Chapter 29: Eating and Drinking
Bai Mingqiu rarely entertains guests in his hut, although this house can no longer be called a hut after the old man of Shanlan Temple sent someone to renovate it once, but Bai Mingqiu still only regards this house as a place to sleep and put things, eating and reading books and other things are all outside the house, Bai Mingqiu's concept of home in Gensokyo is to include the area outside the house, not just this room.
Lin Zhisuke walked around this place, and it happened that Bai Mingqiu also prepared all the dishes, brought them to the table, called Fengyue, and the three of them prepared a meal together.
There are six or seven dishes on the table, and if you add cold dishes, there must be ten, and ten dishes for three people are indeed a little more, but this is not a human feast, and Mori Jinrinnosuke is a half-demon, and the amount of food is not small.
Bai Mingqiu said softly: "Fengyue, you eat first, the chicken soup is in the kitchen, if you want to eat it, scoop a little by yourself, if you are full, if you don't want to listen to the two of us, just go and play, don't go far." ā
Fengyue nodded obediently and picked up the dish in small bites.
Seeing this, Mori Jinnosuke moved his index finger, and he raised his chopsticks and wanted to take a bite, but was stopped by Bai Mingqiu, who smiled and said, "Linnosuke, don't worry." ā
"Huh?" Rinnosuke wondered, "Do you want to...?" ā
"Drink, drink." Bai Mingqiu took out a bottle of wine from the wine box, "How about we drink this first?" ā
The bottle of wine that Bai Mingqiu took out was called [Bo Li], and these two Chinese characters were still written on the bottle.
"I knew you were going to drink." Rinnosuke put down his chopsticks, "Okay, let's drink this." ā
"Do you know where this bottle came from?" Speaking of this, Rinnosuke sighed with some emotion, "Reimu gave it to me when she was five years old, saying that it was dug up from the cellar of the shrine. Since it came from the shrine, I wrote the word "Hakurei" on it, and it has been more than ten years now, and with the days that this wine has been in the cellar, it is at least twenty years old. ā
"I know, I know, this wine is amazing." Bai Mingqiu opened the wine bottle with a smile and filled a glass to Mori Jinrinnosuke and himself. The two raised their glasses, clinked glasses, and drank them all in one gulp.
"Well, a line is hot and spicy, it's really comfortable, good wine, good wine." Bai Mingqiu praised.
Rin Nosuke was quite complacent, poured himself another glass, took a sip, and said, "Now you can start." ā
Bai Mingqiu picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile: "Eat." ā
Rinnosuke picked up a piece of braised pork, and when he entered it, it was smooth and delicate, but there was no greasy feeling, and he praised it as delicious. I sandwiched a chopsticks of green vegetables, which was sweet and refreshing, and I praised it again. I sandwiched a pair of chopsticks and green peppers and fried mushroom slices, and the expression on my face was very happy.
Bai Mingqiu smiled and didn't speak. Fengyuexin said Lin Zhisuke, what kind of fuss are you making of, how should I eat here every day according to your way of eating?
Bai Mingqiu was not in a hurry to eat vegetables, and drank the peanuts brought by Mori Jinlin, which was comfortable and comfortable.
Although Rinnosuke was in a hurry, he was not rude in his appearance, but he quickly ate three dishes and stretched out his hand and said, "Help me add some more food." āć
Bai Mingqiu took the bowl and handed it to Lin Zhisuke, then went to the kitchen and brought out two bowls, put them in front of Fengyue and Lin Zhisuke, and said with a smile: "You don't have to serve it, the chicken still has to be boiled for a while, I'll bring the chicken soup first." ā
"Thank you, Xiaoqiu." Feng Yue just finished eating, so she picked up the bowl and took a sip, "It's so fragrant." ā
"Drink slowly, be careful of burning."
Bai Mingqiu looked at Fengyue's satisfied appearance after drinking chicken soup and wiping her small mouth, and she was very happy.
Fengyue said softly: "Xiaoqiu, Fengyue is full. As he spoke, he bowed slightly to Linnosuke and said, "Uncle Linnosuke, you eat well." So he took his dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen.
"This kid is so polite." Although there was some objection to being called uncle, Rinnosuke still praised Fengyue.
Bai Mingqiu smiled: "Yes, Fengyue is quite sensible, not as noisy as ordinary seven or eight-year-old children at all." ā
"It's not easy for you, one to raise two." Rinnosuke sighed, "When I was a child, Marisa was much more skinny than Kazetsuki, and at that time I felt that it was really hard to raise two. ā
"Seeing the happy smiles of the children, I always feel that some of the fatigue has been eliminated." Bai Mingqiu said with a smile, "It's a pity that I didn't have a child back then, otherwise I can experience the feeling of being a father, although I will definitely be more tired, but I must feel better than now." ā
Bai Mingqiu was a little distracted, drank a glass of wine, poured a glass, and drank another glass.
Coming back to his senses, Bai Mingqiu looked at the four or five plates that were already empty on the table, and said with a smile: "Lin Zhizhu, you ran very fast, leave me a bite too!" ā
The two began to launch a general attack on the remaining meals on the table, and in just ten minutes, all ten dishes were swept away, and Rinnosuke unconsciously stroked his stomach and laughed: "Not bad, it's really comfortable." ā
"There's some chicken soup too, I'll bring it to you." Bai Mingqiu put away the plates on the table into a stack, went into the kitchen and brought a large crockpot out and put it on the table, and when he opened the lid, the fragrance overflowed.
Rinnosuke sniffed intoxicated, picked up a spoon and quickly scooped a bowl for himself, and then sandwiched a few pieces of chicken and savored it.
"You foodie." Bai Mingqiu scolded, and then drank wine.
"What does the drunkard say I do?" Rin Nosuke also laughed and scolded, still drinking his chicken soup.
"I'm going to go around Gensokyo lately, how about it, are you interested in traveling with you?" Bai Mingqiu invited, "Just with you, a native, I won't run the wrong way." ā
"Forget it, I'm not going." Rin Nosuke tore at a piece of chicken and said vaguely, "Hmm, I still have a lot of research, hmm, I haven't done any research, and I have to look at Marisa, hmm, Marisa, hmm, how can I have time to run outside." ā
Finally, with a hard pull, this piece of chicken was finally gnawed clean, and the bone was spit out, and Rinnosuke asked, "Gensokyo is not a safe place, although you have a little strength, it's better not to act rashly." ā
Bai Mingqiu said with a smile: "I found that I have already obtained Huiyin's treasure, plus the Yakong Talisman I asked for from Lingmeng, it shouldn't be a big problem." ā
"Yakong Acupoint..."Lin Nosuke thought for a while and said, "If there is a Yakong Acupoint, then there is really no problem, this ability is unique in Gensokyo, even if you encounter any youkai who have the ability to chase you, you will retreat when you see Yakong Acupoint, and no youkai will dare to provoke Hakurei Shrine Maiden." In addition, if Mr. Kami-Shirasawa also helped you, you will be fine. ā
Linnosuke is a typical cold face and hot heart, usually talking to him, door-to-door purchases, he always has a cold tone, and even ignores you directly if there is a slight mistake, but in fact he is quite warm-hearted.
"Gensokyo is not a small place, if you are safe, there are a lot of interesting places, I remember that you are familiar with the ghost king, right, then you can go to the monster mountain to see, that is her land. It's not spring, otherwise you can go to the underworld to see cherry blossoms, sun flower fields, hmm... That place is still not built yƬ you go, it's a little more dangerous. ā
Bai Mingqiu wrote them down one by one, toasted with Lin Zhisuke, and listened to him talk about the anecdotes of Gensokyo.
The sound of the shutter clicking kept sounding on a tree in the distance, and after a burst of continuous shooting, Shotimaru put away the camera, opened the text post, and wrote "A new way for humans to live in Gensokyo!" (Long-term follow-up report)] these words.
