Douluo Continent on the tip of the tongue

Chapter 443 Peony Fish Fillet

"Squeak~"

Touching the door that had been soaked for a long time and still had a bit of moisture, the young man's eyes were blank.

He slowly pushed the door open, and walked into the house that had been submerged in mud and sand, and he could vaguely see what it used to be like.

"Peony..." Qin Shi smiled wryly, "The flood has receded."

In the empty room, no one responded to his words.

And he didn't care, just continued talking on his own.

"Everyone in the village is back, everyone is grateful for you, and no one will talk about those gossips."

"In this village, I only miss you. Now that you are gone, I should leave too."

"I've also saved some money for travel expenses over the years, so I can make a living even if I leave here."

"Tick, tick."

Shangweifu came to see it in person, and I was amazed to see it. After tasting it, I was full of praise.

"Peony, I know you never eat fish, I cook with fish, I'm afraid you won't be very happy."

While talking, Qin Shi slowly searched in Mudan's house, and soon he found a small box covered by sand.

"At that time you said, there is a box. I came here this time just to bring this box on the road, and I took you with me. You have stayed in this small village all your life, so you should go out and have a look."

On the day when he left the peony grave, Qin Shi personally served the peony fish fillet that he had cooked to perfection, holding the old but still well-preserved box in his arms, and stood in front of the tomb for a long time.

"Thank you very much then."

"Okay, what do you want to engrave?"

"But I still want to leave a dish named after you to the world, so that everyone will remember you."

"Goodbye, Peony."

He is very familiar with this handwriting, because he taught the girl to write every word in it.

"Let's go to the capital first, and then...you can come back to Sichuan Province with me, okay?"

Actually, I always knew you were interested in me.

After a long time, he picked up the key and carefully opened the lock in the box.

It is said that when people leave this world, they will turn into souls and enter the underworld for reincarnation. I don’t know if I can see you marrying a wife before I reincarnate..."

There is a famous dish in Peony Building, called peony fish fillet, which is shaped like a peony and uses fish as petals. It is lifelike, elegant and unique. emperor.

So in the past few years, I have rejected all the people who come to the door to talk about matchmaking, thinking about when you will be able to marry me.

"Just 'The Tomb of Peony'."

"This dish is called peony fish fillet."

Seeing him returning to Sichuan province with a suitcase in his arms, he became the leader of the Sichuan kitchen for a short time.

Holding the box in his arms and stepping on the shaft of the car, Qin Shi turned his head for the last time, looked at the village where he had lived with Mudan for three years, and seemed to see the girl in the light blue short jacket and plain white pleated skirt in a daze, Waving to himself with a smile.

The box was locked, and the key was tied next to the lock, and it was not lost.

Qin Shi's hands trembled. He gently opened the rice paper and looked at the delicate handwriting on it.

I know that you stayed in this small village because of me. If I'm not here, you probably have to leave too, right?

"I'm sorry, Mudan, I lied to you. In fact, people in Sichuan... also eat fish."

"Master, help me carve a tombstone..."

You like cooking so much, you shouldn't have stayed in this small place. I heard that the most powerful chef in the world is the imperial chef, who cooks dishes for the emperor. The dishes made by Qin Shi are so delicious. You can definitely become an imperial chef!
I don't know what kind of person Qin Shi's wife will be in the future. She should be a lady of every family, and she has to be better looking than me.

In the box, lay a piece of folded rice paper quietly. The material of the rice paper is so good that it can only be bought with a lot of money in the most prosperous market town nearby.

The box was tightly sealed, not only was it not washed away in the flood, but even the water never entered the inside.

"Don't worry, this time I won't go by water or go to Suzhou and Hangzhou, so I won't meet Jiang Pirates again..."

However, Qin Shi didn't really want to know what was in the box at the moment. To him, the box was more like a thought.

"Qin Shi, when you read this letter, I probably won't be here anymore.

Six years later, he returned to his white body, left the capital with gold and silver, and returned to his old residence by the Dongting Lake.

"But Sichuan Province...may be a little different from what you think..."

...

This dish was once spread in the harem, because it is shaped like a peony flower, symbolizing wealth and prosperity, with excellent meaning and delicious taste, it is deeply loved by concubines in the palace, and it is a must-eat during festivals.

You said, you know so many words and read a lot of books, why can't you see that I like you too?

The young man named Qin Shi was therefore called to enter the imperial dining room of the Qing Palace and become the imperial cook.

With this box, he felt that Peony was by his side.

After the soil was buried, there was a new grave not far from Qin Shi's house, with the name of Peony engraved on it.

After sitting quietly in front of the grave for three full days, Qin Shi packed up his belongings and left.

"You don't need money. Peony is the benefactor of everyone in the village. How dare you take money for such a trivial matter as engraving a stele?"

Ten years, fleeting.

"Just write...'Husband Qin Shili'... How much is it?"

After simple cleaning and moving in, Qin Shi stayed in front of Peony's grave for another three years.

And Qin Shi stayed in the imperial dining room for six years.

Gently wiping off the mud and sand on the surface of the box, Qin Shi hugged it in his arms, and then suddenly remembered something.

When I saw Qin Shi, I had never married a wife in my life.

...

...

He put down the suitcase, turned around and rummaged through a closet that was also covered by mud and sand, and found a light blue short jacket and a plain white pleated skirt, which looked a little dirty because they were soaked in muddy water. But he could still see the old clothes, and Qin Shi finally had a smile on his face.

"I want to visit the capital."

I saw how he spent his whole life striving for perfection and continued to optimize and improve this dish, just to let this dish leave its own name in history.

But I waited and waited, and you kept refusing to come.

Big drops of tears fell on the rice paper, smearing a piece of ink.

It wasn't until the village disappeared at the end of his sight that Qin Shi slowly looked away and looked at the box in his arms quietly.

Gently put the set of clothes from the first meeting into the coffin, Qin Shi's eyes became a little more reluctant, he stood there for a long time, and finally said softly, "Seal the coffin."

Qi Han's gaze followed Qin Shi all the time.

"This is the first time I saw you."

"What about signing?"

The former boy came to the capital, and continued to learn from his master, and his cooking skills became more and more perfect. Four years later, he opened a restaurant by himself, named Mudanlou.

He saw Qin Shi's whole process from trying to develop it to thoroughly cooking the peony fish fillet.

...

But it's fine now, if you don't marry me, you won't become a widower, hehe.

I also saw that at the last moment of his life, he told his only closed disciple to bury the box that he cherished all his life in his tomb after his death.

As Qin Shi closed his eyes for the last time, a white light enveloped everything appeared in front of Qi Han's eyes again.

As if in a lifetime, he returned to the system space.

Peony fish fillet food environment, the end.
