Xie Xun was angry.
To be precise, Jiang Shuyao felt that Xie Xun was angry.
Although Xie Xun used to have a coffin face, after getting along for a long time, Jiang Shuyao could still see his emotions hidden under his paralyzed face.
He, who was accustomed to eating and drinking, deliberately avoided himself, and Jiang Shuyao could feel it no matter how big his heart was.
She threw the iron spoon into the iron pot and turned to look at the empty side.
In the past, Xie Xun always stood by and watched her cooking without saying a word. It was a habit. Now that he is not watching, she can't even cook well.
"Meow~" The little orange cat probed at the threshold, rubbed it back and forth, looking at Jiang Shuyao begging for food.
Jiang Shuyao was startled, it was terrible! How could she see Xie Xun's shadow on such a cute and cute cat's face? !
Thinking of Xie Xun hiding from her, Jiang Shuyao was very upset. As for why she was upset, she didn't think about it carefully.
She called the maids in and told them to take out all the prepared ingredients and put them on the table in the yard.
A thick layer of wood was placed on the table, a charcoal stove for special barbecue was placed, a shallow frying pan was placed, and the barbecue was ready for action.
Jiang Shuyao looked up at the sky, guessing that Xie Xun should come back.
Some time ago, Xie Xun would come back early every day if he could come back early, and he would never miss any opportunity to eat dinner. If he was lucky, he could even get into the small kitchen to watch Jiang Shuyao cook and reap the simple happiness of today. A few days later, he came back late, and he didn't even come over for dinner.
It's not that Jiang Shuyao is short of his helper who cleans the table, but it's just that it's weird that he lacks someone.
As the sun was setting, Jiang Shuyao instructed the maid to put charcoal in the stove.
The iron pan slowly heated up, and she picked up a piece of marinated pork belly and placed it on the iron plate.
"Shuh-" The pork belly dipped in sauce touched the iron plate, and the oil smoke instantly rose. After a few seconds, the meat was fragrant.
The step of marinating the barbecue is very important, and chili sauce, soy sauce, sweet and sour wine, etc. are essential. If you like the fragrance of garlic, add more garlic paste; if you like sweet and spicy flavor, you can add more sugar and sweet noodle sauce; if you like the fragrance of sauce, add a few more spoons of soybean paste and soy sauce.
The white porcelain plate is neatly placed on the table, with pork belly in different colors such as dark red, reddish brown, sauce, etc., and a large bowl with eggplant slices next to it. There are only two ingredients, meat and eggplant, but it is Gives a very rich illusion.
The barbecue dipping sauce is divided into sauce and powder. The sauce tastes fresh and salty and slightly sweet, while the powder pays more attention to a fragrant word, mainly sesame powder and crushed peanuts. The pork belly is covered with dry powder, which is called a satisfaction.
Jiang Shuyao used chopsticks neatly, and filled the iron plate with pork belly.
The pork belly trembled under the high-temperature frying, the fat was turned into oil, and the aroma of the meat was scattered all over the courtyard.
"Meow~" The little orange cat appeared out of nowhere, begging for food.
Jiang Shuyao's eyes fell on it, paused for a while, and subconsciously looked at the door of the Moon Cave.
＊
Fragrant, so fragrant.
Xie Xun smelled the smell. The route that was going to go directly into the study turned a corner and walked uncontrollably towards the Moon Cave Gate.
Why is it so fragrant? The last time Jiang's lo-mei was cooked, it was only fragrant outside the small kitchen, and it didn't even spread across most of the yard.
Xie Xun suddenly felt uncomfortably hungry and couldn't help but start spinning in place.
In the past few days, he didn't clear his mind, didn't know how to face Jiang Shuyao, so he deliberately avoided her.
He was angry that he had neglected her, as the bride, and that he couldn't even think of a way to make up for it now. No matter how calm and smart he was in the past, when he ran into love, he was blinded painfully.
Xie Xun could not wait to rummage through the miscellaneous books about Fengyue in the capital. Every day, he went to the bookstore to linger. He was so frightened that Lin Cheng thought he was in a daze, and put some grandfather's hand from his own cultivator in his teacup. The talisman that was pulled out was finally chased by Xie Xun and ran around the East Palace three times.
There was a strong thought in Xie Xun's heart to warn himself: Don't go to her in front of you when you don't know how to face her!
It's a pity that this strong thought did not outweigh the appetite, Xie Xun quietly probed at the door of the Moon Cave - secretly observing.
Jiang Shuyao stared at the Moon Cave Gate for a long time, and caught him at a glance.
Four eyes met, there was silence in the air, Xie Xun stiffened.
"Meow!" The little orange cat passed by the Moon Cave Gate after eating, and pressed its ears disdainfully, hehe, it's this strange two-legged beast again.
Jiang Shuyao looked at Xie Xun with a half-smile but not a smile, Xie Xun clenched his hands behind his back and walked towards her pretending to be natural.
"Is it worth it?" Jiang Shuyao asked.
"Yeah." Xie Xun nodded, trying hard not to look at the barbecue.
"Have you eaten dinner yet?" Jiang Shuyao said, "Are you busy lately, you haven't made it to dinner every time."
Why didn't he catch up, it was obviously Xie Xun who avoided her and didn't come to eat.
"No."
"Then go wash your hands and eat a piece."
Xie Xun gave up the struggle, cleaned his hands and sat down opposite her, hesitatingly said, "I don't think I will be so busy in the future."
"Exactly, it's a bit boring to eat dinner alone." She turned the barbecue.
The grilled meat that was placed just now has been grilled, and the edges of the thin slices are slightly burnt, and the thick slices are also grilled with a lot of oil.
Jiang Shuyao pushed the plate in front of Xie Xun: "Do you like these flavors?"
Xie Xun rolled his Adam's apple, picked up a piece of barbecue, dipped it in dry ingredients and put it in his mouth.
The barbecued meat is relatively lightly marinated, mainly to remove the fishy smell and increase the freshness.
The fat part of the meat is crispy on the surface and melts in the mouth. The lean part of the meat is oily on the outside and tender on the inside. With the chopped sesame noodles and peanuts on the surface of the barbecue, it tastes delicious.
Take another piece of dipping sauce. The sauce is slightly salty, which covers the oil and gas of the pork belly. It is salty, sweet and spicy. When chewing the pork belly, the gravy and oily water are also dyed with the aroma of the sauce, which instantly awakens the taste buds.
If you eat it without dipping, it is also extremely delicious. You eat the original meat flavor. The edges of the hot pork belly are charred, and the oily juice splashes when you chew. scattered.
Jiang Shuyao pounced on a layer of eggplant slices at the right time, the eggplant slices absorbed oil, and the oil was absorbed by three strokes and five divisions. Oil scent.
After eating a few bites of barbecue, you can drink a cool sour plum soup, which is sweet and slightly sour to relieve tiredness and relieve heat.
Xie Xun ate happily. Since Jiang Shuyao got married, he completely understood the charm of pig meat.
It's a pity that Jiang Shuyao didn't prepare much pork belly. Xie Xun had just passed his mouth addiction, and the plate was empty before his stomach was full.
Jiang Shuyao explained: "It's not good to eat too greasy."
Xie Xun wanted to refute, but in the end he could only obediently say "um".
Jiang Shuyao called his servants to clean up, and walked away with a teacup containing sour plum soup, smelling of oil, ready to go back to the house to change clothes and take a bath.
Xie Xun looked at her back, then at the messy dining table, frowning regretfully.
After eating, the courage also came up.
Xie Xun rushed back to the study in a hurry, took the hairpin box and ran quickly to the east wing.
He was almost at the door of the east wing, and stopped again.
Standing at the large open carved window, he happened to see Jiang Shuyao walking around looking for something in the house.
Xie Xun's brain suddenly became hot, standing outside the carved window, and called Jiang Shuyao.
Jiang Shuyao raised his head and looked at the door. He couldn't find anyone. He was wondering when Xie Xun said, "Come here."
She looked towards the place where the voice came, and saw Xie Xun standing outside the carved window with a sullen face, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Is something wrong?" Jiang Shuyao was confused, walked over and said, "Come in and tell me if you have something."
"No need." Xie Xun's voice was tight.
He didn't dare to look at Jiang Shuyao, his eyes fell on her head: "After we won the dragon boat rowing on the Dragon Boat Festival that day, we were rewarded by the saints, do you remember?"
Jiang Shuyao nodded.
"At that time, Concubine Lin also rewarded some."
This Jiang Shuyao didn't know, she asked, "So what?"
"Hmm." Xie Xun pursed his lips, "Well, she said that the saint rewarded us, and she rewarded our family members." Xie Xun strived to be realistic and did not let go of any details.
Jiang Shuyao couldn't wait for the key point after listening for a long time, and Liu eyebrows stood upright: "Then?"
"Then she rewarded me with a golden hairpin, no, it should have rewarded you with a golden hairpin, and rewarded you in the name of rewarding my wife, and she is your aunt, giving you jewelry is not for my face. Come on, it's not about me exactly, just because I'm the winner—"
"Say, heavy, point!" Jiang Shuyao gritted his teeth, unable to bear to interrupt him.
What about the flower of Gao Ling, or the quiet and taciturn? Who is this stubborn talker in front of me
Xie Xun was interrupted by her, his face became more tense, and his cold facial features became more alienated, as if he was angry.
There was a half-person-high flower stand in front of the window, with delicate and beautiful vases on it. Xie Xun suddenly reached in and quickly put something on the flower stand.
Jiang Shuyao was even more confused, looked at the flower stand, and saw an exquisite hairpin box.
Although she didn't understand why Xie Xun was mad, she still knew that this was the golden hairpin rewarded by Concubine Lin Gui.
Picking up the heavy one, I opened the hairpin box, and I saw a gorgeous and intricate parallel gold hairpin, exquisite workmanship and brilliance.
She raised her head to look at Xie Xun, but before she could see his face, Xie Xun slammed the window shut with a snap.
Jiang Shuyao looked sluggish.
The sunset light was soft, shining Xie Xun's figure on the window paper, creating a warm shadow.
"That's it." Across the window, his voice was not as clear as before.
Jiang Shuyao picked up the golden hairpin, stared at Bing Dilian with the head of the hairpin for two seconds, and then realized the meaning of Bing Dilian.
Wait... So Xie Xun is shy
She walked to the carved window and tried to open the window, but found that Xie Xun was desperately pressing the window to prevent her from opening it.
"You—" Jiang Shuyao tried his best, but he couldn't match Xie Xun
baffling!
She was angry, confused and funny: "Xie Boyuan! What are you doing!"
"It's nothing." Xie Xun's voice was stern, "I just give you the hairpin."
At the end, he stiffly added: "Concubine Lin gave it to you."
The voice fell, and the strength of pressing the carved window disappeared.
Jiang Shuyao pushed the window open at once, and the people outside the window had already disappeared.
She stood silently in front of the window, holding the hairpin box in her hand, and after a long while, she complained, "What about it?"
She looked down at the golden hairpin, and Tilian, the love of husband and wife, a hundred years of friendship, and forever tied together.
The apex of her heart was inexplicably itchy, she snapped back to her senses, her cheeks were hot, and she slammed the window shut.
