Chapter 267: Confrontation
As soon as this idea came out, she was a little ridiculous. I worked so hard to get these ant eggs, how can I not want it? Those four people of high status, just don't let them eat. Do you throw away the world's delicious food for them?
Thinking of this, she put away the sackcloth and said, "I've eaten this before, it's fine." But for the sake of prudence, you should not eat well. ”
Yuan Tianye knew that Lin Xiaozhu had always been assertive, and since she had made up her mind to eat this thing, it would be empty for her to say it herself; And she is also a steady person, since she said that this thing can be eaten, it should be no problem. Besides, Xiao Wenzhuo and they are here, he has to save some face for Lin Xiaozhu, and if he persuades him to continue, it will seem that Lin Xiaozhu is reckless and reckless. So I made up my mind to eat it myself later, and let Lin Xiaozhu taste it when I was sure that it was okay. He stopped persuading her, and let her take the ant eggs to cook.
Shen Ziyi himself has a slight cleanliness habit, and when he heard that it was an ant egg, he felt disgusted; And Xiao Xiao is a girl raised in the deep palace, she feels itchy and numb when she sees ants, and she naturally doesn't feel any loss when she hears Lin Xiaozhu tell her not to eat. But Xiao Wenzhuo's mind is not on this ant egg. When he saw that Lin Xiaozhu insisted, the strong Yuan Tianye stopped talking, and looked at Lin Xiaozhu's gaze more and more profound.
Lin Xiaozhu instructed Yuan Shi and Yuan Er to wash the shells of the winter bamboo shoots, and returned to the fire with the ant eggs, and began to get busy. The meal had already been prepared, Xiao Wenzhuo and their car had already rushed over, and their staple food was also brought over, and some prepared dishes were also brought with them. Lin Xiaozhu only needs to make the flying dragon, winter bamboo shoots and ant eggs.
She first cut the roasted chicken and rabbit and put it in front of Xiao Wenzhuo and the others, and said, "Everyone is hungry, right?" Start with some roast chicken and roast rabbit. ”
Xiao Xiao was already salivating when she helped these roast rabbits just now, and when she saw these foods in front of her, she cheered and stretched out her hand to get the roast chicken. However, seeing Xiao Wenzhuo's eyes glaring, he quickly retracted his hand and stuck out his tongue.
Xiao Wenzhuo looked at Lin Xiaozhu. nodded with a smile and said, "Miss Lin is polite, you work so hard." How can we be embarrassed to eat first? We'll eat together when you're done. ”
Xiao Wenzhuo's words were extremely polite, but his attitude made Lin Xiaozhu feel a faint alienation. Lin Xiaozhu glanced at Yuan Tianye. Putting the plate down, he said, "Then everyone is free." I can't leave there, I'm going to be busy. With that, he smiled politely and turned to leave.
Yuan Tianye looked at Lin Xiaozhu's departing back, then turned his head to look at Xiao Wenzhuo, and his eyes became deeper.
And Shen Ziyi, who was sitting on the side, spoke: "Brother Wen Zhuo." It's not that I'm talking about you, you're too outward. Xiaozhu is not a polite person, let us eat first, let's eat first. Anyway, I'm hungry, so if you don't eat, I'll eat first. After saying that, he unceremoniously picked up a piece of roast rabbit meat, took a bite, and then shouted, "Okay." It's delicious. He shouted at Lin Xiaozhu, who was more than ten meters away from them, "Lin Xiaozhu, who are you?" Usually cook delicious food, forget it, roast a rabbit. I can bake such a delicious thing, I'm really convinced! ”
Lin Xiaozhu laughed from afar and said, "Yi Gongzi likes to eat, I'll make it for you later." ”
Xiao Xiao was already hungry, and when she smelled the fragrance coming from Shen Ziyi, she couldn't hold back any longer, glanced at her eldest brother, picked up a piece of roast chicken and ate it.
"Come on, Wen Zhuo, you're welcome." Yuan Tianye picked up a rabbit leg and handed it to Xiao Wenzhuo.
Xiao Wenzhuo had no choice but to take it and take a bite. As soon as this rabbit meat entered his mouth, he raised his head in surprise and glanced at Lin Xiaozhu with a complicated expression. Although he is a prince, he is not pampered and has never suffered hardships, and it is common to go out to eat and sleep in the open. He didn't know how much he had eaten this roast chicken and rabbit, but he had never eaten it as delicious. Because the rabbit is full of lean meat and lacks fat, it always feels dry after roasting, and it also has a bad smell. But the rabbit that Lin Xiaozhu roasted, the meat is unusually delicate and refreshing, there is no smell at all, salty and fresh, chewing and exuding a fragrant aroma of alcohol, the taste is amazing, he can't help but praise sincerely: "The taste is really good." ”
"Right? This rabbit, I helped Miss Lin roast it just now. Xiao Xiao saw that the eldest brother was nodding his head again and again, and couldn't help but be extremely proud.
"Xiaozhu's cooking skills have never disappointed." Shen Ziyi was unhappy with Xiao Wenzhuo's deliberately distant attitude towards Lin Xiaozhu just now, and he was even more dissatisfied with Xiao Wenzhuo's scrutinizing gaze at Lin Xiaozhu. As the holder of the jade plate, Lin Xiaozhu was able to cook food for them with his own hands, which was a great honor for them. This Xiao Wenzhuo still treats Lin Xiaozhu with this attitude, I really don't know what to do.
Xiao Wenzhuo didn't care about his attitude, and asked with a smile: "Young Master Yi is quite familiar with Miss Lin?" ”
"That's, we're friends." Shen Ziyi raised his head and said.
Xiao Wenzhuo nodded and stopped talking.
Shen Ziyi threw away the chicken bones, took out a snow-white handkerchief, wiped his hands, stood up and said, "I'll go to Xiaozhu's side and have a look." After speaking, he didn't wait for Xiao Wenzhuo and Yuan Tianye to speak, and walked away.
Yuan Tianye looked at Shen Ziyi's departing back, turned his head and asked Xiao Xiao, "Xiao'er, you are only one year younger than me, right?" ”
Xiao Xiao, who ate a piece of chicken and a piece of rabbit meat, raised her head and smiled toothily: "Yes!" ”
"Have you decided on your mother-in-law's house?" Yuan Tianye asked again.
"Ahhh Xiao Xiao glared at him angrily, but a flush slowly appeared on his face.
"Nope." Xiao Wenzhuo said. He glanced at Xiao Xiao lovingly: "You have also seen that this girl is too well protected by my mother, and she is as innocent as a child." As an older brother, I also hope that she will always be so happy and not grow up. He turned his head and looked at Yuan Tianye, "So we all hope that she can marry someone who loves her and not let her suffer the slightest wrong......"
"I won't talk to you anymore, I'll go and watch Miss Lin cook." Xiao Xiao shyly interrupted Xiao Wenzhuo's words, stood up and ran to Lin Xiaozhu's side.
Yuan Tianye smiled, his smile was a little faint, he looked at Lin Xiaozhu's busy figure in the distance, and said, "That's not easy?" Wouldn't it be enough to directly choose a well-behaved prince in your Xiling Kingdom? With you watching, who would dare to let her be wronged? ”
"Hmph, those people, all of them are lustful dogs and horses, sneaking chickens and fighting dogs, and finally there are one or two who look honest, and they also have such and such problems. In the past few years after my mother, I have not picked a good candidate. A few days ago, King An of Dongyue Kingdom came to marry, but I think he is like that, I'm afraid he is unreliable. Xiao Wenzhuo shook his head and sighed.
"That's going to be hard. In your minds, I'm afraid there is no one in the world who can make you feel at ease to marry Xiao'er, right? ”
"Yes, there are ......" Xiao Wenzhuo raised his eyes, looked at Yuan Tianye, and stopped talking.
"Looks like the meal is ready over there, let's go over and eat." Yuan Tianye suddenly stood up and looked at Lin Xiaozhu's side. After speaking, he didn't wait for Xiao Wenzhuo to speak again, bent down and picked up the plate containing roast chicken and rabbit, and said, "Let's go." ”
Xiao Wenzhuo sighed secretly, stood up, and followed Yuan Tianye towards that side.
"Huh? Are you so sharp-eyed? As soon as Miss Lin baked the winter bamboo shoots, you guys came over. Xiao Xiao saw Yuan Tianye and her eldest brother walking side by side, the same majesty without losing elegance, the same magnificence, the smile on her face instantly bloomed like a rose, and the tone of her voice was extremely cheerful.
Lin Xiaozhu straightened up, glanced at Yuan Tianye, and said, "Find a place to sit down and eat." After speaking, he turned around and commanded Yuan Shi, "Yuan Shi, cut all the bamboo shoots with a knife, so that it is easier to peel them." ”
"Yes, Miss Lin." Yuan Shi replied crisply.
Shen Ziyi clasped his hands in front of his chest, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, standing aside and watching Lin Xiaozhu busy, his eyes never leaving her for a moment.
Xiao Wenzhuo saw it, and once again looked deeply at Lin Xiaozhu.
Lin Xiaozhu's senses were sharper than ordinary people, and he sensed Xiao Wenzhuo's gaze, raised his head and looked straight at him. Xiao Wenzhuo's gaze collided with her, but she was stunned for a moment. He had never seen a woman with such a calm gaze, and there was a kind of perseverance, a kind of confidence, and a kind of calmness that did not dodge.
This woman is not simple!
He came to such a conclusion in his mind. Thinking of this, a playful expression flashed on his face, and he didn't look away, just looking at Lin Xiaozhu directly. He wondered what kind of performance this woman would have been.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaozhu had a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, this smile was so faint, so faint that when Xiao Wenzhuo looked at it, it was gone. And when he moved his gaze to Lin Xiaozhu's eyes again, Lin Xiaozhu had already turned his head to see Yuan Shi packing up his things.
Xiao Wenzhuo felt a burst of chagrin in his heart. Unexpectedly, in this confrontation, his dignified prince actually had the upper hand, and was distracted by her smile.
The confrontation between Xiao Wenzhuo and Lin Xiaozhu was unknown to others, but Yuan Tianye and Shen Ziyi, who had been paying attention to Lin Xiaozhu, saw it in their eyes. Shen Ziyi glanced at Xiao Wenzhuo with annoyance, and was stepping forward to comfort Lin Xiaozhu, but Yuan Tianye took the first step and walked to Lin Xiaozhu's side, not thinking that her hand had just touched the roasted winter bamboo shoots was not clean, he stretched out his big palm and held her hand tightly, looking at her gently: "Are you tired?" ”
Lin Xiaozhu raised his head and smiled at him: "Tired." He tilted his head playfully, "What should I do?" ”
"Then I'll cook for you next time." Yuan Tianye said.
"You know how to cook?" Shen Ziyi shouted.
Yuan Tianye raised his eyebrows: "Cooking is not simple?" Just take a look. He looked at Lin Xiaozhu again, "Right?" ”
"Yes." Lin Xiaozhu remembered the porridge that Yuan Tianye made for her when she was injured, and she didn't know how much rice she wasted, and couldn't help laughing. (To be continued)
