He opened his eyes as the early morning sun shone through the window on Qi An's face. There is no ordinary person who struggles to open his eyes in the morning, it seems that his eyes are always adapting to the changes in the environment, whether the light is strong or faint.

At the beginning of a new day, Qi An simply washed up and then changed his clothes and went out.

And it was not even seven o'clock.

Of course, Qi An didn't get up so early for work or anything, he just deliberately set aside time for breakfast.

Some people may only need ten minutes to eat breakfast, but for Qi An, breakfast is generally made quickly, the ingredients are simple, and it is rare that it tastes delicious.

There's no reason not to take the time to treat food like this?

As I walked, I remembered the meal that the Xu family had last night. Qi An sighed that a stingy woman really can't be messed with.

Obviously he was fine in the company, and he didn't show the slightest problem after returning to Xu's house, but after serving the table, he frequently poured him wine, as if he wanted to get him drunk and then do something to him.

Even if Xu Anguo kept holding Xu Wanqing, Liang Zhen kept holding her hand, and she took the time to fill him with a cup and let him drink it.

Qi An guessed that maybe she was still in a bad mood when she said to herself when she read the novel with color, so she wanted to make a fool of herself?

It's just that Qi An smiled, swiped his mobile phone and dialed Xu Wanqing.

No one answered. It seems that a stingy woman also needs to have a good amount of alcohol. Xu Wanqing is afraid that she is still lying in bed and falling asleep.

Xu Wanqing's abacus was very good, and she wanted to get herself drunk, but unfortunately she met herself, and in turn she got drunk.

opened the photo album on her phone and clicked on a video, which Qi An recorded while she was drunk.

The drunk Xu Wanqing looked unusually well-behaved, but grabbed his arm motionlessly, Xu Anguo and Liang Zhen tried to let her go several times, but she slapped her back with her hand.

In the end, Qi An picked her up and sent her to her bed, she felt the softness of the bed, turned over and fell asleep on her stomach.

In the video, Xu Wanqing is snoring softly and sleepily. The sideburns are messy, the cheeks are red, and the face looks a little like a sleeping beauty, and at first glance, the sleeping posture looks like a restless little female leopard.

Even if the hunter let the baby leopard in the trap go, she still lingered at the hunter's door all day long. Whenever the hunter opens the door, the baby leopard pounces affectionately, wags her tail and licks the hunter's face with her tongue.

Although Xu Wanqing was not so excessive, she hugged Qi An's waist and didn't let go, whenever Qi An was about to do it, she would hum threateningly like a little female leopard.

Xu Anguo was almost furious at that scene, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was Qi An and Liang Zhen stopped him, Lao Xu would have to give his daughter a board to let his daughter know that he knew about the Xu family's tutor.

Although Qi An didn't say anything, he was also a little helpless, so he had to take out his mobile phone and record all Xu Wanqing's movements. After half an hour, Xu Wanqing fell asleep, and he was able to get out of the room and enter Lao Xu's study.

Later, I will find a time to show her the video, Qi An thought, it must be very interesting.

But then he thought of what Xu Anguo said to himself, and he frowned. His existence may only be known to the Xu family, and perhaps the Qi family may have to know.

Needless to say, since the Xu family can trust Xu Bangwei, there is no reason not to trust the people he disciplined.

As for the Qi family, since they were wise enough to protect themselves in that kind of shocking situation, they drew a clear line with him.

But he didn't betray himself, after all, Qi Santai, the little guy who had personally experienced the war that lasted for eight years, should understand that once they offended Qi Yu, that kind of result would definitely be unbearable for them.

Thinking about it, Qi An was stunned, and there was a possibility that it was not them looking for themselves at all, but another guy, another guy who had witnessed his own magic.

Leather Socks Jaime was the only one who was still alive in the army that came to China to support him during the war. Of course, the reason why Qi An is so sure that he is still alive is because Qi An once saved him with his own blood.

It was already an operation that had been forgotten for a long time. After the victory in the war, James retired and returned to his hometown in the United States.

When he invited him to visit him twenty years later, out of trust in his old friend, he went through a lot of vetting and embarked on a ship to that country on the other side of the Pacific.

It was there that he experienced one of the most dangerous crises of his life, and this crisis came from his old friend James.

Qi An's thoughts gradually became clear, and he was already seventy percent sure that the person who had been secretly investigating him recently was James.

Once you know who it is, the solution to the matter is clear. In fact, there was only one solution to the matter, and that was to rush to his house, kick his table and chair, step on his chest and question him, and send him to God without even questioning.

This is the most efficient method, but it is also the most clumsy method, but both are the same concept for Qi An, and he doesn't care about cumbersomeness and clumsiness.

——————————

After walking along Lingshui Road for a while, Qi An saw the signboard of his store from a distance, but his eyes were focused on the signboard next door: Yutai Zhai.

This was his destination this morning, the place for his morning tea.

The first time he came here, he noticed the shop, but by then he had already eaten breakfast, so he didn't leave, and then he was a little busy and missed it.

Today, he came an hour early to taste the well-known Cantonese morning tea.

As soon as he entered the door, a waiter led him to do it, of course, a Guangzhou-style "drink tea?" was indispensable, and then the menu was put in front of him.

After a slight look at the menu, many of them were not quite clear, but Qi An decided to be cautious and order some more ordinary refreshments.

"A shrimp dumpling, a siu mai, a water chestnut cake, and a ......," Qi An said, "Do you have egg scattering here?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Qi An nodded and said, "Then add another sugar egg powder." Tea, it's black tea. ”

"Well, wait a minute," he added, watching the waiter turn around, "add some sugar or honey to the black tea." That's when the waiter left.

Waiting for the food, Qi An turned his head and looked around, there were many people eating morning tea, most of them spoke Cantonese Mandarin, and most of them were elderly.

It's no wonder that at this time, young people either sacrifice breakfast time in bed to catch time to sleep, or they are already dressed, grab a loaf of bread or go to a stall to buy a bun to nibble on.

Only Qi An, who lives slowly and leisurely, will spend time eating breakfast when he has time and leisure.

The layout of this restaurant is somewhat similar to that of Qi'an, with a small space and a few round tables, so diners mostly share tables.

When Qi An came, there was only himself at the table, and by the time his shrimp dumplings came up, there were already three or four people sitting at the table.

The waiter's food was served by a small cart, and it was rare that she could push a small cart in such a narrow place.

took out a small cage drawer from the incubator of the trolley and put it in front of Qi An, and the waiter left without saying anything.

Qi An pulled the chopstick cage on the side, took out a pair of disposable chopsticks, and took out a shrimp dumpling from the cage drawer.

The off-white skin looks thin and shiny, and the place where the shrimp is wrapped is pink, and the complete outline of the shrimp can be seen through the crystal clear dumpling skin.

The half-moon-shaped shrimp dumplings are clamped with chopsticks, the feel is soft and tender, and when you bite into the mouth, you can feel the strong and elastic shrimp dumpling skin being bitten open by your teeth, and the tight filling bounces off in your mouth, and you can immediately experience the feeling of juice gushing.

This shrimp dumpling is not big, but it wraps two whole shrimps into it, and in front of the authentic Dengzhou natives like Qi'an, the freshness of this shrimp is definitely no less than the various seafood stalls outside the dock.

The shrimp meat is very firm and elastic, and the filling is just right, if the shrimp in the shrimp dumplings is the absolute protagonist, then the bamboo shoots and lard in the filling are the supporting roles that complement each other.

The freshness of the bamboo shoots, the smoothness of the lard, and even the toughness of the shrimp dumpling skin all highlight the crispness and elasticity of the shrimp, just like the kings and ministers in traditional Chinese medicine, so that the sweetness and freshness of the shrimp itself are vividly reflected.

It is both delicate and connotative, which is probably to describe shrimp dumplings. "Inverted fan Luo curtain through clothes, red and shallow smile half infatuated", like a beauty in a white veil, shy and ashamed, until she spends time with Jun in private to experience her true beauty.

Almost one bite at a time, Qi An ate this cage of four shrimp dumplings in a few minutes. At this moment, as if it had been arranged, a drawer of siu mai was placed in front of him.

He was no stranger to siu mai Qi'an, who had stayed in the capital for a long time seventy years ago, and had eaten it as a breakfast for many years.

To this day, when he mentions the capital, he remembers the aroma of mutton when the lid is lifted.

But that wasn't the first time he had eaten siu mai in the capital. The first time was even more ago, and that was when Jae-chun was in power.

Qi An's gaze gradually condensed, and he returned to the steaming rou mai in this drawer. Cantonese-style refreshments seem to look good, and so does this drawer.

The bud-shaped siu mai looks great, with a piece of fresh shrimp on top, a stuffing made of pork and shiitake mushrooms buried underneath, and a wonton skin mixed with eggs on the outside.

After taking a sip of tea to moisten his mouth, Qi An picked up a siu mai and brought it to his mouth. Bite the large piece of prawn into his mouth first, in addition to the springy teeth of the shrimp, Qi An also unexpectedly felt a crispy texture.

Siu mai is very small, probably for easy consumption, and it is the size of one bite. When you chew it, the greasy meat, the firmness of the diced meat, and the crispness of the shiitake mushrooms are tightly mixed together.

This is probably happiness, Qi An thought, endless life, endless people and things, only food, has not changed for thousands of years.
