Su Miao looked at him for a while, and did not speak, but held the railing with both hands, looking at the lights of thousands of homes in the distance.

The aftertaste stared at the side of her face, for a moment, staring at her quietly.

Su Miao was unconscious, and remained silent until the wind was blowing in the night, and the air around her became frozen because of this silent atmosphere, she suddenly turned her head, looked at his face, and said with a faint smile:

"Tomorrow's vacation, I heard that the scenery on the stone lake is good, I want to go to the lake."

Her mind jumped too fast, which made the aftertaste slightly stunned, and then nodded, and said softly:

"Okay, I'll rent a boat early tomorrow morning."

"No, I don't need you to go, I'll go by myself." Su Miao said with bent eyebrows.

"You're going to rent a boat yourself?" Aftertaste was stunned, obviously not understanding what she meant.

"No, I mean, I'm going to swim in the lake by myself." She smiled at him.

In other words, this means refusing his company, in other words, she wants to travel alone, and he must stand aside, which is a little unacceptable for a while for the aftertaste of being inseparable from her scales.

They were very close before they were established, even though it was only a close working partnership at that time. Since the two established a relationship, they have almost been together, together during the long working hours every day, and the idle rest time is also together, visiting the morning market, shopping on the street, loading goods, traveling, I can't tell whether she follows him or he follows her, in short, in the past few years, the two of them have been tired of being together all day long, regardless of each other, as if they were one person. Probably, they are not together except for bedtime...... Of course, this is not necessarily the case. After all, the number of times I climbed out of the window and the bed is also countless.

So Su Miao suddenly told him that he wanted to go out by himself, and not with her family, but by himself. didn't mention letting him accompany him, and in an instant, there was a huge gap in the aftertaste of my heart, and I couldn't accept it for a while. Because he was choked, he just looked at her, not knowing how to answer.

"That's it, I'll go out for a walk tomorrow. You just stay at home and remember to watch Chan'er more, she often doesn't come home lately. Although I'm not worried much, but she is a girl's family after all, so I'd better watch it more, otherwise the eldest sister will scold her again. The two of them quarreled and it was very noisy. Su Miao finished with a smile. Looking at the stars in the sky, "It's not early, it's time to go to bed, go back to sleep." With that, he turned around and walked downstairs.

With her hands on her shoulders, she stood on the terrace and quietly stared at her back for a moment before she took a step. Follow her downstairs.

On the second day, the weather was clear, with light clouds and light winds. The scenery is beautiful, and it is a good weather suitable for travel.

Su Miao changed into light clothes, put on a big hat, went out early in the morning, and walked for two quarters of an hour to the shore of Shihu.

There were already many passenger pleasure boats on the shore of Shihu Lake, and Su Miaohua rented a small boat, and a boatman took her to the center of the lake with a boat.

The scenery of Shihu Lake is extraordinarily beautiful, the sparkling lake reflects the reflection of the sun wheel, a wave rushes into the distance, occasionally a slender pleasure boat passes leisurely, swinging on the water surface one after another shining ripples, the cruise ship splashes a little wave and falls on the skirt, splashing a piece wet.

The weeping willows on the shore sway in the wind, green and delicate, demure and colorful. There is a refreshing wind blowing from the surface of the lake, stirring the lotus flowers in the lake, as if in response to the sentence "lotus flowers on all sides and willows on three sides, a city with mountains and half a city lake." ”

Su Miao sat in the canopy, with one hand on her cheek, quietly looking at the endless lake.

The recent situation is a bit bad, not good makes her suddenly have an urge to buy a ticket to go home, of course, this is just to think about it, she naturally can't really go home, not to mention that the game is not over yet, if she retires now, not only will Tong Ran be proud and fried, but at the same time she herself will feel unwilling.

In her last life, she was planted in the competition, even if she became famous in the industry later, but the competition has always been an insurmountable obstacle for her, and this obstacle has now continued to this life, if it is not broken, she will not be carried on the annoying King Chef Competition for both lifetimes, she has not completely forgotten the purpose of her original coming to the King Chef Competition, and wanting to break this annoying obstacle is also one of them.

But how to break this barrier, Su Miao had a headache again. She was always annoyed that she was not in shape, she never thought that she was not in shape, in fact she thought she did her best every time she competed, and she adjusted her mentality to the best state every time, but for some reason, every time the result was not satisfactory. Because every time it was not satisfactory, her self-confidence suffered a serious blow. Failure is not terrible, the terrible thing is that she can't figure out why she failed, since she has no mental disorder, and has done her best, the result should not be like this, but the result did become like this, but she couldn't find the reason from beginning to end, which made her feel anxious, bored, powerless, and felt a little uneasy about her future career.

She knows that in such an inextricable melancholy circle, once you are lost for too long, people are unable to extricate themselves, and the final result is likely to be to retire and completely disappear from this industry. Maybe this is what people call a bottleneck, she has always hated the word "bottleneck", she doesn't understand when people will reach the bottleneck period, let alone why people will reach the bottleneck period, she doesn't even understand what this bottleneck period is, but when a person inexplicably falls into a completely inextricable "deep pit" and wants to climb but can't climb up, this is the bottleneck period...... Where does this stupid claim come from?

She grew more and more annoyed, for the sake of her own powerlessness.

At this moment, the boatman suddenly bent over and came in, and said with a smile: "Girl, it's noon, do you want to eat?" ”

Su Miao was stunned for a moment, poked her head out of the window without a sash, looked at the sun, and was surprised to find that it was already noon.

Retracting her head and smiling at the boatman's face, she thought for a moment. Nodding.

Because Suzhou City is not only a hub for shipping in the south, but also a major tourist attraction in the south, the boatmen by Shihu Lake will also do some business to receive tourists in their spare time when fishing. Since it is to receive tourists to play on the stone lake, these boats are naturally like other pleasure boats, not only the environment is clean, but the boat will also serve lunch and dinner according to the hour, although it is not a good thing, but it is better because the ingredients are fresh, but it is also a kind of fun.

Since it's on board. Naturally, it was river fresh, and two large cormorants were raised on the fishing boat, and the boatman gave an order. Two large cormorants plunged into the lake like arrows, and in a short time they brought up two large carp that were jumping around.

The boatman happily took the big carp out of the cormorant's mouth, removed the gills and scales, removed the internal organs, and cleaned it. Fill the carp's belly with washed and drained glutinous rice. Add half a tablespoon of vegetable oil and mix well, then roughly sew the belly of the fish with a thread to prevent the glutinous rice from flowing out. Then put the sewn carp into the boiling water and boil it for a while, take it out and drip dry water, then put the carp, ginger and rice wine into the casserole, pour four bowls of boiling water, and then simmer it over medium heat for two and a half hours until the carp is cooked. Just put a little salt before removing from the pan.

Su Miao didn't expect that an ordinary fishing boat could make such sweet and delicious food, and the rice grains were soft and glutinous when eating. The fish meat is tender, fresh and sweet, fragrant and delicious. The fish soup, which is seasoned with only a little salt, has a faint hint of sourness, which is not strong, but it is very special. This sour sensation is a surprise and discomfort when it first hits the taste buds, but then it makes people fall in love with it, and this clear and unique taste highlights the sweetness of the glutinous rice and makes the freshness of the fish unique.

Maybe it's because it's just out of the water, and the fish is very tender. The glutinous rice is a little coarse, but because other flavors can make people have an endless aftertaste, this coarse taste makes people subconsciously ignore it.

A stew pot, two carp, a handful of glutinous rice, but mellow and fragrant, in this scorching summer, a cheerful glutinous rice stewed carp, actually made the heart that has been depressed suddenly brightened a lot, teeth and cheeks fragrant, unfinished.

"Big brother, why is there a little sour in this soup?" She asked curiously.

When the boatman asked, he hurriedly replied with a smile: "Don't worry, girl, this fish is all freshly caught and slaughtered, and it is by no means broken." The reason why it is sour is because I add some sour soup to it, and everyone who comes to my ship loves to eat my sour soup. ”

"Sour soup?" Su Miao was stunned.

"It is fermented in the sun with glutinous rice water. My mother is a native of Qianzhou, they love to use sour soup to cook soup in Qianzhou, in the past, my mother made fish soup in the whole stone lake is well-known, I began to rock the boat after I followed my mother to learn, the girl rest assured, the soup sour is by no means bad. What does the girl think of the soup? The boatman asked expectantly.

Su Miao looked at his face that had become swarthy because of the perennial sun exposure, paused, and smiled:

"It's delicious."

The boatman smiled, revealing two rows of particularly white teeth.

Su Miao was stunned, as if her heart had been stabbed, and there was a violent fluctuation.

This smile is very familiar to her, this is the heartfelt joy and happiness of being a chef when he gets the recognition of his skills from diners, although he is a boatman, but cooking him is a chef, since he is a chef, he has such a heart to transform the joy of diners into his own joy.

Su Miao didn't think that she had lost such a heart, but it was true, she suddenly found that she was missing something in her body at this moment, she didn't know what she was missing, but at least she was different from her before, which she could always feel. Because of what she lacked, she seemed to have become incomplete, and she didn't know when such incompleteness would be filled, but for some reason, her heart, which had been restless, suddenly calmed down at this moment.

Su Miao is a person who can't concentrate for long, and most of the day's work is already her limit, so not long after eating glutinous rice and stewed carp, she asked the boatman to support the boat and return to shore.

It took a quarter of an hour to come downstream, and it took two and a half hours to finally reach the shore when I went back, Su Miao got out of the canopy, jumped lightly onto the shore along the pedal, paid the remaining half of the cash to the boatman, and touched the two big cormorants who were eating fish, then waved goodbye, turned around, and boarded the road on the shore of the lake, and my heart was much happier than when I came.

She jumped onto the road on the shore of the lake, and was about to return along the original road, when she turned her head, she was surprised to see a weeping willow not far away, and the aftertaste was still the sky-blue cloth robe, which was still damaged by her when she washed it last time, and there was a small piece of black dyed near the hem of the robe, and the aftertaste was not thrown away.

At this time, Aftertaste leaned on the willow tree with his arms in his hands, and was facing the girl opposite him who was foaming at the mouth with an impatient expression, the girl had an apricot face and peach cheeks, red lips and white teeth, a pomegranate long skirt, and a slender waist, it was Ding Lan who had long said that he was going to move until now.

Although she saw a nasty creature, Su Miao was not unhappy, she set her eyes on Aftertaste, looked at him, the corners of her lips hooked, and smiled.

As if he had a heart, the impatient aftertaste on his face suddenly turned his head to look over, and the slightly frowning eyebrows finally relaxed, and he put aside Ding Lan unceremoniously and walked straight towards Su Miao.

Su Miao bent a pair of beautiful eyebrows, took a step, and walked towards him.

Aftertaste walked up to her, and when he was a step away from her, he observed her expression without a trace, and when he came to her, he naturally asked:

"Lunch?"

"Ate it on board." Su Miao replied with a smile, and asked again, "What about you, when did you come?" ”

"Just now." Aftertaste replied lightly.

"Have you had lunch?"

"If I don't finish cooking lunch for your eldest sister, will your eldest sister let me out?" Aftertaste said with a dark face.

Su Miao smiled, although he said so, but in fact, he loved to cook for the whole family.

"Are you going back?" He looked at her and asked.

Su Miao nodded and replied with a smile: "Well, go back." ”

So Aftertaste took her hand, and the two turned around and walked back.

In such a harmonious atmosphere, there was a discordant Dongdong who suddenly drilled over and destroyed this beautiful and harmonious atmosphere.

"Brother Ah Wei, why don't you ignore Lan'er, Lan'er hasn't finished talking yet!" Ding Lan stood in front of Aftertaste with a pair of red eyes and said aggrievedly.

"You've said enough, get out of the way!" Aftertaste frowned impatiently and said unhappily.

Ding Lan was aggrieved and angry, annoyed and angry, pointed at Su Miao, bit her lip and asked loudly:

"Brother Wei, where is this woman better than me, you actually want to marry her, she is not worthy of you at all!"

After looking at her for a while, he said lightly and meaningfully:

"If I were you, I would look in the mirror before I ask this." took Su Miao's hand and walked away.

Ding Lan was obviously still too tender, and it took a long time to react to the vicious meaning of these words, her eyes were even redder, and she jumped to her feet and shouted loudly:

"Brother Wei, you're too much!"

A pair of black eyes were about to erupt into flames, burning a hole in Su Miao's back.

Behind a willow tree in the northwest corner, a dark shadow that had been lingering for a long time flashed away. (To be continued.) )
