The dishes I cook are invincible and delicious [System]

"Yes."

Mr. Xu had heard that the jade that helped the master to protect against disasters could not be worn or thrown away, but he was still worried and asked endlessly, "Young Master Yang, what kind of wood do you need for this box? Is it mahogany or pear wood? Do you want some gold inlaid on the box..."

"Need not."

Yang Yuan got a headache when he heard his rambling questions, and waved her hand impatiently, "Just find a new box, don't make any decorations, use good wood, and you can figure out the rest."

Mr. Xu is very knowledgeable, even Chen Yuanwai never shouted at him.But at this time, he nodded respectfully, like a student obediently listening to the teacher's lecture.

Yang Yuan is not happy about leading an apprentice in vain. If it hadn't been related to Song Ruan, he would never have interfered.

He turned his head away, just in time to see Song Ruan looking at him with a half-smile.

"..."

Guiltyly avoiding his gaze, Yang Yuan coughed twice and changed the subject, "Many people have been rumoring that our restaurant poisoned your food..."

He only said half a sentence, and was satisfied to see Mr. Xu raised a hand with a serious face, "This is absolutely nonsense! Don't worry, two young masters, the rumors will disappear by tomorrow morning."

Yang Yuan hummed, without any special emotion in his tone, that was his answer.

He stood up and patted the robe on which he was sitting cherishingly, straightened the golden crown on his head again, and nodded slightly to Mr. Xu, "It's getting late, we should leave too."

They got up early today, and when they finished the business and came out of the Xu Mansion, the morning sun was light and faint, like a newborn chick, fluffy and fluffy, mixed with the sea of ​​white clouds , as if like egg white and egg yolk.

The peddlers entered the city with heavy burdens, and the aunt on the side of the road sat there with a small mat and lifted the coarse cloth covering the basket. Hidden in the basket, covered with dew.

Song Ruan walked slowly along this street, and Yang Yuan followed behind him, seeing his eyes reluctantly move away from one stall, and immediately sink into the hawthorn cake of the next one.

Yang Yuan couldn't bear it anymore, took out all the copper coins from his pocket, pinched them in his hand, and asked softly, "Do you want to eat? How about I buy one for you?"

The crimson haw jelly is strung on a stick, which makes people feel appetizing at first glance.Song Ruan stared at the hawthorn cake for a long time, and finally touched his pocket, there was not a penny in it.

He hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, and said reluctantly and against his will, "If you don't eat it, it won't taste good just by looking at it."

Yang Yuan: "..."

He had no choice but to follow Song Ruan closely, dawdling all the way to the last shop in this snack street - tofu nao shop, bypassing this shop, and walking a few dozen steps, he could see two stone lions in front of the gate of Song's house .

The aroma of tofu gradually drifted over.

Without exception, Song Ruan stopped in front of this family.

Yang Yuan sighed, touched his skirt pretendingly, and conjured a tael of silver out of thin air, he bent his lips, "Ruan Ruan, I just touched the silver, you want to eat—"

The voice stopped.

Song Ruan sat obediently at the table in front of him, holding a pair of wooden spoons in each hand, dangling the spoons there excitedly and restrainedly, tilting his head to order with the boss behind the pot, "Boss, Two bowls of bean curd, no green onion, no garlic, no coriander, just put more sesame oil."

"Oh yes, add two fried dough sticks."

After Song Ruan finished ordering, she was satisfied and turned her head with corners of her eyes. She was surprised to see Yang Yuan standing outside the stall like a pillar, "Little Yang, why are you still standing there? Hurry up." Come here. I've got all the spoons for you."

"..."

Yang Yuan had no choice but to walk over slowly, sat beside his hand, and took the pair of chopsticks that belonged to him.

The tofu nao was made very quickly. The old man skillfully took a flat spoon and gently scraped it into the bucket, and then scraped out several pieces of white, tender and not loose tofu nao, carefully put them in the bowl, and then Pour the prepared marinade on the tofu brain, and add different spices according to personal taste.

A steaming bowl of tofu nao with slightly salty taste is ready.

Song Ruan was worried that his elder brother would educate him again, so when he went out in the morning, he was in a hurry and didn't have breakfast at all.After staying at Mr. Xu's house for a while, he only drank a cup of tea, and his stomach was already empty.

Now, when he smelled the delicious tofu nao, his appetite whetted, and the delicious spoon came in and out of his mouth. It didn't take long for the bowl of tofu nao to seep to the bottom of the bowl.

The complete opposite of Song Ruan is Yang Yuan.

He scooped up a spoon listlessly, turned it upside down again, left half of it, and sent the remaining half into his stomach without any appetite.

I'm going back soon, why didn't Ruan Ruan ask him about the bead?

Or, Ruan Ruan didn't think of that layer at all, and it was all his imagination?

It shouldn't be, Ruan Ruan is so smart, how could he not guess it?And before he came out, he even glanced at me, didn't that mean he wanted me to confess later.

Yang Yuan thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more worried he became.

He looked up and saw Song Ruan finished the last spoonful of soup with relish.Yang Yuan looked at the other party's expression, as if he wanted to have another bowl, he began to panic, and quickly said, "Ruan Ruan, has Mr. Xu's matter been resolved?"

Song Ruan was really thinking about whether he wanted to have another bowl just now, but when he heard this, he said with a serious face and absent-mindedly, "Shouldn't I be the one to ask you this question?"

After speaking, he thought again in his mind, and it will be lunch time in another hour, and it is true that he should save some stomach for lunch.Although the truth is so, he couldn't help showing a somewhat disappointed expression.

This expression fell into Yang Yuan's eyes in this situation, and it was misunderstood as an expression of disappointment towards him.

Although he is free to come and go alone, all etiquette and stereotypes are just a passing cloud to him. Even "people" are not much different from other things in his eyes. They all have two eyes and a pair of eyes. ear.

But there was only one person, every frown and smile fell into his eyes.

"Do you still remember that I promised you last night that nothing would happen to Mr. Xu? That bead is what I gave him for self-defense."

Yang Yuan explained, he gently opened his cuffs, and immediately a string of bracelets appeared on his empty wrist. The pale pink beads were strung together by a thread. The sun fell on the bracelets, as if there were A stream flows slowly through the beads.

For a moment, it was full of brilliance.

Song Ruan's eyes widened slightly, and he also lifted up his cuffs. On his left wrist, he wore a string of identical beaded bracelets of the same size and style.

He looked at Yang Yuan's and then at his own, feeling a little unbelievable, "This is..."

"This is my magic weapon, a pair of mother-in-law chains. The beads on it are not ordinary beads. It has the function of exorcising evil and avoiding taboos, and can help mortals ward off a disaster."

Yang Yuan's eyes fell on Song Ruan's bracelet, and he sighed, "It's been many years ago to talk about the origin of this thing... There was a crooked iron tree on the hill where I used to live, and it was ugly. It's crooked, it's not pretty at all, and it never blooms."

"But no one expected that one day, the iron tree not only bloomed, but also grew the only fruit."

"I happened to be passing by at the time, and saw the fruit itching in my heart, and I wanted to pick it up and eat it, but who knew that the moment I picked it off, it turned into a huge bead full of spiritual energy... So I Use it as a magic weapon."

"When the fruit was picked, it turned into a spirit bead?"

Even Song Ruan couldn't help sighing about Yang Yuan's adventure, he looked down at the dazzling bead string in his hand again, and asked curiously, "Then this bead can only be used once?"

Isn't that too wasteful?

"of course not."

Yang Yuan shook his head and sighed, "You underestimate me too, can my magic weapon be broken after one use?"

"This is the child chain." He shook the chain in his hand, then pouted at Song Ruan's hand, "The one in your hand is the mother chain. The child chain is naturally not as powerful as the mother chain, so The beads of the child chains must never be reused, but the mother chains can.”

"Mother chain?"

Song Ruan was really surprised now.

One must know that when Yang Yuan gave him this string of bracelets, it was the first time the two of them met.

The night was dim, and the moon was like frost.

The boy was dressed in black, with a gentle smile on his mouth, and handed him the bracelet that seemed to be flowing with moonlight.

Yang Yuan didn't say anything, and Song Ruan didn't know, so it was his magic weapon.

"Why did you give me such a precious thing?"

Song Ruan was a bit at a loss while wearing the chain. He wanted to take off the mother chain and return it to Yang Yuan, but he was worried that the other party would be angry. He said at a loss, "We didn't know each other at the beginning. ah."

"You take it."

Yang Yuan smiled slightly, his gaze watered, "Someone told me before that human beings are very fragile..."

"I said, I don't want you to use it."

"But... I don't want you to get hurt."

The suspected incident of poisoning bureaucrats at Nanshan Restaurant spread among the common people, and then disappeared silently from the sight of the common people.

The reason for this is also very simple, because another explosive news caused a lot of noise in the capital—when Mr. Xu almost died of illness at home, Mrs. Xu died suddenly one night.

Just talking about this incident is not a big news. After all, the level of medical treatment in ancient times was low, and the emperor's concubine died of illness. This sudden death is not very difficult to understand.

Originally, Mr. Xu had finished burying his wife and finishing July [-]th.But this incident was caused by Mrs. Xu's own brother and Mr. Xu's brother-in-law.

This brother-in-law probably really loves his sister. After learning of his sister's sudden death, he couldn't accept it for a while, so he went to Xu's mourning hall every day to make trouble, saying that Mr. Xu killed his own wife, otherwise why didn't he dare to send his sister away? Go to the government for an autopsy.

Mr. Xu didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but this little brother-in-law made troubles day by day, and slowly, the neighbors in the neighborhood began to spread gossip.

Under such circumstances, Mr. Xu had no choice but to report to the government and invite someone to open the coffin for an autopsy. The result was indeed beyond everyone's expectations—Ms. Xu was indeed poisoned to death.

Since there was a death, there must be a trial.

In this trial, there was a problem.

Officials found a large dose of meth in Mrs. Xu's dowry box.And only she has the key to this box, and even Mr. Xu didn't know that there was such a box hidden in his house when the officials came to search it.

It turned out that Mrs. Xu had secretly used the convenience of her husband's position for many years to embezzle government money to subsidize her mother's family and her younger brother, and her brother-in-law also made a large amount of windfall outside in the name of her brother-in-law.

It wasn't until Mr. Xu had nothing to do a few days ago that he said he wanted to check the family books, and Mrs. Xu saw that her dirty things were about to be exposed, so she became murderous.

Mrs. Xu's maid also pleaded guilty.According to her, this woman wanted to poison her husband to kill her husband, but she took the wrong food when she took the poisoned food. Instead, she ate the food containing meth and died of the poison.

Things have progressed to this point, and it can be said that the evidence is as solid as a mountain, and the hammer will be hammered.

While kneading the freshly fried melon seeds, Song Ruan listened with relish to Xiao Paotang's ups and downs describing the thrilling story, his lips moved slightly, and spit out two thin melon seeds.

He just wanted to listen to the follow-up, but at this moment, his ears suddenly burned.

There is a message from the system.

Song Ruan didn't change his face, he found an excuse to hide by himself, and then opened the panel.
