Chapter 37: The Old Man

The young man did not go to Louis immediately, but he listened to the woman's invitation and decided to solve the problem of lunch with what they called "silk dolls". Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the table, the woman warmly prepared a platter of toast, tortillas, lentils, a pot of ale, and a silk doll.

The young man's eyes were completely attracted by the silk doll in front of him.

Orange shredded radish, purple shredded cabbage, golden shredded quiche, white shredded lotus root......

The shredded vegetables are tender and attractive, clustered in a circle, colorful, and not as exaggerated as the thin hair, but not far behind.

The key is that each one is delicate and even, with exactly the same length, width and thinness, which requires skill.

He really hadn't eaten such food.

The name is "Silk Doll", which is really ingenious.

There is a bowl of soup in the middle, but it is not warm, it is not thick or thin, and it is shiny like tender red honey, which makes people very appetizing.

The woman coaxed the restless child away, sat it aside, and showed the young man how to eat.

She picked up a white and tender dough cake with her hand, put the shredded vegetables on it haphazardly, then rolled it up, scooped a bowl of "soup" with a spoon, poured it from her head, and while the juice was wrapped, she immediately took a bite and put the silk doll into her mouth.

The woman was chewing with her mouth full of intoxication, and the young man saw it in his eyes, although he felt that it was too dirty to scratch it directly with his hands, but he couldn't help but want to taste it.

He laid the shredded vegetables one by one neatly in the center of the rice cake, occupying about one-third of the place, then wrapped it on both sides, closed the lower end, and dipped the tomatoes in water, which he did not understand, like a woman, and tasted it with disbelief......

As soon as he entered the mouth, his face changed.

All kinds of crispy and crispy vegetables are crushed into juice by the teeth, and under the blend of refined dipping water, they burst out with indescribable charm!

His ears could clearly hear the crackling of vegetables, and the tip of his tongue could delicately feel a wonderful sweet and sour stimulus, which spread the sweetness of his mouth, and he had never tasted it before!

"Delicious!"

The young man couldn't help but sigh that this taste was much better than that of many pompous chefs.

Fresh and refreshing without greasy, without meat but just as rich, of course, if there is another hot soup, it will be even more perfect.

He didn't know that the silk doll did have a soup to accompany it, but the woman couldn't make that taste, so she lacked it.

But even so, he thought it was good.

He suddenly had an idea, added two more copies, and packed the silk doll away.

And the woman was very dissatisfied.

There wasn't much in the first place, and the young man took it, and she didn't have anything to eat.

Even when faced with the pigeons that she usually wants to please, she immediately shows her dissatisfaction.

The young man can see clearly, but he doesn't need to please these people, he only needs to please one of the people who are the most difficult to please, and it is enough.

......

In the small wooden house, which was littered with all kinds of messy book pages, an old man sitting at a long solid wood table was contemplating a piece of parchment.

On the parchment, something is recorded in a strange kind of words and symbols, dense like earthworms, which others cannot understand, but he can see clearly.

Spreading all sorts of equally complex parchments disorderly on the table, his gaze swept sharply up and down, as if studying something, a little frustrated.

As soon as he had an idea, the old man took quick notes, and his old hands seemed to be full of strength, and he wrote like a flowing spring, and soon it was two pages.

And when the inspiration came to an abrupt end, he pondered the results in his hand, frowning slightly, but the more he looked at the links, the more dissatisfied he became......

The pigeon gently entered the house and closed the door, accustomed to the slightly chaotic sound of the pages in the house, trying not to make a sound.

The silk doll was placed in a washed silver dish, covered with a glass cover, and then cleaned up the table and went out again.

After opening the storeroom, the pine wood for making ink was neatly stacked, and all the tools needed by the old man were placed neatly one by one, and after marking them clearly, the sound in the room was quiet.

The young man pondered the time, and could not hear the sound of the tip of the pen rubbing against the paper, so he said, "I got a new food from the farmhouse, would you like to taste it?"

"No, I don't. ”

It was rare for the people inside to respond so quickly, and every time he was willing to take care of himself, it was when he was hungry, and the young man tacitly went to prepare for food.

Meals for the elderly are very ordinary.

Meal times are often chaotic, so the youth will eat early and then prepare the food that the elderly need at the meal.

The old man often forgets to eat, so he will prepare something that he can chew from time to time, and the food he usually eats is also cold.

This time, though, it's a little strange.

Under the strange gaze of the old man, the young man brought in two tables, and after arranging his bread, lamb chops, wine, and other food, he prepared a table for himself.

Directly opposite him.

The old man looked at it and couldn't help but wrinkle his eyebrows: "What are you doing here?"

"You have only eaten two loaves of bread and drank a little wine for three days, and for the sake of your body, I will watch you finish it," the young man replied respectfully, but the words that came out made the old man depressed, "I have not eaten enough, and I have just eaten with you." ”

The young man said, he had already set up the silk doll for himself, and without waiting for the old man to move, he had already started it himself.

The old man glanced at him, didn't say anything, frowned at the parchment in his hand, thought about it, put it aside for the time being, and walked helplessly to the table.

I found out that I was really tired, and I couldn't even walk very well, it seems that people are old, and it's really not good to forget to sleep and eat so much.

But before he could reach for his food, he was attracted by the movement of the young man.

The young man was close to him, and although he maintained respect for him because of his status, because he grew up beside him, he was occasionally lazy to be polite.

But like now, eating so selflessly and intoxicated, the old man couldn't help but take a few more looks.

I don't know what this guy eats, it's colorful, he can't see clearly, and the sound is a bit like biting nuts?

No, it's a bit like the sound of stepping on dead leaves in late autumn, rustling and crunchy, looking at his chewing intoxication, the old man is a little uncomfortable.

However, seeing that others were eating so deliciously, he also had a wonderful appetite, and as he sat down, he could not help but look at the pigeons a few more times.

The old man's face was full of suspicion, thinking that this kid is usually a person who loves cleanliness, and he doesn't know what kind of food he took from the roof and ate it so deliciously?

The young man didn't say anything, he knew that the old man was watching him, but he just wanted this effect, and he continued to eat, regardless of it......

That voice, click, really gets more and more tempting the more you listen to it.

Seeing that the young man poured a spoonful of red and bright "sauce" evenly on the vegetables, he took advantage of the moment when the sauce overflowed and sent it into his mouth at once.

"What do you eat?"

The old man really took the bait.
