Chapter 37 At the end, you will find that the vegetables are all fresh
Tao Zi swallowed the countless words in her mouth, thinking back to the time when she disguised herself as a man and entered a gambling house, where she could fight with ruffians and not lose, and was called a female gangster in the world of cultivating immortals.
But now, facing this innocent face, she didn't know how to scold him. If he wasn't her junior apprentice, if they were more familiar with each other... She took a deep breath and smiled with difficulty: "It's okay, take your time, I can always control it."
It's normal for a young man in his teens to lose control of his strength. He's still young... still young? As soon as the word came out, Tao Zi's anger jumped out.
She was only in her teens, not young anymore. If she were in an ordinary family, she would have been married and had children long ago. How could she not even be able to catch a fish? She narrowed her eyes and looked at Han Yueshan. He hadn't noticed the danger yet. He carefully held the upper and lower parts of the fish in his hands and said with a smile: "Sister, you are not scared, are you? I should have been more gentle just now."
Tao Zi paused, put away those emotions, and said: "It's okay, is there anything I can help you with?"
"No, I'm enough on my own. If you're bored, just watch from the side."
He said as he walked into the kitchen.
Watching his back as he walked in, she rubbed her forehead. Forget it. Her mind and conscience were truly hopeless. For someone like Yue Shan, that wasn't a big deal. Besides, why would she even think of them? It was simply an insult to Yue Shan.
Han Yueshan didn't know that he had escaped a disaster for the time being. He calmly put the fish aside and picked up the kitchen knife to cut vegetables. Considering the presence of a beautiful woman, he tried to make his movements as graceful and elegant as possible.
Tao Zi looked at the green vegetables pressed in his palm and suddenly asked, "Junior brother, what's the matter with the small cut on the green vegetable leaf?"
He glanced down and replied naturally, "The fish are biting, so it's not a big deal."
"Then why are the vegetables placed together with the fish?"
Han Yueshan explained seriously, "We can't eat all the fish in a short time, so we have to keep them. The vegetable garden is far away from here, so we can pick two days' worth or more at a time. It will save trouble, and we can also use the fish for fish farming."
"It sounds like there's no need to put them together."
"Yes, this way we can see which piece of vegetable is fresher."
Tao Zi blinked, not daring to believe what she heard. To confirm, she asked again, "Whichever leaf the fish bites, that leaf is fresher?"
He replied while chopping vegetables: "Of course, if it's not fresh, the fish won't eat it."
She looked down at the little fish in the bucket that occasionally jumped vigorously, closed her eyes, and said, "In the end, will you find that the vegetables are all fresh?"
Han Yueshan turned his head and asked in surprise: "Senior Sister, how did you know?"
"Not only do I know this, I also know that even if there's a small cut on the leaf, it will smell bad."
He stared at her for several times, and when he saw that she thought he could still be saved, he spoke sincerely: "Senior Sister, you are really amazing, how do you even know this?"
If you leave vegetables and fish together for more than two days, either the vegetables will go bad, or both will go bad. How is that supposed to be amazing? Isn't this just common sense?
Tao Zi's head hurt even more. She suddenly realized one thing: even if she chose to be a junior sister, there was a great possibility that she would have to take on the responsibility of the senior sister in the end.
She took a deep breath and asked as gently as possible, "Didn't Master remind you not to do this?"
"Master never cooks."
"What about the villagers down the mountain?"
"Unless something happens, they rarely come up here because the mountain road is too bumpy."
Tao Zi pondered for a while and came to a conclusion: "So no one taught you these things, and you figured it out on your own?"
"yes."
"Since it stinks, why don't you change the practice?"
Han Yueshan scratched his head and said, "No one told us not to eat rotten fish. Besides, when I was a kid, I ate things that were left out longer and rottener, and nothing happened. The most important thing is that this method is simple and easy. As long as the fish is not dead, we can eat it with peace of mind."
Tao Zi listened to these words and slowly frowned. Not to mention how her master became a master, just the sentence "eat in peace" made her suspect that there was something else behind it.
"Big Sister, what's wrong with you?"
She hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to ask directly: "You are so careful, did something happen to you when you were a child?"
Han Yueshan's grip on the knife tightened for a moment, then he replied nonchalantly, "No, I was just hungry when I was a kid, so I don't want to waste anything. Senior Sister, do you have any other questions?"
"No, go on."
She smiled and turned away, but she didn't quite believe it in her heart and planned to go to Xi Jing to test the waters.
Xi Jing was applying medicine to Zhao Xue at the time. As soon as she entered, she casually asked, "Xi Jing, Xiao Xue, are you okay with that food accident when you were a kid?"
Xi Jing looked at her confusedly, as if she didn't know what she was going to say.
Could it be that she had guessed wrong and they had simply eaten something they shouldn't have? But that didn't make sense. Vegetables weren't something they shouldn't have eaten, so why should they be so cautious?
At this moment, Zhao Xue suddenly raised his head and looked at her. She smiled and asked again, "Xiao Xue, what's wrong?"
He looked at her hesitantly, then at Xi Jing: "Xi Jing, go check on Second Senior Brother. Maybe something went wrong when Second Senior Brother was cooking, which is why Senior Sister has this problem."
"Ah? Okay, okay, I'll be there right away." Xi Jing complained as she hurried over.
Tao Zi raised her eyebrows, thinking that her grandmother was quite right. Except for Han Yueshan who was more clever, the other two were a bit stupid.
Zhao Xue asked doubtfully, "Did Senior Brother say that?"
She replied calmly, "Yes."
He frowned and said, "Senior Sister, don't talk about this in front of Xi Jing next time. It's all in the past. There's no need to let her know what kind of person she is."
Tao Zi vaguely felt that she had guessed it. As far as she knew, there was only one person Xi Jing cared about but Zhao Xue and the others disliked. Considering what happened when they were children, she tentatively asked, "Are you planning to let Xu Jia keep it a secret from her forever? Xu Jia wanted to eat you back then."
Zhao Xue didn't deny it, and whispered, "It can't be helped. Xu Jia is like a mother to Xi Jing, so why should we make her sad? She had considered it back then, but then she found... found other food, and she also helped us with normal food. We didn't break up then, so it's not good to be cold to her now."
Tao Zi nodded slowly: "Don't worry, I won't tell Xi Jing."
That night, as she expected, Han Yueshan came to her.
After knocking on her door, the first thing he said was: "Big Sister, you are so dishonest that you actually tried to cheat Zhao Xue."
"Second Junior Brother, you are not sincere either. You actually lied to me."
