"Are you hungry?"
Zhong Wen turned to look at Shangguan Mingyue, and saw that the eldest lady's face was slightly red, her jade hand was caressing her lower abdomen, and her expression was a little embarrassed.
"It's okay." Shangguan Mingyue hesitated and said insincerely.
When Zhong Wen saw her expression, he suddenly understood. He knew that he had been immersed in defeating Lin Bei, preventing the destruction of the world, and breaking the seven-day cycle for several weeks, but he had neglected the body and mind of the young lady next to him.
Feel.
These days, Shangguan Mingyue has been following him silently, doing what he can, acting extremely cautiously, for fear of bringing extra burden to him, and even his former temperament of arguing has become much restrained unconsciously.
As the eldest daughter of Shengyu Trading Company, she has been held in the palm of Shangguan Tong's hands since she was a child. Such a life is obviously not pleasant, but she has never complained.
For many seven days, the two of them traveled day and night, running here and there without even touching a drop of water, let alone stopping for a full meal.
In fact, once your cultivation reaches the realm of spiritual masters, if you don't eat or drink for a few days, it won't cause much damage to your body.
Once seven days have passed, the time will be reset and the physical condition will return to the same as before. However, when thinking of Shangguan Mingyue's reputation as "the second foodie in the imperial capital", Zhong Wen suddenly realized that she has been following him these days.
What a hard and unbearable life.
Neglected!
A strong feeling of guilt couldn't help but surge into his heart. Zhong Wen couldn't help but look at the eldest lady with a little more tenderness and a little more pity in his eyes.
"I'm hungry." He suddenly grinned, "Let's eat something here!"
"Don't you have to hurry?" Shangguan Mingyue's big bright eyes moved, as if there was a faint expectation.
"It's probably hopeless here." Zhong Wen shook his head, "I haven't figured out where to go next, so why not take advantage of the meal and make a good plan."
"Okay, okay, if you are really hungry." The eldest lady replied proudly, "I will reluctantly accompany you to have a meal."
Why haven't I found her so cute before?
Looking at the beauty's duplicity, Zhong Wen couldn't stop laughing. His heart was like a clear sky after a rain, and he felt much brighter and brighter without realizing it.
In the past, he had always felt that although Shangguan Mingyue had outstanding appearance, a powerful figure in the country, and a smart mind, she was also unruly and self-willed, loved to argue, had little tempers from time to time, and had many of the bad habits of a wealthy lady.
However, after getting along with her these days, Zhong Wen had to admit that many of his perceptions of her were inaccurate.
Although Miss Shangguan was born in a noble family, she can endure hardships and understand the general situation. She often advances and retreats at critical moments without causing a burden to others. In addition, her gentle and feminine side gradually emerges, and she is very comfortable to get along with. She is straightforward and instructive.
Lingering and forgetting to leave.
This also made Zhong Wen's affection for her surge, and the relationship between the two quickly heated up. The original ripples became more rippled, and the ambiguous feelings gradually showed signs of getting out of control.
It should be noted that it is easy for men to have a crush on women.
What's more, she is a peerless beauty who is extremely graceful and shy.
Shaking his head and putting aside the messy thoughts, Zhong Wen took out a large piece of meat and many pieces of tofu from the ring and began to mash them up.
"Is this... ham?" Shangguan Mingyue wrinkled her delicate nose, took a deep breath, and asked curiously, "Do you want to bake ham?"
"You'll know later." Zhong Wen smiled at her mysteriously.
"Isn't it so rare to be nagging?" Shangguan Mingyue rolled her eyes at him angrily, but she was so charming and charming that it made people feel far away and couldn't help themselves.
Zhong Wen's heart skipped a beat, he quickly composed himself, then lowered his head and got busy.
He took out the dragon-slaying knife, split the whole ham in half, and quickly dug twenty-four holes of almost the same size in it.
Immediately afterwards, with a "swish, swish, swish" movement, he actually cut the tofu into a round ball shape of almost the same size, stuffed it into the holes of the ham one by one, and tied the two halves of the ham together again.
The dexterity is simply incredible.
Then, he neatly set up the stove, placed a steamer on it, added some clean water that he got from somewhere, lit a spiritual fire underneath with a spiritual pattern plate, and started steaming the ham.
Looking at his fancy operations, Shangguan Mingyue felt that her eyes were opened and she was so novel that she even forgot about her hunger for a moment.
After finishing the ham for the time being, Zhong Wen took out some vegetables and started working on the stove again.
Not long after, the aroma of ham came out of the steamer, mixed with the smell of vegetables on the side, and the aroma spread far and wide, refreshing the heart and mind.
Shangguan Mingyue is a foodie, and the smell aroused the greed in her stomach. She couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and tapped the cave wall with her slender fingers, her beautiful eyes full of anticipation.
"It's almost done." After an unknown amount of time, Zhong Wen suddenly extinguished the flame, opened the ham, dug out a tofu ball, put it in a bowl, and handed it to Shangguan Mingyue, "You have to use spiritual fire for this dish.
If it is steamed with ordinary flames, it will take four hours to taste. Come on, try it while it's hot!"
Shangguan Mingyue couldn't wait to take the bowl and spoon. Before she started eating, she felt the fragrant aroma and almost drooled.
"Hmm~"
She barely maintained her elegant demeanor, scooped up a spoonful of tofu and brought it to her lips, swallowed it gently, and felt that the tenderness of the tofu mixed with the fragrance of the ham was the only unparalleled delicacy she had ever experienced before.
Although I was mentally prepared, I couldn't help but let out an intriguing gasp.
"How about it, Xiao Yueyue?" Zhong Wen saw her expression and couldn't help but smile and joked, "Does this dish of mine suit you?"
"Alright, it's not bad." Shangguan Mingyue realized that she was a little out of sorts, and couldn't help but blush and roll her eyes at him, "The tofu tastes good, but what about the ham?"
"The ham is just an auxiliary ingredient, and the tofu is the ingredient." Zhong Wen explained, "After cooking, the ham is useless."
"It's a pity." Shangguan Mingyue casually expressed her regrets, and then immersed herself in the tofu again. She ate up one tofu ball and wiped it clean, then stepped forward and dug out another one. It took nearly a hundred years.
In one breath, less than half of the twenty-four tofu balls were eliminated.
"Slow down, slow down, no one will compete with you." Zhong Wen placed a plate of vegetables in front of her with a smile, "Don't just eat tofu, it tastes better with some vegetables."
"Well, well, you should eat some too."
At this time, Shangguan Mingyue acted like a starving ghost and was reincarnated. The spoon in his hand was flying like flying, almost turning into a phantom, and her little cherry mouth never stopped for a moment.
However, I don’t know if it’s because of her appearance, but even if she devoured her food, the young lady’s posture was still pleasing to the eye, completely different from that of ordinary villains.
"You, why don't you eat?"
After a while, looking at the twenty-four empty holes on the ham and Zhong Wen who had never touched the bowl or spoon, she wiped the corners of her mouth and asked a little embarrassedly.
"This dish was originally made for you." Zhong Wen shook his head, "As long as you are happy eating it."
"It's been a long time since I've tasted such delicious food." Shangguan Mingyue's pretty face turned red, her eyes flashing with crystal light. "This dish is unique in concept and has endless aftertaste. It is simply the best in the world. I wonder if it has a name?"
"Yes." Zhong Wen looked directly into her eyes and said word by word, "This dish is called 'Twenty-Four Bridges on a Moonlit Night'."
It turns out that this unique skill of steaming tofu with ham is exactly the delicacy he learned from "Huang Rong's Recipe" "Twenty-Four Bridges on a Bright Moon Night". When Hong Qigong tasted the tofu, he was full of praise and accepted Guo Jing as his disciple.
It's just a matter of course.
"Clang!"
Hearing the words "Twenty-Four Bridges on a Moonlit Night", Shangguan Mingyue's delicate body trembled, and the bowl and spoon in her hands fell to the ground. Two lines of crystal tears flowed from her big bright eyes.?
