Chapter 81: She didn't mean to make it for him
The tent was quiet, and the old man stared at the letter for a long time, and with a heavy sigh, he stood up, folded the fluttering piece of paper, and lit it with a fire fold.
Thinking of Su Mian's smile when he talked to him, and thinking of the content of the letter just now, the old man looked a little hesitant.
Su Mian...... At first glance, you know that she is a good boy, but Ah Wan ......
The letter paper in his hand had already been burned to ashes, but the old man stood there for a long time without moving, he had been kind all his life, and he had never done anything harmful, but this time......
"Uncle Ge? Are you there? Su Mian's voice suddenly sounded outside, startling the old man who was in a daze.
"In, in!" Uncle Ge suddenly came back to his senses, lifted the curtain and walked out.
After Su Mian heard about Awan's matter just now, she felt a little sorry for Uncle Ge, so she took the initiative to find it.
"Uncle Ge, are you going to make snacks today? Shall I learn from you? Su Mian asked with a smile.
I don't know how long this war will last, since Uncle Ge feels like his daughter, if he has time, it is better to accompany him more.
Unexpectedly, Su Mian would take the initiative to ask to learn dim sum, Uncle Ge was slightly stunned, and a trace of hesitation and struggle crossed his eyes.
I was worried that I didn't know how to get closer to Su Mian, and now I ...... It can only follow the trend.
After a pause, he hurriedly agreed: "Since Miss Su wants to learn, of course I am willing to teach." ā
"Okay, when is Uncle Ge going to start making dim sum? I'm with Uncle Ge. Su Mian stepped forward with a smile and stood beside Uncle Ge.
Uncle Ge seemed to be a little absent-minded, and after thinking for a while, he said, "That...... Why don't you do it now......"
"Good!" Su Mian nodded without hesitation and agreed: "Anyway, I don't have anything to do now, if Uncle Ge doesn't think I'm stupid, we can make snacks now!" ā
After cleaning up, Uncle Ge took Su Mian and walked towards an open space not far from the tent.
There was a slightly larger tent there, Su Mian lifted the curtain and walked in, only to find that it was originally arranged to look like a kitchen.
The old man casually took the milky white liquid that had been set aside, and then pointed to the dough that had been prepared in the morning.
"It's better to ...... How about the kind of dim sum you had last time? My daughter...... I like to eat that too. At the mention of his daughter, a smile appeared on the old man's face, but there was a hint of heaviness in that smile.
Su Mian's heart trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but think of her father, and she didn't know where her father was now imprisoned by Su Soft?
Su Rou ...... I don't think I will abuse my father, right?
"Miss Sue? Miss Sue? Seeing that Su Mian suddenly stood in place and began to be stunned, Uncle Ge whispered to her twice.
"Huh? Uncle Ge, you said. Su Mian came back to her senses and smiled at the old man a little embarrassed.
The old man shook his head and said in a low voice, "It's nothing, if you want to make snacks, let's go wash your hands first......
"Good!" Su Mian agreed, went to the side to get some water, and washed his hands.
It's not too difficult to make dim sum, Su Mian mixed the materials needed step by step according to what the old man taught, and kneaded them into the shape she wanted, so that they were put on the whole one by one, and then they were put on the cage one by one.
It would take a while for the dim sum to be steamed, so Su Mian simply moved two small stools from the side and sat near the stove with Uncle Ge.
The old man's face was very calm in the light of the fire.
Su Mian guessed that he must have thought of his daughter.
"Uncle Ge...... You just said that your daughter also likes to eat these snacks......" Su Mian observed the old man's expression, and asked tentatively, "Can you tell me something about her?" ā
The old man paused slightly, paused for a moment, and then said softly: "Awan's matter...... It seems that Miss Su already knows. ā
"Yes." Su Mian nodded, for fear that he would say something inappropriate and make the old man feel uncomfortable, so he thought about it for a long time before he whispered: "It was Atai who told me, don't blame him......"
"Of course I don't blame him......" The old man shook his head slightly, staring at the blazing stove, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long time, he whispered, "Awan...... It's my only daughter, and she died not long after giving birth to her......"
"I brought up Awan alone, she has been sensible and obedient since she was a child, and she has grown up to be a good person, I thought that I would find a good family for her to marry in the past two years, and I was relieved, but I didn't expect ......"
The old man sighed and did not continue.
Su Mian has always been soft-hearted, and seeing that the old man's mood was low, his heart softened, and he hurriedly spoke: "Uncle Ge, Awan...... It should be said that I can still find it back, I will accompany you as soon as I am free during this time, and when this battle is over, I will ask Gu Zhixing to send people to expand the scope of searching, in case, what if something happens to Awan and is rescued by people from other tribes? I heard Gu Zhixing say that in addition to the Qingteng tribe outside this country, there are many large and small tribes, not necessarily where Ah Wan is now......
"Good boy, you don't have to comfort me......" Uncle Ge smiled, a trace of bitterness crossed his eyes.
The more Su Mian comforted him like this, the more uneasy the old man became.
Thinking of the letter he had received before, his original determination was a little shaken by Su Mian's words just now.
At present, Beiyuan and Xisheng are at war, although Su Mian, the child, is the third princess of Beiyuan, but since Su Rou has used means to let her go back, it must not be a good thing to wait for her......
Exchange Su Mian for Awan.
This is the condition that Su Rou prescribed.
Looking at Su Mian, who was sitting next to him staring intently at the steamer, and thinking of his daughter who was trapped in Beiyuan, the old man only felt that his heart had never been tormented like now.
ā¦ā¦
The snack was so small that it only took a stick of incense to be served off the fire.
Before the lid was lifted, Su Mian had already smelled a strong milky fragrance.
"Wow, it smells so good!" She looked a little surprised, and without hesitation, she lifted the lid of the cage drawer, and then stared at the contents a little dumbfounded.
"This ...... Why is it so ugly? Her expression was a little embarrassed.
I saw two plates of dim sum in the cage drawer, one was made by Uncle Ge, all of them were uniform in size, small and cute.
On the other hand, Su Mian made it, obviously the size was about the same before putting it in, but I don't know why, after steaming, they all stuck together, and they were all strange-shaped.
"Hey, I thought it would be successful the first time......" Somewhat depressed, Su Mian's expression was a little disappointed.
Uncle Ge glanced at the dim sum she had made with a smile, and said comfortingly: "It's okay, Miss Su doesn't have to mind, although these dim sum are a little worse, the taste will not be bad, and the prince will definitely like it." ā
"What's the matter with him?" Su Mian was slightly stunned, not knowing why Uncle Ge suddenly mentioned Gu Zhixing.
Uncle Ge was also stunned, and asked incomprehensibly: "Didn't Miss Su make a special trip to learn to cook for the prince?" ā
Here, it seems natural for women to make snacks for men to eat.
Su Mian was slightly stunned, I don't know why, just thinking of this sentence, I feel uncomfortable, why do you think this is a natural thing?
It won't be like that in that place, that place is ...... It's equal!
But...... Where the hell is that place?
Why do I think of that place again?
Su Mian stood in place and didn't move for a long time.
"Miss Sue? You...... You okay? Uncle Ge couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw Su Mian suddenly start to be in a daze again.
"IāI'm fine." Su Mian came back to her senses and picked up the ugly dim sum she had made in front of her: "I'm bothering Uncle Ge this morning, I'll go back first, and I'll come to see you in the afternoon when I'm fine." ā
Walking away with a snack, Su Mian began to be absent-minded again.
Tell her directly that "that place" that she forgot about is a very important place.
And he once mentioned it to Gu Zhixing.
"That place, that ......" Su Mian walked in the direction of her tent with words in her mouth, and just as she walked to the door, she ran into Gu Zhixing, who came to find her.
"Mian, where have you been?" Gu Zhixing finished talking about business only to find that Su Mian was not in the tent, and just as she was about to ask someone to inquire, she came back by herself.
Su Mian glanced at him lightly, opened the curtain and walked in, and said, "It's nothing, I just went to Uncle Ge's place." ā
"Went to Uncle Ge again?" Gu Zhixing subconsciously frowned, faintly feeling a little uneasy.
Uncle Ge and Mian...... It seems to be getting too close.
"Ah Mian......" After thinking for a moment, Gu Zhixing sat down beside Su Mian, and said tentatively: "I know that you have never been defensive about people, although the people of the Qingteng tribe are hospitable, they have only known you for a short time......
"I know what you're trying to say." Su Mian interrupted him: "There is a reason why I am close to Uncle Ge. ā
"What is the reason?" Gu Zhixing asked.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Mian slowly spoke and told Gu Zhixing about Awan.
"So now, do you still object to me getting close to Uncle Ge?" She picked up a piece of snack casually, looked at Gu Zhixing and asked.
Gu Zhixing was silent.
Looking at the strange snack in Su Mian's hand, he suddenly laughed, and asked with a somewhat interesting expression: "These...... Did you do it yourself? ā
Su Mian was slightly stunned, and subconsciously asked, "How do you know?" ā
Gu Zhixing's eyes were smiling even more, and he considered the words before he spoke: "Because this shape is really a bit ...... Unique. ā
After speaking, he added: "But as long as it is made by Ah Mian, I love to eat it." ā
Su Mian almost choked on a mouthful of dim sum, and glanced at him speechlessly, when did I say that I was going to give you a dim sum I made myself?
