This man is really caring.
Huo Zheng couldn't help thinking.
It's not that no one has cooked for Huo Zheng before, but those things are really hard to eat. After all, for those people, cooking with their own hands is just a fun hobby. But He Yunzhou is different from those people. Every dish he eats has a feeling of peace of mind.
It's very pure and warm, just like the feeling He Yunzhou gives people.
Huo Zheng was able to clearly appreciate the care that this clumsy and ordinary young man had for him in these delicately cooked delicious dishes.
Thinking of this, Huo Zheng couldn't help raising his head, and met He Yunzhou's gaze.
The concern in the other party's eyes that was so intense that it seemed to be able to turn into reality made Huo Zheng stunned for a moment.
How should I describe Huo Zheng's mood at that moment? He couldn't remember how long it was the last time he was stared at by such clean and pure eyes.
It was as if the whole person's heart was firmly wrapped in warm water. He clearly knew that he shouldn't have any real feelings for such a man whom he met for the first time, but another part of his soul still disobediently let go under that gaze. Take some precautions.
With a movement in his hand, Huo Zheng's soup spoon hit the side of the bowl, making a small sound.
Huo Zheng suddenly came back to his senses, forcing the turmoil in his mind back to the bottom of his rationality. He pretended not to notice He Yunzhou's affectionate eyes, lowered his eyes as if nothing had happened, and took a sip of the soup lightly.
Uh, that's strange... Huo Zheng murmured a puzzled voice in his heart.
Is it an illusion? This soup seems to be slightly sweeter than before.
On the other side of the dining table, He Yunzhou has been closely observing Huo Zheng's performance.
After discovering that the latter liked all the food he had prepared, he finally let go of the last big stone in his heart.
Speaking of which, the dinner between him and Huo Zheng should have been embarrassing.
The two had no intersection before, and they didn't expect that it was just a one-night effort, but it turned into a relationship of having dinner together.
But the wonderful thing is also here, He Yunzhou and Huo Zheng sat together for dinner in such a peaceful way, there was very little conversation between the two, but the atmosphere was surprisingly good.
Is it because of Huo Zheng's inexplicable aura that resembles Guaji so frighteningly
He Yunzhou found that when he stayed with Huo Zheng, the surrounding atmosphere always looked so natural and relaxed, as if he and Huo Zheng had been very good friends from the very beginning.
During the whole dinner, the only thing that worried He Yunzhou was the hastily prepared dishes.
He is confident in his cooking skills, but the ingredients of those dishes...
He Yunzhou was really embarrassed to tell Huo Zheng that a large part of these dishes that looked pretty good were leftovers from cat rice, as well as various bits and pieces of meat that had been stored in his refrigerator before ( Most of them are made by He Yunzhou for cat snacks).
Apart from the grilled beef bone marrow bibimbap and poached eggs with fried chicken skin and asparagus, what Huo Zheng was served next was a rather bluffing modified version of liver paste soup.
Those delicate and delicious liver paste, as light as a mousse cake, are actually made of chicken liver, duck liver and some lamb liver that were originally intended for cats. Lamb liver is not only a material that cats like to eat, but if it is cooked properly, lamb liver will have a subtle cream-like flavor, which is unique in soup.
There are also those chicken bones that He Yunzhou picked off when he made cat rice today, and the bits and pieces of pork and beef cut from large pieces of meat... would be discarded without hesitation in normal times, but because of these dishes tonight , Those leftovers have other room for development.
The chicken bones and minced meat are roasted in the oven until they squeak, and then a large amount of vegetables such as celery and onions are poured in. After stewing and filtering, it becomes the delicious clear soup that makes Huo Zheng sink his head and drink non-stop.
There are also those chicken breasts that were originally intended to be used for pumpkin roast chicken, mixed with the fat cut from the pork that is the raw material of cat rice in order to control the weight of pumpkin, and chopped with a kitchen knife into a rough, less grainy meat puree. Then mixed with various spices, rolled into the cabbage leaves that were too late to eat before. Put a piece of butter, fry it in a frying pan, pour in some broth and simmer, serve it on the table, then sprinkle with snow-white mozzarella cheese and golden cheddar cheese, cut it with a knife and it will be the gravy Rich, creamy cabbage meatballs.
Even the homemade yogurt, still lingering in the fridge, was originally meant for the pumpkin.
He Yunzhou himself has never cared about the leftovers of cat meal materials—many ordinary people have a different view that the meat prepared for cats sometimes needs to be of better quality and more expensive than human food. But Huo Zheng gave people the impression that he was too noble and too melon-like, which made He Yunzhou feel inexplicably guilty when he thought of the dinner ingredients.
Um, yes, when Guaji was still alive, he was always picky about food. We only eat the best, freshest, and most expensive part of all the food. If it is still by He Yunzhou's side and finds that his excrement shoveler dares to use leftovers to fool people, I am afraid he will raise his paw without hesitation. Lifted the rice bowl.
…
"Is it still to your liking?"
In fact, He Yunzhou was apprehensive before Huo Zheng saw the clues of this dinner, but as the meal continued, seeing Huo Zheng slurping his head into the meal, and enjoying the meal, his mood relaxed uncontrollably.
He could see that Huo Zheng's happiness when eating was not that kind of hypocritical politeness - this man really liked eating the home-cooked dishes he made.
Moreover, the way he eats actually has a certain resemblance to Guaji...
He Yunzhou gritted his teeth secretly, forcing himself not to look at Huo Zheng and think about Guaji, but the appearance of Guaji when he was eating still kept lingering in He Yunzhou's mind.
Huo Zheng was very quiet when eating, and his posture was very elegant.
Yes, melon is also a quiet and elegant cat when eating, it is always very attentive and puts all the attention on its food, but no matter how much it likes to eat, it will not be like a pumpkin That way, he would make too many noises while eating without any scruples, and he would not stain his beautiful silver-gray long hair...
When He Yunzhou realized it, he realized that he was unknowingly looking at Huo Zheng again, and the latter seemed to be aware of this too. He and He Yunzhou looked at each other for a moment, and then thoughtfully moved away as if nothing had happened. looked away.
The scene of deja vu made He Yunzhou involuntarily feel a little pain in his heart.
Even this small movement... the small movements of forcing their eyes away when they meet each other are so similar.
He Yunzhou also knows that it is not good to compare a person with his pet like this in his heart, but if people's emotions are really so easy to control, I am afraid there will be no such idiom as "can't help it".
After finishing the meal, Huo Zheng seemed to have just remembered, and whispered annoyedly: "Ah, really... Your cooking is so delicious, I even forgot to drink the wine I brought this time."
He Yunzhou smiled softly, and said without thinking too much: "It's okay, you can drink it next time you eat."
After saying this, He Yunzhou was still busy clearing the dining table, but Huo Zheng was sitting in his seat at a loss - he really couldn't figure out why he was so happy all of a sudden.
