I was a hunter in ancient times

In order to research the ebony drink that suits the taste of Daqing people, Shen Xi studied in the kitchen for several days.

Stepping into summer, it is hot in a cool room, not to mention a hot kitchen.

In Shenxi's bitter summer, he didn't stay in the kitchen for two days, and the erotic meat lying in the room disappeared by itself, and he seemed to be even thinner.

Zhou Du felt sorry for him, so he didn't go out for a stroll, instead he took his fan and handkerchief and followed him, fanning him to wipe off his sweat from time to time.

Maybe his actions really didn't match his image, causing the servants in the kitchen to laugh once or twice from time to time.

Zhou Du has good eyesight and better hearing, he pretended he didn't hear what he heard, and continued to go his own way.

According to the re-mixed recipe, Shen Xi boiled another pot of ebony plums to drink, let it cool down, added ice cubes, and tasted it first. After feeling good, he pursed his lips and put the cup behind Zhou Du on his lips: "Try it."

Zhou Du looked at the water glass he handed over, stopped the fan, lowered his head slightly, and lowered his lips at the position where his lips had just touched, and sipped some water in the glass, the cold drink was slightly sour with a hint of sweetness in it. The tip of the tongue spread across the throat, making the summer heat on his body a little less.

Seeing him drink down, Shen Xi hurriedly asked: "How?"

Zhou Du couldn't taste any specific taste, he could only give his most intuitive feeling: "The taste is very good, I like it very much."

Shen Xi didn't expect Zhou Du to give him any comments, what he wanted from the beginning to the end was Zhou Du's encouragement, what Zhou Du said was exactly what he wanted, and a faint smile appeared on his face: " This time I added some dried roses and I think it’s also good.”

Zhou Du looked at the chopping board with a pile of ingredients, and asked him, "Do you want to try other recipes?"

Shen Xi shook his head: "No need."

Over the past few days, he has tried no less than a hundred flavors of ebony drinks, and there is no difference except that the different recipes have slight differences in taste.

He made so many ebony drinks, but he just wanted to try to create a unique ebony drink.

But it seems difficult.

No matter how you make the ebony drink, the formula is very simple. A person who knows how to taste it can taste the formula, and even develop a better formula than him. In this way, the ebony drink he made will lose its advantage, and at most it can Selling it in your own restaurant is of no use at all.

Shen Xi lowered his eyes, his blood was full of enthusiasm, as if someone poured a basin of cold water on his head, it made his heart cool, and he didn't have any more enthusiasm.

Shen Xi didn't say anything, but his thoughts were all written on his face, so that people could see his thoughts at a glance, Zhou Du threw down the fan in his hand, and took out the freshly made iced ebony drink from his hand , drinking slowly.

After drinking a glass of iced drink, halfway through, he opened his water-stained thin lips gently: "Why do you have to make a unique taste? I think this is also very good. I like every flavor you make. .”

However, this time Zhou Du's reassurance didn't work. Shen Xi not only didn't calm down after listening to it, but became even more irritable in his heart. He didn't bother to explain right now, curled his lips, and said perfunctorily: "You don't understand."

Zhou Du twitched his lips while drinking the iced drink, a smile flashed in his eyes, the child lost his temper, he was a bit arrogant.

Zhou Du lowered his eyes, covering the smile in his eyes, and spoke again, turning the topic around: "I heard that there are not many black plums in the market."

Shen Xi went to fiddle with more than a hundred ingredients, large and small, piled up on the chopping board again. Hearing Zhou Du's question, he raised the small scale in his hand to look at the scale, and replied indifferently: "Yes, this black plum It is not very useful except for medicine and food, and few people grow it, and the price is very low, so naturally not many."

Seeing that he was still preparing the new formula seriously, Zhou Du didn't stop him, turned the cup in his hand, and said step by step: "Doesn't that mean that if someone rounds the ebony plums, others can't do it again?" I bought ebony."

With a soft "bang dang", the scale beam in Shen Xi's hand fell to the ground, and he froze on the spot, and then excitedly grabbed Zhou Du's hand, his eyes gleamed brightly, making it impossible to ignore.

Zhou Du's heart trembled, he looked into his eyes, and asked knowingly, "What's wrong?"

"You reminded me," Shen Xi's eyes rolled, and his face suddenly became bright: "Why should I study the formula bitterly here, I just need to monopolize all the dark plums on the market, which is equivalent to the formula of dark plum drink It is firmly in my hand, and I will sell any flavor of ebony drink that I want to sell at that time, and I don’t have to worry about the recipe being leaked.”

Shen Xi talked a lot with Zhou Du in one breath, and spit out all the gloom, with a kind of cheerful feeling of another village, and the whole person seemed very excited.

"Very good." Zhou Du, who had done a good deed, did not seek credit, but praised Shen Xi vigorously, hiding his merit and fame deeply.

Shen Xi grabbed Zhou Du's hand, and the heat in their hands rekindled Shen Xi's wet blood. A fire was burning in his heart, and he wished he could tell the truth immediately.

But before he was impulsive, he still restrained himself, looked at Zhou Du with eyes full of love and admiration, and couldn't help asking again: "Zhou Du, why are you so good."

Zhou Du pretended not to know: "What?"

Seeing that Zhou Du refused to admit it life and death, Shen Xi smiled brightly: "Just pretend, you know everything, but you refuse to reveal anything, and give me all the credit."

Zhou Du's eyes paused for a moment on his blooming smile, then he put down the cup in his hand, neither admitting nor denying it: "No, you are smart, you reacted when you turned a corner, I just hit it by mistake .”

Zhou Du still had a stubborn look, and Shen Xi simply stopped forcing him, and smiled brighter at him with his whole face: "You spoil me so much, what do you do if you spoil me?"

Zhou Du's eyes moved slightly, he pinched the tip of his upturned nose lightly, and said more dotingly: "That's bad."

"Hehehe, I know you are the best," Shen Xi put his arms around Zhou Du's waist, rubbed against his body lightly, and laughed naively, "Prove that I didn't marry the wrong person."

Zhou Du looked at the person who was rubbing against him, looked around at the person who was secretly watching them, pressed his brow bone helplessly, and reminded him: "It's so close, we don't need to be afraid of the heat."

"Don't be afraid," Shen Xi hugged Zhou Du tighter, and said drunkenly, "I'm willing to die from heat."

It's good that he didn't speak, but when he spoke, the servants in the kitchen couldn't help laughing.

If you listen carefully, you can hear one or two whispers: "This young couple is really loving."

No matter how thick-skinned Zhou Du was, he couldn't resist this meeting. The back of his ears became slightly hot. He patted Shen Xi's back, cleared his throat, and said, "Ahem, cough, well, it's time to get down to business. .”

Shen Xi had just let go of a big event in his mind, and it was time to relax, when he heard Zhou Du's words, he couldn't help but raised his head and asked, "What's the business?"

Zhou Du smiled wryly, he was really a child, he thought of it as soon as he thought it out, without planning at all: "Aren't you going to buy ebony plums?"

"Now?" Shen Xi looked towards the sky outside the kitchen, only to see that the sun was shining brightly outside, and the heat was steaming, so he hesitated, "It's not too late to go tomorrow."

Zhou Du shook his head at him, and said nicely to him: "When we came, didn't we see a big ship carrying black plums? It's only been [-] days now, so we might be able to find them if we look for them. In another day, we might miss them." , sooner rather than later."

What to do when you find them, of course, is to buy dark plums. Such a big ship is full of dark plums. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the largest supplier of dark plums in Daqing. As long as you find them, negotiate cooperation with them smoothly, and grasp the black plums in their hands. It's no more troublesome than running to a shop selling dark plums in Kyoto to ask.

Shen Xi is not a stupid person, Zhou Du immediately reacted when he mentioned it a little bit, hurriedly got up from Zhou Du's arms, and said regretfully: "That's right, why didn't I think of it?"

Seeing that he was about to slap his forehead with his hand again, Zhou Du took his hand in time to stop him and said, "Don't slap, you're even more stupid to be careful."

Shen Xi looked at Zhou Du and smiled straight: "It's good that you're smart. People say that a family is complete if one is smart and the other is stupid."

"Why is he becoming more and more like a child." Zhou Du shook his head at Shen Xi, he remembered that when he first met Shen Xi, he was not like this.

At that time, he thought of everything one step ahead of him, and was very good at taking care of others. Except for a face with a little immature face that looked like a child, most of the time he didn't look like a child.

After hearing this, Shen Xi laughed even harder: "You're not the one who favors you, you are the culprit!"

Facing Shen Xi's smiling face, Zhou Du couldn't help but smile a little too: "That's fine, a child should look like a child, and leave other things to the adults to worry about."

Zhou Du seldom smiled, but this smile dazzled everyone in the kitchen. If it wasn't for the fact that the laughter really existed, everyone would have thought they had misunderstood it.

Shen Xi, who had been playing around for a long time, finally realized that they were no longer in the kitchen where only the two of them were at home, but in the kitchen of the Duke's Mansion where there were many people and eyes. Thinking of his actions just now, his face suddenly turned red.

Immediately, he didn't dare to stay in the kitchen anymore, pulled Zhou Du and hurried to the door: "Since it's sooner rather than later, let's act quickly."

Zhou Du followed Shen Xi out the door, the sun was scorching outside the door, and the temperature was extremely uncomfortable.

Zhou Du glanced at Shen Xi's sweaty forehead before he went out, frowned and thought about it, and said, "Wait here, I'll get an umbrella."

Shen Xi probably also felt that it was not good to just go out like this, so she nodded when she heard this, and obediently stood under the eaves where the sun could not shine and waited for him.

Zhou Du left to pick up the fan, and the servants under the eaves who had just witnessed their love let go a little bit, and one of the older nuns talked to Shen Xi: "Master Shen and Master Zhou are so close, Zhou Du The young master also loves young master Shen very much."

Shen Xi raised his chin, it is undeniable.

His family Zhoudu is the best in the world, no one can compare.

The nanny was amused by Shen Xi's arrogant little expression, and she didn't mind adding a bit of anger: "But in the end, it is still Master Shen who is amazing, and he took Master Zhou, who is usually unsmiling, to him. Everyone else is different."

"That is," she said so that Shen Xi couldn't help feeling complacent, thinking of his first acquaintance with Zhou Du, he laughed again, and casually revealed his secret to them, "As long as the spatula is good, there is no iceberg that cannot be dug .”
