Chapter 399: Dinner
In the end, Tatam still didn't follow, and I don't know if he was hiding in a corner and weeping silently. Sitting in the living room of Nana's house were only Nana's father, York and Lu Tao.
York: Why don't you call John?
As soon as he heard Nana's father's name, Lu Tao silently complained in his heart, it was really because of the name York, which could only make Lu Tao think of a hip-hop young man with inch-long blonde hair and studs on his ears, and he didn't know where this impression came from.
Nana and Nana's mother, Anna, were preparing dinner tonight in the kitchen, they were trapped in the cave at noon, and they didn't have time to eat, and now Lu Tao is very hungry, as long as the dinner is not a hodgepodge of bugs, he can basically accept it. Of course, now facing Nana's father York, Lu Tao still has other work to do.
He wrote the line of words he saw in the cave on a piece of paper with charcoal, and then handed it to Nana's father, York, to see, and waited until York confirmed this line of words, which he had studied countless times in the cave, before Lu Tao spoke: "This line of words is actually pronounced like this, 'At the beginning of man, nature is good. Sex is similar, Xi is far away'. ”
Although when Lu Tao was in school, he no longer used the Sanzijing as a must-read for enlightenment and literacy, but basically the Chinese people who inherited it from the ancient civilization were able to memorize a few sentences of the content of the Sanzijing more or less, especially this first sentence, basically there is nothing that no one knows. Now he recited this mantra to open the door, but as Lu Tao expected, there was no accident, there was no collapse in this room, if it really collapsed, then it was called a ghost.
"At the beginning of man, nature is good. Sex is close, Xi is far away?" Nana's father, York, showed a rather puzzled expression: "What does this mean?"
Lu Tao thought for a while: "It probably means that at the beginning of life, the nature itself is kind, and the nature is almost the same, but the acquired environment is different and the education is different, and each other's habits form a huge difference." ”
York nodded: "That's a good truth, but what does it mean to write this sentence in a cave? I always thought it was some kind of secret that had been hidden for a long time, or how to get out of here." My father...... That is, Nana's grandfather, who had spent a lot of time traveling around the world, trying to find a way to get out of here, but unfortunately until the end, his father didn't find how to get out of here, which was a pity. I thought that the line written in the cave that no one knew was the key to getting out of here, but alas, it was a pity......"
Looking at Nana's father, York, shaking his head and sighing
, Lu Tao could only shake his head secretly, in fact, he wanted to tell Nana's father that this sentence really had something to do with how to leave here, but this relationship had to go around a little bit, and in the end it was all in that golden egg, in a way, Nana's father Yoke and his grandfather were right to study this line of words, but if they really studied it, they also had to know how to let their consciousness enter other spaces.
Thinking of this, Lu Tao opened his mouth and asked, "Uncle, do you want to leave here and go back to the land of the Great Qin Empire? Of course, it should be called Da Yue in the original place." ”
York hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head: "No, that's my father's wish, not mine, I grew up here, I'm used to the land, the world above is a strange place for me, I have no interest in leaving everything here to go to a strange place, and besides, I have a wife and daughter here." ”
Lu Tao was relieved, he always felt that he didn't ask such a sentence, and he was always a little reluctant in his heart, but he really couldn't figure out why he had such an idea, but since Nana's father York didn't have the idea of returning to the original world, Lu Tao was also relieved.
At this time, Nana and her mother, who were busy in the kitchen, finally came out, Nana's mother greeted Lu Tao and said, "Okay, let's talk about it later, the meal is ready, you eat more." ”
Lu Tao was hungry for a long time, and when he heard that the food was finally ready, he didn't care about what Nana's father said just now, but followed, behind Nana, and walked into the restaurant on the side. Lu Tao couldn't help but be a little depressed, there was only one room where he lived, not to mention the courtyard, or the restaurant, as soon as he looked up while lying on the bed, he could see the door, and the door was not locked, if he didn't take something at night and hold it for a while, Lu Tao was very worried about whether there would be any strange animals running in.
The food was already set on the table, and Lu Tao looked over, but he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
In one corner of the table was a basket made of vine branches, in which were placed a lot of green steamed buns, and in front of everyone there was a bowl of soup with green leaves floating in the soup, and some things that looked like fungus and shiitake mushrooms, and finally in the middle of the table, there was a large basin, in which pieces of cut meat and some kind of dark brown tubers were stewed together, exuding a smell of meat.
After everyone was ready, Nana introduced to Lu Tao: "The middle is a wooden dragon stewed sweet potato, and the soup is an ordinary soup, but the food in the basket over there is called steamed buns, which my grandfather spent a long time researching to eat, but the production method is a little troublesome, only the village chief and."
Some of the elders liked his taste and often made steamed buns to eat. ”
Lu Tao looked at the things on the table, the steamed buns were not the steamed buns he knew, and the sweet potatoes were not the sweet potatoes he knew, you don't know what it tasted like, at this time, his father York went to grab the steamed buns in the basket, and Nana's mother stretched out the chopsticks and hit them.
"Smack!"
"What are you doing?" said York, looking at Nana's mother disapprovingly, rubbing his sore hand.
"There's a guest today, so you can't wait a while?" Nana's mother glared at York, grumbling to him.
"Okay, good!" Nana's father, York, raised his hands and glanced at Lu Tao: "Hurry up and eat, you're welcome, just treat this place as your own home, and take whatever you want." ”
Lu Tao hesitated, reached out and picked up the green steamed buns, took a bite gently, and found that the taste of the steamed buns was really good, soft and delicious, with a faint plant fragrance, then his grandfather seemed to have even found something to ferment the dough, but he didn't know where the raw materials for these steamed buns came from, I am afraid there would be no wheat or anything like that.
Seeing Lu Tao do it, the others also began to destroy the food in front of them, Lu Tao always thought that the people here didn't use chopsticks when eating, but found that Nana's family was not like this, two long and thin chopsticks were placed in front of everyone, and they could be used skillfully by them.
Lu Tao sandwiched a piece of plant tuber called sweet potato, and found that the taste was somewhat similar to that of potatoes, but it was a little sweet, and it was just right to mix with the aroma of meat, and sandwiched a piece of Mulong's meat, Lu Tao suddenly felt that today was his happiest day.
During this meal, Lu Tao barely stopped the chopsticks in his hand, eating hot soup and hot rice, he suddenly remembered the time when he was in the bachelor apartment, even if he really had no money, he would buy instant noodles, cabbage and sausage eggs from outside, and strive to make a simple instant noodles the most delicious. For human beings, food is indeed a thing that can make people feel happy, and only when a person can eat enough can he have enough leisure to take care of other things.
Looking at Nana and Nana's mother who were cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Lu Tao said a little embarrassed: "Auntie, let me wash the bowl." ”
"No, no, how can you let the guests wash the dishes, you just sit there, talk to Nana and his father, and leave the rest to me and Nana. Nana's mother blocked Lu Tao's hand and said to him with a smile.
"That's right, just sit there, and let them do these things. Nana's father, York, patted his stomach, as if he was still a little unsatisfied with dinner.
