Chapter 46 [Fairy Porridge]
Su Le looked at the time and it was already 9:30 in the evening. He smiled and said, "What do you want to eat, I'll treat you!"
Tang Shi said: "I'll treat you, it's good to have a fairy porridge in front of you."
Su Le nodded. In fact, he was not full at night. The master ordered two dishes in total. The shredded potatoes and green peppers were more and more scams than the other. In addition, another hero saved the beauty on the way, and the amount of activity was slightly larger. Now he was hungry.
Su Le followed Tang Shi to the porridge shop at the back door of the community. This porridge shop was opened by Guangdong people. Cooking porridge is not the first of its kind, but when it comes to the variety of porridge, Guangdong is the best. This porridge shop also has its own characteristics. It is all made of black clay pots. The water used to cook porridge is all groundwater, which is taken from the horseshoe well on Mingqian Road. Although tap water is convenient, there is always a bleach smell in the tap water. Used to cook porridge will destroy the flavor of porridge. As for pure water, it lacks minerals, and it is less sweet and clear of the groundwater, so the owner of the store does not hesitate to get water back and forth every day.
Cooking porridge requires high heat. It takes more than three hours to cook, and the rice grains are almost melted. This is what people often call open fire white porridge. When the pot is about to be opened, different auxiliary ingredients, or various meats, seafood scallops, or preserved fruit candied fruits. When the porridge is ready, open the lid of the pot, use washed fresh lotus leaves instead of the lid and cover it tightly. After the pot is boiled for more than ten minutes, the white porridge that is as crystal clear as white jade will turn into a light green like jade, with a pot of jasper, and the lotus fragrance is everywhere.
Tang Shi ordered two bowls of seafood porridge and sat opposite Su Le. The congee shop was equipped with various side dishes for guests to pick them up.
At night, there were only two guests in the shop. The porridge was very fragrant, but it was very hot, so Su Le and Tang Shi could only sit and wait. Su Le looked at Tang Shi and smiled. Tang Shi felt a little embarrassed by him: "Why do you always smile? Are there so many happy things?"
Su Le asked back: "Are there so many troublesome things?"
Tang Shi said: "If a person lives in the world, he will not be able to stop worrying things, and the older he is, the more troubles he has."
Su Ledao: "I'm full!"
Tang Shi's eyebrows are raised and her cherry lips are pursed. Beauty is just a beauty, and the slight anger is so exciting.
Su Le found that he liked Tang Shi's angry look very much. He felt that when she was angry, he liked the real girl. Su Le picked up the bowl of porridge in front of him and tasted it. The seafood scallop porridge was put into his throat, giving it an indescribable graceful and sweet taste.
Su Le's expression seemed a little deeper at this time: "I recently saw a story where a traveler was walking in the desert. Suddenly, a group of hungry wolves appeared behind him, chasing him, and wanted to rise up and eat them. The traveler was shocked and ran desperately, racing against his own shadow under the moonlight, running for life. There was no one in the desert, how could he run faster than the hungry wolves? The traveler thought that he would die under the claws of the wolves and become the food of the hungry wolves. It was just that the hungry wolves
When he was about to catch up with the traveler, he saw a well in front of him with unknown depth and jumped in without any effort. When the traveler was in the air, he found that not only was there no water, but there were many poisonous snakes. When he saw food coming to his door, he held his head and stuck out his tongue, and eagerly waited for him. The traveler was shocked and lost his mind. Out of his instinct of life, his hands were dancing in the air, wanting to catch something that could save his life. Unexpectedly, the heavens caught him according to the wishes of others.
A small tree stretched out from the middle of the well, stabbing its body in the air. So there were hungry wolves above and poisonous snakes below. However, although the traveler was in a dilemma, it was still safe at least for the time being. Just when the traveler breathed a sigh of relief, a strange noise came into his ears. He looked in horror and found that a group of mice were biting the roots of the tree with their sharp teeth. It was too late to save the life-saving straw.
At this moment of life and death, the traveler saw a drop of honey on the leaves in front of him. Suddenly, he forgot the hungry wolf above, the poisonous snake below, and the small tree that the mouse was about to bite off. Close his eyes, stick out his tongue, and lick the drop of honey with all his heart." This story is what Su Le saw from the story of Xun Qin. Since Xiang Shaolong was able to win the heart of the peerless beauty Ji Yanran with this story, I believe he should also be able to impress Tang Shi.
Tang Shi had heard of this story in the past, but in the story told by Su Lewei, she felt an unprecedented feeling. Su Le's eyes were deep and wise, which Tang Shi had never discovered in the past. She found that this young man of the same age seemed to be much more mature than herself.
Tang Shi said: "In life, no matter what you do, you have a pursuit and a purpose."
Su Le shook his head and said, "Life is short, so there is no time to waste on worries and sorrows. Living today and seizing the present is worthy of this hard-earned life." His eyes were fixed on Tang Shi: "Actually, everyone is looking for their own drop of honey. As long as I find the drop of mine, I will taste it at any cost."
Tang Shi heard his implicit sound, her pretty face turned red, and her beautiful eyes as beautiful as stars looked down at the bowl of seafood porridge with jade-like color: "Maybe you are right, I shouldn't be asking for trouble. Enjoying the bowl of porridge in front of me is the true meaning of life."
Su Le laughed.
A white BMW stopped in front of the porridge shop. A middle-aged beauty drove through the glass of the car window and saw Su Le and Tang Shi talking and laughing in the porridge shop. She frowned and did not get out of the car immediately, but pulled out a cigarette and lit it and started smoking quietly.
She is about forty years old and has good care. Her black hair is scattered on her shoulders like a wave, with a similar outline to Tang Shi. However, her eyes are calm and noble, which makes people feel a strong sense of distance involuntarily. She is Tang Shi's mother Zhao Yonghong.
She sat in the car and smoked silently, her eyes always looking at Tang Shi in the porridge shop. It was not until Su Le and Tang Shi got up and left the porridge shop that she snatched out the cigarette butts, swept the mirror and caught the tears in the corner of her eyes.
When I took out a tissue and wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes, I looked up again, and saw Su Le and Tang Shi had already walked away.
Su Le sent Tang Shi back to the community, then turned around and walked towards him.
Su Le soon realized that a car was following him behind him. He turned around, narrowed his eyes, and looked inside the car with disdain, although he couldn't see who was inside the car.
The BMW stopped and Zhao Yonghong, wearing a black long skirt, walked down. Su Le almost found common ground with Tang Shi in her appearance at a glance. He guessed something, then smiled, and habitually showed his face of sunshine and brilliance.
Facing such a boy, you can say that he is not handsome enough, but it is difficult for you to deny the appeal of his smile. What's more, the boy shouted sweetly: "Auntie, are you looking for me?"
Zhao Yonghong nodded and said, "I am Tang Shi's mother, my surname is Zhao!"
Su Le's heart skipped a beat. Although he had vaguely guessed Zhao Yonghong's identity, he was still shocked by Xiaoxiao. Looking at Zhao Yonghong's noble and cold look, Su Le couldn't help but think of the bloody Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas in her mind. Next, she would have been going to show off her viciousness, pointing to her nose and counting her crimes, and then scolding the toad who wanted to eat swan meat as a bloody spurt.
But beyond Su Le's surprise, Zhao Yonghong showed a smile on the corner of her lips. She was in a bad mood and her smile was reluctant: "Thank you for sending Tang Shi back."
Su Le laughed: "Aunt Zhao, Tang Shi and I are friends, this is nothing."
Zhao Yonghong did not ask Su Le’s experience like other parents, but sighed softly: “The older a person is, the fewer friends you will have. I envy you young people.”
Although Zhao Yonghong gave Su Le an open-minded mother, he was still not used to facing an elder like this, and Su Le was ready to say goodbye.
Zhao Yonghong said: "I'll take you back?"
Su Le shook his head: "No, the place I live is not far away."
Zhao Yonghong said: "Be careful on the road. Tang Shi is in a bad mood recently. If you have time, talk to her more."
Seeing that Zhao Yonghong's eyes were full of sincerity and there was not much hypocrisy, Su Le nodded: "Hey! I will."
Su Le returned to Zhu Laoer's house. Zhu Laoer had arrived, sitting on the sofa while drinking tea and watching TV.
Su Le called out to Master.
Zhu Lao Er nodded and said, "Where did you go crazy? It took so long to come back?"
Su Le smiled and said, "Store around casually."
Zhu Laoer then rolled up his eyelids and looked at him. He immediately found that the blood on his forehead had not been completely wiped clean. He stood up, circled Su Le, and sniffed: "No, there is the fragrance of a woman on his body. Damn, can you take the salary I paid to you for prostitution?"
Su Le said: "Master, I don't know how to eat that. I'm a real boy chicken."
"Bah! I'm still mom and boy, it's not embarrassing. It's seventeen, I missed me back then..."
"What are you doing?"
Zhu Lao Er's face turned red, and he felt that he had lost his words. He spat again and said, "What's wrong with the blood on his head? Even if it was broken, I didn't see anyone on his head." Zhu Lao Er was somewhat disrespectful to the old man.
Although Su Le has thick skin, he has not had any experience in this area. After all, he heard his master's unlimited teasing and was a little embarrassed: "Why... Master, the moon is good tonight!"
When talking about the moon, Zhu Laoer remembered something: "Boy, the competition will be in three days. Are you sure you want to participate?"
Su Le said: "Isn't it just participating in an internal cooking competition? What's the scary thing? Just the level we'll eat tonight. I'll put them aside from all eighteen streets."
Zhu Laoer said: "Baby, why don't you know how to be humble and low-key? Why do I accept such an apprentice as you?"
