Chapter 38 Love is never something outside the body (2)
Erii seemed a little disappointed with Yu Shuguang's answer. The unbearable loss in her rose-red eyes made Yu Shuguang feel a little unbearable when she saw it.
At this moment, Masami Morishima brought out the prepared meal, and then smiled and distributed the food to Mitsukoshi and Erie.
The Japanese adopted the system of sharing food, and the earliest way of eating in China was sharing food.
The food sharing system means that dining utensils are separated, and everyone sits together, each person eats their own portion, and you will need as much as you eat and as much as you pick up.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China and earlier, people sat on the ground, and when they ate, they placed the food on the low food table or on the ground beside them, one serving for each person, and each person ate their own food.
As recorded in "Arts and Literature Gathering", Prince Dan of Yan treated Jing Ke preferentially in the late Warring States Period and ate with him and others. The case was low and narrow, very similar to the kang table in the northern rural area today.
"When eating after the case" shows that the same food is placed on the two tables, and the two people share the food according to the case. According to "Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of Mengchangjun": "Mengchangjun once served guests to eat at night, and one person was blocked from the fire. The guest was angry and stopped eating and left the food. Mengchangjun got up and held his own food. The guest was ashamed and committed suicide."
Obviously, China was divided into food during the Spring and Autumn Period. If we sit together and eat together, there would be no misunderstanding of "during food".
As a "good student" in China, Japan has been learning this way of dining and has been used to this day.
Masami Morishima's cooking is relatively simple, and she is her best-known thick egg roast, plus the salted broccoli and the tempting braised potato pork.
My mother even made a pot of green tea. Misou Mitsuki knew Masami Morishima’s intention, which was to make rice with tea.
This dish is the most unique dish for Japanese civilians. Just simply using tea to cook some hard rice, it becomes a dish, which looks quite simple.
But for Yu Shouguang, he and his mother used the "tea rice" dish as a daily meal for a while.
That was the most difficult moment for Mitsukoshi and Masami Morishima, but fortunately, they survived.
After Morishima Masami immediately divided the food, she sat next to Eriei and said to Osamakura in sign language, "Xiao Guang, you told Eriei Jiang, let's start."
The communication between Masami Morishima and Erie is undoubtedly very troublesome. Unlike Misoujima, Misoujima knows sign language, so he can understand his mother's sign language.
But although Arii couldn't speak, she could hear it, and she couldn't sign language.
The communication between Masami Morishima and Erie can only be written in a small notebook, and both of them have to write it, so it is very troublesome to communicate face to face.
Yu Shouguang and Arii can communicate by speaking, which is much more convenient. As a result, Yu Shouguang seems to have become the translator between his mother and Arii...
Yu Shouguang was helpless, but he still followed his mother's advice and said to Erii in a gentle voice, "Erii, let's have a meal first."
Eriyi immediately understood and nodded.
Then she looked at the movements of Masami Morishima and Mitsukoshi and picked up the chopsticks.
Both Mitsukoshi and Masami Morishima clamped their chopsticks with their hands clamped their thumbs, then closed their eyes and made a prayer.
Masami Morishima and Mitsumi, one with an unstandard pronunciation and one with a very standard pronunciation, “I’m starting.”
Then they opened their eyes together and prepared to start.
But Yu Shuguang saw Airi's clumsy movements and seemed to want to pray like they did.
Yu Shouguang was so amused that he said to her, "Airii, you don't have to be the same as us, just have a meal together first."
Erii seemed a little puzzled and took out the notebook and wrote, "Why did Guangjun and her mother do such a move."
"Because it's a habit." Yu Shouguang said immediately.
Masami Morishima also saw Mitsukoshi's lips and immediately smiled and gestured to Mitsukoshi in sign language.
Misou Mitsuki understood Masami Morishima's sign language, hesitated for a moment, looked at Erii's unclear look, and said, "Mom said, this is a ceremony for the whole family to eat together."
"Are you family?" Airi wrote thoughtfully.
"Yes, this is a 'ritual' that only a real family can do." Yu Shouguang whispered.
"Let's not talk about this for now, let's start!" Yu Shouguang shook his head and said happily.
Then he took the lead in turning on his chopsticks, picked up the "thick egg roast" specially made by his mother in front of him, and put the soft egg roll into his mouth. Then Hui Liyi saw Yu Shouguang's intoxicated expression.
"Mom's skills are still the same!" Yu Shouguang swallowed it, which was completely different from his usual gentle and polite image.
Mom looked at Yu Shouguang's voracious look, her eyes were filled with endless tenderness, but she still knocked on the bowl in front of Yu Shouguang with chopsticks.
Yu Shouguang has lived with his mother for so many years, so he naturally knows what his mother means.
Suddenly he showed a bright sunny smile and said while chewing, "Mom, I understand. You can't eat so quickly, but the food my mother cooks is so delicious!"
"Especially this thick egg roast! Combined with tea rice, it's awesome!" Yu Shouguang took a bite of thick egg roast again, then ate tea rice, and said intoxicatedly.
My mother looked at Yu Shouguang's appearance and became even more worried, but she just shook her head and said nothing. The smile on the corner of her mouth betrayed her.
No mother is happy that her children like the food they cook!
Ai Riyi looked at Yu Shuguang's voracious look in confusion, then picked up a thick egg with chopsticks and put it in her mouth.
After eating, she looked at Yu Shouguang and became even more confused.
Why……
Looking at the unremarkable and tasteless dishes in front of him, a small doubt appeared in the rose-red eyes.
It is clear that the dishes made by Guangjun’s mother are not that delicious, but why does Guangjun show a “delicious” expression?
Compared with the dishes she made at home, Guangjun’s mother’s dishes really don’t feel delicious.
Haven’t Guangjun ever eaten any delicious dishes?
Airi looked at Yu Shouguang silently, with a hint of pity in her eyes.
But she didn't know that even if Yu Shouguang tried the dishes of those three-star Michelin chefs, he would still think that his mother's dishes were the best.
In Yu Shouguang's heart, no one in the world has a better dish than the one made by his mother.
Because... my mother's cuisine contains the best seasonings in the world.
That is, mother's love.
Yu Shouguang looked at the mother in front of him, his eyes were full of gentleness. He wanted to eat the food his mother cooked for the rest of his life.
Eat for a whole life...
