"The moon is a little bit worse tonight. ”

"It's almost good. ”

The sound of two people talking intermittently came from the bamboo courtyard.

Because there were only the two of them, Red Dye casually moved the place to eat on the stone table in the courtyard, and there were not a few dishes, strictly speaking, the only dish that could be called a dish was a steamed anchovy that Zhou Li wanted to eat. The rest of the mooncakes are snacks such as jam yams, pumpkin pies, and brown sugar glutinous cakes.

There is also a pot of liquor that is said to be alcohol.

It tasted sweet and sour, there was no alcohol taste at all, Zhou Li himself didn't drink alcohol, but he also thought it was delicious, he felt that the alcohol content of this thing was even lower than that of mash rice balls.

After a few more drinks, I only felt warm.

Hongran sat opposite him upright, and there seemed to be something moving under the wide skirt, which attracted Zhou Li's attention: "Have you met your uncle?"

"Maybe I did. Zhou Li couldn't remember it at all, "When I was very young, maybe he came when I was born." ”

"Then tomorrow is your first visit, according to your etiquette, you want to bring some gifts, right?"

"I wasn't prepared. Zhou Li had a headache.

"Sister prepares it for you, it just so happens that I have a lot of things here, everything, a lot of useless things, and some things that I don't even know about. Red Dye propped up her chin and moved under her skirt again, "I said I wanted to clean it up a long time ago, but I kept procrastinating, I was busy, and I procrastinated...... What do you want to send?"

"I don't know. ”

"What does your uncle like?" "You all seem to like to give gifts, what kind of paintings and characters do you all like, it seems to be cultured, and I have a lot of them here, all of them were made by those people in ancient times, and I don't know many people." ”

"I don't know. Zhou Li hesitated, "But don't be too expensive, I'm just a student." ”

"That's a bit of a problem. "People like to think of things that were not worth much in the past as treasures. Maybe it's a feeling we don't have. ”

"What's moving?" Zhou Li tilted his head to look behind her, he had been paying attention to it for a long time, but he was too embarrassed to ask, but just now it was shaking more and more.

"Sister's tail. Red Dye still sat still, and after thinking about it, she added, "It's naughty, and now there's no one else, can you understand?"

"Oh. Zhou Li thought for a while, indeed, the red dyeing he saw since he was a child was wearing skirts.

"Is it white?" he asked again.

"How do you know?"

"The white ones look good. ”

"Your mouth is so sweet for you!" Red Dye couldn't help but laugh, "Come over here and let me pinch my face!"

"Hmm......"

"What about your mother? Have you seen a lot?"

"Not much. Zhou Li thought for a while, "She has been abroad all the time, rarely comes back, and comes to see me when she comes back, but not a few times." ”

"So how are you in a relationship?"

"Not really. Zhou Li felt that he didn't need to hide in front of Hongran.

"Why should they get divorced?"

"Feelings. ”

Zhou Li looked at Hongran, and Hongran also looked at him.

No one asked him about this, he didn't tell anyone, not even himself, not from childhood to adulthood.

He hesitated and said, "My dad was a very unreliable person when he was young, probably the kind of ...... that is good for nothing except being good-looking, as it is said on the Internet."

His mother was purely fascinated by Lao Zhou's face.

Love is sugar, and it can't be a meal.

When Zhou Li was still in Ji Qingqiu's belly, they decided to divorce, but because of Ji Qingqiu's physical reasons, the operation in the hospital still couldn't be done, and after some consideration, they decided to give birth to Zhou Li.

This is the origin of Zhou Li's name.

Ji Qingqiu insisted on taking it.

In the two years when Zhou Li had no memory, he followed his mother, and later because Ji Qingqiu himself was not doing well, Lao Zhou asked him back, I don't know the specific process, and it should be very complicated to think about it.

Lao Zhou probably thought that Zhou Li's hysteria was serious when he was a child, and he didn't get better when he grew up, which had a lot to do with the divorce of his parents since he was a child, and he felt very indebted to him, so on his adult birthday, he solemnly pulled Zhou Li to the roof of the community, and said to him very solemnly in a foam box of small onion and garlic seedlings, in the night-

"Let's talk. ”

Zhou Li felt that there was nothing to blame, life and the world were complicated, and he was actually living well.

After listening carefully, her tail also stopped, and after thinking about it, she asked again, "Then every time you see your mother, will it be awkward?"

"Yes. ”

"Humans are such a nuisance. ”

"What about youkai, do you have parents?"

"Some of them are, and some of them are nurtured by the world. Red Dye carefully twisted a yam with his fingers, dipped it in strawberry jam and handed it into his mouth, "But we are different from you, we respect nature, that is...... Anyway, we take it for granted that parents nurture their children carefully, just like all other living beings. And what children have to do is to take care of themselves like their parents at the beginning, and then take good care of the next generation without asking for anything in return, without kindness, should this word be used?"

"Nurturing grace. ”

"Yes, we don't have that. ”

"That's right. ”

Zhou Li thought about it, these are two cultures.

He and Hongzen can be said to have a very good conversation.

In the evening, Hongyan still left him for the night, Zhou Li got up early, but at that time Hongran had already gone out to be busy, Zhou Li sat for a while, and waited for the chef to make another steamed anchovy and pack it, and then flew back to Tianruikang Garden.

When he got home, Tuanzi was waiting for him at the door, sitting upright, with his tail and his little feet looped.

"You didn't come back last night. Dango said.

"Didn't I tell you I was going to Red Dye. Zhou Li raised the packing box at it, "The anchovy you want to eat, wild, has only been out of the pot for a few minutes." ”

"You didn't say you weren't coming back!" "Dango sulked a little, "Do you prefer red dyeing?"

"I'm not here to get you anchovy. ”

"Do you have to go to red dyeing?"

"She's rich. ”

"Damn! all that money should have belonged to the danzi-sama!" Tuanzi turned from sullen to bright, but she was relieved when she thought that Zhou Li was groveling in front of that nasty woman for her.

So she got up and walked up to Zhou Li, pressed her paw against the upper of his shoe, and looked up at him as a sign of comfort.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Li was puzzled.

"For the sake of Tuanzi-sama, you have been wronged. Danzi said seriously, "Dango-sama will remember you." ”

"Oh, okay, where's Huaixu?"

"Didn't come back either. ”

"Oh. ”

Zhou Li put the fish on the table, opened the box, and patted the table: "Jump up." ”

Dango obediently jumped onto the table.

Zhou Li smiled.

Seeing the dumplings bow their heads and eat intently, he asked, "Is it delicious?"

"Delicious!"

"Isn't it better than farmed?"

"Uh-huh~"

"That's ......"

Zhou Li suspected that this cat couldn't tell the difference between farmed and wild at all, she was very simple, she just wanted to eat expensive.

Maybe she thinks it's expensive to be worthy of her status?

While eating, Tuanzi suddenly remembered something, she raised her head to look at Zhou Li, and stretched out her pink tongue to lick around her mouth: "Zhou Li, have you had breakfast?"

"Not yet. ”

"Let's eat together, you're welcome, Dango-sama allows you to eat with Dango-sama!"

"......" Zhou Li looked at the fish that she had gnawed into a mess, "No need, by the way, I bought you a toothbrush, but you can't take it, you have to become a kitten lady to use it." ”

"What is a kitten lady?"

"It's the kind you changed on the high-speed rail. ”

"What is high-speed rail?"

"We came to Chunming's car. ”

"Oh, okay. ”

Dango bowed her head and continued, chirp, chirp.

Not long after, Brother Nan and Baozi also arrived, and Zhou Li went down to meet them and walked to the rice noodle shop across the bridge.

This is an old shop, and it can be seen from the table and bench, which makes Brother Nan very kind. In the morning, the shop was full of people, some in their thirties and forties, and the shop even set up tables and chairs on the side of the street.

Brother Nan came to the spirit, and the stupid hair was blown by the wind, pointing to the location of the rice noodle shop.

"Business is going well!"

Walking into the store, there is a narrow passageway, with tables and benches on the left and a long cabinet on the right. The cabinet is divided into many small compartments, and there are all kinds of meat, eggs, mushrooms, and vegetables, which are too many to count, and all the things to be cut have already been cut.

Brother Nan was also a little stunned as a gourmet, which was different from the cross-bridge rice noodles she had eaten.

Zhou Li didn't eat it at all.

The boss standing behind the cabinet skillfully took a large bowl, stuffed pea tips, lean meat and a few other things into it, and then stared at them silently.

Wide-eyed staring.

After a while, the boss explained: "The foundation is seven pieces, and the rest are added by yourself, these are all one piece, these are two pieces, and the rice noodle pipe is enough." ”

Only then did the three of them understand.

Brother Nan took the lead, glanced at the dishes in the cabinet, and added more than a dozen kinds of raw quail eggs, boiled quail eggs, fried eggs, bamboo sunflowers, shredded chicken, shredded lean meat, etc., in Zhou Li's opinion, she was just a mess. And every time she pointed at the boss, she grabbed a little bit in the lattice and put it into the bowl, and continued to quote, which was very casual.

"Twenty bucks!" said the boss.

"He gives money!" Brother Nan naturally pointed at Zhou Li.

"Okay!"

The boss handed the big bowl to the person next to him, and the man poured a big scoop of hot broth into the bowl, injected it into his soul, and then handed it to Brother Nan, pointing to it and saying, "Take the rice noodles by yourself, just blanch them for seven or eight seconds." ”

Brother Nan is gone.

Zhou Li learned from her appearance, and pointed out indiscriminately-

"This!"

"Eight!"

"This!"

"Nine pieces!"

"This!"

"Eleven!"

“......”

Zhou Li felt that the boss was partial, and he obviously caught more dishes for Brother Nan than him, so he endured it silently.

The rice noodles are packed, there are large bowls and small bowls, you can match them according to your own appetite, anyway, no one is watching next to you, such as Brother Nan has three bowls.

Zhou Li only took a large bowl, poured it into the bamboo drain and then put it into the pot, scalded it for a few seconds and poured it into the bowl.

Then go to the side and add vegetables.

There are kimchi, coriander, chopped green onions, and mint and chili crisps, which are very rich.

Brother Nan added it to the bowl vigorously, and said to Zhou Li very curiously: "Do people here add mint to noodles and flour?"

"Probably. ”

Zhou Li added a little bit of everything.

The three of them found a place to sit down and ate without saying a word - this bowl was quite big, but for some reason, after ordering, there was a feeling that it couldn't be filled.

But the taste is amazing.

Finally finished eating, and then drank the soup as a sign of respect, and the three of them couldn't stand it anymore.

Especially Brother Nan.

Li Nan involuntarily leaned back, leaving as much room for his stomach as possible, his mouth slightly open, looking ahead in a daze, as if he had entered a state of unity between heaven and man.

Zhou Li couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Are you okay?"

“h...... ao......”

Zhou Xuan sank, and this symptom appeared!

Fortunately, Brother Nan's eyes quickly regained focus and looked at him: "Where do you live?"

"Opposite. ”

"Just across the street?"

"Hmm. ”

"Shall I wait for you to sit down for a while? It's still early, I need a little time. ”

"Good. ”

"Sit a little longer before you go. Brother Nan said dumbly, speaking at an unprecedentedly slow pace, "This thing is too much, how much money have I eaten in total?"

"Twenty, I ate fifteen. Zhou Li said.

"I ate thirteen. Baozi also spoke, "It's really affordable, I've been to Qiaoxiangyuan and Jianxinyuan to eat, and the same thing over there has to be doubled several times, and it's not necessarily as delicious here." ”

"Are Qiaoxiangyuan and Jianxinyuan the names of the stores?"

"Yes, it's famous!" Brother Nan quietly touched his stomach, "I also said to eat it." ”

"Don't go. Baozi said.

"Doesn't it taste good?"

"The taste is still good, but too expensive. Baozi said very seriously, trying to organize the language, "Especially the head office." And they don't choose their own side dishes like this, they choose according to the set menu, and the brand premium is high. ”

"I want to pinch your face. Brother Nan said dumbfoundedly.

“......”

The bun puffed out his face.

Of course, I can't see it.
