Chapter Twenty-Seven: Lemon Chicken
A cool breeze blew through the cracks in the window into the somewhat stuffy kitchen.
He Shenge's slender fingers rubbed back and forth the petal-patterned glass bowl containing diced apples: "Well, I believe in uncle, how can he be abducted so easily?"
Dooku next to him touched his nose and didn't speak.
The crisp ringing of the doorbell interrupted their conversation.
"It should be the chicken that has arrived. Xu Qing was placing the fried steak on a plate inlaid with a gold-rimmed pink rose, and she hurriedly said, "Shen Ge, can you go and get it for me?"
"Okay. ”
He Shenge put the diced apples aside, and when she went to the door to get the chicken, she passed by the living room, she glanced at the ancient lance a few times, he was holding a teacup in one hand, and the mouse in the other hand, his eyes were tightly locked on the computer screen, occasionally picking up the mobile phone, and he didn't know who to call.
She retracted her gaze and took a white transparent bag from the courier's hand, which contained a chicken that had been stripped naked to reveal its white skin, and there was a little red blood under the plastic bag, which seemed to have been delivered to the door not long after it was killed.
On the way back to the kitchen, she still chose to walk to the ancient lance and carry the teapot.
Gu Lance, who was talking on the phone, was stunned for a moment, and the hand that was pressing the mouse stopped, and he raised his eyes to look at He Shenge.
She happened to look at him.
He Shenge smiled lightly: "I'll make you another pot, you continue to be busy." ”
"Hmm. Gougai lowered his eyelids and pretended to be looking at the computer.
The scene just now has been haunting Gu Lance's mind, making him a little uneasy.
He Shenge is wearing a V-neck light gray satin-like silky dress today, which fits the figure very well, showing the graceful posture of a woman, especially the skirt only reaches the thighs, revealing the snow-white and slender legs, her dark brown long hair is slightly curled, casually draped, when she bends down to take the teapot, it just hangs down, and behind the golden waterfall is the faintly visible white collarbone and half of the chest.
In fact, he suddenly realized that He Shenge's outfit today is different from when he lived with him, when he lived with him, He Shenge wore shorts and a wide T-shirt, which always gave him the illusion of living with boys, and today she is dressed casually with some sexiness.
After a while, He Shenge came out with the teapot in his hand, quietly put the teapot aside, and then quietly returned to the kitchen.
He Shenge didn't know that in the ten seconds when she turned around and went back to the kitchen, Gu Lance was sitting on the sofa, staring at her back with burning eyes, until her figure disappeared into the orange-yellow wall, he moved his eyes to the teapot, calmly picked up the teapot, and found that what was poured out was a rich and burnt coffee.
It just so happened that he needed a pick-me-up at the moment.
After returning to the kitchen, Du Ku was cutting chicken and Xu Qing was cutting lemon, and the picture looked very harmonious.
He Shenge came to Xu Qing's side and picked up a knife and lemon: "Didn't you say that you were cooking Western food?"
"That's right. Xu Qing put the cut lemon into the blender: "Some time ago, when we were in the United States, I saw that Kutou wanted to eat the lemon chicken in the NC restaurant, but because of the budget, I never ate it, just some time ago, a friend in the United States sent me a box of pink lemons, I wanted to try it." ”
"Oh. He Shenge asked strangely: "Then why don't you just buy chicken yesterday?"
"Yesterday you said that the refrigerated chicken is sour, and I have a customer who makes it in the market, so I will call him and send a freshly killed chicken over, so that it will be fresher. ”
Hearing this, He Shenge looked at Du Ku: "Kutou, Xu Qing is really good to you." ”
Duku was sweating and cutting the chicken, and his mouth complained: "When she was in the United States, she wanted to take the opportunity to see her friend, which was the lemon chicken she ate at the NC restaurant, and I retouched her pictures at McDonald's outside the restaurant, and I carried a bunch of camera equipment on my back by myself, running to the attractions, if she didn't compensate me, I would have to cut off the master-apprentice relationship with her." ”
"Won't I make it up to you now?" Xu Qing's smiling face was like a blooming rose, with a shy pink in the brightness.
In about an hour, Xu Qing made the lemon chicken, and Doku mixed it with pink lemon and Budweiser into a new beer, saying that it was an imitation of lemon tequila.
Before the food was about to be served, He Shenge hurriedly rushed out and informed Gu Li: "It's ready to eat, you clean up the table." ”
After a while, He Shenge and Du Ku came out with freshly baked Western food.
The top carved out of the rock is light yellow with some milky white lines, and the saucer carved with roses or pure green is placed on it, as if it is a flower growing from the rock.
The tabletop, which is 1.6 meters long and 90 meters wide, is lined with five dishes and one soup, including vegetable and fruit salad, chicken with lemon, vinyl sirloin steak, pan-fried cuttlefish, pasta with shrimp and tomatoes, and cheese soup with carrots and white bamboo shoots.
The four of them looked at the food on the table and fell silent for a few seconds.
"Let's celebrate first, congratulations to Shenge for finding a very good house. Dooku lifted his beer, his face excited.
"Congratulations. The ancient lance also took advantage of the situation to raise a glass.
The four of them clinked glasses, and except for Xu Qing, the other three began to taste the Western food made by Xu Qing.
Dooku first cut a piece of steak, took a bite, then cut a few more pieces, and continued to stuff it in his mouth, his cheeks bulging.
"Is it delicious?" Xu Qing stared at Duku a little timidly.
"Delicious. Duku chewed food in his mouth, said indistinctly, raised his hands holding knives and forks, and gave Xu Qing a thumbs up.
Suddenly, Xu Qingyang smiled.
"I'm stupid, I can only say it's delicious. After Du Ku swallowed the food, he took a breath and said, "Isn't Shen Ge a food blogger?
"Shen Ge, are you a food blogger?" Xu Qing asked in surprise.
"It's moving in that direction. ”
"Then why did you come to our company?" Xu Qing glanced at Gu Qi: "It won't be for Gu Da, right?"
"It's not. He Shenge paused when he saw Gu Lance cutting steak, and quickly explained: "Uncle suggested that I learn new media marketing first, after all, I don't know much about the Internet." ”
"Oh. Xu Qing was skeptical of this set of rhetoric: "That Shen Ge, you quickly evaluate me, is what I do delicious, and what needs to be improved?"
"Good. He Shenge tasted the steak first: "This kind of steak bought back is marinated in sauce in advance, so the black pepper flavor is very strong, bite down, what flows out of the meat is the flavor of the sauce, and the umami of the beef itself is gone, which is quite suitable for people who don't like the taste of beef." ”
"Then I'll buy that fresh beef in the future. Xu Qing took out a small notebook and wrote it down.
Seeing her serious expression, He Shenge and the others were a little surprised.
"Look at your posture, you don't want to be a designer anymore?" asked Dooku.
Xu Qing shook his head: "I like to make food, but I just joined the company and have little time to do it." ”
Dooku realized: "No wonder you usually go home after work and don't go to dinner with others." ”
"It just so happened that I met Shen Ge when I attended a dinner, and Shen Ge is a person who can eat. Xu Qing said happily: "On the weekend, I can make food for Shen Ge." ”
"Eh, don't forget about us if there's something delicious. Duku put his hand on Gu Qi's shoulder and gave Gu Qi a wink: "Yes, Gu Da." ”
"Hmm. Gu Qi's tone was a little cold, and he didn't seem to be happy.
He thought to himself, assuming that Xu Qing can cook a lot of delicious food, according to He Shenge's temperament of liking food, in the future, if he and He Shenge can run in emotionally, it will be difficult for him to live with He Shenge again, it seems that agreeing to let He Shenge go that day was a wrong decision.
He Shenge didn't care about their conversation, and only focused on eating.
She took a piece of cuttlefish, chewed a few bites, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly patted Xu Qing's shoulder: "This fried cuttlefish is very good, the surface looks crispy, your knife skills are okay, the pattern cut out is very beautiful, it can let the sauce penetrate into it, and when you eat it, the meat is fat and soft, and it is very chewy, the taste is sweet, and there is a trace of bitter and fragrant aftertaste." ”
"I didn't cut it, I cut it from Kutou. Xu Qing explained.
"It is worthy of being a master and apprentice, and the cooperation is good. Gu Yan had an inexplicable smile on his lips, and said: "Why don't you have a weekend dinner in the future, Xu Qing will be the head chef, Kutou will be the assistant chef, and Shen Ge and I will be responsible for eating." ”
Duku took a sip of wine and said in a dissatisfied tone: "We contribute, so are you responsible for paying the bill?"
"Yes. ”
Hearing Gu Li's readily agreed, He Shenge next to him was under the table and pinched his thigh with his hand.
She is a bankrupt herself, Gu Lance actually found a place for her to spend money, it was obviously a housewarming banquet, she was stunned by Du Ku and Gu Lance chatting and chatting turned into a weekend dinner, she also planned to go out on the weekend to find food, Gu Lance Isn't this just to disrupt her original plan?
The pain from his thigh made Gu Lance's mind sober up for a while, and he immediately smiled and said, "You two just think about beauty, the two of us have money and go on dates elsewhere, and we can't date with the two of you all day long." ”
"Oh, that's sour. Du Ku ate a piece of lemon chicken, frowned and sandwiched a piece of lemon chicken to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing understood, and said while eating: "It's too sour." ”
"Really?" He Shenge smiled, and also followed a piece: "The chicken is fried crispy, and after being dipped in lemon juice, it is a little sour in the fresh sweetness, and it is not very sour, isn't the pink lemon itself sweet?"
"Oh, yes, it's so sweet. Duku took another bite and said to Xu Qing, "However, it's quite delicious." ”
"Eat more if it's delicious, why is there so much nonsense!" Gu Lance glanced at Duku.
While he was eating happily, Gu Lance's mobile phone rang loudly, and he got up and went to the balcony to answer it.
"Gu Lance, the people sent by the United States are going to the airport, you go and pick them up. The president on the other end of the phone ordered directly.
Gu Lance looked through the floor-to-ceiling window, glanced sideways at He Shenge, who was smiling and chatting with Xu Qing Duku, and refused: "Reson, I'll ask someone else to pick it up." ”
"No, that Yuan Yunshu, doesn't he know you? or an alumnus of the same school, you go, I don't worry about others, that's it, I have a party here, don't talk about it." ”
After the president simply explained the matter, he hung up the phone, and Gu Yi was not allowed to argue.
Gu Lance held up his mobile phone and looked at He Shenge's side face, feeling a little complicated.
After hesitating for a while, he slowly put down his phone and walked into the living room.
In the living room, He Shenge drank the soup, quietly glanced at the Gu Lance, and saw that he hung up the phone, so he hurriedly picked up the Gu Lance's bowl and scooped him a bowl of soup.
Gu Lance looked at the bowl of pure white soup with some red in front of He Shenge, his eyes moved away, and he said with a little weakness: "I don't drink anymore, the company has something to do, I'll go back." ”
As he spoke, he picked up the computer bag on the couch and quickly loaded the computer.
Du Ku and Xu Qing looked at each other, looked at He Shenge who was lonely, and wanted to hold the Gu Lance, but the Gu Lance closed the door and left without looking back.
"Shen Ge, tell me quickly, is this soup delicious?" Xu Qing held He Shen Ge's hand and asked with a smile.
He Shenge turned his head and held up a smile: "It's delicious, it's very sweet." ”
Subsequently, He Shenge didn't have a long comment, and drank with his head down, and the scene fell into a dull mood for a while.
"Xu Qing, your TV is good, it's so big, it should be very good to watch a movie. Dooku figured out how to adjust the atmosphere.
"Then let's watch a movie, shall we?" Xu Qing turned on the TV.
The latest news bulletin appeared on the huge TV screen, and the headline was very eye-catching: "Mr. Shen of the Harry Group fired the first shot of food and was a complete success." ”
He Shenge glanced at it inadvertently, but the moment he saw the title, his eyes became a little flustered.
"The Harry Group seems to have been expanding its business recently, and their Shenzhen food VLOG is very popular on major video websites. Xu Qing saw He Shenge staring at the news headline, thinking that she was interested, so he discussed it.
"Hey, this guy looks familiar. Du Ku thought for a while, turned his head and asked He Shenge: "Shenge, is this the man we met in the desert?"
"Hmm. ”
"Really? What a coincidence. Du Ku's voice became quieter, for fear that others would hear it: "A few days ago, I heard the president's secretary say that the president went to Shenzhen a few days ago to have dinner with Mr. Shen of the Harry Group, and it seems that he was having dinner with him. ”
