Gourmet and actor

What's more, after traveling for about forty hours, the train finally arrived at its destination in the early morning of this day.

Yu Xiaoyue hung on the top bunk and did a pull-up, with the tone of a devil entering the village: "Finally home hahahahaha!"

When he was picking up the luggage, he turned his head and saw Xiao Ke on the opposite side with two dark circles under his eyes, wrapped in a quilt and yawning, as if he wished he could die of sleep, so he rushed over and pushed a few times: "Get up, get up, come back later Go to sleep at home. I told you not to stay up late reading novels, but you won’t listen to them.”

Xiao Ke wiped his face, trying to drive away the sleepy bug.Hearing Yu Xiaoyue's words, he immediately glared at him: that tone seemed like he had done something bad, didn't you let me see it.

He specifically found the four simplified characters of Dadeok Dynasty in the Xinhua dictionary, but even after flipping through the thick history book he bought before boarding the car overnight, he couldn't find the name of the country with the combination of these four characters.

It turned out that in this world, Sun Ce, who was supposed to become the Taizu of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, died young, and even took history to turn a corner, and went in a direction he had never heard of.His country, Taizu Gaozu, mother, queen and brother disappeared from history in such a strange way, as if they had never existed.

After repeatedly flipping through the book to confirm this point, he was suddenly dumbfounded, and regardless of the middle of the night, he woke up Yu Xiaoyue to ask for clarification.

Sleepy-eyed Yu Xiaoyue took his incoherent speech as nightmarish talk, and told him that the theory that different events lead to different futures is called parallel worlds, and the butterfly effect or something.Called up a few related entries on the omniscient network, and searched for a few time-travel novels from the Three Kingdoms period and gave them to him, saying that after reading it, he would understand.

Xiao Ke was serious about what he said casually. During the two nights spent on the train, he only slept four or five hours a day, and the rest of the time he was holding his mobile phone and watching it engrossed.

In the novel, modern people transmigrated as Zhao Yun, subduing civil servants and military generals to kill the Quartet and unify the Three Kingdoms; Chaos, and finally into the arms of the big winner.

Xiao Ke originally thought that this kind of book was similar to "Han Wu Nei Zhuan", that it was a small scholar who had nothing to complain about, and dressed in the skin of obsessing with ancient beauties, but in fact used the past to satirize the present.But looking at it along the way, he was stunned by the plots of tyranny, conspiracy to rebel, support soldiers and self-reliance, etc.

However, when he saw the second book, he was much calmer.Although he has only been in modern times for five days, he can feel how free this era is for ordinary people. The feudal monarchy is no longer suitable for this ever-changing high-tech era. .

After that he was almost numb.Skip the ever-changing plots of political struggles and wars, and only pick the author's understanding of changing the scheduled history.

After reading a few books, he realized that the long river of history has diverged, with his dynasty at one end and modern times at the other end. He is a little shrimp who just walked the wrong river.

No matter where you go, the shrimp will look for food, be careful not to be eaten by big fish.

After thinking about this, Xiao Ke put the history book into his backpack and went to the overcrowded toilet to wipe his face.When the train got to the station, he followed Yu Xiaoyue with his luggage, squeezed out of the platform fence, and said "Hello, Uncle" to the uncle who came to pick him up.

Like his son, Yu's father has a pair of unlined eyebrows, which make his Chinese character face extraordinarily heroic.He had heard from his son that he would bring home an unsuccessful actor friend, so he thought it was a greasy haired noodle dressed as a boy from a hair salon.Unexpectedly, when I saw it face to face, it was completely different, and my eyes immediately brightened.

The young man in front of him was tall and handsome, with a handsome face, especially well-shaped eyebrows, deep and clear, out-and-out sword eyebrows and star eyes, with dimples on one side when he smiled, the sun was shining brightly.

Father Yu immediately forgot the polite words, held Xiao Ke's hand, patted his shoulder, and asked with extra enthusiasm: "Xiao Xiao, didn't you have breakfast, let's go, I will take you to taste the local specialties. "

After talking about carrying Xiao Ke's luggage, he put it in the back seat, turned around and told Yu Xiaoyue: "Sit in the back and let Xiao Xiao take the co-driver, so we can talk."

"Dad..." The corners of Yu Xiaoyue's mouth twitched: "I know you think I'm not as handsome as you when you were young, but you don't have to treat me so differently."

Yu's father was straightforward: "Xiao Xiao is five years younger than you, so you should take care of him more."

"What kind of care is taking the co-pilot..."

"Then what else are you grabbing?"

It turned out that Yu Xiaoyue's character was inherited from his father, and Xiao Ke watched happily from the side.Thinking of the relatives I will never see again, I can't help but feel lost.Fortunately, at the beginning, he thought that his life would not be long, so he had already made preparations to say goodbye to his loved ones, and now he felt a little sad for a while, and it passed.

Yu Xiaoyue has always been eloquent, and with his father Yu who is also talkative, the father and son talked and laughed happily along the way.Xiao Ke added a few words from time to time, taking the opportunity to memorize a lot of common sense.

Yu's father's experience is the epitome of most people born in the 60s. The youth went to the countryside, the middle-aged was laid off, and then he tossed about the business and saved a little money.When I got old, I didn't want to travel outside. It happened that a friend introduced the orchard business. After inquiring about it, I thought it was good, so I contracted it to be an orchard farmer.

He bought the garden from a fellow villager who couldn't take care of him. The fruit trees have been planted for several years, so there is no need to wait for the fruit trees to bloom.According to the agreement, this year's fruit villagers will receive half, and they will receive half.Now that the harvest is almost done, I will send it to the factory when I return to the orchard.

He was inexperienced for the first time, and was afraid that the fruit would spoil if left for a long time, so Yu's father didn't dare to stay in the provincial capital, so he took the two juniors to the county town after eating breakfast.In the evening, I finally climbed the rugged winding mountain road and arrived at the orchard in the mountains.

The car drove through the rusted iron gate and parked under a small three-story building covered with tiles. Two bungalows were built on the bottom floor, one for cooking and the other for storing sundries.A few meters away from the small building is an orchard that can't be seen as far as the eye can see. There are so many oranges hanging on the tops of the lush trees that they are almost crushed.

Seeing a bag of freshly scalded chicken feathers in front of the kitchen, Father Yu said cheerfully: "Knowing that your boy came back, your mother went to the fellow's house overnight and bought two native chickens. The taste makes you eat them until you lick your plate. You can't taste them outside." Eat—Xiao Xiao, can I have a drink? Someone just gave me a bottle of red bayberry wine, it’s delicious but not overpowering, how many cups shall we have tonight?”

Yu Xiaoyue quickly stopped him: "Dad, Xiao Ke's injury is just right, so he can't drink alcohol."

"Oh, I forgot for a while. Then put away this wine first, and Xiao Xiao will recover after a while, let's drink together."

Xiao Ke thanked him with a smile, got out of the car, stretched, and took a deep breath of fresh air.

The fruity and leafy aroma, combined with the slight fishy smell of the soil, is extraordinarily fresh.Coupled with the care of his elders and friends, Xiao Ke suddenly felt a sense of forgetfulness.

After walking a few random steps, Xiao Ke found a small newly turned vegetable field behind the house.Based on his experience of watching the emperor's brothers and sisters-in-law's annual festivals and personally plowing, he can see that the soil quality is good.It's a pity, probably because Yu's family moved here not long ago, they haven't had time to sow seeds yet.On the shelf next to it, there are still a few juicy courgettes hanging - now they are called cucumbers.

Seeing fresh vegetables, Xiao Ke's eyes brightened.These days, he eats out every day, and the heavy oil and heavy sauce has already lost his appetite, and he wants to eat light food in his dreams.Staring greedily at the cucumber for several times, he turned to look for Father Yu, asking if he could add another dish.

At this time, Yu Mu, who temporarily went to a nearby village to make soy sauce, came back.She has a round face, and her facial features can still see the beauty of the past. Her figure is a bit plump, and she is hearty.

The Yu family and his wife have the same aesthetics, but Yu's mother is more straightforward than her husband, so she pulls Xiao Ke and exaggerates.Finally, when I heard that he wanted to eat cucumbers, he immediately said, "I'll get you some cucumbers right now. Xiao Xiao, just tell me what you want to eat in the future, you're welcome."

Xiao Ke responded, and stared at the soy sauce bottle in Yu Mu's hand again.In his previous life, he was physically weak, hunting with eagles and riding horses were forbidden for noble boys, and he didn't even read a lot of books, so he focused on the kitchen.Although I have a healthy body now, but I am used to it, and I want to try new seasonings when I see them.

Under the pretext of helping, Xiao Ke followed Yu's mother into the kitchen.Yu's mother let him go out a few times, and she was in a hurry to cook, so she didn't care.

The local chickens I bought this time were not big, so Yu Mu simply stewed two of them in the morning. Besides the soup, she planned to make cold pepper chicken.

Green peppercorns are indispensable in this dish.Yu Mu chopped the chicken into good pieces, washed the prickly ash with stalks and stalks, put it on a cutting board and cut it into small pieces.The pungent smell made her turn her back and sneezed several times. She wanted to get the paper, but she accidentally knocked down the oil bottle when she reached out.

"Oh, look at me..." Mother Yu was a little embarrassed to make a fool of himself in front of the junior, and decided to send him away, "Xiao Xiao, please help me pour out a plate of soy sauce and send it to the living room."

"Auntie, do you need soy sauce for chicken?"

"Yes."

Xiao Ke frowned quietly when he smelled the pungent smell of green peppercorns just now.I dipped it in soy sauce and tasted it, and found it to be saltier than my previous life.After imagining the taste of the fusion of the two, I just want to eat Xiao Ke with a light taste, and suddenly feel that the sun and the moon are dull.

Back then, a large number of merchants from the Western Regions came to Daedeok with various goods from the Western Regions, and spices became popular. Rich and noble families like to put spices in their dishes and tea to show off their wealth.But it’s too late. The result of this is to cover up the original aroma of the food, leaving only the strong and pungent taste of the spices, which is quite unappetizing.

Because of illness, Xiao Ke liked a light diet that could bring out the original flavor of ingredients to the extreme since childhood.Although from time to time, he will change his taste and eat something heavy, but he has been tormented by eating out with thick sauce and red soup for a few days, and he has just recovered from his injury, so he is not sensitive to it now.

You can't just eat cucumbers for dinner, right?Xiao Xiao struggled for a while, and he said to his mother: "Auntie, can you save some of the chicken for me, I want to make a cucumber stewed chicken."

Cucumber can also braise chicken?Yu's mother suspected that she heard it wrong, or that Xiao Ke ate strange dishes in some unscrupulous restaurant and regarded them as treasures.

She wanted to refuse, but when she saw the dimples on Xiao Ke's slightly pursed lips, she couldn't control her tongue immediately: "Okay, what do you say, I'll do it."

"No, I'll do it myself." In fact, Xiao Ke originally wanted to agree, but before he opened his mouth, he realized that he was just an ordinary person, and he was a guest at a friend's house, so he couldn't be rude, so he quickly changed his words.

Mother Yu looked at him suspiciously. Seeing that he was clumsy when washing cucumbers, splashing water on his chest, she felt that the child had been cheated.Thinking of his son saying that he was working hard outside when he was a teenager, his love suddenly overflowed.

Just about to ask Xiao Ke to put the things down, he saw him holding a knife in one hand and flipping cucumbers in the other.Before I had time to see how the knife was cut, the crisp and easy-to-break melon body had two rows of neatly staggered cuts, which was convenient for the taste, but did not damage the appearance of the ingredients.

Yu's mother has been cooking for most of her life. Except for TV, she has never seen such a smooth knife skill with her own eyes, so she stared straight away.It can be done successfully if she is allowed to cut, but it definitely does not have this speed, and it will take a long time to toss.

This kid looked stupid just now, but now he is so skillful, what's going on?

Xiao Ke didn't know that there was a murmur in Yu's mother's heart, and she only focused on the ingredients at hand.

He took a casserole, put two cucumbers that had been wrapped with a knife into it, took a small pot of chicken nuggets, and put a pinch of salt at the end, and poured half a spoonful of chicken soup and a little chicken oil.The whole process was extremely smooth, but when he put the pot on the gas stove, he encountered a difficulty: "Auntie, how do you start the fire?"

Yu Mu, who was dumbfounded by his series of flowing movements, was dazed: "I want to light the fire like this..."

The boiling hot chicken soup soon boiled again.After silently counting for a few breaths, Xiao Ke tried to turn off the fire: "It's done."

The freshly picked cucumbers are tender and crisp. After a short stewing, the unique refreshing aroma has not diminished but increased. It blends with the strong fresh aroma of the chicken, neutralizing the original greasy feeling and making the fresh ones more fresh.Green itself is a refreshing color, and when it is put together with the bright and yellowish chicken nuggets, it is enough to make people move their index fingers without adding any condiments.

Mother Yu took a deep breath and said involuntarily, "Can I have a piece?"
