Chonghua's national power has risen rapidly in these years, and the restaurants in the imperial capital have sprung up, but Mo Mo led Gu Mang to a restaurant that is obviously old.
Hongye Museum.
This restaurant was one of the few restaurants in the imperial capital of the imperial capital. Only the nobles of the princes went there. But in recent years, the attitude of Hongye Museum has also eased. It is probably felt the competition. This old Hongye has to follow the cheap chicks next to it. The price of vegetables is no longer so aggressive, and ordinary monks can get in. door.
But even so, Lao Hongyi's anger was getting weaker, and at this time it was a meal, but it was still a stunned scene outside the door.
Mo went out into the shop, and Gu Mang followed in step by step. The shopkeeper is a slightly fat and greasy man, surnamed Liu, busy coming to say, "Oh, Xi Hejun, I haven't seen you for a long time, have dinner?"
"In the compartment."
"Good, or the old one?"
Mo paused and said, "Huh."
The shopkeeper Liu invited them into the room at the end of the second floor. The thin curtains made of bamboo were covered with thick woven blankets embroidered with the sun, moon, and stars. Mo Xi still remembers that when he led Gu Mang into this compartment for the first time, Gu Mang followed behind him, shocked by the overwhelming nobility, and half dragged himself with a blue face--first Ask clearly, brother, are you entertaining? Otherwise I can't afford to sell it.
But just like the great light of this restaurant, the shattered gold threads on the woven carpet were all bleak and dusty.
Mo Xi turned over the case, but because of the confused thoughts in his head, he could not see anything. Finally, he "snapped" the delicate dishes embroidered with silk and pushed them to Gu Mang.
"You come."
Gu Mang was still playing with the small bronze medal on his neck ring, and he heard a word: "I don't know the characters."
Mo Xi said: "There is a picture, and there is spiritual power on this silk, you can see the picture."
Gu Mang listened to what he said, and opened the case of the dish, holding it in front of his chest and looking seriously.
"I want this ... this ... and this ..." He held out his finger and poked on the dish, and bit his hand again to point out God, "I'm hungry."
Mo couldn't stop talking, and turned his head to the side without looking at him.
Gu Mang noticed it and asked, "Are you still angry?"
"No."
Gu Mang thought for a while, and suddenly said, "You're important, not angry."
Mo Xi's heart moved, but he was still cold and said coldly: "... Why flatter me, I don't have a sachet for you."
Gu Mang smiled, "But you gave me the necklace."
"..."
If the mood in Mo Xi 's eyes was originally jealousy, then when he said that, jealousy faded away and became a kind of gloom.
He glanced at the black lock ring on Gu Mang's neck, and he could not ignite any more fire.
After all, a major turning point in his life was given to him by Gu Mang, and without Gu Mang of the past, there would be no blackout today.
What else can he regret after leaving the country hatred?
...
Gu Mang extended his hand to him when his family was in trouble. When he was unknown, Gu Mang accompanied him. When he was helpless, Gu Mang laughed and encouraged him.
Gu Mang was kind to him.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine."
"No matter how bad it is, even if your uncle miserable you, you are also a noble. Look at me, I am a slave, I don't worry about it, what do you worry about?"
"If one day you are really run out of your uncle, my house will share half of you and half of your meals, will you?"
"You still have me."
How many things did Gu Mang do for him?
Mo's future is uncertain. When he is very crowded in the army, only Gu Mang will pay attention to his mood and whether he has enough food. Mo Xi's temper was cold and stubborn. At that time, the noble sons who lived with him did not look at him. He felt that he had lost his father in his early years. Now his mother has remarried to other people in spite of the scandal. When he becomes pregnant, Mo Xi's situation must be miserable. Extremely.
They even deliberately gave his grain to the ground.
It was Gu Mang who could not see that the master was bullied, so he always gave him his rations. However, the food of the slave soldiers was not delicious. Gu Mang could see that Mo did not say anything on his mouth, but it was extremely painful to eat.
So he wondered, asking the brothers to lie and swindle some money for two reasons-and then silently buy a few more snacks for the little master, so as to coax the poor and happy.
At that time, people in the army said that Gu Mang was too careless, and his buddies were too indifferent to him.
"The day before yesterday, I said I wanted to buy Jade for Xiaolan. Today I asked for money again and said I wanted to buy Jade for Xiaodie. Hey, this romantic seed."
Gu Mang, then best friend at the time, Lu Zhanxing also said, "Amang, what's the matter with you? I haven't seen you so big before, have you been wild since you came to the army?"
Gu Mang's response was to greet his hand and said, "Brother, give me some reward? I will wash your clothes for a month."
Lu Zhanxing was surprised: "Which girl do you like again?"
Gu Mang said, "The daughter of Wang Laohan in the next village."
"... She's only six years old! You are crazy!"
No one knows the truth.
No one knows that Gu Mang, who is "heartbroken and spends money chasing a girl", actually sneaks into the back kitchen of a small broken restaurant in the nearby city to wash dishes and chopsticks.
Gu Mang used Yi Rongshu and changed his clothes. No one could see that he was a military garrison in the garrison. He was washing piles of soup bowls and rice bowls, and the shopkeeper looked at him so hotly that he looked so hot.
"Lady, see if you just come to me for a long-term job? I'll give you this amount?"
Yi Mang's Gu Mang's eyes are still bright and bright, like the stars all summer night: "Thank you shopkeeper, but I usually have other things to do, I can't get away ..."
"Well, that's a pity." The shopkeeper patted him on the head. "I rarely see you so hard-working young man."
In order to take care of him, his brother Gu was suffering from the unknown and endured to the unknown.
But Mo went out at first and didn't know.
Until later, he saw the blood-stained stationery of the same robe and realized that he admired this man three years older than himself. He braved the wind and snow to find Gu Mang's confession, but there was only Lu Zhanxing in the tent, and Lu Zhanxing told him:
"Gu Mang? Gu Mang was taken to the flower house in the city to play! People don't like young people! Hahaha!"
At that moment Mo Xi only felt that a sap was falling in the head. He slowed for a long time, but still could not restrain his mind, so he rushed to the wind and moon field that Lu Zhanxing said, but he found Gu Mang that A few friends, but did not see Gu Mang alone.
He didn't give up, and there was an unstoppable fire in his chest, and he went to one merchant after another in a small town near the station.
At the end, he met Gu Mang, who was in a "lounge", at the back kitchen of a small restaurant.
Gu Mang changed his mind, and the ink should have been unrecognizable. But at the time, he kept his eyes open, and when Gu Man looked up from the side of the water basin, Mo Xi caught the man's eyes hitting him.
With just one glance, Mo Xi recognized that he was the Gu Shi brother he was looking for.
From hearing the disappointment when "Gu Mang went to the blue building," to seeing the shock of Gu Mang while washing dishes.
Mo Xi's heart at that time was really painful.
Suddenly, he didn't know how to open his heart, and a surge of blood poured into his heart, making him look at Gu Man's eyes hot and hot.
But the so-called madness, and then decline, three exhausted. When he just wanted to confess, he went to the camp and found no one. When he ran to the blue building in anger, possessive desire to pull Gu Mang out, he still could not find this person.
When he really found him, the irrespective eagerness was not so impulsive.
Breathing in the snow, he strode open the fence wooden door, causing the chicks in the backyard of the restaurant to run around, and he walked towards Gu Mang, who knew nothing wrong.
He saw Gu Mang's hand immersed in the water, in the cold weather, in order to prevent the shopkeeper from discovering that he was a monk and could not use spells, Gu Mang had frostbite on his hand.
Mo Xi suddenly blocked his throat, but I don't know what qualifications to say this favorite in his current position, and what qualifications to ask Gu Mangsuo for more.
He silently dragged Gu Mang from the small bench with long eyelashes falling down, and he held Gu Mang's cold fingers.
He held his brother's hand in his palm, rubbed it, and asked softly, do you hurt?
Gu Mang said with a smile but it didn't matter.
"What kind of frostbite is it? The manly husband is rough, so it looks good." Gu Mang scratched his head with his swollen radish hand, grinning to reveal a little tiger tooth, "You brother Gu Mang is the most handsome."
This is too ridiculous, no one will find the two frozen radish fingers handsome.
Gu Mang didn't listen. What he meant was that now that you are in the army, you are in a team with me, and you are my mentor, then I can't let you be wronged.
Mo Xi didn't persuade Gu Mang. He told Gu Mang that Gu Mang had given him too much, but his future was not clear. These kindnesses, he may not be able to return.
Brother Gu, who was just laughing, had snow seeds on his long eyelashes on winter night: "Who wants you to pay it back? Come to my team, my buddy, I have to cover you."
Mo Xi said: "But I ..."
"Don't leave me alone, then if you feel bad, take a scroll and write it down. You write down everything you owe me, and then return it to me at your own advantage." Gu Mang smiled. Rubbing his head, "Oh, my Royal Highness Princess is such a fool."
Mo Xi watched the young and lively smile grow in the light. At that time, he secretly resolved that he would have to return the best to Gu Mang in the future, not only to return, but also to the wonderful treasures and flowers of the world. Give it to him.
He will be with him for a lifetime.
But in the end?
Gu Mang gave Mo Xi a redemption, but Mo Xi returned to him a dark yoke around his neck.
And, ironically, this is really the best thing he can give Gu Mang now, after experiencing such betrayal, hatred, and cold heart. The last thing he could give him.
It turned out that this was their whole life.
The order went down, Mo Xi still sat silently with his arms folded in both hands, and walked away.
Gu Mang suddenly said, "You are still unhappy."
Mo Xi looked up at him and said: "... it's not true this time."
Gu Mang insisted, "Why are you unhappy."
"..."
"Don't you like it here? Then we change."
Mo sighed and drew from his memories, and said, "What?"
"I used to ..." Gu Meng muttered, "I like it?"
"I said we knew each other before."
Gu Mang thought for a while and gave up, but still said, "Okay, you know when you know it."
There are many Sichuan dishes in this restaurant. The hot and spicy dishes are no stranger to Gu Mang. After all, the Western Shu Kingdom is an alliance of the Zhonghua Kingdom. In the year of the Western Sichuan War, Gu Mang went to help the Alliance. Since then, he has not been able to touch any spicy seeds, and he has eaten a plate of red oil spicy chicken in one breath without changing the color.
But if you can eat it, Mo Xi knows that Gu Mang still likes hometown food.
I just don't know. He rebelled outside, those years when he fought against Laos, looked at the grapes and wine on the table, did he miss the home-made pancake buns, and even regretted it for a little bit.
Different from the normal gentle cuisine of Chonghua Kingdom, everything in this restaurant is warm. The kitchen is half-open, only covered with a cloth curtain. Guests downstairs can hear the hot "anger" sound of hot oil, the "ding ding" of the spatula being crunchy and hard, and from time to time there are "fire" The ground rises from the inside, and the whole room becomes red.
"Fish-flavored eggplant, cold chicken, a basket of wok helmets, and the two customers are eating while they are hot." Xiao Er was holding vegetables in his left and right hands, and one on his head. "It tastes bad when it's cold."
Gu Man reached out and silently took off the bamboo basket on his head.
The pot helmet is made of lard and meat, and when it is burrito, it is wrapped with minced pork and minced pepper, and green onion. It is baked with lard on both sides and it emits a burst Another eager scorch.
Gu Mang didn't like green onions, but after removing the green onions, he liked the cake very much, holding it in his hands and eating it seriously. Other dishes came up one after another: back-cooked meat, sandwiched in chopsticks, and the brightly sliced pieces of meat trembled and shimmered. The boiled water cabbage is softly immersed in the rich chicken broth, refreshing and sweet. Stir-fry the waist flower, cut the knives into wonderful rolls, slip out of the pot with garlic tincture in the fire, and even carry the aftertaste of Mars when they come up, the taste is crisp and tender.
The scent of the dishes is rustic and violent. When one chopsticks goes down, all the seven tricks are refreshing in an instant. The numbness of peppercorns stimulates the nasal cavity and tongue. This table dish does not have expensive ingredients, but it is delicious-expensive and exquisitely crafted, which is why they used to ask for high prices.
"It's delicious." Gu Meng finished, and muttered to himself, "It seems to have been eaten before?"
I heard Gu Mang say that Mo Xi 's appetite, which was not so strong, became more and more depressed, so he put down his chopsticks and turned to look at the streets and streets outside.
Gu Mang licked the debris on his lips: "Princess, what's wrong with you?"
Mo didn't move at first, but after a moment he reacted swiftly and raised his head: "What do you call me?"
