Chapter 045: Night Kitchen (Duan Zhen and Shi Bi+)
It took advantage of the night and plunged into a small bamboo forest.
Outside Su Yu's yard, there is a bamboo forest, which is not big, but it happens to include his yard.
Yuan Bao ran forward familiarly, and suddenly bumped into a figure.
The person who came came with a light robe and a slow belt, and his eyebrows were like engravings, but was it its master Su Yu? The ingots rolled to his feet and clung to his trousers and "meowed" twice. The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the wind is loud, and the wind is loud in the quiet bamboo forest.
Su Yu carried a lantern in his hand, and the gentian flower painted on it looked like a real one under the firelight.
He bent down and reached out to pick up the brocade bag hanging from the ingot's neck, then straightened up and rested the lantern in his hand on the bamboo branch beside him. The branches were so weak that as soon as the lantern was hung up, it began to shake, and the light, which was not very bright, began to flicker more and more, illuminating the forest in a flicker of light.
As if afraid, Yuan Bao stuck to his feet and did not move, only quietly licking his hair.
Su Yu, who was standing there and opened the bag and took out the note, looked at it, but Yingguang held up the note and said, "The words are quite ugly." After speaking, he put the note away, hung the brocade bag on his waist, and walked to the other end of the bamboo forest with the lantern, which was not called ingots.
It was only when he had walked three or four steps away that the ingots who were left in place reacted, and chased after him with a grievance in his voice. When it came to it, it didn't dare to scream anymore, as if it was afraid that its master would be unhappy and would leave it behind again.
It followed tightly.
Su Yu walked for a while, and suddenly raised the lantern to shine on it, and the light sprinkled on the top of its head, illuminating its fur more and more oily and slippery.
It didn't move, squinting and grinning.
Su Yu said slowly: "I have prepared fish for you." After a pause, he added, "Three of a kind." ”
Yuan Bao didn't hear the word "fish" a lot, and when he heard this, he immediately jumped up as if he really understood it. Happy to go around in circles.
At this time, Su Yu raised his feet and walked forward, and said, "Two are mine, and one is yours." ”
There was a soft sound in the bamboo forest, and his voice was soft, and he was blown away by the wind for a while. Yuan Bao didn't know it, and ran forward happily next to him as usual, his tail swinging behind him, because he was fat, even his tail was fatter than other cats. It's like a little rat in the back of its ass.
Su Yu glanced down at the sideways, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and he was amused.
He gently kicked it in the ass with the tip of his boot and asked, "Did you steal it?" ”
Yuan Bao didn't know whether he understood or didn't understand, and raised his head and "meowed".
Su Yu chuckled lowly, didn't speak again, and led it out of the bamboo forest. Outside the bamboo forest is a small courtyard, but there are only a few rooms, compared to where the rest of the people in the Dingguo Mansion live. It's really small. Originally, there were no houses in this place, but a bamboo forest. Bamboo is a good bamboo, born straight and straight, green and towering. In the spring. Out of the bamboo shoots, the taste is not bad, not like the next place, such bamboo shoots. There is always a strong astringency.
Su Yu, who returned from Chongyang Valley, liked this bamboo forest very much.
He is the eldest in the family, and he has been raised by his parents since he was a child, and he does not have his own yard.
When it's a little older. He has been in Chongyang Valley for several years, and he only comes back to live for a while every year during the Chinese New Year, so he would rather live around. Because he usually doesn't have much time to meet his father and brothers, when he comes back occasionally, his brothers and he are always tired of being together, and they can't wait to eat, drink, and sleep together.
He is not good at dealing with people, and he is quiet on weekdays, but several brothers are very close to him.
So in the early years, when he returned to Beijing from the valley for the New Year, he would live with several elder brothers, and each of them would stay there for a few days, and then he could set off.
Until the master passed away, he no longer had to go back to Chongyang Valley, so he stayed in the mansion in the capital.
The Dingguo Mansion is not as luxurious as the Lian family, and the house is not as big as the Lian family, but there will never be a lack of such a place to live. But he had been in the deserted place of Chongyang Valley for a long time, and he was not used to living in a nearby place, nor was he used to having someone waiting on the side.
It was he who asked people to open up a place in this small bamboo forest and build a small courtyard.
The maidservant girl sent by his mother to serve him was driven out by him before he could get out of the bamboo forest.
A group of clumsy people can't help but blame, but if he is a little heavier, he will kowtow and make amends one by one, so it's better not to.
After tossing twice, Mrs. Su completely extinguished the idea of sending someone to take care of his daily life, and went with him.
Therefore, now in this small courtyard, there is not even half a maid, only a silent old woman guarding the door, and a little maid Sanqi beside him.
Tonight, Sanqi was also sent out by him to run errands, so the small courtyard was empty and silent. When Yuan Bao ran to the door, the old woman guarding the door glanced at it, opened the door, and then bowed to Su Yu and said, "Fifth master." ”
When Su Yu heard this, his steps paused slightly.
His father is gone, and he has changed from the fifth young master to the fifth master.
But three or four years have passed, and every time he hears others call himself like this, he still can't help but be stunned.
He bowed his head, answered with a low "um", and followed the ingots inside.
Yuan Bao went to the kitchen with a light car, and the door of the kitchen was half hidden, and it hit it head-on, hitting it three steps back, baring its teeth and screaming, and turned its head to look at Su Yu pitifully. Su Yu sneered and said, "Tell you to run blind!" He reached out and pushed the kitchen door open.
It's not lit yet, it's dark.
Yuanbao's slitted eyes finally became more conspicuous at this moment, glowing with a green glimmer in the darkness.
It swaggered down under the table, sat down, lay down, wagged its tail and waited.
Su Yu went to light the lamp, and the kitchen suddenly lit up. Because the yard is not big, this kitchen is naturally even bigger, but although the sparrows are small, there are piles of vegetables neatly stacked in the corner, and there are all kinds of spatulas and pans.
He put away the fire, stood in front of the water tank, rolled up his sleeves, scooped up a ladle of water and washed his hands, and then went to the small wooden barrel on the other side, and grabbed a fish from it.
Yuan Bao licked his paw and watched quietly.
Su Yu killed the fish with his hands and feet, washed it, and put it on the cutting board.
A few cold lights flashed, and the fresh fish on the board was sliced into a stack of crystal fish tart, thin and transparent, and the flesh was pink and tender. Each piece is neat and beautiful.
When the kitchen knife fell into his hand, it seemed to be an unusual thing.
He bent down to take a plate and sent it to the ingots, then went to wash his hands again, and then began to light the fire and heat the oil pot.
A duck soup soup with ginger cream to remove the smell and freshness. There is a ginger smell, but there is no ginger.
The eldest brother can even swallow the rancid steamed buns, but he doesn't eat ginger, so he makes ginger cream. After the ginger is washed and ground, it is filtered through a silk sieve and then dried into a cream. You can't see the ginger shape.
This is the eldest brother's favorite dish.
As for the second brother, the taste is light, and he likes a dish of mixed winter cabbage sum. After drying the tender cabbage heart for a day or two, blanch it with water, or marinate it slightly with fine salt for a while, and then add autumn oil and sweet and sour and mix well.
He remembered that in previous years, if there was this dish on the dinner table, the second brother would be able to eat three bowls of rice in one go.
His father always laughed and said that the third brother was not blessed. Where does the strength to eat vegetables come from, men always have to eat meat and drink wine in large bowls.
But his father's favorite dish is simmered bamboo shoots with ham, which is served with dried winter bamboo shoots and ham meat. Simmer in the chicken broth until the soup turns white. His father said that men want to eat meat, but every time this dish is served, he always picks bamboo shoots to eat first.
As for the dim sum. Just make a bean paste roll.
The big men of the Su family, marching and fighting, were born in the army. But it's all delicious and sweet.
Today is his second brother's birthday.
When people are alive, they always have to eat and drink well and live happily on their birthdays. But once a person dies, he can only live the death day.
When the second brother died, he was only eighteen years old.
He didn't have a wife, he didn't have a family, he didn't have children.
But the second brother has a girl he likes, he knows. When they met for the last time, the second brother told him that when he came back from Yanmen, he would go to the girl's house to propose his relatives.
But the second brother never came back.
The eldest brother left earlier, and the sister-in-law waited for him at home with her body in her arms, but what she was waiting for was an obituary. She didn't cry, but she was afraid that she would already be in tears, and as soon as the fetal gas moved, her little nephew landed two months ahead of schedule, and she was thin and small, and she began to take medicine as soon as she got out of the womb.
He is now four years old, and he would have called his father a long time ago, but he had never seen his father.
Sometimes, he would raise his head and ask Su Yu, Fifth Uncle, Fifth Uncle, where did my father go to fight, was it very far, and when would he come back?
Su Yu listened, but couldn't answer a word.
The little nephew has no father, and he has no father.
The first year he went to Chongyang Valley, he didn't say anything, he hated his father to death in his heart. He felt that his father didn't want him anymore, why could his four brothers stay at home, and he would be thrown into the barren mountains and mountains?
He was angry with his dad for a whole year.
When the year ended, his father came to pick him up in the valley, and he ignored people with a straight face, pretending not to recognize.
His father laughed, and as soon as he stretched out his big hand, he hugged him horizontally and put him on his shoulder, saying, "The little thing is against the sky, and you dare to ignore people!" ”
He was afraid of heights, so he hugged his father's neck and didn't dare to move, leaning crookedly and shouting, "Let me go!" ”
"Don't let it go!" His father was even happier when he heard it, and held him there as a ball, so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything for a long time.
One year, it snowed so much that it was so white that it almost buried the capital underneath.
His father led their brothers to build a snowman, and they made an ugly monster and said that it was him, he didn't cry or make trouble, and silently built a snowman, which was even uglier, and said that it was his father. His father laughed so hard that the snow on the branches shook off.
The loud laughter is still in my ears, as clear as yesterday.
But the snowman will melt, and the man will die.
His dad would never smile again.
The fire was extinguished in the stove, Su Yu washed his hands and sat down at the table.
A small square table, four seats, four pairs of chopsticks, four bowls.
He poured a glass of wine, which was a burning knife, very strong, impure, and very rough. But his father said that this is the wine that the gentlemen drink.
“…… Dad, eldest brother, second brother. The night breeze was slightly cool, Su Yu raised his glass and took a sip, and whispered to the void, "Drink." (To be continued......)
