October 23, light snow.

Northern Qin, no snow.

Listening to Yuxuan's boss is a girl named Cailian, born like a green lotus, especially those eyes, which are not as dusty as they should be in the world, like a lake.

Moreover, Miss Cailian is also a well-known chef in the city today.

However, when he was in his early twenties, he opened this small liquor store in Nanzhi City, the southernmost city in the Northern Regions.

'The south branch is good, it is better to pick lotus. ’

There was an elegant scribe in the city who wrote a seven-rhyme poem, and one of them was particularly brilliant and quite appropriate for the occasion.

Liu Xiaofan is an idler raised by the lotus girl in Tingyuxuan, and he has been here for half a year, and he can't get rid of it, and he has no intention of leaving.

Actually, Miss Cailian has many reasons to let this bastard called Liu Xiaofan get out, but she is really reluctant to make Zen vegetarian dishes from him.

Therefore, seeing that this bastard lives in his own mansion, drinks the green ant wine that he has treasured for a long time, and spends his own money, he is not polite at all, and he can only frown.

Whenever the girl frowned, Liu Xiaofan, the annoying guy, would always poke his eyebrows with his fingers, and he would say that the old frowning would not look good.

For a person who has no other hobbies and is only obsessed with the craft of cooking, Liu Xiaofan is indeed a rare talent.

I heard that this bastard's vegetarian dish with a deep Zen Buddha spirit was taught by a girl.

The lotus girl couldn't help but wonder a little about what kind of girl could bear to teach such a scoundrel bastard to cook the Zen dishes that needed the most meditation and concentration among the cuisines in the world that day.

Liu Xiaofan has a pair of peach blossom eyes, and it is a pity that such a pair of eyes grow on a man.

So almost every day, when the lotus girl sat at the counter and counted the silver, she couldn't help but glance at it a few more times, and then sighed that although this guy was a bastard and lazy, he was a rare mascot in the store.

Since Liu Xiaofan came to Tingyuxuan, the big girls and daughters-in-law in Nanzhi City have come to the wine shop when they have nothing to do.

Gather together to order a pot of wine, if you catch up with Liu Xiaofan and be in a good mood, and burn one or two dishes of Zen Buddhism's famous bodhicitta dishes, it will undoubtedly be more beautiful.

It stands to reason that Liu Xiaofan is indeed a talent, with good cooking skills and handsome looks, and he should never rely on the lotus picking girl to eat and wait for death like now.

Not long ago, the lotus girl bumped into it, and it was said that the three shopkeepers who passed by here were downstairs from the imperial capital, but she really took out real money and wanted to dig this guy to be the chef in the restaurant that is said to have collected all the delicacies of the five regions.

It's just that this guy is not interested, so he insists on staying in Nanzhi City and doesn't want to go anywhere.

In this world, where can there be people who can't get along with money.

After the old shopkeeper shook his head and sighed and walked away, the lotus picking girl joked to him, "I heard that Yuxuan is just a small wine shop that is not famous, and I, but a little cook in Nanzhi City who can only bury her head in cooking and collect cash." Liu Xiaofan, Liu Xiaofan, you are in my listening to the rain Xuan, and you don't want the opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step. Isn't it, it's really because you like me?"

When she said this, although Miss Cailian's face was not red, her heart was beating so fast.

But who would have thought, before the words came out, Liu Xiaofan, the bastard, drank the imported green ant wine with a "poof" sound, and sprayed the whole face of the lotus girl.

Liu Xiaofan, who has always been lazy and wittic, was surprisingly silent for a long time that day, and then sighed for no reason and spoke softly, he said, "I'm waiting for someone." ”

Miss Cailian didn't know who this guy was waiting for, but that day she inexplicably hoped that he would wait for that person never to appear.

But looking at those inexplicably dimmed eyes, she silently prayed that the person Liu Xiaofan was waiting for would know that he was waiting for her.

Such a contradictory mood has never been before, and I can't help but make the girl Cailian herself startled, touched her feverish cheek, and secretly said that it shouldn't be that she is sick, right?

......

The winter in Northern Qin is very cold, but Nanzhicheng is not cold at all.

Perhaps it is because the Beiwang Mountain, which is more than 1,000 feet high outside the city, blocks the wind and snow, so Nanzhi Castle is one of the few 'spring castles' in the northern part of Kyushu.

The four seasons are as warm as spring, but it is not just a casual talk.

I heard that a long, long time ago, Beiwang Mountain was just a branch of Cangyue Mountain, which was more than 800 miles away and has now become a vast lake.

At the beginning, Cangyue Mountain could be vaguely seen in Nanzhi City.

Many times, the lotus picking girl was thinking, now that it has become Cangyue Lake, how majestic it must have been at that time, so that it could be seen from such a distance.

She heard the storyteller who mentioned it, but it was only eight words, which made people fascinated.

'Thousands of mountains and twilight snow, you can pick the moon on it. ’

Come to think of it, it should be extremely spectacular.

......

At night, the moon is in the sky.

Liu Xiaofan couldn't sleep, so he set up a bamboo couch in the small courtyard behind Tingyuxuan, crossed Erlang's legs and began to wipe his long sword.

Miss Cailian was a little confused, it was obviously a mottled and clumsy sword that couldn't erase the sharp edge of the past, and it should have been thrown away and replaced with a new one.

However, Liu Xiaofan treats this guy as a treasure.

On weekdays, even the lotus picking girl is not allowed to touch the slightest.

I heard that that sword has a rather domineering name, called Zhu Xian.

I don't know if Liu Xiaofan was blind himself, or this ancient sword covered with mottled rust, it really has such a domineering name.

It's a pity that Miss Cailian can't be regarded as a person from the rivers and lakes after all, so there is no way to figure out what kind of waves this sword caused in the rivers and lakes of Kyushu half a year ago.

After polishing the sword, Liu Xiaofan naturally picked up the pot of green ant wine beside him.

took a sip and slurped his lips in satisfaction.

The inadvertent action made the girl look a little distracted, and her heart beat inexplicably.

Suddenly, it always feels familiar.

The lotus picking girl snatched half of the bamboo couch, and leaned over with the dustpan to sort out the dried medicinal herbs.

From time to time, he would quietly turn his head sideways to sneak a glance at the lazy young man beside him.

Fortunately, the guy named Liu Xiaofan didn't seem to be aware.

This kind of feeling will always make the lotus girl happy, and the corners of her mouth can't help but curl slightly.

I have to say that the lotus picking girl is really beautiful when she smiles.

Whenever she laughs, there are always two dimples on either side of her face, one deep and one shallow.

Liu Xiaofan was drunk once, he looked at the lotus girl and said something inexplicable.

But the sentence that I don't know if it's a drunken talk or a nonsense has made Miss Cailian remember it until now.

That day, he said, "Shopkeeper, the dimples on your face are also a kind of wine that can make people ......."

That's right, Liu Xiaofan learned the habit of not knowing where to call the lotus girl's name, and always replaced it with the shopkeeper.

This nickname seems to have become Liu Xiaofan's mantra in Nanzhi City in the past six months.

"The ...... of the Lotus Shopkeeper"

The rather lazy voice suddenly made the lotus girl come back to her senses, and she trembled and almost fell off the bamboo couch.

I thought it was this bastard who found out that he was peeking, but before the girl Cailian could react, in a panic, she suddenly felt a warmth in her waist.

A hand came from behind and gently wrapped around her slender waist.

The lazy guy held himself in one hand, and held the dustpan that almost knocked over on the ground with the other, and still lay on the couch as before, calm and calm.

The crispy numb feeling spreads from the waist to the whole body.

The girl tensed all over, and her heart beat faster and faster.

Behind him, the warmth that came from Liu Xiaofan's snort made the lotus girl feel inexplicably relieved.

The girl did not resist, her big eyes narrowed slightly, turned sideways, and boldly raised her head to look at Liu Xiaofan in a daze.

It wasn't until Liu Xiaofan's hand that Bai Zhe didn't look like a man gently tapped on his forehead that the lotus picking girl finally came back to her senses, shook her head, and pouted dissatisfiedly.

This feeling, faintly, seems familiar.

I don't know when, Liu Xiaofan's hand has been released, as if nothing had happened before.

"I said, still not let go?"

Liu Xiaofan looked at the lotus picking girl and seemed to be smiling, and pouted.

At this time, Miss Cailian suddenly realized that her hand was grasping the sleeve of the hateful guy in front of her at some point, generous and natural.

This scene is like a panicked child who will always find a person who makes him comfortable as a backer when he makes a mistake.

It seems, has long been used to it.

The girl Cailian's cheeks were crimson, she retracted her hand, and pretended to be calm by tugging Liu Xiaofan's hair.

Liu Xiaofan didn't care, stretched his waist, yawned, and said, "The ...... of the lotus shopkeeper"

"My name is Cailian!" The girl really couldn't stand it, Liu Xiaofan always took the trouble to call her nickname, a pair of big eyes glared at him, word by word.

Liu Xiaofan smiled, didn't look at the pair of good-looking eyes that were as clear as a lake, slowly stood up and bent down to pick up the dustpan that fell to the ground from the ground, and picked up the medicinal materials scattered on the ground one by one, gathered them in the dustpan, shrugged his shoulders, and said lazily: "Okay, the lotus shopkeeper." ”

The lotus girl took the dustpan angrily and turned away from him.

This guy can always keep himself speechless......

"The ...... of the Lotus Shopkeeper"

Miss Cailian ignored him, and the guy began to mumble that nickname over and over again, which was really naughty.

Whenever this time, the lotus picking girl will always be defeated, a little shy, speechless, and fleeing, with an excuse: "I should go and boil medicine for Gongzi Ying......"

This excuse is not entirely nonsense of the lotus girl.

......

Speaking of which, Miss Cailian is not the real boss of Tingyuxuan.

Two years ago, the rivers and lakes of Kyushu were in chaos because of Cangyue Lake, and many people died.

The lotus girl was picked up by the original owner of Tingyuxuan on the shore of Cangyue Lake, and she probably lost her memory when she saw the bloody scene and was stimulated.

ran blindly all the way, and finally fell on the ancient road not far from Cangyue Lake.

When he woke up, the first thing he saw was the original owner of Tingyuxuan.

It was a girl named Jiang Moli.

She is one of the few beauties Cailian has ever seen, with white clothes fluttering and light veils covering her face, like a fairy falling into red dust.

After Miss Jiang woke herself up, she asked Miss Cailian what her name was and where she was from.

At that time, I woke up from a dazed nightmare, and I couldn't remember anything, where would the girl know what her name was, and why she ran to the shore of Cangyue Lake.

The thought of it makes it feel like the skull is about to explode.

Later, I simply stopped thinking about it.

If you can't remember, you don't know where you're going.

is simply like today's Liu Xiaofan, who is in Tingyuxuan.

At that time, it happened to be the most beautiful day for the lotus flowers to bloom in Namggyi City.

So, one day, Miss Moli looked at a pool of Qinglian and said to her, "Since you can't think of it, then don't think about it." Why don't you call Cailian first?"

As a result, she became the lotus picking girl she is today.

From the day she was rescued, Cai Lian found that the girl named Moli always seemed to have something on her mind, and often looked from the north to the south, stunned, and her appearance was inexplicably distressing.

Later, in the second year, Mo Li left, just like a fairy, a person, a sword and a horse fluttered away from the north.

Before leaving, she handed over the liquor shop to the lotus picker.

Cai Lian didn't know where the girl named Moli had gone, but she thought that she owed her a life, and she must manage this slightly old Tingyuxuan well.

Fortunately, Miss Cailian's cooking skills are really good, although she has lost her past memories, she still cooks good dishes.

It didn't take long for Tingyu Xuan's name to become louder and louder in Nanzhi City.

Liu Xiaofan came to it by smelling the smell.

Not to mention trespassing on private houses, this guy is also a picky eater and doesn't eat meat at all.

Sometimes, Cailian will think that Liu Xiaofan doesn't eat meat, and he cooks a good meal.

This bastard, could it really be that he ran out of some monk's temple?

Sometimes, she will speculate wildly, the strange girl who has gone away in the dust, should it be the person Liu Xiaofan is waiting for, right?

In addition to her proud cooking skills, the lotus picking girl also has a self-taught Qihuang technique.

It seems to be brought in the mother's womb.,Obviously I've never touched a medical book before.。

One day, after accidentally curing an old man who was judged by many famous doctors in Namggyi City to be short of time, he became the 'little doctor fairy' in the mouth of the big guys.

Win Gongzi is one of the patients of Miss Cailian.

This surname is of great significance in the northern regions, which is equivalent to the status of the Jiang family in the south in the Xia Dynasty.

The lotus girl raised her feet and was about to go to the kitchen to boil medicine, but was stopped by Liu Xiaofan, "I made some supper, it's not too late to eat some and then go." ”

This bastard, although he is lazy, the food he can make makes the lotus girl never get tired of eating.

So, Cai Lian sat back on the bamboo couch very spinelessly, looked at Liu Xiaofan's narrow back and turned around and walked into the kitchen.

The corners of the mouth are slightly upturned, and the dimples are getting deeper.

After a while, an intoxicating aroma wafted through the tip of the nose.

The lotus girl suddenly felt how good it would be if such days could go on forever until the earth was barren.

Looking at the young man who was slowly walking with a tray, she murmured softly: "Liu Xiaofan, if the person you are waiting for is me, how good it would be......"
