Chapter 113: The Taste of Barbecue
After Shi Xiaohan changed into civilian clothes, he followed Gu Xu, bathed in the noon sun, and walked on the crowded streets of Yishui County.
She was very surprised by Gu Xu's proposal to "go out to eat".
After all, according to Gu Xu's slamming temperament, she usually either went to the Yamen public kitchen to subsidize the public's lunch, or sneaked back to her own house and used those simple ingredients and seasonings to make a damn health meal.
The most critical questions are...... Gu Xu actually offered to have a treat?!
Shi Xiaohan pinched his arm while thinking about it, almost suspecting that he was dreaming.
…………
The two passed by No. 17 Ping'an Lane, where Gu Xu lived - Gu Xu called the little scholar who came to see the door, and stuffed ten bottles of "Changming Dan" into his home.
Then, they walked through two cramped alleys and came to the barbecue stall next to the vegetable market street in Yishui County.
Shi Xiaohan looked at the smoke-filled stove, at the hawkers shouting loudly, at the vegetable leaves piled up on the ground and the sewage flowing......
Some of them are not comfortable with the noisy environment, and they feel a little new.
"Here ......"
"This official is in a good mood today, and he specially brought Miss Shi here to experience life." Gu Xu smiled slightly.
Shi Xiaohan immediately pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "I told you, don't call me 'Miss'." Call it 'Woman'! ”
"Okay, Woman!" Gu Xu immediately changed his words.
…………
The two of them found a place to sit down at the barbecue stall.
Gu Xu said hello to the aunt who sold barbecue, and put the barbecue skewers, grilled tofu, grilled mushrooms, baked potatoes, and grilled eggplant on the menu...... I ordered them all.
"Jun guy, I often see you come to the vegetable market to buy vegetables," the aunt said to Gu Xu with a smile, "But why did you never come to my stall to eat barbecue before?" ”
Gu Xu was not surprised that his aunt was able to recognize him.
After all, handsome people are always easy to remember.
He silently thought in his heart: Because I was not in good health at that time, I had to learn to maintain health and know how to restrain myself.
But what he said was: "Your barbecue smells so good, I'm afraid I'm addicted to it." ”
"The young man has such a sweet mouth," the aunt replied with a smile, "I'm afraid I have deceived a lot of girls before, right?" ”
Before Gu Xu could deny it, he heard Shi Xiaohan next to him snorting and saying, "Hmph, he can't fool me!" This woman is very shrewd! ”
When the aunt heard this, she immediately turned her head to look at Shi Xiaohan, and looked her up and down, only to feel that this girl was born with smooth muscles and bones, beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.
"Is this girl your daughter-in-law?" She pointed at Shi Xiaohan and asked Gu Xu.
The common people of the Great Qi Dynasty have always married very early. Women often get married in their prime years.
Like Shi Xiaohan, who is about to turn eighteen years old and is still free, he can be regarded as an outlier.
"Not really!" Before Gu Xu could speak, Shi Xiaohan immediately denied it, "We are just friends, innocent friends!" ”
The aunt smiled and did not speak.
Soon, the aunt brought a large plate of barbecue to the table.
After Shi Xiaohan smelled the aroma of meat, he immediately grabbed a kebab, didn't care about the heat, and took a big bite with one bite.
The barbecue has been tempered by charcoal fire to make it have an attractive aroma, and with chili peppers and salt and pepper, it becomes more flavorful, tender and crispy.
Shi Xiaohan only felt that the taste buds on his tongue were moaning comfortably.
"It's so cool!" She couldn't help but admire.
It's a very different experience from eating the chef's elaborate dishes at home.
Although these barbecues are not exquisite, they are mixed with a unique atmosphere of the market - aggressive, stimulating and refreshing, which reminds her of the midday sun, the hustle and bustle of the streets, and the mysterious smile on the corner of the lips when the teenager says, "Bring the eldest lady to experience life".
Gu Xu also closed his eyes and quietly enjoyed the taste of barbecue.
His life has always been self-disciplined and temperate.
Today, he earned 5,000 merits and obtained the "Amazing Pen" to help Lord Chen lift the curse.
He was happy.
He wanted to reward himself for a little indulgence.
"Xiao Han, you should know what the eight major cuisines of Daqi are, right?"
"Jiaodong cuisine, Shudi cuisine, Huaihe cuisine, Jiangnan cuisine, Nanyue cuisine, ......" Shi Xiaohan is like a few treasures.
"This is the ninth largest cuisine in the country, street barbecue!" Gu Xu joked with a smile, and was immediately glanced at by Shi Xiaohan.
"Gu Xu, don't think you can fool me! I'm someone who has read "Food Treasures"! She wiped her oily mouth with her hand and said with a deliberate face.
Immediately, she turned her head to look at the aunt who sold barbecue, and said with a smile: "Auntie, look! I'm smart, right? Someone like him can't fool me at all! ”
The aunt didn't speak, and the smile on her face became more meaningful.
…………
The north of Shudi.
A green hill is undulating, and the peaks are connected, shaped like a sharp sword, straight into the sky.
One of the three major cultivation sects of Great Qi, the Sword Pavilion, is located in this dangerous place.
It can be said that "one person guards the danger, and ten thousand people are in danger".
On the top of the mist-shrouded mountain, a young man in his twenties held a wooden sword and swung it forward again and again.
He has a mediocre appearance and a mediocre temperament.
He wears a cloth shirt that has been washed until it turns white, his hair is tied with a cloth towel at will, and his big thick hands are full of calluses.
His movements are stiff, monotonous, slow, and even a little clumsy, like a beginner who has just learned kendo.
It's just that every time he swings his sword, a deep sword mark will appear on a mountain peak hundreds of meters away.
Those sword marks exuded a fierce killing intent, and even birds and apes did not dare to approach.
This young man is a close disciple of the contemporary sage Sword Pavilion Master, a genius monk who dominates the first place in the "Realm of the Dao", and a "sword idiot" who is known as "breaking ten thousand laws with one sword".
His name is Su Xiao.
But he doesn't like to laugh.
At this moment, a little Daotong came to his side, bowed to him and said, "Senior Brother Su, the pavilion master wants me to tell you one thing - one of the twelve instruments, the 'Jinghong Pen', has a new owner today. ”
"Oh." Su Xiao said lightly.
His gaze was as focused as ever, and the movement of the sword in his hand did not stop.
"Senior Brother Su, the pavilion master said that the Laoshan ruins in Jiaodong Province are about to open. We have a place in the Sword Pavilion, and she decided to give it to you, Senior Brother. ”
"Oh."
"Senior Brother Su, the pavilion master also said that the four princes Xiao Shangzhen, Luojing Shangguan Jin, and Xiangyang Chen Yanping...... There is also the new owner of the 'Amazing Pen', who will go to the Laoshan ruins when the time comes. When you go there, you must behave well, and don't fall into the prestige of our Sword Pavilion. ”
"Oh."
“……”
After Xiao Daotong explained what happened, he turned around and left.
He couldn't be more familiar with this Senior Brother Su's temperament.
fame, opponents, the prestige of the court, the sect, and even the legendary famous ...... In Su Xiao's opinion, they are all floating clouds.
He doesn't care about anything in the world.
He only had the sword in his heart.
What he has to do is to practice the sword, practice the sword, and practice the sword again.
Practice to the extreme, it is the avenue.
