long moon smiles in the sky

Chapter 73

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao returned to Yuanjiazhuang, and as soon as they entered the mountain gate, family members from Yuanjia came to them and said, "You two are back, the old man has been looking for you all night."

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao waved their hands and said, "It's getting late, go to bed first, and talk to the old man tomorrow morning," and then they went back to their courtyard.

The two sat down, took a breath and drank a cup of tea. Zhan Zhao sighed, "Oh, things are getting more and more complicated." It’s okay if you don’t talk about it, the more you talk about it, the more itchy your heart will be.”

"Hmm..." Zhan Zhao nodded, suddenly touched his stomach, and said, "Do you feel hungry?"

Bai Yutang also touched his stomach, nodded, and said, "By the way, we haven't had dinner yet!"

Both of them were a little discouraged at the same time, they were so busy investigating the case that they didn't even eat food.

"Let's go down the mountain and get some food." Bai Yutang stood up.

"Xiashan Restaurant and Inn should be closed now." Zhan Zhao said, "Why don't you go to the kitchen to see if there is anything to eat." After speaking, he stood up and walked to the kitchen in the backyard.

Bai Yutang shrugged and followed Zhan Zhao to the back.

After asking the servant for directions, when they arrived in the kitchen, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang thought there would be a cook or something, but there was no one, so they looked at each other dejectedly.

"This is such a big house, why doesn't it even have a cook?" Bai Yutang frowned.

"I'm probably very busy today, so let's go back and rest." Zhan Zhao opened the cupboard and looked at it, and said, "There are only raw ones and not cooked ones."

"That's not true." Bai Yutang laughed, "Thousands of people eat together, it's strange if they don't finish eating."

"There's flour." Zhan Zhao took out the ingredients from a cupboard, found eggs and so on, and said, "There's still meat in the cupboard... but it's all raw."

Bai Yutang folded his arms and leaned aside, and asked, "Master Zhan, can you cook?"

Zhan Zhao turned his head and glanced at Bai Yutang, and said, "Hmm...it seems to be a little bit better."

"Really?" Bai Yutang became interested, walked over, brought the flour, and said to Zhan Zhao, "Why don't you cook a meal for me?"

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes and said, "Aren't you very good at doing it? Why don't you do it?"

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, and said casually, "I want to eat your cooking, cat, you can't do it at all, can you?"

Zhan Zhao glanced at him, trying to be brave, "Who said that?"

"That's good, I'm waiting to eat today." Bai Yutang opened the flour, glanced inside, and asked, "Cat, what do you want to eat?"

Zhan Zhao thought about it, looked at it, there were eggs, flour, vegetables, fresh beef...

"Well, how about... make some noodles? Egg and beef noodles or something?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Okay." Bai Yutang nodded and asked, "Where's the face?"

Zhan Zhao rubbed his chin, reached out and took a basin from the side, poured some water into it, then poured some flour into it... poured some more...

"Cat, what are you doing?" Bai Yutang asked.

Zhan Zhao frowned, and said, "Yes, make a face."

Bai Yutang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and didn't move, watching Zhan Zhao busy.

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, took another jar of salt, and poured some into it...

"Didn't other people knead noodles into one dough?" Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao, "Why is your noodle soup?"

"Uh..." Zhan Zhao stared at the noodle soup in the washbasin, and asked, "Is there a lack of flour?"

After thinking about it, I picked up the flour bag and added flour to the basin... It's just that Zhan Weiwei put too much water in the beginning, pouring most of the bag of flour in, it just became a thicker noodle soup.

"That's not right." Zhan Zhao wondered, and said, "I see that every time the kitchen lady makes dough, she doesn't use much flour."

Bai Yutang looked up at Zhan Zhao, "Cat, can you do it?"

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang, hesitated for a while, and said, "Yes..."

Bai Yutang twitched his eyebrows and asked, "Then have you done it before?"

"Uh...um." Zhan Zhao nodded, "I've seen someone do it."

Bai Yutang looked at him for a while, thinking that he could eat the noodles made by the cat himself, but he was a three-legged cat... Thinking of this, he flicked the flour on Zhan Zhao's body, "Three-legged cat."

Zhan Zhao lowered his head and saw white balls of flour on his blue clothes... Suddenly he felt hungry, this rat couldn't cook by himself, and said he... Thinking of this, he grabbed a handful of flour and went to Bai Yutang Sprinkling on the body, Bai Yutang dodged, and the two quarreled a few words... Then, they met eyes again, and started a flour fight...

While playing happily, I heard someone outside talking, "You ate so much just now, why are you hungry again? You idiot."

"I'm growing up, rotten wood, aren't you full?!" While speaking, two people walked in... Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang turned their faces to look outside, and the two looked inside... The four of them met each other Watch... silence.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were covered in flour, and they were still holding the flour in their hands. There was a big basin beside them, which was full of flour soup.

And it was Chen Xing and his master Luo Tongqing who came in, they opened their mouths wide and looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.

After a while, Luo Tongqing calmly restored his original expression, and saluted Bai Yutang, "Master Uncle, Zhan Daxia."

Chen Xing also came to his senses, and muttered in a low voice, "How old are you? You are still so senior to play with food... oops."

Before he finished speaking, Luo Tongqing raised his hand and said, "It's not big or small!"

Chen Xing rubbed his head dissatisfied, and said, "Luo Tongqing, you are flattering and bullying the little!"

Luo Tongqing raised his eyes and rolled his eyes at him, "Then you cook yourself?"

Chen Xing softened immediately, and muttered softly, "You're ruthless."

Luo Tongqing walked to the table, looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, and asked, "Master Uncle, what do you want to do?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang coughed in embarrassment, Bai Yutang waved his hand and said, "This is made by the cat!"

Luo Tongqing didn't understand Bai Yutang's meaning for a while, stretched out his hand to touch his chin, and said, "The cat in Yuanjiazhuang is so lawless that he even plays with flour. If I catch him, he will roll the flour and throw it into the frying pan. Impossible!"

"Pfft..." Bai Yutang couldn't hold back, and turned to the side with a grin.

Zhan Zhao turned pale, and kicked him with his heel... There was a black footprint on the hem of Bai Yutang's snow-white clothes... Seeing Bai Yutang's face turned pale, Zhan Zhao looked up in satisfaction.

"Hmm...it's too wasteful." Luo Tongqing said to Chen Xing, "Chen Xing, light a fire, let me make pancakes."

"Fried pancakes?" Zhan Zhao wondered, "How do you fry pancakes?"

After finishing the question, Chen Xing and Luo Tongqing looked up at him together, with deep contempt in their eyes...

Bai Yutang turned away helplessly.

Zhan Zhao stood aside calmly, decided to wait for food, and stopped talking.

Luo Tongqing stirred the pot of flour paste again, washed his hands, dipped it in a bit, tasted it, put some salt and vegetable oil in it, beat two eggs and mixed them carefully with chopsticks, at this time, the fire was also lit Woke up.

Luo Tongqing poured a small spoonful of vegetable oil into the pot, scooped up the oil with a shovel, and covered the bottom of the pot with a thin layer, then scooped up the powder soup with a large spoon, and spread it into the pot. After a while, The powder soup turned into a thin cake.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang watched curiously, and smelled the aroma of egg pancakes.

Luo Tongqing cooked it in the same way. For the big pot of noodle soup, he made more than a dozen cakes, scooped up all the cakes, put them on the cutting board, shook his head, and said, "It's too wasteful, it's enough for five people to eat."

Zhan Zhao counted, there are exactly four people here, so why not eat more?

Luo Tongqing cut the meat into shreds again...the knife is skillful and fast.

Chen Xing had already washed the green vegetables, and cut two large lengths of scallions. Luo Tongqing also cut them, put vegetable oil in the pot, fried the meat, and then put the vegetables in to fry.

He asked Chenxing to flip the dishes with a spoon, raised his hand, and quickly cut the cakes on the cutting board into thin strips, and then put them in the hot pan.

Luo Tongqing asked Chenxing to put out the fire, took sugar, salt and pepper noodles from the stove and poured them on top of the pancakes, and finally put chopped green onions in, and stir-fried several times... In an instant, the whole kitchen smelled strangely fragrant.

Zhan Zhao was dumbfounded, feeling hungry, Bai Yutang took a look at Zhan Zhao, raised his eyebrows - did you see that?This is called knowing how to do it!

Zhan Zhao squinted his eyes and glared at him - dead mouse!

When the pancakes came out of the pan, Luo Tongqing filled five big pots, one pot for each of the four people, and there was an extra pot...

Chen Xing ate his portion, and said, "I'll eat that as a supper tonight.

Luo Tongqing looked at him helplessly, "It's already supper now!"

Chen Xing curled her lips and said, "Then have two suppers."

Luo Tongqing shook his head, "You eat so much, be careful!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang held fried pancakes, looked at the two masters and apprentices, and exchanged glances—remember that Luo Tongqing just punished Chen Xing not to eat dinner, why did he come to make it for him himself.

After thinking about it, it became clear, no wonder that Chen Xing was so presumptuous, it turned out that Luo Tong was cold-mouthed, but his heart was soft-hearted, no matter how harsh his words were, he was never really punished, that's why he got used to being so unscrupulous and lawless an apprentice of

Both Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao felt that Luo Tongqing was a nice person, Bai Yutang said, "Come and eat in our yard, there is good wine."

"Okay!" Chen Xing was happy, "I just love drinking!"

Luo Tongqing gave him another roasted chestnut and said, "You should say, thank Master Zeng!"

Everyone is powerless...

Back in Bai Yutang's courtyard, everyone sat in front of the stone table, Bai Yutang opened a jar of good wine, Zhan Zhao brought over four glasses, poured the wine, and everyone ate pancakes while drinking .

This Luo Tongqing's craftsmanship is not built, and Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are also hungry, and they feel that the fried pancakes are delicious, and even Bai Yutang, who has always been picky, is full of praise.

Zhan Zhao praised, "Brother Luo, what a skill."

Luo Tongqing nodded, "It's a big thank you to Zhan Daxia."

"Amazing, isn't it?" Chen Xing said with his mouth full of pancakes, "My master's craftsmanship is the best in the world!"

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded.

"By the way...that great-great-grandfather..." Chen Xing looked at Bai Yutang, wanting to call a great-grand-uncle to come out, but Bai Yutang waved his hand and said, "Call Wu Ye, Brother Bai, whatever you want, great-grand-uncle is free." gone."

Chen Xing glanced at Bai Yutang, and said with a smile, "You are very nice, so let me call you Big Brother Bai."

Bai Yutang nodded, Zhan Zhao also smiled, Luo Tong gave Chen Xing an innocent look, and whispered, "Deceive the master and destroy the ancestor."

Chen Xing reached out, grabbed half a bowl of fried pancakes from his bowl, continued to eat, and said to Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao... "The person from the Black Mountain School just now didn't show up again."

"I've never heard of that Black Mountain faction." Zhan Zhao said.

"The Black Mountain Sect is a newly established sect in the past six months." At this time, someone walked in at the door, and said with a smile, "As for the origin, I am not very clear, but the boss, Master Heishan, is said to be very powerful."

When everyone turned their heads, they saw Tang Mi walking in unsteadily, "I came in smelling the scent, I'm so hungry."

Luo Tongqing pointed to the leftover pancake and said, "There is one more."

"That's great." Tang Mi came over with a smile, sat down with a shy face, and ate fried pancakes.

Chen Xing muttered in a low voice, and said, "That's my supper."

Luo Tongqing glared at him, "Idiot."

Chen Xing raised his eyebrows, pointed at Luo Tongqing and said, "You are the one who deceives the master and destroys the ancestors. He is from the Tang Sect, and he has become very prestigious outside just now. Those from the Black Mountain Sect are afraid of the Tang Sect, not the Hengshan Sect!"

"What?" Luo Tongqing frowned, looking at Chen Xing.

"I said I belonged to the Hengshan sect, but they said they had never heard of it, and when they heard that he belonged to the Tang sect, they all ran away in fright!" Chen Xing muttered in a low voice, and looked at Tang Mi dissatisfiedly, "It seems that the Tang sect is better than the Tang sect." How many times stronger we are."

Luo Tongqing glared at Chen Xing and said, "That's because you didn't live up to it!"

Chen Xing flat-mouthed, very dissatisfied.

Luo Tongqing added the last bit of fried cake in his bowl into Chen Xing's bowl, put down the bowl and chopsticks, turned to look at Tang Mi, and said seriously, "You and I will have a duel."

"Ahem..." Not only Tang Mi, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also choked on a mouthful of fried pancakes and coughed.

Tang Mi opened his eyes wide and looked at Luo Tongqing, and said, "I don't fight anyone except for grabbing women."

Luo Tongqing blinked, and said indifferently, "That's your business. If I don't beat you, I will lose face in front of my disciples. Eat quickly." After finishing speaking, he poured a cup of tea and water, and said to Chen Xing, "After eating, Go get my sword!"

"Yeah!" Chen Xing quickly swiped a few mouthfuls, stuffed a mouthful of pancakes and ran back to get the sword for Luo Tongqing.

Tang Mi looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang who couldn't laugh or cry, as if to say——Bai Yutang, aren't you this kid's elder?Say something nice.

But Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked very interested while eating fried pancakes, Zhan Zhao asked, "Who are you betting on?"

Bai Yutang chewed on fried cakes, and said, "Then bet on my family, a jar of pear blossoms, and Luo Tongqing."

"Then I'll bet on Tang Mi." Zhan Zhao said, "A jar of white pear blossoms, and a box of eight-treasure longan cakes."
