Zhao Qinghan and Uncle Zhang returned with a full load, talking and laughing all the way towards the Zhao family's old house. Zhao Qinghan originally planned to decorate the house in two or three days, but there is a saying, "The plan can't catch up with the change."

As soon as Zhao Qinghan parked the car, a servant came over and said that a guest had arrived, and he had been waiting for a long time. Zhao Qinghan was puzzled, it stands to reason that the closer this is to the Chinese New Year, the stricter the people who visit the family, and ordinary people are improving the Zhao family. However, after learning that the person waiting for was Shen Muge, Zhao Qinghan's doubts were even greater. Shouldn't Shen Muge be in country M? I heard that there is a problem with a batch of goods, and Shen Muge needs to ask in person, how long has it been, has it been solved?

But anyway, I didn't know it before, so it made people wait for a long time. But now that he knows it, he can't let people wait any longer, Zhao Qinghan instructed the maid to help Uncle Zhang move all the things in the car to the house, and the door-to-door delivery can directly sign for Uncle Zhang. After making sure that nothing was missing, Zhao Qinghan took care of himself and walked towards the living room.

It's just that Zhao Qinghan came to the living room, but he didn't see the person who should have been waiting there in the living room. Zhao Qinghan looked around, and then got a servant, and learned that Shen Muge had gone to the back garden, Zhao Qinghan smiled helplessly. Tell the servant to prepare some snacks and tea, and send them to the back garden, and then go to the back garden to find the person who has been waiting for a long time.

When Zhao Qinghan found Shen Muge, he saw him sitting on a stool in the garden, holding a book in his hand and flipping through it. Zhao Qinghan always knew that Shen Muge was a man who was easy to fascinate people, he just sat there upright, the corners of his mouth hooked up a just right arc, and his slender and beautiful fingers flipped the book in his hand, a gentleman is like jade, nothing more than that.

Zhao Qinghan approached, and joked in his mouth, "You really don't have the consciousness of a guest as a guest, and you run to my garden alone to enjoy it." Let me find a good meal, and tell me, how are you going to compensate me? ”

Shen Muge heard Zhao Qinghan's voice, the smile on the corner of his mouth expanded, he put down the book in his hand, and looked at the person sitting next to him, who had a sly smile on his face, and his mouth was still teasing him.

"It's just that because you, the master, have been out for too long, I have to be self-reliant. If I sit in the living room and wait for you, I won't be able to sit still. So I asked the maid to bring me a book and bring me here, and wait for you while reading the book. Shen Muge looked at someone who stuck out his tongue by what he said, shook his head funny, and pretended to be dissatisfied: "If you really want to talk about it, shouldn't it be you, the master, who made amends to me and invited me to dinner?" ”

Zhao Qinghan was speechless by Shen Muge's words, knowing that if he continued to talk about it, he might be signed a series of unequal treaties, so he hurriedly raised his hands and said in his mouth, "Okay, it's a small mistake, you have a lot of forgiveness for me." The little one cooks for you to compensate you, do you think you are satisfied? ”

Shen Muge looked at someone who was asking for mercy but rolled his eyes, he was amused in his heart, and a doting smile appeared on his face, "Well, I'm satisfied." ”

Zhao Qinghan saw Shen Muge climbing up the pole, and knew that it would definitely be impossible to say anything more, so he had to dispel the idea of continuing, and asked seriously, "Why did you come back?" Have you done your business in country M? Zhao Qinghan paused, knowing that it was the Shen family's business, and she shouldn't ask so much, so she quickly answered and changed the topic, "I thought you wouldn't be able to come back in time for the New Year, and I was heartbroken that I couldn't ask you for a red envelope." It's just right to come back, remember to prepare a red envelope for me! ”

"Okay, I'll give you a super big red envelope when the time comes." Shen Muge didn't mention anything about his Shen family, but followed Zhao Qinghan's words, "By the way, what are you doing today?" Went for so long. ”

Zhao Qinghan was puzzled, "Is it a long time?" I don't think it's very long. I went shopping for New Year's goods with Uncle Zhang today, and I was going to clean up the old house, which looked deserted and did not have a New Year's atmosphere. ”

"It's okay, at least it's more popular than my family." When Shen Muge heard this, he thought that his home was not very popular, and the Zhao family was indeed much better than the Shen family.

Zhao Qinghan didn't answer casually, after all, although the relationship between the two was very good, but about the Shen family, it was better not to be casually beaked. Zhao Qinghan knew that Shen Muge wouldn't mind, but if it spread out, others would think that she, Zhao Qinghan, coveted the position of the young lady of the Shen family.

At this time, the maid came with snacks and tea, Zhao Qinghan took the things, placed them one by one, and poured tea for himself and Shen Muge. After getting ready, Zhao Qinghan beckoned Shen Muge, "Come, let's have some snacks." I think you're probably a little hungry, but it's not time to eat yet. So, eat some snacks to cushion your stomach. Zhao Qinghan pushed the dim sum plate in the direction of Shen Muge, and then said: "These dim sum were made by me before, you can taste them, if they suit your appetite, take some back when you leave." ”

Shen Muge looked at Zhao Qinghan's enthusiastic appearance, and he was indeed a little hungry, so he didn't push back. Pick up a piece of dim sum and send it to your mouth, maybe it's the reason why the few people who take care of the Zhao family don't eat sweets much, this dim sum is not very sweet, only a little sweet. But it's delicious, soft and glutinous and smooth, and before you know it, a piece of dim sum will be in your stomach. Shen Muge stretched out his hand, ready to eat another piece, and decided in his heart that when he left, he must pack some and bring it back to his grandfather to taste.

After tasting every snack, Shen Muge picked up a cup of tea and warmed the tea, he was still a little hungry just now, but now he was a little full. "It's delicious, remember to pack one for me, and I'll take it back for grandpa to taste." Shen Muge was also not polite, and said directly to Zhao Qinghan.

When Zhao Qinghan heard this, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more obvious, "Okay, I'll pack it for you then." It's just that you remember to tell Grandpa Shen to eat less, after all, it is some snacks, although there is not much sweetness, but it is always good to pay attention. ”

Shen Muge sighed at Zhao Qinghan's carefulness, and sighed in his heart that his sisters would not be so careful. Thinking about it again, Zhao Baiyun actually has such a caring sister who can make snacks and make delicious meals, it's so good, do you want to snatch Qinghan over and be your sister? The expression on Shen Muge's face remained unchanged, but the bad water in his heart bubbled out one by one, and the sesame-stuffed buns reappeared in the rivers and lakes.

If Zhao Qinghan knew what Shen Muge was thinking, she would inevitably have a burst of amusement, she had regarded Shen Muge as her brother, after all, she was not a simple brother and sister to Zhao Baiyun. It's just that now the two of them haven't pierced the layer of window paper, and they just maintain the appearance of brother and sister on the surface, and Zhao Jingshao also knows it. After all, what he paid attention to at the beginning was to cultivate Zhao Baiyun as Zhao Qinghan's husband, as long as Zhao Baiyun has no dissenting intentions and is wholeheartedly good to Zhao Qinghan, the entire Zhao family will be his Zhao Baiyun and Zhao Qinghan's in the future.

Zhao Qinghan sat with Shen Muge in the garden for a while, chatting about him, Xu Shao and Zhao Baiyun when they were young. Looking at the time, it was not early, Zhao Qinghan got up and said to Shen Muge: "Okay, it's not early, it's time for me to cook." Anyway, what do you want to eat? I'll try to do it for you, and if it doesn't work, you can eat with me. ”

Shen Muge shook his head and motioned to follow Zhao Qinghan's convenience, "I don't have anything special to eat, just feel free." ”

Zhao Qinghan saw that Shen Muge was not reluctant, so he no longer shirked, "Since that's the case, then you can eat with me." Our family has been eating relatively plain food recently. Seeing that Shen Muge had no other reaction, he knew that he agreed.

"Okay, you can rest here, if it's cold, go back to the house, I'll cook." Zhao Qinghan told Shen Muge when he left, so he didn't care about him anymore and concentrated on cooking.

Zhao Qinghan was preparing what he was going to eat at noon in the kitchen, and the ingredients were all sent by the people who ordered Suiyuan. Since the people who followed the garden guard were selected, Zhao Qinghan instructed them to send fresh ingredients to the Zhao family's old mansion every day. As for who will deliver it, this is not within the scope of Zhao Qinghan's management, there is a big housekeeper in Suiyuan, who is Zhao Baiyun and Zhao Qinghan's henchmen, and the people who deliver the dishes every day are arranged by the big housekeeper.

There are not many ingredients in winter, so there is a blessing of the Gathering Spirit Array on the side of the garden, and the ingredients are also divided into four seasons. There is that kind of small crucian carp fish in the dish delivered today, I think it was caught by the people over there with a net, but they can't catch so many small crucian carp.

Since there is fish, Zhao Qinghan prepared a stewed fish soup, and fried a few light ingredients for the rest, and made some fresh snacks for Shen Muge to take back. It's really busy to think about it, but dim sum is not necessary now, you can wait for the time between cooking to make dim sum, and now the first thing is to cook first. Zhao Qinghan is going to stew the fish soup first, and then stir-fry the vegetables.

Crucian carp is scaled, gills and intestines are removed and cleaned. Heat the pot and stir-fry the green onion and ginger until fragrant. Put the crucian carp in a little frying, add water, bring to a boil over high heat, then change to low heat and simmer for about 45 minutes. Chop the coriander and green onions, and finally simmer the crucian carp soup over medium heat for about 10 minutes, and the soup will become as white as milk. When the pot is removed, add salt, pepper, chopped green onion and chopped coriander to taste. The milky white fish soup is delicious, and the stewed time is just right, so it does not destroy the shape of the fish, and it is very convenient for one person to eat.

When the fish is stewed, the rice is stuffed by the way, and then the vegetarian dishes on the list are prepared. Zhao Qinghan is going to make a vinegared shredded potato for appetizers, vegetarian stir-fry is delicious and rice, fried mung bean sprouts are crispy, double mushroom broccoli is delicious, they are all delicious and rice-friendly dishes, and they are eaten with fish soup, and the pressure on the spleen and stomach will not be very great.

The time for a meal, because it is a simple vegetarian dish, does not take long, and when all the dishes are served, the fish soup is ready. Zhao Qinghan served the fish soup, Uncle Zhang was helping to serve the rice on the side, and when Zhao Qinghan put the fish soup on the table, he happened to see Shen Muge walking into the dining room. Zhao Qinghan omitted the step of asking someone to eat, and directly beckoned Shen Muge to wash his hands and be ready to eat.

Shen Muge was resting in the garden, but the fragrance that kept wafting from the tip of his nose aroused the cravings in his stomach. I had just eaten a snack, and when I smelled the fragrance, I suddenly became hungry. The book in his hand hadn't turned a page for a long time, and since he couldn't continue to read the book after being ticked, Shen Muge simply gave up. I put down my book, got up and walked into the room, followed the scent to the dining room. I happened to see Zhao Qinghan coming out of the kitchen with a bowl of soup, and seeing Zhao Qinghan beckoning to eat, Shen Muge was not hypocritical, went to the bathroom to wash his hands, pulled out a chair, and sat down to move chopsticks.

When Zhao Qinghan saw Shen Muge's appearance, he thought that he was hungry, and someone was so looking forward to and liking the food he cooked, Zhao Qinghan was happy in his heart. Zhao Qinghan beckoned Uncle Zhang and Shen Muge to eat, and she got up and served Uncle Zhang a meal first, and told Uncle Zhang to drink soup to warm his stomach before eating. After getting Uncle Zhang's consent, Zhao Qinghan gave Shen Muge another bowl of soup, put it next to Shen Muge, and told him to remember to drink it. After seeing that the two people at the table were taken care of, Zhao Qinghan served himself a bowl of soup and drank it slowly.
