Sixth, everyone is ready to eat
After the heavy rain, a rainbow appeared in the sky, and the little boy Mango walked into the hotel. "Auntie, I'm going to leave with my father."
"Your mom agreed?"
"I chose it myself, my father married someone else in the city, I don't want my mother, he just wants me."
"You're gone, what about Mom? Mom must be very sad to love you so much. ”
"I know, but I want to protect my mother. I want to grow up quickly and earn money to support my mother. ”
Qi Ji didn't say anything, and hugged the mango in his arms, "No matter where you go, you must be healthy and happy, so that your mother will rest assured." ”
"There's something I'd like to ask you? Can you teach me how to make mango cake, I think every year on my mother's birthday, she sees the mango cake and is like seeing me. ”
Qi Ji taught Mango to make cakes, and everyone encouraged him and praised the delicious cakes made by the little guys.
"Don't tell your mother I've been here, she'll be even sadder if she knows. I'll be back one day. ”
The child grew up overnight and was precocious beyond his years.
Liu Cheng gave the little rabbit carved with radish to Mango, "A word is decided, when you come back, I will teach you to carve a little rabbit." ”
Mango holds the little rabbit and can't put it down.
"Boy, no matter how far you go, remember that you are a member of the island and don't disgrace the island." ”
Standing at the gate, Mango hugged Liucheng, Luming, and Ma Li respectively. Mango's father glared at Qiji, and angrily took Mango away and stuffed it into the car.
Mango leaned on the back window, wiping tears from her eyes as she waved goodbye.
Qi Ji looked at the car that had gone away, and his heart was mixed.
The sun shines on the little animals in the window - bears, kittens, giraffes, elephants...... They have different postures and cute appearances, and if you look closely, you will find that they are all made of shells and conch glues.
It is a narrow alley with a slow slope, and on both sides of the road are shops next to each other, and handicraft shops are among them. There is also a grocery store, a food store, and a fishing tackle store...... The scent of the sea wafts in the breeze, and the alleys are quiet and serene.
Lu Ming went to several pharmacies and didn't get the kind of sleeping pills he wanted. The sleeping pills brought from the UK have been eaten, and the ones ordered online have not been received for a week. He called to inquire and said that international mail needs to pass the customs review, and the cycle will be relatively long.
The insomnia problem was something he had struck four years earlier, and it was a nightmare for him that he would never wake up from.
As soon as Lu Ming stepped into the door of the hotel, he was pulled to the kitchen by Qi Ji.
"You taste it, I made a cheese chocolate cake".
Lu Ming listened to Ma Ma describe the creative cake made by Qi Ji as a lethal weapon, so he was stunned when he looked at the cake.
"What are you doing? Hurry up and eat! Kiki urged again.
Lu Ming gently dug a small piece in the corner of the cake with a fork and hesitantly put it in his mouth. Hey, it tastes sweet! He licked it with the tip of his tongue, it was very fragrant! Lu Ming was relieved now, and dug a big mouth and put it in his mouth.
"How does it taste?" She waited for his evaluation.
"It's delicious! It's as terrifying as horsepower says. Lu Ming replied.
Qiji said with a smile, "A while ago, I really wanted to create a new Western-style cake, just like Chinese pastry, sweet and sour, bitter, spicy and salty, not always the same taste, but then the experiment failed, and it was a waste of ingredients, a sin." Think about it, I'm really whimsical, this cake has a history of hundreds of years, it is estimated that the ancestors have tried everything, and it is not unreasonable that sweet cakes can become mainstream. ”
Lu Ming handed the plate to Qi Ji and said, "Bring me another piece."
"What to eat?" Liu Cheng walked in.
"The cheese chocolate cake I made."
"Will it be delicious?"
Qi Ji handed Liu Cheng a piece, Liu Cheng looked at Lu Ming, Lu Ming nodded, he dared to take it.
The dessert after lunch was cheese chocolate cake, and Qin Feng praised Qiji's good craftsmanship for the first time. It is also proposed to sprinkle some more slices of almonds on the cake.
The TV at the bar is broadcasting the weather forecast, and there will be continuous rain in the south and southeast in the next few days, and the temperature will drop somewhat, so remind you to pay attention to extra clothes when going out.
"It's going to cool down again! Wouldn't that make it even less likely for people to travel? ”
Chiki leaned his chin and leaned against the bar, and said with some concern.
"It's okay, the weather forecast is not so accurate, usually we have a real cold during the Spring Festival here." Ma Li comforted and picked up the remote control to change the channel.
The next day, Qi Ji went to buy almond slices and came back, tried to add them to the cheese chocolate cake, and after making it, he took it to the study on the second floor with great interest and went to Qin Feng to taste it.
Qin Feng was sitting on the sofa, holding an English novel, and was napping, when he saw the almond cheese chocolate cake brought by Qi Ji, he suddenly came to his senses. He went back to his room and took out the coffee beans, made two cups of coffee from the inn's coffee machine, and brought them up.
"Is this called giving a peach and repaying it?"
"You're interested!"
After Qiji took a sip, the aroma spread in his mouth, "Wow, it's so fragrant!" ”
Liu Cheng took the seafood fried rice out of the horse spoon, and just put the plate on the countertop of Nakajima, Qin Feng walked into the kitchen.
"You're here at the right time, it's just fried, do you want to eat it now, or will you eat it hot later."
"Brother Liu, how do you practice this skill, if anyone is your wife, it will be blessed. You seem to have a mood when you cook a dish. ”
"First time I heard about it. But my stay here was purely accidental. ”
"Why, what do you mean, won't you stay for long?"
"It's hard to say! What about you, how long do you plan to stay? ”
Qiji stood outside the kitchen at some point, turned around and walked away lonely.
Tonight is starry and calm.
It has been a long time since it opened, and the business has not improved, and everyone has thought of some solutions, but it can be seen that the effect is not great. No one came tonight, and it was a pity that the ingredients prepared were wasted, so Qiji proposed that everyone might as well have a dinner.
To be honest, we usually eat together, but we haven't officially met yet.
All four men chimed in. They were already worried that Qiji would be anxious and angry because no one came, so since she was so interested, why not do it.
The huge wooden round table on the terrace on the second floor was full of dishes, all carefully prepared by Liu Cheng, and this was the first time they had such a decent dinner.
"There will always be a moment in my life when I feel like I have to do it, and Miracle Hotel is such a thing for me. Thank you very much. I hope that here all the brothers and younger brothers will wipe off the dust in their hearts and get the motivation to move forward. To all! ”
Qi Ji raised the red wine glass in his hand, and the four men Liu Cheng, Lu Ming, Ma Li, and Qin Feng also raised their wine glasses, clinked glasses, and drained the red wine in the glass as if they had sworn allegiance.
The post-95 Qi Ji is not like her peers, she is not selfish, she knows how to be grateful, if you treat her well, she will be doubly good to you, which is also one of the advantages of attracting the four big men around her. They are willing to stay, they are willing to protect her, they are willing to spoil her, and they help her realize her dreams.
Liu Cheng got up, shook his wine glass, and said calmly, "I have been to many places and met all kinds of people, some places have names that cannot be said, and some people have vague appearances. But those places and those people have accompanied me through the most difficult moments of my life. I thank them from the bottom of my heart.
The hardships of the past are also the proof of life, and they have created you and me now. Whether you are alive or dead, there is a place in your heart. To friends! ”
Liu Cheng drank it all in one gulp.
ET (the cat) circled around the table and finally lay down at Yanagi's feet. Liu Cheng picked it up and took a fish from the table for it, and it happily nibbled on it.
Lu Ming thought about it, and everyone quieted down and prepared to listen to him.
"Thanks to my mother, I have mastered a means to earn a living. But she is gone. May she be well in heaven! ”
Liu Cheng, who was sitting next to Lu Ming, patted him on the shoulder encouragingly.
"I'm from Shanghai, and I make a living translating all kinds of unpopular English novels." Qin Feng said casually.
Qi Ji took the boiled tube in front of him and exchanged it with Ma Li for grilled fish.
Everyone seemed to be waiting for Qin Feng to continue, but he ended his statement and turned his head to horsepower.
Horsepower put the plate.
"Listen to me while you eat, don't look at me."
After adjusting his breath slightly, Horsepower continued, "Father is the best captain in our area. When I was a child, I liked to listen to my father tell stories about pirates. At that time, the dream was to sail around the world in a boat like William Danpier. ”
"I've heard of this man, he was a famous British pirate in the 17th century, and a veritable navigator." Lu Ming said.
Well, it is said that he has made three voyages around the world, and not only discovered Australia, but also found a "wild man" in sheep's clothing on an uninhabited island near Chile, Juan Fernand. Liu Cheng continued.
This "wild man" named Alexander Selkirk is the prototype of Robinson Crusoe, the protagonist of "Robinson Crusoe". Qin Feng said next.
Qi Ji watched them finish speaking one by one, and really admired the strong knowledge reserves of these three people.
Ma Li was a little excited to hear them say this, it seems that they are all the same!
"At my father's funeral, my mother said she didn't want me to be a captain in the future. I gave up my volunteer and stayed with my mother. Actually, everything I do is the same for me now, as long as I can do a career with like-minded people. ”
"They don't know that the soul is on a twofold path, that life is only a parable, and that dreams are only an allegory. The road of life is shrouded in black clouds; The road of dreams shines with a smile in the blue sky. Evil weeds grow on the road of life; Flowers bloom on the road of dreams. Man, a body and a soul, struggles to move forward on these two paths, forever. ”
Qin Feng made a footnote with famous quotes, pushing the atmosphere of the dinner party to a climax.
The five cups collided together, and everyone was in high spirits and drank the wine in their glasses. Each of them carefully hides secrets that they don't want to be shared with outsiders, while also revealing their truest side.
Pushing the cup and changing the lamp, before I knew it, it was early in the morning. The friendship between the five people was deepened and they became each other's spiritual partners.
The next day, a movie crew came to the hotel, and it was full at once.
Kiki stood in the kitchen and looked out.
Liu Cheng walked over, looked out along the corner of the curtain opened by Qi Ji, and said, "What are you secretly looking at here?" ”
"That's Ziyi at the bar, right? Forget it, you don't know if I ask you. Kiki said.
"It's her." Liu Cheng replied.
"You know her, too." Kiki was a little incredulous.
Liu Cheng rolled his eyes, "When I was in college, her movies were on fire, and she was the dream girl of all the boys in our dormitory. ”
"What about you?" When Qi Ji heard Liu Cheng say this, he suddenly became curious.
"I'm ......" Liu Cheng paused, and the memory came to him like sea water in an instant. Wasn't he in love with his deceased wife at that time?
"What do you think I got?" Malay ran over from the bar and offered a treasure to Kiki with a coaster.
"It's her signature. Awesome horsepower! Kiki took the coaster and looked at it.
"Is she that international superstar?" Mali asked Kiki.
"Yes." Kiki and Liu Cheng nodded their heads.
"It's called that baby, right?"
"Baby, you're big." Kiki taps horsepower on the head with a coaster.
"You don't even know who it is, so ask someone to sign it."
Horsepower was a little disappointed and stuffed the coaster to Kiki, "I've got you." ”
"Is she famous?" Ma asked .
"It's your brother Liu's dream lover." Kiki said jokingly.
"Really Brother Liu, then this signature will be given to you." Ma Li snatched the coaster from Kiki and handed it to Yanagi.
"No need, I'll ask for it myself."
Kiki looked at Liu Cheng who was walking away, and thought to himself, 'What the hell is he thinking in his heart?' Should I be proactive? ’
