Chapter 66 Chu Di comes to visit
On the second day, Chu Di came to Shenji Distillery alone.
"Ali—" Chu Di entered the door and smiled at Shen Shaoguang behind the counter.
Shen Shaoguang bit his lip and stepped forward to salute the younger generation seriously: "I see Uncle."
A Chang almost dropped a stack of plates in his hand. When did the little lady come out with such an uncle? Isn't this the guest who came yesterday?
Pulling up the kitchen curtain, Yu San's expression changed when he saw this scene. A Yuan is very calm and calm. It is not surprising that a person like my little lady has two noble relatives, and it is not surprising that the emperor is a princess who lives in the people.
Although she was sure before, but after hearing her confession, Chu Di was still excited: "Okay, okay, our little A Li has grown into a girl."
"Uncle is still the same as before."
Chu Di looked at Shen Shaoguang carefully, and Shen Shaoguang also looked at Chu Di carefully.
How can it still be the same as it used to be? Compared with the appearance in his memory, the uncle of the Chu family has more wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and even has a little hair on his temples. The young high-ranking officials who used to be high-spirited have now become calm and indifferent Confucian scholars.
Both were a little embarrassed.
Shen Shaoguang asked him to sit in the back house.
Looking at the peach trees, courgette stands, eggplant seedlings, and cooing little hens in the small courtyard, Chu Di smiled with emotion: "Back then, you, Aye, always wanted to return to the garden, build a thatched cottage, and plant peaches and plums in front of the courtyard. , I grew melons and vegetables in the backyard, and even drew pictures." Unfortunately...
Shen Shaoguang remembered the poem in the book "Have a crown, drive to the forest spring" and smiled, "My child's ability to grow vegetables should be better than Aye."
Chu Di laughed.
Shen Shaoguang opened the curtain for Chu Di, and the two entered the main hall.
Ordinary dwellings are no better than official residences. The houses are shallow and narrow, with three-faced walls, and a few elm wood tables with thick legs and thick faces are randomly placed. There are books buttoned, half knotted, and half Cup of residual tea, although humble and simple, but also leisurely.
Chu Di glanced at the booklet, "Aphro Country Travel Notes", and couldn't help but smile.
Shen Shaoguang tidied up a little embarrassedly, asked Chu Di to sit down, and personally served the sour plum drink from Jingshui Town.
Chu Di set his eyes on the painting hanging on the side wall, the empty white wall with black head door, the half tree and begonia sticking out from the wall, scattered a lot of fallen flowers, no title and no money, only a "stay in the spring" chapter. .
"Is this the Begonia in the backyard?"
Although it was deliberately blurred, it could not be concealed from the insider. Shen Shaoguang nodded and said with a smile: "In the spring day, I passed by the wall of the old house and saw that the flowers were blooming better and better."
Originally the master, but now he can only watch it from outside the wall, Chu Di let out a slow breath and smiled: "A Li's painting is very good, better than your Aye's, his calligraphy and painting It doesn't look like it was written by one person."
Shen Shaoguang laughed and looked back at the painting. He was also working as a writer. The ink painting was leisurely and light, and the fine brushwork was realistic and charming. It was really good. It won't hang up."
Chu Di smiled and tapped her with his hand.
After a few greetings, Shen Shaoguang greeted Chu Di's family, and then talked about how to go out of the palace and live in the courtyard.
With the passage of time, it is natural to pick up the good ones. Shen Shaoguang talked about several inner-teaching doctors in Ye Ting, "Dr. Zhao loves wine, and he said that if he goes out to sell his handwriting, 70% of them should be tribute to the God of Bacchus...Dr. Fang does not He loves words, but is very particular about it. Once, he refused to teach the qin because the incense burned by the inner circle was wrong. ..." Shen Shaoguang said in Dr. Liu's tone.
She was talking about the serious inner-teaching doctors, not the eunuchs and palace maids who later became teachers.
Among them, Zhao Sinian and Chu Di also inquired about the situation of Shen's mother and daughter. Hearing her mention it at this time, he recalled the scene at that time.
Shen Shaoguang also said something about the dining room of the inner court, "So many eunuchs and palace maids are actually a little superfluous. At this time, most of them are listening to the old inner supervisor talking about ancient times. What about the lotus essence from Taiye Pond, the rat monster in the dining room, etc. …”
Shen Shaoguang's life in Ye Ting has been quiet for a long time, but don't know that the more she said this, the more sadness in Chu Di's heart, the little child, how much trial and error had to go through before he felt that this leisure was worth speaking about.
As for the beginning and end of leaving the palace, it is simpler, Shen Shaoguang said with a smile, "Last year there was a drought, let out some palace maids, and I gave some money to the eunuch who was in charge of replacing the palace maids, and came out after reporting an illness. "Shen Shaoguang thought of Lin Shaoyin again. At that time, this buddy had a cold face, which was really scary. Who would have thought that he would discuss emotional issues with him now.
Chu Di didn't ask her why she didn't go back to Luoyang. Obviously, Xiao A Li was a smart girl, not the kind of delicate girl who could only make a living by herself, so why bother others? Not happy?
After talking about his own situation, Shen Shaoguang also asked, "How did Uncle recognize me?" Li Xianggong didn't recognize me.
Chu Di said with a smile, "I was originally in the Ministry of Punishment, and I recognized a criminal who was a man disguised as a woman just by a picture that the officials painted at most five-pointed."
Shen Shaoguang opened his eyes wide, wondering if this kind of observation is a gift or the result of good training?
What Chu Di didn't say was that he and Shen Qian knew each other as a young man, not as much as Li Xiang did when he became an official. The two families lived next to each other, and the family was good, so he was also familiar with the Shen family's sister-in-law. Like his mother, but his mouth is like his father.
Now that he said this, Shen Shaoguang simply begged Chu Di, "I also asked Uncle to tell Li Xiang about me. Uncle Li is an official, and I don't know how many people are watching. It's not appropriate to have too many people like this. Implicated." The key is to make it difficult for people to do it. The memory of an old friend is not the same as the long-term trouble of receiving an old friend. Just keep that old heart that hasn't changed.
Chu Di nodded slowly and looked into Shen Shaoguang's eyes: "I'm fine."
Shen Shaoguang narrowed his eyes and smiled and said, "Don't you think that your life is good now? There are thatched cottages, peaches and plums, and melons and vegetables." He borrowed what Chu Di said just now when Shen Qian returned to the garden and lived in the dream.
Chu Di frowned and scolded: "If you are Xiao Langjun, I won't care about you anymore."
Speaking of this, Chu Di remembered the "suspicious" Lin Shaoyin Lai. Although such words are not suitable for an uncle to tell his niece, but at this time, there is no other way, so he has to obey the authority. Besides, A Li Not the kind of shy little lady, "You and Lin Shaoyin—"
Shen Shaoguang felt that the former minister of the Ministry of Punishment was simply too good. If he hadn't resigned early, he would have been able to enter the history books. The descendants may also have novels and TV series featuring him as the protagonist, such as "The Case of Chu Gong" and "Detective Chu Di". .
Shen Shaoguang didn't talk about the lintel, "That Shaoyin's temperament is too cold, and his son is too loose and inappropriate."
The incompatibility of personality is really a good excuse for ancient and modern times. Chu Di swallowed the words to his lips, raised his eyebrows and looked at her, Shen Shaoguang smiled.
After a long while, Shen Shaoguang finally corrected his expression, "Whether you go to Luoxia, go with Uncle, or stay with Li Xianggong, you are still the daughter of your late father. If you can't lose this important identity, it is the same everywhere. These are all the same. It's the child's responsibility, and the child bears it."
Chu Di recalled that more than ten years ago, in a house not far away, the person who was always calm and undisciplined said with determination, "I only do what I do."
Chu Di took a deep look at Shen Shaoguang, they were really father and daughter!
Shen Shaoguang laughed again, and said sincerely, "To be honest, my son really likes today's life. Uncle see, I have only been out of the palace for a year, and I have this restaurant and bought a small house. I can't guarantee that I can become a rich man in Chang'an. At that time, I will buy a piece of other business in Zhongnan Mountain, and I will also have a piece of Weishui River. Uncle will come to Chang'an, and we will hunt in Nanshan and fish in Weishui..." Shen Shaoguang used to draw big pictures for Ayuan, Achang and the others. Pie, I have painted it many times, and I have taken it seriously.
Chu Di made her laugh in the end, "We, A Li, not only have Yi Ya's cooking skills, but also Guan Zhong's business skills."
Shen Shaoguang said boldly, "It's a pity that he is not a man! Otherwise, he would be a pillar."
Chu Di laughed, but felt more and more regretful in his heart. When A Li was a child, he was a little naive, but now this naive is only the appearance.
Looking at the sky outside, unconsciously, it was almost noon, Shen Shaoguang said with a smile: "Yesterday, who lacked food and vegetables, today Uncle must try his craftsmanship."
Shen Shaoguang found a few books for Chu Di, and asked him to go to the store in front to arrange meals by himself.
Said to taste his own craftsmanship, in the end it is not suitable to leave the guests there alone for a long time, Shen Shaoguang just made a fish sauce, and the rest was done by the third princess. Today, the third princess is very silent, and she doesn't even have a look in her eyes. The princess has such a temper...
Shen Shaoguang came back and chatted with Chu Di, but this time he was talking about learning. Shen Shaoguang was tested with sweat on the tip of his nose.
A Yuan and A Chang brought the food to the back house with trays, Shen Shaoguang breathed a sigh of relief, and the scumbag faced the teacher's exam alone, it was terrible.
Chu Di regretted that A Li's knowledge was very good among girls of her age, but compared with the lady in the academy, there was still a gap. It is inappropriate to do business here. But Chu Di thought of that Lin Shaoyin again, does A Li really have nothing to do with him?
That Lin Shaoyin was really too cold... Chu Di frowned slightly.
"Uncle, try this white chopped chicken." Shen Shaoguang gave way.
There seemed to be some redness in the bones of the cut chicken nuggets, Shen Shaoguang said with a smile: "This dish is about 'cooked meat and not cooked with bones'. It is soaked in boiling water so that it is smooth and tender."
Chu Di took a piece and dipped it in the sauce to eat it. Sure enough, the skin was smooth and the meat was smooth, light and delicious.
Shen Shaoguang asked him to taste the fish soup again, "This fish soup is made by children, uncle try it."
This fish soup is different from the traditional golden fish and jade fish. It is made by mixing grass carp slices with shredded ginger, shredded onion, garlic slices, coriander segments, soy sauce, sesame seeds, and vermicelli, and seasonings such as oil, salt and sugar. Similar to the Shunde Yusheng of later generations.
Shen Shaoguang's knife skills have improved a lot in the year since he opened the restaurant. The fish fillets are thin and uniform. After such a mix, they are smooth, tender and fresh. It is especially suitable for eating in such a hot summer. It is very refreshing.
Shen Shaoguang talked about the particularity of this piece of fish, "The key is to cut a knife on the lower jaw and tail of the fish to drain all the blood, otherwise the color will be dirty and the taste will be fishy."
Shen Shaoguang joked again, "Uncle is a gentleman from a far-flung kitchen. Listen to me, I hope you don't 'can't bear to eat its meat', otherwise this fish will die in vain?"
Seeing the lively little lady eating delicious fish soup, Chu Di suddenly felt that the market life was really good.
The author has something to say: the practice of Bai Zhanji and Shunde Yusheng refers to the Internet.

I can't help but join the show: Regarding "Aphro's Travel Notes", there are people who remember Ping Ping and Lao Lu next door recited "Aphro's face is as black as a pot, his eyes are like copper bells, and there are three more." stand on foot"? I don't know when A Li and Lin Shaoyin will be as close as Ping Ping and Lao Lu...
A Li smirked: look forward to it, the red mole on Lin Shaoyin's neck is very cute.
Lin Shaoyin coughed lightly: When?
