Chapter 5 Dabi
A large table of twelve dishes was full of color and aroma, as if countless elves were spinning around in front of Tang Xiaoqi's eyes, shouting, "Eat me, come and eat me!" "Tang Xiaoqi hasn't eaten so many delicacies from the mountains and seas since he crossed over, after all, the Tang family is not poor for a day or two, at most eating a little egg is considered a delicacy, not to mention this big table of chicken, duck and fish dishes.
"Eat quickly, don't be stupid, it's my horse that has tired the girl today, so I'll accompany the girl here first." Tang Jieyang raised his glass and drank all the wine in the cup.
"It's okay, besides, I'm not a big deal, you still eat so many delicious things from me." Tang Xiaoqi sandwiched a small piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth, "Well, the taste is good, and spices are added to enhance the taste!" ”
"Can you eat it?" Tang Jieyang also took a bite with a smile, "Tell me what it is." ”
"Cinnamon star anise and peppercorns are a must-have, as well as ...... Tangerine peel lotus seeds, how can there be lemon juice? ”
"What is lemon juice?"
"Isn't that sweet and sour lemon juice? Rich layering, but also fishy and greasy. ”
"It's citrus." Although Tang Jieyang didn't know what the lemon juice she was talking about, he could still guess it based on her description, "Last year, I accidentally found that this citrus fruit can remove the smell and relieve greasyness, so I added it to the dish, but I didn't expect it to be successful." Anyway, what is the lemon juice in your mouth? ”
"Ah, nothing." Tang Xiaoqi forgot that there might not be lemon juice at this time, so he could only divert the topic, "This soup is too fragrant!" ”
"The recipe for this soup was also something I came up with after studying it for a long time." Tang Xie Yang replied proudly, "I really didn't choose the wrong person, when I first met you, I thought you were different from other girls, but now it seems that this is really the case, why do you study food so well?" ”
Tang Xiaoqi put the spoon in his mouth and winked mischievously, "This is a foodie's self-cultivation, but why, it's a secret!" As he spoke, he took a piece of fish and put it in his mouth, then frowned.
"What's wrong? Isn't this fish tasty? ”
Tang Xiaoqi chewed twice and swallowed: "It's nothing, there are thorns." "It's really nothing, it's just that the fish isn't very fresh.
After the two of them were eating and chatting and eating and drinking enough, it was already noon, Tang Xiaoqi suddenly remembered what she was here to do, "Yes, I forgot, I came to find my father!" ”
"Why don't I go with you to find it, it's okay if I come anyway." Tang Jieyang put down the Liu wine glass in his hand and stood up.
"No!" Tang Xiaoqi waved his hand, "It's not a big deal, I'll just go by myself." ”
"Well, you little girl have to be careful outside, or ...... You have a good bracelet on your hand, can you show it to me? Tang Jieyang's attention was attracted by the carved wooden bracelet in her hand, and asked out loud.
Tang Xiaoqi held his wrist and turned it a few times, wanting to take off the bracelet, but he couldn't take it off no matter how hard he tried, so he had no choice but to stretch out his hand.
"This is what my mother asked for from a Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest said that my life was not good, so he gave me this wooden bracelet and said that it could ward off evil spirits!"
Tang Jieyang looked at the begonia flower pattern on the wooden bracelet and was stunned, he always felt that he had seen it somewhere but he couldn't think of it at all, so he could only give up, "I'll send you out." ”
"Okay."
The two went downstairs talking and laughing, attracting sideways glances from people in the restaurant.
"Then say it, in the future, you Tang Jieyang will be my brother!"
"Okay, in the future, you will always have a friend like me in the capital, just come to the Tang Mansion to find me if you have anything." Tang Jieyang untied a half-dragon-shaped jade jue from his waist and stuffed it into Tang Xiaoqi's hand, "You take this to the Tang Mansion in the capital, and they will know." ”
"Good!"
A fat woman in the corner of the restaurant fanned her fan angrily, "I'm so angry!" It's that dead girl who is disobedient, why is he still scolding me, master! ”
"Mother Cui, you dissipate your anger, in a few days, that girl will marry to the county government, and she is not at your disposal, and I am afraid that she will make some waves as a teenage girl."
Cuixi snorted coldly, the speed of the fan in her hand sped up a little, and she stretched out her hand to block the fierceness on her face with the fan.
"Mother Cui, what you said two days ago to help me talk about Xiaofen's kiss......
"You just put a hundred and twenty hearts, I will definitely let the two of you succeed, but I have to deal with the little girl of the Tang family first."
"Mother Tsui...... Look over there, why is that woman so familiar? ”
Cui Xi matchmaker said that the official pointed in the direction of the officer's finger, and found that Tang Xiaoqi and Tang Jieyang were talking and laughing out of the restaurant.
"Dead girl!" Cuixi matchmaker was furious, ran over with the corner of her skirt, and slapped Tang Xiaoqi on the back, "Dead girl!" How dare you get so close to other men, you are going to marry someone from the county order, do you have any rules! If you are found by the county order, a few heads are enough for you to drop! ”
Tang Xiaoqi was unprepared and stumbled to be photographed, but fortunately, Tang Jieyang quickly grabbed her and balanced her body, he turned his head angrily and glared at Cuixi Matchmaker, and then asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ”
"It's fine." Tang Xiaoqi rubbed the aching back, and when he turned around, he saw Cuixi matchmaker standing in place more angry than her, with one hand on her waist and the other hand holding a fan, "It's you?" ”
"It's me, what's the matter, I've been caught and my heart is weak? I said how can you shirk it in every possible way, it turns out that there is someone, but you don't look at how this person can look at you if he is so well dressed, isn't it good that you are honestly preparing to marry the county magistrate? When you go to the prefectural office, you are the mother of the house......"
"Stop!" Tang Xiaoqi hurriedly interrupted her, for fear that the more she talked, the more outrageous it became, and she had arranged where to bury herself after she died, "Didn't I say it, this matter will not be determined until my father comes back, and I am friends with him, don't talk nonsense!" ”
Cuixi's matchmaker was full of suspicion, leaned over and looked at Tang Jieyang on the side carefully, and suddenly smiled: "The son is so good-looking, but he has a wife?" The attitude changed as quickly as turning a book, as if it wasn't her who was angry at Tang Xiaoqi just now.
Tang Xie Yang snorted coldly: "This son's private affairs are also what you can ask?" ”
"......" Tang Xiaoqi was full of black lines, "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first, you guys talk slowly!" After that, he glanced at Tang Jieyang frantically, and then turned around and slipped away directly.
Tang Xie Yang didn't react for a while, and then his figure flashed, blocking Cui Xi's matchmaker's sight and way, "Don't you want to know if I become a pro-horse?" Come in and talk slowly. ”
"Eh, but ......"
"But what is it? I'll change my mind later! Tang Jieyang hurriedly grabbed Cuixi's matchmaker and dragged her into the restaurant.
