Chapter 164
After a while, Lin Jinyan returned to the workshop with a wooden box filled with food.
"Eat quickly and leave immediately after eating."
Her voice was a little cold, with a hint of driving guests away.
Lu Ren seemed to be unaware of this, and took the wooden box with a smile. When he opened it, there was only a large bowl of meat soup.
The soup was a rich milky white, dotted with a few irregular chopped green onions, and it was still steaming.
Lu Ren picked it up and smelled it, and his happy expression suddenly froze.
"Why is the fishy smell so strong? You can change your chef, his professional level is too poor!"
As he complained, Lin Jinyan's face became colder and colder, and a hint of murderous intent gradually rose in her sharp eyes.
After Lu Ren found out the faults, she said expressionlessly: "I cooked this broth. If you have any other opinions, just let me know. I will definitely correct it according to Mr. Lu's requirements."
Lu Ren was stunned and almost knocked the broth to the ground.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and caught it in time.
Otherwise... the consequences would be disastrous!
He looked at Lin Jinyan's murderous eyes, laughed dryly and said, "You should have said you made it yourself."
Lu Ren sniffed it again, showing an intoxicated expression, and praised: "The color, smell, and appearance of this soup are simply amazing! I'm afraid that just taking a sip can prolong your life, and you will never forget such a wonderful taste for the rest of your life..."
After praising for a long time, his saliva was almost dry, and he didn't even make a move to drink the soup.
Lin Jinyan put one hand on the scabbard, and a meaningful smile gradually appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Under her gaze, Lu Ren was already at a loss for words, and couldn't make up more words of compliment against his will.
No choice, he had to pick up the broth with a fake smile and put a small sip into his mouth.
Seeing this, Lin Jinyan's face finally looked better and asked, "How does it taste?"
"Hmm..." Lu Ren dragged out a long tone, his eyes closed tightly, and his expression was somewhat intriguing.
"It's hard..."
"Zheng!!!"
The whistle of the long sword coming out of the sheath reached Lu Ren's ears, and his heart trembled.
He shook his head pretentiously: "This taste...it's hard not to miss it for the rest of my life!"
Hearing this, Lin Jinyan put away the sword and showed a hearty smile.
"If it tastes good, drink more, there's still a lot in the pot."
"Ah???"
Lu Ren's eyes widened, as if he had heard the most vicious curse in the world.
He quickly changed the subject and asked Lin Jinyan: "Is this soup also made from the flesh of a fox demon?"
Lin Jinyan nodded: "They are all ready-made ingredients, which is more convenient."
Seemingly afraid that Lu Ren would say she was mean, she added: "I chose the best quality piece of meat under the belly, which is still quite fresh and not rotten or spoiled."
"Haha, you are really considerate..." Lu Ren said with a fake smile.
The flesh of the demon has extremely high medicinal value, but not all kinds of meat are delicious when made into food.
The meat of the fox clan tastes closer to rabbit meat, but the smell is stronger, especially the meat of a thousand-year-old fox, which tastes woody and smelly.
The smell almost rushed straight to his head.
Lu Ren was afraid that Lin Jinyan would put the sword on his neck, so he had to swallow the piece of meat in his mouth with all his strength.
"Didn't you say you were hungry? Keep eating!"
"Uh... Actually, I lied to you before. I'm not that hungry. Just bear with it and it will pass."
Lin Jinyan snorted coldly: "You're not hungry, then drink more soup."
Her tone left no room for negotiation at all.
Lu Ren took a deep breath and stared at the broth in his hand with a solemn expression, with a kind of determination of a hero cutting off his arm.
His face turned red, and he seemed to be in a fierce psychological struggle.
It seemed that drinking this bowl of broth was more difficult than asking him to fight a big demon in the Fantasy Demon Realm.
Suddenly, he thought of something and put the broth down.
"Drink this later. Let me show you my wedding gift for you first."
As he said that, Lu Ren took out a hairpin from behind like a magic trick.
This was made by combining the remaining small piece of purple gold stone he had just made with some materials from the workshop.
The shape of the hairpin is quite special.
To be precise, it doesn't look like a
The ornament used by women for dressing up is more like a sharp sword with hidden edge.
Lin Jinyan put the hairpin in her palm and looked at it carefully.
Soon, she gave an extremely sharp evaluation.
"The workmanship is a bit rough, and the flower on the hairpin is also carved very ugly, with no aesthetic feeling at all."
"........." Lu Ren said: "Forget it."
He reached out to take the hairpin back.
But Lin Jinyan was faster and hid it behind her back, not giving him the chance to touch it.
"Didn't you say this is a gift for me? Do you still want to take it back?"
"Don't you like it?"
"I..." Lin Jinyan blushed slightly, and forced to argue: "I will get used to it after looking at it for a while."
As she said that, her eyes fell on the bowl of meat soup, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her eyes.
"I accept your hairpin, this bowl of soup..."
"I'll drink it!" Lu Ren said these two words reluctantly with a painful look on his face.
At this time, Lin Yongning appeared from nowhere.
"Sister, Brother Lu, what are you two doing so early in the morning?"
Lin Jinyan hid the hairpin under her sleeve in panic: "We didn't do..."
Before she finished speaking, Lu Ren couldn't wait to interrupt her.
"Yongning, you're just in time!"
He greeted her with surprise, put his hand on her shoulder, and said with a smile:
"You haven't had breakfast yet?"
"Yes." Lin Yongning looked puzzled.
"Are you sure you have?" Lu Ren pinched him secretly.
Lin Yongning grimaced in pain and said in a daze: "Should I eat...?"
After looking at Lu Ren, he quickly changed his words and said: "I remember, I haven't eaten yet, and I'm hungry."
"Haha, it's just right, there's a bowl of fresh broth here, it's still hot, drink it quickly."
Lin Yongning took the broth and took a big sip without thinking.
The next moment, in Lu Ren's expectant eyes, Lin Yongning sprayed it out as expected.
"What kind of broth is this, why is it more smelly than urine?"
Lu Ren suppressed his smile, patted Lin Yongning gently, and said to him: "Take care of yourself."
"Brother Lu, what do you mean by this?"
Lu Ren looked at Lin Jinyan, who was angry not far away, and said righteously: "This is the broth made by your sister herself, and you ruined it all, and you even dared to speak rudely, I think you are simply asking for a lesson!"
