Chapter 35: Unhappy Parting

Ah Yao bowed under the Moon Gate before and after Bai Lu, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming in a blink of an eye. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Nearby people began to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Mochizuki closed the door to live his day, without the slightest festive atmosphere.

"Scallop ~ How is the tofu cut today?" Mochizuki asked, "If we can't cut it well, we will eat braised tofu." ”

Ah Yao in the kitchen heard Mochizuki's words, her hand shook and she was crooked again.

Worst!

She raised her eyes and glanced at the moon under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard.

She lay comfortably in the rocking chair, squinting, the sun passed through the leaves, sprinkled on her body in fine pieces, the breeze blew, the branches and leaves swayed, and the golden osmanthus flowers were blown down in clusters and fell on her skirt, which was also stained with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

Very good, Mochizuki didn't pay attention, Ah Yao quickly poured the chopped tofu into the bowl, covered it with a damp cloth, and continued to cut the tofu as if nothing happened.

The tofu is freshly done, white and tender, and there is a slight movement on the case, just like a frightened little white rabbit, trembling and shivering, shaking for a long time before it is quiet.

It is not easy to cut the thickness evenly, and the veteran chef can rely on many years of feel and rich experience, for novices, Ah Yao will inevitably hesitate for a long time every time she goes under the knife, and then find the right angle to go down, for fear of cutting -

She has been eating tofu dishes for more than half a month, and she really doesn't want to eat them anymore!

Finally cut a plate, she took the results out to Mochizuki, Mochizuki's eyes skimmed over the cucumber and shredded radish, but stayed on the tofu for a long time, she couldn't help but feel weak, and secretly prayed that Mochizuki didn't see through her little trick, and one or two pieces of tofu missing should not be discovered, right?

Mochizuki said: "Alas, little bird's nest~ The conpoy has cut the tofu again, but tonight we don't eat braised tofu, we eat shallots mixed with tofu." ”

Broken, was discovered. "Mr. Mochizuki, how do you see that? ”

"Oh. The bird's nest girl who poured watermelons by the ancient well looked up, and A-Yao saw the indifferent face of the later Zhang Yining Great Demon King from her face, and she went into the kitchen to bring a few more watermelons.

Mochizuki was curious: "After all, listening to the sound of cutting vegetables, I have a little experience, and you can't hide this little action from me." Little bird's nest, a watermelon is enough for us to eat, and we can't eat it all more. ”

Bird's Nest said: "I'll have a few more dinners tonight, and I refuse all forms of tofu dishes." Also, don't call me Little Bird's Nest. ”

For more than half a month, three meals of tofu dishes a day can't stand anyone.

Partial birth Mochizuki let her practice knife work with tofu, and when she was ready to eat other dishes, she ate tofu vegetables when she practiced, and she couldn't stand her physiological disgust when she changed flowers to do it.

"Little bird's nest is much better than your original name. Mochizuki disagreed, "When you grow up and set up your own door, you can't use your name, bird's nest is heard, rich and nourishing, how good this name is." ”

Bird's nest's real name is Shangguan Yan, it is said that the ancestor was prominent for a while, and then committed an accident, and the family gradually declined, as for how to get to Mochiyue's side, bird's nest did not say, Mochizuki did not mention, and Ayao did not ask further.

I still remember that when she heard the "stage name" given by Mochizuki loudly object, the bird's nest was next to the knife: "Since that day you said that you wanted to apprentice, the girl thought about it every day, until one day someone else sent a box of Jiang Yaozhu ......"

By analogy, Shangguan Yan's "stage name" should not have been inspired by someone who gave a box of bird's nest at that time, or Mochizuki looked up and saw the swallow's nest.

"Eating so much watermelon, beware of stomach aches. ”

The three of them seemed to deliberately ignore the plate of tofu.

"Miss Mochizuki, the eldest young master of the Pei family came to visit. The mother-in-law guarding the door came to report.

Mochizuki turned his head, "Yao Zhu, after enough rest, you should go and practice knife work, and put down that piece of watermelon." ”

"Yes. Ah Yao bit the watermelon into a dog to chew it in two bites, wrapped her mouth around the red juice, turned her tongue flexibly, licked it, and went back to cut the tofu.

Mochizuki gathered the fallen osmanthus and let the bird's nest be put away, before going to meet Pei Shuo.

It didn't take long for Pei Shuo to come out to look for A-Yao after returning to the other courtyard, but he didn't expect that only Mochizuki and bird's nest came out, and he finally couldn't help asking, "Where is A-Yao?"

"Yao Zhu retreats and practices knife work, if Pei Gongzi has something, he can leave a message, and when she comes out, I will convey it. ”

Pei Shuo said: "When I sent her, I told her to send me a letter every three days, but in the past half a month, there have only been three letters, and I just want to know the reason." ”

Mochizuki said: "Pei Gongzi is too worried, Yaozhu has a heavy academic load and has no time to reply to the letter, and didn't Gongzi send her here at that time to let her study hard, what's the matter, regret it?"

"That's right, I regret it, I'm going to pick her up now!"

Pei Shuo's life in the cottage was not bad, and he played with Pei Xingzhi again, Ah Yao also sent three letters at the beginning, and the third letter he replied was intercepted by Pei Xingzhi's people on the way, and the letters were not delivered to Ah Yao at all.

A-Yao didn't receive a reply, plus Mochizuki's daily assignments, she was busy and dizzy, and she didn't want to move at night, and over time, she didn't bother to write a letter to Pei Shuo.

After half a month, Pei Shuo forgot about A-Yao's appearance - if he hadn't returned to the courtyard in the Mid-Autumn Festival and shook Cui Shengxiang to mention it, he probably wouldn't have come here.

After all, it's a child's heart, and he likes the new and hates the old, but he was stimulated by Mochizuki, and the fire also came up. "I sent the person, and she is not your apprentice, I said that if I want her to take it back, I will take it back, and it is not that there is no good master. ”

With these words, the bird's nest who was waiting on the side also felt that it was wrong, and couldn't help but look at the moon.

"That being the case. She stood up, "I'll call A-Yao." ”

She glanced at the bird's nest, the bird's nest understood, and helped Mochizuki to leave the flower hall, "This stinky boy doesn't know what is crazy, let's dry him, I'll go to take a nap first, you go to the kitchen to see the progress of the conpoy, she hasn't practiced yet, you help her more." ”

"I know. ”

The master and apprentice parted ways, Pei Shuo waited in the flower hall for a long time, took out the family letter, looked at the words on it, hesitated for a long time, opened the fire paint, and looked at the content inside.

His father Pei Zhengwen's words, with only a few lines, made him feel cold.

Because his stepmother newly entered the door, he was worried that he would run into his stepmother, and used the excuse of studying to let him continue to stay in Nanxun County, and the second brother and aunt were right.

After waiting for a long time, there was no one else in the flower hall except for a little maid who poured tea and water.

Pei Shuo happened to be discouraged at home, and was treated indifferently by Mochizuki A-Yao, and his stomach was on fire, "Okay, very good! Jiang Yao, you are ungrateful, I wrote it down!" He scolded loudly, brushed his sleeves and left.

"En?" Ah Yao moved her ears slightly, she seemed to hear Pei Shuo's voice, and smiled: "Probably not, Pei Shuo's voice will spread so far." ”

"Instead of worrying about Master Pei, it's better to think about your tofu, and then cut it down, you can't run away from tonight's shallots mixed with tofu. ”

Ah Yao had a bitter gourd face, at this time, she was still trying to escape punishment, but she didn't expect Pei Shuo to leave in a bad mood, which was actually a bad start.
