Chapter 685
Ye Xuefu quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I've disturbed you...I...I just want to cover you with a quilt."
"It's okay, it's not what you've made a noise." Chen Yu jumped on the sofa and sat up slowly, but suddenly found something flashing on Ye Xuefu's face: "Why are you crying?"
Ye Xuefu quickly raised her hand and wiped her cheeks: "No! You must be dazzled when you just woke up, why did I cry?"
"But..." Chen Yuyue really saw it, but when Ye Xuefu strongly denied it, he didn't say anything more: "I'm really sleeping. Oh, I really can't sleep on the sofa in the future. If I'm sleepy, I have to hurry back to the room. Although the sofa is comfortable, my body still hurts after waking up."
Ye Xuefu nodded quickly: "Then why don't you go back to the house to sleep quickly, I'll go back first."
Chen Yuyue nodded and nodded. He didn't say much, because he really didn't know why Ye Xuefu was sad.
Then Chen Yuyue also picked up the quilt and returned to the house, slumped on the bed and couldn't wake up.
...
The early morning sun faintly penetrated the curtains, and Lu Xue slowly opened her eyes and realized that today must be a very good sunny day.
Then she smelled the fragrance of the small buns and the aroma of soaking rice!
The smell of this rice is much more fragrant than the rice my mother likes to make. It's simply... Lu Xue wanted to sit up quickly, but found that Du Powu was eating a small bun next to her mother's bed, while her mother was holding a bowl of rice and eating it with a smile.
She didn't know that this rice was specially bought by Du Powu. The very expensive hairtail rice was made of the mellow soup with the hairtail. The chef carefully removed the fish bones and left only the delicious fish meat. The fish meat and the rice that had sucked the soup were put together, and the fresh and fragrant.
Moreover, the authentic way to eat in that store requires a little pepper sprinkled with this exclusive little secret. This is the finishing touch of hairtail rice, so it is naturally much better than what they made before.
"You're awake." Du Powu said: "Go and wash your face and have breakfast."
Lu Xue didn't know that because she was too tired yesterday, she slept until 8:30 in the morning.
In the morning, my mother told her not to wake her up, but Du Powu heard it outside and walked in.
After Du Powu introduced himself, Lu's mother started chatting with Du Powu in a polite way. After a while, Du Powu became hungry and rumbling.
Lu's mother asked him to go out for breakfast, but Du Powu decided to buy the breakfast and asked Lu's mother what she liked to eat.
Lu's mother said that there were people selling small buns and rice soaking outside the hospital. If it was convenient, she would buy a portion of rice soaking for her mother and then give Du Powu the insulation bucket.
After Du Powu went out, he found that the breakfast outside the hospital was not hygienic, so he called Ye Xiaoyao where the breakfast is delicious in Tianhai City.
After all, Ye Xiaoyao is a big foodie.
When Ye Xiaoyao heard that Du Powu had been with Lu Xue in the hospital for one night, and had to buy breakfast for Lu's mother in the morning. At that time, he was a little suspicious that the elm lump was going to be enlightened, so he directly recommended the hairtail rice.
Du Powu didn't think much about it and went to ask for two servings. When checking out, he found that these two servings of rice cost more than 300 yuan. He was a little stunned at that time.
When he bought it back, Lu's mother asked him to pay and asked him how much he spent to buy such delicious rice. Du Powu shook his head and said it was not expensive, so of course he could not charge money.
After washing it, Lu Xue also came out to eat soaking rice, and was immediately completely conquered by the delicious food.
Not only the sky and sea, but almost all people in Jiangnan Province like to eat rice soaking. There was a book in the Southern Song Dynasty saying: In the tribute courtyard, the scholars had their own military soldiers, including inkstone water, snacks, rice soaking, tea wine, vegetables and meat.
At that time, rice was a necessity for entering the area to go along with tea, wine, vegetables and meat.
A bowl of rice is for thousands of years in the south of the Yangtze River, so there are still several cities in Jiangnan Province that have retained the tradition of rice soaking.
For example, people in Suzhou and Hangzhou must cook rice. They need to cook until the soup is hot before they stop. However, the rice must be one piece of grain and also look refreshing and shiny. When taking the pot, sprinkle a pinch of fine salt, add half a spoon of lard, and hold it out a bowl of smooth and fragrant!
The one who has the most say about rice soaking is Tianhai.
Because soaking rice is a portrayal of the simple life in the sky and the mark of the difficult times.
In the old society, rice soaking was the standard breakfast for people in Tianhai, recording the poverty and simplicity of the old society.
Teacher Liang Shiqiu has an article about having dinner at a friend in Tianhai. There is a sentence in it: "A fried dough stick is cut into more than a dozen pieces, and a peeled egg rolls around in a soy sauce plate, and no one is embarrassed to pick it up." The poverty of ordinary people in Tianhai was vividly reflected by this sentence.
Today's rice is beautiful, with auxiliary ingredients piled up, and the greased noodles are not the same as the simple breakfast in the old society.
But that bowl of simple taste is the taste of growing up with Lu Xue.
In the mornings, my mother would take out the cold rice that was overnight, soaked boiled water, then pour some pickled vegetables in, and then it became her happiest taste in the morning.
Lu Xue suddenly couldn't help but shed tears while eating rice.
Her brother has never liked to eat soaking rice, and he thought it was a kind of shabby life. He even said that he felt disgusting every time he smelled the soaking rice.
Lu Xue always thought that her brother was really talking nonsense, but when she ate such a bowl of rice, she finally realized that the rice made by her mother was indeed a very "short" breakfast.
But that couldn't stop her from having the love she had for the breakfast she made for her mother.
The three sisters in the cafeteria like to eat rice with dried plums, a handful of white sesame seeds, a little seaweed and a small pot of scallion tea, and a bowl of plum tea rice that you can never get tired of.
Eating cold rice overnight directly can hurt your stomach.
Every time my mother cooks breakfast, she would tell Lu Xue this way: Even though we are poor, we cannot eat cold rice balls.
When my brother got upset and refused to eat, his mother would tell him that in the era of planned economy, eating boiled rice was worth showing off. In that era, each person had only eight kilograms of rice per month, and the remaining amount was only available to buy indica rice. If anyone eat boiled rice every day, either their family had a tin stomach that could not be beaten and destroyed, or his family had a way to get new unplanned rice!
In a short while, Lu Xue ate all the rice in the bowl.
"Are you full? If you are not full, I will buy you one more." Du Po Wudao.
Lu Xue nodded quickly: "I'm full."
"Xiao Du really knows how to buy things. Where did you buy such delicious rice? Tell my aunt, go and see how they make them. If you have time to make them for you in the future!" Lu's mother smiled and said, "If we can't make them, we will buy them. It's really delicious."
As soon as Lu Xue ate it, she knew that this soaking rice was definitely not an ordinary soaking rice and was definitely not cheap.
"Brother Powu, how much does this breakfast cost?" Lu Xue said and took out her wallet.
"How much does a breakfast cost? I'll take it." Du Powu waved his hand.
How could Lu Xue believe it: "Then tell me how much is this rice?"
"This rice is soaked... ten yuan!" Du Powu said casually.
"Ten yuan? There are fish, which is really affordable." Lu's mother said in surprise.
Lu Xue shook her head: "Mom, you believe this, this kind of rice must be very expensive!"
Du Powu looked at the time and quickly changed the topic: "You guys should prepare quickly. Isn't the surgery going to happen soon? Lu Xue, pack up quickly. I'll go to Dr. Xu Yi first. My brother called me just now and asked me to find Dr. Xu Yi if there is anything wrong."
Lu Xue wanted to say something, but Du Powu left in a hurry.
