NO.56 HOT POT
Jiang Yuxi's eyes were attracted by the various hot pot bases lined up on the shelves: "Have you ever made hot pot yourself?" ”
Gu Jingchen glanced at it: "No." ”
"Then shall we make our own hot pot this afternoon?"
As long as Jiang Yuxi proposed it, Gu Jingchen agreed to it all.
So the two bought a lot of various meats and vegetables to eat hot pot.
At half past five in the afternoon, Yu Yuan came with Zheng Yi, Yan Huan and Fang Jiu'er.
Yan Huan and Fang Jiu'er were both coming to Gu Jingchen's apartment for the first time, so they seemed a little restrained.
Gu Jingchen got up and went to the kitchen to make hot pot, Jiang Yuxi ran over, but was driven out by Gu Jingchen. Gu Jingchen was reluctant to let Jiang Yuxi be busy in the kitchen.
Seeing Jiang Yuxi return to the living room with an aggrieved face, Yu Yuan smiled at her: "Sister-in-law, was you clumsily driven back because Brother Chen disliked you?" ”
"He was reluctant to let me cook." Jiang Yuxi sat between Yan Huan and Fang Jiu'er, Zheng Yi sat next to Yan Huan, and Yu Yuan sat next to Fang Jiu'er.
"Yan Huan, how have you been with Zheng Yi recently?" Yan Huan didn't know that Zheng Yi had told Yu Yuan and Jiang Yuxi about the matter between them, and she said, "It's good." As he spoke, he took the initiative to take Zheng Yi's hand.
Zheng Yi was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he held Yan Huan's hand. This is Yan Huan's first initiative to him.
Then Zheng Yi and Yan Huan held hands, chatting with each other, Jiang Yuxi was not easy to interject, so he just waited for the two of them to fend for themselves.
But if Zheng Yi hadn't said anything about the matter between him and Yan Huan yesterday, Jiang Yuxi might not have seen any problems between them.
"You've been together for so long, didn't Gu always let you cook?" Fang Jiu'er asked her.
Jiang Yuxi blinked: "Yes, don't give me a chance to show my extraordinary cooking skills." ”
Yu Yuan seemed to want to blend in with their topic, and sat a little closer to them, and also got closer to Fang Jiu'er. Both of their arms were pressed together.
Fang Jiu'er's heart was excited, Yu Yuan obviously didn't take these things seriously, he just talked to Jiang Yuxi: "You can pull it down, you have extraordinary cooking skills, are you sure it's not some kind of dark cuisine?" ”
"Come on, you haven't eaten what I made, what's this called... Oh yes, can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour! ”
"I can calculate it with a finger, and I don't have to risk death to taste it."
Jiang Yuxi smiled evilly: "Then what do you calculate how you will be beaten by me later?" ”
Before Yu Yuan could answer, Jiang Yuxi got up and bypassed Fang Jiu'er and pressed Yu Yuan on the sofa and beat him, Yu Yuan was beaten while hiding. I don't know if Jiang Yuxi was intentional or unintentional, he actually pressed Yu Yuan on Fang Jiu'er's leg.
Yu Yuan single-mindedly played with Jiang Yuxi: "Sister-in-law, don't hit people in the face!" I'm a shy flower in the closed moon, sinking fish and geese, red lips and white teeth, a tall nose bridge, a knife-like chin, especially my hooking peach blossom eyes, I can't stand your beating like this! ”
Jiang Yuxi stopped tickling Yu Yuan, and said to Yu Yuan with a smile: "Why are you covering your face, you think I'm going to hit you in the face?" You have a face that is more beautiful than a woman, I can't bear to beat it. ”
Yu Yuan paused, believed Jiang Yuxi's nonsense, and took away the hands that had been covering his face. Jiang Yuxi was thunderous, her left and right hands were together, and she slapped Yu Yuan's left and right faces at once, making a crisp sound of "pop", this is not the end, she also kneaded Yu Yuan's white and tender face hard.
In response to her, Yu Yuan's wail.
Zheng Yi and Yan Huan watched the smile on the side, and although Fang Jiu'er was smiling, she was more distressed in her heart.
As soon as Jiang Yuxi stopped his hand, he jumped away and laughed wildly, "Sister-in-law, I won't take you to play like this." Yu Yuan rubbed his face as he said and got up, Fang Jiu'er asked him softly, "Does it hurt?" ”
"It doesn't hurt." Yu Yuan replied subconsciously.
Fang Jiu'er sank, Yu Yuan used to talk to her, and his tone was disgusted with her, but the sentence "it doesn't hurt" just now was gentle and gentle, without any prejudice against her.
Yu Yuan got up, Jiang Yuxi ran all over the living room when he saw this, Fang Jiu'er looked at Yu Yuan and Jiang Yuxi who were playing with a smile, and told them to be careful from time to time; Zheng Yi didn't know what to say in Yan Huan's ear, Yan Huan hooked his lips and listened with interest, bending his eyes and smiling from time to time.
Gu Jingchen, who was making hot pot for the first time, picked up the hot pot base and quickly browsed the instructions on it, and then put the base into the pot to fry, probably because he was too focused on making hot pot and forgot to turn on the range hood.
After a while, the choking smell of the hot pot base spread to the entire kitchen and living room, and everyone coughed and gathered around the kitchen to see what was going on.
"Ahem... Gu Jingchen, did you forget to turn on the range hood? Jiang Yuxi couldn't help coughing, Gu Jingchen realized it later, he reached out and pressed the switch of the range hood, and continued to devote himself to making hot pot.
"Let's help you." Before Gu Jingchen could answer, Yan Huan broke free from under Zheng Yi's arm, walked to Gu Jingchen's side and took a look, then picked up the lotus root on the cutting board and began to cut it into slices.
The remaining four people were stunned for a few seconds, and several of them knew that Yan Huan "once" liked Gu Jingchen, and now Jiang Yuxi, who is Gu Jingchen's wife, hadn't gone to help, so Yan Huan went... Isn't it embarrassing.
Jiang Yuxi actually minded a little, but in the end, she still chose to believe in Yan Huan's character and Gu Jingchen's sincerity to her. And Zheng Yi is different, Yan Huan's attitude towards him was very cold, so ... He's not envious, he's jealous.
Yu Yuan is a good person, seeing that the atmosphere was a little delicate, he hurriedly pushed his arm against Fang Jiu'er on the side, Fang Jiu'er looked up at him, he glanced at Fang Jiu'er, and Fang Jiu'er immediately understood.
"I'm here to help, too." So saying, she went over to wash the vegetables.
Yu Yuan patted Jiang Yuxi and Zheng Yi on the shoulder, and the three of them returned to the living room and discussed in a whisper.
"You two don't take it to heart, it's just to help cook a meal, and Fang Jiu'er is still there, they shouldn't be able to wipe any sparks." Yu Yuan is rarely serious.
"Who minds? Don't look at us with colored glasses, Zheng Yi and I are both very generous, okay!? Jiang Yuxi said stiffly.
"Come on, I just saw that both of you have stiff expressions." The two didn't speak, and Yu Yuan continued: "But if you care, you two can also go into the kitchen and guard under the pretext of helping." ”
"I didn't go, I didn't really want to help, if I went, I wouldn't trust them, one was my good friend, the other was Zheng Yi's brother, how embarrassing it would be for them to know that we didn't trust them."
Zheng Yi echoed: "I think the same as my sister-in-law. ”
Yu Yuan didn't say anything anymore, this was a clip of the gambling god playing mahjong in a movie playing on the TV screen, Jiang Yuxi sighed lightly: "I really want to play mahjong." ”
Yu Yuan looked at her with some surprise: "You can play mahjong!?" ”
Jiang Yuxi replied with pride: "What can't I do?" By the way, he also blew a calf: "I am known as the 'hemp god' by the folks." ”
"Okay, I'll have to talk to you after dinner." After Yu Yuan finished speaking, he picked up the mobile phone on the table and called someone to send mahjong over.
More than half an hour later, it was time to eat.
The dining table is retractable, and the rectangular dining table becomes round by simply opening the folded edges.
A few people served dishes, took dishes and chopsticks, poured drinks, and sat around the round table to eat the numb and spicy hot pot.
Jiang Yuxi and Yu Yuan, the two rivals, have become the laughing stock of several people, bickering while eating, fighting for the same piece of meat, saying humorous and humorous words, and the happy atmosphere warms the hearts of everyone present.
For a long time, they will miss this day together, because it is the happiest time when the three of them, three men, three women, and six people are together.
After eating the hot pot, Yan Huan and Fang Jiu'er competed to brush the dishes again, but Jiang Yuxi grabbed the two women very calmly: "Sit down, sit down, brush the dishes or something, let the three men do it!" ”
Gu Jingchen naturally has no different meaning, Yu Yuan wanted to be lazy, but he was "threatened by force" by Jiang Yuxi, although Zheng Yi had never washed the bowl, but seeing Yan Huan's expectant eyes, he volunteered.
Only Yu Yuan walked over to wash the dishes uninvited.
So, today's bowl brushing trio changed the lineup. Gu Jingchen washed the dishes, Yu Yuan went through them with clean water, and finally Zheng Yi wiped the bowls dry with a rag.
The three women sat on the couch, looking sideways into the kitchen. Jiang Yuxi didn't say anything, where did Yan Huan and Fang Jiu'er see the president of the Gu Group who was on the powerful side of City A and the two rich second generations with high status washing dishes in the kitchen.
This scene can be called spectacular.
Yu Yuan seemed to be disgusted with Zheng Yi's clumsiness and clumsiness that he couldn't even wipe a bowl, the disgusted expression was in place, Gu Jingchen tilted his head slightly and didn't know what to say to Yu Yuan, Yu Yuan pretended to be angry and looked at Gu Jingchen, Zheng Yi hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled.
Fang Jiu'er's gaze stayed on Yu Yuan, she couldn't take it off, she really didn't expect that Yu Yuan, who had always been unserious and very ruffian, would have such an unreal side as washing dishes in the kitchen.
She wanted to... The girl who marries Yu Yuan in the future will definitely be as happy as Jiang Yuxi.
Yan Huan first looked at Gu Jingchen, and then suddenly looked at Zheng Yi for some reason, and when she looked at Zheng Yi, she didn't have the same light in her eyes as when she looked at Gu Jingchen.
In fact, she didn't want to forget Gu Jingchen quickly, let go quickly, she even forced herself to like Zheng Yi. In this way, she doesn't have to worry about affecting her friendship with Jiang Yuxi, and she doesn't have to worry about living up to Zheng Yi's true feelings, if that's the case, then everyone will be happy.
But Gu Jingchen bewitched her mind like a demon, even if he didn't do anything.
In the presence of him, she will look in his direction uncontrollably; When staying with Zheng Yi, she would pretend to ask Zheng Yi about Gu Jingchen casually; In the middle of every sleepless night, she would always think of him, very much.
