Chapter 42: The Taste Under the Stars
In fact, I don't know what is the most beautiful. After so many years, the deepest memory in my memory seems to be lying on the rocking chair when I was a child, sitting in my yard, the grapevines planted by my mother exuding an alluring aroma, and my dog circling around the chaise longue, lying at my feet and sticking out my tongue to fall asleep when I was tired.
And looking up is the starry sky, starlight mixed with moonlight sprinkled on the mortal world, stuffing a grape into his mouth, stimulated by the green taste and frowning. Mixed with the cool night breeze, I feel that the summer heat is mixed with worries and nothing.
And now what is reflected in Yang Yiwen's eyes is the stars in the sky. Falling through the transparent glass ceiling, the lights in the room had already been turned off by Mu Chao, leaving only the starlight. And the spaceship is indeed moving, and the stars are getting farther and closer with the distance of the spaceship. Some are around, some are thousands of miles apart. It's like traveling through the Milky Way.
Yang Yiwen looked at the starry sky, subconsciously licked his lips, and suddenly wanted to eat something sour, just like the green grapes he ate when he was in the courtyard of the orphanage.
In fact, many of the scenes that exist in our memories are not very obvious, but the taste of which food makes them appear alive in their lives.
"Mu Chao, I seem to be a little hungry." Yang Yiwen looked at the person next to him for a while and said softly.
"Hey! What do you want to eat? "Mu Chao still thinks that Yang Yiwen wants to say something to himself? I didn't expect it to be this sentence, I was a little stunned at the moment, and I subconsciously received it.
"Let's go, I'll take you to make something to eat." Yang Yiwen looked at the person in front of him who was a little stupid, but he remembered to ask what he wanted to eat for the first time.
"Okay! Let's go, didn't you say you're hungry? I'm going to help you wash the dishes and do the work. Mu Chao skillfully took Yang Yiwen's hand and walked towards the kitchen.
So the person who was supposed to lie on the floor counting stars one by one turned into holding hands and going to the kitchen to fill his stomach.
"What do you want to eat?" Mu Chao rolled up his sleeves and helped Yang Yiwen carry the apron. The slightly squatting body made Mu Chao's voice spill behind Yang Yiwen's ears.
Yang Yiwen tilted his body slightly, counted the food in his space, and counted while taking it: "Vinegared cabbage, sweet and sour short ribs, vinegared pork segments, sour soup noodles, yellow fat beef soup." ”
"Why are they all sour dishes?" Mu Chao pinched Yang Yiwen's nose.
"Hmm, do you just want to eat sour?" Yang Yiwen hugged Mu Chao's waist and looked up at Mu Chao.
"Okay, then I'll wash the vegetables for you." Mu Chao can stand Yang Yiwen's coquettishness, and he usually holds people in the palm of his hand, don't you want anything to give this coquettishness?
"Hmm. Good! Yang Yiwen knocked the sour fruit into the bowl, fortunately, the vinegar and soy sauce and oil in this world are ready-made, otherwise you have to squeeze the oil yourself and dry the soy sauce, which will really kill you.
Slice the yellow slices, put them in an oil pan, add minced ginger and stir-fry them, then add water to simmer, and cut the beef into thin slices for marinating.
On the other side, heat the oil, put in the marinated meat and stir-fry, and when the meat begins to change color, pour in the sweet and sour sauce that was fried before, and slowly stir-fry the spoon at the bottom of the pot.
"Try it, if it's delicious." Yang Yiwen picked up a piece of meat from the pot, blew it, and handed it to Mu Chao's eyes.
"Hmm! It's delicious! Mu Chao was amazed.
"Come, take it aside. I'm going to stir up the next dish. Yang Yiwen took the vegetables out of the pot, handed them to Mu Chao, turned around and continued to fry sweet and sour short ribs.
Mu Chao stood next to him with the meat section, watching Yang Yiwen stir-fry while eating, and when Yang Yiwen was free, Jiang Rou Duan handed it over, and the two of them cooked while eating, and after a while, the sweet and sour chops in the pot showed an attractive yellow-brown color, Yang Yiwen grabbed a handful of sesame seeds and threw them into the pot, while one hand kept turning the pot, and in an instant, the sweet and sour chops were wrapped with a layer of white sesame seeds, which was full of fresh fragrance.
Mu Chao chewed the meat in his mouth, but his eyes were fixed on the sweet and sour chops in the pot, typically, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, but there was no way, the main thing was that Yang Yiwen's craftsmanship was really good, but the food was all his daughter-in-law's things, and no one dared to say anything at that time.
The two were cooking and eating in the kitchen, and the time passed inadvertently, but fortunately, Yang Yiwen still remembered to leave a few dishes for Mao Tuanzi in the space.
"Yiwen, the rice you cooked is really delicious." Mu Chao held a bowl of Huangfan Fat Beef Soup, scooped up a fat cow with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, and used practical actions to show how delicious the rice cooked by Yang Yiwen was.
"Well, eat more!" In fact, Yang Yiwen said that he was hungry before, but after seeing the starry sky, he thought of the taste of sour grapes before, and it was not his stomach that was hungry, but the emotion in the depths of his memory.
It's like when we've been away from home for a long time, every time we call our parents or come home, we will shout that we are hungry and want to eat, but what we are hungry is our longing for the taste of home and our emotions for our family. (Every time I call, I will ask if the fruits or vegetables grown at home are ripe, and I can't eat them in time, and I will feel very happy when I hear the description of the taste.) And every time I go home, I will coquettishly ask my mother to cook a big table of dishes. )
Now Yang Yiwen looked up at the starry sky, and suddenly felt that this person by his side seemed to be more delicious than the original sour grapes, it turned out that the same scenery, the people who accompanied him were different, and the impression of the food in his heart was not the same.
Smiled and looked at the person in front of him, stretched out his hand, and picked up the vegetables.
The two of them smiled under the starry sky, without any words, but as if they had opened their hearts.
Mao Tuanzi slept with his tail in He Yang's room, probably due to the previous noodles, or he was tired of chasing Mao Tuanzi in the afternoon, He Yang was not guarding Mao Tuanzi and ravaging. Mao Tuanzi is lying on the bed, but he sleeps peacefully. I don't know why Li Yang stayed in this room, or shared a bed with He Yang.
Before going to bed, Mao Tuanzi was a little surprised, after all, He Yang didn't look like he was open to Li Yang at all, how could it be so fast.
"He Yang, how did Li Yang live here?" Mao Tuanzi looked at the two curiously.
"Oh, of course, he said, and he will be in charge of cleaning after living here. How's that for the free babysitter I was looking for. He Yang had a triumphant expression.
Mao Tuanzi covered his head with his little paws, he was speechless, aren't there robots now? Where do you need to pack up this thing, I want to remind you out loud, but thinking about He Yang's previous attitude towards him, he fell asleep holding his tail.
"Smash it, smash it!" Mao Tuanzi is estimated to be hungry, when he followed Yang Yiwen in the past, Yang Yiwen would always prepare some snacks for Mao Tuanzi to eat at night. So Mao Tuanzi, who woke up in the middle of the night, smashed his mouth while thinking about the previous snacks.
Consciousness involuntarily spread towards the space, and there was a click. A rib fell uncontrollably on Mao Tuanzi's body, hugged it, and gnawed it. Immediately after that, one, two, three. So when I got up the next morning, there was a pile of bones around Mao Tuanzi. Fortunately, this product didn't make Huangfan fat beef soup when he didn't realize it, otherwise it would be miserable.
"Mu Chao, take me out for a walk, by the way, go to find Mao Tuanzi, I feel like I'm crazy, I didn't find him all day yesterday, but I ate all the food left in the space." Yang Yiwen stuffed the last fried dumpling and said.
"Alright, let's go!" To be honest, going for a walk with Yang Yiwen Mu Chao definitely doesn't have any opinions, but if he goes to find Mao Tuanzi, and by the way, he will meet those two goods, and Mu Chao's heart will be a little entangled in the two-person world that disturbs him.
"The general is good, Yang Shao is good." Along the way, people kept greeting Mu Chao and Yang Yiwen, and Mu Chao nodded slightly. Then he turned around and continued to introduce to Yang Yiwen the facilities and functions of the entire spaceship.
"Hey, did you see it, the general seems to be smiling!"
"I saw it too, hey, by the way, you pinched me to see if I was dreaming?"
Behind Mu Chao, a group of people watched Yang Yiwen and Mu Chao's backs whispering.
"Well, I'll pinch it for you!" When the man next to him heard this, he directly reached out and pinched it violently.
"Tear! It hurts, it doesn't look like it's a dream! That's true, it turns out that the general really laughs! I'll have to go tomorrow to see if the sun rises in the west. The person who asked was even more amused, touching his pinched arm and continuing to sigh.
"What is this, the general has been smiling in front of his wife. Let me tell you, yesterday morning I saw the General carrying his wife into the spaceship. Another soldier looked at the group of people who didn't know how to come over and said.
"Really?" A group of soldiers approached the man who spoke. There is no way, this group of soldiers is already on the spaceship, and some of them came from behind, but they didn't see the scene where Mu Chao hugged Yang Yiwen on the spaceship, and they all surrounded and asked to say more.
"Of course, you don't know that the general was gentle when he hugged his wife." The man who spoke looked at the people around him showing off more and more, and kept talking, not remembering the shocked expression when he saw his general hugging his wife in the morning.
"Are you usually too serious about them?" Yang Yiwen asked Mu Chao as he walked. I saw that where they walked past, everyone stood in a proper manner and greeted them.
"No, do you think I'm serious about you?" Mu Chao took advantage of Yang Yiwen's inattention, leaned over and stole a fragrant kiss and said a little tricky.
Yang Yiwen looked at the people close to him, and slightly refused, this didn't seem to be a serious person.
"Be careful!" The spaceship suddenly shook, and Mu Chao hurriedly hugged Yang Yiwen and leaned against the wall, which prevented Yang Yiwen's head from hitting the wall.
"I'm fine, how are you?" Yang Yiwen nervously grabbed Mu Chao's shoulder and leaned over to see if Mu Chao's back was injured, just now when Mu Chao was protecting himself, it seemed that his back clattered and hit the wall.
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt much!" Looking at Yang Yiwen's worried eyes, what Mu Chao was about to say suddenly turned into a very painful one when he said that it was okay.
