Chapter 171: Pumpkin Corn Porridge
The little fat pair was mighty, and after a while, the people in the hall dispersed in all directions.
Lati came out with a new dish in her hand with a confused face, but saw that there was no one on the table, and before she could react, she was dragged back to the stove house by Xiao Shuang'er by the collar of the back of her neck.
In the hall, there was the sound of Mama Zhong knocking on the abacus, and the sound of Cui Er's washing and scrubbing, well...
Han Chuan listened carefully, and there was the sound of Lati and Xiao Shuang'er hiding in the stove house and nibbling on chicken feet.
Xu Yi looked down at the dishes on the table and smiled, "Is the food in the restaurant so good on weekdays?" ”
Han Chuan pursed his lips and smiled, looking at the three plates of new dishes on the table, a plate of lotus leaf duck, a plate of boneless chicken feet with mint and dogwood sauce, a plate of burnt mutton, and another plate of boiled lotus seed soup is considered a vegetarian dish, accompanied by pumpkin corn porridge, fragrant and soft, and the index finger moves when it smells.
Is this good?
The previous two dried abalone bubbled a lot, and Han Chuan personally cooked a abalone sauce, and one person divided a large piece...
Isn't this a homely coarse tea and light meal today?
Han Chuan scooped a bowl of pumpkin corn porridge for Xu Yi, knowing that he had just finished six parts, and he had used dinner, and he couldn't eat too much stuff that was too oily and greasy, "... What's the saying? I'd rather be a two-dollar runner in a restaurant for a year, rather than go to a gold store to be a two-tael housekeeper... Working in a restaurant without worrying about eating and drinking, the food can't be bad - when people come to eat, they see the guys with yellow faces and thin muscles as soon as they come in, and the shopkeeper is skinny, who will think that the food in this restaurant is delicious? ”
What kind of fallacy is this?
Xu Yi took the porridge bowl and couldn't help laughing.
More and more, he found that Han Chuan had many crooked reasoning.
Don't eat belly in winter, don't eat stuffing in summer, say it's cold in winter, people who clean are afraid of cold water, won't clean it well, the belly will have a smell, the weather is hot in summer, the stuffing tastes big, it's the meat is rancid and the smell is suppressed by piles of condiments...
The first time he heard it, he was stunned.
Thinking about it later, it really makes sense.
Although the shopkeeper is not very smart, it can be seen that people see things, but they are in the right place.
Xu Yi scooped a spoonful of pumpkin corn porridge and nodded slightly, the pumpkin in midsummer is particularly sweet, soft and dense, and melts in the mouth, "It's porridge, and it's also delicious." ”
Xu Yi remembered Han Chuan's first time, oh no, the first time he boiled mushroom minced egg porridge for the Nine Emperors.
Xu Yi lowered his head, stirred the porridge in the bowl, and laughed, "Your gourd jade pendant is still the porridge that I gave to Xiao Jiu in the inner dining room, and I think it's very good." At that time, I never thought that the bowl of porridge was also boiled by you, and the jade pendant finally came to you. ”
Speaking of this, Han Chuan gently raised his chin, and his face was a little hot.
Xu Yi took another piece of lotus leaf duck, chewed it carefully, swallowed it and said, "At that time, in the court late at night, the eunuch wanted to snatch your gourd jade pendant, how could you be desperate and unwilling?" ”
Han Chuan lowered his head, and when he looked up again, he smiled, "... At that time, I knew that I was going to leave the palace, and if I didn't have anything on my body, I would be desperate after leaving the palace, so I might as well fight..."
"That golden hairpin is more valuable than a gourd jade pendant." Xu Yi was not in a hurry and softly cut off Han Chuan's words, "You snatched it away with those two eunuchs." ”
Han Chuan's words were choked in his throat, and he lowered his head and stopped talking.
The little girl's face was hidden in the light that came in from the window lattice, and the outline was graceful and moving, like the beautiful and spiritual orchid hidden in the narrow and narrow leaves after waiting for a spring.
Xu Yi smiled, didn't speak, and was just about to bow his head to drink porridge, but was interrupted by the little girl's words with a little stubbornness and ruin.
"Then why did you exchange the ruby golden hairpin that Concubine Shu rewarded with carnelian? Why do you want to help Mama Chung get back the title deed? Why did Dr. Zhong dress up in disguise to diagnose and treat Lati? Why did he risk exposing his power and mediate several times in the palace to save Grandpa Bai and Sixi? ”
Han Chuan's hand was clenched very tightly, sweat broke out in her palm, she wanted to stare at Xu Yi, but she couldn't help but let her eyes fall on the sparkling tea cup on the table.
The tea soup is clear, like a polished bronze mirror.
Han Chuan saw his cowardly but hesitant eyes on the tea soup.
Han Chuan held the tea cup in his hand and shook it gently, the tea soup swayed in the small universe, and the eyes disappeared with the water ripples.
Han Chuan slowly raised his head and forced himself to look at Xu Yi, at least for now... She wants to look at Xu Yi!
"When you kill Baishi Guan and hunt Yongyi Hou?" Han Chuan opened his mouth word by word, "Why do you gently blindfold me so that I don't look at Pei Qilang's detached corpse and the firelight all over the mountains?" ”
The answer is imminent.
Just before Grandpa Bai's incident, the answer was about to come out.
Han Chuan gently swallowed the saliva secreted by nervousness, looked at Xu Yi, looked at Xu Yi's sharp and cold face, watched Xu Yi put down the bowl unhurriedly, and watched Xu Yi also raise his head and look at her seriously.
Xu Yi had a chuckle on his face, not as expressionless as before.
"I want to protect you."
Xu's voice is like the wind floating in the clouds.
"I want to avoid all the dangers in the world for you, I want you to live an easy life, I want to watch you..."
I want to see you laugh.
I don't want you to be in danger, I don't want you to be someone else's prey, I don't want you to frown at your troubles.
Is this kind of emotion love?
Xu Yi couldn't tell.
What is love?
Is it the gold, silver and jewelry that the saint rewarded when he treated his favorite concubine, or Zhang Sanlang's gains and losses to the Shang family, or the respect and respect of his colleagues and classmates for his wife?
He doesn't understand what love really is.
But Xu Yi knew that he was happy with Han Chuan.
I was happy to see Hanchuan, I was happy to hear her voice, I was happy to eat her food... Are these joys superimposed on love ?
Can he force Han Chuan to break his oath and stay by his side because of his so-called "love"?
Xu Yi let out a long sigh, "Everything I did, I never thought of putting pressure on you..."
This answer...
I want to protect you...
Don't want to stress you out...
Xu said a lot, but none of them were the expected answers.
Han Chuan's straight back bent little by little, and his tight and stubborn eyes slowly moved downward, and the courage he had saved for two lifetimes was completely deflated in an instant.
It seems that my heart is empty.
Can't say why, can't say what.
Han Chuan pulled out a smile with difficulty, and before the corners of his mouth were completely hooked, a tear fell quickly with lightning speed and smashed on the back of his smooth hand.
Han Chuan hurriedly pressed his head lower.
"If you want..."
It was as if there was a blunt knife pulling at the throat little by little.
"If you want, that oath is not counted for you."
Another tear hit the back of his hand.
Han Chuan tried to take a breath, but he couldn't stop the tears flowing.
My eyes hurt too much.
I've been crying too much these days, and my eyes are hurting too much.
Han Chuan forced himself to laugh and repeated the previous sentence, "If you want, that oath will not be counted for you." ”
Since Xu Yi's answer is not to like it, how should she repay the kindness of Grandpa Bai after saving it?
Only with herself, right?
