Chapter 9: Acquaintance

That evening, when everyone in the restaurant had left, Pang Xie sat alone in front of the stove, staring intently at the three soup pots in front of him.

Among the three soup pots, one in the middle is a pot of all kinds of seasonal vegetables, the one on the left is whole grains, and the one on the right is a variety of birds and animals.

Of course, there were no crabs in the three pots.

The three pots of medicinal food have their own merits, but they complement each other, and they can provide the most intense essence when matched, and Pang Xie tried it for more than half a month to try this best match.

For him, the more medicinal diet the better, he tried the strange organ in the abdomen, that is, the limit of the "whale sac", he can only drink three pots of soup at most a day, no matter how much he can't drink, of course, this is also related to the fact that he has not really practiced the magic power of "drinking water".

Seeing that the soup was gradually boiling and the aroma was gradually rich, Pang Xie stood up and silently transported the dantian cyclone, forcing out three spiritual qi and injecting them into the medicinal diet.

After the three spiritual qi were injected, Pang Xie felt a little tired, and the cyan cyclone in the dantian was also a little lighter, such as today's vitality is weak, it is extremely difficult to accumulate, but it is extremely easy to use.

After the aura is injected into the medicinal diet, the food in it is gradually melted away and integrated into the soup, leaving no trace of food, the aroma gradually converges, and the three-pot medicinal diet is gradually transformed into a transparent and clear white water.

Pang Xie didn't wait for the medicinal food to turn cold, opened the broth and drank it dry, and then the grain soup and vegetable soup were gone.

Until the water is full, there is still a bowl of vegetable soup left, and I can't drink it anymore, so I sit cross-legged and slowly refine the essence in the medicinal diet.

Half an hour later, Pang Xie refined all the essence in his stomach into aura, and began to pack up the kitchen utensils to prepare to leave.

Pang Xie is a delicate person, even if it is a bowl of vegetable soup, he is not willing to waste it.

"It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant, what are you cooking?" a crisp voice came from outside the door, and then the door of the restaurant was pushed open, revealing a delicate face.

Pang Xie looked back and saw a young girl, biting her lip lightly, looking at him with a little surprise.

The girl is about twenty years old, with clear eyebrows, a slender figure, black hair tied into a ponytail and left high behind her head, wheat-colored skin full of healthy atmosphere, a pale yellow hoodie, a pair of dark blue sweatpants, and a pair of milky white platform casual shoes.

The smile on his face is very friendly, the two dimples have a faint smile, and the two eyes are like crooked crescents.

"It's just vegetable soup, do you want to drink it?"

Pang Xie also showed a smile on his face, this was the first time he took the initiative to smile since he became an adult, he was a crab cultivator, the beauty and ugliness of human beings meant nothing to him, what really made him happy was that he could feel that the girl's smile was from the heart, not a smirk when he was polite to others.

"Clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving", this is a handsome monk five hundred years ago taught him a poem, this monk in Suzhou and Hangzhou is quite famous, excellent talent, cultivation is also good, if it is not the exhaustion of heaven and earth, can not go further, may not be able to climb the Western Pure Land.

The smile on the girl's face was even stronger, and she didn't shirk it politely, ran over quickly, stretched out a pair of small hands, picked up the thermos box and drank it, and in the blink of an eye, she drank a big bowl of soup.

"It's delicious, it's delicious, it's delicious!" said the girl, as she sipped.

"Delicious?" asked Ponsei rhetorically.

"I've never had such a delicious soup!" said the girl, sticking out her tongue and licking the bottom of the bowl.

"Hmm..."

The real water has no fragrance, the gods are obscure, these three pots of soup are stimulated by the "medicine" supernatural power, although the medicinal properties are all stimulated, the taste is gone, ordinary people drink it in their mouths, and there is no difference between plain water, this girl can drink differently, if it is not talented, or there is cultivation.

But looking at the appearance of this girl, there is no trace of cultivation, so it can only be explained by her talent.

"Are you a new master? Why haven't I seen it before?" the girl asked, putting down the soup bowl.

"There are so many chefs in the restaurant, do you know them?" Pang Xie asked rhetorically.

"Of course, I know who is the best at stir-frying, who is best at stewing, and who is best at making soup!"

"Oh, what's your name?"

"This girl's surname is Huang Mingtao, Huang who "stays until Juhuang's family is ripe", and Tao who is "drunk and intoxicated"!"

"My name is Ponche. ”

"Xiao Pang, thank you for the soup!"

"No thanks, a bowl of soup is nothing. ”

"Xiao Pang, you made this soup for yourself, right? Can I still come to drink the soup in the future?"

"Absolutely. Pang Xie smiled, a bowl of soup was nothing to him, and he had a good impression of this girl.

"Thank you!" the girl smiled, and a faint scent of plants and trees emanated from the pores around her, which was the unique fragrance of the spirit of plants and trees.

......

This wisp of grass and trees came and went suddenly.

Before Pang Xie could taste it, the faint aroma had dissipated into the air, as if it were just an illusion.

He glanced at Huang Tao in a daze, and his eyes showed a deep incomprehension.

No matter how you look at it, the girl in front of her is an ordinary human being, why does she exude the fragrance of plants and trees? The fragrance of plants and trees that he smelled twice ago was not emitted by Huang Tao?

"What are you looking at?" Huang Tao's eyes widened, and he looked angry, and then said with a smile, "Then when will I come to you?"

"I make soup here every night, so you can come over whenever you have nothing to do. Pang Xie came back to his senses and nodded.

"Okay! Then it's decided! I'm flying an international flight, I can bring you delicious food from all over the world, you won't lose anything!" Huang Tao smiled slightly, showing two small dimples on his face, waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about it today, I still have to go for a run, let's see you another day!"

With that, he turned around and sprinkled away.

Pang Xie stared at her back, and several thoughts turned in his heart in succession, but he shook his head in denial one by one.

This girl is by no means the spirit of plants and trees, the spirit of plants and trees has a special fragrance, it is very easy to identify, and it is impossible to hide his nose, and the real spirit of plants and trees will exude the fragrance of plants and trees between breathing and breathing, and the fragrance will never leave her body, and it will not be like her, occasionally exuding the fragrance of plants and trees.

Could it be because she had some strange treasure on her? No, if it was because of external objects, she would not have discovered the peculiarity of this soup, and she was so interested in this soup that she was obviously able to taste the beauty of it.

Pang Xie joined Donghai Airlines because of this fragrance of plants and trees, and he wanted to find the spirit of plants and trees along the vine, but he didn't expect to finally meet someone who exudes the fragrance of plants and trees today, but he is not the spirit of plants and trees.

What kind of secret is hidden in this, for a while, he can't guess.

......

After this day, Huang Tao came to Pang Xie from time to time to beg for a bowl of soup, but she was usually busy with work, as short as two or three days, and as long as four or five days.

Huang Tao is not empty-handed, she flies international routes in the company, and every time she comes with some French wine, or some German cheese, or Swiss chocolate.

Pang Xie was not polite, and opened it on the spot to taste it, but he was not used to eating most of the food, and only a few could eat it.

As the days passed, Pang Xie and Huang Tao gradually became familiar with each other, but for some reason, the two of them only chatted about gossip and never talked about their life experience.

Pang Xie discovered a rule, Huang Tao usually does not emit this slightly fragrant aura of herbs and trees, only after drinking the medicinal diet, excited by the medicinal properties contained in the medicinal diet, will it exude the fragrance of herbs and trees.

A few days later, in the evening.

Pang Xie sat alone in the dining room, quietly looking at the moon outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Xiao Pang, what do you see my sister has brought you?" The familiar voice sounded behind his head again, Pang Xie's face was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and Huang Tao looked like she was in her early twenties, so she always called herself sister.

"Chocolate, wine, or cheese?" said Ponchet, who didn't look back.

"This time it's a real guy, two big bags of sausages, almost tired sister, you hurry up and try it. ”

"Hard, hard. ”

"Don't say it's hard, is the soup still there?"

"Naturally, it's all in the thermos. ”

"Let my sister drink two sips first, international flights are really tiring. ”

Huang Tao unscrewed the thermos kettle, held the kettle with both hands, and drank it without any image with his head tilted. Pang Xie pulled out a sausage and chewed it slowly.

The sausage tastes good, much stronger than the cheese I brought last time.

"How old are you, and you call yourself sister in front of me?" asked Pang Xie as he ate.

"Don't you know that the girl's age is a secret?" Huang Tao put down the thermos pot and glanced at Pang Xie.

"Oh," Pang Xie was dumbfounded.

"Actually, I don't know. Huang Tao's voice suddenly lowered, "I'm similar to you, my parents are long gone, I grew up with my sister, and my sister can't remember my birthday..."

"I'm sorry," Ponschel paused, then asked, "You have another sister?"

"Yes, she is also in our company, I will introduce you to you another day!" Huang Tao's face suddenly showed a hint of redness.

"Okay. Pang Xie's heart moved, wanting to see if her sister was like her, and had these peculiarities.

"Hey, you seem to be very interested in her. ”

“......”

"I'll make an appointment with my sister first, she has been on a long vacation recently, I don't know when she will be back, let's meet together when she comes back." Huang Tao looked at Pang Xie and blinked slightly.

"Good. Pang Xie nodded, looking at Huang Tao quietly, thinking about how to get more information from Huang Tao's sister.

After Huang Tao finished speaking, he saw Pang Xie stunned, looking at him quietly, and a trace of blush suddenly appeared on his face.

"By the way, why is your face suddenly red? Are you sick? You are prone to fever after a long time of exertion, do you want me to help you see, I know a little about medicine." After a long time, Ponsie suddenly said.

Huang Tao was slightly stunned, stomped his feet, and ran out of the restaurant without looking back.

Pang Xie couldn't help but be stunned, what is this?

It wasn't a serious illness, but then he remembered something and shouted, "You haven't said what your sister's name is?"

The hallway was empty, and only the constant echoes remained.
