Chapter 66: Retention

Before Yu Ke went downstairs, he smelled the aroma of food wafting in the air, looking at Xiaobai's busy figure, he suddenly felt as if his heart was filled with something, down-to-earth and warm, and even the fatigue and worry during this time disappeared at this moment.

"Awake? Let's wash my face, I'm sorry, it's a little late, I'm very busy today, and I'm here all of a sudden. Xiaobai set up the dishes and chopsticks, and it was already late at night outside, and the light rain was continuous, and he couldn't see the slightest starlight.

"Is this all a dish made of the Yu family's sauce?" Yu Ke was a little surprised, he thought that the chef of Furui Yunzhu Mansion was already very powerful, but he didn't expect that none of the dishes put out by Xiaobai were the same as those of Furui Yunzhulou.

"It's not." Xiaobai stuck out his tongue, a little embarrassed, "There are a lot of sauces that I haven't had time to taste yet, and I only chose a few of your Yu family today." ”

Yu Ke was speechless: "I can't believe that there are only a few kinds of them, maybe I only use one kind and make so many of them." At this moment, he is completely convinced of Xiaobai's cooking skills.

"Don't praise me!" Xiaobai smiled, pointed to a few of the dishes and said, "You smell it, is this all your Yu's sauce?" ”

Yu Ke bowed, and when the familiar aroma of sauce wafted out of the dishes, he said the names one by one: "Shiitake mushroom soy sauce?" Soybean paste? A product of soy sauce? Soy sauce? Umami soy sauce? Spicy soy sauce? This is the Yu family's ancestral recipe! And plum sauce! But this is just starting to sell! Yu Ke was a little excited, and when he saw Xiaobai's smile, a trace of pride suddenly rose in his heart, "You bought it?" ”

Xiaobai shook his head and said, "It was sent by a friend of mine, but if there is anything rare in Huicheng, he will send me a copy." You smell something else! ”

Yu Ke tried to identify a few other dishes, but he frowned and thought about it, but he didn't dare to confirm it, so he had to say: "This seems to be Yu's chili sauce, but I smell it... ”

Xiaobai put his arms around his chest, tilted his chin and said, "I put some minced garlic, how about it?" Steamed fish head like this is great, isn't it? ”

Yu Ke nodded desperately, his eyes were full of appreciation for Xiaobai, "You are so amazing." ”

"It's your sauce! Anything can be mixed together! Xiaobai pointed to a few dishes and said: "This mushroom meat sauce is made by me with mushroom soy sauce, as long as you put more salt, even if it is the current month, it will not be bad, the noodles are particularly delicious, and this, I used some dried seafood and the first soy sauce to make together, there is a very strong umami, you see just burnt a tofu is very fragrant, especially this chili sauce!" Xiaobai picked up a porcelain basin, "This is fried with wood ginger and your Yu's chili sauce, and the aroma is very special." ”

"I never thought about it."

"You're not a cook, what are you doing with this?" Xiaobai stuffed the chopsticks into Yu Ke's hand and said with a smile: "Could it be that Furui Yunzhulou bought these sauces back and used them directly?" Every chef has his own unique secret recipe, in fact, I have made many flavors of this chili sauce, there is a fruity aroma is the most popular, and there is time to make something else for you to eat, you, just do your business well. ”

Yu Ke nodded and said, "You can also sit down and eat." ”

"I have to wait a while to eat, the lady who stayed there yesterday was sick, I made some light food for her, I have to send it quickly, it's not good if it's cold." Saying that, he ran to the kitchen and came out with a tray, but Yu Ke seemed to be waiting for her, and did not move the chopsticks, Xiaobai put down the tray, sat down next to him and said: "I don't want to go around the bend with you, I may have something to ask you to help me, it's okay if you don't eat enough, and your little girl, hurry up and let the family sit down!" What are the rules when you go out? ”

Xiaobai went to deliver food, Yu Ke asked Liufang to sit down, Liufang took a bite of pumpkin pie, and suddenly found some sweet fillings in it, and said in surprise: "It's delicious, this seems to be the taste of mulberries." He pointed to the white sugar cake on the side and asked, "Young Master, what's in here here?" ”

"I don't know." But Yu Ke still tasted it and said, "Apricots." ”

"The little white girl is really powerful, even better than the spirit fruit. There are only a few kinds of jam for picking spirit fruits, and it is very expensive, I didn't expect to be able to eat this rare commodity here. Liufang ate too quickly, accidentally choked, he hurriedly drank a sip of water in the glass cup, first surprised, then liked, Gu Dong Gu Dong drank it all at once, and smacked his mouth still unfinished.

Yu Ke was a little curious, and took a sip only to find that this was Yu's rice vinegar, but it was mixed with the aroma and sweetness of apples, sweet and sour, and cold to cool off the heat.

"If only the little white girl could go to Haixing and open a restaurant." Rokfang sighed.

After a few people had lunch, Xiaobai carried a bamboo basket to the open space behind the welcome to pick pumpkins, and wanted to make some soft and glutinous pumpkin porridge for the old couple at night. At this time, as soon as a wave of guests was sent away, I saw someone on the second floor walking down, and Yu Ke finally saw the appearance of the old couple.

The eldest lady is still not in good health, she just finished eating the egg custard made by Xiaobai, she didn't feel sleepy, she wanted to go downstairs to eliminate her food, and at a glance she saw Yu Ke standing behind the counter to help Xiaobai count the money, that smile with eyebrows and eyes, and the clear-eyed person knew what was going on at a glance. "Does Young Master Yu like the little white girl??"

"You know me?" Yu Ke frowned.

"Young Master of the Yu Family of Xingyun Mansion, who can not know? I heard that you went on a long trip and inherited the family business after you came back, I thought it was a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true. ”

"Are you from Haixing?"

"Do you have to be Haixing people to hear about the Yu family?" The eldest lady looked at Yu Ke full of vigilance and doubts, and suddenly wanted to laugh, in fact, the reason why she remembered Yu Ke's name was not because of what happened to him, but because he was the only friend of Guo Zhaoyang, the prince of the county prince's mansion. "Why don't you answer me? Do you like little white girls? ”

Yu Ke didn't deny it, because he sensed a dangerous aura in the eyes of this old lady, "It has nothing to do with you." ”

"It seems to be true." The eldest lady looked clear, "This makes me impressed with you, not bad." ”

But Yu Ke doesn't need the affirmation of others, he likes Xiaobai, and after so many things, he thinks that it doesn't matter if a girl has a good-looking appearance, what matters is a heart that always thinks about others.

"Say what?" Xiaobai walked in and patted the soil on her body, she didn't apply powder, she always had two braids, and she only wore the most ordinary cotton clothes, although her appearance was ordinary, she could always give people a fresh feeling after the rain. Just like today, she came from the foggy drizzle, covered with clear raindrops, and a little more indescribably pretty.

"Sure enough, only those who know how to appreciate can find beautiful places." The eldest lady looked at Yu Ke and showed some nervousness, smiled, and said, "I'll go up and sleep for a while, I feel much better after eating your custard." ”

Xiaobai handed the bamboo basket to Liufang and said, "Help me wash it, and I'll help the eldest lady up." But I didn't want the eldest lady to refuse, but Liufang still carried the bamboo basket to the back.

Yu Ke felt that his breathing was a little short, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he blurted out: "Have you ever thought about leaving here?" ”

"Leave?" Xiaobai wiped the water droplets on his body and said, "I haven't thought about it, why did I want to leave, it's good to live here." ”

"And you're going to live here for the rest of your life?"

Xiao Bai looked at him, not understanding why he asked this, about this question, Xiao Bai had thought about it, after all, staying here was also a trend, she had always wanted to figure out what the dream she was doing every day meant, but where should she go to find the answer? She didn't know.

"What if I can help you open a restaurant in Haixing to welcome guests?" Yu Ke asked cautiously.

Since you don't know where to find answers, it's the same everywhere, right? Xiaobai shook his head and said, "Wen Juan will definitely not let me go." ”

"That Lin family, is it really so important to you? My grandmother was also a very nice person. ”

"You're so busy every day, do you still have time to listen to those rumors in the market?" Xiaobai put down the handkerchief, walked to Yu Ke's side, took out an envelope from behind the counter, and said, "This is the recipe for those dishes, you can take it." Yu Ke hesitated for a moment, received it in his hand, and was about to say something, when he heard Xiaobai say: "Don't mention the silver this time, otherwise you won't come to welcome guests in the future." ”

Looking at Xiaobai's sincere smile, what else could Yu Ke say? I had to nod my head in response.

"That's right, we're friends, don't be so polite, you can be so self-motivated, I'm happy for you." Xiaobai likes Yu Ke's current state very much, and he sincerely wants to help him.

"Little White Girl!" The rapid shouting made the two of them look towards the stairs, and saw the uncle running down in a hurry with the eldest lady who was almost fainting, "The old woman is burning more and more... ”

Before he finished speaking, he heard Xiaobai shout: "Hurry up and go to Huicheng!" She had just grabbed a handful of money from the basket, and Yu Ke had already run out to set up the carriage.
