11. Chapter 11
The future kitchenware was a little inconsistent with Shen Muqing's cognition, so he had to spend time researching the use of this retractable kitchenware. When he finally got familiar with the kitchen utensils and was ready to cook, he heard a knock on the door outside.
ββ¦β¦β
Shen Muqing put down the cloned potatoes in his hand, wiped his hands on the apron casually, and walked to the door.
The only person who knocked on the door at this point could be his new neighbor.
The initial version of the apartment was only a little bit in total, and Shen Muqing walked from the kitchen to the door in a few steps, and when he opened the door, the other party's raised hand had not yet fallen.
The new neighbor is a handsome man about his age, but his temperament is more impressive than his looks. The only downside is that this gentleman doesn't have the height to match his powerful aura. If you ignore the oppressive aura, then he looks like a handsome and pink young man.
However, the other party's upbringing is good, even if he was wearing a stained apron when he opened the door, the other party did not show disgust.
"You're the owner of the room next door, please come in." Shen Muqing introduced the person into the room very naturally, poured a glass of water and put it in front of the other party, and then said apologetically. "I'm sorry, I haven't finished my meal yet, I may have to wait here for a few minutes before I can start eating."
Chu Yi secretly observed Shen Muqing a few times, considered his tone, and then spoke. "It's okay, you're too polite."
Shen Muqing didn't care about Chu Yi's gaze, after the guest expressed his willingness to wait. He nodded, leaving Chu Yi alone in the living room, and he turned around and went back to the kitchen.
Due to the lack of information, the cloned version of the vegetables has not been completely restored, and their taste is more or less different from what Shen Muqing remembers. Therefore, when cooking, Shen Muqing did not follow his past habits, but first took a small part of the vegetables and cooked them, and then tried to add seasonings after tasting the taste. In this way, the progress is slowed down a lot.
By the time all the dishes were served, more than twenty minutes had passed.
Shen Muqing, who walked back to the living room, wanted to ask his new neighbor to have dinner, but looking at Chu Yi, who was sitting at the small tea table with a pen and writing something seriously, he didn't want to interrupt the other party's inspiration for a while.
It was Chu Yi who felt Shen Muqing's gaze and took the initiative to wake up from his imagination, and they had lunch at this time.
"I'm sorry, because I'm used to jotting down something on paper when I think of something, and I didn't pay attention to the location for a while. It's okay for you to call me directly just now, I don't mind. Chu Yi said as he followed Shen Muqing into the small dining room that came with the apartment.
Shen Muqing listened to Chu Yi's apology, and blushed slightly embarrassedly.
Obviously, he spent too much time cooking and was bored waiting there before he took out a pen and paper and began to write, but people apologized to him. The cultivation is so good, it's a little embarrassing for a person like him who doesn't have any frugalities.
"It's been a little bit since I've been cooking for a long time, so you don't have to say anything sorry, or I'll have to say sorry to you."
After Shen Muqing finished speaking, the two glanced at each other and smiled.
"Poof, okay, let's not talk about that, let's try my cooking." Shen Muqing handed a bowl of rice to Chu Yi and said half-jokingly. "My cooking skills are not good, at most it tastes home-cooked, don't dislike it."
"It smells so good, how can I dislike it." Even if it doesn't taste good, I'll try my best to eat it. Chu Yi didn't say in the second half of the sentence, cherishing the fruits of other people's labor is the family motto of the Chu family, there is no need to say it, it will be even worse if it makes others think crooked.
Bag. Idol. Yi remembered the embarrassment he encountered when he was younger, and he couldn't help but tremble.
Now people's brains are so terrible, he must pay attention and pay attention again, and he must not say the wrong thing again to make others misunderstood. It's not too scary to be entangled by someone or something inexplicably.
Shen Muqing didn't know that Chu Yi had often provoked some strange aunts and old fans since he was a child because of his wealth and beauty. He just felt that although this person looked a little colder, he was still quite good at talking.
He smiled at Chu Yi and said. "You can't smell the food, you don't know it until you eat it. Let's go, although the rice on the Star Network won't get cold, we don't need to consume it like this. β
After speaking, Shen Muqing stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed a few shredded potatoes.
Chu Yi saw that Shen Muqing had already moved his chopsticks, and he ate unceremoniously.
As soon as the dish entered his mouth, Chu Yi's eyes widened in surprise. It's not that Shen Muqing's cooking is delicious, after all, Chu Yi has eaten a lot of delicious food, and what can enter his mouth is carefully selected by others. Compared with those dishes made by Shen Muqing, the taste is naturally far inferior. But it's not easy to have such a normal taste in the face of this appearance.
As mentioned before, this non-toxic ingredient has only been restored in the past 100 years, and it has not yet been fully popularized. In addition, the recipes of the past have been lost, and people's perception of the dishes is limited to "color, aroma, and taste", so in the future, people will rely on imagination to cook dishes, as the first of the three requirements, people take the word "color" as the standard for whether to get started, but ignore the blending of taste, which also leads to the emergence of many dark dishes.
Chu Yi was ready to go back and eat stomach tablets, but he didn't expect the dishes made by Shen Muqing to taste really good. The contrast between expectations and reality raised Chu Yi's comments from barely accessible to a decent level, which made his evaluation of Shen Muqing go to the next level.
Especially after Shen Muqing cleaned up the mess in the dining room, Chu Yi chatted with him again, and this appreciation was even stronger.
It's just that the more he talks about Chu Yi, the more wrong he feels, why does he feel that this kind of conversation is very familiar, as if he had discussed these topics with someone not long ago, and the other party's views seem to be the same.
Not only Chu Yi felt so, but Shen Muqing's feelings were even deeper. After all, he didn't have much time to chat after crossing over, and there were only a few objects in total, so after just a few minutes of chatting, he vaguely guessed the identity of the other party. After careful testing, Shen Muqing finally confirmed his conjecture.
"Liyu!"
"What?" Chu Yi didn't react for a while, and only remembered what this familiarity was after hearing the familiar ID.
"You're a stranger?!"
"That's right." Shen Muqing smiled and nodded, then stood up. "To introduce it officially, my name is Shen Muqing, and the nickname of Xingwang is stranger, the same as the Tianya Forum. I had taken too many sleeping pills before, and when I woke up, my mind suddenly changed, so I simply set up a new account. β
Chu Yi looked at Shen Muqing in surprise, he really didn't expect his new neighbor to be an acquaintance. You must know that there are at least 10.9 billion people in the whole interstellar world, and these people basically have their own virtual apartments, plus one-third of the population's idle apartments, the probability of wanting to have an acquaintance and neighbor can be described as outrageously low.
Immediately, he smiled back and introduced himself seriously. "My name is Chu Yi, and my Star Network ID is the same as Tianya ID. Woo...... I'm 28 years old, a little older than you. β
After saying that, the two of them laughed in unison again.
After laughing, Shen Muqing said to Chu Yi with a tiger face. "I'm going to be angry about my age."
"Haha, I know, little stranger~" Although Chu Yi, who was in a happy mood, didn't want to change his name, but after seeing Shen Muqing raise his eyebrows and glare, he shook his head and accepted Shen Muqing's threat. "Okay, Mr. Shen, how is your house looking, do you need my help?"
"Just call me a stranger, don't call Mr. Shen to tease me." Shen Muqing smiled and said. "No, I've already made an appointment with someone for a lease period."
"Well, if you have a problem, just tell me and I'll help you." treats friends who have been recognized in his heart, Chu Yi has always been stingy with his care. Then, he suddenly remembered something and smiled mysteriously at Shen Muqing. "By the way, haven't you been on the Dawn Literature Network in the past few days?"
"How do you know?" Shen Muqing raised her eyebrows, but she didn't think Chu Yi had the leisure to care about his online dynamics.
Chu Yi didn't sell it, he directly told Shen Muqing what happened on the Dawn Literature Online in the past few days.
"Your novel has been in the limelight these days, and before I can warm you up, your essay has already been on the reward list. Why, still don't believe it? Jun Qianyan knows," Shen Muqing nodded, the first novel he read "Shaohua's Love" was written by her. "Yesterday, Jun Qianyan accidentally aimed at your article, and then fell into the pit without paying attention, and then she was even more crazy to reward you and ask you to add more."
As he spoke, Chu Yi remembered the post he had swiped when he was visiting the Dawn forum before, on which there were more people gambling on the crazy reward of Jun Qianyan, and that author could last for a few days.
Those people would never have imagined that there were still people who were really so calm after putting the manuscript and didn't take a look at it online.
"My ...... It should have been published eight chapters today, but you have the eyes of such a great god? Shen Muqing asked with some uncertainty. When you say that, I want to go to the morning light to see the number of jΓΉ. With the propaganda of a great god like Jun Qianyan, it should be much better than I expected. β
"Well, that's good, you'll know when you see it."
After speaking, Chu Yi looked at the time, then suddenly got up and rubbed Shen Muqing's head, and said goodbye before he got angry.
Hearing that Chu Yi was leaving, Shen Muqing's anger disappeared all of a sudden. "Is there something in reality? Then I won't keep you, add my star network friends, and if you want to find me, you will send a star network message directly. β
"Well, added it. You too, remember to contact me if you have something. After speaking, Chu Yi's figure gradually disappeared.
Before going offline, Chu Yi also rubbed his right hand of Shen Muqing's head with his left hand obscenely, and he was secretly happy in his heart.
I didn't expect the child to be taller than him, and he still regarded him as a younger brother, who was half a head taller than his brother. But it's useless to be high, isn't this still touched by him.
After taking revenge, Chu Yi went offline to deal with things with satisfaction.
