Chapter 17: Trying the guinea pigs
Shen family.
Murong An came over again early in the morning, and this time, he was happier than ever.
Because today, Brother Shen invited him over for breakfast.
What a gift! It's even more strange than the red rain from the sky!
In the past few days, he accompanied Brother Shen to practice calligraphy, learn from each other, answer any questions he raised, and work hard.
But even so, Brother Shen never kept him to eat.
More often than not, he stays because the meal arrives and he happens to be there.
He is like an idler who came to Shen's house to eat.
Murong An's heart is bitter......
"The third young master is here."
Chao Ge was arranging breakfast, and Murong An looked overjoyed, and came in happily.
"Chaoge, morning!"
Murong An took two or three steps closer to the dining table, looking at the exquisite breakfast on the plate, his eyes lit up.
"It looks good, it must taste good!"
He glanced at Chao Ge and gave his opinion affirmatively.
"Where's Brother Shen?"
Chao Ge looked at the third young master and almost wrote on his forehead, "Brother Shen, please eat today, I am very happy", quietly glanced at the breakfast on the table, and silently recited "Amitabha Buddha" for him in his heart.
"Young Master...... I'm busy, I'll come later. ”
Looking at the breakfast on the table again, he said, "Third Young Master, please take a seat." ”
"Hmm."
After Murong An sat down, a pair of eyes stared directly at the dishes on the table, and his eager appearance made Chao Ge unable to bear to look directly, so he could only silently turn his face away.
But after a while, Shen Lingxi appeared, still holding a tray in his hand.
"Brother Shen!"
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Murong An finally looked away and looked at Shen Lingxi, and when he saw the tray in his hand, his eyes lit up.
On top of that, there is another dish, steamed carp.
Murong An hurriedly took it: "Brother Shen, how can you let you do this kind of thing yourself?" Just let someone do it! ”
He glanced at Chao Ge on the side, his eyes were cold: "Chao Ge, can't you see your young master?" ”
Chao Ge wanted to cry without tears, so he could only bow his head and be silent.
Shen Lingxi sat down indifferently, moved the steamed fish to Murong An, and looked at him: "Try it." ”
Murong An immediately smiled: "Steamed fish!" I like to eat fish the most, Brother Shen, how do you know! ”
Seeing him pick up the chopsticks and pick up a piece of fish, Shen Lingxi's expression remained unchanged: "If you like it, it's made for you." ”
With a faint word, Murong An was flattered.
He couldn't wait to put the fish in his mouth, his mouth moved, but the words of praise he had prepared suddenly got stuck in his throat, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Two pairs of eyes looked at him tightly, and their gaze enveloped him tightly.
Shen Lingxi's eyes were a little expectant: "How does it taste?" ”
Murong An's eyes moved, and he was stunned when he caught a glimpse of Chao Ge blinking at him.
Glancing at the breakfast on the table, his heart moved, and he quickly swallowed the food in his mouth.
"It tastes pretty good."
The original sentence "This fish doesn't seem to have salt" was swallowed by him along with the food.
"That's good."
Without waiting for Murong An to make other moves, Shen Lingxi had already quickly sandwiched all the food on the table and put it in his bowl.
"Try these too."
Looking at the mountains of dishes, the corners of Murong An's eyes twitched, but in Shen Lingxi's expectant eyes, he still picked up the chopsticks.
As soon as he picked up a piece of pickled cucumber, the sour smell that seemed to have knocked over the vinegar jar suddenly made Murong An's nose sour, and he almost ran down his nose.
He leaned back slightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Chao Ge's unbearable appearance, and he had an idea in his heart.
"I can't finish eating so much, it's a waste, why don't you let Chaoge eat together?"
Chao Ge on the side suddenly didn't dare to come out.
"He's eaten." Shen Lingxi shook his head, "He said that you have eaten the food of many places, and your sense of taste is sensitive, so it is easier to distinguish between good and bad tastes." ”
"Brush" twice, Murong An's eye knife immediately slashed towards Chaoge, but when he turned around and saw Shen Lingxi, he could only laugh dryly.
"Hehe, Chaoge understands me."
Chao Ge couldn't help but smack his lips.
He not only understands the third young master, he knows the young master even more, and he also understands himself.
Thinking of the dish he tried before the third young master came over, his mouth was bitter now, as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis.
But in front of the young master, he didn't dare to go out to rinse his mouth, or the little maid in the kitchen saw that his face was wrinkled like a sun-dried orange peel, and secretly stuffed him with two pieces of plum to get better.
Because of this, he knew that he couldn't stand such a taste, so the glorious task of tasting dishes would fall to the third young master.
Under Shen Lingxi's gaze, Murong An had to eat a bowl full of dishes.
Although the taste in his mouth is complex beyond words, he still pretends to be delicious.
After all, this is the first time that Brother Shen has invited him to dinner, and looking at Chaoge's expression, this meal may not be simple.
"Have you eaten enough?"
As soon as Shen Lingxi's words came out, Murong An was startled, and quickly nodded: "I'm full, Brother Shen, I'm already full." ”
Looking at the remaining dishes on the table, Murong An's doubts deepened.
These dishes obviously look good, how do they taste...... Is it so unsatisfactory?
With such a taste, he really didn't want to eat it a second time. He was afraid that his taste buds would be eaten.
Picking up the teacup beside him, he quietly took a big sip, and then spoke nonchalantly.
"Brother Shen, which chef in the house made this, so ...... Particularly? ”
Shen Lingxi looked at him: "I did it." ”
Murong An was immediately choked on the tea and coughed repeatedly.
Shen Lingxi looked at him and frowned slightly: "Isn't it delicious?" ”
"No, no, no!" Murong An put down the teacup and looked sincere, "It's delicious, it's just that I'm so surprised, it turns out that Brother Shen can also cook." ”
"Well, I just learned it."
Shen Lingxi stood up calmly, not happy because he said it was delicious, "Since you said it was delicious, then stay at home to eat in the future." ”
said yes, turned around and left, leaving Murong An, who wanted to cry without tears.
He really just said it casually, he didn't want Brother Shen to be unhappy, he didn't expect Brother Shen to be so enthusiastic now.
Still ......
How long will it take?
"Poof!"
A chuckle came, and as soon as Murong An's eyes moved, he saw Chao Ge, who was laughing, and even his shoulders were shaking.
"Chaoge!"
Murong An gritted his teeth, and when Chao Ge saw that the situation was not good, he ran away, but he grabbed him.
"Okay, you!"
Murong An grabbed the clothes on his chest and said viciously: "Do you know that your young master's cooking is unpalatable, so he deliberately pushed this errand to me, ah?" ”
"The third young master is angry, the third young master is angry!" Chao Ge leaned back again and again, avoiding Murong An's questioning.
"The little one is a rough man, I really can't taste whether the dishes made by the young master are good or bad, the third young master is different, didn't the third young master say that it was delicious?"
Speaking of this, Chao Ge's face was distorted, and he couldn't hold back his smile.
"Maybe the young master has a talent for cooking, so the third young master, you will finish this meal without changing your face, Chao Ge admires the third young master very much!"
"You ......"
"Third young master, don't worry, the little one won't rob you, the little one is very concerned about cooking, the third young master, you will have delicious food recently, the little one will help first!"
After speaking, he broke free of Murong An's hand and ran away with a smoke.
Murong An: "............"
