Hangzhou.

Loei.

There are thousands of plants and trees in the world, Li Shang only loves the plums, which are lonely and arrogant, and the mansion in Hangzhou is also a forest of white plums.

In the middle of winter, white plums bloom in the courtyard one after another. The white and transparent flowers and the strong and sparse branches set off each other, creating a proud and noble beauty.

The fragrance of plum is faint, and is sent into the house by the cold wind through the open mahogany carved window, dispelling the bitter medicinal smell that has been lingering for many days.

Wang Qi put down the scroll in his hand, leaned against the window, turned his head to look at the snow-white plums in the courtyard, his clear eyes showed longing.

Squeak.

The originally opened window was closed by a pair of thin and slender hands, which cut off the cold wind that continuously blows into the room.

Wang Qi raised his head, looked at the owner of the hand, smiled helplessly, "Mr. Li, my health has improved, and the cool breeze is fine."

It's just a little wind and cold, this person actually ordered him not to go out, and now he is not even allowed to blow the air, it is really a big deal.

Li Shang stuffed him with a bowl of warm soup, and said with a half-smile: "I don't know who stayed in the courtyard for less than an hour a few days ago, and started to have a headache and fever at night. Although the morning dew was relieved, your body is I also suffered a great loss, today is different from the past, if you want to recover sooner, Mr. Wang, you should listen to me as a doctor."

Back then when Li Shang helped him escape from Korea by feigning death, the two went to the Central Plains together, and agreed that Wang Qi would receive his medical treatment to recuperate his body, and he would take him to appreciate the scenery of the Central Plains mountains and rivers, but the longer they spent together, the more Li Shang discovered Wang Qi is really a disobedient patient.

Wang Qi lowered his head to drink the medicine silently, the medicine juice entered the mouth, it was bitter and pungent, extremely unpalatable, so he pretended to be nonchalant, put down the medicine bowl, and refused to take another sip.

He sighed in his heart, here he is again, this person usually looks like a gentle and nice young man, but whenever he encounters disobedient patients, he will become serious and serious.

Li Shang had a panoramic view of all his small movements, but he didn't point them out, he just said regretfully, "Five days later, it will be the Lantern Festival, and there will be a lantern festival at night, so I wanted to invite you to swim with me, but it's a pity... "

"What a pity?"

"Unfortunately, the young master's wind and cold can't be cured for a long time, so he can't go out. I'm afraid I will miss this lantern festival."

Hearing this, Wang Qi had no choice but to pick up the medicine bowl again and began to drink the medicine silently.

There is still some time before the Lantern Festival, street food vendors have put up signs selling glutinous rice balls.

It was snowing late at night, and pedestrians came and went in a hurry, rushing home to reunite with their families or leave the city before the city gates closed.

The vendor, Lao Zhang, sat idly on the old bench, hunched his neck and looked at the passers-by. No one cared about his stall, and he was not in a hurry to attract customers. He planned to close the stall and go home to have dinner with his wife and daughter in a while. .

A tall, thin man in black stopped when he passed the signboards all over the booth, stared at the words on the signboards for a long time and remained silent.

Seeing this, Lao Zhang stepped forward and asked earnestly, "It's such a cold day, what would the guest officer want to warm you up?"

The man in black turned his head to look at him, his eyes were silent and desolate, and he described it as decadent, as if he had lost his soul.

Old Zhang was startled by the man's eyes, and took a step back, regretting that he shouldn't have greeted him when the man spoke.

Lao Zhang heard him ask, "Do you have red bean glutinous rice balls here?"

The voice was hoarse and obscure, as if it had been squeezed out of flesh and blood, it was really shocking.

Lao Zhang quickly replied, "Yes, yes, yes! The red bean glutinous rice balls made by the old man's family are filled with freshly boiled red beans, and the sweet red bean soup is used as the soup base. They are absolutely delicious..."

As soon as he mentioned his own glutinous rice balls, Lao Zhang forgot to be afraid, and kept talking non-stop. After a while, he stopped talking when he saw no response from the other party. He looked at the man cautiously and asked, "Guest officer, would you like a bowl?"

"it is good."

"Got it!"

The glutinous rice balls were wrapped long ago, and the sweet soup was boiled in advance and kept warm on the stove. After a while, a bowl of sweet and delicious red bean glutinous rice balls was placed in front of the man in black.

Lao Zhang was still afraid of him, so he said hastily, "Guest officer, take it easy" and hid aside.

The snow-white and soft glutinous glutinous rice balls are served in the light red sweet soup, and the hot air turns into white water mist, which is pleasing to the eye.

The man didn't know what he was thinking, he stared blankly at the steaming white porcelain bowl, and didn't move the spoon for a long time.

Just before Lao Zhang couldn't help but stepped forward to persuade him that if he didn't eat the glutinous rice balls, it would be cold, the man finally picked up the bowl and started eating the glutinous rice balls.

The snow-white skin is soft, waxy, smooth and not sticky to the teeth. The red bean filling is sweet and smooth, paired with the sweet and warm red bean soup, which not only sweetens the taste buds, but also warms the body.

But obviously the entrance is sweet, but the heart feels unbearably bitter?

I don't know if his eyes were blinded by the hot air or what, but the man's eyes gradually turned red while eating glutinous rice balls.

Once upon a time, he also cooked a bowl of sweet red bean soup for one person, and promised him that he would cook sweet soup for him every day... But now he has lost that person...
