50. Toon
Zhan Lu didn't know that Chun Niang in the proud building opposite was jealous of her. If she had learned this, she would have laughed. In Zhan Lu's opinion, what did she have to be jealous of? she was just an orphan without a father or mother. I make a living by opening this small shop, and I don't know where the money will be for tomorrow's meal today. If she hadn't met Ming Yijun, she would have left her hometown by this time and went elsewhere to earn a living. But Chun Niang has a very beautiful family, runs a very grand restaurant, and has the money to hire excellent cooks and bartenders, so she doesn't have to worry about anything.
However, Zhan Lu does not envy Chun Niang, for a long time, she and Chun Niang are nothing more than competitors, both of them want each other's stores to go out of business, but that's it. Although she knew that the death of her parents was not directly related to Chunniang's proud building, Zhan Lu still didn't want to have too much contact with her.
After all, there is some pain, and it is difficult to heal.
When she and Ming Yijun returned to the wine store together and smelled the familiar smell of home, the fatigue of the journey was swept away. The unhappiness of meeting Chunniang before, she also left it all behind.
Although he had just come back at this time, Zhan Lu had to put himself into busy work immediately. Although there was a lady in the store before, but the lady has never been good at cleaning the room, for more than a month, a lot of dust has accumulated in the store, and it has to be cleaned one by one. The cellar and the inside of the room should also be cleaned well.
It's fun to go out, but you don't feel at ease until you go back to the sake shop. Zhan Lu thought so.
It's spring now, and the vegetables are much richer than before Zhan Lu left. If there's one thing that's the best of all these spring vegetables, it's the toon sprouts. The buds of the toon tree have one of the most bizarre aromas, and some people may not like the smell, but Zhan Lu finds the smell intoxicating. The tender taste and strange fragrance truly indicate the arrival of spring.
There is a toon tree in front of Zhanlu's door, and now it has grown many buds. Zhan Lu picked a lot, chopped it, blanched it slightly, and then beat it with the eggs and in one place.
She beat the eggs, then heated the pot, poured oil, poured the egg mixture with the crushed toon sprouts, looked at the heat, rolled up the egg cake with a spatula, and then cut it into sections with a knife and served it to the table.
Ming Yijun had been waiting at the table for a long time, and when he noticed what Zhan Lu was holding in his hand, his eyes lit up all of a sudden, and he said very happily:
"It's toon! It's something like that, you can't eat it all the time. ”
Zhan Lu triumphantly put the plate in front of him:
"I'm the best at doing this!"
Ming Yijun took a piece of egg roll and put it in his mouth, and the fragrance of the egg and the toon with a strange fragrance were mixed together, creating a very wonderful umami flavor. The heat of Zhan Lu is well controlled, the eggs are soft and delicate, and the taste of the toon is also very tender, which makes people can't stop eating.
Zhan Lu and Ming Yijun ate in turns, and when Ah Zhen Niangzi smelled the fragrance and ran over, the big plate of toon eggs had already been eaten by the two of them.
Ah Zhen didn't dare to complain about Ming Yijun, so she had to be coquettish to Zhan Lu:
"Alu, Alu, what did you cook? I haven't even tasted a bite!"
Ah Zhen Niangzi has always been greedy, and she always disliked Zhan Lu's cooking in the past, but now Zhan Lu has been taught by Ming Yijun, and her sense of taste has basically recovered, and her cooking is getting better and better.
Seeing Ah Zhen's lady coquettish like this, Zhan Lu was helpless and funny, in the end, she still picked toon buds and made her a toon egg roll to eat.
The lady ate with relish, and while eating, she said:
"Ah Lu's dish today is really good, it looks like Ah Lu's mother's dish in the past. In the past, every spring, Lu's mother had to do this. ”
Ah Lu suddenly heard her mention her mother, and the memories of her childhood suddenly came flooding back to her heart. At that time, she was still a little doll, holding a pair of chopsticks in her hand, and she couldn't understand anything. Mother smiled and picked up an egg roll and put it in her mouth, it smelled like the breath of spring.
At this time, what Ming Yijun and Mrs. Ah Zhen said and did, Zhan Lu couldn't pay attention to it. All she thought about was that her lost mother would never come back. She remembered that her mother used to be a wonderful cook, and when would she become like her?
She was thinking about it when a fragrant piece was brought to her mouth. She opened her mouth and ate it.
It's a toon egg roll...... And what my mother used to do...... Same taste.
She raised her head and saw Ming Yijun looking at her:
"Doesn't it taste like your mother's cooking? You're going to be a good cook like your mother." ”
Zhan Lu found that his heart was found out by Ming Yijun, and he couldn't help but be a little shy, and said angrily:
"Lang Jun is really excessive, using mind reading on me. ”
Ming Yijun shook his head:
"I've only used it once when I first saw you, and I haven't used it since. Aren't all the things you think clearly written on your face?"
When Zhan Lu heard him say this, she couldn't help but be very shy and turned her head.
Ming Yijun held her shoulders and kissed her eyes:
"Little Alu is going to become a big girl. In a few months, you can add to it. ”
Zhan Lu smiled at him shyly:
"Are you looking forward to it?"
Ming Yijun carelessly stroked her forehead:
"Are you looking forward to it? Actually, I'm looking forward to it, and by then, you'll be an adult. When you become an adult......"
He was only halfway through his words, and then he didn't continue, but showed a strange smile, and his expression was extremely charming, like a demon fox.
Seeing him laughing like this, Zhan Lu unconsciously touched the previous situation, and said with a smile:
"When I first met Lang Jun, I thought Lang Jun was a demon fox. ”
Ming Yijun chuckled:
"Now you know what I am?"
"At that time, I was short-sighted, and I didn't know what else could confuse people except the demon fox. After seeing Lang Jun, I realized that it was not only the demon fox that confused people. The demon fox bewitches people, but it is just for the sake of cultivating people's essence. Lang Jun is confused, but he wants me to follow Lang Jun willingly. Lang Jun is really much more dangerous than the fox demon. ”
Ming Yijun shook his head: "Since you know that I am dangerous, you should have stayed away from me." Now that you have four of your five flavors, and you are about to become an adult, I am leaving again. You could have lived an ordinary person's life. But now you will suffer with me. ”
Zhan Lu saw that Ming Yijun remembered the sad things again for some reason, so he tried his best to comfort him:
Even if this is the case, Zhan Lu has no regrets. It is my greatest luck to meet Langjun in this life. In more than two months, it will be Zhan Lu's ceremony, can Lang Jun prepare a hairpin for me to tie my hair?"
Her words really worked, and when Ming Yijun heard it, he forgot about his worries for the time being. He stroked her hair and said:
I've prepared the hairpin for you. It's just that this cute hair is about to be pulled up, which is still a bit of a pity. It's just as good as it is now. However, I have just received a letter from Mr. Sui, and he will be arriving soon. I have written to him to say goodbye, and when the seventh month I have done the prayer for you, I will leave with him. Before I leave, it's a blessing to see you dressed as an adult. ”
Although Zhan Lu knew that he was leaving, he always avoided thinking about it, and now when he heard him mention Dian Jun, he only felt shocked. Swallowing Jun and Weiji Jun Zhanlu have already seen each other, although they felt scary when they first saw them, after a while, they found that they were not as scary as they imagined.
Among the four fierce beasts, only Zhan Lu had never seen it. She had just listened to Ming Yijun's story, and then kept imagining what he looked like in her mind.
Although they are all fierce beasts, in Zhan Lu's impression, the Emperor seems to be a more terrifying beast than the three of them combined, and in her impression, his prototype can cover the sky and the sun, and plunge the world into chaos.
Is such a terrible beast coming here?
And then...... Take Ming Yijun away?
