Kaifeng House Small Dining Table

Zhao Hanyan was sure she was still there, and anxiously searched around.Zhao Hu and Xiuzhu then came with lanterns, took a look at the other side of the wall, and saw a shrunken figure behind the big stone lion in front of Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhao Hanyan did not reach out to touch her, but squatted half a foot away, and whispered to the little girl, "Are you here to find me?"

The little girl was afraid to bury her head even deeper when she heard the footsteps.He slowly raised his head because he heard a familiar voice, saw Zhao Hanyan at a glance, and immediately ran to hug her crying.Only then did Zhao Hanyan dare to pat the little girl on the back, and comforted her softly for a long time.Finally let the little girl relax, Zhao Hanyan took her hand and took her back to Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhao Hanyan cooked vegetable porridge for the little girl, with a plate of homemade pickled radish.It's not that she is reluctant to give her good food, but that her stomach is weak after being hungry for a long time, and her body will not be able to bear it if she eats a lot suddenly. It is best to drink porridge first and take it easy.It was impossible for the girl who was away to avoid her before, so she could only give her snacks. Now that she is brought back, Zhao Hanyan must take care of her carefully.

The little girl gratefully picked up a bowl bigger than her face and eagerly drank the porridge.

The little girl’s heartfelt voice: The congee is delicious, big brother’s craftsmanship is really good, by the way, I should tell big brother that there are bad guys coming in the city, the bad guys who killed my father, mother and brothers, but what should I say, I won’t speak...

With a bang, even the porridge and the bowl fell to the ground.Looking at the little girl again, her face was already full of tears and she was trembling with anxiety.

Everyone was taken aback, not understanding how the little girl's mood suddenly changed.Only Zhao Hanyan understood the little girl's mind. She hurriedly hugged the child, patted her on the back, and comforted her not to be afraid.

"Big brother already knows, don't worry."

The little girl was taken aback, her tears gradually stopped, she looked at Zhao Hanyan suspiciously, and seemed to ask again: "Big brother really knows what I'm going to say?"

Zhao Hanyan smiled and nodded to her.

The little girl was very excited and cheered in her heart that someone understood her.

Zhao Hanyan knew that given the little girl's current mood and state, she couldn't ask too many detailed questions. It would be better to ask this question carefully when she was rested and refreshed, and she could recall more details when she was in a calm mood.

Zhao Hanyan filled another bowl of porridge for the little girl, and after she finished drinking, wiped the little girl's mouth with a handkerchief.During the period, she also asked Chunlai to get a set of clothes for children of the same age, so she planned to take the girl to take a bath and change clothes.

After Zhao Hanyan took the little girl's hand, seeing Zhao Hu, Chunlai and others looking at him with strange eyes, he immediately realized that he was a "man" at the moment, and said to the little girl with a smile: "Let Sister Xiuzhu take you later How about going to wash? Sister Xiuzhu is very kind, more patient than me, and she can tell a lot of happy stories. After washing, my body will be white, fragrant, and will not itch."

When the little girl heard it at first, she held Zhao Hanyan's hand tightly and refused to let go, but when she heard the explanation later, she hesitated and finally nodded.

Xiuzhu hurriedly smiled and came over to hold the little girl's hand, and teased her with how to coax a child.The little girl also relaxed her guard against Xiuzhu, and finally followed Xiuzhu obediently.

Zhao Hu and others all admired Zhao Hanyan. The little girl couldn't speak, and she hid herself from others with trepidation. An ordinary man would definitely be helpless, but the little cook was different. He was gentle and amiable in coaxing the child.

Handsome and skilled, but also so kind and patient, the little cook is a bit dazzling.

At this time, Zhan Zhao came from the other side of the road and only saw the back of the little girl. After hearing about it, he also smiled and praised Zhao Hanyan for his kindness.

He then inspected the kitchen and asked Zhao Hanyan wonderingly, "Where's the roasted red carp, is it ready?"

"Oh, I forgot to buy it." Zhao Hu clapped his hands, blaming himself for not having enough brains.

"I didn't intend to use it at all." Zhao Hanyan said as he walked towards the stove.

"Without grilled fish, how to attract thieves?" Zhan Zhao guessed that Zhao Hanyan had already made up his mind, so he asked unhurriedly.

"There is grilled fish, but it's not red carp." Zhao Hanyan grabbed a small crucian carp the size of a thumb from the basin and placed it in a large snow-white disc. Compared with it, the fish seemed smaller. "Why do you want to follow him?" I don’t raise thieves, so I just roast the thinnest and smallest crucian carp for him.”

Everyone laughed when they heard it, and sighed that Zhao Hanyan was clever.

"But how can you guarantee that the thief will definitely come tonight?" Zhao Hu asked.

Zhao Han asked someone to pull a length of white silk, and wrote a letter saying "the fish are in the pot, but the people are in the courtyard", then hung up the white silk with a swing, and tied two lanterns on the top of the pole, so as not to ambush people in the distance when it was dark. The foodie thief couldn't read the words on the white silk.

"Hahaha……"

Zhao Hu laughed until his stomach hurt, and everyone else found it funny, including Zhan Zhao.

"So 'blatant', did the thief really come?" Zhao Hu asked again.

"This thief is arrogant. Since he dared to send a letter to provoke him, he is not afraid that we will wait for him in ambush. Since he has written the letter, he will naturally stare at this place. When he sees this white silk tonight, he will definitely come to get the fish even if he doesn't want to. An arrogant person is afraid of being provoked, and is unwilling to admit defeat easily." Zhao Hanyan explained.

Zhan Zhao found that when the little cook was playing tricks, there was always a mischievous smile on his delicate and handsome face, and his eyes were full of intelligence, sharpness and infinite cunning, as if there was no problem in this world that he couldn't solve.

What a strange man, Zhan Zhao sighed heartily.

The night was getting darker, and it was almost midnight.

Zhao Hanyan asked Laiwang to burn charcoal, and she took a long bamboo stick and stuck it on the small crucian carp, turned it over twice on the charcoal fire, the small crucian carp was cooked quickly, put it back on the plate, put it into the pot, cover it, and catch thieves 'The fish is ready.

Then everyone chatted and laughed together and used bamboo sticks to thread lamb skewers, and they were all ready in less than a stick of incense.The charcoal fire is also burning red at this time, which is suitable for roasting.Zhao Hanyan put the mutton skewers on the brick oven, and prepared oil, salt, chili powder, sauce and freshly ground cumin.

Not long after, the surface of the mutton skewers was sizzling with oil and exuding aroma.The appearance of the meat skewers has changed from the original bright red to the color of red sauce, and some places are still burnt and buttery. Sprinkled with chili, cumin and chili powder, it is spicy and delicious, not greasy and not greasy. Take a bite, it is very delicious and full of flavor. It can be said to be the best food to match with drinking and chatting on summer nights.

Zhao Hanyan became playful, and yelled: "Exclusive and secret kebabs, eat to satisfy your hunger and satisfy your hunger. Would you like a skewer from the guest officer? Three or two skewers."

"One string in twos and twos?" Zhao Hu exclaimed, "Those who didn't know thought you were selling pearl and agate strings, it's too expensive!"

"Don't eat it if you think it's too expensive." Zhao Hanyan turned his head in disgust, at this moment a shiny ingot of silver ingot appeared in front of Zhao Hanyan's eyes.The hands holding the silver ingot were slender and fair, except for the thin calluses on the tiger's mouth, it could not be seen that it was a pair of martial arts hands.

Zhao Hanyan immediately gave Zhan Zhao five skewers, "It's the Zhanke officer who knows the goods."

"Take the money." Zhan Zhao smiled when he saw that Zhao Hanyan didn't take the money.

"Looking at the handsome appearance of the guest officer, it's okay." Zhao Hanyan continued with a teasing smile.

Zhao Hu was dissatisfied when he heard this, and moved to Zhan Zhao's side to compare with him, "Young Master is also known as the most beautiful man within ten miles in his hometown. Although he is not as good as Master Zhan, he is at least worth four times."

"Smug you." Before Zhao Hanyan could refute, the other people present quit and laughed at Zhao Hu for a while.

"A liar has no meat to eat."

Zhao Hanyan held up the grilled meat skewers and divided them one by one, but he refused to give them to Zhao Hu.

Zhao Hu was so anxious to make up for his mistakes again and again, he admitted against his will that he was not a handsome man.Zhao Hanyan still ignored him, Zhan Zhao smiled and distributed the two skewers in his hand to Zhao Hu, and handed the other two skewers to Zhao Hanyan.

Zhao Hanyan only took away one skewer, "There are still many unroasted, everyone can eat well."

Zhan Zhao smiled, and asked Zhao Hanyan to keep the money, treating it as a reward for grilling skewers late at night, "If you don't care, you will treat it as an advance payment for future skewers. I don't want to eat this kind of skewers just once."

Seeing that Zhan Zhao insisted, Zhao Hanyan smiled and accepted the money.At this time, she noticed that Zhan Zhao suddenly stopped eating, and turned his ear towards the kitchen.Zhao Hanyan raised his eyebrows, anticipating that the 'thief' might be coming, subconsciously held his breath and looked towards the kitchen.

With a bang, it sounded like the pot lid had hit the ground.It's loud, it sounds like a 'thief' smashed it on purpose.

Zhao Hu, who was joking and chatting, realized something was wrong when he heard the sound, and immediately rushed into the kitchen with a knife in his hand, shouting, "Where are the thieves running away?"

Zhan Zhao didn't move, he just stood there.

After a while, Zhao Hu came out with a knife, and said to Zhan Zhao, "He's not in the kitchen."

"I know." After Zhan Zhao said, he jumped to the roof.

Zhao Hanyan, Zhao Hu and others all looked up.

By the moonlight, one could discern a tall man standing on the eaves of the house. He stood against the wind, his black hair was flying on the back of his neck, and his clothes were fluttering.Under the hazy moonlight, his face was noble and beautiful, and even the simplest and cleanest white clothes on him gave him a sense of magnificence.What is more eye-catching than the young man's appearance is the uninhibited spirit exuding from his whole body. He is so arrogant that he doesn't seem to put anyone in his eyes.

After Zhan Zhao sized it up, he sighed in his heart, but his face remained calm, "Bai Yutang?"

"Yes." Bai Yutang glanced sideways at Zhan Zhao, his eyes didn't stay any longer, but looked down, and after he walked around the people who 'looked up' at him in the courtyard, he finally locked on Zhao Hanyan, with thin lips Say two words lightly, "Liar."

"Who are you calling a liar, and I'm calling you a thief!" Zhao Hanyan reacted very quickly, turned around and grabbed a handful of mutton skewers, sat on a small bench, and continued to grill the skewers, seemingly unaffected.

"I'm not a thief, you're a liar." Bai Yutang dodged Zhan Zhao, jumped into the yard, and threw the finger-sized crucian carp by its tail in front of Zhao Hanyan.

Of course Zhao Hanyan understood Bai Yutang's meaning, pointing to the banner with one hand and holding the small crucian carp in the other, he argued with Bai Yutang, "The fish is in the pot, is this a fish?"

Bai Yutang was startled.His letter did say he wanted red carp, but the white silk did not say red carp, only fish, so strictly speaking it was not a lie.Bai Yutang was a little annoyed at being tricked.

"I'm not a thief, Jiang Ping was the one who stole the chicken." Bai Yutang 'sold' his brother without hesitation, and got [-]% back in front of Zhao Hanyan.

"But you just stole the fish. This is obvious to all of us. You should be imprisoned according to the law." Zhao Hu said.

"It's not stealing, it's taking." Bai Yutang turned his eyes to look at Zhao Hu coldly, "I wrote to 'order' the food earlier, but I just took the food. The money is here."

As he spoke, Bai Yutang put an ingot of gold ingots on the table.

"You—" Zhao Hu was so angry, "This is Kaifeng Mansion, not a restaurant, so there is no room for you to order food."

"This is a private matter between me and this little cook, and it has nothing to do with you." Bai Yutang didn't care about Zhao Hu's attitude at all, and turned his head to continue to look at Zhao Hanyan.

He's going to settle accounts with this cook... Wait, why does it smell so good?
