"Xiaoqi, you should have seen me when I was drunk... Is it really so scary?"
After Ling Changfeng left, Xu Xinghe slumped on the sofa in the small living room with a 45-degree view of the sky and the earth, stroking the cat.
While sighing and lamenting that alcohol is harmful to people, at the same time, he was puzzled, how could he change so much after being drunk.
Ms. Xiaoqi lay comfortably in his arms, turned her belly out, and let Xu Xinghe gently scratch its chin and stroke its snow-white and soft fur.
The kitten narrowed its eyes and let out a satisfied "purr purr".
"Could it be that these people ganged up to frame me? Maybe I'm quiet when I'm drunk..." Xu Xinghe tried to evade this question in a way of self-deception.
As soon as the words were finished, Xiao Qi suddenly turned over and jumped out of his arms, and ran towards the door in a hurry.
The fluffy little paws scratched the door, and turned to look at him again.
Xu Xinghe looked at the surveillance camera at the door, but there was no one there.
Looking at Xiaoqi's flashing blue eyes, and her big tail swinging back and forth, Xu Xinghe suddenly realized something, and refused with a black face: "No! Don't go."
"Meow..." When Xiao Qi heard this, the fluffy body immediately shortened by half, and lowered its tail in frustration.
Then ran to his feet and rubbed back and forth.
Xu Xinghe: "..."
He looked down at Xiao Qi who was looking at him pitifully, as if he was an evil mother-in-law who broke up the young lovers.
"It's okay, don't rub it, you go." Xu Xinghe sighed, "Open the door."
The door of the room moved in response, and just as it opened a crack, Xiao Qi happily slipped out.
Sure enough, Aaron was waiting at the door.
Unlike Xiaoqi, who sleeps or sleeps in his family, and often turns his body upside down, Aaron is a cat who can stand up, sit down, and pays great attention to his personal image.
At this moment, it was guarding the door in an orderly manner. Seeing that the door was open, it did not come in. Instead, it turned its gaze to Xu Xinghe, and opened its mouth to meow at him.
Xu Xinghe: "..."
He already had a headache seeing Xiao Qi jumping out, but when he saw Aaron's blue and gold cat eyes and thought of its owner, his head hurt even more!
Do you have a natural conflict with creatures with different pupils?
Xiaoqi circled around Aaron happily, the two cats touched their noses, and disappeared from Xu Xinghe's sight after a while, not knowing which lawn to play on.
Xu Xinghe: "..."
It's really a big girl who doesn't want to stay.
After Xiaoqi left, Xu Xinghe was the only one left in the big room.
He was bored watching TV for a while, but still felt that the weekend should not be wasted, so he got up from the sofa and walked to the kitchen on the first floor.
Since he said two days ago that he wanted to eat something like sixty-year-old scallops, the buyer sent a new batch of fresh seafood today.
Xu Xinghe looked at the various seafood in the basket and felt that it should not be wasted.
He asked York to find out two large iron plates, and evenly placed abalone, meat crab, scallops, scallops, shrimp, squid, razor clams, sixty-year-old carapace, etc., and planned to fry a hodgepodge for a while, one with garlic flavor and the other with spicy flavor .
It is a huge project from cleaning all kinds of seafood to putting them into the wok. Only York is not enough. He called Langdon again, and himself supervised the work.
"Langdon, help me cut the onion, ginger, garlic, pepper, pepper, and millet peppers and put them aside for later use."
"York, shellfish are prone to sand, so you need to wash them carefully."
"You can help me adjust the ingredients later."
"..." York sat on a small bench and asked while washing, "Then what do you do, old man?"
Xu Xinghe ate the melon seeds and replied: "The chef is always the last one, and I'm in charge of cooking."
Over the past few days, York has become more and more proficient in cooking under his training. Xu Xinghe commented on this: "You learn from me, if you don't work in the Marshal's Mansion in the future, you can still be a cook .”
York: "... I thank you."
When their preparations were almost done, Xu Xinghe finally got up, rolled up his sleeves and started working.
Add green onion, ginger and garlic to the oil pan and sauté until fragrant, then add all kinds of peppers, spices, and sesame seasonings, and stir-fry with seafood, then pour in the sauce blended with oil, soy sauce, sugar, monosodium glutamate, etc., and finally Add beer and cooking wine and simmer for 15 minutes.
A pot of spicy seafood platter is ready.
Next, he fried a garlic-flavored platter, and there were still some ingredients left, some of which were made into tomato-flavored seafood baked rice, and some of which were ready to be fed directly to Xiaoqi.
The whole process took more than three hours.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, everything was finally done.
But two large pots of seafood, even with two helpers, three people can't finish it.
Xu Xinghe thought for a while, and called He Han: "You take these on the table and share them with everyone."
He Han was stunned: "You are..."
"It's too much, it's a waste if you can't finish it." Xu Xinghe waved his hand, "Remember to eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
Although He Han knew that Xu Xinghe had a soft-spoken and soft-hearted nature, he never thought that, as another owner of the Marshal's Mansion, he would share food with them after cooking himself.
After saying a few polite words, He Han finally left with a bowl full of seafood.
On the way to distribute the food, he quietly picked out a piece of scallop meat from the basin, and quickly put it in his mouth—
Delicious.
Xu Xinghe finished sharing the fruits of his labor contentedly, washed his hands, and went back to the house with Xiao Qi's share of seafood.
A group of orderlies gathered at a small table in the side hall on the first floor, feasting on a bowl of seafood, their faces flushed.
"This is too fucking delicious!"
"Save some for me! Save some for me!"
"Seeing how promising you are, what are you going to grab?"
"Fuck! You are promising, why do you take three? Have some face!"
"Mr. Xu is really nice. He cooks delicious food and has a good personality. No wonder our Marshal likes it."
Chef Xu who happened to pass by: "..."
Although, I don't really want this kind of praise.
As soon as Ling Changfeng stepped into the gate of the commander-in-chief's mansion, he knew what delicious food his little spouse was cooking.
The air is full of fresh fragrance, and the spicy and garlic flavors can stimulate people's appetite.
Although Marshal Ling didn't have much appetite at first, but thinking that Xu Xinghe did it, he decided to save face and have dinner with his little spouse.
"Don't grab, don't grab, everyone has a share."
A familiar voice came from the side hall, Ling Changfeng turned his head and saw a group of burly orderlies gathered there, completely blocking Xu Xinghe, only the voice came from behind the human wall.
Ling Changfeng paused and walked over.
"What are you doing?"
A deep voice sounded from behind, and the next moment, time seemed to be paused.
Those who were shouting loudly a second ago, those with half a shrimp hanging from their mouths, those who were still peeling their shells... all stopped moving.
Xu Xinghe poked his head out from behind the stiff figures of the crowd: "Why did you come back so early?"
Ling Changfeng's gaze swept across the crowd, and finally settled on Xu Xinghe: "I said I'd be back before dinner... did you make something to eat?"
"Yes, seafood platter, spicy and garlic flavors, and baked seafood rice, they all say it's delicious." Mentioning his highly praised cooking skills, Xu Xinghe's tone was a little smug, as if Forget about the embarrassing things of the morning.
"Oh." Ling Changfeng's eyes swept across the orderlies behind him in a neutral manner.
Everyone suddenly felt pressured and shivered.
Oh my god, the marshal's eyes are so scary!
Fortunately, Ling Changfeng quickly looked away, and then asked Xu Xinghe casually: "What about me?"
Xu Xinghe was stunned: "Huh??"
Ling Changfeng said: "Don't everyone have a share?"
Xu Xinghe looked at the seafood bowl on the table that had just been divided up by everyone, and remembered that this was the last bit of seafood, so he turned to look at Ling Changfeng: "How about this—do you want spicy or garlic?"
Ling Changfeng: "It's fine."
Xu Xinghe tried his best to sound sincere: "I'll go get you these two flavors of nutritional supplements."
Ling Changfeng: "..."
He thought that Xu Xinghe might still be angry after waking up in the morning, so Yitong turned to the bowl in his hand and asked, "What is this?"
"..." Xu Xinghe bit the bullet and replied: "Xiao Qi's dinner. However, salmon of this quality can be eaten raw, how about I share some with you?"
