Half an hour passed quickly, and the entire kitchen was filled with a strong aroma and a discordant sniffing sound.
Tang Doudou, who was cutting green onions, smiled and looked at the old village chief who was leaning on the wooden post. A hint of mischief flashed in his watery eyes. He picked up the fried pork liver from the side of the pot and looked at it with a sly look. He ran to the old village chief.
The fragrant pork liver swayed leisurely in front of the old village chief, and the village chief's nose seemed to be pulled, following the plate, left and right, back and forth, up and down. During the process, the village chief kept his eyes closed, but he smashed it. His mouth never stopped, and the intoxicated look on his face was so familiar to Tang Doudou.
A standard foodie expression!
After smiling evilly for a few times, he moved the plate away. The old village chief couldn't smell the smell anymore, and immediately said dissatisfiedly: "Girl, after teasing the old man enough, you should give him some benefits, right?"
After saying that, he opened his eyes and looked at Tang Doudou in a flattering manner, "Can't you tell, this little girl's cooking skills are so good, which master taught her her?"
The old village chief's fawning look made Tang Doudou's nose sore. She thought of her grandfather.
Grandpa would have this expression every time he smelled the food she cooked.
But she would never see her grandfather again.
Grandpa is so old, but she came to this distant world. It’s hard to imagine what life will be like for grandpa after she leaves. She is such an unfilial granddaughter!
The more she thought about it, she couldn't help but want to burst into tears. Her little face looked aggrieved and sad, and the old village chief suddenly panicked. This girl was not doing well just now, so why did she show such an expression
Could it be that what he said was wrong
"Oh, why are you crying, little girl?" Just when I felt that I was wrong, I saw huge tears falling from Tang Doudou's eyes and falling to the ground.
Tang Doudou wiped her tears, but the more she wiped away the tears, her vision gradually became blurred. She sobbed and looked at the kind old village chief, "Grandpa Village Chief, I'm fine. I just, just, when I see Grandpa Village Chief, I just... Reminds me of my grandpa..."
"I miss my grandpa and go back often. There's nothing to cry about!" The old village chief put the vegetable plate in her hand next to her and took out a clean handkerchief to wipe her tears. "Ah, don't cry. Such a good girl, it doesn't look good when she cries. If you have time, go back and take a look. Young people have many things to do, and the old people won't blame you."
The more the old village chief comforted her, the more Tang Doudou cried. She also wanted to go back to see her grandpa!
But she can't go back.
"I, I know grandpa won't blame me, he loves me so much, but, I can't go back now, and I can never go back, wuwu... Grandpa, I miss grandpa so much..." Tang Doudou hugged her The old village chief in front of him said, "Grandpa, village chief, I will never see my grandpa again."
The old village chief had lived a lifetime and immediately understood that this matter was not simple. Maybe this girl's grandfather had already...
Thinking of this, he gently patted Tang Doudou on the shoulder and comforted him, "Girl, be good, just let me cry. If girl doesn't dislike the old man, she can call him grandpa from now on. It just so happens that my grandchildren are not coming back either." …”
"Grandpa, the village chief..."
Tang Doudou wiped her tears and looked up at the melancholy face of the old village chief. The old village chief laughed and patted her shoulder, "Why does this girl dislike me?"
The old village chief's appearance began to overlap with the appearance of his grandfather in his memory. Tang Doudou's eyes filled with tears and he subconsciously shouted: "Grandpa."
"Hey!" The village chief immediately responded cheerfully, and then couldn't help but patted Tang Doudou on the shoulder again, "Good granddaughter."
Seeing the village chief's beaming face, Tang Doudou seemed to also see his grandfather's smiling face, and the tears that had stopped showed signs of bursting again.
"Ouch, this girl is really a crybaby." The village chief was immediately at a loss.
"Grandpa." Tang Doudou didn't say anything else, just looked at the old village chief and called again.
The old village chief looked at the girl with distress, and could see that she was really sad, very sad, just like the feeling he had when he thought of his dead children and grandchildren every night, with a... He blamed himself a little, sighed, and said, "Hey!"
Tang Doudou pursed his lips, tears still falling, "Grandpa!"
"Eh!"
"grandfather!"
"Eh!"
"Grandpa!" Tang Doudou burst into tears as she rushed into the old village chief's arms. The old village chief looked so much like her grandpa, even his conniving tone was exactly the same, which finally made her emotions burst out. , crying in the arms of the village chief, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances and sadness he had felt here.
The village chief didn't know what the child had gone through and how she could cry so heartbrokenly, so he could only let her cry hard. As long as she cried, he felt relieved.
In fact, Tang Doudou didn't cry for too long. When he was tired from crying, he stopped crying after crying enough.
When she slowly stopped crying and looked up at the village chief.
The village chief said amusedly: "Why, the crybaby has had enough crying so quickly?"
"Uh..." Tang Doudou glared at him in shame, "I'm not a crybaby."
This was the first time since she got here that she cried so sadly and hysterically. No matter what sad and sad things happened to her, she would only shed tears instead of bursting into tears like this.
"Okay, if my dear granddaughter says no, then it's not!" The village chief laughed so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits, "Good girl, are you hungry from crying?"
After saying that, his eyes turned to the steaming big steamer in the pot, "What kind of dish is that of yours? Stuffing chicken into the pork belly. This is the first time this old man has heard of it."
Speaking of this dish, Tang Doudou became energetic again and explained to him, "The name of this dish is Phoenix Reincarnation, which means the whole chicken means Phoenix, and the pig belly is the embryo. It is said that a long time ago, a certain emperor There was a concubine who contracted stomach ailments after giving birth to a prince, and became increasingly weak. After seeing many imperial doctors, the concubine's stomach ailments could not be cured. Later, an imperial physician created a dish of his own, called 'Phoenix Reincarnation'. It is flavored with various spices and herbs, making it a warming and delicious dish.”
"Phoenix reincarnation?" The old village chief chewed on the name of the dish over and over again, and the more he thought about it, the more interesting it became.
"Girl, to tell you the truth, old man, I am quite proficient in this cooking skill, but I have never heard of this phoenix reincarnation..." The village chief hesitated for a while. In fact, he had been pretending to sleep just now, squinting. He looked at the way she cooked, and it was really not something he was familiar with.
"Haha, maybe it's a specialty of our place!" Tang Doudou said with a smile. After all, they are two worlds and two civilizations. It is normal for them to have nothing in common.
"That should be the case." The village chief stroked his long beard, "Who taught you your cooking skills, girl?"
Speaking of this, Tang Doudou suddenly became depressed again, but she had finished venting her tears just now, so she was just a little depressed, and it wasn't like she would be sad if she mentioned it, "Grandpa taught me this."
"Your grandfather?"
"Well, my grandpa and I have been dependent on each other since I was a child. Grandpa taught me cooking and how to read and write..." Tang Doudou sighed. She missed her grandpa, but she could only express her longing to the village elder.
The disciple he taught has good cooking skills at such a young age, so he should not be an unknown person.
The old village chief felt itchy in his heart. As he got older, his desire to win became stronger. He couldn't suppress his curiosity, "Ahem, girl, can you tell me your grandfather's name?" ?Where is home?"
Tang Doudou was not surprised. When she was cooking just now, she discovered that Youdao's inquisitive eyes had been following the movements of her men. Coupled with the village chief's kitchen full of complete things, it was impossible to guess that this village was probably A certain chef is hiding here.
It was precisely because of his behavior that she missed her grandpa more and more, and she couldn't help but want to get close to him.
However, she still looked around, and when she saw no one was coming, she said, "My grandfather's name is Tang Yu, and he lives in a small town in Jianghuai."
The first sentence was okay, but in the second sentence she saw question marks popping up in the village chief's eyes, "Jianghuai? Is there such a place name?"
Tang Doudou pursed his lips and smiled, but did not tell him that it was a place name from another time and space. "It is just a small and remote place. It is normal if you have never heard of it."
"Girl, I know how to talk nonsense. Although the world is big, I have never been to Tian Weishi anywhere in my life. I have never heard of Jianghuai." The village chief thought she was talking nonsense and immediately glared at her.
If Tang Doudou often listens to anecdotes about the world, he will definitely know the name of Tianwei. This person was named the divine chef. When he was young, he traveled all over the world with one pot and had superb cooking skills. However, he later died. Knowing who he had offended, after he left home, hundreds of members of his family were killed and the whole family was wiped out.
He returned home and was so angry that his hair turned gray overnight. He searched for the murderer for twenty years without finding out who the murderer was, so he disappeared in the world with hatred.
Some people speculated that he also encountered an accident and died with hatred. Some people also guessed that he lived in seclusion. In short, he has not been seen in the world for many years.
It turns out that he became a leisurely village chief in this mountain village.
Tang Doudou stuck out his tongue, feeling that Tian Weishi was just talking big words and didn't take it seriously at all, "Grandpa, you're just talking nonsense. Some people can't walk beyond a few mountains in their entire life. How can they travel all over the world? Even if they have traveled all over the land, There are also islands, and there is land on the other side of the sea.”
"Which side of the sea?" Tian Weishi murmured, "You mentioned Jianghuai, is it on the other side of the sea?"
Looking at him like this, he seemed to yearn for Jiang Huai, or maybe his grandfather, so Tang Doudou shook his head, feeling helpless.
"Girl, let me ask you one last question, your grandfather..."
Tang Doudou understood what he meant, but she couldn't go back. If Tian Weishi wanted to go to his grandfather to learn some cooking skills, he might not be able to do so in this life. "My grandfather is still here, but the place in our hometown is a There is no way in or out, and once I come out from somewhere, I can never go back.”
"Then why did you come out?" I don't know if Tian Weishi listened to her words, but the curiosity in his eyes did not weaken at all.
She doesn't want to come either, but...
"Grandpa kicked me out because he thought I ate too much at home, haha..."
