When Ji Hao came to Song Xia's house.
Song Qiu is in the kitchen learning to make Mapo Tofu, a dish taught to her by Song Xiaxin.
"Song Qiu!"
Ji Hao started shouting before he even entered the kitchen.
Hearing the sound.
Song Qiu glanced at him and continued tending the fire.
Ji Hao strode over and said, "You cook, I'll tend the fire for you."
Song Qiu did not refuse; it just so happened that she needed someone to taste the dishes.
Open the lid.
Seeing that the Mapo Tofu was almost cooked, Song Qiu took a plate and served it.
Ji Hao stood up, staring at the red and white vegetables in front of him, completely unable to recognize what they were. He opened his mouth and asked Song Qiu, "Song Qiu, what did you make?"
“Ma Po Tofu.”
Song Qiu dragged a stool over for Ji Hao to sit on, and then went to get a bowl and chopsticks.
Ji Hao was somewhat flattered when he saw that it was for him: "You, you gave it to me?"
"Otherwise what?"
"Can you try the dish for me?"
Song Qiu pushed the Mapo Tofu in front of Ji Hao and said.
"good!"
Ji Hao readily agreed. Holding the bowl, he reached out with his chopsticks to pick up some tofu, but it fell into the plate as soon as he picked it up.
Song Qiu frowned and went to get a spoon, then ladled out more than half a bowl for him.
"eat."
Ji Hao nodded, picked up the tofu and started rummaging through it. He almost spat it out as soon as he put it in his mouth; it was sweet, spicy, and a little bitter.
Song Qiu watched as Ji Hao swallowed.
She leaned closer, blinked, and asked, "Ji Hao, how was my Mapo Tofu? Was it good?"
"tasty."
Ji Hao met Song Qiu's gaze and said.
Hearing him say that...
Song Qiu's eyes brightened considerably: "Really? Does that mean my cooking skills have improved? I tried several times before and failed, but I succeeded today..."
Ji Hao: "..."
Before he arrived, who did the taste test?
Ji Hao asked whatever he was thinking.
Song Qiu pouted and said, "Before you came, I had my servant Xiao Yi try the food, but he only tried a few times before refusing to try any more. Whenever I looked for him, he was either busy or had to go..."
"And then what?"
Ji Hao asked again.
Song Qiu coughed and said, "Later, I tasted it myself. Every time I made it, I thought it was pretty good, but for some reason, it always turned out awful. This time it's finally better..."
So she knew she was a bad cook.
Ji Hao couldn't bear to discourage her, so he said, "Song Qiu, your family doesn't lack cooks now, why do you have to work so hard? You should stop cooking and just eat what they cook."
Seeing him say that.
Song Qiu looked at him and said, "What do you know? I want to open a restaurant..."
She runs a restaurant…
With her skill level, when will she ever be able to start driving?
Ji Hao said to Song Qiu, "That's easy, just hire a chef, right? If you don't have a suitable candidate, I'll help you find one. If you're willing, I can start a business with you."
"I just want to do it myself."
Before Ji Hao could say anything, Song Qiu went and got herself a bowl and chopsticks.
She was about to pick it up and eat it.
Ji Hao poured everything into his bowl.
"Why are you like this? I haven't even had any food yet!"
Song Qiu glared at her.
As Ji Hao ate, he said, "I rarely get to eat like this, so I should eat as much as I can. We're such good friends, you wouldn't be so stingy as to not eat this much, would you?"
"Okay, okay, you can have it. I'll make another plate myself."
Song Qiu was about to go get the tofu when she said that.
What? There's more!
Ji Hao followed and bumped into Song Qiu, who was turning around.
Bang.
The tofu in Song Qiu's hand suddenly fell to the ground.
Song Qiu's face darkened: "Ji Hao, what do you mean? Are you doing this on purpose?"
"I didn't mean to."
Ji Hao quickly said, "Song Qiu, don't be angry. I'll compensate you, I'll give you a whole basketful, okay?"
Song Qiu's complexion improved.
Ji Hao hadn't forgotten why he was there. He tentatively asked, "Song Qiu, your second sister got married, and your eldest sister got engaged. What about you?"
Song Qiu was taken aback for a moment and said, "Me? I don't want to get engaged right now, and I'd like to postpone the wedding as well."
She thinks this way, but what about her family?
Ji Hao pursed his lips and stepped forward, saying, "Song Qiu, do you have someone you like? What do you think of me?"
"What did you say?"
Song Qiu thought she had misheard.
Ji Hao repeated it several times.
Song Qiu was now certain she hadn't misheard, and she remained silent for a long time.
Ji Hao said to her, "Song Qiu, I'm not joking with you. I like you, and I want to marry you. I've liked you for a long time, not just a day or two."
What!
He likes her and wants to marry her.
this.
How is that possible?
Song Qiu took two steps back and said, "Ji Hao, don't joke with me like that. This kind of joke is not funny at all."
"I told you, I wasn't joking with you."
“I’ve been waiting for you to grow up, but I can’t wait any longer. I’m afraid that if I don’t tell you soon, you’ll fall in love with someone else, or your parents will arrange for you to marry someone else.”
Ji Hao's eyes were fixed on Song Qiu, his affection for her undisguised.
What does she like about him?
What's so good about her?
She wasn't as gentle and capable as her eldest sister, nor as good at both social and domestic affairs as her second sister.
Let's set aside whether she likes him or not.
Although their family also runs a business, it's still not as successful as Ji Hao's family.
I came to my senses.
Song Qiu said to Ji Hao, "You should leave. We're not a good match. Besides, I'm still young. By the time I come of age, how old will you be?"
She didn't say she didn't like him.
So she likes him, right?
Ji Hao was overjoyed. He said gently, "I'm not that much older than you. I'm willing to wait for you."
He's willing to wait...
Song Qiu's heart was instantly thrown into turmoil. Seeing that Ji Hao was about to continue speaking, she subconsciously grabbed a broom from the side.
"Are you leaving or not? If you don't leave, I'll kick you out!"
"Go ahead and hit me..."
Ji Hao stood there and wouldn't move.
Song Qiu said irritably, "I don't like you. You're useless for staying here!"
"I don't intend to linger here. I just want to talk to you a little more. It's okay if you don't like me; I'm willing to wait. Once you like me, I'll come back to your family to propose marriage..."
Ji Hao spoke with a serious expression, as if he were joking.
It's clear he really likes her.
Song Qiu ignored him.
Ji Hao stood there for a while before leaving.
I watched his departing figure.
Song Qiu sat on the stool for a long time without moving. After he left, she began to clean up the tofu that had fallen on the ground. Seeing that some of it was still usable, she started to wash it.
She followed the previous instructions, but the result almost made her throw up.
"Wait a minute, didn't Ji Hao say it was delicious?"
Song Qiu's gaze fell on the tofu that Ji Hao hadn't finished eating. She took a bite and found it even worse than what she was making now.
Her feelings were more complicated than before.
When Song Xia came to visit her, she found Song Qiu standing by the counter, staring intently at the Mapo Tofu in front of her. She asked curiously, "Third Sister, what are you looking at? Didn't you say Ji Hao was coming to see you? Where is he?"
