(876) Be a real person
- The order issued by Xiang Dongliu a few days ago was still deeply impressed, so he only mentioned it at this time, and everyone was immediately silent.
Although Ye Dumo is the think tank in the village, the second-in-command in charge of the village, and respected by everyone, he usually treats people very kindly most of the time, so everyone dares to talk in front of him privately.
However, as soon as Xiang Dongliu appeared, the atmosphere was immediately two styles. Whether it is leadership or deterrence, he is indeed the leader of the wall.
Xiang Dongliu is not a person who doesn't know both soft and hard, seeing that everyone in the hall is completely quiet, he gradually loosens his face again, and sucks a sip of the soup in his hand with an extremely loud voice, and then said indistinctly: "The craftsmanship of the night master is still so delicious!" If a few of you want to eat, there is still one in the kitchen pot, but it is impossible for everyone to take care of it, so hurry up if you want to eat. ”
He was obviously talking about eating, but when everyone heard this, they seemed to have received an order, and there was a commotion. The dining room was quickly empty, and a dozen people went out together.
Of course, these individuals are not all for soup, there are two or three people who are very afraid of Boss Xiang, and they have eaten enough, so they want to get out of Boss Xiang's sight and go out to breathe.
Xiang Dongliu put the big bowl with a little soup left on the table, looked at the few half-drunk brothers in the dining room who hadn't left, and said in a loud voice: "You guys go out first, I have something to discuss with the night master and Miss Mo." ”
The eyes of the boss of the village came straight to him, and the cottage brother who suffered this look immediately woke up half of his wine, and he knew that what the boss said was probably not small, so he quickly got up and went out tremblingly. There were also one or two who were more drunk, and they just raised their eyelids at the boss's words, and continued to drink on their own. However, although they did not realize it, they were dragged out by other brothers.
When there were only three people left in the dining room, Xiang Dongliu sat down at the table and continued to drink soup. But he was not seen discussing so-called important matters with the other two.
Seeing this, Mo Ye hesitated slightly, and then sat down at the table. She reached out and lifted the porcelain lid of the bowl of soup from the tray and glanced into the bowl. Then he closed the lid again, and did not touch the spoon on the side of the bowl. Then she turned her face to look at Ye Dumo, and said slowly: "I heard the brothers in the village just now say that you went to look for me before dinner, but you didn't find me?" ”
There was no abnormality in Ye Dumo's eyes, and he said calmly: "I lied to them." ”
This time it was Mo Ye's turn to be slightly stunned, she thought that Ye Dumo would make excuses, and she was a little surprised by the other party's directness.
After taking a deep breath, Mo Ye temporarily suppressed the matter that had plagued him for the afternoon, and just asked calmly, "Why?" ”
I didn't think about it. Night's answer made her stunned again.
"I don't know what Miss Mo wants to ask?" Ye Dumo said with a smile, his eyes still calm as usual.
"Of course, I want to ask you, why did you lie to everyone?" Mo Ye saw that the other party had reached this point directly, so he no longer hid it, and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he said: "You deceived everyone about two things, the first one is insignificant, but the other thing almost harmed the entire village." ”
Having said this, Mo Ye turned his gaze to Xiang Dongliu, the owner of the village who was still drinking soup on the side, and said in a slightly raised voice: "Boss Xiang, don't you know about this matter either?" Is it beforehand. The Night Master never revealed his true intentions to you? Although I am just an outsider, it is not a pity to die, but such a risky thing also took the lives of the entire village brothers, do you really not care at all? I really can't understand what you're thinking about. ”
After taking a deep breath with a heavy breath, Xiang Dongliu raised his head. Calmly said: "Regarding this matter, there is indeed a mistake on my part......"
He was only halfway through his words, when he saw Ye Dumo suddenly interject and said, "This matter is not in a hurry to say it now, and the venue is not right." This is the place to eat, and if you want to discuss something, let's go to the council hall later. Then he turned his eyes to look at Mo Ye and changed the subject: "Miss Mo, you have been returning late, you must have been hungry for a long time, hurry up and eat!" This soup is made of fresh shrimp, and it is easy to get fishy when it is cold, so you have to eat it while it is hot. ”
At this time, Ye Dumo did not have the demeanor of a copycat wise man at all, and if there was a replacement here, Mo Ye was afraid that he would be recognized as a cook in a restaurant.
However, there is one crucial sentence in his words, this dining room is indeed not the place to speak. Before the truth is known, in order to avoid disputes among the brothers who are strong and unscrupulous, we have to stop the matter of attacking the camp the day before yesterday and talk about it in detail in a different place.
But although Mo Ye had already planned this in her heart, when she opened the porcelain lid of the soup bowl again and looked at the bowl of steaming fresh soup, her mood still couldn't help but change.
Because of the difficult escape the day before yesterday, and because of Song De's words to warn her, she suddenly felt that this cottage, which was gradually familiar and adapted, seemed to have become unfamiliar after only one day.
Although she had already picked up the porcelain spoon on the side of the bowl, she did not move.
"What's wrong? Don't like shrimp and mushroom soup? Ye Dumo asked softly beside him.
Mo Ye raised his eyes to look at him, but was silent.
At this moment, Xiang Dongliu, who was sitting at the same table as her, suddenly stretched out his hand, picked up the bowl of soup in front of Mo Ye, poured it into his empty bowl, and said a little casually: "Ah Mo, you are too unkind." Usually the big guys eat together, don't you see? Although Miss Mo is not as cowardly as ordinary women, the amount of food is always not as good as that of the five big and three thick men. ”
When I heard the words at the end of the night, my face suddenly realized, and I nodded again and again and said, "It's me who neglected, I'm sorry." ”
Xiang Dongliu snorted lightly, poured half a bowl of clear soup into his bowl, hesitated for a moment, then took a pair of clean chopsticks from the chopsticks on the table, stirred them into the bowl, scooped up some of the dried ones into his own bowl, and said with sufficient reasons: "Hurry up and divide half of it, lest those guys come back and see it, it's time to gossip about Ah Mo again." ”
"What do you mean by gossiping about me?" Night Mo smiled, "Why don't you take the lead in gossiping about me?" ”
Xiang Dongliu ignored him, but after putting down Mo Ye's soup bowl, he picked up his half bowl of fresh soup again, snorted and ate it.
Mo Ye finally started to drink the soup at this time.
Whether the other party acted unintentionally or performed intentionally, in short, at this point, she can at least be sure. The soup will not be du.
However, when Mo Ye, who had mixed thoughts in her heart, pinched the porcelain spoon and drank the first sip of soup, her thoughts suddenly merged together, because this soup was ...... It's so delicious!
Mo Ye savored the taste of the soup. At the same time, he looked up at Ye Dumo who was standing aside, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. Of course, the color in her eyes at this moment was not as intentional as just now to question the end of the night, but purely out of surprise. She never expected that in addition to being thoughtful about things, Ye Dumo also hid such a good cooking skill.
Ye Dumo seemed to read her eyes, received her admiration, and without waiting for her to speak, he took the first step and said, "How is it?" My craft is comparable to that of a master, right? ”
Mo Ye couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. nodded without hesitation, and said with a smile: "You are as immodest as ever!" ”
"What's the point of being deliberately humble." Ye Dumo also sat down next to the table, and then said: "What's more, in front of Miss Mo, I want to be a real person. You can see it. You don't like people who are too empty, and I don't want you to hate them again. ”
Mo Ye remembered the day before yesterday again, smiled faintly, and said, "It would be better if the night master could be so real two days earlier." ”
Nightshade knew what she meant, but he just smiled at it and didn't answer.
Since Mo Ye had just acquiesced to the construction of the end of the night. When he was not in the dining room, he didn't say anything more, and only lowered his head to drink the soup.
Daiyama is prone to mushroom production, but it also depends on the season. The variety and yield of wild mushrooms are generally more in autumn, and the production of mushrooms in late spring is not much. The non-toxic ones are even rarer. The main ingredient of this fresh soup cooked by Ye Dumo himself is pork foreleg meat, which is much more tender than pork tenderloin. The additional ingredients are shrimp and wild mushrooms, although the amount is not much, but it is very fresh. Remove from heat and sprinkle with a little chopped shallot. The fresh soup adds a bit more vividness.
Although this bowl of soup is not thick, it is satisfying to eat.
After being sure that there would be no things like du or mi medicine in the soup, Mo Ye was not ambiguous, and after eating the taste of the soup, he let go of his appetite. When the bowl bottomed out, she was still a little unsatisfied, looked at the empty bowl of Xiang Dongliu opposite, pouted and said: "I knew that Brother Ye's craftsmanship was so good, I should have taken care of the bowl just now, and now I think about the half bowl of soup that you took away, I really regret it!" ”
Xiang Dongliu grinned, patted his abdomen and said, "I've already gone in, it's too late for you to say anything." ”
Mo Ye ignored him, just turned his eyes to the side door of the dining room leading to the kitchen, and looked back at the skeleton left over from the roast sheep in the center of the long table, imagining the fierce state of the group of strong men eating and gnawing and pulling, so he had to lick his lips a little unwillingly, and muttered: "The cauldron is estimated to have been emptied by all the heroes in the village, sad." ”
When Xiang Dongliu heard this, he looked at Ye Wanmo, who was making tea, squeezed his eyes and said: "Hey, Ah Mo, this time I was wrong, underestimated Miss Mo's appetite......" However, halfway through the words, he seemed to remember something, suddenly stopped, and after a moment of stunned, when he spoke again, his tone changed a little, and said with a hint of doubt: "Did you kid already know that I was wrong, but deliberately endured not to remind?" ”
"You've wronged me by saying this." Ye Dumo hurriedly waved his hand: "To be honest, I haven't deliberately observed Miss Mo's eating habits, it's just that the soup is not as hungry as the rice, so I changed the big bowl, you should know this reason, right?" ”
Xiang Dongliu choked.
Ye Dumo made three cups of tea, divided them among the three people, and then suddenly, as if playing a trick, took out a box from under the table, lifted the lid, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I kept my hand, and there were refreshments after the meal." ”
Inside the food box is a plate of pumpkin crisp, one of Mo Ye's favorite pastries.
At the end of the night, he didn't say anything polite, and immediately took a piece after lifting the lid, took a bite, and said with a smile while chewing slowly and methodically: "Because I don't know when Miss Mo will come back, I prepared another pastry in order to prevent the brothers in the village from snatching up the soup in the pot." I really didn't expect that it was Adong, the boss of the village, who grabbed the food! ”
"Why does it seem that I am the leader of all bad things, don't talk to me so badly, okay?" Xiang Dongliu glared at Ye Dumo, and then also picked up a piece of shortbread, took a big bite, and half of the full moon-shaped pumpkin shortbread was suddenly missing.
Ye didn't answer his words, just looked at Mo Ye, who hadn't started to take the cake yet, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, Li Er made a bet with Xiaoqing to poke the hornet's nest, walked through several caves on the mountain, and stabbed a total of eight large honeycombs. Everyone gathered the honey and roasted the lamb, I kept some and kneaded it into the pumpkin to make shortbread, but I didn't expect it to taste really good. ”
Mo Ye was slightly moved and said, "Honey pumpkin pie, I just mentioned it casually, and you really did it?" ”
"Since you have ready-made materials on hand, why not give it a try?" Night Mo smiled slightly.
Mo Ye finally raised his hand, took a piece of pumpkin shortbread, and took a small bite gently. The pumpkin crisp, which is fried golden and slightly crispy on the outside, but soft and delicate on the inside, is still slightly warm, which is exactly the heat that pumpkin crisp can keep soft and not hot on the tongue. After biting, it is sweet but not greasy, and it is soaked in the unique aroma of honey, which makes people hungry.
"It's still hot, when did you put it in, didn't you big brothers find out?" After eating a shortbread, Mo Ye reached out and took another one.
"There is a whole roasted lamb on the top of the table, and even the middle of the table is hot, which naturally keeps the shortbread hidden underneath warm." Ye Dumo smiled and said, "I originally blew up a big basket, but it was still far from enough to feed those guys." Thanks to my quick eyesight, I hid such a small box. Glad the drunks didn't get drunk and flipped the table, otherwise there would be no way to hide any more. ”
Mo Ye felt amused, and said with a smile: "If I had known that your craftsmanship was so good, and someone told me in advance, saying that you would cook today, then even if I had a big matter, I would have to throw it aside and come back first to taste the deliciousness." ”
This time, without waiting for the night to respond, Xiang Dongliu interjected first: "Miss Mo came late, and she didn't know, if Ah Mo wanted to cook once, how difficult it would be, it was impossible for anyone to know in advance." ”
It was originally a small talk, but it reminded Mo Ye of the incident that was temporarily pressed in his heart. The second piece of sweet and glutinous pumpkin shortbread pinched between her fingers was about to be handed to her mouth, but she moved it away. She looked intently at the end of the night, and said lightly: "No, there is always someone who knows...... Or to be more precise, you should always know what you think in your heart. ”
As soon as Mo Ye's words came out, the atmosphere in the hall that had just eased down suddenly returned to the slightly tense state before she started to drink the soup.
At this time, Ye Dumo didn't say anything about the reprieve anymore, he slowly put away his smile and said calmly: "It seems that the robbery of the camp really made Miss Mo angry, so please ask the girl to move, and we will go to the council hall." If you want to know anything, Ye will tell you all. ”
