Chapter 34: Staggered
Ah Ling looked at the little master in front of her, and saw that the little master was waving at her, as if urging herself to hurry up. Ah Ling shook her head with a smile, looked at Admiral Li with embarrassment, and said, "Lord Admiral, I'm really sorry to let you follow us all the way!" ”
"It's the little things, and I've had more difficult experiences." When Admiral Li said this, he asked very curiously, "That's right! Ah Ling, can you tell me about Master Bei's other disciple, Lin Yiyan? I'm curious about him! Speaking of which, I've only seen him once in Prince Jiang's mansion, so I'm really curious! ”
"Okay!" Ah Ling glanced at Admiral Li strangely, nodded happily, and simply told Admiral Li about Lin Yiyan's cultivation in the chrysanthemum downstairs.
After listening to the "......", Admiral Li touched his chin and fell into deep thought. Ah Ling glanced at Admiral Li very curiously, not knowing why Admiral Li asked about Brother Yi, and stopped talking after listening.
After half a sound, Admiral Li slowly spoke, "Ah Ling, if according to what you said, this young man named Lin Yiyan is a very talented chef?" ”
"Hmm!" Ah Ling nodded, "When my mother was still alive, I often praised Brother Yi as a rare genius in a hundred years, and few people could compare to him in his talent in cooking. ”
"That's the case......" Admiral Li once again fell into deep thought because of Ah Ling's words, but this time he didn't think long before he was interrupted by a sudden voice, "Sister! Sister! Come and see! Something is wrong! ”
"What's wrong?" Seeing that the little master was so nervous, Ah Ling and Admiral Li also asked in unison, "Could it be that there is something wrong with Master Abbe's tomb (mother)?" ”
"It's not!" The little master shook his head, and then said, "You come with me......"
Seeing that the little master was mysterious, and at the same time nervous, Admiral Li and Ah Ling looked at each other, not understanding what was going on, so they could only quickly keep up with the little master's footsteps.
"Sister! Come on! You see! Following the voice of the little master, a surprised expression appeared on Ah Ling's face. In their eyes, it was a neat and clean tomb, and the tombstones had been wiped clean, and even the surroundings had been cleaned.
Of course, they weren't surprised to be neat and clean. What really surprised them was that in front of Master Abbe's tombstone, there were a third of the incense sticks burned, as well as some fruits, cakes and other offerings.
What really surprised was the tribute made of pastries, which could be described as luxurious. It was a one-meter-long treasure ship loaded with a variety of pastries of different colors. (Please refer to the shape of the ship in episode 38 of the anime)
"Huh! This... This is...... Has anyone been here? Ah Ling's mouth was wide enough to stuff an egg in surprise, and looking at this exaggerated and unusually exquisite ship, Ah Ling stumbled and said, "Okay... What a boast... Exaggerated treasure ship ......"
"And this treasure ship is full of mountains of colorful snacks. The most exaggerated thing is this hull, what is it made of......" Saying this, the little master curiously stretched out his finger and scraped a little from the bottom of the hull and put it in his mouth, "This... This is...... A taste that has never been tasted at all...... The oil is fragrant, the taste is deep and fragrant, and it is soft and attractive in the mouth, and it has a unique flavor that is unforgettable. At the same time......"
Seeing this situation, Ah Ling looked at the little master very worriedly and asked, "Little master!" What happened to you! How suddenly I cried! ”
"Sister!" The little master wiped the tears from his eyes, and said with a choked voice, "Li... Inside... Yes... There's a mom... Mommy's taste. The person who made this dish must know and respect her mother very well, and she made it with great care, and there is ...... in it."
Seeing that the little master said such an exaggeration, Ah Ling and Admiral Li, who were on the side, also curiously stretched out their fingers and scraped a little from the bottom of this treasure ship and put it in their mouths-
In an instant, it was as if a bolt of lightning fell into their bodies, making their whole bodies tremble! Soon, Ah Ling was like the little master, her face was full of tears, "Really... It's true! There is a mother's smell, as if ......"
“…… It's like returning to my mother's arms when I was a child!! Admiral Li took Ah Ling's words, "The rich and attractive and fragrant taste hits the taste buds, coupled with the incomprehensible taste, the ensuing aftertaste stirs the soul, which... What is this made of!? ”
"Fluffy and soft, melts in your mouth... That's right! What exactly is this made of? After Ah Ling finished speaking, Admiral Li and Ah Ling looked at the little master in unison, hoping that he could tell the secret.
"Eggs, sugar, wheat flour......" the little master closed his eyes, and all kinds of ingredients flashed through his mind, "There is also milk!" That's all I could taste because of the special or secret condiments used in it, and the way this dish is made is unheard of, so ......."
Speaking of this, the little master shook his head with some disappointment, indicating that his knowledge was limited. Seeing this situation, Ah Ling and Admiral Li were a little silent. The atmosphere was a little silent for a while, and Ah Ling broke the silence and said, "Speaking of which, who put these tributes?" ”
"Could it be a friend of Master Abbe?" Admiral Li expressed his guess.
Faced with Admiral Li's speculation, the little master and Ah Ling shook their heads at the same time, if they hadn't tasted it before, if they were friends, maybe the two would believe it. But after tasting the emotions contained in it, they knew that it could never be a friend's doing.
"Little master, do you think it will be Big Brother Yi?" After hesitating for a while, Ah Ling said her guess.
"Actually, I also have such a guess, is it possible that Brother Yi is back. It's just that if Brother Yi came back, why didn't he come to see us? ”
"Could it be that Brother Yi is downstairs in Ju, so I don't know what happened to us here?" In the end, the two of them had a confusion in their heads, and they didn't understand what was going on at all. In the end, the little master shouted to himself, "Ah~~!! My head hurts when I think about it, I don't want to think about it, it's still my mother's thing that matters! ”
"That's right!" As if thinking of the key thing of her trip, Ah Ling hurriedly knelt in front of Master Abbe's tomb with the little master, clasped her hands together, and prayed intently!
