Mr. Liu He was confused for a moment: "So, you really don't know me."
Xia Zhaoyi nodded.
"What about the man outside? What is his name?"
"The surname is Shen. Uncle Liu can just call him Mr. Shen."
"Mr. Shen," Mr. Liu He said in a low voice, paused, and then said, "You just said that it should have nothing to do with you, but how about the trouble with them? How serious is it?"
Xia Zhaoyi looked at the big man on the bed.
The big man was half-opening his eyes, trying hard to listen to their conversation with his remaining consciousness. After hearing the words, he gritted his teeth and got up: "Maybe it's serious. I'd better leave first so that I won't be a burden to you."
"Don't get excited yet," Mr. Liu He said, "your wound is bleeding again."
"It's not a drag," Xia Zhaoyi said, "You rest first and wait until your injury is healed. I'll go see how the medicine is."
The big man nodded and said thank you several times.
Mr. Liuhe is very particular about life, especially when it comes to food. In addition to the regular ingredients in the kitchen, the utensils and utensils in the kitchen are a set of fine Qingdong porcelain.
Xia Zhaoyi added hot water to the pot and added firewood to the stove. When he came back, he sat behind the medicine stove in front of the door.
When Shen Lie came out of the room, he saw her staring at a hoe leaning in the corner.
The gentle evening breeze blew the tips of her ponytail, and the black night clothes made her whiter. The cold and warm light of the moon fell on her eyebrows, as clear as a snowy lake.
But it was so peaceful, and he seemed to be able to hear movement, like the stars flowing into the sea, the waves chasing jade white, the rhyme and rhythm of the ancient poems, all embodied in her gaze in his gaze.
After a while of silence, Shen Lie walked away, finally breaking the silence: "Ah Li."
Xia Zhaoyi came back to her senses and curved her lips: "It's done."
Shen Lie sat down on the short bamboo stool next to him and said, "Sorry, I didn't know that was your friend and hurt him."
Xia Zhaoyi smiled and looked at his clothes. They really fit him.
"Mr. Liu He and my father are old friends. I call him Uncle Liu. Brother Liu Yong joined the army in his early years and has been following my elder brother. Unfortunately, he died in the battle early." Xia Zhaoyi said.
Shen Lie paused: "My clothes are..."
"It looks so good on you," Xia Zhaoyi smiled, then suddenly remembered something, she took out a small object from her arms, handed it to her and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, this is a gift for you."
It is a small long box made of exquisite wood carvings, and it also carries the body temperature of the girl.
Shen Lie calmed his heartbeat and opened the small box with his slender fingers. An elegant and delicate fragrance that he had never smelled before filled his nose.
"I asked Mr. Liu He for the spices he specifically asked for," Xia Zhaoyi said. "I didn't expect to come back to look for him again, so I kept it with me. There are very few varieties of this kind, and Mr. Liu He said he would not make them again in the future. Of course, you If he likes it, I can still convince him."
Several pieces of spices are neatly placed in the box, and there are Mr. Liuhe's engraved characters on them. Each stroke is everyone's style.
Xia Zhaoyi said such a gift lightly, but Shen Lie knew how precious it was.
It's a pity that he has nothing now. In order to be light and simple, he has thrown away everything he can. Even the armor and sword he wore along the way, he exchanged it with a brave tailor for this night clothes.
In other words, he did not expect such a reunion in Fushang County. As early as when he was still driving on the left, in order to deal with Guo Yu, he was ready for a bloody storm in Fushang County.
Later, he thought Du Xuan was here, so he chased her with great concern. He never thought that what was waiting for him in Fushang County was the beauty he had long thought he had missed at Bajiang Lake.
If he had known it was her earlier, he would have brought those pieces of jade that he had wanted to give to her.
After closing the box and looking up to see the girl's beautiful face, Shen Lie suppressed his heartbeat and said seriously: "Thank you A Li for the gift. I came in a hurry this time and I didn't prepare a gift. I will make up for it later."
"Okay," Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile, "By the way, are you hungry? I suddenly remembered that I haven't eaten anything in a day."
"How can this be done?" Shen Lie raised his eyebrows, "My stomach can bear it."
As he said that, he looked back at the kitchen behind him, stood up and said, "I'll go and talk to Mr. Liu He and let me use him as the kitchen."
Without waiting for Xia Zhaoyi to speak, she stepped down the steps with long legs and walked away quickly.
"..."
Xia Zhaoyi laughed. She just mentioned it casually. She wanted Shen Lie to help look after the medicine, and she went to make something to eat and make another one for him.
However, even though she knew that Mr. Liuhe would definitely lend them the kitchen, she thought it would be better to go and talk to him first.
Now that Shen Lie is gone, let him make the final decision.
As expected, Mr. Liu He readily agreed. He thanked Shen Lie and left. When he came out of the small side hall, he paused for a moment and turned back to look at Mr. Liu He: "Sir, I see you have quite a collection of books. Do you have any books on cooking?"
"Yes, they are all on the second row of the third bookshelf from the right, but," Mr. Liu He frowned, "neither you nor Ali know how to cook?"
"……know a bit."
Mr. Liu He looked at him. The temperament and elegance of the young man was not just as simple as his handsome appearance that was much better than ordinary people. His every move and gesture showed that he had been pampered since childhood and had a good family background.
It’s not surprising that he says he can’t cook.
Let the young people figure it out on their own.
"Take that "Meal Book", it's easy to use." Mr. Liu He said.
"Thank you sir." Shen Lie said.
When it came out on the bookshelf, Shen Lie easily found the "Diary Book".
It's not that he doesn't know how to cook. When he was sleeping in the wild, he could hunt, catch fish, bake, and make soup. These were not difficult tasks for him, but when he really wanted to enter the kitchen, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to distinguish some of the sequential processes. .
Xia Zhaoyi hasn't eaten for a day now, so he doesn't really plan to learn anything right now, but he will feel better if he has a reference.
Before coming out, he subconsciously put his left hand slightly behind his back, not wanting Xia Zhaoyi to see the book.
Although I didn't think it was anything, when I was asked about it by the girl in the past, I still showed a rare hint of discomfort.
Xia Zhaoyi looked at the book he took out: "This is..."
"Recipe." Shen Lie said.
"Well."
"Don't get me wrong, I can make some food," Shen Lie suddenly felt at a loss, "Just... borrow it and read it."
Xia Zhaoyi smiled, stood up and said, "It just so happens that I can also cook food. How about we cook it together?"
Shen Lie frowned slightly, wanting to refuse, but he didn't want her to continue to be hungry, and he didn't want her mouth to suffer.
He has always been a confident person, but he has no confidence at all in his first official cooking experience. He can definitely grill meat and make fish soup.
And people like him never have to worry about whether their cooking skills are good or bad. Who would have thought that one day, he would worry about cooking...
"...Okay," Shen Lie nodded without trying to show off, and said calmly, "I'll make some barbecue. When I get back, I'll send someone to bring some more silver to Mr. Liu He as money to buy meat."
