Chapter 125: Emergency Dinner
"For you to bully me, I can only punch and cloth! Still want to play? β
Moco came out from the side and shouted: "We are the ones who go out to enjoy the beautiful afternoon tea, you can only sweep and eat dust at home, meow haha!" β
"Afternoon tea?"
Lin Xiaolu glanced at it and said lukewarmly: "Anyway, Xia Liang is chatting happily with her classmates, are you next to you?" β
"And even if you don't guess boxing, don't you have to go out for a stroll every afternoon? Isn't going out with Xia Liang just a change of place? β
"How do you speak!"
Mo Ke suddenly blew his beard and glared: "How many times do you want to say it, I am the job of the sower!" β
"The job of the sower is to go to the welfare home and expose the black material of his companion to the little girl who knows nothing?"
Lin Xiaolu squinted her eyes: "It's really good, it's worthy of you, big liar." β
"What are you talking about the welfare house, I haven't been there for a long time now......"
Mo Ke subconsciously opened his mouth to refute, but suddenly realized what Lin Xiaolu meant by what he said, and after a pause, he looked at Bai Jingxuan on the side: "Xiaoxuan? β
All I got was Bai Jingxuan's somewhat embarrassed smile:
"I'm sorry, but is this something you can't say?"
When cleaning in the living room in the afternoon, she and Lin Xiaolu once talked about their past experiences, and at that time, she casually told Lin Xiaolu what happened when Mo Ke and herself first met. And Lin Xiaolu didn't have any obvious reaction during the listening process, so Bai Jingxuan didn't realize that what she said was about to sell Moke.
I can't just say it.
Mo Ke wanted to shout like this, but it was too late, so he could only look at Lin Xiaolu a little stiffly.
"What's wrong? Why are you so far away from me? β
Lin Xiaolu crossed her waist and stared at Moke: "I heard that you still want to play guessing boxing?" Come closer to me. β
Moco flapped his wings and took two steps back: "Meow haha, I don't want to play meow." β
"Don't want to play?"
With a sneer, Lin Xiaolu raised his fist: "That's not good, now I ask to continue to guess with you, I use my hands, you use your face." β
Mo Ke was full of excitement, and retreated again: "That's not a boxing game!" Meow! β
With that, it turned and flew between the stairs, fleeing towards the basement.
"Don't run! Hold it! Lin Xiaolu shouted and caught up with it and rushed downstairs with it.
Bai Jingxuan and Xia Liang, who stayed in the living room, just watched the two fight as soon as they met, and now they ran away without a trace, so they could only glance at each other helplessly.
"Leave those two naΓ―ve ghosts alone, let's pack up our purchases and put them in the fridge." Xia Liang said with a smile.
The two of them went back to the kitchen together and began to dispose of the large and small plastic bags that had accumulated in the kitchen.
Opening these plastic bags, Bai Jingxuan looked at the fresh vegetables packaged in them, she didn't think it was special at first, but after looking at it, she subconsciously exclaimed: "Sister Xia Liang, the quality of the dishes picked is very high!" β
Because the vegetables in the plastic bag are in very good condition, even the worst ones are at least good.
"I'm still a little confident in this."
Xia Liang said a little proudly: "After all, I have lived alone for a long time, and I am very proficient in the basic skills of life, such as buying vegetables and cooking." β
"That's amazing!" Bai Jingxuan praised seriously, "I also have to study hard." β
"It's a pity that I was asked to go grocery shopping near noon." Xia Liang quickly sorted out the refrigerator, "The ones with the best condition have been picked up in advance." β
- "But I don't remember that it took four or five hours to buy groceries. β
Lin Xiaolu's voice suddenly sounded above the heads of the two, and I saw that she was holding Moco in one hand and walking forward with her waist crossed in the other: "It's so bad that Bai Jingxuan and I can only eat takeout for lunch!" β
"Even if you really come back from grocery shopping as fast as possible, you won't have time to make lunch."
Xia Liang smiled a little helplessly: "And I have sent a message to tell you, and I won't be able to come back at noon." β
"You just want to eat takeout yourself!" Mo Ke, who was caught in her hand, shouted, "Heavy oil and heavy salt, sooner or later you will have acne!" β
"You don't have to worry about it!" Lin Xiaolu stretched out her hand and rubbed it vigorously on its head, and said angrily.
After venting her emotions, she threw Moco aside, squatted in front of the plastic bag on the ground, pulled the edge of the bag, checked the contents, and looked up:
"Speaking of which, the vegetables I bought were all fresh vegetables, and there were no pre-made dishes in them."
"You didn't say you wanted to buy pre-made dishes."
Stuffing the vegetables in his hand into the refrigerator, Xia Liang turned around and said: "And always eating industrial products is not good for health, it is safe to do it yourself." β
Lin Xiaolu didn't respond to her, but was still rummaging in the bag for something, and after a while, she threw the bag aside again, looked up and asked, "So, what about our dinner?" β
"Dinner?"
Xia Liang blinked his eyes twice, and didn't know how to reply for a while.
"Did you say that before you went? Ask you to come back with something you can eat straight out of the night. β
Lin Xiaolu clasped her hands in front of her chest: "Now, what about our dinner?" β
This passage finally reactivated Xia Liang's memory, and she also looked into the plastic bag, first stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but exclaim: "Ah, I forgot!" β
"You really forgot!"
Lin Xiaolu stretched out his hand and pointed at her: "I also said that I have nothing to do with my classmates, isn't this a big problem!" β
"Hmm...... There is no way to refute it. Xia Liang hung his head and said honestly.
"Now, tell me, Imperial Diet Shangshu!"
Lin Xiaolu stretched out his hand, knocked on the refrigerator door with a "bang", and pointed to Mo Ke, who had just been taught a lesson: "Where is my dinner?" Beware of killing your head! β
"Back to the emperor, Weichen deserves death."
Xia Liang smiled awkwardly, and arched his hand according to Lin Xiaolu's words: "Please also ask the emperor to give Weichen a chance to make up for his mistakes, and then do it." β
"That's good, I want to eat bird's nest chicken soup, braised pork tendon with sea cucumber, and braised bear's paw with fish tongue!"
Withdrawing his hand, Lin Xiaolulang announced the names of several dishes: "When I can't see these dishes, I will kill your head!" β
Xia Liang looked at the vegetables he bought, confirmed the gap between reality and ideals, and could only wipe the sweat on his forehead: "Back to the emperor, it's really difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and Weichen can't do it." β
"Kill your head!"
"The emperor spares his life!"
ββ¦β¦ I don't know if I should talk about it. β
Bai Jingxuan, who was on the side, looked at the two of them who didn't know what to call the small theater, raised a hand, and said in a weak voice: "It's half past six now." β
And her words, as if clockwork a toy, made the other two look at her together.
"Half past six?"
"Half past six!"
The two of them made alarmed voices together.
The reason why this time made them react so much was because it represented one thing - Red Si and Lai were coming soon.
Since Delphinium left Fangting City and arranged for Hong Sihe to take care of them, every day, between six and seven o'clock, Hong Sihe would make a special trip to the secret base after work.
And if Hongsi arrives and finds that the children haven't eaten dinner yet......
"Is it too late to make dinner?"
After exclaiming, Lin Xiaolu asked a little sluggishly.
"About half an hour, if it's simpler?"
Xia Liang fiddled with the pile of ingredients under his hand with some embarrassment: "The time to cook noodles should be shorter, right?" β
"So the woman...... How long will it take for Red Sihe to come over? β
"According to the time she gets off work, I'm afraid it's ten minutes at most, and if it was earlier, it would have been there by now, right?"
After Xia Liang said this, he realized something and stopped. She looked at the ingredients in front of her with some determination, and then glanced at Lin Xiaolu.
The two men didn't say anything, but the meaning in their eyes was the same: big trouble.
During the days of taking care of the three little ones, Hong Sihe had confidently walked into the kitchen several times, but the final result she made made the girls invite her out of the kitchen again.
It can only be said that in the matter of cooking, Hong Sihe's enthusiasm is worthy of recognition, and there is nothing else to be desired.
Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang had already experienced her cooking skills, so they had already taken precautions against the products of her cooking, but Mo Ke was different, after drinking the soup of Hongsi and Burn without warning, it was directly planted on the dining table, and was moved aside and lay down for a while before relieving itself.
Only Bai Jingxuan, for some reason, was able to endure the meal with a completely unbalanced sense of taste, and finished it with a calm face.
But since then, Lin Xiaolu, Xia Liang, and Mo Ke have all begun to strongly oppose Hongsi and entering and leaving the kitchen of the secret base.
It's a pity that even though they have explained the reason for the matter to Hong Sihe and clearly said that her cooking skills are very problematic, they still can't stop Hong Sihe's enthusiasm.
In response to the opposition of the three, Hong Sihe became more and more frustrated, showed an attitude of "accepting the challenge", and went home to conduct some research and improvement of cooking skills. Then, not knowing exactly what she had studied, she announced that she had "evolved" and once again walked into the kitchen despite the obstacles.
The result was a table of even more unpalatable dishes.
This time, in the face of the dishes she cooked, even Bai Jingxuan began to look embarrassed.
The level of cooking skills is so stable, naturally, everyone doesn't want Hong Sihe to continue cooking.
It's just that in the current situation, if dinner is not ready, it is difficult to guarantee that the red thoughts who come to take care of the girls will not be whimsical and say that they want to show their hands.
Lin Xiaolu didn't want her to show her hand.
"What to do? Or do you want to order takeout? Touching out his mobile phone and opening the ordering software, Lin Xiaolu stumbled: "Come, is it too late?" Why don't I just turn into and fly over to pick up food? β
"Don't think about your takeout at this time."
Smiling a little helplessly, Xia Liang began to take off his coat: "Forget it, I originally wanted to go home and rest for a while, but now I can only do it myself." β
"Is it too late for a person?"
Lin Xiaolu proposed with some concern: "I'm here to help too?" β
"Don't make a mess, it's the best help." Xia Liang walked into the kitchen, took out the sleeve and put it on his arm, and walked to the stove: "I want you to help me get it when you hand me something." β
"This little thing? No problem! Lin Xiaolu is full of confidence.
"Why don't you let me ......" Bai Jingxuan on the side wanted to follow up the kitchen, but was stopped outside the kitchen by Lin Xiaolu.
"Hot oil and knives are too dangerous, just wait until we're done!" That's her rhetoric.
And as the work in the kitchen began, Xia Liang was also busy in front of the stove.
As for Lin Xiaolu, at first, she was honestly waiting for Xia Liang to assign her a job, but as time passed, she found that she didn't seem to have much use for herself.
Out of boredom, she could only stand behind Xia Liang and point at the work in her hands:
"Is there too much water here?"
"The shredded vegetables are too coarsely cut, and it's so messy."
"It feels like the eggs aren't beaten evenly enough."
"The ingredient soup is so monotonous, it doesn't feel as good as the ...... made by the delphinium"
Bang!
Xia Liang slammed the spatula in his hand on the cutting board on the side, turned his head sideways, and although he had a smile on his face, there was no smile in his eyes: "Shut up." β
Lin Xiaolu suddenly shrank her head like a frightened quail.
Work continues in the kitchen.
In this way, Xia Liang acted as fast as he could, and in just over ten minutes, a simple dried noodle was ready, and the two girls walked out of the kitchen with the boiled noodles and returned to the restaurant.
"Thankfully, today's woman ...... Red Si came relatively late. Holding the bowl with both hands, Lin Xiaolu breathed a long sigh of relief, "If she has to get involved in the middle, it will be troublesome." β
"You didn't play a role in the side, did you?"
Xia Liang squinted his eyes and smiled: "Next time, if you talk more in the kitchen, it's better to figure out whose hand the knife is." β
"Got it......"
Lin Xiaolu responded in a muffled voice, stretched out her chopsticks and stirred in the bowl, picked out a string of noodles, and sucked it into her mouth.
Then, her complexion became extremely strange.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Liang was a little strange, and then took a sip of noodles, and then his expression became subtle: "...... Ah, no salt? β
"Why an interrogative sentence?" Lin Xiaolu knocked on the edge of the bowl angrily.
"Because I did it so fast, I forgot what I did......" Xia Liang pursed his lips.
Lin Xiaolu was silent for a moment, and finally put down the chopsticks in his hand: "Kill the head!" β
"The emperor spares his life!"
On the side, Bai Jingxuan watched the interaction between the two silently, and after eating the noodles expressionlessly, she suddenly said, "Speaking of which, Sister Hong hasn't come over yet?" It's a lot later than usual. β
"Maybe it's a job or something."
found a few cans of pickles from the refrigerator, Lin Xiaolu said indifferently: "If you don't come, you won't come." β
"Don't say that, I've prepared her share for dinner, so let's send a message to ask."
Xia Liang said this, opened the mobile phone to edit the message, and sent it to Hong Sihe, and after a while, the mobile phone made a vibrating sound, obviously getting a reply.
"What did she say?" Lin Xiaolu asked.
"I'll look at ......"
Xia Liang swiped the screen of her mobile phone: "She said that she may not be able to come tonight because she has to work overtime." β
"Why?" Lin Xiaolu lowered her head to deal with the cap of the pickle bottle.
- "Is it because of the recent exams of the Alien Bureau?" β
- "She said that the Bureau of Alien Policy was about to take the recruitment exam, and she was going to participate in the question. β
Two voices rang out almost simultaneously, but from two different people.
Xia Liang read out the content of the text message, but found that he was not the only one who was talking, and looked in the direction of the words, and saw that Bai Jingxuan also said something similar at the same time.
"Does Xiaoxuan know?" Putting down her phone, she asked with some confusion.
"Yes."
Bai Jingxuan nodded: "Because someone I know has told me." β
"Who? People from welfare homes? β
"It's a caregiver at a welfare home."
Bai Jingxuan lowered her head and replied in a low voice, "My sisters should have seen him before." β
"We've seen him?" Xia Liang tilted his head.
"It's the time when bad guys came to the welfare home to make trouble." Bai Jingxuan continued to explain, "The uncle who was with me at the time was him. β
"Seems a little impressed?" Lin Xiaolu nodded his chin and said.
"It's that rude guy!" Mo Ke, who was sitting behind Bai Jingxuan, clasped his hands and said.
"Well, I met him when I went back to the welfare home before, so we had a brief chat."
Bai Jingxuan nodded: "He said that he was preparing for the exam recently, and if he passed, he would not come to work in the welfare institute in the future." β
"Is the work of the Bureau of Aliens good?" Finally twisted open the pickle jar in his hand, Lin Xiaolu put it on the table, and looked at Bai Jingxuan: "How can I listen to what you mean, the exam to work in the Different Strategy Bureau is very difficult?" β
What came silence was silence.
Because no matter Bai Jingxuan or Xia Liang, they all looked at her with an eye like an alien creature.
"Didn't you usually listen to what Sister Hong said?"
After a while, it was Xia Liang who was the first to explain: "It's a different strategy, but ordinary magic makes the best work!" β
"Best job? Obviously it's a group of people who are responsible for repairing the city? Lin Xiaolu blinked.
"People are still responsible for managing the magic side personnel other than the remnants and magical girls."
Xia Liang smiled dryly: "You look down on people too much." β
"Huh...... In this way, it is actually a very difficult thing for that uncle to go to the exam? β
took out a pinch of pickles and lifted them together with the noodles, Lin Xiaolu's voice did not fluctuate: "Then I wish him success in the exam." β
Yesterday I fell asleep again groggily, and then there was something during the day on Sunday, and I haven't had time to make up for the update.
In the future, if it's really too late to update, I'll send a notice in the book review area, I'm really sorry.
