Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Village Kitchen
Hua Xi stuck out her tongue and looked very playful. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Okay, yes, I was wrong!" She readily admitted her mistake, but obviously didn't worry that Liqing would be angry at all, "It's true, the hurt is excited." ”
I was a little frightened when I heard it. What does that mean? Could it be that the "accident" just now actually appeared under the manipulation of Huaxi?
The medicinal juice that fell from the sky was so hot that even the magic green jade cover that was splashed on it made a sizzling sound and raised a cloud of white smoke. If it really splashed on me, I guess my whole back would be burned.
If that's the case, it's terrible.
"Shining, I'm really sorry, I thought you must have the ability to dodge. But don't worry, if you really can't get away from it, I won't let those get on you! ”
I laughed dryly twice, not knowing whether to believe it or not.
It is said that fox demons love to deceive people, but how can the flower demon, which symbolizes beauty, also loves to play tricks on people?
That's right, I've instinctively opened my inner eye at the moment when the crisis manifested, so I've collected a small fragment of information about Huaxi.
For example, she is a "big demon".
For example, her body is a "Gu Mulan".
Of course I didn't say that, because whatever she was, I didn't find it strange.
Magnolia, referring to the purple magnolia flower, is no wonder she likes that pink-purple color of clothing. If you think about it, the magnolia flowers that bloom in spring are almost that dreamy color.
It's no wonder she looks so gorgeous and pretty.
Moreover, at the time of the spring equinox, Mulan is just in the flowering period, I don't know if Liqing chose this time to visit Huaxi, what does it have to do with this?
In this way, we settled down in Huaxi's residence. Her house is very large, and it can be seen that it has a long history. Although it is the abode of the great demon, this house is built with ordinary building materials, and ordinary materials will definitely not be able to withstand the erosion of time and the laws of nature. The house is already very old, and there are traces of tinkering in many places, but these add a bit of a unique charm to the old mansion.
Although the house is ancient, the indoor facilities are very modern, and all the conveniences brought by modern civilization are used for my use, so that the living conditions become convenient and comfortable. Here is the same as "chat", there is water and electricity, there is a flush toilet, there is air conditioning and TV, the room is very large, the air is fresh, even if you live here for a long time, there is no inconvenience. It seems that the demons also know how to "keep pace with the times".
I grew up in the city and didn't know much about life in a mountain village, which was a fairly new experience for me.
"Shining, hurry up and make something delicious, we're going to drink in a while!" Before I could catch my breath, our boss had already begun to command me.
Under the fence, I naturally have to obey the boss's words, not to mention, this is completely voluntary.
And another beauty was unceremonious.
"Oh, Shining can cook, what a good boy. It just so happens that our good guy here is also coming over to deliver food, Shining will see what there is in a while, so let's make something for us! ”
I asked where the kitchen was, put on my apron, and got to work.
The kitchen of Hua Xi's house is not as modern as in the bar, only a basic gas stove and sink, not even an oven or microwave, and instead of a large wood stove made of earth and stone.
In addition, the pots and pans here are also old, clumsy and heavy, but they have a special charm. It's just that the kitchen is much less modern than the bedroom, which makes people wonder if the demon doesn't actually need to eat like this. And it's clear that demons aren't good at tossing the little crafts of human cooking, at least for those in our family.
I am accustomed to modern electrical appliances and feel a bit of a headache in the face of all this, but the reality is that even if the conditions are limited, I have to bite the bullet.
The seasonings here are very simple, and it seems that Huaxi's pharmacy has very little attention to meals. However, I just heard from them that sometimes people who come from afar to seek medical treatment will stay here to eat, so the kitchen here always opens on time. As for the demons, it is not a big problem whether they eat or not, and whether they eat or not depends entirely on their interests and the taste of the meal.
There are also two servants left in the kitchen, who are now in charge of helping me. Although the two of them are very young in appearance, I know in my heart that they are demons, and I can't use normal people's thoughts to judge them.
The two little servants were smiling, but their hands and feet were very nimble. Aside from their lack of imagination in the ingredients, they have no shortcomings in doing things. And although they are "children", they are neither noisy nor talkative, peeling, chopping vegetables, and processing ingredients, at a top speed.
The kitchen is running out of stockpiles, just potatoes and radishes that are easy to store. Fortunately, we had prepared in advance, and I asked Lidong to unload all the things stored in the cloth bag in the kitchen, so that at least one or two tables of food could be paid.
I know that this outing naturally includes the meaning of the spring equinox festival, so this time, I deliberately checked the information about the spring equinox on the Internet in advance. I found that it was a lively solar term. From this day on, the spring color becomes intense, the willows are green, and the warblers fly. The grass grows, the wheat is jointed, the rape flowers are fragrant, and the delicious things will gradually increase. And the spring equinox, flower appreciation, feasting, eating and drinking, is one of the most important items.
Lidong's magic bag has a lot of wine, both Chinese and Western, all of which are originally stored in the bar, and we specially selected the boss's favorite varieties to bring. As for the ingredients, I also went to the market to buy a lot, and soon with the help of two servants, I prepared eight dishes with meat and vegetables.
I was busy when I heard someone knocking on the kitchen door. When I turned around, I saw a young man carrying a bamboo basket on his back, poking his head out of the door.
The boy had dark skin and a white towel wrapped around his head. He looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with long hands and long feet, and a beautiful face. He was taken aback at first when he saw me, then smiled a little shyly, revealing his white teeth.
"My name is Ah Chu, and I'm here to deliver food!" The young man said hello and untied the bamboo basket from his back, "Today's vegetables are very fresh, in addition to the wild amaranth I grew over there, there are also wild amaranth picked outside." I caught two fish in the river today, and I also brought one piece. Cooking? I'm here to help, too! ”
He looks very familiar with this place, so I immediately understood that this "Ah Chu" should be the "good guy we have here" in Hua Xi's mouth, right?
The boy brought the basket and put it on the ground, and then rolled up his sleeves and began to work with everyone.
