Chapter Twenty-Nine: I Can Only Tell the Story of Before I Was Six Years Old
When Aino washed his hands and walked into the kitchen, he had already tied the small apron that had been replaced by the all-purpose bed sheet around his waist.
In the basin, the fish are jumping, the shrimp are jumping, and there is a piece of mutton on the board.
Yang Fan blinked his eyes a few times, the rice had been washed into the pot, and the green onions, ginger, and garlic had been peeled, flattened, and shredded for later use.
Yang Fan blinked his eyes a few more times, and a fish had been removed from its gills, scaled, cleaned, and put into an open plate.
The condiments prepared such as green onions, shredded ginger, cooking wine, and soy sauce poured on the body of the fish with several oblique mouths, and the plate was pushed to the side, and Tian Ainu picked up the knife again.
A knife flew up and down in her hand, and in a few moments, even though it was only one hand, the mutton was a bright red slice of meat.
With a "bang", the knife stabbed into the board, the handle of the knife was still buzzing and trembling, Tian Ainu had already leaned over and added a few pieces of firewood into the stove, cleaned his hands with soap in a basin of prepared haode, picked up a few jujubes, flexibly removed the core, and threw them into the rice pot.
When the guy sent it, he had already cleaned up a fat chicken that had been stopped and cleaned it again, and stuffed it with various condiments in the abdomen to feed the flavor, the jujube meat paste porridge had been cooked, and the aroma of rice came to the nose.
Yang Fan was staring at the big fish covered with all the beards and tails under the shredded green onions and ginger in a daze, and a few pieces of cheese were thrown into the water.
The fresh fish does not need to be steamed for too long, when the fresh fragrance of the fish and the milky milk aroma escape from the edge of the pot lid with the steam flow, and Yang Fan is salivating, the fat chicken is sent into the steamer, and at this time, the pot of bouncing shrimp has been filtered out of the water and set aside.
The handshaker who leaned on the door only felt that he was very hungry, more and more hungry, but he was reluctant to walk away, he never knew that he could be so beautiful and elegant. Men don't cook, and I'm afraid that it will be difficult to even enter the kitchen door once in my life, but what if there is such a beautiful scenery in the kitchen, what if you go down to the kitchen?
Yang Fan stared at Tian Ainu with a small green cloth apron tied around his waist, with a thin waist, like a little cabbage.
In Yang Fan's opinion, she is undoubtedly the most delicious dish in the kitchen here, beautiful, and really delicious.
The delicious little cabbage is still busy in the kitchen, whether it is waving a frying spoon, picking up a kitchen knife, sprinkling chopped green onions, or cutting mutton under the knife, even her action of leaning over to add firewood is full of artistic beauty, as if she is not stir-frying, but dancing.
As if sensing Yang Fan's gaze, Tian Ainu suddenly asked without looking back, "Do you know what my favorite thing to do is?" ”
Yang Fan shook his head and said, "I don't know!" ”
Tian Ainu took a deep sniff of the aroma of the food and said excitedly: "Cook!" My favorite thing to do is to cook!! ”
Yang Fan was slightly embarrassed: It turned out that he was a foodie......
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Green onion and vinegar chicken, milk cool steamed fish, bright shrimp roast, fried mutton, jujube meat paste porridge, one by one put on several cases.
Yang Fan and Tian Ainu divided the two sides of the case, knelt and sat like a ritual, raising their eyebrows.
The dishes on the table were hearty, just no greens.
Yang Fan finally improved his life once, of course he didn't buy vegetables, and Tian Ainu didn't pick the ingredients he bought. Because since the Sui and Tang dynasties, Hu and Han have lived together, and all aspects of the Central Plains' culture, clothing, and food have been influenced by the Hu people and Hu Feng, and great changes have been made.
Yang Fan ate very fragrantly, his stomach was very round, a fat fish of one catty of eight taels and six yuan, a fat chicken of three catties and four taels, half a catty of mutton, and a plate of river shrimp were almost swept away by him, and even the pot of porridge was eaten by him for most of it. …,
Tian Ainu held the rice bowl, looked at the empty plate and asked him, "Are you a starving ghost reincarnated?" ”
Yang Fan held his round stomach and sighed: "This is the most fragrant meal I have ever eaten in my life, it's better to ...... Don't go. ”
Tianainu glanced at him and said lightly: "Can you afford to invite me as a cook?" ”
Yang Fan coughed and said, "It must be ...... Are you a chef? ”
Tian Ainu took a small sip of rice porridge, carrying a little surviving leftovers from the plate that had been swept away by Yang Fan, and ignored him at all. Yang Fan's eyes rolled, and he suddenly laughed: "I'll calculate, hey, you come to my house, it's the third day." ”
Tian Ainu raised a pair of water-cut eyes, surprised, "Huh? "Yes.
Yang Fan smiled evilly: "On the third day of the new daughter-in-law's arrival, she has to cook." ”
Tian Ainu snorted, and still ignored him with a straight face.
Yang Fan rubbed his nose and said tentatively: "By the way, you gave me that hairpin, and I actually exchanged it for two thousand eight hundred yuan, I am really becoming more and more curious about you, from your speech and demeanor, and you can take out a hairpin casually to be so valuable, you must be from a rich family, and you still need to be a thief?" ”
Tian Ainu stopped and said lightly: "You still can't help but want to ask about my background?" ”
"Uh...... You can not say. ”
Tian Ainu shook his head and said in a deep voice, "It's okay to say it. But...... I can only tell you about my life before I was six years old. ”
Yang Fan said excitedly: "That's okay, you say." ”
Tian Ainu thought quietly for a while, and said softly: "My family lives in Zhouzhi County, Guanzhong, there is nothing special in the family, my father is an ordinary farmer, with more than ten acres of dry land. In May of the first year of Yongchun, there was a great drought in Guanzhong, and the land was thousands of miles away, followed by locusts, and the crops were already dead, and they were gnawed by locusts. ”
This beginning, I'm afraid it is by no means a pleasant story, Yang Fan couldn't help but smile and listened quietly.
Tian Ainu said: "The government can't raise enough food for disaster relief, in order to survive, Grandpa (father, the most common colloquial name at that time) sold more than a dozen acres of land at home, but at that time the price of rice has risen to 10,000 yuan, this money is enough to live for a few days?" Soon, in the city and countryside, mourning was everywhere, people were cannibalizing, and the dead were sleeping on the road. ”
Tian Ainu said gloomily: "Disaster is not a single line, followed by a great plague, the victims dragged their children and daughters, begged during the day, and slept on the streets at night, many people spit yellow water in their sleep, and lay their corpses on the side of the road." At that time, there was a folk song that said: "Li Si buried Zhang San in the morning, and Li Si ascended to heaven again at noon." Liu Erwang Wu went to the funeral, and the moon fell and went to the ghost gate......
The hungry and crazy people began to do whatever it took to do so. When someone snatched the bun he had just bought and was about to catch up, the hungry man threw the bun into the horse's urine and stepped on it, and the robber had no choice but to give up, and the hungry man picked up the bun again and devoured it. The bark was stripped away, revealing the white-flowered trunk, and the leaves were gnawed away by locusts and hungry people.
Many people began to eat Guanyin soil, knowing that they would still die after eating, but they were really hungry if they didn't fill their stomachs. A man in our village sold out of land and his wife, and Zuihou buried his four-year-old son who was dying of starvation on a kang and ran for his life.
There was also a widow, whose family had hundreds of acres of land, which was very rich in the village, and it was difficult to maintain it at this time, and she had a son and a daughter, who were not very old, and in order to support her son and keep a little blood of her deceased husband, she personally pressed her young daughter into a basin of water and drowned herself. ”
Tian Ainu raised his head, looked at Yang Fan, and explained seriously: "Do you think these have nothing to do with me?" I say this just to tell you how miserable it was at that time, and many families who were far richer than my family couldn't survive. So...... No matter what my mom and dad did to me, I don't hate them, never! ”…,
Yang Fan's heart trembled slightly, staring at Tian Ainu's crystal gaze, and had the heart to tell her not to say any more, but in the face of that gaze, she couldn't even speak.
Tian Ainu was silent for a moment and continued: "Groups of hungry people traveled all the way east, to escape outside the gate and to Luoyang. The desert was full of wolves and wolf-like wild dogs, who were not afraid of man, and even went into empty villages, feeding on the remnants of human beings.
Many people in Longxi came to Guanzhong to buy wives, but they were not allowed to take children, and I saw with my own eyes a man from Longxi who put a young woman with a bit of grace on the back of a donkey, but took the child in her arms and threw it in the dry gutter. Grandpa......"
Tian Ainu's voice trembled: "In desperation, Grandpa also sold Grandma, but the food in exchange was not enough to eat for three days. Whatever it is, at that time, as long as you can have a bite to eat, as long as you can live a few more moments, what is there that you don't want to do? Many women were forced to sell their bodies, and once they sold their bodies, they could only get back a bowl of rice soup. ”
Tian Ainu let out a long breath and said faintly: "After selling the food that my mother exchanged, my grandfather stared at me directly, and I was so scared at that time, I thought that my grandfather was going to eat me, but it turned out to be ...... He just called me to a dry well and pushed me down......"
Yang Fan's body trembled, his lips moved a few times, but he couldn't say words of comfort.
Tian Ainu said: "Grandpa threw some bricks and rubble, and then he didn't know where to run for his life." ”
Yang Fan gently held her hand, her hand was cold, and she was trembling slightly, as soon as Yang Fan held her hand, she immediately held Yang Fan's hand back, clutching it tightly, as if the person who fell into the dry well grabbed a rope hanging down by a well-wisher, and refused to let go.
Yang Fan said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked this, don't say it again." ”
Tian Ainu shook his head lightly and said sadly: "The stone that Grandpa dropped hit my head, and I fainted. But I don't hate him, I really don't hate him, and he can't help it, at least...... He didn't eat me...... "Friends: Recommend votes to be powerful, sincerely ask for recommendation votes!!
