Chapter 020: I Don’t Remember
I can't stop eating one by one.
After dinner, Xie Luoshu and Yanyan lay on the sofa watching TV.
[It's a bit boring. I always feel like something is missing. 】
Yanyan moved her little ears.
Zizi can hear his dad's voice again.
At this time, Chef Wang brought a plate of fried shrimp slices and two cups of hot milk.
The fried shrimp chips look like delicate golden petals. They are very large, about the size of a palm.
The rich aroma of fried shrimp chips hits my nose. The aroma of fried food, the light fresh shrimp flavor mixed with the salty aroma.
"Here, baby."
Yanyan grabbed the fried shrimp chips with both hands and took a big bite.
"Crunch." You can tell how crispy it is just by the sound when you take a bite. The umami and saltiness are just right, and you can't stop eating.
The hot milk is rich and fragrant. It tastes like pure milk but has no fishy smell.
"Why did Chef Wang think of making this?" Xie Luoshu asked casually.
"I see there's another bag in the refrigerator, and it's about to expire..."
"Yes." Xie Luoshu nodded in understanding. "By the way, what will Chef Wang have for breakfast tomorrow morning?"
"Tomorrow morning?" Chef Wang took out his phone. "Let me take a look at the menu."
Xie Luoshu glanced at him and said, "You didn't order the dishes?"
"Haha." Chef Wang put down his phone and shook his head a little awkwardly. "I can order yours, but the nutritionist ordered the young master's."
"Nutritionist?" Xie Luoshu stuffed a piece of fried shrimp into his mouth, licked his fingers subconsciously and quickly took a tissue.
"Yes!" Chef Wang saw that Xie Luoshu was indeed different from before as Aunt Liu said, and he was not careful with his words, so he blurted out everything. "You don't know, I made these delicacies for the young master tonight and the nutritionist found out. He kept talking about me on WeChat."
【Is there such a thing?】
Xie Luoshu motioned for Chef Wang to continue.
Chef Wang started talking, sitting on the sofa and slapping his thigh: "You said the young master wanted to eat this, so of course I have to make it for him, right? Last time I made a potato pancake for him, but he insisted it was unhealthy and kept telling me off for days!"
Xie Luoshu took a sip of hot milk and said, "That nutritionist, doesn't he live here?"
"Yes." Chef Wang was speechless after thinking about it. "He just came for a while when he took office, and then left. After that, he sent me WeChat messages and recipes. He asked me to cook for the young master according to the recipes every day."
"Did Mr. Gu invite you?" Xie Luoshu grabbed Yanyan's little hand, "How many pills did you eat?"
Yanyan felt a little guilty and turned her head away from looking at Xie Luoshu.
I don’t know, I don’t remember.
"Don't you remember?" Xie Luoshu held Yanyan in his arms, "Baby, you don't remember, but Daddy does. You can't eat it anymore."
"It was Mr. Gu who invited them." Chef Wang nodded. "I know it's for the young master's benefit, but there are some things that the young master doesn't like to eat."
"If you don't like it, just don't make it." Xie Luoshu touched Yanyan's cup of hot milk, and when he was sure it wasn't scalding, he handed it to Yanyan.
"Oh, no." Chef Wang waved his hands, his expression indescribable. He looked around and saw that no one was in the living room at this time. Chef Wang whispered, "Besides, I suspect there is a nutritionist here."
"What do you mean?" Xie Luoshu's expression became serious. "Chef Wang, you must be responsible for what you said."
"It's true." Chef Wang nodded affirmatively, "Doesn't the young master dislike boiled eggs?"
Xie Luoshu nodded. Indeed, he had discovered this during the last meal.
"Last time, I secretly replaced the boiled eggs in the recipe with egg custard. As soon as I finished breakfast, the nutritionist sent me a message." Chef Wang clicked on the WeChat message, "Look, this is the chat record."
What Chef Wang said was true. The chat record between Chef Wang and the nutritionist. Apart from the recipe opened by the nutritionist, there was a long paragraph of conversation. It can't be said to be cursing, but it looks weird at first glance.
"What's the name of this nutritionist?" Xie Luoshu returned the phone to Chef Wang.
"I don't know." Chef Wang shook his head. "He didn't say anything about his name. We don't need to know his name anyway."
"I understand." Xie Luoshu waved his hand, "Take these away and eat them yourselves. Next time you can tell me directly if something like this happens."
Chef Wang was stunned, held the phone tightly, and then said, "Okay, I understand, Mr. Xie."
Yanyan held the glass in both hands and drank the warm milk in small sips. Xie Luoshu pulled a handful of Yanyan's short hair.
[I wonder what the general manager’s attitude is towards nutritionists.]
Daddy? I don't know, but my son doesn't like him.
Yanyan drank the milk "gulp gulp". Yanyan's cup was not big, and he only poured half a cup. He finished it in a short while.
After yesterday, Xie Luoshu was already able to help Yanyan brush her teeth and wash her face and coax her to sleep. He also told Yanyan a story from Pinocchio, which caused Yanyan to fall asleep with his little hand on his nose.
"Is everyone here?" Xie Luoshu sat on the sofa.
Steward Lin said, "We are all here, thank you, sir."
"Okay." Xie Luoshu looked around and said, "Please introduce yourselves, the four of you."
There were quite a few people in the house. In addition to housekeeper Lin, chef Wang, driver Li and Aunt Liu, there were four other women. One of them was the one who woke him up earlier. One was the one who cleared the dishes during his breakfast. Xie Luoshu was not sure about the other two. That was why he asked them to introduce themselves.
The four servants were all responsible for sanitation. The one who woke Xie Luoshu up and the other one who was at the door of Xie Luoshu's room were responsible for sanitation upstairs.
The servant who cleaned the dishes was responsible for the hygiene of the lower floor. Another servant was responsible for daily living and gardening, such as washing clothes.
Except for Aunt Liu, everyone else came here with Mr. Gu from his hometown.
"You should all be smart people, so I won't waste my words on you..."
Xie Luoshu knew about Yanyan's situation, and they should all know it. Steward Lin must have said it too. But for some reason, they didn't do what Steward Lin said. Steward Lin was not the master, so it was difficult for him to say anything.
But it's different now that he's here. Tonight is more of a show of authority than a meeting.
"Did you understand everything?" After saying so much, Xie Luoshu felt thirsty, so he drank some water to moisten his throat.
"clear."
"If nothing unexpected happens, I will stay with Yanyan all day." Xie Luoshu looked at them with a half-smile, "So, you must keep your word. Everyone, go away. Butler Lin, please stay for a while."
"Mr. Xie, is there anything else you need me to do for you?" It was getting late and Butler Lin was feeling a little sleepy.
Xie Luoshu didn't waste any more time and went straight to the point: "How much do you know about that nutritionist?"
Nutritionist?!
"Not much." Steward Lin shook his head. "I only know that it was stuffed in by someone from our family."
"Oh?" Xie Luoshu raised his eyebrows, "He was not invited by President Gu."
"No." Butler Lin continued, "But this nutritionist is a bit...stubborn and doesn't like..."
"Stubborn?" Xie Luoshu put down the water cup, and the glass cup collided with the tea table, making a crisp sound that was particularly clear. "It's better to say that you are self-righteous, self-willed, and stubborn!"
"Thank... Mr. Xie." Butler Lin did not expect Xie Luoshu to be so angry.
Xie Luoshu stood up and walked towards Steward Lin: "This is something Yanyan doesn't like. Chef Wang knows that if he doesn't like it, he won't make it. He insists that Chef Wang make it. What does this mean?"
Butler Lin was silent.
"Chef Wang was bombarded with information because he didn't follow his wishes. He was even threatened. What does this mean?" Xie Luoshu stood beside Steward Lin, turned his head slightly and stared at Steward Lin, "Standard Lin, don't tell me you don't know anything."
"Mr. Xie." Butler Lin lowered his head, "I can't control this matter."
"You can't do anything about it? What about Mr. Gu? He can't do anything about it either?"
"He..." Steward Lin stammered.
"Okay." Xie Luoshu put his hand on Butler Lin's shoulder, "Butler Lin, starting from tomorrow, Chef Wang and I will prepare Yanyan's three meals together. As for the nutritionist, if he doesn't like it, let him come to me in person."
"yes."
"And more. After all, you are the housekeeper, the servant of the family, so you still have to take good care of it. I don't want to say it again." After saying that, Xie Luoshu went upstairs without looking back, "By the way, remember to buy some more dinosaur toys and dolls for Yanyan, including shark ones."
Xie Luoshu felt that Steward Lin was very good to Yanyan, and that was obvious. But it was not necessarily the case with the servants. Steward Lin was very busy, and most of his attention was on Yanyan, so it was not his fault that he could not keep an eye on those people.
And... the family. It seems that wealthy families are not simple. Xie Luoshu had searched on the Internet before, but didn't find anything. I thought that Mr. Gu had built his business from scratch and became big and strong. Now it seems that there is a lot of water behind this.
But why did President Gu marry someone with a bad reputation in the entertainment industry?
Xie Luoshu lay on the bed, thinking over and over, but couldn't figure it out, and fell asleep unknowingly.
Fortunately, Xie Luoshu set the alarm and got up early the next day to make breakfast for Yanyan. Xie Luoshu was very excited. He had searched for recipes online in advance and made a menu based on Yanyan's preferences.
"Chef Wang, what do you think of this menu?" Xie Luoshu wrote the menu on a light blue note paper. His handwriting was neat and beautiful, and it was pleasing to the eye.
"Hmm." Chef Wang thought about it carefully, "I think it's okay. The young master will like it. I'll make it now."
"I'll help you." Xie Luoshu rolled up his sleeves.
Chef Wang was startled and stopped him, saying, "No, no, no, no thanks. This is my job. How can I trouble Mr. Xie?"
"Chef Wang, it's no trouble." Xie Luoshu opened the refrigerator. "I plan to learn some cooking skills. I saw that in the last season of the children's variety show, many times adults cooked for themselves, so it's better to be prepared."
"Is that so?" Xie Luoshu also mentioned this matter last night. Chef Wang patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Xie. My cooking skills are really good."
"Then I'll trouble Chef Wang."
Xie Luoshu's menu today was vegetable and shrimp porridge, grilled sausage, scallion egg pancakes, and cherry tomatoes.
The operation is not complicated.
Prepare rice, prawns, mushrooms, corn kernels, carrots, and greens. Shell the prawns and marinate them slightly.
Use stir-fried shrimps to make red oil, then add mushroom slices and continue stir-frying, then add appropriate amount of water and boil.
After boiling, put the washed rice into the stew pot, add corn and carrot grains, and stew until the rice blooms. Add shrimp, pepper and salt to taste, and when the shrimp turns red and is cooked, add the chopped greens and cook for a while before serving.
