Chapter 10: Beauty Lamp 5
The beauty lamp was replaced again, and Tsing Yi felt that when Hei Saburo removed the extinguished lantern again, he must have felt that it mattered.
Of course, this is just her personal speculation.
Master Gao, who was originally busy in the kitchen, suddenly walked out of the kitchen with a sharp knife in a rage.
Master Gao is tall and sturdy, he is busy slaughtering livestock and cooking all year round, I don't know whether he has absorbed too much of the aroma of stewed chicken, stewed duck or pork and beef, or eaten too much wine and food between cooking, which looks full of meat.
In order to facilitate his work, he rolled up his sleeves at this moment, revealing two muscular arms, the sharp knife in his hand glittering in the lamplight, and the blade was still dripping with blood.
I guess I was killing the cattle and suddenly ran out again.
As soon as Master Gao saw Tsing Yi, he hurriedly said: "Somehow, the pigs in the back stable suddenly went crazy and made a fuss, and the whole stable was frightened. β
In addition to the guests' mounts, most of the stables are cattle used in the inn's kitchen, and occasionally some of them are wild, and once they make a fuss, the guests' mounts are also frightened.
But the guest's mount was astonishing.
Master Gao was in a hurry to clean up the aftermath, and before the words fell, he hurriedly went to the back door, and Tsing Yi followed into the kitchen.
As usual, Master Gao stewed a large pot of chicken and duck in clear water, which was already cooked at this time, and the kitchen was full of the aroma of meat.
On the desk are neatly stacked with large pieces of sliced pork, and on the side is a basket of washed pig's trotters.
If there was no delay outside, Master Gao would probably have stewed these meat and pig's trotters in one pot.
Tsing Yi looked at the pig's trotters and thought of a very simple and delicious method, but he had to wait for an hour. However, since Master Gao has stewed so many chickens and ducks, he will not run out of dishes for an hour.
She rolled up her cuffs and examined the trotters to make sure they had all been removed and cleaned up.
Then she took some effort to clean the pig's trotters after one qiΔ into two, added some cooking wine to the pot of clean water, and then put the pig's trotters in, and boiled for a while after the water boiled, to remove blood foam and peculiar smell.
Then she put the blanched pig's trotters into the stew pot, increased half a pot of water, and added an appropriate amount of cooking wine, soy sauce, green onion and ginger, pepper, pepper, pepper, spices, bay leaves, grass fruits, boiled over high heat, and finally turned to low heat and simmered for an hour.
Wait until the chopsticks can pierce the skin meat, this salty, fragrant and crispy braised pig's trotters can be out of the pot, in the past, this is Tsing Yi's favorite meat dish, rich in gelatin, full of juice, and more beautiful and beautiful.
It's just that she hasn't eaten it since she came here, and now she smells the long-lost aroma, and Tsing Yi can't help but feel a little distracted.
When Hei Saburo came in to serve the food, he saw Tsing Yi in a trance holding a wooden shovel by the stove.
"What are you doing here? There were a few noses outside who smelled it and were clamoring to eat. As soon as Hei Saburo turned his face, he walked straight to the pot with the scented pig's trotters, and reached out and lifted the lid of the pot.
As soon as the lid of the pot was opened, a strong aroma of braised pork came to his face, and he showed a smile at the moment, and he wanted to grab one with his bare hands and taste it first.
Tsing Yi came back to his senses when he saw Hei Saburo, and when he saw this, he hurriedly blocked it with a shovel, and saw Hei Saburo staring at him strangely, and quickly explained: "It's not done yet, it has to be stewed for enough hours to be fragrant!" β
When Hei Saburo heard this, he had to pout and slowly withdraw his hand.
Tsing Yi hurriedly closed the lid of the pot, and smiled at Hei Saburo's flattering smile: "When it's done, I'll leave a few fat ones for you!" β
Hei Saburo stared at the lid of the pot for a while, and it seemed that he didn't give up, but at the end he still hummed, turned his head and went out with two chickens.
The guests who were hung by the fragrance waited for a long time, and they only waited for two light and tasteless white water chickens, although they were dissatisfied, they couldn't, who let the food come over to Hei Saburo.
When stewing pig's trotters, you must often use a shovel to turn it over to avoid the pig's trotters sticking to the pot.
The bright flames licked through the firewood, and the swaying flames made Tsing Yi begin to feel sleepy and slowly swept in.
She was so scared that she barely slept last night, but now that she was calm and there was a warm fire roasting, she fell asleep unconsciously.
ββββββββ
The firewood in the stove crackled and swayed, pulling the shadows of the people squatting in front of the stove. Tsing Yi stared at his black shadow, and his trance didn't know where to go, but he felt a little drowsy.
"Tsing Yi, do you say that when Niangniang sees me again, do you still recognize me?"
The chaotic feeling was like a calm lake, suddenly shattered by a flying rock.
Tsing Yi suddenly came back to his senses and turned his head to look at the person who had just spoken.
I was unconsciously distracted just now, but when I think about it, I don't know what I just thought.
She silently looked at Su Xi's slightly frowning eyebrows and those dark and lustrous eyes.
A few jumping flames flickered in her pupils, flickering and flickering, and then she saw a little pale face slowly reflected on it.
"What should I do if she doesn't recognize me?" Su Xi's voice choked, she raised her hand and covered her face with a white robe with wide sleeves, her shoulders trembling slightly, as if she was crying.
"Maybe it's been a long time, and it's hard to make out for a while." Tsing Yi reached out and pulled Su Xi's sleeve, tried to show a smile, and comforted, "Even if she doesn't recognize you, as long as you recognize her, it's fine!" β
Su Xi was stunned when she heard this, and then gently put down her hand, she only felt a little desperate, but Tsing Yi's words woke her up instantly.
There were still undried tears on her cheeks, glistening in the firelight, but the sad look on her face faded instantly, and then she bent her eyebrows, and smiled at Tsing Yi: "You're right, it doesn't matter if she doesn't remember me, as long as I remember her." β
Su Xi is a beauty, with a touching charm with a smile, looking at Su Xi's bright smile, Tsing Yi unconsciously laughed.
The firewood in the stove was burning, Tsing Yi felt warm all around, she and Su Xi smiled happily face to face, only feeling warm and peaceful at this moment.
However, at this moment, Tsing Yi saw that Su Xi's eyes suddenly burst into a bright light, she raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows seemed to have a strong obsession, which made her smile suddenly become weird.
Then she said: "Tsing Yi, do you know, I found my mother!" β
When? Tsing Yi's eyes widened slightly, and it was difficult to understand Su Xi's words for a while.
They spend most of their time at the Santuchuan Inn, when did Suxi's mother come?
"I saw her today, and she finally came to pick me up!" Su Xi's face let out a glimmer of happiness, and continued, "Although she didn't recognize me, I recognized her at a glance, my mother is the most beautiful woman in the world, she hasn't changed at all, she is still so beautiful!" β
"Tsing Yi, I'm really happy!"
Tsing Yi watched Su Xi raise her right hand, covered her mouth and smiled, her laughter was crisp and pleasant, and kept echoing in her ears.
"Hee-hee-hee-Tsing Yi, you say, does Niangniang miss my daughter? She must have had it in mind! With this recognition, my long-cherished wish in this life will be over......"
"Well, naturally it should be like that......" Tsing Yi shook her head slightly, and Su Xi's constantly echoing laughter gradually became monotonous and sharp, straight through the eardrum, stabbing her headache.
She uncomfortably reached out and pressed her forehead, only to feel a thin artery beating rapidly between the textures.
The vision gradually became blurred, and Su Xi's appearance was hazy into a phantom, and Bai Sheng swayed there.
Su Xi's voice was like a pulp, distorted to the point that it was difficult to distinguish, and in the confusion, she only heard her own heartbeat slowly becoming clear.
Puff - Puff -
Tsing Yi struggled to stand up, and then she felt a blackness in front of her eyes, and her body fell violently.
"Crackleβ"
The firewood in the stove burst open with a loud crackling sound.
Tsing Yi's head fell violently, and he woke up from his sleep.
There was a muffled sound in the pot where the pig's trotters were stewed, and the rich smell of meat spread everywhere, making people's stomachs empty.
Tsing Yi was attracted by the fragrance of braised pig's trotters, and his messy consciousness finally returned, did he accidentally fall asleep.
She stood up, almost falling down from her numb legs, and suddenly wrinkled her face and rubbed her legs there.
A small crumbling sound faintly came from the corner in front of it, with a sticky sucking sound, sizzling.
Tsing Yi's legs stopped rubbing, straightened up and listened carefully in place for a while, looking intently at the corner.
The clacing sound continued, mixed with a low grunt that seemed to come from the bottom of the beast's throat, and the sound of sharp teeth gnawing at bones.
Tsing Yi pursed his lips nervously, and hesitated a little between running out immediately to call Kurosaburo and standing still.
If you run, you will naturally fall behind in terms of speed, but will you stay for this unknown monster who steals food as a meal?
Before she could think deeply, the back door was pushed open, and Master Gao, who looked impatient, walked in from outside the door, and when he saw Tsing Yi, he said loudly: "Finally, the cooking is over, I am frozen." β
"Hmm." Tsing Yi responded absentmindedly.
At the same time as the door was pushed open, a black shadow rushed out as fast as lightning.
Master Gao snorted happily and praised, "This is stewed pig's trotters?" It smells so good! β
When he walked to the stove and was about to take a look, he suddenly scolded with a heavy face: "Which one eats alone and eats so much?" If you catch it, you have to peel off the skin! β
Tsing Yi went up to take a look, and there was a small pile of bones on the ground, all of which were licked and clean, and there was not even a bit of meat left.
She hurriedly lifted the lid of the pot and took a look, and there were only seven or eight pig's trotters left in the pot, and the rest were piled up on the ground as bones!
"Thankfully, there are a few left." Tsing Yi was relieved first, she still remembered that she said that she would leave a few braised pig's trotters for Hei Saburo, and when she saw this, she immediately fished out six, and explained to Master Gao, "Hei Saburo said that he wanted to eat it, I will send it to him, and when Master Gao goes back, he will pack up some pig's trotters and come out, and I will make a pot again!" β
Master Gao had to stare at the plate of braised pig's trotters being brought out.
Hei Saburo waited for a long time and finally waited for the braised pig's trotters, so he sat down and gnawed on the big thorns.
The guest in the back called Xiao Er again, and Tsing Yi was about to say hello, and a white figure flashed over.
Tsing Yi's figure was a little surprised, wasn't the one standing in front of the guest Su Xi?
"Su Xi ...... she," Tsing Yi asked Hei Saburo hesitantly, "Does her soul continue to work here?" β
"Nonsense, she was originally an innkeeper." Hei Saburo licked the corners of his mouth, and glanced at Tsing Yi like an idiot, "She's just dead, and that soul is still a guy in the store." I think she is a little resentful, if she can pass the first seven and not disperse, she can turn back to the store and there are more people who can be called. β
Tsing Yi looked at Su Xi and walked over lightly, and smiled brightly in the direction of the corridor halfway, which made her immediately think of the dream she had just had.
She followed Su Xi's line of sight, first saw Xiuxiu, and then a charming and enchanting woman.
She looks fresh and delicate, but she is in her prime, and she has a beautiful face like a flower, and she is curling her orchid fingers at this time, and she is eating beautifully.
"Mother, this is delicious." Xiuxiu, who was happy to eat, still had a little sauce on her face, raised her head and smiled at Jiao Niang.
Tsing Yi silently glanced at Xiuxiu and Jiao Niang twice, and then turned back to look at Su Xi.
I saw Su Xi standing there, her eyes shining, looking at Jiao Niang and Xiuxiu stupidly, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, implying joy and persistence.
Tsing Yi only felt that her heart moved, it was the smiling face she had seen in her dream.
Could it be that Su Xi mistook Xiuxiu's mother for her own mother?
Thinking about it together, Tsing Yi shook his head again, but a dream, he was entangled. When I looked up at Su Xi again, I saw that Su Xi still had a gentle appearance with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, her slender waist swayed gently, and she walked around lightly.
And the extinguished beauty lamp is quietly placed on the counter.
