Chapter 92: Cooking Porridge
Ye Shuyi carefully cooked two large boxes of delicious food, but she didn't see Butler Xue coming to take them, and she felt anxious.
Really worried, he called Chen Nanfeng, but no one answered.
This is the first time this has happened.
Could it be that Butler Xue took leave for something and forgot to hand over other employees?
As for Chen Nanfeng, maybe he's busy with the pharmacy? I haven't seen him recently.
Normally he would come to pick up Ye Shuyi from get off work in person in the evening, but these days he has sent a driver.
Ye Shuyi was anxious, but she couldn't go directly to Chen's house to look for someone.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, no one came.
"Sister Shuyi, you should get off work first and don't stay out too late." Seeing that she was still standing at the door looking out, Xiao Pingliang went over to persuade her.
"Well, wait a little longer."
Didn't wait.
It was half past eleven, and Xiao Pingliang offered to use his bicycle to give Ye Shuyi a ride home.
Ye Shuyi said she would wait.
Xiao Pingliang continued to wait with her.
A black sedan stopped steadily in front of the food store.
Ye Shuyi recognized it; it was the car that usually took her home.
She walked quickly forward and slowly rolled down the car window. It was the driver, Xiaoshi.
"Miss Ye, the young master is not available today, please get in the car quickly." Xiao Shi said.
Ye Shuyi hurriedly asked, what happened to him?
"Oh, the eldest master was in a car accident!" Xiao Shi said with a sad face.
"What's going on?" Ye Shuyi was shocked. How could such a thing happen out of the blue?
"I don't know, it must have been an accident. It happened around two o'clock this afternoon. He's in the hospital now, and my wife is watching over him!" Xiaoshi sighed.
"Butler Xue is there too. Everyone was in a rush today, and I guess they forgot to tell you that you don't need dinner. I'd better follow my original duties and send you home, otherwise the young master will blame me when he wakes up." Xiao Shi said with his eyes lowered.
"Brother Shi, can you take me to the hospital? I'll go and take a look."
"This..." Xiaoshi was embarrassed, as this was beyond his job scope.
"Brother Shi, just take me there! When the young master asks, just say it was my request, okay?"
"Okay." Xiaoshi could only agree.
Ye Shuyi said goodbye to Xiao Pingliang before getting in the car.
She also bought some fruit and biscuits on the way so that she wouldn't go empty-handed.
Hong Kong First Hospital.
After Xiaoshi was sent there, he took Ye Shuyi to the ward.
The hospital was filled with the smell of disinfectant.
"Miss Ye, this is it. I won't go in." Xiao Shi said.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Shi."
"You're welcome."
Ye Shuyi knocked on the door, but no one answered.
So she turned the handle and the door opened.
What caught my eye was Chen Nanfeng, who was wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown with a bandage on his head.
His handsome face looked a bit sick and pale.
He half-sat up on the pillow, one hand dripping with needles, the other...
The other hand was slightly raised and stroked a girl's face.
The girl also put her hand on the back of his hand, and the two looked at each other lovingly, full of love.
Ye Shuyi suddenly felt that she was an eyesore.
He looked so funny and embarrassed when he hurried to see him.
Who are they and who are you?
Young Master Chen already has a lover, and you still come to disturb him. It's really inconsiderate.
She turned and left, but the bag of fruit biscuits she was carrying accidentally slipped from her hands and fell to the ground.
There was a "click" sound.
Chen Nanfeng and the girl both turned around to look.
"Ye Shuyi, why are you here?" Chen Nanfeng put his hand down suddenly, looking very flustered.
"Don't get me wrong, that's not what you meant just now," he explained.
Ye Shuyi said calmly and distantly, "Master Chen's affairs don't require explanation from a chef like me. Sorry for disturbing you two just now. Please continue."
After saying that, she left without looking back.
Xiao Shi had been guarding the door. When he saw Ye Shuyi come out, he asked, "Why are you coming out so soon?"
Ye Shuyi just said "hmm".
It was completely different from the anxious state just now.
"Miss Ye, what happened?"
"It's okay." Her face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and she walked with the wind.
It would be strange if nothing happened!
Xiao Shi could hardly keep up with her pace and could only walk quickly behind her, asking as he walked, "Miss Ye, are you going home? I'll pick you up."
"No need." Ye Shuyi didn't want to accept any help from Chen Nanfeng.
"Miss Ye, just take my car back. Otherwise, if anything happens to you on the way, the young master will blame me."
"No, he doesn't care about me that much." Ye Shuyi had misunderstood and overthought before. She would face the truth in the future.
"Eh? Did you have a fight? Miss Ye, don't think like that. Our young master cares about you very much, otherwise he wouldn't let me send you back." Xiao Shi touched his head and guessed in his heart.
What could make Miss Ye so angry... could it be that the young master's fiancée has arrived?
Well, that's a tough one.
In the end, Xiao Shi successfully persuaded Ye Shuyi to take his car home with his eloquence.
The next day, Butler Xue called and said that the young master was sick and just needed to cook some white porridge.
My wife was extremely sad and in very poor condition, so she was admitted to the next ward.
The lady’s portion is mainly light and appetizing.
Ye Shuyi agreed and said yes.
In fact, she really wanted to blurt out that she would no longer be the young master's wife and that she wanted to resign.
After all, he has his lover taking care of him, and the other person making a loving meal will have the same effect.
However, perhaps Chen Nanfeng was reluctant to let his lover cook.
Although I thought so, I quickly washed the rice and then soaked it for half an hour to allow the rice grains to fully absorb water, so that the porridge would be softer and more glutinous.
Then, drain the water and add peanut oil and mix well.
This will make the porridge more fragrant.
Bring water to a boil over high heat, add rice and ginger, and bring to a boil. Once the porridge is boiling, stir the pot with a spoon in one direction continuously.
When the porridge particles start to bloom, you can turn to low heat and half cover the lid to make the porridge thicker and softer.
This is cooked for Chen Nanfeng.
For Ms. Fang's portion, Ye Shuyi cooked fried stuffed vegetables, stir-fried pork, and a dish of lettuce with soy sauce.
When it was time for dinner, Butler Xue didn't come, but another employee of the Chen family came instead.
When he came to get it, he looked worried and took the initiative to tell Ye Shuyi about the situation.
"I don't know what happened to the young master last night? He pulled out the needle for the IV and fell down in front of the ward. The wound that was stitched up with great difficulty has opened up again and is bleeding."
"ah???"
Ye Shuyi was extremely surprised. It hurt just to hear this.
Who made him leave right after his wound was stitched?
Why didn't his girlfriend stop him?
She almost dropped her lunch box.
"Well, I'll take the food over first. Goodbye, Miss Ye!" The employee waved his hand without saying anything more.
"Oh, okay, bye."
In fact, Ye Shuyi wanted to ask, but she told herself that it had nothing to do with her!
Don't ask anymore.
With that, she turned and went back to the kitchen.
The guests wanted sweet and sour pork, so Ye Shuyi made it...
With her level of proficiency, she could even act out a bad mood based on her feelings...
"Sister Shuyi! This is salt! Why did you only put half a bag in it!" Shi Ruoxin saw it from the side and exclaimed in surprise.
Is this a new dish? Sweet and Sour Pork?
