Chapter 079: An Old Man

Seeing the visitor, Du Junqing and several people were startled.

Especially Mrs. Di Pei, she was so frightened that her face turned white, and she almost couldn't hold the bowl in her hand.

"Auntie, uncle, I ......"

"It's okay, it's okay." Di Ge Lao hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, "In this world, who can still move when they encounter food?" Anyway, I can't do it. It's just human nature for you to do this, and there's nothing to be ashamed of. ”

Old Madam Ge also nodded with a smile: "Children, greed is for sure." But how are you eating? Do you think it's really better than the previous cooks? ”

Mrs. Dida, who is already in her early fifties and has a full house of children and grandchildren, nodded shyly and satisfiedly: "It's really delicious, I'm fascinated by it." ”

"That's it! I'll just say that this little lady makes things different from others, you don't believe it, but now that you've tasted it yourself, you finally believe it, right? Old Madam Ge immediately said proudly.

"Madam, wronged, the old man hasn't tasted it yet!" Di Ge Lao hurriedly shouted.

The old lady gave him a blank look. "Aren't we already here? So what else can you eat now? ”

Madame Di Da was shocked again. "Auntie and Uncle are actually planning to eat here? That's not good, the things are ready, and we'll send you to the room. ”

"No, I don't. The place where the heart returns is my hometown. Now the smell in the kitchen is so seductive, we love it, we think it's much more comfortable to eat here than to go back to the room, so let's eat here! Di Ge Lao said with a smile, and finally he turned to Mrs. Ge again, "Anyway, we are old, do we still care about shame or shame?" As long as you are happy in your heart, it matters, ma'am, don't you say? ”

"Husband is right." Madame Di smiled and nodded.

When Mrs. Di heard this, she knew that her aunt and uncle had made up her mind. She didn't say more, and hurriedly took the initiative to bring the table and mats, reluctantly cleaned up the outside of the kitchen, and placed the two elders to sit down.

Gu Caiwei had already put up the hot and sour soup at this time, and sent it to them one bowl per person.

Old Madam Ge hurriedly scooped a spoonful and put it into her mouth, and she suddenly squinted her eyes comfortably. "That's right, that's what it tastes like! Sour and spicy, when I ate it in my mouth, every pore on my body suddenly opened, and it was very comfortable. ”

"Is it that amazing?" Di Ge also took a bite in disbelief, and he suddenly looked surprised, "It's true!" If you add one point, it will be too sour, and if you subtract one point, it will be slightly weaker, and this sour and hot ratio is just right, which is just right for my taste! ”

With that, he hurriedly picked up the bowl and snorted and ate.

Although he eats quickly, his movements are not rude, but a little reckless. It's so cute that an old man can still eat like this.

Soon, he ate a bowl of hot and sour soup, and then put down the bowl and sighed. "It's so refreshing! As soon as I finished eating, I felt a burst of warmth around me, as if this sour and spicy taste quickly penetrated the internal organs and drove away all the turbidity in the body, which was indeed comfortable! ”

Old Madam Ge had already finished her bowl at this time. She smiled and asked Elder Di Ge: "How is it, now do you still say that my chatter these days is purely because I was too hungry that day, so I think everything I eat is supreme delicious?" ”

"It's wrong for the husband!" Di Ge Lao hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

For the sake of his good attitude, the old lady snorted lightly and forgave him.

Seeing this, Gu Caiwei was slightly hooked at the corners of her lips, and hurriedly transferred two bowls of raw soaked honey to them.

"What is this?" Looking at the bowl of amber liquid in front of him, with one or two amber petals floating in the middle, Di Ge Lao couldn't help but ask.

"This is called peony soaking honey." Gu Caiwei hurriedly replied, "Just pick the peony flowers while they are still fresh, wash them and dry them, and then soak them in honey." As long as you soak it for half a month, the honey will gradually reveal the fragrance of peony. And because the peony is wrapped in honey, it will always maintain the fresh appearance of the original leaves. When the fragrance is brewed, you can scoop out a few spoonfuls every time you want to eat it, and melt it with warm water, which is an excellent bowl of raw soaked honey. ”

As she spoke, she smiled again. "Peony flowers bloom in the spring, sucking the vitality of spring. Therefore, it is used to soak honey in water, and after drinking, it is just to replenish people's vitality. Moreover, the peony petals also have the effect of nourishing blood and liver, dissipating depression and removing stasis, and beautifying and nourishing the skin, which is a good product for women, children and the elderly to quench their thirst and replenish qi. And it's delicious and good-looking, and it looks good when you take it out. ”

Elder Di Ge raised his eyebrows when he heard this. "I didn't expect you, this little lady, to know so much about the medicinal effects of peony flowers."

"That's nature." Gu Caiwei nodded unceremoniously.

"Then I'm going to test you." Di Ge Lao smiled and said, "You said that peony flowers can be soaked in honey, so can other flowers also be?" For example, honeysuckle, camellia, those? ”

"Of course you can, but the effects of these flowers are different. For example, honeysuckle, this is to clear away heat and dispel fire, and it is most suitable for drinking in summer. However, honeysuckle is sweet and cold, and people who are not in good health can not drink more, and they should drink at most one bowl a day in summer, and even less in winter. Gu Caiwei said without hesitation, "As for camellia, this is a good medicine for clearing heat and stopping bleeding, dissipating depression and reducing swelling, and it is most suitable for all kinds of bleeding, bruises, stasis, swelling and pain." Although this can be soaked in honey, it is not for ordinary people to eat, and ordinary people should not eat it indiscriminately. ”

"Well said!"

After she finished a few simple words, Di Ge Lao clapped his hands with satisfaction. "The old man is not mistaken, you really understand medical skills!"

"I know a little bit about the fur, which makes the elder smile when he sees it." Gu Caiwei smiled lightly, but her face was full of pride, and she didn't mean to be humble at all.

Elder Di Ge also had a smile on his face. "You're less than twenty, but you already know the effects of all kinds of herbs, and you know how to turn them into delicious food for people to eat, which is more than ten times more difficult than an ordinary doctor. Seeing you, the old man couldn't help but think of an old man. I still remember that she was very good at cooking at a young age, and she also used medicinal herbs in the pot, calling herself a food therapy. ”

The smile on Gu Caiwei's face stiffened slightly.

"Really? Don't know who that person is? Can you introduce me? ”

"It's impossible to introduce her, because she's no longer alive." Elder Di Ge let out a long sigh, and the smile on his face gradually dimmed.

When Old Madam Ge heard this, she couldn't help but have slightly red circles in her eyes. "She's such a good boy, it's just a pity...... Ay! ”

Di Ge Lao sighed again, and he stood up. "Well, since you are full, Madame, you can walk around for a while, and then go back and lie down! It just so happens that the old man and Changninghou still have a few words to say, and when we finish speaking, you should also rest, and then we can have the next meal! ”

Old Madam Ge was immediately amused by him again.

"You're a good old man!" She couldn't help but scold her husband, "The family Ning Hou and his wife came to the door as guests, but they didn't come to cook for us!" ”

Di Ge Lao frowned. "Don't you want Mrs. Changning Hou to cook you more food?"

Old Madam Ge paused.

Seeing this, Gu Caiwei hurriedly smiled and said: "I understand what you two mean, Old Di Ge, you love Mrs. Di Ge and hope that she can live comfortably, but Old Madam Ge loves me as a junior, and she can't bear to work too hard, you are all kind." As a junior, I have no other benefits, only being young and energetic. It's so easy to go to the Pavilion Mansion, so you can give me a chance to perform again! If I behave well, and you really like what I make, then you can also find a cook and let him go to the Hou Mansion to learn with me for a few days, and I will teach him all the dishes that I can make that are suitable for Mrs. Ge. I taught it by hand, and the cooking skills will definitely not be bad, so it is enough to take care of Mrs. Ge. ”

"That's a good idea!" Di Ge's eyes immediately lit up, "That's it!" ”

The old lady also nodded with satisfaction. "It would be nice if it could be arranged like this. You are a little lady, with a husband and children, of course, you should focus most of your energy on managing the family. ”

After saying that, Mrs. Ge went back to her room. Mrs. Di hurriedly asked someone to call a few little dolls from the Di family to play with Gu Tianyuan and Du Yi, while Gu Caiwei and Du Junqing followed Di Ge to his study together.

When he arrived outside the study, Di Ge said to Du Junqing: "Changning Hou, you will wait outside first, the old man wants to say a few words to Mrs. Changning Hou alone." ”

Du Jun cleared his head. "Okay."

Elder Di Ge beckoned to Gu Caiwei again. "Come with me!"

Gu Caiwei's heart suddenly accelerated.

She hurriedly followed Di Ge into the study, and when she heard a squeak, the door closed behind her.

"Little Seven Girls." Immediately, she heard a whisper in the room, it was Di Ge Lao's voice.

Gu Caiwei's nose suddenly became sore, and she almost cried.

Finally, another person recognized her identity and called out without the slightest hesitation!

"Diaon!" She hurriedly responded.

"It's really you!" Di Ge Lao looked surprised, "You...... Last time my wife ate the hot and sour soup you made, she said that she felt a familiar taste. Then the next day, she told me that she had a dream last night, and she dreamed of your grandfather. I was amazed at the time. Then, I heard about what happened in the Mansion of the Marquis of Changning. ”

With that, he stroked Gu Caiwei's back with one hand. "Since Old Man Gao left, you must have suffered a lot."

Gu Caiwei was even more sad.

"But my grandfather didn't have a painful departure, and I did the best I could, and I have a clear conscience in my life." She choked up.

"That's nature." Elder Di Ge sighed lightly, "Old Man Gao can have a granddaughter like you, it is really a blessing for his life, and it is also a blessing for me." I still remember that you were just a little taller than the stove at that time, and you were already holding a spatula around the stove, and at that time you scolded your grandfather for being too ruthless. Who knows, after his death, this became one of the ways I missed him. Even, if it weren't for your cooking skills, I'm afraid I wouldn't have recognized you. ”

Gu Caiwei nodded tearfully. "Learning to make medicinal diets, this was not forced by my grandfather, but I volunteered. I've learned a lot from it myself...... And thanks to your careful guidance, Diaon. ”

"Isn't this the way it should be? Your grandfather and I have been friends for many years, and in my heart, you are the same as my own granddaughter. Di Ge Lao patted her back again, "It's just that I still can't figure it out, why did you suddenly change your identity?" ”

"Hey, I still haven't figured this out!" Gu Caiwei sighed helplessly, and told him everything that had happened to her these days.

After hearing this, Di Ge Lao frowned instantly. "Borrowing the corpse to resurrect the soul, is there really such a wonderful thing in the world? I've seen this a lot of legends before, but this is the first time I've actually seen it in front of me. You can't even figure out why...... Looks like I'm going to have to do some research. ”

"What's the use of researching? Gu Caiwei is dead, and now it is Gu Caiqin who survives. Even, Gu Caiwei's body has been transported back to Xuzhou for burial. Gu Caiwei said lightly, "Now I can only continue to live with this body." ”

"That being said, it's a strange thing, and we have to figure out why. I always feel ...... There should be something behind this. Di Ge said slowly.

After Gu Caiwei heard this, she felt a chill on her back inexplicably.

"Did you think of something?"

"Not yet, it's just that something is wrong with what I think about it." Di Ge Lao shook his head and said, but immediately he smiled at her again, "But it doesn't matter, you Di Aon is here!" No matter what happens in the future, I will protect you. ”

Gu Caiwei's heart suddenly warmed, and she hurriedly raised a smile. "Thank you, Diaon!"

"We've all known each other for a long time, what's there to thank you for? Your grandfather helped me a lot in the early years! Di Ge Lao waved his hand, "Then now, I will ask your husband to come in." ”

Gu Caiwei hurriedly wiped the wet stains from the corners of her eyes before nodding.

Immediately, Du Junqing was invited in.

After entering the door, he saw Gu Caiwei with red eyes, and Di Ge Lao with a bit of sadness on his face.

His eyes immediately darkened, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"No courtesy, sit down!" Di Ge Lao waved his hand disapprerovingly, and asked directly to the point, "The two of you tried your best to make a big show at my wife's birthday banquet last time, and you also sent me a jar of medicinal wine, you must have asked for something." But what exactly do you want, you just say! ”

Du Junqing glanced at Gu Caiwei, and Gu Caiwei only nodded at him.

Du Junqing took out a roll of silk cloth hidden in his arms and handed it to Di Ge Lao with both hands.

Di Ge Lao opened it and looked at it, and his face suddenly changed greatly.

"Iron ore? Found in Yongxing County? Changning Hou, what you said is true? ”

"It's true. Last year, I went to the capital to see the mines. When I came back, I brought some ore with me. Du Junqing said, and took out a small piece of dusty iron ore rough and put it in front of him.

Di Ge Lao hurriedly took it in his hand, and looked carefully at the light shining in from the window, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "The iron content in this ore is not low!" ”

"Why not? It's scary-high, right? Gu Caiwei hurriedly interjected, and then took out her dagger and showed it to him, "Di ...... Elder Ge, you see, this dagger is made of pig iron dug from the iron ore in Yongxing County! ”

Di Ge Lao took his hand and weighed it, and his eyes suddenly lit up. "What a good dagger! It seems unpretentious, but in fact it is sharp and restrained. All the murderous aura is hidden in the seemingly ordinary knife body, once the killing intent in the human body is stimulated, the knife will also resonate, and then this will be a sharp weapon to kill! ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Du Junqing, but immediately turned his gaze to Gu Caiwei again. "I've seen blood on this dagger, right?"

"You're a god!" Gu Caiwei hurriedly gave a thumbs up when she heard this, and explained what she had done with Zhang Changzong that time.

Elder Di Ge was furious when he heard this.

"Such a despicable villain, who is blind and ignorant of good and bad, knows how to bully others. It's just a cheap maid who serves in Israel, but she relies on the power of Princess Taiping to bully ignorant women and children, it's just hateful! You should have slashed his face with a knife at that time, and see how he used that face to swagger around in the future! ”

Don't look at this pavilion elder, he usually talks very well. But once the fire started, he suddenly showed his edge, and his eyes were also cold, and the entire study seemed to be frozen in an instant, Gu Caiwei and Du Junqing, who were so tenacious, couldn't help but feel tight in their hearts and limbs after suffering such an impact.

Gu Caiwei hurriedly took a deep breath, and then she whispered to persuade him: "Do you think I don't want to?" When I saw his face, I wanted to kill him! But he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and he always let others block in front of him, and he shrank behind his head and opened his teeth and claws. Later, when he saw that the situation was not right, he directly left his own people and ran away! Before I could react, he was gone! ”

"So, the erector is not enough and conspiracy! Such a cheap commodity is only worthy of being reduced to a plaything! Elder Di Ge was still scolding angrily.

After scolding, he looked at Du Junqing coldly. "And you too. is a dignified man, but he can't even protect his wife, and he has to let her protect herself. Thanks to her cleverness, she reacted quickly and drove people away. Otherwise, how should you explain to her Daddy and Auntie? ”

Du Junqing hurriedly bowed his head. "I was wrong, there will never be anything like this again."

"You'd better do what you say!" Di Ge snorted coldly, still very angry.

Gu Caiwei couldn't stand it anymore. "That...... That thing is in the past, so don't mention it again. For now, let's talk about this iron mine! ”

"Of course, the matter of iron ore is to be discussed, but this can't stop me from scolding him first!" Di Ge glared at Du Junqing again angrily, and then unfolded the roll of silk cloth to take a closer look, and his brows suddenly furrowed even tighter.

"In all fairness, another iron mine has been found on the land of our Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is such a good refined iron ore, the old man should be happy. However, once he thought that after the news of the iron mine was announced, how many people with wolf ambitions would covet it, let alone how many lives would be harmed, and the old man couldn't be happy. Elder Di Ge sighed, "And I'm old, although Her Majesty still trusts me and respects me, but I'm too old to do many things. The main thing is, I'm afraid I won't live for a few years. But the ownership of iron ore is a big issue, at least for decades, and there must be no negligence in this matter. ”

Du Junqing's face was clouded when he heard this. "Old Di Ge, do you mean you don't plan to take care of it?"

Gu Caiwei shook her head. "He's not going to leave it alone. He's just lamenting that he doesn't have enough energy and can't manage it from start to finish. Then, he should recommend a suitable candidate for us. ”

When Elder Di Ge heard this, there was a hint of cracking on his solemn face.

"You little lady, can't you let me dress up first? Why do you expose me so quickly? ”

Gu Caiwei stuck out her tongue. "I was wrong."

Di Ge Lao raised his voice softly. "But what the old man just said is also true. The old man is old, and now he has little energy, and most of the government can let go. So in this matter, the most I can do is to lead you up, and then introduce you to a credible person, and then escort you for a while at the beginning, and that's all I can do. ”

Listening to the old man's dull words, Gu Caiwei's heart was crumbled.

"Diaon......

"Well, you don't have to persuade me." Elder Di Ge hurriedly interrupted her, "Everyone is born, old, sick and dies, this is the way of the cycle of heaven and earth. I have lived more than sixty years, I have had many ups and downs in my life, I have enjoyed the finest glory and wealth, and I have suffered countless times of adultery and slander, but in the end I still stand here, and I am favored by Her Majesty the Empress and loved by all the people of the world. Even when you encounter difficulties, you immediately think of coming to me, which is enough to prove how deep my prestige is in the hearts of the people. The old man has no regrets in this life! ”

"Moreover, it is actually quite uncomfortable to see my like-minded friends pass away one after another, leaving me as a bad old man to live in this world. I was looking forward to going underground to accompany them as soon as possible, maybe those bastards were already eating, drinking, and having fun, and laughing at my hard work here, and being trapped in the court when I was old and not free! ”

"However, after a hundred years of me, Her Majesty will surely give me a magnificent burial and reward countless servants and horses. In this way, when I get under the Nine Springs, I will definitely be proud of them. At that time, they will not be qualified to mock me, but they will find a way to slap me! ”

At this, he laughed out loud.

Since his old man had already understood the Tao so clearly, Gu Caiwei didn't say anything more.

It is true that for an old man, sometimes death is a relief. In particular, the aging of the human body is irreversible, and no matter how much you use drugs to recuperate, it actually has little effect. In this case, it is also a good idea to arrange everything at hand and then say goodbye to the world safely.

When Du Junqing heard this, he also bowed his head. "Ge Lao, you are right. But who are you going to arrange to take over this iron mine? ”

"This old man has to think about it first. The stakes are too big to be a joke. Elder Di Ge immediately put on a serious expression again, "This silk book is placed here for me first, I have to take a closer look." ”

This is a trivial matter, Du Junqing immediately agreed.

After saying this, Old Lady Di Ge called the little guy outside and asked him to go and see the situation on the old lady's side.

The little guy went to see it and came back. "The old lady just sweated again, saying that her body was very relaxed, so she changed her clothes and went to sleep."

"Then let her sleep! She hadn't slept well in a long time. Elder Di Ge nodded hurriedly, and then turned to Du Junqing again, "If you have nothing to do, is Changning Hou willing to accompany the old man to play a game of chess?" ”

"I can't ask for it." Du Junqing nodded without hesitation.

The time with Di Ge Lao alone, which others couldn't ask for, was now sent to him in vain, how could he refuse unless he was crazy and stupid?

Di Ge Lao was satisfied, and the little guy hurriedly came in and set up the chessboard.

The two of them sat down separately, and Di Ge nodded to Gu Caiwei again. "Mrs. Changninghou, sit down too! Anyway, being idle is idle, it's not bad for you to observe from the sidelines and help Chang Ninghou come up with ideas. ”

"Forget it! I'm going to pour you another glass of wine. If you drink it, you can sit for a little longer. Gu Caiwei hurriedly got up.

Elder Di Ge also nodded.

After Gu Caiwei left, the two men began to fall. After making a few moves to each other, Di Ge's eyes narrowed slightly: "Changning Hou is really hidden!" Your chess style is the same as your person, it seems to be light and soft, but in fact, it is pressing step by step, so that people are accidentally swallowed by you, but they still don't know what's going on. Thanks to the old man's knowledge, and a few young people like you have seen it, otherwise I am afraid that I will really fall for you! ”

"Old Di Ge, you are not bad, and you are even more disguised than me." Du Jun responded lightly.

Elder Di Ge immediately laughed out loud again. "You're interesting! The old man said, if you don't have a place to get your hands on, how can the girl be at your mercy? ”

Du Junqing's eyebrows twisted slightly, but he suddenly heard Di Ge ask again: "Do you know that the old man and the old man's wife have been married for fifty years, and they are still affectionate and beautiful, and they almost never quarrel?" ”

Du Junqing was stunned.

"I don't know, please let me know."

"It's very simple, two words - respect." Di Ge Lao hurriedly said, "Since I married her and entered the door, then she is the one who will accompany me for the rest of my life." As long as there is no flaw in her moral character, then you should understand and respect her, and you should not underestimate her just because she is a woman. And no matter what happens, you have to believe in her and give her everything that should be given to her. If you don't trust her enough, how do you know how many surprises she will bring you? ”

The more Du Junqing listened, the more confused he became. "Why did Elder Di Ge say this?"

"Hey!"

Elder Di Ge suddenly let out a long sigh. He gave off a little more before reaching out and patting him on the shoulder: "Young man, you can't be wrong to listen to me. I'm from here, and I won't hurt you. ”

"Elder Di Ge, can you make your words clearer?" Du Junqing asked again.

Elder Di Ge immediately shook his head. "What's the point if you say it all plainly? The old man can only talk about it now. As for what to do next, it's up to you. But what...... The old man can also give you a piece of advice - there are some little ladies in this world, they are very interesting. If you get along with her well and dig deeper and deeper, you will definitely become more and more obsessed with her, and eventually you can't stop! ”

Gu Caiwei went to pour the wine, and when she came back, she heard Di Ge Lao's words. She asked, "Elder Di Ge, whose little lady are you talking about?" Aren't you afraid that the old lady will be angry when she finds out? ”

"I'm talking about my wife!" Di Ge replied with a smile, "My wife is a treasure in the palm of my hand. We've been together for 50 years, but every time I spend more time with her, she still makes me smile. Now I rejoice just thinking of her! ”

Gu Caiwei pursed her lips and put down the medicinal wine for him. "This medicinal wine is a little better than the last time, but it only increases or decreases the amount of some medicinal herbs, you can try it."

"Okay!" Di Ge Lao hurriedly took a sip of the cup, and he immediately nodded, "This time it was changed very well." Half a month after drinking the previous medicinal wine, about half of the dampness and heat in my body have been removed, and now I should focus on removing paralysis. ”

After getting his affirmation, Gu Caiwei raised a smile on her face, and when she looked at Du Junqing again, she saw that he frowned, his eyes stared at the chessboard in front of him, and he looked very embarrassed.

"What's wrong with you?" She asked hurriedly.

Du Junqing was silent, and Di Ge smiled and said: "It's nothing, the old man's chess skills are too superb, he can't play the old man, so it's embarrassing!" ”

Du Junqing nodded. "That's what Elder Di Ge said."

Gu Caiwei also bowed. "Well, it's good if you're telling the truth."

With that, she handed him another bowl of seemingly ordinary water. "This is for you."

Du Junqing took it and took a big sip, his eyes suddenly closed, and his facial features wrinkled together uncomfortably.

"Why didn't you tell me you put so much mustard here?" It was easy to react, and he hurriedly asked Gu Caiwei.

"Mustard is a good thing, it is good to refresh your nose and refresh your mind, isn't it just right for you to play against Di Ge Lao now?" Gu Caiwei replied seriously, "And it took me a lot of effort to make the mustard dissolve in water and become invisible, which looks like I haven't added mustard!" ”

Du Jun glanced at her quietly, but still picked up the bowl and took a sip. But this time, he took a much smaller bite.

Seeing this scene in his eyes, veteran Di Ge couldn't help but smile, and also took a sip of his own medicinal wine, before he seemed to sigh to himself: "It's good to be young!" ”

Once this game of Go is played, the time is uncertain. Gu Caiwei is not interested in playing chess, so she can only look at it. She watched Di Ge Lao and Du Junqing keep dropping and picking up their own children, and then after winning and losing each other for two sets, about two hours passed.

The little guy was only late at this time. "Old Ge, the old lady is awake."

"Ah, she slept for so long? Looks like I slept well! Di Ge Lao nodded hurriedly, and hurriedly put down the chess pieces in his hand, "In that case, let's make a draw in this game!" ”

"Everything is up to the arrangement of Di Gelao." Du Jun cleared his head.

So, both sides put down the chess pieces in hand, and Di Ge wanted to get up, but after kneeling for too long, his legs were numb. Even with the help of the little guy, he stumbled several times.

Gu Caiwei pushed Du Junqing. "Why don't you go and help the old man?"

Du Junqing hurriedly went over to help Di Ge Lao up, while Gu Caiwei squatted down and massaged the old man's knees and calves for a while. "And now? What do you think? ”

"Well, it's much better!" Di Ge Lao nodded hurriedly, "The sour numbness is gone, and the strength in my legs has returned a lot, at least now I have enough strength to go to Madame!" ”

As he spoke, he didn't delay any longer, and hurried to the old lady of the pavilion.

The old lady had slept for two hours, and now she woke up in good spirits, with a satisfied smile on her face. The whole person looks much more energetic.

Seeing this, Di Ge Lao was even more happy. "Madame, you're much better!"

"yes, I think so too." Old Madam Ge nodded, "What about you, husband?" ”

"I'm getting better, too. Fang just drank another glass of medicinal wine, played chess with Changning Hou for a while, and then talked, my mind was much more relaxed. Di Ge said with a smile.

"It's just ......," he touched his stomach with one hand, "I'm hungry after racking my brains for so long to play chess." ”

The old lady laughed again. "If you want Mrs. Changning Hou to cook for you, just say it. With such a beating around the bush, is it still waiting for the juniors to take the initiative? You old man, the older you get, the more unpleasant you become! ”

Di Ge Lao hurriedly smiled, and said to Gu Caiwei: "Then bother you to go and cook us some food now!" In fact, you don't have to be too delicate, and you don't need to do too much, our old couple hasn't eaten much yet, and it's a waste if you do too much. ”

"Okay, I know." Gu Caiwei nodded hurriedly, and then followed Mrs. Di to the kitchen again.

Since she has to cook so many people's dishes, she will definitely not be able to rely on her alone. Gu Caiwei directly instructed the people in the small kitchen to choose vegetables and wash them, and when the ingredients were all cleaned up, they were sent to her.

Then light the fire on the stove, she put the cut pickled rabbit meat in the pot and stir-fry, after stir-frying the meat fragrance, then add a bowl of freshly peeled peas, a handful of fresh spring bamboo shoots, fry until the peas and spring bamboo shoots are discolored, and then add salt and pepper to taste.

Only when the smell of spring shoots and peas was out of the air did she put the things together and pour them into the pot where the rice was stewed. At this time, the glutinous rice has already been washed, add water and pour it into the pot, stir well with spring bamboo shoots and peas, and then simmer on high heat.

While the rice was stewed, Gu Caiwei picked another pot of fresh river shrimp, took off the shrimp head, fried the oil in the pot, and then removed the shrimp head, leaving only the shrimp oil, and then added water to the pot, boiled and diced tender tofu. After the tender tofu has been tumbled in the pot several times, then add the shrimp tails, just wait for the shrimp tails to change color, add seasonings, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and a fresh shrimp tofu soup is ready.

At this time, the aroma of rice mixed with spring bamboo shoots and peas was already emitted in the cauldron over there, and Gu Caiwei then asked someone to turn the heat into a low heat, and slowly simmered a layer of pot at the bottom of the pot, and then the rice was ready.

"Alright, notify everyone, let's eat!" Taking off her apron, Gu Caiwei clapped her hands, and then announced loudly.

As a result, who knows, when she packed up and walked out, she didn't expect to see a group of people standing in front of her!

It turned out that when she went to cook, Di Gelao's three sons and two other daughters-in-law came! There are also a few little grandsons, who were called to entertain Gu Tianyuan and Du Yi, and now they are also here.

With so many people gathered together, it seems that this place is very cramped.

Seeing her come out, a trace of cunning flashed in Old Di Ge's eyes. "Mrs. Changninghou, I'm really sorry, we didn't expect this group of children to come at this time! It's just that everyone has arrived, so it's better to leave them to eat. I just don't know, are you making enough? ”

This old man!

Gu Caiwei gritted her teeth secretly.

Today, the two officially recognized each other, and he began to dig a pit for her again! Gu Caiwei quietly scolded in her heart.

But the good thing is that she has experience. In the past, when my grandfather was alive, these two old men often stumbled and dug holes for each other, so as to enjoy seeing each other being cheated by themselves. And the two of them see each other, and one after another continues to dig holes for people, often enjoying it. She...... Ahem, I've always been watching the excitement on the side, and by the way, I helped my grandfather come up with ideas.

But that has always been the work of the two elders, and she, the junior, will not be implicated.

As a result, who would have thought that when his grandfather left, Elder Di Ge pointed the finger at him!

This old man is really childlike!

Gu Caiwei took a deep breath and a smile appeared on her face. "Of course the portions are enough. There are so many people in the old mansion, am I really stupid enough to make enough food for a few of us? I'm not stupid! ”

Thanks to her extra attention, she specially doubled the amount of food according to the initial estimate of shares, otherwise it would really not be enough for so many people to eat!

When Elder Di Ge heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, but there was a touch of pleasure in his eyes.

Gu Caiwei walked over and sat down beside Du Junqing, and then the cook brought someone to serve the food.

Tonight, Gu Caiwei made a total of one meal and one dish, the rice is stewed rice with fresh bamboo shoots and peas, and the dish is fresh shrimp and tofu soup. In order to take care of the appetite of the elderly, she specially made the taste very light, only using spring bamboo shoots, fresh shrimp and other natural ingredients to extract the fresh and fragrant taste, coupled with her good skills, these things are naturally made full of appearance and aroma.

By the time the food was delivered to everyone, many of them had swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva uncontrollably.

Di Ge Lao was even more unceremonious. When the things were delivered, he hurriedly picked up the bowl and took a big bite: "It's delicious!" ”

Take another sip of the soup. "It's so sweet and delicious! It's the old man's favorite taste! ”

Then, he directly put the soup in the rice bowl, mixed it and ate it in a big gulp.

When the other children and grandchildren saw this, they all ate the same.

Seeing this, Du Junqing turned his head and glanced at Gu Caiwei.

Gu Caiwei watched Go next to them for a long time in the afternoon, and just now she was smoky in the kitchen, and she was so tired that she was sitting there panting.

As a result, he noticed Du Junqing's strange gaze. She hurriedly turned her head to look over: "You don't eat, what do you see me doing?" ”

"Di Ge's way of eating, why do I feel familiar?" Du Jun said lightly.

"yes, I've eaten that before. At that time, he was ridiculed by Ah Yi like a countryman! Gu Caiwei nodded, "But now you look at it, if you change to Di Ge Lao Eat, the others don't think it's strange at all, and they all follow suit!" Maybe after a while, this way of eating will be popular all over Chang'an City! ”

"No, that's not what I meant." Du Junqing shook his head, "I want to say - judging from the various signs planted today, you and Di Ge Lao are also old acquaintances, and even the relationship is not shallow. Did you say I guessed right? ”
