C256 Eating Bitter
For example, when facing an eagle's pounce, the rabbit would fake its death, and when the eagle got close, it would kick the eagle hard, hitting it hard. "
The rabbit looks gentle and unchallenged, but in fact, the mind is sharp, intelligent and brave, so that the later generation of netizens call my country rabbit.
Kang Ying ignored him and continued, "As for the Cancer, it's a homegrown constellation. It's old, simple, and persistent, and the Cancer likes to hold on to the same thing, to collect anything ancient or valuable. Even if he's never been rich in money his whole life, he'll never show any signs of poverty or poverty."
Because of these characteristics of the Cancer, when Kang Ying saw that Shi Jiangyuan ate similar foods every day, she felt that Shi Jiangyuan was a Cancer. Later, she also saw that Shi Jiangyuan would take her to the same restaurant every time, which made her feel that Shi Jiangyuan was a Cancer.
Although she was not particularly superstitious about constellations, it seemed that everyone who had a corresponding constellation had some of the characteristics they belonged to.
At this time, the saying of constellations had yet to become popular, and only some fashionable magazines had spread the word about it. Shi Jiangyuan probably wouldn't go to those magazines, so he was completely ignorant of the constellations.
"Is that so? It's just like fortune-telling, interesting. " Shi Jiangyuan laughed.
It was a snack topic, and neither of them took it seriously. However, the two of them did not realize that even though they were chatting nonsense, they were actually enjoying themselves and were even more enthusiastic than when discussing business.
Kang Ying spread Shi Jiangyuan's knowledge of constellations, saying that in foreign countries, a person's birth was divided into 12 constellations according to their age. Each constellation had a corresponding date of birth, and each constellation had a different personality.
Shi Jiangyuan understood immediately. He said, "That's right, I was born in the middle of July. That means I'm a Cancer."
Seeing that Shi Jiangyuan's date of birth had confirmed her thoughts, Kang Ying smiled and said, "That's why you like to find the same restaurant so that you can have a meal."
Kang Ying still had one more sentence to say, but she suddenly stopped, embarrassed to say it out loud.
That is: Cancer people are infatuated, like a person will not easily change.
However, she was a bit too ambiguous when she said that to Shi Jiangyuan, so she didn't tell Shi Jiangyuan about it.
At this moment, Shi Jiangyuan ordered some more refreshments on the dining car pushed by Waiter. Kang Ying saw that he subconsciously ordered the cream dumplings from a few days ago. She couldn't help but smile slightly.
Kang Ying didn't think anything bad was going to happen when she was with this old and repetitive giant crab guy, which seemed to have a lot of new fun to try, but also a lot fewer small ideas to deal with all of a sudden.
In his previous life, Kang Ying's men were all business elites. Whether they were calm, collected, or controlled, none of them seemed as interesting as Shi Jiangyuan: a young face hid a deep feeling of nostalgia.
What moved Kang Ying the most about Shi Jiangyuan was that he didn't show any displeasure when she told him to change his plan to something else.
If they were close friends, they might be unhappy if Kang Ying rejected them after ordering their favorite dishes.
This gave Kang Ying a feeling of unfettered freedom when she was with him. If he wanted to say it, he could say it. If he wanted to do it, he could do it.
She thought that this was one of the main reasons why she was able to get along well with Shi Jiangyuan even though her mental age was much older than his.
Kang Ying had a teasing heart, so she introduced Shi Jiangyuan to a dried bitter melon, letting him taste a new one.
Shi Jiangyuan saw that this snack was a bitter melon with meat stuffing inside, so he said with a bitter face,
"I don't like to eat this kind of bitter food since I was young. For example, our Lu County has a wild plant called Kusanagi. My mom always said to heat it up and burn it, so we can eat more.
Every year, after the bitter season, when the bitter food from home dries up, she stews the bitter food and soup, and then the whole yard smells of smelly socks, and she forces each of us to drink a big bowl. "
Speaking of this unpleasant experience, Shi Jiangyuan couldn't help but frown, as if he was still immersed in the bitter soup of "smelly socks".
Kang Ying imagined Shi Jiangyuan's face when he was young. He looked like a noble young master, but his mother forced him to drink bitter food and soup. She couldn't help but laugh. Her eyebrows and eyes were curved like the moon.
Shi Jiangyuan looked up and immediately got rid of his "smelly socks" emotions. With the beauty in front of him, even that unhappy childhood memory was diluted by a lot.
Shi Jiangyuan continued, "That's why I don't like bitter food. Bitter tea, bitter conch, and this bitter gourd."
"Try it, this is their specialty, they won't make things difficult for the customers, the bitterness isn't too strong."
Kang Ying advised, and forcefully picked up the chopsticks, the bitter melon into Shi Jiangyuan's bowl.
Shi Jiangyuan hesitated for a moment. In the end, he still picked up the chopsticks, picked up the bitter melon with meat, and carefully put it into his mouth and took a bite.
After eating, Shi Jiangyuan realized that the bitter gourd meat was not as bitter as he had expected. The bitter gourd was stewed, and it even absorbed the fresh taste of the meat juice.
After Shi Jiangyuan realized that it wasn't as bad as he thought, he happily ate the bitter melon. His face was full of pride, as if he was begging Kang Ying to praise him.
As he wished, Kang Ying also asked, "How is it? After one try, you won't be so resistant, right? "
"Indeed." Shi Jiangyuan nodded and took the initiative to take another piece and put it in his mouth. He didn't know why, but he suddenly liked the faint taste of bitterness.
Why did he feel so new every day with Kang Ying? Even if it was eating a bitter melon with meat! This feeling was really good!
In his 20s, his life was smooth and peaceful, with no major setbacks at school, at work, or in the business world.
However, such a life always made him feel dull. What was missing from it?
He felt that if other people's youth is bright and colorful, he is only medium tone, no personality.
Until one day, a touch of unexpected brilliance dyed his life, and before he knew it, he was smeared with every color by Kang Ying, and even the taste of her food was willing to adjust for her.
Thinking of this, Shi Jiangyuan suddenly felt his heart beat faster. He took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, quietly picked up another bitter melon with meat and put it into his mouth.
