Zhou Yating's face was still blushing, and she seemed to know what Chen Xiao had just done. Seeing that Chen Xiao was alone, Zhou Yating looked back and asked,""Where is the person who suddenly appeared?”
"I don't know. Maybe he's just a bystander.”Chen Xiao shook her head and pretended to be angry.""I'm so angry. The guns in their hands actually have no bullets!”
Zhou Yating smiled and brushed her hair behind her ear. Wearing Chen Xiao's clothes was extremely tempting. Her red lips opened slightly and she said softly,""Chen Xiao, thank you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Yating seemed to have thought of what Chen Xiao had just said, and her face suddenly turned red. Seeing Zhou Yating's expression, how could Chen Xiao not know what she was thinking? Just as she was about to speak, the phone in her pocket rang.
"Chen Xiao! Where are you?" Sun Weiwei's furious voice came from the phone. It sounded like she wanted to kill Chen Xiao.
"I'm on Earth." Chen Xiao replied calmly.
"I'll give you five minutes. If you don't show up, I'll get someone to break down your door!”
After saying that, Sun Weiwei hung up the phone with a bang. Hearing the beeping sound, Chen Xiao smiled apologetically at Zhou Yating,""I'll be leaving first. A friend is looking for me.”
Zhou Yating nodded. She raised her head and saw a stooped figure in the distance. She hurriedly shouted,""Grandma, I'm here."
"Just in time, someone is here to pick you up. Goodbye.”Chen Xiao waved her hand and turned to leave.
"Goodbye." Zhou Yating looked at Chen Xiao with a complicated expression. She didn't expect to be saved by Chen Xiao today. Did she really blame him wrongly in the past?!
The old man anxiously walked in front of Zhou Yating. When he saw Zhou Yating wearing men's clothes, he panicked,""Tingting, what's wrong? Did someone bully you?"
"No, I haven't." Zhou Yating smiled and shook her head. She pointed at her clothes,""I accidentally scratched my clothes by the iron wire that stretched out over there. If it wasn't for that classmate just now, I might have come back with my clothes. Ah…"
Zhou Yating seemed to have thought of something and covered her small mouth, scaring the old man.
"What's wrong? Tingting."
"My food, I accidentally spilled all my food. Grandma, go back and wait for me. I'll go buy another one.”
"It's okay. It's good that you're okay." The old man held Zhou Yating's hand and said,""It's getting late. Let's go home. Cold steamed buns, hot water, and some water will do.”
……
"Chen Xiao, where did you go?! Why are you only back now?"
Before she reached her house, Sun Weiwei walked out of the car next to her and slammed the door shut, causing the surrounding cars to sound their alarms. For a moment, the quiet environment became noisy.
"Big sister, I'm not your personal chef. I definitely have my own things to do. If I want to open a shop, I definitely have to find a shop. Do you think everyone is like this?”
Chen Xiao said as she took out the key and opened the door.
"Why is it different inside? Why does it feel more luxurious every day?”
When Sun Weiwei walked into the room, she suddenly felt that there were a few more things inside. Celadon vases, chandeliers, and other things. Originally, they were just decorations for ordinary people. Now, they could be considered to be on the scale of a rich family.
"Who else could it be?" Chen Xiao said without looking back.
"Wow, you're a pretty boy." Sun Weiwei asked in bewilderment, but she immediately shook her head and clicked her tongue."But you don't look like it either."
“……”
Ignoring Sun Weiwei, Chen Xiao went straight to the kitchen and started fiddling with it. Sun Weiwei was no longer as relaxed as before. She ran into the kitchen and asked Chen Xiao,""What are we eating today?”
Chen Xiao looked at the vegetables in the freezer and shook her head.""I forgot to buy vegetables, so I can only make do with the vegetables inside.”
Sun Weiwei nodded. She was not picky about Chen Xiao's cooking skills. Subconsciously, she thought that everything Chen Xiao cooked would be delicious. Seeing Chen Xiao cleaning her large intestine, she asked with widened eyes,""You're not going to stir-fry large intestines, are you?"
"Yes, roasted large intestine is also a dish from an ordinary restaurant.”Chen Xiao nodded and smiled. "Actually, it has a better name. It's called the Nine-Turn Large Intestine. The craftsmanship is complicated and belongs to Shandong cuisine. However, people like you might have eaten it in a five-star restaurant before.”
"Is there any story behind it?" Sun Weiwei asked.
"Yeah, there are." Chen Xiao nodded and placed the washed large intestine on the chopping board to start cutting. As she cut, she said,""This dish was first created by Jinan's Jiuhua Building in the early years of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty. The large intestine cooked in this building is very rough and full of ingredients. It is first cooked and blanched, then fried and then burned. The spoon is taken out and placed into the pot repeatedly until it is cooked.
There was once a time when the owner of Jiuhua Restaurant, Du Mou, treated the guests to a meal. During the meal, there was a dish called "Boiled Large Intestine". After tasting it, the guests praised it one after another. Some said it was sweet, some said it was sour, some said it was spicy, and some said it was salty. A scholar in the seat suggested that in order to thank the host's generosity, he gave it the name "Nine-Turn Large Intestine" to praise the chef's superb skills and the characteristics of making this dish with complete materials, complicated procedures, and varied tastes. The color of this dish was ruddy, and the large intestine was soft and tender. It had five flavors of sour, sweet, fragrant, spicy and salty. It was a traditional flavor dish of Shandong.”
"Ah, there's such a story.”Sun Weiwei said in surprise. For some reason, she was now interested in the history of these dishes.
"Yes, I am." Chen Xiao placed the sliced large intestine into the pot and turned around to say,""Go out and wait for a while. It'll be done soon.”
"Oh, okay." Sun Weiwei nodded and returned to the living room.
After a while, Chen Xiao came up with two steaming hot dishes. One was still the Mapo Tofu from yesterday, and the other was the so-called Nine-Turn Large Intestine. As soon as the plate was placed on the coffee table, Sun Weiwei had already poured two drinks and was about to eat with a pair of chopsticks.
"Hey, at least give me a pair. I didn't eat it either.”Chen Xiao grumbled. As she spoke, she went back to the kitchen to get a pair of chopsticks and the steamed buns that were heated in the microwave.
"Ah!" Sun Weiwei shouted.
The bright room suddenly darkened, giving Sun Weiwei a fright. Chen Xiao did not panic in the dark. She reached out and took two candles from the box under the coffee table. She lit them up and the room lit up.
"I can't help it. Small places always have blackouts in the summer.”Chen Xiao inserted the candle into the empty wine bottle and put it aside.
Sun Weiwei saw Chen Xiao's skillful appearance and chuckled softly.""Haha, do you want to have a candlelight dinner with me?!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Weiwei felt that it was a little too ambiguous. She hurriedly closed her mouth and lowered her head to eat.
"Eat slowly, it will be very hot later. Fortunately, that woman bought an air-conditioner and I didn't turn it off in the afternoon.”Chen Xiao said proudly.
Sun Weiwei looked at Chen Xiao with disdain and asked,""Why did you and your wife get married?”
"Betrothed before birth. I've never seen her before." Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said.
"Oh." Sun Weiwei nodded and didn't say anything else.
The two of them ate quietly under the candlelight. From afar, it really looked like they were having a candlelight dinner. The surrounding air seemed to be filled with ambiguity. A woman's intuition was the sharpest. Sun Weiwei suddenly raised her head as if she wanted to break the silence.
"By the way, are you free tomorrow morning?”
"What?" Chen Xiao looked at Sun Weiwei warily and took a bite of the steamed bun.
Seeing Chen Xiao's expression, Sun Weiwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Was she that scary?
"Tomorrow morning, Ancient, Modern, and Fantasy will have a new boss. Someone in our team is busy. I'll send you his account tomorrow.”
"I'm not free."
"What are you doing?"
"Sleep."
"Chen Xiao! Do you believe that I'll cover your face with the entire dish!”
"Can you bear to?" Chen Xiao said leisurely as she took a sip of her drink.
