Chapter 16 Porridge
The little beggar looked at Zhou Tian and walked to her side for a while. The two of them entered the yard together.
Zhou Meng stretched out her head curiously and shouted: "Sister, who is this?"
Zhou Tian replied: "Our assistant is invited by us. You can look at the shop first and introduce it to you later."
"oh."
As soon as the little beggar entered this ordinary blue brick house, he smelled the sweet fragrance of the cake that lingered, which shows that he was indeed selling cakes all the time.
Look at the decorations in the house, they are simple and neat, no different from ordinary people.
He gradually felt relieved.
Zhou Tian knew that he was very thoughtful and did not introduce anything enthusiastically, so she asked him to read it by herself. She went to the kitchen to start boiling water, and after that, she went to the room to find a set of clothes for her younger brother.
"What's your name?" Zhou Tian said as she walked.
The little beggar looked at her, "Shao Yian." After saying that, it seemed that it was not formal enough, and repeated it again, "My name is Shao Yian."
Zhou Tian was a little surprised that this name is very different from the naming style of this era.
"This name sounds pretty good, so I'll call you Xiao An. My name is Zhou Tian. You can call me Sister Tian or call me Sister at a glance with my younger brother and sister. I'll boil water for you first, take a shower and clean up."
Shao Yian looked at the dirty clothes on his body and did not refuse.
Zhou Tian is a quick-witted person. The water was boiled quickly. She put the bathtub into her elder brother's room, "When the water is ready, try the water temperature by yourself. Wear my brother's clothes first. By the way, you can wash your hair well and put the shampoo next to it, and the soap for the bath is there. You are so thick that you have to wash it a few more times. The water is in the pot. When you turn around, you put it yourself and I will cook first."
After Shao Yian entered the room, he looked at the wooden bathtub on the ground. After a while, he started to clean himself.
When Zhou Zhe and Zhou Hui brothers came back together, as soon as they entered the door, they saw a beautiful child sitting on the bamboo bed next to them. Although he was wearing ordinary blue cloth clothes with patches, his soft and fluffy hair and delicate face still surprised the brother.
"Whose child is this?" It's so beautiful, the more you look at it, the more you look, the more you look like a porcelain doll.
Zhou Tian poked her head out of the kitchen and said, "Beautiful, I picked it up on the road." She was also shocked when she saw it. The Zhou family is actually pretty good-looking, the kind that stands in the crowd.
But this child is no longer able to describe the word "bright" as the word "bright" is slightly fluffy because of its curly hair, and its lips are like morning flowers blooming, with a slight redness and tenderness. The most wonderful thing is that his eyes have deep eye sockets, their eyelashes are quite perky, and their eyes are alert and a little melancholy, which makes Zhou Tian's heart melt.
What kind of excellent genes have created such an elf-like boy?
"Picked up?" Zhou Hui was surprised.
Zhou Zhe also discovered that the little boy was wearing his own clothes.
"Well, let him help our house in the future. Aren't we very busy during this period? Let's ask someone to help." Zhou Tian said, and winked at Zhou Hui wildly, "If such a beautiful child helps us sell cakes, the business will definitely be good."
"Oh, sure." Zhou Hui nodded while confused, but his sister said whatever she said, it was all right, and he just heard it.
Shao Yian was staring at Zhou Zhe at this moment, so he didn't see the interaction between Zhou Tian and Zhou Hui next to him. However, he still heard Zhou Tian's words. He had already come to someone's house. He couldn't feel Zhou Tian's kindness anymore, and his mind would be gone.
"Hello." Zhou Zhe looked at the kid for a long time and first sent out a friendly olive branch, "My name is Zhou Zhe."
"My name is Shao Yian." It doesn't matter if you have to deal with people in the future, it's a little friendly. Thinking of this, Shao Yian smiled at Zhou Zhe.
Zhou Zhe smiled when he saw him, and the person became happy, "You are so beautiful."
"Thank you, you're not bad either." Shao Yian said politely.
"Hey, you are not from us? I heard that your accent doesn't look like you are from local. Where are you from?" Zhou Zhe discovered the New World.
Shao Yian was silent for a moment and said, "Yi'an people." Yian is a city in the north.
After hearing this, Zhou Tian couldn't help but poke her head out again, "Lie, you are from the capital. You can hear your standard Beijing dialect as soon as you open your mouth." Later Mandarin used Beijing dialect as the standard sound. Other places in the north have more or less local characteristics, but Beijing dialect is the standard Mandarin of later generations.
Shao Yian, who was exposed in person, was not embarrassed. He was a little surprised by Zhou Tian's knowledge, "How do you know this?"
Zhou Tian called out, "I've heard someone talk about it before." In fact, I didn't hear much, just the very beautiful young man who paid her compensation on the day he first came to this world.
"When did you hear it?" Shao Yian asked casually.
"Just last month." Zhou Tian brought out the prepared dishes.
"Last month?" Shao Yian looked up at her, and his fingers under his sleeves clenched the bamboo slits.
"Yes. She is still a very good-looking young man, oh, and she is driving a car." Zhou Tian didn't think there was nothing to say, but when she thought about the young man's appearance, she couldn't help but stop and look at Shao Yian and said, "Think about it carefully, that young man seems to be somewhat similar to you. That person shouldn't be your father."
Shao Yian, who was halfway through his heart, almost choked by saliva.
"My parents are dead." Shao Yian said expressionlessly.
"I just said it, it's impossible to be so coincidental." After saying that, Zhou Tian felt that the focus was wrong. However, seeing that the boy had no sad expression on his face, she felt that she was comforting her, and instead seemed embarrassed, so she pretended not to know anything and called out, "Eat for dinner. Only when you have enough can you have the energy to work."
Zhou Meng outside was also called in, and five people surrounded the Eight Immortals table. On the table, there were four dishes and a soup, fried eggplant with oil, fried eggs with leeks, stir-fried chili peppers, salted radish, and a bowl of fine broth in the middle plate.
The essence broth is diced lean meat, add sweet potato flour and water and cook it. Add some soy sauce and seasonings, and the color becomes meat sauce. When finally put on the plate, a handful of small green onions sprinkled, which looks particularly attractive.
"You are more suitable for drinking porridge these days." Zhou Tian changed the remaining porridge for Shao Yian in the morning. "I haven't eaten much before, but suddenly I can't stand it when I eat coarse grains. Drink a few meals of porridge to get used to it, and then eat slowly."
