The aunt who came to answer the door was in her fifties, her face was wrinkled, and her outfit was very usual, and she would be submerged in the crowd......

However, I only glanced at it, and my eyes were completely drawn to the person behind her!

Gu Dart Master had a common expression, and followed the two people into the courtyard without changing his face, and I paused and followed.

The small courtyard looks clean and tidy, and there is a grape shelf in the corner of the yard on one side, but unfortunately the season has passed.

I looked around, looked at Gu Dart Master beside me in amazement, and said, "This is the time-honored brand you said." ”

A moment later, in the open space in the courtyard, the eldest lady moved a table, and after a few moments, she had changed her appearance.

The brazier is warm, the beef and mutton are stewed in the small red clay stove, and the smell of the sweet and fragrant rice wine on the table makes people slightly drunk.

The eldest lady poured me wine, looked at me with a smile and said, "What do you call the little brother?" ”

Ever since they entered the hospital, the young man who had amazed me at first had entered the house and had not come out again.

My eyes just glanced at the side room with the lights on, and when I heard the eldest lady ask me, I quickly turned my head and replied, "You can call me Xiaolin." ”

"You're doing business here during the day?" I looked around, and I really couldn't see any traces of business during the day, but on the way here, Gu Dart Master said yes, so I asked tentatively.

The eldest lady smiled: "It was closed a few years ago. ”

She faced me and explained in a low voice: "My restaurant's restaurant was originally opened on East Street, and if you come from the dart board, you will definitely pass by there." ”

I was stunned for a moment, thinking back to the route that the carriage passed just now, although I followed Gu Dart Master out without any worries, but I also memorized the general route in private.

Seeing the scene on the street is different from the daytime, seeing more men walking on the street.

Gu Dart Master told me that it is one of the five major festivals in Sealand.

Of course, the carriage detour is a fact, and the East Street mentioned by the lady in front of us is about the lively street we have seen the most people!

I pondered for a moment...... Curiously, he said to the eldest lady: "Since it was closed a few years ago, how could it be?"

"You're asking me to entertain you?" The eldest lady couldn't help but smile, "Naturally, it's because of regular customers, like Gu Liu, who grew up eating the food I cooked from childhood to adulthood." She brought you here, it's so rare, she hasn't brought a man to me for a few years, can I not entertain you? ”

"Auntie." Gu Dart Master blushed and whispered to stop, "It's time to add ingredients to the soup." “

The eldest lady laughed heartily and said continuously: "I'll go to the kitchen to get it, right away." “

After she walked away, the lively atmosphere fell silent for a moment, and I coughed. Gu Daoshi raised his head and looked at me and said, "Xiaolin, don't mind, my aunt is used to joking." "It's okay, it's okay." I smiled indifferently and other book friends were reading:.

His eyes looked in the direction of the kitchen where the eldest lady walked, and his eyes inadvertently swept over the side room with the lights on. There appeared to be a figure wandering around the room.

Gu Dart Master looked in the direction I was looking at, picked up the cup on the table with rice wine poured in his hand, poured a few sips, wiped the corners of his mouth and said: "That's Aunt Dong's nephew, who has been living with her, and failed to take the exam in Zealand last year, and her personality is introverted." After coming back, he closed the door. “

"It's rare that he can go out and walk around the yard tonight." "Hmm." I replied noncommittally, but I just looked at the face, the man with a handsome face and a particularly arrogant temperament, and felt that he didn't put anything in his eyes.

My gaze turned to the autumn night sky. The bright moon hangs high, but the dark blue sky curtain is like an infinite loneliness, and there is no end to it. "You've been eating her food since you were a kid? I think the dart game is very big, and there are a lot of people at the bottom, is it such a big yard. Don't you have a cook who can cook? “

As soon as the words came out, I thought back to the food I had eaten at Gu Dart's place in the past two days, and I had the impression that the taste was still acceptable. "It's when I was a child, at that time, the dart game didn't have the current scale, and it was still developed and expanded in my mother's hands," Gu Dart Master paused in his tone and recalled, "She broke her heart for the things of the dart game in her life, and finally became ill and left ...... last year."

After Gu Dart Master finished speaking, he poured another glass of wine and drank a few sips, my eyes darkened, and I said, "I'm sorry, I mentioned your sadness." "It's not sad," she said with a smile barely squeezing out the corners of her mouth, "People always have to look forward, and the past will pass." "That's right." I raised my hand to make a toast with her, and that sentence went to my heart.

Those who go cannot be chased, cherish the present. "Aunt Dong and my mother have been best friends since childhood, and we have been friends for a long time."

She changed the subject, her tone much more relaxed. "Handkerchief?" I asked in a low voice, a smile on her lips, and she made eye contact with me, her hand holding the cup trembled, and she looked down to avoid my smile. "Yes." While Gu Dart Master was talking, Aunt Dong took a few spices from the kitchen, and strangely, there was a medicine bag in the middle.

I sniffed and smelled the aroma coming from the soup mixed with a faint medicinal smell.

The doctor of the three-legged cat, the sensitivity to medicine is naturally more than that of ordinary people, I carefully identify the composition of the medicine, well, there are Huang's, angelica, nutmeg "Xiaolin, don't be surprised, this is the exclusive secret recipe of the eldest lady," Aunt Dong saw me frowning thoughtfully, and said: "These ingredients, as well as the medicine bag in my hand just now, put it down, and you will be able to taste the best mutton soup you have ever tasted." “

She was full of confidence when she spoke, I glanced at her face, the wrinkles were about to bloom, and I couldn't help but smile: "Then I'm looking forward to it!" "At least half an hour, you drink some wine and eat some side dishes, and then I'll go to the kitchen to get two more dishes."

Aunt Dong came and went, and the courtyard was still quiet, only me and Gu Dart, and the mutton soup in the pot was cooking, and the lid of the pot was made a slight sound when it was hot.

"I heard my aunt say, are you ranked sixth?"

I thought about the title I had just heard, and asked Gu Dartmaster.

"It's not that I'm the sixth in the family, it's just a nickname that my neighbors use to call me."

"It's very special, I really thought you had five brothers or something, good novels:." I looked at her half-jokingly, half-seriously.

"Xiaolin, you are going to Xilan to find relatives, which street does he live on?" Gu Dart Master bowed his head and said, "Speaking of which, I have been to the capital of Sealand several times, you can tell me, maybe I still know, maybe I still know it, I know a lot of people in the capital." ”

"Oops!" I secretly screamed in my heart, during the day, she and Ji Jiu set words, I didn't need to participate in the whole process, and let Ji Jiu come forward to deal with it, but it was only me and her who showed up drinking in the courtyard, and Ji Jiu was not even there.

I haven't talked to him beforehand, so if something goes wrong, how can I justify it?

I want to talk about a place, but I'm not even familiar with the streets of the Sealand capital, and I can't even name any of the lively streets, how should I answer her?!

Seeing that I bowed my head and was silent, Gu Dart Master looked at me hesitantly and said, "I asked abruptly. ”

"It's okay." I responded, but didn't want to go into the nitty-gritty of talking about it any further.

This scene is a little embarrassing, she must have sensed that I was sitting in front of her, but her understanding must be that I am deliberately distancing myself and maintaining a certain boundary, but she doesn't know that I just can't answer or even make it up!

While slandering Ji Jiu for not telling me a word about the location of this Sealand capital from last night to today, I secretly reminded myself in my heart that I must find Ji Jiu to tutor the situation of the Sealand capital after I go back, even if it is not like the local people in Sealand, at least it must give people the feeling that they must have a certain understanding of Sealand.

In this way, it is easy to talk about the topic of going to Sealand to find relatives.

Hengcheng is only one of the stops, and there may be people who will ask about it later, don't be negligent, remember to remember!

When the autumn wind passed, I shrank slightly, and the temperature dropped as the night deepened.

Aunt Dong was coming out of the kitchen, still holding two pots of vegetables in her hands, she put down the vegetable pots, and entered the kitchen again without saying a word.

This time, when she came out, there was an extra object in her hand, and it was too far away to see clearly, and when I got to the table, I fixed my eyes and saw that it was a dark purple carved hand stove, which looked a little old, and the edges were rubbed bright.

Aunt Dong handed over the hand stove to me, after all, it was not a snowy day, so why use this!

But I didn't have time to refuse, Gu Dart Master next to me suddenly reached out and grabbed it, her face turned pale in an instant, and the whole person seemed to have lost her soul, holding the small hand stove in her hand, and she didn't say a word.

My eyes moved from her hand to Aunt Dong's face, and suddenly whispered to Aunt Dong: "I passed through Hengcheng along the road, and I have to leave early tomorrow morning, and I met Master Gu, she is refreshing, and she also relieved my brother and me when I first arrived in Hengcheng, so tonight's meal is my practice wine." ”

A bunch of headless words with a cannon sounded out of harmony with the scene in front of them, but both Gu Liu, who was in a daze, and Aunt Dong, who was standing at the table, were stunned.

"The mutton soup is ready, it's ready to be served."

She served the fragrant broth to the table.

"Xiaolin, try the craftsmanship of the eldest lady, it used to be the golden sign of Hengcheng."

A trace of regret flashed in Aunt Dong's eyes, and her eyes looked at Gu Liu with sympathy and sighs, I watched Gu Dart Master sit there silently, and anyone with a clear eye could see her sadness.

"Oh my God, it smells so good." I cooperated hard, took the initiative to stretch out my chopsticks and tasted it, and couldn't help but exaggerate and admire.

"Sit down too." I greeted Aunt Dong, and poured a full glass of wine for Gu Liu, who was sitting opposite, and said with a calm smile, "The autumn night is cold, come and have a drink." ”
