"I've seen Childe."

"Well, get up. I heard that your ancestor was the imperial chef, and tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner will be hosted by you, and the ingredients and manpower will be sent by you, is there a problem? Xu Qingchen knew that the east was a northerner, so he made a special trip to call the cook in the house to give him a careful instruction.

The cook understands that this is a pie-in-the-sky errand, as long as it is done in line with the master's mind, there will be unexpected gains, and he immediately promised, "Hui Gongzi, the slave will do his best and will not let you down." ”

"Okay, the hour is almost up, you can go home early to rest and spend Chinese New Year's Eve with your family."

"Yes, the minions are retired."

The person retreated, Xu Qingchen glanced at the sky outside, and ordered the guards waiting next to him, "You can go down too, you don't have to guard." ”

"Yes."

After sending everyone away, he turned and went back to his bedroom, took out an object wrapped in a silk handkerchief from under his pillow, looked at it carefully, and put it in his sleeve. Before Dongfang came back, he wanted to make him some desserts, and he remembered that Dongfang liked that very much when he was in Suzhou before.

Say it, do it.

Xu Qingchen walked out of the bedroom, and in the courtyard where he was the only one left, he took off his robe and put it on the clothesline under the eaves. He carried a bucket of water by the well and brought it into the small kitchen equipped with his yard, he was busy with official business before, and he had not entered here, but now it seems that the small kitchen is not as good as the big kitchen in his hometown in Suzhou, but it is also available.

Xu Qingchen rolled up his sleeves, beat the eggs, sprinkled a small amount of honey and milk, poured water and noodles, and cut the purple potatoes and fruits. Then I went to boil the water, put the decorated desserts in the steamer one by one, covered the pot, and waited for the temperature to rise slowly, and when the fragrance wafted out, it was almost over.

I don't know if Dongfang has come back, Xu Qingchen cleaned his hands, and when he was about to go out to have a look, he turned around and saw a touch of red leaning against the door.

Unconsciously laughed, "Dongfang, when did you come back?" ”

Dongfang Undefeated still stood in place and didn't move, but he didn't lean against the door again, his eyes turned in the direction of the steamer, "After returning from Suzhou, I sent someone to the south to buy this dessert, but I didn't find it." Originally... Hehe. As he spoke, Dongfang smiled and turned his gaze back to Xu Qingchen's face.

Xu Qingchen slowly approached him, "Dongfang, you like to eat, I will often cook it for you in the future." ”

"Do you make your own dessert for every guest you host?" Dongfang Undefeated stared deeply at Xu Qingchen's eyes in front of him, like a stubborn child trying to find the answer from other people's eyes.

Xu Qingchen did not hesitate, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and his smile was warm, "I have only done it for you, and I will only do it for you." ”

Hearing this, Dongfang smiled, smiling like a spring flower, so bright and pure, as if it could melt the ice and snow outside. Seeing Xu Qingchen open his arms, he threw himself into this warm embrace that belonged to him without hesitation.

The two quietly hugged each other and whispered softly, "After staying outside for so long, is it cold?" ”

Dongfang buried his face on Xu Qingchen's shoulder, and rubbed it gently, "It's not cold, I have internal strength to protect my body." ”

"Although the internal force can protect the body, it will still be attacked by the cold, and you should pay more attention to it before your body cold disease is completely cured, do you know?"

"Uh-huh, got it."

Xu Qingchen knew that he promised well, how much this person didn't care about his body, and it could be seen from his body temperature far lower than that of ordinary people, "Have you been hungry after going out for so long?" ”

Dongfang pointed to the steamer, "Hungry, is that okay?" I want to eat that. ”

"Can you smell the pasta? When it has a fragrance, it is cooked. ”

Dongfang turned his head and sniffed lightly, looked up at Xu Qingchen, and asked with a sincere face, "What is the smell of the pastry?" ”

"Haha, Dongfang you... Come, I tell you. ”

Looking down at the person who was lying on him and didn't let go, Xu Qingchen smiled helplessly, carefully hugged the person, walked to the stove to uncover the steamer, took out the desserts one by one and put them on the plate, and then took a blow and fed it to the person in his arms, "Be careful of scalding." ”

"How's it going, do you smell it?"

"Uh-huh. Delicious. ”

Xu Qingchen looked at him happily and said, "This is the fragrance of pastry, do you know it now?" ”

"I see. You also eat, give. Dongfang didn't forget to feed Xu Qingchen a piece, "Hey, it's hot!" Xu Qingchen hurriedly took the dessert from his hand, "I'll take a look." The delicate fingers were really red, and he subconsciously took his fingertips into his mouth, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Dongfang's crimson face, Xu Qingchen hurriedly put his hand down, turned around and took a bowl of well water, and watered him to cool down.

"Is it better? Does it still hurt? ”

Shaking his head, "It's okay." ”

"Let's go, go back to the house, I'll put some medicine on you." Dongfang looked back at the delicious dessert on the stove, Xu Qingchen took a clean cloth towel and covered it, held the plate in one hand, and led Dongfang back to the house with the other.
