Chapter 18 Eating hot pot and singing
People are strange creatures.
Throughout the ages, many people have exclamated this way.
Ying Tanxi's crying was loud, but there were very few tears.
It belongs to the type of dry thunder that does not rain.
I wonder if she's being vexatious?
Whether she's vexatious or not.
In fact. As long as a girl cries, it is a sign that no matter whether you are reasonable or not, no matter how angry she is, you are wrong at this time.
——
But there is a premise.
The premise is that she likes you.
Or maybe you're going to like her.
......
Snowflakes blocked the boy's view.
Luo Ning looked at her squatting figure on the ground, his eyes were deep, and he cleared his throat.
"Don't cry. ”
Ying Tanxi ignored him.
"Don't cry. ”
Ying Tanxi was still howling.
"Don't cry, I, I'll cook for you. ”
Ying Tanxi's crying was a little quieter but still crying, and she said, "I want to eat barbecue." ”
Luo Ning frowned, "I don't know how to cook barbecue." ”
Ying Tanxi cried, "I don't care. ”
The snowflakes fell on Luo Ning's face, and he raised his eyebrows, eager to pull out the Lechuan Sword and cut her down with one sword.
The cry was louder than the wind, and it made his head grow.
"Don't cry yet, I'll promise you. ”
Ying Tanxi stood up from the ground.
Her eyes were fixed on Luo Ning, "Really?"
Luo Ning looked at her, "Really. ”
She added, "I want you to eat with me." ”
Luo Ning said, "Okay. ”
Her eyes suddenly brightened, as if she had forgotten about the white-clothed assassin just now.
Her face was blown by the wind, and the liquid of those tears mixed with snow just now disappeared, and she was just restored to her previous appearance in an instant.
......
The maid whispered, "This is also a woman, and her face changes faster than a book." ”
Yin Ziqing nodded as if he didn't understand, and muttered in a low voice, "I've never read books, and I didn't know that turning books could be turned so quickly." ”
That's really fast.
......
......
Half an hour later.
On the second floor of the inn, there was a stove in Luo Ning's room.
A copper pot hangs from an iron frame over the fire.
The boy frowned slightly.
"You're going to make a fire in my house?"
The maid gave him a blank look, looking at him like an idiot.
"We use boiling water and charcoal fires, so you can rest assured that your house will not be set on fire. ”
Ying Tanxi looked at the maid and asked, "Where's the meat?"
The maid replied, "I have already notified the people in the house to prepare, and it will be delivered in a while." ”
Luo Ning looked at Ying Tanxi and said angrily, "You don't really want to use me as a kitchen, do you?"
Ying Tanxi responded, "This house belongs to the inn, and it's not yours." ”
Luo Ning shouted, "Even the inn can't do it." ”
Ying Tanxi looked at him coldly, "I bought the entire inn a few months ago, let alone lighting a fire here, even if it is lit, you can't care about it." ”
Luo Ning was speechless, but he couldn't think of a rebuttal.
He was speechless in anger, turned around and sat down on the bed angrily.
Snow was falling outside.
The fire in the house was red.
The pot of water was finally boiling.
The sound of the stairs sounded, the curtain of the door opened, and several maids walked in with a few food boxes.
When Ying Tanxi saw them, she became even more happy, as if only food could bring her happiness in this world.
The copper pot was placed on the table by the maid.
Only then did Luo Ning discover that there was a dark grid under this copper cauldron.
She took a few more pieces of red charcoal from the blazing furnace and placed them in the dark compartment.
The food box was placed on the table and opened, and it turned out to be several boxes of sliced raw meat and a lot of offal, one of which contained a whole box of lettuce.
In this winter, only the princess's mansion has the ability to get such a box of crisp lettuce.
The maids who came over with the food retreated one after another, and some of them couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
......
Luo Ningchi asked, "Just eat this?"
Ying Tanxi said seriously, "Just eat this." ”
The maid didn't know where to take out a bottle of red oil, and then poured it into the pot, and a pot of boiling water instantly surged and melted like a sunset in the wind, and the heat wave was overwhelming.
Ying Tanxi took out a pair of chopsticks from the food box, gently picked up a piece of meat and put it in the pot to shabu, and then took it out.
The flesh is a little whitish, and the red oil and water vapor flowing on it are a little tempting.
Luo Ning frowned and said, "What is this way of eating?"
Ying Tanxi smiled, "You don't have it in the Central Plains?"
Luo Ning said, "We all eat cooked, not raw." ”
Ying Tanxi said, "This is cooked meat." ”
The piece of meat was put in her mouth, and she nodded in satisfaction.
She looked at the remaining pairs of chopsticks in the food box and asked, "Try it?"
Luo Ning frowned, "How do you eat this?"
Ying Tanxi said, "Eat with your mouth." ”
Luo Ning said lightly, "I don't eat." ”
......
Ying Tanxi looked at Yin Ziqing.
"Try?"
Yin Ziqing said with a smile, "I will make shabu-shabu, and my father always eats it in the barracks." ”
Ying Tanxi looked at Luo Ning with a smile, "In this way, only you, a native of the Central Plains, have never seen this way of eating?"
The red soup in the pot is boiling.
The cold air outside the window is getting tighter.
The heat that emanates from it can't help but be a little intoxicating.
The maid and Yin Ziqing also picked up their chopsticks.
Ying Tanxi squinted at Luo Ning, "You really don't want to eat?"
Luo Ning said, "Don't eat." ”
......
......
I don't know how long it took.
I added water twice and charcoal three times.
Luo Ning sat at the front of the table, sweating profusely.
He looked at Ying Tanxi and said approvingly, "I have never seen this kind of eating in the Celestial Empire." ”
Ying Tanxi said, "I don't know how many years ago when a herdsman took his wife to herd sheep, because her wife was pregnant and suddenly wanted to give birth, but she wanted to eat meat, this herdsman had no choice, so he killed a sheep, but there was no pot, he could only use his helmet as a pot, these mutton was cut into slices by him, and after being sliced by him, they all became delicious meat slices." ”
Her gaze gradually dimmed, "It's just a pity that in this wasteland, his wife finally died of blood loss, and that was the last meal she had ever eaten." ”
It's a sad story indeed.
But the woman would probably be very happy before she died.
Luo Ning said, "She is very happy. ”
Ying Tanxi raised her eyebrows, "I'm not happy." ”
Luo Ning diverted the topic, lowered his head and asked, "Then what is this called?"
Ying Tanxi said, "Hot pot." ”
She looked at the separated pieces of iron in the pot and added, "Mandarin duck pot." ”
There is a fire under the pot.
There is a gentleman in his eyes.
Red soup boiling water.
White smoke and black charcoal.
This is hot pot.
The heat wave is accompanied by aromas, which are as intoxicating as spirits.
Luo Ning looked at the undulating piece of pork liver in the pot, and said softly, "It's delicious." ”
The heat filled the room.
Ying Tanxi smiled happily.
She hummed a tune and stuffed meat into her mouth, as if she would never get enough to eat.
Snow flies outside the window, hot pot in the house.
Singing.
This is the joy of life.
So there has to be something to break this beautiful joy.
A man walked in.
He pushed the door roughly.
The cold outside the window disturbed the heat in the house.
The cold accompanied by snow as he entered, disturbing the heat rising from half of the room.
The man gently removed the hat from his head and patted the snow off his body.
Luo Ning saw his face clearly, and he asked in surprise, "Yunke?"
The person who came was Yunke.
He hadn't seen him for months, and his face hadn't changed, but there were some unimaginable vicissitudes at this time.
He looked at Luo Ning and didn't speak for a long time.
He was originally an assassin who could kill people if someone gave him money, but Yin Ziqing was the exception.
And this exception is Luo Ning again.
Ying Tanxi looked at him and smiled, "If you don't kill people to make money, how can you have time to come to me?"
Yunke looked at her and said, "I'm here to make money." ”
Ying Tanxi said, "Got into trouble?"
Yunke looked at her and said, "Someone asked me to kill you......"
He glanced at Luo Ning next to the hot pot and added another word:
"Guys. ”
......
