Chapter 14: The thrill of the dumpling shop
Qin Si thought about Xiao Hei, what kind of existence is Xiao Hei? eating ordinary food instead of cat food, being able to command a group of cats, and understanding human language is like ...... It will be like a magical spell.
Wang Ji'an's madness, is it related to the group of cats, or is it related to the "ghosts" in Xiyuan Park?
At the end of work, the temporary head of the department came over and announced two things: first, tomorrow's Mid-Autumn Festival will be a day off, and second, after the holiday, there will be a new department manager to come to take office, I hope everyone is prepared.
After the person in charge left, the colleagues in the department exploded instantly, excited for tomorrow's holiday, and worried about the new leader.
Qin Sisi didn't care very much, her main thoughts fell on the date of August 15. Xiao Hei said a few days ago that he would tell her the secret about it on the night of August 15, and Qin Sisi realized that this secret must be very unbelievable, although he was a little uneasy, but he was also full of expectations.
After returning home from work, Qin Sisi tried to ask Xiao Hei about Wang Ji'an's madness, but unfortunately Xiao Hei still ignored it with squinting his eyes and a sleepy face. Qin Sisi had no choice but to give up.
At night, Qin Sisi had a sweet dream and slept until the third pole of the sun. After waking up, Qin Sisi stretched lazily, even she felt strange, her sleep situation has not been very good, since Xiao Hei came, she seems to be sleeping more and more soundly.
When she walked to the dining table, Qin Sisi was pleasantly surprised to find that the long-awaited white paper finally had handwriting appearing, she grabbed it, only to see that it was written: Prepare white candles and lighters.
Qin Sisi's heartbeat was a little faster, and she was about to start preparing, she was getting closer and closer to Xiao Hei's secret.
Qin Sisi couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xiao Hei, who was still sleeping soundly on the bed, his soft and small body curled up in a ball, motionless, and he didn't know when he got up to leave these words.
Qin Sisi looked at Xiao Hei, who looked like a fluffy black ball, couldn't help but hook his lips slightly, and muttered in a low voice: "What a little lazy cat." After saying that, he walked into the bathroom, washed up briefly and began to prepare breakfast.
After she turned around, Xiao Hei suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Qin Sisi's weak back, her purple eyes were full of inexplicable emotions.
After breakfast, Qin Sisi put Xiao Hei in his backpack and went out with him to buy the two things written on the paper.
This day is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, the streets are bustling, the supermarket is full of lights, the atmosphere of the festival is very strong, but unfortunately Qin Sisi has no time to take care of it.
When she was depressed, Xiao Hei said that these two things looked ordinary, and it was really not easy to buy. Lighters are okay, white candles are too hard to find, after all, few people will use them now, not to mention that there are very few power outages, even if there is a power outage, mobile phones, flashlights, charging lamps and other things can be used for temporary lighting.
Qin Sisi walked a long way, and finally bought a white candle in a small store in an urban village, and just in case, she simply bought ten candles at once. For a long time, she had been proud of her wise decision.
At noon, Qin Sisi was walking on the street carrying the things he had bought, and his stomach suddenly made a "gurgling" protest sound.
Qin Sisi stopped a little embarrassed, just thinking about shopping, forgetting the time, the meal arrived, but it would take nearly an hour to get home.
Qin Sisi rubbed his stomach, and finally decided to eat lunch outside and then go back, looking along the row of colorful shop signs along the street, and finally, Qin Sisi took Xiao Hei into a dumpling restaurant and asked for a dumpling.
I have the impression that I haven't eaten dumplings for a long time. I remember that when my mother was still there, every time I went home to go home, my mother would get up early and start chopping the meat filling, the "bell bell" sound of the blade hitting the board echoed rhythmically in the room, marinated the minced meat filling with soy sauce and pepper water for two hours, cut the green onion and ginger into minced pieces and sprinkled it into the meat filling, and then add an appropriate amount of salt, fragrant bean paste, pepper, thirteen spices and other seasonings, and finally put in the chopped vegetables and stir evenly.
The vegetables are sometimes fennel, sometimes cabbage, sometimes long beans, each with its own flavor.
When Qin Sisi arrived home, the white, tender and smooth dumplings were about to come out of the pot. Served in a white porcelain plate, like a delicate little ingot, take a bite, full of fragrance, long aftertaste.
"Here come the dumplings!" a female voice interrupted Qin Sisi's thoughts.
Qin Sisi raised her head, the proprietress who was about thirty years old was wearing a white shirt with a small blue flower on a white background and a white apron, and put a plate of steaming dumplings in front of Qin Sisi with a smile on her face, and said enthusiastically: "Girl, eat slowly, be careful of scalding." ”
The fragrance came to his nose, and Qin Sisi smiled at the proprietress and nodded: "Thank you." ”
The proprietress walked away with a smile, Qin Sisi turned around and was about to open the back to let Xiao Hei out, who knew when she turned her head, she didn't know when Xiao Hei had already come out by herself, sitting on the chair next to her, her purple eyes were staring at the boss lady who had just left.
Qin Sisi raised his hand and shook it in front of it, and said, "Hey, what are you looking at?"
As soon as the words fell, I saw Xiao Hei blink suddenly, and a faint purple light shot out. Qin Sisi was stunned for a moment, and in the next second, a huge "clang" sound suddenly pierced the eardrum.
Qin Sisi turned his head in a panic, but saw the proprietress leaning on a table, one hand tightly grasping the edge of the table, one hand covering her chest and gasping for breath, her face was as pale as paper, the enthusiastic smile just now had dissipated, and only fear and panic remained.
The main culprit for all this is the fast-turning ceiling fan on the ceiling, and now it is September, the weather is getting cooler, and the air conditioning is no longer in use, but in many small restaurants, electric fans are still used to drive away the last trace of heat.
It seems that the rotating ceiling fan suddenly fell from the ceiling and almost hit the proprietress .
Customers gathered around and talked about it, some saying that the proprietress was so lucky that she almost had a ceiling fan on her head, and others questioning the safety of the dumpling restaurant.
At this moment, a tall, thin man with a dark complexion walked over quickly.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the proprietress said a few days ago to let me check the ceiling fan, I forgot, I'm really sorry for everyone, today's meal fee will be discounted for everyone......" The man said sorry words to comfort the customers in the store, and helped the proprietress into the inner room.
Qin Sisi looked back at Xiao Hei with some uneasiness, was it really an accident? At the moment before the accident, she did see a purple light shooting out of Xiao Hei's eyes. Could it be that Xiao Hei did it?
