"Ms. Sheng, I have brought all the ingredients you need. Please check them. If there is anything missing, we will deliver it to you in time."
"Thank you, very neat."
"You're welcome."
The two waiters put everything away, smiled, and pushed the cart away.
The building that Sheng Yuan booked was relatively small, with a European pastoral style, and only two exquisite small floors.
The only drawback is.
The kitchen is outside, open and connected to the main building. You can see the entire environment inside the kitchen when standing in the yard.
Perhaps the designer of the manor believed that the target audience of the manor are all rich people who come here to have fun and enjoy themselves, and have never had to do housework. They are all used to a life of luxury and have rarely been to the kitchen since they were born.
Therefore, the designer did not even mark out a location for the kitchen in the building on the original drawing.
This building, which only has a kitchen, is exactly what Sheng Yuan wants.
Everyone at the table was stunned.
He stared blankly at the girl who took out various seasoning bottles and ingredients one by one and placed them neatly on the kitchen counter.
Sheng Yuan is going to cook? Fu Xun raised his eyebrows in surprise, with disbelief clearly written in his eyes.
He immediately questioned and sneered.
This delicate young lady can cook? Are you kidding? Is this edible? Wait -
She couldn't be planning to make it for A Yan.
She must have been cooking on a whim, and then asked A Yan to be her food taster and guinea pig.
She wanted to poison A Yan to death.
Just a few seconds.
Fu Xun has already formed various conspiracy theories against Sheng Yuan in his mind.
Although he was clearly doing the "sneak peek" thing, Fu Xun looked like a dog with a righteous look on his face, his teeth clenched, looking at Sheng Yuan's slender back with fire in his eyes.
He heard the sweet voice of a young girl coming faintly from the other side.
"Shi Yan, can you make a seafood rice, duck blood vermicelli soup, and cheese spare ribs today?"
The boy's low, magnetic voice sounded faintly: "You can do anything."
Fu Xun: “???”
Ah Yan, you were threatened and kidnapped, just blink!!! Then, Fu Xun saw Ah Yan standing next to the sink, cleaning the food with his head down.
Fu Xun: “!!!”
His eyes began to spit fire again.
This Sheng Yuan! He is ordering Ah Yan to do work again! !
—
"Shi Yan, don't do this. Let me do it. You go to the yard to bask in the sun or go to the living room to watch TV. Okay?"
"not good."
As soon as Sheng Yuan finished speaking, she was rejected by the boy.
He lowered his eyes, his dark and clear pupils, just looking at her quietly and silently.
Sheng Yuan struggled for less than a second before compromising.
Shi Yan raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction without leaving a trace, and stayed by her side as he wished.
With a "sizzle" sound.
A splash of olive oil in the hot pan.
Sheng Yuan poured the cleaned and separated shrimp heads in, raised her hand and crushed them slightly with a spatula, and then poured in white wine, water, and finally added some onions.
The base soup for the paella was almost half done, and she went to prepare the ingredients that would be mixed with the rice later.
What Sheng Yuan didn't know was.
Separated by a low wall half a person's height.
Dozens of pairs of eyes looked over at her, staring at her cooking.
The girl lowered her eyes and placed the food and condiments in an orderly and methodical manner. From a distance, her fair and lively little face looked calm and focused.
Her movements were very quick and in a short while, the three dishes were served on the table.
In the huge dinner pot, the rice is placed at the bottom. It has been completely soaked in the orange-yellow soup and has become clear yellow. Two Australian lobsters are placed crosswise on the rice. The red shrimp shell is cut in the middle, and the tender shrimp meat emerges from it. The top is sprinkled with clams, onions and other side dishes.
This seafood rice alone looks appetizing enough.
Not to mention the vermicelli soup with red dates floating on the surface, and the long ribs wrapped in fluffy meat. You can foresee with the naked eye how good these ribs will taste when you bite into them.
The color, aroma and fragrance are all present.
Everyone looked a little confused.
Obviously, he didn't expect that Sheng Yuan could actually cook, and cook so well.
And it was obviously not her first time cooking.
So, when did Sheng Yuan secretly cultivate this skill? ! Everyone's impression of Miss Sheng was refreshed again!
In addition to being able to refresh——
Have a little, greedy.
Suddenly, I felt that the Western steak on the plate in front of me was not as delicious.
Some people looked eagerly at Sheng Yuan, wanting to taste the seafood rice she made... They were so envious of the young master of the Shi family who could have this meal...
…
The phone next to Fu Xun started buzzing again. He picked it up with a sullen face and looked at it impatiently.
[Xiao Jingyu: Fu Gou! Go! Go ask Miss Sheng for some food. Show me you’re hungry! !]
【Xiao Jingheng: I second the motion.】
[You are a beggar.] Fu Xun cursed angrily.
again.
The impression of Sheng Yuan was once again different from what he had expected.
Fu Xun spent the second half of the lunch with a cold face, and he was unwilling to change his opinion of Sheng Yuan easily.
no.
He must find out Sheng Yuan's flaws today, bad flaws.
—
It was a coincidence.
So what now, the second coincidence???
——In the center of the manor, there is a lake. The lake surface is clear and clean, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds clearly. Birds are circling above, and the whole picture is like a landscape painting. The ecological environment here is extremely well protected.
Schools of fish occasionally swim by the bottom of the lake.
Sheng Yuan sat on a small stool and handed a black fishing rod to Shi Yan.
Not long after lunch, the two came to the lake to fish. Lai Lai followed them and curled up on the lawn closest to Sheng Yuan to bask in the sun and sleep lazily. The cat with its snow-white fur was very conspicuous.
And the other side of the lake.
A rich girl in an exquisite half-dress-style dress twitched her lips slightly, looked embarrassed, lowered her voice, and asked the person next to her weakly: "Should we really go fishing here?"
She said, looking like she couldn't believe it herself. This unruly and powerful Mr. Fu's after-dinner activity was so boring - fishing? "My clothes are not convenient for sitting down at all."
"Otherwise, Mr. Fu is here."
The person next to him shrugged helplessly and looked towards the lake. He had already set up a small bench and sat down on it with a bold move. He threw the fishing rod, which had not even been baited, at the man in the lake with a "clang", as if to vent his anger.
It was obvious that he didn't want to fish, but more like he wanted to blow up the lake.
“…”
Mr. Fu is really unruly and unpredictable.
But so what.
Now that everyone has sat down, everyone can only follow along.
In fact, the manor is so large and there are so many entertainment activities that it is dizzying. There is no need for everyone to stay here. Everyone is free to go wherever they want.
But no one left.
They all picked up their small stools and followed Mr. Fu to sit by the lake, praising his frying fish - oh no, fishing skills.
This lake.
They were scattered here and there, like they were sitting in rows, and were surrounded by most of the circle.
The waiters who came to deliver fruit desserts from the manor were amazed at this scene.
So is this the latest trend in the upper-crust circles - group fishing?
Fu Xun had a gloomy face. Most of the fish in the lake were scared away. He started to spy on them again.
The eyes are like scrutinizing searchlights.
Keep your eyes on Sheng Yuan who is fishing over there, and don't miss any clues of her! The phone is vibrating again.
[Xiao Jingyu: Brother, you won't turn back until you hit the wall. You are so stupid. Why don't you believe what we say?]
【Xiao Jingheng: I second the motion.】
[Xiao Jingyu: It’s actually a very simple thing. Don’t keep staring at the little girl. Look at Ah Yan, look at him, and you’ll know.]
【Xiao Jingheng: I second the motion.】
Fu Xun snorted coldly and just took back his phone.
But Xiao Jingheng's words echoed in my mind.
——It depends on A Yan.
Fu Xun's eyes subconsciously looked at Shi Yan.
Coincidentally, at this moment, a girl's soft cry was heard from the other side of the lake.
Sheng Yuan's fishing hook was bitten by a fish.
The fishing rod was immediately lifted up, and a medium-sized silver fish broke out of the water.
"Shi Yan, look!"
The girl held the fishing rod, very excited. With sparkling eyes, she handed the fish to Shi Yan as if showing it. The silver fish jumped in the air, and its tail curved back and forth.
As the fish struggled, a layer of tiny water droplets fell off its body.
The two of them were covered in the splash, and some of it even splashed on their faces.
"Oh, this fish."
Fu Xun watched Sheng Yuan take the fish away with narrowed eyes and put it into the scoop net beside him. Then he shifted his gaze and looked at Shi Yan beside him.
Fu Xun's expression froze.
because.
He saw A Yan and was smiling.
The young man sat there quietly, with no emotion on his cold face, but his thin lips were raised in a shallow arc. When he looked at the embarrassed look of the girl beside him with her face wrinkled, his dark pupils directly increased the arc of joy.
Fu Xun was a little dazed.
The next scene made Fu Xun even more stunned.
Sheng Yuan turned around, with a tissue in her hand, and raised her hand to signal the boy in front of her.
The young man simply moved his body, adjusted his sitting position, bent his long legs, stepped on the ground, faced Sheng Yuan, then bent down slightly, lowered his head, and put his face close to her.
At the same time, he obediently closed his eyes and let her wipe the water droplets off his face.
“…”
Fu Xun felt that Shi Yan in front of him was very strange, he had never seen him before.
But I also feel it is novel.
——All the alienation, coldness, depression and loneliness disappeared.
This moment.
Gentle, mellow, and warm, he possesses all the usual sunny qualities that a young boy should have.
The phone buzzed.
【Xiao Jingyu: How is it? It’s amazing, right?】
This time, Fu Xun raised his eyebrows and did not comment.
