Chapter 42: Profound Meaning
In what Lao Zhou and I think of as the enjoyment of life, being able to eat a meal made by Amu himself is definitely one of the best enjoyments that can be ranked.
Even a simple three-dish and one-soup meal for five people is more appealing to me than any gorgeous banquet.
Before I could move the chopsticks, Amu had already filled a bowl of soup in front of me, and the soup was bright in color, with white flowers and flower stems in it, and three or two thin pieces of pig lungs.
"What is this?" I took a sip of the soup in front of me, and felt that the entrance was very light, but there was a natural fragrance, which overwhelmed the fishy smell of pig lungs, but retained the unique mellow aroma of pig lungs, and this aroma set off the fragrance a little thicker, which can be described as complementary.
The soup was originally very light, but after swallowing, there was a slight heat, and it was this heat that stimulated all the aromas, and I could tell that it was a little shredded ginger that brought out the heat.
It's just that I don't know what the white flowers are in this bowl?
"It's an epiphany, you want to eat the unique aroma of the epiphany, and you have to wait for the moment when the epiphany is about to bloom, and pick it ruthlessly, and the fragrance will be full of flowers and will not disperse. It's a pity, I'm ready to enjoy the flowers, although the epiphany is just a flash in time, but it is a peerless elegance in an instant, which pours into your stomach, which means that I am not an elegant person. Amu smiled faintly, reached out and grabbed a chopstick, and put the jade cabbage into Hai Nian's bowl.
"You love to eat some stuffed snacks, you have been talking about this jade cabbage for a long time, eat it. Today is a bit free, changed a kind of filling, with mushrooms as the main ingredient, I don't think it is brilliant, in the end it is a little lighter, but fortunately, the natural aroma is a little heavier. Amu smiled and said to Hai Nian, and Qin Hai Nian, a 'man', could not care about listening to this, his eyes were already looking at the jade cabbage in the bowl.
The so-called jade cabbage is not really cabbage, but a kind of dim sum, the specific method is to use green and white dough for the peel, which is filled with stuffing and then kneaded into the shape of cabbage, after the pot, the green leaves, the white rod is really the same as the jadeite carving.
Amu is skillful, and the ones made are like real fresh cabbage, and when she is idle, she will also make some lines on the road, which makes people can't bear to swallow it, but the absolute thing is that the stuffing she wraps in it is always fresh and can hang people's tongues, with a little hot soup, which is indescribably delicious.
But Amu didn't think it was worthy of praise, so she simply said: "It's just a steamed dumpling that has changed, will it be strange?" ”
Over there, when Hai Nian was eating jade cabbage, Amu reached out and grabbed a piece of the fish on the table and put it into Lao Zhou's bowl, saying: "This sea bass is also fresh, so I used the simplest method, mainly relying on the ginger silk to enhance the taste, and the rice wine to suppress the fishy, the umami of this fish fillet is barely retained, tender and tender, eat quickly." ”
Although Amu said it simply, but the steamed sea bass in front of her was made into a peacock by her with a fine knife piece, each piece of delicate fish meat is distinct, one by one, blooming, it is really like a peacock opening the screen, and in this way, each piece of fish meat can also fully absorb some of the ingredients configured by Amu, each piece retains the fresh fragrance and tenderness at the same time, it is also fully full of taste.
There is one dish left, it seems simple, but it is extremely difficult to do it well is a boiling cabbage, Amu seems to love this dish very much, Sangsang also loves it, this dish is basically Amu will do it nine times out of ten when he cooks.
And there are too many names about this dish, it seems simple, the clear white water-like soup is soaked in a few cabbage hearts, in fact, when you eat it, the cabbage is crispy and delicious, and the soup is even more delicious, but it is extremely difficult to make this dish well, and the secret is in the soup like boiling water
In short, I don't understand why Amu loves this dish, she never says, and we don't ask.
"Eat more epiphany, drink more soup, and clear your lungs don't understand why you like to smoke so much." Amu instructed me, and while he spoke, he served me a bowl of soup, which was very delicious, and the pig lungs were poured, but the taste of the epiphany was extremely dense and smooth, and it felt very special, and I was happy to drink a bowl more.
Qin Hainian had already eaten 4 jade cabbages at this time, and muttered: "To clear the lungs for the third brother, I love to eat dim sum, Zhou Zheng loves to eat fish, and the rest is what Amu and Sang Sang love to eat." Oh, Sister Mu, I admire you more and more, you seem to know that we are going to eat, and you are so precise in cooking. ”
Qin Hainian was definitely just an unintentional sentence, but after I heard it, I raised my head suddenly, and looked at Amu with a somewhat complicated mind because what Qin Hainian said was really a coincidence, as if he really prepared a dish for each of us, and these dishes took a lot of effort Amu was singing just now, and it was definitely not something that could be prepared in a while.
After all, Lao Zhou and I decided to come here temporarily, and Qin Hainian was also temporary, she was bored and had free time, so she came to this forest, and she didn't notify anyone to come.
In this way, I carefully remembered that every time I tasted Amu's craftsmanship before, it seemed that every time there was a dish that was particularly in line with my appetite, mind and my personal taste?
When I thought of this, I couldn't help but glance at Amu again, but Amu was very bland, looked at me with a smile, and then said lightly: "Then think that I am inspired, people have some inspiration, at least each of you is satisfied, and I will be happy." ”
This is Amu's typical style of speaking and doing things, four or two thousand catties of general clouds and light winds, but the topic is unconsciously I don't know where she took the road I know very well, if Amu is unwilling to say, you can't open her mouth with a jack, and you can only bow your head and continue to drink soup.
After a meal, Amu cleaned up the table by herself, she is like this, if she cooks, it must be her to wash the dishes after the aftermath, her statement is very peculiar, since she has already cooked, then wash the dishes, because this is the beginning and end of a thing, and for others, since you have enjoyed such a meal, you must enjoy it to the end, drink tea after the meal, eat some fruit, in order to treat the uncle thoroughly.
This Amu
Amu cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and Sangsang had already returned the note to me, I asked her a little nervously: "Sangsang, do you see what's coming?" "I'm really afraid that her sometimes ineffective fortune-telling will go wrong at this time and become ineffective.
Sang Sang's expression was very flat, looking at me and saying: "This birthday is also considered to be special at the time of birth, if it is a girl, it is particularly easy for yin qi to enter the body and the yang fire is low, but if the yin qi entering the body is not mixed, it also nourishes the soul and is considered a spiritually heavy person." According to the situation at the time, the environment, the place where it is located, the spirituality of this birthday white character is also divided into strong and weak, if this spirituality is strong, it will be manifested when it is young, and if it is weak, when the elderly are weaker, it will definitely show something. ”
Sang Sang dragged his chin, said lightly, and played with his nails with his other hand, as if he didn't take it very seriously
And I frowned all of a sudden, I knew that this girl was 'spiritual' this time, and the situation was absolutely not half a point I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and asked: "What about this person who was born with eight characters on his birthday, her descendants?" ”
"This kind of thing is the most unclear for future generations, and everyone's birth date is different, and the life is different, how do I know the way? It's just that this kind of mother's breath will be passed on to future generations, and then passed on layer by layer, and when you meet the right one, the spirituality will become heavier. Sangsang looked more and more unconcerned, as if he didn't want to continue the topic too much.
"What does that mean appropriate?" I felt as if I had grasped the crux of the matter, and persevered in asking Sangsang.
Sang Sang glared at me, and then said, "Ye Zhengling, it's enough, don't think that it's good, Miss Ben will serve patiently!" There are fewer three-legged toads, and there are more two-legged men, and their lives are ever-changing, and there are more suitable ones, do I still want to give you examples one by one? ”
"Enough, enough." I had already lit a cigarette and burned the note as I spoke, in fact, although Sang Sang didn't say anything explicitly, but the information revealed was enough, and this kind of thing is not surprising, just like the offspring born with strong blood, the chance of strong blood is great.
And when he was born, a person who was contaminated with yin qi, it is not impossible to pass on this yin qi that nourishes the soul, could it be that Zhao Ying's death has something to do with this? Her soul is strong? But her soul wasn't devoured?
I'm also a bit obsessive-compulsive.,Although it's just to find out who that man is, but I always want to figure out the reason for everything behind it.,It's hard to figure it out.,Make yourself very uncomfortable.。
"Just go wash the dishes, Sangsang, you're losing your temper again" At this time, Amu appeared at the door of Tianzi No. 1 room again, but he was holding a tray in his hand, and there was a neat row of six glasses of wine on the tray.
But I was already impetuous with the puzzle, but I couldn't sit still anymore, not to mention that I said at the beginning that I shouldn't drink, so I couldn't sit still anymore, stood up, and said: "I'll go out of Lu alone, you are willing to wait for me here, otherwise it's okay to disperse, I'll go out first." ”
"Zhengling, wine, drink it and then leave." Amu, who has never been reluctant, stopped me this time, although his voice was soft, there was an indescribable insistence, as if he had to let me have a drink.
I looked at Amu suspiciously, but Amu also looked at me inexplicably.
