I open a restaurant in Xiujie

Fengshan City, Spirit Cauldron Association.

The night was getting darker, but the lanterns at the door were still bright, Ying Yuanwan stood on the towering attic, lazily leaning on the railing, the light of the lanterns reflected in her eyes, and her white fingertips tapped lightly on the vermilion railing boredly.

When there were rustling footsteps behind her, the girl's pretty face was immediately stained with joy, and she turned her head with a smile on her face: "Brother Han Xue?"

"It's me," Qi Hanxue leaned out his upper body from the stairs, and waved the porcelain bowl in his hand at the girl, "It's cool up here, I made you a bowl of osmanthus jujube and yam soup."

Hearing that Qi Hanxue was afraid that she would be cold, and cooked a cup of soup for her in the middle of the night, Ying Yuanwan walked over happily and took the cup of soup from the young man in black: "The osmanthus jujube yam can not only dispel the cold, but also strengthen the spleen and stomach." , Brother Hanxue, you are so kind to me."

She held the soup cup to her lips, blew on it for a while, and took a sip.

Immediately, she frowned subconsciously: "The heat is a bit overdue, this date..."

Before she finished speaking, Ying Yuanwan came to her senses quickly, quickly swallowed the second half of the comment, and changed her words: "This soup is warm, and the dates and longan are sweet. It's delicious."

The night wind blew across the beams, and half of Qi Hanxue's face was hidden in the shadows, but after Ying Yuanwan got closer, the fluorescent lights on the girl's pink skirt reflected the young man's expression clearly.

His smile was still impeccable, and he just shook his head slightly: "It's okay, Wan'er, but you just say it's okay, don't worry about my mood."

"You come from a family of spiritual chefs. You have eaten countless delicious dishes since you were young, and your evaluation of the dishes is absolutely pertinent. If you say a few more words, my cooking skills will improve, right?"

"...Then I'll just say it?"

Ying Yuanwan stuck out her tongue playfully, and said in a low voice: "The heat is over, the dates are too rotten, and the taste is a bit bland, you can add a little more sugar... No, no sugar, use rock sugar, the taste of rock sugar is softer .And it is better not to use ordinary rice for this rice, but to use Yashan pearl rice..."

She spoke faster and faster, babbling non-stop like pouring beans, until Qi Hanxue's bowl of red dates and yam porridge was all over the body, and then she stopped in satisfaction.

On the other side, Qi Hanxue couldn't hold back the smile on his face.

"You told me to say it, so don't be angry."

Ying Yuanwan pulled the young man's arm affectionately: "You know, my father is also the president of the association. I have tasted too many dishes since I was a child. Now that I taste it, I can't help but want to comment... okay Brother Hanxue, although your porridge is so-so, the love contained in it is unique, and I like it very much."

As she said that, as if to prove that she liked it, Ying Yuanwan took the porridge bowl and gulped it down in one gulp.

Qi Hanxue's complexion improved a bit, and he said in a low voice, "Wan'er, I'm sorry for letting you eat these ordinary things."

"The time for me to learn cooking is still too short, less than three years. I really regret it. If I had made up my mind to learn cooking early, would I be able to become famous like your cousin and uncle now? Fengshan's spiritual chef?"

His words were like a reminder, and Ying Yuanwan immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, Brother Hanxue, you have only studied for less than three years, and you are far beyond ordinary people to be able to do this. Don't worry, Brother Yihanxue, you With his ingenuity and my father's advice, wouldn't it be easy to become a spirit chef?"

"Let's not talk about it, just for this Spirit Cauldron Conference, as long as you practice that recipe well, it doesn't need to be [-]%, only [-]%... no, [-]% of the heat, my father will guarantee you as a creator, and guarantee that the judges will give you extra Extra points, you won’t have to worry about getting a spot when the time comes.”

In the cool wind, Qi Hanxue had a strange expression on his face.

He lowered his head slightly, as if mocking himself, but cautiously: "Then what if... I can only control [-]%?"

"Sixty percent?" Ying Yuanwan was stunned for a moment, her pretty eyebrows frowned slightly, "Then it's probably hanging..."

She frowned, paced back and forth in the attic, her fingers nervously hooked the glowing spar on the corner of the skirt, and pinched it between her fingertips.

Qi Hanxue held his breath, not even daring to breathe.

After a long time, he heard Ying Yuanwan's crisp voice: "Forget it, [-]%, that's too much. At worst, let Dad say hello to the judges. The judges in the Yashan competition area are all acquaintances of our family. It's not a big deal to give you a score."

"But Brother Hanxue, this is the recipe you developed and the way you created it. Why can I only master [-]% of it?"

Qi Hanxue's heart trembled, and he cursed in his heart, but forced a wry smile on his face: "I'm ashamed to say, but I'm still not determined, affected by the previous incident, I haven't been able to perform to the level I should have... "

Seeing the young man's expression of misery, Ying Yuanwan immediately felt distressed, and trot all the way to the young man's side to support him: "Understood, I understand. The savior I met was a thief who coveted my recipes. Anyone who encounters such a thing will feel sad." , Brother Hanxue, don't think too much."

"You, you are too soft-hearted. You met the thief's son and daughter again tonight. Are you in trouble again?"

Qi Hanxue's breath was stagnant, and he said in a low voice, "Wan'er, it has nothing to do with them."

He said it was irrelevant, but his face was full of misery, he closed his eyes and shook his head, as if he didn't want to mention it.

Seeing Ying Yuanwan, a surge of anger immediately rushed into her heart: "You still say it's irrelevant? I think they did it on purpose. Knowing that you are about to participate in the Lingding Conference, they deliberately went to the gate of the association to disturb your mind!"

"No, these two people can't be forgiven lightly—Brother Hanxue, I'll drive them out of Fengshan City, so that you can't see it or worry about it!"

Qi Hanxue grabbed Ying Yuanwan's hand.

The young man's palm was slender and hot.

Ying Yuanwan was stunned for a moment, only feeling the heat flowing from her palm to her cheeks, and when she met Qi Hanxue's dark eyes, her pretty face suddenly flushed.

"They're not bad people," Qi Hanxue said with a painful expression, "They...they just went the wrong way for a while. I came to the association today, presumably because they planned to ask me for the recipe. I heard that they also signed up for the Lingding Conference. It’s because there are dishes that are not available at hand, that’s why I thought of me.”

"Wan'er, I actually left a copy of this recipe at Xu's family. They will find it when they go back and look for it. Let them compare it. Let's not pursue it. It can be regarded as... repaying the three years. Kindness..."

Ying Yuanwan took a deep breath and raised her voice: "What, you left a copy for them?!"

Qi Hanxue nodded.

"How, how can this be possible?" The girl was so angry that her chest kept heaving, "It's too much, too much, they made you like this, and you have the face to block the door of the association to ask for the recipe?"

"No, I must drive them out, these two people can no longer stay!"

Qi Hanxue opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ying Yuanwan's decisive wave.

The young girl's eyes were fiery, and she patted her chest with conviction.

"Brother Hanxue, stop talking, leave everything to me."

She ran down the stairs in a hurry, and she seemed to be running towards the bedroom of the president of the association. She actually wanted to help her lover drive the Xu family siblings out of the city, and she couldn't wait for a moment.

Qi Hanxue stood on the attic and looked at the girl's back. After a long time, the tenderness on his face gradually dissipated.

The young man in black turned his back to the moonlight, the corners of his mouth that were hidden in the shadows slowly raised.

"It's so coaxing."

He murmured in a low voice, full of complacency in his tone: "The daughter of the president of the shit association, she is more deceitful than that little girl from the Xu family."

……

The night passed quickly.

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Ying woke up when the sky was only getting brighter.

She first practiced knife skills in the back kitchen for a while, and while carrying water, she practiced spooning in the backyard for a while. Finally, when Yu Xiaotan and Xu Qing woke up, a steaming breakfast was already set on the dining table.

A bowl of rice porridge, two small dishes, and an egg custard for each person.

The dishes are minced meat, beans, and three shredded cold salad. The porridge is sweet corn porridge. Delicious and very tasty.

Yu Xiaotan drank the porridge, picked up a chopstick and three shreds, and immediately understood.

Xu Ying's basic skills are very good. It is true that she has practiced all the year round, but the hands-on skills are also true. But judging from the determination and momentum shown by the girl, Yu Xiaotan believes that she can get back what she should have before the Spirit Cauldron Conference. state.

And she is very smart, she can see through a little bit.

Much stronger than Wang Dali, almost catching up with Wang Zirong from Qingzhou.

Yu Xiaotan decided to teach her a few tricks in addition to the recipes, and it will not be a problem to set up a small spiritual kitchen restaurant in the future.

If you learn fast enough, it is not impossible to teach Lei Ting Taoism.

As for where to go in the future, it depends on the girl's understanding.

The whole morning was spent in the back kitchen, where Yu Xiaotan directed Xu Ying to kill and plan fish, and practice knife skills by slicing them.He knew that what Xu Ying was most eager to learn at the moment was to learn the skill of grilling, but he started teaching the skill of the knife because he wanted to see the girl's temperament.

Xu Ying didn't complain at all, she had been studying very seriously.

She learned whatever Yu Xiaotan taught, and she worked harder than Wang Dali and Wang Zirong.

When she was immersed in her studies, time always passed quickly. When Xu Ying felt a little loose in her arms, when she looked up, the midday sun was already shining high above her head.

"Okay, let's rest for a while," Yu Xiaotan said with a smile, "Haste makes waste. Although it is said that we must make up for the previous efforts as soon as possible, we must combine work and rest."

"What do you want to eat at noon? I'll make it, and you can help me. It just so happens that I want to ask about something in detail..."

Saying that, Yu Xiaotan took out a scroll from the storage ring.

It's a portrait.

But before he unfolded the portrait, Xu Qing suddenly pushed the door in with a dark face, holding a burning stick in his hand, his eyes were full of anger, and his expression was ugly, as if he was going to fight someone.

He said, "Sister, someone from the Association is here."
