Chapter 14 (1/2)
The path is covered with moss, the wall is separated by green willows, and the pavilion is open and sparse.
Through the moon cave gate of the urging lotus courtyard, there are one scene step by step along the way, with pink walls, green tiles, green bamboos, empty windows, mountains, rocks and plantains. Although the scene is small and full of articles, ah Yao's eyes can't be used at all.
I'm used to the scenery of other courtyard, and I don't think it's much interesting. I'd rather tear it down as a martial arts training ground. But seeing ah Yao's mouth open and dizzying, Pei Shuo feels that there are merits in his yard.
”There's more time to see in the future. Be careful of your feet.”
It's just that she ignores him as the protagonist while looking at the scenery. Pei Shuo still tries his best to brush the sense of existence today.
A Yao said with a smile, ”it's a blessing for my third student to step into Pei's house today. There will be no future.”
These words made the shaking Cui Shengxiang behind her nod secretly.
Pei Shuo stopped and wanted to poke her head: ”forget all the flattery you learned from me and speak well! You are my Savior. You live here. This is your home. ”
Their eyes swept the shaking Cui and Sheng Xiang behind ah Yao, and they both lowered their heads“ Don't let me decide. You don't care what others think. ”
Wu Nian smiled and reached out to touch ah Yao's head.
After that, this is my home?
She was confused and her eyes seemed to be covered with a mist.
This is Pei Shuo's home, not Jiang Yao's. she doesn't know if she can go back in her lifetime.
Just, step by step, with shelter, haven't you reached the first goal? With bread, there will be a house sooner or later.
Pei Shuo's voice was steady, like bewitchment and assurance: ”yes, this is your home. I will treat you well.”
Singing is better than dancing, and commitment is better than eating ~
The loquat garden is named after a loquat in the courtyard, which is similar to the urging lotus courtyard. The urging lotus courtyard protrudes from the water. It is built on the surface of water. The semi arc Pavilion faces a pond and a clear pool, with willows hanging on the bank. It is cool in summer.
Not long after sitting down, the servant girls poured in.
The small porcelain plate is filled with honey milk cucumber and stir fried shrimps, followed by bean porridge, steamed chicken with lotus leaf powder, braised turtledove in brown sauce, Shanjia three crisps, and the table is full of dishes.
The chicken is fresh and tender, with the fragrance of lotus leaves; Bite the turtledove and cook it just like its good meat. The meat is crisp outside and tender inside, and the mouth is full of delicious gravy; Braised chicken has a strong taste and steamed chicken with powder is a bit fresh. As a light vegetable, Shanjia's three crisps are not covered up.
Blanch tender bamboo shoots, mushrooms and wolfberry heads in salt soup, add a little salt and sesame oil, add soy sauce and vinegar, and mix well.
This is a seasonal dish in spring, but it appears at the table in early summer, as if time goes back to early spring.
”Is this mixed with mushroom oil?” Wu Nian was surprised. Ah Yao couldn't stop eating and nodded wildly.
The servant girl next to him said, ”aunt CAI in the back kitchen changed the sesame oil into mushroom oil. Unexpectedly, she was eaten by shamini.”
Several dishes were swept away by a Yao and Pei Shuo. The servant girl took down the empty plate, poached crucian carp, plain steamed duck, crab meal, shark fin, peony lettuce, and brought them up like running water.
Even white rice, rice grains are full, and the smell of rice still has a slight fragrance.
Ah Yao's eyes filled with tears. It seems like three or five years since she last ate rice.
She and Pei Shuo took a big bite of rice and had no image to speak of. On the contrary, she didn't think about it. She took a mouthful of rice and kowtowed thirty times before swallowing it.
The last bowl of white gourd soup is as clear as water. There are no oil flowers, light and little salt. The taste is still very fresh. Life is satisfied and the stomach is full. I really want to rub it.
Wu Nian also put down his chopsticks. The servant girls took away the leftovers and finally brought a small bowl of dessert and lotus seed soup.
