Flower Moon

Chapter 10 This is the end, let's eat first

Hua Ling has no extra words.

He neither warmly welcomed Tao Yueer's arrival, nor ridiculed her previous behavior. Although it was always indifferent, this was already a rare "goodwill" for Tao Yueer.

Tao Yue'er raised her dirty skirt, bowed to salute as the matchmaker taught her ten years ago, and said respectfully and formally: "Let me introduce myself formally. My name is Tao, and my name is Yue'er. I am 25 years old this year. Thank you, Young Master Hua." For saving my life, I will ask the young master to give me more advice in the future."

Ever since Tao Yue'er knew that Hua Ling was the son of the prefect, she called him Young Master.

Although no one regards him as the young master anymore, at least I know his past, so I can't ignore his past.He was born as the young master, so in her heart, she was still willing to call him young master.

In this way, his sense of gap may be smaller...

Hua Ling's expression was a little strange when she heard the words, she was about to say something when she heard a 'grunt' sound from Tao Yue'er's stomach.

Tao Yue'er's face turned red, and she hesitated and said, "I'm sorry, I'm too hungry..."

Hua Ling glanced at her, said without saying anything, "Come with me."

Tao Yue'er followed Hua Ling back to the courtyard, and then went straight to the kitchen.

Hualing signaled Tao Yueer to light a fire, and Tao Yueer immediately squatted on the ground and stirred, and after a while, the water in the pot boiled.

Hua Ling lifted a piece of white cloth from the cutting board at the side, revealing a large piece of pork leg.

Tao Yue'er didn't bother to ask where the pork came from, she just watched Hua Ling scoop out the water from the pot, put the porridge in it, and put the sliced ​​meat into it to cook together.After a while, the aroma overflowed.

Tao Yue'er swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva.

She hadn't eaten for two or three days, let alone meat.She stared straight at Hua Ling's meat-cutting hands, and unconsciously shouted: "Put more meat, put more, put more, put more..."

Hua Ling slammed the knife and threw the knife on the cutting board: "How about I put a pig for you?"

Tao Yue'er was taken aback, only then did she realize that she had lost her composure again.She curled her lips, lowered her head in panic, and waved her hands: "No, no need... Enough, enough."

Although Hua Ling looked unhappy, she still cut a few more pieces of meat for her, filling the pot, it didn't look like porridge, but stewed meat.Then he took out three other doughs from the side.The dough appears white, purple and orange.

Tao Yueer asked him in surprise: "Why do these doughs turn purple and orange?"

"Because purple potato and pumpkin are added in it." After Hua Ling finished speaking, she rolled the white dough and purple potato dough into round sheets, and the pumpkin dough was rolled into a ball shape. The white dough was at the bottom, and the purple potato dough and pumpkin The ball is on the top, wrap the pumpkin ball like a steamed bun, pinch the mouth tightly and face down, make a cross on it with a knife, and put it into the steamer.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the dough was cooked, and everyone was smiling.

"what is this?"

"Three-color Blossom Mantou."

"This is amazing!" Tao Yue'er couldn't help exclaiming.

Hua Ling took one out and handed it to her: "Try it."

Tao Yue'er was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back, she immediately took one and put it in her mouth, she couldn't stop praising, "It's so delicious!"

"Like it?"

"like!"

"Want to learn?"

"miss you!"

Hua Ling seemed to expect that she wanted to learn how to cook, so she took out a book from her bosom and handed it to Tao Yue'er, saying, "From now on, you will follow this recipe."

"it is good!"

Tao Yueer took the cookbook, and saw that this cookbook was quite different from the mass-printed cookbooks sold in the market.

On the cover was written "Quiet Drinking Meal Record" in big characters, the handwriting was thin, agile and elegant, very neat.But it is a pity that Tao Yue'er is illiterate and cannot read.She can't judge whether her writing is good or not.

She just wanted to say that she was illiterate, but found that the book was opened, and the contents inside were breathtaking.

It's full of sketches.Every dish and every step has a detailed composition, even if you are illiterate, you can fully understand it.

Tao Yue'er suddenly wanted to cry.

Her most cherished thing is a book.It's a pity that she can't read the words in the book at all, so she can only take it as a psychological sustenance and keep it with her.Even if he committed suicide, he still held it in his arms.But this book is a book that she can understand completely.It is also the first book in her life that she can understand.

The neatness and neatness of the painting on this book is not inferior to the printed product. Moreover, the pictures are exquisite and the composition is wonderful. Tao Yue'er feels inexplicably that the person who drew this book must be a beautiful woman with a beautiful heart.Because only a beauty with a kind heart can draw such cute and funny paintings.

"Who wrote this book?" Tao Yue'er couldn't help but ask after turning over and over again, not seeing the author's seal, "Please give me a hint from the young master, so that I can read it in the future so that I have a goal."

"Li Qingzhu." Hua Ling said slowly: "The surname of the writer is Li, his name is Qingzhu, and his name is Yuehua."

Li Weiguo's surname is the family name.She was not surprised that the Li family produced a talented girl.

Tao Yueer nodded: "I don't know where this senior is now, may I have a chance to meet him personally in the future?"

Hua Ling squinted her eyes and said calmly: "She has been dead for hundreds of years."

"..."

Tao Yue'er was choked by his words, and it took her a long time to recover, before she said in a daze, "It's a pity I wasn't born a few hundred years earlier, I think this person must be sympathetic to me."

"Why?"

"Her paintings are neat and beautiful, with skillful skills, but she doesn't have a single word. She even draws some things that can be summed up in words. Presumably, she, like me, should also be illiterate. She must have the sky in her heart, but Depressed woman with dust and mud!" It's a pity that even though she lives in Li's family, she is not well-educated.

Her talent was buried.

Hua Ling suddenly opened her eyes wide when she heard the words, she was dumbfounded and said, "Have you never heard of Yuehua's name?"

"Never heard of it. Do I... need to know?" Tao Yueer blinked and asked him back.

Hua Ling clutched her chest, as if she was choked by something, her face turned green with embarrassment.The kitchen was filled with smoke, Tao Yue'er thought he was disturbed by the smoke from the firewood, and said straightly: "Master, you go out first, leave this place to me."

Hua Ling's face was filled with boredom, she simply couldn't see it, she nodded and was about to leave, when she arrived, she seemed to remember something, she turned to her and asked, "Why did you call me Young Master?"

"You used to be the son of a prominent family, shouldn't you be called 'Young Master'? I can't call you Brother Hua Ling like those children? Besides, you look younger than me, so calling you 'Brother' is really wrong." Appropriate."

"..."

Hearing this, Hua Ling was slightly taken aback, looking a little surprised, and said, "Who told you?"

"It doesn't matter who told me, what matters is that I love you very much." Tao Yue'er withdrew her gaze from Hua Ling, her eyes passed through the door unconsciously, and glanced at the other children not far away who were happily chatting with each other. A Yin.

Hua Ling took a panoramic view of her unnatural little movements, and said dumbly: "Ayin's grandfather used to tell stories in teahouses, and she has been fascinated by anecdotes since she was a child, and all she spits out is scripts. Only you will believe it here. she."

"Ah? Did she tell lies?" Tao Yue'er opened her mouth wide, with a hurt expression on her face.

"At least, I haven't heard the truth from her yet." Hua Ling pursed her lips, patted her on the shoulder with a look of "I don't know how to comfort you", turned and walked out of the kitchen.

Tao Yue'er was left alone standing in the distance, neither standing nor sitting.

If what A Yin said was false, wouldn't she love Hua Ling in vain?So what kind of mentality is she standing here now?Should she still try to die?
Many contradictions filled her mind, causing her a splitting headache.After a long time, she decided not to think about it, the matter is over, let's eat first...
