The rain became lighter. Li Longyan carried the birdcage to the street, walked and walked, and suddenly laughed. Xiaofei said: "What are you laughing at?"

Li Longyan said: "I walk on the street with a birdcage like this, but I look like a gentleman from a rich family, and I feel so unserious." ”

Xiaofei smiled: "You are originally the son of a big family, this is your true color of traveling! Brother Long Yan, how did you come up with the idea of buying me this little bird?"

Li Longyan said: "I miss you alone, and you don't have any playmates, when I'm not there, I have this bird to talk to you to relieve your boredom, so you won't be too bored." ”

Xiao Fei saw that he thought so thoughtfully for herself, and her heart was moved again.

At dusk, the two returned to the thyme flower shop, and at the door of the flower shop, the old man was sitting there guarding the shop.

Xiaofei quietly told Li Longyan that the old man was the shopkeeper Li of the flower shop, and he was quite kind.

When Shopkeeper Li saw the two of them coming back, he smiled and said, "Xiaofei is back, how did you play?"

Xiaofei said: "It's okay, thank you shopkeeper Li." Where's my mother-in-law?"

Shopkeeper Li said: "Granny Shi is boiling medicine. She bought a lot of vegetables today, saying that it was your birthday and she wanted to cook more delicious food. ”

Xiao Feixi said: "Mother-in-law wants to cook? Great, we have something delicious today!"

She told Li Longyan that Granny Shi's cooking skills are amazing, no worse than the chef in the big restaurant, that is, she rarely cooks, and Xiaofei and Shopkeeper Li take turns to cook, and her mother-in-law sometimes instructs Xiaofei to cook.

The two of them entered the store and smelled a strong medicinal fragrance, knowing that it was Granny Shi boiling medicine.

When I went to the backyard to look, I saw that the kitchen door was wide open, and the two ran in, and Granny Shi was busy by the stove. There were a lot of washed and cut vegetables on the board, and a medicine jar on the stove was steaming.

Xiaofei said: "Mother-in-law, you cook so many dishes, you have worked hard!"

The mother-in-law said while chopping vegetables: "Hmph, it's not your birthday yet." Don't be idle, change your clothes and help me. He said to Li Longyan again: "Li Gongzi will eat here with me tonight, please sit in the guest hall for a while." ”

Li Longyan said: "I'll also come to help, I will wash and pick vegetables." ”

The mother-in-law smiled and said: "Gongzi is a guest, how can he work well! Xiaofei, take Gongzi Li to the guest hall to rest." ”

Xiao Feila went to the guest hall, made him a cup of tea, and asked him to stay in peace and taste his mother-in-law's craftsmanship later.

In the end, it is a flower shop, and in addition to the medicinal fragrance in the guest hall, there is also a faint fragrance of flowers mixed in it. Looking around, the furniture is made of ancient wood, and several pieces of porcelain are exquisite. There are several landscape calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and the room is decorated with a very simple and elegant style.

It seems that this shopkeeper Li also has a bit of elegance.

Half an hour later, Xiao Fei shouted, "It's time to eat!"

Li Longyan ran to the backyard and saw Xiaofei and her mother-in-law coming to the hall with vegetables, so he hurriedly stepped forward to take it and help serve the food and set the table.

Shopkeeper Li led a puppy to guard the flower shop, and he also went into the house to help. In a short time, ten dishes were already on the table.

Four people sat around, and the dishes on the table were steaming hot and fragrant.

Shopkeeper Li poured two glasses of wine for Granny Shi and himself, and asked Li Longyan if he drank alcohol, and Li Longyan said no. Granny Shi said with a smile: "The two children are young and have no strength to drink, but today is Miss Lu's birthday, these bayberry fruit wines are soft, but it doesn't hurt to drink two glasses." ”

When Li Longyan heard this, he saw that the fruit wine was purple and red, the wine was fragrant, and it looked very attractive, so he said: "Okay, today is Xiaofei's birthday, I'll drink two glasses." ”

Xiaofei said: "I'll have a drink too." ”

Shopkeeper Li was very happy, poured a glass for each of the two little ghosts, and then raised a glass with Granny Shi and Li Longyan, and said to Xiaofei: "I wish Miss Lu Xiaofei a happy birthday!"

Xiao Fei Yingying smiled lightly, raised her wine glass, stood up and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper Li, mother-in-law, Brother Long Yan." He took a small sip of the wine in his glass, and the other three drank it in one gulp.

Li Longyan tasted the dishes made by his mother-in-law, and sure enough, the dishes were exquisite, no worse than the chefs of the wealthy families.

Mother-in-law can have such craftsmanship, she is very human. It is necessary to know that when cooking a dish, you can also see a person's taste and cultivation, and see the quality and craftsmanship of each dish on the table, all of which are unique in ingenuity, both color and fragrance, and rich in beauty, which is everyone's handwriting. It seems that this Granny Shi is not an ordinary person.

Xiaofei saw that Li Longyan was eating sweetly, and said with a smile: "Brother Longyan, how is your mother-in-law's craftsmanship?"

Li Longyan nodded again and again, and said, "It's so delicious! Mother-in-law's craftsmanship, I really don't have to say anything!"

Granny Shi smiled: "Childe has won the award." I heard Xiaofei say, you are a child of a Jiangnan family, and the delicious food you have eaten should be much better than that of the old woman. ”

Li Longyan said: "My mother's cooking is also delicious, but it is not as good as my mother-in-law." ”

Granny Shi said, "Lingzun Lingtang is now a guest in the Flying Snow Gang?"

Li Longyan nodded and said, "Yes." We're all staying in the Flying Snow Gang for the time being, and we're going back to Jiangnan in a while. ”

When Granny Shi heard this, she smiled silently, and after a while, she said, "Gongzi Cheng can afford these dishes of the old woman, please feel free to eat them." The taste of the old woman's cooking is biased towards Huaiyang cuisine, light and sweet, and the son is from Jiangnan, so he should be used to eating. ”

Xiao Hei in the cage on the side suddenly let out a string of chirps, and then shouted, "Add some condiments!"

When the four of them heard this, they all laughed. Granny Shi chirped: "Little beast, your taste is quite big!"

*

A few people were eating when they heard a dog barking outside the door. Shopkeeper Li got up and went out, came back after a while, and said to Li Longyan: "There are people from the Feixue Gang looking for you." ”

Li Longyan ran out to take a look, and saw four Feixue Gang disciples standing at the door of the flower shop, Li Longyan stepped forward and said, "Are the eldest brothers here to find me?"

The four people led the way and said, "Are you Li Longyan's son? ”

Li Longyan showed the bronze medal again, and when the leader saw it, he arched his hand and said with a smile: "Gongzi Li, we came to find Gongzi by the order of the Sun Gang Master." Now that we know you're here, we're relieved. When are you going back?"

Li Longyan was very embarrassed, he came out to play by himself, ate outside, and didn't say a word to his parents, so tired that the Feixue Gang came to look for him again, but it was too troublesome. Busy: "A few big brothers work hard, I'll eat here, and I'll go back after eating." ”

The leader smiled slightly and said, "Okay." In this case, we will go back and have an explanation with Gang Master Sun. Li Gongzi, let me say one more thing, you are not familiar with life here, and when you come out to play in the future, it is best to say hello to your parents, so as not to worry about the two of you. ”

Li Longyan said: "Yes, yes, it's really sad to trouble a few big brothers." ”

Several gangsters waved their hands, got on their horses and left.

When Li Longyan returned to the house, Xiaofei asked, "Is it your father and mother who are looking for you?"

Li Longyan said: "Yes." I'm really embarrassed to let the Flying Snow Gang run again. ”

Xiaofei said with a smile: "We left you for dinner, it was to delay you later, and it is normal for your parents to be worried." ”

Li Longyan sighed and said, "They are responsible for me meeting bad people." A few days ago, there was a tragedy in this town, and there may be a very terrible person in our Baili Town. ”

Granny Shi took a sip of the soup slowly and said, "Are they worried that this terrible person will hurt you?"

Li Longyan was taken aback and hurriedly said, "No, no...... This, it's okay with me, it's okay!"

Granny Shi smiled slightly, and blew on the soup bowl in front of her mouth, and the heat rising from the bowl hid her face in the mist.
