Chapter 17 The Original Taste
"It's Weiwei who's back."
Sure enough, as soon as Huo Xiang and Li Guixun walked out, they saw a young girl as dazzling as a princess getting out of the car.
She walked slowly but steadily.
Two women in their forties were with her.
Huo Xiang and Li Guixun stood aside with a smile, waiting patiently for her to come over.
She greeted Li Guixun first: "Brother, I'm back!"
Then she turned her gaze to Huo Xiang and said sweetly, "Brother Huo, hello, I'm Weiwei."
The girl in front of me was like a masterpiece of God. She was so delicate and beautiful, pure and flawless, and had a certain exotic charm that made people forget the world at first sight.
As for her legs, maybe God is jealous of her beauty!
When they got closer, Huo Xiang was suddenly stunned: "Weiwei, have we met before... somewhere?"
Li Weiwei and Li Guixun looked at each other and smiled shyly: "Brother Huo, I'm hungry. I'll tell you after I finish eating, okay?"
Huo Xiang said hurriedly: "Okay! I've prepared everything. I'll cook the noodles right away. It will be ready soon."
When the fragrant noodles were placed in front of Li Weiwei, a familiar feeling came over her instantly.
It is topped with ham, greens, two slices of tomato, and a carrot-carved crown, and at the bottom of the bowl lies a round poached egg.
She finished the bowl while suppressing her nasal drip, then raised her head and said to Huo Xiang with a smile, "Brother Huo, it still tastes the same as before."
Huo Xiang already had the answer in his mind, and he was not in a hurry to know it. Instead, he asked in a gentle voice: "Are you full? Do you want another bowl?"
Li Weiwei nodded.
Huo Xiang then scooped out another small half bowl.
Li Weiwei took a look and found that this time the noodles only contained two slices of ham and an egg yolk, with a carrot butterfly fluttering its wings as if about to fly dotted on top.
While she breathed a sigh of relief, she was also very grateful for Huo Xiang's attentiveness.
She really doesn't like eating vegetables and protein.
As everyone was watching, she finished everything in the bowl.
Everyone was very happy, especially Li Guixun.
He invited Huo Xiang back, not only for his own obvious selfish motives, but also for his sister.
Weiwei is really too thin and could be blown down by a gust of wind.
As an older brother, he really hopes to raise his younger sister well. Not to mention being fat, at least you're healthy!
As for why it was Huo Xiang...
"November 6th two years ago was my birthday. Brother Huo, you did the same thing and made me a bowl of noodles by yourself."
Li Weiwei said with tears in her eyes.
It is true.
It turned out that day was also Weiwei’s birthday.
At that time, Huo Xiang was still studying at a university in another province.
In order to help Yi Qian celebrate his birthday, he secretly ran back and came to the kitchen of the restaurant where he was entertaining guests.
He begged the chef to allow him to use the kitchen so that he could make a bowl of longevity noodles for his benefactor and gave him one thousand yuan as fees for ingredients and venue usage.
When the chef heard that it was for Yi Qian, he was willing to do him a favor and make some extra money at the same time.
He just sent someone to watch over it. After all, it was food, and he would be responsible if anything went wrong.
However, when the waiter brought it into the private room, Yi Qian did not touch it. He just gave a small tip and returned it intact.
Huo Xiang was just outside the box. The waiter returned the noodles to him and took the tip.
He felt a little disappointed, but he didn't leave because he wanted to wait for Yi Qian and give him the gift.
At this time, a girl who looked like a mixed-race girl came up to him, looked at the four big words "Happy Birthday" carved out of carrots, and said, "Brother, this bowl of noodles looks so delicious. If no one wants to eat it, can you give it to me?"
Seeing that she was having trouble walking but was very polite, Huo Xiang said, "This bowl is cold. If you want to eat it, sit down for a while and I'll make you another one, okay?"
The girl was very happy. Huo Xiang protected her all the way, watching her slowly and awkwardly sit back in her seat and wait obediently.
Then he turned and went to the kitchen.
The girl wore a shining crown hairpin on her head, so he carved a carrot crown.
When the girl saw it, she was very happy.
Huo Xiang smiled and left the restaurant to wait for Yi Qian.
"At that time, my brother saw someone selling cotton candy outside, so he walked me to my seat, ordered the food, and went out to buy some. When he came back, he wanted to snatch some noodles from me, but I refused to give them to him."
Li Weiwei said with a smirk.
Li Guixun cleared his throat uncomfortably and pretended to be busy feeding Shunshun carrots.
Huo Xiang thought, could it be that Li Guixun fell in love with him at that time?
No, they didn’t meet that day either.
Forget it, why think about it.
But Li Guixun took care of him for half the night yesterday... He still asked "by the way": "Mr. Li, do you like noodles so much? How about I cook you another bowl?"
"Ah? No need, I, I'm full." He didn't turn around, but his ears turned red.
Li Weiwei couldn't help but cover her lips and laugh.
Huo Xiang felt that Li Guixun was like a paper tiger.
It looks tall and mighty, and quite intimidating. In fact, like a grown-up girl!
However, Huo Xiang was still very happy that what he made was liked.
He said to Li Weiwei, "As long as you like to eat it, you can tell me what you want to eat. If you don't know how to eat it, I can learn it."
Li Weiwei shook her head: "No, I have Sister Zhou! The food she cooks is delicious and she takes good care of me. It's just that I may need Brother Huo's guidance on nutrition occasionally."
These two siblings are really...
Huo Xiang didn't force it, as there was still a long time to live.
"Alright, I'll cooperate with Mrs. Zhou in the future. Weiwei, if you want to eat anything, we'll try to make it delicious and healthy."
Seeing that they were having a good chat, Li Guixun went to work with peace of mind.
Li Weiwei hadn't seen Shunshun for several days and was teasing it by calling it "Auntie".
Shun Shun was very considerate and barked several times. He also performed the "jiguji" and "clapping song" he had just learned, which drew cheers from everyone.
Mrs. Zhou stood beside Huo Xiang and whispered, "Little Teacher Huo, you are the one who has the solution. I have watched Shun Shun grow up. Mr. Li taught him for four or five years, and he tried every possible method, but he only learned one sentence. I never knew he was so smart!"
One sentence?
Could it be the “Xiangxiang, hello” that he heard when he first arrived?
So, Li Guixun knew him four or five years ago?
How is that possible?
Perhaps, that “Xiang Xiang” is someone else!
He comforted himself.
Thinking of this, I felt a little uncomfortable.
He simply stopped thinking about it and focused his attention on Li Weiwei.
For some reason, Huo Xiang always felt that Li Weiwei seemed to be more lively after Li Guixun left.
It's obvious that Li Guixun is very caring towards Weiwei and not serious at all!
Is it bloodline suppression?
Mrs. Zhou was a very enthusiastic person. She became familiar with Huo Xiang in a short while. When she learned that he had served in the army, she immediately slapped her thigh and said excitedly, "Xiaojuan was also a soldier!"
