Chapter Seventy-Four: Tempura
That night, Gu Lance did not inform He Shenge and came back quietly.
He opened the door softly, and as he took off his shoes and entered the house, he caught a glimpse of a pair of flat shoes at the door, which were dirty and had cracked mud on them.
Did this woman go to the field to plant seedlings?
After coming in, he found that He Shenge fell asleep directly on the carpet at the sofa.
Gu Lance walked over and glanced at the computer on the table, the computer screen showed the WeChat public account comment area, he turned off the computer easily, and then gently hugged her horizontally.
Suddenly, she frowned and shrunk her arms.
After placing her on the bed, he carefully lifted the long sleeves of her pajamas and saw several faint reddish scratches on his arms.
Gu Yan stared at He Shenge's somewhat stubborn face, involuntarily reached out and stroked her hair, and said softly, "Have you suffered hardship?"
When He Shenge woke up, it was already noon, and she found herself lying on the bed, she immediately thought that Gu Lance was back, so she ran out, and sure enough, she saw Gu Lance working in the living room.
He closed the computer, didn't look up, and said in a calm voice: "Go brush your teeth, I'll prepare lunch." ”
He Shenge came out, and it happened that Gu Lance was holding two bowls of hot noodles on the dining table.
On the table, a plate of deep-fried golden assorted tempura sits in the center, and next to it is a small pink cherry blossom-shaped saucer with a sauce of shredded radish and ginger mixed with aged vinegar.
This will add two more bowls of Japanese ramen to the table.
He Shenge smelled a strong fragrance, and suddenly became energetic.
"Did you learn it in Japan?" He Shenge sat down, ready to eat.
Gu Lance brought a medicine box from the bookcase, and there was a slight sorrow between his eyebrows: "Apply the medicine and then take it." ”
Hearing this, He Shenge paused and put down his chopsticks.
Gu Qi pulled the stool next to her, rolled up her sleeves, and carefully wiped a cotton swab dipped in medicinal oil on the wound: "What happened to Guangxi?"
"That store is really a liar. ”
"Do you dare to faint for money next time?"
"Don't dare. ”
Gu Lance closed the medicine box: "Eat, the ramen noodles have just boiled, pay attention to the hot." ”
"En. He Shenge looked down at the noodles in the bowl, the Naruto roll on it was like a cat's belly swelling and contracting, and he still secretly took out his mobile phone to take pictures.
She sucked the hot dough into her mouth.
Gu Lance put a few shrimp from the tempura into his bowl: "The rest are vegetables and fruits, you eat those, and the shrimp are mine." ”
"Oh. ”
"Queen, should you give a comment?" the Furry looked at her expectantly.
"Yes, the noodles are very smooth, the soup is very sweet, I don't know what seasoning you added, I always feel that this soup has a trace of sourness, this half-cooked soft-boiled egg looks very good, the egg yolk is red like a sunset, it tastes good, it is not greasy, the meat is very soft, and the uncle's next effort is finally not a clear soup with a few green vegetables. ”
When Gu Lance heard this, he couldn't stop laughing: "That's, I'm ready to open a restaurant." ”
"Just listen to your nonsense. He Shenge sandwiched a piece of fried golden tempura and dipped it in the sauce, took a bite, and chewed it: "It's fried crispy, the breadcrumbs on it are good, the pumpkin in it tastes soft, soft and hard, and after chewing a few bites, there will be the sweetness of pumpkin, this tempura is good." ”
"You keep eating, and guess what's in it. ”
She took another piece and tasted it: "This is a horned melon." ”
"Asparagus. ”
"It's still pumpkins. ”
"Sweet potato. ”
"Little eggplant. ”
……
After a while, the two finally put down their chopsticks.
He Shenge touched his round belly and asked with a smile: "Uncle, the Japanese ramen just now is delicious, I want to post on Weibo, can you wash the dishes?"
"Lazy!" Gu Lance didn't move: "Rest first." ”
"By the way, you didn't tell me just now, why is there a sour taste in the soup?" He Shenge edited the Weibo content.
"When I was boiling the soup base, I added bamboo shoots, and later, I secretly scooped up the bamboo shoots and fried them with the vegetables on the tempura, this ramen is called Asahikawa Ramen, Asahikawa has a long history of ramen, and every summer there is a ramen festival, which is usually made with barbecued pork, green onions, bamboo shoots, Naruto rolls, soft-boiled eggs, and a thick layer of lard. ”
"yes, I just saw that layer of oil, and I didn't drink much soup. ”
"At this time of winter, the soup is easy to get cold, if there is a layer of hot oil, it can keep warm, you drink more, save the heat in your body, and these days it starts to get colder. ”
"Next time, I'm really full now. ”
"I'll take a vacation tomorrow and do it again for you. Gu Lance got up and cleaned up the dishes.
He Shenge's eyes moved away from the screen of his mobile phone and looked up at Gu Qi: "Uncle, I need to go home, because materials such as household registration books and local certificates are required to apply for a business license." ”
"When will you go back?"
"Tomorrow. ”
"Hmm. Gu Qi washed the dishes and suddenly asked, "When will you come back?"
"Come back?" He Shenge thought for a while: "It should be the Spring Festival, after all, it's almost the New Year, my mother estimates that I will go home and visit relatives everywhere, which is very troublesome." ”
"What's the trouble?"
"It's a blind date, seven aunts and eight mothers-in-law, they are all introducing this to you, what kind of bachelor's degree, or that home is close, it's convenient to go back to your parents' home, hey. ”
"Go back and tell them that you have me. ”
"Nope. He Shenge said resolutely: "If they know that I have a boyfriend, it will be terrifying, and you will be annoyed to death by them sometimes." ”
"En. Gu Lance didn't say much, just quietly washed the dishes.
He Shenge was busy replying to fans and didn't speak again.
The next day, He Shenge didn't see Gu Lance, only two glutinous rice buns and a cup of soy milk on the dinner table.
When she packed her bags and was about to leave, Gu Lance returned.
"I thought you were suddenly off again and going back to work. He Shenge was carrying a big schoolbag and his eyes were bright.
"Went out and bought something. Gu Lance pulled her suitcase away: "Have you brought all your things?"
"Bring it all. ”
"Wait. The ancient lance went back to the house, walked around, and came out again.
After entering the elevator, the floor of the ancient lance press is the first floor.
He Shenge thought he had pressed the wrong button and pressed the first floor again.
On the first floor, the elevator door opened, and He Shenge was about to step out, when Gu Lance reached out and grabbed her backpack and pulled her back.
He Shenge looked back suspiciously: "Uncle, what are you doing?"
"The car was in the parking lot. ”
"Oh. He Shenge thought that he had made an appointment with the Didi driver in advance.
When he got into an Audi that looked brand new and smelled of a new car, He Shenge put on his seat belt and asked the Gu Lance who was driving: "Uncle, who did you borrow the new car from? ”
"My car. ”
She was stunned and a little surprised: "Uncle, don't you buy a car?"
"I didn't say I wouldn't buy it. Gu Qi's eyes kept staring at the road ahead, and said quietly: "It's still a long time before I get to your house, you go to sleep first, or eat something, I put Japanese sweets in the cabinet over there, as well as red hat biscuits, Mont Blanc chocolate truffles, Fujiya lollipops, seaweed, and some small snacks brought back from Japan." ”
"En. ”
On the way home, He Shenge was chewing curry fairy shellfish in his mouth, as if he suddenly remembered something, and immediately looked at Gu Lance: "Uncle, are you sending me home?"
"Knowingly asked. "Gu Lance really wants to scold her for not being a pig's head.
He Shen was holding the bag of Sapporo curry senbei, and his expression was as desperate as five thunders.
Desperate, she immediately dialed home.
It was his younger brother He Shenqi who answered the phone: "Sister, are you coming back?"
"How do you know?"
"Call me if it's okay, you call Mom now, you must be home." ”
"I don't want to talk to you, Mom?"
"I went to sea with my father. ”
"Oh. He Shenge bit his lip: "Qilin, when my mother comes home, you tell my mother that there are guests tonight, cook more." ”
"Oh, my brother-in-law is going to come to the door to propose, I know, I'll go to the beach now and tell my mother. ”
"Don't ......."
Toot toot.
He Shenge felt a faint pain in his head, according to what she knew about her brother, this guy could spread this matter throughout the village on the way to the beach.
She turned her head, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Uncle, if you don't send me to town later, you can go back, and I'll let my dad pick me up." ”
"Didn't you mean to invite me to dinner at your house?"
"I'm afraid that if you go back, it will be dark. ”
"Don't be afraid, there is a light. ”
After a moment of silence, Gu Qi asked a little unhappily: "I sent you home all the way, you won't even give me a glass of water to drink, right?"
"Why, if you're not afraid of being late for work tomorrow, I'll take you to Shantou food. ”
"Okay, then I'll take a leave of absence. ”
"Are you really here?" He Shenge's eyes widened.
Gu Lance looked serious: "Otherwise?"
More than four hours later, the silver-gray Audi finally stopped in front of a three-story residential building.
He Shenge went around to the trunk of the car and took out the suitcase, while Gu Lance's hand picked up the four red gift boxes next to him and a few bags of red environmental protection bags that he didn't know what they contained.
He Shenqi, who was wearing dark green sweatpants and black long sleeves, came out to help carry things, and when he saw Gu Qi, he shouted familiarly: "Hello brother-in-law, I am He Shenqi, nicknamed Qilin." ”
"Well, this one was bought for you. Gu Lance stretched out the two red bags over.
He Shenqi opened it and looked at it, revealing a look of surprise: "Thank you, brother-in-law." ”
He Shenge next to him frowned, and asked him in a low voice, "Why did you buy something for my brother?"
"The first time I came to the door, you asked me to behave. A smile hung into the corner of Gu Lance's mouth.
In the next second, He Shenge's mother walked out: "Gege, this is your boyfriend?"
Gu Lance immediately straightened his back and smiled: "Hello, Auntie." ”
"Hello, hello, you still look like a talent, ouch, why did you bring something here, don't bring it next time, come, give the things to the unicorn, the family has prepared a meal, go in and eat." ”
He Shenge's mother transferred the things in Gu Li's hand to He Shenqi, and hurriedly persuaded Gu Qi to enter the house, for fear that he would run away.
"Mom. He Shenge, who was ignored, shouted.
"What are you doing?" He Shenge's mother turned her head and whispered to her: "Your father is still angry with you, you should think about how to explain it to him." ”
Stepping into the threshold, Gu Lance saw a room full of people, even though he had seen many big scenes, he was inexplicably a little nervous.
He couldn't help but reach out and hold He Shenge's hand.
He Shenge noticed Gu Qi's nervousness and snickered: "Uncle, you are a bit like an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her in-laws." ”
"Nonsense, I'm obviously very handsome!" Gu Lance calmly led her, came to the front of the hall, and bowed slightly politely: "Uncles and aunts, hello, I am Shen Ge's boyfriend, my name is Gu Lance." ”
The man sitting in the center of the hall had a calm and serious face, and his voice was loud and powerful: "Shen Ge, you go back to the room first, Mr. Gu, come over and have a cup of tea." ”
