Chapter 42 Pretending to be a Couple
The winter melon soup needs to be stewed for several hours, and Ye Shuyi finished it at 6:30.
The soup is delicious and the meat is soft.
Chopped pepper fish head is a representative Hunan dish. The red chopped peppers almost cover the fish head. The hot and fragrant smell is fragrant, and the dish is fresh, spicy, and the meat is tender with few bones.
Chen Nanfeng came to the restaurant and ate directly. He was a little surprised when he saw the fish head covered with green and red peppers.
They don't really eat spicy food here. I thought Ye Shuyi couldn't cook spicy food.
"What is this..." Chen Nanfeng asked while looking at the fish head.
It smells nice, but will it be too spicy? Chen Nanfeng poured himself a full glass of water in advance.
"This is a classic Hunan dish, chopped pepper fish head. Try it!" Ye Shuyi was very satisfied with her masterpiece.
"Is it too spicy?" Chen Nanfeng worried.
"Don't worry, this pepper may look like a lot, but it's actually not very spicy. It's mainly fresh, spicy and mellow, with a mixture of sour and spicy, which stimulates the appetite and strengthens the spleen."
Chen Nanfeng became curious when he heard this.
Is it really so?
He peeled off the chili peppers, picked up a piece of meat still attached to the fish head, and put it in his mouth.
Chen Nanfeng felt the tenderness of the fish meat, which melted in his mouth. The hint of spiciness and umami stimulated his taste buds, making him feel refreshed.
"How is it?" Ye Shuyi asked.
Chen Nanfeng gulped down a glass of water.
His mouth was puffing and his face was red.
"Are you feeling the spiciness?" Ye Shuyi asked.
"Hmm, very spicy! But very fresh." Chen Nanfeng felt it was amazing, because he was indeed shocked by the spiciness, but he wanted to continue trying.
There is a saying that goes "not good at it but loves to play", which is probably true.
There is also a not-so-appropriate term called "conscious sinking", which is the same.
He drank the water and continued eating.
Then drink water again.
This feeling is very exciting and makes my tongue numb.
"What is this?" Chen Nanfeng asked, pointing to a green container.
It is supported by a white porcelain plate, and looks thick and full, with a layer of patterns carved on the edge with a knife, which is very exquisite.
"You don't recognize me?"
"I don't know, I've never seen it before. Is this a new variety of vegetable?" said Chen Nanfeng.
"This is called winter melon soup. The green base is made of winter melon." Ye Shuyi explained.
After hearing this, Chen Nanfeng became interested: "So winter melon can be used as a cooking container! I've only heard of watermelon bowls."
“Winter melon soup is an improvement on watermelon soup.”
"oh oh."
He filled a bowl with a rich broth, the flavors of all the ingredients were blended into the soup, which was clear and oil-free.
There is also soup residue, which is tender, soft and juicy, sweet and delicious, refreshing and not greasy.
"Okay!" No need to say more.
The salt-baked chicken is a must-try, tasty, tender, refreshing and juicy.
In short, today was another day when Chen Nanfeng almost ate too much.
"Mr. Chen, why don't I cook less next time? You always finish the plate, which is too much. Not eating enough or eating too much is not healthy." Ye Shuyi was genuinely worried.
"It's okay." Chen Nanfeng waved his hand.
When you are too hungry, you will always want to eat too much.
He just needs to adapt slowly.
After dinner, they went to watch the movie that Chen Nanfeng’s friend had bought too many tickets for.
"Good Luck and Prosperity".
When we arrived at the theater, the staff greeted us: "Good evening, both of you! We have a promotion tonight. Couples can get two free Cokes and a bucket of popcorn, but they must kiss."
Ye Shuyi wanted to explain: "No, you misunderstood..."
Chen Nanfeng held her hand and signaled with his eyes, it’s free, don’t miss it.
Ye Shuyi returned a look and said, "That's a couple's activity, and we even want to kiss. Are we suitable for each other?"
Chen Nanfeng: It’s okay, just pretend.
Afterwards, Chen Nanfeng smiled shyly and said to the staff: "We just confirmed our relationship a few days ago, so it's not a good fit."
The staff member smiled and said, "Oh, I understand. Then just hold hands and you'll be fine!"
Chen Nanfeng naturally took Ye Shuyi's hand.
For some unknown reason, Ye Shuyi didn't let go.
"Okay, here are your popcorn and Coke. Have fun watching the movie tonight."
"Thank you." Chen Nanfeng took it.
Ye Shuyi quickly pulled her hand back and was then handed a cup of Coke.
"Sorry for what happened earlier. Let's have a Coke and calm down."
Ye Shuyi glared at him, then took it. Someone just took advantage of me!
She wanted to slap someone.
However, the other party is his boss.
Forget it, forget it, for the sake of her job, she will endure it.
It’s just holding hands, it won’t cost you any money, at most you can just wash your hands later.
She glanced at Chen Nanfeng with displeasure and found that his ears were as red as if they were dripping blood, and his face was also red.
Ye Shuyi:?
The air conditioning in the cinema was clearly turned on very high, so how come the young master felt hot?
This movie is a costume drama. The hero and heroine are a pair of bickering lovers at the beginning, and they dislike each other. But in the end, the hero and heroine regard each other as the most important person in their lives.
Ye Shuyi has a preference for historical settings. When she was a child, she watched a very good costume drama, but unfortunately she forgot the name and can't find it anymore. She once looked for it based on the female lead's name, but couldn't find it either. Maybe she remembered it wrongly.
They sat in the middle of the eighth row, with a good viewing angle.
Ye Shuyi began to watch the movie seriously. When she saw that the male and female protagonists had just started to have some feelings for each other, the male protagonist was thrown into prison. For a moment, she was very nervous and regretful.
Why not let them spend more time together?
God, screenwriter, you are so cruel.
Ye Shuyi ate popcorn sadly.
Suddenly, someone next to her threw a ball of paper at her, and it almost fell into the popcorn bucket.
Who is so uncivilized as to throw garbage at the person next to him?
Ye Shuyi was about to start scolding when she found out that it was a boy who looked to be only about twenty years old and exuded a youthful aura.
He was looking at the big screen with a stern face.
Ye Shuyi suddenly realized that the person just now might not be trash and she had wrongly accused him.
So she picked up the paper ball from her arms and slowly opened it.
There was just a string of numbers on it, with a note: "This is my phone number. I think you're beautiful. Would you be interested in getting to know me? I enjoy hiking, sports, reading, and playing guitar. If you share the same interests, feel free to tap me on the shoulder."
After reading it, Ye Shuyi thought to herself, this is peach blossom.
She thought the other person was pretty good, but she didn't have any thoughts in that direction for the time being.
Just as she was planning to crumple it up and tear it up and throw it in the trash can when leaving (to prevent others from picking it up and exposing their personal information), the note was snatched away from her hand.
"Huh?" Ye Shuyi was caught off guard.
Chen Nanfeng grabbed the note, scanned it quickly, and then tore it up.
"Miss Ye, you have good luck in love." He said sullenly, his tone ambiguous.
Ye Shuyi said, why are you taking my note?
Chen Nanfeng said: "You want to get to know him? I'll help you."
After saying that, he stretched out his arm, passed Ye Shuyi, and patted the shoulder of the person next to him.
The boy was overjoyed and quickly turned his head to look.
