Taiping Inn

The two walked side by side in the moonlight. At this time, the wind was clear and the moon was bright. The sky and the earth were silver white, the night was quiet, and there was only the occasional sound of insects. The two walked along the post road about four or five miles, and suddenly they saw a small lake not far from the roadside, and the lake water was sparkling under the moonlight.

The two stopped at the same time and looked at each other. After Li Xuandu suggested, "Go and take a look?"

Bai Juan hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

The two of them came to the lake and looked out at the lake.

Li Xuandu suddenly bent down. When he stood up again, there was already a snake in his hand, which was strangled by him and could not break free.

As a woman who is used to seeing swords and swords, Bai Juan is certainly not afraid of snakes. She just looked at Li Xuandu with a little confused look, not knowing what he did to suddenly catch a snake.

Li Xuandu said, "You haven't eaten in a few days, right? You should eat some."

Bai Juan asked, "You can make snake soup?"

Li Xuandu said: "Snake soup is too complicated to make, and there are too many supplementary ingredients added. The so-called delicacies of mountains and seas, the more precious the ingredients, the less other supplementary ingredients should be added, and it is best to steam it. ”

After saying that, Li Xuandu actually took out an iron pot, three blue bricks, a large gourd that seemed to be filled with water, and many other paper bags of unknown purpose from the "Eighteenth Floor".

Bai Juan couldn't help but smile and said, "You just use the Sumeru treasure to put these things, it's really a waste of resources."

Li Xuandu laughed and said, "Please pick up some firewood, I'll deal with the snake meat."

Bai Juan went to pick up the dead branches as he said. Li Xuandu first swept out a flat open space, then used his fingertips to generate sword energy, cut the snake skin away, peel off the snake skin, and then cut the snake flesh a thread. Without cutting it off, plate it in a blue and white sea bowl.

Li Xuandu built three green bricks into a recommended stove, put the pot on it, pour water from the gourd, and then put a large bowl of snake meat into the pot.

Bai Juan picked up the dead branches and saw that Li Xuan was so familiar, he couldn't help but say in surprise: "I can't tell that the great Sword Immortal of the Purple Mansion has such skills."

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "I don't know how to cultivate the fields and grow vegetables, wash clothes and cook."

While speaking, Li Xuandu took the branches from Bai Juan's hand, lit them, and put them into the bottom of the pot, let Bai Juan look at the heat, and then opened the paper bags. The white ones turned out to be salt. Then Li Xuandu took them out again Cut the onion, ginger, garlic and other ingredients into powder first, then mash it into paste, and place it in a small bowl.

When it was time for the snake meat, Li Xuandu brought the pot and lifted the lid. Suddenly, a large ball of steam came out. Li Xuandu reached out to bring out the bowl, and saw two large pieces of snake meat shiny in the bowl, still there Breathing in white air.

Bai Juan took off the hat on her head and put it aside, and asked, "I have only eaten snake soup, how should I eat this?"

Li Xuandu poured the salt from the paper bag into a small bowl and said, "Snake meat cannot touch iron, it will be fishy when touched iron. You also need to eat the word "fresh", so use chopsticks to tear the dipping sauce."

As he said that, Li Xuandu took out two pairs of chopsticks and handed them to Bai Jian, and smiled and said, "It's clean, no one has used it."

Bai Jian took the chopsticks, tear the snake meat dipping sauce, put it in, and finally chewed it carefully, saying, "It's so fresh, it's really different from snake soup, it's a bit like a crab."

Li Xuandu said, "If you have the chance, I will invite you to eat crabs. The sea crabs in our Qingwei Sect are also excellent."

Bai Juan ignored his words and chewed slowly slowly.

Li Xuandu also used chopsticks to tear off a piece of snake meat and put it into his mouth, saying, "Now the disaster victims are everywhere, and everyone can eat it. In other words, Langya Mansion is still a pure land, and there is snake meat to eat."

After swallowing the snake flesh in his mouth, Bai Juan glanced at him and said, "Don't say anything!"

Li Xuandu nodded and said, "Your words remind me of someone. Someone said this to me before."

"Who?" Bai Juan asked immediately.

Li Xuandu said, "Her name is Zhou Shuning."

Bai Juan hesitated for a moment and asked, "It seems to be a woman."

Li Xuandu said, "Of course he is a woman."

Bai Juan's face slightly darkened. Thinking of his words, he felt annoyed for no reason and snorted: "Men are all big pig's hooves."

"Vulgar words!" Li Xuandu hurriedly said, "Do you know what it means? Just talk nonsense!"

Bai Juan was stunned and said honestly, "I don't know."

Li Xuandu asked, "Have you ever seen a pig's soles?"

Bai Juan recalled it, as if he hadn't turned the pig over to see what its soles were like, so he could only shake his head.

Li Xuandu asked again, "Have you ever seen the donkey's soles?"

Bai Juan shook his head again.

Li Xuan sighed and drew two shapes on the ground with a piece of dead branches, saying, "The soles of pigs look like men's lives, and the soles of donkeys look like women... That so they care about men. Calling Big Pig's Hoof, calling a woman a little donkey's hoof, these are all very vulgar words."

After seeing the two patterns drawn by Li Xuandu, Bai Juan's face turned red immediately and spat, "I don't learn well if I don't learn well."

Li Xuan said innocently: "This is what you said first."

Bai Jian was speechless and could only bury his head and eat snake meat.

Li Xuandu took this opportunity to get closer and said, "Are you jealous just now?"

Bai Juan snorted heavily.

Li Xuandu explained: "Zhou Shuning is a little girl who is just ten years old. I treat her as my sister."

"Who are you me? Why am I jealous?" Bai Juan said, "You are both unfair and unhonest. Among the three sentences, two and a half are bullying me, but it's just that I can bully me. Forget it, if you meet Su Yunying, Yu Qingning, and the palace official, you dare to do this too?”

After hearing this, Li Xuandu corrected his face and said, "This is different. It is not a question of whether he dares to dare, but a question of whether he is willing or not. I don't want it, so they can only see the serious purple house sword. Immortal, but I can't see this disciple Li Xuandu."

Bai Juan's face turned red, and she said "Ph", but she liked it very much, and said in a low voice: "There are two and a half of the three sentences that bully me, and at least half of them are human words."

The white silk that originally adhered to "eating without saying anything" was also damaged by Li Xuandu. The two of them ate the snake flesh while talking, leaving only two snake bones.

While packing the pots and dishes, Li Xuan suddenly asked, "Miss Qin, have you ever wanted to get married?"

Bai Juan was stunned, and was not angry for the first time. He shook his head and said, "I never thought that Yu Qingning and the palace officials would not marry?"

Li Xuandu said, "If all the women in the world are like you, then there will be no one in this world in a thousand years. I'm afraid it's monkeys and tigers who have become the masters of this world."

Bai Juan smiled and said, "Being basked in the monkey? Or is there no tiger in the mountains, and the monkey is called the king?"

Li Xuandu said, "It's probably both. What will happen to you if you marry someone? Are you allowed not to do this or that not to do it. Keep your husband obediently?"

Bai Juan said, "I don't know. If this day really happens, I won't force him to do anything. He will listen if he wants to listen. If he doesn't like to listen, then he will let him do it, but he doesn't want to take care of it. That's me."

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "Then I love to listen to what you say."

This sentence was another pun. Bai Juan frowned and seemed to be about to attack, but then sighed lightly and turned his head slightly red.

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
