Volume 1 The Return of the Old Man Chapter 70 The Mysterious Sugar Gourd

Han Changdu's eyebrows and eyes were flat, and he was not annoyed by the contempt of Gu Chen and the others, and said slowly: "The three of them were brought out by Yang Youzi single-handedly, and they have a deep respect for him, and now Yang Youzi's life and death are unknown, I will take over all his manpower, they are not convinced, it is reasonable, as long as they do their errands beautifully, these trivial things, there is no need to delve into them, after a long time, the estrangement will disappear." ”

Meng Suijie nodded, and said in his heart, I hope it, those few thorns, it's hard to say.

After arranging these things, Han Changwan fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was already dark, and the wind was blowing outside, causing the shadows of the trees to shake violently.

This Hu shop is really a little broken, the windows are not closed tightly, and the wind blows in with bursts of mutton aroma.

Han Changdui touched his stomach, he was really a little hungry.

He went downstairs slowly, the lobby on the first floor was empty, Meng Sui was not there for a few people, Yao Qi was afraid that he was still asleep, only the owner with thick eyebrows and big eyes was pulling his sleeves and sending mutton soup to the lobby on the first floor.

Seeing Han Changdui going downstairs, he also saw the respectful appearance of the four people who had moved in in advance, and said with a smile: "Childe is tired all the way, let's drink a bowl of thick soup first, and the flax cakes will be fine immediately." ”

As he spoke, the shopkeeper filled a bowl full of soup and meat, and held it in both hands and put it on the dining table.

Han Changdui thanked him politely, and the aroma of the soup rushed to his nose.

He took a few quick sips of soup, and as if he had just remembered something, he asked the shopkeeper, "Which room does that girl live in?" ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and his Chinese language was quite fluent: "The villain thought that the girl was inconvenient, so he asked the girl to live in the westernmost room, which can be more or less quiet." ”

Han Changdui nodded, and while drinking the soup, he said lightly: "The owner of the shop is going to ask the girl to come down and eat at dusk, and by the way, I will send another futon over." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly said with a smile: "This is a villain's inconsiderate thinking, just thinking that the girl is so quiet, but I didn't expect that the kang is not burning yet, and it is very cold." ”

As he was talking, there was a sound of chirping and laughter at the door.

Han Changdui looked up and saw Yao Qi holding a string of sugar gourds, and as he walked, he turned his head and said something to Gu Chen.

Before they finished speaking, the two of them laughed, and Yao Ji also took one from the red and colorful sugar gourd and handed it to Gu Chen.

Han Changwan covered his heart, feeling that the whole person was not good.

Such a heartless person froze to death, and he asked people to send her a futon.

He coughed lightly and reminded the two people who were next to him that there were others in the lobby.

Yao Qi turned his head and saw Han Changdu's gloomy face, and he didn't know what was going on.

Why is he angry again, who provoked him again.

This person was a toad in his last life, and he was always angry in this life.

She hurriedly walked over with a smile and saluted respectfully: "Childe is awake and has slept well." ”

Han Changdui looked at the smiling face, embarrassed to be angry, pursed his lips, and said lightly: "Where did you go?" ”

Yao Qi continued to laugh: "Lao Gu took me out for a walk. She hurriedly took out a long paper bag from her sleeve, put it on the dining table, and said with a smile: "I brought it to you." ”

Han Changdui didn't move, and said lightly: "What." ”

Yao Qi smiled, with a little pride: "Don't you know when you open it and take a look?" ”

Han Changdui raised his eyebrows and opened the paper bag, which was a string of sugar gourds, red and bright, and when the lights shone, they folded out a crystal clear light.

He coughed lightly in embarrassment, raised his eyebrows, and said, "It is common in Chang'an City, what is rare." ”

Gu Chen sighed, looked at Yao Qi, and made an expression like "Look, I'm right".

Yao Qi was not annoyed, he still picked up the sugar gourd and put it to Han Changdu's mouth, and smiled like a treasure: "You taste it, it's different from the practice in Chang'an City." Seeing that he was always awkward, she sighed, how could there be such an awkward person, but she still smiled: "Really, the heat of this soup is excellent, neither sticky to the teeth nor bitter, you see, there is also bean paste stuffing here." ”

Han Changdui finally took a bite helplessly, and sure enough, the sugar crust was crisp and sweet, the hawthorn was crisp and slightly sour, and the bean paste filling was soft and glutinous and sweet, this taste was indeed extraordinary.

He finally smiled, took the sugar gourd, and nodded while eating: "Ah Qi, I found that you are indeed a capable person, and you can find delicious food as soon as you come back to Suzhou for the first time." ”

Yao Qi raised his eyebrows and smiled, but the tip of his nose was sour and astringent, and there was a little dull pain in his heart.

She saw this sugar gourd at a glance, this method is not available in this dynasty, the sugar gourd of this dynasty will not be so laborious to boil the sugar skin, at most sprinkle a thin layer of frosting, hawthorn will not bother to remove the core, let alone fill in the bean paste filling.

The practice of this string of sugar gourds was often eaten in her previous life, and at that glance, she seemed to have returned to her previous life.

The seller of sugar gourds was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, who said that this method was given to her by her mother, but unfortunately, her mother died of illness three years ago.

The little thought in Yao Qi's heart was extinguished, and now in this world, I'm afraid she is really the only one who has crossed over.

She thought about it, and then she figured it out, and smiled in an instant: "Childe, the string of sugar gourds you just ate, but what about the silver that Lao Gu paid, this is what he honors you." ”

Han Changwan was stunned for a moment, and said with a faint smile: "Then thank you Brother Gu, let Brother Gu break the bank." ”

Gu Chen grinned awkwardly, said politely, turned his hand and gently poked Yao Qi, and whispered, "If I knew you said that, I wouldn't buy it for him." ”

Yao Qi smiled playfully, turned his head and saw the shopkeeper coming over with a futon in his arms, and said with a smile: "Is the window of Childe's house not closed tightly, when Childe was resting, I heard the window blowing loudly, and I had to add a bed and futon." ”

Hearing this, Han Changwan felt that although this sugar gourd was bought by Gu Chen, it was also quite sweet.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "The girl is wrong, this futon was sent to the girl's room just now by the son." ”

Yao Qi opened his mouth, a little embarrassed.

Gu Chen looked at Han Changdui with a deep expression, then at Yao Qi, and smiled weirdly.

Yao Qi was a little annoyed and glared at Gu Chen viciously.

Not long after, Meng Sui also came back after a few people.

I don't know how much Gu Chen and the three of them are a little jealous of Han Changdu, or they are silently looking at how much real ability he has, in short, they didn't cause any more trouble, they all silently used the twilight food, and they were very peaceful.

After using the twilight food, several people went back to their rooms, but Han Changdui left Yao Qi.

Yao Qi felt that Han Changdu's gaze was a little deep, her expression was a little strange, and something was wrong, she sat anxiously and emptily, preparing for the wrong situation, and ran away at any time.

Han Changwan rinsed his mouth, wiped his mouth, and then knocked on the food table, and said lightly: "Have you known Gu Chen and the three of them for a long time?" ”

It turned out to be asking this, there is nothing that can't be said, Yao Qi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Yes, I met when I was on an errand in Jingzhao Mansion." ”

Han Changwan pursed his lips: "Tell the three of them carefully." He paused slightly, and said meaningfully: "There is nothing that can't be said about this." ”

Yao Qi grinned and smiled: "Look at what you said, as long as you ask, the maid will definitely know everything." ”

Han Changwan snorted coldly and waved his hand: "Okay, don't come to this set with me, let's talk." ”

Yao Qi drank tea, moistened his throat, and then smiled brightly: "Gu Chen, you have to be forty, well, almost, he has been setting up a stall in Dongshi for more than twenty years." ”

Han Changdui was surprised, in the secret pile document he obtained, there was only a name and the identity of his daily walking, and he did not have an exact age, but looking at Gu Chen's appearance, he was really young, and he looked like he was in his early twenties.

Could it be that setting up a stall and abducting is just his sideline, and his main business is actually a skill in residing in his face?

Yao Qi looked at Han Changdui's stunned expression, and couldn't stop laughing: "Childe didn't expect it, when I first met him, I didn't expect it, isn't it ripe later, I get used to it, and I get used to it." She paused and smiled: "He usually takes a kind of pill, and that recipe has the effect of rejuvenating the face." ”

Han Changwan nodded and motioned for Yao Qi to continue.

Yao Qi said with a smile: "Gu Chen looks arrogant, but he is the most kind-hearted, but he is a little more powerful and refuses to forgive people." He usually sets up a stall in the East Market, and when he encounters injustices, he always has to pretend to be a ghost and scare to seek justice for others. ”

Han Changwan smiled, this person's temperament is interesting, even more awkward than him.

Yao Qi took a sip of tea and continued: "As for Wang Xian, he is honest and duty-oriented, Xu has been fighting in Pingkangfang for a long time, and he is very polite and respectful to everyone. She slowly smiled, held her cheeks, and said seriously: "Gongzi asked these three people, I know what it means, I didn't know that they were the secret stakes of the Internal Security Division before, but I just looked at them with ordinary eyes, and now I look at it carefully, although Gu Chen is high, he is indeed talented, if he uses it well, he will be a good subordinate, Wang Xian is down-to-earth and hardworking, and it is also good, Gongzi should pay attention to it, only Chen Jue." ”

Han Changdui sighed softly, and sat down to look at Yao Qi.

Her eyes were bright, like cold stars in the dark night, and the heavens and the earth were eclipsed.

His eyes deepened.

Yao Qi didn't notice the change in Han Changdu's expression, and just blindly said: "Chen Qi used to be the west seat of a family in Tonghuafang, but because he had a head and tail with the second lady of that family, he was blasted out. Although this kind of thing is consensual, but once the incident happens, the man will be laughed at for a few days at most, but the woman's reputation will be over, and she may not even be able to save her life. ”
