Chapter 45: A New Neighbor
"Wait a minute!" Han Ling stopped Chen Chen.
"Huh?" Chen Chen looked at him suspiciously.
"Chen Chen, can you write me some small cards?" Han Ling squeezed out a smile.
"For Mao?" Chen Chen felt that Han Ling had been quite strange recently.
"I've given you beginner's recipes, thank you for this, can you exchange it for a small card?" Han Ling rubbed his hands.
"Why?" Chen Chen thinks there is something wrong with this!
“…… You don't have to ask why, you just say yes. Han Ling looked at him expectantly.
"If you don't tell the truth, then I won't write small cards." Chen Chen found a stool and sat down.
"Don't! Will you help me if I'm honest? Han Ling looked at Chen Chen tangledly.
"It depends, but if you don't tell the truth, I will never help you."
"Didn't I say it was okay?" Han Ling cried with a sad face.
"Didn't you write a small card for the marshal a while ago and put it in the packaging of those dishes?"
"Hmm."
"In fact, some dishes are sent to the princes and nobles, and then some go to the hands of the princes and nobles." When Han Ling said this, he peeked at Chen Chen's expression, and saw that there was not much change, so he continued, "Later, the marshal found out and asked me to take back those small cards." But some princes and nobles hid those for their own purposes, and I went to ask, and one by one they said they hadn't received them, and they asked what it was. Damn, I really want to kill them. ”
"Now I can't help it, so I have to come to you to help me."
"I refuse." As soon as Han Ling finished speaking, Chen Chen burst out with this sentence.
"Hey! You can't do that! Han Ling was about to cry.
"Wucao, I always thought that the only person I received was Lu Chen, but I didn't expect ......"
I really want to kill this girl.
"Chen Chen, you may not know that the marshal beats people very fiercely!" Han Ling looked at Chen Chen with a look of disbelief, "Really! Don't believe me, don't you think the person who can be a marshal is not fierce? ”
Chen Chen actually felt that what Han Ling said made some sense.
Han Ling looked at Chen Chen, "If I can't finish it, I will definitely be beaten to death by the marshal." ”
Han Ling added fuel and vinegar to talk nonsense about the marshal's various ferocity, and begged Chen Chen bitterly by the way.
"......," Chen Chen thought for a long time, "Okay." ”
Chen Chen saw Han Ling's pitiful appearance, and his heart couldn't be hardened, so he agreed to him.
"Thank you, Chen Chen!" Finally, I can talk to the marshal, "Thank you for your kindness, please accept my worship!" ”
"That's not necessary, as long as you remember to show me more Kapuzno recipes in the future." Chen Chen said with a light smile.
"No problem, that's for me." Han Ling patted his chest.
Han Ling took out the card and pen he had prepared early and asked Chen Chen to write. Chen Chen looked at him with tears and laughter, don't be so fast.
"Hurry up and finish writing, let me be born as soon as possible!" Han Ling urged excitedly beside him.
"How many are left?" Chen Chen took the pen and raised his head to ask Han Ling.
"Eight." Han Ling counted.
"Okay." Chen Chen picked up the pen and prepared to write.
Han Ling looked at the pen and suddenly felt so nervous. Hurry up and write it! Fast! Time waits for no one, and the sooner you finish it, the better.
"I'm going to find a book." Chen Chen put the pen down again.
"Did you copy the sentence?"
"Well, it's not." Chen Chen stopped moving.
"Then why do you want books?" Han Ling asked suspiciously.
"Don't do it." Chen Chen didn't dare to say that those sentences were from books.
"Then write quickly! What a good thing that you write with your own hands can make the marshal happy! ”
......, "But I didn't think so.
In the end, Chen Chen was under Han Ling's nose, and his brain was about to be broken, so he made up eight sentences. A few of the sentences are still made up with a few words added to the picture.
Han Ling happily took these eight small cards, leaving Chen Chen alone to grieve.
Han Ling carefully put away the small card, and when he walked, he had to touch the storage of the small card.
The last time he hid it for those princes and nobles, he was forced by the marshal to make this decision. Now I'm afraid that there will be any more moths, so I have to collect them!
The next day, early in the morning.
Chen Chen got up early and made breakfast for Han Ling and Wang Dasheng to see them off.
"Are you up?" Chen Chen washed his hands and came out of the kitchen, "I'll make breakfast for you, you can eat quickly." ”
Han Ling sat at the dining table with sleepy eyes on the head of a nest of chickens, smelling the sweet taste of breakfast, and suddenly lost his sleepiness.
"It smells so good." Han Ling lifted the plate and sniffed it.
Chen Chen patted his head, "Smell the wool, hurry up and finish eating." ”
"Yes, Madame Marshal." Han Ling pouted.
Wang Dasheng didn't listen to what was going on outside the window, and only ate Chen Chen's dishes.
"Seriously, Chen Chen, I'm a little reluctant to you." Han Ling looked at him with teary eyes.
", you can't bear me? You can't bear my cooking! Chen Chen didn't believe Han Ling when he said that he was reluctant to say anything, when did he tell the truth?
Han Ling knew that he didn't believe it, and hurriedly said, "Really! Don't you believe me, don't you believe in my big eyes that are pure and innocent? ”
Han Ling said and brought his eyes to Chen Chen, wanting him to see his pure and innocent eyes clearly.
Chen Chen pushed his body away, "You call it big eyes?" Obviously, my eyes are almost blind, and I can't even see the seams. ”
"......" Han Ling felt physically and mentally hurt.
"Don't talk while you're eating." Chen Chen couldn't stand Han Ling's verbosity, so he pressed him with this sentence.
Sure enough, Han Ling didn't continue to speak.
"I have to say goodbye to you for a thousand miles, so I won't continue to send it. Good bye! ”
Han Ling is embarrassed, are you sending this? You're still sitting at the table, not moving, and you're sending you a thousand miles! You think saying goodbye is enough? When I go back, I'm going to tell the marshal that you're too lazy to do this now, and you should make a good adjustment. Teach you.
And when Han Ling went back and told the marshal how lazy the marshal's wife was, he told him to be sure to adjust. When teaching, the marshal raised his eyebrows and said, "This is what I tuned. Teach him to be lazy, how? ”
Han Ling deeply felt the malice from the world.
Of course, this is a later story, so let's not talk about it for now.
"We're leaving." Han Ling lowered his eyes, not wanting them to see the parting sentimentality in his eyes.
Chen Chen knew that Han Ling was really reluctant to himself, and knew that he was sad, so he said softly, "It's not that I won't see you in the future, why are you so sad." ”
"When I go back and finish my errands, I'll come to you, do you remember to make fish-flavored shredded pork...... Give it to me. ”
Han Ling's expression changed so quickly that Chen Chen smacked his tongue, he was sentimental a moment ago, but at this moment he became a typical foodie, ordering dozens of dishes.
"I know, I'll make it for you next time." Chen Chen stood up and sent Han Ling and Wang Dasheng out of the building.
When he went downstairs, Han Ling got carried away with joy and didn't notice that someone was going upstairs.
"I'm sorry!" Han Ling bumped into someone and knocked him to the ground, scattering things on the ground.
Chen Chen took a look, hey! How is Lin Xuan? Didn't he live in Linshi?
"Lin Xuan?" Chen Chen opened his mouth uncertainly, after all, the world is so big, there will always be people who look the same.
"Hmm." Lin Xuan frowned and looked at the things on the ground.
Han Ling looked at Lin Xuan's cold face and remembered that he was the one who lost to Chen Chen. couldn't help but quip: "You are the one who lost to Chen Chen." This time I'm going back to tell them that I've seen a real person. Hahaha. ”
"Still laughing? Help someone knock something off, don't pick it up quickly. ”
Han Ling looked at the things on the ground, touched the back of his head, and smiled at Lin Xuan awkwardly.
Han Ling picked up the thing that fell to the ground and smiled embarrassedly at Lin Xuan: "I'm sorry! ”
"It's fine." Lin Xuan took it and said coldly.
"Lin Xuan, why are you here?" Chen Chen asked suspiciously.
"I accepted Yan Shu's job offer and moved here." It's still a faint expression.
"And where do you live? I'm free to play with you. Chen Chen bared his teeth.
“301。”
Hey! Isn't this next door to me?
Originally, there was a single young man living next door, but a few days ago he heard that he was promoted and the company allocated him a house, so he moved out.
Unexpectedly, in a few days, Lin Xuan moved in.
Chen Chen said a simple goodbye to Lin Xuan, and went to see Han Ling and Wang Dasheng off.
When Chen Chen came back, he saw that the door of Lin Xuan's house was open, and Chen Chen didn't know what was wrong with him, so he entered Lin Xuan's house like this.
Chen Chen felt strange that Lin Xuan came to rent a house to live in. He came here to rent this house because the salary was very low at that time, and he couldn't afford to rent a better place. Later, when I got rich, I developed feelings for this place, and felt that although this place was small, it felt like home. In addition, moving is a hassle, so he used the money to buy ingredients.
And Lin Xuan's salary is much higher than him, and he can rent a house with better conditions, but he came here to rent a house, which made Chen Chen have to doubt the purpose of his coming to rent a house.
"Lin Xuan? Lin Xuan? Chen Chen thought about it, after all, it was not good to enter someone else's house without the permission of the master, so he shouted a few words in a low voice.
Strange, how come there is no one?
"Chen Chen, what are you doing?" Lin Xuan stood behind Chen Chen, looking at him with his hands folded.
"I'm scared to death, don't you walk without a sound?" Chen Chen touched his little heart.
Lin Xuan looked at him speechlessly, he was walking so loudly, he couldn't hear it!
"Sit down, I'll pour you water." Lin Xuan stepped over the boxes littered on the ground and went to the kitchen to pour water for Chen Chen.
Chen Chen looked at the dirty ground, felt a little awkward, and couldn't help but go and get a broom.
When Lin Xuan boiled the water and came out with a glass of water, what he saw was Chen Chen sweeping the floor.
"I'll come, Chen Chen." Lin Xuan put the cup on the coffee table and was about to take the broom in Chen Chen's hand.
Chen Chen continued to sweep, not intending to hand it to Lin Xuan.
"No, it's going to be done anyway." Chen Chen swept it neatly.
"Let the guests sweep the floor, this is ......" Lin Xuan was a little embarrassed.
A hundred-year-old ice face actually had a different expression, I was also mistaken?! Chen Chen rubbed his eyes, and Lin Xuan's face was still a little embarrassed. That's right.
"How did you move here?" Chen Chen asked the doubts in his heart.
"I just came to this city, I don't know the place well, and when I think of you living here, I wonder if I can move here. After all, I know you in this city. Lin Xuan said with a serious expression, "It's also convenient to take care of it." ”
"That's good, we'll take care of each other in the future."
Chen Chen chatted with Lin Xuan for a while, and Chen Chen found that the door was still open.
Chen Chen looked at the door, "Why don't you close the door?" ”
Lin Xuan also turned his head to look at the door, "There is a lot of luggage, and it is difficult for me to open the door with my luggage, so I will open the door." ”
"Haven't moved yet?"
"Hmm."
"Then I'll help you move."
"That's not necessary." Lin Xuan wanted to refuse, he had just swept the floor, and now he was moving his luggage, how could he let the guests do it.
"Didn't you say that you have to take care of each other." Chen Chen showed off his muscleless arms, "Look at my muscles, be strong." ”
“……”
Originally, there was nothing to do from the first floor to the third floor, but after climbing more than a dozen times in half an hour, there was something wrong.
Chen Chen felt a slight pain in his abdomen, and at first Chen Chen disagreed, and continued to carry things, but the pain became more and more painful.
It may be that he has not exercised for a long time, but now he is exercising vigorously, and the child feels the pressure from the outside world and protests against his behavior.
Chen Chen was so painful that cold sweat came out, and he leaned against the wall to relieve the pain.
Lin Xuan was carrying a large box up, and saw Chen Chen holding his stomach against the wall with a painful face.
"Are you alright?" Lin Xuan hurriedly put down the box, walked to Chen Chen's side, and asked worriedly.
Chen Chen heard Lin Xuan's inquiry, gritted his teeth and replied: "I've been a little diarrhea lately, and I've collapsed a little bit." ”
"Then sit down, I'll find you some diarrhea medicine." Lin Xuan helped Chen Chen to sit on the sofa.
Take medicine for diarrhea? If you eat this, you won't die!
Chen Chen stretched out his hand and pulled Lin Xuan, "No need, just give me a glass of water." ”
Lin Xuan frowned, but still agreed.
Chen Chen drank a few glasses of water, rested for a while, and finally eased up, "I'm fine, you go and get busy." ”
"Then I'll move, and you can rest for a while." Lin Xuan was still worried about him, but the things were still lying underneath, so Lin Xuan could only go and bring the things up first and let him continue to sit and rest.
"Okay, let's go." Chen Chen nodded.
By the time Lin Xuanquan moved in, it was already time for dinner.
Halfway home, Chen Chen also made lunch for Lin Xuan, but because of time problems, Lin Xuan ate in a hurry.
So when Lin Xuan finally finished moving, Chen Chen smiled at Lin Xuan and said, "Come to my house for dinner in the evening." ”
Lin Xuan hesitated how to speak.
"Don't worry, you see that your house is so messy, and you can't cook now. You've just come here now, and I deserve to be the dust for you. ”
Chen Chen said this, and Lin Xuan silently agreed.
Chen Chen cut and plucked the core of the pumpkin flower and put it on the plate, while Lin Xuan watched his movements from the side, occasionally pointing out that his movements were wrong.
After picking pumpkin flowers, it is washed. Washing pumpkin flowers is not very good, but washing nori is the most troublesome because seaweed is dry, so first wipe off the dust left on the seaweed and then rinse it under the faucet.
After these preparatory activities were completed, Chen Chen took a breath and muttered, "It's finally finished." ”
When Lin Xuan heard his words, he couldn't help but smile, "Hurry up!" ”
"Alas!" Chen Chen frowned, took the pot, and put the seaweed in and water to boil.
When the water boils, put the pumpkin flowers in and season with salt. Taking advantage of this free time, Chen Chen broke up the eggs and put them in the pot after beating them. The fishy smell of the eggs is masked by the sweetness of the pumpkin flowers, and even a different flavor is revealed.
Turn off the heat and add a little sesame oil, the fragrance is getting bigger and bigger in this small room.
"Your technique is much better than before." Lin Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "The raw materials can also be seen in the things that have been made. ”
The ordinary seaweed egg soup is filled with pumpkin flowers of seasonal game, and the taste has a touch of sweetness of pumpkin flowers. The color also has a bright yellow, delicate green. In the evening after a tiring day, it gives a comforting feeling.
Chen Chen casually fried a few more dishes, and Lin Xuan helped carry them to the table.
Lin Xuan couldn't wait to take a sip of pumpkin flower seaweed egg soup, and the bowl was too busy to pick it up, so he took the soup spoon and tasted it.
The salty taste of seaweed, the sweetness of the light pumpkin flowers, and the soft egg are mixed together, and the three flavors of salty, sweet, and fragrant complement each other in the mouth.
Lin Xuan looked at Chen Chen in surprise.
"Your food tastes better than ever." Although I am a little unwilling, it is a fact, "The food I cook is only better than yours, and the taste is still better than yours." ”
Chen Chen smiled, "Your cooking skills are much higher than mine, and I was lucky to win you last time." Actually, I can't eat other people's food, and I vomit when I eat it, but I ate your sushi during the last competition, and it was completely fine. ”
“?” Lin Xuan looked at him in surprise.
"Hehe, it's true." Chen Chen looked at him amusedly.
"Then why can you eat Lu Chen's cooking?" Lin Xuan pointed out sharply.
