Chapter 657 Spring Night is worth gold in 1 moment
The guests were toasting each other, drinking and chatting happily, the room was full and everyone was drunk.
Mr. Sun’s banquet was well prepared, with plenty of meat and vegetables, and everyone ate until their stomachs were full.
After a hearty meal and lots of drinking, the guests dispersed when the wine was finished.
Only Sun Shan and Yun Jie'er were left in the bridal room, looking at the bright red candlelight.
Sun Shan smiled and asked, "Sister Yun, are you tired today?"
I secretly glanced at Sister Yun and felt that she was a little thinner than before. It seemed that she had suffered a lot during her days waiting to get married.
Yun Jie'er's face turned red, and she didn't dare to look at Sun Shan with her round eyes. She whispered, "Brother Shan, I'm not tired."
To liven up the atmosphere, Sun Shan said, "Oh, it's better to be the bride. I'm so tired as the groom. I have to run around and do so many things."
Sister Yun asked with concern: "Brother Shan, you've been tired, no wonder you've become so thin."
Sun Shan was embarrassed and wanted to say that he was naturally thin, just like Yun Jieer was naturally fat.
Then Sister Yun said, "Brother Shan, Huangyang County is different from Guangzhou Prefecture. It's much colder here than Guangzhou."
Sunjia Village is located in the mountainous area. The temperature is fine during the day, but the mountain breeze will bring the temperature down at night.
Now it is October, late autumn and early winter, the temperature will drop sharply in the morning and evening, and it will be much colder.
Sun Shan nodded and said, "Yes, it's much colder here, so you should dress warmly."
Sister Yun nodded, and then the air became quiet.
Sun Shan really didn't know what to talk about with Sister Yun. Although it was quiet outside, he felt like there were still people walking around, and it was not convenient to go to bed so early.
So he found a topic to talk about: "Sister Yun, last time I brought you a lot of Jinling embroidery. Which one do you think is better than our Guangzhou embroidery?"
When it comes to embroidery, Sister Yun is quite professional. She has been practicing needlework since she was a child and can be considered a semi-expert.
She said with bright eyes: "Brother Shan, Jinling embroidery is completely different from our Cantonese embroidery. I am studying it and thinking that it would be good to practice Jinling embroidery. By the way, Brother Shan, you also gave me a lot of Su embroidery. I also want to study it carefully."
Sun Shan didn't know what he had given away. He just took whatever the seller said, as long as it wasn't Cantonese embroidery.
Speaking of Jinling, Sun Shan said, "The duck blood vermicelli soup in Jinling is good. If there is a chance, I will take you to Jinling to eat it."
Speaking of food, Yun Jieer couldn't help swallowing her saliva and asked anxiously, "Brother Shan, is duck blood vermicelli soup really delicious? I haven't eaten it yet. Do you know how to make it? Otherwise, tell me and I'll ask Nanny to make it."
Sun Shan didn't know how to cook it, he only knew how to eat it.
So he made an excuse and said, "Yun Jie'er, you don't understand this. Duck blood vermicelli soup tastes good only in Jinling. It tastes different here. Even if you can make it, the ingredients are different. Duck blood vermicelli soup tastes good only when it is made by Jinling ducks, Jinling water, and Jinling people. Just like lychee roast goose, it must be roasted on the lychee wood of Daling Mountain to have a fruity aroma and crispy skin and tender meat." The second half of lychee roast goose is the most delicious. When Sun Shan said this, Yun Jie'er swallowed her saliva again, looked at Sun Shan with shining eyes and said, "Brother Shan, you are right. When making food, not only the ingredients are important, but also the water used and the technique. Local food is authentic only when it is eaten locally."
Sun Shan looked at Yun Jie'er's greedy look and found it funny.
Then he said, "When there's a chance, I'll take you to Jinling to eat duck blood vermicelli soup and Jinling salted duck. Of course, Jinling duck oil-fried sesame cakes are even better. We have a small courtyard there, so we don't have to stay in an inn outside."
Sister Yun's eyes lit up to death, and she said happily, "Brother Shan, can we really go to Jinling? I have never been anywhere except Guangzhou. Well, you are so lucky, you can go everywhere and eat delicious food. Brother Shan, I envy you so much."
Sun Shan smiled and said cheerfully, "Don't be envious. I will take you everywhere in the future. When I accompany you, no one will dare to say anything bad about you."
Yun Jie'er wanted to clap her hands and cheer loudly. For someone who loves to eat like her, eating all the delicacies in the world is her life's pursuit, but because of her status as a woman, she is not allowed to go anywhere.
Fortunately, I live in Hejia Village, where everyone is from the same clan. Otherwise, like my sisters who were studying, I would only have the opportunity to go out when I was in school, and I would have to stay at home at other times.
Sister Yun asked again: "Brother Shan, what delicious food is there in Sunjia Village?"
Sun Shan was stunned. Speaking of the specialties of Sunjia Village, Sun Shan was at a loss. It seemed that their Sunjia Village did not have any outstanding specialties.
So he said, "My oranges, don't you think they are delicious?"
Yun Jieer nodded without thinking and said, "Delicious, Brother Shan, the oranges you have are the best in the world. It's a pity that there are too few of them, and I can't enjoy them every time."
Sun Shan was delighted and said with a smile: "If you marry me, there will be plenty of oranges in the future. You can eat as much as you want."
Sister Yun's eyes lit up again, and she felt that the whole world was filled with the sweet scent of citrus.
He said happily: "Brother Shan, your goose is also delicious. It is very fragrant after being steamed."
Sun Shan said without hesitation: "My geese are raised in the orchard. They eat fruit all day long. They must be delicious. If you like to eat them, ask my father to raise more."
Yun Jie'er was even happier and she wished she could ask Sun Shan to catch the goose immediately, boil water, butcher the goose, and put it in the pot to simmer.
Sun Shan and Yun Jie'er chatted about this and that, and 90% of the conversation was about food.
Suddenly a voice rang out from outside the window: "Uncle, cousin, I want to eat stewed goose too."
Sister Yun was startled and Sun Shan was frowning. It was such a familiar voice, he knew who it was without having to guess.
He must be a frivolous boy. I can't believe that such a small boy would squat outside the window and eavesdrop. I don't know how my second cousin He Shuyu taught him.
As Sun Shan was walking towards the window, he heard another voice: "Brother, why are you talking? You've been discovered."
This voice belongs to the cowboy. Oh, it seems I have to talk to Uncle Sun tomorrow. The cowboy actually does have talent. If he works hard, he might be able to pass the exam and become a scholar, so that Uncle Sun’s dream of becoming a “scholar” can come true soon.
Sun Shan suddenly opened the window and heard a "Wow~~Wow~~" sound outside the window.
Under the moonlight, there were not only Qiangzi and Cowboy, but also Jianzi, Xiaoguangzi, Little Crybaby and a group of half-grown boys, as well as young men like Degeer and Big-headed Dog.
De Geer looked at Sun Shan speechlessly and said, "Shanzi, you and Yun Jieer talked for a long time and all you talked about was food. You must be greedy."
Big Head Dog echoed: "Yeah, we kept talking about food, and it made me hungry too."
The little kid Jianzi asked in a crisp voice: "Uncle Shan, I want to eat stewed goose, too."
The cowboy immediately patted his chest and said confidently, "Jianzi, the stewed goose in our Sunjia Village is delicious. I can eat three bowls of rice with it."
At this time, Su walked in from outside and saw a group of people under the window. She immediately stepped forward to drive them away: "Why are you guys here? Hurry up, go away, don't disturb my Shanzi's sleep."
Su soon drove everyone out, then brought a bowl of nourishing soup and said, "Shanzi, drink it and you will fall asleep. Drink it quickly."
Sun Shan didn't want to drink, but Su forced him. In the end, Su left with an empty bowl in satisfaction and closed the door considerately.
Sun Shan stretched his neck and said to Sister Yun, "Sister Yun, it's late, let's go to bed quickly. We have to get up early tomorrow."
Sister Yun hummed, her whole face flushed.
The flowers on the temples of the cloud are shaking, and the hibiscus is warming the spring night.
The spring night is short and the day is high, and since then the king will not go to court early.
