Chapter 79

Seeing this person, Du Juanqing and the others were startled.

Especially Madam Di Pei, her face turned pale with fright, and she almost couldn't hold the bowl in her hand.

"Auntie, Uncle, I..."

"It's okay, it's okay." Elder Di Ge quickly waved his hands with a smile, "In this world, who can move when they encounter delicious food? Anyway, I can't do it. It's just human nature for you to do so, there's nothing wrong with it Shame."

Mrs. Ge also nodded with a smile: "Children, you must be greedy. But how do you eat? Do you think you are really better than those cooks before?"

Mrs. Di, who is in her early fifties and full of children and grandchildren, nodded shyly and satisfied: "It's really delicious, I'm fascinated by it."

"That's right! I said that the things made by this little lady are different from others. You just don't believe it. Now that you have tasted it yourself, you finally believe it?" Mrs. Ge said proudly immediately.

"Ma'am, I'm wronged, I haven't tasted it yet!" Old Di Ge shouted quickly.

Mrs. Ge gave him a white look. "Haven't we already come here? How can we lose your food now?"

Mrs. Di was shocked again. "Auntie and Uncle are planning to eat here? This is not good, the food is already ready, and we will send it to your room."

"No. The home of my heart is my hometown. Now the lingering aroma in the kitchen is so attractive, we like it very much, and feel that eating here is much more comfortable than going back to the room, so we will eat here! "Di Ge said with a smile, and finally he turned to Mrs. Ge again, "Anyway, we are old, don't we care about shame? As long as you are happy in your heart, that is important, don't you think so?"

"My husband is right." Mrs. Di smiled and nodded.

When Mrs. Di heard the words, she knew that Aunt and Uncle had made up their minds.She didn't say any more, and quickly took the initiative to recruit people to bring the table and case cushions, barely tidy up the outside of the kitchen, and seated the two elders.

Gu Caiwei had already filled up the hot and sour soup at this time, and sent them a bowl for each of them.

Mrs. Ge quickly scooped up a spoonful and put it into her mouth, she immediately narrowed her eyes comfortably. "That's right, that's the taste! It's hot and sour, and when you eat it in your mouth, every pore on your body opens up, making you feel extremely comfortable."

"Is it so miraculous?" Di Ge took a mouthful in disbelief, and he immediately showed surprise, "It really is! If you add one point, it will be too sour, and if you subtract one point, it will be weaker. This ratio of hot and sour Just the right combination, just to my taste!"

After that, he quickly picked up the bowl and began to eat with a snort.

Although he ate quickly, his movements were not rude, but a bit reckless in his gentleness.It's really cute to be able to eat like this for an old man.

Soon, he ate a bowl of hot and sour soup, then put down the bowl and let out a long sigh. "It's really refreshing! Just after I finished eating, I felt a sense of warmth all over my body, as if the hot and sour taste quickly permeated my internal organs, driving away all the turbidity in my body. It's really comfortable!"

Mrs. Ge has already finished her own bowl at this time.She smiled and asked Mr. Di Ge: "How about it, now you still say that my nagging these days is purely because I was so hungry that day, so I think everything I eat is supremely delicious?"

"I made a mistake for my husband!" Old Di Ge quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

For the sake of his good attitude, Madam Ge forgave him with a soft snort.

When Gu Caiwei saw this, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she quickly mixed two more bowls of raw honey and sent them over.

"What is this?" Looking at the bowl of amber liquid in front of him with one or two amber petals floating in the middle, Di Ge couldn't help asking again.

"This is called peony soaked in honey." Gu Caiwei quickly replied, "Pick the peony flowers while they are still fresh, wash and dry them, and then soak them in honey. As long as they are soaked for half a month, the honey will gradually seep through. The fragrance of peony comes out. And because the peony is surrounded by honey, it will always maintain the original fresh and tender appearance of the leaves. When the fragrance is soaked, you can scoop out a few spoonfuls every time you want to eat it, and melt it with warm water. Good raw honey."

As she spoke, she smiled again. "Peony flowers bloom in spring, absorbing the vitality of spring. So they are used to soak honey and soak in water. After people drink it, they just replenish vitality. Moreover, peony petals also have the effects of nourishing blood and liver, dispelling stagnation and blood stasis, and beautifying skin. , it is a good product for women, children and the elderly to quench their thirst and invigorate Qi. It is also delicious and beautiful, and it is very face-saving when it is taken out.”

Old Di Ge raised his eyebrows when he heard this. "I didn't expect you, little lady, to know so much about the medicinal effects of peonies."

"That's natural." Gu Caiwei nodded unceremoniously.

"Then I'm going to test you." Di Ge said with a smile, "You said that peonies can be soaked in honey, but can other flowers also do it? For example, honeysuckle and camellia?"

"Of course, it's just that the medicinal effects of these flowers are different. For example, honeysuckle, which clears away heat and relieves fire, dispels wind-heat, and is most suitable for drinking in summer. But honeysuckle is sweet and cold in nature, and people with poor health should not drink more In summer, there is no more than one bowl a day, and in winter, you should drink less.” Gu Caiwei said without hesitation, “As for camellia, this is a good medicine for clearing away heat and stopping bleeding, dispelling stagnation and swelling, and is most suitable for various bleeding and bruises. , symptoms of stasis, swelling and pain. Although this can be soaked in honey, it is not for ordinary people, and ordinary people should not eat it indiscriminately."

"well said!"

After she finished speaking a few simple words, Elder Di Ge clapped his hands in satisfaction. "The old man is not mistaken, you really understand medical skills!"

"Knowing a little bit of superficiality made old Ge laugh." Gu Caiwei smiled, but her face was full of complacency, without any hint of humility.

Elder Di Ge also had a smile all over his face. "You are only less than twenty, but you already know the effects of various medicinal materials, and you know how to turn them into delicious food for people to eat. This method is more than ten times more difficult than ordinary doctors. Seeing you, The old man can't help but think of an old friend. I still remember that she was very good at cooking at a young age, and she also put medicinal materials into the pot, calling herself diet therapy."

The smile on Gu Caiwei's face froze slightly.

"Really? I don't know who that person is? Mr. Ge, can you introduce me?"

"It's impossible to recommend, because she is no longer alive." Elder Di Ge let out a long sigh, and the smile on his face gradually dimmed.

When Mrs. Ge heard this, she couldn't help but her eyes turned red. "She is such a good child, but it's a pity... hey!"

Old Di Ge sighed again, and he stood up. "Forget it, since you're full, Ma'am, you can walk around for a while and go back to lie down! It just so happens that the old man and the Marquis of Changning still have a few words to say. When we finish talking, you should also have a rest. By then We can have our next meal!"

Mrs. Ge was immediately amused by him again.

"You're so old!" She couldn't help but scold her husband, "The parents, Mrs. and Mrs. Ning, didn't come to our house to cook for us!"

Di Ge frowned. "Don't you want Madam Changninghou to cook you more food?"

Madam Ge paused.

When Gu Caiwei saw this, she quickly smiled and said: "I understand what you two mean, Mr. Di Ge, you love Madam and hope she can live comfortably, but Mrs. Ge loves me, a junior, and can't bear me to work too hard. It's a good intention. As a junior, I have no other advantages, only young and energetic, and I can talk about it. It's hard to come to Ge Lao Mansion, so please give me a chance to show my performance! If I behaved well, you really like what I cook, then you can also find a cook and ask him to come to the Hou Mansion to learn from me for a few days, and I will teach him all the dishes I can cook that are suitable for Mrs. Ge. I taught it by hand, and my cooking skills will definitely not be bad, so it is enough to take care of Mrs. Ge."

"That's a good idea!" Old Di Ge's eyes brightened immediately, "That's how we do it!"

Mrs. Ge also nodded in satisfaction. "It would be the best if you can arrange it like this. You are a little lady, with a husband and a son, of course you should put most of your energy on housekeeping."

Having said that, Mrs. Ge went back to her room.Mrs. Di hurriedly asked some children from Di's family to play with the two children Gu Tianyuan and Du Yi, while Gu Caiwei and Du Junqing followed Di Ge to his study.

When he arrived outside the study, Old Man Di Ge first said to Du Juanqing: "Marquis of Changning, you wait outside first, the old man wants to have a few words with Madam Changning alone first."

Du Juan nodded. "it is good."

Elder Di Ge waved to Gu Caiwei again. "Come with me!"

Gu Caiwei's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

She hurriedly followed Mr. Di Ge into the study, and heard a creak, and the door closed behind her.

"Little Qi girl." Immediately, she heard a low call in the room, it was the voice of Old Di Ge.

Gu Caiwei's nose suddenly became sour, and she almost cried.

Finally, another person recognized her identity, and called out without the slightest hesitation!
"Di Aweng!" She quickly responded.

"It's really you!" Old Di Ge looked surprised, "You... last time my wife ate the hot and sour soup you made, she said that she felt a familiar taste. Then the next day, she told me I had a dream last night, and I dreamed of your grandfather. I was surprised at the time. Then, I heard what happened in the Marquis of Changning's residence. "

After finishing speaking, he gently stroked Gu Caiwei's back with one hand. "Since old man Gao left, you must have suffered a lot."

Gu Caiwei felt even more sad.

"But at any rate, grandpa's passing was not painful, and I did my best. I have a clear conscience in my life." She said with a sob.

"That's natural." Old Man Di Ge sighed softly, "Old Man Gao is blessed to have a granddaughter like you, and it's also my blessing. I still remember that you were only a little taller than the stove at that time. Going a little bit, I was already walking around the stove with a spatula, and scolded your grandpa for being too cruel at that time. But who knows, after he passed away, this became one of the ways I miss him. Even , if it weren't for your cooking skills, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to recognize you."

Gu Caiwei nodded with tears in her eyes. "Learning to make medicinal food was not forced by my grandfather, but by my own will. I have also benefited a lot from it over the years...and I also owe it to Di Aweng for your careful guidance."

"Isn't this what it should be? Your grandfather and I have been close friends for many years. In my heart, you are the same as my granddaughter." Elder Di Ge patted her on the back again, "It's just that I still can't figure it out, you Why did you suddenly change your identity?"

"Hey, I haven't figured this out until now!" Gu Caiwei sighed helplessly, and told him everything that happened to her these days.

After listening to Mr. Di Ge, he frowned instantly. "Resurrecting the dead, is there really such a wonderful thing in the world? I have seen this a lot in various legends before, but this is the first time it has actually appeared in front of my eyes. Even you can't figure out the reason... Then it seems that I have to be careful." Just research and research."

"What's the use of studying it? Gu Caiwei is dead, and now Gu Caiqin is the one who survived. Even Gu Caiwei's body has been transported back to Xuzhou for burial." Gu Caiwei said softly, "Now I can only continue to use this body Live well."

"That being said, this matter is indeed strange, and the reason must be clarified. I always feel... there must be something behind it." Old Di Ge said slowly.

After Gu Caiwei heard this, she felt a chill down her back for no reason.

"Diaon, what did you think of?"

"Not yet, it's just that I feel something is wrong no matter what I think." Old Di Ge shook his head, but immediately he smiled at her again, "But it's okay, with you Di Aweng here! No matter what happens in the future, I will Protect yours."

Gu Caiwei's heart suddenly warmed up, and she quickly raised a smile. "Thank you Diaron!"

"We've known each other for a long time, what can I thank you for? Your grandfather also helped me a lot in the early years!" Mr. Di Ge waved his hand, "Now, I will ask your husband to come in."

Gu Caiwei quickly wiped off the wetness from the corners of her eyes, and then nodded.

Immediately, Du Juanqing was invited in.

After entering the door, he saw Gu Caiwei with red eye circles, and Elder Di Ge with a somewhat sad face.

Immediately, his eyes darkened, and he hurried forward to salute.

"Excuse me, sit down!" Elder Di Ge waved his hand indifferently, and asked straight to the point, "The two of you tried every means to show off at my wife's birthday banquet last time, and even gave me a gift. The altar medicine wine came here, and there must be something to ask for. But in the end, you can just tell me what you want!"

Du Juan glanced at Gu Caiwei, Gu Caiwei just nodded at him.

Du Juanqing took out a roll of silk cloth hidden in his bosom, and handed it to Elder Di Ge with both hands.

When Di Ge opened it, his expression changed drastically.

"Iron ore? Found in Yongxing County? Marquis Changning, is what you said true?"

"It's absolutely true. I went out to the capital last year, and I went there specifically to look at the mines. When I came back, I brought some ores back." Du Juanqing said, and took out a small piece of dusty iron. The ore was placed in front of him.

Mr. Di Ge quickly took it in his hand, looked carefully at the light coming in from the window, and then he couldn't help but marvel: "The iron content in this ore is not low!"

"It's more than low? It's frighteningly high, okay?" Gu Caiwei interrupted quickly, and took out her dagger to show him, "Look, Mr. Ge, this dagger is from the iron mine in Yongxing County. It was made of pig iron dug out of the mine!"

Di Ge weighed it with his hands, and his eyes lit up immediately. "It really is a good dagger! It looks simple and unpretentious, but it is actually restrained. All the killing intent is contained in the seemingly ordinary blade. Once the killing intent in the human body is stimulated, the knife will also resonate. At that time, this is the A murderous weapon!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Du Juanqing, but immediately turned his gaze to Gu Caiwei. "Has this dagger seen blood?"

"You are amazing!" Gu Caiwei quickly gave a thumbs up when she heard the words, and explained the incident with Zhang Changzong.

Old Di Ge was furious after hearing this.

"This kind of despicable villain, short-sighted and ignorant of good and evil, knows how to bully others. He is just a lowly maidservant of an Israeli servant, but he bullies ignorant women and children with the power of Princess Taiping. It is simply abhorrent! You should have cut him to death at that time Let's see how he will use that face to bluff around in the future!"

Don't look at the old man who is usually cheerful and easy to talk.But once he got angry, he showed his sharpness in an instant, and the coldness splashed in his eyes, and the whole study room seemed to be frozen in an instant. My heart tightened, and my limbs felt cold.

Gu Caiwei quickly took a deep breath, and then she persuaded him in a low voice: "You think I don't want to? When I saw his face at that time, I wanted to kill him! But he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and has been blocked by others In front of him, he shrank back and opened his teeth and claws. Later, seeing that something was wrong, he left his own people and ran away! Before I could react, he disappeared!"

"That's why, Lizi is not good enough for tricks! Such a lowly thing deserves to be reduced to a plaything!" Elder Di Ge was still cursing angrily.

After scolding, he looked at Du Juanqing coldly again. "And you too. A majestic man, he can't even protect his wife, but let her protect herself. Fortunately, she is smart enough to react quickly and drive him away. Otherwise, how can you tell her father Auntie explain?"

Du Juanqing quickly lowered his head. "I was wrong, and nothing like this will ever happen again."

"You'd better do what you say!" Old Di Ge snorted coldly, still very angry.

Gu Caiwei couldn't stand it anymore. "That... That incident has passed, so don't mention it again. Right now, let's talk about this iron mine!"

"Of course we need to talk about the iron ore, but that doesn't stop me from scolding him first!" Di Ge glared at Du Juan angrily, and then unfolded the roll of silk cloth for a closer look. Immediately, the brows frowned even tighter.

"In all fairness, the old man should be happy that another iron mine was discovered on the land of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is such a good iron mine. However, once the news of the iron mine is announced, how many wolf ambitions will it attract? I don’t know how many people will be coveted, and I don’t know how many lives will be killed, so I can’t be happy anymore.” Elder Di Ge sighed, “And I am old, although Her Majesty still trusts me and respects me, but when I am old, many things I can’t do what I want. Most importantly, I’m afraid I won’t be able to live for a few years. But the ownership of the iron mine is a big problem, and it will be involved for at least several decades. We must not be negligent in this matter.”

A shadow cast over Du Juanqing's face when he heard the words. "Mr. Di Ge, do you mean that you don't plan to take care of it?"

Gu Caiwei shook her head. "The old man won't ignore it. He's just lamenting that he lacks energy and can't manage from beginning to end. Then, the old man should recommend a suitable candidate for us."

When Di Ge heard this, a crack appeared on his solemn face.

"You little lady, can't you let me pretend first? Why expose me so quickly?"

Gu Caiwei stuck out her tongue. "I was wrong."

Di Gelao whispered again. "However, what the old man said just now is also true. The old man is old, and now he has no energy, and most of the government can let go. So in this matter, I can only give you a lead, and then introduce a credible Give it to you, and escort you for a while at the beginning, that's all I can do."

Listening to the old man's dejected words, Gu Caiwei's heart was clenched into a ball.

"Diaron..."

"Okay, you don't need to persuade me." Di Ge interrupted her quickly, "Everyone is born, old, sick and dies. This is the way of the cycle of heaven and earth. I have lived for more than 60 years, with ups and downs in my life, and I have enjoyed the best I have suffered countless times of greed and slander, but in the end I am still standing here, receiving the favor of Her Majesty the Queen, and being loved by the people all over the world. Even if you encounter difficulties, you will be the first Time to think of coming to me, this is enough to prove how deep my reputation is in the hearts of the people. This old man will have no regrets in this life!"

"Besides, seeing the like-minded friends pass away one after another, leaving me alone as a bad old man living in this world, in fact, this feeling is quite uncomfortable. I have been looking forward to going underground to accompany them as soon as possible, maybe Those bastards were already eating, drinking, and having fun, and they laughed at me for working so hard here, and I’m still trapped in the imperial court and can’t be free when I’m too old!"

"However, after a hundred years, Her Majesty the Queen will definitely bury me in a grand manner and reward countless servants with chariots and horses. In this way, I will definitely look down on them when I am under the Nine Springs. At that time, they will not have the right to mock me, but It's almost as good as trying to curry favor with me!"

Having said that, he laughed out loud.

Now that the old man has already understood the Tao so clearly, Gu Caiwei will not say anything more.

It is true that sometimes death is a relief for an old and frail old man.In particular, the aging of the human body is irreversible, no matter how much medicine is used to take care of it, it will actually have little effect.In this case, it would be a good idea to arrange everything at hand and say goodbye to this world safely.

When Du Juanqing heard this, he also nodded. "Mr. Ge, you are right. However, who do you plan to arrange to take over this iron mine?"

"This old man has to think about it first. This is a big matter, and we can't play games." Mr. Di Ge immediately put on a serious expression, "Put this scroll of silk with me first, and I have to take a closer look at it." Just do it."

This is a trivial matter, Du Juanqing immediately agreed.

After talking about this matter, Old Man Di Ge called the servant outside and asked him to check on Mrs. Ge's situation.

The boy looked back. "The old lady just broke out in sweat again, she said that her body was very relaxed, so she changed her clothes and went to sleep."

"Then let her sleep! She hasn't had a good night's sleep for a long time." Di Ge nodded quickly, then turned to Du Juanqing, "I have nothing to do, Chang Ning Hou, would you like to play a game of chess with me?"

"I can't ask for it." Du Juanqing nodded without hesitation.

The time to be alone with Mr. Di Ge, which others couldn't ask for, is now offered to him for nothing. Unless he is crazy and stupid, how could he refuse?
Old Man Di Ge nodded in satisfaction, and the servant hurried in to set up the chessboard.

The two sat down respectively, and Mr. Di Ge nodded to Gu Caiwei again. "Madam Chang Ninghou, please sit down too! Anyway, if you are idle, you are idle. It would be good for you to observe from the sidelines and give advice to Chang Ninghou."

"Forget it! Go and pour you another glass of wine. You can sit a little longer after drinking it." Gu Caiwei got up quickly.

Elder Di Ge also nodded.

After Gu Caiwei left, the two men started to settle.After making a few moves with each other, Di Ge's eyes narrowed slightly: "The Marquis of Changning is really hiding something! Your chess style is the same as yours. It seems light and gentle, but in fact it is pressing every step of the way, which makes people uneasy. Be careful, I was swallowed by you, but I still don't know what happened. Fortunately, the old man is well-informed, and young people like you have seen a few, otherwise I'm afraid I will be fooled by you! "

"Old Di Ge, you are not bad, you even pretended to be better than me." Du Juan responded calmly.

Old Di Ge immediately laughed again. "You are an interesting young man! Let me just say, if you have nothing to show for it, how can that girl be obediently at your mercy?"

Du Juanqing frowned slightly, but suddenly he heard old man Di Ge ask: "Do you know, the old man and the old man's wife have been married for 50 years, and they still have a good relationship until now, what is the reason why they almost never quarrel?"

Du Juan was stunned.

"I don't know, please let me know."

"It's very simple, two words—respect." Elder Di Ge said quickly, "Since I marry her, she will be the one who will accompany me for the rest of my life. As long as there is no flaw in moral character, then you should understand her and respect her." She, you can't underestimate her just because she is a woman. And no matter what happens, you have to trust her and give her everything that should be handed over to her. If you don't give her enough trust, how will you know her How many surprises will it bring you?"

The more Du Junqing listened, the more confused he became. "Why did Mr. Di Ge say that?"

"Hey!"

Elder Di Ge suddenly let out a long sigh.He made another move before reaching out to pat him on the shoulder: "young man, you can't do anything wrong if you listen to me. I'm someone who has experienced it, so I won't harm you."

"Mr. Di Ge, can you speak more clearly?" Du Juanqing asked again.

Old Di Ge immediately shook his head. "If you say everything clearly, what's the point? The old man can only say so much now. As for what to do next, it's all up to you. But... the old man can also give you a Advice—there are some little ladies in this world, they are very interesting. If you get along well with her and dig deeper, you will definitely become more and more addicted to her, and you will eventually be unable to stop!"

Gu Caiwei went to pour the wine, and when she came back, she just heard what Di Ge said.She asked: "Mr. Di Ge, whose young lady are you talking about? Are you afraid that Mrs. Ge will be angry if she finds out?"

"I'm talking about my wife!" Di Ge replied with a smile, "My wife is a treasure in my hand. We have been together for 50 years, but every time we spend more time with her, she can still make me feel better." I laugh a lot. Now just thinking about her makes me so happy!"

Gu Caiwei pursed her lips, and put down the medicinal wine for him. "This time the medicinal wine is slightly improved compared to last time, but it only increases or decreases the amount of some medicinal materials. You can try it."

"Okay!" Old Di Ge hurriedly picked up his cup and took a sip. He nodded immediately, "This time the change is very good. After drinking the previous medicinal wine for half a month, the damp heat in my body has been eliminated by about half. Now it should be Focus on getting rid of paralysis."

With his affirmation, a smile appeared on Gu Caiwei's face. She looked at Du Juanqing again, and saw that he was frowning tightly, and his eyes were fixed on the chessboard in front of him, looking very embarrassed.

"What's the matter with you?" she asked hurriedly.

Du Juan remained silent, but Di Ge laughed and said: "It's nothing, the old man's chess skills are too superb, he can't beat the old man, so it's embarrassing!"

Du Junqing nodded. "What Di Ge said is true."

Gu Caiwei also nodded. "Okay, let's take it as if what you said is true."

After finishing speaking, she handed him another bowl of seemingly ordinary water. "this is for you."

Du Juanqing took it and took a big sip, his eyes were closed tightly, and his facial features were wrinkled together in pain.

"Why didn't you tell me that you put so much mustard in here?" After finally realizing it, he quickly asked Gu Caiwei.

"Mustard is a good thing. It clears the nose and refreshes the mind. Isn't it suitable for you to use when you are playing chess with Mr. Di Ge?" Gu Caiwei replied solemnly, "Besides, it took me a lot of effort to make the mustard dissolve in water. And invisible, it looks as if no mustard has been added!"

Du Juan glanced at her quietly, but still picked up the bowl and took another sip.But this time, his mouthful was much smaller.

Seeing this scene in his eyes, veteran Di Ge couldn't help laughing, and took a sip of his own medicinal wine before sighing as if talking to himself: "It's nice to be young!"

Once the game of Go is played, the timing is uncertain.Gu Caiwei is not interested in playing chess, so she can only take a rough look.She just watched Di Gelao and Du Junqing keep playing and picking up pieces, and after winning and losing two sets with each other, about two hours passed.

The boy was late at this time. "Master Ge, the old lady is awake."

"Ah, she slept for so long? It seems that she really slept well!" Old Di Ge nodded quickly, and put down the chess pieces in his hand, "If that's the case, let's draw this game!"

"Everything is up to Mr. Di Ge's arrangements." Du Juanqing nodded.

So, both sides put down the chess pieces in their hands, and Di Ge wanted to get up, but his legs were numb after sitting on his knees for too long.Even with the help of a servant, he staggered several times.

Gu Caiwei pushed Du Junqing. "Aren't you going to help the old man?"

Du Junqing hurried over to help Di Ge up, while Gu Caiwei squatted down and massaged the old man's knees and calves for a while. "And now? What do you think?"

"Well, it's much better!" Elder Di Ge nodded quickly, "The numbness is gone, and the strength in my legs has returned a lot, at least now I have enough strength to go to Madam!"

After saying that, he didn't delay any longer, and hurried to Mrs. Ge's side.

Mrs. Ge slept for nearly two hours, but now she wakes up full of energy, with a satisfied smile on her face.The whole person looks much more energetic.

When Mr. Di Ge saw this, he was even more delighted. "Madam, you are much better!"

"Yes, I think so too." Mrs. Ge nodded, "How about you, my husband?"

"I'm much better too. Just now I drank another cup of medicinal wine, played chess with Marquis Changning for a while, and then talked, and my mentality is much more relaxed." Di Ge said with a smile.

"It's just..." He rubbed his stomach with one hand, "After racking my brains and playing chess for so long, I'm hungry."

Mrs. Ge laughed again. "If you want Mrs. Marquis Changning to cook for you, just say so. Do you still wait for the younger generation to come up with something like this? You old man, the older you get, the more outrageous you become!"

Old Di Ge smiled quickly, and said to Gu Caiwei: "Then I will trouble you to cook us some food now! In fact, it doesn't need to be too delicate, and you don't need to cook too much. Our old couple don't eat much now. It’s a waste if you do too much.”

"Okay, I know." Gu Caiwei nodded quickly, and then followed Mrs. Di to the kitchen.

Since so many people are going to cook, she must not be able to do it alone.Gu Caiwei directly directed the people in the small kitchen to choose and wash the vegetables, and after the ingredients were packed, they were delivered to her.

Then she lit the stove, and she fried the cut marinated rabbit meat in the pan. After the meat was fragrant, she added a bowl of freshly peeled peas and a handful of fresh spring bamboo shoots. Add salt and pepper to taste.

She waited until the fragrance of spring bamboo shoots and peas came out before she filled them up and poured them into the pot of stewed rice.At this time, the glutinous rice has already been cleaned, add water and pour it into the pot, mix well with spring bamboo shoots and peas, and then simmer on high heat.

While the rice was stewed, Gu Caiwei picked another pot of fresh river prawns, picked off the heads of the prawns, and fried the oil in the pan, then removed the prawn heads, leaving only the prawn oil, then added water to the pot, boiled and poured Diced silken tofu.After the tender tofu is rolled several times in the pot, put the shrimp tails in. After the shrimp tails change color, add seasoning, sprinkle with chopped green onion, and a fresh shrimp tofu soup is ready.

At this time, the aroma of rice mixed with spring bamboo shoots and peas was already exuding from the cauldron over there. Gu Caiwei then asked someone to turn the fire down to a low one, and slowly simmered a layer of crispy rice on the bottom of the pot, and then the rice was ready. .

"Okay, tell everyone, let's serve dinner!" Taking off her apron, Gu Caiwei clapped her hands and announced loudly.

But who knows, when she packed up and went out, she unexpectedly saw a group of people standing in front of her!

It turned out that when she was cooking, Mr. Di Ge's three sons and two other daughter-in-laws all came!There are also a few grandchildren who were called to entertain Gu Tianyuan and Du Yi, and now they are also here.

With so many people gathered together, the place seemed cramped.

Seeing her coming out, old man Di Ge's eyes flashed a hint of cunning. "Mrs. Changning Hou, I'm really sorry. We didn't expect that all these children would come at this time! It's just that everyone is here, so let them eat. I just don't know, is the portion you cook enough? "

This old man!
Gu Caiwei gritted her teeth secretly.

Today, the two officially met, and he started digging holes for her again!Gu Caiwei cursed quietly in her heart.

Fortunately, she has experience.When the grandfather was alive, the two old men often tripped and dug holes for each other, taking pleasure in seeing each other being tricked by themselves.Moreover, the two of them see each other's tricks, and continue to dig holes one after another, and they often enjoy it.She... Ahem, she has always been watching the fun with relish, and helping grandpa with ideas.

But that has always been the work of the two elders, and she, a junior, will not be involved.

In the end, who would have thought that when grandpa left, Old Man Di Ge would point the finger at him!
This old man is really a childlike innocence!
Gu Caiwei took a deep breath, and a smile appeared on her face. "Of course the portion is enough. There are so many people in Ge Lao's mansion, am I really stupid enough to make enough for us all? I'm not stupid!"

Fortunately, she was careful and doubled the portion of the food according to the original estimate, otherwise it would not be enough for so many people!

When Mr. Di Ge heard the words, he narrowed his eyes slightly, but there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

Gu Caiwei walked over and sat down beside Du Juanqing, and then the cook brought people to serve the dishes.

Tonight, Gu Caiwei made a total of one meal and one dish. The rice was stewed rice with fresh bamboo shoots and peas, and the dish was fresh shrimp and tofu soup.All the vegetables are selected in this season, and in order to cater for the appetite of the elderly, she specially made the taste very light, using only spring bamboo shoots, fresh shrimps and other natural ingredients to extract the fresh and fragrant taste, coupled with her good craftsmanship , Naturally, these things are made to look good and full of fragrance.

By the time the food was delivered to everyone, many people couldn't hold back and swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva.

Old Di Ge was even more unceremonious.When the food was delivered, he quickly picked up the bowl and took a big bite: "It's delicious!"

Take another sip of soup. "It's really sweet and delicious! It's my favorite taste!"

Then, he directly put the soup in the rice bowl, mixed it up and ate it in big mouthfuls.

Seeing this, the other children and grandchildren also followed suit and started eating.

Seeing this, Du Juanqing turned his head to look at Gu Caiwei.

Gu Caiwei watched Go with them for a long time in the afternoon, and just now she was smoking in the kitchen, sitting there panting for breath.

In the end, he noticed Du Juanqing's strange eyes.She quickly turned her head to look over: "You don't eat, what are you looking at me for?"

"Why does Di Ge's way of eating seem familiar to me?" Du Juan said calmly.

"Yeah, I've eaten like this before. At that time, I was ridiculed by Ayi for being like a countryman!" Gu Caiwei nodded, "But look at it now, if it's Di Ge's old food, other people don't think it's strange at all. I've learned it all! Maybe after a while, this way of eating will become popular in Chang'an City!"

"No, that's not what I mean." Du Juan shook his head, "I just want to say——judging from all the signs of today, you and Mr. Di Ge are old acquaintances, and even have a close relationship. Are you right? ?”
