Chapter 196: There are no short hands on the table
Jiang Linglong was awakened by a burst of fragrance.
She was thinking that she had fallen asleep lately, when she saw the sunset outside the wide open inner door, and the river below, the cities on both sides, and the small terrace in front of her were all covered with golden sunset.
It was as if the ship was heading towards the end of the glow. Huge, yet quiet. All you can hear is the sound of the waves outside.
"Master, you're awake." Orange Moon handed a hand warmer into her blanket, "Don't worry, it's cold, you take it slowly, cover it up and get up again." ”
She turned her head, and behind Orange Moon, Xue An and Si Huang sat around a copper stove, with six pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the table where the copper stove was placed, and the top of the copper stove was steaming straight out, and the stove was rattling.
"Isn't that in a hurry?" She lifted the blanket and went down to the table, "It's a little later, there's nothing to eat in the pot." ”
She sat down next to Si Huang, who was throwing fish into the pot. The fish is sliced into slices, as thin as cicada wings, and looks very fresh.
"The boat stopped for a while just now, and the owner and Young Master Su competed in fishing." Orange Moon followed, telling the same story as Jiang Linglong, "Later, I disliked fishing slowly, so I simply cast a net to catch fish." ”
"There's a lot of stuff to get in! I heard that there are also river crabs! ”
"Just sent the fish and meat to the dining room, and the owner asked Xiao Shizi to be responsible for putting it in the pot, and then take out the boiled ones and don't cook them for cooking."
No wonder Si Huang would do it in front of people.
Jiang Linglong bowed her head and took a piece of fish from the pot and sent it to her mouth. She frowned. It made Orange Moon and Xue An laugh.
"The bottom of this pot is delicious!" She couldn't help but praise with her thumb, and sandwiched another piece of mutton, which was also so tender that she screamed.
The mutton is not fat at all, and it is extra fresh with a hint of sweetness.
How is this done?!
"Of course it's delicious!" Orange Moon looked proud, "This is the signature of Jin Cuixuan in winter!" In previous years, in the winter of Zhuangzi, everyone would eat a copper stove pot together, and you were not good at eating lightly before, so you couldn't taste this bite. This time, the owner prepared a copper stove pot early in the morning, and said that you like to be lively, and everyone eats together, you must like it. ”
Jiang Linglong remembered that she was far away in the box of the county lord's mansion, and those solidly pressed land deeds had appeared in Jin Cuixuan's address.
Does this count as self-sufficiency?
She nodded, "In the first two years, I really missed too much. As he spoke, he put mutton in Si Huang's bowl again, "Don't patronize the fish, eat it yourself." Si Huang obediently bowed his head and took a bite.
He looked as usual, but he shook the two delicate eyebrows on a pair of phoenix eyes.
The crowd laughed.
It was not the first time that Xue An had eaten at the same table with this master, so he was not inhibited and had a good meal.
Jiang Linglong looked left and right.
"What about them?"
"When I closed the net, I got my robe dirty and went to change my clothes. Oh, Dr. He invited, and he said he was going to catch up on sleep, and he didn't come. "Orange Moon added.
He leisurely lived in Qiluo Fang for a long time, and the time to close his eyes every day is famous.
What's more, he has been really busy enough recently.
Jiang Linglong left him to go.
As he spoke, there was a slight sound of footsteps downstairs.
Su Jinyu pushed open the door of the pavilion, pointed to the edge of the table and said backwards, "Master, I said that Madame must be up!" The bottom of Jin Cuixuan's pot is so fragrant, who can stand it! ”
He changed into a set of perilla robes, which looked more restrained and heroic than before.
Kuang Yu entered the cabinet together behind him, dressed in a moon-white regular dress embroidered with Xiangyun patterns, and dyed golden orange when the sun shined, which was very in line with his image of an invisible rich man. Low-key and elegant, rich in the world.
"Awake?" He walked towards Jiang Linglong and asked her gently, "Have you eaten?" What do you think? ”
The harvest chick pecked at the rice-like nod.
Kwong Yuyi smiled.
Jiang Linglong put a bunch of things in the bowl for him, and recommended everything.
She hadn't tasted Jin Cuixuan's copper stove pot, but he ate it every year. Originally, it was the first snow of the year for the Kuang family, and the family gathered together to deposit the banquet of Cuixuan and sent it to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a lively family habit.
Nowadays, things are not people.
The Sending Cloud Villa has always retained this habit, like a ritual, and only by doing it can you feel at ease.
But this time, when it snowed for the first time, he forgot to eat the copper stove pot.
This winter was the first year that he had taken off one burden and taken on another.
It's almost spring.
He took a piece of chopsticks and fish fillet, dipped it in the prepared sauce, and put it in his mouth.
Delicious.
When I came back in the early morning, I was all at home.
Su Jinwu sat down next to Kuang Yu's other side, Xue An on the other side, and Orange Moon on the opposite side.
Between Orange Moon and Jiang Linglong sat Si Huang.
He looked at Kuang Yu and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, so he looked away and happened to see the red rope hanging around Orange Yue's neck.
Laughed too.
This journey has not been easy.
Now, everyone has been wronged and made a wish.
Especially the master.
No matter how handsome and comfortable he is in front of people, but in his bones, he has always been tense.
Since she met her wife, Su Jinyu gradually realized why Kuang Yu risked being exposed to marry at that time, and even told her everything honestly.
It's like a boat on the waves finding a harbor.
From then on, he was no longer afraid of the winds and waves of the world, because he knew that even if the boat was damaged and the oars were broken, as long as he returned, he would be able to repair it and set sail again.
He peeked at the orange moon again.
It was discovered that Orange Moon was also watching him.
The two of them avoided their gaze as if they were suspicious, and their cheeks were slightly red.
"Madam, I respect you!" Su Jinyu raised her glass and replaced the wine with tea.
Xue An looked at the four people except Si Huang, and gave birth to a kind of peace and melancholy for no reason.
The cool breeze was wrapped in the heat of the copper stove, and he sat in the curtain, tasting the fireworks in the world.
If only Zhong Lei was also there, it would be great.
"You have to respect Xue An." Jiang Linglong's voice pulled back his thoughts, and he heard her say to Su Jinyu, "When people are plagued, they help you take turns guarding together." ”
Su Jin said yes and saluted him again. Xue An glanced at Jiang Linglong, whose mind fell on the copper pot, and returned to Su Jinyu.
Jiang Linglong took the opportunity to put the last piece of fish meat in Kuang Yu's bowl.
"Oh master!" Orange Moon is not happy, "You are eccentric!" ”
"What kind of heart?" Jiang Linglong taught Orange Moon earnestly, "There are no short hands on the table. ”
The boss on the side looked at his arm with chopsticks and nodded blankly.
"Xiao Shizi, you are so biased, the slave won't make sugar water for you!"
"Huang'er is not afraid, we have a dining room!"
Si Huang didn't speak, but took a slice of the fish meat in his bowl and put it in the orange moon bowl.
Blatantly for the sake of sugar water.
Su Jinwu went to see Kuang Yu, he was drinking tea, and noticed that he was looking sideways behind his gaze, and there was a kind of relaxation and pleasure in his eyes.
Su Jinyu raised her glass and clenched her fists, raised her head and drank it all.
There was a lonely bird flying in the sky, and the sun had already set on the river in a semicircle.
On the merchant ship Xunyun, the lights gradually turned on, reflecting the glow of the sky.
