Sixth, Scrooge + foodie

Zhang Longqian remembered that there was a street in the central block that was similar to a vegetable market, so she made a list and asked Liao Lei to go there to buy vegetables.

It's obviously the one who was invited, but if you want to eat, you have to go to the vegetable market yourself to start with the ingredients?

It is estimated that no one will be happy if it is changed, let alone Master Liao, who has lived for so many years, and has basically buried himself in research, but he still obediently agreed.

Without him, it was just because Zhang Longqian made a phone call in front of him.

"Xiao Miao, I'm going to open my own small stove...... Yes, I don't need you to buy the ingredients for me, I just need you to help me destroy the food...... Well, Xiao Lu will also call it...... Okay, then I'll have your share ready! ”

After a few words and hung up the phone, Zhang Long sneaked into Liao Lei, whose eyes were a little glowing, and smiled: "Xiao Miao, there are two things she can't refuse in her life, one is money, and the other is food." ”

So Young Master Liao, who had never been in the kitchen since he was a child, and at most could barely distinguish the grains, was willing to run errands for Zhang Longqian.

And Zhang Longqian and Ji Haiyun returned to his residence in advance.

The place where Ji Haiyun lives is a fairly complete courtyard, there are many bedrooms and studyes, and naturally there is also a kitchen, although there are no modern things such as gas and induction cookers, but they can be used, so Zhang Longqian decided to cook a meal by himself here.

After all, the money to buy vegetables is much less than that of going to a restaurant, and you can ask Zhou Miao to give Liao Lei a favor, why not?

Zhang Longqian stood in the kitchen and looked around, thinking about how to use the kitchen utensils inside, when he heard Ji Haiyun at the door ask her.

"Miss, is this good?"

didn't understand what Ji Haiyun was referring to, Zhang Longqian looked at him: "What?" ”

"Didn't you partner with Young Master Lei before? I'm still calling them both to ......."

"It's okay, I didn't say it because I was afraid of being obstructed by Xiao Miao, but now that we have all signed up, it's useless to say anything, even if Xiao Miao is dissatisfied, he won't do such a wasted thing. Well...... But ignoring me, there will definitely be a little bit of it......" Zhang Longqian smiled lightly as he spoke, a little bitter, but more confident, "But it's okay, Xiao Miao is the most ruthless in the food I cooked, and as long as I do more to show off my art after that, she won't be too angry." ”

Ji Haiyun couldn't help but laugh.

After making sure that everything in the kitchen was basically complete, Zhang Longqian went to the room to sit, during which she also made a few phone calls, including Zuo Ling and Mo Ruyu, she invited, after all, if there were many people, Zhou Miao would not feel so embarrassed.

However, Zuo Ling has been busy with graduation research in addition to substitute teaching recently, so he can only politely refuse Zhang Longqian's invitation, and Mo Ruyu, who has just entered the Mo family, is busy because of the arrangement of the new course, and has no free time.

As a result, it was only Bai Lu and Nangong Piao who could come.

Although he was a little worried about Zhou Miao's reaction because the number of people was too small, Zhang Longqian had no other way but to hope that his skills would be able to block Zhou Miao's dissatisfaction in an instant.

It didn't take long for Bai Lu to arrive first, and she didn't come alone.

When she saw Nangong Piao who was accompanying Bai Lu, Zhang Longqian's heart moved slightly, and then she asked Nangong Piao suspiciously: "Why didn't Cang Yan come with you?" ”

Nangong Piao was a little surprised by Zhang Longqian's affirmative tone without looking around, but he didn't think much about it, and immediately replied with a smile: "I'm sorry Long Qian, I'm not here for the banquet, I just sent Xiaolu over, and I'm going back soon, so there's no trouble Yan coming." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but feel a little lost in her heart, but she didn't understand what she was missing, at this time, looking at Bai Lu and Nangong Piao, who were close to saying goodbye, she couldn't help laughing, and that bit of loss was ignored by her.

"Tsk, is it going well?"

Bai Lu, who was waving his hand and looking at Nangong drifting away, couldn't help but blush, turned around and went into the house to sit down and drink tea silently, shy and afraid to look at Zhang Longqian's ridiculous gaze.

Zhang Longqian and Ji Haiyun both smiled secretly.

Estimating that Liao Lei was about to come back, Zhang Longqian thought about it and told Bai Lu in advance, so as not to make a fuss when she saw the rumored "poisonous son".

In fact, Bai Lu had seen Liao Lei in the maze before, but at that time both parties were not in a state, she didn't notice Liao Lei at all, and now when she heard Zhang Longqian say this, she was not nervous, it must be a lie, but it was not as fierce as Zhang Longqian imagined, but there was just a common uneasiness in the face of strangers.

After asking two sentences suspiciously, Zhang Longqian understood the reason.

Once Bai Lu was highly poisonous in the Demon Slaying Forest and there was no cure, it was thanks to the Gu that Zhou Miao got from Liao Lei that he was able to drag until he found the antidote, for Bai Lu, no matter what reason Liao Lei gave Zhou Miao that Gu, he was half of her life-saving benefactor.

So even if he knew that the other party was a "poisonous son", Bai Lu was not so afraid when facing Cang Yan.

This made Zhang Longqian feel a little more at ease, and it happened that Liao Lei came back with a bunch of ingredients in stride, so she introduced both parties, and then went into the kitchen alone with a bunch of ingredients, while Ji Haiyun stayed outside to chat with Bai Lu and Liao Lei.

In fact, Bai Lu and Liao Lei get along quite well, even if Ji Haiyun is not there, it doesn't matter, but when Zhou Miao comes, it will definitely not be like this, Zhang Longqian will definitely not be able to appease in time if he is busy cooking vegetables, if Ji Haiyun is not even there......

Zhang Longqian didn't dare to imagine that picture, so he could only ask Ji Haiyun, who could perfectly control the topic, to stay to appease Zhou Miao.

If it was Liao Lei's temperament, he would definitely rather close his eyes and recuperate than talk too much to a little girl like Bai Lu, but Bai Lu, like Zhang Longqian, was Zhou Miao's best friend, so he tried his best to pick up Bai Lu's words and chatted with her little by little.

Of course, the main purpose is to extract information about Zhou Miao.

Looking at Liao Lei, who was full of joy because she knew a little detail about Zhou Miao, Ji Haiyun, who was drinking tea and occasionally saying a word or two to control the topic, laughed secretly.

If you tell others that the gloomy "poisonous son" will also show this kind of expression, I guess no one will believe it.

After chatting like this for a while, Bai Lu finally lost his fear of Liao Lei, and the words gradually became more, but seeing that he always looked out of the door from time to time, he couldn't help but wonder: "Young Master Lei, what are you looking at?" ”

"No...... That one...... I heard that Zhou Miao will be coming as well...... Why haven't you seen anyone yet? ”

Saying these words, Liao Lei's expression seemed a little unnatural, but the simple-minded Bai Lu didn't think much about it, but just giggled: "Xiao Miao, she will calculate the benefits and disadvantages of everything, so every time Long Qian says that she wants to invite her to dinner by herself, she will definitely estimate the time to arrive at the moment before the food is served, and never give Long Qian the slightest chance to ask her for help!" ”

Ji Haiyun couldn't help but laugh: "Miss Zhou Miao is also too shrewd, right?" ”

"Right?"

Looking at Bai Lu and Ji Haiyun who were smiling, Liao Lei still couldn't see any trace of a smile on his face, but when he turned his head to look out of the door, his gaze softened a little.

Then his body froze.

Because in his field of vision, the petite figure was gradually approaching with unhurried steps.
