Chapter 37: Dark Cuisine
"There's nothing to do, if I let you out, you'll get out." Ye Shaochen didn't give Ji Ning a chance to refuse, and pushed her outside as he spoke.
Ji Ning couldn't resist Ye Shaochen, so he had to go outside.
"Go and rest." Seeing that Ji Ning only walked to the kitchen door and didn't leave, Ye Shaochen spoke again. Pointing to the couch outside, "Go and sit there." ”
Ji Ning stood still: "I'll take it slowly, and I'll continue to cook for a while." "You can't let today's ingredients go to waste, can you? What's more, the dish is already in the pot, and it is already halfway done, so it doesn't take much effort to do it next.
Now Ye Shaochen in front of her was silent and didn't speak. Then he reached out, put his bony hand on the sleeve, and skillfully loosened the button on the cuff. Then, little by little, he rolled up his sleeves in front of his elbows before he stopped.
Then he walked into the kitchen without looking back, seemingly skillful, but in fact he turned on the fire just as clumsily, stir-fried the vegetables in the pot, and put them in the pot when they were cooked.
He had just opened the lid on the potatoes in the casserole, and continued to boil slowly over low heat. The grunting body continued to come from the kitchen, and the white water vapor was filling the kitchen, setting off the atmosphere very warmly.
In the end, there was still a dish that he didn't get, Ye Shaochen frowned, turned around and looked at Ji Ning steadily. Ji Ning didn't know why, and looked at Ye Shaochen blankly, thinking that he had seen something amazing.
Just as she was about to ask Ye Shaochen what was wrong, Ye Shaochen spoke before her. In that serious tone, he asked a ridiculous question: "This dish ...... How to do it? "He looked embarrassed.
"Poof......" Ji Ning couldn't hold back, holding her stomach and laughing: "I thought you were so good, but it turned out that you still can't cook, hahaha." She laughed so hard that tears were coming out.
Just now seeing Ye Shaochen's sworn appearance, and laughing at her for making dark dishes, Ji Ning thought that Ye Shaochen had always hidden his skills of cooking. Originally, he was looking forward to it, but he didn't even know how to fry the vegetables.
Ye Shaochen had a dark face, and his expression was very unnatural: "Could it be that you?" He asked Ji Ning rhetorically.
As soon as this question came out, the smile on Ji Ning's face stopped, coughed dryly, and said weakly: "I won't either." ”
The two looked at each other, and finally couldn't help but laugh. Lawyer Ji, who is a well-known strong woman in the lawyer industry, and President Ye, who is high-ranking in the legal industry, can't even fry green vegetables, if this is spread and everyone knows, they will definitely laugh off their big teeth.
Fortunately, it is his own family, and his reputation has been preserved.
After laughing, the two stared at the green vegetables in a daze, and searched for tutorials on the Internet for a while, but because this is too basic, there is no one on the Internet at all. Ji Ning summed it up: "It's better to ...... Let's boil it in water. ”
Ye Shaochen touched his chin and pondered for a while before nodding solemnly: "Well......"
A dinner was made in a hurry, and seeing that the dish was not very good, Ji Ning hesitated for a moment and gave a piece of potato to Ye Shaochen.
"I followed the online tutorial, it should be fine, you can try it." She looked at Ye Shaochen sincerely, only she knew in her heart that she was using Ye Shaochen as a guinea pig.
If it doesn't taste good, you can only order takeout.
Ye Shaochen paused, picked up the chopsticks in Ji Ning's earnest gaze, and hesitantly picked up the potatoes. Put it to your mouth and take a small bite and savor it.
The most nervous is Ji Ning: "How is it?" Tastes okay, right? Are potatoes cooked? She remembered that the potatoes had been boiled for more than half an hour, and they should not be unripe.
is worthy of being a rich child, with an innate aristocratic atmosphere, even eating such a small piece of potato, he elegantly thinks of a royal gentleman. After eating the potatoes, Ye Shaochen slowly wiped his mouth: "It's okay, it tastes good." ”
This is already the highest evaluation of her, Ji Ning's eyes widened in disbelief: "Really? She asked, reaching for the potatoes as well. Based on her trust in Ye Shaochen, she bit her mouth wide without any hesitation.
As a result, when her taste buds touched the potato, the hairs on her whole body stood up.
"Phew! So salty! Ji Ning spit out the potatoes in her mouth, and her brows were about to wrinkle into the word "Sichuan". couldn't help but accuse Ye Shaochen: "You still say it's so salty?" Are your taste buds malfunctioning? ”
She hurriedly ran to fetch boiled water to drink, and drank two glasses before diluting the taste in her mouth. Holding the cup and panting, it was not easy to recover, and he glared at Ye Shaochen angrily.
didn't know that Ye Shaochen was smiling at the corner of his mouth at the moment, admiring Ji Ning's embarrassment at the moment. That mood is happier than eating delicious food.
"If you don't say that, how can you eat?" He can't enjoy such a salty thing by himself. Let Ji Ning know that even if she makes something according to the tutorial, it may not be delicious.
Ji Ning was half angry and half dead: "You are so good!" "I blamed myself for being deceived by Ye Shaochen's dog-like posture, and thought he was serious, but he was lying.
Later, what he said, punctuation could not be believed.
After drinking another glass of water, Ji Ning returned to the table, and Ye Shaochen found out in his conscience and personally served Ji Ning soup. Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with the soup, and the taste is quite delicious.
After drinking the soup, the two stared at the other two dishes on the table, and no one dared to eat first, for fear of stepping on thunder.
"Why don't you try boiled greens?" Ji Ning asked Ye Shaochen tentatively, Ye Shaochen leaned lazily on the back of the chair and handed Ji Ning one: "Do you think I'm a fool?" The look of the eyes, the attitude is very resolute, he will not be a guinea pig again.
was so deadlocked, and finally Ji Ning closed his eyes, looked heroic and righteous, and picked up the boiled vegetables. Put it in your mouth, close your eyes, and swallow the dish with a gulp.
Ye Shaochen looked at Ji Ning complicatedly: "You...... You okay? "Why did he think that this meal was like a war?
Ji Ning breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the boiled vegetables in surprise: "This tastes pretty good!" "It's safest to boil it in water, and she only puts a little salt, which is just right.
Ye Shaochen was suspicious and refused to move his chopsticks. Ji Ning said: "Eat quickly, not everyone is so good at deceiving people like you." She glared at Ye Shaochen angrily.
She also wanted to deceive Ye Shaochen, but unfortunately the conditions did not allow it.
Seeing that Ye Shaochen refused to eat, Ji Ning didn't urge him, and hurried to eat by himself. Seeing that Ji Ning ate so deliciously, Ye Shaochen finally couldn't help it, and followed suit, Ji Ning really didn't lie to him.
After eating the green vegetables, Ye Shaochen was like a fascination, and put the potatoes and pork ribs into the bowl, Ji Ning was dumbfounded, and hurriedly stopped Ye Shaochen: "Don't eat this, if you don't eat enough, I'll give you some takeout." ”
Saying that, Ji Ning went to grab Ye Shaochen's chopsticks, but Ye Shaochen dodged her hand. Every time he ate a small bite of potatoes, he ate a large mouthful of rice, and he didn't frown, and he ate more than half of it alone.
"You...... Are you hungry? Ji Ning looked at Ye Shaochen worriedly.
She knew that eating something too salty was not good for her health, and she was afraid that Ye Shaochen would not understand this.
While speaking, Ye Shaochen had already finished eating. He put down his chopsticks: "I think this potato is not bad, it would be too wasteful not to eat it." His expression was indifferent, as if I was deliberately comforting Ji Ning.
Ji Ning was stunned for a moment, as if he had said that potatoes were good from the beginning, and he had never disliked anything. There was a hint of emotion in her flickering eyes, she lowered her eyes and whispered, "Next time, next time I will definitely cook a passing dish for you to eat." ”
Her tone was full of determination, not like a joke. Ye Shaochen drank another bowl of soup: "I hope so." "I hope that I can have such treatment every day after work in the future. But he didn't say this sentence, not wanting to put too much pressure on Ji Ning.
After eating that night, Ji Ning returned to the room early, studied the recipes for the night in front of the desk, and decided to continue cooking the same dish tomorrow night.
……
Because she slept too late last night, the dark circles under her eyes were particularly heavy the next day, and Ji Ning didn't get up the next morning for a morning run.
Ye Shaochen was waiting for her downstairs, seeing her wearing sunglasses downstairs, and didn't dare to look directly at him, Ye Shaochen smiled in his mouth, and he didn't tease her for the first time.
It seems that since last night, the relationship between the two has changed a lot, and the atmosphere when they get along is also a lot better. At least now we don't tease each other as soon as we meet, and we don't always leave each other speechless.
The two went to the company together.
But after the company, Ye Shaochen went to a morning meeting, and Ji Ning returned to her office and continued to deal with the case in her hands. I found myself on my desk with a cup of coffee. There was also a sticky note pressed under the coffee, which read, "Discipline Master, thank you for your hard work." Although work is important, it is also necessary to pay attention to the body. ”
On the back of the sticky note is the signature of the KG collective members. Except, of course, Lin Ruan. It seems that Ye Shaochen told these people about the matter, and these people felt that they should take some action, but they were afraid that their behavior would be too high-profile and make Ji Ning feel uncomfortable, so they chose to buy coffee.
People have a heart, Ji Ning naturally will not refuse, find the captain of kg in the company's internal address book, and send him an email: "Thank you for your coffee, it suits my taste, I hope we can work together next time." ”
kg people were simply flattered, and they carefully worded before they dared to reply to Ji Ning's email. This ordinary cup of coffee became the key to their reconciliation.
After the morning meeting, all the employees of the company entered the working state. There was seriousness in the sky above the office, and all the sounds that could be heard were keyboard tapping, and the others didn't even dare to whisper.
But this state lasted not long before it was broken, Ji Ning was looking at the case file, and suddenly heard a noisy sound outside. It lasted for a while, and the little girl from the president's office hurriedly opened the door and came in, without even knocking on the door.
With embarrassment and caution on her face, she said to Ji Ning: "Lawyer Ji, someone is looking for you outside." ”
