After eating the dumplings that day, the dean left the two behind again, took a few pictures with the children in the whole hospital, and said that they would wash them out and send them to them after the new year. Ye Ji'an did not refuse, but Liang Xiao saw that he left the company's address, and even only specific to the front desk. The two did not participate in the afternoon party. Liang Xiao carefully stepped on the accelerator on the open loop again, and drove at the nearest Walmart at a high speed.
Ye Ji'an still leaned against the car window as usual, spread out his fingers to feel the warm air from the air conditioner, and smiled and looked at Liang Xiao in the rearview mirror, "Hungry or not."
"A little bit." Liang Xiao didn't say anything this time.
"I see you eat five dumplings at most."
"Three," Liang Xiao reversed the car into the garage, "I really can't do celery."
"I know, celery, coriander, freshwater prawns, and all kinds of mushrooms, you have been reluctant to move since you were a child. Mother Hu told me," Ye Ji'an got out of the car and closed the door, looking over the roof, "Do you like it? She also made a list of the dishes and sent it to me."
Liang Xiao pressed the car key, and the feeling in his heart was really weird, which can probably be summed up as happy and embarrassed. "Did you add WeChat?" he asked.
Ye Ji'an approached him with a mysterious face, and walked slowly into the mall, "How about green peppers?"
Liang Xiao put his hand in his pocket, "All kinds of peppers are fine."
Ye Ji'an smiled, "Then wrap it with green pepper and minced meat. It sounds like a dark dish, but it's actually very delicious. I used to make it every year in Nanjing."
Liang Xiao nodded and grabbed Ye Ji'an's hand in his pocket.
The procurement process is very fast, at least at the beginning. Ye Ji'an is a shrewd eye in the fresh food area. At first glance, he is a master who often squeezes time to buy vegetables. Even if the supermarket is bustling like a market on the 30th day of the new year, he can always Quickly find what you want to buy, and quickly choose and weigh the price, all have to squeeze back from the old men and the old ladies, and put the things in the shopping cart like loot.
Liang Xiao was guarding his cart, seeing Ye Ji'an going back and forth, not just buying green peppers. He is very particular about what he buys. He doesn't want ready-made meat stuffing. He has to choose fresh meat and let the stall owner stir it immediately. He also buys ribs and stick bones, as well as beef brisket and lamb loin, two black pork belly and black pig front tip. Argentine red shrimp and Dalian yellow croaker, all kinds of vegetables are even richer. There are several kinds of Liang Xiao who have eaten too much Western food, and he can't name them.
"Senior, are you going to cook every day?" Liang Xiao asked.
"Of course, I like to cook. Those who are celebrating the new year don't have to wait in line outside, and it's healthier than ordering takeout." Ye Ji'an stopped by a freezer again, pulled Liang Xiao's clothes, and put two boxes of cod and a box of prawns. Xiaoshan in the shopping cart, "The shopping card issued by the company has 5,000 yuan, and it has not been used up yet."
"I don't have it, the position is too low." Liang Xiao said aggrievedly, "I only have the card of Starbucks and Xidan Book City."
"You don't need one, right!" Ye Ji'an smiled and pulled his pitiful face. After picking it in the freezer and fresh vegetables for too long, his whole hand was cold, so Liang Xiao lightly buckled it On the face, rub the pulp of the finger with the skin under the eyelid.
Ye Ji'an blushed, even after the flour he hadn't wiped off in the morning, the redness was visible to the naked eye. The blood circulation on his face has indeed fluctuated a lot recently. He lightly pressed Liang Xiao's eye socket, "...Is it easy to squeeze my hand?"
Liang Xiao looked at him intently, "It's very cold."
Ye Ji'an couldn't stand this fiery staring at each other, and his eyes fell on his carefully selected lo-mei, "I have to continue shopping."
"Well, it's warm now." Liang Xiao patted the back of his hand with satisfaction, and put his right hand on the left part of the cart armrest. The original intention was to let Ye Ji'an and himself push each other, but it took a few steps. , Ye Ji'an pushed the bag with his left hand, while the right hand moved to the back of Liang Xiao's hand and covered it firmly.
He still lowered his head, "I have to warm up for a while."
Liang Xiao couldn't see the expression on his face when he said this, he could only see the corners of his mouth and the drooping eyelashes. God knew how much he wanted to kiss him immediately.
What surprised Liang Xiao was that when he passed by the pasta area, Ye Ji'an took noodles instead of dumpling skins, "I'll cook you a bowl of padding first when I go back. Let's make at least six dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner, and it will take seven or eight at the earliest. Eat it," he said.
Liang Xiao said that he wanted to eat two bowls first, and then picked up a bag of dumpling wrappers and put them in the car. He felt that Ye Ji'an had forgotten, but he saw Ye Ji'an put the bag back again, "It's delicious to roll the skin with noodles."
"It's all the same."
"Hey, I said Young Master Liang, you used to look like an old gluttonous eater, how can you make do with it now? It won't take long to get rid of the skin," Ye Ji'an frowned at him, paused for two seconds, then touched the corner of his mouth and lowered his head , "You can't be treated like other people's children."
Liang Xiao was stunned.
"Senior, is there anything else to buy?" he asked.
"No, I still have more disinfectant and shampoo, as well as body wash and laundry detergent. I have a lot of paper on Double Eleven, just take it from my house." Ye Ji'an counted carefully.
Liang Xiao directly led people to the sex toys area, walking quickly, with a recklessness that was rarely seen in him. This place is close to the cashier, the two of them are facing the shelves, and there are many people walking around behind them. Liang Xiao quietly pays attention to Ye Ji'an's reaction while scanning the two rows of lubricants.
There are not many brands, and it really doesn't have the kind he likes to use. Between water-based and silicon-based, Liang Xiao chose the colorless and odorless one in the former, and after a careful look, it did not contain N-9, an antiseptic and disinfectant that destroys intestinal flora, so he put it on the into the basket. Although it is easy to volatilize during the process, it is troublesome to add it frequently to avoid drying, but the water-based lubricant is the least irritating and best to clean among similar items, so Liang Xiao is willing to use it on Ye Ji'an.
As for condoms, Liang Xiao is more casual, he just cares about the size, and if he loses it in the shopping cart, he will have to queue up to check out.
Ye Ji'an pulled him, and woke up from the twist of being stuck in the same place, her face was even redder than before, and her lips were also rosy, "You only buy one box."
Liang Xiao smiled and said, "There are ten pieces in this box."
Ye Ji'an glared at him, and suddenly picked up five boxes of Okamoto 001, still in red packaging, and six boxes of 003 platinum, and threw them in together. One by one, they all lay obediently on lamb chops and big on rainbow trout. This adds up to 68 pieces, including the box just now, totaling 78 pieces. Liang Xiao was stunned.
He himself doesn't think there is any problem, but after buying so many, he has doubts, doesn't Ye Ji'an plan to go back to work in five days
"The money in the card can't be spent, and it will be voided in the spring."
Ye Ji'an muttered, turned her back and pushed the cart in line.
Liang Xiao was a little more awake, Ye Ji'an was someone who could hoard toilet paper, and it was normal to hoard condoms. How long will it take? In spring, or summer? They will always be together. This is simply thought-provoking. Leaning behind Ye Ji'an with his pockets in his pocket, Liang Xiao stared at the black hair behind his head without blinking. The skin on the back of the neck is blocked by the high collar, what will the wool look like? Is it reddish and covered with layers of fine sweat
Although there was the noise of the crowd and Andy Lau's Gong Xi Fa Cai, Liang Xiao could still specifically recall the tender touch of the skin and the feeling of biting it.
I have to say that Ye Ji'an is really sensitive to numbers. There are more than 2,600 yuan left in the card, and the final bill is in the early 2500s. It took a while to get this car into the trunk, and by the time they got back to the traffic light outside the community, it was almost four o'clock. There is a stand selling fireworks and firecrackers outside the gate, Liang Xiao stopped by the side, "What do you want to put on the table?"
"Don't let it go," Ye Ji'an thought for a while and said, "I don't have time, I have to go back and cook quickly."
What he said was really fast. Before 4:30, a pot of hot seafood noodles was cooked. The soup was fresh and thick. In addition to half a lobster and squid whiskers, there was also sauteed garlic. With the boiled baby cabbage, he filled out two bowls, sat at the dining table and watched Liang Xiao eat for a while, and then went back to the kitchen to work on his own. When Liang Xiao came to the kitchen with an empty bowl, the white flour preparation had already been cut, and the work of rolling the skin was left to him, while Ye Ji'an himself was smearing a pink and white pork knuckle with marinade, "Try it tonight. German crispy roasted pork knuckle with roasted broccoli and kale under it," he rubs his eyes with the back of his hand, "and drinks it with some beer."
Liang Xiao helped him tie the apron straps hanging behind him, "I will take a picture and send it to the circle of friends."
Ye Ji'an turned his face and smiled at him, "There is nothing in your circle of friends."
Liang Xiao hugged the waist and hugged it hard, "It will be there in the future."
Ye Ji'an gave him a generous kiss and said, "Hurry up and roll out the dumpling skins."
After a morning of practice, Liang Xiao's skin rolling skills are not very good, but they have made rapid progress. When he rolled out all the more than 50 dough skins and put them on the flour, Ye Ji'an had just cut all kinds of vegetables and meat. , the oven is preheated, but the pork knuckle has not been put in. Liang Xiao stayed in the kitchen to help for a while, but all he could do was stir the eggs and peel the garlic, and he was beaten by Ye Ji'an to rest soon.
After returning all the purchased items such as condoms and making a few more phone calls, Liang Xiao used tweezers to hold the Periplaneta cockroach to add food to Max, absently pondering the scene in the kitchen, he had a hunch that the pig Elbow is definitely not the protagonist tonight.
Sure enough, at 7:40 that night, a while before the Spring Festival Gala started, Ye Ji'an prepared a table of dishes, a total of six dishes and one soup, black pepper glaze sauce, roast pork knuckle, boiled prawns, crispy egg rolls, and lemon fried cod. , garlic snow peas, stir-fried tower vegetables, as well as a pot of lotus root stewed bones, two and a half of unbreakable dumplings.
"You don't need to finish it, don't hold on," he bit off the beer cap and poured it on himself and Liang Xiao, "Just want to celebrate."
Liang Xiao put down the phone that took pictures, raised his hand to clink glasses with him, "If you eat it, you will eat it, because it's too fragrant."
Ye Ji'an was used to his sweet mouth, propped up his chin, and blinked, "Then which one are you going to try first?"
Liang Xiao put his chopsticks on the roast pork knuckle that bothered Ye Ji'an the most, and there was a crackling sound in his mouth. He looked at him, "Better than what I had in the restaurant."
Ye Ji'an took another sip of wine, "You can fool me."
Liang Xiao looked innocent, "Which one are you going to try first?"
"Let me see if the dumplings are salty," Ye Ji'an said, picking up a dumpling without dipping it in vinegar, and putting it in his mouth, "It's okay, it's better than I thought."
But his brows wrinkled again, "The seasoning is still a bit heavy. It's been too long since I wrapped it. I used to cook some quick-frozen ones by myself."
The TV a few meters away suddenly started making noise. It was the jubilant opening music of the Spring Festival Gala. Liang Xiao also went to taste the dumplings, and couldn't help but exclaimed in his heart. If the celery in the morning caused him to have a psychological shadow on the dumplings, then this mouthful would be enough. Removed all shadows.
"Senior, were you in charge of making dumplings when you were in Nanjing?" he asked softly.
"Almost, my mother makes the stuffing, and I roll the skin and wrap it with her," Ye Ji'an began to peel the shrimp, peeling it quickly and neatly, and putting it in Liang Xiao's bowl, he laughed, "My dad and my brother... Not anyone who can go into the kitchen."
"Then are they still spending the New Year together now?" Liang Xiao still looked at him intently, with that kind of gaze, showing concern without hesitation. Although he was asking about other people's affairs, it still made people feel that the temperature was too high.
So Ye Ji'an lowered his head and said, "It should be. My brother works in Shanghai. He took his wife and children back to see his parents during the Chinese New Year. It would only take a while to take the high-speed train. Now that the New Year's Eve dinner is out, he will give me a call. "
The fourth shrimp fell into the bowl, and Liang Xiao held the hand that was parked on the edge of the bowl and had not had time to retract it, "If we talk about them making the seniors unhappy, we won't talk about it in the future."
Ye Ji'an's wrists froze obviously, and his eyes were still avoiding, "No. Why are you unhappy."
"Yeah." Liang Xiao didn't answer, just nodded and let go of his hand. He also started to peel the shrimp and put it in Ye Ji'an's bowl.
Ye Ji'an seemed a little helpless. He took out a tissue and wiped his hands. He picked up the knife and fork to eat the cod while it was hot. The phone rang again and put it on the table. The name on the screen stood out: Ye Zhihong.
Really said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.
"Sorry," Ye Ji'an said subconsciously, "it's my brother."
Liang Xiao didn't understand what to be sorry for, he put down his chopsticks, "Do you want me to avoid it?"
"No, don't," Ye Ji'an was panicked, he stood up, grabbed the phone and pinned it to the table, looking at Liang Xiao, the light inside was flickering, "…Can you let me sit next to you? Think, rely on you."
