Chapter 77: It's You Again
So two women, one big and one small, began to toss in the kitchen, Xia Qinglan was twenty-seven years old, unmarried and had no partner, she was a single white-collar worker, she rented an apartment, she fed the whole family by herself and was not hungry, and she often made some snacks and soup by herself.
"Do you know that Mr. Chen doesn't like to eat dim sum the most, he is afraid of sweets." Xia Qinglan said with a smile, "The little girls in the company, every time they make biscuits and snacks and bring them to the company for distribution and give them to Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen always turns around and takes them to our secretary's office to digest them. β
Xu Nianran nodded, "Then I won't learn sweets." β
When Xia Qinglan heard her words, her eyes rolled and she smiled: "You can do whatever Mr. Chen likes?" β
"yes, or who else I'll make it for?" Xu Nianran replied as a matter of course.
"Oh, hehehehe." Xia Qinglan laughed twice with ulterior motives.
Women will want to cook something for men to eat, there is no treachery in this, who believes it?
The little light bulb in Xia Qinglan's heart lit up, cleared her throat, and said to Xu Nianran: "Nianran, let me tell you a simple dish, which is one of Mr. Chen's favorite dishes." β
"Well, you teach me." Xu Nianran was full of interest.
"Wait, you're going to use a food processor to make the meat foam first, and I'll be back right away!" Xia Qinglan said as she grabbed her wallet and rushed out.
Mr. Chen, tell you to usually recruit peach blossoms, and finally seize an opportunity to pit you, hahaha.
Xu Nianran didn't know that she was put on the table, and waited for Xia Qinglan stupidly to make meat foam, and after a while, she rang the doorbell with a bag of vegetables.
"Bitter gourd?" Xu Nianran picked the vegetables in the bag and took a big bitter gourd in one hand.
"Well, Mr. Chen likes to eat stuffed bitter gourd in Cantonese cuisine." Xia Qinglan nodded firmly.
Xu Nianran tilted his head, bitter gourd, a vegetable that most people don't like to eat very much, doesn't seem to see the big demon king like to eat it very much? His preferences are quite special, huh?
So Xu Nianran honestly followed Xia Qinglan's instructions, from washing the bitter gourd, cutting the bitter gourd, removing the gourd, filling, cooking to the final stacking, all by hand.
Looking at the stuffed bitter gourd stacked in the shape of plum blossoms, Xu Nianran felt a sense of accomplishment.
When Chen Youfei went home, Xu Nianran did not come to the entrance to pick him up, but uncovered the lid of the pot in the kitchen, and was busy bringing out the stuffed bitter gourd he had made to offer treasure.
"What is this?" Chen Youfei looked at Xu Nianran in front of him and asked curiously.
Xu Nianran was wearing an apron, wearing anti-scald gloves in both hands, holding a delicate plate, in which there were good-looking bitter melons.
"Stuffed bitter gourd! Isn't that your favorite dish? I did! Xu Nianran held the saucer, his eyes shining.
Praise me, praise me, praise me!
Chen Youfei smiled and said, "It's good to know that I can learn to cook, but do you let me eat it with my hands?" β
Xu Nianran sighed, "Yes, yes, I forgot to take chopsticks, wait!" She ran back to the kitchen with the plate in hand.
Chen and Fei's eyelids jumped twice, bitter melon? Here's who came up with the dish!
Xia Qinglan came out with a fruit bowl and nodded, "Mr. Chen, Nianran left me for dinner together, should you drive me?" β
"You stop." Chen Youfei lowered his voice gloomily, "This is what you taught?" β
"Mr. Chen, Nian Ran said, 'Don't be picky with Brother Fei', so I picked up a dish you don't like to eat to make your nutrition balanced...... This is done by Nianran, it must not be bitter, it is sweet, don't worry. Xia Qinglan pinched a cherry and stuffed it into her mouth, and said with a smile.
Sweet ghost, sweet, this bitter gourd has not been watered, it is extremely bitter, and it is steamed, and the bitterness has entered the meatballs!
Chen Youfei wanted to spit it out after taking a bite, but Xu Nianran looked at him eagerly on the side, and he could only reluctantly eat one.
"Secretary Xia, this is Nian Ran's chef debut, you can't do it if you don't cheer." Chen Youfei pushed the plate in front of Secretary Xia.
Xia Qinglan generously picked up a piece, "Bitter gourd is a good thing for beauty and slimming, women are not afraid of eating bitter gourd." After speaking, he took a bite as if showing off, and added: "Nian Ran, you did a good job, it's delicious!" β
Xu Nianran was skeptical, she clamped a piece herself, bit it down, and stuck out her tongue bitterly.
"Sister Xia, you lie, how can this kind of thing be delicious?"
"You don't understand this, why is bitter gourd called bitter gourd, the more bitter the better! The nutrients are all in this bitter taste! Otherwise, how could Mr. Chen like to eat, right, Mr. Chen? Xia Qinglan asked with a smile.
Chen Youfei also smiled, but replied to the question: "Do you want to travel to Africa at public expense?" Recently, the company wanted to collect some diamonds and colored stones. β
Secretary Xia's face did not change, but the wind in his mouth reversed, "But this bitter gourd is too bitter, I didn't expect it to be so bitter when I bought it, it's too bitter and not good for the taste buds, come on, try the lemon chicken I made!" β
Xia Qinglan ran to the kitchen to serve the dishes, Chen Youfei pushed the plate to the side and said, "However, in the future, the bitter gourd will have to pass through the water first, so that it is not so bitter." β
Xu Nianran wrinkled his nose and pouted, "Actually, what I make is very delicious, right?" β
"It's not unpleasant, it's just that the bitter gourd is too bitter, and the other flavors are covered, and I will improve it next time." Chen Youfei touched her cheek with a smile, and said with emotion: "I thought that I would have to wait a few more years to eat the dinner you made myself, but I didn't expect it to be so soon." β
Xu Nianran rubbed his palm and laughed, "It's just a dish!" I'm going to buy bitter melon tomorrow to try! β
ββ¦β¦ Is it good to try a different dish? β
Although Xia Qinglan's original intention was to pit Chen Youfei, it provided Xu Nianran with a good way to pass the time, and she now pesters Xia Qinglan to come over to teach her how to cook every day after work.
Chen Youfei walked out of the office and knocked on the door frame of the secretary's room, where several secretaries were preparing to leave work.
"Secretary Xia." Chen Youfei said hello, and the people inside all looked up at their bosses, he smiled and tilted his head outward: "What, do you want me to invite you in person?" βγ
Xia Qinglan hurriedly packed her handbag and replied, "Okay, okay, just come." He threw his bag over his shoulder and trotted out of the office in his high heels.
"Mr. Chen, you are taking revenge!" Xia Qinglan shook her head and sighed: "Your voice, tomorrow I will be the company's gossip headline." β
Chen Youfei smiled, "Not only are you better at work than others, but you also have a high emotional intelligence." β
"After the award, I just firmly established the principle of 'only treat you as a passerby after work', I think you must hate workplace love." Xia Qinglan replied while fastening her seat belt.
"Love in the workplace......" Chen Youfei imagined for a moment that Xu Nianran wore professional clothes to accompany him to work, maybe he would be scolded by him for doing something wrong, and then he evaded punishment by being coquettish and cute.
"Not bad, actually." He laughed and said, "But we'll have to wait a few more years......
Xu Nianran couldn't understand Chen Youfei's mood, watching the fruit ripen every day, and having to endure the urge to pick it off, and continue to work hard to loosen the soil and water it.
She is now experiencing the feeling of being stuck to the dog skin plaster and not being able to shake it off.
"It's you again!" Xu Nianran saw the tall figure at the entrance of the teaching building, and 10,000 sheep and camels roared past in his heart.
"Yes, it's me again." Ning Shao raised his eyebrows, stepped forward and said, "Let's go, I invite youβ"
"I'm not available today!"
"Tomorrowβ"
"I'm not free tomorrow! It's not free every day! β
Ning Shao took a step back when he heard this, put his hands in his pockets, and said with a smile: "Little girl, you are a student, what you can squander except youth is time, you are not free?" Could it be that you are busier than me? β
"Who cares if you're busy or not!" Xu Nianran pushed him, left the public's sight, and hid behind a large column under the dome of the teaching building.
"Ning Shao, I'm really not available!" Xu Nianran decided to tell the truth, "I've been busy learning to cook with people recently, and people are waiting for me, so I don't have time to play." β
She originally wanted to say, I don't have time to pay attention to you, but she hesitated when she was about to speak, Ning Shao is much more than Chen Youfei, if she says too much, it will have the opposite effect, so it's better not to be quick for a while.
"Cooking?" Ning Shao said strangely: "Chen Hefei can't afford to hire a servant? Do you want your child daughter-in-law to take care of the kitchen? β
Xu Nianran grinded his teeth and stared at him hatefully.
"Don't let me faint again, let me faint again, I'm going to fall on you, let others post our intimate contact on the Internet, and everyone will make headlines together." Ning Shao said with a grin.
"Get out of the way, I'm busy going home." Xu Nianran raised his foot and kicked it.
If it is an ordinary person, when he sees someone kicking over, his first reaction is to dodge, but Ning Shao is also a child who grew up in the compound, and he has learned Sanda military body defense techniques since he was a child.
Although it is a little worse than the children of military families like Chen Youfei, it is still okay to deal with a little girl.
As soon as Xu Nianran's foot kicked over, he was sideways, shortened, clamped her calf with his elbow, and then stood up straight, Xu Nianran was almost overturned.
She held on to the pillar next to her in a panic, hating the hippie-smiling man in front of her.
"Tsk, this position is more difficult, see how far your legs can split." Ning Shao smiled and looked at the root of Xu Nianran's legs.
Lonely can be split left and right! It's your business! Xu Nianran really wanted to spray his face.
"Girls, don't lift your legs easily." Ning Shao said, and let go of Xu Nianran's calf.
"Phew, you villain, you bully people everywhere with a few taels of strength, get out, it's annoying to see you!" Xu Nianran pushed him irritably.
"If you want me to go, you can go." Ning Shao clasped Xu Nianran's wrist and didn't let her pull her hand.
As soon as he heard this tone, he wanted to talk about the conditions, Xu Nianran was so angry that he closed his eyes, and he was really afraid that he couldn't help but stare at him fiercely again, and let him go to the hospital to sleep again!
ββ¦β¦ I'm going to eat your dish today, and you agreed, and I'll let go now. β
It's really a pit after a pit, and the pits are interlocking, it's like a bandit saying to you, hey, give me all the money, and I won't rob you later.
