Xue Xichen accepted the compliments from both of them unceremoniously. She touched the handle of the crossbow and felt a bulge. She raised her eyebrows lightly, revealing a touch of pride, "Ying, be careful!"
Before he finished speaking, there were only a few "swish" sounds piercing the air, and the five golden darts were fired in unison, hitting the red heart with arrows, and were firmly nailed there, while the dart bodies trembled slightly.
Unexpectedly, the crossbow actually had hidden secrets. The Phantom was shocked, "This... this crossbow actually has a secret weapon hidden..."
"Hahahahahaha -" Boss Tie laughed happily, "Surprise? When I first saw this design, I was also very surprised! That's why I said Girl Xue is a genius!"
"It's not just hidden weapons!"
Xue Xichen said proudly: "This bow also contains Xuanjing iron wire, which can fly over the walls and bear the weight of two people. And the most ingenious thing about this bow is that although it has built-in mechanisms, it does not increase the weight of the bow at all."
Its own weight is as light as a thin wing. This is the advantage of Wujin..."
Phantom stretched out his hand, "Can you show it to me?"
"Of course!" Xue Xichen handed the small black-gold crossbow to Phantom. While Phantom was checking the golden crossbow repeatedly, she turned to Boss Tie and said, "Boss Tie, thank you! This bow is so well made! It's better than mine.
The imagination is even more perfect! With this bow for self-defense in the future, I won’t have to be afraid!”
"Hahahahahahaha -" Boss Tie laughed heartily, "Girl, the most important thing is that you like it!" Suddenly, he showed a flattering expression again, and said with a look of three feet, "Girl, it is better to choose the day than to hit it. Today you will get a treasure.
Gong, it’s worth celebrating, why don’t you cook for me yourself!”
Xue Xichen couldn't help but laugh. She was so old, but she was still thinking about the food on her table. What an old glutton! However, Boss Tie also worked hard for her crossbow for so many days, so she should be thanked.
Suddenly he became a boss.
"Okay!" She responded cheerfully, "I will cook today!" Turning around, she ordered, "Ying, you will go back to Xiaoyao Building in a while and pick up Xiao Liuyue."
Phantom was admiring the exquisite craftsmanship and exquisite design of this small black gold crossbow. Hearing Xue Xichen's words, he nodded and replied: "Okay!"
Unexpectedly, Boss Tie was even more impatient than Xue Xichen and had already begun to drive people away, "Without further ado, boy, hurry up and pick up Xiao Xiao! I'm just waiting for his three jars of fine wine. Let me have a few drinks with you."
Woolen cloth!"
"Boss Tie, you and senior brother, you are both drunkards!"
Xue Xichen shook her head helplessly. She didn't understand why a man always had something to do with wine when he had a meal. When he ate and drank, the strong alcohol completely covered up the fragrance of the food, so there was no taste left in the food.
"good!"
Phantom responded, handed the black gold crossbow back to Xue Xichen, turned around and walked out of Qianjin Iron Shop to look for Xiao Liuyue.
…
"Come on! Come on! Come on! Salt and pepper crayfish!"
Xue Xichen walked out of the kitchen carrying hot and fragrant crayfish. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Boss Tie and Xiao Liuyue holding hands and toasting each other. Xue Xichen's eyebrows twitched and her eyes glanced at the phantom who was sitting silently drinking.
Phantom noticed Xue Xichen's gaze, stood up and greeted her, took the crayfish in her hand, and said gently: "Xichen, you are tired! I'll come!"
"Thanks!"
Xue Xichen unceremoniously handed over the task of serving the dishes. She glanced at Boss Tie and Xiao Liuyue who were drinking lively, her eyebrows twitched, and she frowned and said: "Drunkard! Slutty! Stinky drunkard."
! A bunch of stinky drunkards! Once you have alcohol, you don’t know anything! They’re so annoying!”
"Xichen, don't be angry, I'll be with you."
Phantom smiled slightly, put the crayfish on the dining table, pulled out a stool and asked Xue Xichen to sit down. Xue Xichen was not polite and enjoyed Phantom's service. She put a crayfish into Phantom's bowl and said to Phantom
: "Shadow, eat! Ignore these two drunkards!"
"Junior sister, you are partial!"
Xiao Liuyue leaned her head from the side and accused Xue Xichen of being partial, "You pick food for Ying, but not for senior brother! You are partial! Very partial!"
Xue Xichen rolled her eyes and looked down on Xiao Liuyue, "Do you still need to eat vegetables? I see you are full after drinking!"
"Oh, Girl Xue is angry!" Boss Tie laughed loudly, put down the wine bowl, and patted Xiao Liuyue on the shoulder, "Eat food! Eat food! Eat food! Don't waste our efforts on Girl Xue!"
"Okay! Listen to Boss Tie and eat the food! Eat the food!"
Xiao Liuyue put down the wine bowl, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a crayfish, peeled off the shells, and enjoyed it. She was full of praise, "Junior sister's craftsmanship is truly unparalleled in the world! No wonder Boss Tie can't put it down! It's great!"
Eat! It’s delicious!”
"That's right! You can't get such good food in the palace!" While eating, Boss Tie gave Xue Xichen a thumbs up and expressed his admiration, "Girl, why don't you stop running a brothel and open a restaurant instead! I believe it.
, with your cooking skills, guests will come like a cloud!"
"No!" Xue Xichen refused without thinking, "Cooking is originally a kind of enjoyment, but once it becomes a life skill, it becomes a constraint. In the end, delicious dishes become unpalatable.
Already."
What's the meaning?
Boss Tie was a rough guy and didn't understand. Instead, Xiao Liuyue laughed and said, "Junior sister, it's really like what you would say! Is it possible that you want to open a brothel for the rest of your life?"
"Why not?" Xue Xichen asked, peeling off a shrimp and putting it in Xiao Liuyue's bowl. She saw that her bowl was full of lobster meat that Phantom had peeled for her, so she peeled another shrimp and handed it to Phantom's bowl.
She wiped the oil on her hands with a handkerchief, and said to Xiao Liuyue with bright eyes: "Xiaoyao Building is everyone's hope. If Xiaoyao Building closes down, where do you want those poor homeless girls to go? Or
Are there those Jianghu people who are shamed by the righteous people? Are they allowed to roam the world and be hunted down by the so-called righteous people? I said, Xiaoyao Tower is everyone’s home! As long as I, Aunt Xue, are here for a day,
Xiaoyao Building will continue to open! Until everyone has their own place to belong and this place is no longer needed!"
"You," Xiao Liuyue rubbed Xue Xichen's head with a fond look on her face, "you don't want to stay in Xiaoyao Building for the rest of your life?"
Xiao Liuyue's question was also the question in Phantom's heart. He couldn't wait to know, was Xue Xichen really willing to live in Xiaoyao Building for the rest of his life?
"Why not?" Xue Xichen asked, "Where can I go after leaving Xiaoyao Tower?"
Yes! Xiaoyao Building is not only the home of the girls in the building, but also her home. Apart from Xiaoyao Building, she has nothing. Xiaoyao Building is her only sustenance in this cold and lonely world.
"Hey, okay, why is the topic becoming more and more serious!"
Seeing Xue Xichen's unkind expression, Tie Lao laughed and smoothed things over. He smiled brightly and said to Xue Xichen: "Xue Xichen, good cooking skills! Good cooking skills! This salt and pepper crayfish is so delicious! My mother-in-law can't cook it so well.
Food to eat! Whoever’s son will be happy to marry you in the future!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly became weird.
