Chapter 237 Wontons
Jiming said: "You are restless."

If you are not calm, you will naturally lose.

Yun Zhuo was taken aback for a moment, then thought of his mistake just now.As Jiming said, she was really restless because she wanted to win so much.Thinking of what Jiming and Mrs. Zheng said before, he asked with a smile, "In your opinion, do I count as a failure today?"

Jiming didn't answer her because the answer was already obvious.

The two played a game of chess for a long time. Qiu Xing originally thought that it was time for them to eat, but when she turned her head, she saw that the food that the little master brought earlier was already cold. In the food box, he said to Yun Zhuo: "Girl, I'll take the dishes to the dining hall to heat up."

Yun Zhuo said hello, and after she left, he and Jiming chatted nonsense again.

"But in fact, if you say that those who are obsessed with failure, I used to think that it has two points of truth. Looking at it now, I only think that this is only half true." Before Jiming asked why, she said to herself The words continued, "Besides, this is clearly the principle of Taoism, why do you, as a member of the Buddhist family, also talk about this?"

"The reason lies only in oneself." Jiming didn't entangle her too much about the difference between Confucianism and Taoism, he just said that, after a moment of silence, he said again, "It's like some people's actions, in the eyes of outsiders, they are colorful and lively But in fact, only she knows how the road under her feet is full of thorns and bumps."

Yun Zhuo turned her head and looked out the window. She knew that Jiming's words were actually referring to her. The originally green plantains outside the meditation room had gradually turned a little yellow at this time, and there were yellow and green leaves on the branches in front of the window. She turned her head : "But for me, don't say that there are thorns all over the place. As long as I believe it, I will go through mountains of swords and seas of fire."

Jiming glared at her angrily, deeply felt that this child was unteachable, and he didn't plan to say anything more to her, so as not to make himself even more angry.

At this moment, Qiu Xing came back with a food box.

The table was already cleaned up, so she carried the food box to the table and opened it. She brought out two bowls of rice, two plates of stir-fried lotus root slices, and two bowls of cabbage soup, and placed them in front of the two of them.

Yun Zhuo has always been fond of meat, so today's vegetarian meal, he and she ate really tasteless, and after a quick bite, she got up and left. Jiming learned to be smart this time and didn't talk to her She was polite, but got up to see her off.

After bringing Qiu Xing down the mountain, Yun Zhuo took the carriage and told Lao Huang to go straight to Qunfang Building. As soon as the master and servant entered, a runner came up to meet him. Yun Zhuo said, "Take us to the private room on the second floor, and ask for a pot The best Yunding Oolong, and four signature dishes, it should be faster."

The waiter watched her dress and demeanor, although she was not ostentatious, she also knew that she was a pampered official lady in the capital, so she didn't dare to neglect her at all, and said that she should go underground.

After a while of incense sticks, the dishes were ready, and Yun Zhuo turned to look at Qiu Xing who was standing behind him: "Sit down and eat with me, I can't finish all these dishes by myself, and you are too busy It's been a day."

"Girl...this is not in line with etiquette." Qiu Xing obeyed the etiquette and did not dare to exceed the rules.

Yun Zhuo said: "There are no outsiders here, so it's okay to sit down and have a meal. Or do you want me to accompany you to be hungry?"

How dare Qiu Xing?
She couldn't hold back Yun Zhuo, so she had to sit down opposite her timidly, and took small bites of food.

After Yun Zhuo had eaten his fill, he propped his elbows on the table and rested his little face on his palms.

Thinking of the spicy shrimp tails that she ate at Xie Jie's house before, she felt a little regretful.

Qunfanglou's signature dish also has spicy shrimp tails, but it is completely different from Xie Jie's.I used to eat it and thought it was good, but since I tasted Xie Jie's handicraft and compared the two, I finally let her understand what it means to once go through the sea, except that Wushan is not a cloud.

Feeling lost, she returned to the mansion with Qiu Xing, the concierge quickly stood up and said to her, thanking the mansion for sending a letter.

Yun Zhuo took the letter and went back to Wotangju to open it, only to find that the letter was actually a recipe.

She hurriedly asked Qiu Xing to grind the ink, copied a copy, and after drying the ink, she asked Qiu Xing to take it to the kitchen for them to try tonight.

As for the letter sent by Xie Jie, she casually put it in the book.After all, this is not some shady secret, and she is not afraid of being seen.

……

"My lord, the recipe has been delivered to Fourth Miss Yun. The servants of Yunfu said that she went out in the morning and hasn't come back yet." After delivering the recipe, Wen Lu reported to Xie Jie after returning to Xie's residence.

Xie Jie nodded: "Where is Ning Yi?"

Wen Lu lowered his voice a bit: "It's in Dali Temple."

After he finished speaking, he saw that Xie Jie was already walking out, and he hurriedly followed, but saw that Xie Jie was not heading in the direction of Dali Temple.

He was a little dazed, and asked, "Aren't you going to Dali Temple?"

Xie Jie asked him indifferently: "When did I say I was going to Dali Temple? Even if I did, it's not today."

"Then where are you going?" Wen Lu Bai was puzzled.

Xie Jie remained silent and walked on Suzaku Street silently.From the beginning to the end, he didn't ask Shi Ling a word, as if this person was very insignificant.

He didn't ask, and Lu Bian didn't say anything, and quietly followed behind him, and then he saw Mr. Xie, who was always aloof from the world, walking straight towards the wonton stand by the roadside.

It seems that it has been many years, and the wonton stall is here.The wooden tables and benches are old but clean, and the black pottery bowls and bamboo chopsticks are stacked in bamboo baskets.

Xie Jie walked over and asked for a bowl of wontons.

The wontons were wrapped earlier, placed on a dustpan next to the boiler, and covered with a blue cloth.When guests come, the stall owner lifts the cloth and uses chopsticks to put the wontons into the pot.

After a while, the wontons will be ready.Served in a black pottery bowl, green onion floats on the surface of the light soup, and the soup base is shrimp and a little seaweed.

Xie Jie stirred the soup with a spoon, Wen Lu called him worriedly: "My lord!"

He was worried that the food outside was not clean, but Xie Jie looked up at him, and then scooped up a wonton and put it in his mouth.

After eating just one, he didn't eat any more, but just stared blankly at the wonton in front of him.

He thought of that night, countless people wanted to curry favor with him, sending him priceless jewels and beauties who were all over the country.But only Yunzhuo, just give him a bowl of wontons.

But he was really worthless, and he lost his heart after a bowl of wontons.

Xie Jie laughed at himself, asked the stall owner to make another bowl of wontons, and ordered Wen Lu to send the wontons to Yun Zhuo.

Wen Lu really didn't understand what was so special about this bowl of wontons: "If Miss Yun Si wants to eat it, wouldn't it be possible that the cook in Yun's Mansion can't make it?"

"Just send it." Xie Jie glanced at him, got up and left the booth, turned and walked back.
