After thinking for a while, ye Xiaoxian decided to let Xiao Baoshan accompany her.
With xiaobaoshan, at least you don't have to worry about personal safety.
To go to the provincial capital, you have to take a boat at the wharf. On the day of departure, Xiao Baoshan led Ye Xiaoxian to the wharf.
Now many people on the dock already know Xiao Baoshan. When they see Xiao Baoshan leading a little daughter-in-law, someone whistles at him: "Baoshan, I finally see you with the boat."
This is a bad habit of some people who follow the boat.
Some people who follow the boat can't stand loneliness and worry about being found by the female tiger at home. When they follow the boat, they bring one or two out, such as widows and old prostitutes. These prostitutes are cheap and no one cares about them for a few days.
When ye Xiaoxian heard these people on the boat making fun of Xiao Baoshan, she couldn't understand the meaning, but she pretended not to know: "Baoshan, what are they talking about? How can I not understand? What's the meaning of taking girls with the boat?"
Xiao Baoshan said, "they usually like to bring."
"What about you? Didn't you bring it?"
"You're the first. Oh, no, you're not that type." Xiaobao mountain road.
"What type am I?" Ye Xiaoxian continued to ask.
"You are my mother, not of any type."
Ye Xiaoxian smiled.
Xiao Baoshan ignored the ridicule of those people and only managed to protect Ye Xiaoxian on a passenger ship bound for the provincial capital.
Ye Xiaoxian found that it was wise to take xiaobaoshan out of the provincial capital.
Because Baoshan was familiar with the people on board, they got a good position in the cabin, so they didn't have to keep blowing cold on the deck.
Ye Xiaoxian seldom takes a boat. She doesn't get carsick by car, but she feels dizzy by boat. It's probably because there are many people in the cabin. There's no cold wind here, but it's closed. Some people take all kinds of dry goods on board, such as salted fish and bacon.
Xiao Baoshan saw that she was a little dizzy, so he patted himself on the shoulder, indicating that she could rest on his shoulder. Ye Xiaoxian was not polite. If her husband didn't use it, he would lose money.
After leaning on his shoulder, ye Xiaoxian closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.
Until the ship suddenly shook, ye Xiaoxian was startled, sat upright, and then asked Xiao Baoshan, "what's the matter? What's the matter with the ship?"
Xiao Baoshan looked at Ye Xiaoxian's chin. He suddenly smiled and raised his wrist to wipe the saliva on the edge for her.
"The boat is all right. It's landing now."
Ye Xiaoxian: "
The guests in the cabin went outside in turn, and ye Xiaoxian and Xiao Baoshan followed out.
She just feels very embarrassed now. She goes to bed when she goes to bed. Why does her saliva flow?
After getting off the boat, Xiao Baoshan asked Ye Xiaoxian, "are you still dizzy?"
Ye Xiaoxian shook her head: "I'm not dizzy now. I probably didn't have a good rest last night. I just slept."
"You just slept well." Xiaobao mountain road.
Ye Xiaoxian felt a burst of fire and hot on her face again.
……
There are many more people in the provincial capital than in the county. Ye Xiaoxian walks on the road and has to let the people across from time to time pass first. There are many carriages and ox carts in the provincial capital. If you don't pay attention to avoidance, you can easily be hit.
Seeing that ye Xiaoxian was walking hard, Xiao Baoshan quickly stood beside her and protected her with his tall and straight body.
Strange to say, it was Ye Xiaoxian who avoided others before. Now, after Xiao Baoshan walked beside Ye Xiaoxian, others have avoided them.
"There are a lot of people in the provincial capital." Ye Xiaoxian said.
Xiao Baoshan said, "yes."
"There are so many people in the provincial capital. Aren't there more people in the capital?" Asked Ye Xiaoxian.
In fact, this era is the same as modern times. It is the capital, provincial capital, county and then the countryside, but the provincial capital is also called county.
Xiao Baoshan said, "the capital... Probably."
When he said this, he didn't look at Ye Xiaoxian.
But ye Xiaoxian felt that he seemed to have been to the capital. His eyes dodged a little, as if he wanted to avoid something.
Xiao Baoshan is responsible for asking for directions, so he inquired about the "five blessings" restaurant all the way.
The chef competition was held in Wufu restaurant.
Ye Xiaoxian went to hand over the application. The innkeeper took a look at Ye Xiaoxian and xiaobaoshan. He felt that neither of the two people in front of him looked like a cook.
The shopkeeper carefully checked the registration post and wiped the red seal on it, but it was indeed a famous post of their restaurant.
Since there are famous posts, there is no reason not to let them stay in the restaurant, because this cooking competition only recognizes posts but not people.
"Which county?" Asked the shopkeeper.
"Qinghe County, ye Xiaoxian." Ye Xiaoxian said.
"Are you two husband and wife?" The shopkeeper asked again.
"Yes."
"Since it's husband and wife, I'll arrange a room for you." The shopkeeper's faint tunnel.
"Can I have two?" Ye Xiaoxian asked, "he and I... Just got engaged, but we haven't officially married yet."
They all sleep separately at home. It's strange to sleep together outside.
The shopkeeper said, "this accommodation is provided to you free of charge by our restaurant. There is only one room for a famous post, not many."
"What about the money?" Asked Ye Xiaoxian.
"You can't add money, or you'll leave one here and the other outside. It's estimated that you can book a room, but I tell you, it's also hanging. After all, there are many people coming to the provincial capital at the end of the year, so there may be free rooms."
Ye Xiaoxian was still thinking, but Xiao Baoshan came up and said, "let's have a room, please."
Ye Xiaoxian: "
When she finished the registration and went upstairs, ye Xiaoxian felt nervous.
A room... She and he have never been so close at home.
Although they now have a new house in the county, they also sleep separately.
Now Xiao Baoshan wants to live in a room with her. I don't know what he thinks? If he wants to get married with her, she must agree. After all, they are real husband and wife.
It was not until she entered the door that ye Xiaoxian breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out that there are two Datong shops in this kind of large Inn in the provincial capital, which is seven shaped, equivalent to two beds.
Ye Xiaoxian first threw the burden on one of the beds, and then said, "then I'll take this bed."
After throwing it, I found that xiaobaoshan wanted to stop talking.
Ye Xiaoxian thought, is she blocking the next way? The meaning of her sentence just now shows that she doesn't want to sleep with him. She just wants to sleep alone.
Embarrassing
Fortunately, after they settled down, ye Xiaoxian came to a waiter. The waiter gave her a menu. There were three courses in the competition. One was the organizer's stipulation: Pearl, jade, white jade soup and a dish of streaky pork, which belonged to a semi proposition. As long as the ingredients were streaky pork, there was also a dessert. The dessert could be used freely, and the ingredients were unlimited, As long as the judges are satisfied and feel delicious.
The competition was the next morning, but the cooks who participated in the competition could prepare the ingredients now if necessary.
Ye Xiaoxian has no time to worry about xiaobaoshan. Now she only thinks about tomorrow's game.
For dessert, due to limited conditions, she decided to make a Qifeng cake. As long as the heat is controlled, it can also be baked in an iron pot.
In fact, the pearls and Jadeites in the Pearl and jadeite white jade soup refer to white and green vegetables, but vegetables alone are not enough. Meat dishes should also be a little. Many people will choose to use pork balls as the "pearls", but ye Xiaoxian plans to use fish balls.
Streaky pork, make a taro and pork.
These meats need to be prepared in advance, but they can't be prepared too early, otherwise they will rot.
Ye Xiaoxian decided to buy what she could buy first and buy meat the next morning. Anyway, there was plenty of time.
……
Ye Xiaoxian wants to go shopping. Naturally, she also wants to take xiaobaoshan with her.
Ye Xiaoxian actually has a general sense of direction, especially in such a big place as the provincial capital. The architectural styles of the provincial capital are very similar. They are all green bricks and black tiles. On the streets, many mobile small vendors have no plans and sell everything. In this way, ye Xiaoxian feels that each one is similar. Without xiaobaoshan, she would have lost her way.
Ye Xiaoxian sighed again: "the provincial capital is really big."
Xiao Baoshan said, "there are many snacks in the provincial capital. Would you like to eat some to fill your stomach?"
Ye Xiaoxian looked around and said, "well, I want to eat that rice noodle."
They went into the shop and asked for two bowls of rice noodles, one for ten Wen. The bowl of rice noodles was very large. Ye Xiaoxian estimated that she couldn't finish it alone, so she divided half of it to xiaobaoshan first.
When doing these actions, she is actually very natural, as if he is a very close person.
After eating rice noodles, they wandered around again, mainly to see where there were vegetable sellers and fish sellers, and then ask when others came. If they came too late, ye Xiaoxian would have the ingredients ready tonight.
These vegetable sellers let Ye Xiaoxian worry a hundred times, and said that they always get up early and work hard at night. They will come out to sell vegetables before dawn.
Ye Xiaoxian only bought some spices and a new kitchen knife.
Chefs pay special attention to the knives they use. They must use the ones they are familiar with. The Lido and weight must be suitable for their hand feeling, so that they can use them smoothly.
Back to the inn, I saw many people eating on the first floor.
As soon as ye Xiaoxian came in, these people asked, "this pair is also here to compete?"
The shopkeeper said, "yes, don't you see people carrying a kitchen knife?"
"Oh, I've bought all the ingredients. What are you buying?" Asked one of the little men.
Ye Xiaoxian said, "just some spices."
"Let's see?" Said the little man.
Ye Xiaoxian smiled politely: "sorry, private recipes are not suitable for outsiders."
"Oh, your family's recipes are still handed down by your ancestors. Which ancestors left them?" The little man asked again.
Ye Xiaoxian only smiled and went upstairs with Xiao Baoshan.
The little man muttered, "when I'm rare? Hide so tightly."
Then he asked others, "are your recipes ready?"
