Chapter 251: Chrysanthemum Pillow (19)
When he was dragged down from the second floor by the sleeves of the torture Ruyi, Chang Tai's face was red, his heart was beating, and he felt like a man on his back. He didn't have to look back, he knew that the fox's face was definitely stinky, but others couldn't see it.
Don't look at this Yin Gongzi who looks like an immortal, but his eyes are smaller than any man he has ever seen, he is very jealous, and he can hide all his emotions very well. Chang Tai knew that this was because he cared about Ruyi's relationship, so although he was not very comfortable staring at him, and even a little weak-hearted, he was sincerely happy for Ruyi.
On the second floor, the fox watched Xing Ruyi tear Chang Tai down, his brows couldn't help frowning for a moment, and then he relaxed. The dishes on the table, he naturally had no intention of tasting them, and he had no interest in tasting them. In the days when he came to the Tang Dynasty, his appetite was first raised by Ruyi, and then he was cultivated by Aunt Lu's good cooking skills, and he became more and more unaccustomed to the things made by these mortals.
Of course, Xing Ruyi also knows that foxes will be jealous, but it is better to let his man be jealous occasionally, so as not to make him think that his fiancΓ©e has no market. Although the three of them have their own thoughts, they are only passing by. The fox on the second floor closed his eyes and began to recuperate in the noisy dining environment, while Xing Ruyi took Chang Tai directly to the back kitchen.
There is no imaginary scene and appearance of parting, there is only the sound of the chef chopping vegetables, the sound of the fire burning, and the sound of the young man brushing the donkey's fur with a brush very seriously. Ning Xiang stood quietly aside, looking at the donkey with a slight smile, but if you look more really, you will see the sadness hidden behind that smile.
"Ruyi, what are you bringing me here for?" Chang Tai looked at Xing Ruyi puzzled, except for the female shopkeeper, the young man, the cook and the donkey who was about to be slaughtered, there was nothing special in this kitchen, he didn't understand what Xing Ruyi was talking about when he was on the second floor before.
Xing Ruyi sighed softly, dragged Chang Tai, and tiptoed to another corner that was more remote and easier to hide. Just when Xing Ruyi was about to doze off and give up, the young man finally finished his work of brushing the donkey and led it to the most spacious corner of the kitchen. The cook wiped his sweat and chose what he thought was the sharpest knife. Ning Xiang's expression finally changed, she walked up to the donkey, and gently stroked its head with her hand, as if she was not facing a donkey, but the man she loved. Oh no, this is the man she loves, but she was turned into a donkey by betrayal.
When Ning Xiang's hand touched the donkey's body, the donkey let out that pleading cry, and a pair of donkey eyes looked at Ning Xiang pitifully. Ning Xiang shook her head and spoke: "It's too late! It's too late! β
The donkey called out mournfully, but Ning Xiang's eyes were wet. She put her hand over the donkey's eyes and whispered, "Do you remember those promises?" You say that you don't lose your life when you're poor, and you say you don't give up your life. But in the end, it is you who bears me, and you who give up me. That's it, you and I are not on the same road after all, and you are not my lover after all, so why should I continue to be persistent. β
The donkey rubbed Ning Xiang's palm with her head unwillingly, Ning Xiang lowered her eyes, Xing Ruyi knew that she was still reluctant, and her heart was still soft after all. If he was willing, he would not have been locked up in the donkey house for three years, and if he had a hard heart, he would have left this Dragon Gate Inn a long time ago.
It's time to pour another pot of oil!
Thinking of this, Xing Ruyi stretched his waist and walked out of the hidden corner. Of course, when she walked out, she also paid special attention to make sure that no one else saw her hiding and the embarrassment when she got up. Her play is not bad, it looks like she has just walked into the kitchen.
"Oh, I didn't expect the kitchen of the Dragon Gate Inn to be so clean and tidy, and this meal is much more reassuring." Xing Ruyi looked at it seemingly casually, but his eyes always fell on the donkey that had been washed: "When will my donkey intestines be ready?" To be honest, I'm already hungry and desperate for this delicious food to save my stomach! β
"Rest assured, girl, the donkey sausage you want will be ready soon. No, our chefs are ready. Oh, girl, stay away, be careful of the white knife in and the red knife out, if it gets stained with your delicate clothes, it will not be good. "The young man has quick eyes and hands, and he speaks in a set way, which makes Xing Ruyi very happy to listen. But happy is happy, her serious business still has to be done.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm here to come to the back kitchen to kill donkeys. Miss Ning Xiang should know that if a girl like us is not out of the cabinet, married, and forced by the situation to show her face, it is really difficult to see such a strange scene. β
"The girl is also married?"
Ning Xiang stared at Xing Ruyi's hair bun, which was not the kind that married women comb.
"Not yet, but soon!" Xing Ruyi pointed to it: "This time, I returned to my hometown with my future husband to get married, oh, the one sitting upstairs with a temperament like a fairy and not smiling is my future husband." β
"So, the girl also runs an inn?" Ning Xiang asked again.
Xing Ruyi shook his head: "I can't open an inn, and I can't do this kind of errand to welcome the south and send the north." I run a rouge shop in Luoyang, which is not large and simple, and it is the most suitable for me. β
"It turns out that the girl is doing rouge gouache trading, is it that what she rubs and uses on her body is different from others."
"You're welcome, a small business, not as good as Ning Xiang." Xing Ruyi said, walked up to the cook, and pointed to the knife in his hand: "Can I take a look at this knife?" β
The cook first looked Xing Ruyi up and down, although he was only a cook, but he was also a cook who had seen the world, and he could see at a glance that the girl in front of him was dressed well, and the young man was still desperately looking at himself on the side, so that he must not offend the distinguished guest in front of him. The cook hesitated for a moment and said, "Please be careful, this knife is very sharp." β
"It's okay, I'm just looking." Xing Ruyi took the knife.
This knife is supposed to have been improved by the chef himself, and it is also specially used for slaughtering, and the blade is thin and thin, which is convenient for splitting tendons and pulling meat. Xing Ruyi took the knife, flipped it in the air a few times, and then looked at the cook with a smile and asked, "This big brother chef, have you ever used this knife to kill someone?" Is there any difference between killing a donkey and killing a donkey? β
The girl laughed, the little one is a cook, how dare he kill someone. Besides, all these murders are to pay for their lives. β
"Oh," Xing Ruyi let out a long sigh, "In this way, then I have to come by myself, so as not to affect you, Brother Chef." β
After speaking, the smile on the corner of his mouth instantly froze, and his eyes became sharp. Before the person next to him could react, Xing Ruyi had already stabbed the knife into the donkey's body, and it was just at the position of its liver, the knife edge was neither deep nor shallow, just right.
"What is this doing, girl?"
Ning Xiang was taken aback, and even her voice trembled.
"Did you scare the shopkeeper of Ning Xiang?" Xing Ruyi turned around and asked, but his hand slowly pulled the knife out of the donkey's body. The donkey let out a cry of pain, bent its front legs, and fell to its knees.
"Ning Xiang doesn't need to panic, I just want to try if this knife is sharp. In addition, I also want to know if the donkey tendons made from the donkeys I slaughtered myself taste better. Well, it seems that my knife skills are not bad, and the position of the stab should be the liver of a donkey, right? β
When the cook heard this, he also took a look: "The girl's knife technique is good, fast and accurate, and looking at the depth, it just touched the liver, and it did not hurt, and it will not destroy the taste of the liver." β
"In that case, I have some talent as a female chef." Xing Ruyi said, played with the handle of the knife, and then stabbed it towards the donkey's heart.
A gust of incense flickered in front of him, and Xing Ruyi looked at the incense blocking him without surprise.
"What is this going to do? Could it be that I have fun killing donkeys and want to try it myself? β
"Yes! Ning Xiang has opened an inn for some years, but this thing of killing a donkey has never been done, just watched the girl's knife go down, it feels very refreshing, so Ning Xiang also wants to try it herself. β
Ning Xiang said and stretched out her hand. She is petite, and her limbs are naturally slender, and even her palms are smaller than Xing Ruyi. Xing Ruyi looked at the hand that was stretched out to him, smiled, and put the knife that was still stained with blood into Ning Xiang's hand. For a moment, Xing Ruyi even thought about whether Ning Xiang, who had got the knife, would suddenly stab at him.
It turns out that there are too many fantasy scenes in her heart.
Ning Xiang took the knife, just said thank you to her lightly, and turned away. Xing Ruyi didn't want to miss the show, so he moved small steps and moved to a position where Ning Xiang's expression could be observed.
At this time, Chang Tai, who was still hiding in the corner, couldn't hide it anymore, he hurriedly walked in, and without even looking at the people next to him, he stood directly beside Ruyi and asked, "Are you okay?" β
Xing Ruyi nodded, "Well, it seems to feel good to kill a donkey!" Brother Chang, you are a fast catcher, when you arrest a prisoner, do you also encounter a situation where the prisoner resists, will you pull out your saber and kill him at that time? Isn't it different from a knife cutting through a person's skin and a donkey's skin? β
"Maybe it's different!" Chang Tai glanced at the donkey lying on the ground: "Although I am a fast catcher, the criminals I arrest are usually more cooperative, because most of the people who commit crimes, in fact, are good people before committing crimes, and there are very few real traitors." β
"One misstep has become a thousand years of hatred, and Ruyi now seems to understand the truth of this sentence. What about you? Ever heard this phrase? β
"Ning Xiang is just an ordinary woman, and she has never heard such words. If the girl is fine, please go back upstairs and wait, this donkey intestine will be ready later, and it will naturally be sent to the girl. β
"It's rare that the shopkeeper wants to try to slaughter the donkey himself, such a wonderful scene, how can Ruyi miss it." Xing Ruyi pointed to the donkey on the ground: "Shopkeeper, please!" β
Ning Xiang pursed her mouth, the hand holding the handle of the knife, trembled slightly, and then she held the handle of the knife hard, closed her eyes, and stabbed hard at a certain fatal point on the donkey's body!
