Chapter 546: Braised Pork Trotters Rice Bowl
After a long time, Xian'er sighed: "It's really boring, as soon as you talk about this, you will become a stuffy gourd." β
After saying that, she gave me another blank look, and then sat silently on the roof, not knowing what she was thinking.
I sat next to Xian'er and called, "Xian'er." β
Xian'er replied to me sullenly: "What are you doing! β
I said, "Do you know why I'm angry with you?" β
Xian'er: "Didn't you just use some of the meat and vegetables you bought, and the things you made weren't particularly successful." β
"You're not particularly successful, the dishes are all fried." I smiled at her, and then said to her, "Actually, the moment I entered the kitchen, I heard someone stir-frying inside, and I thought it was ...... It's Master who has returned. β
Xian'er turned her head and looked at me silently.
I smiled at her and continued, "Do you know that Master's most cherished thing, apart from me, is the inheritance of the upright lineage. Cooking is also our heritage, so he always cherishes everything in the kitchen, whether it is the ingredients or the pots and pans used for stir-frying, every time he finishes cooking, he will clean up the kitchen, as if the kitchen has never been on fire. But when I entered the kitchen, I found that the stove was full of vegetable scraps, and the pot was also blackened by you. β
I turned my head, looked at Xian'er and said, "I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you so much." β
Xian'er leaned her head on my shoulder, and said with some grievances: "I really want to help you, today you are patrolling the ghost market again, and you are doing business, I think you must be very tired, so I want to help you share a little pressure." I also prepared a recipe for this meal, but when I was cooking, I realized that everything was wrong. Luo Fei wanted to help me stir-fry, but I couldn't control my temper, the more I didn't do well, the more I wanted to do a good job, but the result became worse and worse. β
Speaking of this, Xian'er raised her head: "You shouldn't blame Luo Fei, she also persuaded me to come, but I didn't listen, and she couldn't help it." β
I sighed and nodded.
Xian'er continued: "Actually, sometimes when I see Luo Fei, I am also very conflicted, she has a baby kiss with you, you like her, I know, she also likes you, not to mention that the Luo family is very satisfied with the Soul Village and you, sometimes I am really afraid that she will snatch you away." But if you choose me, what will Luo Fei do, there is a huge Luo family behind her, if you choose me, how will she face the people of the Luo family? Alas, sometimes it's really contradictory. β
What she said, I have thought about what if I choose Xian'er, what will Luo Fei do, what if I choose Luo Fei, what will I do. I didn't want to hurt any of them, but I kept dragging it out like this, which was a hurt in itself.
Seeing that I hadn't spoken, Xian'er patted me the shoulder: "Okay, let you go this time." Really, as soon as you say this, you're going to be suffocated again. β
I smiled, still not responding.
Xian'er pulled my arm: "Zuo Youdao, I'm hungry." β
I let out a sigh of relief and smiled at Xian'er: "I know you're hungry, I've brought rice, let's eat braised pork trotter rice tonight." β
Xian'er stood up, straightened her waist, and said to me with some complaints: "You have come to me for so long, and my waist is sore when you wait." To compensate myself, I will punish you for only one bowl of rice tonight. β
I smiled and nodded, "Okay, one bowl is one bowl." β
Xian'er: "That's pretty much it. β
Actually, I was going to eat just one bowl of rice tonight. When I was preparing the dishes and chopsticks before, because Senior Brother Feng still had water on the dishes they had just washed, I rummaged through the cupboards and only found two small bowls that I didn't use that night, these two bowls were prepared for Xian'er and Luo Fei.
As for myself, I can only use a large bowl of soup, which is about the same caliber as a small basin, and one bowl is enough for me to eat.
When I came down from the roof, I made a lot of noise because of the weight. Luo Fei probably heard my landing, and stuck his head out from a shop not far away, beckoning to me and Xian'er.
In order to help him set off the atmosphere of the yin, we arranged 72 white candles in the store, and when the door closed in the morning, the store packed up and left, but these candles were still in the store.
Luo Fei lit the candles early in the morning, and the seventy-two flames were enough to illuminate the entire shop as if it were day.
As soon as I entered the store, I couldn't help but smack my tongue: "Oh, it's so bright, it's a mistake, the business of this store is estimated to be no better." β
The shop is too bright, and there is no mystery that should be overshadowed, which is like renovating a car repair shop into a pet shop, which is completely wrong.
Luo Fei smiled and said to me, "Of all these candles, only three or four have been used. β
Hearing her say this, I also noticed the candles on the candlesticks, most of them were new, and only a few were half-burned.
I moved the chairs, sat Xian'er and Luo Fei, brought out the pig's trotters for them to eat first, and when I saw that they both moved their chopsticks, I began to serve the meal.
First put a small bowl on the table, Luo Fei gave this bowl of rice to Xian'er, and I immediately filled the second bowl of rice and handed it to Luo Fei.
While eating, Xian'er said to me: "I have to say, your craftsmanship has really inherited the essence of Chai Ye, the taste is ...... Left there is a way, you Laipi! β
I held the big bowl for soup in my hand, and added rice to it one by one, and said to Xian'er with a smile: "I don't have a skin, you only said to eat one bowl, but you didn't say what kind of bowl it is." β
Xian'er glanced at me and continued to eat her food, but when I sat down across from her, she shouted again: "Oh, what is it, it's unpalatable!" β
said so, but the chopsticks didn't stop.
Luo Fei and I looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
After eating for a while, I called Xian'er: "Xian'er." β
Xian'er chewed on the pig's trotters in her mouth, and said impatiently: "Oh, what are you doing!" β
I said, "I remember you didn't say before, you know how to cook?" Why did you fry all the dishes today. β
Xian'er: "Yes, I can cook, but I can steam rice, what's wrong?" β
At this time, Luo Fei asked me on the side: "After the ghost market is over, do you want to go back to school directly?" β
I shook my head: "I can't go back for the time being, but recently we got clues about the Nine Great Tombs, and the organization asked me to check the authenticity." β
Xian'er raised her head with a snort, stared into my eyes and said, "Take me there." β
I said, "What are you going to do, you're not going out to play." If you do have to go to the grave this time, it may be dangerous. Alas, Master is not here, and I really don't know the bottom in my heart. β
Xian'er seemed very interested in my next task, and she leaned in with me, and said to me, "Luo Fei and I can help you, don't underestimate the two of us, we are no worse than Liang Hou, and they are no worse than them." Luo Fei was now able to move the Genzi. β
As soon as she said this, I remembered that I didn't see the Genzi banner when I was packing up the master's relics, and I thought that the master had put him back in the Jisoul Village, but I heard Xian'er's meaning, the Genzi banner was in Luo Fei's hand?
I looked at Luo Fei, and Luo Fei nodded at me: "When I first entered the university to report, Grandpa Xia came to the school to look for me, asked me to keep the Genzi flag, and let me ...... Familiarize yourself with the Yin and Yang Great Array as soon as possible. β
Indeed, in the absence of Uncle Shi, the only person who can cooperate with me in arranging the Yin and Yang Great Array is Luo Fei, and the premise is that she must be able to urge the Soul Flag.
Thinking about it, Uncle Xia handed over the Genzi flag to her, which also has a deep meaning.
Luo Fei looked a little guilty: "Before this, I didn't ask for your opinion, so I made my own opinion......"
I waved my hand to interrupt Luo Fei: "It's okay, although the Soul Banner belongs to the Yin Branch Inheritance of the Shouzheng Lineage, but in addition to me, Master Xia does have the right to hand it over to you." He should have a reason for doing so. β
In fact, I know very well in my heart that the clues given to me by Luo Youfang are true, and once I find the tomb, I will definitely go to the tomb. Judging from the situation in the tomb of the Dragon King and the underground palace of the old Huang family, there should be powerful evil things guarding the nine tombs, once the tomb is down, I alone will definitely not be able to suppress those evil things, and I must sacrifice the Yin and Yang Great Array.
I didn't have a choice, this mission, I had to take Luo Fei with me. As long as Luo Fei walks with me, of course, I can't leave Xian'er behind, otherwise I'll be finished.
I pondered for a long time before I said to Luo Fei and Xian'er, "Okay, take you with me." But you have to promise me to protect yourselves. β
Xian'er rolled her eyes: "You still need to say this, really, as if we followed you to die." β
I smiled and pointed at the casserole with my chopsticks: "Eat it, even the pig's trotters can't stop your mouth." β
Xian'er said as she said, "Who made you not make it delicious." He picked up a piece of pig's trotter and put it in his bowl.
I smiled helplessly, and sandwiched another piece of pig's trotters for her, and also a piece for Luo Fei.
Although I was in charge of the ghost market for the first time, I had no experience in many aspects, and there were a lot of mistakes, but anyway, this year's ghost market was quite smooth.
When all the small traders have closed their stalls, the major sects in the store will also leave.
Yan Xiaotian asked me to have time to go to Shaanxi to have a look, and he said that there has changed a lot in recent years, and green trees have grown on the loess slopes in some places.
Seriously, I want to go, I miss the old man on the loess slope and the Lu family's special barbecue, but there is really no time, I don't know how long it will take to complete the next task, and in March next year, I will follow the second master to the Bohai Tomb. In desperation, I can only promise to visit if I have time.
What surprised me was that when Jiufeng Mountain evacuated the ghost market, He Lao Ghost also took the initiative to come over to talk to me.
At that time, I was standing at the entrance of the town gate hall, and his sedan chair stopped near the town gate hall, and I saw him get down from the sedan chair and walk towards me with his hands behind his back.
I really don't have a good impression of He Lao Ghost, the last time I saw him, he always looked like a coy attitude, talking to people arrogantly, not at all like an older generation of cultivators who cultivated themselves.
When he came to me, Uncle Xia and Uncle Zhao were probably afraid that he would be unfavorable to me, so they both walked out of the hall.
Unexpectedly, the first thing Old Ghost He said to me when he opened his mouth was: "Your master is a good person." β
I nodded, wondering in my heart, why did he suddenly say such a thing, didn't he and my master have a grudge?
I saw He Lao Ghost take out a black iron plate from his pocket, which is a tiger head card, which is engraved with the small seal text of "Nine Seal Mountain".
Old Ghost He stuffed the iron card into my hand: "If you need it in the future, you will come to Jiufeng Mountain to find me." β
He spoke in a very small voice, as if he was afraid that his own protΓ©gΓ© would hear him.
