When I woke up, it was already evening.

Bai Li stretched his lower limbs and took out the small fish bone hanging around his neck. The bones of the small fish are warm and emit a soft white light throughout. Gently, rubbing his thumb twice, Bai Li sighed and stuffed the small fish bone back into the collar.

She had a shallow dream, which was full of rays swimming in the water, and one of them had the vague appearance of a human.

Through the leaky window, Bai Ze's voice came first: "Li'er, are you awake?" If you are hungry or not, if you are hungry, I will take you to eat something delicious. ”

As soon as Bai Li wanted to respond, he heard Master Han's voice: "Mr. Bai, is your sister awake?" The meal is ready, just waiting for the two of you. ”

"What's your sister's name? That's the White Girl, my future sweetheart. Bai Ze had some complaints in his tone.

Master Han seemed stunned for a moment, and then explained: "It's me who is confused, although they are both surnamed Bai, but there is no similarity between Mr. and the girl's facial features." It's just that...... What does the gentleman mean by this future sweetheart? ”

"That's what Li'er doesn't agree with now." Bai Ze said depressedly: "Master Han, you are well-informed, can you tell me how to please this girl." ”

"Old boy, I warn you, don't beat my girl's idea." Before Old Man Han could speak, Old Man Tao came back with a pot of bamboo leaf green.

"Li'er is not young, and she will marry someone in a few years, rather than marrying those ordinary people, it is better to marry me. It's okay to know the roots, isn't it? Bai Ze approached Old Man Tao: "You are just Li'er's master, Li'er is such a smart girl, and she naturally has to make her own decisions about lifelong events." Your old man should worry less about it, and wait for us to be filial in the future. ”

"Bai Ze!" Old Man Tao narrowed his eyes.

"Gluttony...... Daddy Tao. Bai Ze hooked the corners of his lips and whispered, "Guess, does Li'er know what your original name is?" ”

"Humph!" Old man Tao snorted lightly, walked to the door, and gently kicked on the door panel with his toes: "Girl, you heard what this old boy said." ”

"As soon as he is a fortune teller, he relies on his mouth, master, what do you care about him." Opening the door, Bai Li smiled politely at Master Han: "Is Master Han's illness better?" ”

"Miss Lao is concerned, my bastard son's illness is much better. No, in order to thank the girl for her help last night, and to thank Mr. Bai, the old man specially instructed the cooks to prepare good wine and food, and invited the two of them to taste it. Alas, when it comes to eating, I think of the sweet and sour fish that the girl made last night. Although he didn't taste it personally, the knife work, the color and the fragrance that wafted out made the old man salivate. The girl is very good at cooking, and when it comes to my spring feast, I ask the girl not to dislike the rough practices of the cooks in the back kitchen. ”

"Master Han is polite, I don't dare to compare my skills with the chefs of your spring banquet."

"My family's cooking skills are naturally excellent, but occasionally eat what others make and change the taste." Bai Ze packed up his things: "That, Master Han, don't just stand, lead the way." ”

"Look at me, patronizing and talking, Mr. Bai please, Miss Bai please, and this gentleman, you please."

"Just ask us, what do you ask him to do, Han Gongzi's matter, he didn't do anything." Bai Ze stretched out a leg and directly blocked the old man Tao: "Master Li'er, why don't you stay and watch the house?" ”

"Humph!" Old Man Tao snorted coldly and stepped over from Bai Ze's lap.

"White liar, you are not allowed to bully my master. Young people, do you understand that you should respect teachers and respect the old and love the young? ”

"Respect the old ......" Bai Ze pointed to himself: "I'm actually very old...... Forget it, let's go together. ”

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the spring feast, I saw several people hurrying out of it. Bai Lizheng wondered, and said that they were just here to have a meal, so why should they be ceremoniously received. Could it be because he stood with Master Han, or was it arranged by Master Han to show his sincerity?

Before Bai Li could think of a clue, he heard someone inside say: "The shopkeeper is not good, Ma San has an accident." ”

"Something happened to Ma San?" Master Han took two steps forward with his clothes, and then turned back to Bai Li and said, "Mr. Bai, Miss Bai, and this master, I'm really sorry." Something has happened to the chef in my back kitchen, I have to take a look. This upstairs Guan Ju Pavilion is a prepared elegant room for the three of them, there is a little two at the door who listens to the orders, and the three distinguished guests have a meal first, so let me go up later. ”

"Master Han doesn't have to be polite, you can hurry up." Bai Li was greeting Old Man Han, and Old Man Tao had already gone up by himself.

Bai Ze squinted, grabbed Bai Li, and said to Master Han, who was walking towards the back kitchen: "Master Han stays, I will go with you to take a look, maybe there is something we can help with." ”

"Oh, that's great, Mr. Bai is a capable person, maybe he can help. Please, come around from here and you'll be in the back kitchen of our spring feast. Originally, there were two courtyards next to each other, but I first bought the restaurant here and held the spring banquet, and then I bought the small courtyard here, and opened up the original four houses inside, two as kitchens, and two as houses for the cooks and men to rest. Master Han explained while leading the way, and after saying this, the person also stood in front of the back kitchen.

The kitchen was brightly lit, and the fragrance of various foods and ingredients wafted away, but as soon as he smelled his nose, Bai Li realized that something was wrong: "Is there soup boiling on the stove?" The fire is big, and the bottom is fried. Also, is there steamed fish in the kitchen? The water was also boiled dry, and the fish was paste. ”

Before Bai Li finished speaking, the two cooks ran in quickly, first with an oops, followed by the sound of ping-pong, casseroles and other objects falling to the ground.

"Alas!" Bai Li shook his head slightly, "Didn't I remind me wrong, I just ruined the ingredients, and now I have burned the cook." ”

"Li'er is kind, this cook, can you not know that you have to use something to cushion your hands before serving this thing." Bai Ze comforted very thoughtfully.

"What Mr. Bai said is that they are all old people in the kitchen, so they need to be reminded of this little thing. What about this horse three? Where did Ma San go? Just now you only said that something happened to him, what happened to him, what about people? ”

"Back to the shopkeeper, Ma San'er is lying on the side of the well." The young man pointed with his hand, and by the light in the kitchen, he could faintly see a fat man lying next to the well.
