Chapter 42 I'm not happy

"Ashi, what are you up to?" Cheng Nuo poked his head into the kitchen and asked.

"What's up, Anuo?" Xuan Shi dusted the flour off his hands and said, "I'm making you a few Northern Song Dynasty pastries."

"Wu Dalang's pastries?" Cheng Nuo asked with a smile.

"Nope, they're chrysanthemum pastries," Xuan Shi answered seriously.

"That sounds a bit odd."

"Does it? Wu Dalang's pastries are the real oddity," Xuan Shi said, pretending to be upset. "Anuo, tell me, if I were Wu Dalang, then who would you be?"

"Oh, my heavens!" Cheng Nuo also pretended to be astonished. "If Wu Dalang had our Ashi's figure and looks, what would Ximen Qing and Wu Song have to do with anything?"

Xuan Shi was a bit confused, "What does that have to do with Wu Song?"

"Wu Song killed Pan Jinlian," Cheng Nuo exclaimed. "If you ask me, Pan Jinlian was the truly pitiable one."

"You sure paid close attention to 'Water Margin,'" Xuan Shi said, washing his hands clean before trying to put them on Cheng Nuo.
