"He wants to eat sheep and scorpion hot pot? Still want to eat cold gherkins? Zhanhuai looked at the kang table in front of him, and his big eyes turned into copper bells.

On the kang table is his dinner, the copper pot is gurgling and bubbling, and the large pieces of sheep and scorpions have been tasted, emitting a touching fragrance;

Of the four side dishes served on a sweet white porcelain plate, one of them is a green tasseled cold gherkin without peeling.

He pointed to the pot and the plate of cucumbers on the table, and asked Ah You, who was serving on the side, "These are from the Zhuangzi?" ”

This Zhuangzi belongs to Mrs. Huo, and it is idle at this time, and the people in the Zhuangzi have been transferred elsewhere, leaving only a few honest and reliable cooking sundries. When Zhanhuai lived in the Guogong Mansion in the capital, it was Sikong Auntie who personally cooked for him, and now he came to Zhuangzi, Sikong Auntie couldn't follow, so he let his goddaughter Yao Huang follow, Yao Huang was quick with his hands and feet, and he was good at the northern cuisine of the capital, but she followed Sikong Auntie, and she could also cook Fujian-style dishes, but it was not as good as Sikong Auntie, Zhanhuai had been in the military camp for several years, and he was not picky about the taste, as long as the person who cooked the rice was reliable.

Ah Youzi didn't know, and seeing that he couldn't say it, Zhanhuai waved his hand: "Let Yao Huang come over." ”

Yao Huang came over soon, she was in her early thirties, and she wrapped her hair in a floral scarf, clean and neat.

"Back to the fifth master's words, I just slaughtered a live sheep today, it is a Yulin sheep in northern Shaanxi sent by Huo Jiuye, which is different from the mutton in Beizhili, it is said that it is fed thyme since childhood, and there is no need to add seasoning when cooking, a handful of salt can be cooked to the fragrance. In the past, Yulin mutton could occasionally be seen in the capital, but since King Rong turned around, even a single wool could not be seen, and I didn't know what method Huo Jiuye used to transport the whole live sheep from Yulin. ”

"This little cucumber was sent by the steward in Zhuangzi yesterday, saying that there is a greenhouse nearby to grow vegetables, and when An Hai came a few days ago, he instructed them to buy fresh vegetables every three or five days."

Zhanhuai nodded, where did the sheep scorpion and gherkins come from, he had just knew, before dinner was served, he didn't even know that there would be sheep scorpions and gherkins tonight.

What he didn't know, Huo Qingzhou, who was under house arrest in a small courtyard, certainly didn't know.

So it's all just a coincidence.

It's just too much of a coincidence.

Or there is only one possibility, these two things were originally Huo Qingzhou's favorite food.

But Zhanhuai still felt that something was wrong, but if someone around him reported to Huo Qingzhou, it would not be such a trivial thing as what he ate.

The Zhan family has been in Fujian for more than 100 years, and the living habits have been imperceptible. Before meeting Huo Roufeng, Zhanhuai hadn't even eaten mutton a few times, and beef was often eaten, but it was not the northern way to eat. He didn't like mutton, but because Huo Roufeng liked it, he ate it with him. Yao Huang had never served his diet before, and when he saw that the Huo family sent live sheep, he made a sheep scorpion pot.

Zhanhuai said to Ah You: "Just follow what Huo Qingzhou said, send him over what he wants, and let Xiaoye watch it carefully." ”

An hour later, Ah You came to see Zhanhuai: "Xiaoye said that Huo Gongzi only ate a few bites, and concluded that this was Yulin sheep in northern Shaanxi, and he fished out all the sheep and scorpions to eat, and he also disliked that the sheep soup was not cooked clearly enough." ”

Zhanhuai frowned: "Does the mutton soup have to be clear?" ”

Ah You scratched his hair: "The little one doesn't understand, this time I came to the capital, the little one is the first time to eat mutton, in our house before, the little one doesn't remember eating mutton." ”

Zhan Huai snorted and muttered, "This Huo Qingzhou seems to be a knowledgeable person, so he must like to eat mutton very much." ”

He went all the way north from Fujian to the capital, and he saw a lot of northerners, but there was only one Xiao Jiu who loved mutton.

Xiao Jiu loves to eat meat sandwich buns, loves to eat beef and mutton, especially loves mutton, in the morning always let people go to buy sheep intestines from Lao Cangzhou, in winter, every time he eats with Xiao Jiu, unless it is in the Guogong Mansion, there will definitely be a sheep scorpion pot on the table.

I didn't expect to meet another person in front of me who also loves mutton.

Zhanhuai smiled and shook his head.

The next day, Huo Qingzhou clamored to see Zhanhuai, and when Zhanhuai walked into the small courtyard, he saw Huo Qingzhou looking up at the sky in the courtyard, and when he heard the sound of him entering the door, Huo Qingzhou still raised his head and didn't look at him.

Zhan Huai was curious, and also looked up at the sky above the small courtyard.

It was a little overcast, and there were no clouds in sight, and a few sparrows flew by, chirping and falling to the wall.

"What are you looking at?" Zhan asked puzzled.

"You can't see it?" Huo Qingzhou asked rhetorically.

Zhanhuai shook his head: "I didn't see anything worth seeing." ”

Huo Qingzhou laughed softly: "Fools with simple minds and well-developed limbs can't see anything. ”

Zhanhuai's brows moved: "The idiot you said was me?" ”

"If you think it's so, if you think it's not, then it's not." Huo Qingzhou cut his hands and walked towards the house.

Zhan Huai raised his eyebrows, this person is sick, and he has to sarcastically say a few words when he sees the stitches.

"Compared with Brother Huo, I am indeed simple-minded and have developed limbs, there is no way, if you want to beat people down, you have to have developed limbs." Zhan Huai followed as he spoke, and also entered the house.

Xiao Ye came in with fragrant tea, put down the tea cup in front of the two of them, and quietly walked out, gently closing the wooden door carved from mahogany.

Zhanhuai looked at the door and said to Huo Qingzhou: "Can Xiao Ye use it?" ”

Huo Qingzhou's head suddenly hurt a little, he didn't think he was sick, anyone had a fatal pretty girl by his side, it was difficult not to have a headache.

"It's good, the people are beautiful, the voice is beautiful, even the hands are beautiful, everywhere is beautiful, can it be bad?" After Huo Qingzhou finished speaking, he felt like a resentful woman, the kind of resentful woman who had a bunch of flowers and moons standing beside her, but she couldn't control it.

Zhanhuai laughed, as if he had heard something interesting, and he even bent over with laughter.

Huo Qingzhou twisted his face to the side, is it so funny? Laughing like a fool.

Zhan Huai smiled enough, and said to Huo Qingzhou: "You actually said that Xiaoye is beautiful, the voice is beautiful, and even the hands are beautiful." She must not have told you that her hands were used to practice throwing knives, and one slash was fatal. ”

Huo Qingzhou didn't speak, nonsense, could he not know? Xiao Ya told him early in the morning.

Zhanhuai continued to say to himself: "My mother was originally going to give her to me as a girl, but I was so frightened that I ran out of the window when I heard it, it was too scary, you think, there are people around you who are going to come to a girl who is going to be stabbed all the time, what a girl, I don't dare to ask for such a girl, right?" ”
