Considering that the presence of elders might make the guests feel restrained, Jiang Shu only invited Xie Min to his courtyard this time.

When the boy servant announced the arrival of Xie's ox cart, Jiang Shu was putting charcoal into the stove.

The soup base was just cooked and delivered from the kitchen, and it was steaming after a while on the stove.

Zhitao methodically brought out plates of raw food and placed them on the table, and put the porcelain vase with begonia flowers on the edge of the table as a decoration, and when the servant announced the arrival of the guests, she turned to Jiang Shu and said, "Mr. You go to greet the guests, and let the servants take care of this place."

"Then pay attention to Xiao Wu, don't let him climb up the table."

"The servant knows."

Jiang Shu got up and straightened her clothes, then strode across the threshold and walked towards the back door through the path in the courtyard.

All the way to the back door, Xie Min stepped on the footstool and got out of the car.

It was dusk, and the warm sunset sun fell on the man, covering the snow-white gauze clothes and the white jade crown on his head with a hazy and dazzling golden light.

He was wearing the "Neon Clothes" that he gave him.

Realizing this, Jiang Shu suddenly broke into a smile, and said in a slightly smug tone: "My vision is really good, and this set of clothes is only suitable for Brother Xie."

Xie Min raised his eyes to look at the young man standing under the eaves of the door. The other party was also dressed in white today, with a white hood on his head and silk shoes on his feet. Because the sunlight was blocked by the eaves of the door, his cloud-white clothes were stained with The light gray blue in the evening is just like the moon in the daytime, clear and cold, hazy and beautiful.

Seeing that clear smile as always, Xie Min's gloomy and unhappy mood due to the bumpy road suddenly became brighter. He walked slowly to the eaves of the door, raised his hand and handed out a wooden box carved with fine patterns.

Jiang Shu blinked: "This is?"

"When you come to visit, you will naturally bring a gift."

"Why are you being polite, I didn't bring any presents with me when I went to Xie's Mansion before."

"Just take it as a gift in return for Jiang Yan's gift of this suit of clothes." Xie Yin's tone was flat, without much ups and downs.

"Then thank you brother Xie." Jiang Shu took the gift, turned around and made a "please" gesture: "Let's go, the banquet has already been prepared, and I'm waiting for you to come."

Back in the courtyard, the hot pot is already boiling and bubbling. The spicy pot is mixed with the fresh aroma of the tomato pot.

As soon as Jiang Shu stepped into the house, the kitten rushed over, pawing at his heels and calling.

Jiang Shu picked it up and hugged it in his arms, rubbed its head and said, "Why are you so greedy, Xiao Wu, it's a pity that you can't eat this meal tonight."

"The little raccoon you raised?" Xie Min asked.

"Well, it's called Xiao Wu, and it's a very naughty little cub." After Jiang Shu introduced, he held the cat's paw and waved at Xie Min: "Xiao Wu, come and say hello to Mr. Xie Lang. "

Xiao Wu struggled and turned his head to look at the desk, his eyes were full of desire for food.

Xie Yin looked at the kitten with round eyes, then raised his eyebrows to look at Jiang Shu, thinking to himself that this person and the cat are inexplicably alike.

"Cough, let's not talk about cats. Brother Xie, please sit down. If you delay, the soup will be boiled dry." Seeing that the kitten didn't give him face like this, Jiang Shu was also a little embarrassed, so he simply handed the cat to Zhitao. She took it outside to feed some food.

Seeing the hot pot boiling on the green lacquer table, Xie Yin was puzzled: "Are you eating here?"

"That's right." Jiang Shu went to wash his hands, invited Xie Min to sit down next to the table, and then explained: "The hot pot is eaten in a unique way, it is eaten while rinsing, and the ones next to it are not raw meat and fish. It’s food that needs to be cooked in hot soup.”

Xie Yin nodded, and then found that the structure of the pot in front of him was also very unique: "Is this pot specially designed for this kind of eating?"

"Yes, this is called Yuanyang pot. One pot is divided into two halves, and you can taste two flavors at once." Jiang Shu said, picked up the serving chopsticks and tapped the side of the pot on the left: "The soup base here has pepper and Zanthoxylum bungeanum has a spicy and strong taste, and there is a vegetable called tomato as the base, which tastes sweet and sour, brother Xie can try it all, if you can’t eat spicy food, you can eat this tomato pot.”

Xie Yin listened to his introduction, but most of his thoughts were focused on the name of the pot.

Mandarin Duck Pot...

Although mandarin ducks also refer to brotherly friendship, isn't it too obvious that the two of them are eating together and giving such names to pots and utensils?

Xie Yin raised his head and looked at Jiang Shu, who was mixing the dipping sauce and explaining how to eat it. His heart was really young, and he couldn't hide his thoughts at all.

"I guess you are probably not used to eating at the same table, so you have prepared serving chopsticks and serving spoons. Feel free to use your chopsticks for whatever you want to eat, and don't be restrained." Jiang Shu handed him the dipping ingredients, and then demonstrated how to cook on both sides Put some lamb, fish balls and vegetables in it.

We should eat beef when eating hot pot, but unfortunately, cattle are not animals that can be eaten casually at this time, so we can only prepare more chicken, duck, fish and sheep.

Under his call, Xie Min elegantly picked up a piece of hot mutton from the pot, dipped it in the sauce and put it in his mouth.

The freshly cooked mutton is tender and smooth, not only has no fishy smell, but also has the unique delicious taste of meat, and the more you chew, the more delicious it becomes.

Xie Yin was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect this novel way of eating to be surprisingly good.

"How is it, does it suit your taste?"

"Ah."

"You ate spicy pot, do you think it's spicy?"

Hearing his question, Xie Yin felt the spicy taste belatedly, nodded and said, "Some."

Jiang Shu caught a glimpse of his red lips and persuaded him, "If you can't bear it, eat less spicy pot. The tomato pot here is also delicious."

"Okay." Xie Yin responded, watching Jiang Shu skillfully put vegetables into the pot, and then picked up a thinly sliced ​​mutton and rinsed it in the tomato pot. A strange joy filled my heart.

Jiang Shu saw that he was trying to blanch vegetables, so she taught her experience: "Fish balls and chicken balls need to be cooked for a while, otherwise they will be raw."

"Ah."

"Shrimp can be eaten when it floats, but it will get old after cooking for a long time."

"it is good."

After answering and answering, Xie Yin quickly mastered the way of eating hot pot, and even figured out how long each ingredient should be cooked in the pot.

Jiang Shu also had a great time eating it. Tomatoes and peppers can be seen everywhere in modern times. She didn't think it was special. She didn't eat it for a long time before she realized that these ordinary vegetables are so delicious.

He scooped a spoonful of tomato soup into the bowl, and greeted the guests: "Brother Xie, would you like a bowl of soup? Tomato soup alone tastes very good."

Xie Yin looked up at the tumbling red soup base, and nodded.

Jiang Shu gave him another bowl of soup, and after Xie Min took a sip with a spoon slowly, he asked, "How is it, is it fresh?"

"Ah."

"If you like it, I'll give you a basket of tomatoes when I go back, and ask your cook to make soup for you."

Xie Yin didn't refuse, he roughly realized that the person in front of him probably liked to give things to whomever he admired, and it was Captain Xun before, but now he was replaced by himself.

However, he didn't dislike this way of showing his favor, perhaps because what he gave were some fresh food instead of gold, stone and jade objects. Such gifts always carry a bit of youthful outspokenness.

The time of chatting and eating hot pot always flows very quickly, and the twilight has come to the room, and Zhitao lights a candle.

The lights were dim, and the shadow of a begonia flower was swaying beside the desk.

Most of the dishes on the table were empty, and the last staple food was the mung bean vermicelli produced by Jiang's Farm.

The vermicelli boiled in a tomato pot is soaked in the delicious tomato soup. After a bite of noodles, and a bite of tender and crispy shrimp slippery, it can't be more comfortable.

Xie Yin thought he couldn't eat anymore, but after taking a bite of the vermicelli, he still couldn't hold back and put some more into the bowl.

Hearing Jiang Shu's introduction of mung bean vermicelli, he remembered the situation when the two went to the farm together that day, and asked, "Did you bring this vermicelli back from the farm that day?"

"Yes, and no, I have already eaten what I brought last time, and this is a new one." Jiang Shu explained, and immediately advertised himself: "I asked the steward to open a mung bean vermicelli workshop in the farm. In a few days, this item will be on sale in my Jiang Family Grain Shop, and brother Xie must remember to support it."

"nature."

After eating the vermicelli in the pot, both of them were so full that they couldn't even drink water.

Due to physical reasons, Xie Yin has always had a poor appetite. This was the first time he ate so much in one meal. He was surprised to see so many empty plates on the table.

Jiang Shu handed him a silk handkerchief for wiping his mouth, and when he met Xie Min's gaze, he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, is your life extension pill expiring soon?"

Xie Yin nodded slightly.

"Then I'll bring you one later, but I only have one right now, and the remaining two will be sent to your house next time."

After exchanging tomatoes, Jiang Shu has no points and can only take out one now.

"Don't worry, the effect of green pill is longer than ten days."

"Yes, how long?"

"About eleven or two days."

Jiang Shu didn't make much difference when he heard it, so he persuaded: "Then take it as soon as possible, if the effect of the medicine is not enough and something goes wrong, it will be bad."

Because Xie Yin died of illness before Xunyang was breached in the original text, Jiang Shu was very worried that if the medicine was not continued, the other party would die directly.

He frowned slightly when he said this, Xie Min noticed the worry in his brows, and inexplicably felt that the silk handkerchief with a little scent of osmanthus in his hand became hot.

·

After eating and taking medicine, Jiang Shu sent the guests to the door, and also sent a basket of tomatoes.

The twilight is all together, and the moon is half hidden and half exposed among the floating clouds, shedding a cool light.

Before parting, one stood under the eaves of the door, and the other stood beside the carriage frame, looking at each other through the hazy night.

The driver put the tomato on the ox cart, and Jiang Shu reminded: "This dish can't be stored for a few days, brother Xie remembers to make it in the kitchen as soon as possible after taking it back."

Xie Yin stared at him intently, and responded lightly.

Seeing that he was still standing there, Jiang Shu thought for a while and said, "Then let's meet again at another day?"

Xie Yin suddenly smiled, and replied: "Okay."

·

After sending Xie Yin off, Jiang Shu returned to his residence.

The dinner plates and pots on the desk have been removed, and there is an exquisite wooden box next to the crabapple flowers.

Seeing the wooden box, Jiang Shu remembered that there was such a gift.

He picked up the wooden box and opened it, and when he saw what was inside, he was speechless.

Inside is a piece of mutton fat jade pendant carved with auspicious clouds and white cranes. The jade is delicate and moist, white as fat, not much worse than his jade cicada.

Is it the joy of being friends with rich people to give away priceless jade ornaments casually?
