Chapter 54 Borrowing Meals

When he returned to his residence in Dongcheng, he put down his magic clothes and rituals. Suddenly, a burst of fragrance came from the air. Xu You worked in Jinglu all morning. He was hungry and his nose was twitching and he came to the yard. There was smoke rising from the next door, and it seemed that the sound of the spatula turning was heard.

So fragrant!

Xu You firmly believes that cooking requires talent. With the same ingredients, the effect of chefs and ordinary people is completely different. Just now, just by smelling the fragrance, saliva is really going to flow out.

Reborn in this era, except for spending a few days in Yixing, he has never been worried about food and clothing since Jinling. He usually eats and drinks, but at least he has reached the level of ordinary gentry. Occasionally, he also enjoys the delicious food of Fang Xiuniang. But compared with the fragrance at this moment, it is slightly worse than that.

Maybe I'm hungry...

Xu You thought about it and said that if you live for a long time, it is necessary to understand the details of your neighbors. Although the possibility of being an enemy is almost zero, it is always right to be prepared for any eventuality.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

Xu You shouted: "Is anyone?"

The man's heavy and rapid footsteps sounded in the yard. The gate of the yard suddenly opened and angrily shouted: "Dog, if you dare to pester it, be careful that I will take your life!"

He was slapped in his hand and was tall and tall. Xu You suddenly suffocated his breathing, as if a mountain in front of the door was coming. He took two steps back in panic and said, "Don't bother, I'm not a bad person!"

The man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square face with a square character, and the densely packed patches on his body could not cover up his appearance. He was full of righteousness. Seeing Xu You standing in front of him, he was stunned and looked around, but did not see anyone else. He frowned and said, "Who are you?"

Xu You pointed to the yard next to him and said, "I live next door and I am a close neighbor to Langjun..."

The man put the bamboo stick in his hand and apologized: "I'm sorry, I thought it was the golfers who were causing trouble in the day..."

Xu You smiled and said, "I have no power to tie a chicken. I have never been bullied and never made any trouble. If you really hit me, I will not be able to get up for a long time."

After hearing Xu You's joke, the man felt even more embarrassed and apologized quickly. Xu You took the opportunity to say, "I live alone and have not had time to make a fire and cook the stove. I'm so hungry in my stomach. I don't know if I can make an excuse to eat? Of course, I will give you enough money for the meal, not for nothing..."

The man turned his body and smiled honestly, saying, "What's the money you can charge for a bite of rice? Just eat it."

"The night is coming, the guests are coming!"

Yelai, good name, but I just don’t know what my surname is?

It was the girl I saw last time. She came out of the house in a simple dress. Seeing Xu You obviously recognized her, she bowed slightly and then returned to the room.

"She doesn't like to talk too much, don't be surprised by your husband! Come on, please sit down."

Sitting down on the stone bench in the yard, the weather was cold and the chill came from his butt, but looking at the man with a big golden sword, An Zhiruyi, Qingming said that his cultivation was not low, so there would be no mistake.

"I am Lin Tong, who was originally from Juzhang, Kuaiji. At that time, the white thief started to chaotic trouble, but he had no choice but to leave his home and stay in Qiantang. He was lucky enough to save his life. Now he sells the characters in the East Market to make a living."

Xu You reported to his house, first dispelling the man's doubts and also plagued his words. The man said, "My name is Sha Sanqing, from Jingzhou. There are no people at home. In his early years, he followed the owner of the boat to escort the troops. Later, he was tired of the bumps on the sea, so he stayed in Qiantang."

"Qiantang beauty land, Brother Sha turned out to be like me, and he was fascinated by the scenery here."

Sha Sanqing shook her head and said, "I am not like Brother Lin, who can live in good mountains and rivers, and you can live in poor mountains and rivers. I have no choice. The reason I stayed in Qiantang is just because it is a cheap home. Although she has no relatives, Qiantang is still a place for birth and raising..."

While talking, the girl came out of the room, carried the cleaned dishes and chopsticks, walked to the thatched shed in the northwest corner, and put two steaming bowls of hot pineapples and walked over. One bowl was first placed in front of Xu You, then handed the other bowl to Sha Sanqing, and then lowered her head and left.

The method of making ginger is more sophisticated. First, use fine silk to sieve the noodles, then mix with gravy, and then knead them into thin dough slices. When put into the pot, tear them into two inches and break them. After the pot is out of the pot, it is as white as snow, which looks very beautiful.

Xu You smelled the scent that was coming to his nose, which was more moving than before, and he couldn't help but make a gurgling sound in his abdomen.

Sha Sanqing said: "It seems that Brother Lin is so hungry. Come on, don't be polite, try the skills of his own people!"

Xu You picked up the bowl and smiled and said, "Then I'm not polite. I'm not afraid of eating. Don't ruin Brother Sha's appetite."

As he said that, he tasted it, as thin as leek leaves, it was really smooth and beautiful. He praised it all the time, and then cleaned up a bowl of boiled noodles with water.

Sha Sanqing laughed loudly, pushed the bowl that had not been moved in front of him, and said, "Another bowl!"

Xu You did not have enough food for such a small bowl, but he was embarrassed to eat it again and said, "How can that happen? I am a bad guest who borrows food, how can I even eat the owner's food?"

"It's okay, there are still many in the pot, I'll serve it later. Besides, it's okay for me not to eat for a day or two. Brother Lin, you are weak and the weather is getting colder. Eat more to keep the cold. People like us are not a joke if they get sick."

How to get familiar with strangers in a short period of time? Xu You knew the measure and scratched the back of his head and said, "Then, I'm disrespectful?"

After snatching another bowl, Xu You touched his stomach, hit the table with his hands, and shouted, "Cook it up and smell the fragrance of five miles. If you don't have a shameless face today, how can you know that there are such delicious delicacies in the world?"

Seeing Xu You eating so much, Sha Sanqing seemed very happy and said, "If Brother Lin doesn't dislike you, just come here to eat and drink every day."

The last time I saw the girl holding a basin of dirty clothes, I guess she was helping someone wash and earn some hard money. The patches on Sha Sanqing's body further show that their lives were extremely difficult, but this person was generous and generous, without any distortion, which made people feel at first sight.

"I will really become a villain if that happens... But if you have another bowl today, Brother Sha won't mind?"

"Hey, Brother Lin, listen to me..."

Xu You didn't wait for Sha Sanqing to refuse, and picked up the bowl and walked to the stove. There was only a slight water left in the pot, so where was there any extra squid?

In fact, as Xu You expected, the ginger was so time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it required expensive gravy. With their financial resources, it was impossible to eat it frequently, and it was even more impossible to make too much, so I only made two bowls, but all of them were put into his abdomen.

Xu You silently put down the bowl, walked to Sha Sanqing, bowed to the ground, and then turned around and left without saying a word.

The girl came out of the room, leaned against the wooden door, and said, "What do I say? Alang is sincere to others, but he is still not as good as a bowl of ginger. Today, when you are on your birthday, I went to Aunt Li's house to ask for some gravy to make ginger. Unexpectedly, this man was not satisfied with eating two bowls, and he ended up leaving in anger. Haha, all scholars in the world are inferior to pigs and dogs..."

Sha Sanqing said, "You, don't be prejudiced against scholars. I think this Langjun Lin is kind and has a free and easy personality, not like a righteous person!"

"Is that so? Do you dare to make a bet with me?"

Sha Sanqing smiled bitterly and said, "Come again? What are you betting on?"

The girl's bright eyes were flowing and smiled, and she burst into endless charm and charm. If she weren't for her dark skin, she could almost imagine how fascinating it would be.

Half an hour later, Xu You came to the door again. This time, not empty-handed, but carried five kilograms of pork, a fish and a pot of wine, and placed it on the stone table where you were eating just now.

Sha Sanqing's face was gloomy and said, "What are Brother Lin doing, but do you look down on me?"

Xu You smiled and said, "Brother Sha must not think too much. This is not for you for nothing. I just ate my sister-in-law's stew and can no longer eat any soup. So store these things for you first, just as I come here to borrow the amount of food."

Sha Sanqing's face cleared a little, and said, "You can take these back and come and eat them when it's time to eat. If I have a taste of porridge, I will never let Brother Lin be hungry."

Xu You laughed, leaned over and whispered: "I'll say what I mean, Brother Sha, don't be angry. You may not be able to eat this turtle today occasionally. I have nothing to do with you. I love delicious food the most, so I can't eat porridge with Brother Sha every day."

Sha Sanqing is not a fool. He knew that Xu You said this just to make him accept these gifts. He is generous and generous, and does not care about his own property. Since Xu You is willing, he is happy to meet such a friend and said, "Okay, leave the things, and let Ye Lai deal with them when you come to eat."

"Okay!" Xu You shook the wine in the pot and said, "However, the wine is just warm and can't wait. Please make a fish. I'll drink this pot of wine with Brother Sha."

At this time, no matter north or south, everyone likes wine. Sha Sanqing is also fond of the cup and has not drunk any more for many days. Looking at the wine pot, the greedy worms are rising up and turning their heads and shouting: "It's time to make this fish. Brother Lin and I have a good drink."

The fish was ready and the aroma was still the same. Xu You and Sha Sanqing exchanged cups. One was a strong man in Kong Wu and the other was a thin scholar, but his words were quite in agreement. Xu You had drunk a few drinks, and the fish was not moved. Sha Sanqing had drunk a lot, but only half of the fish ate.

A pot of wine was over and it was too late. Xu You said goodbye. Sha Sanqing called out the girl and said, "Are you hungry? There are still fish on the plate, so eat some to fill your stomach first."

"I don't eat what others eat..."

Sha Sanqing's eyes were filled with love and said, "I don't know that you have always loved Jie... Brother Lin didn't move this fish for a moment. I understand his thoughts very well. I ate your and my horn at noon. I was afraid that I would be hungry and you would be hungry. So I made this fish for you by the name of drinking."

"Ah?" the girl tilted her head and said, "In this way, this Lin Tong is not those cold scholars..."

Sha Sanqing smiled and said, "So, you lost!"

"If you lose, you lose. What can you do to me?"

The girl seemed to be cowardly and looked crisp and white. Sha Sanqing seemed to have returned to the world of desolation in the past, and was in a state of distraction. It was the most helpless trough in life. It was also this woman, like the bright moon in the sky, carrying an oil-paper umbrella, walked from the wind and rain, covering the rain that was pouring on her body. She bent down and smiled brightened her world.
