Pinheju is located at the west gate of Zhongshan Park. In front of it is the lotus pond in the park. The jade spring flows and stops to sway. Although the lotus flowers are not as strong as in early summer, you can still see the green pond, and the green lotus is fragrant.

Tang Shi stored the car in front of the park gate, pointed to the sign of Pinheju in front of him and said, "It's this."

Su Le looked at the time just ten o'clock, and couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems we've come a little earlier."

Tang Shi smiled and said, "You don't know what's going on here. Pinheju's business has always been very good. If you are half an hour later, you will definitely have no seats. You have to sit on the third floor to have a taste when you come here to have dinner."

Su Le followed Tang Shi to Pinheju and went to the third floor to choose a window-by-window location. There were already several tables of diners on the upper floor. They came first.

The waiters were all wearing traditional clothes with white background, blue and white background, the tables, chairs and benches were all quaint old pieces of chicken wenge wood, and the teapots and cups were all the best blue and white porcelain. Although they started ordering dishes at 11 o'clock, they came here in advance, tasted tea and chatted, and admired the endless green eyes outside the window. It was also an extremely pleasant thing to enjoy.

Tang Shi twisted up the blue and white porcelain teacup, took a sip of the tea, and the waiter brought a plate of fresh lotus seeds. Su Le peeled off the green and flexible skin, exposed the white and tender kernels, tasted a lotus seed, and drank a sip of the tea, and felt a fragrance flowing into his throat with a faint bitterness. The cool breeze outside the window brought the fragrance of lotus flowers, and his spirit was unconsciously refreshed.

Tang Shi looked at the lotus pond outside the window, her eyes looked a little confused, and she said softly: "I'm going to study in Shenhai."

Su Le was slightly stunned. He knew that Tang Shi was the top scorer in the science exam in Yun'an this year. Such excellent results must be chosen by the university. Su Le slowly put down the teacup and said, "Which university do you go to?"

Tang Shidao: "Department of Astronomy, School of Physics, Huaxing University."

Su Le said: "It feels very profound!" Huaxing University is a top-ranked university in China. It is an unattainable existence for Su Le. When he heard that Tang Shi was going to Shenhai, Su Le couldn't help but feel happy. Qiantang and Shenhai were adjacent. If he went to Qiantang to participate in food exchange activities, wouldn't it mean that he could get close to Tang Shi?

Tang Shi smiled and said, "My parents both objected to me studying this major, but I liked it. I have loved watching the stars since I was a child. I hope that one day, I can really fly into space."

Su Le said: "That's the astronaut!"

Princess Tang Shi laughed: "You like to argue very much. By the way, I saw you on the Life Channel that day. You are the successor of the Southeast Chef God of Yanxi Hall." The food competition at Yanxi Hall was specially dedicated to the Nanwu TV station, and Tang Shi also saw it. Although the program was edited, Su Le's outstanding performance could still be seen.

Su Le was more realistic this time: "I am his disciple, I have never seen this master before."

Tang Shi said: "What are your plans in the future?"

Su Le thought about it and almost told him what he was going to Qiantang Ginseng, but when he said that, he changed his mind. Since the master agreed to go to study, it would be better for him to keep this secret for the time being. After the start of school, Tang Shi met him in Shenhai. What kind of surprise would that be? Su Le had the talent of self-learning without a teacher in chasing girls, was able to stand it, and deeply understood the principle of slow simmering in low heat.

Su Le said: "I have no plans, by the way. I forgot to tell you something. My master just contracted the canteen of the welfare home. From now on, we have to cook for those children every day."

Tang Shi blinked her beautiful eyes and said in surprise: "Really?"

Su Le nodded and said, "I never lie to you."

Tang Shi's pretty face was slightly hot because of his words. He whispered: "This is clearly a lie."

Seeing the two red clouds flying on Tang Shi's pretty face, Su Le's eyes became hot, and this heat made Tang Shi's pretty face redder. Perhaps he was afraid that Su Le's eyes would burn him, Tang Shi picked up the menu and opened it to block Su Le's eyes. He had to admit that Su Le's eyes were a bit thief and very lethal.

However, the waiter misunderstood her meaning because of this action of Tang Shi, and came to her to prepare to order dishes. Tang Shi could only make the mistake and ordered the special dishes of Pinheju. The two most famous dishes of Pinheju are the duck feet, and the other is the lotus pot.

The ladder duck paws are the head dish of Heju. The duck paws they use are cut from the stuffed ducks made by roast ducks. After removing the duck paws, they soaked them for a day in the spring water of the Furong Spring in Zhongshan Park, tear off the film on the duck paws along the lines, and then soaked them in Shaoxing yellow wine. They knew that the duck paws were completely soaked and swelled as a baby's fingers. Then they took out the duck paws, pulled out the main bones and tendons and discarded them. Then they used fat and thin ham, cut into two pieces of meat slices, a piece of ham and a duck paw, cut the spring bamboo shoots into slices, spread wild mountain honey, tied them together with kelp silk, and steamed them over low heat. In this way, the oil and honey of the ham slowly penetrated into the duck paws, the fragrant pig bamboo shoots, the lingering dust lingered, and the plump and lush. Because the spring bamboo shoots are sliced ​​like bamboo ladder, they are named the ladder duck paws.

As for the lotus pot, the material is the lotus in the lotus pond in front of it. The soup of the pot is made of the best pork keel bones. It is fresh but not greasy, as clear as water, mandarin fish fillets, river shrimps, pork belly, waist flowers, and all kinds of pieces are all done with a knife and cooked as soon as it is scalded.

As soon as the soup was rolled, the waiter lifted the lid of the pot and quickly put a few plates of pot ingredients into the pot. He rolled his head and then put fresh lotus petals. The pink petals floated in the clear soup like a boat, pleasing to the eye and making people feel appetitey. He was not only delicious, but also had a poetic and picturesque mood.

This is the first time Su Le tried this way. He praised the duck feet and lotus pots in the sky. While tasting, he pondered the method.

He has a specialty in his profession, and this is true at all. When eating, Tang Shi paid attention to the intuitive feeling brought to her by the food. He admired the endless green lotus leaves outside the window, felt the deliciousness on the plate, and a faint sense of warmth lingered in her heart. Naturally, she would not explore the knife skills and heat of these dishes? She would not even think about the specific methods and recipes of these dishes.

Su Le's interest in cooking is much greater than that in beautiful scenery. Of course, he seems to have a lot more interest in Tang poetry than cooking. He found that it makes sense to be very good. If he follows the logic of his master, it proves that these dishes in Heju still have a lot of room for improvement, and are not yet at the point where Su Le can forget Tang poetry. In fact, Su Le does not believe that there are really people in this world who can cook this way. In his opinion, even the most delicious dishes are still slightly less attractive to him than Tang poetry.

Tang Shi said: "How do you feel the dishes here taste?"

Su Le said: "It's delicious, but it's a little lighter, it should suit your girls' taste."

Tang Shi said: "I came to taste Heju not for the food here. I like the environment here. I sit here and look at the green eyes, enjoying the slowly coming breeze and fragrance of lotus, and forgetting all my worries."

Su Le said: "In my opinion, you are a happy and cheerful girl."

Tang Shi said: "That's because you don't understand me."

Su Le said: "Everyone in this world has his own misfortune. Take me as an example. My mother is addicted to gambling. Since I was a child, I faced those creditors who came to collect debts all day long. Later, one day my mother finally lost the small restaurant we rely on for survival, and then she slapped her butt and left, so I became a lonely man."

Tang Shi widened her beautiful eyes. This was the first time she heard Su Le talk about his own affairs, bit her cherry lips and said, "Your mother is so irresponsible."

Su Le smiled and said, "No, she is very good, but she is a little bit gambled. I still don't know who my father is, whether he is dead or alive. My mother raised me alone and offered me school. Although she is gambled, she never sold me to others. I always feel that people should be grateful and think more about the benefits of others. The sunny in their hearts will be, and the world will be full of sunshine in your eyes. Your academic performance is better than mine. You should know that God will give great responsibilities to this person. It will be hard for his heart and mind. The more unpleasant things happen, the more you have to smile at life. There is no hurdle in this world that cannot be overcome."

Tang Shi smiled gently and said, "You are a truly optimistic person!"

Su Le said: "My mom taught me something that you have to be happy for a day in this world."

Tang Shi said: "Why do she still have to gamble when she understands this principle?"

Su Le said: "Because gambling can make her happy."

Tang Shi said: "What is your happiest thing?"

Su Le thought for a while: "It's now!"

Tang Shi actually felt a little regretful when she asked this sentence. She had guessed Su Le's answer. Looking at Su Le's sunny smiling face, Tang Shi also smiled: "Actually, I'm very happy too."

Tang Shi was going to attend the graduation party of Nanwu No. 1 Middle School that night. She was not a girl who liked fun. She had never been keen on such group activities in the past, but she cared about other people's opinions and feelings, especially after she became the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Yun'an Province, she didn't want others to say she was arrogant behind her back, so she decided to attend this last party.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Su Le sent Tang Shi to the vicinity of Nanwu No. 1 Middle School. Tang Shi pushed her bicycle and waved goodbye to Su Le.

Su Le said: "If you need a bodyguard when you get home too late, I can wait for you outside."

Tang Shi bit her cherry lips. In fact, she was always hesitating whether to invite Su Le to go in. This graduation dance was actually allowed to bring her own dance partners. But the reserve in her heart made Tang Shi finally give up the idea of ​​taking the initiative to invite and smiled at Su Le: "It's okay, I'll go back with my classmates."

Su Le nodded and turned around and left.
