Sima Xiao coquettishly lifted a strand of hair that he had left on his forehead, "How is it? Is he so handsome that you can hardly recognize him?"

Shen Yizhi laughed, "Okay, stop flirting here, hurry up and cook, we are all hungry."

"Come and help me." Sima Xiao walked towards the kitchen and unceremoniously asked her to serve as a soldier.

After entering the kitchen, Sima Xiao began to give orders to Shen Yizi.

"Take out the big black fish in the water tank and deal with it."

"Go outside and cut a purple bamboo of suitable thickness."

"Go to the yard and catch a goose."

If anyone else dared to tell her this, Shen Yizi would teach him a lesson in no time.

But who can blame him for being Sima Xiao?

He is the only one who can conquer her in cooking skills.

If cooking skills were graded, she could reach level 3, so the food she made would naturally be three stars in terms of deliciousness.

With the help of the ingredients in the space and the artifact Changran Ding, it can reach four stars or four and a half stars.

However, Sima Xiao does not rely on anything, but with his skillful hands, even ordinary ingredients can reach the level of four and a half stars or even five stars.

He is the man favored by the God of Cooking.

She can't compare with him, because her talent is not in cooking.

Her current cooking skills are entirely the result of her love for learning.

So she admired him in cooking. Thinking that she would be able to eat the delicious food he cooked soon, she thought it was nothing to do a little work.

After preparing the fish and bamboo, Shen Yizi came to the yard and prepared to catch the goose with his bare hands.

In the yard, Qing Bao squatted beside the hawksbill turtle basin and looked at his precious fish.

Yuanbao walked slowly with his hands behind his back like a little scholar, as if he was studying the terrain.

Nian Nian was riding on a big white goose, "Gee! Gee! Gee! Go faster——"

The three children have each found their own happiness.

Shen Yizhi looked around the flock of geese. Hmm, the one squatting on the millstone is neither fat nor thin, with smooth and graceful lines. It must have exercised a lot, and its meat must be very firm and delicious. It's you! Perhaps it noticed her death stare, and the chosen big white goose started to make trouble. It flapped its wings and sank into the flock of geese, trying to confuse the audience and hide itself perfectly in it.

Unfortunately, it was too naive and had no idea of ​​Shen Yizi's strength.

She threw a restraining talisman over, and the goose was fixed in place, unable to move or speak, just like a goose statue.

The geese nearby thought a fake goose had sneaked in and pecked at it a few times. When they saw that it didn't react, they pecked even harder.

Shen Yizhi was anxious when she saw this. This was the goose she had chosen to cook. What if they pecked it? She threw out a handful of spiritual rice again.

The geese were all rushing to grab food, so how could they care about the "fake goose"? Shen Yizhi walked over and picked it up easily.

Just as she was about to go back to the kitchen, Qing Bao suddenly called out, "Mom, come and see! Xiao Hua laid an egg!"

What is the meaning of the little peanut egg?

Shen Yizhizi moved closer and saw a round object the size of an egg lying in the basin. It was white with light brown spots, and at first glance it looked like an egg.

She picked it up and looked at it, "Is it really from Peanut?"

"Yes! I saw it with my own eyes!"

A fish actually laid an "egg", this is unscientific! Shen Yizhi put the "egg" away and planned to study it carefully in the evening.

For Shen Yizhi's sake, Sima Xiao cooked a large table of dishes.

Beggar's fish, drunken goose, bamboo fungus and winter melon meatball soup, bamboo shoots fried with mushroom oil, braised bamboo rat, fish belly with crab roe, and stir-fried clams.

Clams are a type of shellfish that grows in the shallow sea near the coast. Their shells are covered with neat radial grooves, so people here call them "corrugated shells". Their shells can be used as medicine, and their meat is rich in nutrients. They also have the effects of nourishing blood, strengthening the stomach, sobering up, and resolving phlegm.

Stir-fried clams are the best way to go with wine. Sima Xiao would fry a plate of them when he had nothing to do and eat them while drinking.

The staple food is bamboo tube braised rice, with braised shrimp, bacon, crab sauce, green beans and mushrooms wrapped in the rice grains. Every grain of rice has fully absorbed the sauce. When you open it, the fragrance is so fragrant that it makes you feel like you are in heaven.

"Come, sit down and eat!" Sima Xiao didn't bother to be polite with them and sat down first.

Shen Yizhi glanced and said, "Hey, why is there no wine?"

Sima Xiao glanced at her and said, "I have to ask you about this."

He was awakened by the smell of the jar of wine she took out, but he was so shocked to see her suddenly that he forgot about the wine for a moment.

After cooking a meal, won’t you come to your senses?

How could Shen Yizhi not understand what he meant? He immediately offered the wine.

"This jar of wine is very strong. You drink it yourself. We'll drink this one." She took out another jar of lighter and more refreshing fruit wine.

A group of people here were eating and drinking happily, but in the Xia Mansion on the other side, there was a gloomy atmosphere.

Shuangqing Pavilion.

The courtyard where Xia Yan lives.

She woke up from a nap, rang the bell at the bedside, and the maid came in with a basin of water to serve her.

He walked to the bed, bent down to put down the basin, and looked at her: "Miss——"

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly let out a terrified scream: "Ah! Ghost!"

The basin in her hand fell to the ground with a clang, splashing water everywhere, but the maid didn't care about that and ran out in a panic.

The figure disappeared in a flash.

Xia Yan had just woken up and her head was still a little dizzy. She didn't react for a while.

When he realized what the maid had done, he was instantly furious. How dare this slut!

She stood up suddenly and kicked the basin over, but she forgot that she was not wearing shoes yet. Her toes came into direct contact with the copper basin, and her face twisted in pain.

She bent over and hugged her feet, gasping in pain.

I caught a glimpse of the face reflected in the copper basin.

It is full of potholes and covered with pustules of various sizes, like a toad.

"Ah! Ghost!" She screamed in terror like the maid.

The maid ran out and alarmed many people.

The mistress of the Xia family, the controller of the entire backyard, and the mother of the brother and sister Xia Yan and Xia Ben, An, quickly got the news and rushed to her daughter's yard.

"Yanyan, mother has punished that nonsense maid. It's okay now. The wound on your face will heal quickly after applying medicine, just like before."

An walked towards Xia Yan, comforting her softly.

However, Xia Yan always sat on the ground with her back to her.

Seeing her distraught look, An became even more angry with the maid. She thought the punishment was too light. It was just two scars, but she actually said that her Yanyan was a ghost.

"Yanyan, get up quickly, the ground is cold."

An put her hands on Xia Yan's shoulders and tried to pull her up.
