Chapter 256: Distressed
Ji Yuning's eyes flickered, and he looked deeply, and the different colors were like a whirlpool, causing Su Xiaoting to fall in.
For a while, the two people who looked at each other seemed to have forgotten where they were, and tonight and night, only soft white snowflakes were falling.
"Boss!" "Xiaoting~ Where are you!"
The familiar shout made Su Xiaoting startled, and she took the lead not to look over, "It seems to be one of the voices, I'll go out and have a look!" ”
When he walked out of the cave, it was one of them, Ah Tao and several people shouting at the top of the mountain, Su Xiaoting hurriedly waved her hand and shouted:
"One, Ah, we're here!"
After a few people put down the rope, Ji Yuning had already returned the stone statue to its place and walked out of the stone cave with the brocade box.
The stone platform is still 100 meters away from the top of the mountain, and the rope they brought is only 50 meters, Ji Yuning thought for a while and said: "I'll go up first, connect the rope together, and then pull you up." ”
After that, he tied the rope from yesterday to Su Xiaoting's waist, tied the other end to his waist, and climbed the mountain wall on one side.
About 5 minutes later, he connected the rope, pulled Su Xiaoting up first, and then hugged Su Xiaoting with one hand, and easily went to the top of the mountain with the help of the pull of the rope.
I saw Ah Tao and the other wearing oilcloths, but their feet were full of mud, but only one of them was like being struck by lightning, their heads were mottled with muddy water, their hair was like a chicken nest, their faces were blue and purple, and they were wet and embarrassed.
Su Xiaoting suddenly remembered something, held one of his arms and said, "One, aren't you afraid of heights?" How did you get to the top of this mountain? ”
Ah Tao's eyes widened: "He's afraid of heights? You kid, I said how did you climb the mountain with your eyes closed just now, don't die! I knew that I would have come up with my second brother~"
The second pleaded on the side: "He was also worried about the boss and An Ting, and felt that he had not fulfilled his duty to protect, so he had to come up." ”
As if he had just reacted, one of them snorted, and with a crying voice, he held Su Xiaoting's wrist: "Xiaoting, boss, are you all okay?" …… That's great! The rainstorm just now came too quickly, I thought, I thought~"
At that moment he returned to the mountainside, and had just relieved his dizziness, when suddenly the wind and clouds changed, lightning and thunder, and then a torrential rain.
He knew that even if he went up, he would only add to the chaos, so he even climbed down the mountain and rode to the other side to ask for help.
Halfway through, I met Ah Tao and the two of them, and several people combined, this kind of rain can only be bypassed from the gentle slope next to it, and then rescued.
It took the three of them 2 hours to climb the nearby mountain, and another more than an hour to climb the easy route to reach the summit.
In the meantime, his mind was full of ice and snow collapses, slippery mountains and rocks, and the scene of the boss and Xiaoting falling down, and he couldn't care about being afraid of heights, and his heart went up and down until now.
Feeling the master's concern, Su Xiaoting's nose was a little sour, and in the past few hours, one of them was much more guilty than her.
couldn't help patting the back of one of his hands and reassuringly: "We're fine, when the wind and snow came, we found a place to shelter from the rain, and it was basically unaffected."
It's you, why did you fall like this, hurry back and rest, I'll cook you some ginger soup later! ”
One of them flattened his mouth, and his heart warmed a little first, "Xiaoting, you are so good!" ”
Ji Yuning walked over, separated the two as if inadvertently, and patted one of them on the shoulder: "It's hard work, go back early to rest~ We'll go back to town in the evening." ”
Ah Tao immediately said, "Boss, did you find that thing?" ”
Ji Yuning nodded with a smile.
Ah Tao and the others couldn't suppress their surprises, this trip to Tianchi has gone 6 times, and this time it finally ended successfully.
"Then let's leave early, boss, I can finally celebrate your second birthday tonight!"
"Birthday?!" Su Xiaoting didn't expect that today was Ji Yuning's birthday.
"On this birthday, I found what my father left behind, and I have you by my side, it's enough~"
After a few people returned to the camp, ate some dry food, and drank the ginger soup cooked by Su Xiaoting, they packed their bags and bid farewell to the Sixteen Peaks of Tianchi.
When I got back to town, it was already the beginning of the day.
rented a single courtyard of an inn, thinking of Ji Yuning's birthday today, and there was an independent kitchenette in the courtyard, Su Xiaoting asked the owner of the restaurant for rice, noodles, vegetables and vegetables, and decided to cook a birthday banquet herself.
It's not that she works tirelessly to replace her, but that there is no end to it, probably because of the lack of materials, and the traditional cooking is mostly based on steaming, light and less oil, simple and original.
In addition to barbecue, meat dishes such as sauce meat, not to mention the color, flavor, and flavor, are not often stir-fried. Naturally, such a town can't come up with delicious food suitable for birthday celebrations.
Thinking that Ji Yuning's birthday in the past few years had been scribbled by the Tianchi pool, Su Xiaoting was inexplicably distressed, and decided to do her best tonight to make up for the birthday star.
Ah Tao took the initiative to buy wine, and Su Xiaoting drove away the first and Ji Yuning, who were going to help, leaving only the second to help.
At first, she was still a little rusty, but gradually, she found that this kind of wood-burning stove is actually a modern gas stove, induction cooker can not be compared.
When the original taste of the food bloomed in the light sound of the cauldron and completed the gorgeous upgrade, Su Xiaoting actually felt that the fatigue faded and enjoyed the process.
Although there are not many words, the work is not picky, and cooking on the fire, washing vegetables and chopping meat is simply done in one go. With such a powerful helper, Su Xiaoting broke the record and completed the feat of eight dishes and one soup in one and a half hours.
The dishes are not complicated, they are all home-cooked dishes that she is good at, and when they are served on the table, Ah Tao, who was originally respectful, came over and sniffed, and then she was a little dumbfounded.
Thinking about what kind of banquet he had never seen next to Ji Yuning, he only recognized half of the dishes, but the other 4 dishes had never been seen.
"What are these?"
The second side said expressionlessly: "Garlic pork ribs, boiled fish, crab roe tofu, West Lake beef soup." ”
"Don't say it, it's pretty good!" I just don't know if the taste can be swallowed.
After the banquet began, everyone raised their glasses to congratulate each other, and Ji Yuning first sandwiched a piece of garlic pork ribs and put it in Su Xiaoting's bowl.
"Xiaoting, thank you for celebrating my birthday."
"It's not hard! You eat it too~" Su Xiaoting smiled sweetly, and said to everyone: "This boiled fish is a little spicy, I don't know if you are used to eating it?" ”
"I'll taste it! I'll taste it~" One of them is very fast.
Except for Ji Yuning, a few people only ate a few bites, then put down their chopsticks and looked at each other.
"Xiaoting, weren't you really a chef before?" One of them couldn't help but say, the amazing aftertaste in the taste buds still lingered.
"Is this really what you did? I don't think I've ever eaten such a delicious dish in the United States before. Ah Tao was still in disbelief.
The second face was expressionless: "Next time you go to help cook~"
Seeing Su Xiaoting acquiesce, he muttered in a low voice, "...... Xiaoting, you're too condescending to be a guard~"
How happy we would be if we were cooks! One can't help but fantasize.
"Don't pay attention to them, it's delicious, it seems that you didn't win the cooking skills last time!" Ji Yuning had a smile in his eyes.
"I'm just more interested, you can eat more if you like." Su Xiaoting was a little embarrassed.
The hand speed of Ah Tao and the others became faster and faster, and only Ji Yuning chewed slowly, like a delicacy.
Thinking of Su Xiaoting washing his hands and making soup for him, this feeling is very novel, you must know that this kind of thing is almost all taken care of by men, and women rarely get involved, and I have the impression that my parents have also cooked some drinks for each other in order to express their love.
But it won't be like Su Xiaoting, who does it so skillfully and naturally, as if this is not an unusual thing at all.
This moved Ji Yuning, and at the same time, he once again felt puzzled about Su Xiaoting's life experience, and even felt a little more distressed.
