CHAPTER XXXIV

"Rice?" Ning Xiao said with some surprise.

That's right, Shen Mingyue entered the house with a smile, and when she heard him say that she wanted to taste some side dishes, she took great pains to make it, but it was just a small pot of ordinary rice at first glance. The feeling of being full of anticipation and finally discovering that it is nothing more than this makes my chest feel a little stuffy like a punch with all my strength.

"Hee-hee, Childe, this dish of mine is not just ordinary rice!" Miss Mingyue saw enough of Ning Xiao's surprised affection, and then smiled to herself and said.

"Oh?" Hearing Shen Mingyue's words, Ning Xiao also became a little interested. He stretched out his finger and tapped on the side wall of the clay basin, and the sound was solid, not like there was something else underneath. That's right, otherwise, just based on Shen Mingyue's appearance just now, if the voice was different, she would definitely go back to tapping, right? Ning Xiao lowered her body again, leaned on the clay pot, took a deep breath, and her nose was full of the fragrance of rice. Ning Xiao sat up straight and scratched his head, he really couldn't think of any reputation for this rice, so he simply didn't want to, and asked Shen Mingyue: "Forgive me for my shallow knowledge, I really can't see what kind of guanzi you are selling, girl~"

Ning Xiao's words of surrender made Shen Mingyue smile even sweeter. I saw her take out a small bottle from her arms and say, "Didn't Childe notice that the rice grains of this rice are a little smaller and more shiny than the ordinary rice grains?"

Ning Xiao originally saw Shen Mingyue put her hand into her arms, and hurriedly closed her eyes and didn't look at her. After listening to what Shen Mingyue said, he opened his eyes and carefully looked at the rice grains in the tile pot. I heard him wonder: "No, this is an ordinary grain of rice......"

When Shen Mingyue heard this, she was slightly stunned, and then suddenly realized: "Also, with the identity of the son, this pearl rice in Zhige Town is just a daily meal~" Shen Mingyue's words made Ning Xiao stunned for a moment, this Shen Mingyue was confined to the Jingu Building in Northern Xinjiang, why did she know that she was from Zhige Town? I just wanted to ask, but I was distracted by Shen Mingyue's words later.

What did you say Shen Mingyue said?"This small dish of the slave family, but it is sweet and fragrant when you need rice to eat!" Shen Mingyue said that Bao Chaoning smiled and shook the jade-colored vial in her hand, was it the thing she came out of her arms just now? Without waiting for Ning Xiaoxiao to ask, Shen Mingyue opened the cork of the vial, only to hear the sound of "pop", and as the cork left the bottle, the air was filled with a strange fragrance. I saw Shen Mingyue turn the mouth of the bottle upside down and pour the contents of the bottle onto the so-called pearl rice that had just been taken out of the center of the crockpot.

I saw a bright yellow liquid flow out first, but it didn't flow much, and then it was a bright yellow paste. With the appearance of the paste-like object, the inexplicable strange fragrance in the air became even stronger, but Ning Xiao did not feel pungent.

Shen Mingyue stirred the paste and rice evenly, and then brought her hands to Ning Xiao's seat. Ning Xiao was originally smelling the sweet fragrance in the air, and was already a little eager to try. At this moment, Shen Mingyue sent the rice to him, and he didn't say much, took the spoon from Shen Mingyue's hand, and scooped out a spoonful of rice from the bowl.

Ning Xiao first put the spoon in front of her eyes and took a closer look. I saw that the rice grains, which were already slightly round, were evenly wrapped in a layer of yellow ointment, and under the background of the indoor lights, there was a slight layer of bright light, which was round and jade, so unpleasant. Shen Mingyue stirred carefully and evenly with force, so every grain of rice was coated with a layer of this yellow ointment, the size was the same, Ning Xiao had the feeling in his mind that he felt as if he had a spoonful of small pearls, and he was reluctant to eat it.

He shook his head and shook the strange thought out of his head, swallowing the spoonful of rice in his mouth. As soon as Mi Li touched his tongue, he saw Ning Xiao's eyes condensed slightly, and his pupils narrowed slightly, and the young man only felt that his taste buds seemed to explode. The strange taste contained in the rice bloomed on the tongue, and an indescribable taste overflowed Ning Xiao's entire mouth. Ning Xiao silently chewed and swallowed the contents of his mouth, and then did not speak. Seeing this, Shen Mingyue didn't urge Ning Xiao to comment, and seemed to have a good idea of her own dishes.

After a long time, when the taste in his mouth completely dissipated, Ning Xiao sighed slightly, "It's really a delicacy!" Hearing Ning Xiao's admiration, Shen Mingyue smiled like a flower, "It's good if the son likes it!"

After tasting the food, Ning Xiao asked curiously, "I don't know what this ointment that was added to the rice later, what it is?"

Shen Mingyue replied: "This thing is called bald butter, as for what it is made of......

"If Miss Mingyue is inconvenient to answer, then it is better when I haven't asked. Ning Xiao saw Shen Mingyue pondering for a moment, thinking that this was a secret thing made by others, and it was really rude for him to venture into it like this, so he hurriedly said.

Shen Mingyue shook her head, "It's not that the slave family doesn't want to tell you, it's just that I'm afraid that the son will find out about it...... Will your appetite be greatly reduced, and blame the slaves......"

Ning Xiao listened to Shen Mingyue's words, and became even more curious, "Will I lose my appetite when I hear it?" This makes me even more curious!"

Shen Mingyue saw that Ning Xiao was determined to know, so she said: "The word 'bald' in this bald butter is the meaning of 'all' in the dialect of the slave family's hometown, and the word 'butter' is the meaning of crab roe. ”

Ning Xiao was a little puzzled when she heard this, "What do you mean by thank you?"

"It's just a ...... made by steaming the crabs in the river and stir-frying their meat," Shen Mingyue said, peeking at Ning Xiao's face over and over again, for fear that he would be furious.

However, Ning Xiao showed a look of sudden realization. The crab has two claws and eight legs, the shape is fierce, and it will hurt people, and it is regarded as a bad thing by people. The taste of this crab must be terrible! When idlers don't say anything about eating, they will be afraid when they mention crabs, for fear that this crab grandfather will crawl to his house in the middle of the night and kill himself while he is asleep. But who is Ning Xiao? Ning Xiao is the leader of the street children in Zhige Town! How can a street child who has eaten the last meal and not the next meal have any scruples about the insects that catch people? These bold guys have already tasted the delicacy of crabs, and they have relied on crabs to satisfy their hunger several times in the autumn when the people in the town do not know the taste of crabs!

Ning Xiao carefully recalled the taste of the rice just now, isn't that strange sweetness the taste of crabs?" "Miss Mingyue is too worried, I was a wanderer in my early years, how can I care about this? As long as I can eat it, not to mention that it is still so delicious! I have eaten crabs for so many years, but I didn't expect crabs to do this! Miss Mingyue is really whimsical!" Ning Xiao praised herself proudly, and praised Shen Mingyue again.

Shen Mingyue saw Ning Xiao's face as usual, and even praised herself, knowing that what he said was from his heart, not sarcastic that he was hungry. So I laughed brightly. When she first figured out this dish, she was preached by the bustard, for fear that the guests would know about it and ruin her interest. Glancing at the Qingping sword that Ning Xiao placed beside him, and thinking about the early experience of the son in front of him, Shen Mingyue had a bottom in her heart, opened her lips lightly, and was just about to speak, but who knew that a human voice came from outside the window!
