Chapter 585 Cumin

"Enter."

As Lin Xiaofan finished speaking, a servant came in from outside, holding a silver bowl in her hand:

"Sir, this is the hangover soup my young lady prepared."

"Got it, put it on the table."

Lin Xiaofan sat up and spoke.

"Yes."

The servant said nothing more and left the house.

Looking at the hangover soup on the table, Lin Xiaofan felt warm in his heart. After drinking the soup, he fell asleep.

When he woke up, the sun was shining brightly. He hadn't slept in for more than a year.

After eating some breakfast, Lin Xiaofan started practicing his powerful sword skills in the yard.

After not using it for a month, his sword skills did not feel rusty at all, but became even more powerful. Every move showed his sharp edge.

After one set, Lin Xiaofan felt that it was not fun without a sparring partner, so he thought of the maid in pink.

This girl was practicing swordplay in the courtyard. Seeing Lin Xiaofan coming over on his own initiative, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised and said:

"I was just about to go find you after the young lady finished dressing up, but you came here on your own initiative. What's the matter?"

"My hands are itching to spar with you."

Lin Xiaofan rubbed his hands together, very excited.

Although the maid in pink is a little small, her fighting power is unquestionable.

Two years ago, she was able to kill more than a dozen well-trained secret guards of the Chen family by herself. Now, two years have passed, and her swordsmanship has become more and more domineering, coupled with the divine power that came from nowhere, each of her moves is filled with terrifying power.

Moreover, the opponent also uses a knife and is also very strong, so he will definitely be able to withstand his powerful knife skills. This kind of fight is the most exciting.

"You... want to spar with me?"

The pink-dressed maid's face was full of disbelief.

Lin Xiaofan knew her martial arts, and she also knew Lin Xiaofan's abilities. It could be said that no matter whether Lin Xiaofan used hidden weapons or not, he was not her equal.

"What, no?"

"Come on, come on, let me see what you are capable of."

The pink-dressed maid placed the broadsword on her shoulder with one hand, hooked her finger, and had a playful look on her face.

Seeing that she looked down on him so much, Lin Xiaofan curled up the corner of his mouth into a dangerous smile. He took a deep breath, shouted loudly, and chopped the pink-clothed maid in the face with his big knife.

The pink-dressed maid picked up a big knife to resist. As the blades collided, Lin Xiaofan turned around and slashed out with the second knife.

Three knives, four knives, five knives... Lin Xiaofan's knife speed was getting faster and faster. The contempt on the pink-clothed maid's face gradually faded, and turned into solemnity.

The metal kept colliding in the air, making a harsh sound.

The power of their attacks gradually increased, and it looked scary from a distance.

It didn't take long before Lin Xiaofan had already performed the eighty-first move.

The last knife!

This time, Lin Xiaofan used up all his internal strength, and the blade whistled in the air, as if to tear the space apart.

"drink!"

Realizing that this was Lin Xiaofan's strongest attack, the maid in pink did not dare to be careless at all. She held the knife with both hands, used all her internal strength, and lowered her center of gravity slightly.

"bump!"

With a muffled sound, the maid in pink took two steps back, breathing heavily, her face covered in sweat.

In comparison, Lin Xiaofan was in a much more awkward state. He had to support himself with both hands on the hilt of the knife to barely stand. The eighty-one moves just now had almost exhausted all his strength.

After a moment of silence, the pink-dressed maid took a breath and said:

"Where did you learn this sword technique? It's so powerful. Also, how come your internal strength is increasing so fast?"

The internal strength that Lin Xiaofan had cultivated in the past year was more than what she had cultivated in the past five years. Even if one was very talented, it wouldn't increase so fast, right?

She could clearly feel that Lin Xiaofan was not as strong as her. However, with this set of powerful swordsmanship, he fought harder and harder, and finally she couldn't handle it. It was because Lin Xiaofan didn't practice well and his strength was a little lacking. If another martial arts master came, she would definitely not be able to withstand it.

“Haha, this is talent.”

Lin Xiaofan smiled and said shamelessly.

"You two, are you going to tear down my yard?"

Zhao Shan didn't know when she walked out. The main reason was that the noise of the two people fighting was so loud that it was hard for her not to hear it.

"I gestured to him. Brother Lin, aren't you going to make barbecue for us?"

The pink-dressed maid scratched her head a little embarrassedly.

"Yes, I'll get ready right away. Miss Zhao Shan, I'm sorry, I was so excited just now that I couldn't stop."

Lin Xiaofan said with an apologetic look on his face.

"It's okay, Brother Lin. I didn't expect you to be a genius in martial arts."

Zhao Shan said in surprise. In his impression, Lin Xiaofan's martial arts were not as good as hers, even when using hidden weapons. It had only been more than a year, but he had grown to this point.

With those few cuts just now, she might not be able to block them at all.

"No, it's mainly because I got an opportunity in the Tang Dynasty."

Lin Xiaofan opened his mouth to explain.

The skewers of meat were rotating on the grill, with refined salt, bright oil beads and cumin brought from the Tang Dynasty sprinkled on them. In a moment, the aroma of the barbecue spread slowly outside the courtyard like light smoke, attracting passers-by to stop.

"Lin Xiaofan, your cooking skills are getting better and better."

The maid in pink stood aside, her eyes sparkling as she stared at the skewers of meat tumbling over the charcoal fire. She swallowed unconsciously and her saliva flowed all over the floor.

"Brother Lin, just based on this fragrant aroma, it is enough to make the imperial chefs in the palace feel ashamed!"

Zhao Shan licked her lips and did not hesitate to praise.

Lin Xiaofan's craftsmanship has really reached an astonishing level.

"Haha, it's a lot of fun."

Lin Xiaofan smiled and waved his hand, took the cumin beside him and shook it, then said:

“It mainly depends on this.”

Zhao Shan took the cumin with some curiosity. It didn't seem to have anything special. She sniffed it and found that there was no fragrance. She asked in confusion:

"what is this?"

Lin Xiaofan smiled slightly and said softly:

"This is called cumin. It's a precious seasoning I brought back from Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. Adding a little bit to food makes it taste especially fragrant."

At this point, a trace of regret flashed across his face, "It's a pity that cumin is also extremely rare in the Tang Dynasty. I spent a lot of effort to get just this little bit."

"The skewers are ready, come and try them."

Seeing that the skewers had been roasted until golden brown, Lin Xiaofan gave half of them to Zhao Shan, gave the other half to the maid in pink, and took one skewer for himself.

"Be careful with your mouth."

Zhao Shan blew on the skewers and tried to remind them, but the little maidservant beside her didn't care about that and opened her mouth to take a bite.

As the hot meat entered her mouth, the rich aroma of meat and the unique taste of cumin intertwined in her mouth, giving her taste buds great satisfaction.

Lin Xiaofan blew on it until the temperature was right, then he took a light bite and his eyes lit up.

This is the first time I have eaten such authentic barbecue since I traveled through time.
