Chapter 37: A Tragedy Caused by a Bowl of Wontons
"Who is it? ”
There was a knock on the door, Chen Xiaoyi came out of the meditation, curiosity flashed in his heart, he came to the living room to open the door, and immediately a spring breeze greeted him, his eyes lit up, and Luo Qingwen stood quietly at the door.
I haven't seen her for a few days, and this Nizi seems to have lost some weight, but she is still beautiful and dignified, and her temperament is extraordinary.
"Why is the brigadier-sovereign here?"
Chen Xiaoyi was shocked, and secretly thought that Cao Song would not betray me, right? But seeing that Luo Qingwen's eyes were clear, and she didn't look like she knew the truth, she was relieved.
"Can't I come?"
Luo Qingwen said lightly, her eyes swept a few glances into the room behind Chen Xiaoyi, "Don't invite me in?"
"Please, of course please. ”
Chen Xiaoyi immediately flashed to the side.
After Luo Qingwen entered, she looked at it casually, sniffed lightly, and said in surprise: "There is a smell of medicine, it is very strong, are you injured?"
"No, I'm going to get hurt if I'm in the house all day. I just had nothing to do, flipped through a few potion books I had read before, and had ready-made materials at hand, so I mixed some at random. ”
Chen Xiaoyi smiled lightly and asked Luo Qingwen to sit down.
But Luo Qingwen didn't pay attention to it, but turned her eyes, looked him up and down, and asked, "I didn't expect you to be able to mix potions, so why don't you become a pill pharmacist, but a miner?" ”
"Have you forgotten that I'm a mortal? I can't control the Force, so I can only concoct some basic potions. Of course, this is not the main reason, I was pitted for mining, not my intention. ”
Chen Xiaoyi explained, there was a vague feeling in his heart that this Nizi might suspect him.
So sensitive, is this Nizi a Virgo?
"Take me to see the potion you concocted. ”
Luo Qingwen said simply and clearly, not dragging her feet at all.
"Good. ”
Chen Xiaoyi brought her into his bedroom, and the strong smell of medicine came to his face, and it was a mess, with some metal shelves and utensils on the open space, and more than a dozen bottles on the table, and there were many residual potions or powders in them.
Luo Qingwen picked up a few bottles and sniffed them, her face changed slightly: "Dark materials?"
"When dark materials are added to light materials, they produce a violent reaction that can provide powerful energy for the preparation of potions. This is one of the means commonly used by mortal body pill pharmacists to obtain energy. ”
Chen Xiaoyi patiently explained, picked up the medicine bottles one by one and explained in front of Luo Qingwen: "This is the powder of the demon seed lizard, this is the medicine after the dissolution of the hundred-year-old Tianxuan grass, and this is the root ...... of the grinding lotus."
Luo Qingwen glanced at it a few times, and her interest was gone, she had also learned these in the academy, and knew that what Chen Xiaoyi said was right, her eyes suddenly fell on the bed, staring at the white quilt, and suddenly asked, "Escort Chen, how long have you not changed the quilt?"
You don't have to change the quilt?
Chen Xiaoyi suddenly secretly said that it was not good, it didn't matter whether the quilt was changed or not, but there was no crease on the quilt, because he had never used it at all, and there was a dent on the bed, which was left by meditation.
"Does Guard Chen sit and sleep every night without covering the quilt?"
Luo Qingwen's sharp gaze stared at her.
Chen Xiaoyi covered his nose and said with a wry smile: "This bedroom is full of medicinal smells, where can I sleep, I have been sleeping on the sofa for the past few days, the weather is not cold, and I really didn't cover the quilt." This bed is just for sitting. ”
Luo Qingwen frowned, this answer was impeccable, as if there were no loopholes.
Is it really that I am too careful?
She suddenly said, "What's behind you?"
"Behind?" Chen Xiaoyi turned around, and there was a wall with an ink painting hanging on it, depicting the barren scene of the barren mountains outside the city.
"It's simple...... Sizzle......"
Chen Xiaoyi's body trembled, he took a breath of cold air, and there was an extra sword on his shoulder, the blade of the sword was close to the major artery in his neck, and the cold invaded, and there were already more blood marks.
"Quasi-Colonel, what are you doing? I ask myself if I abide by the law, respect the old and love the young, and don't do anything bad, you, don't be joking. Chen Xiaoyi's face turned pale with fright, and his lips trembled.
Luo Qingwen stared at him without blinking, Gu Yajian was attached to Chen Xiaoyi's neck, feeling the flow of qi and blood inside, there was indeed no force at all.
What's wrong with him, he is a mortal, it is a true fact.
Don't you even believe in the judgment of the head of the family and the worldless lord?
And the panic and fear just now are by no means easy to pretend, unless he is prepared and his acting skills have reached the level of an actor, it is impossible to deceive his eyes.
Luo Qingwen completely excluded Chen Xiaoyi, and felt a little lost in her heart.
She wished she had judged wrong, but it was simply impossible.
"Just obey the law. ”
Luo Qingwen withdrew her sword, her eyes revealing a hint of loneliness, "It's not too early, I'm going back to the fortress." ”
After speaking, he turned around and left, and when he arrived at the door of the bedroom, he sniffed lightly again, and asked, "There is still a smell, what is it?"
"Oh, it's me cooking wontons in the kitchen, and I've picked up some of them when I'm idle, and I'm almost cooked, why don't you have a meal and leave?" Chen Xiaoyi warmly invited.
Luo Qingwen was about to refuse, but suddenly felt a little hungry, she looked at the sky outside and said, "Okay, then let's have a bowl." ”
Chen Xiaoyi suddenly wanted to fan himself, he just invited him out of courtesy, did you really stay for dinner?
It's not that he is reluctant to make this bowl of wontons, but this Nizi has already doubted herself, if it weren't for her actor-like acting skills and early preparation, I'm afraid she would have been exposed just now.
One more minute with this girl will be dangerous.
"I'm such a mouthful, gluttonous and talkative. ”
Chen Xiaoyi complained bitterly, but he had to pretend to be very happy, "Okay, Quasi-Colonel, wait a minute, I'll bring it right away." ”
He ran into the kitchen with a happy expression, already crying inside.
Soon two bowls of hot wontons were served, and the aroma was overflowing.
White, chubby wontons are crammed into large ceramic bowls, topped with golden shredded eggs, tender green greens, and a dash of bright red peppers.
"Brigadier Colonel, you are busy with military affairs, I'll take a box for you to pack and take away. Chen Xiaoyi took out a lunch box and paper bag.
"No, just eat here and give me a spoon. ”
Luo Qingwen sat down at the dining table, looking at those plump wontons, her eyes were already shining, and her appetite increased greatly.
She took the spoon, picked up a large one, put it to her mouth and blew it lightly a few times, and then took a small bite, the sink of the fresh meat and the thin skin were mixed together, and it melted in her mouth, and instantly a feeling of happiness rushed straight to her brain, and the whole person was about to float.
"Ah, this ravioli......"
"It's delicious!"
Luo Qingwen was so moved that she was about to cry, and continued to bite, ignoring her image, she ate up the big wonton in a few bites, and then served another one.
"Don't worry, you eat slowly, I packed a lot. ”
Chen Xiaoyi saw her eating happily, but it was also pleasing to the eye, so he sat down opposite, picked up some powder seasoning and added it to the bowl.
"What is this?"
Luo Qingwen asked curiously, smelling the aroma emanating from the spice powder, saliva flowing in her mouth, and she hurriedly took another bite of the wonton.
"A kind of five-spice powder that I have mixed myself is perfect for mixing wontons, do you want to add more?" Chen Xiaoyi explained.
"Try it, add some points. ”
Luo Qingwen moved the big bowl over with an expectant face.
When I picked up a wonton again and bit it down, the tears of happiness finally flowed out irrepressibly, and every wonton seemed to have a soul and was about to shine.
"Woo, what if I can't eat such delicious wontons in the future. ”
Luo Qingwen was completely immersed in the delicious food, and unconsciously drank all the soup.
"I have decided, from today onwards, you will be in charge of my diet. ”
Luo Qingwen immediately gave an order.
"Huh?!"
Chen Xiaoyi felt like a bolt from the blue, stunned.
He was stunned and said: "Now that the war is urgent, wouldn't it be good for the brigadier to take some energy pills, why waste time by eating this kind of street food?"
"Because of the urgency of the war, we must pay more attention to diet, which is a very difficult task, are you sure to do it well?"
Luo Qingwen said undoubtedly.
"I, I'm not sure, actually ......"
Chen Xiaoyi hesitated a few times, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and shouted, "Actually, these wontons are not made by me." I had it when I moved in, it should have been prepared by Zhang Anling, and just now in order to pretend to be forced in front of the quasi-school, I lied that I had wrapped it myself. ”
He shrugged his shoulders and smiled and said, "Actually, I don't know how to cook at all." ”
"Really?"
Luo Qingwen looked incredulous, "Those wontons are obviously very fresh, like they have just been wrapped." ”
"It's just a sprinkle of fresh powder in the soup. ”
Chen Xiaoyi spread out his hands and said helplessly.
"Really?"
Luo Qingwen stared at him and sneered: "Either be in charge of my diet, or go to the fortress and be an intelligence registrar." Although you are a mortal, you are also a soldier of the Empire, and you should obey the orders and fight for the country. Moreover, you have read books, and your brain is good, so you will become a registrar under the command of Captain Cao, first, to serve the country, and secondly, to increase your knowledge and train yourself. It's decided, the choice is yours. ”
Looking at Chen Xiaoyi's sluggish expression, Luo Qingwen felt comfortable in her heart, thinking that I am a quasi-colonel, and I can't handle you as an inferior soldier?
When leaving, although he was a little disappointed that Chen Xiaoyi was not the person in secret, he was still full of joy and vitality, and he was extremely satisfied with this trip.
"Smack!"
Chen Xiaoyi slapped himself.
"Let you be greedy, let you eat ravioli, let you keep people to eat. ”
