"But there's no soy sauce at home." Torrential rain said. She originally bought this fish for stew.

"I'll buy it." Chen Yuyao put down the watermelon, took out a tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth, "Do you need to buy anything else?" ”

Rushing Rain thought for a while, "Buy another handful of cress, I want to fry shrimp." ”

Chen Yuyao likes to eat shrimp the most. When he heard this, he immediately said, "It's better to change the chicken head and fry the rice." ”

Chicken head rice is known as "ginseng in water", that is, fresh starch food.

In the vegetable market this season, you can hear the sound of iron nails rubbing against the shells from the early morning. The skilled "rice peeler" with iron nails scratched two or three times, and the crystal round chicken head rice fell on the jade plate and rolled down.

Seven or eight chicken axes only produce a pound of chicken head rice, and a pound of chicken head rice, just peeling, it takes an hour.

To put it bluntly, it's all hard-earned money.

Chicken head rice is to the people of S City, just like salted duck is to the people of Nanjing, honey sauce barbecued pork is to the people of Guangzhou, and mutton steamed buns are to the people of Xi'an. In terms of price, it would be more appropriate to say that this sentence is "like foie gras to the French".

Chen Yuyao will really enjoy it.

"Okay." Torrential rain said quietly, "Mr. Landlord." ”

Chen Yuyao was stunned and said vaguely, "I went." ”

The setting sun shattered on the horizon, and the debris flew up, gradually turning into a beacon of light, making everything in the world extraordinarily distinct.

Peel off the hard skin of the watermelon in the rainstorm, wash it and cut it into thin slices. With the marinated lean pork, a plate of dishes was stir-fried.

With steamed sea bass, chicken head rice fried shrimp, the taste is extremely fresh, and the rain also burned a bowl of soybean pot pig's feet, which should be pasted with "autumn fat". When Chen Yuyao is away, he likes to turn on the TV when he eats in the rain. In order to make a little noise in the room, it seems to be more lively during the meal.

At the moment, the two people are eating face to face, occasionally sandwiching dishes for each other, except for the slight sound of touching porcelain, they don't say much, but Rush Yu is very down-to-earth and satisfied.

After eating, Chen Yuyao took the initiative to collect the dishes and chopsticks and went to the kitchen. In the torrential rain, put the unfinished dishes in the refrigerator one by one with plastic wrap.

The kitchen was not large, so Chen Yuyao refused her offer to help. Torrential rain put on a song on his phone, changed into sportswear and prepared to go downstairs.

"Wait for me." Chen Yuyao said.

Torrential Rain thought for a moment, "Okay." ”

Chen Yuyao dried his hands, changed into a pair of sneakers and went downstairs with her.

The two of them went out of the community and walked around the river around the city. The night view of the riverside in S City is charming because of the brilliant lights.

Hexagonal palace lanterns are hung high on the shore, and even strings of pearl-like lanterns are entwined between the treetops, like twinkling stars in the Milky Way. The landscape lights at the pier shine on the wide river surface, a piece of gold.

Nearby is the sound of the motor of the cruise ship of the ancient canal, and the singing in the distance is loud, and the sound of silk and bamboo is leisurely. "There are a few degrees of flowers, a few days of flowers, and it is unforgettable to remember the purple bamboo ......tune in my hometown."

Open your eyes, close your eyes, it's all Jiangnan. The evening breeze brings a fragrant fragrance of flowers.

"Ah wants to buy jasmine ......" where I passed by, there was a flower seller in cloth clothes shouting on the side of the road.

"Would you like to buy one?" Chen Yuyao asked her.

The torrential rain stopped and sniffed a little of the old elegance left over from this ancient city.

White orchids, jasmine, tortoiseshells, and called the local "three flowers". Among them, the white orchid is the most delicate and the most loved by the locals.

In the past, local ladies and ladies had the habit of bringing white orchids. They bought fresh and moist white orchids from the grandmother who walked the streets, carefully wrapped them in handkerchiefs, put them into the buttons of the cardigan, and put them close to their armpits. ”

According to the flower seller, the white orchids were sold out in the morning.

Chen Yuyao turned around and walked to the front of the stall, squatted down and picked up a bunch of jasmine flowers and asked, "How many tongtian?" (S local call: how much)

"3 pieces." Selling flowers and grandma said.

Rushing rain stepped forward and said, "Just buy 1 bunch." ”

Speaking of which, she actually likes tortoiseshell flowers the most among the "three flowers". But its flowering period has long passed.

"Buy two strings of five." Grandma said.

"Okay." Chen Yuyao took out a ten-yuan bill and handed it to her, "Then one string per person." ”

Torrential Rain said, "Okay. She put on the handkerchief herself, and then helped Chen Yuyao put it on her right hand. He habitually wears a watch on his left hand.

"Do you like tortoiseshells the most?" Chen Yuyao casually stuffed the recovered change into his pocket and asked.

Rushing rain flashed with surprise, "How do you know?" ”

"Grandma said that the white orchids were sold out in the morning, and you didn't show any disappointment, and when you saw the jasmine, you weren't particularly happy." Chen Yuyao said, "But the shouting of the flower seller made you stop, it seems that you really like tortoiseshell flowers." ”

I knew no, but I couldn't help but look back.

After listening to Chen Yuyao's words, the rain stopped talking.

"What's wrong?"

"I feel like I'm a transparent person in front of you." Gu Nianzhu often said that her mind was difficult to understand. As a result, when it came to Chen Yuyao, he could see through it at a glance.

Chen Yuyao smiled and asked, "Scared?" ”

"Hmm." Rushing rain said, "People are hard to dismantle." ”

"What do you mean?" Chen Yuyao asked.

Just a hint of confusion he showed made Rushing Rain feel a little proud in his heart. "Oh, there's something you don't know."

"It's not an idiom, is it?"

Rushing Rain grinned "grin" and wrote "just won't tell you" on his face. Chen Yuyao walked forward with a bluffed face, deliberately leaving her behind.

Rushing rain hurriedly chased after him, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you." ”

Chen Yuyao put his hands in his pockets and turned around to look at her.

"Life is hard enough, some things should not be debunked." Torrential rain said.

"Oh. It's like that time in the morning. Chen Yuyao said, "I know that you are talking nonsense, but I still turn a blind eye." ”

You still dare to make it early. The torrential rain couldn't hit one place, and he was determined to demolish the difficult parts of Chen Yuyao's life, "Why did you suddenly remember to move back?" Came back to look at me? ”

"Not really." Chen Yuyao did not deny it, "I have no place to stay." ”

Rushing Yu snorted coldly, thinking that Chen Yuyao would not make a draft if he lied now. "Brother Yuyao, can you see through what I'm thinking now?"

"You don't believe what I say." Chen Yuyao said, "And he tried to scold me secretly." ”

"......," Torrential Rain said, "aren't you the owner of the house?" Move back in, move back, and I can't say anything as a tenant. The point is, are you moving back like this, aren't you afraid that others will find out and misunderstand? ”

She finally asked.

Chen Yuyao said quietly, "I broke up with Xu Nian. ”

"For ...... Why? Rushing Yu was stunned and swallowed the sentence "It won't be for me".

But Chen Yuyao could never understand what she didn't say, and he said, "It's not because of you." ”

"What's the reason for that?" Rushing rain said in a low voice, "Sister Niannian, she is very good." It's good for you, too. ”

"You like her a lot, huh?" Chen Yuyao asked her.

"It doesn't matter if I like her or not." Torrential Rain said, "The important thing is that you like it." ”

"Actually, I've always wanted to ask you, why do you have a completely different attitude towards Cheng Fei and Xu Nian?"

"Because they're not different, they're showing up at different times." The rain gave way to a middle-aged man walking a Labrador in the back.

An oncoming couple led two teddies, one black and one gray. The hair on his body was trimmed, his head was big, his body was small, his face was ignorant and fearless, and he shouted at the Labrador from a foot away.

Chen Yuyao sat down on the bench with her to rest, and then asked her, "How is it different?" ”

"As soon as she showed up, she was going to fight me." Rushing Rain lowered his head and kicked the grass under his feet, "I delayed this false name in vain, and I didn't ...... you"

Chen Yuyao's face became strange when he heard this, and finally he couldn't hold back his laughter and knocked her a "burst", "How old are you, what do you want me to ......?"

Rushing Rain raised his hand to cover his head, "You asked me to say it!" I'm telling the truth, and you're knocking on me again......" was very dissatisfied.

"Okay, okay, you go on." Chen Yuyao coaxed, "No matter what I hear, I promise not to knock you." ”

"Where did I go?"

"Speaking of what you want to do to me...... Chen Yuyao gave a friendly reminder.

"Oh, I remember." Rushing rain said, "Then when Xu Nian appeared, you had already made it clear to me, and I also figured it out." Then I saw that she was not bad to you, and when I saw that you were wet and wiped the rain on your head and face, her eyes were so gentle......" Chen Yuyao had a guilty look on his face and looked into the distance.

"She's not bad to me. It also taught me ......" Torrential Rain paused, "taught me a lot. ”

"That's why you have such a different attitude towards them?" Chen Yuyao asked.

Torrential rain was able to withdraw his emotions so quickly, which surprised him and felt a little ...... at the same time Accurate.

Rushing Yu nodded, looked at him, and asked seriously again, "Why did you break up with Sister Niannian?" ”

"Because I found out that I didn't love her that much. I don't want to delay her any longer. Chen Yuyao said. How many relationships have you been into? Rushing Rain asked.

"I ......," Chen Yuyao tilted his head, "I won't tell you." He flicked the jasmine bracelet off his wrist and played with it for a while and placed it on the bench.

"Anyway, there should be a lot." Rushing Rain looked at him earnestly, "Brother Yuyao, people are easy to become numb when they fall in love too much, and it will become a habit if they break up too much." ”

"It's as if you've experienced it." Chen Yuyao laughed at her with great fanfare.

"I've never eaten pork, and I've seen pigs run." Torrential rain said.

"People are small and ghosts are big." Chen Yuyao stretched and stood up, "Let's go forward." ”

"Hmm." Rushing Rain got up, picked up the jasmine that he had left on the bench, took it in his hand and walked forward.

When Chen Yuyao saw it, he couldn't help but say, "By the way, you haven't told me yet, why do you like tortoiseshells?" ”

"Of course it's fun." "The flowers are white, but the fruits are green in the summer, orange in the winter, and green again in the next summer." The cycle starts again and again, and it does not wither for several years, so the 'tortoiseshell flower' is also called 'back to the green orange'. ”

Chen Yuyao is not good at cropping, and listens to it with relish. Then he said, "It turned out to be the 'chameleon' in the flower." ”

Rushing Rain gave him a strange look, "There's more to tortoiseshell than that. ”

Chen Yuyao saw her wearing the tortoiseshell flower string on her wrist, and then asked, "What else?" ”

Its fruit can grow the same tree for several generations, so it also has the name "Gongsun Mandarin". ”

"Gongsun Ju?" Chen Yuyao said, "Do you know that there is a kind of green kumquat in Hainan that is also called this name?" ”

Rapid Rain asked, "The fruit of the tortoiseshell is not to be eaten." And what about green kumquats? ”

"You can eat it." Chen Yuyao said, "And it is included in the seasoning used when eating white-cut Wenchang chicken." The sourness of the fruit brings out the sweetness of the chicken even more...... "He squinted his eyes slightly, as if he was reminiscing, "When your college entrance examination is over, I'll take you to eat...... You'll love it. ”

"Who were you going with at that time?" Rushing Rain asked. Looking at his expression, it must have been some time.

Chen Yuyao's expression stiffened slightly, and he smiled, "People are difficult to dismantle." ”

"Ex-girlfriend? Ex-ex-ex-girlfriend? "Hey, how many 'fronts' do you want to add?" ”

Chen Yuyao did what he said, and did not knock her "bursting chestnut" again, but viciously pinched her face.

"Brother Yu Yao!" The torrential rain stopped loudly.

“…… You, call me Chen Yuyao. ”

Tortoiseshell flowers, in fact, are "generations" - the old fruit is preserved, the new fruit is renewed, and several generations of fruits are hung together, and it is named "generational" flower. The flower language is "anticipatory love".
