Modern Chapter 033 - Acacia Candy (33)

"Peach blossom crisp, there are indeed delicious ones that are made, and there are those that are not delicious."

"Yes, I understand that although I don't have any special requirements for food, there is indeed a difference between something that is delicious and something that is not delicious." The young man's hand shook again: "Xia Xia is like me, she doesn't have any special requirements for food, at least in the years we have been in love and married, I haven't found that she is particularly attached to something." Xia Xia is a woman with very good self-control and self-control, she has been married for so many years, she has always controlled her diet very well, and her daily meals are all meat and vegetarian matching, and there is absolutely no perfunctory. She eats dim sum occasionally, but only for a few bites, and most of the time, she is willing to make it herself. Peach blossom crisp, she has made it before, but every time she finishes it, she doesn't taste it, so she wrinkles her brows. After she got sick, we all thought that she was obsessed with her peach blossom cake not being good enough, so she would think about it in our hearts, and later found that she seemed to want to find something through the peach blossom cake. ”

"Looking for something?"

"Taste, or rather memory." The young man's eyebrows also rose: "I can't say clearly, because even my wife, Xia Xia, can't say it clearly." ”

"Well, while I may not be able to help your wife, I do know that there is a place where the peach blossom crisp is particularly delicious." Xing Ruyi thought of the peach blossom crisp made by Yuweaving, and couldn't help but turn out a trace of peach blossom breath in his mouth: "If you come again at this time tomorrow, I will hand over the peach blossom crisp I found to you." ”

"Thank you, thank you shopkeeper." The young man stood up: "I know the rules of the Ruyi Rouge Shop, and I also know that it is not necessary to come here to buy things, and I am willing to give everything I can." What the shopkeeper needs, just say. ”

"The deal hasn't been done yet, so why should I ask you for something?" Xing Ruyi shook her head lightly and smiled: "If your wife likes the peach blossom cake I found for her, you will pay me again." If she doesn't like it, I won't take anything. ”

"That's embarrassing." The young man stood stiffly.

"It's okay, I'll be waiting for you at the rouge shop this time tomorrow." Xing Ruyi waved his hand, and the bamboo forest outside shook a few times, and the young man who appeared in the rouge shop out of thin air disappeared out of thin air.

"The peach blossom crisp you said is the one made of jade weaving?"

"You've guessed it." Xing Ruyi leaned back and leaned into the fox's arms: "My husband is great." ”

"Only now?"

"Maybe I knew it before." Xing Ruyi turned around and looked at the fox's pretty face: "I always think that you are not an ordinary person, who are you?" Why do you have such a strange rouge shop, why do you know someone as powerful as Yuori, and also, isn't there any formation in the peach forest of Yuweaving, so ordinary people can't see it? ”

"With so many questions, which one do you want me to answer first?"

"Who are you?"

"I am your husband and your husband."

"There was no sincerity in the answer." Xing Ruyi sighed: "Forget it, let's talk about it when you are willing to tell me in the future." Now, will you take me to Tamaori? The peach blossom cake she made is really delicious in the world. ”

"She does it averagely, not as well as you, but the peach blossoms she uses are different from those elsewhere."

"yes, I haven't seen her peach blossoms before."

"Have you ever heard of Peach?"

"You mean the Queen Mother's one?"

The fox nodded and gently scratched Xing Ruyi's nose: "The peach blossom petals used in the jade weaving to make the peach blossom crisp are the peach blossom petals." ”

"So, you mean, I can live a hundred years and live forever?"

"It's not magical." The fox smiled and hugged Xing Ruyi into his arms: "I've read that mythical story, don't you think it's a bit foolish about the peach." For the immortals, he was originally immortal, if there was no heavenly calamity, he could live for ten thousand years, and the little life span increased by the peach was meaningless to them at all. The fruit of the gods can't be eaten at all, and they can't be eaten, so why emphasize the magic of the peach? ”

"Listening to you say that, it seems to make some sense." Xing Ruyi nodded: "Then wouldn't my peach blossom cake be eaten in vain." Pan Taoye, the most well-known promotion brand of the Queen Mother. ”

"It's not for nothing, it's still a little useful."

"For example......"

"The peach blossom crisp made of peaches tastes better."

Xing Ruyi rolled her eyes and heard the fox's sullen laughter.

The peach forest is still the peach forest, all the peach blossoms seem to be always blooming and undefeated, looking for the main peach tree, there is not a single broken peach blossom.

Yuori rubbed the dough in the peach blossom-shaped wooden basin with peach blossom water in her hands, her hair hanging down, and there was also a peach blossom between her temples. The fire next to it is booming, and the peach blossom cake that is being made is resting on the stove, and the fragrance is emanating from the cage drawer, mixing with the peach blossom fragrance in front of it.

"That person of yours is a woman?"

"Well, her name is Xia Xia, and she should be a gentle girl."

"It's a woman." Yuzhi didn't seem to hear Xing Ruyi's words clearly, just stared at the dough in the basin, with a hint of loss in his tone: "I thought it was him." ”

"Him?"

"Hmm." Yuori nodded: "A person who has made me miss and miss for a long time, but I don't know, where he is now, I still remember Yuori, and I don't remember the peach blossom cake made by Yuori." ”

"Has anyone else been to this peach grove? I always feel that this is a place where only immortals can live, and you are a little fairy who has fallen into the mortal world and hidden in the world. ”

"I'm not a fairy, I'm a demon." Yuzhi looked up, looked at Xing Ruyi and smiled.

"Demons, too, are legendary things."

"The tree lives for a hundred years, the catastrophe becomes a demon, the demon cultivates for a hundred years, the catastrophe becomes an adult, and the person cultivates for a hundred years, but by chance it becomes an immortal and a god. Isn't that how it's written in the story? Yuori said lightly: "I am still a year away from becoming an adult." ”

"What's so good about being a man, it's me, I'd rather be a free demon."

"That's because we are all women, women are affectionate, and whatever they fall in love with, they want to be." Tamaori dipped the peach blossom petals in water and gently placed them on the pastry that had already been made: "He is a scholar, wearing a tunic and glasses, and always carrying a well-washed cloth bag on his back. The bag contained a lot of things, including his books, letters from girls to him, and snacks wrapped in oiled paper. ”

Tunic? Republic of China style!

Yuori heard the voice in her heart, and nodded with a smile: "It's been many years." At that time, I couldn't become what I am now, just an old tree that looked old to outsiders. Every morning, he would ride a brand new bicycle under the peach trees, the sun shining on his face, and he would look up and say to me that it was morning. At first, I didn't want to pay attention to him, because I had met so many people and experienced so many things in hundreds of years, and I still remember his wife and grandfather. But as the days went by, I waved my peach branch and gave him a little response.

On days when he wasn't at school, he would ride his bicycle, carry his cloth bag under the tree, lean against me to read, eat snacks, and open the letters written to him by the girls one by one, and read them softly in a nice voice. He laughed as he read it, and his laughter was crisp and pleasant, as if he were reading an article that he thought was good. Occasionally, he would pat me on the branch and ask me how the girls liked him, he was so ordinary, so uninteresting.

I don't know how to answer him because I think he's very good, and I even like him a little bit. ”

"And then?"

"One day he came under the tree and told me he was leaving. He said that the flames of war have burned to his homeland, and as a man, if he cannot be loyal to the country, how can he be worthy of being a man. That day, the sun was shining, but there was not a smile on his face. Three years later, he returned, missing an arm, and his handsome face was scarred and looked a little hideous. He said he was a piece of shit. ”

"Not everyone is lucky enough to be a hero on the battlefield."

Xing Ruyi had never experienced war, but she had seen a few ordinary soldiers who had come out of the war. They have no dazzling feats, only lifelong scars left after escaping death from the battlefield. They are also heroes, but they have not been remembered by history, and even many years later, no one remembers that they also fought on the battlefield and experienced the smoke of gunpowder.

"You're right, not everyone is lucky enough to be a hero on the battlefield. He's a scholar and has a vengeance, but he doesn't have that much luck. He was just an ordinary soldier, although he fought as hard as everyone else, but a cannonball that fell beside him stopped him from continuing to be loyal to his country and throwing his blood. He didn't die, he survived, he returned to his hometown with his wounds and the only arm left.

He never went under a tree again, and stayed at home all day, and all I could hear was complaints and even mockery of him. Finally, I survived the thunderstorm and went to his door with the snacks I had made. At that time, he was already an old man with vicissitudes of life, and his eyes were empty and blank. I gave him the peach blossom cake I had made, and he took a bite and suddenly cried. At that time, he was as fragile as a child who urgently needed his mother's protection.

I asked him what he would most like to do if he could turn back time.

He said, find a girl you like and live an ordinary life.

I asked him, do you want to go to war again?

He looked at his stump and said nothing.

I asked him what kind of girl he wanted to marry.

He looked at me and pointed at me.

I asked him, should I marry him?

He said he was old and would marry me if there was a next life.

I told him that I remembered and that I would wait for him and wait for him to come back to me in the next life. ”

Yuzhi wrapped the finished peach blossom cake in paper and handed it to Xing Ruyi.

"Accident? This is the story of me and him, is it a little different from what you think. ”

"It's a different story, but it's also very good."

Xing Ruyi looked at Yuori and didn't know what to say, just like she didn't know if Yuori was telling her story or the stories of others.
