"It's five o'clock in the afternoon!"

I don't know which old man's machine on his body sent a time reminder, which instantly pulled Zhuo Jiu back to reality from his long memory.

"Star City ......" Zhuo Jiu couldn't help but groan secretly.

Although he has only been in this city for half a year, the feeling of this city is completely different from those he has passed by before.

- Even, sometimes even he himself is in a trance.

- It would be nice to be able to live here forever?

Zhuo Jiu quickly shook his head and forcibly dispelled this thought, which seemed a bit out of the ordinary to him.

It seemed to him that it was just a thought after all, but he needed a reason, a reason that would make him completely determined to stay here......

Maybe......

In his mind, the girl who wandered at the mouth of the alley, as pure as a gardenia, came to his mind.

"I just don't know, is there still a chance to meet her again?"

Zhuo Jiu lowered his head and sighed helplessly.

"Yo, little Zhuozi is here!"

A lazy voice came from nowhere, instantly interrupting Zhuo Jiu's musings.

"Aunt Landlord!"

Zhuo Jiu hurriedly raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see that in front of the window on the second floor of the small building, a delicate figure was shaking under the cover of the curtains.

The figure was obviously a little flustered, perhaps because he didn't expect Zhuo Jiu to appear so early, and disappeared from Zhuo Jiu's sight in an instant.

A short time later, the door opened with the sound of slippers tapping.

Zhuo Jiu also quickly woke up and dispelled those irrelevant thoughts in his mind...... Although he prides himself on being arrogant, it does not mean that he is like a brother, completely unsophisticated.

For a lady, he is still able to maintain the most basic respect.

At the very least, he wouldn't have another woman in his mind when he faced the landlady.

It's just that when Zhuo Jiu saw the delicate figure in front of him, the whole person's thinking instantly came to a standstill.

At this time, the landlady was wearing a well-fitting light blue cheongsam, standing in front of him. Originally, her figure was already extremely outstanding, but against the backdrop of the cheongsam, her figure advantage was magnified to the extreme.

I don't know if it's the afterglow of the sunset or the blessing of the light blue cheongsam, Zhuo Jiu only feels that the landlord and aunt at this time are so white that they shine......

Maybe she was very white, but Zhuo Jiu has been deliberately ignoring this, especially in such a scene, all the attention is on her, which magnifies this visual impact.

In stark contrast to those few traces of whiteness, there are two long black silk legs, full of endless temptation.

It stands to reason that the blue cheongsam with black will always give people a vulgar feeling. But when he arrived at the landlady, Zhuo Jiu only felt charm...... In particular, that kind of incongruous conflict exploded in front of his eyes in an instant, making his whole person lose his mind, his eyes were scattered, and he didn't know where his eyes should fall at all.

And that's not all.

Today's landlady did not tie her ponytail as before, and her fluffy and dense hair had obviously just been washed and dried, hanging straight behind her, which did not add any messy feeling to her, but had a gentle temperament, with her big watery eyes and a light smile on her face......

In addition to "enchanting all beings", Zhuo Jiu couldn't think of any words that could be used to describe the landlord and aunt at this time.

"So...... The Black Silk Party has won! Zhuo Jiu looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and muttered.

"What did you say?"

The landlady asked suspiciously, "What are you still doing, come in quickly!" ”

Looking at Zhuo Jiu, who was full of sluggishness, the smile on Ai Tianya's face couldn't help but be even greater...... Not only did her little caution work, but it seemed to be far better than she expected.

"Come in and close the door."

With that, like a victorious general, she twisted her willow-like waist and walked slowly into the room.

The air was still filled with the scent of a good-smelling shampoo, and even the cold wind of early spring seemed to have become gentler at this moment.

Also, Zhuo Jiu's heart.

This is also the first time that Zhuo Jiu has entered the landlord's aunt's house...... But that didn't stop him from being shocked by what he saw.

In his memory, the decoration of the room and all kinds of ancient ornaments, he has basically only seen it in TV dramas...... If you really want to find an intuitive and referenceable style, only Lu Zhenhua's mansion in the deep rain and rain can be compared.

For a moment, he had the illusion that he had returned to Shanghai in the thirties of the twentieth century......

Of course, there is no lack of modern elements in this house, at least the kitchen in front of him is enough to open Zhuo Jiu's eyes......

This kitchen occupies a large part of the space on the first floor, and according to a rough estimate, it may even be a lot larger than the room that Zhuo Jiu is renting now...... What's even more astonishing is the configuration inside, some of which are not, all of them are matched, which can be called inhumane!

Even, some of these equipment can only be seen in some five-star hotels, who would have thought that it would appear in the kitchen at home, which made Zhuo Jiu even more amazed.

"What? Are you satisfied? The landlord aunt appeared at the door of the kitchen, looked at Zhuo Jiu, whose eyes were glazed, and asked with a smile.

"Satisfied! Satisfied! Zhuo Jiu nodded hurriedly, "There are also seasonings, too!" I was worried that you wouldn't have any spices here, so I bought some of them. ”

Zhuo Jiu lifted one of the pockets and shook it to the landlady.

"But why doesn't it seem to have been used?" Looking at the bottles of brand-new seasonings in front of him, Zhuo Jiu's face was full of doubts.

The landlord's aunt blushed instantly, and said: "What's so strange about this, I don't cook at home, these are still the ones that the decoration company insisted on giving me when I was decorating the kitchen at that time!" ”

"It's also ......" Zhuo Jiu nodded, "If I am engaged in decoration, if I meet a big family like you, can I serve you well?" ”

His hand inadvertently swept across the countertop, and the cold texture made him feel as if he had instantly returned to that hot era.

"Just this range hood, it is estimated that it can't be ordered without tens of thousands, right?"

Looking at the range hood full of English letters in front of him, Zhuo Jiu couldn't help but be a little stunned.

According to his vision, just for the decoration of this kitchen, there is no small estimate of one million, which is only his conservative estimate.

"I don't understand this, anyway, I just told them at the time, try to get it better, anyway, I'm not bad for money!"

The landlord's aunt's face was full of understatement, and it seemed that for her, this was a common thing.

But Zhuo Jiu once again felt the difference between people, and he also experienced for the first time what it means to be inhumane.

The only thing he didn't understand was that since the requirements for kitchen decoration were so high, why did he just put it there as a decoration...... If it just can't be burned, then there seems to be no need for this kitchen to exist!

"Anyway, I'll leave it to you here, I just need to be in charge of eating!"

The landlord's aunt's face revealed a bit of coquettishness, which instantly made Zhuo Jiu feel that she was inexplicably a little cute at this time.

"Okay, okay, you just go outside and wait, just leave it to me here!"

There was a strange glint in his eyes.

No cook could resist the temptation of the full set of equipment in front of him, and even if he didn't necessarily need some of the equipment, he still wanted to try it...... Although, he doesn't think that using this set of kitchenware will improve the taste of the dishes much.

It's just that he can't help but start to miss ......

As everyone guessed, Zhuo Jiu's job is a chef, and he even has experience in a five-star hotel, and he is a serious chef, not just the so-called head chef of a small restaurant like Wan Hongzhuang.

At the peak, his subordinates also followed dozens of people, and they were considered to be well-known figures in the local catering industry.

And the novels he wrote, precisely because of part of his work experience, are particularly real and touching.

"And now ......"

Looking at everything in front of him, both familiar and unfamiliar, Zhuo Jiu couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

In a trance, he seemed to be back to the past...... Many things seem to have changed, but in fact they have long since changed beyond recognition.

How high-spirited he was at that time, and how decadent and dilapidated he is now.

Pouring out all the knots in his chest, Zhuo Jiu only felt that everything had become boring, including the joyful mood when he came, which had long since disappeared.

However, he could only barely lift his spirits at this time and began to process the ingredients.

After all, for him now, the most important thing is to be able to get the rent reduction promised by the landlady.

He was a little timid.

To be honest, even he can't remember how long it has been since he has been cooking.

When I go back to the rental house every night, I just have to deal with it.

It's just that the memory of cooking has long been deeply engraved in the bones, and the moment he turned on the faucet, he rushed to everything, and all came back!

Soon, a table of home-cooked food with all colors and aromas was neatly placed on the table.

The landlord's aunt's eyes flashed, she looked at the delicious food in front of her in a daze, and asked in surprise: "I only think you are bragging, I can't think of something really something?" ”

Zhuo Jiu smiled shyly, "What's there to brag about in this matter, yes, no, no!" ”

"Besides, if you knew early on that I could cook a good dish, you might not be able to reduce my rent, right?"

"Yo yo yo, remember it!"

The landlord looked at Zhuo Jiu with a smile, "I haven't tasted it yet, don't worry, if the taste is really good, I will naturally not forget what I said earlier." ”

"Okay!" Zhuo Jiu wiped his hands with his apron and said with a smile, "You can eat, I'll go to the kitchen first." ”

"What's the hurry, there will be a cleaning aunt who will come to clean it when the time comes!" The landlady squinted at Zhuo Jiu, "Sit down and have a meal with me!" ”

Zhuo Jiu's face was full of doubts, and he couldn't figure out what she meant.

"Sit down, are you afraid that I will eat you?"
