39. Chapter 39
When returning, the oblique wind swept the drizzle, mixed with bursts of floral fragrance, so that people do not need to see the apricot blossom village pointed by the shepherd boy, and there will also be a faint sense of drunkenness.
Shen Huan hadn't sat in the car for a long time to enjoy the scenery of the capital, but unfortunately he couldn't sit with Gu Cheng - this was due to his concerns, unmarried men and women traveling together, and they always had to avoid some people's words and deeds.
It's just that she knows that he is not afraid that people will gossip about him, but purely for the sake of her reputation.
The ancestral tomb of the Gu family was built on the outskirts of the city, and it was almost noon when I returned to the downtown area. She lifted the curtain, saw his straight and beautiful back, the corners of her lips unconsciously raised, and asked, "It's all here, let's eat outside and then go back." ”
He said okay and turned his head slightly, "Do you want to eat something, or do you have anything to say?" ”
After thinking for a while, she replied with a smile, "It's been a long time since I've been in a big restaurant in the capital, and I don't know what is sought after nowadays." In this way, in the past, there was a family outside Xihua Gate, and the chef there was hired from Yangzhou, and the taste was quite right, why don't we go there? ”
He smiled when he heard it, and said casually, "You don't get tired of eating sweet meals all day long, you are really a northern girl with a southern tongue." ”
In fact, it doesn't matter where he goes, he doesn't care what he eats, he just breathes in the fresh air that is not dry or greasy, and he feels that he is in a very good mood, and he can't help but want to make fun of her.
After he reminded her like this, she remembered that in order to take care of herself, he had to put a few more spoonfuls of sugar in every cooking. Not to mention the light food that a big man eats every day, it is also sweet and greasy at every turn, which is really embarrassing for him.
Thinking so, he changed his mind again, "It was a restaurant many years ago, maybe it would have been a yellow stall by now." She casually pointed to a three-story restaurant on the side of the road, on which the word Fuxing Lou was written, "I'm hungry, let's stop on the spot, regardless of the type of food, that's it." ”
Gu Cheng naturally relied on her, stopped the car, and the guy beckoned him to go up to the private room on the third floor. A single room facing the street, with a window to overlook the street scene outside, is quite a bit quiet in the middle of the noise.
It's just that when the menu card was brought up, she looked sad, "Lu Cai?" ”
When the guy saw it, he was unwilling to react to her, "Does the girl feel that she has the wrong appetite?" Then I'll have to explain a few words to you. Lu cuisine was originally one of the four major cuisines, and our main focus here is the Jiaodong cuisine in Lu cuisine. The ingredients and accessories are exquisite, and they should be the freshest. Not to mention, there is only one dish of green onion roasted sea cucumber, the manager teaches you that you don't stick to a bite of green onion on weekdays, and you can eat a single green onion after tasting it, you see......"
"Come on, you don't have to say so much, it's good to see the real trick under your hands." Shen Huan interrupted him, with a teasing expression, "Anyway, from your mouth, I will never hear half a bad sentence." ”
The guy grinned, "No, if you don't believe me, just take a look downstairs." See, there are people standing outside, all waiting to come in and eat. If the store is not doing well, can so many people be willing to wait? Not to mention these individual guests, it is Chang Chitose, who is used to eating imperial meals in the palace, and when the family has a meeting, they all ask our chef to help......"
Seeing that her face suddenly sank, Gu Cheng hurriedly smiled and cut off the guy's words, "Got it, let's try it." There are just two of us, and three dishes and one soup are enough. You pick the best one, the girl has nothing to taboo, just don't make it too salty. ”
The man got the order, and he went happily. She glanced at him and laughed, "Why interrupt him, I'm not a grain of coal, and I can still explode when I hear a name?" ”
That's really hard to say, but he didn't admit it, and said no, "I'm afraid that you will be long-winded and throw face at others, and I will be the one who can't get off the stage at that time." ”
She rolled her eyes, "You are a bad and good person, and you are kind to everyone, can you really make money with harmony?" ”
He shook his head and smiled, and even coaxed and frightened her to persuade her, "I don't know if I will make money or not, but at least I won't make trouble." People don't dare to talk back on the surface, and they can't say that they will retaliate against you in the dark. Turn around and spit in your food, you won't be able to eat it anyway. ”
She gasped, she was speechless, and it was indeed a little disgusting to think about it, although she didn't admit defeat on her lips, she agreed with his words in her heart.
After a while, the dishes were ready, and when the people left, she frowned again, and said in disgust, "What are the four major cuisines, if you want me to say, Lu cuisine is two characteristics, it looks black and salty, in short, it makes people feel rough." ”
"Qilu is a civilized place, how can you say it like this." He ignored her indiscriminate criticism, and first sandwiched a sea cucumber to her, "Whether it's good or not, you have to taste it to know." ”
After eating, I felt that the sea cucumber was soft in the mouth, and it melted immediately, without a trace of fishyness, bringing out a fresh and tender taste, and the aftertaste had a strong sauce fragrance.
She couldn't help but praise, "It's still pretty good, you can try it too." ”
He said yes and chewed slowly for a while. After being silent for a while, he heard the sound of rain outside, reached out and pushed open a window, and looked down. I saw a father and daughter getting out of the car, the father holding the shamisen, and the daughter holding the tooth board in her hand, laughing and talking to the guy at the door, and then both entered the main entrance.
This is a rap Qingke, and now it is popular in the restaurant of Beijing Normal University to listen to some songs, dramas, and drum books while eating, so it gave birth to the Qingke industry.
In a blink of an eye, he saw a lot of people lined up in front of the door, and a man wearing a hat was getting down on his horse, and it seemed that he was also going to enter the store to eat. There was a sense of familiarity in the figure, but there was no face, and he disappeared out of sight when he turned around.
He smiled, it was better to come by chance than to come by chance, if Shen Huan was asked to wait in line for a seat to eat, she must not have that patience - she was the most impatient to wait, as if when they met for the first time, she would rather spend a lot of money to get the medicinal materials in advance.
Just as he was thinking about it, the music downstairs was already wafting up. He listened attentively, and the music seemed to be three laughs, but the lyrics were sung by Su Bai, and after listening to it for a long time, he didn't understand a word.
It is said that he is still in the filial piety period, and he should not listen to the music of these warblers and swallows, but when he goes out, he has to go to the market with him, not to mention that he is quite happy to look at the appearance of the person opposite.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and the guy came in with a smile again, holding a pot of wine in his hand, and smiled at Gu Cheng, "This is the new pear blossom white in our store, which is brewed with the authentic jade spring of Jinan Mansion, which is not as sweet and clear as the water in Beijing." Do you want to have a little bit, and the minor tune downstairs is the most appropriate for the occasion. ”
Seeing these two people wearing filial piety clothes, this guy is also eyeless, but now that he is in a single room, he just drinks a little wine, as long as no one sees it, it doesn't matter.
Gu Chengzi refused to drink, turned his head to look at Shen Huan, and felt that there seemed to be expectation in her eyes, so he ordered, "Put it down." ”
The guy put down the flask and went out, Shen Huanqi said, "Can you drink it?" ”
"I can't." He shook his head, "But you can, in a few months, you can get rid of it." ”
She raised an eyebrow, "What about the wife?" Don't forget it, she's the godmother I personally recognized, and besides, ......"
Before she finished speaking, she saw that he had already poured himself a glass of wine with a smile, and said, "Don't be so rigid in everything, just keep it in your heart." I still say that the living are more important. ”
It's easy to say, the upper lip touches the lower lip, but he himself is not strict with the rules, this person is the most strict with himself and lenient with others. She sometimes wonders how she was born and cultivated to have such an easy-going and expansive good temperament.
Knowing that counsel or inducement would not work, she let him go. I took a sip of the wine, and I didn't feel anything at first, but the more I drank, the more I felt that it tasted good, and before I knew it, I was greedy for a cup.
After a while, I could hear the babbling downstairs singing new songs, and the singing tone was still Su Bai. She squinted for a moment and asked, "Can you hear it, what is she singing?" ”
He shook his head, saying he really didn't understand.
Her eyes were full of smiles, hazy, "People who haven't been far away, it's so pitiful." You've grown so big, haven't you ever left the capital? ”
He admitted, after thinking about it, his tone was not without regret, "I've been to Xishan as far as possible, but I still haven't left the Beijing Division." ”
"So you don't understand." She held the wine cup and cocked a finger, "I told you, she sang a piece of the Mid-Autumn Festival." is about Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen, two people who took a boat to enjoy the moon in Qilitang. ”
Maybe it was because she listened to Su Bai, and her voice was also soft and glutinous, "In front of me is Xu Xian's words: I don't know how many lifetimes I have come to cultivate, so I can conclude the silk luo and climb your daughter." I'm like, the fish in the water has spirit, I am the twilight dynasty, I can't forget you Bai Suzhen. ”
It seemed to respond to his state of mind at this time, and it seemed to say the words from the bottom of his heart, and he listened quietly without saying a word.
She listened to it, and then said, "Later, Bai Suzhen responded: I hope that your heart is like my heart, and my heart is connected to my heart." Officials, how many times a year do you see the first month, but I hope that the flowers are always good, the moon is long, the people are long, and the pine is evergreen. I hope that thousands of years old will always go on a blind date, and the earth will never be separated. ”
Her eyebrows and eyes were like mist and silk, and there was a lingering affection between her tossing and turning. His heart was beating like a drum, and he was almost intoxicated to watch.
After a long time, he woke up and couldn't stare like this anymore. hurriedly moved her gaze down, but without warning, she was attracted by the jade finger she pinched the wine glass. It seems to be weak and boneless, with white and delicate roots, and the straight teacher wants to drag her over, hold it in his palm, and press it in his heart.
But the people in the room became more and more drunk, only to feel that the wine glass was shaking, and the people in front of him also swayed, as if from one to two, and then the whole room began to turn non-stop, and the world was in chaos. Shen Huan knew that his alcohol consumption was not so shallow, how could he get drunk like this after only half a pot, it was really undeserved.
However, before she could think about it carefully, the strength in her body had been suddenly drained, and she heard a loud clatter, the sound of a wine glass falling on the table.
She felt that her forehead was full of sweat droplets, the size of beans, flowing down her temples, falling on the tip of her nose, face, and even her eyes, and her eyes were stung in pain. The vision became more and more blurred, and the shadow saw Gu Cheng looking anxious and confused, grabbing her arm, and asking her urgently.
But she could not hear clearly, and she was unable to answer any more. As if she just wanted to fall asleep, when there was only a glimmer of sanity left, she gritted her teeth and struggled to squeeze out a sentence, "There is something in the wine......
Then he didn't have the ability to say one more word, his head tilted, and he fell into Gu Cheng's arms.
