"Many of the tourist attractions are nothing special, yet people still flock to them?" Yang Fan was unwilling to return to Jinhai, and Liu Qianqian was very unhappy.
Lian Shisan wanted to see the Nanjing University where Yang Fan had stayed, and Liu Qianqian and Liu Yueyue were no exception.
For no other reason than that he had been there for four years.
Maybe standing downstairs, you can see the study room where he used to sit.
Perhaps through the protective net, you can see his running figure on the playground.
Maybe if you sit in the cafeteria, you can see the table and chair where he sat and ate.
Even though he was there, it wasn't enough.
The complete him should include the figure who had worked hard here for four years.
Some women give birth to children for a man simply for reasons of reproduction, filial piety, etc., and it has nothing to do with love.
But some women are willing to give birth to a child for a man, which is the highest ritual and expression of love.
Liu Qianqian's love for Yang Fan has not reached that level yet, and she always feels that something is missing.
It may be that I have never been to his home or visited the places that have special meaning to him.
"It's a kind of effect. The same product can increase in price after being given a brand name, while other products remain unknown." Yang Fan said: "When people go to those scenic spots later, no matter what they see, they can proudly say, I came, I saw, I conquered!"
Liu Qianqian was still a little unhappy: "I still want to go to Jinhai, I think it's a good place."
"I told you there's nothing to see there." Yang Fan explained patiently. He didn't want Jinhai to disrupt his plans and delay his next trip.
Liu Qianqian complained, "Yang Fan, you always like to impose your will on others. When traveling, you like to see mountains and rivers, but some people like to see ancient buildings and ruins? You like to visit zoos and amusement parks, but some people like to visit museums? You like to see grasslands and snow-capped mountains, but some people like to see tall buildings. Is it that going to see snow-capped mountains and waterfalls is considered traveling, but going to Jinhai is not traveling?"
Liu Yueyue also stood on her sister's side: "Yang Fan, I think you may not like historical and cultural tourist attractions very much, and only like to see natural scenery."
"Not really. I really like cultural landscapes like yours. I never get tired of seeing them. They are purely natural, more natural than natural scenery." Yang Fan said.
Liu Yueyue looked embarrassed: "What nonsense are you talking about again? I'm not a sight."
"Well, you are not a 5A scenic spot, but a 6A beautiful scenery on earth. In fact, when I am with you, I don't have to go anywhere. Just seeing you is enough." Yang Fan held Liu Yueyue's hand.
Liu Yueyue was both shy and happy: "You are making me happy again!"
Liu Qianqian touched her face, thinking that Yang Fan was praising her, so happy!
Yang Fan picked up his phone: "Let's order some takeout for a midnight snack. How about a big burrito?"
Speaking of food, Liu Yueyue and Liu Qianqian immediately lost interest in Jinhai.
“Is the giant burrito authentic?”
“Do I still need to roll the green onions?”
"You can't eat green onions at night."
"Hmm, the taste is too strong. How can I not eat it later?"
The three of them immediately started a heated discussion about this midnight snack, and in the end they wanted to ask Yang Fan to go downstairs and buy some popsicles and ice cream.
Yang Fan refused.
Why are there popsicles and ice cream again? Are they hinting at something
There are only two bedrooms and two beds in the suite, so the two sisters will definitely sleep together tonight.
Yang Fan didn't think that they didn't think about anything else when they booked this room.
I must have thought about it, and then either tacitly or explicitly agreed to keep a certain distance from him.
Therefore, Yang Fan thought that whatever he wanted to happen was impossible.
Now…
Is this a hint
After thinking about it, since both sisters wanted to eat popsicles and ice cream, it couldn't be a hint.
It was impossible for them to both take advantage of Yang Fan and sleep together.
You wish!
After ordering supper, the three of them continued chatting about food while waiting.
The two sisters are foodies, and Yang Fan is actually a foodie too.
However, the two sisters felt that the foodie Yang Fan was not only good at eating, he was also good at painting, calligraphy, poetry and prose, and knew astronomy and geography, and was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Thirteen and the Liu sisters, who were familiar with him, could see that he had a unique eye and could see pearls in chaff and find delicacies in wild vegetables.
If he wasn't so unambitious, Thirteen and the others felt that, besides being a poet, he could also be a politician, a thinker, an astrology fortune teller... a truly all-round talent and a slash youth.
Delicious food is all the same, but interesting souls are one in a million.
Without prejudice, the longer Liu Qianqian interacts with Yang Fan, the more she feels that there are few girls who don't like him.
"Yang Fan, are people who know how to eat all potential stocks?" Liu Qianqian asked.
As she spoke, she picked up her sister's cell phone.
Although the screen was locked, she was able to unlock her sister's phone with her face without any hindrance.
The biggest bug in face recognition technology is that it cannot distinguish between twins, not to mention that the Liu sisters look so similar.
"Do you think you have potential?" Yang Fan asked.
Liu Qianqian pinched Yang Fan's calf with her toes: "I'm talking about men."
"That's not necessarily true. It's more like saying that fat people have potential." Yang Fan said, "Fat people are obese, and the fat supports their facial features and skin all year round, making their facial features and skin tight. Once they lose weight, their contours will be particularly obvious, and their facial features will become very three-dimensional. Regardless of whether they are men or women, good-looking people, in addition to having a small face, have one thing in common in their facial features: three-dimensional."
Liu Yueyue and Liu Qianqian thought about it and realized that it was true.
How come what my boyfriend said was so to the point
Great job!
Liu Qianqian admired her boyfriend more and more and wanted to kiss Yang Fan, but she couldn't do that because her sister was beside her.
The elder sister is too embarrassed to do it, and the younger sister doesn't want to make her unhappy.
It's really torment. When the midnight snack is delivered to the downstairs of the hotel and Yang Fan goes down to get it, should I go down with Yang Fan
If we don’t go down together, it will be difficult to have the chance to be alone with Yang Fan tonight, Liu Qianqian thought.
"Yang Fan, you are the best eater I have ever seen." Liu Qianqian praised.
My mother said that I should praise my boyfriend more, as it will only benefit me and not cause any harm.
"Yeah." Although she was a little jealous that her sister praised her boyfriend in front of her, Liu Yueyue had to agree with her sister.
Yang Fan shook his head: "I'm not great, that's because you don't have much experience. I know someone who is the best eater among poets and the best poet among foodies."
"Who?" Liu Yueyue pouted: "That friend of yours again?"
Yang Fan smiled and said, "Of course not. He is such a powerful person, a big star of an era. I know him, but he doesn't know me."
"Who is that?" Liu Qianqian asked puzzledly.
Yang Fan said with admiration: "His name is Su Shi, and he is the most famous star in the Northern Song Dynasty. He has no idol baggage, and beneath his wealth of knowledge lies a happy and interesting soul."
"Northern Song Dynasty? Su Shi?"
"I don't have any impression of it. Was there a Northern Song Dynasty?"
When staying with Yang Fan, the Liu sisters always felt that they were not well educated and were easily deceived.
"Well, there was a dynasty called the Northern Song Dynasty, and there was a big star called Su Shi." Yang Fan exclaimed: "Even though Su Shi had many setbacks and frustrations throughout his life, he still ate and drank well, and could tell jokes at will. Even if his enemies were in front of him, he could still talk and laugh with them."
Once, Su Dongpo suffered from conjunctivitis, and the doctor told him not to eat spicy food, eat less greasy food, especially meat.
He said: I can not eat, but my mouth won’t agree.
Neither religious beliefs nor doctor's advice could stop Su Dongpo's fighting spirit as a foodie.
He is talented and highly appreciated. Logically, his career should be smooth and he should be promoted rapidly.
But that is not the case.
Maybe it’s just like he said, Capricorns have a hard life.
How to relieve worries
Only delicious food!
Su Shi's career was full of twists and turns. He was either demoted or on the way to being demoted: Huangzhou, Huizhou, Danzhou...
He was demoted to wherever there was poverty.
If it were an official with a more fragile mind, he would have been unable to bear it and would have cried, made a fuss, or even hanged himself. Even the strong ones would most likely sigh and groan all day long.
But Su Shi was an exception, frustrated and desperate
No time!
There are so many delicious foods in foreign places, and he is busy studying how to "eat, eat, eat".
He eats whatever he is demoted to.
Therefore, the miserable years of exile were turned into a "creative journey" of gourmet food by this foodie.
In the second year of Yuanfeng, Su Shi was imprisoned because of the "Wudai Poetry Case", almost lost his head, and was demoted to Huangzhou.
The price of pork in Huangzhou was cheap and people did not eat pork much. Su Dongpo was heartbroken to see the people of Huangzhou wasting such delicious food. He personally studied how to cook braised pork and fully discovered the beauty of this ingredient.
Later, he wrote down the cooking process of "Dongpo Pork" and taught everyone how to cook it together: clean the wok, add a little water, use enough firewood to cook without causing smoke or flame, wait for it to cook by itself and don't rush it, it will be delicious when the fire is enough.
After eating, I went to Chibi Mountain outside Huangzhou City to relax. Thus, the poem "Nian Nujiao: Reminiscence of Chibi" was born:
"The great river flows eastward, the waves wash away all the heroes of the ages. To the west of the old fortress, people say it is the Red Cliff of Zhou Lang in the Three Kingdoms period. The rocks pierce the sky, the waves crash against the shore, and thousands of piles of snow are rolled up. The landscape is picturesque, and there are so many heroes at that time."
"I recall the days when Gongjin was young, Xiao Qiao was just married, and he was handsome and heroic. With a feather fan and a silk scarf, he talked and laughed, and the masts and oars were reduced to ashes. I am wandering in my homeland, and the sentimental people should laugh at me for my early gray hair. Life is like a dream, and I will pour a cup of wine to the moon on the river."
Hearing this, Liu Yueyue and Liu Qianqian widened their eyes.
"Yang Fan, you are making up stories to deceive us again, aren't you?" Liu Qianqian picked up Yang Fan's hand and took a bite.
She knew that she had read fewer books than Yang Fan, but she certainly had read enough to have never heard of a poem like "Nian Nujiao: Remembering the Past at Chibi", as long as it existed in the long river of history and was seen by the world.
"Yang Fan." Liu Yueyue's eyes were full of stars. Whenever her boyfriend was like this, it was his highlight moment and he would charm his little fans to death.
He is always very tactful, does good things without leaving his name, and refuses to acknowledge the good things he has done.
"This was written by someone I know who doesn't know me. It wasn't written by me." Yang Fan's heart surged every time he encountered a poem or a lyric. The poems left by the ancients are so beautiful.
No matter how embarrassing it is, we must spread Chinese poetry and culture.
"Yeah." Liu Yueyue has become accustomed to Yang Fan's words. She just goes along with him and likes any posture.
Liu Qianqian wanted to make a fuss, but was scolded by her sister, and listened obediently to Yang Fan continuing to make up stories.
So, they saw the life of a foodie.
It was like being there, watching him take his family to farm in the wasteland east of Huangzhou city, grow their own food, and even give himself a nickname - Dongpo Jushi, and live a very happy life.
After only a few years of farming, Mr. Dongpo was transferred away. Although it was a promotion, he had no intention of fighting for power. Su Shi, who saw through the darkness of officialdom, only wanted to stay away from the capital and repeatedly requested to be transferred away.
This time, he was demoted to Huizhou, at the age of 57.
Although the Lingnan region is prosperous now, it was an economically backward and impoverished area at that time, especially Huizhou, which was so poor that it was difficult to get meat.
After being stripped of his official position, Su Shi lived an extremely difficult life, but he really wanted to eat meat!
He didn't dare to argue with the powerful, so he thought of a way to get the butcher to sell him the unwanted sheep spine.
Then, he once again used his talent for transforming delicious food.
First boil the lamb bones, then apply some wine and a little salt, and then roast them in the stove. The lamb ribs will be surprisingly crispy and fragrant.
Su Dongpo ate with gusto and said, "It's like eating crab claws. I eat it once every few days and it feels very nutritious."
In addition to roasted lamb bones, he also took a fancy to the Guangdong specialty - lychee, and wrote the famous "A Specialty of Huizhou - Eating Lychees":
"It's spring all year round at the foot of Luofu Mountain, and the oranges and bayberries are in bloom one after another."
"If I can eat 300 lychees a day, I will be willing to live in Lingnan forever."
With litchi, he didn't care about being demoted.
Just when he thought he could spend his old age in Huizhou eating roasted lamb bones and fresh lychees, another transfer order came.
Qiongzhou!
That is a wild and desolate land. In the Song Dynasty, Qiongzhou was a "hellish place" with long droughts and no rain, and the country could not be self-sufficient in food. Even young people could not endure it.
But the 60-year-old Su Shi squatted on the beach, cracking oysters and studying how to eat this new thing.
Later, he actually figured out the following method: one is to cook the oyster meat, pulp, water and wine together; the other is to take out the oyster meat, grill it over the fire, and put it directly into the mouth after it is cooked.
After taking a bite, he felt so satisfied that he could not wait to warn his son: This delicious delicacy must not be known to the ministers in the court, otherwise they will rush to be demoted and come to compete with me for the meal.
This is Su Shi. He always has the ability to turn a "frustrated life" into a "poetic life". Even if there are a thousand setbacks, he also has a thousand ways to deal with them and turn them all into delicious dishes.
"Life is like a journey, and I am just a traveler."
Later, he was finally pardoned, and when he left the island, he said, "I have no regrets even if I die nine times in the southern wilderness. This journey is the most extraordinary in my life."
Throughout history, there are not many celebrities who have become famous for their love of food.
As the most famous foodie, Su Dongpo has countless fans, which has a lot to do with his broad mind that allows him to find joy in spite of suffering.
He is open-minded and does not worry about gains and losses. He comes and goes as fate dictates. After all, nothing in the world can go as one wishes, so he just wants to have a clear conscience.
