Red apricots make spring

Chapter 153
Lu Chenzhou picked up three chopsticks dishes in a row, and after eating, he drank another glass of wine without making a sound, and then he let out a sigh of relief and gave a big praise!

"Little girl, how do you make this dish? It's obviously a cold dish, but it tastes like strong wine in the mouth, it's like a fire burning from the mouth straight into the stomach, it's so hot that it's so delicious!" Lu Chenzhou laughed loudly, and then Picking up a few chopsticks and vegetables, he ate slowly, nodded and sighed: "This reminds me of my military career in the first half of my life. Every time I go to battle with the enemy, I have to drink a bottle of strong wine first, and the blood in my body is full of blood. Boiling!"

Wenrou smiled slightly when she heard the words. In fact, this bit of spicy is not as exaggerated as Lu Chenzhou said. It just reminded him of those years of life and death on the battlefield, so he praised it so much.She slowly spread her fisted left hand, stretched it out in front of Lu Chenzhou and said, "Old General, the dishes are nothing special, just add this seasoning."

"This is—" Lu Chenzhou stopped his chopsticks, squinted at the bright red in Wen Rou's palm, but couldn't tell what it was.

"That's pepper, which is said to be poisonous." Lu Ce explained from the side, and after he finished speaking, he took a chopstick of spicy food and put it in his mouth to savor it.

"Poisonous?" Lu Chenzhou frowned slightly, and then said in relief: "If it was poisonous, wouldn't the little girl use it for cooking? I think it was mistaken for poisonous because it burns people's mouth."

"The old general is very knowledgeable." Wenrou is not flattering, but seeing that Lu Chenzhou didn't show any surprise on his face when he heard that pepper was poisonous, so he admired his courage very much.As expected, he was a military commander, and he was more calm in his heart, without so many self-righteous suspicions.

The strange way is to say that old children, when people are old, they will indeed return to basics.Lu Chenzhou was even more excited after being praised, pointing to the spicy dish next to the assorted white meat roll and asked: "What's the name of this dish? This old man tastes like chicken!"

"It's chicken." He said with a gentle smile, "This dish is called Bang Bang Chicken."

"What a weird name." Lu Ce also smiled slightly. He had just tasted this dish, and the taste was just as Lu Chenzhou said. It was scorching in the mouth. It was not acceptable at first, but the aftertaste was lingering, and the tip of the tongue was a bit spicy. The spicy and fragrant feeling will attract people's appetite.

"This dish is made of chicken breast and leg meat. After cooking, it needs to be lightly patted with a wooden stick, so it is called Bang Bang Chicken." He poured a glass of wine for Lu Chenzhou with a gentle smile and continued: "Although it is made of chicken , but without bones, it’s easy to eat.”

"Very good!" Lu Chenzhou said happily, "I don't like to eat meat that needs to spit out bones."

"This dish is called Husband and Wife's Lung Slices, and it's made with beef and beef offal." Rourou pointed to another dish and introduced: "I don't know where the boys bought the beef and beef offal today, but the old general has a good taste." " She said, and she couldn't help picking up her chopsticks. It's been a long time since ancient times, and she hasn't eaten beef yet!

The three of them sat and ate vegetables, drank two glasses of wine, and then talked about delicious food. The atmosphere during the dinner was harmonious.But Ruan still didn't sit for a long time, when the cold dishes on the table were almost finished, she stood up and said that she was going to cook hot dishes, and temporarily left the table.

Speaking of it, the spicy hot pot is actually Wen Rou's favorite thing, it is easy to eat and cook, but it is summer after all, and there is no air conditioner, besides Lu Chenzhou is old, Wen Wen is afraid that he will not be able to stand the heat, so I still didn't dare to make hot pot, so I just made a big bowl of Maoxuewang, which is a little bit like hot pot.The rest of the hot dishes were also prepared in equal proportions of spicy and non-spicy, and taught the maids to serve them.

When Lu Ce ate Mao Xue Wang, his mind moved, and it brought back the memories of those days when he often ate duck blood vermicelli soup at the Ruan Ye stall.At that time, he had just had a falling out with his family, and he was very depressed. Looking back on the days of a bottle of wine, a few dishes of stewed dishes, and a bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup every night, he felt more deeply, and he didn’t feel that he was picking up too much with his chopsticks. several times.

"Young girl is not bad." Lu Chenzhou gnawed on Dongpo's elbow and praised him again.

Lu Ce put down his chopsticks and smiled, "Grandpa, you have said this several times today."

"Is there any?" Lu Chenzhou swallowed his elbow, went to boil the sliced ​​meat again, and said with a smile, "When one is old, it is inevitable to be long-winded. But I said, you eat such delicious dishes every day, and you don't have any thoughts in your mind?"

"Can you have any ideas?" Lu Ce stretched out his chopsticks, put the green vegetables at the bottom of the chopsticks in the bowl containing the braised lion's head, put them on Lu Chenzhou's dish, and persuaded him: "Even though the meat is good, you can't skip the vegetables. "

"I like meat, but I don't like vegetables!" Lu Chenzhou stared, picked out the vegetables with chopsticks and said: "It's rare to eat meat once, don't be like your father, and make me unhappy. "As he spoke, he squinted at Lu Ce and said, "What are your plans? Don't be bored all the time, tell grandpa."

"Plan?" Lu Ce frowned slightly as he stared at the vegetables that had been picked out from the dish.

Lu Chenzhou retreated the servant girl, scooped up a large spoonful of hot waist flowers and said, "Do you have any plans to make the fake show come true?"

"Do you think it's possible?" Lu Ce glanced at him.

"What's impossible? Haven't you already taken her in?" The kidneys were cooked just right, not long after they were served, they were still a little hot, they were tender and crispy when chewed, and Lu Chenzhou scooped up another big spoonful.

"It was forced to accept it." Lu Ce said seriously.

"So you're not interested in her?" Lu Chenzhou narrowed his eyes and smiled, "If that's the case, according to your temper, you wouldn't have rescued her in front of the Holy One, right?"

Lu Ce was stunned by the question. In fact, he didn't know exactly what kind of feelings he had for Wenrou in his heart.When I first ate at her stall, I saw that she was disguised as a man. At that time, I just thought that the girl was bold and interesting, but I didn't care.But that time when the bastards went to her stall to make trouble, he thought to himself that those guys would not make a big fuss, and watched with cold eyes. Afterwards, the series of small actions she made when she was angry and then regretted, all fell into his eyes. Here, after thinking about it carefully, I really think that this girl is calm and cute, and I have a slight affection for her in my heart.

Because of this faint favor, he would secretly help her when those hooligans caused trouble and smashed her stall again later, but he didn't want her to know, for fear that she would feel that she owed him something and would repay her favor. .To him, doing this kind of thing is just a matter of effort. He didn't want to see a woman who worked hard for her life suffer such setbacks. He didn't have the desire to ask for something in return, so he thanked him gently, but he just denied it.

When Wen Rou's stall was about to move, he timidly told him the address, but he never planned to go.In his feeling, tenderness is like a ray of warm wind that comes across on a cold road, bringing some warmth, but after the wind passes, he still has to move on, it is impossible to turn around and run after the wind, let alone her The stall moved too far away, not on the way, and he didn't rush there on purpose, just for the reason of eating something, so he never went there.

Who would have thought that the fate of life is really a strange thing, that day Shen Mengyi pestered him and asked him to accompany him to the temple to offer incense, but he had nothing to do, so after he couldn't evade it, he agreed.On the way back, Shen Mengyi saw the signboard of the pastry shop, and suddenly wanted to try it, so she asked him to get out of the car to buy it. Unexpectedly, when he entered the shop, the first thing he saw was a girl in women's clothing, who wanted to avoid entering the inner room. she.

The feeling of that moment is really amazing.He obviously thought that he would never see her again for the rest of his life. After walking for a while, he turned a corner and raised his head, only to find that she was standing in front of his eyes again.However, this was just a chance encounter, which doesn't explain anything at all. The best way to deal with it is to smile slightly and then pass by again. But that day he was still a little surprised and slightly joyful, so when he left the shop, he just smiled. She said a word too much, and she didn't know whether she was heard by Shen Mengyi or Lu'e. Two days later, Shen Mengyi actually invited her to Shen's residence to teach her how to make pastries, and Shen Mengan also started to pester her for some reason.

This was completely beyond his expectations. Seeing Shen Mengan's criss-crossing flowers, the all-pervasive romantic young man was so angry with her that he lost his composure. He was moved a little bit sincerely and found it novel, but he still wanted to hide it for her. Worried, I want to wait and see how the situation develops, see if she really doesn't want to get involved with Shen Mengan, and then consider whether to solve the trouble for her.

At the end when the Shen residence held a banquet, she was favored by the Holy Majesty and wanted to be included in the palace. The occurrence of this series of events probably had to be traced back to the words he babbled when the sun rose from the shop.Seeing her kneeling in front of the Holy One pleading resignation to enter the palace, and being asked about it with a deathly expression on her face, it seemed that she would not enter the palace after death, so he had no choice but to stand up and help her out of this siege, which was originally caused by him He had to bear the responsibility, but he never expected that the Holy One would give him a concubine with a golden mouth!

This result was something neither of them wanted.Just looking at her annoyance and frustration at the time, she knew that she didn't want to be his concubine, and if he wanted to marry someone, he also hoped to be consensual, and didn't like this kind of compulsory gift.Perhaps in the eyes of others, it is an honor for the Holy Majesty Chrysostom to bestow marriage, but he felt that it was a kind of coercion that could not be refused. All had to temporarily compromise.

In the short few days that followed, she often made him feel surprised and amazed. Many of her characteristics were not found in those ladies who came from the rich and powerful families that he was more often in contact with. Maybe she was not educated enough. Dali is dignified and elegant, but his demeanor is calm and composed, not pretentious, and he doesn't bring a bit of pettiness because of his background in the market. He is still like a ray of breeze, slowly blending into his heart.

He didn't know what this meant, all his feelings towards her were faint, from liking to caring, not as strong as wine, only the aftertaste of tea...
