The hour was coming to an end, and the sky was already dark. A large ship slowly moved along the river, sailing into the dark distance.

Qu Linglong watched her two little followers grinding on the stove, clumsy, and very anxious. She had been trying her best to hold back for a long time, and she couldn't help but shout loudly because of her slightly short temper.

"Don't mess with me, get me out. ”

Qu Linglong, who was a little annoyed, kicked the two girls out of the kitchen.

Seeing that Yu Yao ate very little at night, she was full of thoughts about making some supper for Yu Yao, but these two little girls just didn't understand what she meant, is it so difficult to make a skewer?

Roll up your sleeves and get ready for a big fight. She found pork to wash and slice, as well as mutton, chicken legs and chicken wings, and prepared a large pot full of them.

I prepared some green vegetables and pasta, found bamboo skewers and skewered them one by one, and put them on the charcoal stove to roast. She also found fennel, cinnamon, onions, ginger and garlic, and just as she was preparing the seasoning, a short sword silently came to her and put it on her neck.

Qu Linglong was shocked and didn't dare to breathe. "Who?" she glanced silently, and saw a man standing behind her in a night-walking suit from head to toe.

"Don't be silent, my sword doesn't have long eyes. "It sounds like a woman.

"I'm a good man. Qu Linglong hurriedly said, "I don't have anything you want to rob money!"

"I ask you something, and you honestly answer yes. The woman's voice was cold.

"Okay! What do you want to know? Qu Linglong was a little nervous, this couldn't be the person sent by the young emperor to hunt down her, right?

"Who is this boat carrying, where are you going, what are you doing?" the woman asked a total of three questions, but none of them were related to herself, and Qu Linglong was a little relieved.

"Don't you know the badge on the ship? This is the Lan family's boat, we don't go anywhere, we just come out to play. ”

The woman in her nightwear looked at the mark on the door frame and the badge embroidered on the curtain, and looked around, but she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Have we met?" the woman looked at Qu Linglong and said lightly.

Qu Linglong was in a cold sweat, she maintained the posture of being held hostage and remained motionless, after all, the cold blade was against her throat. "I ...... I haven't even seen you, how do I know if I recognize you? Don't you know if you recognize me?"

"It's just a little familiar. The woman seemed to be trying to think of something.

Seeing that she was distracted, Qu Linglong instantly grabbed the kitchen knife on the board and pushed away the short sword around her neck. Her hands trembling as she clenched the kitchen knife slowly stepped back. "Who are you, and why are you asking about us?"

Qu Linglong was a little panicked, she felt that this person was very likely to be the person who received the reward order from the young emperor and made a special trip to assassinate her.

The woman in black didn't speak, she looked at the table full of food, and a string of chicken wings that were almost burnt. He was stunned for a moment, then put away the short sword, picked up the slightly blackened chicken wings, brushed them with the sauce that Qu Linglong had prepared, and roasted them on the charcoal stove.

"Who taught you all this?" her clear eyes stared at Qu Linglong as she seemed to be looking at a friend.

Qu Linglong was a little puzzled when she saw her calm appearance, her clear eyes did not carry a trace of murderous intent, and her calm eyes seemed a little gentle, and if she looked closely, she was indeed a little familiar.

"I invented it myself, can't I?" The kitchen knife held by Qu Linglong did not slack off in the slightest, but the dark iron kitchen knife was very heavy, and she was already trembling with both hands.

The woman in black looked at Qu Linglong, and there was a very strange feeling in her eyes.

Suddenly a gust of wind rose, the woman seemed to feel uneasy, she retreated to the window in two steps, heard a slight footstep, looked back at Qu Linglong, she passed through the window, her body was as light as a swallow, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, and after a while, there was a slight sound of falling water outside the window.

In an instant, the kitchen door was pushed open, and it was Yu Yao. She greeted the door, bringing in a gust of wind.

"Ah Qu, what's going on?" Yu Yao had just heard the complaint from the two little girls in the kitchen, and she sensed a strange aura on the way here. I looked around, but I didn't find anyone.

Qu Linglong was a little indifferent, "It's probably a thief who steals food, and he salivates when he sees my superb cooking skills! ”

Yu Yao was a little puzzled, there was water all around, where did the thief come from? Could it be that some unknown person came in among the people on the boat?

She looked at the open window, sniffing the air for something, only to be drawn to the smell of food. "What are you doing?" she asked, looking at Qu Linglong's busy work.

"I see that you don't eat well at night, you have a lot of trivial things, don't eat better, where do you have a good spirit to face so many things, this is the supper I prepared for you. Qu Linglong happily handed the roasted chicken wings to Yu Yao.

"It's very fragrant!" Yu Yao was very moved and took it easily.

"How about a quick taste!" Qu Linglong put a few more meat skewers on the charcoal stove, and Qu Linglong was very satisfied when she saw the appreciation of others.

Ah Qi, who was standing outside the door, suddenly coughed dryly, startling the two.

"Ah Qi, you haven't rested yet?" Qu Linglong asked. Is this Ah Qi staring too closely?

Ah Qi stepped in and sat beside Yu Yao, "Are you two opening a small stove?" He looked carefully at the pile of food that Qu Linglong was pounding, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Yu Yao handed the chicken wings in her hand to Ah Qi, "You must not have eaten enough, right?"

Ah Qi hesitated for a moment and took the chicken wings, pinched them in his hand and looked at them carefully, but he didn't mean to eat them.

Seeing that he was indifferent, Qu Linglong thought that Ah Qi disliked her craftsmanship, and said a little angrily, "I think he is not hungry at all, the cow chews peonies! ”

Why did he put on such a defiant look, if only he didn't have the appetite to say it!

"Qin Feng has already slept. Ah Qi replied without thinking. "Besides, Qin Feng has been digging the valley in the past few days, and she can't eat meat, don't you deliberately embarrass her when you make such a greasy thing and ask her to eat it?"

Ah Qi raised the chicken wings in his hand, just as a drop of bright oil dripped from above and dripped on the floor.

Qu Linglong's anger breathes from the heart, and evil is born to the side of the guts. In the past few months, the food she has made is remarkable, and the people who have eaten it are full of praise, how can a little beggar dare to comment on her craftsmanship?

"I don't blame you for not having eaten fresh shrimp and abalone from the mountains and seas, if you don't eat it, if you don't eat it, the door is there, so you can't send it!" Qu Linglong decided not to meet this little beggar in general. After mixing her mouth, the lamb skewers were grilled, and she smeared the sauce and handed it to Yu Yao.

Yu Yao was used to seeing them noisy, reached out and took it, took a small bite, and exclaimed: "Well! it's delicious! This sauce is fragrant and spicy." Just to cover the smell of mutton. Ah Qu, you are really ingenious!"

Yu Yao stood up and helped Qu Linglong roast together, "I think I've gained a lot of weight recently!"

Since the day she got on the boat, Qu Linglong has occupied the kitchen, and the cooks brought by the family can only help her. The uncle cook, who was still a little resentful, is now convinced by Qu Linglong, and is still pestering her to worship her as a teacher, but Qu Linglong took her to wash the vegetables.

"It's good to be fat, you're just too thin!" Ah Qi said suddenly.

I don't know if Yu Yao intentionally remembered, she always remembered that Ah Qi used to call Aunt Qin Feng, but now she has become a lot more polite. The tone of his speech was not as cheerful as before, and he seemed extraordinarily restrained.

"Taste it, don't be cold!" she glanced at Ah Qi and smiled slightly.

Ah Qi hesitated for a moment, then tore off a piece of chicken with his hand, lifted the corner of the veil, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it carefully.

After a while, I heard him say: "This roasted chicken wings is common, but the taste is really unusual! I don't know where Qu'er's craftsmanship is inherited? Could it be that he is inseparable from the identity of a ghost doctor or a kitchen god?"

"How many times have I told you? Don't call me Qu'er!" Qu Linglong looked very angry. It's not that it's ugly, it's just that every time Ah Qi calls her Qu'er, she always thinks of that night, when the full moon hangs high, the handsome man who gently calls her Qu'er, the man who said that he wants to make a decision with his body.

After learning that it was a trap, she was a little annoyed with a little heartbeat, and then there was the cry that was fake and real.

"It's just that the word Linglong really doesn't match your character, and I really can't shout. Ah Qi's bland words always felt like he was deliberately picking on a thorn, but fortunately, Yu Yao pressed Qu Linglong in time to break out, and glanced at herself as if blaming, so she stopped.

"Do you have something on your mind?" Yu Yao asked with a smile as she looked at Qu Linglong's annoyed look.

Qu Linglong was arrested, and her face was a little embarrassed.

"What can I have on my mind?" said as if looking for a suitable reason, "I'm worried about my master, who doesn't know how he's doing. That bad old man, who lives alone in the mountains, is not afraid of being taken away by jackals, tigers and leopards!"

"Don't worry, he's not going to die that easily. Ah Qi replied, his tone seemed to carry some resentment.

Yu Yao was afraid that Ah Qi and Qu Linglong would quarrel again, so she hurriedly handed a bunch of dried fish that she had grilled to Ah Qi.

"Taste it, I just learned, don't force it if it's too unpalatable!"

Ah Qi looked at Yu Yao with some flattery, and hurriedly took it. "Thank you!"

The three of them gathered around the table like this, roasting while eating, and Qu Linglong also took out a pot of wine, I heard that she carried the high-quality medicinal wine that she stole on her back.

Qu Linglong's wine is really poor, she got drunk before she drank a few glasses, she sang and danced, crazy and stupid. Ah Qi couldn't stand it anymore, so she asked her to carry her back to the room.

Yu Yao was happy today, and she was also slightly drunk. Although the pace is a little chaotic, the mind is still a little clear. Ah Qi was not at ease and insisted on sending her back to the room. So he carefully supported Yu Yao's arm, his head hanging slightly, and his back bowed. Like taking care of a treasure, you can't take care of your own posture anymore.
