Chapter Ninety-Nine: Egg Porridge
The five aggregates and six poisons, the karmic obstacles of cause and effect, the three souls and the six spirits, are finally ninety-nine to one.
Su Yan woke up from his daze, and it was already pitch black in front of him, and he could only see the warm moonlight. The soft light of the moon wrapped around his body, and there was silence everywhere, except for the sound of the pair of red embroidered cloud shoes stepping behind him.
The red embroidered cloud shoes have touched the ground very carefully, trying not to make a sound. But the ground was uneven after all, and the bottom of the red embroidered cloud shoes and the ground made a friction sound and the sound of broken sand and scattered ash on the ground.
The man in front of him straightened his back, and the hem of his pale yellow clothes behind him froze, condensing in one place.
The spring breeze is steep, with a little chill, but her body is thinner, why did she come out?
Su Yan got up, took the coat she was holding in her hand, and saw that it was her own. He didn't say a word, the two were close, and the sound of thumping heartbeats was obvious.
Su Yan took the cloak and draped it on Hongli's body, "It's cold at night, what are you doing when you come out?"
Hongli yawned and rubbed her sleepy eyes, "As soon as I got up, I felt a little hungry. Seeing you sitting alone at the door, you know that it is windy at night, and you don't take a coat yourself. β
Gollum β
Before Hongli finished speaking, her stomach picked up her words first.
I only heard Su Yan smile clearly, and the laughter was pleasant.
"Are you hungry? I'll cook something for you, what do you want to eat?"
Hongli stretched out her two thin fingers and rhythmically tapped her head, and thought about it carefully, "Hmm, egg drop porridge." β
When Su Yan heard this, this little girl just asked for it, so she led her: "Do you still want to eat egg flower porridge?
But as soon as the words came out, he seemed to regret it again. Now he is no longer the walking money bag, here, not to see what he can cook, but to see what ingredients he has.
But except for the eggs..... There were no ingredients.
In fact, a few days ago, he and Yuezhuo bargained on the street to buy a hen, and wanted to keep it for laying eggs, but at some point, it was stolen and eaten by Hongli.
Fortunately, Hongli stole the eggs that the hen had just hatched before, and it could last a few days.
.........
Gollum β
This stomach seems to be screaming louder and louder.
Hongli pressed her shriveled stomach, and her hungry chest pressed against her back. Ever since I entered this illusion, I haven't eaten well. No, it should be said that since Su Yan's money was spent, he has never eaten enough.
Hongli had a sad face, and suddenly remembered what she wanted to ask him, so she asked, "Su Yan, what were you doing sitting there alone just now?"
Su Yan was not in a hurry to respond to her, first leaned down and took the two raw eggs in the chicken coop, which were still stained with chicken feces.
Then he replied to her: "I didn't do anything." β
The stuck to the eggshell and formed a flat mark, Su Yan was very experienced, first took a few pieces of grass on the side, wrapped the egg, and was stunned for a long time before picking it off.
Then he skillfully scooped up the water in the water tank with a gourd, and washed it in front of his other hand and the egg in his hand for a long time.
There are also a few messy chicken feathers next to the haystack, which are the 'relics' left by the hen when she was alive.
Together with the stove, the firewood was scattered and burned wantonly in the pit made of bricks, and finally the big black pot was hot.
Su Yan took the small gourd scoop in the rice bag, scooped a spoonful, and then used the big gourd scoop to scoop a spoonful of water from the water tank and poured it into the small gourd scoop.
Because the gourd scoop is in the shape of a nest, the rice grains of the white flower are wrapped in water, and the rice grains are mixed with the water and swing in it.
Su Yan stretched out his hand into the clear water, flicked a few times on the left and right sides, and then grabbed the rice grains in the water, feeling the fullness passing through his fingers......
The same is true for pouring water over the gourd noodles. The clear water flowed from Su Yan's fingers to the ground in a column, and the sound of falling water continued.
A large lotus-shaped splash suddenly bloomed on the ground.
The pot was steaming, and Su Yan poured in the oil ground with sesame seeds, which was a little black and didn't look very eye-catching. Then lightly beat the two eggs, and the yolks on the left and right sides and the egg whites rolled down from the edges to the center of the cauldron.
Instantly spread out into a piece, white for white, yellow for yellow.
After molding, yellow and white.
Su Yan put the washed rice into the pot, poured four or five scoops of water, and watched it boil and bubble.
Then he put the lid on the pot, turned to Hongli and said, "Okay, just wait." β
Hongli sneered a few times and swallowed her saliva incessantly.
The moon in the house turned over, didn't smell the porridge outside, didn't hear the movement outside, and slept soundly.
Half a day.
"The porridge is good. β
Su Yan lifted the lid of the pot, and a breath of heat and the fragrance of egg porridge came to his face.
"Be carefulβ"
He pulled the red glass that suddenly came to him behind him, and it seemed that this little fox was so greedy that he was so reckless in order to drink porridge that he was almost burned by the heat.
I can't drink hot porridge in a hurry.
But Hongli couldn't wait to start, rubbing her little hands, "What do you pull me to do, I'm a fox, protected by fur, not afraid of getting hot." β
"Is itβ" Su Yan pretended to be careless, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Are you gluttonous or are you talking big?"
Su Yan recalled that just a few days ago, he knew that the fox was greedy and touched the egg porridge that had just come out of the pot, and as a result, the hot white skin was blistered.
Isn't it the red fox in front of you who loves to talk big?
Such a lesson and not repentance.
Su Yan smiled indifferently, but still helped her put it on her and put it aside to dry.
"Now, you have to dry it for a while, and then eat it when the heat dissipates. β
"I know, I know, I noticed that you've been nagging like Master Yuezhuo lately. Hongli pouted, displeased.
It's not that she's annoyed, just one is enough, and the two of them are nagging together.
There are two flies buzzing around her all day, can you not be upset?
"If you say bad things about your master, aren't you afraid that I will sue?" Su Yan chuckled, and out of nowhere, he brought another small low stool and placed it side by side with the crooked foot from before.
There is a step between the two wooden stools.
Hongli sat down naturally, waving her arms back and forth, shaking around, it was the girl's innocence and carefreeness.
"Don't be afraid, because you are the best to me, even better than Master Yuezhuo has been to me. Hongli smiled, as bright as a lily of the valley.
Su Yan suddenly found that on the right side of Hongli's pink cheek, there was a shallow pear vortex.
There is no left side.
Maybe it was because he didn't dare to look at her carefully before, until today, he had a chance.
"Li'er..... Can I call you that?"
He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, especially carefully.
But the man replied, "Yes." β
Maybe in her eyes, there are not too many complicated feelings.
The 'Li'er' in her mouth is the same as what her master said.
Or rather, it's just that she thinks it's the same.
What kind of thoughts Yuezhuo has with themselves, they themselves know. But the little fox didn't know it.
That's why she was able to answer him so briskly-
Yes.
At this moment, Su Yan could only smile helplessly at Hongli, knowing what it was like.
That was the answer he wanted, but it wasn't.
