When the sun went down again, Xie Qin hurriedly came dressed in the sun.

"Liangqing!" He shouted excitedly when he entered the door, "Are you ready?"

Shen Bing turned out from the inner room, already fully dressed, and said helplessly, "What are you talking about? I'm here."

Excitedly, Xie Ling took his hand and came out, only to see a stone table had been set up under the big osmanthus tree in the courtyard, with three dishes and one soup on the table.Mianyang three-steamed fresh, tender and glutinous, original taste, light and soft; steamed pomfret with mushrooms and winter bamboo shoots, smooth and tender, oily and white meat; three-fresh bean skin is golden and translucent, bright and eye-catching, thin, soft and refreshing, and delicious .The delicacies are steamed up in the colorful sunset, like a table of mouth-watering fireworks.

Shen Yan was also a little surprised, approached and said, "Chu Cai?"

"Try it, do you have the taste of your hometown?" Xie Ling hastily stuffed him with a pair of chopsticks, "Try it quickly."

Shen Yi picked up a piece of three fresh bean curd, put it in his mouth and tasted it without making a sound.Under Xie Ling's nervous gaze, he picked another piece of fish maw, dipped it in the soup, and chewed it slowly.Xie Ling was flustered by his unhurried movements, and asked anxiously from the side: "What, how?"

"Which restaurant did you order this from?"

Xie Lingqing coughed, and said vaguely: "Well, it's not bad, it's considered... delicious?"

Shen Ting raised his eyebrows and said, "Sanxian bean curds pay attention to 'thin skin, clear pulp, and good fire power'. Although this bean curd looks good, the skin is a bit thick, so it has wilted by now."

Xie Ling was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "Maybe it's because the pan is not in hand... Where is the fish? Fish is always fresh, right?"

"The fish is not bad. But the cook heard from somewhere that he thought that Jiangnan cuisine always put sugar, so he actually put a small spoonful of brown sugar in the fish sauce to enhance the freshness. The sweetness took away some of the sweetness of the fish itself."

Xie Ling froze, and asked a little unwillingly: "What about the third steam...is it also unpalatable?"

"Three steams are not bad. But you need to know that this dish should be eaten as soon as it comes out of the pan. It is the most unsuitable dish to take away." Shen Yi said, "Once left for a long time, the glutinous rice flour will become damp again. Taro pumpkin, etc. The steamed vegetables are alright, but the amaranth and chrysanthemum chrysanthemum will probably turn into a lump of mud after a while."

Xie Ling scratched at the edge of the table, with a dejected expression on his face, his previous energy was completely gone, and he said listlessly: "Come on, I will definitely not give it to you next time—I'll bring you the rotten dishes made by this restaurant."

Unexpectedly, he suddenly heard Shen Ting laughing.

Xie Ling was taken aback for a moment, and when he looked up, he saw Shen Yan looking at him with a smile, the corners of her beautiful eyes and brows brightened vividly.In the glow of red and orange, his smile is like a white begonia painted with red ink, every inch of it is stained with the joy of the world.At that moment, Xie Qin seemed to see that familiar peerless figure again that made his heart flutter countless times.

In Xie Ling's sluggishness, only Shen Yan chuckled and said: "Although it is not perfect, it is very rare for this cook who is cooking for the first time."

Xie Ling was stunned for a while, then suddenly jumped up and hugged Shen Bing, and gnawed viciously on his neck.Shen Bing laughed out loud, was made ashamed and itchy by him, pushed him again and again, and was questioned by him again: "How do you know I did it!"

Shen Yan smiled and gasped in distaste, "The bean skin of your three fresh bean skin is thicker and harder than eggplant skin. Which restaurant makes it like this, it should have closed down long ago—"

Xie Ling was angry and funny, just about to refute, but suddenly stopped.He hugged Shen Bing and stood there quietly for a moment, then buried his head into his neck and rubbed it, and said aggrievedly, "You haven't smiled at me like this for a long time."

Shen Bing was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but gradually fell silent.

Xie Ling hugged him tightly, and said in a muffled voice: "I worked hard to please you, and now seeing you smiling like this, I am really content."

Shen Yan sighed: "You don't have to please me—"

"As long as I can make you happy, I am happy to do anything." Xie Qin whispered, "You are in a bad mood recently, and I can see it. You don't want to tell the reason, and I won't ask again. But in my heart Anxiety, I only worry that you will hurt your body every day. It’s fine if you are angry with me or something else, don’t skip meals because of it.”

Shen Yan closed his eyes in his arms for a long while in silence, and finally patted his back lightly: "Let's eat."

Although the taste of the food served by Chef Xie himself is not particularly outstanding, but at least the presentation is good, and Shen Bing also added a bowl of rice when he ate it.Xie Qin was really happy to see him, and he was helping him pick up vegetables and serve soup, even forgot to eat himself, and looked at him with a smile on the tip of his chopsticks.

After eating, Xie Ling stretched his waist and asked with a smile, "Since you're full, how about you go?"

Shen Yan was taken aback: "Isn't today just going to eat? What else is there?"

"How is it possible?" Xie Qin smiled and pulled him up, "Let's go with your husband."

When the two went out, they happened to be stepping on the last ray of sunlight.The bright and majestic light keeps fading and fading in the process of setting in the west, as if the thick ink and heavy colors of the painting are constantly being poured with clear water, the ink is blurred, and gradually fades into overlapping colors of gray and blue.

They rode their horses together, and under the guidance of Xie Jin, they headed all the way to the south of the city.When passing through the city, the scattered lights of the city followed the sound of horseshoes, like stars floating in the depths of the river.A peddler on the street looked up by chance, but at first he saw a black and white horse passing against the flow of people. The brocade clothes were flying like the clouds in the sky, but immediately the face of the brocade clothes was like the moon behind the clouds. After a glimpse, he disappeared again. into the thick clouds.

When the two came to the south of the city, the sky was completely dark.After leaving the city, Xie Jin rode his horse all the way, leaving the lights of Wanjia behind, and continued to walk into the night under the moonlight.Shen Ting was puzzled, not knowing what he was planning, and asked a few more questions, but Xie Ling smiled and baffled it.

Before he knew it, he had arrived at the boundary of the Nanshan Forest, Shen Yan reined in his horse with some doubts, and asked, "Why did you bring me here?"

In the 24th year of Hongwu, they came here together to view the plum blossoms, but they strayed into the deep mountains but happened to be trapped in a cave for a night in a snowstorm and survived.After returning, Xie Ling wrote an article "The Story of Seeking Plums in Nanshan" about the encounter between the two, which was widely circulated and became a witness of the friendship between "Langyu Tinglan" for a while.

I just don't know what Xie Ling meant by bringing him here today.

Xie Ling pulled his horse back to look at him, smiled slightly and said: "You and I have had an adventure here, would you like to come back with me tonight?"

Shen Bing hesitated for a while, then smiled and said, "You really have so many tricks...that's all, it's up to you."

The two tied their horses to the foot of the mountain and walked up the mountain and into the forest on foot in the dark.

In the past six years, although the mountains and forests are still as they are in memory, many details have changed.I don't know when, the deserted mountain path was paved with bluestone slabs. Although the road surface was potholed and uneven, there were still places to stay on the left and right.

Shen Yan stepped on the bluestone road and said with a sigh: "I still remember when Hongwu 24, here is a wild hillside, the road is narrow and steep. I am not good at riding, and I fell off the horse. Later, I heard that Because of your travel note, this place became a tourist attraction, I thought it was a joke. I didn’t expect that the road was actually paved, which is also interesting.”

Xie Ling said with a smile: "The literati in the capital love to look for the wonders that have been written in the articles, I guess this is what they created...Speaking of it, do you still remember where the cave we used to escape from the wind and snow was? "

Shen Bing stopped and raised his eyes to look left and right.The moonlight is hazy tonight, and the vision is not very good. The forest is pitch black, and the shadows of the trees are full of shadows. I can't see anything clearly.In addition, it was six years ago, and the two of them hurriedly walked against the wind and snow on that snowy night, and they didn't know their way at all. Now all the memories are a little fuzzy.

"Which direction should it be?" Shen Yan pointed to the mountain hesitantly, and sighed, "Who remembers this?"

Xie Ling smiled mysteriously: "Of course I remembered."

He took Shen Bin's hand, left the small stone path, and climbed up the nearby hillside.Shen Bing was puzzled, but he had no choice but to follow behind him and walk up.
