Chapter 41: No Blame
Whether it's grocery shopping or cooking, Qi Xu found that there was nothing Shen Huan wasn't good at-
But he obviously looks like he doesn't eat the fireworks in the world, but he is unambiguous when he talks about the price with the vegetable seller aunt in the vegetable market, and he is even more experienced in picking up vegetables, at least in the opinion of Ji Xu, who has bought vegetables with Jian Ying a few times, the dishes picked by Shen Huan are fresher and fuller than those picked by the vegetable seller.
Although Shen Huan bought several large cabbages when she saw them fresh, she perfectly avoided celery and bitter gourd, which she didn't like to eat the most, and I don't know if it was a coincidence.
Like her, Qi Dai likes to eat sweet and sour things, so Shen Huan compared several restaurants to buy suitable tomatoes and bell peppers.
Now seeing Shen Huan cutting tomatoes smoothly and skillfully, Qi Xu even wonders if he has specialized in cooking!
But those bony joints, white and slender hands are not at all like those that have been honed in the kitchen for a long time, and the slightest roughness can't be seen, so it's a pity that such a beautiful hand is used to chop vegetables......
"Ahem!"
Jian Ying didn't know when she passed by the aisle, and just saw Qi Xu, who was washing vegetables, staring straight at Shen Huan's hand, and this cough caused Qi Xu to shiver coldly.
Realizing that she had just looked at Shen Huan's hand and was discovered by her mother, her ears were irrepressibly hot.
"Cough, I'll go pour some water, Xiao Dai is not hungry, you can get ...... slowly"
Jian Ying seemed to have deliberately coughed in order to prove that she had made a special trip to pour water, but the words behind her made her want to escape from the kitchen in an instant!
Originally, Shen Huan recommended himself as the chef, Jian Ying politely said that she wanted to help, Shen Huan replied "I'm sorry", and then Jian Ying unceremoniously pulled her over as a substitute, Shen Huan accepted it "without disgust", although it was not too tiring to get started, but by Jian Ying's "check", it made it seem as if she really had something to do with Shen Huan......
But fortunately, she was just looking at Shen Huan's hand, otherwise Jian Ying wouldn't know how to misunderstand.
And Shen Huan just smiled, and the movements in his hands did not pause at all.
Qi Xu pursed the corners of his mouth, and simply turned his back, out of sight!
Shen Huan not only cut vegetables quickly, but also stir-fried vegetables with high efficiency, and in just one hour, six dishes and one soup including sweet and sour short ribs and tomato beef tenderloin were done.
"Mr. Shen's cooking skills are really good, I smell the fragrance outside the gate!"
Jian Ying, who had just come back from picking up the courier, smiled from ear to ear.
"Aunt Jian, don't be polite, call me Shen Huan or Xiao Shen, taste the taste first and then ......"
Shen Huan was very skilled in helping Qi Xu set up the tableware, which made Qi Xu surprised.
Is this at her house or at his!
Hearing Jian Ying call him, the little gentleman Qi Dai also put down the book in his hand and went to wash his hands, in fact, he had already smelled the fragrance in the room, and the page in front of him was still spread out twenty minutes ago.
But Jian Ying personally told him to wait in the room for her to come back before coming out, although he was young, he knew that this was a "light bulb" for him not to be Brother Shen and his sister!
Originally, he still had a small complaint, but when he smelled the aroma of the food, he felt that maybe he could endure it for a while, and he would like to thank Brother Shen for his hard work in making this meal!
After everyone sat down at the table, Jian Ying suddenly got up and walked to the cabinet behind her, and took a small jar from it like a baby.
Period Xu suddenly embarrassed, "......"
"Today's dinner is really hard Xiao Shen, I can't drink serious wine, this is the plum wine brewed in my hometown, so I will use this to mobilize the atmosphere!"
It also stirs up the atmosphere......
Qi Xu couldn't complain, it was obvious that Jian Ying wanted to take this opportunity to get addicted to alcohol!
Jian Ying can't drink ordinary wine because of her physique, which is different from her incomparable drinking power, Jian Ying is "allergic" to wine, but it is different from ordinary people's alcohol allergies-
At that time, Qi Xu was still young, and Qi Yumo and Jian Ying took her to attend Jian Ying's former sister's wedding banquet, because the relationship was not bad, and they couldn't resist the bride's persuasion, so they swallowed a cup of liquor, and then soon after leaving the table, they suddenly gained "strange power", and became infinitely powerful, throwing Xiao Qi Xu, who was only more than four years old, like a ball......
She only had a vague impression of that experience, she couldn't remember exactly what it was, and she wasn't sensible at the time, and she thought it was very interesting, after all, as soon as she raised her hand, she could touch the family's birdcage on the windowsill on the second floor, and there was a parrot in it that could shout "Little Flying Man......
After that, Qi Yumo has always used Jian Ying as the reason that she is easy to "get crazy with alcohol" after drinking, and she has never let Jian Ying drink again, and this time Qi Xu was recovered, and she only saw Jian Ying "drink" plum wine a few times, probably because of the low alcohol content, but I didn't see Jian Ying "drunk crazy" again.
Without waiting for the deadline to stop it, Jian Ying's three wine cups were placed in place, and Shen Huan had no consciousness of being a guest at all, and even took the initiative to take over the small and exquisite wine jar and fill it for Jian Ying to be the first one!
Jian Ying looked relieved, seeing that Shen Huan was about to pour into the wine cup in front of Qi Xu, Qi Xu finally couldn't help but raise his hand to stop it.
"I won't drink it......"
"Eh, what can you do if you don't drink, you're not a child, this is not alcohol, drink a little, just accompany your mother and me!"
"But I ......"
Since she was refound, she has only drunk a glass of beer from the "casual meal" that graduated from college, although she is not drunk, but her not very sober mind still makes her realize that her alcohol consumption is not good, so she didn't drink again, but the reason why she resisted alcohol the most was the nausea in her chest after the party was over.
It's as if she's experienced it so many times......
"Just one cup," Jian Ying seemed to be extra insistent, and said to Shen Huan again, "Just pour her a little less, you can do whatever you want!" ”
Since Jian Ying has said so, even if she is unwilling, it is not good to refuse again, this is her own mother, she will never harm herself, she can see that Jian Ying is very satisfied with Shen Huan, the "blind date", besides, this table of dishes is all done by Shen Huan herself, she can't let Shen Huan hold the wine jar like this all the time......
"It's okay for me to drink with Aunt Jane......"
"How's that going to work!"
couldn't help but say, Jian Ying directly snatched the wine jar and gave it to the full date, and then asked Shen Huan to take the wine jar with some nostalgia.
When Shen Huan's wine cup was poured and a glass of milk was poured for Qi Dai, Jian Ying couldn't wait to pick up the wine cup.
"It's rare for so many people to eat together today, I'm really happy, thanks to Xiao Shen preparing such a big table of dishes, just looking at it makes me have a big appetite...... Of course, the happiest thing is that Lifelike finally brought a friend to the house! ”
Hearing Jian Ying's gushing, Qi Xu almost couldn't help but roll his eyes, this hasn't started drinking yet, it's high!
What finally brought friends to the house, didn't Tang Ruosheng often come to eat when she didn't go on location before, and even her little brother was brought by her from time to time.
Moreover, it wasn't her who brought it, it was obviously Jian Ying who invited people to do so!
Besides, when she was a teaching assistant in the past, Jian Ying also invited her students, that is, her colleagues, to come to her home for dinner, but she was not very popular with Qi Dai......
Speaking of popularity, today's Qi Dai children are exceptionally quiet, one obediently washes his hands, sits down obediently, and watches the three of them stalemate for a long time for a jar of plum wine, and looks at a few dishes on the table one by one as if they have nothing to do with themselves - it looks very delicious and smells very fragrant, but I don't know how it tastes, and it shouldn't be worse than a little crispy meat!
"Aunt Jian is polite, I have to thank Aunt Jian for giving me this opportunity to show my cooking skills, I am actually simple alone, and I will not cook specifically, wait to taste it or not, I have to ask Aunt Jian to be merciful!"
"That's not good, the food is so delicious, Auntie can't be merciful!"
This "mercy" is not the other "mercy", Shen Huan understood it for the first time, and clinked glasses with Jian Ying with a hearty smile......
Shen Huan's cooking was very delicious, and Qi Xu only drank a cup of plum wine, but after the whole meal, she was almost irritable.
Although Jian Ying only drank three cups of plum wine, she already regarded Shen Huan as a "future son-in-law", from the naughty mischievous when she was a child, she and Qi Yumo looked for her endlessly in those years, and later found her joy, almost treating Shen Huan as if she was a tree hole, if it weren't for Qi Xu's cough to interrupt, Jian Ying would even have to talk about the entanglement between her and Xiao Lincheng when she was in college.
Although she knew that Shen Huan had investigated in secret, she would inevitably know about the ridiculous things she had back then, but she still didn't want to hear those things come out of Jian Ying's mouth, even if Shen Huan really became her boyfriend, she didn't want to.
But fortunately, Qi Dai was soon full, and she also withdrew on the grounds of accompanying Qi Dai, and after she calmed down on the windowsill for a while, she came back and saw Shen Huan cleaning up the table alone, and Jian Ying was gone.
"I'll do it!"
You can't let someone cook and clean up the kitchen!
Shen Huan met her, handed her the rag, and picked up the broom sideways.
"Where's my mom?"
After sweeping around, she didn't see Jian Ying, so she had to give up to stop him from cleaning, as if she had unintentionally bypassed him.
"It's my bad that I didn't stop Aunt Jane, and the rest of the small half jar of wine ......"
"I don't blame you."
She knew that as long as she avoided her, Jian Ying would not be binding on plum wine at all!
In the past, Jian Ying received two jars of plum wine in three or five months, because she didn't drink it frequently, and she was supervising, she was just able to drink it until the next time she received the wine.
Don't blame Shen Huan, who is to blame!
"You can blame me."
Shen Huan seemed to be able to hear her heart, and responded to her very firmly.
She was already a little angry, and when she heard this, she suddenly felt a little blocked in her heart.
"It's not weird."
When he said it, he didn't care at all.
"And what are you going to blame me?"
Shen Huan's tone seemed to have some temper, which made her eyebrows jump fiercely.
When she reacted, Shen Huan had already put one hand on the table in front of her, making her subconsciously retreat in reverse, but her back suddenly hit a hard "wall" - that was Shen Huan's chest!
"You...... You're right, why should I blame you...... Blame you! ”
There is a block in front and a block in the back, her body is a little stiff, and with the wisps of wine penetrating into her nostrils with the breath behind her, she feels that her breathing is a little unnatural, and she stumbles involuntarily when she speaks, so she can only avoid sticking to the body behind her as much as possible.
"No, you're to blame!"
Shen Huan's voice was lazy and a little stubborn.
"You've drunk too much......"
Qi Xu sighed helplessly, forcing himself to relax his body, and also tried to make Shen Huan relax his vigilance.
"If I don't drink, will you blame me?"
"I ......"
"If you don't blame me, I won't let you go!"
Shen Huan's voice fell, and his body leaned forward suddenly.
He didn't check it for a while, he was tightly clinging to him, and his waist was instantly entangled by something......
