Originally, the cold wind was blowing outside, but the water in this pool was unusually warm, and it was really very comfortable.

"Manxi, you even know about the hot spring palace that Your Majesty is bathing, I really admire, admire, you just said that this hot spring can also be beautiful and beautiful, right? Then I'll have to soak for a while to make this trip in vain. Wang Shishi lay lazily in the stone pool.

"This hot spring is not unique to His Majesty, why don't you know? As the saying goes, there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book, as long as you read more books, there are all kinds of strange things. Hua Manxi said suddenly.

"What weird stuff? Then what are you going to tell Miss Ben about? Can this book look good in an account book? Wang Shishi said unbelievingly.

"A thousand strange things? Don't say it, I really have. Hua Manxi looked at Wang Shishi and Li Yuehui, suddenly had a bad heart, lowered his voice, and slowly began to say, "Once upon a time, there was a scholar named Ning Caichen, his family was poor, but he was handsome and kind-hearted, once he was on his way, passing a mountain, the mountain was gloomy with trees, the path was narrow, he walked deeper and deeper, and before he knew it, the sky was getting darker, his mouth was dry, and his body was exhausted. At this moment, he suddenly heard a murmuring of water, and he was overjoyed, and wanted to drink the stream water, but saw a woman in white in the stream, with a charming face, wearing a faint white veil, bathing in the water——"

Hua Manxi thought of the story in the chat, and felt that if he didn't talk about this situation, he wouldn't be able to live in this atmosphere.

She told the story of Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian, not only did she say that Wang Shishi and Li Yuehui were fascinated, but even the breeze and light clouds next door, Xu Jinfei and Chen Xiuli were all fascinated, and everyone listened with bated breath to the sometimes low and depressed, sometimes affectionate and moving voice of the flower manxi, and unconsciously, they soaked for more than an hour.

"That's it? Nie Xiaoqian is dead? Wang Shishi splashed water on Huamanxi in disappointment.

"What, she's dead!" Li Yuehui added.

"Then this, what should Ning Caichen do!" Wang Shishi didn't want to hear a tragedy, and she was very depressed.

"Men and ghosts have different paths, cousin." Li Yuehui added.

Hua Manxi only felt that his whole body was steaming, but he felt a little hungry, so he quickly got up from the water, wiped his body, put on his clothes, and said, "Get up, don't soak this for too long, it's time to go out and find food." ”

"It's a man's job to find food, I brought food from someone, and I'm going to meet my Ning Caichen here." Wang Shishi was moved by the poignant and moving story of Hua Manxi, and thought beautifully with her face.

"Ouch, Shishi, look at the tree behind you, it doesn't look like it's an old demon of Montenegro!" Hua Manxi tied his clothes, looked at the two people who couldn't afford to lie in the pool, pointed at his hand, and said loudly.

"Ahh Wang Shishi and Li Yuehui had just finished listening to a ghost story, and they couldn't help but be frightened, when they were suddenly shocked by her words, they jumped three feet high from the pool, rushed up in a panic, and hugged Hua Manxi.

"I'm scared of you, this can't be soaked for a long time, hurry up and get dressed." Hua Manxi laughed and urged.

Although they were scared, they were afraid, but they were real, Wang Shishi and Li Yuehui looked left and right while wearing clothes, looking around in a panic, afraid that an old demon and ghost king from Montenegro would suddenly come out and capture them.

finally got dressed, and the two of them also held Hua Manxi tightly, and they didn't dare to leave for half a step.

When they went out, Xu Jinfei and they all wore them out, because of the hot springs, the blood circulation was accelerated, and everyone's faces were flushed, and they felt drunk.

"I really can't see that Manxi is so good at telling stories in addition to cooking and doing business? The story I just heard you tell is very interesting, I don't know where you saw it, what is the title of the book? I'd like to collect it and read it. When Chen Xiuli saw them coming out, he immediately stepped forward and asked softly.

Hehe, hehe, it's so embarrassing, this is the work of the Qing Dynasty novelist Pu Songling, where do you want to read it? If you knew it, you wouldn't show it.

Hua Manxi's face was a little unnaturally red, and she felt a sense of shame for stealing other people's achievements, but fortunately, she had just come out of the hot spring, and everyone was red, and she was not too conspicuous.

"I forgot this, I forgot it a long time ago, I watched it a long time ago, but I can't remember it clearly, and the ending is still my nonsense." Hua Manxi said.

This is not lying, in the end, she really doesn't remember the ending of Ning Caichen and Xiaoqian, and there are too many remakes of various TV series and movies, and she has seen all kinds of endings, she really forgot the ending in the novel.

"This ending is poignant and moving, and it is very good." Chen Xiuli praised.

"Something! What is it! Wang Shishi disagreed, and stared at Hua Manxi viciously, "You actually pulled such a miserable ending, you hurry up and give me another happy ending!" Wang Shishi was devastated, "It is the right way to have a lover and become a dependent, you have made people and ghosts go in different ways, it's too miserable!" I feel so sad! ”

"Is it really that sad? It seems that I can only cook a delicious meal to comfort Miss Wang's grief-stricken mood. Hua Manxi teased.

"Absolutely! I'm going to eat barbecue! Wang Shishi was really diverted by the food, and she no longer dwelled on the ending.

"Then let's go hunting." Hua Manxi nodded and reached out to hold Xu Jinfei's hand.

He has been soaking in the hot springs for so long, and his hands, which have always been cool, are really warm, and he holds them warmly.

Xu Jinfei wrapped her palm and said in a low voice: "I ate venison last time, what does Hua Xiaochef want to eat this time?" ”

Speaking of eating venison, Hua Manxi suddenly remembered the shameful things he had done with him that night, and his face was hot again.

"Why don't we grill fish and eat it, there's a stream over there, and if you want to have fish, go around the forest and see what it is." Hua Manxi proposed.

"You're a chef, and we'll all listen to you." Xu Jinfei smiled dotingly, beckoned, and let the breeze and light clouds go to the forest with a bow and arrow.

And he took Hua Manxi and Chen Xiuli, as well as two escorts to the stream.

Sure enough, there were a lot of fat fish swimming slowly in the stream, and they lived in the mountains for a long time, and they didn't run away when they saw people, but still swam leisurely.

"Xu Gongzi, please start your performance." Hua Manxi looked at the big fish in the stream in surprise and picked his eyes at Xu Jinfei.

Before the crowd could react, they only heard two swishing sounds, and then several of the fattest fish flipped over on the surface of the stream.

Hua Manxi hurriedly fished out the fish as if he had picked up a treasure.

"What's going on?" Wang Shishi was dumbfounded, full of disbelief.

On the contrary, Chen Xiuli was much calmer, and showed an admiring look at Xu Jinfei: "I didn't expect that Brother Xu was not only good at archery, but also had such a miraculous skill, Chen admired." ”

A certain prince was not modest, and said: "Brother Chen has good eyesight, and Xu also admires it." ”

This is a pun, not only saying that Chen Xiuli saw his hair needle, but also alluding to Chen Xiuli's fancy to Hua Manxi.

Chen Xiuli is a scholar after all, and his face is thin-skinned, and he suddenly feels a little hot.

Hua Manxi naturally heard it, and felt even more embarrassed, Master Chen had never confessed to himself at all, this Xu Jinfei was too dry to eat this dry vinegar!

"Why are you talking so much, hurry up and get some firewood!" Hua Manxi glanced at Xu Jinfei unhappily and scolded in a low voice.

Xu Gongzi, who was disliked in public: "......"

He glanced at Hua Manxi very aggrievedly, and what he got was a white eye from Hua Manxi, so he could only reluctantly go to collect firewood.

Hua Manxi drove Xu Jinfei away, only to feel very embarrassed, silently found a clean stone for those fish, and started to fillet the fish with Xu Jinfei's dagger.

Because it was too difficult to grill the whole one, now everyone was hungry, so Hua Manxi decided to grill the fillet.

She fills all the fillets, places them on a large leaf, and then sprinkles them with salt, pepper and other seasonings she has brought with her, and marinates them.

Xu Jinfei's firewood was quickly found, and several people used fire folds to make a fire and make several fires to keep warm.

Light Breeze and Light Cloud have always been masters of hunting, and soon brought back the prey, three pheasants that were still fluttering, a hare, and a nest of wild eggs, plus these fish, should be full.

Hua Manxi also cleaned the rabbit and pheasant, the pheasant was marinated whole, skewered and slowly roasted over a charcoal fire, and the rabbit was cut into cubes, and after pickling, it was planned to be roasted on a stone slab.

I found a thin stone slab in all directions, washed it, set it up with a stone, burned a fire, burned the slate to red, and Hua Manxi picked up the fatter rabbit meat with long chopsticks that were trimmed at will, and put it on the stone slab to roast.

The fiery red slate put the meat, and immediately made a sizzling sound, the originally soft skin, quickly curled up slightly due to the high temperature, and along with the sound and change, there were bursts of tempting fragrance.

The slate is very large, while roasting the diced rabbit, while grilling the fish fillet, the grilled meat flowers are sandwiched on the washed leaves, and then sprinkled with some cumin and pepper powder, the taste is really delicious, and spicy, while it is hot, people's taste buds and hearts are 100% satisfied.

There is also that pot of wild eggs, taking advantage of the fact that the place where the rabbit has been roasted is full of oil, Hua Manxi directly cracked the eggs, spread the poached eggs, and only sprinkled a little salt, which also has a unique flavor.

Here Hua Manxi stone slab grilled fish and roasted rabbit, there light breeze and light clouds will wear the roast chicken on the wooden stick, is also slowly roasting, they have seen Hua Manxi roasted a few times, long ago got the essence, the heat is very well mastered, the skin is slightly burnt, with a faint oil shine, fragrant.

This meal, everyone is satisfied, after eating, Hua Manxi took a clay pot, specially used the cleanest snow water to make tea, the tea is Chen Xiuli with him, plus a wild plum blossom, this tea with a trace of astringency, both food and refreshing.

In the middle of the night, it began to fall again, and a group of people gathered around the fire, talking and laughing, and drinking tea, which was very beautiful.
