Scholar's Sweetheart

In the middle of the day, the sky is still bright.

Looking at the courtyard, song Xintong takes a breath of relief. When his two younger brothers are satisfied, they follow aunt Xie to find goudan. She is the only one left in the family.

Looking at the remaining snails and lobsters, song Xintong thought about it, put half of them into the basket, and then went to Lu Yunkai's house with the basket.

The school was quiet, but there was no movement. Only on the osmanthus tree where Lu Yunkai often sat, there were a few birds singing and their voices were beautiful.

Song Xintong hesitated and knocked on the gate.

Soon, Lu Yun came out and saw that she was both confused and clear, because few villagers would come here to disturb her. Occasionally, some dishes were left at the door.

Lu Yunkai looked at Song Xintong's cheek a little asymmetric, "song girl was beaten?"

Song Xintong heart chagrin, how to forget his face is still a little swollen“ I fell

Lu Yunkai saw that she didn't want to say it and didn't ask any more. He just looked at the basket in Song Xintong and faintly smelled a spicy smell. He slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "what food did Miss Song give me?"

When he heard that Lu Fu Zi did not claim to be my friend, but said that he used the word "I" more casually, he was very happy. It seemed that he regarded her as a friend. Song Xin Tong said mysteriously, "Lu Fu Zi, guess what?"

"Isn't it a new idea to eat?" Lu Yunkai opened the gate of the courtyard. "Miss Song, if you don't mind, you can sit on the stone bench for a while."

"Good." Song Xintong put the basket on the stone bench, then lifted the cloth on the basket, "I found two kinds of food today. I've got them ready and let Lu Fuzi try them. If it's feasible, I'll sell them tomorrow night."

Lu Yunkai looked at the two steaming dishes. They were very familiar with each other. He vaguely felt that he had seen them. After half a sound, he asked, "is this from the river?"

"Master Lu really knows a lot." Song Xintong praised.

Lu Yun opened his eyes and smoked. Who hasn't seen him in Taohua village?

"How do you eat this?"

Song Xintong gave a demonstration for Lu Yunkai. When he was sucking the snail meat, he suddenly thought how could a gentle and elegant person like Lu Yunkai come to suck it with a snail? How incongruous is this to his character?

"Mr. Lu, the snail at home has a new bamboo brush. It can take an inch long and pick the meat inside." Song Xintong originally wanted to talk about toothpicks, but I'm afraid there are no toothpicks here, so he can only take slender needles or bamboo brushes. "Needles are OK, but you have to be careful to hurt your tongue."

"Just a moment." Lu Yunkai went back to the room to wash his hands, took out two clean bamboo knots, and handed one to song Xintong. Then the bamboo knot gently picked the meat inside, "but is that so?"

Song Xintong looks at Lu Yunkai's action. He is also eating a snail. How can people's action be so elegant?

Seeing no response, Lu Yunkai looked at Song Xintong in surprise and repeated, "isn't it?"

"Yes, Master Lu is really good." Song Xintong said, "you can try this lobster again."

Lu Yunkai tried it. He peeled the shrimp shell smoothly and gracefully. He put the whole shrimp meat into his mouth and chewed it until he swallowed it. After half a sound, he said, "Miss Song is a good cook."

Song Xintong saw him frown before, then asked: "but?"

"Maybe it's Cornus. I always think it's hotter and better." Lu Yunkai said.

Song Xintong nodded, "if there is pepper, it should taste better."

"Pepper?" Lu Yunkai asked in surprise.

Song Xintong nodded. "I don't know if Lu Fu Zi has seen this plant in his book. The fruit is long finger shaped, with the tip gradually pointed and slightly curved. It is green when it is immature, and turns red when it is mature."

"Dogwood." Lu Yunkai said casually.

"No, peppers can be this long, or so long." Song Xintong described two sizes: "if you use it to make vegetables, it will taste much better than dogwood."

Lu Yunkai nodded, "but I haven't heard of it. Maybe Lingnan city will have it."

Song Xintong sighed, "I heard that Lingnan city is as complicated as the capital city, but it's too far away. I don't know when I will have the chance to go."

"Compared with the capital, Lingnan city is still much worse. When the river is widened, Lingnan city can reach the western regions through Qingjiang River. When it is navigable, Lingnan city should be the most important place in Southwest China." Lu Yunkai said, "in the future, it's only one day to go down Lingnan city by boat. It's much faster than one day and one night for Kuaima to go around the mountain."

Song Xintong is also looking forward to the early opening of the navigation, "I will go there when I have a chance."

"So that's how it's decided?" Song Xintong stares at the clouds with a smile.

Lu Yunkai was a little uneasy, but he nodded, "if it's really a worker and a steward, it should be enough. If it's the supervisor, I'm afraid it won't get into his eyes."

"If you can't get in, you can't get in. Those adults who have eaten delicacies after all, I have self-knowledge." Song Xintong stares at Yunkai curiously, "how does Lu Fuzi know there is an imperial commander on the construction site?"

Song Xintong knew that because she had been selling food for many days, she knew that the boy who came occasionally was the servant of the imperial family.

Lu Yunkai didn't answer, but said, "don't belittle yourself, Miss Song. Your cooking skills are also very good. It's also good to open a restaurant in the future."

Being praised by such a scholar, song Xintong was very happy and immediately forgot the previous question, "Master Lu thinks highly of me, so I can only do it at will."

"It's very delicious to make it at will." Lu Yunkai said lightly.

At this time, mother Lu came out with a basket.

Song Xintong quickly got up and gave Lu's mother a polite smile. Then he said to Lu Yunkai, "thank you for your advice. I'll leave first." With that, he made another sound towards Lu Mu Dao and wanted to turn around and leave.

Lu Yunkai saw that song Xintong was afraid of his mother. He couldn't help wondering, but he didn't think much, "Miss Song, stay, don't you want your basket?"

Song Xintong was stunned, and then took the two baskets handed over by Lu Yunkai and Lu Mu in his hand, "today I'm sorry, I'll leave first." Then he turned and walked out of the yard.

Lu's mother rushed to land and the clouds opened, gesticulating: "it's the girl who delivers food on weekdays?"

Lu Yunkai nodded, "I'm very grateful."

Lu's mother had seen song Xintong once before and asked, "why do you think this girl is afraid of me?"

Lu Yunkai doesn't think song Xintong is a timid and timid person. "Xu doesn't know how to talk to his mother, so he doesn't know what to do."

"Mother, have a taste." Lu Yunkai dials a lobster and feeds it to Lu Mu, "how does it taste?"

"It's a good craft." Lu Mu gave a big thumbs up.

Lu Yunkai nodded, "Niang, I'm going to Lingnan city tomorrow. If you have something to do at home, you can go to the county to deliver the letter."

"I see. You go early and come back early." Lu's mother lovingly looks at Lu Yunkai, and then overlooks her blue back. She has some inexplicable guesses in her heart.
