Chapter 172: There is no one like me in the world

Xu Qiyan rarely has the following experience, for the following reasons: First, noodles produced on the assembly line are not tasty. Second, everyone can cook noodles, but it is actually very difficult to cook them deliciously.

Ninety-nine percent of people do not cook delicious noodles.

"At least the noodles I made by myself are strong enough..."

In the kitchen, Xu Qiyan mixed flour, sometimes kneading, sometimes rubbing, sometimes pinching... focused and serious.

Put the kneaded noodles aside first, cut a piece of fat meat and fry the oil residue, then pick it up and put it on a plate. Then use the fried lard to fry a poached egg.

Throw the pulled noodles into boiling water and cook them. Take out the porcelain bottle from your arms and pour the simple version of chicken essence into the boiling broth.

The rich and fresh fragrance filled the entire kitchen, making people salivate. Xu Qiyan himself did not eat, so he swallowed his saliva.

On the other side, Chu Caiwei and Princess Huaiqing walked down the stairs side by side. The eldest princess, whose skirt was dragging on the stairs, glanced at Chu Caiwei and said casually:

"How did you find that haunted house?"

Chu Caiwei was stunned for a moment, then realized what the eldest princess meant, and said briskly: "Xu Ningyan wants to buy a house, and I accompanied him to look at Feng Shui."

"I know all this, I'm asking how to find that house." The eldest princess asked.

"Princess, what you said is very strange, the old agent let us find it." Chu Caiwei said.

Old agent? The eldest princess's beautiful eyes flashed, and she thought of many things in an instant, and asked tentatively: "What's so special about the old agent?"

"Very conscientious." Chu Caiwei took out a piece of cake from her deerskin waist bag, put it in her white and tender palm, and handed it to the eldest princess.

Very conscientious? The princess waved her hand, indicating that she didn't want to, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Xu Qian'an thinks the haunted house is cheap, and he keeps trying to stop us, fearing that something might happen." Chu Caiwei happily stuffed the cake into her mouth. She liked being friends with Huaiqing the most because she would never snatch anything delicious from her.

If it was Xu Ningyan, that annoying guy, he might really eat it if she was so polite.

"..." The princess was silent for a long time and sighed. She was not rational enough to try to get information from this girl.

It would be fine to get information from her, but she was also trying to be witty, which was no different from throwing a wink to a blind man.

Thinking of this, Princess Huaiqing frowned slightly and looked at her friend: "You have been too close to Xu Ningyan recently."

"Really?" Chu Caiwei was at a loss.

"Have you been in contact with other men so frequently?" The princess added, "My senior brothers in the Imperial Observatory don't count."

Chu Caiwei thought about it, and then realized, "Yeah," and said, "Yes, he always finds ways to play with me."

Princess Huaiqing pursed her lips, thinking. At this time, she smelled a faint fragrance that made her saliva secrete.

"Good, good fragrance... Which senior brother bought delicious food? Hmm, very fresh, something I haven't eaten before." Chu Caiwei swallowed her saliva, and her eyes glowed with desire.

...

"Holding the bright moon and picking the stars, there is no one like me in the world."

Suddenly, a deep chanting sound came from the kitchen, which scared Xu Qian'an. Turning his head, he saw a white-robed sorcerer with his back to him.

You are a psychopath, you almost gave me a heart attack... Xu Qian'an said calmly, "You are here."

The plain and low voice, as if he were an old friend who had known each other for half a lifetime, gave rise to the vicissitudes of time and the passing of time.

The back figure was stunned for a moment, and replied in the same deep and plain tone: "Yes, I am here."

After saying that, he was looking forward to how the person behind him would answer.

A long sigh came, and it was a hoarse voice, sighing: "I didn't expect that after twenty years of separation, you still like to turn your back on everyone."

Turn your back on everyone? ! These four simple words made the back figure in white feel a huge sense of substitution, feeling that he was a strong man at the top, loneliness, coldness, and invincibility were the eternal tones.

After a pause, he said lightly: "But even if I am like this, I am attracted to you."

It was so natural... This king of bullies has something. Xu Qian'an thought for a moment and said sadly:

"I knew that when this furnace of Nine-Turn Golden Pill was refined, it would be the day for you to make a move. You still won't let me go."

"Humph, treasures belong to those with virtue."

"Heh, Yang Qianhuan, have you ever been defeated?"

Steam curled up and floated between the two of them, and the atmosphere in the kitchen suddenly became tense. But at this moment, a crisp voice broke the atmosphere.

"What are you two doing?" Chu Caiwei stood at the door and glanced at the two of them blankly.

Xu Qian'an immediately lowered his head and stirred the noodles in the pot to hide the embarrassment in his heart.

Yang Qianhuan remained unmoved, still standing with his hands behind his back, his back to everyone, and snorted: "Even if Junior Sister pleads for you, I will never..."

Chu Caiwei said: "Brother Yang, why are you in the kitchen?"

Yang Qianhuan: "...Oh, I'm here to eat noodles."

Chu Caiwei happily ran to the stove, drooling, staring at a pot of noodles, and said with a smile: "How do you know I haven't eaten?"

Because I came at the right time... Xu Qi'an smiled and said: "I promised to give you the noodles to eat."

Just in time, the noodles in the pot were cooked. Xu Qi'an looked at the beautiful woman in the pink palace skirt behind him and tried: "Princess, would you like a bowl?"

The cold Princess Huaiqing hesitated for a moment, her eyes fell uncontrollably into the pot, and she nodded uncomfortably: "Okay."

Considering Chu Caiwei's appetite, Xu Qi'an cooked a lot of noodles. If it was divided among four people, it would be just one bowl per person.

He scooped up the noodles, soaked them in cold water, and then scooped out the broth and poured it into four bowls. He evenly distributed the noodles into the bowls, covered them with poached eggs, and sprinkled them with chopped green onions and oil residue.

"Brother Yang, come and eat together." Xu Qian'an called, thinking that it was a good opportunity to see what you look like.

As soon as this thought came up, he saw the array pattern spreading under Yang Qianhuan's feet, and then he disappeared, taking away a bowl of noodles.

Chu Caiwei sat at the table with the bowl in her hand, ate a grain of oil residue first, nodded with satisfaction, and then couldn't wait to drink a mouthful of soup.

Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she felt that her taste buds had received an unprecedented impact.

She felt that every cell in her body was shouting:

Delicious!

Delicious!

Delicious!

For those who eat freshened food for the first time, this is indeed an unforgettable taste...Xu Qian'an smiled proudly and looked at the eldest princess.

The princess ate very elegantly, but she ate very quickly. When she noticed Xu Qi'an looking at her, she stopped eating and looked back expressionlessly.

Xu Qi'an laughed dryly and lowered his head to eat noodles.

The princess immediately lowered her head and ate noodles in small bites, as if she didn't want to waste a moment or wait.

In the quiet and deserted room, Yang Qianhuan squatted in the corner with his back to everyone, holding the bowl and slurping noodles.

This kid is really interesting. He knows alchemy, speaks well, and cooks delicious noodles... Thinking of this, Yang Qianhuan suddenly stopped. Isn't this kind of attention-grabbing treatment exactly what he wants?

This kid... is a strong rival.

.....

After eating the noodles, Xu Qi'an looked at Chu Caiwei and said, "How do you feel?"

"Delicious." Chu Caiwei pecked his head.

"This is my secret recipe, the essence extracted through unique alchemy." Xu Qian'an said: "This is what I want to teach you, the thing to become an alchemist."

Princess Huaiqing, who was wiping her rosy little mouth with a silk handkerchief, stopped involuntarily when a strange light flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"Is it difficult?" Chu Caiwei was first concerned about the difficulty of this question.

"It's very difficult. After all, I only have a partial understanding of it." Xu Qian'an said, and seeing Chu Caiwei's face fall immediately, he added seriously:

"If you can't make it, you won't be able to eat noodles like this in the future, and you won't be able to eat better food."

The little beauty with an oval face opened her almond eyes and suddenly burned with a strong fighting spirit.

"Is this your original creation?" Princess Huaiqing asked.

"Well, I worked hard to create it for Miss Caiwei." After saying that, he regretted it. Such words should not be said in front of the first wife.

Sure enough, Princess Huaiqing looked at him meaningfully, and said with a half-smile: "You care about Caiwei."

"Miss Caiwei is my benefactor, so I care about her." Xu Qi'an said.

"How much?" The oval-faced beauty was quite happy to hear such words.

"I will be tough if I ask for something." Xu Qi'an said reservedly.

Then he remembered that Princess Huaiqing was also a benefactor, and added: "I do the same to the princess."

Princess Huaiqing did not comment.

....

Princess Huaiqing had something else to do, so she sat for a while and then left. Xu Qi'an took out the prepared "Alchemy Secret Book", which recorded the production process of chicken essence and the concept of MSG.

After discussing with Miss Caiwei for a long time, Xu Qi'an said: "I have something to ask the senior brothers of the Sitianjian."

He planned to ask the sorcerers of the Sitianjian for help to save the poor child in the Health Hall. The reason why he did not ask Song Qing was that he was afraid that the concept of "human beast" would stimulate the crazy brain nerves of Senior Brother Song.

He might study the child in the name of treatment, and his starting point would definitely not be malicious, but Song Qing's half-baked biological alchemy would mess things up.

It is also possible that he would be stopped by Monk Hengyuan before he could experiment, and it would be unpleasant.

"Holding the bright moon and picking the stars, there is no one like me in the world." Yang Qianhuan's back appeared, and he said lightly: "What's the matter?"

Xu Qian'an glanced at the innocent foodie girl and pondered: "Excuse me for a moment."

He and Yang Qianhuan went outside and told each other about the poor child, "Senior Brother Yang, the child can't survive more than three days. I want to ask the senior brother of the Sitianjian to help treat him."

"Okay!" Yang Qianhuan agreed, and asked again: "Why do you want to avoid Junior Sister Caiwei."

Xu Qian'an shook his head: "Why tell her?"

Yang Qianhuan nodded: "Yes, you have the same noble qualities as me."

.....

Late at night, Health Hall.

Hengyuan, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes. He was inspired. He left the room, shrunk into an inch, and soon reached the backyard.

The door of the woodshed was open. In the dim moonlight, a man in white was vaguely seen standing in the darkness of the house.

Hengyuan stopped, his ears moved slightly, and after hearing the child's steady breathing, his expression relaxed and he said in a deep voice:

"Who are you?"

"Holding the bright moon and picking the stars, there is no one like me in the world." The man in white said lightly.

So arrogant... Hearing such words, even the monk Hengyuan, who was a monk, couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows and had a slight impulse to compete with him.

This emotion can be described in easy-to-understand words: I can't stand your arrogant look.

The man in white said with a "huh" and sneered: "From your attitude, it seems that you don't know me. There are people in the capital who don't know me."

He seemed to be provoking... This person is not easy to deal with... Hengyuan frowned.

The man in white chuckled disdainfully, and the formation pattern under his feet spread and disappeared abruptly.

Monk Hengyuan exhaled, his tense muscles relaxed, and he relaxed his vigilance. He walked into the wood room in a daze, lit the oil lamp, and checked the child's physical condition.

The breathing was stable, the heart pulse was normal, much better than during the day. At this time, with the light of the oil lamp, he noticed a porcelain bottle and a prescription next to the child.

Prescription... white clothes... He is a sorcerer from the Sitianjian. It was not until this moment that Hengyuan realized that this guy was here to see a doctor.

Those who didn't know would think he was looking for trouble.

Monk Hengyuan put away the prescription and porcelain bottle, and suddenly realized that the man in white was a formation master, a fourth-grade sorcerer.

Lord Xu was able to invite a fourth-grade sorcerer to treat this child... Hengyuan was slightly moved and shocked.
