In the end, Jiang Xingchen resorted to the home-cooking method. Everyone came and stared at each other, and he had no time to think about anything else.
Not only that, when he got busy with work, he even forgot about the mustard shreds on the stove that he prepared to use to conceal Zhao Danqing. He stayed on the small stove and ignored the cold pot fish that he was about to throw away. Moreover, he didn't pay attention to it.
The door of the small stove that was suppressed by the fire was opened a crack, and the fire inside was a little brighter...
By the time he finished his work, the sky had darkened. Finally, he filled a large plate of fish and placed the white flour cakes he bought around the plate, half of which was immersed in the soup.
A group of people in the room had already sat around the table. When Jiang Xingchen put the plates on the table, each of them moved their chopsticks like the wind. The speed was so fast that Jiang Xingchen and Meier felt a little dazzled. Even Wan Wan
Rou didn't even bother to speak.
What's even more exaggerated is that the second brother and Zhao Danqing were actually stuck by fish bones several times.
"Brother... I'm not telling you, such a delicious fish needs at least a big pancake, so what's the point of putting white flour pancakes in it!" The second brother said vaguely while eating the fish.
But then, he couldn't continue talking. Seeing Sun Sanqiang and Meier eating the white flour cakes with relish, he realized that something was wrong.
He quickly grabbed one and put the part dipped in vegetable soup into his mouth.
"Yeah! It's delicious!" The second brother raised his eyebrows and immediately took another bite. Not only was the white flour cake soaked in fish soup not dry at all, but the taste of the boiled fish was even richer.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the plate of fish and white flour cakes was completely eaten, and Jiang Xingchen didn't even take a bite. Meier also puffed up her cheeks. She just tried to leave two pieces for her brother but failed.
"Jiang Xingchen, if you really have you, you can think of ways to dig holes in the ice to fish!" Mo Hongxian sighed.
"Finally, I don't call me little brother anymore!" Jiang Xingchen was very pleased and explained: "In winter, fish usually have a hard time and they don't like to eat! That's right now, it won't work if it gets colder, when it's three feet frozen.
, can’t even dig holes in the ice!”
"That's not bad. If you catch more fish before you leave, the cold weather won't hurt you. Later, you can teach the two major restaurants the secret recipe of this dish!" Mo Hongxian said.
Jiang Xingchen frowned and asked, "Why, is someone coming to buy the secret recipe so soon?"
Mo Hongxian waved his hand and said: "There is just such a sign, so we have already prepared for it..."
"Oh!" Jiang Xingchen nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself: "If the other party buys with such a high frequency, I'm afraid my little money is not enough for them to pay for it!"
"Brother! You have cooked a big pot. Hurry up and serve it again. There is not enough food!" Zhao Danqing spoke again, with the same words, leaving Jiang Xingchen speechless for a while.
But seeing a group of people nodding along, he could only smile bitterly, pick up the plate and return to the kitchen...
When Jiang Xingchen turned around and went out, the little old man who appeared at noon appeared in the kitchen again.
"It's such a rich flavor. Chuxue girl really didn't lie to me. This guy has a lot of skills! Look what he did..."
The little old man walked to the stove and looked into the pot. His little eyes suddenly widened: "Fish! This guy actually cooks fish in winter. How did he get it?"
Surprised, the little old man took out a pair of chopsticks from his arms, picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth.
"Not bad! Really good! Good craftsmanship, even better than the chefs in the palace... Let's see what else he has done?" The little old man had a look of enjoyment on his face. He glanced around and saw the mustard dish on the stove.
Silk.
"What is this!" The little old man moved forward, raised his nose and smelled: "There is a refreshing smell, but there is vinegar, which covers the smell. Well... there is also a bit of pungent smell, it should be seasoning.
Taste it..."
He picked up a large chopstick, put it into his mouth, and chewed it twice.
"Refreshing..." Before the old man could taste it, an extremely refreshing feeling hit him like a mountain.
"Woo~" A sound similar to the meowing of a cat in March or April came out from his throat. He felt as if someone had stabbed a stick into his nostrils and penetrated his brain. His five senses and seven orifices opened instantly, his vision blurred immediately, and tears rushed out. He couldn't stand it at all.
Can't control it.
"What is this special girl..." The little old man didn't have time to think about it. This feeling was too exciting. He turned his face and saw the jar on the small stove. Without thinking, he reached out and grabbed it, raised his neck and poured it into his mouth.
"Hmm~" In an instant, the little old man's eyes widened, as if he had sat on a nail, and he couldn't help but let out a shrill howl.
But at this moment, the sound of Jiang Xingchen's door opening reached his ears. The little old man resisted the intense stimulation, suppressed the miserable howl that was about to burst out, and quickly put the jar back into the small stove, whoosh
He hid in a dark corner inside.
When he hid in the corner, he felt something was squeezed to the side, but it was too late to look at it now.
He was so violently stimulated that he couldn't even scream out. He was so suffocated that he dug his fingers into the wall and scratched the wall off: "It's so damn sinister. There's actually no water in the jar... It's hot and numb. It feels like
It’s Sichuan peppercorns. My mouth is so numb that I can’t feel it..."
"Squeak!" The kitchen door opened, and Jiang Xingchen came to the stove. While serving fish, he said to himself: "These guys are too good to eat. It seems that there is not a single bit left of these four fish...
Huh!"
Halfway through speaking, Jiang Xingchen seemed to hear some movement and looked back.
"Nothing, did I hear it correctly?" Jiang Xingchen shook his head in confusion, turned back and continued: "I have to leave some for the three people in the utility room later... No, I have to leave some for myself.
, otherwise I won’t be able to eat it…”
While talking, another plate was put on the plate, and Jiang Xingchen stepped out.
"That's right!" After taking two steps, Jiang Xingchen stopped, turned around and returned to the stove, put down the plate containing the fish, and reached out to take out the shredded mustard greens.
"Big Eater, I forgot just now, there is this... Hehe, you kid can't get enough!"
Amidst the dark laughter, Jiang Xingchen saw the jar of cold pot fish again, and then remembered that it had not been poured out yet, so he put down the mustard shreds, picked up the jar, walked to the corner of the kitchen, and poured it down.
"Ouch!" The little old man couldn't hold it back this time. With his level of cultivation, no matter how high the temperature was, it couldn't hurt him. The key was the pain!
At this time, he was so depressed that his heart was going to explode. He hid somewhere, and it turned out to be a place where people dumped garbage... What was next to him, a wooden barrel! Damn it, it was a garbage barrel. Why did you make it so clean?
There is no smell at all...Moreover, couldn't you pour the brew on time...It seems that I just squeezed the barrel open...
"Whoosh!" The little old man jumped out, his movements were like lightning, covering his face with one hand, and cutting towards Jiang Xingchen's neck with the other hand.
He sneaked in secretly because Tang Chuxue said that this boy was too evil in cooking. He was afraid of being deceived by that girl, so he came to have a taste. If it was good, then he would stay and let this boy provide for her.
!If it's not good, he won't serve as a guard for a third-class baron. I don't care if you are a talent. My ancestor, I can't afford to disgrace this person!
But who would have thought that eating secretly this time would lead to such a big sin! He had never experienced such excitement in his life. Especially in his mouth, it was completely numb, and there was no other feeling except the smell of pepper!
Although his cultivation level is high, he can't practice it in his mouth. He can't bite the iron while chewing it.
At this time, he was exposed, and he couldn't care much anymore. He couldn't be seen by this kid. Chuxue girl would definitely ask this guy in the future, and what happened tonight would definitely be exposed. Even if he didn't serve as a guard for this guy, tonight's incident would definitely be exposed.
The experience will spread throughout the imperial capital, and there will be no place for his old face. Not to mention that after eating the Taoist braised silver carp, he has confirmed Jiang Xingchen's cooking skills and doesn't want to leave!
Therefore, the most important thing right now is not to let Jiang Xingchen see him. The best way is to knock him out as soon as possible, run away, and then come back pretending as if nothing happened.
There was a sudden scream, and Jiang Xingchen, who was unprepared, was so frightened that he threw the jar in his hand.
But with just this throw, the jar flew towards the little old man, and the sensitive array started to operate automatically at almost the same moment.
Although the little old man was fast and it took less than a tenth of a second to dodge the jar, Jiang Xingchen's body had automatically staggered half a step before his brain could react.
"Eh?" The little old man was surprised. He was a master at the sixth level of the Yuan Qi Realm. He was ranked among the top three in the entire empire. Although he was afraid of hurting Jiang Xingchen, he only used three points of his strength, but he took action by surprise.
Even the masters in the Qi realm couldn't avoid it, but this kid actually dodged it.
"Didn't Miss Chuxue say that he can't practice? Why..." He was slightly stunned for a moment, and Jiang Xingchen finally reacted. He knew that the formation was moving in an instant, and strong wave aura spurted out from his dantian, and his vocal cords vibrated strongly.
"Come here, catch the thief!"
"Ouch! Why is this kid so loud!" The little old man felt his ears buzzing and his pursuit slowed down a bit. Jiang Xingchen subconsciously took two steps back.
The scene fell silent for an instant, and the two stood face to face. Only then did Jiang Xingchen clearly see the little old man opposite him.
However, the little old man was extremely funny at this moment. There were tears on his face, his mouth was slightly open, his lips were red and swollen, as if two sausages were hanging on them, and there was a trace of drool dripping from the corner of his mouth, which he didn't even know he had.
It was soaked with pepper oil, my face was red with heat, and there were a lot of fish fillets on my body!
However, he didn't smile at all at the moment. The other party was definitely a master, and he had known for a long time that people from the enemy country would find him sooner or later, so he couldn't help but feel extremely nervous. If he hadn't been mentally strong, he might have been at a loss.
The little old man was also a little confused. His face was seen by this kid, so running away would definitely be impossible! But what to do now? If he directly explained his purpose, wouldn't he be holding the hand of him? How could he cheat on food and drink in the future, and let this kid provide for it! No!
If you say that, someone will come to catch the thief immediately. If he is exposed, the problem will be even bigger!
After weighing the left and right, the little old man gritted his teeth, reached out and took out a piece of white silk and threw it over: "Boy, at this time, Tang Chuxue's letter, please don't tell anyone about what happened tonight. I will come back to you tomorrow!"
Without waiting for Jiang Xingchen to answer, the little old man swooped out and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
