Chapter 55 Hot Pot, a strange feeling welled up in my heart

Hanyan invited Mu Qianxia to rest here, Mu Qianxia had just consumed too much physical energy by climbing the mountain, and the feeling of tiredness came in an instant, so he nodded and agreed.

As soon as Mu Qianxia lay on the bed, she was overwhelmed by the surging sleepiness, and darkness enveloped her.

This sleep was very sweet and peaceful, until the whole body slept comfortably and softly, Mu Qianxia opened her eyes lazily, glanced at the gauze tent above her head, and saw that the sky was dark, so she turned over in a daze and continued to sleep, but she didn't sleep for a while, she was forced to wake up by the rumbling stomach.

Because he slept too comfortably, Mu Qianxia reluctantly climbed out of bed, stepped into his shoes, draped his coat casually over his shoulders, and dragged his legs outside. I pushed the door open, and a slight coolness came in, and the air was mixed with the smell of grass and earth, coupled with the freshness after the rain, which was extraordinarily long-lasting.

It seems that during the time I was sleeping, it was raining lightly outside. The fresh and clean air after the rain made Mu Qianxia's whole person feel refreshed, and the little sleepiness that was still left just now had already disappeared at this moment.

Mu Qianxia raised his head and found that the stars were shining in the sky.

The stars on the inky blue canopy were shining brightly, and the thousands of stars that poured into the field of vision in an instant were shining brightly, giving Mu Qianxia the illusion of floating in the sea of stars. This is something she cannot see in the 21st century.

Mu Qianxia was stunned for a while, only to realize that he had slept all day.

She walked around, but saw no one, and the row of rooms next to her was empty, deserted, and there was not the slightest smell of human beings. Mu Qianxia walked along the front of the house with some doubts, and didn't go far before he heard a faint human voice.

Not long after Mu Qianxia woke up, her mind was still a little foggy at this time, and when she heard the voice in front of her, she didn't think much about it, so she walked in the direction where the sound came from.

Bypassing a row of houses, the scene in front of me became brighter. Unable to see a single figure at this moment, they were all gathered by a spring in the glade, Gu Li, cold smoke, and even Shuofeng.

Mu Qianxia stopped and looked at it, only then did he see a temporary tandoor erected by the spring, there was a large iron pot on the tandoor, I don't know what soup was boiling in the pot, the color was slightly dark, did it exude bursts of aroma, Gu Li and Hanyan still added something to the pot from time to time.

After a while, a boy came with a tray and passed by Mu Qianxia without squinting, and Mu Qianxia recognized that it was the boy who often followed Hanyan. Within a moment of passing by Mu Qianxia's side, Mu Qianxia had already seen what he was serving.

I saw that on the two-foot-wide lacquer plate, there were four white glazed porcelain plates with smooth texture and good character, and the porcelain plates were neatly stacked with pieces of meat cut as thin as cicada wings, sheep, pigs, cattle and rabbits, and various pieces of meat of different colors and textures reflected the white porcelain plates, which appeared more and more tender.

Judging from this posture, is it ...... Chafing dish?

The first person to find out Mu Qianxia was Shuofeng, Hanyan and Gu Li were seasoning a big pot of soup, he didn't know any way of cooking, he didn't know what he should do at this time, he could only stand aside in embarrassment, and he didn't think about it, but he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Mu Qianxia standing next to a house, his eyes were stunned, and he raised his hand to salute.

Now that he was seen, Mu Qianxia didn't stay long, so he walked straight over, raised his hand at Hanyan first, and said with a smile: "Thank you Hanyan for taking him in." ”

At the back of the hot pot are two tables, one of which is not only the meat slices brought by the waiter, but also a variety of delicately cut fresh vegetables, neatly stacked in a row or stacked in a circle, and the freshly cleaned leaves look more and more green and lovely under the light of the fire on the side. On the other table, which is a little farther away, there are palm-sized white porcelain dishes, which contain all kinds of spices.

The spring flows through the rocky bushes, meandering between the weeds and thorny rocks, full of energy and joy, running into the distance.

Han Yan took a small empty porcelain bowl and mixed a small amount of various spices from various spice containers. Then, he picked up the bamboo chopsticks and put the meat slices into the pot, and quickly soaked them in the boiling and hot soup, the thinly cut meat slices changed color in a blink of an eye, he soaked a piece of meat, turned his hand and dipped the seasoning in the bowl, and sent it to his mouth: "It's almost, everyone shouldn't be idle now, there are not many people here, you can come and eat what you want to eat, you can come and eat it in the light summer." ”

Seeing Mu Qianxia, Han Yan didn't have the slightest surprise, just said hello with a smile.

Mu Qianxia was not polite at all, seeing that there was still an open space between Mu Qianxia and Gu Li, she walked over and sat down, and took the initiative to pick up the bamboo chopsticks from the table, hot pot is her favorite food in modern times, every time she comes home, her parents will prepare hot pot and wait for her to come back, but since she came here, she has endless all kinds of food every day, so she hasn't come to get it yet, and no one in her house does it, but now I see this situation, She unconsciously remembered the scene before she came here - more than a thousand years later, sitting around a table with her family and eating hot pot happily.

Mu Qianxia skillfully sliced the meat, Han Yan had already mixed another bowl of seasoning for her and sent it to her, Mu Qianxia dipped it and sent it to her mouth, the tender meat slices were rolled up in the hot soup, and a thin layer of seasoning was dipped on it, just looking mouth-watering, not to mention putting it in her mouth and biting it, the entrance was hot, hot on the tongue, and accompanied by a little soft and sweet balsamic vinegar. Take another bite, it is fragrant and tender, and the aroma of the meat spreads little by little on the tip of the tongue, which makes people have an endless aftertaste and leaves a fragrant mouth.

After Mu Qianxia finished eating a piece of meat, she continued to dip a slice into the pot, and suddenly found that Gu Li on the side did not have a bowl yet, she couldn't bear to see that she was eating, but others were watching, she knew that this feeling was quite painful. So, she sandwiched the sliced meat into a bowl, dipped it in the seasoning, and handed it to Gu Li's mouth.

Gu Li was slightly stunned, looking at Mu Qianxia's face that was red from the fire, her eyes were shining, as if the stars were reflected in her eyes.

Mu Qianxia saw that Gu Li was stunned and didn't move, so he handed the meat slices in front of Gu Li again, and said with a smile: "You can taste it, it's very delicious."

The woman in front of him smiled skillfully and looked forward to it, he was stunned for a while, opened his mouth in a daze, and bit the meat slice, the tenderness, sweetness and sourness in his mouth woke him up, making him uncomfortably skimming his face.

"How's it going, isn't it delicious? Hot pot has always been my favorite food, and there is no one. ”

Gu Li nodded unconsciously, at this time, his mind was full of Mu Qianxia's smile just now, as if time stood still at that moment, so that he could no longer hear any words from the outside world. A strange feeling welled up in my heart.

Eating hot pot is a very lively thing, everyone sits at a table, talking and laughing. Even though there were not many people present, and some of them were still cold-tempered, but driven by this atmosphere, everyone couldn't help but melt in, listening to Gu Li, Hanyan, and Shuofeng talk about what they had seen and heard in the field in the past.

During this period, the waiter sent some wine over, and Mu Qianxia and the others drank wine on the hot pot, Mu Qianxia didn't remember how much he drank, he only felt that he was dizzy, and his mind was far away from him little by little. The alcohol was steamed by the heat of the hot pot, the blood boiled, and Mu Qianxia brought some unbridled impulses.

Gu Li was the first to leave the table, he ate very little, and put down his chopsticks when he felt that he hadn't eaten much. He walked a few steps, sat aside, took the guqin handed by the boy on the side, raised his eyes to look at the starry sky and began to play.

The sound of the piano sounded faintly, sometimes soothing like a flowing spring, sometimes sharp like a waterfall, sometimes crisp like a pearl falling on a jade plate, sometimes low back like a whisper. It is a clean piano sound that carries the human heart back to the depths of the music in search of the rose of the spirit. Everyone listened to it in a fascination, deeply immersed in the beautiful sound of the piano, and did not want to wake up.

"Seafarers talk about Yingzhou, and the smoke is faint and the letter is hard to find; The more people talk about the sky, the clouds and clouds may be visible. Mu Qianxia suddenly chanted.

Han Yan was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, but saw Mu Qianxia's elegant and beautiful face with a halo on her cheeks, which was beautiful. Her eyes reflected the light of the stars, and she didn't pay attention to the surprise of the cold smoke at all, and only continued to chant: "The heavenly grandmother is even horizontal, and the five mountains are stretched out to cover the red city." The rooftop is 48,000 zhang, and it wants to fall southeast. I want to dream of Wu Yue, and fly to the mirror lake and moon in one night. The lake and the moon shine on me and send me to the river. ”

Gu Li couldn't help but raise his head to look at her, Mu Qianxia smiled back, and continued: "The green darkness is bottomless, and the sun and moon shine on the gold and silver platform. Ni is the clothes and the wind is the horse, and the kings of the clouds come down one after another. ”

She chanted indiscriminately to the sound of the piano, although it didn't match the sound of the piano, but it also had a unique charm. When the chanting reached the rise, Mu Qianxia picked up the bamboo chopsticks placed aside, knocked on the edge of the bowl, and continued: "The same is true of the world's pleasures, everything has flowed in vain since ancient times. When will you return? And put the white deer between the green cliffs, you must ride to visit the famous mountain. An Neng broke his eyebrows and bent his waist to deal with the powerful, which made me unhappy!"

Since Mu Qianxia came here, she has been carefully controlling her alcohol consumption, she has never really been drunk, and she has never forgotten her form, but today, she is drunk, completely drunk.

Maybe it was because the night was too beautiful tonight, maybe it was because her mood relaxed all of a sudden, maybe it was because the atmosphere around her was too lively, she was completely drunk, and not only drunk, she even forgot to sing poems that should not appear in hundreds of years.

Even in another worldly time and space, this song "Sleepwalking in the Sky and Leaving Farewell" is still dazzling and dazzling, even if it advances time and space by hundreds of years, it still exudes its own unique charm.
