamboo, and Ah Hao on the side couldn't help but look stunned.
However, Tang Nian was used to it, Gu Lin's strength seemed to be infinite, and he could move any heavy object.
Gu Lin first cleaned the wax and bamboo film on the outside of the bamboo, and then thinned the thick bamboo layer by layer with a knife.
An Bao on the side was writing at the desk, and suddenly, there was a sound of cutting things in his ears.
The attention span of small children is not as focused in the first place. As soon as he heard this voice, his afterglow drifted to Gu Lin and Ah Hao.
The hand holding the pen paused slightly, and then struggled for a moment, but decided to put down the pen and paper, and walked to Gu Lin's side in a few steps.
"Daddy, Brother Hao, what are you doing?"
Gu Lin sharpened the bamboo seriously, and did not raise his head to answer his words.
Instead, Ah Hao raised his index finger and put it to his mouth, gently "shhhhhh ”
An Bao was originally a gentle temper and a well-behaved child, and when he heard this, he sat obediently next to him with Ah Hao, watching Gu Lin's bamboo cutting with motionless eyes.
In the eyes of children, everything they have not seen is something new.
Tang Nian paused slightly, turned around and walked into the kitchen, making afternoon tea for everyone.
Although many things were limited in ancient times, with her craftsmanship, these were not a problem.
Tang Nian leaned on the stove to prop his head and thought about it, and finally decided to make cheese pudding for everyone.
It is estimated that they have not eaten this thing much, and the last time she made it for the county magistrate, the county magistrate also praised it.
Tang Nian hooked his lips slightly, and then began to move his hands.
There's nothing like cheese cream here, but she can make it herself.
These little questions didn't bother her.
The curly eyelashes gently followed her movements, casting a beautiful shadow under her eyes.
After a while, she had all the raw materials ready.
Tang Nian put the prepared cheese with cream and lemon juice in a large bowl, picked up the spoon and stirred it gently.
After mixing well, she poured eggs, sugar and milk into it, and continued to stir.
Although there was no oven here, she made her own simple instrument for baking things.
Tang Nian put the divided cheese pudding in the container, and then put them into the instrument separately.
Then there was the long waiting time.
Tang Nian sat in front of the kitchen door again, looking at the three people not far away.
The sun is shining brightly, and the wind is noisy.
After a while, Gu Lin actually had an extra bamboo sword in his hand.
It's not particularly sharp, but it's presentable.
He lifted his eyelids to look at Ah Hao, and finally handed him the bamboo sword in his hand.
Ah Hao's body trembled slightly, and his eyes were as big as copper bells.
This...... Is this for me?
This is the first sword in his life!
Not only that, but this sword was carved for him by the master himself!!
He was so excited that he couldn't even speak, so he could only get up and bow ninety degrees.
I don't know how long it took, but I finally squeezed out a sentence from between my teeth: "Thank you, master!" ”
Gu Lin just shook his head slightly, and then stretched out his hands and touched his two small arms, making him straighten up.
Seeing this, An Bao on the side turned his mouth slightly upward, like a duck's beak, and said, "Daddy, you are eccentric!" ”
