The autumn weather is crisp and the sky is clear.
Rong Xi personally stirred the food with a spoon, put it in the food box, and took the box to Gao Bo's house.
They lived in the same town, not far from each other. When Rong Xi arrived, the tofu soup was still steaming.
Gao Boyan is nearly 50 years old and has bad teeth. He can only eat soft and sticky food on weekdays, which is tasteless. This tofu soup is just right for him.
Seeing Rong Xi coming, Gao Bo deliberately put on a serious face and asked, "Have you finished reading the book?"
Rong Xi smiled, put the food box on the table, and replied: "I have read it once, but it will take some time to understand its meaning."
Seeing Gao Bo's expression eased a little, he opened the food box and said, "Master, why did you come here today? It's for this dish."
He brought out the tofu soup, which was a mixture of milky white tofu and lean meat. The soup was thick, light and elegant in color, and salty and fragrant in taste.
Gao Bo usually likes salty food, but because of his old age, he cannot eat too strong a food, so he forces himself to eat light meals.
But tofu soup is light, yet salty and fragrant. The tofu and minced meat are both very soft and melt in the mouth. It seems that it was tailor-made for him.
"What is this?"
He scooped up a mouthful and tasted it, then was immediately amazed and asked.
Rong Xi smiled and replied, "These are the new dishes from Jinshixuan. When I saw them, I felt that they were suitable for you, so I brought them here for you to taste."
Gao Bo couldn't help but take another sip.
"If you think it's good, I'll send it to you every day."
Although the two are not master and disciple, Gao Bo's protectiveness is a kind of care from an elder that Rong Xi has never felt before.
In my previous life, my parents were always busy and rarely came home. After the Wei Dynasty, the Liu family's ancestors and grandchildren respected him.
Hu Yulin and Jiang Weiping were close friends and respected and admired him.
Only Gao Bo regarded himself as a junior. Even though he mistakenly thought he was stupid, he did not show any disgust or dislike for him. Instead, he was very caring towards him.
Rong Xi was deeply moved by such friendship.
When Gao Bo heard this, he looked up and saw his sincere smile and gentle eyes. He felt very relieved and secretly praised his affectionate and righteous character.
However, he said, "Although the soup is delicious, you should not be greedy. Besides, you are alone here and have little income. The dishes in Jinshixuan are expensive and difficult to buy, so don't bother."
Rong Xi smiled: "Master, don't worry. This soup is not expensive, why should you ..."
"No need." Gao Bo refused directly, puffing his beard and glaring, "Just study hard. If I want to eat, I will buy it myself. Why do I need you?"
The tone was unfriendly, but every word was spoken with Rong Xi's best interest in mind.
Rong Xi smiled, "Why listen to what the Master said?"
The two chatted for a while, and then Rong Xi left his house and went to Jinshixuan in the county town.
After seeing Duan Changjin, he said, "If a servant of Master Gao comes to buy tofu soup, the price should be reduced by 70%. This matter is known only to you and me, and no one else or Master Gao's family should know about it. The reduced money will be deducted from my profit."
Although Gao Bo taught in the town school, his name was known to everyone in Mengshan County.
Upon hearing this, Duan Changjin immediately waved his hands and said, "Dalang is really being polite. I also respect Master Gao. If you don't want to reduce it by 70%, 100% is fine."
The two of them tried to refuse each other, but Duan Changjin couldn't win over Rong Xi and sighed, "I will keep Dalang's words in mind and will not let anyone else know."
After expressing his gratitude, Rong Xi was about to leave for Hu's house.
Inadvertently, the corner of his eye was captured by a person and he paused for a moment.
Chen Dalang's appearance is truly unforgettable and will be engraved in your heart once you see him.
As he paused, Chen Dalang's gaze turned towards him. Their eyes met and they were both stunned for a moment. When Duan Changjin asked him, Rong Xifang came back to his senses.
He smiled and replied, "I suddenly met an old friend."
After he finished speaking, he walked to the window, saw Chen Dalang and the other two, and bowed and said, "Chen Langjun, Brother Chen."
Seeing the remaining young man's face was shocked, although he felt that he looked familiar, he could not remember who he was, so he asked, "May I ask who this young man is?"
Chen Chuangu was so surprised to see him that he stood up and said with a smile, "Da Lang, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much."
"Rong Xi?" The young man couldn't believe it.
How could Rong Xi be familiar with Aye and Uncle Chen? And he doesn't seem to recognize his own appearance? Still calling Aye "Chen Langjun"?
Chen Dalang was kneeling by the window, with a natural noble air and a graceful figure like the clouds and the moon. Just a faint smile made the whole hall bright.
"You really don't know him?" Chen Dalang's eyes were sharp.
Chen Chuangu was also a little confused.
They asked Liang Siwen, and the rumor that Rong Xi wanted to force her was indeed true. But now looking at Rong Dalang, he seems not to recognize Liang Siwen, which is really strange.
Seeing that they had strange expressions, especially the young man, with shame, anger, and embarrassment in his eyes, Rong Xi's heart shuddered.
Memories quickly burst into my mind, the picture flashed by, and suddenly the face of the young man in front of me met my face.
He was stunned for a moment, then bowed and said apologetically, "I apologize for offending you before. Please forgive me, young master."
This young man's name is Liang Siwen, and he is one of the protagonists of this book.
If it weren't for today's meeting, Rong Xi would have long forgotten that he was in the world of books. The original body was punished for forcing Liang Siwen and was sent to Linxi by Minister Rong.
However, forcing things is not the original intention.
His sincere apology left Liang Siwen at a loss. Chen Dalang looked at Rong Xi's attitude and felt that it didn't seem fake, so he couldn't help but frown slightly.
Chen Chuangu sighed: "Maybe there is a misunderstanding between Dalang and Siwen?"
At this moment, the shop servant came with a tray. Duan Changjin had ordered him to do so. He smiled brightly and said, "The shopkeeper said that since the three gentlemen are friends of Rong, he will host the banquet. I hope you will not mind the simple dishes."
Chen Dalang and Chen Chuangu had already seen Rong Xi's skills, so seeing what was on the plate was no longer new to them.
However, when Liang Siwen first saw the dish and saw its color, his appetite was aroused. When he smelled its flavor, his Adam's apple rolled. He no longer cared about Rong Xi's presence and, after getting Chen Dalang's permission, he picked up his chopsticks and tasted it.
As soon as you enter, you feel like you are in the clouds.
I felt disdainful last night, but today I feel that even a palace banquet is far inferior to this.
Jinshixuan is truly worthy of its name.
Captivated by the delicious food, the young boy Liang had forgotten all about the elegance of aristocratic family. Besides, he was a martial artist, so he was not particular about details and ate happily.
"Thank the shopkeeper for us." Chen Chuangu said to the shop servant.
The servant smiled and left.
Rong Xi was invited to take a seat and sat opposite Liang Siwen. Seeing the little boy immersed in the food was quite cute, but thinking about what would happen to him in the future, I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.
Although he was looking at the young man, his eyes were clear without the slightest hint of intimacy. Chen Chuangu felt relieved and felt that there must be a misunderstanding.
He hinted at Chen Dalang, but Chen Dalang continued to taste the dishes. However, he put down his chopsticks after just a few breaths.
"The dishes don't match?" Chen Chuangu asked.
Upon hearing this, Liang Siwen also raised his head and looked at Chen Dalang.
"Not hungry." Chen Dalang replied indifferently.
Rong Xi had lived with him for more than ten days and knew that he was picky about words. Seeing him like this, he said, "Since we are old friends again, if Mr. Chen is free tomorrow, Xi would like to host the party at Rong's house. Please come and show your kindness."
He knew Liang Siwen's identity, that he was the adopted son of Prince Qin.
Being able to travel with the adopted son of Prince Qin and be in charge of things, the identity of this Chen Dalang must not be underestimated.
Rong Xi did not want to pry into other people's privacy, nor did he care about other people's identities. Since Chen Dalang had been kind enough to give him the jade, he should return the favor.
Chen Dalang's expression eased when he heard this, and he smiled at the corners of his eyes, "It's my good fortune."
Liang Siwen was even more confused, "Aye?"
Why did Aye and Uncle Chen treat Rong Xi so politely when they knew that Rong Xi had bullied him?
He had no complaints, he was just curious.
Rong Xi was sipping tea when he heard the two words from Liang Siwen's mouth. He almost spit out the tea. Fortunately, he managed to control it, but he choked and felt dizzy, with his face flushed.
From the first time they met, Rong Dalang had always been generous, polite, dignified and reserved, and had never lost his composure like this.
Chen Dalang's eyes softened and the smile in his eyes grew deeper.
Chen Chuangu felt sorry for him and patted him on the back, "Dalang, be careful when drinking water."
"Thank you for your concern, Brother Chen." Rong Xi replied, wiping the water stains from the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.
Liang Siwen also stopped eating and looked at him. He saw that his eyes were red from coughing and he was about to cry. For some reason, he put aside his previous prejudice and said softly, "Be careful."
The protagonist Liang Siwen is indeed kind-hearted.
Rong Xi smiled slightly, his eyes were very gentle, "Thank you, young master."
Liang Siwen seemed to be embarrassed and annoyed. He snorted and lowered his head to eat.
Upon learning that Chen Dalang was actually the famous Prince of Qin, Rong Xi lost his composure for a moment, but then his heart gradually calmed down.
But no one expected that the Prince of Qin, who was known as Yama Luo, would be so young and handsome.
"I have something to do, so I won't disturb Mr. Chen, Brother Chen, and Mr. Liang from having a meal. I'll take my leave."
He already knew Chen Dalang's identity, so he realized that he had come to Mengshan County in private and must have important business to attend to.
Qin Ke nodded coldly. Chen Chuangu felt a little reluctant, but when he thought about going to Rong's house for dinner tomorrow, he was very excited.
Only Liang Siwen enjoyed the meal to his heart's content.
After Rong Xi left, the shop servant brought another dish to the table.
Not only Qin Ke and his two companions, but also the other diners in the hall were amazed and asked what the new dish was.
The shop servant patiently explained, and seeing the diners' astonished expressions, he felt a sense of satisfaction.
The name of tofu became popular instantly and spread widely in the city.
Chen Chuangu scooped it with a spoon and saw it trembling and seemed to fall apart, so he swallowed it in one gulp. He immediately felt it was tender, smooth and refreshing, and praised it again and again.
“Fresh! Tender! Delicious!”
Liang Siwen was speechless.
Qin Ke took just one bite and didn't move his chopsticks again.
"Why don't you eat?" Chen Chuangu asked in surprise.
Qin Ke glanced at him and said, "I'm not hungry."
Tomorrow Rong Dalang will be the chef himself, so he will save some space to enjoy the meal slowly.
Chen Chuangu and Liang Siwen, not knowing what he was thinking, finished the whole plate of tofu and ate until they were so full that they could not bear it any longer.
After returning to the inn, Qin Ke suddenly asked Liang Siwen: "Why did Rong Dalang bully you?"
Chen Chuangu rolled his eyes. What kind of words are these? Although Rong Dalang doesn't seem like a pervert, he can't ask the victim like this, right?
"Aye, I heard that he likes male homosexuality." Liang Siwen blushed a little.
He felt that he was not handsome and was more masculine than the young male prostitute. He didn't know why Rong Dalang would force himself on him.
"Before this, have you two ever met?"
Qin Ke was certainly not shooting in the dark, he believed in his intuition.
Liang Siwen thought for a moment and whispered, "No."
Although it cannot be ruled out that Rong Xi was tempted by her beauty, most coincidences in the world are man-made.
"After returning to Beijing, investigate this matter thoroughly."
Qin Ke was usually indifferent, but he suddenly cared about this kind of thing. Liang Siwen thought that he cared about him, and he felt a little excited and couldn't help but smile.
"Um!"
After Rong Xi left Jinshixuan, he went to Hu's house and met Hu Yulin.
"Da Lang, look."
Hu Yulin placed the two objects on the table and unfolded the drawing.
There were two things on the table, and Rong Xi was extremely delighted when he saw them. One is potato, the other is corn, both are delicious and sweet grain crops!
"Brother Xuanshi, very good! Very good!"
It was rare to see him so excited, and Hu Yulin couldn't help but be infected by him and laughed out loud with him.
