Chapter 390 Warmth

When Bai Suzhen heard Xu Xuan say this, she quickly reached out and grabbed Xu Xuan, "Official, don't you go, didn't the saint say that a gentleman stayed away from the kitchen?"

After hearing what Bai Suzhen said, Xu Xuan laughed and said, "Others have never read letters, so why did the wife of Mencius say this? The original meaning of the saint is that a gentleman cannot bear to see them killed when he is a beast that wants to be eaten, so he is often unwilling to go to the kitchen. It is not an excuse for some people to be lazy. These are some scholars in later generations who want to be lazy and deliberately misinterpret the original words of the saint."

Bai Suzhen listened to Xu Xuan's explanation and smiled helplessly, "Okay, okay, I can't say you are, but let me go to cook this food, so that you can save you from being clumsy and make bad food."

"Okay, let's go together." Seeing Bai Suzhen insisting, Xu Xuan had to take a step back and follow Bai Suzhen towards the kitchen in the back hall.

Bai Suzhen came to the kitchen and prepared to choose vegetables. Xu Xuan saw a layer of sweat oozing from Bai Suzhen's head, and sighed slightly, snatching the vegetable from Bai Suzhen's hand. "I'll do it, you're the way you look now, so take a rest."

Bai Suzhen originally wanted to fight for it, but when her body moved, a layer of sweat appeared on her body. She stood in the room and felt it was so stuffy. Xu Xuan saw Bai Suzhen's appearance and pushed Bai Suzhen out of the room with a smile. "That's it. Judging from the current situation of my wife, I'm afraid I can't cook anymore. I think you're going to wait outside, please."

"But the official..." Bai Suzhen said while being pushed out of the house by Xu Xuan.

"Nothing, but now you just wait outside honestly." Xu Xuan pushed Bai Suzhen and said

Bai Suzhen looked at the kitchen door that was tightly closed behind her back, and had to shake her head helplessly, turn around and sit on the stone bench next to her. A gust of night wind blew, which brought a hint of coolness.

Xu Xuan was already busy in this room, but he didn't tell any lies just now. When he was young, he did cook with his sister, but this was his memory in his previous life. In this life, Xu Jiaorong, who had studied in the book, never let Xu Xuan and the others go to the kitchen, and they never wash the bowls. Let's not talk about cooking.

At this time, Xu Xuan quickly cut the vegetables on the chopping board, then poured the oil into the iron pot. As the flames under the fire were licking the bottom of the pot, Xu Xuan sighed quietly. Now in this situation, he always felt a sense of being nervous, and always felt that someone seemed to be calculating the couple.

Xu Xuan came to this world without drastic changes. Until now, he was similar to Xu Xian's experience in the previous life of the Legend of White Snake. Although there were many different places, they were all small directions and roughly the direction of the veins. It was not that Xu Xuan did not have this ability, but that he had to be careful at this time. If he changed the development of this era and deviated from the original story structure of the Legend of White Snake, then what advantages he had as a time traveler?

But even so, this era is very different from the dynasties he once remembered. For example, Qin Hui became the mainstay of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Yue Fei was valued by the current officials. The most bizarre thing is that the current officials have changed the cowardly character of the Song Dynasty officials and become resolute and strong. In order to stay in Lin'an, they even shouted the slogan that only Ming Dynasty had, "The emperor guards the country's gates, and the king dies in the country."

Fortunately, the current official family made the Song Dynasty resist the Mongolian that appeared decades earlier. The Jin Kingdom, which should have bullied the Song Dynasty for decades, has been completely destroyed by the Mongols. This change made the Song Dynasty a little unfamiliar in Xu Xuan's eyes. Is this still the Song Dynasty with a strong literary style and a luxurious and lewd style, and a peaceful place?

Xu Xuan frowned and thought about this. He smelled a faint burnt smell on his nose. Then he realized that the dishes in the pot were a little muddy. He quickly pulled out the dishes in a hurry. Looking at the burnt dishes, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and brought the food to the stone table in the yard. Bai Suzhen was holding her head with her hands, quietly looking at the moon like a eyebrows in the sky.

"My lady has eaten," Xu Xuan put the rice in front of Bai Suzhen and said with a smile.

"Ah, you are here!" Bai Suzhen came to her senses at this moment. She seemed to be dazed just now, but in fact she was absorbing the moonlight here. Although only the fifteenth moon is the most abundant, it is naturally easy for a monster like Bai Suzhen to absorb the essence of the moonlight. However, because Bai Suzhen learned orthodox Taoist magic, she usually did not absorb the moonlight. Because Taoism emphasizes the harmony of yin and yang, the moonlight is cold, and although it was fast at the beginning, it was extremely difficult when she achieved the Golden Elixir Avenue. Most of the demon cultivators who practice orthodox Taoism would not absorb the moonlight.

Of course, there are exceptions for this. For example, Bai Suzhen now has the heat on her body, and she can only suck in the moonlight to restrain her.

Bai Suzhen said, and saw the obviously browned dish on the table, and couldn't help but say, "Hey, is this a new dish made by the official?"

Xu Xuan held his forehead and said, "My wife, am I just burned? Don't you have to laugh at me."

When Bai Suzhen heard this, she was afraid that Xu Xuan would be angry, so she picked up a vegetable, put it in her mouth, chewed it carefully and said, "Official, although this dish is burnt, it is delicious."

Xu Xuan shook his head helplessly, pinched the vegetable leaves left by Bai Suzhen in the mouth, and tasted them carefully. Although it was not burnt, the dish still tasted a bit smoky. "The dish is so muddy, you shouldn't eat it anymore. I'll go and stir-fry some dishes for you."

He stood up and walked towards the kitchen with the dish. Bai Suzhen, who was standing beside him, reached out and grabbed Xu Xuan, "Officials, this dish can actually be eaten, don't go, and there are no other dishes at home..."

"Ah, there's no food?"

"Well, there's no food anymore. Usually Qing'er is responsible for buying vegetables, but she's gone, I forgot to buy it." Bai Suzhen looked at Xu Xuan and said embarrassedly.

"No, I'm going to look for it," Xu Xuan said frowned, but when he turned his head, he accidentally saw Bai Suzhen's hand behind him, quietly pinching a hand. He suddenly woke up. This was because his wife didn't want her to cook.

"Don't go, there's no one left." Bai Suzhen seemed to know Xu Xuan saw her casting spells and said with a smile.

"Forget it, since that's the case, we can only eat this baked dish." Xu Xuan shook his head helplessly.
