217. Home-cooked food
The middle-aged man introduced two maids to Bai Gu, "These two are twin sisters, so they look the same." The one with a red forehead band on her head is her sister, whose name is Jiaoxia. The other is my sister, whose name is Yosu. ”
The two maids saluted in turn.
Wang Xizhou suddenly, "It seems to be like a light cloud covering the moon, and fluttering like the snow of the wind." Looking at it from afar, it is as bright as the sun rising to the morning glow; Forced to observe it, the scorching waves appeared. The fiber is heartfelt, and the fit is shortened. If the shoulders are cut, the waist is as plain. It turns out that the names of several boy maids are derived from "Luoshen". ”
Light clouds, bright clouds, waves, yosu.
The middle-aged man nodded, "Yes, I am also picking up people's teeth and wisdom, and I am the crystallization of the wisdom of my predecessors." ”
After Jiaoxia came back from fetching water, she whispered to the middle-aged man, "Sir, the drifting snow has been prepared, is it going to be served?" ”
The middle-aged man smiled at a few people: "It's also time for the lunch market, I don't know if you can appreciate your face and try my bamboo shoots here." My chef Liuxue has first-class cooking skills and excellent dishes. ”
Wang Xizhou nodded, "It's an honor." ”
Bai Gu raised his hand and asked, "Senior Zhusheng, is there any meat?" If it's vegan, this may have to be reconsidered. ”
The middle-aged man looked at Kyaukxia.
"Drift Snow has arranged meat, please rest assured."
Bai Gu nodded with satisfaction, and then explained with some embarrassment: "I have a lot of food, and my sister likes to eat meat, so she rarely eats vegetarian dishes." ”
"That's okay, I sometimes ask Drift Snow to arrange an all-meat meal. The taste of eating meat in a big gulp is really good. ”
Wang Xizhou looked at the middle-aged man with some surprise in his eyes.
In his impression, a middle-aged man who can be elegant and eats meat with a mouth full of oil, these two are not very compatible.
As if he knew the doubts in Wang Xizhou's heart, the middle-aged man smiled and said: "No matter how upright and elegant I am, I am still a human after all, and I can't avoid appetite." Eating meat is one of the few hobbies I have. ”
Wang Xizhou blushed slightly, "Zhusheng's predecessors acted reasonably, but Xizhou took it for granted." ”
Bai Gu took out a small cloth bag and handed it out, "I was reckless just now, and I have nothing to apologize for, please don't dislike this little thing." ”
After Jiaoxia took it, it was handed over to the middle-aged man. The latter uncovered the cloth, and when he saw the things in it, he first smiled dumbly, and then looked at it, and the expression on his face became a little strange, "Honorable guest, this thing, is it small?" ”
Bai Gu scratched his head, "It's just a little salted meat, and it can't be on the table." ”
The middle-aged man's face was even more strange, but he didn't say anything, "Since the distinguished guest has this intention, then I will accept it." ”
As he spoke, the middle-aged man took out a wooden box and put a small cloth bag into it.
Bai Gu asked, "Senior Zhusheng, isn't the salted meat just used to eat?" What do you do when you put it up? ”
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "The things given by the distinguished guests, no matter how big or small, no matter how small, are all Wanjun's intentions, how can they be disposed of at will?" Naturally, it is necessary to keep it for a long time and take it to heart. ”
Bai Gu pretended to nod abruptly.
Ah, yes, yes, this is your territory, you say what you say, you do everything right.
How dare I say you?
The middle-aged man handed the wooden box to Kyaukxia, "It's the same as before, let go of the heart and fast to make offerings." Also, let's serve the food, don't let a few distinguished guests wait for a long time. ”
"Yes, sir."
A short time later, Kyaukxia and Yosu came with a plate of dishes, followed by a young woman in a blue and white dress and a floral apron.
The three of them served all the dishes together, a total of six dishes and one soup.
Stuffed skins, stir-fried choy sum, stir-fried bamboo shoots, braised duck with spring bamboo shoots, stewed chicken with tea tree mushrooms, wild boar sauce meat, bamboo shoots and shredded chicken soup.
The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Although there is no wine, there are a few drinks; Although there are no dishes, there are a few types of food. A few home-cooked dishes, don't dislike it. ”
Looking at the dishes in front of him, Bai Gu's eyes were strange.
Home cooking?
Who's a good person eats so well at home!
Wang Xizhou also smiled: "The mountain is not high, but there are immortals; The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. And just now, Zhusheng's predecessors also said that no matter how big or small, no matter how small, they are all Wanjun's intentions, and they should be treated solemnly and taken to heart. ”
The middle-aged man smiled and nodded.
Bai Gu watched as the three of them brought the pot of bamboo shoots and shredded chicken soup, except for the cook who left and never came back, the two twin sisters stopped moving their steps, and stood straight at the stone table, ready to help scoop the soup and make tea and water.
Seeing that Bai Gu's face was a little disappointed, the middle-aged man asked, "Distinguished guest, is there anything you are not satisfied with the dishes?" ”
"No, no, there is nothing to dislike about the dish. It's just ......" Bai Gu looked serious, "Bamboo senior, don't we have a staple food?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Rao couldn't help but be speechless in his heart for a while with the indifferent nature of a middle-aged man, and then he reluctantly spoke, "I have always disliked the staple food, so I have not been prepared for the spring garden." If you need it, I'll ask them to do it right away. ”
"No, no, no, there is no need for a few sisters to be busy with this little thing anymore." Bai Gu hurriedly waved his hand, and then took out a pack of steamed buns from the Sumeru beads, there were five steamed buns in it, which were very porcelain, and there had to be about two catties.
Originally, there were six steamed buns in a pack, but Bai Gu bought less cakes on the road before, so he took one of them to pad his stomach.
Bai Gu handed over the bag of steamed buns, "Two sisters, please take this and steam it." ”
Kyaukxia was quite calm, and there was nothing unusual after taking the steamed buns, just smiling slightly. Yosu was not so calm, looking directly at the bag of steamed buns, his eyes full of surprise.
Where are the steamed buns so big! These three together have a pound, right?
Wang Xizhou looked at Bai Gu, "Xiaobai, there are eight people here, you just take five out, it doesn't seem to be enough points, right?" ”
"Do you want it too? I thought you could just eat the food. As he spoke, Bai Gu took out two more packets of steamed buns, which were complete packages of six steamed buns, "Then add two more packs, this should be enough." ”
The middle-aged man said helplessly: "Distinguished guest, I don't eat staple food, you can do it yourself." Kyaukxia and the others are not at the same table with us, so they can not be counted. ”
Wang Xizhou stretched out a finger, "I'll be fine." ”
"I'm just like Wang." Flower Evil hurriedly agreed.
"I'll share one with Xinluo." Bai Xiao whispered.
Du Xinluo nodded.
Bai Gu couldn't help but ask, "Don't the two sisters eat together?" So many dishes. ”
Although he ate to the end, Bai Gu could also find a way to wrap it up.
"They have their own meal times, so guests don't have to worry."
"Oh, that's right, let's change it to this bag, it's just right." Bai Gu handed out a complete package of steamed buns and put away the other two packets.
That's fine, and I'll be able to eat more.
Yosu took the bag of steamed buns, and then left the bamboo shed with a cigarette and went to the back kitchen.
The middle-aged man greeted everyone warmly, "Everyone eat first, eat first, the staple food should come soon." ”
Wang Xizhou and Hua Xie just smiled and didn't make any moves.
When visiting elsewhere, the host did not pick up the dishes, and the guests were embarrassed to move the chopsticks.
But this rule doesn't work here in Bai Gu.
This thing is for people with morality and quality, and obviously, Bai Gu doesn't.
So Bai Gu took the lead in picking up the chopsticks, took a chopstick, fried bamboo shoots, and put it in a small white bowl, and then naturally put a chopstick stuffed skin into his mouth.
Then Bai Gu felt several strange gazes sweeping back and forth on him.
"What's the matter, do I have gold on me? Why are you looking at me? Bai Gu asked vaguely as he munched on the stuffed skin.
Wang Xizhou put his hand to his mouth and coughed lightly.
Then a heart voice sounded in Bai Gu's heart.
"Xiaobai, when eating, you have to wait for the host and elders to catch the dishes, and those of us who are guests and juniors can use chopsticks. It's rude for you to do that. ”
Bai Gu secretly rolled his eyes, and then explained to the middle-aged man: "I'm sorry Ha Zhusheng senior, my sister and I used to be comfortable before, there are no rules, you have a lot, understand." ”
The middle-aged man smiled and shook his head, "My rules here are not so heavy, just a few distinguished guests as you like." ”
"Whatever the guest wants." Wang Xizhou said with a smile.
That's what you say, but whoever dares to do that is a real fool.
What does this Zhusheng senior think in his heart, who knows?
Bai Gu was full of indifference, and sandwiched a stewed chicken with chopsticks and tea tree mushrooms, which was a chicken leg, and put it in a small white bowl, and then continued to explain to the middle-aged man, "My sister is afraid of life, so she only eats the things in the bowl, and she doesn't eat them after eating." I, the elder brother, had to help her pick up the vegetables, otherwise she wouldn't have moved the chopsticks to the plate to pick up the vegetables, and she wouldn't eat much when others picked them. And she won't take the initiative to say anything when she's hungry, she will just endure it. ”
"I see, I am shy by nature, and I really can't be harsh too much." The middle-aged man smiled, "Although it is a bit excessive, I still want to say that the sister of the distinguished guest is so dependent on the distinguished guest, in the long run, it is not necessarily a good thing." There are some things that still need to be learned. ”
"It's still small, let's talk about it later."
Bai Gu knew that the middle-aged man was talking about Bai Xiaoxiao's pick-up of vegetables, or, on a deeper level, Bai Xiaoxiao's self-independence.
Bai Gu and Bai Xiaoxiao both know each other, and they also know that Bai Xiaoxiao will be independent one day, and they don't need his brother to help pick up vegetables, and they won't be afraid of the dark and thunder when they sleep alone at night.
These will come sooner or later, but Bai Gu and Bai Xiaoxiao seem to be used to the current way of getting along, as if they are indulging in a sweet dream, and they don't want to wake up to each other.
Both are cowards who have been together for a long time and neither wants to be separated from each other.
Therefore, Bai Gu and Bai Xiaoxiao have a tacit understanding not to touch independent things, and they can delay it.
So much so that Du Xinluo now lives in a room alone, and at first she was scared because the room was too big, but now she is better and can slowly accept it.
The middle-aged man glanced at Bai Gu, then at Bai Xiaoxiao, and didn't say anything more.
Other people's affairs have their own troubles, so why do you worry about being an outsider?
I don't know how many emotions I don't know, and others still don't appreciate it, this kind of thing is the most despised of myself.
It's not worth it.
The middle-aged man smiled and continued to beckon a few people to eat with chopsticks, as if it were his own home.
Wang Xizhou, Hua Xie and Du Xinluo still knew how to restrain themselves, and they all waited until the middle-aged man moved the chopsticks before they began to reach out and touch the chopsticks.
Bai Gu and Bai Xiaoxiao don't care, they continue to do their own thing, they should eat and drink, they don't have Wang Xizhou's so-called rules and politeness, and they eat happily.
When the steamed bun came up, Bai Gu took one and took a bite, then took another one, broke it in half, and gave it to Bai Xiaoxiao and Du Xinluo, and then took another bite of the steamed bun in his bowl.
I saw that my eyelids twitched.
This steamed bun has just come out of the oven, and it can't be hot, can it go down to the mouth?
This guy's mouth is made of iron, right?
Then Josu was distracted by a look from the middle-aged man, and his mood was clarified.
Jiaoxia glanced at her sister who obediently walked to her side, and felt helpless for a while.
Remember to eat but not to play.
However, Kyaukxia didn't have so many complicated thoughts, and continued to pour tea and water for everyone.
There was a wind blowing outside the shed, sweeping the surrounding bamboo leaves to bow their heads and rustle.
At the same time, a spring rain poured down and wet the entire low mountain.
Seeing this, Wang Xizhou couldn't help but say softly: "Thousands of miles of green jade branches are greener, and a stream across the mountain is paid off." ”
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and did not say anything.
Just looking at the scenery without words is the scenery.
