Chapter 182 Behind the Iron Face
While Shui Xiaoxing was still analyzing the chessboard and chess pieces, Xinyue had already sat on the chair on the left, and then she started playing...
The sound of the piano was extremely beautiful. Although it seemed simple, it had a hidden charm. Shui Xiaoxing must not have known it yet. Along with the sound of the piano, Jin Xuefu slowly walked to the stairs. It was not until Crescent Moon finished playing that Jin Xuefu slowly He walked upstairs, clapped his hands and said, "What a guqin song from the 19th year of the Republic of China!"
Xinyue stood up and said: "Oh! I didn't know that Uncle Jin was here too. It's really a shameful thing. I only know a little bit about it."
Xinyue is still very humble, and Xinyue plays the piano really well. I heard Jin Xuefu say this about Xinyue, he said: "The sound of your piano touches my ears, touches my heartstrings, and the sudden waves crash on the shore amid the flowing clouds and flowing water. If you If you can only scratch the surface of playing, I’m afraid most people in the world can’t even play! It can only be said that you are playing for fun. I believe Xinyue, you must have been in elementary school!”
"Uncle Jin, I did like the guqin when I was young, but no one taught me. I taught myself. Now I have lost it for many years. I don't know whether I am playing it right or not. I just rely on my memory. Now, it’s okay to fool Brother Xiaoxing, but it’s hard to fool Uncle Jin! I still made Uncle Jin laugh!”
When Jin Xuefu heard what Xinyue said, he was very surprised. He thought that this woman could play so well even if she taught herself. If she had a teacher to teach her, she would definitely make a difference in this industry, so he said: "You are too I'm so modest, I almost forgot, the food is ready, let's go downstairs to eat."
"Uncle, why do you cook so fast?" Xinyue asked curiously, because it would probably take her an hour or two to cook by herself.
"Maybe it's because as you get older, cooking has become a habit. If you treat cooking as a normal thing, you will get better slowly and quickly. Just don't have any burdens. Of course, most young people nowadays don't know how to do their own homework. Yes, cook..." Jin Xuefu just smiled and didn't continue talking.
"Fortunately, I won't worry about this!" Xinyue said with a smile.
Jin Xuefu didn't understand Xinyue's words, so he heard Shui Xiaoxing explain: "Xinyue is also from a wealthy family, and there is a nanny at home, so she doesn't need to cook, but I have eaten the dishes cooked by Xinyue. , very authentic Linjiang cuisine, very delicious.”
"By the way, Uncle Jin, do you have Shen Jiang's cooking skills or Heratu's cooking skills?" Xinyue asked.
"How should I put it? It should be Shen Jiang's cooking skills, but the cooking will still have the taste of Heratu. Alas! I have been influenced by my family since I was a child, and I can't always make the authentic Shen Jiang taste. Come!"
When Jin Xuefu was still immersed in the days of missing Heratu, Xinyue said: "Uncle Jin, Uncle Jin! Then let's..."
"Yao! Haha! Go downstairs to eat quickly, and give your uncle some advice," Jin Xuefu finally calmed down.
Speaking of which, the kitchen and dining room of Jin Xuefu's house are also quite strange. What's strange is that his kitchen and dining room are not in this villa, but there is a door on the far left of the living room. When you go out, you have to pass through a glass corridor. , and then came to a room behind the villa. It was not until approaching the restaurant that Xinyue asked: "Uncle Jin, why is your restaurant located here? Isn't it too much trouble to eat every day?"
Seeing Jin Xuefu, he smiled and said: "You don't know something. I am usually the only one in this family, and I can eat at the work during the day. It can be said that I cook very rarely, and I only come here a few times occasionally.
To say that the kitchen is far from the dining room is actually far.
The advantage is that at least there will be no fumes in the bedroom, and there will be no fear of fire. You see, I am alone at home, and it is inevitable that I will not take good care of the water and electricity at home. If something happens, at most this house will not be needed, and then it will be built.
It’s better than burning down a villa, right?”
Xinyue thought about it and felt that what Jin Xuefu said was reasonable, but it was also far-fetched. Normal people would never design it like this anyway. It was probably because Jin Xuefu was a collector and he probably had a lot of antiques at home, so he decided to do it.
He was worried about these points, and also that his house might catch on fire, so he came up with such an idea.
Shui Xiaoxing thought to himself, this person has all kinds of weird personalities. Of course, the higher the achievement, the weirder the personality. This may be directly related to the education and training he receives!
In fact, this room is not small. The dining table gives people a Western European feel. The dining table is already filled with sumptuous dishes. There is also a bottle of red wine in front of Jin Xuefu. After Jin Xuefu opened it, he gave it to Shui Xiaoxing.
He and Xin Yue poured some each, and then said: "It's rare for us three to get together, so I'll pick up the cup first. After that, these dishes will be your business. If you can't eat them, you are not allowed to go back tomorrow!"
It could be heard that Jin Xuefu was joking, but Shui Xiaoxing originally wanted to go back to Mao Doudou's house tonight, but his adoptive father said it, so it seems that he can only spend the night at his adoptive father's house tonight. If this is the case, Sister Lin
They...just when Shui Xiaoxing was thinking about how to explain to Lin Yao and the others, Jin Xuefu said: "Child, eat the food quickly and see how your father's craftsmanship is?"
Xinyue didn't care about the trivial matters. She ate a few bites first, until she felt that the food cooked by Uncle Jin was not much different from the food cooked by her own nanny. As for the food, it was so delicious that it made people forget to come back.
I still haven't tasted it. I feel that the taste of every dish is almost the same, but the type of dish is different.
Shui Xiaoxing took a casual bite and said, "Father, this is really delicious. I think your cooking skills are comparable to those of my mother. How can I put it this way? It tastes just like when I was a kid.
I often eat it. My adoptive father thinks that the dishes you cook still have the charm of the north! But the way you make it looks a bit like the way southerners make it."
Xinyue thought to herself, Brother Xiaoxing is really telling lies with his eyes open. Why can’t I taste the taste of my childhood? In fact, Xinyue is from the south, so naturally she doesn’t understand the northern delicacies, and she has never tasted the northern delicacies a few times.
Authentic hometown food.
Xinyue looked at Shui Xiaoxing while eating the vegetables. Seeing that Shui Xiaoxing still loved to eat, she couldn't help but asked: "Brother Xiaoxing, do you think Uncle Jin's rice and vegetables are delicious, or is it made by me?"
How delicious is it?"
Jin Xuefu also set his sights on Shui Xiaoxing. Shui Xiaoxing secretly glanced at his adoptive father, then frowned at Xinyue, meaning he wanted to ask Xinyue why he asked such a question at this time. I
I must say that the food cooked by my adoptive father was delicious, but I was afraid that Xinyue would be angry, so she looked at my adoptive father, smiled, and said, "This question Xinyue asked is actually very difficult to answer.
This is like asking me whether Diao Chan or Wang Zhaojun is more beautiful. Xinyue and my adoptive father are both very good cooks, and Xinyue specializes in southern cuisine. I think no one can match her Linjiang cuisine. But
My adoptive father has used southern methods of cooking northern dishes, which seems to be a bit more advanced. You see, it’s hard for me to comment on this!"
At this time, Xinyue also pulled back, because Jin Xuefu belongs to the elders after all. He knows that elders are all face-saving, and you can't make fun of him by reading his jokes. That will make Brother Xiaoxing's face very embarrassing, so he said
: "Brother Xiaoxing, everyone has their own characteristics, right? But I'm still young. Uncle Jin is definitely better than me in terms of age, experience, and cooking skills. But the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. I will always surpass Uncle Jin."
day."
Jin Xuefu was naturally very happy when he heard this, so he said: "This little girl is not simple-minded, and she is also very talkative and good at talking. Xiaoxing, I think you may not be her opponent. This is the future for my father.
Lord on the beach! Haha! Young people are to be feared, young people are to be feared, come on! Cheers..."
Jin Xuefu also started joking, and the three of them gradually lost the sense of strangeness. With the drunkenness, everyone talked more and more, and the meal lasted very late. It was not until ten o'clock in the evening that Jin Xuefu
Said: "Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, it has been more than ten years. You have to catch a flight tomorrow, so I think you should go back to bed early."
But at this time, because he was drunk, Shui Xiaoxing said unintentionally: "Father, after returning to Longshan to explore the ancient tomb this time, we are also planning to go to the head teacher Heratu. When the time comes, foster father, you will also come. If Zhu Zhen is
She will be very happy to know that you are still alive."
"Go back to Heratu! Let me think twice about this. Now that my daughter is the God of the witchcraft, I don't need to worry about it." Jin Xuefu was worried that his daughter Zhu Zhen would not recognize him.
, because he has left his daughter alone for so many years, and now a father suddenly appears, it must be difficult for most people to accept it. It seems that this still needs a process, but the most important thing is how to face Zhu.
Where is the real mother Zhu Zhao!
"Father, Zhu Zhen is very lonely in the witch sect. If you can go back to stay with her from time to time, I think she will be very happy," Shui Xiaoxing said.
"Alone, her mother Zhu Zhao is not with her?" Jin Xuefu asked.
"No wonder, foster father, you don't know this yet. The old master passed away when Zhu Zhen was nine years old. It's been six or seven years now!" Shui Xiaoxing said.
At this time, Xinyue pulled Shui Xiaoxing's arm, hinting to Shui Xiaoxing that you might have said the wrong thing, but it was too late. When Jin Xuefu heard the news that Zhu Zhao was not alive, he knelt down.
West, listen to him say: "This is all my fault. If I had not left Heratu, she would not have died. She died because of me."
What Jin Xuefu said is correct. There were indeed some reasons why Zhu Zhao died of excessive grief because Jin Xuefu left at that time, but there were also some reasons because the witchcraft she learned was too powerful, and jealousy damaged her body, resulting in a decrease in her lifespan.
Shui Xiaoxing walked behind Jin Xuefu and said: "Father, this person cannot be resurrected. His destiny is determined. Since he can't be seen, it means that his fate has been exhausted. Maybe the old master will live a happier life in his next life than this one."
.”
Then Shui Xiaoxing helped Jin Xuefu stand up, and Jin Xuefu said: "Child, let's go back to the house. When I finish my work here in Heratu, I will take the time to go there. We will see you in Helatu then.
.”
"That's great!" Xinyue clapped her hands hurriedly.
Maybe at this time there is a need for someone like Xinyue, who behaves arbitrarily in front of Jin Xuefu, no matter how big or small. However, Jin Xuefu was not angry when he saw Xinyue's behavior. Instead, the more he looked at it, the more he liked the little girl, so he continued to secretly
