Gu Yun looked expressionlessly at Zhou Mubai, who had been grinning nonstop since he came in, and said with a slight twitch of his lips, "It's just the beginning of autumn now."
"Hmm..." Zhou Mubai came back to his senses: "Hmm? What?"
Gu Yun: "Put away that lustful face of yours. It makes me uncomfortable."
Zhou Mubai forced himself to suppress the smile on his face, and when he was about to serve him the porridge, he suddenly couldn't remember which bowl Su Luo had instructed was his.
He didn't think much about it and casually handed him a bowl of porridge: "You haven't had breakfast yet? Come on, eat! This is something my friend specially made for us."
Gu Yun frowned: "I don't want it."
Zhou Mubai knew that he had many flaws. He had been picky about food since he was young. Apart from the top chefs in Beijing, few people's cooking could satisfy his taste.
When he is out delivering goods, he would avoid eating if possible, and eat as little as possible.
Only the Zhou family's cooks can make the second young master Gu open his mouth and eat something.
But this is Su Luo's intention.
He insisted, "Just try a little! This is specially made by the friend I mentioned to you. Please give it to her for my sake. Don't let her down, okay?"
Gu Yun understood that the other party had called him drunk a few days ago and told him that he was rejected by a woman.
Seeing Zhou Mubai's eyes full of anticipation, he had no choice but to take the porridge reluctantly, intending to take a sip to get by.
Zhou Mubai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him take it, and picked up the bowl next to him with a smile.
In a small white bowl, shrimp, tofu and plump rice are cooked into a sticky and smooth porridge. There are faint traces of green onions and shredded ginger on the surface of the porridge. It is most comfortable to drink in the morning.
Gu Yun was indeed a little hungry as he hadn't eaten anything last night.
He frowned and reluctantly scooped a spoonful of porridge.
After a while, his brows suddenly relaxed.
This porridge is so delicious!
It is smooth and sticky, but the rice grains are soft, glutinous and plump, not at all watery. The shrimps are springy, fresh and sweet, and the green onions and shredded ginger bring out the unique flavor of the shrimps just right.
The tofu inside is also white, tender and refreshing.
There seemed to be a very small amount of salt and a trace of other seasoning added to the porridge, which looked like pepper, but it didn't seem to be it.
He couldn't taste it, but the porridge was so delicious, much more delicious than the porridge cooked by the cooks in his family.
Zhou Mubai was relieved to see Gu Yun was willing to eat it: "Look, I wouldn't lie to you! My friend made it, it must be delicious!"
He also scooped a spoonful of porridge and put it into his mouth.
"Pfft...cough cough cough." Zhou Mubai spat out all the porridge, his face turning red from choking.
Why is it so salty?!
Fortunately, he was sitting far away, on the sofa next to us.
Otherwise Gu Yun would kick someone again.
When Zhou Mubai recovered from his coughing, Gu Yun had already finished the porridge in big gulps and placed the bowl on the bedside table.
He looked at Gu Yun's behavior dumbfounded, and couldn't help but feel touched: "Second Master, you don't have to do this for me."
Gu Yun: “…”
Zhou Mubai felt a little ashamed of himself, and guiltily put his empty bowl and his own bowl on the tray and took it out.
When I came back, Luo Tao had also come up.
The three of them did not delay and began to discuss business.
Gu Yun got straight to the point and said, "Mu Bai, I called you here today because I want you to use the resources of the newspaper to help me find someone."
"Who?" Zhou Mubai asked curiously.
Gu Yun said: "Zhou Xiaomei."
Zhou Mubai: "What are you looking for this person for?"
Luo Tao explained: "This girl is probably around ten years old. Her father is Zhou Guang and her mother is Zhang Xiaohua. We had a batch of goods that were robbed by bandits here. The last clue was that the goods were hidden in a place and locked. Zhou Guang should have told his daughter before he died. If we want to find this batch of goods, we have to find Zhou Xiaomei."
Zhou Mubai nodded in understanding.
The public security in Hong County is indeed not good.
This side is close to the mountains, the terrain is mostly mountainous with few lakes, and it is surrounded by mountains.
On weekdays, there are occasional bandits who specialize in robbing goods on provincial roads and are difficult to catch.
He said, "I can ask my friends at the police station to help, but Zhou Xiaomei's name is not special, so it may take some time to check."
Gu Yun: "Just give me the names and addresses of all those people named Zhou Xiaomei, and I have a way."
Zhou Mubai nodded: "Okay, I'll give it to you as soon as possible."
Gu Yun nodded.
After Zhou Mubai left, Gu Yun said to Luo Tao next to him: "Go and help me with something."
"What?" Luo Tao was frightened by Gu Yun's serious expression, and his back straightened a little.
A gleam of light flashed across Gu Yunmo's deep eyes: "Help Xingsheng Village to check this woman Su Luo. I want to know her situation in the past eight years."
"Su Luo?" Luo Tao looked at him in surprise, then approached him suspiciously: "Second Master, are you really attracted to her?"
"Get lost!" Gu Yun kicked him with his uninjured leg: "Am I that superficial?"
Luo Tao grinned: "You are not shallow, I am shallow! He is very good-looking, awesome!"
"Stay away from her." Gu Yun warned: "If you dare to get involved with her, I will marry you into her family."
Luo Tao shrank his neck.
I became more and more curious about this woman named Su Luo.
Although the Second Master didn't seem to like her, there was no other woman in the whole of Beijing who could make the Second Master so serious about her.
Isn't this her ability?
--
On the other side, Su Luo left the hospital and met an acquaintance on the road before returning home.
"Sister Su Luo!"
A weak female voice called out to her.
Su Luo turned around when she heard the voice and saw a little girl at the corner of the street. She had two big pigtails and looked very pretty and cute.
She couldn't remember who this person was for a moment.
Zhou Xiaomei trotted over: "Sister Su Luo, don't you recognize me? I'm Zhou Xiaomei, and you saved me the last time I went home!"
Su Luo then remembered that this seemed to be the case.
She smiled and nodded. Seeing that Zhou Xiaomei's expression was much more lively than before, she smiled and said, "Why did you come to the county town?"
Zhou Xiaomei's face flashed with shyness: "My aunt said she would take me to the county town to buy clothes."
Su Luo looked her up and down and said, "I think you are very cute and suitable for wearing an overalls skirt. It is very popular now. You can try it."
Zhou Xiaomei nodded vigorously.
"Xiaomei!" A woman not far away called out to them.
Zhou Xiaomei responded and said to Su Luo: "Sister Su Luo, I'm leaving now. Come to my house next time! I'll ask my aunt to make you a lot of delicious food. Thank you for saving me last time."
Su Luo guessed that her aunt was very good to her. The girl who was so timid when they met last time seemed to be in much better spirits today.
She didn't nod, nor did she refuse, but just said, "I'll go play with you next time I have the chance."
Zhou Xiaomei then nodded vigorously and said goodbye to Su Luo with a smile.
Su Luo said goodbye to her and returned to Xingsheng Village.
