Chapter 28: What If
After more than 20 years in Oolong Temple, Ah Jiu's cooking skills are still okay, but they are limited to noodles and vegetarian dishes.
Because in the temple, these are staple foods.
The way of martial arts training in the Oolong Academy, to use the words in the Xianxia novel, is 'building a foundation' before the age of ten, and the so-called foundation building is to lay a solid foundation. There is a clear spring at the bottom of the mountain, and a bucket with a hole has been drilled, and it takes half an hour to run up the mountain normally when it is full of water, and half of the water is left. Before dawn, one person has to beat two jars of water, and then mix noodles to make steamed buns, that is to say, when he is ten years old, the disciples of Oolong Academy are all very qualified pastry masters.
But among all the vegetarian dishes, Ah Jiu is best at making tofu, he not only cooks tofu, but also makes tofu, and likes to eat tofu...... But since he left the Oolong Temple, he hasn't eaten much tofu. In the world of flowers outside, there are so many delicious things, who has nothing to eat tofu?
After eating pasta for more than 20 years, Ah Jiu hates pasta the most now. But this is only relatively speaking, if there is nothing to eat, he will still be very happy to nibble on steamed buns.
Ah Jiu has always believed that cooking is a human instinct rather than a skill, and that everyone will be hungry. How could there be someone who couldn't cook, but after he met Krystal, this idea changed. She really can't cook, and she doesn't know how to cook even the simplest barbecue. He feared that Krystal would starve to death when he was alone, and for a while he was very active in teaching her. But Krystal just can't learn. Later, after observation, he found that Krystal did not really not know how to learn, but deliberately did not want to learn. She loves to eat what he makes, even the ramen she can eat deliciously.
Since then, Ah Jiu has never mentioned letting Krystal learn to cook.
……
"Brother...... I smell the scent, what did I do?" IU came out of the room, rubbing her eyes loosely with sleepy eyes, and at some point changed into her pajamas, her hair unkempt like a fried Garfield.
"Why did you come out like this, go back and get dressed. ”
"Why are you surprised? IU looked at the finished dish, reached out and pinched a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, and sucked his fingers in satisfaction: "Brother, I didn't expect you to be able to cook." ”
"Didn't I tell you, there's nothing your brother can't do. Suddenly, Ah Jiu heard a noise at the door of the recording studio, and immediately leaned sideways in that direction, pushing IU back to her room: "Get dressed and come out again, there are outsiders at home." ”
"Who?" asked IU, looking back, trying to stretch her neck to see who it was.
"Change your clothes first!" Ah Jiu pushed IU into the room, pulled the door and looked back at the unlucky guy who had just poked out a head: "Who let you out?"
The unlucky guy said dumbfoundedly: "Big brother, I want to say hello to your sister." ”
"Are you done with your work?Why are you so idle?Greet you?" Ah Jiu's eyes widened, and the unlucky man hung his head and covered his stomach: "Big brother, I'm hungry and can't do anything." ”
"What the ......" Ah Jiu almost burst into foul language, worried that IU would hear it, but he still endured it, and waved his hand: "Wash your hands and eat!"
"Brother Xie, I must work hard when I am full. ”
Ah Jiu gritted his teeth: "I don't have the surname Xie!"
"Thank you, big brother......" Ah Jiu glared again, and the unlucky man grinned and smirked: "Hey, hey, hey......"
……
Ah Jiu took a bowl of rice and handed it to IU.
"Thank you, brother. ”
Ah Jiu served another bowl of rice, and the unlucky guy came over to take it with both hands, and Ah Jiu took the bowl and sat down. The unlucky man's hand hung in the air, grinned awkwardly, and went to serve the rice with his own bowl.
"Brother, what are you doing?" IU felt that Ah Jiu was a little too much, and whispered.
"I won't give him food, and I want to give it to Sheng? I'm a nanny?" Ah Jiu couldn't look at the unlucky guy horizontally, and he spoke as if he had eaten gunpowder. The unlucky man didn't dare to say anything, so he took the chopsticks and picked up some of each dish, and went to the living room with the bowl to eat.
"Brother......" IU pinched Ah Jiu's sleeve and shook it, Ah Jiu sighed and said, "Who's that, come here." ”
The unlucky guy glanced up at Ah Jiu and came back with the bowl.
"Who ...... that?" IU looked at the unlucky bastard, then at Ah Jiu, and said, "Don't you know each other's names?"
"My name is Wu He. After the unlucky man finished speaking, he looked at Ah Jiu expectantly.
"Park Chan-young. ”
"Brother!" IU was a little angry, how could my brother be like this, how could he lie?
Ah Jiu glanced at IU, IU pursed his mouth, picked up the rice bowl and pulled the rice into his mouth.
The unlucky guy didn't know what was wrong with the brother and sister, so he looked at it in a daze, and when he saw Ah Jiu looking over, he hurriedly picked up the bowl of rice.
"Do you know?" Ah Jiu pointed to IU and asked Wu He.
"Well, it seems, it seems to be IU. Wu He choked on the rice in his mouth and said honestly.
"You should keep the matter of me living with her a secret, right?" Ah Jiu narrowed his eyes, Wu He suddenly felt cold and nodded busily.
Ah Jiu sandwiched a piece of meat for IU, and IU bit it angrily and snorted.
"If this leaks out, I'll guarantee you'll be beaten ten times as much, you know? I'm threatening you. ”
"Hmm. ”
"Are you afraid?"
"I'm afraid ......" Wu He's simple heart is about to collapse, and this threat is too blatant.
"It's good to be afraid. Ah Jiu picked up the chopsticks: "Eat, work when you're full!"
……
After eating, Wu He went to the recording studio to continue working, Ah Jiu and IU were tidying up in the kitchen, and the brother and sister washed the dishes together. Ah Jiu washed it for the first time, IU took it and washed it again, and then placed it on the shelf.
"Brother, didn't you say that only the two of us know about the fact that we are brothers and sisters, why do you still bring outsiders home. IU's tone was a little complaining, she was really a little frightened when she saw Wu He just now, and it was a completely instinctive reaction.
With her current situation, it was discovered by outsiders that she was 'cohabiting' with a young man, and if it spread, it would have a very big impact on her career. And she was also worried about another thing, that is, the incident that had an impact on her career the year before last, and she was very worried that Ah Jiu knew about it. She didn't dare to mention it all the time, and she was afraid that Ah Jiu would ask.
She knew that Ah Jiu was a person who didn't search for things with her mobile phone, and she thought that he might not search for the rest of her life, but if there were outsiders 'haunting' this 'home', especially when she saw her living with Ah Jiu, she was very worried that they would mention it to Ah Jiu.
Ah Jiu muttered while washing the dishes: "I went to buy groceries, he was holding a guitar box at the door of the supermarket and asking for food, and when I came out after shopping, he was beaten." When I got home, he followed me and said that he didn't have money to eat, and it happened that he would install the equipment in the studio, so I asked him to come and help. Alas...... After saying that, I regretted it, can I tell him a fake name?" Ah Jiu looked at IU, raised his hand and scratched his neck, looking vicious: "Kill the mouth?"
"Nonsense. IU glanced at him, and didn't really blame her in his heart. She didn't want to never disclose her relationship with Ah Jiu, but she also felt that it should be a while later, and now she has a half of knowing, as long as it doesn't leak out, it's nothing. And listening to what Ah Jiu just said, if she went to buy vegetables with her, she would also bring Wu He back.
Placing the washed dishes on the shelf, IU put her hand under the faucet and rinsed off the dish soap foam on her hand with Ah Jiu.
"Brother, if, I mean, one day you find out that I'm not exactly what you see this sister is, not exactly what you think, will you hate me? Will you think I'm lying to you?"
