Forsythia thought about it again and again, and finally decided to attend the opening ceremony of Simu.

In the afternoon, she dialed Zhou Shen's private number.

"Hey, Chef Zhou, are you busy?"

Zhou Shen was attending a media summit forum at the time, and suddenly received a call from Forsythia, and he didn't realize who she was for a while.

I thought it was a mistake, and was about to hang up the phone, when Forsythia spoke again: "I'm sorry, did I disturb your work?" ”

Zhou Shen coughed lightly, and his voice was a little cold: "I'm sorry, may I ask who are...?" ”

"I'm Yu Forsythia, you saved me in the back mountain of Zhou's house some time ago, and said that I would invite you to dinner when I was discharged from the hospital."

Only then did Zhou Shen recognize Forsythia's voice, and he actually smiled and asked, "You were discharged from the hospital?" ”

"Well, it's been a few days since I was discharged from the hospital, how's it going? When will you be able to get your meal ready? ”

"What?" Zhou Shen was inexplicably asked by this abrupt question.

"It's the Zhou family's dinner? Aren't you a cook, when will you finish cooking? I'll invite you to dinner in the evening, and I just happen to go to Huange Villa to pick up my car, and I'll pick you up and come to the city when the time comes. ”

Forsythia thought about it well, first get the chef of the Zhou family, and let the chef bring her design manuscript to Zhou Shen for seeing.

In this way, on the day of the opening of Simu's flagship store, if she is lucky enough to meet Zhou Shen, she can directly say the purpose and thoughts.

Zhou Shen held the mobile phone and listened carefully to Forsythia's arrangement, and the smile on his lips never disappeared.

Fang Qin, who was behind him, saw his strange expression and asked softly, "Mr. Zhou, is there something?" ”

Zhou Shen shook his head and continued to hold his phone, but took the notebook from Fang Qin's hand, glanced at the rest of his itinerary that day, and casually crossed out two lines with a pen.

"In the evening, these two activities will be pushed off for me, and I have another appointment."

"But..."Fang Qin was a little embarrassed: "The organizer of the event has already sent you an invitation last year, and besides, this event is very important. ”

"I know, but the people I want to see at night are more important than the event!"

Forsythia carefully printed out the manuscript that he was going to bring to Zhou Shen to see, bound it into a document bag, got off work on time at five o'clock, and took a taxi to Huange Villa first.

Zhou Shen came out of the villa, walked, wore a very easy-going khaki sweater, the coat hung on his arm, greeted Forsythia with a smile, and behind him was like a green mountain, high sky and clouds.

Forsythia felt that she was really enough, and she was impressed by the temperament and appearance of a cook again and again.

"Get in the car, let's go, it's too late to get to the city from here." Forsythia urges.

Zhou Shen asked, "What to eat?" ”

"I'll do it, you decide." She doesn't pay attention to what she eats anyway, and she doesn't care if it's good or bad, but she secretly thinks that he is also the chef of the Zhou family, so she blindly wants to ask for his opinion.

Zhou Shen did have some research on eating, thought about it, took out his mobile phone and seemed to make an appointment call for a restaurant, and then opened the door of the main driver and sat in first.

Forsythia asked outside the car, "Hey, what are you doing?" ”

"Let's get in the car and take you to a nice place."

"But you're going to drive the car?"

"I'll drive, I'm really not used to having a woman be my driver." After saying that, he fastened his seat belt, and because his legs were long and tall, he adjusted the seat again.

is all in charge of him, and he doesn't shirk.

Forsythia was stunned outside the car for a moment.

Hey, a cook has such a big style, elegant and domineering, and even more sad that she is willing to obediently submit and sit in the co-pilot position.

The car drove for a long time on the road in the suburbs, and did not go to the city on the elevated highway, but drove more and more remotely.

Gradually, farmland appeared around, and the night fell completely, and there were no street lights on the road, except for the lights of the inky rolling hills and farmhouses not far away.

Forsythia is a little weak-hearted.

How can there be a restaurant in this place? Wouldn't this man have tricked her and then rape her and then kill her, or murder her for money?

"That..."

Forsythia stirred her fingers and turned her head to look at Zhou Shen.

Zhou Shen drove with his eyes straight forward, and his side face was serious but quiet.

"Huh? Something? ”

"It's fine, I just want to ask, how long will it be before we get to that restaurant?"

"There's about ten minutes left, and if you're bored, you can listen to music." Then I turned on the stereo, and the melodious piano music floated out.

Forsythia didn't want to say more, her eyes poked him deadly, and she bowed her head and said nothing.

However, Zhou Shen's time is quite accurate, and ten minutes is ten minutes.

The car was parked at a three-way intersection.

He got out of the car first, then went around to the co-pilot and opened the door for Forsythia.

"Arrived?"

"Not yet, but the car won't go, so we'll have to walk there."

Forsythia stood next to the car and looked at the surrounding environment, what the hell is this.

Farmland, villages, low walls... There is not even a street lamp, it is clearly a countryside and mountains, and there will be a restaurant in such a deserted place?

I didn't believe it when she was killed.

"That's... Are you sure you'll find something to eat here? ”

"Don't believe me?" Zhou Shen smiled, "Let's go, follow me, I won't sell you." ”

After saying that, he walked to the front first, and Forsythia could only follow.

First, after walking through a muddy ridge, a small bamboo forest appeared at the end of the field.

At that time, it was already autumn, the autumn bamboo leaves were dark green, people walked in it only to hear the rustling of bamboo leaves, the moonlight was covered, and it felt particularly eerie and terrifying.

Forsythia was a little afraid to go forward.

"How long will it take?"

"Come on, just walk through this bamboo forest." Zhou Shen stopped, walked back to Forsythia, and smiled, "Good things are worth our time and energy, let's go, I promise you won't regret it." ”

His tone is firm but reassuring.

Although the two are not familiar with each other, Forsythia feels that this man always has a temperament that makes people willing to surrender, which not only will not disgust you, but will make you feel very relieved.

Perhaps it is Zhou Shen's temperament that will be willing to stay by his side in the near future, when Forsythia is desperate and displaced.

After the bamboo forest passed, I finally saw a two-story wooden house, surrounded by stakes painted with blue paint on all sides.

At first glance, it's just a humble farm.

"It's here!"

"Arrived?"

Forsythia approached suspiciously, and looked in through the half-hidden door, and it was seen that there was a small courtyard inside, with a path lined up with stones in the middle of the courtyard, and an outdoor wooden staircase leading to the second floor.

In addition, a small wooden sign is hung from the door of the wooden house with a straw rope, and two words are written in white powder on the wooden sign.

- "Return to the Wild".

"Let's go inside, this is it." Zhou Shen took the lead in pushing the door, and with a "squeak", the breath covered by the door came to his nose.

Forsythia couldn't help but take a deep breath, and the air was instantly filled with a certain refreshing fragrance, with the sweetness of flowers, but not as sweet as flowers.

"It smells good? What does it taste like? ”

"Go in, go in and you'll know."

Zhou Shen took her directly from the open-air stairs to the second floor.

After entering, I realized that there was a hole inside, although the decoration was simple and simple, but everywhere revealed the owner's scheming, such as the high wooden table in the center, such as the pear blossom wood cabinet on the wall, and then the creaking solid wood floor at the feet.

"I can't see that you are quite emotional, and you can find such an interesting place." Forsythia pulled out a chair and sat down.

Zhou Shen smiled and accepted her praise quite calmly: "Try the dishes here in a while, you will find it more interesting." ”

"What about the menu? I'll take a look first! ”

"There's no menu here, it's just the bamboo forest outside and the mountains behind, and you may not know all the names of the dishes."

Such a dick?

Forsythia didn't believe it.

But when the proprietress brought the dishes to the table, Forsythia was indeed dumbfounded.

She thinks that she has eaten a lot of rare things since she was a child, but she really can't understand the small dishes in front of her.

"What are these?"

Zhou Shen smiled: "These should all belong to wild vegetables, the green dish in your hand is He Shou Wu, pick the young leaves and tender tips, pinch them into small pieces, and drizzle olive oil after water, which can be used as an appetizer." ”

Forsythia was surprised, she only thought that the shou wu was a traditional Chinese medicine, but she didn't expect that it could be eaten as a dish.

Take a bite, slightly sour, but refreshing and fresh.

"What about this?" She pointed to the bowl of sweet soup in front of her, held in a small glass bowl, with lemons and cherries floating on the surface, and some solid pudding-like solids sinking underneath, which were brightly colored and beautiful.

Zhou Shen glanced at it: "You will definitely like this thing." ”

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because it's a specialty dessert in the store, and I remember you have a sweet penchant."

Forsythia was surprised and somewhat moved, but he didn't expect that he remembered that he liked to eat sweets.

"And what the hell is in here?" Forsythia is very curious.

Zhou Shen looked at the proprietress next to him and explained with a smile: "This is a unique thing in Guizhou, the locals call it wild ice powder, which belongs to the green leaf tree, which grows in the Dalou Mountain area of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, but this bowl is made of wild ice powder, and after processing, the seeds become jelly, the texture is very soft, but elastic, and with the special honey made by the proprietress, peanut kernels, sesame seeds and black glutinous rice, the taste is even better." ”

Forsythia quickly tasted it, and it was sweet and elastic.

"How's it taste?"

"Yes, it's delicious."

Zhou Shen added with a smile: "However, its practical honey is not the best, because the honey is not sweet enough, and the texture is soft and thick, but it will lose the elasticity in the fruit, and the best choice should be to use rose sugar, which is refreshing but has the fragrance of flowers......

"Yes, yes, it does taste better with rose sugar, this is still suggested by Mr. Zhou, but unfortunately Mr. Zhou was a little late when he called me just now, and I didn't have time to make rose candy, so I can only use honey instead."

"Okay, next time, bring her again next time I have the chance." After Zhou Shen finished speaking, the proprietress had already seen that his attitude towards this girl was not ordinary.

"Okay, Mr. Zhou can come at any time, I welcome it." Then Zhiqu went downstairs, saying that there was still some dim sum steamed in the pot.

Upstairs, only Zhou Shen and Forsythia were left.

"Try it, see if it suits your taste, and there will be rice tofu and dead dolls that the proprietress is good at in a while."

"What is a silk doll?"

"Haha......" Zhou Shen clenched his fists to support his chin, and actually sold Guanzi, "I won't reveal it first, you'll know in a while." ”

As a result, at that meal, Forsythia was like a curious baby who had never seen the world, had never eaten anything, and had to ask everything.

The atmosphere at the banquet was very good.

Zhou Shen didn't eat much, hugged his hands and watched the forsythia gobble up, he just helped her deliver tissues at the right time on the other side.

The rustling sound of the bamboo forest not far away, and a few barking dogs came from the village.

Forsythia was full of wine and food, leaned back in a chair and smiled comfortably: "This place is so good, but it's too remote, how did you find out?" ”

"It's not a discovery, I didn't come to look for it on purpose, it's just fate, I ran into it by chance." After Zhou Shen finished speaking, he slowly made a cup of tea for Forsythia.

The tea was fragrant, and Forsythia suddenly felt that there was a sense of elegance between the eyebrows of the man in front of him.

But he's just a cook!

Forsythia immediately shook her head, denying her inner thoughts.

"You're a good cook, and you've studied what you eat."

"It's not a study, it's just a matter of liking, and I'll tell you a secret, in fact, my previous ambition was to be a chef, and I could study all kinds of cuisine according to my likes and interests."

Forsythia thought it was a novelty: "Aren't you a chef now?" Although it is only made for the Zhou family, it can also be researched and innovated. ”

After listening to this, Zhou Shen smiled but did not speak.

It may be that the things of "Returning to the Wild" are too delicious, or it may be that the communication with Zhou Shen is more pleasant, and Forsythia forgot her real purpose after a meal.

It wasn't until the car drove back to Huange Villa again that Forsythia took out the document bag containing the design draft from his bag before parting.

"Excuse me, can you help me show these things to Zhou Shen?"

Zhou Shen took it and asked, "What's in here?" ”

"I hope Mr. Zhou can take a look at my design manuscript."

"Manuscript?" Zhou Shen opened the document bag, took out the design inside and looked through a few pages, "I don't know much about these clothing design things." ”

"Of course you don't understand, but Mr. Zhou should understand, I just want to show him, because Mr. Zhou's "Modern" magazine organized a fashion ceremony is about to be held, and I want to be the invited brand designer of the ceremony."

"So you went to the back mountain of Huange Villa that day for this purpose?"

"Sort of." Forsythia sneered, "But maybe I was unlucky, I didn't see Mr. Zhou, and I fell and injured myself." ”

"You think you're out of luck?" Zhou Shen laughed, "You're lucky enough, that place is deserted, and few people usually go, and I happened to be there that day, otherwise who can save you?"

Thinking about it, Forsythia thanked him again.

Zhou Shen accepted it as a matter of course, and warned Forsythia when he left: "Don't do this kind of stupid thing in the future, you will naturally meet people who are destined, and this injury is only a lesson." ”

Zhou Shen took the forsythia manuscript and walked back to the villa.

That night, he called Su Hui.

Su Hui saw his number displayed on the screen of his mobile phone, and he was a little like a heartbeat in another world, and he was stunned for a few seconds before pressing the answer button, and put the phone to his ear like trembling fingers.

"Why, Mr. Su Shen, a busy man, actually took the initiative to call me?"

Su Shen seemed to be used to her yin and yang weird tone, and he was not annoyed, but said, "Will you be in the club tomorrow?" In the morning, I will ask Fang Qin to send you a design manuscript, you can take a look, okay? ”

"What doesn't work?"

"You can watch it tomorrow before you talk about it, and call me after you finish it." After finishing his business, he conveniently hung up the phone.

Su Huimu held the mobile phone and was stunned for a long time before sneering.
