"Oh? Who are you? The two of them were laughing and talking, when someone suddenly walked in from outside.

Bi Luo obviously closed the door when she left, if someone outside came into the yard, there must have been a sound of pushing the door open, but the other party actually broke in so quietly.

"Wow! Are you a ghost? Do you walk without a sound? Li Jicai was startled by the sudden insertion.

She was kind of tempted to think about whether to put a fence around her house and keep out the people who would break into her house without making a sound.

"If it's a ghost, can I still stand here and talk to you? Sure it will eat you in one bite. Jiang Xihu pretended to be intimidating and said.

"Ahh Li Jicai let out a cold snort from his nose with disdain, and then put the washed vegetables in his hand into the basket next to him.

This move attracted Jiang Xihu's attention: "What are you doing delicious today?" ”

"It's not your share to make any delicious food."

"You eat me, drink me, use me, and you tell me that you don't have any share?"

"If you say that, it hurts your feelings."

"You said that you didn't have my share, and this sentence also hurt my feelings." Jiang Xihu is now smart and knows how to deal with Li Jicai.

He came back from a trip late last night, tired and half dead, and got up late this morning, and happened to hear from the people below that Biluo had returned.

Because Jiang Xihu still paid special attention to Li Jicai, Biluo asked Biluo by the way when she came back, and Biluo said that she was here to bring some food back, saying that Miss was going to make some dishes.

Jiang Xihu knew that Li Jicai had opened a store, and he also knew that she was the only chef in her shop, and said that her skills were not bad.

But he never had the opportunity to eat Li Jicai's cooking, so he became interested in her.

It just so happened that there was nothing to do today, and everything that should be done was done, so Jiang Xihu came directly to Li Jicai.

Because he has been running here a little diligently lately, and sometimes he comes during the day, so it naturally attracts the attention of some people.

Gradually, some rumors came out, but Jiang Xihu has never cared much about these rumors.

"Skin?"

"Seriously, what to eat?"

"Hot vegetables."

"Good! Then I'll wait for you to show your hand, and Jasper will go with me to the room and get me a hand stove. ”

"Yes!"

"......" Li Jicai felt that she had no room for resistance, she had already been arranged, although these were not out of her will, but she was still very unhappy to be treated like this.

But what can be done about it? Jiang Xihu is not wrong in what she said, she really has no source of livelihood now, and she doesn't know what year or month she can get it when she is an official, and now she really eats him, wears him, and uses him.

Jiang Xihu is the only one who can threaten her.

Biyu moved a table outside, and there was a small reunion table at home, but Jiang Xihu meant no, four seats were enough.

Although Biyu and Biluo secretly imagined eating at the same table with their master, they still felt very much looking forward to seeing his attitude.

Even if Jiang Xihu didn't agree to let them eat at the table, Li Jicai would call them together.

After the table was set, Jasper put a tablecloth on it, then put cups and plates, and took two jars of good wine brought from the house, and the rest was all up to today's chef's arrangement.

Although I am very unhappy that Jiang Xihu can come over to eat, but everyone is here, and it is impossible to drive him away now, so I simply let him have a good taste of his craftsmanship today.

Li Jicai, the base of the hot dish, made two pots, one light and one spicy. It's just that I'm afraid that the tastes of individuals are different.

Onions, ginger, garlic and vinegar are mixed with different seasoning plates, which is also convenient when eating hot dishes.

In fact, Li Jicai thinks that if there are only three people, it is quite convenient to eat soup and vegetables for one person and one bowl, but when Jiang Xihu comes today, then don't make hot dishes.

But she can eat it without contradictions, she can fry two more dishes.

It's just that I think the weather is very good today, and it's not cold to eat in the yard, and the mood of the steaming people is also very happy.

"Okay, no? You've been waiting for so long, what the hell are you busy with? "Jiang Xihu woke up in the morning and hasn't eaten much since then, he has no appetite in the morning, and now he is really hungry.

"It's almost there, don't rush!" Li Jicai took out another bowl of white fungus wolfberry sweet soup from the room, and then trotted quickly to the table in the courtyard, and after putting down the bowl, he quickly pinched his fingers on his earlobe.

"Scald, hot, hot!" It's hot! Li Jicai didn't remember to take a rag to pad it when he picked it up.

"Stupid." Jiang Xihu's eyes moved away from those colorful dishes, then he looked up at Li Jicai and said mercilessly.

“…… Jasper, please, go and close the door for me, someone will come in and won't even close the door. ”

Jiang Xihu is straightforward, he has never been in the habit of closing the door casually, and naturally it is not his turn to do such a thing.

"Yes."

The stove pot that had been rebuilt by Li Jicai was put on the table, Jiang Xihu's eyes were about to pop out, could he still eat while burning the fire?

The dishes in the restaurant are like this pot, which is basically served directly, and there is a raging flame under this stove, which is all black charcoal.

"What is this?"

"Originally, it was planned that the three of us would have a bowl of hot vegetables each, but since you came, it would be too bad to eat hot vegetables, so I will use my hands and feet a little."

"Oh? But can this be eaten? Jiang Xihu couldn't help but be suspicious.

"Whether you can eat it or not, you'll find out later."

While smiling and talking, Jasper walked to the door, and was about to reach out to close the door when someone stepped in.

And there is more than one person, as for the person who came......

"Miss, there are guests."

She couldn't handle these two.

Qi Qingchu and Xi Zien, the two of them came to visit.

"Yo, there is nothing to do in the Three Treasures Palace, why are the two adults free to come over today?" Jiang Xihu said in a somewhat cool tone, listening to the ears of outsiders, there was some yin and yang weirdness.

Usually Jiang Xihu is like this, people are confused, and his personality belongs to the kind of person who is very difficult to get along with.

Qi Qingchu naturally wouldn't say anything on such an occasion, his eyes were tightly locked on Li Jicai's body, Li Jicai was originally concentrating on the stove on the table, but when he heard Jasper's shout, he couldn't help but turn his head, and then saw the two of them.

For a moment, she froze in place, until the flames of the stove pot reached her hand.

"Hiss" Li Jicai gasped, and then quickly retracted his hand, burning a little painfully.

Then she squatted down and shoved one hand into the snowdrift.

Cooling.

The people next to him couldn't help but laugh when they saw Li Jicai's operation.

"Li Jicai, you have no conscience, I saved you, you don't know how to thank me, I don't know how to go to my house to give gifts, just hide here?" Xi Zien walked in with a big throat.

Next to him, Li Jicai, who was squatting with his fingers still stuck in the snow, looked dazed.

Seeing such a scene, Biluo couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart, it's over, there are two adults here, then the two of them won't have to eat, and they don't even have anything left.

“…… Have a seat. "Li Jicai, what else can she say? It's uninvited again.

And what Xi Zien said, she really has no way to refute it, because it was indeed Xi Zien who brought her out of that ravine, and Qi Qingchu found her.

"What is this? Can you eat it? Xi Zien walked over with unceremonious strides, and the road leading to the middle had already been swept away by snow, so there was no need to worry about slipping.

Qi Qingchu followed behind him and walked over silently, during which his eyes did not take his eyes off Li Jicai's face at all.

"The stove pot, well, can be eaten, if it can't be eaten, why should I make it."

"You're going to do some weird things." Xi Zien looked at it carefully, and the dishes on the table had not yet waited for him to taste them.

"The wine is taken from the palace, it is none of my business whether it is sour or not, the dishes and things I have here are all from the palace." Li Jicai took the lead in pushing Jiang Xihu's body.

Jiang Xihu didn't want to say a word since Xi Zien and them came over, what he valued and feared was Qi Qingchu behind Xi Zien.

"I didn't say you ......" Xi Zien's old face flushed unconsciously, and Li Jicai said this as if he was deliberately trying to stir up trouble.

"Come on, come on, sit down, it's ready, it's ready to eat."

After Li Jicai's demonstration, Xi Zien had a sense of déjà vu, as if he had eaten this somewhere.

"Pick up your favorite dishes, then put them in the pot and blanch them for a while, and then you can eat them."

In fact, at that time in modern times, most of the dishes across the country were similar, but the methods were different, and the names were different, for example, the wontons at his house were wontons, but if they were in Nanjing, they would become wontons, and if they fell to Fujian, they would become He Jia.

There are no real hot food fans to eat, so you can only eat hot dishes and eat hot pots.

The small plates prepared by Li Jicai, many spice plates were carefully prepared by her, and they tasted very good.

So the four of them silently began to take it.

As soon as you don't agree with each other, you start eating.

Jiang Xihu muttered in his heart, why did the good Xi Zien and Qi Qingchu take the initiative to send them to the door? Is there some special relationship between them?

Or did people connect when he didn't know it? But Biyu and Biluo follow Li Jicai every day, and they have never noticed anything unusual.

Li Jicai has been obediently staying in her small courtyard, and she didn't even go out half a step, Jiang Xihu in order to prevent Li Jicai from going out, so he agreed to Jasper Biluo to take all kinds of supplies from the palace.

Otherwise, who wants to lose money for no reason?

Therefore, Jiang Xihu ate a little carelessly, constantly thinking about what should be done to find out what happened between them.
