Chapter 116 "High Attack and Low Defense" Boss Li
"You didn't go home on New Year's Day?" Meng Bai let her in and closed the door.
"New Year's Day is next month, and it's the same if I go back then."
Li Yitong took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet familiarly, and then walked into the house carrying a lot of things.
Looking at the empty dining table and kitchen, she smiled with satisfaction and said, "I knew you would be too lazy to cook if you were alone at home."
Meng Bai leaned against the kitchen door and watched her sort out the ingredients she brought, "You can order takeout."
Li Yitong looked at him strangely: "Today is New Year's Day, how many stores are open?"
"There are always some, I just ordered."
As soon as Meng Bai finished speaking, a notification sound suddenly popped up on his phone. He opened it and took a look, then turned off the phone with a dark face.
Li Yitong saw his unhappy expression and asked, "What's wrong?" "
The food delivery app prompted me that I didn't have a rider to take the order, so it has canceled the order for me and sent me a three-yuan coupon." Meng Bai said weakly.
Li Yitong smiled smugly when he heard this: "Hehe, I said I came at the right time."
Since the originally scheduled takeaway was gone, the only food left was the pile of food that Li Yitong brought.
Meng Bai squatted in front of a pile of ingredients, curiously flipping through them to see what was in them.
"Meat...eggs...tomatoes, what is this?" Meng Bai asked while holding a box of frozen dumplings: "What are you buying this for?"
Li Yitong looked back and said as a matter of course: "We have to eat dumplings on New Year's Day. Are you from Shandong?"
"Who would eat frozen dumplings during the holidays?" Meng Bai frowned and said: "This kind of thing is not worthy of appearing on the festive table!"
"Then go downstairs to buy noodles and stuffing to make them?"
"In fact, in modern society, food must keep pace with the times. What dumplings are not eaten?"
Looking at Meng Bai who put down the frozen dumplings in a dejected manner, Li Yitong couldn't help but chuckled - this guy is picky about food, and he can make do with it, depending on whether he needs to work hard.
Otherwise, I dare not come to cook with my little cooking skills.
As a single man who is away from home for ten days or half a month, Meng Bai's food reserves at home are very clean. There is nothing except a few boxes of instant noodles and mineral water.
"I think the oil and salt should be in... Ha, found it!" Li Yitong opened the cabinet above her head and found some basic seasonings.
She has been to Meng Bai's house more than once. In the past few years, she would occasionally come here with Hua Yan and other friends to have hot pot.
Every time she helped to clean up the house, she would specifically remind him to put the unused seasonings in a higher place away from light to prevent them from spoiling.
She raised her hand to try and felt that she could reach it at this height. Li Yitong glanced at Meng Bai who was still flipping through the ingredients, and carefully stood on tiptoes, pushing the necessary seasonings hard inside.
That's right, she came here today not just to help Meng Bai cook, but with a target mission!
"New Year's Day, what a good reason and day, there is plenty of time to stay together. In the afternoon, you can cook while you are dawdling and get the atmosphere going. When all the food is ready, it will be evening. You can drink some more wine and find an excuse to get him two more glasses. When you are almost done, throw yourself into his arms, and that's it!"
Li Yitong thought about the plan she had discussed with her bestie Jin Chen before coming here, her face flushed, but then her eyes became firm, and she made up her mind secretly.
"Meng Bai, come and help me."
Li Yitong "jumped" under the cabinet, her fingers curled up in front of the cabinet and said, "I can't reach the seasoning on top."
"Oh, let me do it." Meng Bai stood up, walked to Li Yitong, raised his hand and took down several bottles of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and so on.
"So fast!"
Li Yitong was about to learn from the TV series, wait for him to come behind her, and then pretend to accidentally jump off the side and not stand, so that she could take advantage of the situation to make contact.
This is what Jin Chen taught her, the purpose is to cultivate the atmosphere.
Unfortunately, Meng Bai's ability to act is a little beyond expectations. She was still figuring out how to "fall" more naturally, but the other party had already finished.
"It's just taking it down, what's the big deal about it being fast or not?" Meng Bai asked in confusion.
"Oh, that's right." Li Yitong laughed dryly, secretly hating herself for hesitating just now.
It must be said that although Li Yitong's cooking skills are not very proficient, she can still make simple home-cooked dishes. And it can be seen that she is someone who usually cooks for herself. Although her movements are a bit slow, the process is orderly.
Although Meng Bai has always been lazy, he didn't feel embarrassed to let the little girl work alone in the kitchen, so he also helped to deal with the ingredients.
"Wash this."
"Peel this."
"Where is the shovel I just put here?"
"..."
Li Yitong "issued instructions" as the chef, and Meng Bai helped on the side.
At first, the cooperation between the two was a little unfamiliar, but after all, they had known each other for so many years, and soon they became tacitly in tune.
Looking at Li Yitong who was washing vegetables, Meng Bai suddenly felt that this scene was a little familiar.
I remember that when I was at home, Mom Meng often instructed Dad Meng to do this and that. Although Dad Meng complained, he always did it as he was told.
Why is the atmosphere getting a little warm?
Meng Bai stood up, walked to Li Yitong, and took the ingredients from her: "I'll do this kind of work, Boss Li, please do more technical work."
"Okay, then you wash it carefully." Li Yitong made room and did not forget to remind him.
Seeing that she wanted to start the pan and heat the oil, Meng Bai suddenly remembered something: "Wait for me."
After that, he walked to the cabinet beside and rummaged for a while, then took out an apron.
"I just remember that we left it after we finished the hot pot last time."
Meng Bai was about to hand it over, but then he found that both of her hands were covered with water. After a pause, he said to her: "Turn around and help you put it on."
Li Yitong's eyes lit up instantly. Haha, you actually delivered it to the door yourself.
Thinking of this, she opened her hands, made a hug-like gesture, and then waited for Meng Bai's action.
Putting the apron on the other person's head, before Li Yitong could say anything, Meng Bai directly pulled her arm and turned her around, "I'll tie the belt for you."
Li Yitong, who was forced to turn around, couldn't help rolling her eyes. It was obviously a good plan, why did this guy always not follow the routine.
She picked up the shovel and pot beside her, and really wanted to give this guy a shovel!
Meng Bai naturally didn't know Li Yitong was speechless. He wrapped the apron belt around twice, thinking of tying it behind her.
However, after pulling it for a while, he found that the length of the belt was not long enough.
Meng Bai observed it and found that the apron was designed to be convenient for people to tie it by themselves when using it, so it was designed to be fixed in front.
He wanted to let Li Yitong turn around again, but he took a look and found that she was already busy with the shovel and pot, and it seemed inconvenient to turn around.
After thinking about it, Meng Bai raised his hand and hugged Li Yitong from behind, helping her to fix the belt in front.
Li Yitong was "imagining" in her mind that she would beat the guy up with a frying pan and a spatula, when she suddenly felt a heat behind her and a body pressed against her back. Then, Meng Bai's arm passed through her waist and almost hugged her.
"Dang!"
With a crisp sound, the spatula in Li Yitong's hand fell into the pot.
Looking at her originally fair cheeks, they were already stained with red.
