After taking a seat, Yue Shuluo ordered a few dishes with a familiar car, and did not consult Wan Guohou during the period, which made the latter very curious, "You often come here?"

Yue Shuluo waited for the waiter to go away before she said unhurriedly, "It's okay." I saw that you can eat a little spicy food on a regular basis, so I had the audacity to order a few things. However, don't worry, Master Hou, I am paired with the dishes I ordered, there are more spicy specialties, and some are relatively mild. Wan Guohou heard that she didn't want to say more about the reason for the location, so he nodded.

It's close to 10 o'clock and most of the restaurants are closing, but this Dai restaurant is still brightly lit. Wan Guohou took a general look, the hall was about half occupied, and several small boxes were full of guests. From time to time, there were sounds of laughter and fist slashing in the room, and he listened intently for a while, and found that most of the people had Yunnan accents, and it seemed that most of them came for the "hometown food".

"It's a bit noisy. Yue Shuluo smiled a little apologetically, "Fortunately, the chef in this restaurant is good, you can bear with me." ”

"Do I look like someone who can't eat flies?" Wan Guohou said solemnly, "In Rocinha, Brazil, I once squatted on the side of the road with Z2 to eat a food commonly known as 'goatee', which is made from sheep's liver, kidney, and large intestine, and then distributed the uneaten food to the homeless people nearby. ”

Yue Shuluo was taken aback, her eyes as round as a cat, "You just squatted on the side of the road to eat, wearing such clothes?"

"Isn't it okay?" Wan Guohou laughed. He laughed as he unconsciously rubbed his thumb against the edge of his chin, "To be exact, I've been there with Z2 and I've been there to help others with their meals." ”

When it comes to Poker Men's mission, Yueshuluo doesn't ask anymore with interest. After the two continued to chat for a few words, they served the food. The waiter lifted the lid of the quaint stone jar, and a hot aroma immediately emerged from the jar.

"This is stone-cooked matsutake mushrooms. Yue Shuluo introduced with a smile, "The soup in it is fragrant and mellow, do you want to try it first, just appetizer?"

The Marquis of All Nations bowed his head, "I will listen to you." ”

Yue Shuluo filled a small bowl of soup and handed it to Wan Guohou, he pretended to eat Yunnan food for the first time, squinted his eyes, and took a sip, "It's very special, it's a little ...... The scent of herbs. ”

"Can you accept it?" After receiving an affirmative reply, Yue Shuluo showed a happy expression, "This time I made my own decision, although I see that you are very skilled in using chopsticks, but you usually eat Western food, and I am also worried that you are not used to eating Chinese food." ”

"With you by my side, I'm willing to try anything. Wan Guohou said gently.

Yue Shuluo smiled shyly and sweetly, she saw that Wan Guohou was indeed hungry, so she deliberately introduced Yunnan cuisine, so that the latter could eat at ease and not have to speak. Her primrose-colored eyes shone with a unique brilliance that only a woman in love can have, and her two rows of eyelashes were dense and long, fluttering slightly with the fluctuations of her eyes. For a moment, Wan Guohou, who was used to seeing beautiful women, was also a little stunned. Bright eyes and good looks, this is the first description he thought of - it turns out that there is really a smile like the sun, bright enough to illuminate people's hearts.

Wan Guohou's gaze passed through the face of the moon, through the Nuodeng ham, Xuanwu salted yellow tofu, lemongrass grilled fish, chicken stewed chicken, through the noisy and lively night, and stopped at a young couple.

The first time a seventeen-year-old boy invited his girlfriend to dinner, it was in a western restaurant. He saved a "large amount" by doing odd jobs for the amber shop.

The first time I ate formal Western food, the experience was not very pleasant. Clumsy, he didn't even know in what order to order, but he always remembered the throbbing, wanting to hold everything he could to his beloved woman in front of him.

What Tao Baihe's reaction was at that time, he actually forgot almost everything. And, in fact, he doesn't remember many details of his first love, he just watched the moon fall and suddenly thought of his 17-year-old self.

The person who loves hard is often not afraid of being hurt because there is love to rely on. But how long can this courage last? He remembered Stendhal's cruel words, "The word love, Latin for amor, begins with admiration and ends with death." But before that, there was endless melancholy, sorrow, weeping, deceit, sin, and frustration. ”

"You've ordered too much, take it home with you, K1 likes it. The dishes I haven't touched are all left to him. Wan Guohou looked at the smile of the moon, and suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart. "Today I was very unhappy. He said in a rare tone.

"I know. After Yue Shuluo was stunned for a second, her mood immediately became depressed. "It's me who doesn't do it well. ”

"You know, I don't think you're afraid I'll be jealous. ”

Yue Shuluo looked at him suspiciously, "Master Hou, are you kidding?"

"I'm not joking about this kind of thing. Wan Guohou Zhengse said, "You went to another man's house for dinner without saying hello to me, and drank wine, and stayed for a long time, I have a sense of crisis." ”

Yue Shuluo sat up straight, "If others say that, I will probably believe it." However, if it were you, it would ......"

"I want to divert the topic again. He watched the moon fall, and there was a kind of tenderness floating in his deep eyes, "Believe me, I never thought I would care so much about a woman all these years." ”

Yueshuluo lowered her eyes, as if she was thinking about how credible his words were. After a few seconds of silence, Yue Shuluo raised her eyes to look at him, "You always love to tease me, and you are never afraid that I will be angry." ”

"It doesn't hurt to make a joke once in a while. Wan Guohou said lightly, "But in this matter, I don't need to lie to you anything." ”

A new round of silence hung between the two.

Yueshuluo's heart became flustered. Although Wan Guohou often said some ambiguous words, the two have always been in a delicate state of "the enemy advances and I retreat, and the soldiers will block", and the straightforward emotional exchange like tonight can almost be said to be none.

She bit her lower lip and said after a while: "Master Hou, I see that you haven't moved your chopsticks for a long time, are you full? ”

"So I stopped my chopsticks because I wanted to try your special recommendation. Wan Guohou knew that she was changing the topic, and he was funny in his heart, but he didn't poke it, he just looked at her with a smile, "You must come here often, and you even know about people's special recommendations." ”

"I'll tell you when you're eating. ”

While speaking, the waiter brought a plate, and Wan Guohou glanced at it and was stunned. He didn't expect that this special recommendation was a big rescue.

The big rescue is a popular local snack in Hancheng, the method is simple, just need to fry ham, shredded meat, eggs, cabbage heart and other accessories with bait. So, strictly speaking, the big rescue can't be counted as a very dignified dish. In the past, when Lou Yan's health was not too bad, Han Mengchang sometimes opened a "small stove" for the mother and son before going to bed, and what he did was to save the car. The salty and spicy taste almost ran through his memories until he was eighteen years old.

Yue Shuluo saw that the Marquis of Wanguo was slow to get off the chopsticks, and felt a little embarrassed, so she asked tentatively: "Master Hou, this is called the Great Rescue, and the legend has it that he once saved the life of the hungry Emperor Yongli, and the taste is okay ......."

"I know the dish. Wan Guohou suddenly interrupted her, "I have a friend who likes to eat big rescues. ”

Yue Shuluo hesitated, "Don't you like it?"

"I don't know, I haven't eaten it. Wan Guohou's face was as usual, there was no superfluous expression, but his heart was about to twitch in pain. Although he hadn't eaten the Great Rescue for more than ten years, when his lips and teeth touched this long-lost delicacy, his taste buds bloomed with happy nostalgia.

No, there is no happiness, only nostalgia.

On this winter night full of laughter, at the table full of fireworks, he seemed to open his heart to his own world for the first time after "being released from prison", and finally dared to face what he had been avoiding - he was like an ordinary person, with a warm family and a dull life. And now, his origins, his bloodline, everything he was born with, deprived him of the freedom to live ordinarily. When he finally understood the gray line of the grass snake in it, all the people who loved him unreservedly were gone. But who can he resent him?

Yue Shuluo on the other side of the table was a little apprehensive, she could confirm that the few dishes in front of her did not arouse Wan Guohou's disgust, and even made him faintly happy. But this is not an exquisite snack, but it makes Wan Guohou look solemn. If she hadn't been in the restaurant, she would have almost thought that Wan Guohou was paying tribute to something.

"The taste is a little strange, but it's not unpleasant. When Wan Guohou spoke, his emotions had completely calmed down. He wiped his mouth, then glanced at his watch, "It's half past ten, and this shop doesn't close so late?"

"The shop is open until 3am. Yueshu replied subconsciously. Seeing the inquiring gaze on the other side, she sighed in her heart, "Master Hou, I'll miss you." ”

Wan Guohou knew that she was going to the bathroom, so he nodded. After the moon was gone, he casually picked up the bill and walked to the cash register.

In the hall, near the outer entrance, is the cash register, and the wall diagonally behind it is decorated with old wooden boards, on which are many small colorful notes, presumably written by guests. Between the notes, there are also some big stickers, which at a glance are all young couples and girlfriends. Wan Guohou walked to the cash register and smiled at the young girl who was a little nervous, "Table 47, check out." ”

The cashier immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Please wait. ”

Wan Guohou nodded and continued to look at the photos posted on the wall. Most of these photos have been a little curled or discolored, apparently some years old, and the shopkeeper did not tear up these old photos, indicating that he is a nostalgic person.

"Hello, do you use cash, or WeChat, Alipay?" the cashier stammered, and the other party's light green eyes made her flustered and afraid to look directly.

"Wait a minute. Wan Guohou's eyes widened suddenly, and then subconsciously approached the wall. He stared intently at one of the old photographs, and the doubts in his heart churned like boiling water.

After a few seconds, he carefully removed the old photograph: it was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl wearing a double ponytail and a solid-colored shirt. The girl has a straight face, as if she is dissatisfied with the person taking the photo, but the eyebrows that are not self-described, the primrose-colored eyes, and the inherently bright and incomprehensible momentum make it difficult to take your eyes off.

"Hello, the photos here are not to be taken away. A man speaking Mandarin with a strong accent appeared behind Wan Guohou, interrupting his thoughts.

"I don't take it away, I just look at it. I seem to know the people up there. Wan Guohou turned around and said. As he spoke, he quickly made a judgment: he was on the edge of fifty years old, and he listened with an accent like a Yunnan person.

"Are you the owner of this shop?" he concluded. "Your meals were excellent and delicious. ”

"Thank you!" the boss said politely, but still looked at Wan Guohou's hand. "Do you know Susu?"

"Su Su?" Wan Guohou handed the photo to the boss, "Do you know her? Who are you? How can you have a photo of her more than ten years ago?"

"Don't ask me yet, who are you?" the boss took the photo and asked vigilantly while looking at it.

"I'm the boss of Yueshuluo. Wan Guohou said lightly, "Actually, I will eat here, and it was she who recommended it." He laughed when he saw that the other man was still suspicious. "I have proof. He took out his mobile phone, which contained photos taken by K1 when he was bored, including the scene of him and Yue Shuluo "in the same frame".

After reading the photos, the boss's face softened a lot. He looked at Wan Guohou carefully, and saw that the latter was calm and well-dressed, not like some kind of indiscriminate person, so he reluctantly said, "I and Su Su ...... Forget it, you don't understand it. She used to come to the store to play when she was a child, and I can't remember when the photo was posted, but I guess I was in junior high school. He hesitated, "This shop used to be opened by Aunt Susu. ”

Wan Guohou was a little surprised, but immediately replied calmly, "I have heard of it, but she did not elaborate on it. She hasn't been here in a long time, has she?"

The boss sighed, "She changed jobs, saying that she lives far away and is busy, and she hasn't been here for almost a year." As he spoke, he looked into the hall, "Su Su came over today?"

Wan Guohou's heart welled up with all kinds of chaotic thoughts, he always felt that this woman was hiding something from him, but he didn't expect that what he was hiding was this. At this time, he saw Yue Shuluo walking towards his seat in the distance, and suddenly made a decision in his heart. "She didn't come today, I came alone, may I ask your surname?" he quietly sent a message to his mobile phone as he spoke.

"Exempt from expensive, surnamed Yue. ”
