743 Delicious Magic (Part I)
It's the height of summer.
In the blink of an eye, more than four months have passed.
Since that day Abbe was 'confessed' by Merlin and agreed, the two began to stick together all day long, whether it was downstairs in the chrysanthemum, at home, or up the mountain to collect wild vegetables......
Maybe some people didn't know about it before, but now, almost everyone in the village has understood Merlin's future identity.
- The son-in-law of the Liu family, Abbe's ...... Husband!
As a result, the title of 'Xiaolinzi' began to slowly disappear, and was replaced by a reference to 'Abbe's family' with obvious ironic implications.
In the face of the teasing of those old people, at first, Abbe would blush and refute a few sentences, but later, she was used to it, and even recently, in the face of the ridicule of these people, she would be very bold to hug Merlin's arm, and then show the intimate appearance of you and me who envy others.
And Merlin ......
Well, should I say that I can't live if I do it myself? Or will you not die if you don't die?
Originally, he just wanted to repay the favor and said that he wanted to assist Abbe, but he didn't expect that the situation would develop in such a direction that completely deviated from his thoughts, and when he realized it, he was ...... It's too late.
Deny?
When everyone agrees on a fact, even if it is a wrong answer, in the end, no one will care.
What's more, the people in the village obviously believed Abbe's words more than Merlin, an outsider boy.
Whether it's her status as a 'princess', or because she is already very loved by the people in the village, in short. I want to change the 'fact' that 'Merlin and Abbe are already a couple'. Merlin's rhetoric alone. That's simply not possible.
It's not that I haven't thought about being honest with Abbe directly, it's just that I ...... Every time Merlin had just said a word, Abbe would immediately use the girl's magic weapon, tears.
Facing the girl in front of him with slightly red eyes and a look that was about to cry, no matter how hard Merlin was so hard-hearted, he couldn't say the words again.
What's more, this girl still has the identity of her life-saving benefactor......
So, try again and again. In exchange for repeated failures.
Perhaps he finally found a trick to deal with Merlin, in the 'offensive and defensive battles' in recent months, Abbe slowly gained the upper hand, and if there was no accident, Merlin's identity as the son-in-law of the Liu family was almost a certainty.
"Alas......"
Merlin, who was eating Abbe's food, couldn't help but let out a sigh.
It wasn't that he didn't want to run out of the village at night, but in doing so, he seemed a little ungrateful.
And, it seems, guessed Merlin's thoughts. Recently, his room. It was moved directly next door to Abbe.
In the dead of night like this, the slightest sound will wake up Abbe!
In other words, is there no way at all......
"What are you thinking?"
Seeing Merlin sigh again, Abbe on the side couldn't help asking.
"There should be no problem with what you did this time."
The girl who had already tried it a little in advance didn't think that her cooking had failed.
It's just that Merlin's answer is still exactly the same as the answer a few months ago.
"It tastes really good, but Abbe, there's still something missing in your cooking."
Merlin's expression was quite serious, he didn't mean to perfunctory Abbe, in the past few months, with the recovery of more cooking memories, his cooking skills have stabilized in the realm of superchefs.
And such a realm, even if it is Father Liu, may not be able to reach it every moment.
With Merlin on the side to guide Abbe, Father Liu is simply relieved of a hundred hearts, not to mention, this can also cultivate feelings, why not do it?
Anyway, with other people in the village watching, Liang Merlin can't get out of the village!
With such an idea, Liu's father left the village with Liu's mother two weeks ago after leaving a note that 'we went to Guangzhou to see friends'.
And the entire Ju went downstairs, except for those middle and lower-level cooks, at this moment, only Abbe and Merlin were left!
This situation is completely in line with the rhythm of 'there is a house (chrysanthemum downstairs) and a car (carriage), and parents are busy (going out)'!!!!!
Abei, you're going against the sky, there's wood?!
Although Liu's father and mother Liu created such a wonderful environment for Abbe and Merlin, it is a pity that Abbe is shy, and Merlin only thinks about how to escape all day long, but no one grasps it at all.
As a result, after Liu's father and mother came back, they saw the two people who had never pierced the 'window paper' to cook raw rice and cooked rice......
"So, what's missing from my cooking?"
Maybe the first time could be considered Merlin's prank, but the second and third ...... Merlin would make the same comment every time, and after a long time, even Abbe himself began to wonder if he really didn't do a good job.
Didn't do it well? Then make up for the problem and turn the shortcomings into advantages!
Abbe's cooking skills have always been practiced in this way, and this time, there can be no exceptions.
For four months, for four whole months, almost every day Abbe was mastering his cooking skills. And under such training, whether it is knife work or fire, today's Abbe can proudly say that she will not be worse than those special chefs!
Unfortunately, even so, Merlin's review has not changed.
Is it because the other party didn't evaluate it seriously in the first place?
Abbe, who has been with each other day and night for nearly half a year, doesn't think so. She saw seriousness and firmness in Merlin's eyes, a look that she had seen in the past when Father Liu commented on his cooking skills.
Merlin didn't lie, but he couldn't find a fault on his own, so ...... can only let Merlin say where his shortcomings are.
It wasn't the first time Abbe had asked like this, but the answer she got was Merlin's "I don't know."
If it were someone else, she might have been angry when she heard Merlin's answer, but Abbe didn't, she just repeated the exercise again and again, and then brought the dishes she had perfected to Merlin.
It's just that this time the answer will be 'I don't know'......
Abbe muttered in her heart, as if she had seen the result, after all, Merlin had been answering like this for the past few months.
However, the next second ......
"I don't know."
Kindness?
Merlin's answer changed slightly. And even bigger changes seem to be yet to come......
"I don't know, but I probably know what to do." (To be continued......)
