Chapter 183: Restlessness
Fan Qingqing looked at the handsome chef curiously. She glanced at him twice and quickly turned her head to look away. After a while, she secretly glanced at him again. It was quite interesting.
Qi Yan had studied in Beijing for more than two years. Just by looking at Feng Qingsong's aura,
she knew that he was not an ordinary person. Liu Ying was the same. She wondered that although Du Shaojie was very talented in cooking, he couldn't know such a person, right?
But reality is reality, and you can't deny it.
Du Shaojie ate half full and stood up to toast Feng Qingsong.
Liu Ying also went to join in the fun. Later, the three of them simply shared a table and chatted while drinking.
The night in the mountains was a little chilly, but no one cared.
Feng Qingsong's wife helped the old man go back to rest. Fan Donglin didn't smoke or drink, and couldn't chat with these people, so he went upstairs to watch TV.
It was Fan Qingqing and Feng Qingsong's two children who came to Qi Yan, Xiaomei and others.
When they learned that Qi Yan and Xiao Mei were both college students, the attitudes of the little guys changed immediately. It can be seen that college students are still very valuable these days, and they are respected wherever they go.
After Feng Qingsong drank a few glasses, he felt relaxed all of a sudden.
"Master Du, I'm curious, why do you have a special liking for real estate?"
Just from what Feng Qingsong knew, Du Shaojie had four properties.
Among them, there were two courtyards in Chunfeng Lane, a small second floor near the Central Blood Station, and a two-story building under construction on Hongshan Road.
The building in the Guangyuan Hotel family compound does not count, because it was a unit-allocated house, and the current property belongs to the unit.
"I can't save money, and I spend money lavishly. It's better to turn it into real estate, so that I can leave something behind."
The reason why Du Shaojie likes real estate is definitely because he was afraid of being a "house slave" in his previous life.
In his new life, he doesn't have too lofty ideals, nor does he have the ambition to dominate the world. The world is so big, he wants to go around and see it after Xiaoya goes to college.
The days of financial freedom are so damn good!
But these words cannot be said to others, and one can only find an excuse to perfunctorily deal with it. Fortunately, his reasons can barely justify himself, and no one will delve into it.
"Let's go to the alpine ranch to play tomorrow morning. We will fill our stomachs there first, and ask Master Du to show us his skills after we come back."
Liu Ying took over the conversation and told us about tomorrow's arrangements.
The alpine ranch is deep in the mountains. From here, you have to take the mountain road of Highway 25. But there is a simple road, and the car can drive over.
"No problem, I like to see the scenery."
Du Shaojie clinked glasses with the two of them again, and the bottle of wine was just bottomed out.
When they finished here, Feng Qingsong's children and Fan Qingqing had already become friends with Qi Yan, Liang Meiqin, and Xiaomei and Xiaoya sisters.
The next day.
Everyone got up early, went to the cafeteria to have breakfast, and then took a car to the alpine ranch.
The scenery in the deep mountains is more beautiful. When they arrived at the ranch, someone received them and took them to a large felt house.
The host prepared snacks, fruits, cheese and beef jerky in advance, and served fragrant milk tea as soon as they sat down.
"Young men and women, go ride horses, don't be afraid, the horses are specially selected by us, and they are very gentle."
The host arranged a program for the young people, and Qi Yan, Xiao Mei and Xiao Ya were so happy.
Fan Qingqing and the Feng brothers and sisters were also very happy, only Liang Meiqin lowered her head and was unhappy.
"Meiqin, I will help you walk around. The scenery here is picturesque, I will tell you."
Du Shaojie asked Qi Yan and others to go and play, and he helped Liang Meiqin walk out of the yurt and strolled among the quiet green grass.
Liang Meiqin's mood immediately improved, and she asked Du Shaojie to carefully describe the surrounding scenery. She quickly sketched a landscape painting in her mind.
The two slowly moved away from the sight of everyone and walked to the bottom of a gentle slope.
"Let's sit here for a while."
Du Shaojie was afraid that Liang Meiqin would be tired, so he helped her sit under a pine tree.
"I'm sorry, you didn't go horseback riding in order to accompany me."
The two sat side by side, Liang Meiqin naturally leaned on his shoulder, feeling very relieved.
Although she usually behaved very strong, she had been blind for such a long time, and her heart had gradually become sensitive and fragile.
"When can't I ride a horse? Meiqin, don't think too much, let's sit for a while and go back."
Feeling the other's body temperature, Du Shaojie couldn't help but feel a little restless in his heart.
"No. Didn't you say there was a small hill in front of us? Can you help me up? I want to feel the breeze on the hillside and pick some wild flowers to take back."
Liang Meiqin refused to go back so early, so Du Shaojie had to pull her up the high slope.
The terrain of the hillside was relatively flat, and there were winding and winding paths. It was not very difficult to pull Liang Meiqin up.
The terrain on the top of the hillside was very flat, and there were wild chrysanthemums everywhere. Red, yellow, white, colorful, even Du Shaojie couldn't help but admire it.
Then, he told this scene to Meiqin.
Liang Meiqin laughed as she listened: "Thank you, Shaojie, I am really happy that you took me to see a different scenery today."
"Should there be some reward?"
The words came out of his mouth without thinking.
Du Shaojie usually doesn't speak like this. The times are different. Most people in this era are very simple, especially in terms of men and women.
Liang Meiqin didn't care at all, and even moved closer to him: "What reward do you want?"
Du Shaojie naturally embraced her in his arms, hugged her gently, and said in her ear: "Go to Hong Kong to treat your illness well, don't think too much, do you hear me?" It
was the first time he was so close to her, and suddenly he found that Meiqin had a full figure.
"Yeah, I know."
Liang Meiqin's face was flushed, from her face to the root of her neck.
Du Shaojie immediately let go of his hands and sat on the ground with her.
Blue sky and white clouds, green grass and wild flowers, breeze blowing, the two sat quietly, no one spoke.
Later, when they returned to the yurt, the herdsman uncle had slaughtered a sheep. A big pot was set up outside the yurt. It seemed that they were having [clear stewed mutton] for lunch today.
He didn't intervene, because he was not used to the original way of cooking.
Not to mention, when the meal started, he ate a piece of meat and drank a few sips of soup, and the taste was unexpectedly good.
"Uncle, do you have any tips for making clear-cooked mutton?"
Du Shaojie saw the opportunity and asked the herdsman uncle for advice.
Feng Qingsong and Liu Ying both heard this and looked at Du Shaojie in surprise.
The herdsman uncle is not a chef. With Du Shaojie's cooking skills, why did he ask for advice?
"Haha, there is no trick. We rarely use seasoning when we make this."
The herdsman uncle was very happy. It felt good to be recognized by the guests.
He then talked about a few key points of making [clear-cooked mutton], and Du Shaojie nodded, which was considered a small gain.
When he returned to the sanatorium in the afternoon, Du Shaojie started to get busy. The canteen still sent two young people to help him, so he handed the rough work to the two.
There are more girls in the evening, so a dish of [sweet and sour pork tenderloin] must be there.
Feng Qingsong's taste tends to be light, and the other party will definitely like [vegetarian assortment] and [wild mushroom stewed chicken soup].
There are also [Daqian Dry-fried Fish], [Beef Stew], [Braised Lamb Chops], [Tiger Skin Eggs], [Fish-flavored Eggplant Casserole], [Dry-fried Beans] and [Braised Pork].
Du Shaojie quickly gathered 10 dishes based on the inventory of the sanatorium cafeteria.
The conditions in the sanatorium are still good, but there are no delicacies from the mountains and the sea. The only rare thing is wild dried mushrooms. This thing is the most fragrant when stewed in soup, especially when stewed with old hens.
"Let's eat!"
10 dishes are a little bit too few for so many people, but Du Shaojie deliberately increased the amount, so each dish is full.
For example, for Daqian Dry-fried Fish, he made two fish, so that each person would not take a chopstick and it would be gone.
After two days of playing, this is the only meal that looks decent.
Fortunately, the dining table on the first floor is big enough, otherwise it really can't accommodate so many people.
Everyone ate very happily, especially Feng Qingsong. He has been busy recently and has no time to go to Du Shaojie's place. The glutton in his stomach has been impatient for a long time.
"Delicious! Really delicious!"
Qingqing and Feng Qingsong's two children saw Du Shaojie's real cooking skills, and their eyes were full of stars when they looked at Du Shaojie.
They had heard of each other's name before, but they didn't care much. Today, they ate so many delicious dishes, and the other party was young and handsome, and it seemed that they had found their idol all of a sudden.
"This guy's cooking skills have improved again! Meiqin, eat some fish, I have picked out the fish bones."
Qi Yan muttered softly while taking care of Liang Meiqin.
She now has no idea where Du Shaojie's limit is. As a college student, she seems to be less and less able to stand up in front of him.
Liang Meiqin didn't say anything, but just ate silently with a smile on her face.
"This meal is so comfortable! Master Du, come, let's have a drink. After this glass of wine, I'm going to leave first. You stay here tonight, and there will be a car to take you back tomorrow."
Feng Qingsong rarely has two days off. He originally thought of going back tomorrow, but the phone call had already reached here, and he had no choice.
Du Shaojie raised his glass to signal, but the two were a little far apart, so they couldn't even reach each other to clink glasses.
"I'm leaving too, Master Du. You and your family and friends can enjoy one more day. There's a car to take you there tomorrow afternoon."
Liu Ying also had things to do at work, and since Feng Qingsong was leaving, she didn't want to stay here any longer.
Only Du Shaojie seemed to have no choice, but the scenery here was beautiful and very quiet, so what was there to be unhappy about enjoying one more day?
Later, a service staff member led Du Shaojie and others to the main building of the sanatorium. After Feng Qingsong left, it was not suitable for them to live in this courtyard, so they should move to another place to feel more comfortable.
Three rooms were arranged for them, one for Du Shaojie, one for Liang Meiqin and Qi Yan, and one for sisters Du Xiaomei and Du Xiaoya.
The so-called sanatorium wards are actually the same as hotel rooms. Each room has a bathroom and you can take a shower. It looks quite clean.
