After getting to know the old man, He Yuzhu was no longer as cautious as before, because the old man was in good and bad spirits and could not get along with him like a normal person.

You go to please him respectfully, but he even slaps you with his shoe. If you just call him Old Man Su, he will be as happy as a child.

Old Man Su smiles every day. He eats and drinks from He Yuzhu every day without feeling any guilt at all. He eats every meal very happily. Maybe there is something wrong with his brain. When he is happy with the meal, he picks up the bowl and chopsticks and bangs the bowl happily.

.

However, He Yuzhu saw a trace of freedom and ease in this old man who was happy all day long.

This kind of freedom and ease is an extremely precious thing in this era. Although He Yuzhu lived a good life as a child, he was often silent about what he saw and heard these days.

He Yuzhu was very curious about Mr. Su's past background and why he was so good at cooking vegetarian dishes, but he never liked vegetarian food. Instead, he especially liked big fish and meat.

Regarding these questions, Old Man Su showed a rare hint of pride and unruliness in his tone. He picked up a piece of sausage that He Yuzhu brought specially today, smashed it into his mouth, showed a satisfied smile, and replied casually.

"It's best that you don't know my identity, as it will cause trouble for you. As for food, that happened a long time ago."

"When I was young, I loved to play and eat, especially weird things. One year, I got tired of eating delicacies from the mountains and seas. Someone told me that there was a particularly powerful cook in the Jiangnan area. This man made vegetarian dishes.

Chicken and duck are more real than the monks who often eat vegetarian food. Of course I am curious!

He Yuzhu was immediately attracted by this story. He quickly sat up straight and prepared to listen carefully. From this story, it can be heard that this old man's identity is not simple, but looking at his age, not simple is also a thing of the past. He is estimated to be something

Just an old man!

"What are you doing? Pour some for me!"

When He Yuzhu was yelled at by Old Man Su, he quickly came to his senses and poured him a cup of Erguotou!

Old Man Su took a sip, moved his mouth, and showed an afterthought expression on his face. His face was rosy, and his head was full of white hair, which made him look even more weird.

"As the saying goes, seeing is believing. I dressed up specially, went to Jiangnan, and paid a lot of money to ask the cook to cook me a meal. That meal, I saw someone outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky. That day, you kid

The surprised look in his eyes was exactly the same as mine before, and I was also amazed by the chef's skills!"

"Then what?"

He Yuzhu couldn't wait and asked what was going to happen next. Although he knew the final result, Old Man Su must have learned that craft, but he was still curious about how he learned it. After all, such a craft was possible. In the past, it was passed down from family to family.

Unique knowledge.

Old Man Su picked up a big piece of fat meat and ate it until his mouth was full of oil. He then took a sip of wine. The taste was so delicious that he started to feel a little abnormal again. He started to put down the bowl and was about to start knocking.

Fortunately, after a while, Old Man Su woke up again. After the excitement, he showed a hint of loneliness and his tone softened.

"Everyone in this world has desires. I once thought that I had nothing to pursue in this life, but today I discovered that the so-called glory and wealth are just a fleeting thing. The most cherished thing in life should be the present!"

He Yuzhu was choked by Old Man Su's words. He had no way to reply and could only continue to pour Old Man Su a glass of wine.

"Zhuzi, you have to remember, don't do anything bad in this life. People, this life is actually a circle..."

He Yuzhu didn't know if the old man was not mentally right again, or if he was feeling something. Anyway, his own life experience was not enough to understand, so he could only bow his head and remain silent.

I was too embarrassed to ask him the end of the story.

After the two got acquainted, He Yuzhu remembered that there was still an empty house in his family. He Yuzhu had just gotten married, and the vacant house was just enough for Old Man Su to live in. He would go to the street to apply for it. I wonder if there would be any problems.

But Old Man Su shook his head and refused the invitation, only letting out a rare sigh.

"Zhuzi, it is fate that we met. I know what you want, and I am willing to teach you what I have to teach you. I appreciate your kindness, but as for me, I will live a happy life and don't want to harm anyone again.

Yes, take this thing!"

As he said that, the old man pulled out a shabby book from under a broken stone and threw it towards He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu took it. The book seemed to be old, but it looked like a manuscript?

The cover says, "No time to cook"

This name is a bit interesting. He Yuzhu was stunned when he turned to the first page.

He Yuzhu read the first page, then turned to the second page, and then the third page. Gradually, he was completely immersed in this book.

This is more like a diary than a book, and it is a diary told in a casual and joking way.

He Yuzhu quickly immersed himself in the book. Old Man Su glanced at him and ignored him, drinking wine and eating meat and vegetables.

He Yuzhu's expression changed with the sadness and joy of the characters in the book, and he read it all afternoon without realizing it. It was not until he finished the whole book that he let out a long sigh, stood up, and looked deeply at the dozing old man Su.

Bowed!

Old Man Su half-squinted his eyes and waved his hands, obviously chasing people away!

Old Man Su looked at He Yuzhu's back, sighed deeply, and looked up at the gray sky. The sky was just like his somewhat cloudy eyes.

He Yuzhu said goodbye to Old Man Su and started to walk back, riding a borrowed bicycle all the way home. Along the way, he had a sullen face and was lost in thought several times, almost riding into a ditch.

When he arrived in the city, he simply pushed his bicycle and walked back, recalling the secret vegetarian recipes in the book and lamenting the fate of old man Su.

The entire book just now tells the story, in the first person, of a young man with an extremely noble status. He has no goals since he was a child. He has everything he needs to eat, drink and have fun. However, despite his noble status, he is not loved by his father. He can only

Focus on fun and food.

This book describes his life experiences from 20 to 40 years old. Among them, he will write down the things that interest him, including the amazing vegetarian cook he once met.

He didn't even spend a penny on the secret recipe for vegetarian dishes. The cook gave it to him on his own initiative. It turned out that the cook came from a humble background, but he was very envious of officials. He wanted to use the secret recipe in exchange for an official position.

In the book, he wrote down the secret recipe in detail, and even the proportions of raw materials. The rest is nothing more than knife skills and more learning and practice.

In addition to this secret recipe, there are also many special delicacies from China in the book. Ordinary delicacies were not something he looked down upon. He only wrote down the secret recipes for four special delicacies.

At the end of the book, at the age of forty, his family suddenly fell into decline, and he could not even afford a meal. While lamenting the impermanence of everything, he also lamented the drama of his life, and finally ended up feeling lonely.

The ending, ends the book.

He Yuzhu was also deeply saddened by Old Man Su's life experience. Although his identity was not clearly stated in the book, there was a sentence in the book that said that he had not seen the man from the Forbidden City for more than ten years.

, reminds me of the fun we had together when we were children...

It's a pity that no matter how noble your status was, so what, the destiny of an era and an individual's life are small and insignificant!

When Old Man Su gave this book to He Yuzhu, he obviously recognized He Yuzhu's character, and He Yuzhu had already received this affection.

Although he did not agree to live in the compound with him, he still had to take care of those who should be taken care of. He Yuzhu was not the kind of person like Xu Damao who would just throw them away after achieving his goal.
