Chapter 22: Spring Snow Balls

"Well, I call myself Zhang San, and indeed because I am the third son of the Zhang family. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "The crow poured a cup of Hedong aging for the rose and himself, thought about it, changed to another small bottle, and poured a glass of crystal heart for the female leopard, as soon as the crystal heart was poured out, the restaurant was filled with the intoxicating aroma of wine." Raising his glass and making a gesture to the two ladies, the crow took the initiative to drink the wine from the glass, and continued, "I have an older brother, I like him, he died of illness when he was two years old, and although I have never seen him, I miss him very much. ”

"Poof, I don't see it. The female leopard was so happy when she smelled the smell of the wine that she couldn't wait to take a sip of it, and when she heard the crow's obvious nonsense, she sneered, "Anyway, I don't know how to miss someone I've never met." ”

"What a coincidence, I don't know. Raven put away the grief and said with a smile, "I have a sister and I like her very much, but she died in battle five years ago, well, I miss her too." ”

"I'm so sorry, people like you, I can't tell which words you should believe and which ones you shouldn't believe when expressing your feelings, so I choose not to believe them all. Rose snorted coldly with an expressionless face, "You just say that there is anyone in your family who hasn't died." ”

"I also have a younger sister and I like her a lot. The crow just smiled casually at Rose's comment, "She's my uncle's child, and she's fifteen years old this year." ”

"Huh?" the female leopard raised her head with the wine bottle and asked suspiciously, "Aren't you losers of every generation expelled from the city and not allowed to come back for thirty years?"

"That's right, but the children of the loser are still the blood of the Zhang family after all, so even if the loser is expelled from the city, as long as they are willing to cut off contact with the child from now on, they can ask someone to send the child back to Brocade City. "In this way, their children will have to spend their childhood under the fence, but they will still live in the city as safely as in heaven than in the dangerous wilderness." As a result, some of the banishes who were not good enough would choose to send their children back, but these children were often not doing very well, at least worse than the lord's own children. What's more, they, like their descendants, have to compete for the throne, and because they have no foundation, they have little chance of winning, which means that they will eventually be expelled from the city, but they are grown up and can take better care of their own safety. ”

"It seems to be quite xx humane, but it's actually more xx cruel. The female leopard sneered and said disdainfully, "This means that only your sister who has no foundation is competing with you for the throne, what are you worried about?"

"I never said I was worried. The crow spread his hands and laughed so hard that he couldn't figure out what he was thinking, "My sister was only six years old when she was sent back, and my old man didn't like her, and although he let her live at home, he never paid attention to her. But on the contrary, my sister and I liked this little guy like a doll, so we took care of her personally. After my sister passed away five years ago, I often took her with me and taught her hand-in-hand, taught her how to handle government affairs, taught her how to deal with people, and taught her how to control her subordinates. ”

"xx, you teach it yourself?" said the female leopard, pouting, "doesn't that only breed a bastard with a bad character? ”

"Thanks for the compliment. The crow smiled and raised her glass to the female leopard, in exchange for the female leopard's fist waving in the void, "She is a genius, a genius in administration, she can control the source energy, but she is not a combat-type ability, but a trait-type ability, she can handle dozens of different aspects of government affairs at the same time, and she can memorize all the information in Brocade City." Such a genius will naturally gather a large number of supporters behind it, don't you think?"

"Suddenly I found that although you have been smiling all the time, you are a cold-blooded and pure person, I have a little doubt about the correctness of cooperating with you. Rose's charming eyes showed strange feelings, and she said with a cold expression, "You have spent five years teaching her to be a person who can take charge of herself, but only use her to achieve your own goals, what do you want to do?"

"What do you mean by that?" the crow winked innocently, "I like that little guy, so what's wrong with letting her grow up?"

"There's nothing wrong with others, but judging from your performance just now, it's not the kind of stupid fool who sets up a fierce rival for yourself. Rose sneered, "Since the meeting, everything you say and do, in fact, has a purpose behind it, including what you are saying to us now, it is just because we were forced to accept the task through special threats just now, so now we are alleviating our resistance by revealing some unknown mission content to us." Everything you do has a purpose, so spending five years raising a fierce rival has no purpose? Do you think I believe it or not?"

"Hehehe, the purpose, maybe there is, maybe not, who knows?" The crow suddenly turned back into the hospitable host, pointed to a plate of strange meatballs on the table and said, "I see that you haven't touched this dish for a long time, you might as well try it, this is also a specialty of Hedong, spring snow balls." ”

"It's just a few meatballs, what's so good to taste. Although the female leopard said this, under the expectant gaze of the crow, she still picked one up and put it in her mouth. The balls are white, the surface is unusually delicate, and they are placed on the emerald green leaves, like the remnants of snow on the young leaves of the branches in early spring. When you bite into it, the flavor of the fish ripples in your mouth, but the texture is different from that of fish, it is a gelatinous smooth texture, and there is no roughness of the meat at all, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as melt-in-your-mouth.

Tried a ball again, and looked at the female leopard who was looking around with a ball full of curiosity, Rose asked tentatively, "Is this fish?"

"Sort of. The crow nodded, "The white fish that are a specialty of an unnamed lake nearby, cut the fattest gelatinous fat directly below their stomachs, beat them into a mud and form balls, and then use the two quick pieces of meat without thorns on both sides of the fish's belly to chop into minced meat and wrap them in the balls, and the outermost bread is steamed with a layer of duckweed from the nameless lake, in short, it is a very troublesome dish, but the taste is absolutely unique." ”

"It's really unique. Rose just sneered, "But as I said, everything you say has its own purpose, and now introduce us to try this dish, what is the purpose?"
