The willow leaves are slowly

"Come in!" Ye Hansheng said.

Ah Cheng gently pushed the door open and came in, "Sir, Miao Shan used soul-stealing magic to control a new shadow guard. Brother Bufeng went to follow him, and Brother Zhuiying is secretly monitoring Miao Shan."

"Sure enough, Miao Shan took action so quickly." Liu Qingyin said.

"But...what is soul-stealing technique...?" Liu Qingyin asked.

Ah Cheng said: "I don't know either, but Miao Shan can temporarily make people lose their minds and obey her commands."

"It can also induce certain habits in people." Ye Hansheng added.

"Isn't this just psychological suggestion plus hypnosis? It's incredible that there are people who can hypnotize in this era." Liu Qingyin thought.

"What is Ayin thinking about?" Ye asked coldly.

"Oh, nothing, I'm just surprised that Miao Shan is so powerful."

"Young Master!" Bufeng said outside the door.

Ah Cheng opened the door, and Bufeng and Zhuiying walked in together. Bufeng bowed and said, "Sir, Sanshiliu went to Miaoshan Hall and found a signal firework from Miaoshan Hall and released the signal."

"Is Thirty-Six a problem?" Ye asked coldly.

"It's nothing serious, don't worry, sir. Sanshiliu returned to Shadow Prison and told Miao Shan that the mission had been completed. After leaving Shadow Prison, he returned to his room and fainted." Zhuiying said.

"Master Liuyun has already seen thirty-six."

"Let Thirty-Six have a good rest for two days." Ye Hansheng ordered.

"Yes! Sir, do you want to interrogate Miao Shan?" Zhuiying asked.

"No need, the Shadow Prison guards will follow the current deployment. Shadow Chaser will make the arrangements and let everyone take turns to rest."

"Yes!" The three of them bowed and left the room.

"Boss, can we go home now?" Liu Qingyin said, stretching.

"It's getting late today and the city is under curfew. Ayin can stay in the Shadow Pavilion."

"how about you?"

"I will naturally stay in the Shadow Pavilion as well."

"Gurgle" Liu Qingyin's stomach growled. She touched her stomach and smiled embarrassedly.

"Where is the kitchen? Acheng and the others have gone to rest. I will do it myself and not trouble them."

"Oh? Ayin wants to cook for herself?"

"Then I'll take Ayin to the kitchen."

Liu Qingyin followed Ye Hansheng to the kitchen, "I'm so hungry!"

"What does Ayin want to do?"

"Let's make noodle soup."

"it is good!"

When she came to the kitchen, Liu Qingyin suddenly remembered that there were no gas stoves in that era. To light the fire, she needed to pull the bellows and add firewood. There were no ready-made noodles, so she needed to knead the dough, roll it out, and cut the noodles herself.

"Ayin, you can start now. I can help you light the fire. The flour is over there."

"Hey... Shengsheng, do you have any leftovers? Anything will do, we can just heat it up and eat it."

"No, there are never any leftovers in the Shadow Pavilion."

"Ayin comes from the countryside, doesn't she know how to light a fire and cook?"

Liu Qingyin raised her eyebrows and said, "I can't help it. My parents love me more, so I don't like women."

"But Ayin just said she wanted to make noodle soup."

"Yes, I want to turn on an induction cooker or a gas stove, so I can cook some instant noodles or dried noodles. Do you have one in your kitchen? Do you? Do you have one?"

"If not, you can order takeout. Give me your phone and let me order takeout for the yellow robe, okay?"

Of course, Liu Qingyin couldn't say these words. At this moment, she was looking at the kitchen, and a feeling of powerlessness emanated from the bottom of her heart.

"Brother, I don't want to eat anymore, okay? I want to go back to sleep, then I won't be hungry when I sleep." Liu Qingyin said with empty eyes.

Ye Hansheng looked at her with a smile on his lips, moved a small table and two small stools and put them away, then he took out a sausage from somewhere and handed it to her.

"Ayin, sit down and wait for a moment." Ye Hansheng touched her head and started to light the fire and cook.

This scene seemed familiar. Not long ago, she saw Ye Hansheng holding a sausage and throwing it to Xueer, then stroking its fur.

"Yeah, exactly the same!"

Liu Qingyin held her cheek, tilted her head, and ate sausage. Ye Hansheng tied up his sleeves and hair, added firewood to boil water, the candlelight flickered, and the moonlight shone on the white window paper. The warm yellow candlelight and the silvery white moonlight complemented each other.

Hot white steam came out of the pot. In the hazy white steam, Ye Hansheng was busy, and from time to time he smiled and looked at Liu Qingyin. His eyes were clear and bright...

The smoke from the kitchen drove away the chill of autumn, and two bowls of hot vegetable and shredded pork noodles were served on the table.

The noodles are of uniform thickness and each strand is distinct, the vegetables are shiny and crisp, the shredded pork is browned, tender and juicy, and translucent circles of sesame oil float in the slightly whitish soup. The top of the shredded pork is also dotted with some chopped green onions and coriander. It is delicious and the aroma is mouth-watering.

"Wow!" Liu Qingyin's eyes lit up as she looked at the noodles on the table. "I really want to thank you so much! You guys are so good at cooking!"

"Wait!" She was about to start eating when Ye Han interrupted her, "There's also this!"

Ye Hansheng poured her some vinegar and said, "Hecheng sweet vinegar is the soul of this bowl of noodles!"

Sure enough, when vinegar was added to the bowl, the aroma filled the air instantly.

"Wow! It smells so good!" Liu Qingyin's eyes lit up and she was drooling. "Can I eat it now?" she said expectantly.

Ye Hansheng smiled and nodded, "Please!"

Liu Qingyin started eating at lightning speed!

As she ate, she praised, "Shengsheng, if you open a noodle shop, it will definitely be famous in Dongling. It's so delicious, this noodle is only available in heaven!"

Ye Hansheng smiled and said, "Ayin, eat slowly, there's more in the pot."

"I didn't expect that someone of your status could actually cook, and cook so well!" Liu Qingyin gulped down a big mouthful of soup with a look of satisfaction on her face.

"Once I was going to investigate a case, and I had to disguise myself as a chef in order to get close to the criminal. To enter that restaurant, my cooking skills had to be very superb, so I learned from the royal chef in the palace. In the end, I not only caught the criminal, but also made a lot of money in that restaurant." Ye Hansheng happily talked about the past.

"You are amazing. Cooking is something that most people can hardly master in a short period of time. You must be gifted."

"The royal chef who taught me said the same thing. He excitedly passed on all his life's learning to me and gave me several recipes he created."

"Hahaha, the Imperial Chef must be very pleased that someone will take over your career. When you retire, you must pass on your cooking skills to others, so as not to let down the Imperial Chef's cultivation."

"When we retire, you can open a restaurant and be the chef, Bufeng Zhuiying will help you serve the dishes, Acheng will greet the guests, and I will help you keep the accounts. I can also sing and dance and perform shows. Aunt Li will be the pastry chef, and Xiaoyue can be responsible for the soft furnishings and hygiene of the restaurant. You will pay us monthly wages and dividends at the end of the year, okay?" Liu Qingyin served another bowl on her own.

Ye Hansheng watched her eat heartily, and his eyes gradually dimmed when he heard her imagination of the future.

Liu Qingyin raised her head while biting the noodles and looked at him: "Is it okay?!"

Ye Hansheng smiled and said softly: "If you can, of course!"

Liu Qingyin hesitated for a moment and said, "I know that our work is very dangerous and it's like licking blood on the tip of a knife, but we should all pay attention to safety in the future and make sure we can live until retirement so that we can live the life we ​​want."

"If I can save some money, I can form a partnership with you. We can choose a place near green mountains and clear waters, and name it after our surnames, 'Liuye Restaurant'! How do you think?"

Ye Hansheng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll remember it!"

"Does Ayin have any other wishes?"

"Other wishes? It should be to pay off the money I owe you as soon as possible, have some savings, and live a life like a salted fish as soon as possible." Liu Qingyin finished the last sip of soup.

“What is a salted fish life?”

"Calm, fulfilled, happy, free, with my lover and family by my side." Liu Qingyin said with a smile as she looked at the heat from the kitchen roof.

Looking at her longing expression and bright eyes, Ye Hansheng's heart seemed to be stabbed by something. Is such a beautiful and vibrant life really going to disappear?

For the first time, doubts arose in his mind.

Liu Qingyin waved her hand in front of his eyes, "Huh? What's wrong with you? What are you thinking about?"

Ye Hansheng came back to his senses and smiled, "Nothing, seeing A Yin so happy, I was also imagining the days after I retire and return home."

"What kind of life do you want to live?"

"Same as Ayin."

"Hahaha! Then we will make salted fish together in Liuye Restaurant. But you also have to respect the opinions of your future wife. Her opinions are also very important." Liu Qingyin said with a smile.

Ye Hansheng looked into her eyes and said, "Of course, her opinion is very important, and I already respect it."

"Uh..., why does this guy flirt with me whenever he gets the chance? Could it be that he really likes me? What does he like about me?" Liu Qingyin kept muttering to herself.

"Cough, cough!" She coughed twice and turned her back.

Ye Hansheng leaned over from behind her and whispered, "Will Ah Yin also respect the opinions of her future husband?"

"Of course...! If anything, mutual respect is a must." Liu Qingyin only felt her face getting hot.

"Well! It's getting late now, can we go to bed?"

Liu Qingyin turned her head, blushing, and said in panic: "We?! What...what are you thinking?"

"Well! Let's go back to your room and I'll go back to my Moying Garden. What is Ayin thinking about?" Ye Hansheng asked softly with a smile on his lips.

The warm breath made Liu Qingyin gradually panic, "I... Of course I think so too!"

"It seems that Ayin also respects...my ideas!" Ye Hansheng emphasized the word "respect".

"I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going back now. Go to bed early. Good night, boss!" Liu Qingyin trotted all the way to her room like a little white rabbit...

Looking at Liu Qingyin's back, the seed in his heart took root deeply.
