Chapter 612 The Ritual of Meeting (Part [-])
Mr. Liu He was stunned for a moment: "So, you really don't know each other."

Xia Zhaoyi nodded.

"What about the man outside, what's his name?"

"Surnamed Shen, Uncle Liu can call him Lord Shen."

"Shen Langjun," Mr. Liu He said in a low voice, paused, and then said, "You just said that it should have nothing to do with you, so what about them, how serious is the trouble?"

Xia Zhaoyi looked at the big man on the bed.

The big man was half-opening his eyes, trying to listen to their conversation with his residual consciousness, gritted his teeth and got up: "Maybe it's serious, I'd better go first, so I won't drag you down."

"Don't get excited," Mr. Liu He supported him, "Your wound is bleeding again."

"It's not a burden," Xia Zhaoyi said, "You can rest at ease, and let's talk about the injury after you recover. I'll go see how the medicine is."

The big man nodded, choked up and said thank you a few times.

Mr. Liuhe is very particular about life, especially in terms of food. In addition to the usual ingredients in the kitchen, the utensils and utensils are a complete set of fine green winter porcelain, which is expensive.

Xia Zhaoyi added hot water to the pot, added firewood under the stove, and sat behind the medicine stove in front of the door when he came back.

When Shen Lie came out of the room, she saw her staring at a hoe leaning in the corner, distracted.

Xu He's evening wind blew the ends of her ponytail hair, and the black night clothes set her off even whiter. The cold light of the moonlight fell on her eyebrows and eyes, clear and clear like a snow lake.

But it was clearly so peaceful, and he seemed to be able to hear the movement, like the galaxy entering the sea, the waves chasing jade white, the rhyme of the poems in the ancient prose, all became her in his gaze.

After a while of silence, Shen Lie walked up and finally broke the silence: "Ali."

Xia Zhaoyi came back to his senses, and the corners of his lips curled up: "It's finished."

Shen Lie sat down on the low bamboo stool next to her, stretched his long legs that had no place to rest to the bottom of the steps, and said in a low voice, "Sorry, I didn't know that was your friend, I hurt him."

Xia Zhaoyi smiled, and looked at his clothes, they really fit.

"Mr. Liu He and my father are old friends. I call him Uncle Liu. Brother Liu Yong joined the army in his early years and followed my elder brother all the time. It's a pity that he died early in battle." Xia Zhaoyi said.

Shen Lie paused: "My clothes are..."

"You look so pretty in it," Xia Zhaoyi smiled, and suddenly remembered something, she took out a small object from her bosom, handed it over and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, I'll give you a gift for meeting."

It is an exquisite long wooden carved box, which still carries the body temperature of a girl.

Shen Lie calmed down his heartbeat, opened the small box with his slender fingers, and an elegant and delicate fragrance that he had never smelled before came to his nostrils.

"I asked Mr. Liuhe for the spices he specifically asked for," Xia Zhaoyi said. "I didn't expect to come to him again, so I kept it with me. There are very few of this kind. Mr. Liuhe said that he would not make any more in the future. Of course, if you Like, I can still convince him."

A few pieces of spices were placed neatly in the box, with Mr. Liu He's engraved characters on it, and every stroke was everyone's style.

Xia Zhaoyi said this kind of gift lightly, but Shen Lie knew how precious it was.

It's a pity that he doesn't have anything now. In order to dress lightly, he lost everything he could. Even the armor and sword that he wore all the way this time, he took it to the same bold tailor to change into this night suit.

Or to put it this way, he never expected such a reunion in Fushang County. When he was still on the left, in order to deal with Guo Yu, he made preparations for a bloody storm in Fushang County.

Later, thinking that Du Xuan came here, when he chased him all the way, he was very careful.He never imagined that what was waiting for him in Fushang County was the beautiful woman he thought he had missed in Bajianghu.

If he had known earlier that it was her, he would have brought those pieces of jade that he wanted to give her a long time ago.

Covering the box, looking up to see the beautiful face of the girl, Shen Lie suppressed his heartbeat and said seriously: "Thank you, Li, for the gift. I came in a hurry this time. I didn't prepare a gift. I will make it up later."

"Okay," Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile, "By the way, are you hungry? I suddenly remembered that I haven't eaten all day."

"How can this work?" Shen Lie frowned, "The stomach can take it."

As he said that, he turned his head and glanced at the kitchen behind him, got up and said, "I'll go talk to Mr. Liu He and borrow the kitchen."

Without waiting for Xia Zhaoyi to speak, he stepped down the steps with long legs and walked quickly.

"..."

Xia Zhaoyi laughed, she just mentioned it casually, she wanted Shen Lie to help look at the medicine, she went to make something to eat, and made a few for them.

However, although she knew that Mr. Liu He would definitely lend them the kitchen, she still thought it would be better to say something first.

Now that Shen Lie has gone, let him do the talking.

As expected, Mr. Liu He readily agreed, and Shen Lie thanked him and left. He paused when he left the small side hall, and turned to look at Mr. Liu He again: "Senior, you have a lot of books outside, do you have any books on cooking?"

"Yes, the second row of the third bookshelf from the right is all there, but," Mr. Liu He frowned, "neither you nor Ali know how to cook?"

"……know a bit."

Mr. Liu He looked at him, the temperament and elegance of the young man is not just a simple handsome appearance that is far superior to ordinary people, his every gesture can be seen from his pampered childhood and good family background.

And it is by no means a small family or an ordinary official's family, either, it is a descendant of a family that has been passed down for a hundred years, or it is a famous nobleman who has accumulated wealth or power for generations.

Therefore, it is not surprising if you say that you can't cook.

Let the young people do it themselves.

"Take that "Food Treasures", it's easy to learn." Mr. Liu He said.

"Thank you sir." Shen Lie said.

When it came out on the bookshelf, Shen Lie easily found this "Meal Treasures".

It’s not that he doesn’t know how to cook. When he eats and sleeps in the wild, he can hunt, catch fish, roast, and cook soup. These are not difficult for him, but when he really wants to enter the kitchen, he is afraid that he will not be able to tell the order process.

Right now Xia Zhaoyi hasn't eaten anything for a day, he doesn't plan to learn anything, but he will feel better if he has a reference.

Before coming out, he subconsciously put his left hand behind his back slightly, not wanting Xia Zhaoyi to see the book.

Although he didn't think there was anything wrong, but when asked by the girl in the past, he still showed a trace of extremely rare discomfort.

Xia Zhaoyi looked at the book he took out: "This is..."

"Recipe." Shen Lie said.

"Uh."

"Don't get me wrong, I will make some food," Shen Lie said, "Just... borrow it for a read."

Xia Zhaoyi smiled, got up and said, "It's just right, I can also cook, or, let's do it together?"

Shen Lie frowned slightly, wanting to refuse, but he didn't want her to continue to be hungry, and she didn't want her mouth to suffer.

He used to be a confident person, but he didn't have the slightest confidence in his first formal cooking. He could clearly roast meat and cook fish soup.

And people like him don't have to care about whether their cooking skills are good or not. How could they think that one day they would worry about cooking...

"...Okay," Shen Lie nodded, without trying to be brave, and said frankly, "I'll make some barbecue, and when I get back, I'll send someone to send some more silver to Mr. Liuhe, as money for buying meat."

　It's been too cold these days, I didn't mean to interrupt the update. QAQ, and then, very, very, very, very special thanks to Xuanyuan, Tianshang, Fallen Fat Pill, and yunerzw for their rewards~!
