pretty little cook

Chapter 171 A Moth ([-])

"Little girl, what did you say! You can come and sleep with grandma anytime you want!" Mi Xiaowan's words naturally reminded Tian of Mi Xiaowan's going to leave in a year. A trace of sadness.

Sensing Tian's change, Mi Xiaowan patted Tian's arm lightly, and the two embraced and fell asleep.

"Grandpa! Grandpa!" Mi Xiaowan gently crawled to Zhang Debing's side in the middle of the night, pushing Zhang Debing's arm.

Zhang Debing vaguely heard someone calling him, so he opened his eyes and looked. "Xiao Wan!"

"Shh~" Mi Xiaowan made a silent gesture, and pointed outside lightly. She came here today not only to relive her childhood, but also to tell Zhang Debing about it. It didn't feel right for someone to keep such a secret, and she needed to share it.

The two walked out of the room lightly.

"Is there something on my mind, my little Wan'er?" Zhang Debing didn't complain about being woken up in the middle of the night, but was very happy that Mi Xiaowan could come to him when he had something on his mind.

"Grandpa, do you still remember the two books you gave me?" Mi Xiaowan asked.

"Of course I remember, isn't it just a cookbook and a travelogue, what's wrong?" Zhang Debing was puzzled.

Mi Xiaowan said. "I accidentally wet those two books with wine, and I saw different text."

Mi Xiaowan told Zhang Debing everything she had read in the book, and finally asked her own questions. "I can't figure it out. Since our ancestor was a cook, why did she have such a book? Various weapons, and I saw some wooden kites, wooden horses, and wooden men later."

Mi Xiaowan's words made Zhang Debing digest for a while, and finally he heard Mi Xiaowan's question, and he came back to his senses. "I also heard this from my grandfather. The aunt in our family is not only good at cooking, but also looks first-class. At that time, she was specially granted by the emperor to enter the palace as an imperial cook, but unexpectedly, after entering the palace, a nobleman came to see her. Fell in love with her, but she likes another person, that person is also a craftsman, said to be a descendant of Lu Ban, the two of them started wandering around the world in order to avoid the entanglement of that noble man, and later, the noble man wanted to take revenge on his aunt in a fit of anger Then I started hunting down our family and the craftsman's family, and when my aunt came back, there was only one little nephew left in the family, and my aunt made a family rule out of grief and indignation, that our old Zhang family is no longer allowed to learn cooking skills!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Debing paused and continued. "The mechanical book you mentioned is probably left by that craftsman!"

After listening to Zhang Debing's words, Mi Xiaowan was not interested in the source of the book. She was interested in another thing. "Grandpa, what happened later? Did our aunt go to settle accounts with that bastard nobleman? To avenge the family?"

Zhang Debing shook his head. "I don't know, and my grandfather didn't tell me. At that time, I just listened to it as a story, and I can't remember many things clearly."

"Oh!" Mi Xiaowan was discouraged when there was no more to say. "Grandpa, let's go back to sleep!"

"Xiao Wan, don't tell anyone about your aunt, and you can copy the recipe, and burn the rest after reading it! It's enough for the two of us to know about it, your father Don't even tell your mother!" Zhang Debing grabbed Mi Xiaowan's arm and urged.
