Chapter Ninety-Six: The Feeling of Eating Western Food

Qiu Ju pursed her lips and said with acetic acid: "As for the little between the two of you, it seems that no one wants to listen to it, don't say pull it down." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Ding Qian shook his head and smiled bitterly, and didn't say anything more.

Soon the two of them came to the small courtyard rented by Chen Lang and Su Cherry, a small courtyard surrounded by yellow fences, paved with gravel into a winding path, and the flowers and plants on both sides of the path were swaying in the spring breeze in April. At the end of the path, there is a chic all-timber small second floor, and the whole courtyard looks clean and tidy, but also elegant and exquisite.

Ding Qian has been here twice, but he doesn't think so, besides, men generally don't pay attention to these details.

It was Qiu Ju, who was envious and said again and again: "Tut-tut, Chen Lang is really willing to spend silver on cherries, and this is all catching up with the golden house." When can you get me such a small building to live in, then I will be content to die. Saying that, he leaned next to Ding Qian.

Ding Qian said with a smile: "This mountain looks high to that mountain, which has always been a common problem for you women. You women will never be satisfied. ”

Qiu Ju said: "What is a common problem of women, this is called having comparative insights." I feel very happy that I didn't come here, but when I came here, I realized that happiness was far away from me! ”

Ding Qiandao: "You know what happiness is, happiness is that I have you in my heart, and I am happy in your heart." ”

Qiu Ju shook her head, then nodded and said, "Yes, that can be said to be a kind of happiness, but every woman still hopes that a man will give her a comfortable nest." Otherwise, I always go to the inn to open a room, making it look like a thief, for fear that acquaintances will see it. ”

While the two were talking, Chen Lang heard a voice and walked out of the building and said, "Brother Ding, Sister Qiu Ju, come in quickly!" ”

Qiu Ju saw that Su Cherry didn't come out to greet her, and thought that Su Cherry's shelf was too big, so she said unhappily: "Cherry, why don't you come out to greet me, an old neighbor." ”

Chen Lang hurriedly said: "Qiu Ju, you don't know, Cherry is now more than eight months pregnant, her body is heavy, and she has difficulty moving, so she didn't come out of the house, don't be surprised." ”

Qiu Ju nodded and said, "Oh, I'm about to be a mother, it's really enviable." As he spoke, he glared at Ding Qian.

Ding Qian pretended not to see it, and walked into the room with Chen Lang behind.

Su Cherry stood up from the chair with a big belly, leaned on the table and said, "Qiu Ju is here, it's really rare!" ”

Qiu Ju put the fruit in her hand on the table and said: "Cherry, I heard Ding Qian say that you are pregnant, and I specially bought you some fruits to replenish your body. ”

Su Cherry said: "You and Shopkeeper Ding can come to us, Cherry is very happy, what are you buying these things for?" ”

Qiu Ju said: "It's just a little heart, my mother said that it is good for women to eat more fruits when they are pregnant, and they will be smart when they give birth to children." ”

Chen Lang said: "Qiu Ju, look, how happy you are when you come to cherry, you talk endlessly, they all say that three women play a play, I think the two of you can play a play." As he spoke, he pointed to Ding Qian, holding the beef and pork in the basket in his hand, and said, "This is what you need to prepare for Western food." ”

Ding Qian nodded and said, "Yes, today I will show you three a hand and invite you to taste Western food." ”

Chen Lang said: "Okay, I'll take you to the kitchen in the backyard." ”

After seeing Chen Lang and Ding Qian go out, Su Cherry took Qiu Ju's hand and said, "Qiu Ju, when did you get along with Ding Qian." ”

Qiu Ju blushed and said, "It's been a few days." ”

Su Cherry said: "It's before I left Freezer Street, or after I left Freezer Street." ”

Qiu Ju nodded honestly and said, "It's after you left Freezer Street." Then he said, "Cherry, you won't laugh at me, will you!" ”

Su Cherry said: "We are all women, who laughs at whom." I have long figured out that we women have to live for ourselves, no matter what others think of us and how we treat ourselves, we must do what we like, which is called living back to ourselves and always invincible. ”

Qiu Ju said happily: "Mom, cherry, I didn't expect you to change so much, since you followed Chen Lang, you have been talking in a set." ”

Su Cherry shook her head and said: "This has nothing to do with Chen Lang, I have the same now, some things must let go of yourself, you said that your mother, my mother and Xia He, Yang Liu, their mothers, what have they worked hard for a lifetime, they are at best machines for giving birth to children, or men's punching bags, we can't learn from their old generations, hang themselves on a crooked-necked tree, then there is a woman's life." ”

Hearing Su Cherry's words, Qiu Ju simply admired the five bodies and said: "Oh, Cherry, you are so right, it suddenly came to my heart." As he spoke, he took out a Laiyang pear from the bamboo basket on the table, grabbed the knife on the table and sharpened it, handed it to Su Cherry and said, "Come, Cherry eat a pear to moisten your throat, otherwise your mouth will be dry." ”

Su Cherry smiled and took the pear and said, "Qiu Ju, don't worry, we are all children who grew up in poor families, so pampered." ”

Qiu Ju nodded and said worriedly: "Cherry, you won't tell Hu Ge about the matter between me and Ding Qian!" ”

Su Cherry said: "Qiu Ju, what kind of person do you think of Cherry, how can I, Su Cherry, do that kind of thing to sow discord!" What's in it for me, besides, your Ding Qian helped me Chen Lang so much, I really don't know how to thank him. ”

Qiu Ju said: "Ding Qian just helped draw a decoration drawing, don't take it to heart." ”

Su Cherry shook her head and said, "Qiu Ju, is Ding Qian helping to draw a drawing!" If you want me to say, it was Ding Qian's encouragement and help that made my Chen Lang have the ambition to do his own business. Saying this, Su Cherry reached out and stroked her stomach and said, "Otherwise, I don't know how to live my life in the future." ”

Qiu Ju said puzzledly: "Cherry, if this is there, your Chen Lang just doesn't do anything, isn't there still his father!" ”

Su Cherry said faintly: "Qiu Ju, you don't know if you don't have a top door to live a household, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are not at home, and it's better to have your own father and mother, you said that on that day, Chen Lang's father will not be in the position of the prefect, in case his old man dies that day, who else can we count on." Therefore, if your Ding Qian can give advice and help Chen Lang to open a business, it can be said that he has the grace of reinvention for us. In this way, my Chen Lang will not be traveling all day long, and at the same time, he will have a stable income and take on the responsibility of supporting his family. ”

Qiu Ju said: "Cherry, what you said is very reasonable, it can be said that you can stand tall and look far, and I also agree with Ding Qian's great help to Chen Lang, which is worthy of the word friend." ”

Su Cherry said: "That's it, then I hope you will come and go often in the future, and treat me as a confidant sister." ”

Qiu Ju nodded vigorously and said, "Cherry, don't worry, I'll come to you to sit down when I'm okay in the future, don't be impatient when the time comes." ”

Su Cherry said: "What about that!" ”

At this moment, Ding Qianda shouted loudly in the kitchen in the backyard: "Qiu Ju, come quickly, I can't be busy alone." ”

Qiu Ju smiled at Su Cherry and said, "That's what happened to their men, they were busy with their work." I went over to help. ”

Su Cherry quipped: "What asked you to go over to help, I think it's Ding Qian who left you for a while, and it was uncomfortable." Alright, you hurry up! ”

Qiu Ju came to the kitchen, and Ding Qian instructed: "Qiu Ju, you quickly help me chop those pork into filling, and I will use it to make sausages later." ”

Qiu Ju said: "Sausage, what is a sausage!" ”

Ding Qian said: "Oh, I can't understand it for a while, you can quickly chop the filling, and you will know when it is processed." As he spoke, he cut the beef on the board, and he first cut the beef into half a finger thick, two inches long, and a palm-wide width, and then slapped it on the beef with the back of his knife.

Chen Lang was also clumsily peeling potatoes and said, "I really didn't know that cooking was quite tiring before." ”

Qiu Ju said: "Of course, you are the eldest son from an official family, since you were a child, you only know how to stretch out your hands for clothes and open your mouth for food, so you know the hardships of the common people's lives." ”

Chen Lang wiped the sweat from his face and made up his mind: "From now on, I will chop wood and make a fire by myself, wash rice and cook to be a self-reliant person." ”

Ding Qiandao: "Chen Lang, a man's self-reliance is not necessarily limited to chopping wood for fire, washing rice and cooking, as long as you run the western restaurant well, can you hire a servant!" ”

Chen Lang threw the peeled potatoes in his hand into the basin and said, "That's right, how can a man's world only be in the kitchen." ”

After a lot of busyness, a large plate of steaks, a large plate of fried hash browns with mashed potatoes, a large plate of sausages, and a plate of sliced tomatoes, next to a small plate of salt flowers.

Su Cherry looked at the steak lined with green lettuce, fried golden potato cakes, sausages cut into small slices, and tomatoes and said: "Is this Western food, look at these colors are very good-looking, people feel very appetizing, I don't know how it tastes." ”

Ding Qian said to Chen Lang, Su Cherry, and Qiu Ju: "Come, all three of you, please sit down first." Let me tell you how to eat this Western food. As he spoke, he picked up a pair of chopsticks and pressed them against the steak, picked up a knife, and said while cutting: "Actually, you can't use chopsticks to eat Western food, but you should use a fork, and now it's just a temporary deal." Before our western restaurant opens, we must go to the blacksmith shop to get a batch of knives and forks for dining. ”

Cherry smiled: "It's really interesting, those who eat Western food also dance with knives when they eat, what if they accidentally scratch themselves?" ”

Chen Lang pretended to be very good and said: "That's because you're not used to it, could it be that we use chopsticks when we eat, who can you blame if you accidentally insert them into your eyes." ”

Su Cherry said: "You fool, use chopsticks to stick in your eyes when eating." ”

Chen Lang laughed and said: "Isn't this the same as the knife and fork used in Western food." ”

Ding Qiandao: "Yes, the principles are all the same, but eating Western food pays special attention to the atmosphere, and you must drink red wine to accompany the meal." ”

Qiu Ju was puzzled and said, "Red wine? What is Red Wine? ”

Ding Qian pondered for a moment and said: "The so-called red wine is the wine made in France. ”

Qiu Ju said: "Then where is the country of France, how do you know that they produce red wine there." ”

Qiu Ju's words really made Ding Qian not know how to explain this problem, it is good to say that people in the 11th century are lonely and unheard, but people in the 21st century are well-informed! He smiled and said, "I also listen to other people's nonsense." ”

Chen Lang said: "Although I don't have any red wine here, there is still wine from the Western Regions, I don't know if it can be used to accompany the Western food you make." ”

Ding Qian smiled: "Of course you can." ”

Chen Lang stood up and said, "Okay, you guys wait a minute!" As he spoke, he turned around and left the table, and after a while, he came back with a large sheepskin bag in his hand and said, "Come, how about you appreciate my wine from the Western Regions." Then he found four glasses and poured them wine.

Ding Qian picked up a piece of steak, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, swallowed it, and then took another sip of wine and said, "You all try it, how does it feel this time." ”

Su Cherry and Qiu Ju also ate a steak like Ding Qian, took a sip of wine and said, "Well, it's okay." ”

After Chen Lang did the same, he praised loudly: "Yes, it's really good, this texture and taste are indeed not ordinary." ”

Ding Qian said very well: "People in Western countries especially like candlelight dinners. ”

Chen Lang said: "What is a candlelight dinner? ”

Ding Qiandao: "It's at night, lighting candles in the restaurant, slowly drinking red wine under the flickering candlelight, savoring the delicacies, especially between lovers, under the hazy candlelight, drunk and misty eyes with affection, what kind of feeling in my heart." ”

Cherry and Qiu Ju smiled at each other without making a sound.

Chen Lang slapped the table and said: "It feels so good, this is called life, which makes people feel a kind of envy from the bottom of their hearts." Before the words fell, he stood up and walked to the window, closed the curtains, brought a large wax stand with three red candles on it, lit it and put it on the dining table, and said: "Come on, come on, what are you waiting for the evening, we four men and women, two couples, just enjoy this candlelight dinner, which is close to the water and the moon first." ”

Under the soft candlelight, the four of them slowly drank the wine of the Western Regions, tasted the Western food carefully, and gradually had a feeling of Tao Taoran.

Ding Qian gently stretched out his arm and put one hand on Qiu Ju's waist.

Chen Lang put his face on Su Cherry's lower abdomen, and listened quietly on the high belly, and the room in Nuoda suddenly became quiet, and only the wheezing voices of the four people could be heard.
