Xu Manli can cook, which is an incredible thing in the eyes of many people, but in fact, Xu Manli is far from being as useless as they imagined. On the contrary, Xu Manli knows things far beyond their imagination: cooking, flower arrangement, tea ceremony, handicraft, gardening, finance, art appreciation and classification, and even some martial arts.

Xu Manli was originally strictly trained as a senior housekeeper since she was a child. And Xu Manli's mother has carried out special professional training for this daughter, and she was originally a reserve talent for the family's auxiliary children. Ding Yi wanted to embarrass Xu Manli in this way, which can be described as a big mistake.

The cooking methods and dishes of the southwestern provinces are very different from those of Jiyun City, but as a mountain city, the taste of Jiyun City is also very similar to that of the southwest, which is a bit salty and spicy, and the taste is a little heavy. However, the southwest pays more attention to the mellow flavor of the dishes, and likes to add some spices to cooking......

Within an hour, using the limited ingredients at hand, to make several dishes, whether it is the mind, or the overall planning and arrangement of time, it is not easy, Xu Manli can complete this seemingly impossible task, just to show that Xu Manli's cooking skills themselves are quite good.

However, Ding Yi was more curious that Xu Manli could use the stove in the Ding family's kitchen normally.

Just like the luminite used for lighting has been popularized in large quantities, the stove for cooking in the kitchen has long undergone a revolutionary change, and the backward way of collecting firewood and burning coal has long been eliminated, and now it is a fire source array built by spar. The most basic core of the fire source array is the fire element spar, and the steel wire frame is made into an arc with a deep depression inside according to certain specifications. The hearthstone is inlaid at a certain interval, and the hollow of the hearthstone is connected by a small wire, which is guided to the machine bracket, which controls the fire element stone and can provide a stable fire source.

In addition, the machine also has the function of igniting and adjusting the size of the flame.

Many people who have never been into the kitchen don't know this method of making a fire, and the stove of Ding Yi's house is actually a little different from the stove of other houses, which is a change made by Ding Li a few years ago.

The seven-star stove at home was damaged because of Ding Yi's naughtiness, it was repaired by Ding Li, and the original seven-star arch moon was changed to a six-pointed star array, because Ding Li had learned the primary formation, which was just a primary unit formation. This incident has been bragged about by Wu Shuhui countless times in the vegetable market. Xu Manli was able to find the correct way to use it without Ding Yi's prompts, which shows that Xu Manli is also a very talented person.

"I decided. Ning Jin said while burping: "I will eat at Brother Xiaoyi's house at noon in the future." His disguised sycophant made Xu Manli smile and be in a good mood.

"It's beautiful to think, the Ding family is not a benevolent person, and if you want to come to eat white food, there is no door. Xu Manli said with a smile, this is to substitute herself into the role of the daughter-in-law of the Ding family, and she does not treat herself as an outsider at all.

"Look at what Sister Xiaoli said, I'm not here to eat big, and the food expenses of one gold yuan a month are always okay. Ning Jin said.

"One gold dollar wants to come and eat my food every day, is my labor so cheap? One gold dollar is enough, and one gold dollar can only give you two baked cakes a day. Xu Manli joked.

Ning Jin is joining this group now, just to have a good relationship with Ding Yi and them, and he doesn't care. The family also strongly supported him and Ding Yi together, and said with a smile: "If you don't say anything about Sister Xiaoli, the little brother will do everything he can." ”

Seeing that another guy was about to defect and surrender, Ding Yi couldn't help it anymore, and ordered Liu Hang to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and called Xu Manli out of the yard.

"Sister Xiaoli, I'll be honest with you, it's useless for you to do this. After pondering for a while, he said: "Sister Xiaoli, the reason why you treat me like this is because you think that I am a cultivator, or that I have the qualifications to cultivate the truth, but in fact, I tell you, I don't, I am just a mortal, a mortal like Master Duoduo." We only have a little talent for puppetry, but I'm really not qualified to cultivate the truth, although I would like to be like that. I was able to attend the banquet of the Supreme Temple, and I was able to go to Zhuyun Xiaoxie to attend the farewell ceremony, and it was only because I inadvertently got acquainted with Brother Lan Xuan and Sister Yanran, so it was all a misunderstanding, and I didn't want to deceive my sister. ”

Xu Manli bit her red lips tightly and stared at Ding Yi's eyes, trying to figure out if this little ghost was lying, but unfortunately she was not a cultivator who practiced spiritual spells, and she couldn't tell whether Ding Yi was telling the truth or a lie.

She didn't know what to say for a while. If Ding Yi is telling the truth, then what else is there to say, just leave. But what if this little devil lies and lies to her? This little slippery head is very slippery.

Ding Yi walked into the courtyard, Ning Jin was bragging and farting with Yuan Zhen, and Liu Hang was still busy in the kitchen. Yuan Zhen saw that Ding Yi was the only one who came in, and couldn't help asking, "What did you say to Sister Xiaoli? Why are you the only one?"

"What she said, it's not the truth, you can't let her always misunderstand. Ding Yi's mood suddenly became very bad.

Glancing at Ning Jin coldly, Ning Jin's little heart jumped, and he had an ominous premonition.

"Ning Shao, in fact, there are some things I wanted to say to you for a long time. ”

Ning Jin secretly wondered, wasn't he talking about Sister Xiaoli, how could it be on himself?

"I think you and your family may have gotten one thing wrong. You think I'm a cultivator, you see that I have had a few contacts with cultivators, and you think that I may be a disciple of a cultivator or have something to do with a cultivator, in fact, I tell you, you all guessed wrong, it was all a misunderstanding, I am just an ordinary man, I learned a little puppet art with Master Duoduo during the summer vacation, and I met several geniuses in the cultivation world by mistake, and it was a wrong decision for you to bet on me. Ding Yi said coldly.

Ning Jin looked at Ding Yi in surprise, just like Xu Manli, he also wanted to see some clues from Ding Yi's face, but obviously he also failed.

"Xiao Yi, I heard that some cultivators can look at qi and listen to the art of the wind, you have come into contact with so many cultivators, do you want them to help verify it?" Yuan Zhen asked.

"What you said are all the methods of the previous cultivators to recognize people, and it has long been proven that it is only a one-sided observation technique, and the most comprehensive is the transcendent sacrifice of the carp formation, whether it is a dragon or a fish at a glance, there are almost no omissions, and all kinds of qualifications can be tested. Ding Yi sighed, to be honest, the feeling of the stars and the moon is actually very wonderful. However, Ding Yi deeply knows the truth that the higher he is lifted, the heavier he will fall.

He really didn't want to take his talent for such a big gamble.

"Brother Xiaoyi, in fact, what does it matter if you are a cultivator or not? at least your talent in puppetry, that's not fake, right? In fact, your situation has been discussed by the family for a long time, and originally everyone thought that you might be the qualification of a cultivator, but later after the matter of Zhuyun Xiaoxie came out, my grandfather thought that it was not very likely that you would become a cultivator, but my grandfather said that with your qualifications, you have such an achievement without passing the transcendent sacrifice, and it is also quite a great genius, and I want to make good friends with you, and our family is more willing to make friends with you, a little puppet master who is not a cultivator. Ning Jin said bluntly.

This is nakedly spread out, to put it bluntly. Although this makes people feel that the Ning family is too philistine and too interest-oriented, Ding Yi doesn't think there is anything wrong with this, and Ding Li's words still have some impact on Ding Yi.

Yuan Zhen went out of the courtyard and looked, Xu Manli had already left.

Everyone sat in the courtyard of Ding's house, a little dull for a while.

In fact, the transcendent sacrifice half a year later makes all school-age teenagers have such a heavy feeling. In these days, who doesn't want a carp to leap into the dragon gate? It turns into a dragon when it encounters a storm, and this is almost everyone's ideal. But after all, this is only a 1 in 100,000 chance, everyone wants to become the darling of God, but most people just think about it.

"What are you going to do in the future?" Ning Jin asked, and then he couldn't help but feel a little speechless for himself to ask this stupid question. Of course, Ding Yi continued to study while learning puppetry. What else could it be?

"Sister Xiaoli's matter ......," Yuan Zhen asked Ai Ai.

As for Sister Xu, I think she is a smart person, she should know what to do, okay, everyone should stop talking about such boring topics. Which of you would be interested in learning puppetry?" Ding Yi changed the subject.

I have heard of Ding Yi's deeds, in fact, everyone is a little unwilling to admit defeat, and they all have Ding Yi in their hearts, and I should be able to do this, so when Ding Yi proposed to teach everyone puppetry, the little friends were very excited, and even Ning Jin was very interested.

However, when Ding Yi took out five or six thick books from the bedroom for everyone to memorize, after studying, they all wilted like eggplants beaten by frost.
