Chapter 187: A Slight Affection
"Look, there's a dumpling seller over there." After walking for a while, Gao Yue seemed to have discovered something, and said to Ji Yunshu with a smile.
Horn dumplings are now well-known zongzi. In ancient times, it was also called 'horn millet' and 'horn dumplings'. It appeared as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, and was originally used to worship ancestors and gods. In the Jin Dynasty, zongzi officially became the food of the Dragon Boat Festival, and for thousands of years, zongzi is not only a symbol of the Dragon Boat Festival, but also a typical representative symbol of Chinese culture.
Looking in the direction pointed by Gao Yue, sure enough, there was a shop on the side of the street, and there were some corner dumplings piled up on the table at the door. The boss is beckoning to buy and sell, and business is good.
"Why, at the Imperial Banquet, you haven't eaten enough?" Ji Yunshu raised a pair of smiling eyes and looked at Gao Yue. Gao Yue was slightly embarrassed, and said with a smile: "...... I really haven't eaten enough. ”
In fact, the symbolic meaning of the imperial banquet is far greater than the actual meaning. It is mainly used to boost the morale of the government and the opposition and show that the situation is becoming more and more stable, not really to invite everyone to have a beautiful meal. Besides, the flames of war are extinguished, although there are Liangzhou and Qinzhou's aid, but the materials in Chang'an City are not very rich at this time, and the scale of the imperial banquet is not small, so it is natural to consider the loss of ingredients, and also allocate a part to help the civilians in the city, so in front of each person, it is just a plate of meat and two plates of vegetables and vegetables, which is really not enough for a young man like Gao Yue, who has a large amount of food.
Seeing that Gao Yue was a little embarrassed, Ji Yunshu chuckled, then pursed his lips again, blinked and said, "Actually, I haven't eaten enough." Would you like to go buy some? ”
Gao Yue has no reason not to obey. immediately took Ji Yunshu and walked forward. When the boss saw another guest coming, he hurriedly came over to greet him with a smile.
"Shopkeeper, now that there has just been a war, it is said that there is not much surplus grain in the city, and the imperial court has come to provide special relief for grain, but how can you still have millet to make horn dumplings?" Gao Yue picked up two of the zongzi and put them in his hands, but asked the boss. Ji Yunshu glanced at it, the quadrangular corner dumplings were small and exquisite, the volume was the same, the dumpling leaves were green, and the appearance was very good, Ji Yunshu liked it very much, and couldn't help but reach out and gently pick one up, and looked at it excitedly.
The shopkeeper smiled, "The guests don't know." My family was originally in Chang'an City specializing in the production and sale of horn dumplings, the family handicraft, contemptible people are already the third generation. Although there has only been a war at the moment, and there is not much surplus food, didn't he defeat the Huns? Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, I think about making some corner dumplings, one is to the end of the handicraft, the other is to add some atmosphere. You see, I didn't do much in the first place. ”
"It's a pity that there is not enough meat at the moment, these horn dumplings are pure rice without filling, otherwise, people can eat until they can't let go! But even so, the taste of my horn dumplings, my horn dumplings, is absolutely delicious. Come on, the guests have a good taste, and they will not regret it! ”
The shopkeeper's mouth spat lotus flowers and greeted him warmly. Gao Yue looked at Ji Yunshu, Ji Yunshu naughtily shook the horn dumplings in his hand, stretched out a finger like a jade onion, and signaled that she only had one to eat. Gao Yue nodded and said to the shopkeeper, "Okay, you can get me another twenty-five." ”
Ji Yunshu was taken aback, "How can you eat so much?" ”
Gao Yue smiled, cocked his thumb and poked it far away without looking back, "I'll only eat five." Mainly the latter two, the amount of food is larger than mine, and I didn't eat anything at all when I sat in the escort seat just now, so I gave him two people, one person counted as ten. ”
I see. Ji Yunshu couldn't help but spit out his lilac tongue, and then looked behind him, but saw Lei Erren probing his brain in the distance, and seeing her looking at the past, he hurriedly turned his head and did nothing else. Ji Yunshu couldn't help but smile, turned his head and smiled low at Gao Yue: "You two good subordinates. ”
Gao Yue also smiled and said a few words, then settled the account with the shopkeeper and took the two packets of corner dumplings that had been bandaged. The shopkeeper was also a talkative, and when he saw Gao Yue and Ji Yunshu, they whispered and behaved closely, and they were both handsome and handsome, so they couldn't help but laugh and said: "You two young couples, they are really a match made in heaven, and they are dazzling when they stand in the crowd." But when I was young, I was tired of it, and when I got old, I probably didn't have so many Qingqing, haha. ”
These words made Ji Yunshu's face red with shame, his eyes immediately avoided everyone, and he couldn't raise his head for a long time. Ji Yunshu only felt that his whole body was hot, his palms kept sweating, and his heart seemed to have thousands of ants crawling over. She lowered her eyebrows and bit her red lips, and mechanically pinched the small horned dumplings with both hands, and even her neck was flushed, but she suddenly wondered in her heart, why she was not angry when she heard such reckless words.
Gao Yue's arm that was about to take the corner dumplings was stunned in mid-air, and he was speechless for a while. He didn't know what he was feeling in his heart, but there was a rush of intoxicating pleasure. He looked at the boss and didn't know what to say, and he was a little afraid that if he abruptly attacked the beauty, Ji Yunshu would be embarrassed and turn his head and leave. , Gao Yue swallowed and spit, and peeked at Ji Yunshu, fortunately, he didn't mean to leave with his sleeves.
"You ...... man"
Gao Yue smacked his lips and squeezed out a sentence, not knowing whether to laugh or put his face down. The shopkeeper was wrong, thinking that Gao Yue's young couple was thin-faced and couldn't help the jokes, so he immediately laughed and said: "What's the matter with two jokes!" Your lady is thin-skinned, how can you be a man, but you are also twisted. Ha ha. ”
Like adding fuel to the fire, Ji Yunshu couldn't stand anymore, she didn't dare to raise her head, and it was not good to turn around and leave, so she gently pulled the corner of Gao Yue's clothes, and the two were about to leave, and heard the shopkeeper say: "Hey, the guest's horn dumplings forgot to take!" You've got to taste it, or you'll think I'm bragging. If you want me to say, you are also lucky, just in time for General Longxi Gao to defeat the Huns, otherwise, where would I have the opportunity to make these delicacies! ”
Ji Yunshu suddenly felt a sense of pride. She actually stopped, turned her head and blushed, and whispered to the shopkeeper, "You are talking nonsense again...... This is General Longxi Gao. ”
"But, really?" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and his eyes widened.
Seeing Gao Yue smiling and nodding, the shopkeeper couldn't stand still, "Ahhh The nobles are in front of them, and the small ones don't know Mount Tai, so they joke about it, and ask General Gao and Mrs. Zun not to be surprised! ”
At this time, the shopkeeper still firmly believed that the two were husband and wife. Gao Yue couldn't cry or laugh, and was about to leave with a polite two sentences, but the shopkeeper shouted around.
"Ahh This is General Gao of Longxi! The nobleman is coming! The shopkeeper's smile blossomed, and Gao Yue bought a corner dumpling in his shop, which was invisibly a movable type gold signboard, and he was about to show off and praise it.
The crowd around them cheered up. The psychology of onlookers celebrities has been the same throughout the ages.
"Yes, yes, it's him, when the Longxi army entered the city that day, I also saw it from afar."
"This is the great savior of my court, it's rare to see it in person."
"Tens of thousands of Huns were defeated, and the emperor also said that this Gao general is really the reincarnation of the overlord!"
"Ah, so young, I can't imagine it!"
The common people often spread the word ten, ten, hundred, and the taste changed when it was passed on, and tens of thousands of Hun troops were stunned to evolve into hundreds of thousands, which couldn't help but make people not shocked.
After a while, in front of the small shop, it was surrounded by people who heard the wind. Thanks to Lei Qizhi and Zhou Panlong, seeing that it was not a problem, they hurriedly ran over, and struggled to open the way in front of Gao Yue, Gao Yue took a lot of time to arch his lips and tongue until he was sour, and only under the support of the two generals, he took Ji Yunshu to break out of the crowd and trot all the way away.
"Oh, it's all my fault, I won't dare to talk more next time."
Looking at the crowd behind him gradually becoming scarce, Ji Yunshu couldn't help but look back frequently, patted his chest, and said with palpitations. After a crowd to break free, at this moment her temples were slightly loose, and her face was also full of red touches, but it seemed to have a kind of youthful vitality.
Gao Yue's face was not red or breathless, and his face was as usual. Ji Yunshuqi said: "Why don't you gasp for breath, like it's okay?" ”
Lei Qizhi and Zhou Panlong came closely, received the horn dumplings, and smiled happily, to be honest, he was already hungry, and his eyes lit up when he saw the food. At the moment, while taking the horn dumplings from Gao Yue's hand, he opened his mouth and said: "My lord is a single horse to kill back and forth among the ten thousand armies, and it is also an idle matter. How big a battle has just been, how can he breathe? ”
As he spoke, Lei Qizhi suddenly realized that he was too close. He grabbed Zhou Panlong and shouted to stand and eat before leaving, Zhou Panlong opened his mind this time, and he was very cooperative without saying a word. So Gao Yue and Ji Yunshu walked forward again, and Lei Erren continued to stay two feet behind him.
"When you're quiet, you really can't see it, and it's really a person who can't be seen." Ji Yunshu's eyes crooked, and he praised with a smile: "No wonder Your Majesty said that you are the reincarnation of the overlord." ”
Gao Yue smiled and sighed again: "Your Majesty praises falsely. However, when my father was born, he was indeed recognized by the world as the reincarnation of Chu Overlord. ”
"Ah, really? No wonder you're so powerful. Is Ling Zun also deceased? It's a pity, did he ever serve in the imperial army? Ji Yun said comfortably, no wonder, there is really a father and a son.
"Oh, my father was originally a civilian man, he served in the army for a short time, and died young." Gao Yue replied vaguely, he couldn't explain the life of his biological father Gao Chong, and inadvertently blurted out it, only a perfunctory sentence. Ji Yunshu blinked and said that it was a pity, and he didn't realize the contradiction in Gao Yue's words, since he was recognized by the world, how could he be an ordinary person with no name.
But no matter what, Gao Yue and Ji Yunshu talked more and more happily with each other. The two walked all the way and talked, during which Ji Yunshu wanted to eat horn dumplings, and because the dumpling leaves were wrapped and sticky, he was a little hesitant, Gao Yue took the initiative to peel off one, cleaned it up and handed it over, although Ji Yunshu's face was red, but he finally did not refuse, and pretended to be very calm and took it, but he felt a trace of warm and faint ambiguity in his heart.
