I don't know why, this girl has such magic, although what she said, although it was not an earth-shattering word, but to Xiao Hongluo's ears, it had a soul-shocking effect.

At this time, seeing her looking at herself sincerely, there seemed to be pity and sympathy in her eyes, Xiao Hongluo couldn't help but look away from her eyes, and just asked sullenly: "Is it?" ”

Although he asked Qi Erfeng, Xiao Hongluo knew very well that this was not an inquiry at all, but an agreement. He already agreed with what she had just said in his heart, but he didn't want to admit it in front of her.

Qi Erfeng is such a smart person, seeing him like this at this time, he naturally won't say anything anymore, just standing silently on the side.

Time flies quickly, more than half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, in the past half a month, Qi Erfeng has been busy with the reopening of the Drunken Immortal Residence, and he doesn't have much time to think about things related to Xiao Hongluo, even if he occasionally thinks about it, he just thinks about his lonely look that day.

Qi Erfeng didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, but after that conversation that day, Xiao Hongluo left.

Didn't say anything, just left.

Qi Erfeng didn't know if he regarded himself as someone he could trust. Sometimes I think too much, and my heart is messed up. Therefore, Qi Erfeng didn't want to do it later. Since he didn't say anything, she should not want to know anything.

God knows how hard it would be for her to suppress her inner curiosity.

On this day, when he had nothing to do, Qi Erfeng went to the back kitchen to study new dishes with Pei Fangcai.

In the fragrant kitchen, I saw Pei Fangcai frowning, holding his chin with one hand and holding his chest with the other, his brows furrowed slightly, looking very puzzled.

"Miss Qi, you say, what's wrong with this? It stands to reason that it shouldn't. Pei Fangcai said as he reached out with a spoon and stirred the bowl of paste-like things in the bowl, looking very unwilling.

Qi Erfeng was rinsing his mouth non-stop, shaking his head and grunting his neck.

After spitting out, she said: "I think, we should have misplaced something, if not, how could it be full of aroma and so bad taste?" ”

Pei Fangcai nodded: "What you said makes sense, but ...... What did we misplace? ”

As soon as he mentioned this, Qi Erfeng had a headache, the two of them had been in the back kitchen for a morning, and they still hadn't figured out what was inappropriate in this soup.

It stands to reason that this soup should be delicious, but now the taste makes people feel a lot less and a lot more. All in all, it's a very strange feeling, but I can't say what's wrong.

In order to figure out what was more or what was missing in this soup, Qi Erfeng had tried countless times this morning, but each time she refreshed her understanding of how unpalatable this soup was.

Every time, I can't help but rinse my mouth and rinse the uncomfortable taste in my mouth.

"I don't know yet, but I feel like I'm about to know." Qi Erfeng said.

Pei Fangcai thought for a while and said, "I have an idea, but I don't know if it works." ”

"What thoughts?" As soon as he heard that he had an idea, Qi Erfeng immediately became interested.

"I think we should go to the mountains and look for it." Pei Fangcai stroked his chin and said, as if there was a long beard there.

Qi Erfeng looked at him like this, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "What are you looking for in the mountains?" Why don't I understand what you're saying? ”

"I mean, whether it's more or less in the things we add, it must be just ingredients, right?" Pei Fangcai turned his head and looked at Qi Erfeng excitedly with his shining eyes and said.

Qi Erfeng couldn't help but nodded, although she didn't know why she was nodding, but as soon as she heard Pei Fangcai's determined tone, she unconsciously wanted to nod.

"yes, if that's the case, then we're going to look for it." Pei Fangcai said.

"But how do you know it's in the mountains? Can't it be in the earth, it can't be in the sea? It wasn't that Qi Erfeng deliberately raised the bar, but seeing Pei Fangcai's determined appearance, she subconsciously asked this question.

When she asked, she immediately regretted it. Whether he is right or not, he should not be questioned so much, what if it discourages him? What if he doesn't want to come up with ideas in the future?

Fortunately, Pei Fangcai is not the one who gives up with a slight blow, he heard Qi Erfeng ask, and immediately shook his head and said: "No, no, my intuition tells me that this taste should be mountainous." If it's in the ground or in the sea, I can react immediately. But ......"

Speaking of this, Pei Fang paused, as if he didn't know what words to use to express it. After thinking about it, he said, "But even if an experienced person like me can't react to it, it means that this smell is in a place that people are not familiar with." ”

It turned out that he wanted to praise himself, no wonder he looked embarrassed just now, it seemed that he wanted to praise himself, but he didn't want to make himself look too conceited.

Qi Erfeng couldn't help but smile and nodded, "In this way, this taste should be on the mountain." So how can we find it in the mountains? ”

There is such a vast world on the mountain, it is impossible to find it inch by inch, right?

However, Pei Fangcai's words made her desperate.

"I'm going to look for it little by little."

"Huh?" Qi Erfeng couldn't help but open his mouth wide, that was too scary, right? What year and month do you have to find this?

Pei Fangcai had long expected her to look like this, so he smiled and said: "Actually, you don't need to be so surprised, I have done this before, but it's just that the distance has been too long, so I can't tell the taste clearly, but I probably still have a direction in my heart." I think there's one less flavor in our soup, and it should feel like mint. ”

Qi Erfeng was a little surprised: "Mint? So pungent taste? Impossible, right? If it's mint flavor, I can immediately identify whether it's more or less. But now, I don't have a clue, I don't think it's such an obvious taste. If you say anything else, I believe it, if that's it......"

If this is the taste, Qi Erfeng naturally doesn't believe it. However, seeing that Pei Fang was only a handful of years old, Qi Erfeng still didn't plan to say it so bluntly. After all, it is still necessary to consider the affordability of the elderly.

However, what Qi Erfeng didn't expect was that Pei Fangcai didn't mean to be angry at all. didn't feel that there was anything wrong with being questioned by Qi Erfeng at all, but said with a happy look: "Mmmmmm, I know that ordinary people will definitely not believe it." Don't worry, you'll be convinced. ”

"Really?" Qi Erfeng couldn't help but want to laugh, Pei Fangcai's serious look looked really cute.

"Of course it's true, if you don't believe it, just wait and see." Pei Fangcai laughed, not taking the words she didn't believe to heart at all.

Qi Erfeng nodded and said, "Okay, but what, if what you say is wrong at that time, I will deduct my salary." ”

"Salary?" Although he has been following Qi Erfeng for a while, Pei Fangcai is still not used to the fresh words that pop out of Qi Erfeng's mouth from time to time.

"Well, it's the salary."

As soon as he heard this, Pei Fang, who was calm just now, was not happy: "Bum, how can this be?" Even if I don't say it right, I won't have to deduct my money. If I ......"

"If you're right, you'll be paid double this month." Qi Erfeng knew what Pei Fang wanted to say, so he immediately lured him and blocked his mouth in a way that he couldn't refute.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard that if the matter was done, he could get two months' money, Pei Fang immediately smiled.

"Haha! Are you sure? Then we'll make up our minds, and you won't regret it then. Pei Fangcai smiled, as if he had already won. Although there is still a trace of uncertainty in his heart, he is still very confident in his judgment.

Seeing that he was so confident, Qi Erfeng put his mind at ease and asked curiously: "Uncle Pei, you explain to me, why do you think that such a taste is missing?" Don't you think the smell is so obvious that it can't be at all? ”

Pei Fangcai shook his head: "The taste of mint, when it exists alone, it does feel that the taste is very rushing, but if it is with other flavors, it will highlight other flavors obviously, and its own taste is not so obvious." This principle is similar to adding sugar to a stir-fry. ”

As soon as he said this, Qi Erfeng somewhat understood.

The reason why Qi Erfeng said just now that he wanted to deduct money and add money was to see how sure he was of his judgment. Now it seems that Pei Fangcai is very confident in his judgment. In this case, it would be great, if his judgment was correct, then their soup would be successfully developed, and then the Drunken Immortal Residence would have a signature dish.

Qi Erfeng was excited, and immediately reached out and patted Pei Fangcai's shoulder: "Wow! If that's the case, it's great, Uncle Pei, you're the hero of our Drunken Immortal Residence! ”

"Who's the hero?" A cold voice sounded from behind, Qi Erfeng only felt a chill down his spine, and his whole person couldn't help but stiffen.

turned his head and looked, sure enough, it was Xiao Hongluo, the cold-faced enemy. He was looking at her with a smirk, as if he had been waiting at the door for a long time.
