138: Drop package(1/3)
"Can you really play casually?" Tong Shishi raised her eyes excitedly.
She has been to many scenic spots and monuments, many amusement parks, and has never been to a private castle...
It's very exciting to think about it.
"Of course." Mr. Qi nodded and said with a smile: "My castle is too big, and everything is good, but it lacks popularity. I have no friends abroad. You are welcome to increase the popularity of the castle."
Over the years, Mr. Qi has never made any friends except for business partners.
She has always been alone.
After experiencing some things, she knew that it was better to rely on herself than to rely on anyone!
Tong Shishi smiled and said, "Aunt Qi, then we are not polite." Tong Shishi knew that people like Mr. Qi would not speak politely. She said she could play casually, which means she could play casually.
Moreover, she always felt that when Mr. Qi looked at Mu Qingli, his eyes were a little strange...
The feeling that is unspeakable is just very strange.
"You're welcome," Mr. Qi continued: "You can play casually. If you are tired and have free rooms upstairs, you can rest in which room you like."
Tong Shishi pushed Mu Qingli to President Qi, "Da Meili, we are going to play, you can help President Qi." She intended to leave time for President Qi and Mu Qingli to spend alone.
Tong Shishi is a smart girl. She knows that Mr. Qi is so enthusiastic about them, entirely because of Mu Qingli.
"Okay." Mu Qingli nodded, "Then you go and have fun, I'll leave it to help Aunt Qi."
In fact, Mu Qingli is not very interested in playing.
Mr. Qi smiled and said, "I just don't know the taste of you young people. Let's go, the kitchen is there."
Mu Qingli followed Mr. Qi's footsteps.
Looking at the backs of Mu Qingli and President Qi, Qi Feng whispered: "Little trash, you said we'll go play and leave Aunt Fifth and Aunt Qi to be busy here. Isn't it a bit unfaithful enough?"
Yan Shu said: "I think it's a bit bad, too."
Tong Shishi said speechlessly: "You two usually look very smart, why do you become stupid when the critical moment?"
"What does it mean?" Qi Feng looked puzzled.
"Let's go," Tong Shishi waved to the two of them, "I will analyze it to you while playing."
The two immediately followed Tong Shishi.
The three of them shuttled through the castle, and in a short while, the castle was filled with laughter and joy.
Tong Shishi stood on the wall of the castle, looked at the scenery in the distance and said, "I think there is a story between Aunt Qi and Lili."
"What does it mean?" Qi Feng narrowed his eyes.
"It's literal," Tong Shishi looked at Qi Feng and then said, "Do you remember the last time you said that you saw Aunt Qi crying at Dameili on the plane?"
Qi Feng nodded, "There is something, but I happened to wake up in a sleep at that time, and I don't know if it was an illusion." Although I still remember that scene, according to the current situation, a strong woman like Mr. Qi should not cry easily.
Tong Shishi narrowed her eyes slightly, "From the current situation, it should not be an illusion."
Yan Shu continued: "Actually, it can be judged from Aunt Qi's words that she has always been single and has no relatives and friends around her. Do you think Lili is her long-lost sister? Or other relatives?"
Tong Shishi nodded slightly, "This possibility is not ruled out."
Qi Feng continued: "I think there should be no possibility. Aunt Fifth is now the child of the Gu family. If she becomes President Qi's sister again, wouldn't it be that even President Qi's child also become the child of the Gu family?"
Tong Shishi touched her chin, "It seems that this matter is getting more and more complicated..." Mr. Qi's kindness to Mu Qingli is not fake. Humans are very complex animals. They never treat a person well for no reason.
**
Walking through the garden, Mu Qingli followed Mr. Qi to the kitchen.
The kitchen is very large and magnificent like a palace.
Mu Qingli followed Mr. Qi and was busy.
What surprised Mu Qingli was that although Mr. Qi was a successful person, he was not the kind of person who was not touching the water. She worked in an orderly manner and was obviously a person who was used to doing such things.
Mu Qingli frowned without a trace. According to Mr. Qi's current identity, she didn't have to do everything herself. The reason why she was like this was probably related to her previous experience.
Needless to think about it, there are many unknown sadness hidden behind Mr. Qi's success.
"Lili, do you want to eat crab cocks?" Mr. Qi picked up a box of crab cocks and looked at Mu Qingli.
"Eat," Mu Qingli smiled and said, "We are not picky about food, and we are not happy without meat."
Although Mr. Qi is an elder, Mu Qingli does not feel restrained when standing with her. Instead, she is very relaxed and says whatever she wants.
"Young people eat more meat, and I was also happy when I was young." Speaking of this, Mr. Qi seemed to recall something, and his eyes were involuntarily gloomy for a moment, and it was fleeting.
After saying that, she opened the drawer and said in surprise: "Oh! The hot pot base is gone, Lili, what brand of hot pot base do you like to eat? I bought it and sent it to you."
Mu Qingli continued: "I think you have a complete range of seasonings here, including butter, etc. I'll fry some seasonings, so don't have to buy them."
"You can still stir-fry hot pot base?" Mr. Qi looked at her in surprise.
Mu Qingli nodded in a shallow tone, "The children of poor families were already in their homes. When they were young, they were not in good condition at home in Huashan. When I was seven years old, I would cook and cook by myself."
Mu Qingli said it simply, but Mr. Qi felt uncomfortable.
If it were someone else, she would be a little adult if she was still acting coquettish in her parents' arms at the age of seven.
She should have lived the life of a little princess, but by chance someone was brought to Huashan...
It is unimaginable what life she has lived in the past seventeen years?
Mr. Qi was stunned for a moment and soon realized, "Lili, thank you for your hard work. I'll help you with any seasonings you need."
The two of them were busy in the kitchen for a long time, and they didn't prepare all the hot pot until after 5 pm.
Because of the sufficient ingredients, Mu Qingli specially fried two flavor base ingredients, one with spicy beef and the other with seafood. In addition, she also steamed a basket of osmanthus cakes as a snack by herself.
"Aunt Qi, have you tried this osmanthus cake cooked?" Mu Qingli picked up a golden osmanthus cake and handed it to President Qi.
Mr. Qi was washing vegetables, and he opened his mouth to catch them. The rich fragrance of osmanthus flowers was in his mouth. It was soft and glutinous, with a very good taste, and the lips and teeth remained in fragrance. "The taste was very good, so I didn't need to steam it anymore, it was already cooked."
The way the two get along is very warm.
Mu Qingli inexplicably recalled her childhood. She remembered that when she was a child, she also fed her like this. However, at that time, her grandmother wanted to let her eat more, because once she was on the table, the delicious food had nothing to do with her.
After bringing the double pot and dishes to the table, Mu Qingli called Qi Feng and asked them to come back for dinner as soon as possible.
About 20 minutes after hanging up the phone, Qi Feng, Tong Shishi, Yan Shu and the others arrived late.
Tong Shishi said embarrassedly: "Aunt Qi, Dameili, I'm sorry to let you wait for a long time. This castle is too big. We almost got lost just now."
Mr. Qi said: "It's okay, we don't have a hurry to have a meal."
"It smells so good!" Qi Feng said excitedly: "What brand of base material is this? I will bring a few packs back when I return to China."
Mr. Qi smiled and said, "The hot pot base for tonight was fried by Lili by himself, and you can't buy it outside."
"Damn!" Qi Feng said in shock: "Aunt Fifth Auntie, do you still know how to cook?"
Mu Qingli raised her eyebrows slightly and bragged, "That's right, your fifth aunt is omnipotent!"
"I can go to the hall and go to the kitchen. Aunt Fifth, I really admire you more and more!" Qi Feng hugged Mu Qingli's arm excitedly.
"Okay, okay, sit down and have a meal."
The atmosphere of the five people sitting on a table with hot pot is very good. Looking at the young smiling faces on the table, Mr. Qi suddenly had the illusion of returning to the past.
The side dishes include shrimp slips, beef and mutton, tripe, crab sticks, lettuce, kelp, and red soup in the pot is rolling, with a layer of mist.
Yan Shu and Tong Shishi couldn't eat too spicy food, but they liked to eat pork slices in red pot. After a while, they were sweating profusely and sucked their tongues and found water to drink.
"Aunt Qi, thank you for your kind hospitality today. Coke will be used instead of wine. We will toast you with one cup." Mu Qingli picked up the cup and stood up.
Qi Feng, Tong Shishi, and Yan Shu also picked up their cups and stood up.
"Children, thank you. Actually, my castle hasn't been so lively for a long time." To be precise, it has never been so lively. Mr. Qi picked up the cup and stood up to greet them.
Mu Qingli immediately said, "Aunt Qi, you are an elder, sit down quickly." The etiquette of the table should not be messed up. Mr. Qi, the elder and the four children, could not let Mr. Qi hold a cup to toast them.
Mr. Qi smiled slightly, "Since that's the case, I'll sit down."
As it turns out, Mu Qingli's skills are really good. Not only did the osmanthus cake be eaten, but in the end, he even finished the soup with the hot pot base...
The four of them spent a happy day with Mr. Qi in the castle.
When I finished my meal and returned to the hotel from the castle, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.
Because they were so tired, after returning to the hotel, the four of them returned to their respective rooms and prepared to rest.
As soon as Mu Qingli turned on the light, she was startled by the man lying on the sofa.
This is......
Fu Lanshen?
When will he come?
Mu Qingli blinked and almost thought that she was having hallucinations.
Just then, the man slowly opened his eyes, and he stretched out and rubbed his temples, "Lili is back." Because of the deep sleep, his voice was still a little hoarse.
"Qi, Uncle Qi, when did you come?" Mu Qingli was stunned.
In fact, what Mu Qingli is more curious about is how Fu Lanshen appeared in her room. After all, the safety work of this hotel is still very good, but it seems a bit rude to ask this...
Fu Lanshen stood up and continued, "I just arrived, because there are no empty rooms in this hotel, so I'll come to you to rest. Lili, you probably won't mind, right?"
He asked this, which made Mu Qingli feel a little embarrassed, "No! Of course not," she said tactfully: "But...how did you know that I live here?"
Fu Lan opened her deep thin lips lightly, and didn't hide it. "When I was video yesterday, I saw the decoration style of the hotel behind you. The decoration style of this hotel is very unique, so I found it."
"How did the front desk let you in?" Mu Qingli continued.
Fu Lanshen looked as usual, "Because I showed them the marriage certificate." Yu Luo, Fu Lanshen continued, "The front desk said that there will be an empty room tomorrow, so I may have to sleep on the sofa for the whole night tonight."
To be continued...
