Chapter 163: Unspeakable
Seeing that the little guy picked the little mung bean eyes, and hooked the corners of his mouth, the gossip was not good, Chen Afu was very helpless. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info This little thing is sometimes very naΓ―ve, sometimes it has a lot of eyes, and today I found out that it still has a slight paranoia.
She gave it a sneer, "What nonsense are you talking about?" I made it clear to you a long time ago, he and I are people of two worlds, we are one in the sky and the other in the ground, how can we be together. The gap between Liu Xudong and me in my previous life was not so big, and I was dumped so badly. I can't be stupid enough to wrestle in the same place and climb the high branches again. Besides, he seems to already have a woman he likes, and maybe it won't be long before he gets married to a daughter-in-law. Hey, Yan'er's children want more than one stepmother, poor baby. β
Chen Afu said, shook his head helplessly, broke one-fifth of the wood slag, and put the rest into the purse in the space and went out of the space. When I got out of the space, I heard Jin Yanzi with a hard mouth behind me, "No, I'm an emotional psychoanalyst, how can I look at the wrong person......"
Chen Afu went to the warehouse again, took out two large pieces of frozen mutton, and asked Xue Dagui to shave the mutton with a planer. The slices of meat shaved in this way are not only much thinner than those cut with a knife, but also rolled, which looks good and is easy to clip.
The chicken soup was already thick, Chen Afu fried the hot pot ingredients, and then added the chicken soup to continue boiling. Of course, when adding chicken soup, by the way, I also added that little bit of agarwood dregs.
It was getting darker and darker, and there was goose feather snow in the sky. And the fragrance wafting from the kitchen window makes people can't help but stop and inhale hard.
Old man Zeng smelled the smell of more and more fresh fragrance and said, "God, I have lived for such a handful of years, and I have never smelled such a fragrant smell." β
Chen Afu and the others were busy in the kitchen, and when she saw the snowflakes falling bigger and bigger outside, she was even more happy. This is the best weather to eat hot pot.
There are not many dishes now, only meat dishes include mutton rolls, shrimp, pork balls and fish balls, and vegetarian dishes include cabbage, bean sprouts, lotus root slices, shiitake mushrooms, vermicelli and bean skin. In order to eat hot pot at home and for the convenience of entertaining, Chen Afu specially asked people to make four homemade charcoal stoves out of iron sheets, as well as four square tables with a hollow middle.
The Chen family couldn't afford to buy silver frost charcoal, so Aunt Luo asked people to go back to Tangyuan to get some.
A table of hot pot was set up in the upper hall, and Chen Ming, Ah Lu, Dabao, and Luo were stewards to accompany Chu Lingxuan to eat. There were two tables in the east room, one table of hot pot, and Wang accompanied Aunt Luo, Wei, Mother Song, Aunt Zeng, and Aunt Mu to eat. There is also a table that is not hot pot, but some braised vegetables and roasted vegetables, which are eaten by the children, and Chen Afu accompanies them to eat. There was a table of hot pot in the inverted room, which was eaten by the men, which was a welcome to Old Man Zeng and others.
There were the least number of people in the hall, and the most dishes were prepared, including six large plates of mutton rolls, four plates of fish balls, four plates of pork balls, and a number of vegetables, but the result was still not enough. I had people planing six large plates of mutton rolls, washing two small pots of vegetarian dishes, and finally eating all the meat and vegetarian dishes, and a few people put down their chopsticks.
At this table, except for Dabao, who opened his small belly and ate to his heart's content, the other few people barely touched the mutton rolls. The twelve plates of mutton, except for the small half of the big treasure eaten, almost all of the others went into Chu Lingxuan's stomach.
Chen Afu occasionally came out to take a look, and his heart twitched, for fear that he would have a sagging stomach.
Chu Lingxuan finished eating, and wiped the sweat on his forehead with a silk cloth with great satisfaction. Chen Afu smiled at the one who came out, "Master Ah is really exquisite, and the food he concocts is always addictive." This hot pot is much better than what I ate at the Hongyun Hot Pot Restaurant in Beijing. In a few days, my grandfather will come here from the capital to celebrate the New Year, and my grandfather likes food the most. When the time comes, he will also ask Master Chen to make such hot pot for his old man a few more times, so that his old man will be happy and happy. β
Chen Afu nodded in agreement. I felt a little funny in my heart, and I didn't know whether to do it for him or for the old marquis of Chu.
Chu Lingxuan said to Steward Luo again, "This time I brought back ten fat sheep from Dingzhou, and you can send two of them over tomorrow...... No, keep one at home and send the rest. β
Steward Luo bowed down.
Chu Lingxuan got up to say goodbye, Song's mother wrapped Chu Hanyan with a small silk quilt, Chu Lingxuan took Chu Hanyan from Song's mother and held it in her arms, and a group of people went out. Chen Afu asked Shanzi and Xue Dagui to send the big tiger brothers and sisters home.
I don't know when the heavy snow stopped, the ground was covered with a thin layer of white snow, and the sky was full of twinkling cold stars, making the sky even more cold and bright.
Out of the Lu Garden, the wind was stronger. The cold wind swept through the open fields, swept over the dead branches covered with ice and snow, and whistled past the ears.
Maybe it was because of his daughter's sticking to his chest, Chu Lingxuan felt unusually warm in his heart. Over the years, even on summer nights, no matter how many people were around him, he felt empty in his chest, extremely lonely and lonely. And at this moment, there is not only warmth in his chest, but also a strange satisfaction......
"Auntie, Dabao." Chu Hanyan shouted in his ear.
Chu Lingxuan stopped and looked back, at the gate of Luyuan, there were still two figures, one tall and one short. Under the clear light, the two figures were looking at them.
Seeing that they had turned back, the short figure raised his arm and beckoned to them.
"Giggle......" Two clear light laughs sounded in Chu Lingxuan's ears.
It's a daughter's laughter! Daughter, I can laugh out loud.
Hearing his daughter's laughter for the first time, Chu Lingxuan was very excited. He looked at his daughter, and saw her smiling as she looked at the two men in the distance. He whispered again, "Yes, auntie...... Dabao. β
Chu Lingxuan was happy and a little hurt again, and asked, "The girl doesn't like her father?" β
Chu Hanyan hugged his neck, retracted her gaze, hit his cheek with her own cheek, and said, "I like it...... Daddy. β
Chu Lingxuan laughed out loud and said, "Good girl, Daddy likes you too." β
"And ...... Like...... Auntie, Dabao. Chu Yan said with glutinous words, and urged again, "Daddy, say ......."
Under the clear glow, the little girl's eyes looked at him brightly, and her eyes were full of anticipation.
"Uh...... Hmm......" Chu Lingxuan looked back at the two figures again, and said into Chu Hanyan's ear, "Girl, daddy is a man, and some words are difficult to say." β
Although Chu Lingxuan didn't say what the little girl wanted to hear, his hot breath blew in her ears, tickling and hot, making her feel very funny, and she giggled twice.
Chu Lingxuan saw that the little figure was still waving to them, and he looked at it for a while before turning around and walking towards Tang Yuan.
It wasn't until Chu Lingxuan's father and daughter turned around the dead trees and couldn't see the figure anymore that Dabao's raised hand was put down.
Chen Afu smiled, "I can't see them, it's time to go back." β
