"That's good." The old man nodded again and again, and his hand was not returned.

“……”

The old man with such a thick skin, his own cheek still had to step up his further study, Lin Piao secretly grinded his teeth.

Shen Hong lowered his eyes and opened the lid and poured some for Mr. Zhuqing, and the old man was not ashamed at all, chewing rattle.

"It's really crispy, you can see the heat when you fry it, if the moisture of these little things is not fried, it will taste soft and soft, this is very good." Old man commented.

"Sister-in-law hasn't eaten yet."

When the old man Zhuqing heard Shen Hong say this, he raised his voice and called the servant: "Go to the dining hall and ask for another meal." ”

"Mr. Xie." Lin Piao is very well-behaved, so this will rub him back.

Lin Piao looked at the meat roasted on the stove, the fragrance had begun to waft out, and the old man Zhuqing also began to stare intently at the meat on the stove, the lamb chops took a long time, so he stared at the pork belly that was bubbling with oil, turned it over several times, and saw that there was a layer of slightly charred skin and picked it up.

Lin Piao found a place next to the stove and put the copper kettle next to it to bake: "The milk is cold, bake it to warm up, I specially asked the store to put a spoonful of sugar in it, no more, no less, it must be sweet and silky when you drink it." Lin Piao said and twisted his wrist slightly, moving to develop a sour feeling.

Shen Hong looked at his wrist that was on his lap and made some small movements from time to time: "Sister-in-law next time someone comes, you don't have to bring so many things, you can bring it when you go home every five days." ”

"I'm here, I'm going to bring you something to eat, do you see if the milk is warm?" Take a cup and pour some to drink. ”

"Wen Shuo's family has to send some things to him every day or two, and if my sister-in-law has something she wants to send next time, ask the Wen family's father-in-law first, and ask him to send it together."

"Oh?" There is such a good thing, Lin Piao's eyes lit up, wouldn't it be possible to use this to send milk and things to Shen Hong from time to time and not have to climb the mountain by himself?

"I'll go back and ask the Wen family's brother and talk to him about it to see if it's too troublesome."

Shen Hong nodded, stretched out his hand and landed on the copper kettle, his fingers touched, the copper kettle was already warm, he took three teacups and put them on the table, Lin Piao said righteously: "I don't drink, adults don't drink children's things." ”

What's more, people talk about wine, and they talk about milk is too weird.

I want to say that I tasted Mr. Zhuqing: "......"

"Ahem, I don't need it, Shen Hong, drink it."

Shen Hong poured the cup in front of him, took it and drank it slowly, he didn't like to eat sweet things, he felt that the milk cake was a little too sweet, but the sugar in the milk was just right, it was a trace of sweetness, and it was also a sweet milk fragrance after careful taste.

The servant quickly brought the food box in and put it next to Lin Piao, Lin Piao opened it and looked, the mountain really ate well, three dishes, one soup and a bowl of rice, all of which were more homely stir-fried dishes, not as elegant as imagined, but it should be very delicious, the soup was a meatball soup with Ulva cabbage, the lettuce floated in the soup bowl, a few small pork balls with the right fat and thin ratio were mixed in it, the two-layer food box, several small plates and small bowls were crowded together, Lin Piao brought out the meal, and finally started lunch after a tiring morning, The empty stomach was eaten.

While eating, I couldn't help but look at the small oven, although the food in the academy was good, but the aroma of barbecue wafting in front of my nose was too much......

The small stove was far away from Lin Piao, and Lin Piao was embarrassed to stretch out his hand to pick up vegetables in front of the stern old man he met for the first time.

Shen Hong silently took another pair of clean chopsticks, and from time to time put some barbecue meat for him on the plate, and when Lin Piao began to gnaw on the lamb chops, Mr. Zhuqing watched silently, and after getting along for a while, he liked this little brother's frank temperament very much, seeing that he ate so deliciously, and getting along with Shen Hong was as warm and natural as a family, it was not good to say anything rude, although it was indeed rude to eat like this in front of a foreign man, but think about him as an old man, what kind of foreign man, So he looked at Shen Hong and stroked his beard gently.

"Your sister-in-law has a simple temperament and is very good."

"......" Lin Piao paused as he munched on the lamb chops.

How is it good to be scolded?

What does this old man mean, everyone has eaten lamb chops, why is it rustic when he gnaws it?

"My sister-in-law has always been like this, and Hong also thinks it's very good."

His cub said he was fine and shouldn't be a big problem.

Lin Piao, with his trust in Shen Hong, continued to lower his head and eat.

Shen Hong took a handkerchief and put it in Lin Piao's hand, Lin Piao wiped his hands and mouth elegantly after eating, and looked at the meat on the plate, Shen Hong and Mr. Zhuqing had both eaten, and half of it was roasted, and there was still half left, but now that the weather is cool, it is the same to continue to eat in the afternoon.

Lin Piao had already eaten lunch at the academy, thinking that they were about to start classes and that it was time for him to leave, but sure enough, after a while, Mr. Zhuqing stood up: "I'm going to give a lecture, Shen Hong, you can sit with your sister-in-law for a while." ”

"Yes."

As soon as the old man Zhuqing left, Lin Piao relaxed: "You gentleman is really fierce, he talks at the top of his voice all day long, he usually doesn't treat you like this all the time, right?" ”

"Mr. Zhuqing has a bold temper, but he is a little more explosive."

Lin Piao was silent.

is worthy of a child who has read a book, who is arrested and yelled at whom, this is a bit bold and a bit explosive? It's just a bit of an exaggeration.

Shen Hong smiled at him, and seemed to know what he meant, the two didn't speak for a while, Lin Piao saw Shen Hong smiling, and knew that he knew what he meant, and immediately laughed, and didn't forget to whisper after laughing.

"Murderous death."

"Next time my sister-in-law comes to look for me, just go to the house where I live and wait for me, ask someone to pass the word, and I'll be here soon."

"I only said I wanted to look for you, so I grabbed someone to lead the way, and the man brought me over at once, miscalculated."

"Sister-in-law can ask the location of the dormitory next time."

"Got it."

Shen Hong stood up and began to pack up the food box, and the things that Lin Piao brought were basically left, packed the food box, and put it in Lin Piao's hand.

Lin Piao knew that it was time to go down the mountain, and at this time he was going down the mountain just to go home to catch dinner.

So tired......

Thinking that Shen Hong had to climb the mountain back and forth like this every time he went home, Lin Piao simply admired his physical strength, and he was worthy of being a young man.

Lin Piao put on the food box: "Okay, I'll go back." ”

Shen Hong stood up: "I'll send my sister-in-law." ”

"Don't send it, go to class."

"Accompany my sister-in-law for a walk, my sister-in-law just came, and I haven't looked at the academy yet."

Lin Piao thought about it and did take a look at the passing by of Ma Guanhua.

When the two of them walked out of the courtyard, Shen Hong sent him outside, and from time to time he explained to him the names of these courtyards, what their specific functions were, whether they were places to store books, places to eat, or places to hold classes.

"I see that there is an eaves far away, so what are you doing in such a distance?" Lin Piao turned his head to look behind him and could see a little bit of the top of the building.

"There's a shooting range over there, and I have to practice archery occasionally."

Lin Piao nodded again and again, the academy is really professional enough.

"Horseback riding?"

"Not often, but I also need to learn a little bit of riding."

"You ride a horse and pay attention to safety."

"Hong knows, sister-in-law, don't worry."

From time to time on the road, there were a few scattered students walking outside for unknown reasons, and they would greet Shen Hong when they saw him, and Shen Hong would also greet them.

Shen Hong maintained a very perfect and breezy smile in front of others in the academy, showing politeness and gentleness, as if he was willing to help others, but he didn't smile so often in front of himself.

Wow, this kid has a bit of a strong sense of mask......

Lin Piao touched the back of his neck and silently didn't speak, after all, although Shen Hong pretended to be outside, he never pretended to go home, he laughed when he should laugh, and he kept his face lightly.

Lin Piao thought about it and quickly relieved himself, people are floating in the rivers and lakes, there is nothing wrong with pretending, Shen Hong does not want to be injured is the most important thing, so he talked and laughed again.

As the two of them spoke, they arrived at the gate of the academy, Lin Piao walked up the stairs, walked down step by step, and when he turned around, he saw Shen Hong standing by the stone tablet looking at him, so he beckoned: "Go to class, I'll go back." ”

It was a little far away, and Lin Piao couldn't see the expression on Shen Hong's face clearly, only seeing his jaw.

It is much more comfortable to carry the empty food box down the mountain, Lin Piao walks while looking at the scenery, the air around is good, it is the early spring when everything sprouts, everywhere there are tender green and yellow buds growing on the trees, some have grown new leaves in the wind swaying.

Seeing that he was about to reach the foot of the mountain, Lin Piao breathed a sigh of relief again, and walked all the way into the county hall, and when he returned home, he saw that his second aunt and Uncle Qiu were preparing dinner.

Looking at the pots of meat and vegetables prepared by the stove, there were chickens, rabbits, and a large bowl of chopped pickled peppers next to them.

"Aunt Qiu! Let's eat so well in the afternoon, huh? ”

The second aunt looked at him happily: "Let's invite Master Wen to dinner in the afternoon." ”

"What? He hasn't come to dinner yet, has he? ”

"Eat, he has taken away the things at noon, I thought about what he likes to eat, so I said that let's make pickled pepper rabbit delicious, yesterday at noon, we didn't entertain him well, this time it was good to treat him, he also agreed, said come in the afternoon, by the way, how about you go to the academy to see Shen Hong? Shen Hong is okay in the academy, right? ”

"It's not bad, he is much better than I thought in the academy, those gentlemen like him very much, and often ask him to eat together, and as soon as I went, I bumped into a gentleman named Zhuqing, really."

"Shall we, sir? Doesn't sound good? ”

"That old man, with a bad temper and a thick skin, has not yet yelled at me a few times." Lin Piao went home and didn't forget to complain.

"Why? Indiscriminately murdered us Piao'er, did he later know that you were Shen Hong's sister-in-law? ”

"Later, it would be better to know, as long as people are okay, and they are not always fierce when they get along, anyway, it doesn't matter, just be good to Shen Hong, and I don't want to be his student, I love to be fierce to him."

"That's it, Piao'er has been wronged, come over and try the food."

Lin Piao walked over and saw that the sour radish duck was stewed in the pot, so he quickly suppressed his shocked expression, and there were actually ducks, which was too high.

"These chickens, ducks, and rabbits have all been slaughtered?"

"Distinguished guests, don't they have something to do with the Sun family? Let's entertain him well, and we will be able to live well in this realm in the future. ”

Lin Piao nodded, thinking that there was no need for this connection, and the Sun family's little bit of caution would probably be remembered in the next life, but the dishes were all prepared, and it would not be a waste for Master Wen to eat.

Uncle Qiu sat on the side and chose vegetables: "By the way, I don't know if I think too much, in the past two days I always feel that the catcher likes to go to our alley, I heard that he is in charge of this area, but before he patrolled the alley once a day or two, and saw that no one made trouble, and if there was something to do, he had to go to the county government to find talent, and now he always went to the alley, and today he inexplicably said to the second sister-in-law, if there is something to find him, he will definitely keep the peace of the party, you say is not inexplicable." ”

The second aunt also nodded: "That's it, I was startled when she suddenly came to talk to me, and the meat skewers were almost baked after I didn't look at them on the shelf for a while." ”

Lin Piao thought about it, and it seemed that he had walked back and forth at the door of his small grocery store several times in the past two days, but he didn't come up to speak, and it seemed that there was no such phenomenon before.

Lin Piao sat down to help choose vegetables, the crisp vegetables were broken, and Lin Piao's thinking diverged in this sound: "When he said these words, did he mean to collect protection money?" ”

The second aunt was not happy when she heard this: "No, although we make money in this small business, there is no reason for him to be given in vain, and Piao'er, you and Shen Hong also know Lord and Mrs. Xiancheng, how dare he come here to ask for it." ”

Lin Piao also nodded: "Whether he means this or not, or if he has other meanings, anyway, if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move, let's see what he means first, we will definitely not let him earn our money for nothing, and our money is not blown by the wind." ”

"Yes."

The three of them chatted about the topic, and soon it was time for the students to get out of school, and Erzhu and Ergou came back from outside, and by this time the meal was almost ready, the soup was grunting on the small stove, and the dishes were covered in the pot.

As soon as Erzhu entered the door, his eyes lit up when he saw them: "What day is it today, eating so well?" Shen Hong is back? There are no five days, right? ”

Ergou also had a similar reaction when he entered the door: "I smell the smell of pickled pepper rabbit, and I haven't tasted it for a long time since I arrived at the county government." ”

The second aunt looked at them: "Wipe your saliva, you are going to entertain guests today, you two don't look like you have never eaten in eight lifetimes for others to see." ”

Ergou and Erzhu immediately straightened their attitudes, and after asking who the guest was, they restrained a little.

Lin Piao sat next to him, and had already made a bowl of sour radish duck soup to drink, and when Master Wen came to start the meal, all the dishes were put on the table.

Master Wen smelled the smell and praised again and again: "It's very interesting, it's very interesting, I haven't seen such a dish in Luodu." ”
