Gu Shaoshuai's happy life

The back kitchen where all the guests came was full of oily smoke, and a group of cooks were holding the handles of the pot and frying, and the aroma was reeking of the delicious smell of chicken, duck and fish.

"Come, come, try this distiller's lees." A strong man wearing a white apron dipped some distiller's lees in his chopsticks and leaned over to suck the little ball sitting on the stove, "How does it taste?"

The sweet distiller's grains are not offensive at all, and the sweet little ball tied in a small bellyband keeps smirking, "It's delicious! Daddy's cooking is the best!"

The man was dizzy from the sweet voice of this milky voice, and he picked up the little ball and let him sit on his shoulders, "Tonight, Daddy will bring this buckle back to drink, and I will give you a taste too." !"

"Daddy, I want to eat the glutinous rice siu mai you made~" Xiao Yuanqiu was a little afraid of heights, but still pulled the man's hair with a smile, "The golden pumpkin balls from last time were also delicious, and the crab roe dumplings! "

"All right, all right! I'll do it for you!" The man grinned and agreed, thinking that the hand of the little ball is also quite strong, and the little fleshy hand of a two- or three-year-old child hurts every time he grabs it.

"Hey, I said Dabei. I told you not to bring Qiuqiu into the back kitchen. It smells like oily smoke. You can see how he will find a wife in the future." Yuanqiu was hugged tightly in his arms and padded, "This ball is heavy again."

"Yeah, after two years of raising it, you can go to the slaughterhouse and buy a good price." The man frightened the little round ball heartlessly, and the little guy trembled.

Aunt Cao stepped forward and spat, "Look at you, the child is scared, that father is as indifferent as you, Qiuqiu is good, your father has a bad mouth, let's beat him!"

The man grabbed the little meaty hand and rubbed it in his hand, "Auntie, take the little ball out first, I still have a table of dishes to serve here, and I have to be busy for a while."

Aunt Cao put a cage of buns for Xiao Yuanqiu, and walked out holding Xiaoyuanqiu. Xiaoyuanqiu lay on Aunt Cao's shoulder, looking at the man with dark eyes, and the man who watched was watery Yes, this child is really pleasing, and it is so sticky that it hurts.

The man stretched his waist, stretched his arms and legs, and the little apprentice at the side stepped forward and asked, "Master, is the pot on?"

The man nodded, picked up a large spoon and poured a layer of oil into the pot, and the flames burst into flames instantly, "Ha!" The man roared and vigorously stir-fried.

"How's the weather today?!" the man asked.

"Spring is warm and flowers are blooming!" Five or six cooks beside him agreed.

"How do you feel today?!" the man asked again.

"Facing the sea!" The five or six cooks beside him continued to answer.

The man swiped a spoon and poured the tender fried pork liver into the plate. The oil was steaming, and it looked fat, tender and full of taste!

"You're full of energy! Good job!" The man's big white teeth were exposed, and the sunlight almost made his eyes blink.

No one in the world knows his past anymore, this wolf with a big tail has put on his old sheep's clothing again, waiting for the little sheep of his life in the peaceful years.

Now Gu Shangbei, throwing away the shackles with one hand behind his back, is waiting for his Ye Li.

I only hope that they can start over without any barriers at that time.

Ye Li, I have been waiting for you here for five years, and I don't know how many five years I can wait for you again...

·

After Ye Li returned to China, he wanted to quickly familiarize himself with the follow-up affairs, but was dragged by Du Cangrong to eat everywhere. He only ate at Zhongke last night, and was dragged here again today.

"Let me tell you Ye Li, the chef didn't seem to have a master spoon yesterday. You didn't taste the taste of his dishes. I booked a table early today. Let's try something new together." Du Cangrong gave Ye Li While pouring wine, he chattered.

Ye Li also had the right to relax and go out to eat a few meals. Of course he knew what Du Cangrong was thinking, and asked with a smile: "Have you invited the cook for the wedding yet?"

Hearing this, Du Cangrong took a sip of his wine, pointed at Ye Li with a smile, "You are so exquisite! Let me tell you, this cook is so proud. I heard that the proprietress here personally invites him to the battle. To save face, he cooks here, he doesn’t go anywhere, it’s useless for anyone to invite him! I’m surprised, how could he be invited to Ye Zheng’s wedding at that time? This cook took the wrong medicine ? I guess I drank too much!"

"Since it's difficult to invite, just ask at another house, don't waste time."

"It's not urgent. My marriage can't be settled for a month. I just want to try it again today to see if it's worth my visit." Du Cangrong was radiant all day long because he was going to get married. Huanfa grinned and couldn't put it down, "The food will be here soon, the hype I'm talking about here is useless, I still want you to taste it, you have a tricky mouth, help me judge!"

Ye Li smiled and said nothing. In fact, his mouth has not been so tricky these years. Basically, he can eat whatever he has, as long as it is not too bad, but he will still miss the food made by that person. The deliciousness in memory is no longer just a taste perception.

After a while, the young servants who came from all the guests brought two big dishes on the plate. Ye Li looked at the sugar hoof in front of him and was startled. different."

Du Cangrong put a piece into his mouth and praised repeatedly, "It's oily but not greasy, fat and delicious! It's delicious!"

Ye Li sandwiched a piece and put it in the bowl. The soft touch seemed familiar. Ye Li laughed at himself for caring about these subtleties, but he missed them even more inadvertently—the seven-year separation enlarged those details invisibly, When he was lonely, Ye Li seemed to be shrouded in the memory of the past. What time gave him was never forgetting, but an unforgettable sting.

He missed Gu Shangbei, missed Gu Shangbei very much.

In the dead of night, this empty thought seemed to erode him, making him unable to let himself go. Over the years, he spent too much effort to bury that fragility deep in his heart.

"Ye Li?" Du Cangrong sensed something was wrong with Ye Li and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Ye Li smiled helplessly, with the loneliness of the vicissitudes of life, "Speaking of this sugar hoof, I have eaten Gu Shangbei's cooking, I'm afraid no one is more to my liking than his cooking..." But he said The moment he put the meat into his mouth, he was silent, Ye Li's eyes were full of disbelief, his lips trembled slightly, and he couldn't utter a single syllable.

Du Cangrong watched Ye Li lower his head silently, his scattered hair covered the emotions in his eyes, such a 35-year-old man, who has gone through the ups and downs of the world, seems to be all the suffering in the world, if there is still If there is one thing that makes him so vulnerable, then it must be the deepest yearning.

"Ye Li, you already knew..." Knowing that Gu Shangbei had already disappeared in the crowd, knowing that the vast crowd might disappear in this lifetime.

Ye Li raised his head with reddened eyes, "Even if I am not in China, I will always pay attention to these things, there will always be rumors..."

"I don't know how the cook's dim sum is. Let's order and try it." Ye Li called the servant and ordered a glutinous rice siu mai and golden pumpkin balls. His eyes were full of anticipation. "Cang Rong, maybe because it's Gu Shangbei, I really believe in the fate in God's will..."

Some people, you will still meet what you should meet, it has nothing to do with the rush of people and the vastness of the world.

·

The alleys at night were damp due to the drizzle just now, and the moss in the corners clinged to the gray stone walls, exuding a muddy and green smell.

Gu Shangbei still put the little ball around his neck, the little ball was still a little frightened by Gu Shangbei's height, grabbed his father's hair, and would not let go, Gu Shangbei seemed very silent along the way, little Yuanqiu didn't know what happened, and felt that his father must be upset, because when he usually walked on this road, he would always talk about it with a playful smile, and he couldn't see the sky.

Sometimes Xiaoyuanqiu is a little afraid of his father. He seems to be angry when he purses his lips, but that is just Xiaoyuanqiu's cognition. There are not many things in his world, so he still doesn't know what love is. , What is missing, he doesn't know that every dish Gu Shangbei cooks is missing the person he once was, and he doesn't know that Gu Shangbei is looking for that person in the most stupid way.

Gu Shangbei didn't know where Ye Li was, so he stayed in the place where Ye Li grew up, making his culinary skills famous far and wide. He hoped that one day Ye Li would taste the original taste and know that Gu Shangbei was still waiting where he was. He, day after day, year after year, sticks to his original love and looks forward to staying together in the future.

"Daddy?" Little Yuanqiu called out childishly, with grievance in her tone.

"Hey, don't talk."

Gu Shangbei was listening to the footsteps behind him. The steady and regular steps seemed to break all his loneliness.

He never knew that he could be so familiar with a person, even after seven years, he suddenly felt the moment the other person stepped into his life again.

It's you.

Gu Shangbei suddenly stood still, and the steps behind him stopped abruptly. He turned around slowly, revealing a more mature and profound face under the dim light.

"Ye Li."
