They didn't stay together for dinner at night, but the daughter-in-law of the aunt's family made a special trip to deliver food to Mr. Lu's family next door. In addition, Yu Jinnian wanted a plate of spicy peppers and two heads of ginger and garlic, so he also delivered two dishes to them along the way. One of them is fried pork mushroom.
There is nothing unusual about this dish when it is served. It is thickly shredded meat mushrooms mixed with current vegetables and stir-fried together with bean paste. It looks not too different from ordinary vegetarian fried mushrooms, but the taste is indeed similar. Shredded pork is just not as strong as real meat, but it tastes delicious. For them, it is already a "mountain delicacy".
The little lady smiled and said: "If the food is good, I will fry another portion before coming here. It was the first time Mr. Lu ate this meat mushroom just now. He was very happy, and he was talking about taking some back when he left tomorrow! This meat Mushrooms, it’s better to pick them and eat them now, I’ll get up early tomorrow and dig some in the forest behind, if you want them too, young master, I’ll pick more along the way.”
With such a set of greetings, Yu Jinnian accepted the ginger and garlic, put away the dishes, thanked her with the money, and sent her out of the hospital.
After returning, he lifted the lid of the small stove on the table, and a faint smell of meat wafted out. It was the hare that Duan Ming had brought back. This rabbit is scalded and shaved, washed clean, white and tender. Although it is not a fat rabbit at the beginning of spring, it is more than enough for him and Ji Hong. At this time, the rabbit It has been cooked in a small stove for a while, and the heat is just right, and the meat is tender and tender.
Shi Xing was on the sidelines, peeling the garlic cloves brought by the little lady. He naturally knew Yu Jinnian's craftsmanship, so as soon as the pot was opened, he immediately poked his head over to have a look. He couldn't help being disappointed when he saw what was inside, and said strangely: " ... Boiled rabbit in white water? What kind of way is this to eat."
Yu Jinnian fished out the cooked rabbit, soaked it in cold water, put it on a large plate and started slicing it: "I wanted to make spicy rabbit shreds, so if I can't finish it, I can take it with me on the road to satisfy my hunger. But the conditions here are really poor, so I can't make a big fuss." Oil, so I have to settle for the next best thing, and make a rabbit dipped in water to eat."
Ji Hong reached out to peel the garlic cloves, but Yu Jinnian snatched it back and threw it to Shi Xing. He said quietly, "We won't peel this. I smell this garlic, the old garlic that has survived the winter, and peeling it is very difficult."
Shi Xing sniffed his fingers, and his eyes immediately hurt: "..."
So you have to throw it to me
Ji Hong smiled, put down the garlic consciously, and obediently stood on the sidelines, watching the boy neatly stack the slices of rabbit meat on the empty plate, he seemed to be an expert at cutting meat, with a few sharp knives, he could always avoid the big and small meat. For all the rabbit bones, only the white and tender rabbit meat is on the plate.
Shi Xing painstakingly peeled a few cloves of garlic, and according to the young master's request, cut the garlic into garlic paste, divided each into several small saucers, and cut a few shreds of ginger into it. After realizing it, I found that the nails were burning.
Yu Jinnian made a sauce dish with soy sauce, salt, and the farm’s special pepper powder sent by the little lady, and mixed it with minced garlic and shredded ginger that Shi Xing had cut just now. disc".
A few dishes were set up and was about to eat when Shi Xing was still washing his hands outside. Yu Jinnian was quite conscientious, poured a bowl of vinegar into the yard and shouted: "Oh, brother Shi, I can fight with the Jiang family's hot hands." Xiaobawang can’t forgive me! Come here, soak your fingers in vinegar before washing them, and they won’t hurt anymore.”
Shi Xing walked in with an aggrieved face, took the jealousy and muttered: "I knew that this kind of good deed of being courteous would not come to Duan Laowu. It turned out that the young master deliberately wanted to laugh at me."
Yu Jinnian tilted his head and smiled, telling him to take a plate of rabbit meat back to eat.
Ji Hong also said: "Only you have a sharp tongue."
Shi Xing still felt wronged: "A while ago, my subordinate taught me how to make a small bag with pincers. At that time, you still thought I was stupid and couldn't explain the process. Why did you say that my subordinate is too quick-spoken today?"
If he was half as stable as Duan Ming, he wouldn't be with Jiang Bingren's little overlord flower. Hearing that Shi Xing brought up this issue in front of Yu Jinnian again, it was obvious that he intentionally let his master know. Ji Hong threw a teacup over and reprimanded with a half-truthy smile: "Talk too much, go on."
Shi Xing took the teacup right in the middle, let out a groan in pain, took the rabbit meat that Yu Jinnian rewarded him, and ran out with a smile, knowing that he would close the door for them before he left.
The sky was getting dark, and when the door was closed, the room was a little darker, and the two remaining people sat around three or two dishes, looked at each other and smiled, and Yu Jinnian didn't continue to mention the small bag with pincers to embarrass Mr. Ji , so he picked up the chopsticks and gave Ji Hong a dish.
"Taste the rabbit meat, it's just tender. Dip it into this dish."
A thin mouthful of fresh and tender rabbit meat, thick meat mushrooms with rich sauce, and a bowl of fragrant, glutinous and healthy green rice. Although they are all rough, there are no precious ingredients, and they are useless What a rare seasoning, but it was this meal full of rural pastoral flavor that made the two of them feel a bit of warmth during the tiring journey.
In the courtyard are a few flower trees that have not been taken care of for many years. They do not know what they are called. They are full of sparse yellow and white flowers, which grow wantonly, and you can see them when you open the window. A few petals of broken flowers came in with the evening wind, and fell on the sauce dish in front of Yu Jinnian, causing a small wave of "ripples". Although the carriage was handled softly and delicately by Ji Hong, it was not as good as this down-to-earth feeling, he sighed for a moment, and said nonsense: "Look, people say that flowers are half blooming, wine is half full, and life is half idle. I have both the front and the back, and the only thing missing is this pot of good wine... "
Ji Hong deliberately said with a straight face: "You have become a drunkard at such a young age."
Yu Jinnian refused: "I'm so young, look at my aunt's son, he's not as old as you, but he has already given birth to a big carrot head. If I wasn't delayed by you, it would be too late! For the sake of delaying me, why don't you allow me to have two sips of wine? Besides, who benefits from my drink?"
Ji Hong opened his mouth, intending to argue with him, but after listening to Yu Jinnian finish the last sentence, he realized that he had been teased. Although the facts were so, he not only benefited, but also enjoyed it, but he still struggled with the last bit of literati reserve in his heart, and finally held on to the last weak lower limit that was pulled down before being led astray by Yu Jinnian.
It is said that he is a little monster who came down the mountain to seduce people, but there is nothing wrong with it.
In fact, Ji Hong has figured out his little habit of drinking, and he has prepared a wine gourd long ago. He just wants to stop his mouth quickly so as not to make him stop talking suddenly, so he quickly touches it out from behind, and in the Yu Jinnian tapped lightly on the forehead: "Your mouth always has endless crooked truths. I think Shi Xing and the others were all led to ruin by you."
Yu Jinnian happily held the wine gourd, but he confessed it: "There is no way, just follow the example!"
Ji Hong really couldn't laugh or cry.
There was wine and meat, and the meal wasn't too shabby, but Ji Hong didn't touch his chopsticks, and all the food went into Yu Jinnian's stomach. In the second half of the meal, the rabbit didn't finish eating, so it simply put the bone and meat back into the stove to cook slowly. Although this rabbit meat is also good for nourishing the middle and Qi, it is cold in nature, and it is not suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach. Eat too much in one sitting.
According to his own taste, Yu Jinnian added a little salt and soy sauce, poured a cup of wine to enhance freshness, and then ate the remaining pieces of meat mushrooms while scooping rabbit broth from the small stove while it was still hot When he came to drink, he did not forget to serve Ji Hongsheng a small bowl, while he himself sat down across from him, took a sip of the wine, and admired the way he drank the soup slowly.
The flames in the stove were burning hot, roasting the people next to him. Ji Hong was born with a little foreign blood, white as porcelain jade, and when the temperature rose, the entire exposed skin turned into a delicate pink, which looked like It was much more delicate than usual, but before it could make people feel delicate and charming, it was firmly suppressed by the man's sharp eyebrows.
Yu Jinnian was sitting crookedly on the couch, with one foot under his body and the other dangling playfully on the edge of the couch. He rested his chin on one hand, squinted his eyes to look at Ji Hong, feeling dizzy He suddenly remembered a line of poetry, saying, "A beautiful woman should be like this, Mingyue's previous life is unknown." After reading it twice, Ji Hong shook his head and asked with a smile, "Where did the sentence come from?"
"It's Yongmei's..." Yu Jinnian confessed honestly, stood up and was going to go to Ji Hong's side, but before he finished speaking, his eyes twirled in a daze, his feet stumbled, and Ji Hong was almost caught. The eldest son made a big gift on the spot.
Ji Hong's complexion changed suddenly, he hurriedly dropped the bowl, barely supported him, and when he mentioned it like this, Yu Jinnian leaned on him without bones, and said with a smile: "I chanted Mei, I chanted you. "
"Okay, don't drink any more." Smelling the smell of alcohol, Ji Hong helped him stabilize and sat beside him, and he continued to move and move non-stop.
The wine is indeed good wine, but Ji Hong knows Yu Jinnian's drinking capacity well, so he certainly won't be able to get drunk with such a pot, but Yu Jinnian is indeed very excited at the moment, he is very interested in watching everything, and he can dance when he is teased by anyone Get up and have fun - in the past, if you want to drink to this state, you should at least have two more pots.
And I don't know why, this young man never blushed easily when he drank alcohol before, and he was the last one to get down when he had a wine fight with Min Mao on New Year's Eve. , even from the chest up to the neck, a layer of pink stars appeared faintly, as if it had been steamed on a cage rack.
Yu Jinnian leaned his head down on his shoulder, closed his eyes in a daze, and rested for a while, but felt that the smell of alcohol had not dissipated, but was rushing more and more into his blood vessels. He scratched anxiously on the front of his clothes with his fingers, humming Twice.
Ji Hong held his hand sharply and asked him softly what's wrong.
"Uncomfortable." Yu Jinnian murmured, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Thirsty, a little sick..."
Hearing that his breathing was a little rough, Ji Hong hurriedly put his hand on Yu Jinnian's pulse. Although he didn't know medical skills, he at least knew how the young man's heartbeat usually was. There was a knock, as if the heart was about to pop out. After withdrawing his hand, Ji Hong hurriedly got up to get the teacup. In just two steps, Yu Jinnian followed him to stand up.
He subconsciously stretched out his hand, clamped him down, and pressed him on the couch: "Don't move, I'll get it."
Yu Jinnian swallowed and nodded. But when he came back, Yu Jinnian was sweating profusely, his neck was red and hot, and he was retching while holding a wooden basin. Ji Hong rushed forward in three steps at a time, put the tea to his mouth, watched him swallow a few mouthfuls with both hands, rinsed his mouth again, and finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
Ji Hong: "Is there any better?"
Yu Jinnian was silent for a while, but still shook his head, he raised his eyes to look at Ji Hong, and said with a smile: "This wine has such a strong aftertaste... Fortunately, I drank it, if you come to drink it, you don't know how drunk you will be. "
"When is it time to joke around?" Ji Hong's eyes switched back and forth between worry and anxiety. He leaned over and held Yu Jinnian's face to observe carefully, and found that the other's eyes were also terribly red. He suddenly became tense, his brows were extremely low, and he seemed to be on the verge of being at a loss, "Jin Nian, what's wrong with you, how do you feel now?"
The nausea in Yu Jinnian's throat increased sharply, but he didn't want Ji Hong to be too nervous about it, so he took a few deep breaths and said in a mess: "What does it feel like... I'm just too drunk! Well, my head is a little bit, and I can't spit it out. It's okay, just a little bit uncomfortable..." He smiled, wobbled and gestured, "Just a little bit."
Before he finished speaking, he dragged the wooden basin and retched twice.
Ji Hong supported Yu Jinnian with one hand, and said loudly towards the door: "Come here! Duan Ming!"
"Hey... no need..."
Without allowing Yu Jinnian to refuse, Duan Ming came from outside with a knife in hand. His master had never summoned someone in such a hurry, it was as if an assassin had come to the door, so Duan Ming rushed over with full vigilance, who knew As soon as he stepped into the door frame, before he had time to see the situation in the room clearly, Ji Hong firmly ordered: "Call the doctor immediately."
"Ah?" Duan Ming was taken aback, "Doctor? Why are you so bad, even the young master—"
He naturally felt that as long as Yu Jinnian was around, his master would be safe from all kinds of illnesses. How could there be illnesses that even the young master couldn't cure? What's more, if even Young Master Yu can't look down upon him, how can the barefoot doctor in the countryside see the way? Thinking in wonder, Duan Ming looked down at Yu Jinnian, and was suddenly surprised again: "...Little, young master, what's wrong with you?"
Not long after, even Shi Xing rushed in with a group of people, as if he was going to fight with others.
Yu Jinnian waved his hand with difficulty, and said with extreme shame: "It's nothing, it's just a matter of drinking too much, it's uncomfortable to move, just sleep. Don't listen to his fuss, it's gone, just go and rest when it's time to rest."
The moon and stars were thinning outside, he said as he lifted his feet up on the couch, and fell down hugging his knees like that.
"Go and ask the doctor." Ji Hong still ordered like this, his brows were still unmoved. He first bent down to take off the boy's boots, but when he lowered his head, he found that Yu Jinnian was curled up with his hands on his stomach, his expression forbearing, it wasn't his mouth at all. Easy as said above. After thinking about it, he still passed his arms under his armpits and knees, and one of them hugged him up forcefully.
Yu Jinnian screamed in fright, danced and said, "Ah, what are you doing, let me down!"
"Don't move." Ji Hong's arms were sore from his fall, and he almost threw him out. He raised his knee and used his strength to push the boy's buttocks, and then put all his strength into his arms, but he was still stable. He firmly hugged her, "Don't you feel uncomfortable when you move? Hold you to the bed to sleep, this is the window, and you will have a headache when you fall asleep."
Yu Jinnian leaned on him hanging in the air, forgetting about the discomfort under his nervousness, fearing that Ji Hong's arm would go limp and knock him to the ground into a piece of rice cake, so he put his arms around his neck and muttered, "I'm already having a headache now. gone."
Not only did I have a headache, but my heartbeat was a little chaotic.
It wasn't until Ji Hong put him safely on the bed that the discomfort he had accumulated before came back. He vomited for a while holding the basin, and felt that he was going to vomit out his heart, liver and lungs for a while, but he only vomited some undigested food And soup, soup, water, it is really thunder and rain. But after going through so much, he broke out in a sweat, the redness on his neck gradually faded, but his face became even more ugly.
Ji Hong wiped his face with a wet towel, fed him water, turned his head to look at him, frowned and reprimanded lightly: "Why are you still laughing?"
"It's okay." Yu Jinnian pursed his lower lip and grinned, "Just to see you have fun, why are you so nervous, I used to—"
Ji Hong frowned: "Before?"
When I was sick before, I had to find someone to wait on me even turning over to go to the toilet. I didn’t know the taste of oil and salt in my mouth for several months, but I tasted all the medicines on the market that I had never heard of. I lay in the hospital bed every day. I was closer to death than the day before—I had experienced so much pain, and these petty illnesses were nothing.
Yu Jinnian turned around, rubbed against Ji Hong's waist, opened and closed his mouth, and shouted hypocritically: "Ouch, I have a headache!"
He stopped the topic that made him unwilling to look back.
Ji Hong was also easy to deceive, without saying anything, he leaned over and hugged him, slowly rubbing his temples.
When the doctor came, Yu Jinnian began to suspect that he was not drunk.
—
The doctor is a barefoot doctor in the village. People in the village seldom get sick and can't afford to get sick, so he just looks at it on weekdays and gets headaches. The most praised feat is to help the old cow's house next door to give birth to the dystocia ewe. That's right, boy, so when Duan Ming and others came to the door in a hurry, he thought that he had prescribed the wrong medicine and was about to be turned over to the government.
Entering this old house, I saw that all the servants were dressed better than the merchants in the city. The cold sweat on the back of his neck had soaked through his clothes, and his feet were trembling and he wanted to go out. Duan Ming and Shi Xing dragged the man in, and said "Young Master, he's here" in unison, so frightened that the doctor who had never seen the world kowtowed to Ji Hong on the spot.
"..."
There was a chuckle in the distance, Langzhong slowly looked up, and saw a shapeless young man in brocade clothes leaning on the bed with a sallow face, and a serious and cold-faced gentleman sitting beside him. The one with a friendly face was the younger one, who got up from the bed and waved to him: "Get up quickly, sir, I can't bear such a heavy ceremony."
Duan Ming hurriedly came out and explained: "My young master is ill, sir please take a look. Just now we were servants in a hurry and didn't make it clear. I'm sorry to scare you... Sir please."
"Oh, oh." The doctor was helped up by Duan Ming in a trance, and after a little politeness, he sat on the side of the bed, took out the pulse pillow and felt Yu Jinnian's pulse.
Ji Hong stood aside with a serious face, as if "I'll be buried with you if you don't like it".
The doctor tremblingly took the pulse, examined the patient, and asked carefully. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, got up and tidied up the medicine box, and said: "The pulse is fast and loud, but it is a sign of heat. Don't worry, my lord. It’s just that I’m not drinking enough, I’m dizzy after eating, and the vomiting is caused by stomach heat. Drink more water today, I don’t think I need to take any extra medicine, I’ll be fine tomorrow after resting overnight.”
Ji Hong immediately said: "He can drink very well, how can he be drunk when he is drunk?"
The doctor gave Ji Hong a strange look, and said earnestly: "When the thousand cups were not drunk and the wine pool was dead, this baby was young and thin, how could he be told to drink so much wine?" He opened the medicine He took out a small medicine bottle from the lower drawer, and when he turned around, he saw some leftovers on the table. He couldn't help saying "Ouch" and said, "Look, look. It's okay to drink too much at a young age, and it's okay to drink too much." Wouldn’t it be uncomfortable to eat something that aids in drinking? This bottle contains some aromatic and anti-evil substances. When you want to vomit, put it under your nose and sniff it. Don’t want to be so indulgent in the future.”
Yu Jinnian covered his mouth and was about to vomit, when he heard Langzhong's words, he felt as if someone had struck a bell on the top of the sky, and with a buzzing sound, the two pulses of Ren and Du were tapped, his eyes lit up, and he jumped up and said, "Mr. thing—”
The doctor hurriedly shouted: "Hey, don't...get up..."
This sudden change from lying down to standing, even a normal person would have to faint three times, not to mention that he was still "drunk", at that moment he couldn't tell who was talking, like the blood in his brain His limbs were washed away like a waterfall, and before he could say the next sentence, he collapsed like a clay figurine soaked in water.
It was just dizziness before, but now it is really dizzy.
It's just that at the moment before he softened, he still knew to open his hand to ask Ji Hong for help. The last feeling when he was conscious was the faint scent of lavender in the man's arms, and the tense muscles on the arms under the clothes, which grabbed him in one go, so that Yu Jinnian could sleep peacefully and avoid Drunk to death on the cold floor.
But he was very lucid in his dream, and he straightened out the matter all at once.
—He said why the meat mushroom looked so familiar!
