Chapter 297: A Guest at the Villa (I)
At noon the next day, Ling Wanru called again, confirming that she would be a guest at Mingcui Villa tomorrow morning, and Li Youran told her the detailed address and driving route.
After ending the call, Li Youran went to the kitchen to find Uncle Qi and asked him to arrange for his guys to get a mandarin fish, a flower perch, two crucian carp, and a carp, deal with the pickling, and then prepare some dried tofu, gluten, vermicelli, etc.
As for the vegetables, they should be eaten fresh, so you can get them from the space when the time comes.
As a rule of thumb, the best way to treat guests at home is to barbecue and make dumplings. The advantage of these two foods is that everyone cooks the food together and chats while working, which is easy and emotional, and has a lot of fun.
This is much better than the usual format of the host's family stir-frying in the kitchen and the guests sitting on the sofa waiting.
Of course, the terrace barbecue is the classic reserved program of the Li family compound of Mingcui Villa, after many improvements, from the equipment to the food raw materials and even the operating procedures have reached a very perfect point, Luo Fatzi and others must eat two barbecues every time they go back, otherwise they will say that they will not have fun.
After explaining the matter, Li Youran returned to the corridor on the second floor, and when he passed by the finance room, he saw that Sun Xiaoying and Gu Weiwei were inside, and the business was busy during the 11th Golden Week, and the finance did not take a vacation. So he called the little girl out alone.
"Xiaoying, there are three big sisters going to the villa tomorrow as guests, let's go back together in the evening to prepare." Li Youran told her.
"Ah, which sister is it, do I know each other?" Sun Xiaoying asked strangely. In her impression, Brother Youran rarely interacts with young women, why do you want to come three at once?
"Well, you should have seen that I came to the bun shop hall for dinner at the beginning of the year, and I wanted to introduce you to each other at that time. As a result, you ran away. Li Youran remembered that Ling Wanru came to the bun shop that time.
"It's that beautiful sister. Well, I'm not going back. Sun Xiaoying also remembered when he mentioned it. For some reason, the little face suddenly drooped.
"What's wrong? Xiaoying. Li Youran asked strangely.
"It's nothing, Sister Vivi is busy here. I can't do without, Brother Youran, go back and entertain the guests yourself. After Sun Xiaoying finished speaking, she pouted and turned around and returned to the finance room.
Li Youran was stunned for a moment, touched his head, and seemed to realize something, but, alas. Let her go first, and then find a chance to talk to her later.
After dinner that day, Li leisurely drove back to Mingcui Villa alone, and the car refrigerator was filled with all kinds of ingredients prepared by the kitchen according to his requirements.
When he gets home, he first transfers the food to the refrigerator in the restaurant and then thinks about the accommodation of guests. Since there are three people coming, at least two rooms must be prepared. One of the two sub-bedrooms on the second floor is dedicated to Sun Xiaoying, and the other is dedicated to Li Fangcheng, which is inconvenient to move, but fortunately, there are two rooms on the first floor.
He then went to clean up the guest room. The various items in the room were well prepared, and they were just taken out and used.
The housekeeping service center of the property has the keys to the house, and people come regularly to do cleaning, so the rooms are also clean and clean, so you don't have to worry about it.
After doing these things, Li leisurely came to the terrace on the third floor to visit Jin Yu.
After several trainings to go into the city to "break face" and "break the street". Jin Yu was already familiar with the hustle and bustle of the streets and some of the people around Li Youran, but it was inconvenient to bring him to the city after all, so he was now placed on the terrace and was usually allowed to move freely.
What's more, the yard still needs it to take care of it. However, there is no need for special training in this area, because once the golden eagle recognizes the nest, then the area around the radius is regarded as its territory, and other animals are not allowed to invade. This awareness is innate.
Since Jin Yu's move in and public appearance, the courtyard has been more still, and the birds in the vicinity are almost nowhere to be seen. The deterrent power of birds of prey is super powerful, and dummy and bird repellents can't be compared to it. …,
When Jin Yu saw him, he took the initiative to call twice, and walked out of the wooden house, he hadn't seen him for two days, and he still felt a little affectionate. Li leisurely walked over and stroked its head and neck. Then add jerky and space stream water to the food bowl and water bowl, respectively.
After a period of feeding, he found that Jin Yu's interest in cooked meat seemed to be more than raw meat, which was unimaginable before, and it was probably thanks to the space stream.
But that's fine, Jin Yu slowly gets used to eating cooked meat, and the probability of getting into trouble will be much smaller. Li Youran thought of this, turned on the light and checked the terrace again, but found nothing like chickens and ducks, it seems that this guy still accepted the lesson.
After Jin Yu had dinner, Li leisurely leaned on the wooden pole and stood side by side with it. While stroking the feather on the back of the neck, he chatted with it.
Of course, there was no pressure on such a conversation, and Jin Yu listened intently, only occasionally whispering twice to express his opinion.
Early in the morning, Li Youran got up early, cleaned up the living room, and picked the freshest vegetables and a few big peaches from the space.
Since I have no experience, the last time I picked it, I thought that the space peaches had grown in size. Later, I found out that in fact, it was picked early, and the remaining peaches on the peach tree grew until about a pound before stabilizing. The color and shape are also more vivid and beautiful.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the car horn sounded outside the courtyard gate, and the red Mazda-3 finally arrived.
Li Youran pressed the gate switch with the remote control, and the car slowly drove in.
The door opened, and as a pair of black boots landed, a slender young woman wearing a mid-length light brown slim-fit trench coat was the first to get out of the car.
The shawl hair is still the same, the beautiful and fair melon seed face, the complexion is white and red, and it is still so pure and lovely. A pair of watery eyes looked at the surrounding environment curiously, and when looking forward to it, it had an elegant and elegant temperament.
I haven't seen it for a long time, and it seems to have added a little more mature charm than before. Li Youran's mood fluctuated a few times in a row, and he hurriedly stepped forward.
"It's like, you're here." He said in as calm a tone as he could.
"Giggles, Boss Xiao Li is really affectionate." Before Ling Wan could answer, a girl with a round face and a dark red coat got out of the driver's seat, rushing to shout.
"Go, what more mouths." Ling Wanru's face turned slightly red, slapped her, and said angrily.
"This is Su Yao, come on, come on, go into the house." Li leisurely greeted the guests.
"It's such a big yard, the air is so fresh, Boss Xiao Li, why don't you take us to visit the yard first." Su Yao looked around, with a look of envy in her eyes, and immediately made a request.
"Hey, don't keep calling Boss Xiao Li and Boss Xiao Li, listen to more life, just call me Brother Li." Li Youran knew that this Miss Su was very naughty, and she didn't care if she joked.
"Hehe, I don't call you brother." Su Yao tugged at Ling Wanru's arm and grimaced at him.
The last person to get out of the car was Fang Xiaoman, who was wearing black-framed glasses, wearing a black suit, not smiling, and her whole body was full of intellectual femininity.
Since Su Yao made a request, and the other two did not object, Li Youran naturally listened to it and took the three guests to walk around the courtyard.
Following the cobblestone path, everyone visited the pond, gazebo, woods, bamboo forest, glass conservatory, grape trellis and other courtyard landscapes.
"Ranzi, your yard occupies a lot of land." Ling Wanru looked around, the scale of the courtyard was far beyond her imagination, and she was quite surprised for a while.
"It's about two acres of land. In fact, I fell in love with this house mainly for this, the place is larger and you can have more fruit trees, raise more fish or something, and you know the things you raise, don't use those messy hormone additives or something, you can rest assured when you eat it, and it's fresh. Li said casually. …,
"Two acres of land, is it so big? I said how it looks like a small park. Su Yao's eyes widened in surprise.
"Green ecological planting and breeding, self-sufficiency, now this way of life is still very fashionable, but the conditions are limited, it is difficult to achieve." Fang Xiaoman looked at the happy fish in the pond and nodded in approval.
When turning to the grape trellis, Su Yao exclaimed in surprise:
"Look, it's beautiful."
Li Youran looked up, and sure enough, the vine actually hung fruit, and he really didn't notice it a few days ago. Among the palm-like leaves, clusters of purple grapes hang down, not small, full and round, like jewels.
Roughly calculated, there are about a dozen strings, after all, it is the first result, and the number will not be too much. Judging by its size, it should be a Kyoho variety.
"You're really blessed, this is the first time the grapes have produced fruit this year, and I haven't seen it before." Li said with a smile.
When Su Yao heard this, she was not polite, and immediately made a request to live the addiction of picking by hand.
Li Youran moved the ladder from the side, set it up under the vines, and after holding it steady, let Su Yao climb up, and took a pair of scissors from the space shelf while they were not paying attention, and handed it to the rather active girl.
Su Yao took the scissors and cut four bunches of grapes, and Ling Wanru and Fang Xiaoman followed. The grapes are heavy in the hand, and they also exude a faint sweet aroma, which is very pleasant to smell.
"Yaoyao, you're really greedy." Ling Wanru reproached.
"Hee-hee, don't eat it for a while." Su Yao smiled disapprethoughtly and climbed down the ladder.
After strolling around the courtyard, Li Youran took the three of them into the small building, put four bunches of grapes in the kitchen basin and poured water to soak them. Then show them around the room.
Lan Lan in the fish tank in the living room caught their attention, although they were not fish lovers, but Lan Lan's smooth body lines, a beautiful and dazzling blue color, even any layman would be amazed.
Especially when feeding, Lan Lan's smart and smart performance is even more lovely. As a result, just watching the fish took up half an hour.
