Don't mess with the little apprentice sister! She is greedy and immoral

This time, Lao He snorted even more dissatisfiedly.

Qin Zhen's curiosity was instantly piqued when she heard this, because from Lao He's reaction, it was obvious that the dumplings were even better than the noodles.

Unfortunately, apart from a snort of anger, Old He said nothing else.

No matter how curious Qin Zhen was, she had no choice but to continue watching.

Xiang Qing didn't care about the atmosphere at all. When he heard Lao He's hum, he asked Jing Xing curiously, "Does this boss only know how to hum?"

"He can also curse at people, and he's very fierce." Jing Xing's tone rose, and he sounded like he wanted to be beaten.

Upon hearing this, Lao He directly picked up a snow-white silverfish from the bucket on the side and threw it heavily on the chopping board with a "bang".

The sound was crisp and indeed very fierce.

Unfortunately, Jingxing and Xiang Qing were no longer afraid, only the innocent silver fish was beaten unconscious and could not move anymore.

Qin Zhen didn't say anything, just looked at the fish and thought, is this something for dumplings? Or is it something for the mysterious "Noodles"?

Moreover, she had never seen this fish before, and wondered if it was a specialty of White Night City.

Lao He cleaned the fish skillfully.

His knife skills were so good that he could even peel off the thin layer of skin, leaving only the snow-white fish meat, which he mashed into a paste, then added salt and egg white to the paste and stirred it.

After doing this, he took out the shrimps.

The shrimp is the size of a palm, with a shell that is a deep dark gray, a bit like a black tiger shrimp, but the black is more translucent.

Shell the fresh shrimps, chop the shrimp meat finely, then set it aside.

What on earth is this for?

Qin Zhen was really confused. Could it be making dumpling filling?

But soon, Qin Zhen denied this answer because she saw Lao He add wine to the prepared fish paste and put it on high fire with the lid open to steam it.

As for the shrimp paste, no other processing was done on it.

"Do you like spicy food?" Lao He suddenly asked.

"Me? Eat."

Old He nodded and said nothing more. He just picked up a bowl from the basket on the side.

Qin Zhen took a look and saw something white floating in the red chili oil. It seemed to be... solidified lard?

After mixing the soaked lard with half of the shrimp paste, Lao He finally glanced at Qin Zhen calmly: "You know how to make dumplings, right?"

Qin Zhen suspected that if she said no, Lao He would kick her out.

So she nodded quickly and said, "Yes."

Lao He's complexion indeed looked better.

The dough prepared by Lao He is a whole circle larger than ordinary dough, and the dumplings made from it are about the size of a palm.

Qin Zhen noticed when she picked up the dumpling wrapper that the texture of the wrapper was a little off, but she couldn't tell what was wrong at first.

I could only continue making dumplings skillfully.

Lao He took advantage of this opportunity to make soup with the shrimp heads he had just removed.

By the time Qin Zhen finished wrapping the dumplings, Lao He had already prepared the soup.

After all the preparations were ready, Qin Zhen finally witnessed how powerful Lao He was.

The fish meat paste is sieved into long noodles, slightly shaped in hot water, cut in half vertically, stuffed with shrimp paste, and rolled again to make fish and shrimp noodles, which are then put into the boiled shrimp head soup.

On the other side, add oil and two spoons of shrimp soup to the pot, put the lid on the pot, and start frying the dumplings.

"Go and sit down." Old He had no intention of giving Qin Zhen any instructions from beginning to end.

Qin Zhen was not at all dissatisfied with this. Instead, she had already started thinking about these two dishes.

Soon, the fried dumplings and the "non-noodles" were served.

Qin Zhen was really curious about the secret of the dumpling dough, so she started by frying the dumplings.

The dumpling skin has a refreshing and delicate texture, as if... there is a fragrance of taro?

No, not taro.

It is something more crispy than taro, so when the dough absorbs the soup from the shrimp heads, the taste remains fresh and not greasy.

The lard in the filling has melted, blending with the chili oil to evenly coat the dumplings with a unique flavor. Coupled with the golden and crispy crust, Qin Zhen was at a loss for words and could only think of how delicious it was.

As for fish noodles, Qin Zhen originally thought that noodles made from meat, no matter how much they looked like noodles, would not have that chewy texture.

But she was wrong.

With the addition of shrimp meat, the chewy texture of hand-rolled noodles is well restored, and it even has a bit more chewiness.

Qin Zhen was extremely satisfied with this meal.

But no matter how satisfied she was, Qin Zhen still couldn't understand why Jing Xing brought her here to learn how to cook.

However, when Old He left the stove and looked at Qin Zhen again, he would occasionally fall into a trance.

That's not looking at Qin Zhen.

It's through her that I'm looking at someone else's shadow.

"Do you remember any old friends?" At this moment, Jingxing, who was full and satisfied, suddenly asked leisurely.

Lao He was honest. He didn't find any excuses to evade the question. Instead, he nodded and said, "Yes."

"Who?"

"Maybe you have heard of her name. Her name is Li Yun."

"Do you know Fairy Li Yun?" Qin Zhen asked in surprise.

That person was from a hundred years ago, how could Lao He know him? And he was... an old friend?

But there isn't any trace of a cultivator on Old He.

"Yes, she helped me come up with these two dishes. She used to like to wear your hair in a bun and dress like yours. Although she was a monk, she didn't treat other races as aliens. She was friendly and warm. It's a pity... I haven't heard from her since then."

"!!!"

After hearing this, Qin Zhen had no time to lament that the Fairy Di Liyun described by Lao He was completely different from the one she had met.

She was horrified by—

Her hairstyle and clothes were all arranged by her second senior brother Jingxing.

At the time, she thought this was to make Xiao Yan closer to them, but is there a possibility -

Did Jingxing take Lao He's reaction into account at that time?

Qin Zhen somewhat understood why the original book said Jing Xing was one of the most difficult people to deal with. After all, you never know how far he has planned.

"How did you get to know her?" Jingxing chatted.

It seems that because he hasn't talked about his old friend with others for a long time, Lao He still has a strong desire to talk.

After hearing Jingxing's greeting, he simply wiped his hands with a towel and sat down at the square table.

"That day, she came to my stall to eat, but she didn't bring any money, so she said she would teach me two dishes to pay off her debt."

"You agreed?"

Lao He shook his head: "Oh, how is that possible? I was the one who got free food, so I rushed over right away!"

"And then?" Qin Zhen asked.

"And then...she knocked me out."

Qin Zhen: “…”

Can this really be considered an old friend?

How did this story develop so magically?
