24. Shenchi

The two of them entered the kitchen with their front and back feet, Gu Chengcai eased his complexion a little, and when he saw her coming, his face was hot again. I found a small stool leaning against the corner, and after sitting down, I felt that my mind was still confused, and I didn't know what to say for a long time.

Shen Huan looked completely unstingy, lit the fire and prepared to boil water, and said casually, "I'll give you dumplings to eat, they are vegetarian filling." ”

This is a conversation that never mentions Fang Cai, as if he didn't take it to heart.

Gu Chengman raised his head blankly, the person in front of him was all plain, his figure was slender and slender, and he stood on the edge of the stove with his head held high, and his movements were smooth, and he was quite familiar with it.

There is nothing wrong with this scene, but it is a little paradoxical, he watched and thought, and suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred in his mind, it turned out to be a bit like a little daughter-in-law, preparing lunch for his father-in-law.

Just thinking of those two words, he suddenly burst into a tremble, and a layer of shiver instantly appeared on his arm, not to mention that he shouldn't think about it at this time, just to the person in front of him - it is clearly independent and unstained with dust, and he should not defile her with a worldly eye, let alone think about her for no reason.

Gu Cheng hurriedly lowered his gaze, deeply regretting that he shouldn't have been distracted.

"Is this going well?" Shen Huan suddenly spoke up, interrupting his self-blame, "Are the children in the school well-behaved?" ”

He let out a "hmm" sound, breathed a long sigh of relief, and decided to forget about those unbearable assumptions, "Don't worry, it's not too good, but I won't lose to a group of children." ”

She nodded, but stopped talking, biting her lip for a while and frowning, "You, do you know how long the dumplings have to be cooked before they can come out of the pot?" ”

He was stunned, he never expected her to ask about this, it turned out that the previous set of familiar actions were all pretended, and the frowning and melancholy at the moment, biting his lip and thinking about nothing to do is true.

Seeing her appearance clearly, he understood the truth, and simply swept away the embarrassment in his heart, and then couldn't help but smile back and forth, "The person who taught you to make dumplings, forgot to tell you this?" ”

With a villain's face, she frowned at him, unwilling to let him taunt him like this, raised her chin and asked, "Third Young Master Gu, shouldn't you know?" ”

Gu Cheng gradually smiled after a while, shook his head, and instructed her gently, "As soon as the pot is boiled, I will put more water in it, order it three times, and it will be almost cooked." ”

Shen Huan was skeptical, but his subordinates unconsciously did what he said, while feeling curious, "How do you know, I haven't seen you cook it before." ”

"No," he smiled, a slight smug look at the corners of his lips, "but I'm a caring person, and I'll look at it." The family is not big, and when I was young, I would often sneak into the kitchen to play, and I would know it after watching it a few times. ”

She scooped another spoonful of water into the pot and snorted softly, "Are you here to play, I think it's probably here to steal your mouth." ”

He didn't answer directly, "Anyway, I've seen it, I remember that there was a cook in the family in the past, who was from Bingzhou, and she rolled good noodles." At that time, I liked to watch her make noodles the most, and I could look at it for a long time every time. ”

She laughed, and followed his words, imagining that when he was young, a gentleman should have been a far away cook, which should be a little different from now, "There must have been a lot of people in your family who served in the past." ”

He nodded, "When my father and brother were here, there were a lot of people in the family, but when they were gone, there was no need for so many people. ”

It sounds like a story of a family in the middle of the road, don't ask, he still has a family, but what about her, she is more completely defeated, and the family is all scattered.

She bowed her head silently, the hot water boiled for the third time, and the dumplings could finally come out of the pot. When I took it out, I saw that a lot of it had been boiled. She didn't hesitate, she just gave him all the good and bright ones.

The two of them moved to the table and sat opposite each other. Gu Cheng looked at it, stretched out his chopsticks into her bowl without saying a word, took out the boiled dumpling skin, and put it in his bowl.

"Do what?" She looked dissatisfied, and asked horizontally, "This is what I cooked, why do I want you to eat it?" ”

He raised his eyes and smiled, "I like to eat skins." As he spoke, he really picked up the skin with a little stuffing and put it in his mouth.

After only two bites, his expression suddenly froze. Shen Huan was immediately apprehensive, "What's the matter, it's hard to eat?" ”

She looked worried, he couldn't help but swallow, shook his head and chuckled for a while, "It's not unpalatable, it's just a little salty, you put salt...... The hand is really ruthless. ”

She pursed her lips, picked up a small bite and tasted it, her face looked quite like a strong man breaking his wrist, and as soon as she took a bite, she muttered in disgust, "It's really, no wonder Hanxiang said that I was going to kill the salt seller, and I really didn't understand what it meant at that time." ”

Putting down her chopsticks, she simply said, "Don't eat this, let's eat what you brought back." ”

Having said that, the loss between her eyebrows and eyes was still unobstructed, Gu Cheng pursed her lips and smiled, and motioned to her, "No, you can help me bring the vinegar to cover up the taste and not feel salty." ”

She was noncommittal, raising an eyebrow at him, "Useful?" Are you good at seasoning? ”

He smiled, but he didn't move her anyway, so he simply got up and poured two bowls of vinegar by himself, and sat down before explaining, "Vinegar is originally seasoned, it can be used when it is salty, and it can be used when it is light, it is a wonderful thing that cannot be neutralized." ”

After speaking, he stopped looking at her and began to eat seriously. Shen Huan didn't know if the salty dumplings had become more delicious, but just looking at his appearance, he seemed to enjoy the meal.

It's just that he was eating with his head bored, and he could also sense that the person opposite was staring at him. She never touched the chopsticks, so she didn't smile or say anything, and looked at him all the way.

He looked up at her, and then quickly lowered his eyes, pretending to be indifferent. But half a day later, she was still the same, he only felt that his whole body was getting more and more stiff, and finally his throat moved, and he swallowed the last bite with difficulty.

"You...... Don't keep staring at me like that. He was embarrassed, like a thorn in front of him.

Shen Huan ignored him, seriously thinking about the experience he had just realized, the way this person eats, he is not impatient or tepid, he is not arrogant, he can't talk about how delicate he is, but he has a proper look.

He was embarrassed at the moment, and she was more and more interested in playing, but in the end she couldn't bear to play too hard, so she smiled and said, "You didn't gobble, and you didn't eat too much, and you are quite particular about eating, I look pretty good." ”

His lowered eyelashes trembled slightly, and he responded to her with a smile, "Just eating, you can see so many doorways." He pushed her bowl in front of her, "If you don't eat it again, it will be cold." ”

She picked up the chopsticks, but after eating two bites, she suddenly laughed, tilted her head sideways, and sighed, "Actually, you are similar to vinegar, so that people are not addicted to it as soon as they eat it, but they can't be separated from all kinds of occasions." Especially when you want to neutralize those salty and spicy flavors, it is the best and most practical taste. ”

Is this a compliment to him? He didn't ask himself that much, but it still made people feel useful when he heard it.

Gu Cheng didn't respond to her, frowning slightly, but when he lowered his head, he laughed softly.
