Two hundred and seventieth eight chapters go with the flow
Liu Xiu's answer was beyond Shen Wanqiu's expectations. Based on her understanding of Liu Xiu, she probably knew that Liu Xiu was not a person who would easily hurt others.
Of course, Chen Wanqiu also knew that Liu Xiu's answer was not just saying that he didn't want to hurt himself. If Liu Xiu really didn't want to hurt himself, he might have directly refused to cut off his thoughts. The long pain is worse than short pain.
People are mutual, and Liu Xiu has something that attracts Chen Wanqiu. Then Liu Xiu's answer must be that Chen Wanqiu also has something that attracts him.
Chen Wanqiu was happy with Liu Xiu's answer, but she couldn't say how excited she was. Putting aside all other factors, no one could say what she would become in the future.
Looking at Chen Wanqiu, who almost made the whole world dim by the window, Liu Xiu stood up and smiled and said, "Miss Chen hasn't eaten yet, why not just eat something here?"
Liu Xiu's tone was calm, as before, as if nothing had happened.
Chen Wanqiu breathed a little relieved. She felt that this kind of getting along was really good. Both parties didn't have to deliberately act like this because of the previous conversation. Everything would be natural. It would be better if they could finally get together naturally.
Feeling the chill that the snowflakes first melted, she nodded and smiled: "Okay, Mr. Liu's craftsmanship Wanqiu is still unforgettable."
After a smile, Liu Xiu said, "But there is no good thing to entertain you now, there are only some seasonal foods such as bacon, jerky bamboo shoots, plums and vegetables. Of course, the rice is enough."
As he said that, Liu Xiu turned around and walked slowly towards the kitchen.
I have to say that Li Changan is still very careful. During his previous purchase, he actually bought bacon and other things for Liu Xiu. Otherwise, Liu Xiu would not even have anything to entertain Chen Wanqiu at this moment.
Looking at Liu Xiu's back, Chen Wanqiu pursed her lips and said, "Young Master Liu, you can call me Wanqiu."
After a pause, Liu Xiu did not turn around, but nodded and said, "Okay Wanqiu". As he said, he hesitated for a moment and said, "You should just call me Mr. Liu or Liu Xiu. It's not like to say this to be a distance from you. It's really a bit embarrassing to change my name..."
The name was chosen by my parents, and this cannot be changed. Chen Wanqiu called me Xiao Liu? It was so strange. Brother Liu? He is younger than him, Xiu'er? Hey...
"I'd better call you Mr. Liu." Chen Wanqiu smiled and seemed very happy when she thought that Liu Xiu was actually confused about a title.
Liu Xiu nodded and said, "I'm noticing, but continued to go to the kitchen."
With his eyes flashing, Chen Wanqiu said: "Mr. Liu, although Wanqiu comes from the Shen family, she is also good at cooking. Why don't I help you cook?"
"Just let it help me, after all, the person you come here is a guest, and you are not familiar with me, but... together?" Liu Xiu turned around and looked at her and said.
I was a little confused when I heard the first half of Chen Wanqiu, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, I nodded and said happily: "Okay."
Then, the two came to the kitchen one after another, and Liu Xiu introduced her to the storage points for firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. Chen Wanqiu listened silently and remembered it in her heart.
Next, the two of them cooperated with each other to cook and talk from time to time, and the atmosphere was harmonious and natural.
Liu Xiu found that Chen Wanqiu was not bragging. Although she was the daughter of the wealthy Shen family, a few actions in the kitchen showed that she really cooked frequently, and her skills were not bad, and everything was well organized.
The only thing is that even though the two of them didn't talk about that topic again, this was also her real understanding and contact with Liu Xiu, which inevitably seemed a little nervous.
Liu Xiu made fire, washed vegetables, washed rice, cooked rice, and detached Chen Wanqiu, rolled up her sleeves, cut vegetables and stir-fried. He communicated from time to time, and the two were very busy.
Soon after, the three simple side dishes were prepared, all of which were from Chen Wanqiu's craftsmanship, and during this period, Liu Xiu became a choreographer.
Plum vegetable pork, fried bacon with dried bamboo shoots, a pot of salted vegetable soup plus a portion of rice.
It is obvious that Chen Wanqiu is already doing her best. The simple three dishes are not as good as color, fragrance and flavor, but they look very delicious at first glance. There is no way. Liu Xiu's current conditions are limited, and no matter how good her skills are, she is still a good cook.
Moreover, her taste should be light, and the two meat dishes look not greasy at all.
"Young Master Liu, please try it. I don't know if it suits your taste. When you have the chance, Wanqiu will make a few special dishes for you to try." At the dinner table, Chen Wanqiu naturally spoke to Liu Xiu's rice.
Holding the chopsticks and taking the rice, Liu Xiu smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to it." As he said, Liu Xiu put down the bowl and chopsticks and stood up and said, "Wanqiu, are you drinking? To be honest, I don't have much fun as a person. Drinking a little wine is one of my few hobbies."
When he finished speaking, Liu Xiu had already walked over from the shelf next to him with a small jar of monkey wine. This was the last jar he had put here. There was a lot of inventory in the mountains, but it was frozen there, so it was probably all reimbursed.
I'm afraid I have to visit those monkey neighbors if I have time...
There is no need to deliberately change yourself because of others. Just let it go.
"Since Mr. Liu is so elegant, Wanqiu will have a drink with you. You know, I don't know how to drink, just a small cup." Chen Wanqiu also said generously, without deliberately flattering or postponing, and without persuading Liu Xiu to drink less.
Liu Xiu came to the dining table and sat down, poured a glass of wine for the two of them and said with a smile: "In this weather, it's good to drink a little glass to warm up your body. Seeing the snowflakes flying outside the window, drinking a sip of wine in the glass is a unique atmosphere."
Chen Wanqiu was not surprised that Liu Xiu could produce such a pot of 'Thousand Days of Drunk' worth a thousand gold coins. He looked up at the snow-covered world outside the window and said, "It's a great day like this."
He picked up the wine glass and signaled a little. Liu Xiu didn't persuade him to drink, and took a sip and said, "It's okay, I am not very motivated. I have an umbrella when it rains, light when it gets dark, fire when it gets cold, food when it gets hungry, and living in trouble. This is satisfying."
"This is the life that most people yearn for. Countless people cannot. In fact, people in the world are busy, and in the end they want is just such a life," Chen Wanqiu said with a sip of wine.
Monkey wine is very delicious and not spicy at all. She doesn't find it difficult to get a mouthful, but her cheeks are still covered with a hint of blush, making it even more beautiful.
"Yes, the world is full of troubles, and in the end, what people want is just a peaceful life," Liu Xiu put down his wine glass and said deeply.
Chen Wanqiu stuttered in a natural way and swallowed it. After swallowing it, she said curiously: "Young Master Liu, have you lived here all the time?"
"That's not. Actually, this is just a clinic I opened in Qingliu Town. I took a night off by chance. In fact, I really live in the deep mountains, and it's at least one or two thousand miles away. Under normal circumstances, I come here every morning and go back after dark," Liu Xiu said while eating.
After a pause, Chen Wanqiu stared at Liu Xiu with wide eyes and said in surprise: "Living in the mountains one or two thousand miles away? Go back and forth every morning and evening?"
To be honest, this scared her a little.
Liu Xiu nodded and said disrespectfully: "That's true, don't be too surprised Wanqiu. You saw it before. I was returning from the mountains at that time. To me, this distance is nothing. From your perspective, it's only a few steps."
Although he could not practice, he still had a little understanding of the warrior Chen Wanqiu. Thinking of Liu Xiu's unfathomable cultivation, he immediately said relievedly: "It's Wanqiu who made a fuss, but it still made me feel a little unbelievable."
"This is nothing. The fact is that my cultivation has reached a certain point. The so-called "close to the end" is a normal thing. I'll take you to experience it if you have the chance in the future." Liu Xiu said with a smile.
He didn't make much trouble on this topic. He changed the topic and said: "Wanqiu's craftsmanship is really good. To be honest, I thought my cooking skills were pretty good before this, and now it seems that there is still a lot of room for improvement."
He did not forget that Chen Wanqiu asked him to taste the skills at the beginning, so he naturally had to respond.
"It's not that good either. As a girl, especially Mr. Liu, I know that I can't practice martial arts. Only Nu Hong and Craftsmanship are a little bit good." Chen Wanqiu said a little embarrassedly.
If this topic continues to go deeper, it will be a little bit towards the 'future'. Now it is not time to talk about those things, so it is better to let it go. So Chen Wanqiu changed the topic and asked Liu Xiu: "Mr. Liu, can I take the initiative to ask? You can travel back and forth thousands of miles away. How long have you been practicing? I'm very curious. Well, if this involves Mr. Liu's privacy, please include it, just pretend that you have never asked it at all."
She was really curious. Since Liu Xiu gave her a chance to get to know, these things are inevitable to be exposed to. If she didn't ask at all, it would be too deliberate, and it would seem that she had no intention.
Looking at Chen Wanqiu, Liu Xiu smiled and said, "There is nothing that cannot be said. Wanqiu wouldn't think I am an old monster who has been practicing for decades or hundreds of years, right? Actually, it's only a few years old. I'm just sixteen years old now, but I don't just look so young on the surface."
Damn, Chen Wanqiu's chopsticks fell off the table. Mei looked at Liu Xiu with wide eyes and subconsciously said, "Sixteen?"
"Yes," Liu Xiu nodded.
Realizing that he had lost his composure, Chen Wanqiu's cheeks were slightly red, so he quickly picked up the chopsticks and said, "Mr. Liu laughed, I just, it's just too unbelievable."
"I understand, let alone you, anyone else may have the same reaction when I hear what I say. In fact, cultivation has little to do with age." Liu Xiu said distractedly, knowing that Chen Wanqiu could not practice, so he did not go into this topic.
Chen Wanqiu lowered her head slightly and whispered: "Young Master Liu is only sixteen years old, I am eighteen..."
It turns out that she cares about this.
Liu Xiu said silently: "Is this question very confusing?"
Yes, does this question need to be confused? Seeing Liu Xiu's calm expression on his face, Chen Wanqiu felt relieved, and turned to an extremely strange emotion and said, "I'm older than you..."
