It is said that if there are three women and one drama, there will only be one table of wine for three men. If you can add some music and fighting scenes, it will definitely be more lively.
The house is very large. Zhou Ping's sister bought it when she was studying in Shanghai and has kept it here ever since. When Zhou Ping left home, he brought a car and the key to the house. Now the car has been repaired and the house has been cleaned.
Li Muye did not inquire about the family background of the two brothers in detail. He only knew that Zhou Ping's family was in business, while Lin Xiangyu's parents were both civil servants. His father was a section chief, and his mother was a section chief. Let alone the capital city, they were placed at the level of a provincial capital. It can't be considered high either. The economic conditions are obviously not as good as Zhou Ping's. But judging from the tone of the conversation between the two, Lin Xiangyu was more willful and often used dirty words. Zhou Ping, on the other hand, is more like an older brother who protects him and rarely uses any curse words in his words. Seems more tolerant.
He didn't say goodbye formally to Meng Fanbing, but just said on the phone, I will watch over these two brothers for you and promise not to cause trouble to you again. Meng Fanbing had no reason to be entangled. In fact, her interest in Li Muye was just a matter of emotion. If it really was a lifelong choice, she would still look down on this loser that Andre called him. At least at this age, she is still confident that she can find a better Xiaokai.
There are three young men, the oldest Li Muye is only twenty-six years old after the Chinese New Year. Zhou Ping twenty-three, Lin Xiangyu is the same age but a few months younger than him. After Li Muye moved in, he naturally became the eldest brother. Since he is the eldest brother, of course he doesn't have to do any trivial housework. Although Lin Xiangyu's wallet is depleted and his food and accommodation are not his own, he is very willful. In the end, the honest Zhou Ping suffered a lot. He was so exhausted at the club that he had to take care of all the housework when he got home.
Lin Xiangyu lived a life of confusion. He went to sing on a cruise ship at night and didn't go home until late at night every day. I basically sleep in the morning and practice piano and write songs after lunch. This guy's piano playing is indeed pretty good, but his singing voice is really unflattering. At this time, Brother Xiaoye had to avoid going out.
Of course, the person who seems to have the most leisure time among the three is Li Muye. After returning to China, Li Muye has been in a state of semi-seclusion, but now he is becoming more and more accustomed to this slow-paced life. There are Diana and Lao Chu in Moscow, Hongye Group has brother and sister Wang Hongjun, Petrovich leads the Tire Gang brothers to sit in Yakutia, and Lao Cui serves as the general liaison officer to contact all parties, usually there is nothing particularly important. He will not disturb Li Muye's purity.
After moving out from Meng Fanbing's place, Li Muye started counting the days until Zhang Na would come back in December to attend the annual meeting of the new domestic company of Leidia Jewelry Group. It's October now, two months away from that day. During these days, Li Muye not only had no time to take care of business matters, but he also had no time to even meet other women.
Bai Xue has not contacted her since she was embarrassed by Li Muye the last time they met. If she didn't take the initiative, Li Muye would naturally be happy to be left alone.
Li Muye agreed in principle to the fact that He Kunzhen wanted to cooperate, but he didn't want to be too proactive. He Kunzhen is basically a chess piece in Chen Miao's hands. Working with him is almost the same as working with Chen Miao. Bai Xue is the facilitator of this matter, and dealing with Li Muye is her main job. Li Muye knew this very well, so he was even less anxious. If you want to take advantage of me, you are not willing to pay the price and take the initiative. How can anything be so cheap in this world
Men and women are sometimes no different from business rivals, and it is always difficult for the one who takes the initiative to take the initiative. Although Sister Bai is very charming and her prowess is particularly good, Brother Xiaoye is not a light-saving lamp either. This thing is about patience.
Wang Hongye has been busy with company affairs. Hongye Investment officially changed its name to Hongye Group. After moving its headquarters to Wenzhou, it can be said that everything is waiting for improvement.
The new headquarters office building was provided by Longda Group with a thirty-year lease. Excluding the portion that Longda Group itself had to bear, the Wang brothers and sisters shouldered 60% of it. After moving here from the provincial capital, many staff members submitted their resignations because they could not accept the conditions of working in other places, so many people had to be recruited locally. Brother and sister Wang Hongjun were busy almost without touching the ground. Sister Hongye naturally doesn't have much time to contact Brother Xiaoye to "clear" her lonely mood.
Leisure time is the cradle of cultivating hobbies.
Li Muye has recently become obsessed with cooking.
There is a Cantonese restaurant on the commercial street outside the community. It hired a first-class chef with truly extraordinary cooking skills. Li Muye took Zhou Ping and Lin Xiangyu to eat once, and then he regarded this Cantonese restaurant as his own chef and visited it almost every day.
Cantonese cuisine pays attention to the word "fresh", with a tender and smooth texture, and tries to maintain the natural taste of the ingredients themselves. The taste is light, and its flavor characteristics can be summarized in six words: "fresh, tender, cunning and fragrant". There are many kinds of condiments, ranging from sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty and fresh. But one boat uses a small amount of ginger, green onions and garlic as "materials". Spicy condiments such as chili are rarely used, and it is not overly salty or sweet.
In order to pursue the original and fresh taste of raw materials, such as lively seafood and game, they must be slaughtered and cooked immediately to try to be as authentic as possible.
Li Muye's temperament is actually a bit lazy, so this pursuit of lightness, freshness, and original taste is very suitable for his taste.
There are many ways to enjoy life, and food derived from the first desire in life must be at the top of the list. I have eaten at Cantonese restaurants so many times that I want to learn how to cook it myself when I have nothing to do. Just for this hobby, I even went to the kitchen of a Cantonese restaurant to learn from his master. Of course the chef refused to take her in, so Li Muye didn't waste any time arguing with him and directly gave him a price he couldn't refuse for tuition.
So he sneaked into someone else's kitchen.
Li Muye has extraordinary spirituality and strong resilience. He is not interested in other jobs in the kitchen and only learns cooking from the master chef. I have agreed with others for a month, and I will learn as much as I can. Knife, material selection, ingredients, methods, procedures, heat, all the skills in the kitchen are not expected to be perfect, but practice makes perfect. If you want to become perfect, you have to take your time later.
My favorite is plain-cut chicken. The method of making boiled chicken taught by Chef Te is to boil the water and stop the fire, then immerse the bare chicken in the boiling water until it is cooked. People who don’t understand will not dare to eat it if they see blood on the bones. In fact, the skin and meat are fully cooked and the original flavor of the chicken is maintained. , only add ginger, salt and other ingredients when eating. According to the chef, "Qingping Chicken" is the best among white-cut chickens and is known as "the best chicken in Guangzhou". It is only soaked in white brine without adding any ingredients, but its skin is smooth and the meat is white and fragrant.
Zhou Ping's mouth is relatively easy to eat, and basically everything he can eat is delicious. Lin Xiangyu, on the other hand, has a lot to hold in his mouth. No matter what dish comes into his mouth, he can comment on it. He is not particular about taste. No matter which cuisine it is, as long as it is cooked authentically, he will praise it. The taste is slightly off, but this kid can eat it right away.
This is a bit different from the taste of children from department-level families. After a little time, we became more familiar with each other and talked freely. Li Muye inquired out of curiosity and found out that Lin Xiangyu's father was the section chief of the purchasing department of the State Guesthouse. The dog urine moss is inconspicuous, but the golden palace is on display. His father ate everything the leader didn't eat. Zhou Ping and his family are in the high-end food business, and they have bases for breeding rare seafood in Fujian and Luda.
In November in this famous maritime city, the weather is getting colder, and people have put on long sleeves and coats.
Li Muye wore a wrinkled long-sleeved shirt, half-high trousers that were not in keeping with the season, pulled on a pair of slippers, and walked out of the market carrying a bag. Her hair, which had not been taken care of for many days, was a bit messy, and she looked a little decadent.
Reading, learning to cook, being unkempt, and waiting silently, the days are hidden in the city.
When I was about to enter the community, I heard the sound of a car engine approaching behind me. I turned around and saw the silver-gray BMW driven by Meng Fanbing. What was a little surprising was that there was another person traveling with her, and it was He Xiaoqi.
"Li Muye." Meng Fanbing put down the car window and stuck his head out and called.
Li Muye stopped, stood quietly on the sidewalk, smiled at her, and said, "Long time no see, are you okay?"
Meng Fanbing said: "Do you still care whether I am okay or not?"
Li Muye lowered his head and said, "It depends on what's wrong."
Meng Fanbing said: "I know that in order to protect me, you would rather be a mother to those two bastards than live with me. Do you think I can get better?"
"This matter is not as complicated and noble as you think." Li Muye flatly rejected her self-presumption and said, "I just like cooking."
"Do you just want to continue to be decadent like this?" Meng Fanbing sounded like an insider: "I know that your business in Russia failed and you were hit hard, but there is no guarantee of profit in business. ?You can't exile yourself just because of a blow, right?" She was a bit resentful: "Although I can't accept your poverty and even betrayed you and my feelings, in my heart, you Li Muye are still the wind. A dignified man who cannot be broken down or bent under the weight of rain or snow." "Come on, stop putting your hat on me." Li Muye smiled and said, "I am just an idler with no ambitions, reading books and cooking. Life is pretty good for me, and the two brothers don’t confiscate my rent, so I’m still doing well.”
He Xiaoqi got out of the car and said rudely to Meng Fanbing: "Is this trash the only thing that worries you?"
Meng Fanbing frowned slightly: "Don't say that to him."
He Xiaoqi ignored it and came to Li Muye. He looked him up and down and said disdainfully: "Men are not afraid of being hopeless, but they are afraid of being unambitious. I know you best, you look like a human model." He looks like a dog, but he actually looks like an embroidered pillow. Last time I warned you to be careful about being thrown into the river to feed the crabs, it turned out that I still looked up to you. With your cowardice, it is not worth it for me to argue with you."
Li Muye's smile didn't change, his eyes were a bit evil, he looked at her and said, "Young lady, you should be more kind in your speech. I didn't carry your child down the well."
Oh, I'm going to kill you. He Xiaoqi shouted angrily: "Who do you think has a child?" If someone is not married yet, where will the child come from? "She actually picked up the bag in her hand and charged at Li Muye. Naturally, Li Muye would not care about her, but calmly dodged back.
Seeing that things were going to be bad, Meng Fanbing hurriedly got out of the car and stood between the two of them, trying to persuade them: "Oh, Xiaoqi, don't argue with an uneducated person like him. This person is like a stone in a pit." , smelly and tough. I have known him since elementary school. He has always been so unpleasant to listen to. You are the dignified eldest daughter of the He family. How can you chase a man and beat him up? There are many adults. For my sake, Forget it."
He Xiaoqi's angry face turned slightly, she gasped, stared at Li Muye, and said: "I don't know whether to live or die!" She turned to Meng Fanbing and said: "Today I will give sister Xiaobing some face, but I have to bear it for a long time, and then... It depends on how you treat me."
Why does this sound a little off
Li Muye looked at Meng Fanbing and asked with a smile, "What's going on?"
Meng Fanbing was a little embarrassed and waved his hand: "Don't ask, it has nothing to do with you anyway. In short, you should be more careful what you say in the future. This is Shanghai, not our hometown Coal City, and you are not the ruffian who once dominated two streets. My son, in this place, even a dragon has to be restrained when it fails."
Li Muye said: "You really think highly of me."
He Xiaoqi impatiently pulled Meng Fan Bing into the car and said, "Why bother talking to him? Look at how cowardly he looks, how can he be worthy of your disdain?"
The car was almost parked at the entrance of the community, when several more cars came up from behind. One of them, an Audi, had honked several times to remind them to give way. Meng Fanbing hurriedly got in the car and prepared to leave. At this time, the Audi car honked its horn several times in succession. He Xiaoqi was upset and yelled and cursed at the driver of the car with a local accent.
The other party was not a good person either, so he decisively got out of the car and retaliated. He Xiaoqi's uneasy stomach was all blamed on this strong man. This guy became anxious after being scolded, and suddenly ran towards He Xiaoqi with great strides. It seemed that he wanted to hit someone.
Meng Fanbing bravely rushed to He Xiaoqi to stop him. The man had not lost his mind and seemed not to want to make things worse, so he stopped. He just warned He Xiaoqi not to be too arrogant. It's not right to block the road, and you're still swearing, so it's no wonder this guy got pissed off. The other party had stopped his malicious behavior, but He Xiaoqi became really angry and refused to give up no matter how much Meng Fanbing tried to persuade him.
While the argument continued, a commercial vehicle drove quickly from behind the road, drove straight into the opposite lane, and quickly stopped on the spot. As soon as the car door opened, several big men like wolves and tigers rushed out from inside. Without saying a word, they rushed up and knocked the Audi driver to the ground.
It was so fierce that the guy driving the Audi was completely stunned and had no room to struggle. His face was covered in blood in an instant. Holding his head in his hands, he screamed in pain and begged for mercy. He Xiaoqi put her hands on her hips, scolding and instructing the group of beaters to continue beating.
As more and more people gathered to watch the excitement, the man's screams and wails became weaker and weaker.
Li Muye glanced at Meng Fanbing. She sat in the car expressionlessly, obviously wanting to stay out of the incident. For He Kunzhen's sake, he couldn't just watch her make things get out of hand. Finally sighed, walked to He Xiaoqi without noticing, took out a hairy crab from the bag, held He Xiaoqi's arm, and said lazily: "Everyone, please stop. If you don't stop, your eldest lady will feed the crabs." …”(End of this chapter)
