The weather is getting dry, and there are all kinds of small fish and shrimp in Taibai Lake. I don't like to eat fresh food, but the cat has been eating very well recently, with shiny fur that feels great to touch.
It seems that The beauty can see people clearly now. Recently, when I come back from Yi Hong Lou, he always calls me accurately to have a meal in my direction. Before long, maybe half a month or even ten days, he may be able to see me clearly. This is a good thing. But what makes people feel melancholy is the recent dry and unbearable heat, which makes me weak and unable to eat. He can finally see me clearly, but I look very haggard, which is not a good look.
Calculate the days, it's just about half a month until settling the accounts at the Yihong Pavilion. After that, I'll need to find another job. I tiptoed to the back kitchen, and sure enough, The beauty was making some refreshing snacks. Lately, he has put in a lot of effort to please me with food and drink.
"What are you making today?" I asked. "The other day you made sweet potato soup and lychee jelly, but you didn't like them. So today, I made some lactose shaved ice," he replied good-naturedly, still busy at work. After a while, the lactose shaved ice was served, and my little braid was finally successful. "Try it, you like sweet things," he said very gently. He was right, I have a sweet tooth. Candied haws, rice dumplings, and all kinds of preserved fruits are my favorites. If I don't eat sweets, what else is there to enjoy? I might as well fast.
Carefully looking at it, isn't this snow sprinkled with some fruit juice? After taking a spoonful, I realized I was only half right. The enticing sweet and sour taste is indeed cherry juice, but the main attraction is the snow, which is a special ice milk only found in Hudian. It melts in the mouth with a strong milky flavor.
"Delicious," I praised as I took a few more spoonfuls, feeling satisfied. "A gentleman stays away from the kitchen," I suddenly spoke up, "but it's a pity that The beauty doesn't cook." It seemed like I remembered something and then I blurted out a sentence, but my head was pounding.
"Spring Festival?" The beauty called out to me, sounding a bit anxious. "It's nothing, just an occasional headache," I reassured, but he seemed even more uneasy.
"Meow~ Meow meow!" The cat suddenly jumped onto the table, making a provocative sound. Sure enough, The beauty started scratching its belly again. It's really a little rascal, is that what they say? Yes, but the cat should be a little rascal, right? "Cat, what's on your paw?" I was just despising its shamelessness in my head, but I didn't expect it to be so audacious!
"Cat! That's the The beauty made lactose snow! Give me your paw!" Although my heart was full of indignation, I almost shouted out, but in fact, I remained calm as usual, silently picked up the cat and said slowly, "But it's just some water. It must have been playing in the lotus pond outside again. Since it loves water so much, I'll take it out to play in the water." "Meow meow meow! Meow!" The cat bravely resisted, moving its little paws around. "It seems happy. Then come back earlier, Spring Festival." Unfortunately, The beauty is a natural harmless Simpleton, and misunderstood directly. I am very satisfied with this. The dried fish sent by the neighbor's fisherman Ah Li was eaten by the cat and me, and the lily sachet from the neighbor Xiao Lin is hanging on me. Only the cookbook I picked up has played a huge role in his hands.
"Meow~ The cat knows it's about to be groomed. It tries to please me by rubbing against my wrist and meowing softly. 'Do you think I'll forgive you that easily?' I poke its little head and pause before saying, 'No, I won't.' It probably feels disheartened, but it starts to doze off in my arms and refuses to get down. 'Silly cat, don't make the same mistake again, understand?' Even though it ignores me, isn't this a form of apology? So, I happily head back, and on the way, I buy some fresh lotus roots."
