Chapter 1029: The old man who makes scallion pancakes
Sheng Xuanhao hurriedly went to Kyoto to buy something, but he ran to all the vendors who sold scallion pancakes, and they had already closed their stalls.
So Sheng Xuanhao had to anxiously find other bosses who could make scallion pancakes nearby.
"Whoever will make scallion pancakes, I will give him a high price as long as he can make them." Sheng Xuanhao said loudly.
Some people hesitated, and some people ran out and said that they would do it, so Sheng Xuanhao asked them to hurry up and make one and he took a look, but after waiting for a long time, they made a thousand strange things, and Sheng Xuanhao was angry for a while.
"If you can't do it, don't create chaos!" Sheng Xuanhao reprimanded sharply.
Those people slowly retreated, Sheng Xuanhao's eyelids slowly drooped, "Is there no one?" "But I won't, what should I do, but Le'an wants to eat scallion pancakes.
"Young man, can you let the old man give it a try?" Suddenly, an old voice slowly sounded behind him, Sheng Xuanhao quickly turned his head to look over when he heard the sound, and an old man who looked like he was in his seventies and eighties was standing behind him on crutches.
"Good, good." Sheng Xuanhao can't find any extra words, and now whoever can do it is his savior.
I saw the old man smile faintly, and then slowly walked forward to a small noodle stall next to him and said, "Borrow your land and use it." ”
The noodle stall owner was a little reluctant, and when he looked up and saw Sheng Xuanhao looking at him viciously, he had to take half a step back: "Use it, use it, it's better to have more than one thing." ”
The old man smiled and went over to start making peace, Sheng Xuanhao hurriedly ran up to help, but he couldn't do anything, so he asked the noodle stall owner to light the fire, "Give me a fire, and I will give you benefits after the matter is completed in a while." ”
The owner of the noodle stall smiled happily, "Okay, okay, this will help the guest officer to light the fire." ”
So Sheng Xuanhao stood aside and carefully learned how the old man made scallion pancakes, wanting to make them for Shen Le'an in the future.
"Young man, what are you doing in such a hurry to ask for scallion pancakes? Eat it yourself or buy it for someone in the family? The old man glanced at Sheng Xuanhao, who was looking at him seriously, and then asked.
"Buy it for the people in the family." Sheng Xuanhao said lightly, but his eyes did not leave the movements of the old man's hands.
"In this way, it must be very important, is it a lady or a parent?" The old man smiled slightly.
"Yes......" Sheng Xuanhao thought slightly, "Madam." Sheng Xuanhao finally soothed his brows, and then showed a faint smile, the old man saw that he finally smiled, and couldn't help but say, "Your lady must be very fond of the son, right?" ”
Sheng Xuanhao nodded, "I've always been satisfied." ”
"I like it." The old man muttered this sentence with endless aftertaste, but the movements in his hand did not slow down for a moment, and Sheng Xuanhao also stared at his every move, for fear of missing any detail. "I also have a lady who is very much liked by me." The old man spoke slowly.
Sheng Xuanhao looked up at the old man's eyes with a peaceful expression, "You must love her very much." ”
The old man nodded, "You, you are young and vigorous, you always have to make mistakes, just don't push away the people around you again and again, back then, I was the same, and then she followed me for many years without hesitation, but, alas, later, I couldn't survive the infectious disease, and the day after she left, Princess Anle brought someone to our town to administer medicine, but she saved me." ”
Sheng Xuanhao heard this and asked, "Then do you blame the princess for being late?" ”
The old man shook his head, then poured the oil into the pot.
"Bad luck, or rather, fate, if she hadn't died in that plague, I'm afraid she would have left because of other things later, so don't blame Her Royal Highness the princess for this, it's not easy for her, she can still stand up when Anfu doesn't want us, a woman is already grateful to Dade for being able to do this." The old man was talking, and the movements in his hands still did not stop.
Sheng Xuanhao suddenly felt that there were really some people in their seventies and eighties who could see it more clearly, not like the old foolish.
The two chatted sentence after sentence, and soon the old man made a decent cake, so he began to wash the green onions with his free hands.
"How do you know how to make scallion pancakes? Sold when you were younger? Sheng Xuanhao already had some admiration for him.
"The meaning of scallion pancakes in our Anping country is to say goodbye. The green onion is mottled on the top of the cake, and the oil is soaked in the cake, no one can distinguish who it is, but it still has to be eaten and swallowed, in fact, I don't quite understand why the meaning is goodbye, but since the founding of Anping State, it has been given meaning in this way. The old man slowly spoke and patiently said to Sheng Xuanhao.
"I was a poor boy when I was young, although I am now, but at that time I could only rely on handymen to eat and live, so I worked all kinds of handymen, and I used to work as a small worker in the dead man's shop, and later found out that as long as someone died, his family would go to buy scallion pancakes, so I quit the store and opened a scallion pancake stall to place around the dead man's shop, the business was very good, and it would be easier to make money from the dead, people, it was an indescribable thing."
Sheng Xuanhao looked at the old man thoughtfully, and the old man's eyes were slightly filled with tears.
"Okay, young man, the scallion pancake is ready, your wife wants to eat it, is someone in her mother's family deceased?" The old man picked up the cake with paper and handed it to Sheng Xuanhao.
The corners of Sheng Xuanhao's mouth showed a bitter smile slightly, and then took it, the scallion pancake was still very hot and hot.
"Yes, one of my wife's brothers has died, and she is very sad. I'm not from Anpingguo, so I don't know that the scallion pancake is this meaning. Sheng Xuanhao looked at the old man and said.
The old man coughed slightly, "People have joys and sorrows in life, old age, sickness and death, look down on it, cherish each other, who knows, who will disappear suddenly?" ”
Sheng Xuanhao drove his horse back to Pingle Village quickly, and all he thought about on the way was the old man's words, and what he was in his arms was a hot scallion pancake.
Shen Le'an woke up and found that the candlelight was flickering slightly, and suddenly thought that Brother Qi was dead, her sadness suddenly came to her heart, her eyes had begun to burst into tears, and her nose was about to cry, Xiaocui suddenly walked over.
"Princess." Xiao Cui smiled at Shen Le'an, and Shen Le'an hurriedly reached out to wipe away the tears.
"Xiaocui, why are you here?" Shen Le'an asked in surprise, how could she be in her room.
"Princess, will you drink saliva first? You've been crying so much today, it's time to rehydrate. Cui said as she handed her the water.
Shen Le'an suddenly felt a little thirsty in his throat, so he reached out and took a sip and drank it, Xiao Cui couldn't help but get up and pour her another glass, so Shen Le'an drank three or four small cups in a row before he felt thirsty.
"Sheng Gongzi is worried that you will wake up and find that it is dark around you and even more sad, so let me come over to accompany you, and I myself will also come over to accompany you." Xiao Cui showed a bitter smile at Shen Le'an.
Shen Le'an suppressed the sadness in his heart, "What about Sheng Xuanhao?" Why didn't you see him? ”
Xiaocui smiled slightly, "Sheng Gongzi personally went to buy scallion pancakes for you, and he wanted to buy them back in person." ”
Shen Le'an stopped talking, and Xiaocui pulled the quilt for her, trying her best to lie down.
