"Master Qin," Chen Xiucai was thinking about how to lure the two sons out, but he couldn't speak, Master Qin had already taken aim at the exquisite food box in Gu Siyuan's hand, and said with a smile: "It must be Qingfeng Zhuang who sent food." ”

Gu Siyuan hurriedly said: "It's crab soup." ”

I saw Master Qin throw the pen and ink in his hand, sit on the stone chair next to the stone table, and say, "Take it." ”

Gu Siyuan opened the food box, Chen Xiucai personally took out the crab soup and put it in front of Master Qin, Master Qin took a bite, swept away the waves just now and said in surprise like a child: "Lao Miao's cooking skills are getting better and better." ”

Huang Saburo personally poured the wine, which was made of golden osmanthus flowers. Crabs are cold, and the shopkeeper Han specially took out the osmanthus stuff that has been treasured for many years, and after eating the crabs, drinking osmanthus stuff can get rid of the cold in the body.

Master Qin didn't seem to see Gu Huang's two sons, took the wine bottle and tasted a sip of wine, his mouth was full of splendor, and he spit out the poem of Bi Zhuo, a famous scholar in the Eastern Jin Dynasty: "You have to fill hundreds of boats with wine, and put two ends at four o'clock, holding a wine glass in your right hand and a crab claw in your left hand, and patting the floating wine boat is enough for a lifetime." ”

Gu Siyuan and Huang Sanlang glanced at each other, and when they saw Master Qin like this, it should be no problem to tell him about the things in Jingshi.

After Master Qin finished eating, he ordered the old servant Jia Dashan to clean up, and picked up the pen to write again.

Chen Xiucai shook his head at Huang Gongzi and Gu Siyuan.

"Master Qin." Huang Sanlang took a step forward and shouted.

Master Qin raised his head and glanced at Huang Sanlang, waved his hand and said, "The old man has already said what he should say more than ten years ago, please go back." ”

Huang Sanlang's eyes flashed with a calm light, as if he had already expected Master Qin to say this, and still looked at Gu Siyuan without giving up, intending to let Gu Siyuan open his mouth to persuade him.

"Master Qin, my father has been thinking about you very much for more than ten years, if it weren't for the busy family affairs, my father would definitely come to visit you in person. Saburo's father misses you the same way, and every time he thinks of you, he goes to Chunhui Hall, which is where you taught your knowledge back then. ”

Master Qin closed his eyes and remained indifferent. An old plum tree behind it looked more and more vigorous in the autumn sun, and Master Qin's back was already slightly rickety, and his beard was half white. Lao Mei is lined with the old man, giving people an indescribable sense of vicissitudes.

"I'm tired, this group of people is noisy and tight. Lao Jia, send off. Master Qin didn't leave any affection at all, and issued an eviction order.

The old servant Jia Dashan gestured towards Gu Siyuan and Huang Sanlang, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation.

Chen Xuejiao and Chen Qi'an were waiting at the door, and when they saw Jia Dashan leading Chen Xiucai and the two sons out, Gu Siyuan and Huang Sanlang's eyes were full of disappointment.

"Young Master of the Han family, Master Qin likes the crab soup you sent very much, Lao Miao's craftsmanship is getting more and more sophisticated, and the shopkeeper of Lao Han is bothered. Master Qin said that he would go to Qingfeng Village another day to thank him personally. Jia Dashan bent down towards Han Zijian and handed him the empty food box.

"Master Qin likes it, how dare Master Qin go to Qingfeng Village in person. If Master Qin really likes it, why don't you write a sub-word to my father, my father has been longing for Master Qin's ink treasure for a long time. Han Zijian looked into the hidden door and whispered.

"Come back, a few of them." Jia Dashan shook his head again, turned around and entered the courtyard.

Chen Xuejiao thought to herself that this Master Qin didn't know what the origin was, hidden in this beautiful mountain village, she really wanted to find out.

She had a vague premonition in her heart that her fate would change in the future. Whether it is getting acquainted with Gu Siyuan Huang Sanlang or the mysterious Master Qin, they all bring waves to ordinary rural life. Whether it's good or bad, she doesn't want to die in a daze like the deity of this body, she wants to live better and better in this world.

Gu Siyuan saw Chen Xuejiao's expression immersed in his thoughts, with melancholy and anticipation, a pair of eyes flashed with a light that did not match his age, and his heart suddenly moved.

"Master Qin still refuses to meet us." Huang Sanlang said wistfully when he saw the closed firewood.

Chen Xiucai smiled apologetically.

"There's always a way." Chen Xuejiao pulled back her thoughts and said with confidence, "The tree is dead, the person is alive, and the sincerity is open, there will definitely be a way." ”

Everyone looked at Chen Xuejiao together and wanted to hear her opinion, Chen Xuejiao smiled and said: "There is no good way now, it doesn't mean that there will be no in the future, maybe I'll think of it tomorrow." ”

Gu Siyuan and Huang Sanlang agreed with Chen Xuejiao's idea, they came to bear a heavy responsibility this time, they must meet Master Qin, one request to see is not achieved twice, two requests to see but not three times, they must see each other after all.

"I'm sorry to trouble Master Chen, San Lang and I are determined to see Master Qin, we will live here for a while, and there will be a place to disturb Master Chen in the future." Gu Siyuan bent over Chen Zimin and Chen Xiucai and said.

"It's okay, it's just that the family is simple, I'm afraid I have wronged the two sons." Chen Xiucai vaguely guessed that the two were noble, lest they be inconsiderately entertained.

"Master, I think so, since Gu Gongzi and Huang Gongzi are going to live for a while, it is better to go to Qingfeng Village to live." Han Zijian said enthusiastically.

Chen Xiucai thought about it for a while, and Gu Siyuan and Huang Sanlang had already agreed.

Everyone accompanied the two sons to Chen's house to pick up their luggage. Li couldn't keep it, and secretly wondered if he was not entertaining.

Mrs. Chen pursed her mouth and scolded the Li family sharply: "What kind of thing, there are no less than two people in the temple at home." Pingbai ate two meals at home and stayed overnight, and the loss was great. You keep people, you take what you keep people, and you eat and drink. ”

Li was silent. Huang Sanlang took two taels of silver and said, "Mrs. Chen, there is a lot of trouble, and the little nephew is very grateful." These two taels of silver are considered food money. After a pause, he handed the silver to Xue Jiao: "Give the silver to Xue Jiao, since they are all a family, it is the same for everyone." ”

When Mrs. Chen saw that Huang Sanlang had taken two taels of silver, she didn't have time to be happy, she was already picked up by Chen Xuejiao, and she fell down angrily.

Chen Xuejiao happily took the silver. Li Shi hurriedly said: "I can't help it, Gu Gongzi has already given it in the morning." ”

"What I gave is mine, what San Lang gave is San Lang's, don't shirk it, master." Gu Siyuan said with a smile.

Chen Xuemiao was wearing a pink skirt embroidered with peony flowers, carefully depicting her eyebrows and eyes, standing beside Mrs. Chen and looking at Gu Siyuan and Huang Sanlang shyly. Seeing Huang Sanlang giving Chen Xuejiao silver, he glared at Chen Xuejiao fiercely.

Zhao walked over, bowed his head with a smile and whispered a few words in Mrs. Chen's ear, Mrs. Chen's old face turned into a dahlia, and then she raised her head and instructed happily: "Everyone is busy cleaning the yard and tidying up the house, the eldest grandson Qi Lin Ming'er is coming back." Oops, I miss my old woman, my eldest grandson is coming. Qi An's mother, you look at a few dishes, hurry up, you have to prepare it today, don't delay my eldest grandson's food. Xuewa, her mother, you go to your mother's house to get a bottle of sesame oil, and by the way, cut a few catties of meat, Xuejiao has silver in her hand. ”

"Mother, if you love your eldest grandson, you don't love your youngest grandson? I have a baby in my belly, let the second brother cut the meat. The third daughter-in-law, Cai, was shrewd and clear, holding her belly that was not yet pregnant, and said with a smile.

For a while, people in the courtyard turned over on their backs, but Chen Xuejiao slipped out with Gu Siyuan and his party tightly holding the silver.

When they arrived at Qingfeng Village, the shopkeeper Han personally greeted him and arranged accommodation for Gu Siyuan and Huang Sanlang. The shopkeeper Han asked about the life experience of the two, Gu Siyuan insisted that his family was in the medicinal materials business, and he came to Bochuan to buy medicinal materials in the autumn.

Lao Miao, the chef of Qingfeng Village, the life of the Han shopkeeper, made a table of steamed crab feast. The good fat crabs on the two baskets were caught by Chen Xuejiao and her younger brother Chen Qiping in Xiaohuai River, and the shopkeeper Han kept the shopkeeper in the back kitchen. In Xuzhou Mansion, ordinary people don't eat crabs, only large families eat them in autumn, so Chen Xuejiao is the first time to eat crabs after crossing.

Gu Siyuan and Huang Saburo regard crabs as ordinary things, and one of the most famous snacks in Gufu is crab roe buns, and the entire big family in Beijing hopes to get the recipe for Gufu crab roe buns. A crab banquet is held in the palace every autumn, and the princes and ministers are invited to the banquet, and Gu Siyuan and Huang Sanlang appear at the crab banquet every year.

However, the two sons still made jokes. In the past, the crab was eaten by the maid's attendant who waited for the person to peel the crab and extract the crab paste and crab roe and crab meat, but today it is a whole crab in front of them, which makes the two of them unable to start.

Chen Xuejiao often ate crabs in her previous life, especially steamed hairy crabs, if it weren't for her grandmother saying that the cold prevented her from eating more, she could eat seven or eight in one go. For her, one of the great pleasures of eating crabs is to eat the crab meat, and the peeled crab shell can still be pieced together into a whole crab. Chen Xuejiao squinted her eyes and looked at Gu Siyuan, proudly opened the crab and skillfully ate the paste and meat, after eating a crab, she really used the residual shell to piece together a whole crab, and those who didn't know thought that the crab had not moved, so everyone was amazed.

"Xue Jiao, who did you learn from to eat crab kung fu?" Brother Chen Qi'an couldn't help but ask.

"Self-taught." Chen Xuejiao responded vaguely, she couldn't say that she was a standard foodie in her previous life, in order to bet with her ex-boyfriend, she worked hard to eat crabs until she vomited before she cultivated this ability.

Chef Lao Miao came from the back kitchen to see the excitement. Chef Lao Miao also has a trick up his sleeve for eating crabs, in his mind, except for him and Master Qin, everyone else eats crabs. Now that I have seen Xuejiao's kung fu of eating crabs, I can't wait to be a bosom friend. Do you think it's boring? No, as a chef who can't read a few words, the happiest thing in his life is that he meets someone who can eat.

"Chen girl, good kung fu, apart from me and Master Qin, you are the second person who can piece together the remnants of the shell into a whole crab after eating the crab." Master Miao waved a big spoon and said excitedly.

"Thank you, Master Miao, for the compliment." Chen Xuejiao was secretly proud. An idea suddenly popped up in her mind, since that weird Master Qin would also eat crabs like this, wouldn't it be nice if she had the opportunity to fight him herself.

Here Chen Zimin Xiucai is still wondering, in his memory, Chen Xuejiao has never eaten crabs, why is he so skilled at eating crabs for the first time. Chen Xuejiao looked at Gu Siyuan and Huang Sanlang, and picked up the crab to demonstrate how to remove the shell and debon, and her face was full of moving brilliance with a smile.

The shopkeeper Han smiled from ear to ear, and ordered the shopkeeper to pour you good rice wine to get rid of the cold in your body.

Because Gu Siyuan and Huang Sanlang grew up in Beijing, Han's shopkeeper couldn't help but ask the two about the customs of Beijing. Huang Saburo changed his silence during the day, and talked about the scenery of Jingshi and the folk wonders he saw along the way. Huang Sanlang, who has a cold face, talks loudly and has the demeanor of a celebrity.

For a while, the guests and hosts were happy.
