Luo thought about it lightly and decided to meet each other in the wing room outside the bedroom.

This was not a suitable time to meet guests, not to mention that the person who came was still a young man, but she had her own considerations - the other party would not fail to understand this truth, and even for the reason of avoiding suspicion, he should not appear within ten steps of her. But he knows that this is still the case, and he can only say that there must be something in his heart.

As a genius child of the new generation of the Luo family, she has seen a lot of unpredictable things. Xia Fan's attitude was good at the beginning, but it doesn't mean that he will always be like this. It was a little faster to change the hexagram in less than two days, but it didn't exceed her worst plan.

In case the other party's attitude changes drastically and wants to use last night's incident as a bargaining chip to get something from her, she needs to let the other party know that this move is tantamount to a fool's dream.

And he has to pay the price for his wanton breaking of promises.

Under Luo Youer's "surveillance", Xia Fan walked in with a porcelain basin, "Good evening, fortunately you haven't slept yet." ”

What kind of greeting was this? Luo couldn't tell for a moment whether he was joking or really saying hello. "I don't think it's a good time to visit, you can't ...... tomorrow"

She stopped in the middle of her sentence, as the enticing smell of food caught her attention.

This has nothing to do with concentration, but an instinctive reaction of people - due to the evacuation of the town's residents, the supply of three meals has been completely interrupted, although the Luo family usually buys more food as a reserve, but that reserve food is only used for emergencies, not enough for everyone's daily needs. Considering that there were still two more days to last, Luo Fengqing had already gathered the food and planned to distribute it to the people who stayed on the last night.

In other words, she hadn't eaten for almost a day.

It's okay when she's busy, but once she stops, coupled with the strong fragrance on her face, her body gives the most appropriate response.

Grunt......

Lowe's stomach crumbled softly.

As soon as this voice came out, the momentum she had accumulated suddenly disappeared.

The source of the fragrance is undoubtedly the porcelain basin in the other party's hand.

"Why are you ......?"

"I guess you haven't eaten dinner yet, so you made more. Xia Fan put the basin on the table and lifted the lid, "This thing is suitable for eating and talking, if you think it's good, you can call everyone over and try it." ”

Luo Qing wanted to question him about the purpose of this move, but when the lid was lifted, the words that came to his lips suddenly changed to a different shape.

"It's ...... Crab?"

"Have you eaten it before?" Xia Fan couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"No, but I've heard of it. Luo gently and carefully looked at the angular and golden crabs in the basin and said, "According to legend, the upper class of Yongguo used to eat crabs, the northern blue crabs should be mashed and mixed with sugar to make crab paste, while the southern lake crabs are large and more suitable for steaming. As far as I know, there are three ancient books that mention this, but because of their ugly and terrifying shape, most of them are only used as spices or seafood accompaniments, and they have not spread since. ”

"You still don't call Luo Qingqing, just call Luo Baike in the future. Xia Fan muttered quietly.

"What are you talking about?"

"Ahem...... I said that the Luo family is worthy of the general knowledge of all things, and even knows what crabs are doing. ”

"But there is no record of you doing that in those books. Luo said lightly with interest, "It's not a lake crab, it's not a blue crab, it's more like a common mountain crab by the stream...... Is this really edible?"

Hey, that's not what your pounding throat says.

Xia Fan didn't answer, but directly pinched a crab and put it in his mouth.

With just a light bite, the crispy shell shatters.

Anyone who hears that clatter can imagine how crispy it is.

Luo You'er couldn't hold it back at all, and stuffed a whole crab like Xia Fan, and then her eyes lit up.

"Senior sister, it's delicious!"

Once the junior sister started, Luo Qing couldn't stop it anymore. While silently reciting that this is to verify the history book, and by no means to satisfy her personal appetite, she stretched out her hand to the porcelain basin.

When half of the crab was sent into her mouth, a thick smell of oil instantly bloomed, covering her entire mouth. When the golden shell is broken, the juice inside pours out, giving it a completely different taste. The last thing to be felt by the tongue is the crab meat, which still retains its original sweetness after the impact of the salty aroma, and the delicate shredded meat can be said to melt in the mouth, and the mixture of triple tastes makes the crab delicious reach a new level.

Although the younger sister's statement is simple, it is the most intuitive expression of her feelings about this dish.

"That's ...... Could it be fried?"

Food cooked in hot oil is rare, but Luo Qingqing happened to have eaten one or two of them—a similar meal that is only sold in the big stores in Gyeonggi in the whole of Kyungguk. However, whether it is spring rolls or fried noodles, they are essentially vegetarian dishes, and it is the first time she has seen such a living thing as crabs cooked with oil.

Xia Fan praised and said, "Exactly." Although the rice jar in the back kitchen of the inn was completely removed, there was still a little spice left, probably because these things were not full, so the townspeople did not take them away. When I went to Houshan before, I found a live stream with a lot of crabs in it, and I happened to find a jar of vegetable oil in the kitchen, so I used it to make this. ”

More than a lot, he easily caught nearly a hundred of them with a basket of vines—the crabs of this age had apparently not tasted the beating of the terrible Homo erectus, and they climbed into the basket in groups when they turned over a stone where they were hiding, so that it didn't take him much effort to make up the dinner today.

Compared with the steaming method that emphasizes the original flavor, this kind of slap can catch a few small crabs, not to mention crab roe, and there is not much meat, so when I was a child, the street vendors would string it up and fry it and sell it. However, the high-fat and high-calorie practices that were spurned at that time were a delicacy that ordinary people flocked to in ancient times, and driven by genes, the satisfaction brought by rich oils is far greater than the taste of the ingredients themselves.

As for some modern cooking techniques, such as high temperature locking in water and double frying, they are just the icing on the cake for this already tempting enough dish.

Luo You'er's exaggerated admiration quickly attracted the attention of others, and after a while, the female disciples of the Luo family who were guarding the big room all gathered over. After a day of eating, they were powerless to resist this golden dish, and one by one they became captives of fried crabs.

Luo was slightly surprised to find that in less than a quarter of an hour, the senior sisters and sisters who were still treating Xia Fan coldly would already talk to him without a word at this moment.

This inevitably increased the pressure on her heart. Judging from the current situation, threatening her with fame and innocence should be too much to worry about, after all, that incident itself is the biggest bargaining chip, and whether you bring food or not, it will not help to completely tear your face. However, the other party's late-night visit is obviously not for the purpose of delivering food to them in vain, the so-called cannibalism is soft and short-handed, if the other party takes the opportunity to make some more conciliatory requests, such as letting the Luo family take him one more to spend the night in the wilderness, I am afraid it will take more effort for her to refuse.

"Alright, tell me what you're here for. Luo gently cleared his throat and said to Xia Fan, "Your fried crab is really good, but compared to the interests of the Luo family, the latter is more important, I believe you won't make me too embarrassed." ”

"Unless you make crabs for us to eat every day. Luo Youer followed up and added.

Luo didn't say a word, shook his hand and gave her a hand knife.

"Hey...... the latter hugged his head aggrievedly, "Isn't negotiation just bargaining? ”

"There are some things that can't be compromised, you give me a step aside!"

"Oh......" Luo Youer squatted in the corner of the room honestly with a crab leg in her mouth.

Xia Fan couldn't help laughing, he spread his hands and said, "I said before, because I grabbed too much, so I brought you a copy, and it didn't mean that I came to the door empty-handed." As for what I want to talk about, it doesn't have much to do with crabs. The main reason for this visit is to tell you that it is not the best option to evacuate most of the people, and in fact I have a better way to deal with the night of the Great Wilderness. ”

"You?" Lo frowned slightly puzzled, she really didn't expect the conversation to unfold like this.

"That's right, but that method requires keeping everyone in Qingshan Town - the strength of each candidate is crucial, and it is better to exert the strength close to the upper limit of everyone than to fight in a family or a small team. ”

Typical of paper talk, Luo Qing didn't even want to ask him what his method was. Ten people are naturally stronger than one person, but the premise is how to make the interests of ten people align - this is also the reason why the children of the family can take the lead. "You have a point, but others may not listen to you. The candidate's choice to stay or leave is definitely not the intention of the Luo family, but out of their own wishes, I am afraid that I will not be able to help you. ”

"I know. I'm not going to convince them," Xia Fan said calmly, "as long as they don't have a choice." ”

This straightforward answer was a slight surprise to Luo, who she had assumed that the other party was the kind of person who liked to make plans with wishful thinking, but this seemed to mean that he was not.

For some reason, a trace of uneasiness suddenly welled up in her heart.

"What the hell do you want to discuss with me?"

"It's not about discussing, it's about telling. Xia Fan shook his head slowly, "Because the evacuation plan started because of the Luo family, I think you should be the first to know." ”

“......”

What should I know?

This is even a bit arrogant.

She had imagined the situation where the other party threatened her without knowing the sky, and she also considered whether the Luo family really had the spare power to bring one more scattered door to pass the exam, but no matter what kind of imagination she had, it did not include the current situation.

Luo didn't know how to answer for a moment, and there was an eerie silence between the two.

What broke the silence was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the wing room, as well as the panicked shouts of the Luo family's disciples.

"Oh no, Senior Sister Luo, it's not good!"

The door was opened, and the female disciple who rushed in looked at the room of people chewing crabs and leaving fragrant mouths, and couldn't help but be stunned, but soon remembered their mission, looked at Luo and said softly, "Senior sister, the flying platform and the wooden kite are on fire!"

"What?" Hearing this, everyone involuntarily slowed down their swallowing movements.

"How did it catch fire? There shouldn't be any ignition there?"

"How's it burning?

"Did anyone put out the fire?"

"I don't know...... I also saw the light of the fire from a distance and realized that something was wrong!" The disciple of the report said eagerly, "Judging from the fire, I'm afraid it can't be saved!"

The room suddenly exploded, and only Luo didn't move at all, and his heart was cold.

The words Xia Fan had said suddenly sounded in her ears.

"I'm not going to convince them, I just have no choice. 」

"It's not about discussing, it's about telling. 」

With disbelief, she slowly looked at Xia Fan.

And the latter gave an affirmative answer, "I put it." ”
