After a while, the housekeeper came back and said, "The eldest young master, the second young master can't come back for dinner today because of something, and he said that he will have the opportunity to taste the cooking skills of the eldest and young grandmother again another day." ”

"How I didn't know what he was busy with!" Shen Muzhi's voice was slightly deep.

"It doesn't matter, he and Miss Zhou don't come, and it's the same for us to eat by ourselves." Li Ning put on an apron and said indifferently.

Seeing that she was not unhappy because of this incident, Shen Muzhi didn't say anything more.

"By the way, what's going on with Jin Heng and Li Ran, is there any news?" Li Ning suddenly asked with some curiosity.

"Why did you suddenly ask about them?"

"I happened to meet Li Ran and her mother in the supermarket just now, maybe they were in a good mood. However, Li Ran's cheeks were a little red and swollen, as if he had just been beaten, so he was a little curious about whether the matter had been done or not. Li Ning said bluntly.

Shen Muzhi looked at his watch, "An hour ago, Jin Heng had already boarded a plane to France, and it would take about a month to come back at the earliest. ”

"He ran away?" Li Ning was surprised.

"It's not a run. He went to France for an expedition, and it had been decided before, which was a coincidence. Shen Muzhi said very fairly.

Li Ning shook his head and sighed, "Li Ran probably doesn't know about this yet, otherwise how would he still be in the mood to go to the supermarket." ”

"You care about her."

"I can't talk about it, it's just that I can't understand what she thinks when I see her being played around like a fool by Shen Jinheng. There are so many men in the world, why do you have to hang yourself on a tree to be willing. ”

"When you say that, you kind of look like her sister." Shen Muzhi stood by the door and watched Li Ning busy with his work, and said idly.

"Oh, she and I can't be real sisters in my life, and even if she hires a murderer to kill me one day, I won't be surprised. What's more, Liang Lili, she..."

Li Ning paused, gritted his teeth but did not continue.

"What?" Shen Muzhi asked.

But Li Ning shook his head, "It's nothing. Then he went back to chopping vegetables, refusing to go on.

Shen Muzhi saw Li Ning's instantly cold eyes, and he could roughly guess that it was about Liang Lili and Li Ning's mother.

But since this kind of thing touches the deep pain in his heart, Li Ning is still reluctant to tell him at the moment, and Shen Muzhi will not continue to ask.

"Is there anything I can help with?" Shen Muzhi said suddenly.

In fact, he just said casually and wanted to change the subject. But I didn't think that Li Ning would take it seriously.

"Then you can help me scald the tomatoes." Li Ning said casually while cutting the dish.

"Grandma, let me come." The servant immediately answered.

"You help me shave the shrimp line and scald a tomato, it's hard to tire your eldest young master." Li Ning said and pointed to the tomato on the side.

Since Shen Muzhi was born, he has eaten a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas, but let him go to the kitchen or work as a helper in the kitchen, this kind of thing is the first time in so many years.

"It's this." Shen Muzhi picked out the one that he thought was most like a tomato from a pile of vegetables.

"yes." Li Ning didn't think much about it.

Shen Muzhi took the tomato in his hand and turned it around, and suddenly said seriously: "Tomatoes are the most nutritious to eat raw." ”

"It's one thing to be nutritious, it's another thing to be delicious. You can't eat all vegetables raw in order to be nutritious. ”

"I like to eat it raw."

"Then help me blanch three tomatoes first, and the rest will be eaten raw for you." Li Ning's hand did not stop, and he replied casually.

Shen Muzhi pressed the corners of his mouth, and looked at the maid who was picking the shrimp line with a fixed look, hoping to use the deterrent power of his eyes to force her to turn back immediately.

It's a pity that maybe Shen Muzhi's eyes are not intimidating enough, or the servant is engrossed in the shrimp line in his hand, and he doesn't look back at Shen Muzhi for a long time.

Shen Muzhi turned his eyes to look for the figure of the housekeeper, or anyone else.

But the steward did not know where he had gone, and the servants did as he commanded, and did not linger before his eyes without a summons, so that there was no one elsewhere at the moment.

"Why don't you get it yet, I'm waiting to get out of the pot." As soon as Li Ning turned around, he saw Shen Muzhi still holding a tomato and standing there motionless, frowning and asking.

Shen Muzhi put the tomato on the marble platform and said solemnly: "I suddenly remembered that there is a very important video conference. ”

"Then you go and get busy, and I'll call you for dinner later." Li Ning replied without thinking too much.

Shen Muzhi walked out of the kitchen with a silent chin on the surface.

And Li Ning quickly felt that Shen Muzhi was a little weird just now, and she suddenly raised her voice and asked, "Don't you know how to burn tomatoes, so you leave under the pretext?" ”

Shen Mu paused for a moment, frowned slightly, but continued to go upstairs and back to the study without answering.

Seeing this, Li Ning immediately knew this, she couldn't help but smile, and asked the maid beside her, "The eldest young master can't even blanch tomatoes?" ”

The maid also smiled and said, "The eldest young master is a person who is busy with big things, and these little things in the kitchen will not be reasonable." ”

"You're going to excuse him."

Li Ning said this, but when he remembered that when Shen Muzhi was facing the tomato, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Li Ning was quick with his hands and feet and with the help of a servant, he made a few dishes in about an hour.

Shen Muzhi came to the restaurant, saw a few dishes on the table that looked very appetizing, sat down and asked, "You made it?" ”

"Looks like you've been questioning my cooking, just try it." Li Ning sat opposite Shen Muzhi and said.

In Li Ning's expectant gaze, Shen Muzhi picked up the chopsticks and tasted them, "Well, that's good." ”

"Try this again." Li Ning eagerly recommended.

Then Shen Muzhi tasted everything, then looked at Li Ning and said solemnly: "Our family doesn't need to hire a chef in the future." ”

Li Ning sneered when he heard this, "You're so beautiful." Occasionally show your hands, and you want me to cook for you every day. ”

Shen Muzhi held the rice in one hand and the chopsticks in the other, ate two more bites and said, "If you are willing to cook every day, the salary is as you like." ”

"Okay, you can give one million a month?" Li Ning asked jokingly with raised eyebrows.

"The check book is in the first drawer on the right hand side of the study, and you can fill it out." Shen Muzhi nodded seriously and said seriously.

As a chef, the happiest thing is to see diners eat all the food they have made, and they will be full of praise.

"It's that delicious?" Li Ning asked with a smile.

"Well, it's delicious." Shen Muzhi did not hesitate to praise.

Li Ning smiled, "For your sake, I'll cook for you once a month in the future." ”

"Once a month?" Shen Muzhi frowned.
