Chapter 148: The girl's secret recipe

"Wuwu~ Little Zhili has become a selfish and stingy bad child..."

The purple-haired woman bit the handkerchief she didn't know where she pulled out, crying sadly, and pointed her finger at the girl tremblingly.

"Mother-sama, please have some self-respect!"

Uchiha Zhili reached out and skillfully pinched Uchiha Yongmei's head, her white little hand having veins popping.

"Ai ai ai..."

The young woman wailed.

"Little Zhili, the way your family gets along is really... harmonious, isn't it?"

Uchiha Gin, who was watching, could only smile awkwardly, his eyes drifting, evaluating with an uncertain tone.

"Sorry, let Gin-sensei see a joke."

The girl raised her head, gave Uchiha Gin an apologetic smile, threw away the foaming woman, and clapped her hands, as if trying to shake off some dirty things.

"Get ready to eat hot pot! If it weren't for Gin-sensei, maybe I would never have the chance to eat such delicious food in my life."

Uchiha Zhili walked into the kitchen and soon brought out a copper pot identical to Uchiha Gin's. It was the first batch of hot pot containers he made, and only a few people with good relationships possessed them.

"Disturbed, I'll come and help too!"

As a player who came to eat and drink, how could Uchiha Gin be embarrassed to let the girl prepare it alone? So he rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen, standing beside the girl to help.

"Eh?..."

The girl glanced at Uchiha Gin standing beside her, secretly sized up his side face, her heart couldn't help but thump, and the hand holding the knife couldn't help but waver.

Uchiha Gin looked curiously at the girl beside him. For some reason, Uchiha Zhili, who was lowering her head to process the ingredients, was trembling slightly, and the hand holding the knife was also shaking.

"Little Zhili? Are you not feeling well? Let me do it, you go down and rest, just wait to eat."

Thinking that the girl was ill, Uchiha Gin felt a burst of emotion in his heart. In order to treat him to dinner, Uchiha Zhili actually went on stage with illness. She was really a good disciple of her master. When he had time, he would definitely teach her a ninjutsu that all women liked.

"No harm, Gin-sensei, mere temptation like this is not enough to knock me down!"

The girl's tone carried a trace of determination, but what she said made Uchiha Gin confused. What temptation?

As the saying goes, men and women work together, and work is doubled.

With Uchiha Gin's help, the preparation work for the hot pot was soon completed. When the steaming hot pot was brought to the table, Uchiha Yongmei, who had fainted and gone offline, was resurrected again.

She lay on the table, two round spheres squeezed out a deep and charming cleavage, watching Uchiha Gin and Uchiha Zhili working hard, her eyes filled with strange laughter.

"Knock, knock, knock!!!"

Just as the three were about to start, Uchiha Zhili's door was knocked loudly. Uchiha Zhili frowned slightly without a trace. This knocking sound was definitely her good friend, no doubt.

Tsk! Not early, not late.

Finally caught the opportunity to be alone with Gin-sensei.

Uchiha Yongmei: Am I not a person?

"I'll go open the door."

Uchiha Gin, who was sitting on the side near the door, stood up, volunteered, and then walked to the door to open it, but what met his eyes was a figure he couldn't be more familiar with.

"Ah? Why is this hentai ape here? Could it be... you finally took action against Zhili-jie in a frenzy?"

The person was Senju Banjian, whom Uchiha Gin had raised for six years but hadn't raised well. After a brief surprise, her eyes became very vigilant, and she quietly retreated a few steps, looking at Uchiha Gin, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, and asked with an unhappy tone,

"Duang~"

Uchiha Gin heard this, a # mark jumped on his forehead, and he didn't give the other party a chance to react at all. He gave Senju Banjian, this stinky brat, a flick on the forehead—the Uchiha physical combat mystery: Righteous Flick—making the brat howl.

"Ah! Caught by me, and now you're angry from embarrassment?"

Senju Banjian covered her head and continued to shout stubbornly. Anyway, if she didn't roast Uchiha Gin for a day, she would feel uncomfortable all over.

"It's Banjian! Come in, come in~"

Uchiha Yongmei heard the movement, got up to greet her, looked at Senju Banjian, who was covering her head with tears in her eyes, and pulled her into the house with a smile.

"Banjian, haven't eaten yet, right? Perfect, our family hasn't started eating yet."

Uchiha Zhili looked at Senju Banjian, who was a bit dumbfounded, gave a formulaic smile, and invited her softly,

"Eh... hot pot! I want to eat!"

Although she subconsciously felt that Uchiha Zhili's words had a hidden meaning, she was attracted by the food and immediately threw her doubts behind her, grabbed a chair, and sat next to Uchiha Gin's seat,

Looking at the steaming hot pot, smelling the spicy and tempting fragrance in the air, Senju Banjian couldn't help but whet her appetite, grabbed her chopsticks, and shook them excitedly on the table, humming happily,

"Hot pot~ hot pot~ Banjian's favorite spicy hot pot~"

"Sigh~ now that you're at someone else's house, show some manners!"

Uchiha Gin felt very ashamed, sighed while covering his forehead, placed his large hand on Senju Banjian's shaking little head, and educated her,

After all, she was a brat he had raised by hand. Now that she had become such a stupid-looking guy, he had an unshirkable responsibility.

"It's okay, it's been so many years, I've long regarded little Banjian as my second child."

Uchiha Yongmei waved her hand with a smile, indicating that she didn't mind. Her beautiful eyes, containing spring, seemed to want to suck people in, scaring Uchiha Gin into looking straight ahead, staring at the chili peppers floating in the hot pot, guessing the spiciness of the soup base.

"I'm starting!" *4

Since they were all acquaintances, there was no need to be constrained by those polite customs. Several people picked up their chopsticks one after another, and for a time, the dining table was heated.

"Brat! That's my lamb!"

Uchiha Gin looked at the lamb he had blanched, but when he turned his head, it was in Senju Banjian's stomach, making him furious.

"Oh~ can't a man have some perspective? Here, I'll give you mine."

Senju Banjian, who stole Uchiha Gin's lamb, not only didn't apologize, but instead had a "why are you so narrow-minded" expression, complained, and then put the fish slices from her bowl into Uchiha Gin's bowl.

"..."

Looking at the fish slices with the stinky brat's saliva on the chopsticks, Uchiha Gin's fists hardened. He must properly discipline this guy when he gets back.

"Gin-sensei, eat mine."

Just when Uchiha Gin was struggling while looking at the "dirty" fish slices in his bowl, Uchiha Zhili put the chicken meat from her own bowl over, with a faint smile on her face, but her eyes contained a hint of expectation,

"Ah? Then thank you, little Zhili."

Uchiha Gin was stunned for a moment. If he refused, it would be too heartless.

So he picked up the bowl, took the chicken meat Uchiha Zhili put over, and swallowed it without even looking. After all, he was really hungry,

"Eh? Why is it sticky?"

Chewing the chicken meat that should have been tender, Uchiha Gin was very confused in his heart. Why was the texture of the chicken skin so strange? But there was a sweet fragrance on it that he had never eaten before.

And Uchiha Zhili opposite, seeing Uchiha Gin swallow the chicken meat she put over in one bite, suddenly blushed from her cheeks to her ears, buried her small head deep in the bowl, her heart beating violently, afraid that the other party would discover any clues.

"Little Zhili, how did you marinate this chicken? The fragrance on the skin is quite delicious."

Swallowing the chicken meat, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise Uchiha Zhili.

"Hehe, this is our little Zhili's sec~ret~ rec~ipe~"

The purple-haired beauty, who saw her daughter's little actions clearly from the side, raised her eyebrows, looked at her daughter with a very anxious look, making the other party feel tight in her heart, burying her head lower, and then turned to explain to Uchiha Gin, who was waiting for the answer.

"Gin-san will have plenty of opportunities to taste it in the future~"

"That's true, we are all one family now."

Uchiha Gin didn't think much about it. Now that Uchiha Zhili had worshipped him as her master, as a personal disciple, it wasn't abrupt to be counted as one family.

!!!

The happy time of hot pot was always very short. Several people were a bit stuffed. After a short rest, Uchiha Gin stood up first and started to clean up.

"I'll help!"

Senju Banjian, who had a good meal, also felt a bit embarrassed, so she stood up and started to clean up.

"No trouble, let me do it! How can I let the guests clean up?"

Uchiha Zhili, seeing that the two were going to be alone again, hurriedly stopped them.

"What are you talking about? We are all one family, don't be so polite."

"Gin-sensei, I'm here too."

In the kitchen, Senju Banjian took the opportunity to whisper to Uchiha Zhili for a while. After it ended, her face was as colorful as a palette.

After cleaning up, Uchiha Gin saw that it was getting late, waved goodbye to Uchiha Zhili's family, and took the Senju brat on the way home.

When leaving, Uchiha Gin suddenly remembered tomorrow's arrangement, so he turned and said to Uchiha Zhili, who came to see them off,

"Little Zhili, tomorrow I and my cousins are going to Nanga River for special training. You should come and observe and learn then!"

"Okay, Gin-sensei."

Didn't expect to receive Uchiha Gin's guidance so soon, the girl felt a little expectation in her heart, hoping that her performance wouldn't disappoint Gin-sensei.

Chatting with the Senju brat, they soon returned to the big house. Uchiha Gin instantly transformed into a ground-hugging demon, peeking into the house cautiously. After scanning a few times, he didn't find Uchiha Hikari's shadow, which made him heave a sigh of relief.

"Brat, do you know where Hikari went?"

He turned his head and asked Senju Banjian, who was hanging behind him. There were only the two of them when he left. This stinky brat should know Hikari's whereabouts.

"Hmph! You ask about that old woman? She fainted."

Hearing Uchiha Gin ask about that annoying old woman, Senju Banjian snorted coldly and said the clue about Uchiha Hikari...

"Huh?"

Uchiha Gin felt tight in his heart. Could it be that Hikari fought with his dark personality again?

"That old woman who didn't know her own strength insisted on cooking by herself, and as a result, she ate what she made full of confidence and fainted on the spot with foam at her mouth."

Senju Banjian explained with disdain. Such stupid operations could only be done by that idiot-like old woman.

"Eh..."

Why does it feel like I've seen this segment somewhere?

"I checked, that old woman was just simply poisoned by herself, she'll be fine after a sleep."

Looking at Uchiha Gin's strange face, Senju Banjian subconsciously thought the other party was worried about Uchiha Hikari, so she said,

"Don't panic, I've already carried her back to her room, that guy is as heavy as a dead pig..."

After listening to Senju Banjian's account, Uchiha Gin finally felt relieved. He looked up at the closed bedroom door upstairs and didn't choose to go up to treat Uchiha Hikari.

If he saved the other party and Hikari started to settle the account for the morning on the spot, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?

At this time, he remembered that today's skill hadn't been practiced yet, so he told Senju Banjian that he was going out for a walk, and then paced to the backyard, waiting for the skill to refresh.

After a while, Uchiha Gin, lying on the bench, felt the air suddenly stagnate and sensed that someone was coming, so he sat up straight and watched the water-ripple light curtain in the backyard slowly fall.

Only to see a clean white lotus arm stretch out from the light curtain, followed by a clean white leg, then the body, head, until this figure walked out of the light curtain completely, sitting blankly in Uchiha Gin's eyes, leaving only thick horror,

No, can a radish man also be brushed out?
