Chapter 112: The Secret Recipe
"That's good. Then I'll go back to my place. Su Xiaoshu smiled and turned to leave. The smile on his face was a little unnatural.
Lin Xiaozhu sighed.
Su Xiaoshu's affection, she didn't believe that Xia Shan didn't feel anything. Although Xia Shan has a taciturn personality, he is an extremely attentive and thoughtful person. Just because he doesn't say anything doesn't mean he doesn't count in his heart. Only Lin Xiaozhu didn't know that he ignored Su Xiaoshu, but he cared about himself a lot, whether he rejected Su Xiaoshu in disguise, or had some different feelings for her, or just his brother's concern for his sister.
It's just that Xia Shan doesn't say it, and she doesn't want to ask. For Su Xiaoshu's feelings, he wanted to avoid Xia Shan, but he was afraid that he really cared about her as an elder brother and broke his heart. Two people, one like a sister and the other like an elder brother, any one of them is sad, which she doesn't want to see. So for this matter, she can only remain silent, say nothing, and do nothing. Just try not to be alone with Xia Shan. Rao is like this, Su Xiaoshu is still becoming more and more silent and unnatural in front of her.
Will the sisterhood that has lasted for almost three years change because of a man? Thinking of the crossing in the previous life, the most likely reason for the crossing is to see the husband or boyfriend with his best friend, so he stumbled and died, traveling through ancient times. Lin Xiaozhu smiled dumbly, sighed, and shook his head. Such a bloody drama will never be staged between himself, Su Xiaoshu and Xia Shan. I only have brother and sister love for Xia Shan, and there is no love between men and women.
Perhaps, such a result is not a bad thing for Su Xiaoshu. After all, this mountain villa is not a suitable place for people to fall in love.
"Okay? Ma Jiaoxi began to inspect the beef soup from there. "After a cup of tea. Summer Mountain walked in.
"Alright." Lin Xiaozhu turned his head and said with a smile, "When the horse sect finishes reading yours, I'll be fine." ”
"That's good." Xia Shan nodded, and hesitated at the door for a while, until the noise outside was getting closer and closer, and seeing that Ma Jiaoxi was about to see this, he asked softly again, "Do you have a good idea of what to cook in the next preliminary competition?" ”
"I've got it figured out." Lin Xiaozhu nodded. "Brother Xia Shan, what about you?" But he wondered in his heart, what could he not say such words, what did he hesitate about?
"Me too." Xia Shan responded absentmindedly and glanced at Lin Xiaozhu. "I heard that if you win the first place in this competition, you can make a request to Childe. Small bamboo. If you won first place, what would you ask for? ”
"This ......" Lin Xiaozhu shook his head and said with a smile, "I really don't have any requirements to make." ”
Xia Shan took a deep breath. Plucked up the courage to speak: "Although, you are here." It's not easy for me to win first place. But if you are lucky enough to get the first place, I will propose to Childe that no matter where we are divided in the future, I want to be with you. At this point, his face turned a little red and his words became stammering, "What if...... If you take the first exam, can you ...... Can you also make such a request to Childe? ”
"Huh?" Lin Xiaozhu looked at Xia Shan in surprise. But after Xia Shan finished saying that, he conveyed his own meaning. That's the job done. So no matter what kind of reaction Lin Xiaozhu had, he turned around and left. In the blink of an eye, Lin Xiaozhu only saw his red face dripping blood.
After a moment of confusion, Lin Xiaozhu stretched out his hand. He stroked his forehead. Xia Shan said this, it's nothing. You can see the look on his face. If she didn't understand what he meant, she would really be Yulin's head.
In the villa, there is no shortage of smart people! Everyone understands that this so-called competition is equivalent to a graduation exam. After the exam, no one knows where they will be arranged by Childe.
In this unrelated ancient times, if she can really work with Xia Shan in the future, having such an elder brother's care is something she can't ask for. But...... What if in the end she can't accept Xia Shan's feelings? Wouldn't it hurt him to make such a request and be with him? Besides, she still wants to redeem herself here, and she has to earn five thousand taels of silver. Yuan Tianye obviously didn't want to let her go. How to arrange her, he has his own decision, where is she said to be with whomever she wants?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but have a headache. Hearing the noise outside getting closer and closer, she quickly suppressed these chaotic thoughts, lifted the lid of the pot and scooped a piece of beef, put it in her mouth and tasted it, the delicious taste and crispy texture of the beef made her very satisfied. She closed the lid and extinguished the fire in the stove. Then he went out of the door, carefully locked the door, and then walked in the direction from which the sound came.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard Wu Caiyun's voice shouting there: "How is it possible? How is this possible? How can her beef be superior? Ma Jiaoxi, I obviously saw her charring the beef. Really, Su Xiaoshu and Yang Yu have seen it. ”
"Wu Caiyun, don't you spew blood, okay? Which eye did you see me charring beef? I tell you, there is also a punishment for framing good people. Zhou Yuchun glared unconvinced.
"You obviously cried with a sad face, and ran outside to find Lin Xiaozhu, saying that you went to the toilet and stewed the beef. Later, Lin Xiaozhu came back and helped you get it, and this beef became like this. Wu Caiyun was anxious. It's a fact, but how can no one believe it?
"Ha, Lin Xiaozhu can still do tricks? Turning caramelized beef into a premium beef broth? Wu Caiyun, you didn't make up nonsense like this, did you? Zhou Yuchun was arguing strongly.
"Alright, we'll talk about that later." Ma Jiaoxi said impatiently.
After teaching them for more than two years, Ma Jiaoxi is still a stern cold face, and everyone is still afraid of him. Saying this, Wu Caiyun and Zhou Yuchun were silent.
A small kitchen tasted it, and when she tasted Lin Xiaozhu's beef soup, Ma Jiaoxi glanced at her meaningfully and announced, "Excellent." ”
Lin Xiaozhu's cooking skills are not on the same level as everyone. So it was to be expected that she would be honored. No one disputes this result.
After all the beef soup was tasted, the results of this test were announced, and everyone dispersed, Ma Jiaoxi stopped Lin Xiaozhu and Zhou Yuchun, looked at Zhou Yuchun and said sternly: "Zhou Yuchun, you are honest, is what Wu Caiyun said true?" ”
"I ......" Zhou Yuchun bit his lip and glanced at Lin Xiaozhu habitually, wanting to get an idea from her.
And this time, Lin Xiaozhu didn't give her any hints.
Without foreign aid, Ma Jiaoxi's eyes were like searchlights, which made her uncomfortable, so she had to lower her head and admit honestly: "Yes, what Wu Caiyun said is the truth, I accidentally scorched the beef." This beef was secretly taken by Yang Yu from the big kitchen for me, and Lin Xiaozhu taught me how to redo it. ”
"For the sake of your honest admission, I won't move you to the next level with your grades. However, this is only one time, not an example. The next time you waste the ingredients, your whole group will starve with you. ”
"Yes." Zhou Yuchun saw Ma Jiaoxi raised it high and put it down gently, his heart was overjoyed, and the smile on his face was extremely bright.
Ma Jiaoxi turned to Lin Xiaozhu, his face suddenly became kind, and he even had a smile: "Let's say, for the sake of me so that your group doesn't have to accompany Zhou Yuchun to starve, take out the secret of your beef stew soup and share it with everyone." ”
Zhou Yuchun's mouth opened wide. She said, Ma Jiaoxi has always been very principled, how can she be merciful today, dare to wait for Lin Xiaozhu at this time?
Lin Xiaozhu knew such a result when he listened to Zhou Yuchun and Wu Caiyun arguing, and Ma Jiaoxi did not pursue it immediately. She sighed lightly and said, "Actually, it's very simple, just put a small bag of tea leaves in it, the beef is easy to stew, and the taste is more delicious." ”
That's the secret ingredient. Once you know, it's pretty simple; But if you don't know, you can't even think of it if you want to break your head.
Ma Jiaoxi got the secret recipe, and was in a hurry to go back to practice, so he waved his hand: "Okay, you guys go back." "Turn around and run.
Helplessly watching Ma Jiaoxi go out in a hurry, Zhou Yuchun turned his head, his face full of apology and guilt: "I'm sorry, Lin Xiaozhu, I caused you to lose another secret recipe that your grandfather taught you." ”
"It doesn't matter, even if I don't have you, I use this secret recipe in beef stew, and Ma Jiaoxi will grind it lightly until I hand over the secret recipe." Lin Xiaozhu comforted.
"But, if you hadn't helped me, you wouldn't have used this secret recipe for beef stew." Zhou Yuchun's heart did not feel good at all because of this comfort. Every time Lin Xiaozhu's secret recipe was taken away by the three teachers, he had to sigh for several days. She knew best how important these recipes were to Lin Xiaozhu.
Lin Xiaozhu sighed. That's nature. The mouths of these three teachers are as precise as instruments. Her cooking methods are slightly different, and they are bombed by them in turn, all kinds of temptations, knowing reason, moving with affection, and vowing not to give up until she clarifies her different methods. For this reason, she never dared to go out of place later. Her secret recipes were all seen from TV and books in her previous life, as well as what the old man wrote to her in that book in this life, which are non-renewable and very precious. She also pointed to these secret recipes to sell them for money.
The hateful Yuan Tianye, since that time, except for the original eighty taels, she has never been rewarded. Downing came from afar, too. No matter how good her performance is, Tang Ningyuan doesn't know if she was threatened by Yuan Tianye, and if she wants to be rewarded, she will also be rewarded with two dishes, but she has no money. This made her both angry and helpless.
"But be careful next time. If you go to the toilet, you can also ask Su Xiaoshu to help you look at the fire. I'm always so frizzy and frizzy, and I really become a cook in the future, what should I do? She didn't want to blame, but she still wanted to ring the alarm bell. Zhou Yuchun's frizzy temperament will have to cause big trouble in the future.
"Mmmm, I'll be careful next time." Zhou Yuchun is very good at recognizing mistakes. After admitting the mistake, the fault of the offense will be committed.
(I have a lot of classes today and I'm tired, so I only have one shift.) (To be continued)
