Chapter 075: Tasteless

ο»Ώ

All the way is a familiar scenery, and sure enough, it is going to "Tasteless Memory". Last year, I also came here at this time, but it was in the afternoon, the sun was warm, and I could see the scenery around this "tasteless record", like an oasis in the noisy city. This time, it was night, although the sky was full of stars, but the night was thick, Xu Zhonglin had always been very slow and serious in driving, which was probably related to his profession and needed to be very meticulous. The car moved slowly, surrounded by the shadows of the trees, and the wind carried the fragrance of plants, and the dew was moist.

Turning a corner, I saw the lights in the distance, the classical red lanterns, hazy time, at first glance, it seems to have traveled through time and space. The black-lacquered door was closed.

Dong Xiaokui subconsciously looked at her watch and said, "Zhonglin, it's already nine o'clock at this time, maybe, they are all asleep." "Yes, after all, this is not a commercial restaurant, and I have heard that Uncle Xu pays attention to the rules of life in order to maintain the unique feeling of cooking.

"Nope. I called earlier. Xu Zhonglin replied, still looking intently ahead, the car turned at the door and stopped in the open area next to it. As soon as the two got out of the car, they heard the "creak" of the black lacquered wooden door, and saw that the street lights around them were on. It was a young man who came out, and when he saw the two of them, he politely shouted, "Xu Shao is good." Hello Miss Dong. ”

Xu Zhonglin nodded in return, "um". Dong Xiaokui was very surprised, she had only been to "Wuwei Ji" once, how did this person know about her? However, out of politeness, she also nodded and said, "Hello." ”

Xu Zhonglin will hold her hand and walk into the "Tasteless Record". The door of this "tasteless record" is Chinese classical, and the door is also divided into several levels. Because it was night, the doors on each floor were closed, and only the side doors were opened. There are many thresholds, Xu Zhonglin led Dong Xiaokui to walk very slowly, and gently reminded that there was a threshold there, so be careful.

The young man in front of him was carrying a lamp, and he looked back a few times. Dong Xiaokui was also a little embarrassed. After the light wall, the courtyard has already been lit up. The man said, "Little, the meal is ready." Master is now busy studying a dish. I'm preparing the last batch, I'll be over later. ”

"Well, there you go." Xu Zhonglin waved his hand to him and walked straight into a room with Dong Xiaokui. This room was also the last time we had dinner.

On the mahogany low table is a hot fish soup, as well as Xu Zhonglin's favorite slices of bacon and a stir-fried tender part of the unknown vine radish. The two ate in silence. Because Xu Zhonglin has always eaten, he rarely speaks. In his words, tasting food requires meditation, not to mention the tasteless food that really makes people appetite.

Wait until both of them have eaten about the same. Someone came to clean up the table, and the young man from before came over and said with a smile: "Xu Shao, Miss Dong, Master invites you to drink tea in the room." Said to be the best tea, brought back from the old man some time ago. ”

"Okay, you go first." Xu Zhonglin waved his hand and looked out the window.

Dong Xiaokui was a little nervous, because after all, this time's identity was different from the last time, since this uncle had seen the old man, he must also know about Xu Zhonglin and himself. When they met this time, I don't know what the attitude of the uncle of the Xu family was.

However, nervousness turned to nervousness, she still calmed down, didn't say a word, and stood aside.

"Let's go, my uncle is very kind. You don't have to be nervous. Xu Zhonglin suddenly turned around and took her hand.

Dong Xiaokui was startled and said, "I didn't." ”

"If you weren't nervous, I wouldn't have said this." Xu Zhonglin was calm and relaxed, and he really knew her very well.

Dong Xiaokui smiled wryly and went with him to see his uncle. Uncle's hair was almost completely white, but he was in good spirits, and when he saw Xu Zhonglin walking in, he smiled and said, "Zhonglin, how long has it been since you kid came to see your uncle?" ”

"You know, uncle, I want to try your craft every day. It's just that the task is heavy. Xu Zhonglin walked straight in, but his hand was still holding Dong Xiaokui tightly, and he didn't mean to let go at all.

"Really? I heard that I've been running Jincheng several times, and I don't have time to come to Wuwei Ji, and your kid's level of lying is getting lower and lower. Uncle said while washing the cup, looking at Dong Xiaokui incessantly.

Dong Xiaokui was a little uncomfortable, lowered his eyelids slightly, and wanted to withdraw his hand from Xu Zhonglin's clench, but he held it tighter, and kept sitting on the low stool opposite his uncle, and then said matter-of-factly: "That's a big task, this really can't be said." ”

"Hmm. It's a big task. You guy. Uncle said, looked at Dong Xiaokui, and said, "Girl, we met again." My family, Zhonglin, didn't bring girls here to eat before. You've done it twice. ”

Uncle spoke, his tone was calm, and he had a smile on his face, not the face of cold rain and autumn wind, and in terms of breath, it was not malicious. Dong Xiaokui was a little more relaxed, smiled at his uncle, and said, "It's my gluttony, the last time I ate the dishes made by my uncle by chance, I always remembered it, so I kept asking him to bring me here." ”

These words made the uncle laugh, and then looked at Xu Zhonglin, and then said to Dong Xiaokui: "Then let Zhonglin bring you more in the future." ”

"Okay." Dong Xiaokui was very happy and turned her head to look at Xu Zhonglin.

Xu Zhonglin knocked on her head and said, "As soon as you are a foodie, okay, I will bring you here when I am free." He said and asked Dong Xiaokui to sit down on the side.

"Who is this girl and what is her name? Zhonglin, you have rarely been home recently, and this etiquette is also unfamiliar. Uncle said, smiling. Dong Xiaokui sat on the side and felt a little uncomfortable with this. What do you mean by "rarely going home, and the etiquette is rusty"? Could it be an allusion that she would ruin Xu Zhonglin's upbringing?

Thinking of this, Dong Xiaokui was a little unhappy in his heart, and hoped that he was too worried. At this time, there are thousands of ups and downs, whether it is the rich and the poor, no matter what, the gap between the heart and the anxiety exists.

Xu Zhonglin smiled and replied: "Uncle, it's not appropriate for you to speak, I am busy with tasks outside during this time, and I am studying some ancient classics with this girl in my spare time, uncle's words have to make this sensitive girl think more." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Dong Xiaokui. When Dong Xiaokui heard Xu Zhonglin say this, she was grateful in her heart, but her face was displeased, and she said, "Look at what you said." I don't think so much about it. I just reminisced about the food just now, thinking about this good tea. ”

"It's better if not." Xu Zhonglin said, regardless of his uncle's presence, reached out and rubbed her hair. This move made Dong Xiaokui very embarrassed, and hurriedly hid.

"I didn't think of that, hey, people are old and always don't think about it." Uncle said that he had begun to pour the first cup, and the room was full of the fragrance of tea.

"Uncle, I want my grandfather to hear thisβ€”" Xu Zhonglin said.

"Stinky boy, if you don't say it, how does he know?" The uncle pursed his lips, glared at Xu Zhonglin, and then looked at Dong Xiaokui with a smile, and said, "Don't be afraid of this guy." Don't follow him. Otherwise, he will have to turn the sky upside down. ”

Dong Xiaokui smiled wryly, but didn't speak yet. The uncle put the brewed tea in front of the two of them and said, "Stinky boy, don't you want to introduce this girl?" ”

Xu Zhonglin held the cup, and then said, "Dong Xiaokui, my fiancΓ©e." ”

Dong Xiaokui heard the words "fiancΓ©e", but she was shocked, her hands tightened, she held the hot teacup tightly, and couldn't help but look at her uncle's face. The old man still looked like before, just looked at Dong Xiaokui and said, "You kid is playing big, dare to brush your grandfather's will." ”

Xu Zhonglin just smiled and said, "You always pretend to be confused, do you?" I respect you and bring Xiaokui to you, as an elder, don't you give gifts? ”

When Dong Xiaokui heard this, he smiled secretly: This guy really has the potential to be a bandit.

"Stinky boy. You only said that you came to dinner, but you came suddenly, you caught me off guard, and I haven't settled accounts with you yet. The uncle glared at him, then smiled at Aoi and said, "Aoi." In a hurry today, I don't have anything to give. Listen to this stinky boy, you also like to drink tea, this pot of tea is not bad, even if it is the first meeting gift. ”

Dong Xiaokui was very embarrassed, so she had to quickly get up and catch the tea handed over by the old man, and said thank you repeatedly.

"Aoi knows how to make tea, right?" The old man asked, continuing to add tea.

"I know a little bit about it." Dong Xiaokui replied.

"Uncle, you're too picky. It's my fiancΓ©e, and when we meet for the first time, you just have a pot of tea. Xu Zhonglin took a sip of tea and pursed his lips.

"Stinky boy, what do you want? This tea, you also know the origin, it's rare. Hmph, it's good that the old man can give me a can. He loves tea as much as his life. "Uncle has a good cultivation, so he almost didn't stand up and slap Xu Zhonglin.

"It's precious. My tea art is shallow, and I am afraid of tyranny. Dong Xiaokui was a little uneasy, she knew that the Xu family had a lot of good tea, but she didn't know that this tea was so precious.

"Girl, take it. I heard Zhonglin say that your family is also a well-educated family, and the tea art is also very good. Take it and taste it. It's a little bit of my uncle's heart. As for other gifts, I'll make up for them next time. The uncle said that he had ordered someone to bring refreshments, and there were several plates of white porcelain, golden in color, and they looked delicious.

"Come on, something substantial. Besides, you won't be able to count me bringing Aoi here? Xu Zhonglin stood up and sat next to his uncle around the table, with a thief's expression on his face.

This is an expression that Dong Xiaokui has never seen before, and he looked at the two people who hooked shoulders in surprise.

"Stinky boy, you think I'm you? I'm all about cooking. Nothing else. He said, squinting at Xu Zhonglin.

"Oh well. I'm your favorite nephew, my wife, well, you have to love the house and the black too, that pot of tea is really cold. Xu Zhonglin looked very solemn. Dong Xiaokui was secretly happy in her heart, this guy is really gangster.

"Stinky boy, when I first saw your sister-in-law, I just gave a few pieces of cake out of the pot to bring back. Do you still want to make inches? Uncle feigned rage.

"That's a must. Uncle, you know I don't have much to eat, and I can't keep running to you. Xu Zhonglin's expression was serious.

"You mean I want to teach this girl?" Uncle asked, and looked at Dong Xiaokui again.

When Dong Xiaokui heard this, Xu Zhonglin actually made his own opinion without asking his opinion, and he was a little unhappy. The uncle was already in a state of thought, then nodded and said, "Girl, would you like to come and learn?" ”

The irresistible aroma of this person's food is naturally quite insightful. Dong Xiaokui has always wanted to be a good wife and mother, husband and children, so she is naturally very attentive to cooking, plus Xu Zhonglin is very picky about eating, a little undelicious, he must not be able to eat, in this regard, Dong Xiaokui has not worked hard, this time when he went home, he even asked a lot of recipes, including the Dong family. At this time, she was naturally very happy to get these words, and hurriedly said: "I can't ask for it." I used to think about it, but I was afraid that my qualifications would be dull, so my uncle refused to accept it. ”

"In this generation, there is no guy in the Xu family who likes cooking. Alas. The uncle sighed and said, "If you are fine, you can come and learn tomorrow." ”

"Thank you, uncle." She said as she looked at Xu Zhonglin.

"Stones, learn by heart. In the future, I will make food for my husband. He did not shy away from it at all, and walked over with great pleasure, and took her hand and sat down. The tea in the pot was weak, and the uncle wanted to change another pot, Xu Zhonglin motioned to Dong Xiaokui to make tea.

Dong Xiaokui also knew that she had just heard that Xu Zhonglin's grandfather also liked to make tea, so she gladly accepted it. Uncle didn't say much, but probably wanted to check it out. How a person is, you can get a glimpse of it from her behavior. Xu Zhonglin once said that this uncle was most liked by his grandfather. Although he is not in the army, he has never been in officialdom, and he is not even the best in all aspects. But it is the most distracting and the most light-hearted. It is also said to be smart.

Then, if this person can make supreme deliciousness, he must be a person with excellent understanding. Dong Xiaokui thought secretly, and then warned himself to calm down, so as not to make mistakes.

The process of making tea naturally follows that of Dong's tutor. During this period, my uncle and Xu Zhonglin were talking about cooking, and occasionally talked about a side dish in ancient books and classics. During this period, the uncle and Xu Zhonglin would correct some details of making tea.

"How is the old man's health?" Xu Zhonglin finally asked.

"In the plum garden, the spirit is not bad, but when I miss your grandmother, I am a little chattering." Uncle replied, sighing. When Dong Xiaokui heard this, her hands tightened, and she couldn't help but think of what Uncle Chen had said, the story of Xu Zhonglin's grandparents, that is a kind of unswerving love until death. This kind of remembrance beyond life and death is even more enviable, and at the same time sighing.

"How's it going at home?" Xu Zhonglin got straight to the point.

The uncle finally glanced at him and said, "You are responsible for your own business." The home is calm. ”

"Hehe, I've been busy lately, and I don't have time to go back. It's just that I racked my brains and didn't remember which old man's family was. This-" Xu Zhonglin said casually, and almost ate it.

"Don't ask me about it. Because I don't know either. Okay, I'll still cook. Uncle seemed to avoid the topic a little, and immediately stood up.

"Old man, don't sell it. Hmph, are you also standing by with me? Xu Zhonglin is getting straight to the point at this time.

The uncle turned around, but said to Dong Xiaokui: "Xiaokui, I have something to do tomorrow." The day after tomorrow, if you're okay, come and learn how to cook with me. ”

"Thank you, uncle." Dong Xiaokui hurriedly got up and saluted.

The old man waved his hand and said to Xu Zhonglin: "Stinky boy, take care of your own business." ”

Xu Zhonglin pursed his lips and said inch by inch: "Give me tomorrow's breakfast." ”

"Hmph, you stinky boy. It's really bizarre. I have already made the good money ready for you. In the outer world, you go and get it yourself. The uncle pretended to be angry, and in the end, he couldn't help but smile on his face.

"The old man said that I was like him, and you said that I was very abandoned, so you should be careful." Xu Zhonglin hummed and chirped, talking to his uncle without a proper shape, and being coquettish. Such Xu Zhonglin is really hard to see.

Dong Xiaokui smiled comfortably and watched her uncle walk out. Xu Zhonglin personally made tea for her to drink, and ate some snacks, and then took Dong Xiaokui back to Ningyuan.

On the way, Dong Xiaokui finally asked the question in his heart: "Can't you find it?" ”

"I've been a bit busy lately." Xu Zhonglin replied. Dong Xiaokui actually knows very well that he doesn't need to do these things to check people, so he naturally goes to investigate, and now he needs to go to his uncle to inquire about the situation, I'm afraid it's really tricky. But this man is proud, she knows how to get along with him, and she can't slap her face in the slightest. So, she let out an "oh" and said, "Take your time, don't rush." ”......
