Chapter 196: Memories of Food

Of course, Chen Xin would not refuse this kind of request, they had discussed it privately, if the bookstore did not sell well, they would pay out of their own pockets to buy a batch and send it to the school below to enrich the library!

Coupled with Ye Lao's relatives, friends, old friends, colleagues and students, I think that hundreds of books should be able to be sold.

And when Chen Xin was sorting out Ye Lao's memoirs and essays, an idea also came up.

She wanted to collect the memoirs, essays, essays, essays, and other materials of the old scholars of Ye Lao's contemporaries, and make a reading salon to discuss the passionate collision of domestic and foreign cultures of these scholars of the older generation.

This salon does not necessarily have to find people from the Department of English or Foreign Languages to participate, as long as you are interested, you are welcome to participate in this area and have personal opinions, preferably people from this city or province, after all, this salon cannot provide accommodation, at most provide a light meal.

Chen Xin communicated with Senior Brother Han on this idea, and also consulted Brother Nan's opinion. Brother Nan felt that there was no problem, and even wanted to hold this salon in the city where the publishing house was located, but Chen Xin wanted to put the salon in a teahouse next to H University.

Chen Xin means that they can hold a salon first, everyone can read together and talk freely together, and finally if Ye Lao is in good spirits, he can also participate in their salon for a short time and answer some questions from readers, which is much stronger than holding it at the Southern Publishing House, and it is also equivalent to a deformed reader autograph session.

Senior Brother Han said that he would inform his senior brothers and uncles to go back to celebrate the old man's birthday, and open a reading salon by the way. was slapped back by Chen Xin.

"You don't call it a reading salon, it's called a brainless blowing conference. Believe it or not, if you tell your master like this, your master can be so angry that he won't talk to you. ”

Senior Brother Han touched his head, thought about it, and felt that it was really possible. But he was also worried that Chen Xin would not be able to do this salon if he wanted to, and he would disappoint the old man.

"I'm not stupid, I definitely won't tell my master directly. I'm going to post an article on my blog first, and then I will reveal the news that the salon will be held, so you can rest assured that there will be a lot of people who will be there even if they are rushing to the face. And the readers who are willing to pay attention to the articles I push will not be people who are unlearned, even if they don't like it in their hearts, they won't be able to get off the stage for the elderly. ”

Although Senior Brother Han played very well, he was definitely not as good at this routine as Chen Xin, so after making sure that the little junior sister was sixty percent sure, he was relieved to boldly hand over to Chen Xin to plan this event. As for the event venue, he is responsible for providing sponsorship. Isn't it natural to spend money for your master?

After arranging the publication properly, Chen Xin began to plan and arrange the affairs of the salon.

The salon certainly can't be held too early, at least until the book is out and sold for a while. And she can't just read Shigong's books, she plans to find books from other bigwigs in the same circle to see if there are any books that can be read together.

This search really found two copies. One is a book by an old translator, but the old man died last year, and his daughter is now a quiet and reserved literature professor at a university in Guangdong Province.

The other is still alive, but at the age of ninety-six, and his books are more about recalling the various anecdotes that happened in the study of world culture in that war-torn era. The article is witty and humorous, with a little bit of pain that makes people cry, and I feel heartache for the ordinary researchers in the article.

The 96-year-old is also currently in province H, but in a well-known nursing home. Chen Xin found someone to ask for a relationship, and inquired around the corner, the old man basically couldn't sit still, and spent most of the day lying in bed, and when he was rarely awake, he liked to let the nurse who took care of him read to him.

Chen Xin wanted to visit, but he heard that the old man was no longer an outsider, and the doctor did not allow the old man to come out and walk around, and his heart problem was very serious, and he could have an attack at any time.

When talking to Ye Lao about this old man, Ye Lao also sighed and said that his old man is quite open-minded to survive to this day, just because he agreed with his wife to help her see the world as much as possible.

"Only those who have love in their hearts can embrace life. Ye Lao took off his glasses, wiped the corners of his eyes, and recalled to Chen Xin when they were still young and studied literature together.

At that time, the material conditions were not as good as now, but the spirit was strangely satisfied, and everyone was happy even if they were hungry together. It's not like now, when you go out, you just eat and drink, sit down and talk about money.

"I miss the chicken stewed mushrooms and pork sauerkraut vermicelli that I ate in the countryside at that time, and I don't taste that taste anymore. ”

Chen Xin can't do chicken stew with mushrooms, and the professor's family doesn't have this condition. But pork sauerkraut vermicelli, she thought she could give it a try.

The new campus of H University is on the outskirts of the city, and a few miles away is a village, Chen Xin borrowed a bicycle, rode around the village, and bought five catties of home-made sauerkraut, ten catties of pork from home-raised pigs, as well as potato flour and sun-dried mushrooms. It's a pity that people don't sell chickens, and she has nowhere to deal with them when she takes them back.

After shopping around and buying a cart of ingredients, the villagers heard that she was going to buy them back to cook some authentic hometown dishes for the old professor, and also sponsored a large bag of home-grown vegetables.

When she returned to the professor's house, Chen Xin was busy. The meat was cut separately and bagged and put in the refrigerator, the sauerkraut was divided into four bags and put on the freezer in the freezer, the sun-dried potato flour and mushrooms were found in an empty cupboard and put in, and the fresh vegetables were picked out and put aside first, and the rest was pinched and tailed, and the yellow leaves were wrapped in plastic wrap and placed on the wooden shelf under the windowsill. The cold weather outside is enough to keep these dishes fresh for a short time.

Looking at the rare good weather outside, and then looking at the busy figure of the little apprentice, Professor Ye suddenly had a feeling of "this is home".

His children can't be said to be unfilial, but each has their own home, these years the world has settled down, even the New Year may not be able to get together, especially after the grandchildren study, it is less than coming back to accompany them, the home is gradually deserted, and their old couple is gradually used to living with each other.

Professor Yip's wife is also a professor, she teaches Mandarin, and later worked in the library, so she is not good at cooking, as long as she can cook food.

Chen Xin didn't want the old lady to help, she was enough alone. After a busy morning, the strong aroma of food in the small courtyard wafted out for a while, which provoked all the old guys in the neighborhood to find an excuse to come to the Ye family, and by the way, they poked their heads at the kitchen door to see what their family was cooking, which was so appetizing.
