"Wow, it's gone. Tang Jiahong exclaimed exaggeratedly, with great joy in his heart, and asked: "Tell me, what's special?"

That look, it's like a girl who is immersed in love, asking herself if she looks good, and after getting a positive answer, she has to ask: "Where is it good?"

Looking at her expectant gaze, Lin Shuyan said: "The meat is fragrant, the lean meat is chewy but not woody, two layers of fat are sandwiched in the middle, fat but not greasy, the meat skin is cooked very deliciously, crispy with gelatinous texture, even if it is gravy, it is also very delicious." ”

It's a very ordinary food review, just like many TV stations play a food column, but in fact, they do paid publicity for the store, and the host's lines go back and forth with just a few sentences of "melt in the mouth" and "very fragrant".

This made Tang Jiahong more or less unhappy, after all, who doesn't want to get a special evaluation, just like a person who writes about the Internet, who doesn't want the comment area to be desolate, and doesn't look forward to the meaningless evaluation of "scattering flowers", "good praise" and "sofa".

Tang Jiahong said coldly: "It's nothing, I grabbed a piece of meat and made it messy." ”

Before her disappointment came out too much, she heard Lin Shuyan continue: "Although this is not really made of pork, it is almost the same as real pork in terms of texture and taste. ”

"You actually ate it?!" Tang Jiahong was in high spirits and continued to ask: "Then tell me, this is not made of pork, what is it used?"

Lin Shuyan thought about it seriously: "I don't know. ”

"Haha, do you also have times when you don't know?" can make the well-informed Lin Shuyan admit that he doesn't know, Tang Jiahong is very proud.

"Well, the raw materials of the imitation meat dishes I have eaten are nothing more than shiitake mushrooms, winter melon, tofu, konjac, dried tofu, and tofu skin, etc., but this braised pork is not any of them, there is no fishy smell unique to soybeans and shiitake mushrooms, nor is it as soft as the texture of winter melon, and the texture of konjac is too tight, you can see it at a glance. ”

"Hmph, I'll tell you now, it's tofu!" Tang Jiahong raised his head.

Lin Shuyan smiled and shook his head: "No, all beans have a beany smell, that kind of taste, no one can remove it so far, so I can't eat it, but I can eat a little rice fragrance." ”

Tang Jiahong's mouth was half-open, and she almost couldn't close it.

This is a dish that Tang Jiahong learned from the locals when he was traveling in Xiangxi, and carefully improved it so that it could be made for his grandmother.

There is a village in Xiangxi, called Furong Town, which was originally an unnamed town called Wang Village, and later in the eighties of the last century, a super powerful director took the hero and heroine who later became the actor and actress to make a movie.

Tang Jiahong decided to go there after listening to the content of the movie that her grandmother had talked about, the content of the movie was quite boring to her, but there was one thing there that attracted her very much, that is, rice tofu.

While most of the tourists just go for a bowl and leave, she grinds and soaks in the rice tofu shop, and finally figures out the whole process of turning the rice into a tofu-like object.

Grandma likes to eat braised pork, but when she is old, she should not consume too much cholesterol and fat, Tang Jiahong thinks that rice tofu can be used as a perfect substitute for braised pork, and after staying in Furong Town for more than two months, she can finally use rice tofu to make a piece of braised pork.

Listening to her eloquent conversation, Lin Shuyan also listened attentively, and he asked: "The taste can be handled by seasonings, but how did you achieve such a rich taste?"

"Of course, I did it well, rice tofu is made in layers, the bottom layer is slightly more alkaline water, made stronger, pressed longer, the part of imitation fat, it is tender, spread on the lean meat, and finally the layer of skin is the oldest and firmest, according to the level of two fat and three lean sandwich meat, and finally spread a layer of meat skin, and then use rice flour and starch to make a hanging paste, wrap six layers of braised pork, fry it in the pot, it is a fragrant and crispy pork belly taste. ”

In the end, she added: "It's not very difficult anyway, just be willing to put some effort into it." ”

"It's really easy to hear you say this, and it's as easy as Wang Xifeng's explanation of eggplant to Grandma Liu in "Dream of Red Mansions". Lin Shuyan smiled and looked at the empty bowl in her hand again: "Why don't you eat?"

"Oh, nothing, I ate too much in the morning and I'm not hungry now. ”

It is very happy to watch him eat, and the person who cooks likes to watch others finish their own dishes, just as the giver wants to open the gift and cheer excitedly.

"You must have been preparing this vegetarian braised pork for a long time, right?" I don't know when, Lin Shuyan took another bowl of rice and poured all the juice of the vegetarian braised pork into it, and the reddish-brown sauce was mixed with the rice, exuding an even more mouth-watering aroma.

Tang Jiahong looked indifferent: "No, it's all said, do whatever you want." ”

"This layer of rice tofu is not sold outside, it must have been made by you, and it started from grinding rice milk, so it should have been made yesterday. ”

Lin Shuyan's analysis is not wrong at all, when she waited for Lin Shuyan to come back yesterday, she was really bored, and suddenly remembered this particularly laborious dish, slowly grinded rice milk, ordered marinade, and pressed it overnight, which happened to be used today.

Tang Jiahong was a little embarrassed to be told that she was broken, she scooped half a bowl of hibiscus jade soup, picked up the spoon, slowly put it up, and sent it to her mouth.

"Have you ever been beaten before?" Lin Shuyan suddenly burst out without a head.

Tang Jiahong was puzzled.

Lin Shuyan pointed to the chopsticks she was resting on her left hand, just now, she was holding the chopsticks in her left hand.

"So many delicious things are placed in front of you, you don't stare at it, look at what my hands are doing. Tang Jiahong said angrily, but she was a little happy in her heart, who doesn't want to be cared for by a man with good looks and knowledge.

"Because I used to be left-handed, I was beaten many times, and then I was forced to switch to my right hand, and now I can use both my left and right hands. As if to confirm his words, Lin Shuyan picked up the chopsticks with his left hand and deftly pinched a pea and put it in his mouth.

Tang Jiahong seemed to be in a trance, her eyes looked at one place fixedly, but in fact there was no focus: "I used to be left-handed, and I was beaten by my mother many times, saying that I was a monster, abnormal, and perverted, and those who used their right hand like my sister were normal children." ”

"But the left-handed man is wise. Lin Shuyan, as a member of the left-handed alliance, couldn't help but make an indignant voice for her.

The corners of Tang Jiahong's mouth rose bitterly slightly: "What is different from others is that the monster is perverted and abnormal, only by following the steps and all according to the expectations of others step by step can it be a useful material that meets the standards." ”

"When I was very young, I was always pumped on the back of my hand by my mother with an iron hanger because of the problem of using my left hand, I didn't know how to use my right hand when eating, so I was not allowed to eat, and my left hand dared to touch the spoon and chopsticks, it was a beating, until the whole hand was swollen and swollen, and I couldn't pinch anything at all. When I was in elementary school, I learned to write, and I would fight if I held the pen with my left hand, and if I broke my hand, I couldn't write my homework, and I still had to be beaten......"

Speaking of which, Tang Jiahong couldn't go on, thinking of the past, she only felt a breath of sullen in her heart, although her sister's grades were not as good as hers, but because her behavior met her mother's requirements everywhere, because her mother always preferred her more, and then her father died, and her mother couldn't take the sisters alone, and her grandmother took the initiative to take Tang Jiahong away, and since then, she has gotten rid of the days of three meals a day.

Tang Jiahong lowered her head, a few strands of hair hung down, a gentle big hand pushed her hair behind her ear, she raised her head, and her pink cherry lips were gently covered.

The lips just touched lightly, and then let go.

"Is it comfort again?" Tang Jiahong chuckled, she was still immersed in the emotions just now and couldn't extricate herself, she thought that she had a delusion, thinking that she was in love with Lin Shuyan, and Lin Shuyan also liked her, this must be an illusion, two people who met in a bar because of drunkenness and immediately had a relationship, each other will not be good companions to form a family, they will live under the same roof, it is already a big joke played by fate, when everything is back on track, he will definitely marry a famous lady as his wife, as for himself, maybe he buys a small house, raises two cats, and lives a backwater life with a computer。

As for the familiar and distant throbbing that appeared in my heart, it must be because I have been lonely for too long.

has been in the financial industry for so long, Tang Jiahong's best thing is value investment, timely stop loss, for a person like Lin Shuyan who is destined not to be with him for a long time, just be a friend, don't invest in love, otherwise, when the time comes, he will be surrounded by a spring, and only he will be injured.

She said to herself: Tang Jiahong, Tang Jiahong, what kind of nymphomaniac are you, don't you look in the mirror and look at yourself, are you worthy of him, those family members of yours can drag him to death, how dare you like him?

Annoyed by the inner voice, Tang Jiahong frowned slightly, closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, all the feelings under her eyes, whether they were happy or worried, had been deeply hidden in the deepest part of her soul by the pair of black eyes, and no one would see them.

"Alas, what am I talking about, I just finished eating, I'm sorry, listening to these boring trivialities, will it hurt you to have indigestion?" Tang Jiahong pretended to laugh relaxedly.

"Come, I'll go out for a walk with you, walk a hundred steps after dinner, and live to ninety-nine. Tang Jiahong pulled Lin Shuyan up with a smile, and the two of them slowly walked towards the outside of the mansion.

Lin Shuyan walked beside her, looking at her back, the sun shone softly on her hair, and her black hair reflected a golden glow.

When Mrs. Lin asked him to come back and live at home, he still felt very boring, too far away, too quiet, inconvenient to interact with friends, until after that incident, he was like a wounded lion, retreating to his own piece of the world, at that time, the silence here gave him enough time to reflect on his mistakes, and later, his father handed over the company's business to him, in the busy work, he found himself again, lived here, and will never be entangled in waking up from a dream.

This is a half-level villa that everyone envies, but for him, there is no sense of home at all, his father is abroad all the year round, and his mother also needs to go out often to communicate with the noble ladies, the house is very large, there are many servants, but there is not even a person who can let him relax.

But now, looking at the woman in front of him, this is the first time, Lin Shuyan feels that there is a sense of home here.

Whether it was her silly and cute rush home, just wanting to cook for him, or her tireless care for him in the middle of the night, or making the painstaking vegetarian braised pork for him just now, her seriousness, her intelligence and skillful hands all attracted his attention.

In the past, Lin Shuyan had too many wild bees and butterflies around him, so after the night with Tang Jiahong, he ordered someone to investigate Tang Jiahong's background, know her family situation, also know her life background, and also know her short marriage history, and the reason for the divorce.

He didn't worry that Tang Jiahong had other intentions when he approached him or his mother, until he found out later that Tang Jiahong seemed to want to avoid him more, maybe this was to get away with it? But after a few contacts, he found that in the heart of this little woman, it seemed that she only relied on work to earn money to support her family, and she was quite proud, so he gradually felt at ease.

"Why are you walking so slowly?" Tang Jiahong suddenly stopped, turned her head to look at him, a pair of eyes were clear and bright, pure without a trace of impurities, her eyes were like a beam of light, shining into Lin Shuyan's heart, Lin Shuyan almost couldn't help but reach out and hug her cheek, kissing her lips deeply.

The soft tongue is familiar with the long drive of the road, and it is as gentle as the warm sun of this afternoon.

This is by no means a dragonfly-like comfort, nor is it just a fiery madness that just asks for a night of romance, this is a tender love between men and women, which has reached the depths of love.

Love!

When this idea came out of her mind, Tang Jiahong felt that she was daydreaming again, and when she was stunned, Lin Shuyan had already pried open her line of defense, and the tip of his tongue touched her tongue like a deception, but he was not immediately entangled in one place, just touched it lightly, and then withdrew.

His hand reached for her waist, holding the nephrite jade fragrance close to him, and his other hand gently grabbed her slender wrist and placed it on his shoulder.

Tang Jiahong was not wearing high heels at this time, the top of her head had just reached Lin Shuyan's shoulder, she was tightly hugged by him in her arms, almost unsteady on her feet, her feet involuntarily retreated, and she took a few steps back, suddenly, her back was tightly attached to a rough cylinder, which was the oldest big camphor in the Lin family's mansion, witnessing the changes in the world for a hundred years, as well as the joys and sorrows of countless crazy men and women.
