Siheyuan: Starting from the Pig Killer

Chapter 101 My sister-in-law found out

Beihai Park.

Surrounded by green trees and red walls, the scenery is pleasant.

On a lawn by the lake, Xiang Yunduan and Tao Xiaoye sat on the ground, with a copper boiler with smoke curling in front of them.

"Put all these in?"

Tao Xiao also opened a lunch box and saw some pot ingredients inside.

"Of course, Comrade Xiaoye, you haven't cooked at home, have you?" Xiang Yunduan looked at Tao Xiaoye's very hesitant look and couldn't help but joked.

"I...my mother cooks for our family!" Tao Xiaoye said, sticking out his tongue in embarrassment.

"It's okay, just put it inside boldly!" Xiang Yunduan began to instruct Tao Xiaoye to operate without doing it himself.

As for the picnic, of course Tao Xiaoye has to do it himself, and the sense of participation can also bring people a satisfying mood.

Especially for someone like Tao Xiaoye who has never cooked before, if he can cook raw food with his own hands, it will be a special sense of accomplishment. This feeling can not be said to be better than eating a big meal. To make people happy.

It just so happens that eating hot pot doesn't require any exquisite cooking skills. You just need to keep adding vegetables to it. It is very simple and very suitable for novices like Tao Xiaoye.

Seeing Xiang Yunduan's encouraging look, Tao Xiaoye was immediately reassured and poured the pot ingredients in his hand directly into the pot.

In fact, there is nothing special, just the common ingredients for a clear soup pot, just green onions, ginger, mushrooms, red dates, and wolfberries. In addition, there is Xiang Yunduan's unique secret ingredient-five or six pieces of green tea leaves.

"First put the lid on the pot, wait for the water to boil, and then adjust the mixing bowl. You know how to do this, right?" Xiang Yunduan said.

"Of course, sesame sauce, chive flowers, fermented bean curd, and chili oil, that's how I mixed it when I ate hotpot mutton in Donglaishun!" Tao Xiaoye said.

"Then go ahead and adjust one for me." Xiang Yunduan said very happily while admiring Tao Xiaoye's pretty face.

Beautiful and delicious!

Food is in front of you, and beauty is in front of you. How can anyone control this?

When Tao Xiaoye adjusted the mixing bowl, the water in the pot had completely boiled.

"Here, rinse the meat first, then rinse the meat broth and then rinse the vegetables. It will taste even better!" Xiang Yunduan took out another lunch box from the box, which contained a box full of cut meat, half beef and half mutton, very fresh .

He had prepared these ingredients in advance and put them in the space. He had only taken them out and put them in the box when he returned to the courtyard, so the meat was still very fresh.

"Hmm~ It smells so good. Xiao Yeqi's craftsmanship is so good!"

The meat slices are cut very thin, so you can eat them after rinsing them for a while.

Xiang Yunduan wrapped the meat rolls in the sauce and put it in his mouth. Not to mention, it was really delicious, not much worse than those shabu-shabu restaurants outside.

"Ah, you, what does this have to do with my craftsmanship? Aren't you the one who prepared it all?" Tao Xiaoye blushed slightly after being praised by Xiang Yunduan.

"How can you say this? What's the most important thing about eating shabu-shabu meat? It's this bowl. Xiaoye, the bowl you prepared is so good. It's not only used for shabu-shabu meat, it's also used for shabu-shabu insoles. It's also delicious. Ah!" Xiang Yun said openly.

"Ah, what are you talking about? You are eating, what are you talking about insoles? Really!" Tao Xiaoye said in disgust.

"Haha, a slip of the tongue, that's what it meant!" Xiang Yunduan laughed.

Seeing what Xiang Yunduan said, Tao Xiaoye took a chopstick of meat, rinsed it, and tasted it.

Sure enough, after taking this bite, Tao Xiaoye's eyes narrowed. He didn't know if it was because he did it himself. Anyway, Tao Xiao felt that this was more delicious than any of the shabu-shabu he had eaten before.

Soon, the box of meat was gone as the two devoured it.

Tao Xiaoye obviously didn't enjoy it to the fullest. He smacked his lips, feeling a little unfinished.

Fortunately, Xiang Yunduan was very well prepared. In addition to beef and mutton, there were other ingredients.

Next, the two ate chicken sausage, duck rolls, fish balls, coriander pork balls, tofu, short crispy pork, etc., as well as various seasonal vegetables.

"Hiccup~"

After getting angry, Tao Xiao also put down the bowl and chopsticks when he saw that there was nothing left in the pot, stretched, and accidentally burped. It was obvious that he had enjoyed his meal.

"Are you full?" Xiang Yunduan asked.

"I'm full. It's so delicious. This is the most delicious meal I've ever had!" Tao Xiaoye said.

"That's enough. Look, there are dumplings I made in this box!" Xiang Yunduan opened the last box, and there were indeed small and exquisite dumplings inside.

The dumplings are so small that even Tao Xiaoye's small mouth can fit one in one bite.

"Then... let's try cooking some more dumplings? I feel like I can eat some more!" Tao Xiaoye's eyes lit up when he saw the dumplings.

Although I already feel full, it tastes so delicious that I still want to eat it.

"If you can eat well, try to eliminate all the things you brought!"

Xiang Yunduan handed the dumplings to Tao Xiaoye and said, "You cook it first, I'll be back soon."

Tao Xiao also thought that Xiang Yunduan had gone to the toilet, so he nodded without saying anything and put the dumplings into the pot one by one.

"Oh, I didn't ask how long it would take to cook!"

Tao Xiaoye looked at Xiang Yunduan's walking figure and suddenly realized that he didn't know how to consider a dumpling to be cooked.

Fortunately, Xiang Yunduan didn't keep her waiting long and returned soon.

"Go, go, go to the lake and wash your hands!" Tao Xiaoye said with a frown when he saw Xiang Yunduan sitting down.

"Why wash your hands?" Xiang Yunduan asked in confusion.

"You didn't wash your hands after going to the toilet and then came back to eat!" Tao Xiaoye said.

"How is that possible! No, I didn't go to the toilet!" Xiang Yunduan said.

"Then what did you do?" Tao Xiaoye asked curiously.

"You can't say this, you'll find out later!" Xiang Yunduan had a mysterious smile on his face.

Tao Xiaoye was quite looking forward to Xiang Yunduan's character of making little mysteries and surprises, so he didn't ask further questions.

Next, the two of them destroyed the dumplings, put everything away, and then sat comfortably by the lake and started chatting.

What the two of them didn't know was that their picnic here just now was seen by many people.

There were a lot of people out and about today, and there were quite a few people coming to the park to rest, including many college students.

After the college students saw the two of them having a picnic, they also imitated their example.

Later, every weekend, some college students came to the park in groups to have picnics. Gradually, not only the college students, but also people from the middle class of society also had picnics from time to time.

The lawn in Beihai Park has become almost the best picnic spot in the city.

Of course, this kind of petty bourgeoisie behavior disappeared after six or six years.

"Xiaoye, let me do a trick for you!"

By the lake, Xiang Yunduan and Tao Xiaoye were still a little apart from each other at first, but as they chatted, their bodies got closer to each other.

"Can you do magic tricks?" Tao Xiaoye looked up at Xiang Yunduan in surprise. "I have an out-of-the-box temperament. I want to learn anything interesting when I see it, but as soon as my interest wears off, I put it down again, so I know a lot of things, but they are just scratching the surface!" Xiang Yunduan said.

"It's good to read, don't ask for a deep explanation!" Tao Xiaoye said.

"That's not true, I have not reached that advanced level!" Xiang Yunduan shook his head and said.

"Come on, let me see what tricks you can do!" Tao Xiaoye looked at Xiang Yunduan with interest and said.

"Then you have to watch out!"

Xiang Yunduan first stretched out his hands and waved them in front of Tao Xiaoye, indicating that he had nothing in his hands, and then separated his hands again.

One of the hands slowly retracted and hid behind his back.

Tao Xiao was also completely attracted by Xiang Yunduan's hand. He thought Xiang Yunduan had something hidden behind his back, so she didn't even notice that Xiang Yunduan's other hand fell on her own inadvertently. The back of the head.

"Dang Dang Dang!"

Xiang Yun shouted in his mouth, then took out the palm hidden on his back and spread it out in front of Tao Xiaoye.

"Pfft!"

Tao Xiaoye couldn't help but laugh when she saw Xiang Yunduan's hands were empty. She thought Xiang Yunduan was not good at learning and the trick had failed.

But just when she was laughing so hard, her nose suddenly smelled a strong floral fragrance.

From the corner of his eyes, a colorful object flashed, and then filled his eyes.

"Oh!"

Tao Xiaoye was simply stunned when he saw that in Xiang Yunduan's other hand, he was holding a handful of fragrant wild flowers.

"Give it to you, do you like it?" Xiang Yunduan said.

"You, you, you, how did you do this?"

Tao Xiao also took the bouquet and looked back. There was no one behind him at all. It couldn't have been someone who handed it to Xiang Yunduan just now.

"Now that you know the trick, it's no longer interesting!" Xiang Yunduan said.

He couldn't tell Tao Xiaoye that he didn't know any tricks at all. He must have picked the flowers in the park before and put them in the space!

"Okay, then I won't ask!"

Although Tao Xiaoye was very curious, he did not pursue the question. Instead, he lowered his head and smelled the fragrance of the flowers and said, "I like flowers very much!"

"As long as you like it. Next, I have another song for you. I wonder if you will also like it?" Xiang Yunduan said again.

He had prepared well for today's date.

He had no choice but to make him fall in love with this young and lovely girl in front of him, so he could only try his best!

"You can also sing? Comrade Xiang Yunduan, how many things can you do that I don't know about? Cooking, juggling, singing, what else will there be in the future?" Tao Xiaoye was completely surprised.

In her eyes at this moment, Xiang Yunduan is simply a treasure boy.

"Do you want to know? Then Comrade Xiaoye, you will have to discover it slowly later!"

Xiang Yunduan said as he took out the harmonica he bought specially in the department store from the box.

Instruments such as piano, violin, and guitar are not suitable for today's occasion. The harmonica is just right, and the song "When You Get Old" also matches the tone of the harmonica very well.

That's right, what Xiang Yunduan wants to sing is naturally the song "When You Get Old" from later generations!

"Hush~"

As the harmonica played, a very beautiful piece of music flowed out.

What he is going to sing is Li Jian’s version of When You Get Old. The arrangement is very Li Jian’s style, elegant, romantic and poetic.

After a while of melody, Xiang Yunduan finally opened his mouth and sang softly:

When you get old, your hair turns white and you feel sleepy~

When you are old and can no longer walk, keep warm by the fire and recall your youth~

How many people have loved you when you were young and happy, and admired your beauty, pretending or sincerely ~

There is only one person who still loves your pious soul and the wrinkles on your old face~

Tao Xiaoye's eyes widened from the first sentence.

She originally thought that Xiang Yunduan would sing an old song that had already been published, but she didn't expect that Xiang Yunduan would sing a brand new song for her!

Yes, brand new!

Although the lyrics were familiar to her, the tune had never been heard before.

Moreover, the lyrics of this song were the ones she read to Xiang Yunduan a few days ago to express her feelings. Unexpectedly, Xiang Yunduan actually compiled it into a song in just a few days!

Involuntarily, Tao Xiaoye's eyes were intoxicated.

Xiang Yunduan's singing continues:

……

I can't keep all the years, but the years keep me~

The fragrance that never stays for me is my youth~

……

When I get old, I will do it for you~

Sing this song from your heart~

……

After finishing the song, Xiang Yun's thoughts were still unfinished.

He felt that he had never been in such a good state before. Even if Li Jian himself came, he would still dare to compete.

Moreover, after this song, he never expected that the "tempo" skill, which was originally a black iron level, would be automatically upgraded to a bronze level.

This is the first time his skill has automatically upgraded without relying on luck to strengthen it.

……

"Hey, Xiaoye?"

Although she had two days off, Tao Minzhen went to school to hide out because she didn't want to listen to her mother's talk at home.

Seeing that it was evening time, she just came out of No. 43 Baojia Street. On the way home, she thought of her mother's words this morning, and the first meeting with her husband Wei Guolin in Beihai Park came to mind. , by some strange coincidence, she transferred to Beihai Park again.

Unexpectedly, while reminiscing about the past along the lakeside, I suddenly caught a glimpse of two young men, a man and a woman, cuddling together not far away, talking sweetly to each other.

Just when she was about to take a little detour so as not to disturb the two young people's love affair, she suddenly realized that the girl looked very familiar. After confirming it twice, she realized that the girl turned out to be her sister.

This morning she had doubted whether her sister was in love, but she didn't expect her suspicion to be confirmed right now.

Looking at the boy chatting and laughing with his sister, although he is sitting, he is estimated to be 1.8 meters tall, and his figure is neither fat nor thin. He is very stylish, and his appearance is dignified and somewhat handsome.

Really good skin!

Together with my sister, they seem to match each other very well, it feels like they are a match made in heaven.

Tao Min really didn't step forward rashly. She knew that her sister was thin-skinned. Since she was still hiding it from her family, she could only pretend not to know.

Seeing his sister and the boy getting up, pushing their bicycles and walking and chatting away from the park, Tao Minzhen followed quietly.
