Cats couldn't eat things that were too salty. Otherwise, it would be a burden on their kidneys. This was common knowledge that cat owners and cats themselves knew. Su Yu thought that the kitten would spit out the clam meat. Unexpectedly, the kitten licked the corner of its mouth, poked the sauce plate with its paw, and called out to Su Yu. It clearly meant, "Good taste, give me another one."
Unable to understand the kitten's special hobby, he simply threw the remaining two clams to the kitten to play with and turned to make his seafood noodles. Soaking the dough, kneading the dough, scattering the powder, cutting the dough, Su Yu didn't know much about dough, but making a bowl of handmade noodles was not a problem. The soup base was made with small fish and shrimp, and a few stir-fried squid tentacles. It was fresh and delicious.
Su Yu squatted on the ground with a bowl of noodles in his hands. Looking at the kitten who was enjoying the seafood noodles, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. This cat's taste was too strange. It didn't eat fresh food, but liked to eat his food...
The weather was still a little cold. In the dark and cold night, squatting by the stove with weak candlelight, a man and a cat were eating hot seafood noodles. The fresh and hot soup warmed the deepest part of their bodies. After coming here for so long, Su Yu felt a trace of happiness for the first time. He looked down at the furball who was panting as it ate. It felt good to have a companion.
"Second Young Master, you're here!" A little girl suddenly appeared in front of the kitchen door. Seeing the young master squatting by the stove and eating noodles without caring about his image, she suddenly widened her eyes.
"Chun Cao, what's wrong?" Su Yu saw the little girl and couldn't help but stand up. This was the only little girl by his official mother's Jhao Clan. There must be something important for her to be sent here at this time.
"Madam wants you to go over." Chun Cao pulled her ponytail. "Don't panic. Madam's body is fine."
In this family, "Madam" referred to Su Yu's official mother's Jhao Clan. Because his father originally had a title, the official wife naturally had a rank, and his aunt could only be called Madam, not Madam.
Hearing this, Su Yu quickly finished the rest of the noodles and followed Chun Cao to the backyard.
The golden kitten raised its eyes and looked at Su Yu who was leaving quickly. There was some dissatisfaction in its eyes. This stupid servant actually ran away without asking for permission. After glaring for a moment, it angrily buried its head back to eat. Well, even though he's a little stupid, the food he cooks is indeed delicious. I'll let him off for now.
After eating the seafood noodles, he instinctively wanted to lick his paws, but when he saw that his paws were covered in dust from stepping on the ground, he lifted his paws halfway and put them back down, scratching the ground instead. Life after leaving the palace was terrible. He couldn't even lick a paw. Just as he was getting angry, a foot-long civet cat suddenly appeared on the wall and meowed at him.
Su Yu followed the little girl through the house in the dark. In order to save money, the house didn't light up at night. Seeing that the light in their di mother's room was still on, the two of them couldn't help but quicken their pace.
"Mother, why are you looking for me so late at night?" Su Yu walked to the bed and saw a woman in her forties leaning on the kang table, doing needlework in her hands.
The Jhao Clan was originally considered plump, but this illness was very dangerous. The illness came like a landslide and left like silk. After suffering for a few months, the woman looked a lot more haggard, and her cheeks were a little sunken. When she saw Su Yu coming over, she smiled and waved him over. After finishing the last few stitches in her hands, she pulled off the end of the thread and said, "Come and try it."
Su Yu picked it up and looked at it carefully. It turned out to be a man's cotton robe. The material was fine cambric, and the cotton wasn't thick. It was just right for this season. "For me?" He couldn't help but show some surprise in his eyes. This was purely handmade. Every stitch and thread was warm from his fingertips. This kind of gift was very difficult to get in the society of a thousand years later.
"It was originally made in the autumn. I wanted to give it to you to wear for the New Year, but your father suddenly passed away and delayed it for so long." The Jhao Clan's woman pulled Su Yu's hand over and tenderly touched the calluses on his hands. "The weather is warm, so I removed a layer of cotton. Quickly try it on."
Su Yu had lived two lives, and this was the first time someone had made clothes for him. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't moved. In his previous life, his parents divorced. His mother didn't like his father and married someone else because she didn't like him. It was good enough that they met once a year. How could they have the time to care about his well-being?
The clothes were just right. The stitches were fine, and the material was of high quality. With Su Yu's fair and handsome face, he suddenly turned from a fisherman to a noble son.
The moon was dark and the wind was strong. It was a murderous night. Between the green bricks and gray tiles, a few strange figures quickly passed by and stopped on the roof of a house in the West City. The golden kitten sat on the roof, quietly watching the stray cats that gathered from all directions.
"Boss, where are we going?" The colorful cat asked the big black cat in front of him who was in a hurry.
"Shut up!" The black cat gave the colorful cat a slap with its paw and quickly jumped on the roof. It came in front of the tall kitten and sniffed the tip of its tail to show its submission.
The golden kitten wagged its tail. "Old Black, how have you been?"
"Thanks to your good fortune." The big black cat bowed its head. Its followers didn't know why, but they followed their boss and bowed their heads.
"The day before yesterday, you were almost bitten to death by Wangcai from the East City …" On the other side, the colorful cat, who also had a group of followers, said coldly.
"It's none of your business!" The big black cat was suddenly unhappy. It bared its teeth and hissed threateningly. The colorful cat didn't want to be outdone. It raised the back of its neck and wanted to fight.
"Enough!" The kitten wagged its tail with a headache. Hanging out with these unintelligent mountain village cats really couldn't set off its brilliance. But what could it do? As a cat, the only thing it could order around was this "miscellaneous army."
It let the colorful cat confirm Yu Laosi's yard again. Cat King, who was in a bad mood, decided to teach this mortal who dared to kick it a lesson.
Su Yu rushed to buy fish early because there wasn't enough seawater at home to store the sea fish. After a night, most of them would die. As an experienced fisherman, Yu Laosi wouldn't get up early in the morning to go to the market like Su Yu. Instead, he would buy the fish he caught during the day at dusk. There were a few large water tanks at home specifically for storing these fish.
The roughly made water tank was very thick. It was three feet high. Although it wasn't high for cats, the water inside was deep enough. A group of stray cats circled the fish tank a few times but couldn't get in. Some of the more impatient ones had already jumped onto the water tank and used their paws to hit the fish that popped out.
The big black cat let out a low purr, and the cats suddenly quieted down. They all turned to look at the golden kitten that claimed to bring them to eat a feast. They saw the small kitten sitting on a bench, calmly looking at them with its amber eyes. When they were done, it stood up happily and walked to the side of a water tank. It raised its tail and shook it rhythmically.
The tip of the golden tail had a tuft of white fur, and as it shook, there was a faint halo. Then, the tail swung towards the water tank like a steel whip. The water tank that was two fingers thick suddenly had a hole the size of a fist, and the salty seawater suddenly surged out.
It was needless to say how a cat would react to the smell of fish. Yu Laosi's expression would definitely be very interesting the next day.
Su Yu came out of his official mother's yard and couldn't help but sigh. The situation at home was too complicated. He was the son of a concubine, and it would be difficult for him to smoothly inherit the title of nobility. His uncle's status was not much higher than his, but his aunt's family had some relations with the imperial uncle, so they had more connections than him, who was poor. His official mother's Jhao Clan was not to be trifled with. Due to her poor health recently, she didn't have the strength to fight with them. Once her health improved, this family would be chaotic again.
To be honest, as a modern person, he didn't care about the title of nobility. As long as he had money, he could live a comfortable life. Being a nobility without any income would still make him miserable. Su Yu didn't want to participate in any family fights. He just wanted to sell his seafood. His current goal was to save enough money to rent a shop and open a small restaurant.
Back in his yard, he looked around but couldn't find the kitten. Then he remembered that he had left the kitten in the kitchen, so he quickly went back to look for it. The plate with the seafood noodles was still on the floor, and a few clam shells were thrown aside. Su Yu couldn't find the little furball after searching the kitchen. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
That kitten was the most intelligent cat he had ever seen. Su Yu thought that he could become good friends with it and live together with it. Who knew that it would leave without even saying goodbye …
Lying on the cold bed, Su Yu suddenly felt a little sad. Living in this different time and space, he always felt that there was no sense of belonging. He felt that he might suddenly transmigrate back one day, so he didn't dare to communicate too much with the people around him. He was afraid that he would leave something behind. And that kitten, for the first time, made him think about living seriously, but it disappeared without a word.
In a dark alley with dim street lights, Su Yu had just finished feeding the wild cat when he suddenly heard a noise. It seemed that a few hooligans were fighting. Not wanting to get involved, Su Yu was about to leave quickly. Suddenly, a beer bottle flew at him, and his head hurt.
"My mother is going to be a general's wife. This donkey needs to be sold in exchange for a carriage …"
"Give it back to me, give it back to me …"
He didn't know who was arguing, but he felt dizzy. With a "dong" sound, he knocked on the hard steps. Su Yu opened his eyes and found that he was in an antique room. Other than a face and a name, everything else was different.
Su Yu felt that he couldn't breathe. He struggled to open his eyes. What entered his eyes was a dark bedroom. There was an old wooden bed, and his chest felt stuffy. He looked down and saw a yellow furball nestled on his chest, sleeping warmly. The yellow furball glowed with a charming golden color under the early morning light.
"Little rascal." Su Yu reached out and poked the warm furball. This guy was sleeping on his chest. No wonder he was under pressure.
The kitten seemed to be very alert. When he touched it, it immediately woke up. It stared at him with dissatisfaction, got up and stepped on his chest. It found a comfortable position and lay down again. Its two eyes stared straight at Su Yu, as if warning him not to move. If he disturbed Master Cat's sleep, he would die a horrible death.
Su Yu couldn't help but smile. He put his hands behind his head and looked at it. "You're back. Does this mean you agree to live with me? Then I'll give you a name. "
The kitten looked at him with disdain. If it wasn't because I had no choice, who would want to live with a stupid slave like you?
"I'll call you 'Sauce'," Su Yu said with a smile. A cat that liked to eat sauce so much must be commemorated.
"Hmph, if you want to know my name, just say it." The kitten stood up and looked at him from the corner of its eyes. It then squatted down and used a paw to press Su Yu's chin as if it was giving alms. "Remember, my name is An Hong-chul!"
However, in Su Yu's ears, this mighty and domineering declaration was nothing more than a series of "meow meow meow". He patted the cat's head and said, "Since you like it so much, then it's decided! Sauce! "
