Chapter 406 Secret Dinner(1/2)
But even so, Chen Nian could still feel that the relationship between the two was gradually heating up.
But even so, Chen Nian still doesn't know what the other party is about him. After all, he can't ask about this thing directly.
As mentioned before, this is the first time Chen Nian has had this kind of relationship with a girl. When she was in junior high school, high school and even college, many girls pursued Chen Nian because she was handsome and well-educated.
But firstly, Chen Nian had never thought about this at that time, and just wanted to focus on studying. Secondly, Chen Nian had no feelings for them, although there were many beautiful girls among them.
But it feels like this kind of thing is not like peeing. Even if you don’t want to squeeze hard, you can squeeze out a few drops. If you say that there is no emotion, it means there is really nothing.
From that time on, he felt that many of his peers in the class were childish, regardless of boys or girls, especially when they fell in love in high school. Such things could be maintained until they got married later, so there were very few pitiful things.
He can't care what others think, but at least this kind of thing is meaningless in Chen Nian's heart.
But it was not until Chen Nian met An Hongdou that he suddenly realized that he did not think that falling in love was meaningless, nor did he think that those girls were naive, but that he had not met the right person.
While thinking about these, I steamed buns, and started preparing to make small noodles.
An Hongdou ran outside to answer a call.
The phone was answered a little long, and after a while, Aged Nian had already started cooking noodles and An Hongdou was not back.
"I cook the noodles a little harder... and then you can watch the peppers and peppers yourself..."
After seeing An Hongdou come back, Chen Nian said skillfully that he knew that An Hongdou likes to be a little harder when eating noodles, and also knew that An Hongdou's taste sometimes changes with his mood.
Sometimes I have a stronger tolerance for spicy food and eat more spicy food, but sometimes it is like I am in a bad state, and a slight spicy food can make it sweat continuously.
After pouring the anhong beans and mixing their own soup base, Agedan pours the broth into it. At this time, the noodles are also cooked. Turn off the heat and put the noodles into a bowl, add beef toppings, sprinkle with scallion and coriander, and complete the movement in one go.
"Okay, this is your beef noodles, and the buns will be ready soon. I'll take them out later."
An Hongdou nodded, then brought the bowl of noodles to the table outside by himself. Not long after, Chen Nian also brought a bowl of noodles, as well as a tray of small buns and two small plates.
There are vinegar and chili on the table in Honghong Hotel, which you need to make yourself.
After a long time in Sichuan, An Hongdou naturally followed the customs. He first poured a little vinegar into the bowl, then picked a large piece of chili and put it in a small plate to stir evenly. The red oil floated on it.
But An Hongdou did not eat the buns first, but instead focused her attention on the small noodles.
Although Chen Nian really wanted to hold his elbows on the table and hold his chin with both hands to watch An Hongdou eat, it would be too rude to do that, and he also seemed particularly obsessed.
Now I can only pretend to be very natural and eat noodles.
At first, An Hongdou was still eating in small mouthfuls. After all, she still wanted to be a little lady in front of Chen Nian and left a good impression on the other party. As a result, Chen Nian didn't care about her image, and the recipe was really delicious.
She also gradually began to make noises while eating noodles.
"Yes, this is what you need to eat noodles. What kind of flavor can you taste when eating noodles with small stutters? If this is Yangchun noodles, it may be a little more stylish when eating small stutters, but Chongqing noodles emphasize the atmosphere of a river and lake, so you should naturally be a little bolder." Chen Nian appreciated An Hongdou's behavior of being so close to the atmosphere of life.
"Of course, although I can't make it, I've eaten Chongqing noodles. I've also written the song Chongqing noodles before. In order to write this song, I have also checked a lot of information. I may not understand the method of making it, but I don't know less about the background of this bowl of noodles than you." An Hongdou said proudly.
"I want to listen to this song again when you say this." Chen Nian suddenly put down his chopsticks and was about to get up.
There is a speaker in the store, and after nine o'clock every day, the old people will basically turn it off to avoid disturbing nearby residents.
As a result, when An Hongdou heard that Chen Nian was going to play her song, she quickly stood up to stop her: "No!"
"What's wrong?" Chen Nian turned his head in confusion, "This is too shameful. How can you play other people's songs in front of others? It's as embarrassing as reading your own text in front of the whole class when you were a child."
"Oh, that's how I'm not thinking carefully. I'll put it down again when the day is tomorrow." Chen Nian sat back again.
He just did it on purpose, teasing An Hongdou. Seeing her embarrassed and shy look, Chen Nian felt extremely happy.
The buns today did taste much better than yesterday, but Chen Nian took a look at the recipe and found that the progress on the recipe was only 97%, which made Chen Nian feel a little strange.
Generally speaking, if all the ingredients are placed correctly and the proficiency is not enough, it will not get stuck above 97%.
97% means that you are not doing enough in at least one small detail. It may be that a seasoning that is not that big or related to the temperature or heat, and the duration of steaming buns.
But it doesn't have that much impact on taste, but it's not possible to do that.
"What's wrong?" An Hongdou couldn't help but ask curiously when she saw Chen Nian frowning.
"It's nothing, but this bun is not very successful yet. I need to improve it, but I can't think of what specific problem is there for a while." Chen Nian explained.
"Isn't this okay? It's delicious!" An Hongdou was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Chen Nian had such strict requirements on cooking.
"The buns I ate outside also tasted the same. Even this one is more delicious than the buns in the small shops outside. The noodles are soft and the filling is oily. There is no problem with whether it is the bun skin or the stuffing of the bun."
An Hongdou expressed great confusion about Chen Nian's doubts.
"I feel that's OK, but I feel that there may be some mistakes in any step. In short, there is still room for improvement."
"Then I may not be able to help you." An Hongdou showed an incomprehensible expression. She really couldn't help Chen Nian.
"It's okay, I'll just look back and study this slowly. Is your noodles enough? If not enough, I'll cook a little." Chen Nian turned around and pulled the topic back, not wanting these worries to affect the secret dinner of the two of them today.
"Enough is enough... I must not add it. After eating these today, I will have to go back at least two o'clock to go to bed at night. Moreover, I can't eat this cage of buns anymore. Can I pack them back and eat them again and again tomorrow morning?"
An Hongdou quickly waved his hand and said that he really couldn't eat it anymore.
Chen Nian heard that An Hongdou wanted to pack the buns and take them away, and naturally he would not refuse: "That's fine, I'll find you a fast food box."
Chen Nian sucked the last bite into his mouth, then got up and went to the kitchen to find a fast food box, but when he came out, he held another tray of buns in his hand.
"There are only three buns left in the cage just now. Let's have another tray. Otherwise, the three small buns will be enough to eat tomorrow morning, and you will finish it before you can get enough."
While saying that, he put the small buns into the lunch box and covered the lid.
"When you go back, wait until it cools down before putting it in the refrigerator."
"Okay." An Hongdou nodded.
But after saying that, he looked at the back of Chen Nian who was holding the bowl on the table and going back to the kitchen...
"Chennian." An Hongdou suddenly called Chennian.
"What's wrong?" Chen Nian turned over in confusion.
An Hongdou looked at Chen Nian turning his head and smiled unconsciously: "It's okay, I just tell you that I might be on a business trip tomorrow. There is an official cooperation in Yangzhou. They called me just now, but after I asked, I can finish my work in just three or five days."
"Then you have to be careful. If you have anything to do, you can call me." Chen Nian smiled with relief after hearing this: "You have received a new job and have taken another step to buying a house."
Then Chen Nian cleaned up the kitchen, wiped the table outside, closed the store door, and prepared to go home.
Walking shoulder to shoulder, An Hongdou delivered to the entrance of the community.
"Then you go back first. You have to take a plane tomorrow and don't leave things behind." Chen Nian reminded.
After hearing this, An Hongdou nodded: "Don't worry, I'm not a child. I think I was also a person who was wandering around the world with a suitcase. How could I not even be able to do such a small matter when going out? But I plan to visit Teacher Yu after finishing the work at hand. Do you have anything to say to Teacher Yu?"
Chen Nian thought for a while: "Then please take me to say hello to Teacher Yu and Teacher He."
"Okay, I will definitely bring you this for you." An Hongdou said and headed towards the entrance of the community step by step.
As he walked, he turned his head and waved his hand to Chen Nian: "Don't look at me anymore, you can go back too!"
Chen Nian also waved his hand, then turned around and headed towards his home.
But I took two steps and couldn't help but look back...
At this time, An Hongdou also turned around and the two looked at each other.
They started to laugh at each other for no reason. Finally, An Hongdou finally waved to Chen Nian as a driving force, asking Chen Nian to go back as soon as possible.
Then he jumped back to the community.
Before I got home, I received An Hongdou’s WeChat on my phone.
"I'm home now."
"Then you should take a break, I will go back soon."
"Okay, but remember to send me a message after you get home."
"no problem."
But saying that's the case, Chen Nian went home chatting and typing with the other party.
"I'm home, too, let's not talk about it."
"Okay, good night."
"Good night."
...
Chen Nian did not make much noise after returning home, because now it is not just his mother at home, and his cousin Lu Xiao is also temporarily living in his home.
Fortunately, there are three bedrooms in the house. Feng Honghong lives in the master bedroom, Chen Nian lives in the second bedroom, and the other room is empty all year round, and occasionally puts some unwrapped clothes, but if guests come, they can also be used as a guest room.
But Lu Xiao didn't plan to live here for a long time. Since she had decided on the store, what she had to do now is to prepare to start the renovation, and on the other hand, to find a house nearby.
Lu Xiao handed over the matter of finding a house to the agency. Although he had to charge one month's rent as an agency fee, he at least saved himself from running away.
And it is not that easy to rent a house now, especially the ones that find direct renters.
Even if there are many advertisements and phone calls posted in the community bulletin board, they are often intermediaries when they call.
Anyway, Lu Xiao is not married, so living alone doesn’t require a large room, one bedroom and one living room is enough.
These days, Lu Xiao either travels outside to see some decoration materials every day, or communicates with designer Han Dongqing, or goes to see the house.
So I was very tired all day long, so Chen Nian naturally didn't want to disturb the other party's rest.
