Otherworldly Pastry Chef

It was the first time Nan Nan approached Hei Xiao's house, let alone walked in.Out of instinctive fear of Hei Xiao, he hid behind Wu Hua when he entered the courtyard gate.

But soon, Nan Nan's mood was relieved to the greatest extent because Ginkgo made him a cup of green peach and plum tea.Honey is added inside, and the sweetness is milder. A spoonful of jam, a bowl of water, and half a spoonful of honey are just the right amount.

"Drink it well!" Nan Nan held the bowl, and after taking the first sip and being amazed, she drank the rest in one gulp.

Ginkgo brought over Ruyi Purple Potato Rolls.

"Why do you drink so fast? Are you thirsty? Here, try it, it's delicious. Don't drink this, I cooked fish porridge."

Wu Hua watched Bai Guo put things on the table, feeling a little sorry.

"Binguo, we are visiting your house, and we need you to be so busy. I'm so sorry."

Bai Guo smiled: "Don't be embarrassed. I'm very happy. Hei Xiao is also very happy. He went fishing early in the morning. He also transferred a few big river prawns. But it's relatively rare, I can only make steamed eggs , It will be ready in a while. You should eat porridge and purple potato rolls first. And Hei Xiao made roasted pork legs, and Hei Xiao’s roast meat is the best. You must eat more!"

After eating, Nan Nan couldn't think of so many things in her mind.Eat purple potato rolls and drink fish porridge.He ignored the fact that Wu Hua was already up to help Bai Guo.However, while eating, he still did not forget to praise Ginkgo's good craftsmanship. After Hei Xiao personally served the roasted pork leg slices, Nan Nan talked to Hei Xiao for the first time.

"Thank you!"

Hei Xiao has never heard anyone other than Bai Guo thank him, this little female who is obviously afraid of her actually thanked herself, these changes are all because of Xiao Guo.He nodded, then turned to look at Ginkgo who was explaining to Wu Hua how to bake rice cakes, his heart seemed to be filled with something.He hadn't thought about what happiness felt like before, but now he felt that he had a little bit of happiness.

Some green peach juice is put in the sauce of the baked rice cake brush, and the soup made from the skeleton of the flamingo and pork bone is blended with two kinds of herbs.The nian gao is cut into hawthorn-sized pieces and put on wooden strips. When it is baked golden, it is brushed with fire songbird oil, and after it is slightly charred, it is brushed with sauce.Wuhua took a bite of the first baked skewer.

"It's delicious. It's very chewy, very fragrant and very fragrant. It's much better than scones. You are so good at ginkgo, you thought of such a fresh way."

Bai Guo has always been willing to accept compliments on cooking: "Actually, I really have a talent for cooking. Hee hee. By the way, Xiaohua, I want to sell baked rice cakes in the market. Do you think I can sell them?"

Wu Hua nodded immediately: "Of course! It's so delicious, and it's so fragrant when roasted. Many people can't help it."

Ginkgo was happy: "Then I can make many different flavors. Put fruit in the rice cake, brush it with sweet sauce and roast it, brush it with spicy sauce, and bake it with meat pieces inside. In short, I can do it." There are so many kinds!"

Nan Nan was so envious over there: "Bingguo, you are so capable. My mother and father said that apart from eating and getting confused, they are also better than others in climbing trees, and they have no skills at all. I really envy you."

Wu Hua couldn't help teasing: "So your parents' expectation for you is not to meet a good male in the future?"

Although in the end, today's banquet guest, Hei Xiao, didn't say much, but he and Bai Guo were very happy.He even made an appointment with Wu Hua and Nan Nan to go fishing by the river the next day.Wu Hua was very interested in Hei Xiao's fishing method.Nan Nan was finally no longer afraid of Hei Xiao's expressionless face, and praised him several times, the roast pork was delicious.So they are all looking forward to tomorrow's fishing trip.

For the next three days, Wu Hua came to help Ginkgo steam rice cakes almost every day.Simply Baiguo asked Wu Hua to go to the market to sell baked rice cakes, so that Hei Xiao only had to watch them from the sidelines.Hei Xiao himself said that he was worried that no one would come near to buy rice cakes when he was standing by the stove.

Things went well.Hei Xiao personally made a larger clay stove and burned a basket of charcoal by himself.

"How can you two know everything? Baiguo can make so many delicious things, Hei Xiao, you can make almost any daily necessities! Even the charcoal can be burned so well." Helping Baiguo peel sweet potatoes, Wu Hua sighed.

After these three days of contact, Hei Xiao was able to ask and answer Wu Hua fluently.In the past, he was really not used to talking too much with people, even if he could feel that the other party did not reject him.After all, he doesn't want to cause trouble for others.

"Do whatever you can, do it yourself."

Wu Hua thought of Hei Xiao's situation, and sighed: "Actually, everyone is a bit too much. Obviously it's not your fault. But even if some people know it in their hearts, they won't say it on the surface. After all, most people still..."

Hei Xiao shook his head: "It's okay. I don't care anymore."

Wu Hua glanced at Ginkgo.

"That's right. Now that Baiguo is here, it will get better every day. My grandfather said that there are still five years before the whole family warrior competition will start. If you can get a good ranking by then, you will be able to change many people's minds." .”

Bai Guo turned her head and asked: "What is the whole clan warrior competition for? Is it a competition of fighting ability?"

Wu Hua replied: "It's not all like this. Every noble family will send the most capable males to compete. If Hei Xiao can participate in the competition and win the Hei family..."

Bai Guo immediately looked at Hei Xiao: "Hei Xiao, what do you think of this proposal?"

Hei Xiao frowned: "With my current ability, I'm afraid it won't work. And I don't want to provoke them."

Wu Hua nodded: "Actually, you are right to think so. My grandfather said that it should be difficult for you to participate."

Bai Guo didn't understand: "Why? You have to be selective in participating in the competition?"

"Of course. If everyone can go, it will take a long time. People are selected by each beast city, and then go to the competition. There are only five places at most in each city. But you have to know, every beast city In the city, there are just as many powerful people as there are, and they will naturally not let their family fall behind. Even if Hei Xiao does not have... that status, he has no possibility of being recommended. Unless the city lord gives special instructions, or the patriarch Hand-picked, otherwise it will be very difficult to compete with those families."

This topic is a bit sad, although Bai Guo really wanted to know how to make Hei Xiao better, but he didn't want to talk about it to make Hei Xiao feel bad.

As soon as the topic turned to whether we should set off tomorrow night and go to the market early to reserve a seat, there was a call from outside the courtyard: "Is Hei Xiao at home?"

It was rare for someone to knock on the door looking for him. Hei Xiao immediately stood up and opened the courtyard door.Seeing that it was the owner of the pottery shop, he was a little surprised.

"Are you looking for me?"

Fu Sui, the owner of the pottery shop, is a male orc in his 100s.Usually not very talkative, and listens to the words of his own female very much.It is often joked about being afraid of females.But he himself enjoys it, no, once he speaks, he can't do without his female.

"That... Hei Xiao. Do you still have the bag of Sophora japonica sauce you gave me a few days ago? My females like it very much and want me to come over and buy some more from you."

Unexpectedly, it would be this matter, Hei Xiao was momentarily stunned by the question.It was Bai Guo who reacted quickly and ran over.

"Sit inside quickly. There is still Huaihua sauce, but they are all made by myself, so they can't be sold. Your partner likes it, so I'll just give you some more."

Fu Sui shook his head again and again: "This won't work. My female said that it's not easy for you, and you can't try to take advantage. So you have to pay. Otherwise, I'll go back and talk about it."

So honestly speaking, Bai Guo was immediately amused.Wu Hua is a person who dares to speak and act, and he understands Fu Sui's temper, so he immediately went over to smooth things over: "Uncle Fu said that he must buy it. You can pack the fruit with Sophora japonica sauce. If you pack a catty, you will give it to him." What do you think of five pennies?"

Fu Sui nodded quickly: "Okay, okay! Such a good thing, the price is not expensive. My female said, buy more, and give me five catties. I have enough money."

Originally, Bai Guo thought that one penny would be enough.I didn't expect Wu Hua to be so skillful. This pottery master is also a real one. He thinks it's not expensive, and even asks for five catties in one breath.Bai Guo and Hei Xiao glanced at each other, both were shocked.But they really don't have that many.

"I'm sorry, I made a little. After I gave you and the owner of the sugar workshop, there may be less than four catties left. I kept it for myself, and I will make it next year, so I must Keep some. I can only sell you two catties, okay?"

Fu Sui scratched his head a little: "Is that so. Is the three catties not enough? We are going to visit relatives in Sky City in the second half of the month, and we want to bring some as gifts."

Bai Guo had an idea: "Actually, you can bring other gifts when visiting relatives. I really don't have that much Huahuahua sauce, but I have beef shortbread here. You can take it home and try it. If you like it, you can make it fresh. As much as you want." After finishing speaking, he immediately ran back to the kitchen, wrapped six of the beef shortcakes he made last night, filled two catties of sophora flower sauce, and ran out to hand the two things to Fu Sui.

"This is shortbread, and this is Huahuahua sauce, take it away."

When Fu Sui took the shortbread, he felt a little embarrassed.

"Look, I'm here to buy things, but I'm picking things up again. How embarrassing."

Bai Guo smiled: "Don't think so. I just came to live in Yancheng, and there are still many things I don't understand. In the future, I will inevitably trouble you. You really don't need to take this little thing to heart." Said, but my heart is very happy.He knew that one penny here could buy two meters of cloth for clothes, five catties of rice or three catties of wheat flour, so he had never thought about the price of five pennies.If he is willing to buy a catty of sophora japonica sauce with five pennies, even if he gives ten more shortbreads, it is still a good deal!What's more, Bai Guo believes that even Huaihua sauce is willing to spend money on it, so he will definitely like beef shortbread more!

After seeing off the first customer, Bai Guo was very happy with a penny.Carrying the thin hemp rope wearing shellfish, the white shellfish looks pretty with a pearl-like luster under the sun.

"Xiaohua, you are so brave, you dare to ask for such an expensive price."

Wu Hua smiled and said: "Because this is something that only you can make and only you have. Of course it will be expensive if there are only so many. This is very normal. You see, Uncle Fu and the others agree with this price. Otherwise, they will not refuse Bargaining. And Uncle Fu’s partner, Uncle You, is very greedy and likes all kinds of delicious food. Don’t look at Uncle Fu’s poor legs and poor hunting ability, but all the pottery he makes can be bought in Sky City. .And Uncle Fu's three sons are all very powerful. Especially the youngest son, he is extremely talented. Hei Xiao has competed with him once. Hei Xiao is very good, right?"

Hei Xiao nodded: "Yes. Fu Ling is very capable. We were tied at the time."

"That's right! And he's actually a very nice person. Although he was the one who was wrong first in your competition, but after that, someone spoke ill of you in front of him and provoked him to fight you again, and he drove them away. Ran."

Unexpectedly, Fu Ling would have such a move, Hei Xiao was very surprised: "How do you know this?"

"Uh..." Wu Hua was stunned by the question, he was always embarrassed to say that he had pretended to meet Fu Bing several times, so he happened to meet him.So he changed the subject abruptly: "Guozi, let's make sweet potatoes quickly. You're not making candied sweet potatoes, I'm looking forward to it."

Don't think that Bai Guo doesn't understand anything about feelings, but if he doesn't experience it personally, it doesn't mean he hasn't seen it, at least he has seen some in miscellaneous books.He didn't understand the details, but he saw Wu Hua blushing.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhsshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Wu Hua blushed even more.

"Don't tell anyone!"

Bai Guo covered her mouth: "Don't worry. I will never say anything. Neither will Hei Xiao. Right?"

Hei Xiao nodded.

"Hmm." Obviously I have no one to talk to.

Wu Hua sighed: "But he likes a lot of females, who are prettier than me, more talented than me, and have a better family background than me. He just nods when he sees me. I have no hope. .”

Bai Guo touched his chin, rolled his eyes, and suddenly thought about what his master once said, thinking that if you want to capture people's hearts, you must first capture people's stomachs.He thinks it should make sense.

"Then why don't you make delicious food for him, and then let him discover your goodness. When he thinks your best food is the best, and other people's food is not as good as yours, you will have hope."

Wu Hua grinned: "Don't say that the food I make is not so delicious, let alone compare with you, I am not even as good as my brother's craftsmanship. Just say what reason to give him food, this is a There's a problem. I'm embarrassed to just hand it to him. If he doesn't accept it, I'll be ashamed."

Bai Guo has always been the same, so she turned to Hei Xiao and asked, "Hei Xiao, do you have any good ideas?"

Hei Xiao was quite speechless.I have never liked anyone before, so how could I have such an idea.But looking at Bai Guo's serious face and faint excitement, he didn't want to disappoint.

"Didn't you say that the two of you set up a stall to sell baked rice cakes together? It's like giving shortbread to Master Fu. Pick a few people to try and give them to eat, and you can also give Fu Lin what you made yourself. It should work."

Bai Guo nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes! This method is good! It can also advertise our baked rice cakes. If everyone likes rice cakes, maybe someone in the city will come to buy them at home. I will teach you how to make rice cakes, so that If Fu Ling likes it, you can let him go to your house to buy rice cakes!"

Wu Hua was startled: "Huh? Teach me? Don't you want to make money from this?"

Bai Guo smiled and said, "We can cooperate. I make rice cakes, and you bake them. It's okay. This way, it won't be sold by Hei Xiao and me, and no one will come to buy them." When he said this, he pouted subconsciously Mouth.

Hei Xiao couldn't help but put his hand on Bai Guo's shoulder.

Bai Guo turned her head to look at Hei Xiao, thinking that Hei Xiao hugged her only because she was sad, and still comforted her distressedly: "It will be fine in the future!"

Hei Xiao smiled: "Of course it will be fine."
