7 Chapter 7

The night was already high in the sky, and even if there were no clouds to obscure it, there were no stars in the sky in the city, and there were a few scattered ones, not even the lights of those office buildings.

The figure in the kitchen is busy in an orderly manner, one plate of stir-fried zucchini is out of the pot, the other side of the pot is stuffy with fish-flavored eggplant, and with the clink of the oven, the salt-and-pepper grilled salmon is also baked.

The smell of incense spread in the kitchen, and as soon as Si Heng looked up, he saw Jiang Gu who was holding a cat teasing stick to tease Guli and scratching left and right.

Outside the balcony, the night is thick, the house is brightly lit, people in pajamas and shorts sit cross-legged on the sofa and laugh with the cat, the small bell on the cat stick makes a crisp sound, and the spotlights above shine down, as if giving people a warm soft light.

Si Heng laughed unconsciously when he saw it, all this beauty was like a glittering bubble, which people didn't dare to touch, for fear that it would shatter if they touched it.

The aroma of food surrounds the kitchen, and the people you crave in your heart laugh like a dream.

Reflecting the beauty in front of him deeply, Si Heng looked at the time, it was almost seven o'clock, Jiang Gu went to bed early, so it was not good to eat dinner too late, so he interrupted the one person and one cat who were playing: "The meal is ready, you can come over and eat." ”

Jiang Gu subconsciously put away the cat stick, and Gu Li pounced, and the milky clip sound in the milk whined with a hint of dissatisfaction, which made Jiang Gu not hold back his laughter: "I'll play with you after eating." ”

Putting on slippers and walking to the restaurant, Si Heng was taking the grilled salmon out of the oven, and Jiang Gu exclaimed: "So much." ”

Si Heng smiled: "It's rare to have someone to eat with me, there are so many ingredients in the refrigerator, consume a little more, reduce a little waste, you can eat as you like, and you don't have to force it if you don't like to eat." ”

Jiang Gu smelled the fragrance, pulled out a chair and sat down: "It's so fragrant, I like it a lot, there is nothing I don't like to eat, it's hard work, I have to come back to cook after a tired day at work." ”

Jiang Gu thought that anyway, there are conditions now, and he has plenty of time, otherwise he will learn to cook, it doesn't seem to be difficult.

In the past, he didn't have that condition, he lived on campus since high school, and lived in the teacher's house during the winter and summer vacations, and the teacher couldn't let him cook, and the university was either a cafeteria or a takeout.

Now there is no harm in learning the ready-made kitchen, after all, it is impossible for him to eat what others make for the rest of his life, and he will always have to live alone in the future.

However, the person on the other side was like living in his head, and before his thoughts could be spoken, he was dispelled by the other party's words: "Cooking is rest and relaxation for me, I like to do these, but unfortunately I didn't have a meal partner before, and I couldn't finish eating too much alone, but now I have it, you can taste it, I make it very light, I don't know if you eat or not." ”

Everyone had already said this, and Jiang Gu couldn't say anything more, following his words, the first chopsticks were sandwiched to the fish-flavored eggplant.

Eggplant is very oily, and many of the restaurants outside are greasy, and if there is less oil, it will become dry and not delicious, but he likes to eat eggplant, so the first chopsticks want to try this.

As soon as the eggplant was in his mouth, the sauce was rich but not heavy, and the sweetness of the ingredients itself was still retained, diluting a lot of oily greasy, Jiang Gu's eyes widened slightly in surprise: "It's delicious!" You're such a good cook, huh? ”

It's too surprising, because Si Heng seems to be a very elite kind of person, and he feels more suitable for red wine steak, but he didn't expect this Chinese stir-fry to be unexpectedly delicious.

The clear brown eyes looked at him with surprise, and the other party's expression was focused and smiling under the light, which made Si Heng's heart beat so violently that it seemed to extend to the palm of his hand.

Clenched the chopsticks in his hand slightly, Si Heng accepted his praise with a calm expression: "Try this fish, be careful with the mushrooms next to you, the juice is baked in it, and it will be a little hot." ”

Jiang Gu nodded, the fish is also delicious, the fish is soft and tender, even if it has been grilled, it has not destroyed its own taste too much, with a little salty pepper and salt, the more the sweetness of the meat is grown.

The fried zucchini also tastes very good, after eating the sauce of fish-flavored eggplant, and then taking a bite of the crispness of zucchini, refreshing and rice, even the mushrooms stained with fish oil are particularly refreshing.

After trying each dish, Jiang Gu praised him unreservedly: "Your cooking skills are amazing, to be honest, I'm quite surprised, now many people rely on takeout, and not many cook by themselves." ”

Si Heng: "I used to travel around for more than a year, and things abroad were really hard to eat, and sometimes I had to go far to find a Chinese restaurant, and it was ridiculously expensive, so I made it myself as long as I could." ”

Jiang Gu's eyes were full of curiosity: "And then your cooking skills are practiced like this?" ”

In Jiang Gu's expression of waiting for the follow-up, Si Heng shook his head: "No, it's that my own cooking is more unpalatable, so after returning to China, I signed up for a short-term crash chef class." ”

This reversed Jiang Gu couldn't hold back his laughter, fortunately he wasn't eating in his mouth, otherwise he would definitely be choked.

Si Heng continued: "Later, I started a business with my classmates, in the early years, there was an explosive period in the new media industry, a bunch of people poured in, and if you want to gain a firm foothold in this industry, you can only invest a lot of time and energy. ”

Jiang Gu is not very good at comforting people, this kind of distraction is only suitable for him to listen, but if he only listens and does not respond, it doesn't seem to be good, so he has to say dryly: "It's not easy to start a business." ”

Si Heng smiled: "So then I fell in love with the kitchen, cooking is a kind of rest and relaxation for me, if you have anything you like to eat, you can tell me, it doesn't matter how complicated it is, I like to challenge the difficulty." ”

Jiang Gu responded with a good word, the roommate was responsible for doing it, and he was responsible for eating, perfect.

I don't know if it's because I've eaten in the canteen and takeout for too long, this kind of home-cooked food that is fried and eaten is particularly delicious, and Jiang Gu, who has never had a good appetite at night, rarely finished a bowl of rice.

The three dishes are not too much, and after determining that Jiang Gu couldn't eat it, Si Heng solved all the rest, and didn't let Jiang Gu, who only ate nothing from beginning to end and didn't have a troubled conscience and wanted to help clean up the table, intervened, Si Heng once again simply poured the kitchen waste into the trash can and threw it into the dishwasher.

Jiang Gu wandered around the house, and then took the initiative to apply to go downstairs to throw away the garbage: "I'm too full to eat, so go down and take a stroll to eliminate my appetite." ”

Si Heng wanted to say that he was with him, but they only lived together the next day, he was familiar with Jiang Gu, but Jiang Gu was not familiar with him, and it was estimated that he would not want to be accompanied by a person he was not familiar with, so he had to say: "Then you be careful, the buildings in the community look similar, there are many greenery and mosquitoes, and you have a mobile phone, so call me at any time if you have anything." ”

Jiang Gu responded with a good word, and when he walked to the entrance to change his shoes, Si Heng came over with a bottle of insect repellent water: "Spray it, this is an odorless plant essential oil, and there should be no ingredients that are easy to allergen." ”

Jiang Guxin said that this person is too careful, just as he was about to reach out and take it, Si Heng had already bent down and sprayed him on his leg with the insect repellent water, and said while spraying: "Turn around and hold your breath." ”

Then he sprayed all over the back of his hands.

Before going out, he stuffed a small electric fan into his hand, still with flashlight lighting, Jiang Gu stood at the door with garbage in one hand and a small fan in the other.

Si Heng's eyes showed doubts: "What's wrong?" ”

Jiang Gu smiled and said, "Look at what you haven't explained." ”

Si Heng also laughed: "Although there is no sun at night, it is also very sultry, so come back early after a little stroll." ”

Jiang Gu couldn't stop smiling between his eyebrows: "Okay." ”

The door was closed again, there was one less person in the room, and the room that had just made Si Heng feel warm instantly became empty.

Seeing him standing motionless at the doorway, Goo Li walked over with his big tail and rubbed coquettishly at his feet.

Si Heng picked up the cat and kneaded its little ears: "I really envy you." ”

Gollum, who couldn't understand what he was saying, rested his chin on the shoveler's arm: "Meow..."

The greening of the high-end community is indeed very good, the lights are very bright, even if you walk on the green path, you will not be able to see the road clearly at night, and there are mosquito catching equipment at intervals, so even under the bright street lights, you can't see the swarms of small flying insects.

Children don't know whether they can't be closed or are not afraid of the heat, many children who look like they are four or five years old are playing happily around the entertainment facilities in the small garden, swing slides, various colorful climbing frames, laughing, running, jumping, screaming and running crazy.

The old man sat around and called back from time to time the children who had run away like crazy.

This scene made Jiang Gu a little surprised, he originally thought that this kind of high-end community of tens of millions of years would not appear such a life-like scene, he thought that this level of class should be delicate and indifferent, even if it is a four or five-year-old child, he is already on the way to be a chicken baby.

It seems that there are some things that I haven't seen with my own eyes, so I really can't take them for granted.

The child's screams were too noisy, so Jiang Gu avoided the small park and walked around the artificial lake, waiting for his stomach to be less swollen before going upstairs.

As soon as the door opened, the refreshing cold air hit his face, and Guli was chasing its little electric mouse in the living room, Si Heng was sitting on the carpet, and his computer was on the coffee table.

Seeing him come back, Si Heng stopped what he was doing: "Is it hot outside?" ”

Jiang Gu gently pulled his collar and fanned the wind: "It's hot, it's so hot, there are still a lot of children playing downstairs." ”

Si Heng said: "It's a holiday, so after there is no sun at night, there will be more children in the community, but the sound insulation here is not bad, and you shouldn't be able to hear the sound downstairs in the room." ”

This Jiang Gu didn't pay attention, but when he was at home, he didn't seem to hear much downstairs, and seeing that Si Heng seemed to be busy with work, Jiang Gu said: "You are busy, I'll take a bath." ”

He wasn't a sweaty person himself, but the temperature in Pingjing City was so high that even at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, the heat from under the ground was still uncomfortable.

The body was sticky and uncomfortable, Jiang Gu just wanted to take a shower quickly and change into dry clothes.

The sound insulation at home is also good, the second bedroom has its own bathroom, but the door of the second bedroom is not closed, so Si Heng sits in the living room, and can faintly hear the sound of water in the shower head in the bathroom of the second bedroom falling on the ground.

The document that was still readable just now suddenly can't read a word.

He tried very hard to restrain himself, but his mind could not be controlled by reason, and what he thought in his heart, what he saw with his eyes, and what he heard with his ears, these organs seemed to have their own thoughts, and they did not obey the instructions in his head at all.

It wasn't until the sound of water in the bathroom stopped that Si Heng took back control of his body from his various organs.

The refrigeration effect of the central air conditioner at home is not very good, so hot.
