Chapter 36 Gentleman's Kindness
I glanced at Xu Qianxue, but saw that her eyes were as bright as water, shining brightly, and at this night, she was as shining as a star in the night sky, which was really exciting. She wanted to cook me a few side dishes to eat, and I was about to agree, but I felt a cold sword piercing me to the bone, saying that eyes can kill people, offending Xiao Hanyi, which is very bad.
"Ahem," I coughed lightly, "and there are a lot of big things going on tonight, and it's scary to think about it." If Xiao Gongzi also joins us, let's discuss and discuss together. ”
"The beauty invites, and you should obey your fate. Xiao Hanyi seemed to think that I didn't say this, but Xu Qianxue said it, so he made a gesture towards her, and it was probably nothing more than that.
Cher smiled and didn't seem to mind. After she recovered from her injury, I realized that she actually loved to laugh, and she was very good when she smiled. Because of her arrival, the men in the Mojia Organ City were crazy, vying to come to see the beauty's peerless demeanor. Sure enough, my fair lady and gentleman are good, and the ancients did not deceive me.
The night is like water, flowing quietly. It didn't take long for Xu Xue'er to bring out a few side dishes. There were two side dishes and a soup, and I only saw that the colors were bright and beautiful, and I couldn't help but move my index finger. was about to pick up chopsticks to eat, but he only heard Xiao Hanyi shouting: "Don't move!"
I looked at him in surprise, but saw that Xiao Hanyi seemed to have lost his soul, and looked at the dishes in front of him, but there was a "tsk" sound, as if what was in front of me was not a few small dishes, but Chang'e's jade rabbit meat in the Moon Palace.
"This side dish is made of pine nuts, bamboo fungus and sour plum, which is bound to be sour and crisp at first, but with pine nuts, the aftertaste is more fragrant in the mountains and fields. The best thing is that it is paired with sour plum, the frost is clear, but it also combines the common flavor of the three side dishes, which is really wonderful!
"Xiao Gongzi is really well-read, he can identify the ingredients and their taste at a glance, this dish has not yet had a name, so please ask Xiao Gongzi to give it a name?"
Xiao Hanyi looked at the sky for a while, looked at the ground for a while, and muttered: "This is a three-flavor ingredient, and we are three people, I think it is better to call it 'Suihan Sanyou'!"
"Wonderful, wonderful, then call it the three friends of the cold year!" Xu Qianxue applauded and laughed.
"Miss Cher, what is this other dish?"
Xiao Gongzi smiled, this dish uses two ingredients, one is ham, and the other is a food invented by Liu An, the king of Huainan in the dynasty, called tofu. My method is: first cut a ham, dig 24 round holes, cut the tofu into 24 small balls and put them into the holes, tie the ham and then steam, and wait until it is steamed, the umami of the ham has been all into the tofu, and the ham is discarded and not eaten. ”
"Wonderful, this is even better! I don't know how to name it?"
"Please also ask Xiao Gongzi to give him a name. ”
"When the moon is in the sky, Hanyi thinks of the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, small bridges and flowing water. Why don't you call this dish 'Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlit Night'?"
Xiao Gongzi is very knowledgeable, and even the names of the dishes are so poetic. ”
When they sang and harmonized, they were talking about cultural people, and I was a rough person, so I didn't know a lot. But he was still grunting with hunger.
But he saw that Xiao Hanyi began to taste another soup again, he picked up a spoon and scooped two cherries, and said with a smile: "This bowl of lotus leaf bamboo shoots and cherry soup is so good-looking, I am a little reluctant to eat it." ”
"Childe, please, but it's okay to eat. Xu Qianxue stretched out her palm.
Xiao Hanyi ate one and identified the taste in his mouth, called out "ah", and said strangely: "Huh?" and ate two more, and it was an "ah" sound. Shen said: "What is embedded in this cherry?" closed his eyes, slowly discerned the taste in his mouth, and muttered: "It's finch meat! It's not a partridge, it's a turtle dove, yes, it's a turtle dove!" When he opened his eyes, he saw that Xu Qianxue was giving a thumbs up.
"Among the cherries, the clarity of lotus leaves, the freshness of bamboo shoots, and the sweetness of cherries, it is needless to say, but it is embedded with turtledove meat and some petals. Miss Xu really took great pains!"
Xu Qianxue said: "That's right, the name of this soup is already there, just think about it from these five ingredients." ”
"But I can't guess it. Xiao Hanyi pondered for a long time.
Xu Qianxue said: "Let me mention you, just think about it from the Book of Songs." ”
Xiao Hanyi said: "This is like a flower, a small cherry mouth, it is a beauty, is it called 'beauty soup', yes or no?"
Xu Qianxue shook her head and said: "Zhu Xie is a gentleman. The lotus flower is the gentleman among the flowers. Therefore, this bamboo shoot and lotus leaf are talking about a gentleman. ”
"Oh, it turned out to be a beautiful gentleman's soup. ”
Xu Qianxue still shook her head and said with a smile: "What about this turtledove? The first article of the "Book of Songs" is: 'Guan Guan Ju dove, in the river island, fair lady, gentleman is good', this soup is called 'good soup'. ”
"Good name, really good name!" Xiao Hanyi clapped his hands and praised. He took a long look, "Thank you girl for letting me eat such a good food, it is really a miracle in the world, and my whimsical hands have opened the eyes of ordinary people such as me." ”
"Xiao Gongzi won the award. Xu Qianxue picked up the soup bowl and filled a bowl for me, "After saying this a lot of boring, Brother Duan must be hungry, eat it quickly and see if it tastes good." ”
I waited for her words, picked up the soup bowl and drank it all, but I felt that the taste was wonderful, I had never drunk such a delicious soup in my old age.
"What a delicious bowl of 'good soup'!" I wiped my mouth and laughed.
※※※
The rest of the days were calm, and the city was heavily guarded, so there was no need to worry too much about Zhang Rang killing him. Xiao Hanyi took Xu Xueer and me around for a tour in his spare time. After hundreds of years of operation, the internal structure of the Mojia Organ City is beyond the imagination of outsiders, the entire city is a big institution, and the inside is also full of organs, no wonder it is as solid as gold.
There are four organs in the city to guard the most important position, the divine beast white tiger guards the main gate of the city, the green dragon guards the mountain, the vermilion bird guards the sky, and the Xuanwu guards the center of the spring of the city; each of these four divine beasts can be produced after ten years, which is comparable to a master of the King Kong realm.
After the discussion of the Mo family, it is believed that among the four major guards, the center of the spring is the key, although there is a mechanism divine beast Xuanwu guard, but it is difficult to guarantee that the enemy will think of other ways to deal with the center of the spring, such as poisoning, most of the four sides of the organ city are surrounded by water, once poisoned, then the consequences will be unimaginable, so it is necessary to take care of the center of the spring, and this task finally fell to Xiao Hanyi.
He is smart, martial arts and strong, and he is the best choice. As for the city defense of the organ city, it naturally has to be strengthened, according to the report of the Mo family's disciples, Zhang Rang is already mobilizing the army, planning to use the tactics of the sea of people to break into the periphery of the organ city, if ten thousand people come to break in, then no matter how powerful the organ is, it will not be able to defend it.
After a few more days, Zhang Rang really mobilized enough manpower and sent four "Fire Dragon" siege vehicles to storm the city. I stood at the head of the city and saw that the four fire dragons were more than ten zhang high, with fire spewing out of their mouths, and they were advancing heavily under the cover of the soldiers. Now there are not many institutions left in the periphery, so Juzi decided to transfer all the manpower to the city, so that although it will become a situation of trapped beast fighting, but the Mo family's hundreds of years of foundation in the city is not idle to break.
Master Xiao is rare these days, but I heard Xiao Hanyi say that if Zhang Rang came in person, then there would definitely be a battle with Master Xiao, and Master Xiao must go all out to study the mysteries of martial arts, and there can be no negligence.
I went to the back mountain to study the sword technique these days, and since I entered the King Kong realm, I feel that every day I have an inexhaustible strength, and I can slash away in the woods with a knife, and I can also sweep up a mile of thunder. On this day, I was practicing knives, but I saw Xiao Hanyi coming to me and saying, "Brother Duan, something is wrong, the female shopkeeper is here." ”
"Which female shopkeeper?"
"It's the one that hooks the parting. ”
I was startled, and I didn't know why this woman was coming. Curious for a moment, he went to watch with Xiao Hanyi. Sure enough, under the city wall, the female shopkeeper was dressed in red, with a proud expression, and said: "Listen to the disciples of the Mo family, please inform your family that the deceased Sun Erniang came to visit." ”
Xiao Hanyi and I looked at each other, and saw that the proprietress was only in her forties, and she was an old friend with the Mo family?
