Chapter 21: Kang Wenxiao, the village chief's son

As soon as Xiuru spoke, Xiao Tuanzi turned his head to look at her, and his eyes were round in surprise at this moment, and the little fat finger pointed at her to Nie Yaoyao, with a serious expression, and said in a straight voice: "Black!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Xiuru has been hungry and full since she was a child, and the thirteen-year-old girl is as thin as a bamboo pole, and her natural complexion is black and yellow in the wind and sun all day long.

Although the little guy was telling the truth, he was too childish, and Nie Yaoyao and Hu Yunlong didn't dare to act too much with a smile.

Xiuru was not angry when Xiaodouding said that it was black, she grinned and grimaced at Xiao Tuanzi, "Yes, I'm not as white as you, Xiao Bai Tuanzi." ”

"Hee-hee-......" Xiao Tuanzi didn't understand but was amused by her.

Soon, the soup at the bottom of the hot pot was cooked, and the rice was steamed, so Nie Yaoyao asked everyone to move the table to the edge of the stove, and add the cleaned vegetables, vegetables, and meat slices to the boiling clay pot in turn.

The red soup enveloped the food, gurgling and bubbling, and the mellow spicy flavor suddenly wafted throughout the room.

Hu Yunlong and the others had never seen this way of eating, and they were so hungry that they swallowed saliva just by smelling the fragrance, and they obediently sat around the table and waited to feed them.

After a while, the broth was tumbling again, and Nie Yaoyao picked up all the food in it and put it on the plate, "Eat it quickly, dip it in some sauce while it's hot." ”

Seeing that they were unfamiliar and couldn't eat, Nie Yaoyao demonstrated herself, she took a piece of beef and dipped it in the sauce, and then stuffed it into her mouth.

"Shhh It's so cool! ”

The fresh aroma of the beef overflows the whole taste buds under the impact of spices, and she adds a lot of peppers and chili peppers to the hot pot base, which tastes numb and spicy, and very refreshing.

Seeing that she was eating well, the others couldn't help but learn from her to eat.

"It's spicy!" Xiuru was choked and her eyes were red, but she coughed a few times because it was too delicious and couldn't wait to continue eating, "Sister, you are so good, when did you cook so delicious?" ”

Hu Yunlong on her side took a piece of cold cucumber and ate it, the sour and sweet cucumber made people have a great appetite.

Hu Yunlong grinned at Nie Yaoyao, and praised without hesitation: "Yaoyao's cooking is the best, and I will learn to cook with Yaoyao in the future."

"Don't!"

"Don't!"

As soon as her voice fell, Nie Yaoyao and Fuwa refused in unison at the same time, their faces full of horror.

Hu Yunlong: "......"

Here, in a house study on the outskirts of town.

"Master, my subordinates have found the woman of that day." Xun Ji, who was dressed in gray, bent down and said respectfully to the man sitting behind the desk.

Hearing this, Xie raised his eyes casually, put down the scroll in his hand, and his eyes fell on him like an eagle, and asked coldly, "Who?"

Xun Ji bowed his head and replied: "It is a small peasant girl in a village called Lotus, her father is a gardener in Yongfu, she happened to pass by the firewood house when she was delivering food to her father a month ago, so what happened later, now she has been married to a butcher's seven-year-old son Chongxi."

Xie Sui's face gradually turned cold when he heard this, "Chongxi? ”

Xun Ji felt that his master's anger seemed to have turned into October cold snow, and he couldn't help shivering from the cold, and hurriedly lowered his head a little to reduce his sense of existence.

Xie Sui's slender fingers pinched the jade pendant in his arms, suppressed the irritability in his heart, his eyes narrowed, and asked, "Did the informant find anything?"

"There are no clues yet." Saying that, Xun Ji swallowed his saliva, took out a note from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Xie Sui, took a few steps back and said respectfully: "Master, this is a secret report from the capital just now, King Rui is missing."

"What?!" Xie Sui's brows suddenly condensed when he heard this, his face sank, he picked up the note and glanced at it twice, and a trace of anger immediately appeared on his extremely outstanding face.

His deep eyes were covered with a dark and fierce light and shot towards Xun Ji, "What did the Thirteen Guards do?!" Can't even look at a child?! Rubbish! ”

The strange chill aura was overwhelming, and the spacious room suddenly became cramped, Xun Ji was so frightened that his body was agitated, and he immediately knelt down, "The master is angry." ”

Xie Sui crumpled the note with a blue face, "Find it for me!" If I can't find it, all of your thirteen guards will be sent back to the Lie Taming Camp for retraining! ”

Xun Ji's head was stuck to the ground, "Yes! ”

On the day of the day, the weather was sunny, the lotus roots at the bottom of the lotus lake were ripe, and the villagers who were idle at home in the village went out to dig lotus roots in the lotus lake, wanting to go to the town to exchange for some pocket money.

Some more meticulous people will also dry and grind the fresh lotus root into powder, so that the price will be better.

Nie Yaoyao liked to eat lotus root very much in her previous life, whether it was freshly fried or made into lotus root flour soup, especially the freeze-dried lotus root soup mixed with various nuts was her favorite afternoon dessert.

Nie Yaoyao bought a few fresh lotus roots from a villager and prepared to make a lotus pond stir-fry at noon.

"Ah, Nie girl, you also come to buy lotus root." When the village chief's wife saw Nie Yaoyao, she hurriedly came over to greet her.

Nie Yaoyao curled her lips and smiled, "Aunt Su." ”

Su Shi approached her with a smile, "Girl, the jerky you gave me a few days ago is really delicious, why are you so fragrant?" Teach your aunt. ”

That day, she accepted this girl's food, thinking that the bowl of black jerky would not taste too good, but she didn't expect to eat it in one bite and never stop.

In the past few days, she has been thinking about the jerky made by this girl, and when she happened to meet it, she couldn't help but come over and ask anymore.

Seeing Su's thirsty look of begging for "food", Nie Yaoyao couldn't help but hook his lips and smiled, "That's sweet and spicy beef jerky, it's not difficult to make, but I've already sold this jerky recipe, I'm afraid I can't teach you, but Aunt Su, if you like it, I'll send you some next time." ”

"Okay!" Su Shi's eyes immediately lit up when she heard this, thinking about the deliciousness of beef jerky, she swallowed her saliva involuntarily, and suddenly realized that her current appearance was too naΓ―ve, so she smiled ashamedly and said, "Isn't this my family Wenxiao just came back from the township exam, I want to learn to make it for him to taste too." ”

As she spoke, she turned around and shouted to the crowd of chattering people not far away, "Wen Xiao, come here!" ”

Hearing this, a young man in a blue robe walked out, he was tall, his face was like a crown of jade, and there was a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, and he could tell at a glance that he was a polite scholar.

Only after seeing Nie Yaoyao did he react, this is the only seedling of the village chief's family, Kang Wenxiao, who went to the township test with Wang Yongquan of the Wang family's big house last month. However, unlike Wang Yongquan's three battles, Kang Wenxiao is talented this year when he is only a weak champion, and he has been admitted to Xiucai at the age of seventeen.

"Mother." Kang Wenxiao came over and shouted Su.

When he saw Nie Yaoyao standing on the side again, he felt angry, but he still bowed his head politely to her.

Su Shi looked at his son's handsome young demeanor, and a sense of pride arose in his heart, and he smiled at Nie Yaoyao and introduced: "This is my son Wenxiao."

As she spoke, she pointed at Nie Yaoyao and said, "This is the fourth daughter-in-law newly married by the Wang family, and it is your sister Nie."

Hearing this, Kang Wenxiao was slightly stunned, a few days ago, the news of the Wang family's troubles spread throughout the village, and even he, who had just come back for two days, had heard a little bit about it, but he didn't expect that the protagonist of this trouble would be such a thin and young girl.

He smiled slightly at Nie Yaoyao, "Hello Sister Nie." ”

Nie Yaoyao smiled slightly, "I have long heard from the people in the village that Brother Kang is a talent, but now that I see it, it is really extraordinary." ”

"Eh, how can you be, your girl's mouth is so sweet." Su Shi was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth when he heard it.

She reached out and patted her son's arm, "Didn't Ma Dajia give our family a basket of lotus root just now?" Your sister Nie loves to eat, you help send it to her house. ”

Nie Yaoyao hurriedly refused, "Aunt Su, don't be so polite, I just bought lotus root, there is no shortage of it." ”

"Tsk, didn't you see your aunt?" Su Shi gave Kang Wenxiao a look and signaled him to go quickly, and then affectionately pulled Nie Yaoyao to speak.
