Chapter Forty-Seven: Chef Shi's Careful Thoughts
At this time, Shi Jing sat upright, served soup to Si Xiaojun in a serious manner, and put a few good dishes on a small plate in front of Si Xiaojun, then glanced at her quickly, and said with a little nervousness: "It's not a big deal over the years, and I will learn it when I have nothing to do." ”
Si Qi looked at him and asked, "So you're self-taught?"
Shi Jing nodded a little awkwardly, but she didn't dare to look at her, making her seem to go back to the past in an instant, thinking of herself when she first took the stage to receive the award.
"Sure enough, there is no distinction between academic masters. Si Qi gently pinched the chopsticks, suppressed the throbbing of his heart, and couldn't help but sigh: "I thought you had reached the peak of doing software and writing code, but later I found that your handiwork is not like a human being, but I didn't expect you to even be so outstanding in cooking, and you don't leave a way for us ordinary people to live at all." She shook her head to herself, was silent for a while, and then asked, "President Shida, what are you not very good at?"
Speaking out also makes her feel balanced and balanced.
For more than ten years, Shi Jing has never been praised so bluntly, the original forced backlog of worries and anxieties disappeared in an instant, the back that collapsed into a line suddenly sour and soft, and a few traces of unfinished expectations surfaced in hindsight, he held chopsticks, almost didn't dare to look at the person in the opposite seat, just lowered his head, his face was slightly red, and whispered: "I like to eat... Only... Just eat more..."
Si Qi didn't want to be polite to him, her sense of taste and esophagus were more honest than herself, and she had unceremoniously secreted a lot of saliva, looking at the seven bowls of noodles, she hesitated slightly, and finally chose her favorite ear noodles, cat ears are traditional noodles in Jinzhong, Shanxi, shaped like cat ears, small and exquisite, smooth and smooth, it can be described as beautiful and delicious, she used to love to go to Shanxi to eat ear noodles.
"Well... Is it delicious?" Shi Jing tried his best to suppress the expectation of a very calm inquiry, but his heart was half panic and half joy, even if he didn't ask, just by looking at his expression, he could see that Si Qi should be very satisfied, but he still couldn't help but want to ask in person.
Si Qi closed his eyes exaggeratedly and nodded solemnly.
"Really!" Shi Jing's eyes shone brightly, revealing childlike excitement and joy.
Si Qi smiled: "This is the best ear noodles I have ever tasted." ”
Shi Jing finally put his mind at ease, he picked a bowl of knife noodles, gently picked a chopstick, thought about it and said casually: "Today's time is a little rushed, and next time it may be better." ”
Next time?
Si Qi's hand that was picking noodles stiffened slightly, but soon returned to normal, she slowly put a chopstick noodle into her mouth, and her eyes swept over Shi Jing's face as if nothing happened, but unfortunately she could only see his white forehead and Wuzi's gently fluttering eyelashes.
Shi Jing didn't seem to notice her gaze, he still lowered his head slightly and ate noodles by himself, letting his hair cover his eyes, and making it impossible to see the look on his face, so that people couldn't tell whether this was a casual politeness or a sincere invitation, but his hand under the table was irrepressibly clenched into a fist, and his nails sank deep into his skin, betraying his seemingly calm but actually stirring up his nervous heart.
He is gambling, betting that Siqi should not embarrass him easily, so it is very likely that he will respond to this polite words that are suspected of being invited, she is such a person, kind to others, meticulous as a hair, considerate, as long as he is slightly uncomfortable in everything, she will definitely remember, he frowned slightly, she already understood his dislike, never let him be embarrassed, let alone let him perceive half of the discomfort.
That's why he has come to this situation step by step.
In this world, except for his parents, no one will pamper and tolerate another person without a bottom line, this truth Mo Wenlan has repeatedly warned him a long time ago, hoping that he can come out through his own efforts, he has worked hard for more than ten years and failed, even if he agrees to find someone to cooperate, he has no extravagant hopes, but he never expected that he would meet a person who is so tolerant of him, and even made him feel a little pampered.
For people in the dark, a glimmer of light is all hope, not to mention that the light she brings is as bright and brilliant as half a sun, which makes him can't help but feel delusional.
Sure enough, Si Qi hesitated, but still said the sentence he was extremely looking forward to: "Okay! Then I will definitely try it again next time." ”
Shi Jing was worried for a long time, waiting for this sentence, hearing this, he immediately raised his head, and answered in a tone that could not be refused: "Then tell me when you are free." ”
He originally wanted to talk about tomorrow, but between the lightning and the fire, he felt that he seemed too eager to make an appointment for tomorrow, and the words turned around on the tip of his tongue, and he still collected it, and he didn't dare to show his intentions too much.
Si Qi: "......"
Looking at Shi Jing, who had clear eyes and a solemn expression, she couldn't spit out that sentence of resignation no matter what, she was silent, she simply nodded in a broken jar, she had eaten it once, and she didn't mind one more time.
Shi Jing pursed the corners of his mouth, hiding his extremely excited excitement, and turned his head sideways to give Si Xiaojun noodles.
Probably because Shi Jing always used to look at her quietly with expectant eyes, looking forward to it while panicking, as if she wanted to judge whether the noodles were delicious or not from her expression, in order to express her satisfaction, and in order to make Shi Jing feel at ease, Si Qi ate two large bowls of noodles in a row, until her belly was round and her stomach protested, she finally put down the dishes and chopsticks, and shook it very unreservedly.
Looking at the other three bowls of noodles that had not been moved, Si Qi was silent for a moment and asked, "What about the rest?"
Shi Jing said while cleaning up: "I will eat slowly." ”
If he eats alone, I'm afraid he won't be able to finish it in a day, right?
And this noodle will definitely be a lump tomorrow, how can you eat it?
Touching his bulging little belly and looking at Shi Jing's seemingly satisfied face, Si Qi couldn't help but try to say, "Why don't I pack one and take it away?" Anyway, Wang Jing also likes to eat noodles, and it is better to pack it back to honor her old man than to leave it here for Shi Jing to deal with slowly!
Shi Jing was stunned and couldn't help asking, "Do you like to eat?"
Si Qi nodded and said with a smile: "You may not be able to finish eating tomorrow by yourself, so why don't I help you share some of it." After a pause, she added: "This noodle is really delicious." ”
Shi Jing stared at the noodles that were almost knotted, shook his head, and said, "It's all knotted, and it won't taste good when you pack it back." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not very particular about eating. Si Qi hurriedly waved his hand, making a picture that he really wanted to pack and take away.
Shi Jing was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "Then I'll help you pack." ”
Si Qi rolled up her sleeves and got up to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but she didn't expect Shi Jing to quickly put away the dishes and chopsticks in front of her, touched her nose and said, "You go and sit, you go and sit..." ”
Si Qi was stunned for a moment, looked at his uncomfortable expression, and slowly withdrew his hand, but still asked out of politeness: "You really don't need help?"
Shi Jing glanced at her quickly and shook his head.
All right!
Then she can't help it, it's not something she deliberately cheated on.
Maybe it's really as she thinks, people with social phobia don't like to be in the same room with others, because they will be very anxious about other people's eyes, once they find that others pay attention to themselves, they can't help but be unnatural, and even have a sense of depression like sitting on pins and needles, just like her, when they don't like to do things by themselves, there are still people watching, but she has learned to endure this discomfort through forced correction.
Slowly shook back to the living room, opened the coffee table cabinet, and put a cake of well-packaged tea in the front, it was a cake of raw pu, there was no price or anything, she thought of Shi Jing's recommendation, hesitated, or gently broke a piece to make tea.
Si Xiaojun followed up without hesitation, helped Shi Jing clean up the dining table, and then squeezed into the kitchen with a few pieces of colored paper, probably to accompany Shi Jing to clean up the battlefield.
Half an hour later, the big and the small two people were still locked in the kitchen, and the soundproofing in this villa was so good that the sound in the kitchen could not be heard in the living room.
Si Qi drank two pots of tea and finished the whole book, but he still didn't see the two people come out, and he felt strange.
After another ten minutes, she finally couldn't help but put down the teacup and swayed lightly to the kitchen.
I pushed the door and was locked by the back.
After a while, Si Xiaojun opened the door, revealing a small head: "Mom, Dad is making cat ears and has done a lot." ”
Si Qi thought that Shi Jing was folding cat headphones with colored paper, which was quite funny, and said while pushing the door: "You can't come out to fold... Why..."
On the cooking table, it was full of flour, Shi Jing was cutting the dough pieces into half a centimeter size, sprinkled with flour, pressing the dough blocks with his thumbs and pushing them forward, pressing them into the shape of cat ears, his movements were very fast, in the blink of an eye, the delicate and inexplicable cat ears were put aside by him, obviously on this road, he is a veteran.
Si Qi was stunned for two seconds before he reacted, and in an instant, his tongue seemed to be knotted, and the words he said were also stammering: "... How are you... It's not..."
Si Xiaojun quickly said: "Dad said Mommy, if you like to eat, he will make a little more so that we can take it away, so that when you want to eat, you can cook it directly." ”
Si Qi: "......"
She said that she wanted to pack it, but she just didn't want to waste food and didn't want him to eat leftovers!
For a while, her mind suddenly went blank, her whole thinking seemed to have stopped, her flexible tongue became an ornament, and the enthusiasm and cheerfulness that she had already used her skills seemed to have been frozen, she stood silently in place, staring at Shi Jing who didn't even raise her head and silently pinched the cat's ears, he lowered his head, his hair slightly blocked his eyes, his smooth forehead, and the straight bridge of his nose looked as good as a painting.
She was stunned, and inexplicably gushed out a sourness, as if the indestructible appearance was suddenly squeezed into a tube of fusion agent, and the surface of the steel-like heart was melted into a small gap, and a pool of warm spring water slowly flowed from the middle of the gap, soaking open the core that was tightly condensed into a ball and seemed to be frozen in ice, and the depths of her mind also seemed to be pulled by this warmth, revealing a subtle touch and softness.
She hadn't felt this way in a long, long time.
"I've already packed those two bowls of noodles for you, put them in a thermos bucket, you can take them back and eat them directly. Shi Jing glanced at her quickly, and lowered his head very quickly, "These haven't been cooked yet, I'll divide them into five small bags for you, one bag should be enough for you and Xiaojun to eat a meal, you take it back and put it in the freezer, take it out and thaw it first when you cook it, don't cook it directly, otherwise it will rot." ”
While sprinkling the finished cat ears with flour and packing them, he continued: "I also prepared some marinades and toppings for you, and you can take them back to stew, steam, and fry." ”
Si Qi looked at him, a thousand words, and finally only one sentence: "Oh good!"
