Qin Lou seldom eats this kind of sweet food on weekdays, but when Shi Jiu handed him the cake, he did not hesitate at all. He took it, cut a piece with a spoon, and put it in his mouth.
The taste is silky, unexpectedly sweet and dense, with a light lemon scent.
"How is it? This is the heavy cheesecake I learned how to make before. Is it delicious?" Shi Jiu held the small cake. She had tasted it before. It was not very sweet and she liked it very much.
Qin Lou met her expectant gaze and nodded affirmatively.
“Delicious, not too sweet.”
"That's good. I was afraid it was too sweet. I still have several pieces in the fridge. I've prepared the rest of the snacks. We can have a nice meal tonight!"
It can be considered as a way to relax. She has been here for such a long time, but she hasn't really gotten to know the employees in depth yet.
In the evening, under the dark night, fine snow began to fall again.
The lights on both sides of the gate lit up, illuminating the surroundings.
At this time, several important employees arranged their subordinates, patted their clothes, and prepared to go to the boss's room for dinner.
"Brother, you said the boss asked us to have a dinner, would it be possible..." Lin Xi followed Lin Ye. He had only been managing the store for a few days, but he noticed that the mental outlook in the villa was very different from that outside.
Today was going well, everything seemed to be in order, but the text message during the lunch gathering reminded him of things that had happened in the base before, and he started sweating for a while.
Lin Ye glanced at his worried little brother. Didn't this guy enjoy arguing with him before? Now that life has returned to normal, he's worried here instead.
"What do you have to worry about? It's just a meal with the boss. Didn't you say before that I was too cautious?" Lin Ye mocked him mercilessly.
"How can they be the same? Let's talk about the facts. I just remembered the dinner party at the base before. This has left a psychological trauma." Lin Xi couldn't help but refuted him.
"If I were the boss, I would hit you first. You can't hide what's going on on your face." After saying that, the two of them just walked to the door, and Lin Ye knocked politely.
"I'm here." After saying that, as soon as they opened the door, they saw Butler Qin, who usually had an indifferent face, wearing a light blue apron and holding a spatula in his hand. The contrast was so great that the two of them forgot for a moment that they were here to eat.
"Why don't you come in?" Qin Lou frowned as he looked at the two of them, who looked shocked. How long would they have to stand outside?
"Ah! Come in, come in, come in now!" Lin Ye came to his senses first, pulled his still stunned brother over, and hurried into the living room.
"Are you here? Wait a minute, Wang Yue and Wei Qu haven't come yet." Shi Jiu, who was still arranging things at the dining table, saw them and said with a smile.
"Boss, we don't have anything good to bring here, so just consider these fruits as after-dinner fruits!" When the two saw Shi Jiu, they hurriedly put the fruits in their hands forward.
"Hey, why haven't I seen these fruits before?" Shi Jiu saw what they were holding, and they didn't look like normal fruits.
"This is produced by the mutated plants outside. We have tried it before. It is not dangerous. It tastes sour and sweet and it can relieve the spiciness." In the basket were blue fruits that were bigger than Shi Jiu's fist. They were found around the base when they were living there before.
"Thank you, please sit down first." Shi Jiu took these mutated fruits. The system inspection showed that they were non-toxic and harmless, and could also appropriately improve the functions of superpowers. It seemed that animals and plants themselves were also evolving.
Soon Wang Yue and Wei Qu also came with gifts.
"Boss! We're here!" Wang Yue handed over the things in her hand as soon as she entered the door.
"This is the food Wei Qu and I made together, ice jelly, it goes well with hot pot!" Wang Yue raised the basket in her hand as if presenting a treasure.
"You two are really in sync. What you brought to the door are all food. Just leave them here and eat them later!" Shi Jiu didn't expect that Wang Yue and the others also brought ice jelly, which she did not have in stock.
The four people's eyes met for a moment and then looked away. Everyone knew that the boss loved to eat. It was always right to send food, and it didn't require any thinking. It was really good!
It just so happened that Qin Lou had already cooked the hot pot base and brought it to the table.
Originally, Shi Jiu wanted to do it himself, but Qin Lou saw that he had nothing to do, so he volunteered to go to the kitchen to fry the hot pot base.
The light blue apron is matched with a serious face and behavior that is completely different in style.
Wang Yue glanced at the others secretly and found that they were all staring at the hot pot, as if they wished their eyeballs would fall into the bottom of the pot.
Damn! These guys didn’t even remind her!
Wang Yue bit the chopsticks in her hand angrily, not daring to take her eyes off the bottom of the pot.
Shi Jiu saw the bottom of the pot coming up and quickly went to help hold it in place, "Xiao Qin, do you want to change your clothes?"
She felt a little embarrassed when she saw the ill-fitting apron on Qin Lou, but there was nothing she could do. It was the only apron in her kitchen, and if she didn't bring it, her clothes would definitely get dirty.
"It's okay. You have aprons. Just take them off. You can go back and change them after you finish eating." Qin Lou glanced at the four people with an ambiguous look and replied casually.
Four people: We just came to have a meal...
When Shi Jiu saw that everyone was present and the plates were laid out, he opened a can of Coke.
"Come on, this is also our first dinner party at the villa!" She raised her Coke, and the others also raised their glasses. After a clink of glasses, the hot pot began to boil.
"Wow! So cool!" After Shi Jiu took a sip of ice cola, he felt very happy drinking cold drinks and eating hot pot in this warm room!
Just as they were gradually letting go and eating happily, Wang Yue's hand started to make a sound.
She picked up the phone with a frown. Normally, the staff on duty would only call when something happened. Could something have happened outside?
"Sister Wang, there's a large group of people outside, saying they want to see the boss. The leader is Yan Yue." The voice of the temporary duty officer came from the other side of the phone.
"Yan Yue?" Wang Yue felt that the name sounded familiar.
"Huh? That guy is here again?" Shi Jiu was eating freshly blanched beef nearby. When he heard Yan Yue's name, he remembered that this guy had said he would see him in a few days.
"Boss, a group of people came outside. The leader is called Yan Yue. He said he wants to see you to discuss business." Wang Yue briefly explained the situation outside.
"I'll go take a look." The guy came over and said that maybe it would increase her income, which was exactly what she wanted.
As he said this, he stood up, wiped his mouth, put on his coat and walked out.
"You guys eat first, no need to wait for me."
When he got outside, Shi Jiu immediately saw Yan Yue standing in front of him. He looked as if he had lost all hope in life, and there was no trace of his former confident and elegant self.
"Boss! Long time no see!" Yan Yue was very upset that the old man had pulled him to the front while he was hiding at the back of the team, but he became energetic again when he saw the boss.
The boss looks even more handsome than before, with red lips, white teeth, and fair skin with a rosy glow.
Shi Jiu said, how could it not be tender after just coming out of the sizzling hot pot?
"I haven't seen you for several days, Mr. Yan, what's going on?" Shi Jiu saw that there were dozens of people behind him. Compared with last time, there were not only more people this time, but also few familiar faces.
Is this... the psychic from Anhe Base? What does he want to do?
Given the previous outrageous actions of the two base leaders, she instinctively felt that there was something fishy about the other party coming to her at this time.
On snowy days, if you don’t stay in the base to rest, it means that the base can no longer hold on and you have to go out and cause trouble.
Yan Yue forced a smile. "The weather has changed suddenly. I'm here with some people to buy some clothes and supplies. Do you have any thicker clothes?"
This is true. The old man is not so stupid as to go straight to the door and attack. If the opponent is not very strong, he can still defeat him in one fell swoop. But he met a tough guy, and he would be the one to be embarrassed.
So before they set off, they still agreed on a strategy and decided not to act rashly in the early stages. Yan Yue also got tens of thousands of crystal cores from the old man, which were in the backpack behind him. He was going to make a fortune!
"You can go and have a look first if you want anything. It's getting late. Do you want to buy and leave immediately, or..."
"Let's live here first. Do they also need to apply for a membership card?" Yan Yue took out his membership card and handed it over, asking for the latest smart apartment, wanting to try it out.
"I recommend you to apply for it, because now the room card is directly linked to the membership card, and you also need a membership card to consume in the villa. If the balance on the card is insufficient, you can go to the machine that specifically stores crystal cores to apply for it." Every expense in the villa requires crystal cores or Sifang coins, so how can you not apply for it?
So Yan Yue asked his men to line up to handle the process. Shi Jiu saw that it took a long time here, and remembered that he had not eaten enough yet, so he told Yan Yue directly.
"It's getting late today. If you're not in a hurry, we can discuss the quantity you want tomorrow. We can also go shopping at supermarkets and clothing stores. We've got a lot of new items recently."
Yan Yue also wanted to say a few words to the old man, "Okay, Boss, go ahead and do your work. We can discuss it tomorrow. There's no rush."
After giving a few instructions to the staff on duty, Shi Jiu returned to the room.
As soon as I walked in, I noticed they were eating very quietly, without any of the previous atmosphere.
"Did you finish eating so soon?" Shi Jiu was curious and looked at the table. There were still many dishes.
"Not so fast yet. It's just the halftime break. The one outside is..." Qin Lou took a sip of Coke and looked at the people next to him who were drinking drinks silently.
"Yes... yes, I ate too fast just now, so it's time to slow down!" Wang Yue nodded.
"Yes, I went to find the red wine I had saved before. I happened to have eaten something, so drinking it wouldn't hurt my stomach." Lin Ye also had a bottle of well-preserved red wine on his hand. This was a rare good thing he found in the apocalypse.
There were a few bottles before, but they were drunk or wasted one after another. Now there was only one bottle left. After thinking about it, he decided to go and find it.
"Yan Yue, who came before and wanted to make trouble at first, brought a large group of people with him this time. I don't know if he really wants to buy things or cause trouble. Let's see what happens tomorrow. If they want to do something else, they will be sent to the small dark room!"
Shi Jiu saw the clues of Yan Yue and his group, but did not expose them. Before anything happened, everyone was a guest.
She looked at the red wine in Lin Ye's hand and was a little curious. "Eating hot pot with red wine? That's quite an idea!"
She didn't know what red wine tasted like, she had never tasted it before.
The author has something to say:
So, do you want the heroine to drink red wine?
