Chapter 40

Seeing Xu Zeqing so unfrightened, Huo Wenan felt bored.

He put away his gun and walked into the courtyard, where he stood for a while before he heard the sound of a whistle running frantically.

Shaking his head contemptuously, Huo Wenan scolded in a low voice: "Stupid thing." After scolding, as soon as he looked up, he looked at Xu Xingguang standing on the balcony on the second floor next door.

Xu Xingguang smiled brightly at him, whistled and said, "Boss Huo, the toys are very realistic." More than realistic, from a distance, Xu Xingguang could feel the chill released from that gun.

It wasn't a toy, it was a real killing weapon.

It's just that I don't know what Boss Huo has done to that gun, disguised as a simulated water gun.

Huo Wen'an nodded to Xu Xingguang and was about to go into the house, but he heard Xu Xingguang say, "If it's okay, come to my house at noon to have a housewarming meal together." ”

Huo Wen'an hesitated before saying, "I'm a picky eater." He hoped that Xu Xingguang would retreat from the difficulties.

Xu Xingguang said: "Coincidentally, I'm also a picky eater." ”

As a top chef in the world of food, there are countless people who want to taste Xu Xingguang's cooking. But she picks her diners to the point of nitpicking, and people in the world of food are honored to be able to eat her own meals.

Xu Xingguang said so, and Huo Wenan couldn't shirk it.

Nodding, he said, "Then bother." ”

Xu Xingguang went to the town to buy vegetables, although the ingredients were ordinary, but after her skillful cooking, all of them became delicious dishes with full color, flavor and flavor.

Huo Wen'an closed his eyes in the lounge and smelled the aroma of food wafting from the kitchen next door, and immediately felt that the smell of Chinese medicine in his room was too pungent.

Huo Wen'an actually felt a little hungry.

He slowly stood up, walked into the bedroom inside, glanced at it, and took the clay-colored vase that was on the table by the window. He picked a few red plums from the uninhabited yard next door, and then went to the neighbor's house.

Hearing the knock on the door, Xu Xingguang opened the courtyard door and saw Boss Huo standing outside the door holding a vase with red plums.

The boss Huo in front of him was wearing a black sweater, his skin was whiter than snow, and his pearl-colored lips were even more angry and red than the red plum in his bottle.

Xu Xingguang subconsciously cocked his tongue and pushed his mouth to the roof of his mouth.

What a tempting Boss Huo.

"Congratulations on moving." Boss Huo handed the vase to Xu Xingguang.

Xu Xingguang took the vase, "Come in." I'm going to be busy for a while, and you're just going to hang out by yourself. ”

"Hmm."

Xu Xingguang went to the kitchen to continue stir-frying, and Huo Wen'an stood in the empty courtyard and thought for a while before entering the house.

The old furniture in the small building has been removed, and the new furniture is placed in the old living room, which looks a little out of place. The TV wall in the main hall is empty, the wallpaper is a little torn, and there are children's paintings drawn by Xu Xingguang when he was a child.

The ghost-like painting, Huo Wen'an didn't understand.

Noticing the old man's cotton shoes on the shoe cabinet in the corner, Huo Wenan realized that Xu Xingguang did not live alone. "There are elderly people in the family?"

"Well, my grandfather." Xu Xingguang pointed upstairs and explained: "The old man is paralyzed, and it is inconvenient to see guests. ”

Huo Wen'an understands very well.

"Help me peel the beans." Xu Xingguang suddenly threw a bag of green beans at him.

Huo Wen'an grabbed the beans, he was stunned for a moment, and then walked into the kitchen and sat down on the small stool in front of the trash can.

The East-meets-West kitchen is old-fashioned, but spacious. The two of them are in the same room, and they don't feel crowded.

Huo Wen'an honestly finished peeling the beans, and when he looked up, he saw the delicacies on the stove.

The feeling of hunger intensified.

Xu Xingguang turned off the fire, picked up the crockpot and walked to the restaurant, saying as he walked, "Boss Huo, help me serve the food." She was not polite at all, and did not regard Huo Wen'an as a guest.

Huo Wen'an hadn't been summoned for a long time, and he felt novel, but he did it.

Xu Xingguang made four dishes.

A dish of stir-fried shredded lettuce, cut thin and even, the length is almost the same, fried crispy and tender with green light, decorated with seven or eight red pepper rings, looking at it will hook people's taste buds.

A bowl of steamed egg custard with clams, the surface is smooth and delicate, exuding the fresh fragrance of clams and the unique smell of eggs. A plate of spicy pig's trotters, oily but not greasy, fat and thin, Xu Xingguang also used a few mint leaves to decorate.

There is a stewed chicken soup left, the soup is slightly yellow, the wolfberry retains its original color, it looks soft but not rotten, and the soup is delicious.

Looking at this table of dishes, Huo Wen'an felt a little like swallowing saliva, but he endured it. He didn't rush to move the chopsticks, but asked politely, "Don't you need to leave food for your grandfather?" ”

"Keep it, put it in the kitchen to keep warm, and we'll eat it first." Xu Xingguang asked him if he drank alcohol, and Huo Wenan shook his head, "The body is not suitable for drinking." ”

"Let's eat, then."

Huo Wenan was not polite, he served a bowl of chicken soup first, and did not say anything during the process of drinking the soup. After drinking it, I couldn't help but fill another bowl.

"Other dishes are good, too." Seeing that he was dry with the pot of chicken soup, Xu Xingguang scooped a spoonful of steamed eggs and put them into the small bowl next to Huo Wen'an's soup bowl.

"Thank you." Huo Wenan did not refuse Xu Xingguang's initiative to pick up vegetables.

Huo Wen'an has lost his appetite over the years, he has eaten very little, and his stomach is small. Today's meal was particularly appetizing to Huo Wen'an, and he had the urge to overeat.

But he restrained himself.

Putting down the chopsticks, Huo Wenan praised from the bottom of his heart: "It tastes very good, Miss Xu, your cooking skills amaze me." ”

Xu Xingguang's appetite is not small, after she ate all the dishes except the chicken soup, she sandwiched the mint leaves used to decorate the pork trotters into Huo Wen'an's bowl. "Try this, there will be a surprise."

Huo Wen'an frowned, "I don't like mint. In fact, in the past, he didn't like to eat chicken or pig's trotters, but today he has made an exception.

But Huo Wen'an really can't love mint.

Xu Xingguang snorted and told Huo Wen'an: "It's not mint, try it." ”

Huo Wen'an put the suspicious mint leaf into his mouth.

At the entrance of mint, a cold chill rushed straight towards Huo Wen'an's Tianling Gai, making his teeth and nerves tremble.

Huo Wen'an's eyes widened slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to spit out the mint leaves, but Xu Xingguang was looking at him fixedly, and he could only swallow it.

This meal was enjoyed by the guests and hosts.

After eating, Huo Wen'an took his leave.

Normally, every time Huo Wen'an eats for an hour, his body absorbs new energy, and the blood in his body will be crazy and restless.

At that time, it was like a small volcano hidden in his body, and the pain made him sweat wildly.

Huo Wen'an has lived three or four years like this, and he has long been used to it.

Back in the lounge, Huo Wen'an sat down on the recliner and waited for the onset of his illness. When it was close to two o'clock, the temperature in Huo Wen'an's body gradually rose, and under the thin and fair skin, the cyan blood vessels began to expand.

But to his confusion, the expected riot and severe pain did not happen, and the blood in his body only stirred for a few minutes before slowly calming down.

Huo Wen'an's eyes changed from confused to stunned.

Why is this happening?

Huo Wenan got up with doubts, walked out of the house, stood in the corridor under the eaves and watched the sunset, and suddenly saw and heard footsteps next door.

He turned his head to look over, and through the iron fence, he saw Xu Xingguang walking out with a large porcelain basin.

Xu Xingguang placed the porcelain basin by the courtyard wall and squatted there to plant something.

Huo Wen'an walked to the corner of the wall, stared at the busy Xu Xingguang, and asked her, "What are you planting?" ”

"Mint." Xu Xingguang said.

After observing for a while, Huo Wen'an noticed that Xu Xingguang's way of planting mint was completely different from the planting method of professional gardeners. Gardeners grow mint by cuttings and seeds.

Dig up a mint plant and plant it in the soil with the roots and tendons, and it will sprout quickly. Or just sprinkle it with mint seeds.

But Xu Xingguang's mint seeds are not grains, but whiskers, and there is ice on them. She buried the roots in the soil and sprinkled a layer of white on them.

"What's that? Manure? Huo Wen'an was completely puzzled.

Xu Xingguang clapped his hands, stood up, winked at him and said, "Salt." ”

Huo Wenan only thought that Xu Xingguang was joking. "When will you move the courier you put in my yard?"

"I'll move out later."

Huo Wen'an looked at the outer packaging of those couriers and found that Xu Xingguang bought all the tools, including farming tools, electrical tools, and maintenance tools.

There is a lot of variety, you name it.

"What do you buy so many tools for?" Huo Wenan always couldn't see through all of Xu Xingguang's behavior.

Xu Xingguang pointed to the empty yard behind her, and she said: "I want to redecorate the house and the courtyard, and I plan to open a live broadcast account for live broadcast." ”

Huo Wenan knew that the live broadcast could make money, he stared at Xu Xingguang's delicate and beautiful hands, and didn't believe that she would decorate the house and design the yard.

But people can't look good, and he didn't believe that Xu Xingguang could cook before.

"It's a good plan." But when he thought that his life was short and he didn't have much time to live, and the little girl next door was doing live broadcasts to make money, Huo Wen'an's mood suddenly became delicate.
