Chapter Eighty-Four: The Mysterious Zuo Chun

Zuo Qiu's dishes are indeed extraordinary.

It's not just the taste, but the appearance of each dish is enough to be called pleasing to the eye, and just looking at the natural and rich colors that go with it is already appetizing.

For example, this roast goose dish is in front of you.

It was a whole roasted oily and juicy goose, still drizzled with golden oil droplets, steaming white, fixed on a long bamboo skewer, Zuo Qiu held a special knife, and sliced goose meat elegantly.

Zuo Qiu has a habit, every time he serves a new dish, he will explain a few words about the practice of this dish, I am usually a foodie, I prefer to study food, and I am very interested in the explanation of each dish of Zuo Qiu.

As for Shen Jingyun, how can he pay attention to Zuo Qiu's "chatter"? It seemed that it didn't matter to him what food was in front of him, he just needed to eat it.

Zuo Qiu told me that this roast goose should be called "peach goose" to be precise.

It is to take a few green and red plush fresh peaches, put them in a pot and boil, wait until the skin of the fresh peaches and the core fall off and separate, and then pour a full amount of osmanthus sugar and rock sugar into the pot, and mix it with warm rice wine.

I took the goose that had been prepared in advance, stuffed the belly with chopped green onions and ginger, and after the drunken peach juice was boiled, I gently poured it on the skin of the goose and put it in the oven to roast.

I could salivate as I listened, and in the face of the tender goose meat from Zuo Qiu's slices, it was almost swallowed in my stomach with gold oil.

The sweet smell of goose meat melts almost in the mouth, turning into a goose gravy that is so thick that it can't be dissolved.

Of course, this is just one of the five dishes.

I never dreamed of having a meal like this.

As Zuo Qiu kept serving new dishes, my mouth hardly stopped.

In addition to a small dish specially brought for us by Zuo Qiu - small cucumber pickles, Ejiao cucumber cup, Huaishan meat dumplings, rock sugar almond bird's nest were served successively, and a dessert was attached, which was a sweet cake made of wild chrysanthemums.

The crystalline ejiao, paired with green and crisp cucumbers, has a fresh and natural aroma, fat but not greasy.

As for the Huaishan meat dumplings, it is even more interesting, it is mixed with the mashed meat of Huaishan, mixed with various seasonings, kneaded into a dough one by one and steamed in the pot, and sprinkled with a handful of green green onions before coming out of the pot.

I always want to eat just to be satisfied, the taste is heavy, the taste buds can be stimulated, the stomach can be satisfied, for me is good food.

Zuo Qiu's dishes have been out of the scope of my satisfaction, and they are much more advanced than my requirements for food, and it is precisely because of this that I have to say that it is wonderful.

I don't know why? Zuo Qiu's dishes are not only delicious, but also make me feel very comfortable, every time I eat a dish, accompanied by the fragrance of the herbs, I feel a warm current straight to the stomach.

Is it because of that miracle herb? Zuo Qiu refused to answer.

It was as if there was a soft and cool air flow all over my body, and my spirits were lifted a lot.

I think Zuo Qiu's dishes are not only wonderful, they can be called magical!

Compared to me, who ate almost every dish religiously, Shen Jingyun ate normally, and while Zuo Qiu served me vegetables, he just ate the food in front of him indifferently.

Decisively, simply, and silently, he ate everything clean, without any waste.

This reminds me of the few meals I had made for Shen Jingyun before, when at home, either the condiments were not complete, or they were made in a hurry, but the knife-cut noodles that were prepared in a hurry and the pot was boiled indiscriminately.

Shen Jingyun didn't hide it at all, the food was extraordinarily sweet, could it be that compared to this table of "feast" made by Zuo Qiu, could the things I made casually be more delicious?

Thinking of this, I looked at Shen Jingyun eating indifferently, and I was a little moved in my heart.

But he didn't want to, Shen Jingyun raised his head without warning, and his eyes fell on my face, just in time to see my gaze.

My heartbeat stopped beating half a beat all of a sudden, and I quickly lowered my head, why was it seen by Shen Jingyun at this time?

Shen Jingyun ignored me, finished eating, wiped his mouth elegantly, and said to Zuo Qiu, who was standing aside, "This time, I can meet Zuo Chun, right?" ”

"One hundred thousand." Zuo Qiu's expression was a little weird, and he came up with a number that surprised me.

I'm so tired in a month, and this number has to be desperately earned for at least three or four months, and I have to eat so much in one meal? Although Zuo Qiu's food really doesn't have to be said.

Shen Jingyun remained silent, took out his wallet, took out a black card and handed it to Zuo Qiu: "Is it okay to swipe the card?" Although the price is a bit outrageous. ”

Zuo Qiu's originally cold expression became a little annoyed: "You want to see my brother, this price is not outrageous." Then he added, "I hope you don't ask too much." ”

"I paid 100,000." Shen Jingyun didn't promise anything, but the meaning of his words was already clear.

Zuo Qiu frowned, wanting to say something more, but he was also speechless.

I remembered that when I had dinner before, Shen Jingyun inadvertently said the rules here, although Zuo Qiu's private dishes can be priced at will, but the maximum is 100,000.

And the people who want to eat Zuo Qiu's private dishes are often not for eating at all, but to see Zuo Chun, the mysterious man.

As for whether there will be any price to pay after seeing Zuo Chun, that's another story.

It is equivalent to eating Zuo Qiu's private dishes, which is a stepping stone to seeing Zuo Chun.

It's a bit of a strange rule, but I can't get to the bottom of it after all.

After being silent for a while, Zuo Qiu sighed, and said to me and Shen Jingyun with some reluctance: "Come with me." ”

Shen Jingyun calmly walked out of the door, but when he passed by Zuo Qiu, Zuo Qiu couldn't help but pull Shen Jingyun and said, "I hope you really don't go too far." ”

This is the second time Zuo Qiu has talked about asking Shen Jingyun not to go too far, which makes me a little curious, is Shen Jingyun going to do something "heinous" and bad?

I thought that Shen Jingyun would ignore it as always, or avoid the topic in four or two.

But he didn't want to, he stopped and looked at Zuo Qiu and frowned slightly: "Is Zuo Chun's situation very bad?" ”

"You know what effect a hexagram will have on him."

"I see." Shen Jingyun's expression didn't change much, he just nodded and stopped talking.

Zuo Chun's room is on the third floor of this platform.

Unlike the magnificence of the first floor, nor as fine as the private rooms on the second floor, the overall layout of the third floor is very simple.

There are only two rooms, and it seems to be a large room connected by several rooms.

Zuo Chun was in the room on the right, and when Zuo Qiu pushed the door open, the darkness in front of me made me think that I had entered a room with no lights on.

I can't see anything clearly.

But I vaguely felt the emptiness of the whole room, and the coldness.

It's a kind of coldness that I can't say about the dust that settles, as if there is an echo in every step.

In this atmosphere, I wonder how can there be people in such a room? But I saw a square desk in the far corner of the room.

A faint candle flame danced in the wind on the desk, and a figure sat behind the desk.

I hadn't seen the man yet, but I was stunned by what was in front of me.

The room on the third floor is very high.

It was such a high room, and behind the desk, instead of a wall, there was a whole huge bookshelf densely packed with books.

When you look up, you can see the top.

Not only that, but there were also several small hill-like piles of books on the ground in front of the bookshelves, the pages of which were turned in the wind, and the rest of the books scattered on the ground were countless.

The figure sat quietly in front of the huge bookshelf, looking very deserted.

Zuo Qiu walked in front of the figure, I don't know where he brought a bowl of medicinal soup, and put it in front of the person in distress, only to see that on the desk, and on the ground under the desk, there were also countless books densely packed.

Shen Jingyun took a step forward and said to the figure behind the desk: "According to Mr.'s ability, you should know the purpose of my coming to see you, right?" ”

"Yes." Zuo Chun didn't say much.

At this time, I looked at the mysterious Zuo Chun.

If Zuo Qiu is beautiful, then Zuo Chun has a completely different temperament, and he is very handsome.

He was dressed in a white Tang suit, and his whole body was very simple, with almost no decorations.

But it was such a simple appearance, and his face was more and more clean, and the black hair of the shawl was loosely tied behind his head with only a black band.

It's just that on the face that was obviously thinner than Zuo Qiu, his eyes looked at Shen Jingyun with almost no emotion.

This made his temperament extremely distant.

I have to say, I sigh again, another handsome guy who is hard to see.

Zuo Qiu looked up at Shen Jingyun, and couldn't help but complain again: "Your affairs have always been the most troublesome, if it weren't for the fact that our brothers owe you a favor, I wouldn't have brought you to see my brother anyway, you should know the price of divination." ”

"I didn't take this favor to heart. If it weren't for the lack of help, I wouldn't have bothered Mr. I know the price of divination, and I will make up for it afterwards. Shen Jingyun's gaze was calm, but his words were full of sincerity.

"Make it up? Can you make up for the calamities that may be suffered, or the loss of longevity? Speaking of this, Zuo Qiu's mood fluctuated, and his eyes turned cold when he looked at Shen Jingyun.

"I can." Shen Jingyun said in a deep voice.

Don't know why? Shen Jingyun's words came out, and there was an aura that people had to believe, even if Zuo Qiu thought it was impossible, I inexplicably believed that Shen Jingyun could really do it.

What kind of strange psychology is this?

A cough interrupted the conversation between the two people, and Zuo Chun's fair face was flushed.

Zuo Qiu, who was watching it, felt distressed for a while, and hurriedly stroked Zuo Chun's back with his hand.

But he didn't want to, but Zuo Chun watched Shen Jingyun speak word by word, and his voice was calm and distant: "Say what you want in detail, be detailed." ”
