That night was the night before yesterday, but for women, the word "that night" was not conscious, because women were emotional. Emotional meant hesitation, borderline, and ambiguity. Words that did not specifically refer to it were, of course, more in line with their needs and feelings.
Liu Changan thought for a moment. Last night, he was talking about the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin and politics.
The night before yesterday, at Qin Yanan's house. That night was the night before yesterday.
What happened the night before yesterday, in Liu Changan's eyes, was not as calm as Qin Yanan said.
But his brain always habitually dispersed some overly intense emotions. After all, as a person who had lived for so many years, his brain must be in a state of saturation. Things that were stored in had to be given out.
Liu Changan dispelled some of the pride and satisfaction from selling the powder today, and found the state of that night.
So, Liu Changan looked at Qin Yanan with a very restless expression and satisfied her request.
"I really can't imagine …" Qin Yanan looked at Liu Changan in disbelief. She already felt that she had a good understanding of him.
But what he did still made her feel that it was difficult to speak.
How could there be such a person?
Before Qin Yanan saw the recovered video, she had imagined countless scenarios, all kinds of messy scenarios.
But she did not expect him to do this.
"Sorry." Liu Changan was very regretful that she was actually able to find the video. As expected, it was not easy to keep up with the times. In this era of knowledge explosion, the skills he grasped were too insignificant compared to the speed at which skills increased. It was too insignificant.
"You actually sat next to my bed and told me the historical events from 1945 to 2017 vividly and passionately for an entire night? Qin Yanan pointed at the bowl of rice noodles that Liu Changan brought over and looked excited. "Are you crazy? Is your brain filled with rice flour paste? "
Liu Changan put down a bowl of rice noodles and turned to look at the dazzling sun.
Of course, Qin Yanan did not really come to eat his bowl of rice noodles. The video had not been completely restored. In the large section that was retrieved, Liu Changan was talking about history, from the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the surrender of Japan, the beginning of the War of Liberation, the three major battles, the liberation of Nanjing, the peaceful liberation of Beijing, the first Political Consultative Conference, the founding ceremony …
From Qin Yanan's point of view, Liu Changan's speech was much better than that of some experts and professors at the podium. The key was the allusions of the characters. Some were not recorded in the history books, and some were not circulated. Her great-grandfather had told Qin Yanan in private. More importantly, he had a grasp of the characters' personalities. His tone and even his dialect were very wonderful, making people feel as if they were there.
But was that the point? Most importantly, when he was talking about this, Qin Yanan had already stripped herself naked!
Therefore, Liu Changan was really crazy.
Qin Yanan judged her state at that time from the cheongsam on the ground and the clothes on the bed. Liu Changan had been standing in front of her. The camera did not directly capture her, but at that time, it was definitely not Liu Changan who put her in that state. He was talking to her in a state of sleepwalking.
"When you were sleepwalking, you looked like Ye Sijin." Liu Changan turned around. His eyes were not used to staring at the sun for a long time. "In my opinion, that was Ye Sijin traveling through time and space to get the opportunity to communicate with the modern world."
"I … I became Ye Sijin?" Qin Yanan could not confirm everything with the video, so she came to look for Liu Changan again.
"This is not important." Liu Changan waved his hand.
This is not important? Qin Yanan realized that Liu Changan really did not care much about this cousin of his. He was really heartless!
"You are still you, but Ye Sijin will no longer occupy your sleepwalking state. Just like in many stories, ghosts are born because of obsessions, and they die because of the dissipation of obsessions. You didn't sleepwalk again last night, right? "Liu Changan asked with certainty.
Qin Yanan nodded. If she did not notice Liu Changan's strange behavior in the video, Qin Yanan would definitely be satisfied.
"What I felt was Ye Sijin's obsessions … Think about it, a revolutionary who sacrificed herself in that era, what was her obsessions?" Liu Changan paused for a moment. "They wanted to see what the country that they shed their blood for looked like!"
"So …"
"Yes, I want to tell her what kind of country she gave her life to create. I want to tell her how the dream in her heart has been realized … In some places, it has been realized better than she imagined. In some places, it will make her feel pain and anger. In some beautiful and happy places, she will be willing to accept them. In some evil places, she will be filled with anger." There was a smile on Liu Changan's face. "I told her that there is still a lot of darkness in the world, and many people like her, because they saw the darkness, they chose to desperately burn themselves to create a dazzling or insignificant light."
Qin Yanan looked at Liu Changan in a daze, and her eyes were moist.
"Now, her obsessions have finally dissipated, and they will not disturb you anymore." Liu Changan patted Qin Yanan's shoulder. "Eat the powder."
If he were Ye Sijin, would he be willing to accept it? Would the obsessions dissipate? Qin Yanan sighed softly. Did her obsessions finally dissipate? Did Liu Changan know that Ye Sijin's obsessions were to see someone again?
Qin Yanan couldn't forget the scene she had seen after touching the coffin. She couldn't forget the emotions that had infected her.
As long as her soul was not driven away and her body was not occupied, Qin Yanan was willing to help Ye Sijin fulfill her last wish. However, Qin Yanan didn't even know who the last person Ye Sijin wanted to see was.
Qin Yanan tasted the red spicy chicken powder in a trance. When the spiciness was hard to ignore, she stuck out her tongue and took a bottle of mineral water from Liu Changan to drink.
Liu Changan was still selling powder, and his smile was filled with the enthusiasm of a peddler. The sunlight fell on his hair, and it was like long grass that had been blown down by the wind. Qin Yanan realized that Liu Changan's greatest characteristic was his cleanliness. He was fresh from the inside out, and this was probably the reason why no matter what he did, people found it hard to hate him … Thinking about it, it was hard to believe. If he had been in her house that night, and if it had been any other man, they would have probably sent him off, and then spent the night in silence.
Although he looked very clean, Qin Yanan still felt that he was a bit like the Pork Guy in Stephen Chow's "Domestic Lolling Paint".
It did look a little like that. If he was carrying a kitchen knife and wearing a greasy apron … After Qin Yanan finished drinking the water, the corners of her lips curled up slightly. She found that she had calmed down a lot. If she really could stop sleepwalking, the feeling of peace would be great.
At noon, when the business was quiet, Liu Changan closed the stall.
"Let's go and buy some snacks to fill our stomachs and then go grocery shopping."
Qin Yanan followed behind Liu Changan and looked at his back. The young man's back was straight, and he didn't have the laziness that many young people had because of their decadent nightlife. Especially his waist and buttocks, which were natural and gentle as he walked. Qin Yanan could tell that this was a body full of energy and vigor.
It was not easy to meet a young man who went to bed early and got up early and didn't play with his mobile phone after 12 o 'clock in the summer.
Liu Changan's life seemed very peaceful, but it gave people the feeling that he was a hermit. It always felt like he was not growing, surviving, or experiencing the world, but more like he was counting the time, looking for the splashes of various colors that had splashed in time.
"My back, does it remind you of the back?" Liu Changan did not look back and asked with a smile. He could feel Qin Yanan's gaze on his back.
"What?" Qin Yanan did not react.
If it was An Nuan, she would probably have jumped up and hugged his neck, saying that he took advantage of her again.
"The first back is the back in the real sense, and the second back is the back of Zhu Ziqing's essay. You got zero in reading comprehension. "
"You are the only one in Xiangnan Province who dares to use the joke 'The Back' to take advantage of me."
"I didn't take advantage of you."
"You didn't take advantage of me!" Qin Yanan's beautiful cheeks seemed to be plated with a layer of ripe peach juice.
Liu Changan thought about it and nodded in agreement.
"That's your reaction?" Qin Yanan originally blurted it out. After all, it was better not to mention embarrassing things. But since she said it, it was inevitable that she was a little concerned about the other party's reaction.
Plain.
Nodding casually as a greeting.
As if she was not Qin Yanan, but Zhou Dongdong's small butt, which was not attractive to him at all.
"Oh, I didn't mean it." Liu Changan gave her a reaction. If she needed it, then he would give it to her. It was a piece of cake, so why not?
"You …"
"Look at that dog."
Qin Yanan looked in the direction he pointed and could barely make out from a distance. It was Zhongqing holding a black dog. There was no doubt that it was probably the new high-level Templar.
"What happened to that dog? I heard from Zhongqing that you killed Zhu Juntang's dog and took it back to eat. "
"That's not the point."
"You still want to eat her dog?"
"What I mean is, you see, the dog is not wearing clothes. Can you say that I took advantage of it?" Liu Changan pointed to himself. "In my eyes, all beings are equal. Women are just ordinary animals. Whether they wear clothes or not, there is no difference."
"You called me a bitch!" Qin Yanan was really angry.
"I was just giving an example. What I meant was that you are no different from a dog."
"Liu Changan!"
Qin Yanan picked up the bag in her hand and threw it at him.
"I was just trying to reason with you …"
"I'll go to Zhongqing and get a dog to bite you to death!"
How annoying. Why did women not like to reason? Liu Changan was clearly just giving an example. What's wrong with a dog? Dog meat is so delicious. Is there a need to be so excited?
Liu Changan did not want to lower himself to the woman's level and ran away.
Qin Yanan was wearing high heels that were almost as long as her middle finger. She could not catch up. Moreover, she did not like to chase and run. She could only walk in front of Zhongqing, who had been watching her and Liu Changan.
Zhongqing had a smile on his face.
"Zhu Juntang's dog. Why has she never walked it herself? What's the point of having a dog but not walking it? " Qin Yanan said a little awkwardly. After all, her image had always been steady and elegant. Chasing and beating people on the street felt that it was a bit damaging.
"She said that if she had to do everything, then what are we paid for?" Zhongqing said as he touched the head of the new High Templar.
"Did you see where Liu Changan went?"
"He said hello to me and went to the supermarket." Zhongqing pointed in the direction of the supermarket entrance.
"Okay, thank you."
Qin Yanan walked over and saw Liu Changan at the meat counter of the supermarket.
"The quality of the meat here is better than the affordable products sold in the market, but the price is doubled, which is commonly known as the IQ tax. In fact, most of the time, it is not the IQ tax, but the market tax. In the market economy, the pursuit of extreme profits, you get what you pay for, you get what you pay for, you get what you pay for. "Liu Changan picked and said with great satisfaction." Look, there is Luxi beef here. "
He seemed to have put what happened just now in the past tense. He looked as if nothing had happened, which made Qin Yanan feel embarrassed to continue to make things difficult for him.
"I found that you really have a strong heart." Qin Yanan breathed lightly and calmly, then said.
"I received two hundred yuan from Zhou Shuling for Zhou Dongdong's degree. I can just buy some beef and chicken. Let's eat beef and chicken today?" Liu Changan asked in an inquiring tone as he pointed at the beef on the counter and asked someone to weigh it.
He did not care about her opinion at all, right? Qin Yanan nodded and looked at Liu Changan in disbelief. "So you received two hundred yuan from her to treat me to dinner?"
Liu Changan nodded.
"How could you ask for two hundred yuan from someone?" Qin Yanan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"I was helping her to treat you to dinner. Of course, I can't pay for it." Liu Changan waved his hand.
"I should have given you two hundred yuan the night before yesterday. After all, I was asking for your help."
"Didn't I take advantage of you? Forget it. "
"Now you admit that you took advantage of me?" Qin Yanan's emotions fluctuated. How could this person be so good at flirting with others?
"I just said it casually." Liu Changan picked a few chicken thighs and went to pay the bill.
Qin Yanan had to follow him again. She stared at Liu Changan who opened his mobile phone to pay. She inadvertently glanced at the side mirror and saw an angry little wife who looked like a bully. Who is this? Qin Yanan's cheeks were slightly red. She was shocked by her own image. How could she become like this? She immediately restrained her eyebrows, tidied her hair and clothes, and made the corners of her mouth slightly curl up with a smile. She became a reserved big cousin.
Thanks to the infrastructure construction and the progress of the logistics industry, Liu Changan had not eaten Luxi beef for a long time. It was not easy to eat fresh beef in the past.
Liu Changan and Qin Yanan returned to the community and saw Zhou Dongdong sitting under the sycamore tree feeding the loaches.
"Zhou Dongdong!" Qin Yanan greeted Zhou Dongdong.
"Sister, come and feed the loaches with me!" Zhou Dongdong saw Qin Yanan rummaging in her handbag and invited her very enthusiastically.
"I don't feed the loaches. Where's your mother?" Qin Yanan found a piece of chocolate and handed it to Zhou Dongdong. She felt that this child seemed to sit under the sycamore tree all day. Every time she saw her, she was basically sitting here.
"My mother cleaned the house. She said she was exhausted. She told me to find food by myself and then went to bed." Zhou Dongdong did not eat the chocolate immediately. She looked at it and put it in her pocket. "Thank you, sister."
"Why don't you eat chocolate?"
"My mother will be hungry when she wakes up. I will give her chocolate."
Qin Yanan hugged Zhou Dongdong with distress. Of course, she also knew that Zhou Shuling was a single mother. It was really not easy. These heartless men abandoned their wives and daughters.
"How are you going to find food? You are not a small animal living in the forest. You can just look for mushrooms, fruits, and nuts. "
"Mushrooms, fruits, and nuts are all delicious." Zhou Dongdong regretted that she was not a small animal living in the forest.
"Her mother wants her to come and eat at my place." Liu Changan understood it more accurately. He had received a message from Zhou Shuling.
At that moment, Qin Yanan's maternal instincts were aroused. She gently stroked Zhou Dongdong's hair.
Liu Changan went to cook by himself. There was a very famous dish in the Great Hall of the People called pot braised beef. It was made with carefully selected Luxi yellow beef. The yellow beef there was huge and muscular, and its meat was fresh and tender. It had the reputation of having five layers of meat and was very suitable for braising.
Liu Changan chopped the beef. Generally speaking, when making beef at home, it was very delicious to simmer it with three parts of wine and two parts of water. Then, he added soy sauce to the sauce. The most suitable way to eat beef was to cook it alone. There was no need to add carrots, potatoes, and vermicelli. However, it was not easy to buy good beef nowadays. It would be bland and tasteless if it was not matched with something.
Liu Changan's cooking method today was mainly to cater to the taste of northerners like Qin Yanan. After dicing the beef, he boiled it on high heat and simmered it with low heat until it was soft. Then, he put the stewed beef, the processed potatoes, and the carrots into the stew pot to simmer. Finally, he poured some wine and simmered it for a while.
The three sauce stew pot that was popular in the north and south of the Yangtze River was similar in method and principle. He just needed to adjust the taste according to the local taste.
Liu Changan made pot braised beef and chicken floss. He let Zhou Dongdong wash her hands and eat. Qin Yanan seemed to have a maternal instinct. She actually accompanied Zhou Dongdong to feed the loaches.
These loaches were the fattest Liu Changan had ever seen. He could consider buying a new batch of loaches to replace them. This batch could be eaten.
"Where are the chicken legs!" Zhou Dongdong washed her hands and looked around the table for chicken legs. She clearly saw that there were a lot of chicken legs in the food that brother Changan bought.
When Zhou Dongdong was feeding the loaches, she was already imagining herself holding a chicken leg in one hand.
Reality was always so cruel to shatter dreams.
"This is it. It's made into chicken floss." Qin Yanan explained to Zhou Dongdong how to make the chicken floss. "This chicken floss is made from chicken thighs. The tendons, bones, and skin of the thighs are removed, and the meat is minced. Then, the chicken and other ingredients are mixed in and fried until golden brown. After that, the chicken thighs, bones, and skin are added into the mixture. It's delicious."
Liu Changan nodded. Although it was also a home-cooked dish, Liu Changan's method was slightly different. But Qin Yanan had proved that even if she didn't rely on her family background to be a beautiful chef and run a high-end restaurant on the Internet, it was enough to make a name for herself in the food and beverage industry. If she operated well, it was estimated that it would not be difficult to open a restaurant on the American Star.
"Chicken legs should be held in your hands and gnawed!" Zhou Dongdong did not understand what Qin Yanan said.
"There is also chicken skin and bones. You can gnaw on it." Liu Changan picked up the "chicken legs" with the meat removed and only the skin and bones were left.
Zhou Dongdong thought hard for a long time, then picked up a small spoon and started stuffing the remaining skin and bones of the "drumstick" with chicken floss.
Generally speaking, the raw material of chicken floss, the chicken legs would still be intact after the meat was dug out. Steaming was only to flavor the chicken floss. When eating, the chicken legs and skin would be discarded.
Looking at Zhou Dongdong's operation, Liu Changan thought for a while and also learned from Zhou Dongdong to fill a chicken leg. The chicken skin was dipped in some gravy. When biting it, a kind of crispy and smooth texture was added.
"It's not bad to eat like this, if you can eat the chicken skin." Liu Changan nodded and said to Qin Yanan. Some people didn't eat the chicken skin.
Qin Yanan also gave it a try and praised with a smile, "Zhou Dongdong, you really are a genius."
Zhou Dongdong turned a deaf ear to him. After making two chicken legs, she held one in each hand and ate it. Chicken legs should be eaten like this!
"I thought about it. Most of the chicken drumsticks are a little dead or not tender enough when eaten. However, the way we eat them completely avoids this kind of texture and also retains the chicken skin that many people love to eat. The oil in the skin is removed during the steaming process, so it won't be too greasy. This method can be popularized. " Liu Changan nodded. "When my restaurant opens, this chicken leg will be counted as a dish."
"You want to open a restaurant?" Qin Yanan was a little surprised. Aren't you going to university next semester? Qin Yanan's job at Shonan University was arranged by her great-grandfather's people.
"Partnership. I will pay the money and provide the menu. Zhou Dongdong's mother will also take a share." Liu Changan nodded.
"Then are you still going to university?"
"Of course. I haven't studied much in the past ten years. I need to study hard and learn the knowledge that I missed in the past years." Liu Changan said with a lot of feelings.
In such an era, doing nothing for more than ten years was like returning to the primitive society … It was not that bad, but it was what it meant.
Since he still had to go to university, Qin Yanan didn't care whether he opened a restaurant or not. But he seemed to have a good relationship with Zhou Shuling and her mother. Qin Yanan couldn't help but look at Zhou Dongdong's face.
It was too round, and she couldn't see it.
Also, this idea of hers was too ridiculous.
"Let's name this chicken leg. Let's call it Dong Dong Drumstick."
"What? That's too bad."
"You see, Dong Dong is like the sound of a drum. This drumstick looks like a pestle that is held in one's hand. That's why it's called Dong Dong Drumstick. It's also the way that Zhou Dongdong invented it. "
"No, it sounds like Zhou Dongdong's leg. Do you think it's suitable?"
"That's true." Liu Changan didn't insist.
"You can call it Zhou Dongdong Brand Chicken Leg. That's good."
"You don't have this level of skill."
"It's easy to understand. Do you want to find the name of a chicken leg in The Book of Songs and Songs of Chu?"
"Okay, it's decided."
