The dishes chosen by Yi Baitang are not complicated.

The two fish that Shang Huaiyan picked were sea bass, so he made a steamed sea bass.

The sea bass is scaled and gutted, and the steamer is washed and boiled, and the water is not on the fire, but only the lid is covered, and it is slowly steamed with hot steam.

Then start preparing the most important sauce of the dish.

Set aside lemon, olive oil, ginger, chilli, leek, coriander, sea salt and pepper.

Take the lime for the lemon, use the lemon zest for the lime, cut the ginger into thin shredded ginger, choose the kind that is not too spicy and cut it into circles, remove the leaves of the coriander, slice the leek, and put it in a pot with sea salt, pepper, and olive oil to boil.

At this time, the half-raw sea bass is removed from the pot, and the boiled juice is poured over the fish like a topping, and then the fish is cut into very thin slices with a knife, but no piece of fish leaves the fish, and the fish is placed on a plate like a blooming flower.

At this point, the fish is covered with plastic wrap along with the sauce and ice cubes that have just been removed from the refrigerator are piled on top.

When the ice cubes turn into water, the hot fish and the sauce also become warm and cool, cold in the mouth, warm in the stomach, just in this hot summer.

Two plates of fish were placed on the table.

But of course, there are not only two plates of fish for dinner, but there are also three dishes and one soup left, all of which Yi Baitang does when he sees what is in the vegetable basket, and serves it after cooking.

As the only third person on the scene, Shang Huaiyan was treated as a guest, and the two plates were exactly the same, and the neat fish were placed in front of him together.

Shang Huaiyan pinched the chopsticks, trying to distinguish the difference from the shape of the fish and the knife work, but failed; tried to get a hint from the expressions of Yi Baitang and Old Man Dong, but it was still unsuccessful.

He had no choice but to pick up his chopsticks, trust his tongue, and taste the fish on the left.

Sweet and refreshing.

Tender and juicy.

The entrance is both melted.

Turning into a delicious sweet spring, shaking its head and tail all the way from the throat into the stomach, and swimming in the stomach again, like a real fish jumping into your stomach, a dish is eaten alive!

At this time, Shang Huaiyan was suddenly able to understand Yi Baitang's mood when he said what he said just now.

Actually, it's not that ridiculous......

With great perseverance, he moved his chopsticks away from Old Man Dong's fish and turned them to Yi Baitang's fish.

- That's right, at the moment when the fish was eaten, he had clearly distinguished which dish was made by Old Man Dong and which dish was made by Yi Baitang.

When the chopsticks sandwiched Yi Baitang's fish meat into his mouth again, Shang Huaiyan felt relaxed physically and mentally.

It is indeed my family's Baitang Bao.

As soon as you eat it, it tastes sweet.

And it's also sweet and cool, tender and juicy, and melts in your mouth!

But it seems to ......

Speaking of which......

Why does eating a fish dish make you feel like the fish is in your stomach? This is obviously not in line with the laws of objective science! Maybe it was just my delusion.

Shang Huaiyan pinched the chopsticks, and couldn't decide whether to eat another clip, always feeling that if he ate another clip over there, it would mean that Yi Baitang's cooking was not as delicious as his grandfather's cooking......

Looking at Shang Huaiyan's appearance, Yi Baitang understood everything.

His face turned green, he didn't want to look at Shang Huaiyan at all, and said to Old Man Dong expressionlessly, "You won." ”

Old man Dong: "Uh-"

He leaned back on his chaise longue and swayed slowly, and said with a victorious indifference, "All right, eat." Then he pushed the plate of fish he made in front of Yi Baitang, "Eat." ”

Yi Baitang sat down with hatred, sandwiched all the fish of Old Man Dong into his bowl, sandwiched all the fish he made into Shang Huaiyan's bowl, ate all the fish himself, and stared at Shang Huaiyan to eat all the fish!

After the meal, the two young men all held their stomachs.

Yi Baitang washed the dishes, pulled Shang Huaiyan to stand up, and said to Old Man Dong, "I'm leaving with him." ”

Old man Dong: "Hmm. ”

Yi Baitang: "The next time we meet, it's time for the King of Chefs competition." ”

Old man Dong: "Hmm. ”

Yi Baitang solemnly: "I will defeat you." ”

Old man Dong: "Hehe." ”

After saying these three sentences, Yi Baitang pulled Shang Huaiyan and walked towards the door, and when he stepped out of the threshold, the indifferent voice of the old man Dong came from behind:

"Your mother left because I didn't agree with her."

Yi Baitang turned his head and complained expressionlessly: "My mother and my father divorced because of their disagreement, and my mother's departure was also inconsistent with your concept." ”

Old man Dong was lying on the rocking chair.

The sun had set, and the stars were everywhere, and he said in the night:

"Your mom doesn't have a different idea about food than I do. We couldn't merge, so I let her go. ”

On the way back from Dongjia Village, the lights are dim, the traffic is busy, and when you look at the ground from the sky, the stars in the sky are all falling on the earth, illuminating the road ahead.

When he returned home, Shang Huaiyan first drove Yi Baitang to take a shower, and then sat on the sofa to think about life.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye, Shang Huaiyan suddenly woke up, looked left and right, and found that Yi Baitang, who was taking a bath in the bathroom, had not come out yet, so he couldn't help getting up and knocked on the bathroom door:

"Baitang?"

"Gollum."

"Baitang ......?"

"Gollum."

Shang Huaiyan directly opened the door of the bathroom, and in the mist, he saw Yi Baitang lying on his back in the jacuzzi. The massage function of the bathtub is turned on, the water flow bubbles like a ball in the middle of the bathtub, Yi Baitang only has eyes, nose, and mouth floating on the water, and is using his mouth to simulate a fish's mouth, following the water bubbles, gurgling and spitting water.

Under the flow of water, the beauty is delicious.

Shang Huaiyan saw that Yi Baitang was playing in the water, and he was not in a hurry, he stood at the door and admired it well, and then rolled up his sleeves and walked to the bathtub, his palm probed into the water, and his fingertips swirled ambiguously around Yi Baitang's shoulders and neck, and asked, "Why are you in the mood to play like this today?" ”

Yi Baitang: "I ate a fish at night, Gollum." ”

Shang Huaiyan: "So? ”

Yi Baitang: "When I saw the water, I suddenly wanted to live the life of a fish, grunt." ”

Shang Huaiyan praised: "The old man's craftsmanship is good enough. ”

This sentence instantly made Yi Baitang regain his human consciousness!

I saw Yi Baitang, who was sitting in the bathtub, his expression tightened, and the hatred of being defeated by the same person for twenty years instantly surged into his heart, he sat up from the water with a "bang", pulled the white towel on the side, and wiped the water droplets on his body:

"Good, I'm sober."

Shang Huaiyan: "...... No, you don't have to wake up so early. ”

He regretted it a little, he had just spent all his time feasting his eyes, thinking about it step by step, but the duck who had stripped off was seeing that he was getting dressed again......

But forget it, it's a long way to go.

There will be bread, there will be milk, and there will be water play sooner or later.

Shang Huaiyan pulled the towel on the side, pressed the water droplets on his face for Yi Baitang, wiped his wet hair one by one, shuttled his fingertips into the wet hair, slowly groped, and after a while, he felt the scars hidden by his hair.

The scar was indeed inconspicuous.

If you don't pay close attention, it's easy to ignore the past, but once you consciously explore, even after 20 years, you can still clearly see how long this opening was at that time.

Shang Huaiyan took his finger and circled it twice, and then heard Yi Baitang suddenly ask:

"You're moving fast today."

"What move?" Shang Huaiyan was stunned.

"Our business." Yi Baitang said that he was a little unhappy, and always felt that this matter should be said by himself, even if it was not said by himself, it should be said when the two of them were together, so he made a small accusation, "I went into the kitchen to take a turn, you have already said it." ”

"But I didn't say anything...... Shang Huaiyan replied.

"Huh?" Yi Baitang.

"I really didn't say anything." Shang Huaiyan emphasized.

The two looked at each other.

"Then why is the old man so sure?" Yi Baitang was confused.

"I don't know...... Shang Huaiyan couldn't figure it out, "Did someone sue him?" ”

"Is it possible?" Yi Baitang wasn't sure, he did take Shang Huaiyan to meet one or two people who were in contact with the old man recently.

If you can't figure it out, you won't want to think about it for the time being, but the result is the same anyway. Shang Huaiyan changed the topic and talked about more important things.

"What do you think of what Grandpa said about your mother at night?"

"What do you think?"

"Do you think that's how it used to be?"

"Yes."

"So sure?" Shang Huaiyan was stunned.

"He won't lie to me." When Yi Baitang said this, he paused, a trace of strangeness flashed across his face, and there was a shadow of embarrassment, "It's that sometimes it's just joking, sometimes half of what he says, and sometimes he deliberately misleads me - anyway, in addition to his cooking skills, the probability that he will honestly talk to me is about 30 percent." ”

"That's a lot...... Shang Huaiyan said against his will.

"I'm going to meet her." Yi Baitang said in a deep voice.

"Hmm-" Shang Huaiyan quickly replied, "When are you going to see her?" ”

"There's no rush yet." Yi Baitang felt that his hair was almost wiped by someone, he stood up from the water, shook his hair, and the remaining water droplets were all contributed to Shang Huaiyan's clothes, "Wait until I finish tomorrow's Chef King Competition, and then go to her." Since it is so troublesome to know the truth about the past from others, I will just ask her directly when the time comes. ”

"Okay." Shang Huaiyan looked at Yi Baitang and smiled slowly. He also stood up, put on a bathrobe for Yi Baitang, and gently pinched the other party's shoulder socket, and kissed the scar under his hair with his head sideways, "No smoke, I'll go out to buy a pack of cigarettes." ”

In the middle of the night, Shang Huaiyan, who was driving out, first called his assistant to find the whereabouts of a person. After getting the confirmation from the assistant, he turned the wheel, pulled the car in front of a gear shift on a busy street, and then got out of the car and smoked a cigarette.

There are people coming and going at the entrance of the stalls, and it takes three to five minutes for a group of people to enter and exit.

Shang Huaiyan leaned on the side of the car door and smoked two puffs of cigarettes, and saw Yuan Hui talking and laughing with a group of people, and walked out of the food stall.

On the side of the road, silver-gray BMWs glitter under the street lamps, and the men leaning on the doors of the BMWs stand in a dashing manner.

Yuan Hui and the others saw this scene the first moment they walked out.

His first reaction:

I'm rubbing, sassy bag!

Second Reaction:

the male public enemy, I want to get him a black sack!

Third Reaction:

Hey, this guy is recruiting me?

Shang Huaiyan made a special trip to block Yuan Hui.

He saw someone, raised his hand and beckoned at them.

Only then did Yuan Hui see clearly who was standing in front of the BMW, and he was displeased: Won't you make a sound if something happens? You're waving like that, right?

But the people around him have been:

"Hey, the BMW man is waving at us!"

"Who is he calling?"

Several people looked at each other, but Yuan Hui did not react, and it was not surprising that he suddenly pushed people with a smile:

"It turned out that he came to find Yuan Shao!"

"Yuan Shao has so many friends, go quickly, we will wait for you!"

Yuan Hui was suddenly pushed out of the crowd, and he walked forward helplessly, and walked to Shang Huaiyan in a few steps: "Mr. Shang, what a coincidence." ”

Shang Huaiyan Yile: "Unfortunately, I came to you specifically." ”

Yuan Hui had no choice but to ask, "What's the matter?" ”

Shang Huaiyan said: "Twenty years have passed, why did you suddenly appear in front of Bai Tang? ”

Yuan Hui was bland: "Because my stepmother has been thinking about him." When I was a kid, I couldn't help it, and I was scared. When I grow up, I want to fulfill my stepmother's wishes, and that's all. ”

Shang Huaiyan: "Hmm......"

He took out a cigarette and handed it to Yuan Hui, while he bit the e-cigarette: "Have you ever thought about one thing?" ”

Yuan Hui wondered: "What's the matter?" ”

Shang Huaiyan: "The only reason in the world for a mother who still loves her child to refuse to see her own child...... Most of the time, she did something that made her feel that she couldn't face her children. ”

Yuan Hui raised his eyes and glanced at Shang Huaiyan carefully: "You want to ruin their meeting?" ”

"Me?" Shang Huaiyan smiled and shook his head, "No, I won't do this, as for what kind of person my mother is, if Bai Tang doesn't have the right to know, no one else in the world is qualified to know about this." I'm just here to warn you......" he put his finger up to his mouth, "you're trying to make this happen, and it may not turn out as you expected." ”

After he finished speaking, he nodded politely to Yuan Hui, reopened the car door, and drove away.

That night, Shang Huaiyan returned home and slept with Yi Baitang in his arms.

Yi Baitang turned over: "Go and watch me play tomorrow." ”

Shang Huaiyan agreed: "Okay, no problem, I'll go with you!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly reacted: "Wait, what time is tomorrow?" The company seems to have a shareholder meeting to meet. ”

Yi Baitang: "......"

Shang Huaiyan: "......"

Shang Huaiyan was anxious, and hurriedly coaxed: "Don't be angry, baby, next time, I will definitely accompany you next time!" ”

Yi Baitang snorted coldly: "No need." ”

Shang Huaiyan: Really angry QvQ?

Yi Baitang was arrogant and domineering: "When will you finish the meeting?" I'll put off the game until the moment you're done! ”
