"Okay." Tao Jiujiu smiled, picked up the chopsticks, took a bite of the wrapped "shrimp skin" and tasted it. He immediately tasted that it was made of top-quality tofu skin, but the tofu skin was slightly fried. After a while, the outside was drizzled with seasoning, and it looked like the color of shrimp skin. Nannan also picked up the chopsticks and took a bite to try, then pouted and muttered: "It's not shrimp" "You don't like it? It's okay, uncle ordered the octopus ball soup you like, and There is cheese, you can just eat it," Qiu Qingshan comforted her softly. After Taojiu tasted the wine carefully, he felt the lingering fragrance filling his cheeks. He smiled and said to Qiu Qingshan, "It tastes good. You should try it too!" "Okay." Qiu Qingshan took a chopstick and tried it. He also smiled appreciatively: "It tastes really good. What's embarrassing is that the color and shape are similar to real shrimps." "Uncle, these two shrimps take up the entire plate. I have never seen such big shrimps." ." Nannan clapped her hands and smiled. Tao Jiujiu smiled faintly, then took another mouthful of stuffing and distinguished it carefully. There are at least three ingredients in it: yam, almond, and lily. These are foods that can be used as both medicine and food. After being skillfully cooked and seasoned, they are so delicious that she wants to swallow them all with her tongue. After eating less than half of a plate of "Braised Drunken Shrimp", another dish came. The waitress smiled and explained: "You two, this is 'Dongpo Pork'." The allusion to Dongpo Pork is well-known in China. , but Tao Jiujiu is curious about how to make Dongpo pork with vegetarian dishes? As far as she knows, the raw material of Dongpo pork is pork belly! With strong curiosity, Tao Jiujiu directly sandwiched the red part of the meat skin on the top, put it into his mouth and took a taste - haha, this is actually made of winter melon skin. After pouring the rich soup on it, at first glance It's just like the skin on top of braised pork. What about the lean part in the middle? Tao Jiujiu picked up the piece of food that looked very much like lean meat and took a bite with great interest. However, it was made of winter bamboo shoots with very fine minced plum vegetables sprinkled on top. At first glance, the uneven texture looked like real meat. The meat is almost lean, and as for the last layer, it is fat meat imitated by peeled eggplant "What a 'fake thing is real when it is real'." Tao Jiujiu praised sincerely. The remaining dishes came one after another, whether it was "braised beef" made with eggplant and lotus root slices, or "steamed meatballs" made with lotus paste and cherries, Tao Jiujiu and Qiu Qingshan were both excited Eye-opener. As for Nan Nan, she is still too young to discern the true value of this table of vegetarian dishes. In her opinion, these are far inferior to fried chicken legs. The waiter also said before that because Tao Jiujiu and the others guessed most of the raw materials, they gave them a 20% discount. Therefore, both the guest and the host are happy. Qiu Qingshan sent Tao Jiujiu and Nan Nan back home to go out for a while. Before leaving, he whispered in Tao Jiujiu's ear: "After dinner, I have a surprise for you." Tao Jiujiu heard this , two blushes appeared on the cheeks. Nannan stood aside, pretending to be angry: "What did uncle and mother whisper? Why didn't you let me know?" "Since it was a whisper, of course I won't let you know." Qiu Qingshan smiled enigmatically, deliberately mocking the little guy. appetite. "Hmph, if you ask me to help you next time, I won't care." Nan Nan's lips curled up, "I will cooperate with you today" Qiu Qingshan almost fell over when he heard this: "You threatened me" " That's right!" The little guy finally found some confidence, with a sly smile on his face. ========== At night, the lanterns are on. After dinner, Qiu Qingshan suggested going out for a walk, and Tao Jiujiu and Nan Nan readily agreed. Before getting in the car, Nan Nan shook Qiu Qingshan's arm with great interest and asked: "Uncle, where are you going to take us to play?" A naughty light flashed in Qiu Qingshan's eyes: "Secret." " Tell me, tell me." The little guy said coquettishly, "Good uncle, handsome uncle, tell me!" "I won't tell you, I won't tell you!" Qiu Qingshan stood firm and followed Nan's example. Nan sang the little dragon's theme song as he bullied him not long ago. "Humph, if you don't tell me, I won't tell you." The little guy didn't threaten him this time. He raised his neck and deliberately pretended to be disdainful of knowing. Tao Jiujiu thought of the "surprise" Qiu Qingshan had whispered before, and felt a little expectant in her heart. The car turned through the streets that were as busy as daytime, and finally stopped outside the "Grice" Observatory in the suburbs. ¡°Uncle, are you going to take us to see the stars?¡± As soon as she got out of the car, Nannan was jumping up and down with excitement. Tao??Jiu raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the sky. Darling, the stars don't show much respect tonight, and there are only three or four of them sparsely seen. Bring Nannan here to watch the stars? It would be better to send her directly to the zoo to see the orangutans! "Let's go in first." Qiu Qingshan did not answer, but naturally bent down and picked up Nannan, turning his head to look at Tao Jiujiu, with unreserved affection in his eyes. Tao Jiujiu lowered his head, not knowing how to respond for a moment. "Mom, why is your face so red?" The little guy didn't know what to say yet, so he pointed it out in a shameful way. Tao Jiujiu: "" A smile appeared on Qiu Qingshan's stern face, and he strode forward. Tao Jiujiu remembers that many years ago when she was still in Luoshui City, she often liked to go to an observatory named "City of Angels". Standing on the observatory, she felt that she had a sense of detachment as she looked down at all living beings. There was a sense of powerlessness in the desolation, as if she would fly away at any time. Nannan ran freely on the wide observatory, and the laughter was endless: "It's so big here!" Tao Jiujiu stood with his back against the railing, taking a deep breath. The observatory in New York is higher than the City of Angels in Luoshui. Standing there, you feel that everything in the world is as small as an ant. The only real thing is Nannan running in front of you and the mountains standing side by side with her. Ordinary men. Qiu Qingshan is handsome. He was called a "heartthrob" when he was in Luoshui City. His handsome face has fascinated many girls. After coming to New York, his charm has not diminished, and he is often surrounded by enthusiastic and proactive people. exotic girl. Qiu Qingshan is considerate. Over the years, he has been very considerate to her and Nannan. Nannan has a slight cold and fever, so he is more nervous than anyone else; Tao Jiujiu accidentally talks about what he likes, and within three days, he Will bring things to her without showing any signs of it. ?¡ ¡°Qingshan, you are not young anymore, it¡¯s time to have your own family.¡± Tao Jiujiu said intentionally. Qiu Qingshan's eyes froze, and he smiled as if he didn't understand: "Why are you worried about this? Could it be that I am a slow-moving product that cannot be sold?" "That's not true, it should be said to be just the opposite." Tao Jiujiu smiled. , eyes brighter than the stars in the sky, "You are a high-quality product that is very popular without promotion." "Oh, tell me, how high-quality is my 'high-quality product'?" Qiu Qingshan looked at it with a half-smile. As he stood, he unconsciously closed the distance between the two
