Chapter 110: What's wrong with me?
Yanxing Lihua is now undergoing the most difficult human test in his life.
The girl with silver hair and golden eyes stared at the small silver cube in her hand and remained silent for a long time.
Although she has always wanted to be a pure good person, in the more than ten years since she raised Xuan Yi, she has not done anything that violates her inner principles in order to survive.
But even if she added up the profits from all the things she had done that went against her heart, I am afraid that they would not be more than one-tenth of the profits from this time.
Besides - who can guarantee that the girl Xuan Yi picked up must be the person the ANBU is looking for?
If not, wouldn't I feel more at ease?
After all, in addition to giving out the richest rewards in the world, ANBU can also give out the most painful punishments in the world.
And - she always wants to give Xuan Yi a way out. Although she doesn't know what kind of business he does outside, judging from his secretive attitude, it is definitely not a good thing. He also wants to give himself a better life. Life, stop yourself from taking risks by working the night shift day after day.
Xing Lihua bit his lips tightly and tried to convince himself with one reason after another.
But the reason why she kept giving herself excuses was not because she couldn't convince herself.
Wan Zhong accepts it without arguing about etiquette and righteousness. How can Wan Zhong be added to me?
If she didn't do that, she and her brother would definitely die.
Now if she wanted to exchange that girl, it would just be a better life.
At first she only did those things to survive, but now she doesn't know if she can do them in pursuit of a better life.
She is only twenty-five years old. A girl's best time is about to pass, and her younger brother is about to be raised.
She has never enjoyed the sweetness of life. She has been ridiculed by fate since the day she was born. She has come step by step in the cracks of the world. It is not that she has never thought about getting married, but who would marry a woman like her? Besides, she She has also made an oath that she will never pass down her blood and let her children suffer the humiliation and suffering she once suffered.
However, if Anya is really the person they are looking for, then they will have the opportunity to get rid of their humble blood, find a husband they want, and be able to help those who have helped them before. What's wrong with that?
For the beauty of the palace, the support of wives and concubines, should I give it to the poor people I know?
This is called losing one's original intention.
At this moment, there was a slight creaking sound from the wooden door.
Xuan Yi is back.
Xing Lihua hurriedly hid the small silver square in his sleeve, stood up and went out to greet him. When he saw the brown-haired girl following Xuan Yi, his expression showed just the right amount of surprise.
Sure enough, as they said, Xuan Yi did not send Anya to the city.
Xing Lihua welcomed the two into Xuan Yi's room, because this was the only place in this wooden house that could be used as a living room. There, Xuan Yi told Xing Lihua what happened today.
From the initial discovery of the blockade of Star City, to accepting the kind gifts from the old people at the fish market, and the fact that Xing Lihua was still asleep when he came back at noon and did not wake her up, Xuan Yi told the truth, but when he was watching the sea in the afternoon, Finally there was a slight difference.
They saw the fairy mountain rising from the sea, and then hid on the rocks to avoid the ensuing small tsunami, and saw the frightened monsters in the sea fleeing.
But of course they did not rise up to fight. Instead, they huddled on the rocks and took advantage of the location to wait for the tide to recede. They successfully discovered a sea snake that unfortunately hit the rocks during the tide and smashed its head into pieces, and successfully found a sea snake crystal. nuclear.
Although all this is full of the black humor of waiting for something to happen, it is not impossible to happen. When Xuan Yi took out the blue crystal core that was still wrapped with faint electric light, Xing Lihua had no choice but to believe it.
Of course, this is also thanks to the fact that the two people finally harvested exactly seventeen crystal nuclei. If it had been sixteen or eighteen, then the sea snake that was unfortunately killed would inevitably have two heads, thus reducing Xuan Yi's words. credibility.
Having said this, Uncle Da happened to come over to deliver the ingredients he had not finished during the day. In addition to all kinds of vegetables, the old man also specially brought two pieces of ice that were as big as a basin and asked Xuan to put them on the table. The cabin is a place to cool down and relieve the heat. After all, guests are visiting, so you can’t treat them badly.
After saying goodbye to Uncle Da after some pleasantries, Xuan Yi and Xing Lihua began to prepare dinner. With the addition of Anya as a guest, the standard of the food was inevitably raised to a high level.
If the braised mutton with tender peas and onions in the morning was just a small test of using the remaining ingredients, then the veal steak with sauce and grilled dinner bag at noon can already show a little of Xuan Yi's cooking skills. After all, there is a huge sum of money. Emergency money.
And at night, when each of them was pregnant with eight Razer crystal cores, they couldn't help but feel a little rich and wealthy. In addition, Uncle Da brought all kinds of fresh ingredients. Xuan Yi looked at the two big pieces of ice. , I can't help but have some plans.
The boy first smashed the ice cubes and put them in copper basins and placed them in the four corners of the room. Then he crushed a few lemon slices, added water and ice, and then put them in the copper basins to chill. During the day, Uncle Da's bottle of red wine for celebration was also taken out. Buried in ice.
After taking measures to cool down, Xuan Yi moved the two honeycomb briquette stoves in the kitchen into his house, placed two small copper pots on them, first cut the mutton bones into pieces and buried them in the bottom, then added soybean oil, refined salt, and white sugar. , star anise, cinnamon, cumin, white pepper, orange peel and other spices. After confirming that Anya is not spicy, add black bean, pepper, ginger, dried chili and other heavy spices.
After the base ingredients are prepared, cover the pot and let it simmer slowly, and then go to the kitchen to prepare the side dishes one by one. Since everyone at the fish market knows that the Xuan family has guests, the vegetables delivered this time are far away. Not only the potatoes, onions, cabbage and the like last time, Xuan Yi held a kitchen knife and cut the fat and lean beef and mutton into thin slices, rolled them into thin rolls and put them on the plate. Then he took the fresh shrimps, shelled them and put them on the plate. I couldn't help but be overjoyed when I saw the tail salmon lying among the ingredients. I took it out, washed it, and sliced it into pieces.
On the other hand, Xing Lihua is not as good at knife skills as Xuan Yi, so she is only responsible for cleaning and processing simple vegetarian dishes such as mushrooms, spinach, pea sprouts, wild rice, winter bamboo shoots, soybean sprouts, and dried tofu.
Although Anya wanted to help, on the one hand she was really self-aware and knew that she could only eat but not cook. On the other hand, the two cooks were determined not to let the guests interfere, so she could only wait in the room. Li sipped lemonade and looked at the bubbling little copper pot.
Although Ye Ya has enjoyed countless meals that are thousands of times more exquisite than these, and hot pot is generally not among the recipes of the Ninth Princess, it is bitterly cold in the land of the Ninth Legion, and it is not uncommon to eat similar grilled hotpots. Sometimes Ye Xuan is big When banqueting soldiers, hot pot would be served almost every time, and Ye Ya would occasionally fish out a few pieces of meat to taste it.
But never before did she look forward to what she was going to eat more than now.
And - not because she is the Ninth Princess, but just because she is Anya's treat to others.
