Siheyuan: The Ambition of Sanzang

Chapter 313

After listening to her man's introduction of Zhou Xiaobai's life experience, Jingru looked at her differently now, she was a little timid, and she was no longer as straightforward as before, and said cautiously: "Cousin, please drink tea. ,eat dessert."

Zhou Xiaobai watched Jingru's expression change, hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand, and grabbed her hand with both hands, "Sister-in-law, please don't do this. My mother gave birth to a daughter of mine,
I don't have any brothers or sisters. Since I was a child, I have envied other girls to have an older brother to take care of me, and I also hope that I can have an older brother.After seeing my cousin today, I feel very cordial,

I also hope that you will treat me as your own sister in the future, and don't pay attention to these things. I still like your bright and cheerful appearance just now. "

"This..." Jingru turned her head to look at her man again, with a questioning look in her eyes.

Sanzang nodded, touched his wife's jade hand, and said with a smile: "I just heard Xiaobai, they are both my own sisters, and she also longs for family affection. It's not good for you to talk about these empty etiquettes everywhere. Naturally, everyone will feel comfortable and happy." .”

"Hey! I listen to you." Jingru understood, then turned her head to Zhou Xiaobai and said, "Sister, let me tell you the truth, I was tired and uncomfortable talking to you like that just now, it's better to be like this." After speaking, he giggled lightly.

Zhou Xiaobai was also infected by Jingru's unaffected smile, no longer restrained, took her hand and asked Sanzang something in a low voice, and the two whispered about it, laughing from time to time.

Sanzang was a bit bored when he couldn't get in the conversation, so he sat upright and turned around, only to find that Xiao Dai was sitting on the sofa opposite him, holding two needles and learning how to knit with Jingru's sister-in-law Liu Yuzhi.

Looking at a small piece of fabric full of holes under her needle, she picked it up and asked her in English with a smile, "Xiao Dai, what are you knitting?"

"Scarf, it's getting cold, I want to knit a scarf for uncle."

"Well, the weaving is very good." Sanzang really couldn't comment, so he had to say perfunctorily.

"Where is there? I'm not good enough at knitting, so I have to keep working hard." Xiaodai shook her head.

Sanzang was taken aback for a moment, hey, the little beauty from another city has learned to be modest, and remembered the matter of Zhu Wen, the head of the workers' song and dance troupe, "Xiao Dai, do you want to learn to dance?"

"What kind of dance are you dancing?"

"It's the song and dance show we watched this morning. The head of the show has taken a fancy to you and wants to invite you to learn dancing. How about it? Are you interested?"

"The elder sisters there dance very well. I've never learned it before. Can I do it?" Xiao Dai thought for a while and asked very unconfidently.

"No problem, someone will teach you. You can start with a small role and slowly accumulate experience. Maybe you will become a big hit in the future, and you can also be on the stage of Broadway." Sanzang tried his best to fool, As long as Xiaodai doesn't want to learn how to shoot a gun, she can do whatever she wants.

"Can I really do it?" Xiao Dai started to fantasize after listening to it, and she also knew the names of Broadway.

"No problem, you can do it, you are the brightest star in the night sky." Sanzang clenched his right fist and said to Xiaodai with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll try it, but before I go, I have to knit this scarf." Xiaodai looked at the fabric in her hand, reluctant to give it up. This is a loving gift she gave to her uncle.

"Okay." Sanzang didn't care, as long as he fooled him properly.

At this time, He Daqing walked in slowly, "Boss, I heard from Xiaomei that there are guests at home, what is the order for dinner?"

"Today, there are distinguished guests staying for dinner. You can make some simple and easy-to-make Tan family dishes, so that the distinguished guests can try something new."

"Understood." He Daqing didn't say much, just uttered two words and went out.

Sanzang saw that Xiaobai was chatting enthusiastically with his daughter-in-law, and he had no intention of visiting the courtyard house. He felt that he was bored, and after drinking some wine at noon, he felt a little sleepy, so he simply ran back to the bedroom to sleep.

In the evening, when the lights came on, Sanzang sat at the head of the long table in the dining room, Zhou Xiaobai sat at the upper right seat, his daughter-in-law Jingru sat at the upper left seat, and the children and Xiao Dai sat in their usual positions. Sophora japonica was not there, so we went back to Luogu South Lane and her Go home with her mother.

Zhou Xiaobai looked at the table full of dishes, dumbfounded, and counted them carefully. There were as many as ten dishes. Fortunately, the portion of each dish was not much, and it was almost enough for the few of us to eat, but there were a few dishes. I have never seen it myself, and I can't even name it.

Seeing Zhou Xiaobai's surprised look, Sanzang smiled and said, "I'm in a hurry today, and I can't cook a lot of dishes, so I just eat a little."

"Cousin, you are too extravagant. These dishes are simple. I have never seen several of them, let alone eaten them." Zhou Xiaobai shook his head.

"Okay, let me give you a brief introduction. These few you haven't seen are jellyfish in clear soup, braised Jibin abalone, and grilled daguan ginseng. These few you have probably seen are shrimp, wild rice stem, and steamed mandarin fish. ,

Crispy duck with scallops, stewed white fungus, and pearl soup may have different recipes and tastes. I don’t need to introduce these two vegetables. After Sanzang finished speaking, he picked up the serving chopsticks in front of him,
Put some vegetables into Zhou Xiaobai's bowl, "Come on, try this Kansai ginseng, I bought it from Dongwa. Daughter-in-law, children, let's start."

Half an hour later, in the living room, Sanzang poured a cup of Longjing tea and handed it to Zhou Xiaobai, "One sack of food, one scoop of drink, is my cousin full? Isn't she full?"

Zhou Xiaobai took the teacup and giggled, "If you're full, if you're full, if you're not full, then I'll be a rich man?"

"What do you think of the food tonight? Can you get used to it?"

"It's very good. It's really delicious. I still have a lot of aftertaste. To be honest, I have seen a lot of things in the world, but I have never eaten such a delicious dish. I also know the name of Tanjia cuisine." I’ve heard of it, but I’ve never seen it before, and I’ve tasted it today.”

"Today is too late. In a few days, I will ask Uncle He to make full preparations, and then I will treat you to a few different Tan family dishes." Sanzang said with a smile.

"Okay." Zhou Xiaobai felt that Brother Huang looked at him very kindly, like a family member, so he stopped being polite to him.

"Sit down! Let's rest for a while, and I'll take you home."

"Hey, cousin, I think your chef is not ordinary, where did you find it?"

"He also has a story." Sanzang told Zhou Xiaobai all about He Daqing.

"First, he was involuntary, and then he didn't know people well, and he was greedy for small gains. It's sad and lamentable." Zhou Xiaobai sighed after hearing this.

"Forget it, these are all personal tragedies in the old society, and we don't need to grieve for them here."

"Too."

Sanzang looked at his watch, "It's getting late, I'll drive you back."

"Okay."

More than ten minutes later, Sanzang had just driven his car to the door of Zhou Xiaobai's single-family villa. The tall soldier who had looked for him in the morning came over and saluted him, "The boss's wife has ordered you to meet me when you come back." See her in the living room."

Sanzang was a little puzzled, hadn't the matter been discussed clearly, could it be that he blamed himself for sending Zhou Xiaobai back too late?It's not quite like, "Okay, I'll park the car first."

Zhou Xiaobai was also at a loss when he heard this.

Sanzang followed Zhou Xiaobai into the living room of her house. Only Mother Zhou was sitting on the sofa with a book in her hand. She was looking at herself and Zhou Xiaobai with a smile at the moment, and pointed to the sofa opposite her, "Little Huang, come, sit here. Xiaobai, go and pour Xiao Huang a cup of tea."

"Eh!"

Sanzang sat down on the sofa, looked at Zhou's mother suspiciously, "I don't know what Auntie wants from me?"

　thank you very much!
