Chapter 22 Home Essentials, Good Gifts for Relatives and Friends!
"How much does it cost?"
Jiang Lai came back to her senses and saw Li Zechen looking at her with a handful of oily wheat vegetables in his hand, with a question in his eyes.
"Oh, wash more, Joey loves to eat!"
Li Zechen nodded and rinsed it under the faucet.
Slender and powerful, bony fingers scrub away the mud and sand little by little in the water!
It didn't feel like he was washing vegetables, but like he was massaging them.
The rolled up cuffs reveal a large section of the sleek arms, which look even fairer in the light of the royal blue shirt.
The skin is so good!
Whether it's clothes, it just doesn't feel like his taste!
Bah!
Jiang Lai, you are actually observing, more than looking!
And so carefully observed!
He shook the kitchen knife in his hand and continued to chop vegetables.
didn't see the corners of Li Zechen's mouth curt.
"How much do you wash enoki mushrooms?"
"Where's the lotus root?"
"Where's the lettuce?"
……
The first two Jianglai can still be said, but the latter ......
She could only put down the kitchen knife: I'll ask the two of them!"
Jiang Lai turned around and walked to the kitchen door and asked the two people sitting on the sofa playing games, "Do you like lettuce?"
And then, no one responded!
After a few seconds, Joey suddenly turned around: "Lylai, what did you say?"
Jiang Lai repeated: "Do you eat lettuce?"
"Eat!"
"Where's the lotus root?"
After a few more seconds, Joey turned around: "Uh-huh, eat!"
"What about enoki mushrooms?"
Joey, who had just "hung up", turned around in a second: "Eat, come more!"
Jiang Lai's eyes glanced at Ji Yunfei, and Joey pushed him: "Ask you!
Ji Yunfei is at a critical stage, and he is about to run out of blood, and he said: "Eat and eat, eat any mushroom!"
"Do idiots eat or not?"
"Eat, eat, eat!"
Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows, he was in the set too fast, it was really boring!
Just as he was about to turn around, he heard Ji Yunfei's second half of the sentence, "You two just decide for yourself!"
Jiang Lai looked back at Li Zechen sharply.
His expression didn't change, but she knew he heard it too!
Jiang Lai's face heated up in a second, and he was extremely embarrassed.
She glared at the "culprit" fiercely, as if she wanted to make a hole in his back.
In my heart, I have already given Ji Yunfei all the big punishments I have seen before writing costume dramas.
Until the sound of chopping vegetables came from behind him.
Jiang Lai turned around and saw Li Zechen cutting lotus root slices.
Hurry up and walk over.
"I'll do it!"
How can you let the guests who come to eat do it!
Li Zechen's movements in his hand didn't stop, and he turned his head to look at her: "The lotus root slices are not easy to cut, I'll just come!"
Looking at his neat movements, he should also be able to cook, and the thickness of the cut lotus root slices is almost the same.
Looking at the thin and thick white radish slices she had cut on the plate next to her, Jiang Lai sighed lightly.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing!"
Li Zechen continued the movements in his hands: "If you have anything to say, just say it!"
"No, I just think the lotus root slices you cut are very neat!"
"Neat?" Li Zechen looked at the lotus root slices that had just been put on the plate, and naturally saw the dishes cut by Jiang Lai, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Jiang Lai was embarrassed.
"My mother is a doctor, so she wants me to study medicine, and when I was a child, she often threw me a piece of meat for me to cut, or a piece of pork skin for me to sew up!"
"When you were a child?"
Li Zechen thought for a while, "It's probably when I'm five or six years old!"
Jiang Lai's mind immediately conjured up a picture of a five- or six-year-old child stepping on a small stool and slicing meat one by one.
Sure enough, the parents of big stars are not ordinary people, and they began to cultivate their children's abilities at such a young age.
When I was five or six years old, I was probably still playing with my children.
This is probably to let the child win at the starting line!
"Unfortunately, it backfired, not only did it not interest me in medicine, but it avoided the kitchen. ”
But...... It doesn't look like that now!
However, Li Zechen turned his head to look at her, "It seems that I'm a little interested in cooking now!"
Under the bright light of the kitchen, his good-looking eyes flashed with tiny dots of light, which were amazingly bright!
Jiang Lai faintly felt that there was something in his words, but he didn't dare to think about it.
"That's good, do it yourself, have enough food and clothing!"
Li Zechen nodded: "That makes sense! So you often cook by yourself?"
"It's almost, I only did it occasionally when I worked before, but after writing novels full-time, eating takeout was always hot, so I started doing it myself!"
In fact, the most important point is that because I always eat takeout and don't exercise, I have gained a few pounds.
At that time, Jiang's mother learned of Jiang Lai's weight on the phone and was surprised: "How can you be so fat?"
was complained about by his mother, and Jiang Lai was depressed for several days.
Father Jiang specially called to comfort her, and also told her not to skip meals because she was fat!
Jiang Lai almost didn't cry, is it biological!
However, the problem of "fat" still needs to be solved.
So Jiang Lai decisively gave up takeout and cooked by himself.
Then follow the weight loss video on the Internet and move for 20 minutes a day to successfully lose weight.
Of course, I can't say anything about this.
"Ahem!"
Suddenly there was a pretentious cough at the door.
As soon as Jiang Lai turned around, he was startled when he saw the two people who were eavesdropping at the door, and subconsciously retreated.
His wrist slammed directly into the edge of the sink.
"Ahh
Jiang Lai screamed softly, rubbing his wrist and frowning.
As soon as I rubbed it twice, my hand was pulled over.
"Are you alright?"
Li Zechen saw that her wrists were slightly red, and her brows were furrowed.
Jiang Lai was already dumbfounded, and could only let Li Zechen grab his hand to check.
The temperature of the place he held rose sharply, and it was amazingly hot.
The hot sensation spread down his arms and all over his body.
"Did you hit it somewhere?"
"I didn't ...... Nope!"
The two people at the door in the afterglow were also stunned and frightened.
Jiang Lai felt like he was about to get hot.
Gently pulled his hand back: "I...... I'm really fine!"
Li Zechen finally raised his head to look at Jiang Lai, who was blushing so much that he couldn't do it, and noticed her nervousness and shyness.
Glancing at the two people at the door, in the eyes of the three people, he calmly let go of Jiang Lai's hand.
"It's okay, or you won't be able to eat this meal again. ”
In the end, he is used to seeing big scenes, and his emotions change very naturally.
Jiang Lai can't!
She just wants to find a place to cool off now, it's too hot!
"I'm going to put the base material away!"
Finally thought of a reason, Jiang Lai didn't dare to look at Li Zechen, turned around and walked outside.
Passing by the two people watching the play, he pulled it away directly and walked out.
Li Zechen glanced at the two people at the door lightly and continued to process the ingredients.
This glance made Ji Yunfei, who wanted to tease a few words, feel cold on his neck.
Turned around and obediently went out.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Joey also went out and arrested another person.
Jiang Lai "escaped" all the way to the balcony.
Desperately fanning himself with his hands to cool himself down.
It's not summer yet, why is it so hot outside, not even the wind!
Suddenly, there was a pat on the shoulder.
Jiang Lai trembled in fright.
When I turned around, it was Joey with an ambiguous smile.
Jiang Lai glared at her: "Why don't you make a sound when you walk?"
"There's a voice, it's just that you're too engrossed!"
"I don't know what you're talking about!"
Joey hugged her: "I still want to deny it, I have seen it with my own eyes, not only me, but also a witness!"
As soon as she said this, the temperature on Jiang Lai's face that had just dropped rose again.
"I haven't said you yet! If you hadn't eavesdropped on that Ji Yunfei at the door and suddenly made a noise, would I have been so frightened that I kowtowed?"
Joey sighed and pinched her face: "We listened openly, and you didn't close the door to let us listen." And we didn't let Li Zechen grab your hand!"
Jiang Lai covered Joey's mouth and threatened without much strength: "Don't mention it again!"
Joey broke free and clasped his hands around his chest: "What can you do if you don't mention it?
Jiang Lai wanted to beat her, but he was afraid that the movement would be too loud, so the people inside would hear it, so he lowered his voice and said, "Believe it or not, I'll leave you alone at home tonight!"
Joey raised his hand in surrender: "Okay, okay, I won't say it! But Lailai, don't you really feel it?"
Although Joey didn't say it explicitly, Jiang Lai understood what she meant.
Can't feel it?
She's not wood.
No matter how sluggish you are, you can detect a little clue.
It is not the same thing to perceive and think about this possibility and then believe in this possibility.
She wasn't a brave person in the first place.
The original crush cost her too much courage, but in the end, she was almost driven into a desperate situation without even having a chance to speak.
She no longer dared to gamble on an unknown with her sincerity.
Seeing that Jiang Lai's mood was wrong, Joey didn't dare to joke anymore.
"Okay, don't think about it. Let's go in, you said you wanted to put the base, but you came here!"
When I entered, the table was already set!
The water in the pot began to steam white.
When Ji Yunfei saw them, he hurriedly beckoned: "Come here quickly, the water is going to boil!"
Joey pressed Jiang Lai into a chair and sat down next to her.
Li Zechen put the last plate of shrimp on the table and sat down diagonally opposite Jiang Lai.
A small accident just now made the atmosphere a little quiet to the point of embarrassment.
Neither of the parties spoke.
Joey gave Ji Yunfei a look.
Ji Yunfei comprehended, pointed to the boiling and said: "Jiang Lai, why is it clear soup? Eating hot pot should be so spicy that it sheds tears, and it is refreshing to eat!"
Joey held his forehead, he really shouldn't have believed him!
Jiang Lai raised his eyes, looked at him, and suddenly hooked his lips and smiled: "Like spicy food?"
Although Ji Yunfei felt that her smile was a bit like the person next to him, he still relaxed his vigilance a little and nodded.
"Of course, the spicier the better!"
Jiang Lai got up and walked to the kitchen!
Joey shook his head in disgust.
Li Zechen glanced at him and didn't speak.
Ji Yunfei felt inexplicable.
Until Jiang Lai returned.
"Smack!"
There was an extra bottle of what looked like sauce in front of him, red.
"Do you know?"
Ji Yunfei shook his head.
Jiang Lai patiently popularized knowledge for him: "This is Lao Gan Ma, oil chili pepper, elegant and delicate, salty and spicy!"
"Smack!"
Another glass bottle.
"This is Korean chili paste. ”
"Smack!"
The third glass bottle.
"This is my mother's chili meat sauce, slightly spicy and salty. ”
"Smack!"
The last glass bottle.
Ji Yunfei spoke first: "I know this, chili noodles!"
Jiang Lai nodded: "Congratulations, you got it right! It's chili noodles!"
"So, why give it to me?"
Jiang Lai asked with a knowing expression: "Isn't it that you want to eat spicy food? It is also so spicy that it sheds tears! These four kinds are all must-haves at home and good products for relatives and friends." You can pick any of them, or mix them together, but you just don't know how it tastes!"
Joey couldn't hold it anymore and laughed out loud.
Li Zechen also silently hooked the corners of his lips.
Ji Yunfei finally understood: "Jiang Lai, you are retaliating!"
"It's your own request, I didn't mean not to make red soup, I really can't eat too spicy.
"Joey has just been discharged from the hospital, and he can't eat spicy food! You are the only one of the four people at this table who wants to eat spicy food! Of course, I have to prepare a dipping sauce for you alone. ”
Ji Yunfei opened his mouth to protest: "This ......"
"Oh, by the way," Jiang Lai interrupted him, took out another small bag and slid it in front of him, "After all, you are in these ingredients...... The assistant bought some of it, so he gave a special Haidilao dipping sauce, which was spicy. ”
"Hahaha......"
Joey couldn't help it.
Ji Yunfei opened his mouth, looked at Jiang Lai's very official smile, and finally held back a sentence: "Thank you, it's really thoughtful!"
Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows: "You're welcome!"
I finally breathed a sigh of relief, and my mood was much smoother.
Even most of the heat just now dissipated.
It's just that the moment he touched Li Zechen's gaze, he couldn't help but dodge it for a second.
Naturally, he didn't notice the dark color under Li Zechen's eyes.
During the meal, Joey talked about Lin Yang again when the reporter broke the news.
"Lailai, do you know who Lin Yang's girlfriend is?"
"Who?"
Jiang Lai finally caught a ball.
Joey flipped out the Weibo page and put it in Jiang Lai's hand.
Jiang Lai just bit the ball and glanced at it.
The balls were empty, and the soup that flowed out burned my tongue.
She inhaled lightly and picked up her phone.
"How could it be her? Isn't she Sun Bin's girlfriend?"
"What's so surprising about this, do you think that she and Sun Bin are true love together?"
Ji Yunfei asked curiously, "Who?"
Joey ate a piece of duck blood and slurred in her mouth, "In Laylay's words, she should be a person who struggles to find a way to embody her worth." Just look at Weibo. ”
Ji Yunfei really opened Weibo to see, "Who is this person?
Joy was happy: "Then it seems that she hasn't worked hard enough!"
Jiang Lai flipped through the news, which was even more bloody than the novels she had written.
Seeing that Jiang Lai was still watching, Joey asked her, "What do you want to say?"
"The blood in life is more exciting than the TV series!"
Joey nodded appreciatively.
"So that's it!"
Ji Yunfei suddenly said excitedly as if he had discovered a new continent.
Jiang Lai and Joey glanced at each other, this person's reflex arc is super long standby.
Ji Yunfei showed a weird smile: "I know the inside story!"
After speaking, he glanced at Li Zechen next to him.
It was as if to say, "Ask me, ask me, I know a lot!"
