It's afternoon, and it's a good time for everyone to take a nap.

The kitchen was quiet, and the cooks were taking advantage of the time to go to a nap or go about their own business.

Gu Yan looked at the complete pineapple in a daze, he didn't know how to start, the pineapple was placed on the cutting board, next to a kitchen knife, for safety, he chose the lightest kitchen knife in the kitchen, for fear that he would miss it, and then chop his hand.

Qingqing sat by the stove and waited for Gu Yan's order, and then started to burn the fire, Gu Ling stood beside him, still holding the piece of paper that made zuò pineapple fried rice in his hand.

Li Yixin moved a stool and sat opposite them, looking at them with a smile, just to see what they were going to do, for a long time, he didn't see Gu Yan do it, Gu Ling was anxious, and asked: "What are you doing, why don't you do it, will the pineapple and rice run into the pot by themselves and then turn into pineapple fried rice?" ”

Hearing such playful words, Li Yixin smiled, shook his head and didn't say anything to see what they were going to do, Gu Yan also smiled, and then turned around and said embarrassedly: "I don't know how to start, every time I see a pineapple, it has become a small piece, and there is a cute bamboo stick on it, just waiting for me to eat it." ”

"Don't you two be funny, won't you? If you grind it any longer, it will be dark. ”

Li Yixin smiled, pointed to the sky outside, heard the ancient saying that he didn't know how to get pineapple skin, Qingqing walked over from the stove, and was about to help but was stopped by Li Yixin raised his hand and said: "Qingqing, don't pay attention to him, let him do it himself, do it himself, and he can get his daughter-in-law, why not do it." ”

"That's it, we've helped you so much, the ancient saying is that you do it yourself, and we'll worship on the side."

The more the joke became, the more outrageous it became, Li Yixin was speechless, spread his hands and said helplessly: "Only a person with a low IQ like me knows how to get the pineapple peel off, and you can't be an elite in a shopping mall?" ”

"I really don't know how to get it, I remember they peeled it first, and then"

Gu Yan recalled that he remembered that he had accidentally seen it before, and that time he gave a casual glance and left, he had never been to the vegetable market, so he didn't know many things at all.

"But we don't have this kind of tool here, so we can only find our own way, and use the old way."

Gu Ling also smiled, Qingqing was also anxious when he saw it, and he didn't care if Li Yixin didn't want her to help, so he reminded.

"Use a kitchen knife to cut off one end of the pineapple with leaves, then cut off the other end, then cut the rest in half in half, and then cut each half evenly into four parts, and finally, divide the four parts into eight parts.

Take one of the pineapples, use the fruit knife to make a few even cuts horizontally, do not cut through, and then use the fruit knife to peel off the pineapple skin from one end, and cut off all the pineapple flesh in turn in the same way. ”

Qingqing explained the method and demonstrated, and soon after she finished speaking, the whole pineapple was peeled, the pineapple skin was on the side, and the pineapple flesh was on the plate.

Seeing Qingqing's skillful peeling of pineapples, Gu Ling was also very impressed, and when he saw that Qingqing was about to bring the peeled pineapple to Gu Yan, Gu Ling stretched out his hand and snatched it back, and then instructed Qingqing: "Qingqing go and get a basin of cold boiled water, put a little salt, and bring it to the yard, let's bubble the pineapple, and then you can eat it." ”

The whole kitchen was filled with the sweet and sour smell of ripe pineapple, and Gu Yan immediately stopped doing it, and hurriedly said: "This is the pineapple I use to make pineapple fried rice, what ingredients do you eat I use to make pineapple fried rice." ”

"I don't remember what Yixin told you before, only by doing everything can you impress your sweetheart, and then you can have a lover and eventually become a family."

Li Yixin also nodded and said, "Brother Gu Yan, you can get it yourself, let's go taste the pineapple first, and come back later." ”

"Well, let's go first, you try first."

Gu Ling smiled and held the pineapple on the plate and went outside, Li Yixin stood up and didn't speak, and followed.

Gu Yan was also helpless, so he could only bury his head and slowly learn to peel off the pineapple flesh in the way Qingqing had just demonstrated.

The pineapple slices were placed in the basin and placed next to them, Li Yixin and Gu Ling sat on the chairs next to them, Qingqing stood beside them, and she didn't dare to tell her to sit down.

"Qingqing, has the housekeeper made any unusual moves recently?"

Li Yixin invited Qingqing to ask in a low voice, Qingqing looked around to make sure that there was no one before he replied in a low voice: "It's no different, it's just that he won't wander around if there is no big thing to find him now, and he locks himself in his room all day long, and he doesn't know what he's doing." ”

"Did he like to walk around before?"

Li Yixin asked, remembering the funny appearance of the lame butler limping again, and couldn't help but not laugh.

"Yes, he used to like to walk around the house with a lameness, like a ghost, and sometimes in the middle of the night he would find that he didn't go to sleep, and many maids and servants were frightened by him. But lately, I don't know what's wrong with him, he doesn't go anywhere, he often locks himself in his room, and he doesn't know what he's doing. ”

"Is that the last time?"

Gu Ling bit the pineapple and asked, just after eating the pineapple, she was sour all of a sudden, and then she narrowed her eyes.

Qingqing nodded, thought for a while and said, "He just started to like to walk around for about a month, that is, before you came here, and now he likes to lock himself in the house, which is the time when you come back." ”

Hearing such news, Li Yixin and Gu Ling nodded tacitly, knowing that there was a problem in this, they didn't tell Qingqing, but just asked Qingqing to see if Gu Yan needed help.

Qingqing obediently answered "yes" and then went to the house, and when she left, Li Yixin whispered: "Sure enough, it's the same as what we saw, there is really a problem with the single housekeeper." ”

"Do you understand what is written on the note on the pigeon's feet?"

Li Yixin shook his head and replied helplessly: "I don't understand, it's like a ghost drawing, what kind of code should it be, it's strange how this carrier pigeon landed in Sister Qiaoyan's yard, is this carrier pigeon to deliver information to Sister Qiaoyan?" ”

"Isn't it?"

Gu Linghu said suspiciously, and then said: "I was walking around the house before, and I heard the maids and servants in the house talking about how a few teenagers were playing under the wall outside the house last night, and those teenagers were known by the servants, as if they had shot a pigeon or something. ”

"Even so, the matter is still related to Sister Qiaoyan, our chips are all on Brother Gu Yan, it depends on whether he can move Sister Qiaoyan."

"That's why you urged Gu Yan to be with Sister Qiao Yan early?"

Hearing this, he was inevitably a little surprised, Li Yixin nodded with a smile, and then said: "This is only one of the reasons, if there is enough time, they can develop slowly, but there is no way, there is an accident on the doll's side, and the matter is also related to me, and I can only go back to solve it."

But I can't leave if the matter here is not resolved, otherwise Brother Gu Yan and Sister Qiao Yan will have to wait for the opportunity again, I am afraid that things will change again while they are waiting, so it will be troublesome. ”

"Also, things are getting more and more complicated, and they are all related to you, and Gu Yan and I can't help if we want to."

Seeing Li Yixin rubbing her forehead helplessly, she couldn't help it, just when they wanted to say something more, Qingqing came out of the kitchen, and then they shut up.

Coming to their side, Qingqing saluted respectfully, and then said, "Gu Gongzi has done it, please ask the two young ladies to help." ”

"Did he make it himself?"

Gu Ling didn't believe it at all, and Li Yixin also stared at Qingqing, waiting for her to answer.

"Yes, Gu Gongzi made it himself, and I just told him the steps next to him."

Qingqing replied, Gu Ling smiled contentedly, and then said, "It's pretty much the same. ”

"Let's go and see if we can help Brother Gu Yan."

Li Yixin stood up and walked to the kitchen, Gu Ling threw away the bamboo stick in his hand and followed, Qingqing followed in an orderly manner, and the three of them walked to the kitchen. (To be continued.) )
