Ugly vase becomes beautiful

A gust of wind rolled onto the street, blowing away the fallen leaves on the street.

Pei Shen took the book by accident, and walked back in doubt.

Pei Shen's thoughts drifted away. At one moment, he felt that he was too naive to believe such things, and at the other moment, he felt that there seemed to be some truth in it.

Sometimes people are so strange, when they have a strong desire, they will choose to believe in things that they did not believe in.

Pei Shen was engrossed in his thoughts, when suddenly a carriage was speeding towards him, his hand slipped, and the book in his hand fell to the ground.

The book fell on the ground, but the carriage sped away again, not forgetting to splash dirty water all over Pei Shen.

Pei Shen looked angrily at the back of the carriage, but he didn't see a thin piece of paper floating out of the falling book, drifting into the dark alley with the wind.

When he came back to his senses, he just picked up the book and flipped it over, patting the dust on it lightly.

The cover of this blue book was beautiful and clean. The wind lifted the pages, and then withdrew his hand as if he had touched something.

Looking at the book, Pei Shen sighed softly.

At that time, he accepted the book by accident, but now it seems that he has some regrets.

This kind of thing...is it really useful?

"Ah Shen, have you bought your medicine yet?" Pei Shen was about to go back home along the road, when Ah Xiang's voice suddenly came from his ear.

It turned out that Ah Xiang was worried about him and came out to look for him again.

Pei Shen was originally inattentive, but Ah Xiang's sudden appearance startled him, he quickly put the book away, and hurriedly said, "I've bought it."

Ah Xiang came over to hold his hand, and naturally saw the book, and asked: "So you like reading books, if you like, the prince has many books, you can read them all."

"...Hmm." Pei Shen's thoughts drifted away, and he also thought of the books Jiang Wuyin read.

...he doesn't look at it.

Pei Shen put the book in his bosom and asked: "Ah Xiang, has the lord been reading books about monsters recently?"

"That's right." Ah Xiang replied, "Not only the prince, but the whole capital is watching."

Pei Shen asked: "The whole capital?"

"That's right, I heard that Miss Chen's family went out to visit the temple fair, and when she came back she was bedridden and couldn't help it after looking for a lot of doctors. She said it was..." Ah Xiang moved closer to Pei Shen and said mysteriously, "I was entangled by a monster."

Ms. Chen should be the daughter of Mrs. Chen, because this is the only family of dignitaries surnamed Chen in the original book.The author of this book adheres to the principle of "never duplicate surnames", and the surnames of almost supporting characters are not repeated.

"Have you been entangled by a monster?" Pei Shen asked.

"Yes, I heard that Ms. Chen's symptoms are very strange. She twitches continuously at night and is normal during the day." A Xiang said, "They all said that it was a monster who came to Ms. Chen at night."

Pei Shen fell into deep thought.

Monsters harming people?

This thing sounds a little strange.

"Chen Taifu wrote a letter overnight to His Majesty, imploring His Majesty to eradicate monsters." A Xiang continued, "Just now, Your Majesty issued a new decree."

"Exorcism order."

Pei Shen paused holding the book.

"It is said that all over the river, anyone who has the ability to eliminate monsters can take the head of the monster to the palace to receive the reward." A Xiang said again, "I heard that you can get a thousand taels of gold."

Pei Shen: ...!

The scene of Jiang Wuyin carrying his head to the palace to receive the reward emerged in Pei Xiaoping's mind.

Ah Xiang smiled, and continued: "Because of this incident, many people in the capital have read books about monsters, so that they can defend themselves when encountering monsters."

After saying that, she took out a small notebook from her pocket: "It's also for this reason that I came to you today, don't be polite to me, take it."

Pei Shen took the small book blankly, and a few large characters on it came into view - Demon Prevention Handbook.

Ah Xiang looked at him, as if saying, don't thank me.

Pei Shen: "...Thank you."

Ah Xiang even took Pei Shen's hand: "Let's go to the street to buy anti-ghost powder tonight."

Pei Shen's eyes were empty: "...Okay."

Ah Xiang happily led Pei Shen back to the house, and Pei Shen quietly went back to the house, looked around and closed the door before he was able to find out the secret book.

Pei Shen suddenly felt that what the old man said was very accurate, he was indeed about to encounter an accident.Jiang Wuyin was the only one who knew his identity. Would Jiang Wuyin take him to receive the reward?

Pei Shen clutched the pages of the book unconsciously.

too frightening.

Pei Shen, who had doubts about this book just now, was convinced of it now, and he quickly sat back on the bed and opened the book.

A few lines were written on the first page.

Pei Shen was puzzled, and looked down carefully:

"Brother Pei, when you open this book, it means you have made up your mind. No matter what you see, don't question it."

?

This person actually knows his name. Could it be that this book can really help him.

Pei Shen turned to the first page with doubts:

If you want to survive under the hands of the villain, please do it for your villain...

Pei Shen who saw half of it: ...?

My villain?

Pei Shen continued to look down:

Make the most delicious meal in the world.

Cook? !

Young master Pei doesn't know how to cook.

Not only that, the book also gives a perfect explanation:

"Brother Pei, if you find that your villain is threatening your life, you have to believe in one sentence-human beings are inherently good."

Pei Shen: ....

"Your villain hides his secrets and possesses unique skills. If you choose to confront him head-on at this time, the only one who will be hurt is yourself."

Pei Shen: Dreaming of going back to university to do psychological test questions.

But this sentence does make sense.

"Remember, in this world, love can affect everything, or in other words, show your value as much as possible in front of your villain, make him think you are useful, and then, he can't do without you."

"In the end, not only will he not threaten you, but he will even protect you, be crazy about you, and be crazy about you."

After thinking for a while, Pei Shen decided to turn the page backwards, but he couldn't turn the pages as if they were glued together. Only then did the small characters at the bottom of the first page slowly come into his sight:

Only after completing the first one can the next one be started.

Pei Shen immediately wanted to throw the book on the ground.

After several tangled psychological journeys, it was already dark.

Pei Shen hid the book Haosheng in the cabinet, so naturally he didn't forget to go to the street to buy demon powder tonight.

Sure enough, Ah Xiang came to look for Pei Shen early, and pulled Pei Shen out like the wind: "Ah Shen, it will be too late!"

The two went all the way to the south of the capital.

Hawkers are very good at finding business opportunities. There are many princes and nobles in the northern part of the capital, but they are not their audience. Most of their audience are ordinary people, so they choose to sell demon powder in the south of the capital.

The south of the capital was crowded with people, Ah Xiang took Pei Shen and squeezed to the front of the stall: "Boss, I want all these monster-killing fans."

Pei Shen looked at the demon-eliminating powder on the stall. The demon-eliminating powder was wrapped in paper. The paper was thin, and the black powder inside could be vaguely seen.

Pei Shen looked away with some discomfort.

The price of a pack of demon-removing powder is not low, how could Ah Xiang have the money to buy so many demon-removing powder?

The answer is obvious, the money was given by Jiang Wuyin.

"Okay." The boss helped them wrap it up, and a few people nearby chattered: "I heard that there are monsters in the city recently?"

"Isn't that right, Miss Chen's family was murdered so crazy..."

"Then I need to buy more demon-removing powder."

"But don't worry, I heard that His Majesty has issued an order to eliminate demons. Soon, the experts in our capital will hold the monster's head to see His Majesty."

A few people spoke and laughed mockingly.

Pei Shen couldn't hear it, Ah Xiang pulled Pei Shen back and walked back: "Ah Shen, I'll give you five bags."

Demon removal powder is not cheap, Ah Xiang bought twenty packs and gave Pei Shen five packs: "Ah Shen, I'll give you a little more, so that monsters won't dare to approach you."

Pei Shen didn't know what to say for a moment: "Well...thank you."

……

After Pei Shen received the demon-eliminating powder, he went out with A Xiang for a while, and when he returned to the palace, he hurriedly burned the demon-eliminating powder inside the house.

When he took the demon-eliminating powder just now, he felt a little dizzy and uncomfortable.Not only is it accompanied by pain, he is also a little desperate...

An inexplicable fear and despair.

He didn't recover until the burning was over.

Pei Shen felt a little thirsty.

There was no water in the teapot in the house.

So Pei Shen went out to find some water to drink.

The moon has quietly climbed into the night sky, and the soft light is pouring on the people in the courtyard.

The moonlight prefers such beauties, and falls gently on Jiang Wuyin's body. He is especially attractive when he is quiet. Pei Shen couldn't help but stop and stare at him quietly.

Jiang Wuyin is indeed pretty.

The "beautiful scenery" is naturally attractive, Pei Shen was fascinated by it, Ah Xiang suddenly walked out of the room, and handed something to Jiang Wuyin: "My lord."

Pei Shen took a closer look.

It's a demon fan!

Jiang Wuyin took the demon-eliminating powder silently, and caught a glimpse of Pei Shen. He didn't shy away from it, and blatantly, looked at Pei Shen provocatively.

Pei Shen: ...!

Jiang Wuyin's expression was complicated, or in other words, he had always had such a complicated expression, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

After a while, Jiang Wuyin said, "Yes."

Pei Shen felt slightly cold.

It seems that Jiang Wuyin really wants this monster-removing fan. Jiang Wuyin used to play with him, but now he doesn't even bother to play with Yin, and actually directly in front of him...

Deceiving too much.

After a brief moment of anger, Pei Shen could only go back to the room and stare at the blue book.

He can no longer sit still.

When he opened the blue book, he sighed secretly for his lack of confidence. Faced with such persecution by the wicked, he could only live by a book.

And the content of this book...

Cook?

Although it sounds outrageous...

But remembering what the old man said, Pei Shen gritted his teeth, trying first, it's better than waiting to die.

……

The twilight was not too deep, Ah Xiang was cleaning the room in the house, when there was a knock on the door suddenly.

As soon as the door opened, Pei Shen stood at the door, and Ah Xiang's face blushed. In the middle of the night, Pei Shen suddenly came to visit, what was the matter...

Speaking of which, Pei Shen has never knocked on her door.

Ah Xiang hesitated to speak, and Pei Shen spoke first: "A Xiang, do you have a recipe?"

"Dish, recipe?" Ah Xiang was puzzled.

"Yes, I want to cook some dishes." Pei Shen replied.

Ah Xiang shyly said: "Are you hungry? If you are hungry, I will make it for you."

Pei Shen was stunned for a moment: "It's okay, I'll do it myself, you should go to bed earlier."

Ah Xiang nodded, and took out a thick cookbook from the room: "This is it."

Pei Shen took the recipe with a heavy heart, so the recipes of the ancients were so thick?

Pei Shen flipped through it curiously, and one dish successfully attracted him.

Braised pork trotter.

Pei Shen was slightly taken aback: "This dish..."

Pei Shen once learned some folk stories from his grandfather. He heard that this pig's trotter was in a certain area and had another name - "Zhu Chacha". going out..

Seeing that Pei Shen was in a daze, Ah Xiang explained: "This is the prince's favorite dish."

Pei Shen's thoughts drifted away, and for some reason, Jiang Wuyin gnawed with a pig's fork in his mind.

He remembered what was said in the blue book: cook the most delicious meal in the world for the wicked.

The most delicious meal ever...

It must be Jiang Wuyin's favorite food.

So, Pei Xiaoping, who had never cooked before, started with this dish.

According to Ah Xiang, because Jiang Wuyin likes to eat pig's trotters, fresh pig's trotters are always kept in the ice cellar.

Pei Shen went to the ice cellar to get ten pig's trotters in one go, and when he came out holding the icy pig's trotters, it was getting dark already.

Pei Shen didn't dare to delay, so he quickly closed the kitchen and studied hard with the heavy recipes in his hands.

Anyway, Jiang Wuyin is a man, so it's not a problem to eat a few pork forks. Besides... Jiang Wuyin has loved to eat since he was a child?

……

Jiang Wuyin sat quietly in the courtyard.

The story of Ms. Chen had already spread in the capital, and the emperor issued an order to eliminate the demons. Hearing the news, all the chivalrous men in the capital rushed to catch the demons, and some even squatted at Chen's house.

If you catch a monster, you can get a thousand taels of gold.

This condition is attractive enough.

Jiang Wuyin suddenly remembered the way Pei Shen looked at him just now.

Very uncomfortable.

Pei Shen must have heard the news, his identity is only known to him, perhaps Pei Shen is... afraid that he will hand him over to the emperor.

Jiang Wuyin drooped her long eyelashes, and subconsciously rubbed the demon powder that Axiang gave him just now. He was not good at expressing, so he didn't know how to talk to Pei Shen.

It was the same in the sanatorium yesterday.

He didn't buy these demon powders to harm Pei Shen...

While Jiang Wuyin was thinking, a burning smell suddenly floated into his nose.

What is the taste?

The smell came from the back kitchen, Jiang Wuyin slowly moved over, and saw the scene inside through the crack of the window.

Pei Shen was ashamed and choked several times, not knowing what he was doing in the pot.

Immediately afterwards, Pei Shen fished out a dark object from the pot and smelled it, then put it on the plate with disgust.

Although the thing was ugly, it was not difficult for Jiang Wuyin to recognize.

It's trotters.

Pei Shen seemed a little discouraged, and Jiang Wuyin also understood him, after all, this thing is really not edible.

The first time I ate pig's trotters was in the Spring Festival when I was four years old.

The palace is full of joy, red is hung everywhere, and every palace is busy with the New Year.

In the eyes of the world, the New Year in the palace is not as lively as outside, but the fact is that, except for some decorations symbolizing the New Year, the palace lacks a lot of human touch.

It was at that time that my mother made braised pig's trotters for Jiang Wuyin.

That was the best dish Jiang Wuyin had ever eaten.

But seeing this in Pei Shen's hand, he lost his appetite at all.

too dark.

Jiang Wuyin turned to leave, but saw Pei Shen put the uncooked pig's trotters into the pot again.

He's going to do it all over again.

Pei Shen was extremely focused, so focused that he didn't see Jiang Wuyin, but just looked down at the menu over and over again.

Jiang Wuyin stared at Pei Shen.

Pei Shen is unexpectedly serious in his work, and... like him, he also likes to eat pig's trotters.

The kitchen was quickly filled with the smell of pig's trotters, and this time it did not disappoint. When Pei Shen picked up the pig's trotters again, the pig's trotters were already shiny brown red.

Jiang Wuyin withdrew her gaze, turned and left.

……

The light in the kitchen was not bright.

Pei Shen concentrates on doing pig's trotters. He has a problem. Once he concentrates on anything, he seems to be cut off from the world.

So that every time he does an experiment, others tell him that he should not answer for a long time.

Pei Shen finally made the pig's trotters, he hesitated for a long time, and then turned out the blue book to read.

It clearly stated on the blue book, cook the most delicious meal in the world for the wicked, and left a note in red letters, please let the wicked eat it.

eat...

Pei Shen stared at the pig's trotter for a while, then read the few lines of small characters over and over again, and finally decided to take the pig's trotter to find Jiang Wuyin.

He hesitated for a long time and knocked on Jiang Wuyin's door. Jiang Wuyin seemed to be going to sleep, but his coat had already been taken off. Pei Shen suddenly felt that he was so immoral.

Feeding late at night?

But the road has come here, he can only bite the bullet and say: "For you."

Simple and blunt.

Jiang Wuyin took a look at his pig's trotters, then turned his gaze away lightly.

It seems very disdainful.

Pei Shen was somewhat frustrated, but the words had already been spoken, so he could only continue with a cheeky face, so he walked over boldly: "I took the chopsticks and ate together?"

Seeing that there was no movement from Jiang Wuyin, Pei Shen simply ate by himself first, not forgetting to say: "It's delicious."

After a while, Jiang Wuyin came over with gloomy eyes, picked up a pig's trotter with chopsticks, and bit it lightly. Compared with Pei Shen, Jiang Wuyin was exceptionally elegant.

Then, Jiang Wuyin glanced at Pei Shen.

There is no emotion in the eyes.

Pei Shen's mouth froze as he bit the pig's trotter.

A little scared of what's going on.

……

Jiang Wuyin just returned to the room, undressed and was about to fall asleep, when there was a soft knock on the door outside.

Gently opened the door, Pei Shen was standing at the door.

Jiang Wuyin looked down, and Pei Shen was holding a large plate of pig's trotters in his hand.

Jiang Wuyin looked at it for a while, then moved away calmly.

Pei Shen said bluntly, "It's for you."

Jiang Wuyin raised her eyes.

for him?

So... Pei Shen made pig's trotters in the kitchen just now for him?

Does Pei Shen know that he likes to eat pig's trotters?

And why do you want to do it for him?

Seeing that Jiang Wuyin was silent, Pei Shen put the pig's trotters on the table, and said for a long time: "I took the chopsticks, eat together?"

Pei Shen is inviting him?

Because it was inconvenient to eat and dress too thickly, Pei Shen's clothes were thin, and the cold wind blew his face red, making him look thinner and thinner.

Jiang Wuyin paused slightly, and moved his gaze down.

Pei Shen held two pairs of chopsticks in his hand, and the other pair seemed to be specially prepared for him.

Jiang Wuyin was inevitably suspicious, but seeing how delicious Pei Shen's food was, she walked over and picked up the chopsticks.

The oily reddish-brown color became more and more alluring under the candlelight, as if silently inviting him. Jiang Wuyin had a complicated expression, and hesitantly opened his mouth to taste it.

Unexpectedly delicious.

Jiang Wuyin thought of Pei Shen concentrating on making pig's trotters in the dark kitchen, his technique was unfamiliar, he would cook for a while and then look at the recipe for a while.

He was dressed thinly, and in the dim light, he could vaguely see the fine sweat oozing from his neck, and the roots of his ears were also thin red because of nervousness.

Jiang Wuyin felt strange feelings in her heart, and glanced at Pei Shen.

Pei Shen is quite forgetful about eating.

Usually eating in the mansion, Jiang Wuyin seldom eats with Pei Shen and the others, and occasionally eats with them, Pei Shen always seems cautious.

Except for Ah Xiang, it seemed that everyone deliberately kept a distance from him, no matter if they were people in the palace or servants in the mansion.

He didn't know how long he hadn't eaten like this.

Seeing Pei Shen eating so happily, Jiang Wuyin couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips.

Aware of her strange reaction, Jiang Wuyin quickly suppressed her smile, because she tried her best to conceal her inner feelings, she looked at Pei Shen with a strange look.

Pei Shen's mouth froze as he bit the pig's trotter: "..."

"...Your trotters are good." Jiang Wuyin looked away, and said inexplicably, "...Actually, I don't mind you being a bottle."

Pei Shen put down the trotter in shock.

Are you serious? !

He glanced at the trotters again.

The mysterious old man sincerely does not deceive me.

The author has something to say:

Pei Shen: What do you call my trotters?

I don’t know if you little angels know Zhuchacha? —v—
