Chapter 189: Change
The memories are very long, and the reality is just the time for a child to walk three steps.
In an instant, memories flooded into my mind.
A large number of memories and memories from nightmares are mixed together, as well as the voice of the cook shouting grievances, A-Yao has a splitting headache, she can't stand steadily, staggering, holding on to the pillar to rest.
Sweating profusely, cold sweat wet the forehead bangs, the wind blew, the clothes were cold, and the back was also sweaty.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Xiao Tong turned around, Ah Yao was still a few steps away and didn't follow, and walked back to urge him, only to find that Ah Yao's lips were blue, her face was not as ruddy as when she first arrived, and there was a gray face.
In a few seconds, recalling how she died, Ah Yao's spiritual qi seemed to be half drained.
The most terrible thing is that she knows that she is crossing and being reborn, and she knows that she is following the trajectory to die again.
"I don't want to die. Ah Yao's eyes were not focused, and she said blankly: "I did something wrong, I don't want to die." ”
"Huh, what are you talking about?" the boy didn't hear clearly, and craned his feet to listen.
Ah Yao shook her head lightly and pointed to the side of sleeping: "It's nothing, I can ...... Can I sit next to me and rest? It's true that I'm not feeling well, just take a break. ”
"Then you sit down first...... Do you want me to ask for a doctor?" Xiao Tong hurriedly nodded and asked her to sit, Ah Yao helped the pillar to move to the railing next to her and sat down, waving to Xiao Tong.
The unfinished words were that she wanted to go home, but ...... She can't let go of it, if this is the established trajectory, then today is not only her death, but also Pei Shuo's death.
If Pei Shuo doesn't die, the cook will not be wronged.
She can't go, she has to stay, for her own life and Pei Shuo's life.
As long as you can break the deadlock......
Break the ...... of fate
Perhaps this is the meaning of rebirth.
Ah Yao rested for a while and motioned for the child to continue walking, and walked to the river step by step with a worried heart.
"This is where you can cook. Xiao Tong introduced, and pointed to the fish viewing pavilion a hundred steps away and said, "The guests will be over there at that time, do you need a screen?"
"No thanks. ”
Ah Yao thought about it, and there didn't seem to be a screen in her memory. "By the way, can you build a few more stoves?"
The children were in full swing to have a makeshift stove built according to Ah Yao's request, and the kitchen brought in ingredients one after another, and Ah Yao checked whether they were fresh one by one.
There are no pufferfish.
She breathed a sigh of relief, this batch of ingredients is fine: "It's all here, isn't it?"
Xiao Tong: "Uh-huh, what else needs to be added?"
"Pei ......" Ah Yao didn't know what to call Pei Shuo now, so she reminded solemnly: "The important guest of this banquet has an unusual identity, and some people may want to attack him." The wine is not in my hand, you must check it well, don't let someone take advantage of the loophole, and affect the host's family for no reason. ”
Xiao Tong's expression was also put away, and he patted his chest seriously and promised: "Wrap it up on me." ”
"Please. Ah Yao still couldn't hold back, stretched out her claws that were about to move, and pinched his face.
Pei Shuo's comrades arrived early, and they divided into two ways: "I'll go and check the menu with the little chef, you wait for Pei Shuo." ”
……
The fruit of the mountains and fields is red, the skin is bitter and sour and can not be eaten, a bite up, the entrance is like eating a sour orange, but the skin is cut and different, suck the flesh inside into the mouth, the sweet and sour is moderate, it is most suitable for appetizing before a meal.
"Here comes the beef. "Xiao Tong personally sent it to see what A-Yao did.
She poked the beef, a little pity, the beef is relatively old, if it is cut into pieces and stewed, it will take a long time, and it will hurt when you chew it.
To make braised beef or stir-fried yellow beef, you need a little more tender meat, and the most suitable method for beef is marinated at present.
Boil a whole piece of beef to remove the blood and simmer slowly in a brine pot.
At this time, most of the beef was produced from old cattle. As the main labor force in the field, the imperial court once issued a ban on private slaughter and consumption.
Later, when the economy recovered, the ban was relaxed. If you want to slaughter, you need to report to the local government to confirm that the cow can only be slaughtered after dying of illness or old age, and the money from cutting and slaughtering and selling it cannot exceed the original value of the cow.
Most of the time, cattle are slaughtered and cooked to share with neighbors and lizheng, and rarely enter the market.
So on the one hand, the price of beef is low, which can be compared with the price of pork, and on the other hand, beef is a relatively rare meat.
While waiting for the beef, she turned to braised pork.
Pei Shuo and their comrades also arrived.
The aroma of brine slowly wafted out of the pot, and the meat was not covered by spices. The gurgling sound comes from the boiling brine blister, and it is also the sound of a child's belly.
The brine was prepared by her at home in advance, and when she saw that it was almost cooked, she poked the beef with chopsticks and quickly cut a slice to taste the taste for herself.
Yu Guang saw Xiao Tong swallow saliva suddenly, she slice another piece and gave it to Xiao Tong: "You try it." ”
The child hesitated, looked left and right and took the meat slices, the texture was clearly visible, about 2-3 sheets of paper thick, faintly light.
"Don't tell anyone about it. ”
"If you don't eat it, you'll be seen, look, someone is coming. ”
Ah Yao deliberately frightened, and the little boy hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth, and his cheeks were like a hamster hoarding grain, and he laughed out loud.
The boy glared: "You deceive me!"
It seemed that he heard laughter on the other side of the stove, Pei Shuo looked over there, and there was a woman in a goose yellow dress with a dark orange apron a hundred steps away, very familiar.
He glanced at it, and withdrew his gaze at the shout of the coming food.
Braised pork, white chopped chicken, braised beef, fried yellow croaker, roasted goose with plums, fried venison with green onions, small river shrimp with leek flowers, perilla pork ribs, and the dish is a pot of stewed braised vegetables.
All the dishes are served at once.
"Congratulations to Pei Shuo on his promotion to the regimental training envoy, and he will bring our brothers in the future. ”
"Thank you, Brother Li, Brother Wang, your exploits are remembered, promotion is a recent thing, and it will be my turn to congratulate you in a few days. Pei Shuo raised his glass.
"Cheers!"
"Everybody's getting better. ”
Ah Yao looked at them from afar, her hands clenched tightly, for fear that something would happen halfway.
After three rounds of drinking, A-Yao's tense heartstrings eased and relaxed.
Did she cross the hurdle?
"Miss Jiang Yao, please add a snack for you. The little girl lowered his head and held a basin of water, "These are small fish caught by the river, please fry them and make them crispy." ”
The servant put down the tub and turned to leave.
Ah Yao was supposed to go down, but she glanced at the wooden basin unintentionally, and her face was condensed: "Wait, you went over and called the guests who ordered the snacks and dishes." ”
"Miss Jiang Yao, you just do it, you are invited to come over and cook, let you cook as much as you want, don't embarrass me as a subordinate. ”
After saying that, he hurried away.
However, Ah Yao moved faster, picked up the cutting board and threw it, and then threw a sharp knife that hit the center of the cutting board.
The little guy stopped, and he didn't dare to move in a cold sweat.
"Did I tell you to go?"
