Xie Yun had no experience in the kitchen, and the order of cooking was not scientific. Not only were the dishes cold or hot, but her hands were also cut and bleeding.
Xie Qing's work was neat and tidy, and it was obvious that she was experienced. People with experience would not enter the kitchen, and she had to hurt her hand before helping. The difference
in character was immediately apparent.
However, her words seemed to be spoken to a deaf person. Those who did not understand did not understand, and those who understood pretended to be confused.
As for Xie Qing, she adjusted the positions of several dishes as if nothing had happened, and said, "I don't have experience this time, but I will have it next time. It's like practicing a dance, you just need to practice a few more times to get it right."
These words sounded like a chef giving advice to his apprentice.
Chai Yu glanced at Xie Yun's tightly bitten lower lip. He wanted to laugh but tried hard to hold it back.
Tan Yi stood up and took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet. "It was obviously my treat, but I made everyone busy. The fault is mine. To express my apology, I'll choose a bottle of good wine to make amends for you."
"Okay, Old Tan, you're so righteous!" Chai Yu found a bottle opener from the bar. "It's the 1985 Lafite. It's been eleven years. It's a good time. We're in luck." The
1985 Lafite is not as famous as the 1982 Lafite, but even so, it's not something you can buy if you want.
Tan Yi took it out casually.
Gu Ling and Xie Yun looked at Tan Yi in surprise and suspicion. They only knew that Tan Yi was from Beijing and had a good family background, but they didn't expect him to be so good.
Xie Chen, on the other hand, didn't have so many thoughts. Tan Yi was Xie Qing's leader, nothing more.
In the one-minute silence, Chai Yu opened the bottle cork, and Tan Yi also found a decanter and a goblet.
Chai Yu sobered up the wine and sat down on the chair next to Xie Qing, "Everyone, eat first to fill your stomach. It's better to drink this wine later."
He gave an order, and Gu Ling, Xie Chen, Tan Yi, and Xie Qing all stretched their chopsticks towards the boiled fish...
Xie Yun had just been relieved, and her heart had adjusted. Her anger subsided, and her eyes fell on Xie Qing's face without makeup.
She used to think Xie Qing was just a shrewd person. She wore whatever she wore and did whatever she did, so she never thought Xie Qing was pretty.
But Xie Qing suddenly changed. She wore a bun like dancers like and dressed casually and unrestrainedly. She was full of personality and became more and more dazzling in the crowd.
If she was graceful, beautiful and classical, then Xie Qing was bold, confident and eye-catching.
She was sure that Xie Qing was not the original Xie Qing - she did not fight for favor, resign, go home, pursue Gu Ling, refuse Qin's marriage, and even did not care about her.
So...
did Xie Qing live longer before her rebirth?
Did she know that Tan Yi's background was better than Gu Ling's, so she insisted on staying in the police station?
It was not impossible, as evidenced by the three sets of clothes.
Xie Yun pondered and took a bite of the boiled fish. It was indeed excellent, spicy, fresh and fragrant. It was indeed cooked around the stove.
She thought about it and said tentatively, "The boiled fish is good. Grandma is good at cooking. Did Qingqing learn it from her?"
The original owner did not like to mention her experience of growing up in the countryside in front of outsiders. She would change the subject if she mentioned it a little bit.
Xie Qing remembered this, but she had no intention of playing the original owner, so she recalled it seriously, "I learned this dish from the canteen chef, but the foundation was laid by my grandmother. You know, my grandfather hates to ask for food and clothes, and I grew up with them, so I benefited a lot."
She knew Xie Yun was testing her.
After all, she had changed so much, and as a reborn girl, Xie Yun couldn't help but want to find out.
Unfortunately, even if Xie Yun racked her brains, she would not guess that they lived in a book and she was a strange book traveler.
Xie Chen explained to the others, "Indeed, my father was starting a business, and my mother couldn't take care of three children. Qingqing was sent to live with my grandfather when she was very young, and she didn't come back until high school."
Chai Yu picked up a piece of boiled fish, "Qingqing is a bit like Lao Tan. The old man is strict with them, unlike my father, who spoils my nephew to death."
He didn't know why Xie Yun wanted to talk about Xie Qing's childhood. He was not interested in her purpose, so he changed the subject directly.
The secret battle between the two sisters ended here, and the red wine was sober. Everyone raised their glasses together and ate hot and noisy.
After dinner, everyone cleaned up the kitchen and played with the tractor for a while - Xie Yun was not good at it, Gu Ling did not like it, and Xie Chen and his sister played against Tan Yu (spittoon).
At 4 pm, Xie Chen and his sister won the last game, and everyone stood up and said goodbye.
After seeing off the guests, Tan Yi and Chai Yu returned to the living room.
Chai Yu lit a cigarette, "What does your family say about Xie Chen's land?"
Tan Yi poured him a glass of wine, "It's not a big problem, it depends on whether Xie Chen wants to shoot it or not."
Chai Yu said, "I asked my brother, he said to wait until the weather is warmer, then come and take a look."
Tan Yi said, "It's better to be cautious."
Chai Yu put out the cigarette, "I think humans are a very strange kind of animal. When you think a person is good, then everything about him is good. Once you find unacceptable shortcomings, She is not happy with everything about her."
Tan Yi said, "Are you talking about Xie Yun?"
Chai Yu raised his cup and clinked it against Tan Yi's cup. "If she wanted Xie Qing to help, she could have asked her at the beginning, but she didn't. She probably wanted to show off her skills. Then she found out that she was more capable, so she started to be weird and picky about her not helping, which made her feel very frustrated."
Tan Yi smiled slightly, "She cut her hand because you laughed too loudly in the living room."
"Alas..." Chai Yu sighed, "It's meaningless to grow up. For a little property and benefits, brothers are separated and sisters fight with each other. The Xie family brothers and sisters are actually good. At least they are working hard in their respective fields, and everyone can get by with face."
Tan Yi agreed.
...
Go to work on the sixth day of the New Year.
Xie Qing used her lunch break to go to Zuilong Bay and took a look at the internal structure of the villa with Xie Chen.
The two floors above ground are relatively large, each floor is about 60 square meters, and the underground floor is relatively small, more than 30 square meters.
The layout of the house is reasonable and basically does not require major changes.
The leap floor that Xie Xun liked is also good, a large house of more than 200 square meters. Although it does not have the small garden of the Wolong Bay villa, it is safe enough.
Xie Qing paid the full amount and gave Xie Chen her requirements for the decoration, asking him to find a decoration company to design it together.
From the sixth to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Anhai was very peaceful.
Xie Qing and Cao Haisheng jointly handled a medical accident and two injury appraisals caused by traffic accidents. The work was very easy.
Xie Qing took the opportunity to decide on the decoration plan for the new home - mainly rural style, supplemented by industrial style. On
the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xie Qing was not on duty and spent an ordinary holiday at home.
Xie Yun and Chen Yuehua were very happy to know that Xie Qing bought a house and would not live with them in the future.
Without Xie Qing at home, Xie Yun didn't have to worry about the secret of rebirth being exposed, and Chen Yuehua didn't have to worry about Xie Qing using her hands that handled the dead to touch everything she touched on a daily basis.
Everyone was at ease, and there were fewer conflicts.
On the morning of the 16th day of the first lunar month, Xie Qing had just finished cleaning the office when Huang Zhenyi called her over.
Lu Qiyuan and Tan Yi were also there.
Xie Qing was a little surprised and immediately realized that something might have happened.
Huang Zhenyi's face was a bit solemn, he said: "Xiao Xie, please sit down, we have something to discuss with you."
Lu Qiyuan said: "Before speaking, let me first emphasize that Xiao Xie can refuse, no one will blame you for it."
Xie Qing said: "Is it an undercover mission?"
Huang Zhenyi slapped the table, "This kid is smart."
Lu Qiyuan also laughed, "Xiao Xie's reaction, plus his good skills, this mission should be safe."
Xie Qing thought, I don't know who betrayed me, there is no need for a forensic doctor when there are female police officers.
She subconsciously looked at Tan Yi.
Tan Yi was also looking at her, he shook his head imperceptibly.
Xie Qing thought, what do you mean by shaking your head, didn't you recommend me, or do you want me to refuse?
Lu Qiyuan said, "This mission was originally assigned to Li Ke, but considering Li Ke's lack of experience, you were replaced. Although you are not a criminal police officer, you are sharp-minded and quick to react, which makes you more suitable than Li Ke."
Although it is unfair to Li Ke to say this, it is the fact.
Xie Qing did not comment and waited for the next step.
Lu Qiyuan continued, "This is what happened. During the Chinese New Year, the number of people reported missing continued to increase, and all the police stations were working overtime on this matter. The day before yesterday, the Feng'an Police Station found that some traffickers were active near the train station. After analysis, we believe that this is an organized gang. In order to rescue more hostages and to destroy the organization as much as possible, we want to send an undercover agent to infiltrate." "But being an undercover
