"It's so sweet, it's delicious, I didn't expect you to make it. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhang covered his mouth and swallowed the red fruit.

"I'll taste it too." Xiaocui saw her mother smiling, she was also greedy, took a bunch and put it in her mouth, the sweet sugar and sweet and sour fruit made her sweet into her heart, and she couldn't help but shout that it was delicious.

"Tang Lang, what's this called?" Xiaocui has been in the palace for several years, and although her status is humble, she has tasted a lot of new things, but Tang Xu has never eaten this kind of thing.

"Sugar gourd." Both mother and daughter thought it was delicious, and Tang Xu was very happy. Xiaocui's mother and daughter were curious about the name sugar gourd and asked what was the origin?

"Because it looks like a gourd that hasn't grown up, and it's wrapped in a layer of rock sugar, it's called a sugar gourd." Tang Xu didn't know the origin of the sugar gourd and couldn't make up a good story, so he had to say nonsense, but fortunately, no one really cared and just asked casually. Bao'er was greedy on the side, and it was easy to wait for her mother and sister to have eaten, and she was busy taking and eating, and she was full of praise while eating.

At this time, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Bai Lun walked in from the outside, but he didn't come back alone, and there were several half-old boys behind him, who looked about the same age as Bao'er.

"Bao'er, let's go out and play." One of the boys stood in the courtyard and shouted into the house.

"Who's out there?" After Bai Lun entered the house, Tang Xu asked.

"Oh, it's Bao'er's companion, and he said he came to hang out with Bao'er." Bai Lun replied.

Bao'er heard the call of his companion and wanted to run out, but ran out two steps and turned back, Tang Xu thought he had changed his mind, but he didn't expect him to rush to the table and stare at those sugar gourds and hesitate, and asked his mother if she could take some out for the friends to eat?

"Good boys, go tell them in." Zhang smiled, and Bao'er answered and ran out, and then led the four little boys back to the house.

"This is made by my brother-in-law, but it is delicious and very sweet, I invite you to eat it." Bao'er pointed to the plate on the table and said proudly. The children thanked Zhang and Tang Xu, and at first only one little boy went to get a bunch to share with the others, but after eating, he was reluctant, and the four of them stared at the plate but were embarrassed to ask for more.

"Take a bunch for each of you." Zhang was amused by the children's greed and asked the children to get it, and the children rushed up to the table. Xiaocui asked Bao'er to share it, and Bao'er immediately looked like a general who had won the order, and the sugar gourds were handed over to her partners one by one. The children got their own, thanked the adults and went out to play.

"The child is really carefree, and he feels very happy when he eats something delicious, but in a few years, I am afraid that he will have to worry about the things in this world." Zhang looked at the backs of the children who disappeared outside the door in a blink of an eye and sighed, Tang Xu was afraid that Zhang would be sad and hurriedly diverted the words, talking about Bao'er's kindness to Ah Long, Kua Bao'er was so affectionate and righteous thanks to her mother and son, Zhang was happy when he heard it, and the faint sadness on his face immediately dispersed.

When the food was almost finished, Tang Xu went to the stove room to prepare food for Ah Long, Xiaocui came to ask for help, Tang Xu was afraid that she would feel disgusting pig offal, so she asked her to go back to the house to rest, and she stayed in the stove room to work. He boiled the pork heart, the pork lungs and some potatoes and sweet potatoes together and let them cool, then cut them into fine cubes, sprinkled them with salt and mixed together. It was supposed to be mixed with rice, but rice was precious, so coarse grains were used instead.

Tang Xu was afraid that he wouldn't be able to finish eating it at one time, so he divided the dog food into two basins and brought one to Ah Long's grass nest. He thought that Ah Long was asleep, but he didn't expect it to be looking at Tang Xu with round and bright eyes.

"I've kept you waiting, you're hungry." Tang Xu smiled and touched Ah Long's head, Ah Long first tentatively approached and sniffed, and then whined twice. Tang Xu thought that it didn't like to eat, but immediately saw it planted in a pot and ate it in a big gulp.

"It looks like it tastes pretty good." Although it doesn't seem good to say this, Tang Xu is really happy that the things he makes are so liked by both humans and animals, he has been squatting there until Ah Long has finished eating, and then he takes it away and washes it, and remembers that he made a fortune by mistake when he grilled lamb skewers, haha, maybe he really has the talent to be a chef?

"Tang Gongzi, what are you thinking? Laughing so happily. Bai Lun came to Tang Xu and saw him laughing and washing things alone in the stove room.

"Ah, nothing." Tang Xu was a little embarrassed to be seen thinking nonsense, so he hurriedly washed the basin and pot, and came out with Bai Lun.

"In the future, the call of the other son-in-law will be raw." Tang Xu suddenly thought of this, in fact, he always wanted to say it but always forgot it.

"It's okay, it's just that I don't know what you Han people call you?" Bai Lun laughed.

"How old are you?" Tang Xu remembered that he hadn't known Bai Lun for so long and didn't know how old Bai Lun was, and Bai Lun replied that he was twenty-five years old this year.

"You are older than me, then I will call you Brother Bai in the future, and you will call me Tang Xu." Tang Xu felt that if he called Brother Tang, it would be like becoming a relative.

"How can you call Tang Gongzi by his name." Bai Lun hurriedly shook his head and said that this is not good.

"Then you call me a pool, my friends call me that." Tang Xu remembered that when he was in school before, Liu Yi always said that he was an idiot, maybe he was an idiot, but an idiot sounded like a monk's name, so it was quite meaningful to simply change the idiot to Chi.

"A pool? What a special title. Bai Lun didn't know the mystery, but Tang Xu was still very happy when he said it was a name among friends.

"Brother Bai? Then it's decided. Tang Xu said.

"It's better to be respectful than to obey." Bai Lun replied, Tang Xu was amused by him and laughed along.

"Ah, by the way, I came to you to say that I found a house and wanted you to come with me to have a look." Bai Lun suddenly remembered the purpose of his coming to Tang Xu.

"So fast? Where is it? Tang Xu asked.

"There is a house ten miles to the west, which is supposed to be a lively place, but there seems to be no one around, and I heard that it seems to be a little unclean, so it has been vacant." Bai Lun said.

"Not clean? Haunted? Tang Xu's first reaction was very dirty? But remembering that the ancients said that it was not clean, it was mostly related to ghosts and gods.

"Yes, but perhaps because of these rumors, it's a great place to hide." Bai Lun didn't believe this, and it was not easy to find a place that was not easy to find within the boundary of Kaifeng, but he didn't know if Tang Xu would mind.

"Well, I don't believe in those superstitious things, you can take me to see it." Tang Xu immediately replied.

"But don't talk to Xiaocui and her mother about this, I'm afraid they'll be worried." Tang Xu said to Bai Lun again, and Bai Lun nodded and promised to keep his mouth shut.
