Chapter 40: The Feast (3)

Dishes were served one by one, and exclamations followed.

No one thought that Siyu's cooking skills would be so good, what Shen Canglang didn't expect was that Chen's mother's taste seemed to be very high.

At this time, a sea bass was served, and this sea bass Siyu made it extremely delicious, to the greatest extent, to maintain the umami of the sea bass.

The four painters and Steward Wang all praised each other, and they grabbed a chopstick at random, thinking that the essence of the whole fish was the fish lip.

But what he never expected was that Chen's mother actually stretched out the chopsticks to the fish's mouth, so she had to put down the chopsticks first.

In this way, Chen's mother was embarrassed: "I really didn't expect that you, like me, also love to eat fish lips!"

"Auntie, please first!" When Cheng's mother heard this, she was no longer polite, and only gently picked it with chopsticks, and when she tore it, the fish lips were completely torn off and put in her bowl.

This scene shocked Shen Canglang, even if it was himself, he might not use chopsticks to such an extreme.

You must know not to underestimate this pick, tearing it is extremely skillful and very skillful.

The angle of the chopsticks is accurate, the strength is in place, and if any link goes wrong, I am afraid that the fish lip will be torn to pieces, but it is not beautiful.

Shen Canglang was extremely curious, thinking to himself, how much spare money can a country woman have to buy fish to eat.

But he practiced his chopsticks so well and accurately, and how many fish he ate here, which really made him wonder what kind of person Chen's mother was.

He turned his head and looked around, only to see that when the neighbors at other tables ate fish, they only valued the flesh of the fish.

They all got off their chopsticks to the fattest place of the fish, picked the most fish to eat, and ate the fish into two sides, and no one would touch the dry fish head.

Not to mention, go eat that fish lip.

In fact, the fish lips are eaten in the mouth, but there is a thick gelatinous taste, which is very crispy.

Compared to the meaty place on the body of the fish, the fish lips are too difficult to attract the attention of the villagers.

It was only at this time that Shen Canglang slowly observed that Chen's mother was indeed different, and every time Siyu served a dish, she rarely put down chopsticks.

The place where she wants to put the chopsticks is just those bamboo shoots, lotus roots, pig ears, and duck feet, which are actually the places that can best reflect the true taste of the ingredients.

He felt more and more that Siyu's mother was definitely not the same kind of person as those neighbors on Long Street.

He was very curious and wanted to talk to Chen's mother, and after thinking about it, he found an excuse.

"I didn't expect my aunt and mine. The preferences are the same. ”

When Mother Chen heard him say this, she smiled slightly and said, "Do you mean fish lips?"

"No, no, no. I think you are very different from your neighbors! ”

Shen Canglang just said the most direct feeling in his heart, but he was surprised to find that a look of vigilance flashed in Chen's mother's eyes.

It's just that this look is fleeting, and when I look up again, I see that she is no different from usual.

It's as if that look of alertness just now has never existed.

But he saw it clearly.

Mother Chen replied lightly: "You are wrong, people like me and them have spent their whole lives here on this long street from birth to old age!"

"It is a wrong choice to be able to keep a place and live for a long time."

"Shen Ergongzi said this, he laughed too much, I don't hide it, and I'm not afraid of your jokes, I've been to Changshan the farthest, the world outside Changshan, I don't know anything, do you think I'm very sad?"

Shen Canglang heard Chen's mother say this, and was not sure how to answer, when suddenly, someone behind him slapped him heavily on the back.

He looked back and saw that it was none other than the son of the king's grandmother, Wang Da Niu.

The other party was already drunk, and his round fat face was flushed.

The whole person is like a moving mountain of meat, which is enough to divide Shen Canglang into two people.

Grandma Wang on the side just wanted to hold his son, but compared to her son's fat body, she seemed to be as weak as a straw.

Where can she pull it!

"Mother, don't worry about me, I want to fight with Shen Ergongzi for a drink!"

Shen Canglang saw that he was already dizzy from drinking, and he couldn't stand steadily, so he hurriedly comforted him and said, "This little brother, I will come again in the future, you have drunk enough today, shall we drink again another day?"

"Not good!"

Shen Canglang was suddenly picked up by him with one hand, and carried it to the middle of the courtyard like a chicken.

At this time, Siyu was afraid that something would happen, so he hurriedly came out to stop him, but he was pushed aside by the king and fell to the ground.

Siyu's weak body fell to the ground and let out a coquettish cry, which made Shen Canglang furious.

He turned his face and said to him, "If you want to fight, let's fight, don't beat people."

"What's wrong with hitting you!"

That Wang Da Niu raised a high stool and was about to smash it down at Shen Canglang.

Fortunately, Grandma Wang struggled to push her son aside, and Steward Wang also pounced on Shen Ergongzi, and the stool smashed directly on Steward Wang's body, making a muffled snort.

This became hasty, and it also made the fat man Wang Da Niu wake up more than half of the wine, and Grandma Wang grabbed him and slapped him.

"Look at your unproductive appearance, people have climbed the high branches, what does it matter to you."

After Grandma Wang said this, she pulled up Wang Daniu, who was in shock, turned around and left, Mother Chen was on the side, and she didn't stop shouting.

Siyu wanted to stop him, but he was also pushed aside by Grandma Wang.

With such a small episode, and the food was almost eaten, the neighbors began to slowly disperse and bid farewell to Chen's mother.

Siyu was very concerned about the injury of the king steward, but fortunately, when Wang Da Niu smashed down a stool, he was pulled aside by everyone.

Ninety percent of the strength has been dissipated, and it smashed on the body of the king's steward.

Even so, Steward Wang's back was covered with a large black blue, and everyone gasped.

Lang Zhong, who was invited later, took a closer look at the injuries and said that it was not in the way, but there were some skin injuries and nothing to do with the bones, which made Shen Canglang feel relieved.

Siyu was very sad on the side, she didn't know why Grandma Wang's son, Wang Da Niu, was so angry.

I don't understand it when I think about it.

She was worried about the injury of the king's steward, but fortunately, Lang Zhong said that it was fine, so she was relieved.

But the whole night this banquet was eaten from noon to evening, and Siyu was also busy in the kitchen all afternoon.

Until now, after eating a bite of rice, I saw that there were cups and plates outside, and there was not much left, so I had to take out a steamed bun from the cage drawer and eat it little by little.

When he learned that Wang was in charge and that there was not much injury, Shen Canglang's alcohol strength began to rise.

He felt that his whole head was dizzy, and he couldn't support it anymore, and he wanted to chat with Siyu.

But seeing the beautiful woman here, I was dizzy, I couldn't support it, my head was heavy, and I always wanted to sleep.

Steward Wang was also a little injured, the whole person was not in good spirits, and he needed to recuperate, and the four painters were already dizzy from drinking, where could they still manage him Shen Ergongzi.

Chen's mother had no choice but to negotiate with the neighbors to let them pick up the four painters who were as drunk as dead pigs and the king as a steward.

At this time, Shen Canglang didn't leave, and the whole person slept heavily in Siyu's boudoir.

Everyone really couldn't resist him, and he did have the heart to marry Siyu, so he had to leave him in her boudoir.

And Siyu slept in the same room with her mother.

It was late at night, and Siyu tossed and turned.

She was still thinking about the things of the day, and he thought of Wang Daniu, that day, for his own sake, he was beaten by those villains in Leshantang and vomited blood.

The whole person still blocked the wooden door, just not letting them in, and letting them punch and kick.

When I saw him today, I seemed to feel so sorry for myself, and I was already ashamed in my heart.

Although he didn't do anything, why did he feel sorry for him?

Just as she was thinking nonsense, a voice sounded softly: "Siyu, haven't you slept yet?"

It turned out that my mother didn't sleep either.

"Yes, mother, do you think Brother Niu will hate me very much?"

Siyu said uneasily.

When Mother Chen heard this, she sighed deeply, "I can't see that people are really in love with you, but I think he also knows that this is impossible, even if there is no Shen Canglang, you will definitely not like him!" ”

When Siyu heard this, he didn't say a word, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Since he was a child, he has always been regarded as an elder brother, how can he think about it in that way?

At this time, her mother hugged her and whispered to her, "Siyu, women must grasp their opportunities, this second son Shen is good, not to mention that people have a sincere heart for you, you must not refuse people thousands of miles away." ”

After Siyu heard what her mother said, she nodded slightly.

Thinking of that Shen Canglang did make me a little tempted, although I never dared to think about it.

But since he was so infatuated with himself, he also gave himself the courage to continue dating him.

While she was thinking about it, her mother was already asleep.

She couldn't stand too much suffering, and the people coming and going during the day had already exhausted her spirit.

Tonight had already made her fall asleep early, and at this time, a full moon outside the window came out of the clouds.

A silver moonlight sprinkled the room, like a layer of silver frost, making her unable to sleep even more.

She had no choice but to put on a dress lightly, and after leaving the house, the moon was full of moon in the courtyard, and it became more and more cold.

It's like in autumn, when I passed by my boudoir, I heard Shen Canglang snoring loudly inside, and I couldn't help but smile, this second son of Shen is good at everything, but he has no heart and no lungs.

As she was thinking this, she suddenly heard a soft noise from the backyard, which alerted her.

Hurriedly rushed to the backyard, but saw a man in a silver-white robe, with his back to him.

She was startled and timidly asked the man, "Hey, who are you?"
