"No," Fourth Master Xiao tasted it again before putting down the spoon, "The more delicious and fragrant the food, the more taboo it is to put too many condiments, which will destroy its original taste." ”

"Well, that makes sense, Master, you seem to know this very well?"

"Of course," the fourth master smiled proudly, just thinking about something, squinting at Yeli walking in, stopped talking, and snorted, "Ah Li, you stinky man, come here, do you still know who Lao Tzu is?" ”

Yeli heard him call out his name, and all the things in his childhood came to mind, and he was silent for a while, and said, "Fourth brother!"

"Hey, do you still know that Lao Tzu is the fourth brother? Then you still stabbed that one ruthlessly? almost let Lao Tzu meet the king of Hades. The fourth master frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable, obviously his own son, but he can only be commensurate with brothers, how uncomfortable he thinks.

Ye Mengmeng was afraid that he would blame Yeli, and the two brothers were stiff, so they hurriedly opened their mouths to play a round.

"Okay, okay, the past is gone. Master, although the prince stabbed you, he didn't mean to, he didn't know you were his fourth brother at that time. Again, Master, you have been stabbed and nothing has happened, doesn't this just show that Master Ming's martial arts are outstanding? ”

The fourth master snorted, glanced at her with slanted eyes, and said, "The girl doesn't pat her on the back." Lao Tzu just said a word to him, you hurry up to help him, if you enter the door in the future, where is there still me in my heart, Master Hanako? ”

"Master, you-" Rao is Ye Mengmeng is thick-skinned, and at this moment, her pretty face is as red as a persimmon, she quickly glanced at Yeli, and said angrily: "Master, if you are messy, I will ignore you."

"Am I messed up? I just ......"

"Oh, Master, look, isn't the snake soup good?" Ye Mengmeng hurriedly dragged him to the side of the pot.

"Okay? I'll try it again......"

Yexi frowned. In his residual impression, the fourth brother should be an elegant and amiable person, but now...... After thinking about it, he understood again that he hadn't seen the fourth brother for twenty years, and twenty years was enough to change a lot of people and things.

……

I only heard Ye Mengmeng say: "Master, is the snake soup delicious?"

"It's okay, and you'll be proficient in the craft after a few more boils."

“…… Master, this snake soup is actually not delicious, when I have time in the future, I will cook a few dishes for you, and honor and honor you? ”

"Really? Isn't it to make Lao Tzu happy? You're a daughter, what do you cook? ”

"Really Master, I didn't lie to you, I used to cook a few times when I was in the mansion and I thought I had nothing to do, and they all cooked delicious dishes for me."

"Really? Okay, I'll do it another day. ”

"Why another day? You can do it today. ”

"Today?"

"Yes," Ye Mengmeng pursed her lips and smiled, "Master, you have eaten snake soup to relieve your hunger temporarily, but we haven't had lunch yet, and we are all hungry." ”

The fourth master of the owl had already been unconsciously snorted by him alone, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't leave you a little."

Ye Mengmeng smiled: "That's nothing, I won't eat this thing...... As for the prince? She glanced back at Yeli.

Yeli raised an eyebrow.

The fourth master said, "Okay, then what do you have for lunch?"

Ye Mengmeng pointed to the dish next to her and said with a smile: "With so many dishes, can't you make five dishes and one soup?" Master, you wait a minute, wait for me to make a table of dishes, and then you can taste them. Is it the snake soup that is delicious, or is it other dishes that are delicious? ”

The fourth master's eyes lit up, and his eyebrows fluttered with joy: "Really?"

"Of course!"

"Oh, what's that embarrassing?"

"Master, you're welcome, you are my master, I should honor you?"

"Hehe, that's right," Fourth Master Xiao has been lonely all his life, and he is used to being scolded, and suddenly someone takes him seriously as a master, but he feels a little unaccustomed. Although he has many nominal disciples, none of them will regard him as their own. Ziyue and Hongya scolded him casually without the slightest respect. It's rare for someone to be like Ye Mengmeng, with a long master and a short master, who talks about him and thinks about making food for him. Although the girl has a purpose to be good to him, as the saying goes, "reach out and don't hit the smiling person", the girl has a sweet mouth and a good heart, even if he is coaxed by her, he will be happy in his heart.

At that moment, he said happily: "That's okay, you come to the chef, I and Ah Li's father ......" His mouth was almost leaking for a while, and he quickly bit his tongue before swallowing the word "father and son" back to his throat in time, "...... Auxiliary, assist you, hehe! ”

"That's okay," Ye Mengmeng rolled up his sleeves and smiled, "I'm really honored to have two princes to assist me." ”

Yeli glanced at her white lotus-like arms, frowned slightly, and didn't say anything.

The fourth master smiled: "Then the eldest sister will start to order, right?"

Ye Mengmeng was secretly amused, pointed to the vegetables in the vegetable pot, and said: "First clean these vegetables, chop them, these chickens should also be diced, and the fish will be cleaned and the condiments will be stacked first."

"Great!" The fourth master was driven by her, and he was not disgusted at all, so he did it happily, not only did he do it, but his movements were also very skillful.

Ye Mengmeng glanced at him and praised: "Master, it's not bad, the movements are very sharp."

"Of course." The fourth master was very proud, and he glanced at Yeli and said, "Son, don't just stand and watch, come and help." ”

Night Departure: ......

He looked at this old man sullenly and was busy, but unfortunately, he didn't know anything about this vegetable cutting and condiment, so he had to stand there in a daze.

The two were both born as princes, why is there such a big difference?

It turned out that the fourth master had spent 20 years in prison, eating and drinking on his own, but in fact, he was quite strong in the wild. Although Yeli has been to the Northern Desert since then, there are many eunuchs waiting around him, and they basically live a life of clothes and food to open their mouths. Don't do this menial work, you haven't even seen it.

After a busy time, Ye Mengmeng simply sorted out four dishes and one soup. The four dishes are two meat and two vegetarian: the meat dish is steamed sea bass, fried pork belly with green pepper; Vegetarian dishes are eggplant with minced meat and home-style tofu. Finally, there is chicken soup.

As soon as the dish comes out of the pot, the color and flavor are complete, and the room is full of aroma.

The fourth master was so greedy that he rubbed his hands again and again, and couldn't help but reach out and twist a piece of pork belly into his mouth, and suddenly felt full of fragrant, fat but not greasy, and even said: "Mmmm, it's delicious, Lao Tzu hasn't eaten such delicious food in 20 years, it's much better than snake soup." Girl, you really didn't lie to Master. In the future, Master will never eat snake soup again, can you cook special dishes for Master to eat? ”

"What's so hard about that? As long as Master is willing to eat the food I make, the apprentice will make it for Master to eat, and he will have no regrets! ”

"What a good boy!" The fourth master was overjoyed. The more I look at this apprentice, the more I like it, and I like it even more than my own son.
