Memory was very important to everyone, but if one's life was saved by memory, it would undoubtedly be unreliable.
Therefore, there were travel diaries, photos, videos, audio, and stories and legends passed down by word of mouth.
Liu Changan remembered a lot of interesting things that were lost in history, but he also forgot a lot of them.
He flipped through the diary for a while and found nothing, but he was not in a hurry. Anyway, Qin Yanan was just a little girl.
It was different for men and women to prolong their lives. Because the composition of the body was different, the effect and the absorption process were naturally different.
Qin Yanan called and said that she would cook for him in the evening, and they would have dinner together.
Liu Changan put away the rattan bookcase.
In the afternoon, the rain stopped for a while, and now it was raining again. Liu Changan estimated that Qin Yanan would come over, so he held an umbrella and went to the street corner of the neighborhood to wait.
After a while, a champagne-colored Bentley stopped. Qin Yanan opened the door, opened the umbrella with one hand in front of her skirt, and came out with the food box. Liu Changan walked over to take it.
Qin Yanan was slightly surprised. Looking at the wet umbrella and the moisture on his face, she felt that he had been waiting here for a long time. It should be known that people now had mobile phones, and even if they came out to wait for someone, they would often come out at the same time.
She was a little touched, but when she thought about how long she had prepared and delivered the food, it was only right for him to do this. He probably understood her good intentions and her passion for her cousin, which was why he was willing to come out. Otherwise, Qin Yanan felt that he would be lying on the chair motionlessly as usual.
"This car is quite compatible with you." Liu Changan looked at Qin Yanan. Today, Qin Yanan was wearing a plain white short skirt. The slightly cold air made the skin of her legs have some goosebumps when she just got out of the car, but it didn't damage her jade-like color.
Qin Yanan explained helplessly, "You men don't know … Women are usually discriminated against when they drive on the road. If it's a normal luxury car, there will always be chauffeurs causing trouble. They'll overtake you, don't you … Only cars like this will make them stay away from you. At most, they'll just whistle and honk from the side."
"Actually, if you paint a few words on the car, 'My great-grandfather is Qin Peng', I don't think there will be anyone whistling or honking." Liu Changan thought of a good idea.
"You're crazy!" Qin Yanan smiled sweetly, raised her hand and hit Liu Changan, then covered her mouth in surprise. "You seem to have grown a lot these days."
"I'm practicing the Seedling Plucking Technique. I can grow taller."
"It's good to be a boy. He can still run around at eighteen. Zhu Juntang wanted to grow taller, but it took her a lot of effort. She finally grew two or three centimeters taller. She was so happy. " Qin Yanan was envious on behalf of Zhu Juntang. She was not envious. She was very satisfied with her height. It would be good if she could be a little shorter, but becoming shorter seemed to be more difficult than growing taller.
Liu Changan and Qin Yanan walked back. The sky was gloomy and a little cold. The smell on Qin Yanan's body mixed with the cold was a cold fragrance. It was light and pleasant, like the fragrance of flowers after a rain.
When they got home and set up the table, Qin Yanan pointed at the mullet egg. "Try this mullet egg soup first."
"You can make this?" Liu Changan was a little doubtful. He tasted it and immediately looked at her in a different light. He nodded.
His reaction was not intense, but Qin Yanan was already a little proud. "This is the recipe of the Henan Cuisine Master, Teacher Hou. It's a national banquet dish. It's called Diaoyutai soup. It took me a lot of time to make this dish … "
"How did you make it?"
"First, wash the mullet egg and get rid of the fishy smell. Then soak it in cold water and boil it over high heat. Take it out and rinse it with clean water. Then, tear it into pieces and put it into the clear broth. Remove the foam and add soy sauce, pepper, salt, cooking wine, ginger and onion water to taste. Then, pour in thin starch and white vinegar. Stir and sprinkle with lemon and coriander to taste." Someone knew how to appreciate it. Qin Yanan felt like she had met a bosom friend. She smiled slightly. "Ordinary restaurants can't make mullet egg soup at all because they can't make the clear broth well. This broth has to be clear but rich, so it's very difficult to make."
Liu Changan ate some, closed his eyes, and tasted it carefully. "Next time, try adding pork bone marrow to the clear broth."
"Won't that make the broth look too greasy and muddy?" Qin Yanan asked with some doubt.
"Wrap it with yellow sprouts and put it in a cloth bag … Three minutes is enough."
"I'll try it next time …" Qin Yanan pointed to another dish. "This yellow sprouts stewed ham. Guess how I made it?"
Qin Yanan was a little unconvinced that he would give her advice on a good dish she made.
"Hehe … I peeled the skin of a good ham, removed the fat, and left the heart. I simmered the skin with chicken soup until it was soft. Then I put in the yellow sprouts, honey juice, and wine. After simmering for half a day, the taste is really sweet and fresh … "Liu Changan praised," The meat melts in the mouth, but it doesn't disperse in the soup at all. The broth is also very delicious, not inferior to the fishless egg soup. "
Qin Yanan pointed to several other dishes, and Liu Changan tasted them one by one. Although he might not be exactly the same as Qin Yanan, he was able to point out the taste changes brought by different cooking methods and steps, which made Qin Yanan feel incredible. This little cousin was definitely not simple. He lived in a small house transformed from a utility room, but he was confident to taste all kinds of dishes pointed out by the chefs of the State Guesthouse. Moreover, he was definitely not half-baked. It was impossible for him to make such comments unless he was a foodie. How could he fool Qin Yanan by pretending?
For example, Zhu Juntang, who liked to eat, had her own Zhuji Ji which did high-end catering and had built several Michelin rated restaurants. Every time she ate the dishes made by Qin Yanan, she would only say that it was delicious. It was absolutely impossible for her to make comments like Liu Changan. At most, she would say that she had some fine ingredients in her collection that she could give to Qin Yanan to cook for fun, and maybe she could improve it.
It was not unreasonable that wealth nourished one's character. There were some things that you hadn't touched or tried, so you didn't have the confidence to show it.
But he was obviously poor … Forget it, Qin Yanan didn't think much about it. His great-grandfather disappeared without a trace. If he didn't say anything about the mystery of this little cousin, she was afraid that she couldn't find anything.
Today, Liu Changan and Qin Yanan both had a full meal. After dinner, Qin Yanan packed up the food box and put it outside the door. Seeing that it was still early, Liu Changan put up the canopy, turned on the lights, and sat outside the house to chat.
Looking into the distance, he saw that the rain had stopped for the time being, and a line of lights was reflected in the sky, covering the edge of the city that was rising and falling one after another. Looking at the scenery from this side, there was no water, no mountains, and no people. It was just that the surrounding walls seemed to lack a lot of natural colors.
Qin Yanan took out her mobile phone and glanced at it casually. Zhu Juntang had sent a message to her: The night is so beautiful. Why don't you go back to the house and talk about life and ideals?
"What do you mean?" Qin Yanan replied.
"Marriage is life, and the ideal is to have a few children."
When Qin Yanan saw Liu Changan's gaze drifting over, she quickly grabbed her mobile phone, stood up, pointed at Baolong Center, and made a gesture of knocking her head.
There was no doubt that if she could find Liu Changan with a telescope, Zhu Juntang would definitely be able to find him too. It was just that she didn't know when she started peeping. Probably, there were a lot of messy thoughts in her mind, which made Qin Yanan want to go and argue with her right now.
"I'm going to find Zhu Juntang." Qin Yanan picked up the food box.
"Be careful on the road."
