15. The first gift(1/2)
Wanmin Hall.
Xiang Wan and Xiang Ling were handling fish in the backyard.
Beidou sat aside with a wine flask and drank quietly. From time to time he would pick up a Jueyun pepper from the plate and feed it to the rice cake.
"Hiccup~"
"Xiaowan, do you want to bring Hutao over to eat together?"
Xiang Wan stopped what he was doing and looked back at Beidou and asked, "Is that okay?"
"sure."
Beidou lay on the table and breathed a sigh of relief. He had been carrying weight all the time, and even sitting down would be very tiring.
It is indeed much more comfortable after lying down.
"I've been going to sea all the time, so I haven't seen that girl from the Hall of Purity much."
"But I heard about it from Xiang Ling a long time ago. She is an eccentric girl. I have always wanted to meet her, but there was no chance."
"Since she is your fiancée, just bring her here for me to see."
Xiang Wan nodded. Once he got acquainted with Sister Beidou, she would not treat him as an outsider at all. This feeling was very wonderful. Xiang Wan didn't hate it, so he nodded and smiled softly and said, "That's good."
"I just happened to give her the necklace I got from you. Think of it as a meeting gift from you."
Beidou held up his cheeks, looked up to the sky and let out a burst of joyful laughter.
Although they only got along for a short time, she was very satisfied with Xiang Wan in every aspect, even though Xiang Wan was just an ordinary person.
Xiang Wan and Xiang Ling worked hard for a full hour before finally handling and cleaning the five-meter-long fish.
"Sister Beidou, help us move the big pot in the kitchen."
"no problem."
Beidou put down the wine pot and walked to the kitchen to grab it. She took out the two-meter-long pot with ease.
Xiang Wan looked at the five-meter-long fish and silently calculated how much coarse salt was needed.
There are many resources in the King's Treasure House, including coarse salt.
With a slight thought, the coarse salt quickly flooded the cauldron, and it finally stopped after three-quarters of the time.
Xiangling looked at the large pot of salt, covered her mouth and let out an exclamation.
"Wow--"
"I'm afraid this is more salt than the total salt I've put in cooking since I was a kid."
"We can try more methods together in the future."
For a chef, there's nothing more fun than trying different ways of cooking a variety of dishes.
If so, it must be for people to taste your latest dishes.
And if there are two chefs, they can not only taste each other, but also give very constructive and valuable opinions, leading to more interesting attempts.
Xiang Ling is a person who dares to innovate continuously, and the same is true for Xiang Wan.
The two divided the work and cooperated. Xiang Wan was responsible for stirring with the shovel, while Xiang Ling was responsible for adding various spices.
When everything was ready, the two men took shovels and happily buried the salt on the big fish. Soon, the entire big fish was submerged in salt.
Xiangling held Guo Ba in front of the stacked firewood, and gently touched Guo Ba's smooth head.
"Cooker, spit fire!"
A strong fire can be made with dry wood.
There was a crackling sound, the blazing fire roasted the fish body wrapped in salt, and a special fragrance floated in the air.
"Hululu--"
The two looked back at the sound, and saw Beidou lying on the table and fast asleep. At this moment, Beidou's cheeks were slightly red, obviously he had drank too much.
Look at each other and smile.
Xiang Wan looked at the sky, he leaned into Xiang Ling's ear and whispered: "I'm going to pick up Hu Tao, I'll leave this place to you."
"Go ahead."
After confirming Xiang Wan's departure, Xiang Ling returned to the room and took a piece of clothing to put on Beidou. Xiang Ling smiled softly and lay down in front of the table quietly looking at Beidou's sleeping face.
"Drink, keep drinking..."
Beidou changed his hand to rest his head, then burped and moved his mouth slightly.
Xiangling stroked the rice cake in her arms and whispered, "Sister Beidou is just like a child after she falls asleep. It's so cute."
Hall of Rebirth.
Xiang Wan stood quietly at the door and waited.
In the room, Hutao was dealing with daily affairs seriously. She was holding a brush in her hand at the moment, and she would draw a few strokes from time to time. Finally, she finished the book and carefully placed it on the table. When she was about to reach out and take the book, she saw
We arrived at Xiang Wan who was standing at the door.
Hu Tao's eyes instantly filled with surprise. She put down her brush and appeared in front of Xiang Wan in a flash.
"Wanwan, why are you here?"
"I'll pick you up and take you to Wanmin Hall for dinner."
"Manmin Hall?"
Xiang Wan nodded, looking at the thick stack of books in the room, Xiang Wan rubbed her face with some distress.
"Tired?"
When Xiang Wan asked this question, Hu Tao's face fell instantly. She fell onto Xiang Wan, pouting slightly and complaining: "I'm so exhausted!"
"how much longer?"
"have no idea……"
Xiang Wan smiled softly, carried Hu Tao into the room, pulled out the chair and put her down gently. Xiang Wan smiled slightly and said, "Let me press it for you."
His hand fell on Hu Tao's fragrant shoulder, and he pressed it gently and soothingly. A faint smile instantly appeared on Hu Tao's delicate and fair face. She leaned back on the chair and closed her eyes to rest for a while.
When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were clear and clear.
Hu Tao picked up the brush in her little hand and began to review it carefully.
"Actually, Mr. Zhongli has already reviewed these files."
"But as the hall leader, I must remember every file to ensure that I can meet the different needs of different customers in the future."
"Thanks for your hard work."
"Hehe~"
"I like doing this, so I don't find it hard. What's more, I still have you to rely on every night."
Hu Tao turned around and smiled at Xiang Wan.
"When you finish your work, I will give you a gift."
"what gift?"
"You'll know then."
"Can't you reveal a little information?"
Walnut's playful appearance is so cute that most people would already be impressed by it.
"Can't."
"Hurry up and work, I'll be with you."
Half an hour later.
Hu Tao drank all the tea in her cup, and she lazily leaned on the chair and enjoyed Xiang Wan's massage.
Her neck moved slowly along Xiang Wan's warm hands.
"Wanwan, what gift do you want to give me?"
Hu Tao leaned back on the chair and looked up at Xiang Wan expectantly.
Xiang Wansheng is really very handsome, and looks very good no matter what angle you look at.
Golden light flashed, and a necklace appeared in Xiang Wan's hand.
The necklace is made of seventy-two tiny red pearls as a red rope, and the pendant is a bright ruby. The gem is engraved with a phoenix that is flapping its wings and flying high. As soon as it appeared, Hu Tao felt the meaning contained in it.
Intense fire element energy.
Hu Tao reached out and held the necklace in her hand, with a happy smile on her face. Her white and tender hands gently touched the ruby, and her beautiful plum blossom eyes sparkled with light.
"So beautiful!"
She couldn't help but laugh when she looked at Xiang Wan. She felt that her behavior at the moment was very strange.
