Chapter 162: Hu Li's "Rice"
Water was running in the bathtub, and the heat was gradually spreading in the bathroom. Irene sat on the washing machine next to her with her hands on her chin, looking a little bored while waiting.
Yu Sheng reached into the bathtub to test the water temperature, and turned up the heat a little - the doll wasn't afraid of heat anyway.
"I want to use the shower too!" Irene suddenly shouted from behind.
"Can you reach it?" Yu Sheng turned his head and glanced at the guy, "It's hard to hold the shower head with both hands, and you need a ladder to open the valve - you should just take a bath in the bathtub. And to be honest, you can even swim in it. Most people can't have this experience when taking a bath..."
"I don't grow this tall on my own will!" Irene immediately became angry, "If you have the guts, mold me into a body that's 1.67 meters tall!"
Yu Sheng didn't respond at all. He was used to the puppet's mumbling anyway.
Irene didn't care whether Yu Sheng paid attention to her or not. Soon she had a new request: "Then you can get me a smaller shower head, the kind used for bathing children, and install an extra valve near the ground. You can also install a set in the shower room for me. That thing is not expensive..."
"One day, one day," Yu Sheng said casually, standing up and looking at Irene, "The water is ready, come in - I've hung the towel on the wall next to you."
"I know," Irene waved her hands impatiently, jumped off the washing machine, and then struggled to climb to the edge of the bathtub, "I want to take a bath, get out, get out--"
Yu Sheng flicked the little doll's forehead and walked out of the bathroom. Then he heard the sound of water coming from the kitchen. He looked over and saw that it was Hu Li who was cleaning up - she had just cleaned up the accident scene caused by Irene, and was now scrubbing the burnt spatula in the sink.
When Yu Sheng saw this, he immediately felt comforted. He thought to himself that fortunately there was not only a professional troublemaker like Irene at home, but also an honest child who could help...
Then he saw Hu Li turned his head and looked at him, quickly wiped his hands on his tail, and then took a basin of something from the stove and brought it to him as if offering a treasure: "Benefactor, this is for you."
Yu Sheng was a little confused for a moment. He looked down at the contents of the basin, but couldn't figure out what the mixture was used for for a long time. He could only look up at the girl in front of him: "...What?"
"Although Irene's dish was burnt, I have actually cooked the rice!" Hu Li said with a bright smile, "Try it, try it..."
Yu Sheng's admiration for Hu Li as an "honest child" had not yet faded away. When he heard the other party happily taking credit, his brain did not react for two seconds before he lowered his head to take a look at the things in the basin - this time he finally managed to associate that thing with "food", and the next second, awe in his mind surged up like a gusher.
"Is this the rice you cooked?!" He subconsciously took a half step back, fearing that if he looked into the basin again, the contents would sprout seven or eight eyes and a bunch of tentacles. "What did you cook in there?"
As he spoke, his mind was still filled with the impression left by the quick glance he had just taken at the basin. He could not remember the specific scene, but he remembered that the basin was filled with all kinds of lumps, vegetables that would not close their eyes, pieces of meat that would not close their eyes, and God knows what else that would not close its eyes rising and falling in it. Even from a meter away, he seemed to be able to feel the resentment coming out of the basin - as if the ingredients that were cooked in it were still screaming at the top of their lungs, mainly crying out for injustice.
However, Hu Li didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and even explained to Yu Sheng: "It's just the kinds of things I like to eat."
Yu Sheng took a moment to react and realized that the other party meant that she cooked all the things she liked to eat.
The key problem is that she loves to eat everything - let's put it this way, if no one stops her, she will taste the packaging paper of the things she buys to see if they are salty or not...
As they were talking, Hu Li had already arrived at the restaurant carrying the bowl of the mixed delicacy. She happily filled two bowls with it, then turned around and looked at Yu Sheng expectantly.
For the first time, Yu Sheng discovered that the expectant look from this simple "silly fox" could actually be so oppressive.
He walked over reluctantly, and after a long pause, he uttered, "Actually, I don't..."
I couldn't say the second half of the sentence.
Because Hu Li was still looking at this side happily, waiting for a compliment.
Yu Sheng sat down with a numb expression, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth - after all, it was all cooked with things from the kitchen, and no matter how serious the disease was, it shouldn't kill people. This was the first time that the fox girl cooked for him, and the san value of the material in this pot might not be high, but the thought behind it was great, so he might as well give it a try this time.
If I am still conscious after eating, I have to have a good talk with Hu Li. At least I have to let her know that she should learn the basic knowledge of cooking according to the normal process before challenging this difficult "meal"...
With all sorts of thoughts in his mind, Yu Sheng took a breath, picked up the spoon and scooped a mouthful of soup into his mouth.
Then he froze.
Hu Li was watching from the side with great anticipation: "How is it, Benefactor? This is what my mother taught me to make - the only difference is that the ingredients are a little different, so I just played with it according to my own understanding..."
Yu Sheng still didn't say anything, because at this moment his mind was filled with surprise.
This thing doesn't taste that bad?
Of course, it can't be said to be very delicious, but it gives people a very strange feeling. I don't know how to describe this contrast. It's basically like you take a look at this thing and feel that your life is over. But after eating it in one bite, you can't help but exclaim - Wow! It's human food! It's like eating with your eyes closed.
"Not bad?" Yu Sheng took another bite and said hesitantly under Hu Li's expectant eyes, "The taste is very novel. I haven't eaten it before, but I think it's okay."
As he spoke, he had gradually gotten used to ignoring the ever-changing colors and the strange scene of the lumps rolling in the bowl, and even began to taste a little good from it.
Hu Li smiled immediately after hearing Yu Sheng's words. Although it was not a big compliment, she obviously regarded it as a recognition worthy of joy. Then she turned around and rummaged through her tail, took out two fluffy little chicks and put them on the table. She then used a small bowl to serve them a little bit of the solid matter in the thick soup: "You guys eat too~"
Yu Sheng looked at them in astonishment: "...Can they eat this? You just feed them?"
"It should be possible," Hu Li said casually, "Anyway, that's how we fed the black-winged sparrows at home."
Yu Sheng felt something was wrong as soon as he heard it, but before he could open his mouth, the two little chicks who knew nothing had already started to huddle together and eat - they were squealing as they ate, and they sounded very happy.
It seems like there's nothing wrong with it.
Yu Sheng looked at the situation on the table, decided not to say anything more, and lowered his head to continue eating.
Hu Li also looked at the situation on the table, smiled happily, and lowered his head to continue eating.
She was actually a little worried, worried that the things she was trying to make by following the methods she remembered from decades ago would be too bad. After all, the materials here were strange, the tools were strange, the environment was strange, and even the things she made... the final appearance was strange.
After my mother cooked, all she took out from the stove were some golden little meatballs, but for some reason what I made was a pot of soup.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
But fortunately, my benefactor seemed to like it very much.
I also like the white cut and salt baked ones.
After finishing the meal, Yu Sheng patted his stomach contentedly and burped. He didn’t know if it was because he had caught up on some sleep before, but he now felt full of energy and strength.
The two little chicks were also walking around on the table to digest their food. Occasionally, they would stop at the edge of the table, look up at Yu Sheng curiously, then look at Hu Li, and chirp a few times when they were happy, appearing to be very leisurely.
As soon as Hu Li waved his hand, the two of them ran over obediently and were caught in his tail.
"Is Eileen still not done with her bath?" Yu Shengze looked up at the bathroom, "She wouldn't have drowned in the bathtub, would she?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Irene, who was watching TV in the living room, shout, "You're the one who drowned! I'm drying my hair! You know I have long hair!"
Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then turned his head in surprise: "Oh my god, I forgot you were in the living room! Why didn't you come over for dinner today?"
Irene strolled over from the living room and stood by the door of the dining room, rolling her eyes: "I took a look from a distance and I don't think that thing can be considered a meal."
“It tastes pretty good actually…”
Yu Sheng muttered a little awkwardly, and then he saw Irene walk to the bathroom door, move a small stool, step on it, pull the handle hard to open the door, and let Irene out of the bathroom - the latter was wrapped in a towel, her hair was still wet, holding her black skirt in her hands, and came to the dining table with a clatter: "Yu Sheng, I'm done!"
"...Sometimes I still can't get used to having two of you at home," Yu Sheng muttered, his eyes falling on the clothes in the little doll's hand, "What's wrong with the clothes?"
"I burned a lot of holes. Can you help me fix them?"
"Aren't these clothes made of camouflage?! Can't you change them back by yourself?"
"After the mimicry comes out, it becomes ordinary clothes," Irene said matter-of-factly, "Do you have any common sense?"
Yu Sheng: “……?”
Is this common sense that humans should have? !
He looked at the doll with a strange expression, and reluctantly reached out to take the skirt handed over by the other party: "Give it to me first... But I'll be frank with you, you know my skills, and I guess it's just so-so after I finish it for you - I'll go to the mall and buy you two new ones. The doll store has clothes for three-point dolls, and they should have your size."
"Okay, okay, you're finally willing to buy me something!" Irene was immediately happy when she heard it, then she turned around and ran back to the bathroom, and ran out with a hair dryer, "Blow my hair!"
Yu Sheng: "...I really owe you!"
