Chapter 596: Distressed
It was already midnight when they arrived at Cape Town Airport, and the two of them left the terminal, and at a glance, they saw Zhang Xin holding a sign looking for them everywhere.
The two of them got into Zhang Xin's car, there were not many vehicles on the road at midnight, Zhang Xin sped up and drove for more than an hour to reach an old-fashioned villa like an ancient castle.
Morning Star and Xiao Han got out of the car, and the two looked at the house curiously together, Xiao Han whispered to Morning Star: "Do you think this place is like a medieval castle in an old movie, very simple and elegant, a lingering atmosphere of the old times." ”
Morningstar nodded, she just felt this way, but she couldn't describe it, when she came here, she remembered the old movie "Butterfly Dream" she had seen, and the castle there was similar to the style here.
Zhang Xin told them that the castle had been bought by Su Yue from the city's police chief a month earlier, and that it was originally the residence of the first Dutch governor of Cape Town, and that after the governor died, the castle fell into the hands of the locals.
This time, Su Yue spent an extra 500,000 US dollars to buy this ancient castle, but since then, Su Yue and the director have become inseparable friends.
This castle villa is a square castle, Morning Star roughly estimated, there are at least hundreds of rooms, Zhang Xin led them to the second floor of the main building, and asked them to settle here first: "There are too many rooms, many places need to be repaired, Hao Hongwen was busy for more than ten days, so he only cleaned up the rooms on the first and second floors." ”
Chenxing was a little tired, put down his things and took a shower, looked at the time, it was already more than two o'clock in the morning, Su Yue and Liu Qingyu hadn't come back yet, did their work here work hard like this?
Morning Star fell asleep first, in a daze, as if someone had entered the house, she opened her eyes with a spirit, it was really Su Yue back.
Chenxing hurriedly sat up, lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, Su Yue came over and held her down, and said, "Don't get up, it's a little cold here, the heating of this ancient castle still depends on the fireplace, the entire inner pipe is still being renovated, and the electric heater is not warm." ”
Su Yue hugged her through the quilt, Morning Star looked at his face, and found that he was thin, dark, and his chin was a little sharp, she reached out and touched his face, feeling that his skin was also a lot thicker, thinking that he was busy until this time to come back, he must have suffered a lot during this time, and his heart suddenly became sad.
Su Yue observed her words and looks, knowing that she was uncomfortable, pinched her bun face, and joked: "What, you dislike me, don't you? I am exposed to the wind and sun in this place every day, can my skin be better? You can't be so!"
Morningstar rubbed his face and sighed, "No matter what you look like, you are the best in my heart, how can I dislike you?
Su Yue kissed her forehead and comforted her: "It's okay, don't worry, I'm in good health, we don't stay up late every day, there have been special circumstances in the past two days, and I usually go to bed on time before twelve o'clock." ”
Morning Star withdrew his hand and hugged him tightly through the quilt before he said, "Hurry up and sleep, you must be very sleepy." ”
Su Yue went to take a shower, thought about what she would do tomorrow again, and arranged the work to be done tomorrow morning to Zhang Xin one by one, and then fell asleep with Morning Star.
The spring night was short, and when Morning Star opened his eyes again, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning, Su Yue was still sleeping very deeply, and Morning Star guessed that he must be hungry, so he got up lightly and went to the kitchen to cook.
This city is located by the sea, and the most important thing is seafood, knowing that they are coming, considering that the restaurants outside are not delicious, Zhang Xin stuffed the refrigerator and freezer to the brim, anyway, he knew early in the morning that Chenxing was very good at cooking.
Morningstar took out the ingredients to thaw them, first made braised prawns, garlic oysters, steamed clams in wine, and saw that there was a very beautiful peacock green abalone in the refrigerator, she liked it very much when she looked at it, so she made another steamed abalone.
After making four dishes of seafood, considering that everyone needed to adjust the taste, Morningstar fried two more green vegetables, and seeing that there was too much seafood in the freezer, she simply made another seafood gnocchi soup.
Su Yue smelled the aroma of rice, saw her steamed abalone, pinched one with her hand and tasted it, felt that it was unprecedentedly delicious, and couldn't help but eat another one, before saying:
"Morning Star, your cooking skills are really good, if you open a restaurant here, you will definitely make a lot of money, the people here are very perfunctory about eating, I haven't eaten such delicious abalone for a long time, I'm really blind to these peacock abalone!"
It turned out that this was Peacock Abalone, and it was the first time Morningstar had heard of it, and Su Yue told her:
"The growth period of this abalone is 8 to 10 years, the taste is excellent, it is the top goods in the seafood market, but unfortunately, people here will not do it, this kind of abalone Xiangjiang is the most delicious, on this large plate of your steaming, there will be sold for at least 6,000 yuan, every time I see this abalone, I have to think of the taste there. ”
Hearing Su Yue say this, Morning Star was very sad, a person like him who grew up in fine clothes and jade food, now he can't even eat a bite of delicious food, Morning Star discussed with him: "Su Yue, why don't I let Aunt He come over, Aunt He is here, you can at least eat a familiar taste." ”
Su Yue shook her head: "Forget it, we go everywhere and rarely stay in one place for more, and the identities of me and Liu Qingyu, the fewer people who know, the better, Aunt He has no professional training, let her come over, in case she is targeted, Liu Qingyu and I will be in big trouble." ”
Only then did Morning Star know why he had lost a lot of weight, this kind of day when he didn't eat well, slept well, ran around and was under a lot of pressure every day, if he and Liu Qingyu weren't young, I am afraid that their bodies would not be able to bear it.
At this time, Liu Qingyu also came over, the two men looked at each other, and they both felt that the other party's eye sockets were gray and gray, and they looked excessive, Su Yue teased Liu Qingyu first: "I thought you wouldn't get up until after three o'clock in the afternoon." ”
"Cut! I'm just more hungry than you! Dare you say you didn't get up because you're hungry?"
Su Yue sniffed hard, and replied: "Of course you are hungrier than me, Chenxing, have you smelled it, Liu Qingyu actually smells of milk!"
Chenxing held back a smile and hurriedly explained for Liu Qingyu: "Don't make fun of him, he has no choice but to do it!"
Liu Qingyu was embarrassed, and gave Su Yue a hook punch when he returned his hand, Su Yue blocked it, and the two went to the kitchen door to compare, and the comparison was lively, Xiaohan came over, and saw that they were fighting inextricably, and asked in surprise:
"What's wrong with you two?
Liu Qingyu immediately put away his fists and kicks, and covered up: "It's not, sometimes the two of us are bored, so we can compare and contrast together, so that we can distract some anxiety." ”
Xiao Han believed it, she went into the kitchen, saw that Morning Star had made a bunch of delicious food, and quickly helped put these things on the table, and said to the two of them, "Hurry up and eat, will you go out in a while?"
Su Yue glanced at Liu Qingyu and said, "I'll go out to run errands in a while, Qingyu, you take them out for a walk." ”
Liu Qingyu thought for a while and said, "It's better for me to go with you, so it's safer, I'll call Xiao Feng, and ask him to come over and take them to a few nearby scenic spots in a while." ”
