Qingqiu also has its own market, its liveliness is no worse than that of Luoyang, the god capital, but this stall is not a mortal, but a variety of spirits living in Qingqiu, and the sale is not only melons, fruits and vegetables, silk brocade, but spirit stones, treasures. Of course, there is no shortage of rouge gouache, jewelry and jade that girls like. This love of beauty has always been for some men, women and children, fairies and monsters.

Xing Ruyi followed the fox along the market in Qingqiu all the way to the end, although he had no intention of buying anything, but just looking at it, he felt that this eye was a little insufficient. Sure enough, shopping is a woman's nature, and being a loser is a woman's exclusive skill.

In addition to looking at things, Xing Ruyi also looks at people.

Originally, I thought that the fox was good-looking enough, but after walking around this market, I realized that the fox's good-looking appearance was not the credit of the fox itself, but the water and soil of Qingqiu. But all the girls that can be seen by the eyes are almost all fairy beauties.

"I finally know why the master is still alone."

"Why?"

"Because I am used to seeing flowers, I will no longer think that girl is eye-catching. Similarly, growing up in a pile of beauties, it is difficult to be tempted by other girls, just like I am to my master. ”

"What's the same?"

"Because I am with my master all day long, it is difficult for me to look down on those ordinary-looking ordinary people. I estimate that in my life, I can only ...... in Qingqiu" Xing Ruyi looked around again, and was depressed to find that the women in Qingqiu looked like fairies, but the men in Qingqiu seemed to be even more stumbling than those outside.

"It's over, I don't think I'll ever get married in my life. Fortunately, the master understands the changes, and this Qingqiu doesn't seem to ask for much money to eat and drink, so the master should be able to support me for a lifetime. ”

"You will get married, and I will support you for the rest of your life."

"I remember what the master said, don't regret it, don't cheat!" Xing Ruyi walked backwards and walked forward, and accidentally bumped into a stall.

"Where's the little girl?" A pair of furry hands reached over, and just as they were about to touch Xing Ruyi's shoulder, they were bounced back by a silver light.

"Mortal? That fateless one actually brought the mortal to Qingqiu. Tsk, such a delicate and tender little girl, it's quite good to use it as a snack. Anyone wants it? No one wants it, so I'll go back to my cave. ”

"I'm afraid your cave won't be able to hold her."

"Young master? The young master is back! The stall owner met the fox's face and immediately shouted: "Look, everyone, the young master is back, the young master is really back." ”

"We're not as blind as you are. It's a shame that you still have such big eyes, I didn't see it, this little girl was brought back by our young master. ”

"I have eyes without beads, I have eyes without beads, young master, you must not blame. I'll just say, such a beautiful little girl is only suitable to stand by the side of the young master of our family. That, this is a little bit of my heart, please take it. ”

The stall owner smiled while picking up the largest gem on the stall and handed it to Xing Ruyi.

"That." The fox did not look at the jewel, but pointed to a pearl the size of a thumb in the corner and said, "If you want to apologize, you must show some sincerity." ”

"Young master has a good eye, I don't get this bead easily."

"It's good to grind." The fox said, pinched the pearl and put it in Xing Ruyi's hand: "You like to use pearls to cover your face the most, and this bead is just right to use." ”

"Wouldn't it be too wasteful?" Xing Ruyi can be regarded as having seen pearls, but with such a large one and such a good color, it is the first time she has seen it. Pearl dressing, using ordinary is already considered a luxury, such a large one is better to treasure.

"It turns out that the girl likes to apply faces, and it just so happens that I have something here. Oh, this is the peach blossom pollen ground by drying the peach blossoms of our Qingqiu. The girl looks at my skin, whether it is white and red, it is very good-looking. That's what I used to put on my face. ”

"Girl, come and see, I also have it here, this is almond powder, white aconite powder, and this notoginseng powder, but what the girl wants, I have it all here, even if I don't have it, I will go and find it for you, girl."

"It's all good, it's all good." Xing Ruyi looked at it the same way, and finally touched his pocket: "However, I don't have any money." ”

"I don't need money, it's all for the girl."

"Gave it to me for nothing?"

"It's for free." Those people said, stuffing everything into Xing Ruyi's hands.

"I have received your wishes, but I am not sure to hold this free thing." Xing Ruyi put all the things on the ground: "Except for this pearl, I'll buy the things next to me when I have money." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, before the words fell, he saw that the girl who gave almond flour was crooked and fell in front of Xing Ruyi.

"Oh, look at my clumsiness. The girl's dress was actually hooked out by me. I don't have anything else to compensate the girl, just these almond powders, and please don't dislike the girl. ”

As soon as this person finished speaking, Xing Ruyi felt that his foot was touched, and when he looked up, he saw that it was a little brother who wanted to give him Sanqi powder.

"I'm sorry, I slipped under my feet and accidentally stepped on the girl. This notoginseng powder should be regarded as compensation for the girl. ”

After a while, all the things that had been on the ground returned to Xing Ruyi's hands, and as for the reason for coming back, it was nothing more than a free gift to compensation.

"If it is their heart, you can take it." The fox conjured up a cloth bag and handed it to Xing Ruyi.

"The master opened his mouth, if I don't accept it, it will seem that I am a little petty. Don't worry, I'll give you a gift in a few days. ”

"Master! You just called the young master? ”

"Yes, he is my master, and I am his apprentice. Hello everyone, my name is Xing Ruyi, Ruyi auspicious Ruyi. ”

"Punishment ...... Wishful. Those people looked at the fox and then at Xing Ruyi, and they seemed to understand something, and their expressions became excited. Xing Ruyi wondered in his heart, and just as he wanted to ask, he was taken away from the market by the fox.

"Is my name weird? Why did those people wonder after hearing that my name was Xing Ruyi? ”

"It's not that your name is weird, it's that your name is too nice compared to theirs."

"How so?"

"Do you know what the one who gave you the pearl is called?"

"What's it called?"

"Black blind."

"Black blind? What's the name? ”

"His surname is Black, and Blind is his first name. The people of Qingqiu don't have any special feelings for their own surnames, for them, what their surnames are and what they are called, they are just a name. In order to save trouble, many people will close their eyes and go out after the child is born, and when they open their eyes, the first thing they see is what the child is called. When the black blind man was born, his father heard the cry, so he closed his eyes and walked out, but when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was pitch black. Hence the name Black Blind Man. ”

"Why is it pitch black that his daddy sees?"

"Because he walked for a long time with his eyes closed, and he didn't get out of his cave at all. The cave didn't go out, and while it was still groping, the lamps and candles used to illuminate the cave were knocked over and extinguished. Therefore, when he opened his eyes, what he saw was not the scenery outside, but the darkness inside the cave. He thought there was something wrong with his eyes, so he came up with the word blind, and the name of the black blind man we hear now. ”

"Then master, where did you get your name?"

"My name."

"Yin Chensi."

"I don't know."

"Didn't you ask?"

"I asked, but one of them refused to say, and the other didn't want to say, so it was in vain to ask."

"Then the master didn't inquire privately?"

"Nope."

"Okay." Xing Ruyi put away his curiosity: "Where is the master going to take me now?" ”

"Go see my dad and my aunt."

"Can you see it?"

"I can't."

"Okay then." Xing Ruyi took a deep breath: "There is a sentence that you have to tell the master first, if the master's father and aunt don't like me and don't want me to be your apprentice, I won't pay attention to it." ”

"Don't worry, they'll like you."

"This is also calculated by the master by pinching his fingers?"

"It's not."

"Then why is the master so sure?"

"Because my aunt listens to my father, and my father likes to eat the dishes you make."

"Cooking?" Xing Ruyi recalled it carefully, and found that he couldn't remember when he had cooked at all, and when he had cooked for the master's father.

Half an hour later, Xing Ruyi took a shovel and stood in the stove room of another fox hole.

There are pots and pans in front of me, but judging by how old and old they are and how dusty they are, they haven't been used for a long time. The ingredients are fresh, all kinds of melons, fruits and vegetables, chickens, ducks and fish, and there are live ones, and there are also slaughtered ones.

Xing Ruyi looked left and right, and found that there was not even a single person in the fox cave, and even her fox master didn't know where to run at this time.

Cooking, cooking, cooking, what should she cook?

In the years since she came to Qingqiu, food, clothing, housing and transportation have been arranged by the master, and she almost thought that she would live this kind of clothes for the rest of her life.

As a result, now she is in charge.

Be the chef?

When I was a child, I took the spoon once, but unfortunately I couldn't see or eat the things I made, and then she became the one in the kitchen who only watched Ah Niang cook. Braised elbows, crystal dumplings, A-Niang is responsible for making them, she is responsible for eating, I didn't expect to learn two tricks from A-Niang.

Really, I hate less when I cook when I use it.
