Xia Ji poured the fine salt into the pot, and handed the rest back to Uncle Bao, who shook his head and didn't accept it, and said, "It belongs to you." ”

Xia Ji nodded, and unceremoniously put the fine salt in his pocket.

Jiang Xiaobai watched the two of them come and go, not understanding what it meant, and focusing on the steaming soup in the pot.

When salt is added, the aroma of the food itself seems to come out, with a fresh and luscious flavor in the mountains and fields, which is refreshing.

After boiling for a while, Xia Ji lifted the leaves, and the wilted leaves were stained with water vapor, and they were thrown aside.

Then one person and one bowl, the hot and fragrant thick soup was full of pleasure, Jiang Xiaobai stared at the mouthful, and swallowed his saliva involuntarily.

Uncle Bao picked up the bowl and gave a salute, Jiang Xiaobai also gave a salute, Xia Ji glanced at the two of them, and shook his head inexplicably, thinking about what kind of aristocratic bullshit this eighty percent is.

However, when he arrives in Qi Country in the future, he will inevitably rely on the two of them, and Xia Ji carefully observes the movements of the two to prevent mistakes in the future.

Finally, it's time to eat.

Xia Ji squinted slightly, enjoying the feeling of fullness in his stomach after a night of wind and frost, and the coldness inside was dispelled at once, and he involuntarily picked up the bowl and felt the heat.

"It's delicious." Uncle Bao sighed, stroked his beard, and looked at Xia Ji's gaze with some satisfaction and amazement.

"Yes. It's the first time I've ever tasted it. After speaking, Jiang Xiaobai covered his face with his hands and quickly snorted, and the hot aroma in his mouth made him want to swallow it all.

"Xia Ji, what is this?" Jiang Xiaobai asked, with curiosity and a little heartbeat.

Uncle Bao shook his head and said before Xia Ji could speak: "Such a delicious must belong to Xia Ji's exclusive secret recipe, which is unique in the world, how can it be easily confided in others?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai sighed and nodded thoughtfully.

Such a skill must have been very popular, and it was easy for the nobility to be impressed.

Xia Ji shook his head and smiled and said: "Don't laugh, this is just a simple boiling, this is a mushroom, this is a taro, boiled together can exude each other's deliciousness, but unfortunately there is no extra seasoning at this time, just a little salt." ”

"Then ......" Jiang Xiaobai thought that just adding some salt tasted so delicious, if it was cooked with sufficient preparation, wouldn't it ......

Uncle Bao nodded, he must have thought of the same thing as Jiang Xiaobai, and couldn't help but take another sip of the thick soup in the bowl.

"It's just simple cooking, and you can do some more in the future, it's just a little thing." Xia Ji said lightly, lowered his head and tasted the rest of the thick soup, not talking about it.

Uncle Bao didn't say much anymore, but he was more interested in Xia Ji's identity.

Jiang Xiaobai glanced at Uncle Bao and stopped talking, just lowered his head and hurriedly ate, and he didn't know if he could eat again when he hurried next.

The three of them quickly eliminated the remaining hot soup and filled their stomachs, and contentedly cleaned up the pots and bowls, and put them away again by Uncle Bao.

Jiang Xiaobai extinguished the fire as it was, then covered it with a few leaves, then looked up and said to Xia Ji, "Let's go." ”

Xia Ji frowned, watched the whole process of Jiang Xiaobai's cleaning up the scene, and asked, "That's it?" ”

"Yes." Jiang Xiaobai glanced at Xia Ji suspiciously, and looked back at the place that had just been covered, there was nothing wrong.

He turned his head again and just wanted to ask, when he saw Xia Ji step forward, ignoring the dirt on the ground, and covered a shallow layer of ash with his shoes on the ashes that had been burned before, and did not stop covering until it was similar to the surrounding color.

Then he broke a pine needle branch, and the fine pine needles swept the footprints left by the three people, and the whole work was done in an orderly manner and with full patience.

Jiang Xiaobai looked at it dumbfounded, and suddenly added a stroke to Xia Ji's meticulous attitude, if this person is used for himself, it will become a big thing in the future.

Uncle Bao also did the same, took pine needles and branches to clean up the traces left by himself, and finally the three of them sorted out the quiet remnants and returned to the road.

……

At that end, Gongzi and Fourteen Eleven and Niu Ke Lian rushed to Chu State.

The road is far and deep, but he is helplessly troubled by the affairs of Chu and Chen, and he is in a hurry all day long, spending most of his time on the road.

When resting on the road, Shi'er looked back at the way he came, and couldn't help but think of Xia Ji, Fourteen stepped forward and patted Shi'er's shoulder, comforting: "It's okay, the master has always been smart and has superb martial arts. ”

Shi'er nodded, thinking of the daily life of Xia Ji in the past, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Gongzi rode sideways and looked ahead, his lips pursed tightly, it was not that he was not worried about Xia Ji, but the state of several countries was becoming more and more tense, and the root cause seemed to appear in Chu State.

He had to go back and take a look, if there was turmoil in the general direction, the people who were in the period, including Xia Ji and everyone else in the world, would be in turmoil.

"Let's hurry." Childe turned his head and spoke, and with a pat of the horse quickly ran away, splashing a cloud of smoke and dust.

The tiredness caused by rushing all day long was deeply reflected on Shi'er's face, and when he heard Childe say this, even if he understood it, he was a little complaining, and muttered: "I rush every day, and I don't see Childe thinking about my sister." ”

Eleven glanced at Shi'er, shook his head, and rode away.

Niu Kelian laughed and said, "He doesn't want to do it in his mouth, but he thinks a lot in his heart." He whistled, chewed the dog's tail grass in his mouth, raised his whip, and followed.

Fourteen didn't move, just came to Shi'er's side to accompany her.

When Shi'er heard Niu Kelian say this, she was a little angry, and remembered Eleven's attitude, her face turned blue, and her eyes couldn't help but be a little sour, she looked at Fourteen: "Fourteen, don't you want to be a sister?" ”

"It is the duty of subordinates to think about the master, but the master must not be in danger of life, so don't worry about the servant."

After Fourteen finished speaking, he saw that Shi'er's face was still not very good, and he didn't understand what was wrong with Shi'er, so he could only stay silent and look at her.

Shi'er's eyes were red, and her voice was aggrieved, "I know if my sister is okay, but you look at the attitude of Gongzi and Eleven, they are in a hurry all day long, and there is nothing serious." ”

Fourteen was stunned, not knowing how to explain to Shi'er, but reluctantly said: "In the previous war, Gongzi suspected that there was something wrong with the Chu State, and once it was instigated by the people behind the scenes, all countries would be in chaos." ”

Shi'er nodded, but her mouth was still pouting, a little unhappy.

Fourteen tentatively dismounted and walked over, took the horse of Shi'er, touched the mane on it, as if it was Shi'er in the palm of his hand, and said warmly: "Shi'er is not happy, hurry up." ”

When Shi'er heard this, she was angry and warm, and she said coquettishly: "What to go, people don't want to go." ”

"Then ......" Fourteen looked up at Shi'er suspiciously, not knowing what Shi'er was going to do.

Shi'er thought about it, her eyes rolled, her heart was a little itchy, she looked at Fourteen, smiled sweetly and asked, "Fourteen?" ”

"Yes." Fourteen answered, looking at her suspiciously.

Shi'er smiled and continued: "Fourteen, do you think I'm beautiful? ”

Fourteen was stunned, and his face quickly turned red after he understood, but he still insisted on not lowering his head and said, "Beautiful." ”

Shi'er smiled happily when she heard this, opened her hand and said coquettishly: "I'm going to jump down, you follow me." ”

Fourteen nodded, but before he could reflect, a black shadow landed in the sky, and he quickly opened his arms, and then a gentle fragrance came from his arms.

As soon as Fourteen wanted to put Shi'er down, he heard a soft voice in his ear and said, "You hold me, I don't want to come down." ”

Fourteen nodded, his face was flushed, and he didn't know if Shi'er saw him nodding, but he just held the girl he liked stiffly.

Shi'er tilted her head slightly, she really didn't want to hurry, it was rare to have such a time when the two of them were alone, she wanted to do something.

"Fourteen, go over there."

Shi'er pointed to the deep woods on the side and said.

Fourteen looked at the horses and wanted to put them down, but Shi'er was stunned and hurriedly shouted, "What are you doing stupidly!" ”

Shi'er struggled to hold Fourteen's neck, refusing to come down.

Anyway, it's just the two of them now, and she can do whatever she wants.

Fourteen was helpless and said, "I'll go and tie the horses." ”

"Tie it up." Shi'er nodded, her hand still tightly wrapped around Fourteen's neck.

Fourteen said, "Then you come down." ”

"I won't go down, you just go." Shi'er started to mess around, and he wouldn't let go anyway.

Fourteen was also a little reluctant to bear the warm fragrance of nephrite in his arms, so he could only let Shi'er hold his neck, and one of his own hands dragged Shi'er's waist.

As soon as his hand touched Shi'er's waist, Shi'er leaned his head softly on Fourteen's shoulder, and his face was a little red, but he didn't stop Fourteen.

In this way, Fourteen led two horses with one hand, found a nearby tree to tie to it, and asked, "What are you going to do over there?" ”

Fourteen pointed again in the direction of the woods where Shi'er's finger was stretched out, Shi'er's face turned red, and said, "You'll know it when you go over." ”

Fourteen nodded, dragging his hands around Shi'er's waist and walking there.

"A little further over there." Shi'er pointed ahead, and Fourteen carried her deeper and deeper, past the bushes in the woods.

Coming to a green grass, Shi'er nodded and looked around and said, "Right here, you put me down." ”

Fourteen let go of Shi'er and slowly put her on the lawn, but Shi'er was lying down, as if Fourteen had thrown her up, Fourteen was stunned, and hurriedly reached out to pull Shi'er up.

But Shi'er grabbed his big hand and pulled him up to the grass.

Helplessly, Shi'er's strength was too small to pull it, she frowned and shouted, "Idiot, you move." ”

Fourteen really didn't know what Shi'er wanted to do, and when he saw that Shi'er wanted to pull him, he could only lie on the grass with Shi'er's strength.
