The two took the kitchen utensils and returned to Liu Xiaolu's house. Liu Xingyu put down his things and said goodbye. Seeing this, Xiaolu hurriedly said: "Brother Liu, don't leave in a hurry. Let's stay and have something to eat together."

"I'm not hungry." Liu Xingyu raised his feet and walked out the door.

"Oh." Xiaolu nodded and stopped trying to persuade him. Unexpectedly, before Liu Xingyu's legs crossed the threshold, his stomach made a loud gurgling sound like a drum.

"Well......"

...

The atmosphere became awkward for a moment. The two of them were stunned for a long time. Xiaolu blinked and quickly responded, "Well, senior brother, why don't you stay and help me cook together? Xiaolu is very hungry."

"Okay then." Liu Xingyu's face turned a little red, and it was hard to refuse at this point. In addition, since he hadn't eaten a grain of rice all day, he was indeed a little hungry.

Xiaolu first took out the pots and pans covered with a thin layer of ash and washed them, then washed the onions and ginger and put them aside. Finally, he took out the rice he had begged from Brother Zhang and sifted it twice.

.

Liu Xingyu looked at the little girl, who was only a little taller than the stove, busy there, and he felt a little trance unknowingly.

I remember that back then, I joined the Kongwu Sect when I was about the same age, and I watched my sister busy in front of the stove like this. But now the Kongwu Sect is still the original Kongwu Sect, but he is already alone.

"Senior Brother Liu, Senior Brother Liu?"

A clear girl's voice brought Liu Xingyu's thoughts back to reality, "What's wrong? Do you need my help?"

Xiaolu rolled up his sleeves and looked up at Liu Xingyu who was distracted. This guy had been distracted and didn't know what he was thinking about since just now. He called for a long time and didn't respond.

"Senior Brother Liu, did you forget to pick up the knife?" Xiao Lu pouted and seemed a little dissatisfied.

Liu Xingyu's expression paused for a moment. He was only focused on getting the pots and pans and forgot about the knives. He thought that these new disciples must not have these things.

"I didn't expect it just now, I'll go back and get it."

"It's too troublesome to go back and forth." Xiaolu rolled his eyes and looked at the long sword on Liu Xingyu's back, "Why don't we use this instead."

"This... isn't very suitable." Liu Xingyu frowned and seemed to be hesitant. I wonder if he also felt that it was a waste of time to go back to get a kitchen knife. Finally, he took out a dagger from his arms and handed it to

Xiaolu said, "Let's use this one."

Xiao Lu took the dagger and found that the dagger, which was only seven or eight inches long, was much heavier than expected. It weighed about four or five kilograms in his hand. He saw two words engraved on the hollow carved handle of the dagger.

——"Xinglan", the blade is wrapped in a delicate pouch made of leather from an unknown animal. The leather pouch has a clear texture and is slightly grainy to the touch. The leather case alone seems to be worth a lot.

Fei Xiaolu took out the dagger from the knife bag with gleaming eyes. The streamlined blade of the dagger was actually black and covered with strange lines, with a shallow groove on each side.

"What a beautiful dagger!" Xiaolu couldn't help but exclaimed. This dagger was more beautiful than any of her senior brothers' weapons she had ever seen. "This... must be very expensive, right?"

Liu Xingyu was slightly stunned, thinking that the junior sister in front of him wanted to buy a dagger of the same style, so he said, "This is made by my father. It has a price but no market."

"Uh..." Xiaolu knew that Liu Xingyu had misunderstood, but he didn't explain much. He just secretly complained in his heart that although this dagger is a rare treasure, Senior Brother Liu is a big man, and his father

Why did you get him a fancy little dagger? Could it be that he didn’t have enough money to buy the materials for a long sword, so he could only make a small dagger?

Xiaolu struggled to use the dagger to cut the green onions into slices, and cut the ginger into slices. Liu Xingyu looked on and couldn't help but worry, "Junior sister, why don't you let me cut it for you? This dagger is special."

It's ordinary, it's as sharp as iron, and... it would be a bit troublesome if you accidentally get hurt."

"No, no, no." Xiaolu turned around and pushed Liu Xingyu to the table at the other end of the room to sit down, "Senior Brother Liu, can you cook? No? Then just wait here honestly, and you'll be fine in a while. Oh.

By the way, there are some fruits on the table. If you are hungry, you can eat some first."

Liu Xingyu opened his mouth and felt helpless, but he sat down obediently and said no more words.

The deer fished out the big crab from the water tank again, turned it over, and planned to cut it into two pieces at the navel, but when he stabbed the crab shell with his dagger, there was a sound of gold and iron.

"Huh?" Xiaolu let out a light sigh and thought to himself, isn't it said that this dagger can cut iron as well as clay? They say it is so powerful, but in fact it is just an ordinary dagger that looks good.

The deer slowly inserted the dagger into the belly of the crab, and then slowly opened the crab shell upwards. With a hissing sound like breaking leather, the deer finally split the crab into two. The deer let out a sigh of relief,

He put the dagger aside, wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, and planned to clean up the broken crab carefully.

At this moment, a round bead with some yellow crab roe rolled out from the crab carcass that was split in two.

What is this? I have only heard that giant clams produce beads, do big crabs also produce beads???

The little deer picked up the bead with some curiosity and wiped it with his sleeve. It was a round bean the size of a broad bean, all aqua blue, with some white patterns on the surface. It felt cool to the touch and seemed to have nothing special about it.

at.

The little deer thought for a while and put the beads into his arms. They said pearls produced by big clams are valuable. I don't know if the pearls produced by a big crab like me are valuable. I will ask my mother-in-law when I get home.

Xiaolu quickly cleaned up the crabs, raised the fire, boiled the water, and then put the rice and crabs into the pot. After working for about half an hour, he finally cooked the crab porridge.

"Senior Brother Liu, come and try the crab porridge I made." Xiao Lu filled two bowls of porridge and brought them to the table.

"Is this really edible?" Liu Xingyu put down the fruit in his hand and asked with a slight hesitation.

"Of course. Senior brother, despite my young age, my mother and father go to work in the fields, while my sister and I cook at home." Xiao Lu assured, patting his chest.

Liu Xingyu's eyes swept over the porridge bowl, thinking: Although it doesn't look very good, the porridge still smells very fragrant. She said that she often cooks at home, so there should be no problem.

Finally, Liu Xingyu picked up the bowl, took a spoonful of porridge and put it into his mouth.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" the deer asked hurriedly.

"A bit salty." Liu Xingyu frowned.

"Oh..." Xiao Lu immediately lowered her head dejectedly. It is true that she often cooks at home on weekdays, but most of the time she just helps her sister, not to mention she has no cooking skills.

"But it's delicious." Liu Xingyu looked at Xiaolu's shocked expression with some humor.

"Really?! Then, senior brother, please eat quickly and eat more!" Xiaolu was still a little girl at heart after all, so her expression immediately changed and she became excited.

Liu Xingyu was a young man who had just grown up. He hadn't eaten for another day, and the bottom of the bowl of porridge was gone in a short time. When Liu Xingyu put down the bowl, he found that Xiaolu hadn't started to move the chopsticks yet, so he urged, "Junior sister, you

Eat it yourself."

"Oh, okay." Xiaolu then picked up the spoon and started to eat the porridge. After one bite, the crab meat melted in his mouth. The rice porridge absorbed the umami flavor of the crab and was extremely refreshing. This was simply better than anything Xiaolu had eaten before.

They are all delicious. My aunt had a meal of Dongpo pork elbow before. Xiaolu thought it was the most delicious thing in the world, but it was not as good as this porridge.
