Chapter 264: The Villain’s Tool Aunt (10)
After eating, Huo Shichu rubbed his swollen belly, feeling both pain and happiness. Who wouldn't be happy to enjoy delicious food? But after enjoying it, he had to worry about getting fat. Alas!
Why can't we have the best of both worlds? Huo Shichu thought worriedly and glanced at Fo Baijian. Fo Baijian met her gaze, curved his eyes, and asked her, "Are you satisfied with the meal?"
"Satisfied, satisfied!" Huo Shichu nodded vigorously and said, "The chefs in five-star hotels can't compare to your cooking skills. When you stop being the boss, you can become a famous chef. You don't have to worry about bad business."
Fu Bojian's originally stern expression softened, and he said, "Actually, my dream before was to be a chef."
Huo Shichu widened his eyes: "Do you love cooking?" If a child from an ordinary family, it would be normal to have the ideal of becoming a chef, but as a child of Buddhism, Fo Baijian did not have the right to choose to be a chef.
Fu Bojian nodded, and Huo Shichu immediately understood and said, "That's right. If you are just forced by life and don't really like it, the dishes you make won't be that delicious."
"Seeing others eating the food I made with great fanfare gives me a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. So, if I cook in the future, can I invite you to taste it?"
"Sure. I'm looking forward to it." Huo Shichu's eyes brightened.
Fu Baijian achieved his goal and did not continue. After all, haste makes waste. He still had a lot of time to slowly weave a net so that Huo Shichu could never escape.
Fo Bojian, who had a lot of bad intentions but appeared to be very reliable, stood up to clean up the dishes. Huo Shichu had just finished eating someone else's food, so how could he act like a big boss and let the host clean up the dishes?
So she also stood up to help, and said: "You cooked the meal, so I should wash the dishes, otherwise I will be embarrassed to come and eat for free next time."
Since she said so, Fu Baijian had no choice but to let her clean up.
Seeing the basket of fruit that Huo Shichu brought, Fu Bojian said, "Shall I peel a few mangoes as after-dinner fruit?"
"Okay, these fruits of mine are definitely delicious. If you like them, I can give them to you later as a way of returning the favor." Huo Shichu said.
Fo Baijian did not refuse. Only by giving and taking can we get closer.
He took a few palm-sized golden mangoes and peeled them.
He had eaten many kinds of precious fruits in the world, but the mangoes that Huo Shichu brought were sweeter than the best mangoes he had ever eaten.
Because the skin had not been peeled yet, just by holding it in his hand, Fu Baijian could already smell the rich mango fragrance.
After sharing the fruit after dinner, Huo Shichu returned to his home and continued to work.
Fu Baijian was going back to his usual residence, which was located near his company. This was just a house he bought temporarily in order to be close to Huo Shichu. He was very busy at work and would not live here often. After all, it was too far from his company, and he could only find time to come here two or three times a week.
When he went out, he saw the basket of fruit that Huo Shichu brought. If he didn't come back for a few days, it would rot, right? After a pause, he came back and took the basket of fruit away.
"Uncle Wang, please help me bring this basket of fruits back to the old house. My mother loves durian." After Fu Baijian took a car back to the residential building near the company, he said to the driver Uncle Wang. He mistook the breadfruit that Huo Shichu gave him for a small durian.
Uncle Wang didn't pay attention and agreed.
After returning to the old house, Uncle Wang did not see Old Lady Fo, so he told the servants at home that the basket of fruit was sent back to the old lady by the eldest young master.
The servant took note of it, and when Mrs. Fo came back from outside, she excitedly praised Fo Baijian to her: "Madam, look how filial the young master is! He knows that you like to eat durian, and he specially sent it to you."
"Really? That boy, if he is really filial, why doesn't he come back to see me himself?" Old Mrs. Fo scolded with a smile. Although she said so, she had already walked towards the basket of fruit.
When he touched the round fruit as big as a football, the smile on his face suddenly twitched, and he asked the servant: "The eldest master said this is a durian, is it for me?"
"Yes, the eldest young master specifically asked Uncle Wang to send it back." The servant said confidently.
"Then he should go to the hospital to check his eyesight. This is not a durian." Mrs. Fo rolled her eyes and said, she loves eating durian all her life. What kind of durian has she not eaten in the world? But she has never seen a durian like this. If she used a jackfruit to disguise it as a durian, she might still make a mistake, but using such a "big ball" to disguise it, isn't this a joke?
"What? This isn't durian? What is that?" the servant asked in shock.
"I don't know. Ask the eldest master where he bought it. Could he have been cheated?" said Mrs. Fo. Her son was very smart and wise at work, but not so reliable in life.
Mrs. Fo took a photo of the "big ball" with her mobile phone and sent it to Fo Bojian, asking him, "What did you send back? It's not a durian at all. Were you cheated?"
When Fu Bojian saw the message from his mother, he was silent for a while, then forwarded the photo to Huo Shichu and asked her what kind of fruit it was.
Huo Shichu slapped his forehead. Breadfruit is not a common fruit. Many people have never heard of it, let alone seen it. It is normal that Fu Baijian didn't know it. No one knew what she was thinking at the time. She actually picked this fruit and gave it to him.
But since it has been given to her, there is nothing to hide. Although this breadfruit may be different from the native breadfruit in this world, after all, it is a variety that she had specially cultivated and modified in a certain interstellar world. It is much superior to the current local varieties, but it is a niche fruit after all, and no one knows it, so there is no need to worry about others discovering something unusual.
"It's breadfruit. You can bake, boil or steam it. Try it. It tastes good." Huo Shichu replied to Fo Bojian.
Fu Bojian forwarded Huo Shichu's message to Old Lady Fu. As a filial son who cared for his mother, he searched the Internet for information about breadfruit and sent it to Old Lady Fu, asking her for reference on how to eat it.
Mrs. Fo looked at the information he sent and said with emotion: "There are actually such fruits in the world. I am really ignorant."
Then she told the servant to prepare the breadfruit for her according to the instructions in the information.
The breadfruit served after being roasted is fragrant, with the aroma of mango, passion fruit and bread, rich and tempting.
After taking a bite, Mrs. Fo's eyes suddenly lit up, and she had eaten most of it in a short while.
Then he called Fu Bojian excitedly: "My dear son! Where did you buy that breadfruit? I like it very much!"
Fo Baijian: "Mom, I didn't buy it. It was given to me by a friend."
"Then ask your friend!" urged Mrs. Fo.
Fo Baijian had no choice but to ask Huo Shichu again.
Huo Shichu didn't expect to be asked this question again, so he had to lie and say that he bought it from a proxy. After all, the breadfruit was not native to here. After fooling around for a long time, he finally got away with it. Huo Shichu wiped his sweat and regretted taking out the breadfruit.
