Chapter 6: Let's Drink Together
Hong Lingbo was 100% certain that this was the best chicken leg she had ever eaten in her life.
Most importantly, she may never be able to eat such delicious chicken legs again in the future.
So, even though the chicken leg was right in her hand, she couldn't bring herself to eat it.
Qian Jin, who was eating heartily, turned around and saw that Hong Lingbo was still in a daze, and couldn't help but say:
"Why aren't you eating? This roast chicken tastes best when it's fresh out of the oven; it won't taste good if it sits for too long."
Upon hearing this, Hong Lingbo blushed slightly and said:
"This chicken leg is so delicious, I'm a little reluctant to eat it. I'm afraid that if I finish it all at once, I'll never taste this flavor again."
"ha?"
Qian Jin laughed when he heard this.
"Haha, I knew there was a reason! That's easy, I'll just share half of my roast chicken with you."
If you still feel you haven't had enough, I'll be here roasting chicken every day for the time being. Just come find me again tomorrow, and I'll roast another chicken then.
Hong Lingbo was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly got up to thank Qian Jin.
"In that case, thank you very much, Young Master Qian."
"Haha, no need for such formalities, let's eat chicken! It won't taste good if it gets cold."
Before long, Qian Jin and Hong Lingbo had devoured the entire roast chicken.
Not to mention Hong Lingbo, even Qian Jin was still somewhat unsatisfied.
However, coming out to roast chicken today has already taken up a lot of time, so I need to go back to practice my skills as soon as possible.
He was also worried that if he stayed out too long, the old rascal might come looking for him and find out that he was planning to meet Ying Gu, and he would turn around and run away.
In that case, it would be difficult to bring him back.
So he said:
"Miss Hong, I have other matters to attend to today, so I'll take my leave now. If you'd like to have some roast chicken, we'll meet again tomorrow."
……
The next day, Qian Jin bought another chicken and saw Hong Lingbo waiting there from afar, and even the firewood for roasting the chicken was already prepared.
Seeing this, Qian Jin stepped forward and laughed loudly:
"Haha, Miss Hong, you've arrived so early! I left in a hurry yesterday and forgot to make an appointment with you. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Upon hearing this, Hong Lingbo also laughed and said:
"Young Master Qian is too kind. It was my own choice to come early to make some preparations."
Otherwise, if Young Master Qian does everything by himself, I'll feel a little embarrassed to eat his chicken anymore.
"Haha, Miss Hong, you're too kind. I brought an extra chicken with me today. If you're interested, I can teach you how to roast it later."
"Really? Young Master Qian, you're actually willing to teach me how to roast chicken?"
Hong Lingbo was overjoyed upon hearing this.
Because Qian Jin's roast chicken is so delicious, if she could learn how to make it, wouldn't she be able to eat such delicious roast chicken anytime in the future?
Even later, she was able to bake for her master.
When the time comes, perhaps Master will be so pleased with the delicious roast chicken that he might even teach her a few more superior martial arts moves!
Upon seeing this, Qian Jin couldn't help but laugh:
"Haha, it's just an essential skill for us Jianghu people to navigate the world, not some secret that's not passed down to us."
If you follow my method, I guarantee you can roast a chicken just as delicious as mine.
In Qian Jin's memory, Hong Lingbo was not a bad person at heart, but because of her bumpy fate, she ended up with a tragic end.
So it would be great to become friends with them.
Soon, under Qian Jin's guidance, Hong Lingbo put a chicken on the fire to roast.
Just like yesterday, Qian Jin used both hands, one in each hand, to put the other two chickens on the fire to roast together.
Zizizi!
A rich aroma gradually wafted out and drifted towards the depths of Black Dragon Pool.
"Young Master Qian, when I came here today, I specially went to the market to buy a jar of fine wine, but I was in such a hurry that I forgot to bring two bowls with me."
Hong Lingbo spoke with a hint of self-reproach, clearly regretting her carelessness.
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin smiled and said:
"Haha, so what? Being able to eat meat and drink wine to one's heart's content is truly delightful! Why insist on using a bowl? Wouldn't it be even more enjoyable to drink directly from a jar?"
Seeing that Qian Jin didn't care at all, Hong Lingbo became happy as well.
As the two were chatting and laughing, they suddenly saw the spirit fox from yesterday peeking out of the Black Dragon Pool again, and then watching them from a distance.
Upon seeing this, Qian Jin burst into laughter and said:
"Haha, little fox, you've come here to mooch chicken again? But my roast chicken isn't fully cooked yet, so you'll have to wait a little longer."
Upon hearing Qian Jin's words, the nine-tailed fox seemed to understand, and immediately lay down on the ground, quietly watching Qian Jin grill the food.
Soon, the roast chicken was fully cooked, and Qian Jin, just like yesterday, took one off and threw it directly to the Nine-Tailed Fox.
The nine-tailed fox caught the roast chicken, glanced at Qian Jin from afar, and then quickly slipped into the depths of the Black Dragon Pool.
"Haha, the spirit fox is fed, now it's our turn to eat."
Qian Jin laughed and then handed the roast chicken in his hand to Hong Lingbo.
Hong Lingbo was taken aback upon seeing this, and said:
"What does Young Master Qian mean by this?"
"Haha, this one is for you, and yours is for me, so I can taste how well you cook."
"This...this is my first time trying it today, and it might not taste very good. How could I let you eat it, young hero! I'll eat it myself!"
Hong Lingbo instinctively refused, but before she could finish speaking, the roast chicken in her hand was already in Qian Jin's hands.
Moreover, the other party stuffed another roasted chicken into her hand.
What a fast technique!
Hong Lingbo was secretly shocked. Although she had been caught off guard, the exquisiteness of her opponent's move was no less than that of her master, Li Mochou.
She had always thought that the other party's martial arts skills were only slightly better than hers.
As it turns out now, she's not just better than her, she's practically on par with her master.
When did such a powerful young hero appear in this martial arts world? She had never heard of him before.
While Hong Lingbo was still in shock, Qian Jin had already torn off a chicken leg and started eating it in big bites.
"Haha, Miss Hong, although this is your first time trying this, your barbecue skills are much better than mine."
"Delicious, so delicious!"
Hearing Qian Jin's praise, Hong Lingbo snapped out of her reverie and said somewhat shyly:
"Young hero, you flatter me. My skill level is nowhere near yours!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin laughed again, immediately opened the wine jar, took a large gulp, and said:
"Haha, good wine!"
"To be able to eat meat and drink wine with Miss Hong today is truly one of life's greatest pleasures. Come, let's drink together!"
After saying that, he handed the wine jar to Hong Lingbo.
