Xu Yun suddenly thought of a rather dangerous question. If he were to directly ask Zuo Lengyue this question, he might really be in big trouble. "Your master's age is …"
Bai Xiaoye put down her chopsticks, took a deep breath, and sighed. "I don't even dare to imagine. If you were to directly ask her this question, would you be beaten to a pulp? How old do you think she is? That's how old she is. "
"She can't be only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. The empress has been famous for so many years. She can't possibly be a supreme expert the moment she is born, right?" Xu Yun said, "The empress dowager passed away at seventy-eight years old … Your master can't possibly be someone from the same generation as him, right?"
"Don't let her hear this. If she hears this, you will definitely die miserably." Bai Xiaoye continued to eat the mutton. "No one has ever dared to ask this question. Ever since I can remember, my master has always been so young and beautiful. After so many years, she still doesn't have a single strand of white hair, not a single wrinkle, and her skin has always been so tight and tender. Let me tell you, these are the benefits of maintaining one's health. I have never seen my master eat anything carelessly. Her food never contains oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, or other condiments. Only the most natural food is the best. "
"If I have to eat fruits and boiled vegetables for the rest of my life, I would rather eat until I become an old man in fifty years." Xu Yun said, "You should enjoy life to the fullest. Don't let your gold goblet face the moon with nothing. Let's count it with our fingers. A short life lasts for thirty thousand days. Every day counts. "
Bai Xiaoye raised her head and pondered for a moment before nodding thoughtfully. "You'd better not brainwash me. If I change my outlook on life because of a meal, I'll definitely be scolded when I go back. You can live your carefree life, and I will live my life of austerity. Although we share the same fate, there is still a difference between the two of us. Does the Dragon Brigade eat anything? "
"Of course. Ahem, let me tell you the details. " Xu Yun cleared his throat. The Dragon Brigade had a gala every year. Qian Feng and Hua Xiaolou had once performed a crosstalk where they announced the names of dishes. Xu Yun had listened to them rehearse many times, so he picked it up. "There's steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose, roasted pig, roasted duck, soy sauce chicken, cured meat, songhua, tripe, dried meat, sausages, assorted su pan 'er, smoked chicken white belly, steamed eight treasures pig …"
"Do you think I haven't heard crosstalk before? Who are you trying to fool!" Bai Xiaoye was amused by Xu Yun's words. If I don't look at him with prejudice, he's not bad at all.
Xu Yun laughed heartily. "Although it's a bit outrageous to say that I'm reporting a menu, it's still quite a sumptuous meal. The amount of training he did every day was too much, and it consumed too much energy. If I don't replenish myself properly, I won't be able to hold on. "
"I didn't replenish myself that much, but it's still the same," Bai Xiaoye said. "Xu Yun, let's not joke around now. Can I really call you brother?"
"Of course." Xu Yun put down his chopsticks. "Even if you don't treat me as a brother, I'll treat you as a sister."
Bai Xiaoye's face revealed a hint of undetectable shyness. She felt that this feeling was strange. Initially, she hated Xu Yun, but now, she found him more and more pleasing to the eye. The change was too fast. However, ever since she found Xu Yun pleasing to the eye, she had an indescribable sense of intimacy with Xu Yun. This feeling made her feel very warm. Even if she wanted to be cold to him, she couldn't.
"Brother, thank you for eating hotpot with me tonight," Bai Xiaoye said. "This is the best meal I've ever had in my life. It's also … the most relaxing meal I've ever had in my life! In the future … if I call you, will you still eat hotpot with me? "
Xu Yun nodded. "Of course. When you want to improve your taste, just tell me. Although I'm not a world-famous chef, I've done a little research in cooking. Yanjing hotpot is a specialty, and so is a medicinal hotpot. However, this hotpot doesn't exist in Yanjing. If you want to eat the most authentic, I'll bring you to my own place and personally prepare the ingredients for you. "
Xu Yun also had an inexplicable sense of intimacy with Bai Xiaoye. This feeling was hard to describe, but it was very special. Ever since Bai Xiaoye took off her sunglasses, Xu Yun had an inexplicable feeling.
"You opened a hotpot restaurant?" Bai Xiaoye's eyes almost popped out.
"Not really," Xu Yun said. "You'll find out in the future."
In Bai Xiaoye's eyes, Xu Yun suddenly became mysterious. "There's still something I don't understand. You're obviously a member of the Dragon Brigade. Why are you hanging out with Ma San-er in Panjiayuan Garden? Could it be that Ma San-er is also … "
"He's not a member of the Dragon Brigade. However, if the Mystical Dragon Brigade needs him to step forward, he has always been very straightforward. " Xu Yun said, "Although Ma San-er looks unreliable, he's quite reliable. He's a good brother."
"I'm not curious about him. I'm curious about you. Since you're a member of the Dragon Brigade, why are you allowed to hang around outside?" Bai Xiaoye asked. "Is there no discipline to restrict you?"
Xu Yun shrugged. "There used to be, but not anymore. I was removed, but I was recalled for special reasons. So, I'm a special product. "
"I think you're more like a special talent."
After eating hotpot, Bai Xiaoye exclaimed that it was delicious. Xu Yun also drank some wine and was sweating.
"I'll send you back," Bai Xiaoye said. "I hope we can meet again in the future."
"Definitely." Xu Yun smiled.
Bai Xiaoye sent Xu Yun back to Panjiayuan Garden. Lin Ge and Ma San-er had already eaten supper and returned to sleep. They never thought that Xu Yun would come back. Therefore, when Xu Yun knocked on the door and woke them up, they didn't think much of it.
"Brother, what era is this? A girl asked you out for supper at midnight, and you actually came back after supper?" Lin Ge said in surprise, "I'm such a traditional person, but I can't believe it. Could it be … you're …"
"Fast Shooter?" Ma San-er added.
"Fast your ass!" Xu Yun scolded jokingly. "It's just supper. Don't think so much. What kind of person do you think I am? Am I that shameless?"
Ma San-er nodded like a chick pecking at rice. When he saw Xu Yun raise his hand to hit him, he quickly shook his head. He still didn't understand. "She's already sent herself to your door, and you're not even going to eat it. Aren't you being too disrespectful to Bai Xiaoye? This will make the girl feel inferior. You're really wasting her feelings. "
"Don't joke about me and Bai Xiaoye. My feelings for her … Hmm … How should I put it? I really treat her as my little sister," Xu Yun explained.
"Forget it. Little sister … Little sister in love?" Ma San 'er didn't believe that there was a real friendship between men and women. In his eyes, there was no real relationship between men and women. Even if they got married, there was no love between them. It was just two similar people getting together to live together. If they weren't similar, then the woman was either a rich second generation hooking up with a rich man, or the man was a gigolo living off a woman.
A man and a woman going out for supper in the middle of the night, unless they were relatives, must be related! You're talking about friends? Bullshit! Since they were friends, why didn't they go out for supper at midnight? Friends made in a mental hospital, right?
"Brother, now that you mention it, I really feel that Bai Xiaoye's eyes are a bit similar to yours." Lin Ge touched his chin. "Ma San-er, think about it!"
"Hey!" Ma San-er slapped his thigh and looked at Xu Yun's eyes. "You don't say, it's really a bit interesting!"
Lin Ge wanted to gesture at the corners of Xu Yun's eyes as he explained to Ma San-er in detail, "What do you mean by a bit? Isn't it obvious?"
