Summoned Ying Tong and asked him to bring the boiled fish to the house, washed the kitchen knife, quickly slapped the cucumber back and cut it into sections, salted it for a while, and waited for the excess water to be controlled, then put in minced garlic, fresh chili pepper pieces, soy sauce, sesame oil and vinegar and mix it well, and finally covered it with a lid and buried it in the ice pile.

Waiting for the cucumber to cool down, He Xiaoqiao quickly made a few dishes such as tiger skin peppers, fried shredded pork with bamboo shoots, crispy tofu and Sixi meatballs, as well as a small plate of salt-boiled peanuts with peeled shells, and even the osmanthus horseshoe cake as a dessert after the meal were all prepared.

When Jiang Fenghao and Lu Ziqi, the two senior brothers, supported each other and returned to the house, the table was already full, and at a glance, it was all dishes that had never been seen before.

"Done? Did you enjoy it? He Xiaoqiao, who was sitting at the table, was leisurely drinking iced flower tea, and when he saw them enter the door, he leisurely and calmly pointed to the basin next to him, "If you have a good time, wash your hands and sit down to eat." ”

The aroma of food rushes to the nose, like an invisible hand pulling the taste senses. The two big men didn't have any objections, and immediately washed their hands and sat down at the table.

Because the insulation measures are well done, the food on the table is still hot, except for the cucumber that exudes a hint of coolness, the most eye-catching is the large pot of boiled fish in the middle.

As soon as the blue and white lid for heat preservation was opened, the thick and attractive spicy flavor instantly wafted out. The porcelain bowl is filled with bright red peppers, thin slices of white jade and topped with shallots and coriander—no matter how it tastes, the color combination alone is enough to whet your appetite.

Jiang Fenghao relied on himself to be the master, and without saying a word, he couldn't wait to grab the fish fillet and start eating, Lu Ziqi saw this and hurriedly raised his chopsticks to join, for fear that he would not be able to eat anything if he was late.

Because it is marinated with egg whites and flour, the fish is not hardened by boiling, but has a smoother texture and is not greasy.

The chili, pepper and ginger and shallots in the condiment not only keep the fishy smell of the fish, but also keep the fish tender, and only one bite can make people have an endless aftertaste.

As for the bean sprouts and cabbage underneath, they absorb the essence of the soup, so they are naturally delicious.

Spicy pure, spicy addictive.

Jiang Fenghao didn't eat less chili peppers when he was in Rainbow Village, so when he ate boiled fish, he didn't have any pressure at all, and he didn't have a straight image, not to mention the left and right, and the eating speed was even faster and frightening; However, Lu Ziqi may not be used to it, his face was crooked when he ate at first, but then he slowly recovered, put down the teacup and joined the food protection war with his super combat power that did not lose to Jiang Fenghao.

Fortunately, He Xiaoqiao had the foresight to leave a small bowl of each dish for himself, otherwise according to their murderous eating appearance, it would be a question of whether he could get some soup and rice in the end.

The two big men were heartily satisfied with a meal, and they touched their stomachs and exclaimed.

Taking advantage of the time to remove the dishes, He Xiaoqiao personally went to the kitchen to fetch two bowls of warm boiled water mixed with salt, and asked them to rinse their mouths to remove the spicy taste in their mouths.

"It's a blessing today." Lu Ziqi burped with a broken fan to his mouth, and sighed with satisfaction, "Even fish with such a strong fishy smell can be made into such a delicacy, my brother and sister are really good at craftsmanship." It is estimated that even if the imperial chef in the palace comes, he may not be able to match his younger siblings by half a point! ”

"Senior brother has won the prize." This is an exaggeration, but everyone loves to listen to good words, and Rao is He Xiaoqiao can't escape the end of being coaxed to be dizzy, "In fact, it's not just fish, river shrimp and crabs are done, and they are all rare delicious." ”

"Crabs?" Hearing this, Lu Ziqi's whole face lit up in an instant, his eyes looked at He Xiaoqiao eagerly, and his Adam's apple slid twice quickly, "I don't know what my brother and sister plan to do with crabs?" ”

"Well...... this"

He Xiaoqiao grabbed his chin with his hand in embarrassment, tilted his head sideways and began to think. Although it is true that it is the best season to eat crabs, she also came up with it on the spot, and she doesn't know what to cook for a while.

"The lady doesn't have to pay attention to him, it has nothing to do with him what you like to make crabs into in the future." He Xiaoqiao was still hesitating, but Jiang Fenghao, who was drinking tea over there, couldn't listen to it at first, turned his head and snorted heavily in the direction of Lu Ziqi, and began to drive people away unhappily, "Aren't you still going to Yuzhou to find your childhood sweetheart?" When you are in a hurry to get on the road, don't rely on other people's homes to eat. It's an eyesore to see, get out, get out. ”

This is really unkind to say, and what is the name of 'relying on other people's family to eat'? He's all got the meal he just had, please!

Glancing at Jiang Fenghao, who was waving wildly with his hand like a fly, Lu Ziqi was silent for a long time, and an extremely strange smile suddenly appeared on his ordinary face.

Just when Jiang Fenghao was squinting at him with a cheap look and shaking his legs and pretending to be an uncle, Lu Ziqi suddenly put down the fan, slowly smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes, turned his head, and said to He Xiaoqiao with a very kind smile, "Brother and sister, I suddenly remembered that there was something I forgot to tell you." ”

He Xiaoqiao paused, and reflexively followed his words and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Didn't you just talk about crabs? Why did the topic suddenly change direction and have something to do with her?

"Don't hide it from my brother and sister, in fact, my brother came back this time, and I specially sent a letter for my junior brother Jiang." Lu Ziqi flicked his fingers, deliberately bit the accent on the three words 'Senior Brother Jiang', and then continued to laugh harmlessly.

"Deliver a letter?" It was only a moment of confusion, and soon He Xiaoqiao grasped the slightest clue, raised his head and looked at Lu Ziqi fixedly, "And then?" ”

Lu Ziqi glanced at her meaningfully, "Aren't my brother and sister curious why my brother wants to mention this matter to you?" ”

Why did you mention it to her? Of course, it has something to do with her.

"Lu Ziqi!" Probably already knowing what he wanted to say, Jiang Fenghao had a look of surprise in his eyes, and while his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, he couldn't help but have a hint of warning in his words.

"What's the matter with being called a brother?" Lu Ziqi shook his fan calmly and pretended to be elegant, and looked back at the past with a pleasant look of 'I have your handle, you had better be obedient'.

Jiang Fenghao stared at him for a long time, smiled suddenly, lowered his head and picked up the teacup unhurriedly, "Seeing that Senior Brother is so leisurely, I guess you don't remember the last time you were in Suhe Valley?" ”

Suhe Valley?

As soon as he heard these three words, Lu Ziqi's back was already reflexively cold, and when he remembered that incident, his whole face instantly turned red, and he didn't know if it was too much blood or intermittent Guan Gong's upper body. Seeing He Xiaoqiao looking over curiously, he quickly turned his head and coughed lightly, trying to hide his embarrassment, "...... Okay, what are you doing with that? ”

"No why," Jiang Fenghao didn't raise his head, he drank tea calmly, his long eyelashes drooped, covering his shining black eyes, "I just want my senior brother to understand what the current situation is." ”

Blatantly arguing with him, right? Don't look at whose territory it is now!

"Excuse me to interrupt." He Xiaoqiao, who had been waiting for a long time and was confused, finally couldn't help but jump out and brush up on his sense of existence, "What kind of dumb riddle are you two brothers playing?" Why didn't I understand at all? ”

First, Lu Ziqi said something to deliver the letter without a head, and then Jiang Fenghao suddenly popped out of Jiang Fenghao's mouth and said "Xuhe Valley", and it seemed that Lu Ziqi seemed to be very afraid of these three words-

It seems that the story in this must be very exciting, but I don't know who is the protagonist and who is the supporting role.

"Ahem, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do, so I won't continue to bother."

Lu Ziqi, who was stared at by He Xiaoqiao's undisguised inquiring gaze, wiped his nose in embarrassment when he didn't eat mutton, and finally got up and said goodbye without sitting still, "There will be a period later." ”

With that, the man had already fled out of the doorway, and flew on tiptoe against the wall, but in the blink of an eye the figure disappeared.

“…… Senior brother is really a weirdo. He Xiaoqiao sighed.

"Yes, that's it." Jiang Fenghao replied in the affirmative with a smile, and poured himself another cup of tea with a look of nothing, which was very logical to automatically ignore the fact that he was often called a freak.

"Then again," He Xiaoqiao suddenly turned his head, stared at him calmly, and was silent for a long time before he asked hesitantly, "What Senior Brother wanted to say just now is related to me, right?" ”

"Speaking of your relationship with the lady, there is indeed a little bit of it." Jiang Fenghao didn't deny it, the No. 1 smiling face with the signboard on his face leaned back on the back of the chair, his peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and he seemed to be quite interested in turning the jade teacup in his hand, and his voice was also lazy, "But it's just a trivial matter, and the husband will handle it properly, so the lady doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

Don't have to remember? It's easy to say.

"Is that so?" Quietly lowered his eyelids, and his right hand unconsciously played with the green silk used to press the skirt, He Xiaoqiao did not have a trace of expression on his face, "Then I know." ”

In the final analysis, she is just a guest in the palace, and for Jiang Fenghao, who is the master, she is not qualified to question her under the eaves of others.

Since he wanted her to pretend to be ignorant and confused, then she would pretend to be confused, and the worst case scenario would be death—maybe she could go back to the original world after she died, wouldn't it?

With a self-deprecating smile, He Xiaoqiao exonerated himself, but his heart was still like a lump of cotton, in addition to anger, there was also an indescribable sourness, which was a little breathless.

"What's wrong? Why does your face look so pale? ”

Even though He Xiaoqiao had tried her best to restrain her emotions, her rapid breathing and stiff body movements still revealed her heart. Jiang Fenghao saw her unusual quiet appearance in his eyes, his eyelids suddenly jumped, and he reached out to touch her forehead, "Are you not feeling well?" ”

"No, I'm fine." Subconsciously turned sideways to avoid Jiang Fenghao's closeness, deliberately ignoring the surprise and incomprehension in his eyes, He Xiaoqiao stood up suddenly, exaggerated raised his arms and stretched back, and yawned with his hands to cover his mouth, half-squinted and turned his neck twice, and added in a lazy voice, "It's normal to be sleepy when you're full." Now my eyes are so sleepy that I can't open them, I want to go take a nap first, don't call me if it's okay - there is still honey lotus seed soup in the kitchen, just put it in the ice bucket, please eat it yourself. ”

After saying that, no matter what Jiang Fenghao's reaction was, he carried the corner of his skirt and entered the inner room without looking back.

Seeing that the door of the inner room was closed in front of him, isolating He Xiaoqiao's figure, Jiang Fenghao slowly withdrew his hand that was embarrassed to be hung in the air, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Although I don't understand what He Xiaoqiao is angry about, judging from the situation just now, Bacheng can't get rid of the matter that Lu Ziqi deliberately mentioned in his mouth-

But why?
