In Li Shi's eyes, egg dumplings are naturally dumplings, but it remains to be tested whether the egg dumplings made by Wang Yuelan are delicious and whether they can be eaten.
Home-cooked meals feed people.
He found a cooking aunt because he wanted to be able to eat home-cooked dishes that suit his appetite at any time. Chili fried pork and spicy fried pork ribs were his two favorite side dishes. The more famous delicacies here, vegetables and soup, are indispensable combinations for a formal meal.
Finally, after some discussion, the vegetables were stir-fried with greens and the soup was decided to be the egg dumpling soup suggested by Wu Yuan.
These are not difficult dishes, but whether they are delicious or not is a test of the cook's skills.
After deciding on the dishes to try, Wang Yuelan proposed to go to the kitchen to have a look first.
After arriving in the kitchen, she carefully checked the kitchen utensils and condiments. When she encountered equipment that she didn't know how to use, she was not embarrassed and directly asked Li Shi and Wu Yuan how to use it.
Li Shi couldn't help but nodded secretly when he saw the attitude of "finally arriving in my territory" that she unconsciously showed when she entered the kitchen - she looked like someone who cooks frequently.
When she opened the refrigerator, Wang Yuelan was stunned for a moment.
The refrigerator has a large capacity, but it is empty. There is only one layer filled with sports drinks and bottled water, and a few facial masks.
She turned to Li Shi and said, "Teacher Li, we only have oil, salt, soy sauce and rice at home. It seems that we need to buy more things."
Li Shi smiled and said, "When we get to the supermarket later, I'll help you, sister-in-law, to help me pick out the things I need."
When Wang Yuelan saw that Li Shi was so polite and discreet, she felt relieved and said quickly: "Okay, okay, that's right."
Next to her, Wu Yuan secretly took a closer look at the facial masks in the refrigerator.
The silver packaging has red writing like "SK-II" on it. She recognizes this internet celebrity mask and has even used it before. The price in domestic counters is eighty or ninety yuan a piece.
She blinked, looked away for two seconds, and closed the refrigerator door.
Although it is not uncommon for men to use facial masks nowadays, and almost all male artists in the entertainment industry use them, she and Li Shi spent several days in the same room in Dali, and she knew that Teacher Li's face was actually very smooth to the touch. , purely due to his natural beauty, he is a man who doesn’t even use facial cleanser.
These facial masks must have been left behind by a certain woman.
She doesn't have any complicated emotions - she just wants to have fun now.
After coming out of the kitchen, the three of them went downstairs together, drove for ten minutes to the nearby Metro member supermarket, and purchased some kitchen supplies, ingredients and seasonings.
After returning home, Li Shi's cell phone rang as soon as he entered the door. When he took it out, he saw that it was Lu Congwei calling from Myanmar.
Connected.
Lu Congwei fell in love with a stone in Myanmar. In order to reduce the risk, he planned to find a few people to buy it together and called him to ask if he was interested.
This is a common practice within the jade industry.
After Li Shi asked about the specific situation, he asked him to take a video and take a look.
When he answered the phone, Wang Yuelan and Wu Yuan came to the kitchen first with their things. Wang Yuelan put on the floral apron she just bought in the supermarket and prepared to start work. Wu Yuan originally wanted to help her, but she stopped her.
"Xiaoyuan, I can do it alone. You can go to the living room and chat with Teacher Li. It should be ready in an hour and a half. The egg dumplings need to be made fresh, so it will take more time."
Seeing that she was serious, Wu Yuan responded with a smile and came to the living room.
Li Shi happened to finish his phone call and came over to meet her: "I'll go to the kitchen to say hello to your sister-in-law first."
"Um."
Wu Yuan did not follow him, but walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down to wait for him.
Li Shi arrived in the kitchen, where Wang Yuelan was washing peppers in front of the basin.
"Sister-in-law, you have been working hard at noon today." Li Shi said politely.
Wang Yuelan said quickly: "It should be, it's not hard."
Her hands, which were originally used to wash vegetables, suddenly didn't know where to put them. She was a little flustered and touched a chili and washed it several times.
Li Shi saw that his presence would make her nervous, so he smiled and said: "Then get busy, I'll wait for the ready-made food."
After saying that, he turned around and returned to the living room.
After Wang Yuelan was the only one left in the kitchen, she relaxed and continued to handle the ingredients neatly. She thought to herself that Xiaoyuan was right. This Teacher Li was indeed a very good employer. He was kind and polite.
When Li Shi returned to the living room, Wu Yuan immediately stood up, put his arm around him, put it in her plump arms, leaned over, tiptoed, and whispered in his ear: "Teacher Li, how are you? My sister-in-law Does it look good?"
Li Shi's ears were itching, and he glanced in the direction of the kitchen. With his other hand, he exerted force on her 45.5-degree hip twice, and said with a smile: "What's the use of looking good? I'm just looking for cooking..." …You have to cook delicious food.”
Originally he wanted to say "Auntie who cooks", but Wang Yuelan is only thirty-four years old and looks very young, so "Auntie" is obviously inappropriate.
Wu Yuan was shaken by the reaction force of her buttocks, and her eyes suddenly became watery. She said in a waxy tone: "Of course it is useful to look good. At least it will look good when taking pictures. Maybe you will engage in artistic creation in the future. I’ll even ask her to be a model for you.”
Li Shi was stunned.
Taking photos between two people has a special meaning.
He looked at Wu Yuan in surprise, remembering that she was always thinking about introducing him to various people - her best friend's daughter, her best friend, her yoga instructor, and now her sister-in-law.
His eyes happened to meet the woman's, and from her dreamy eyes, Li Shi saw the invisible hook.
After Wu Yuan entered the house, she took off her khaki jacket and wore a lotus pink bottoming shirt underneath, which was tight and wrapped around her chest. The lower body is a light blue skirt, paired with flesh-colored stockings, and the overall look is mature and capable.
"Ms. Wu, why are you dressed so formally today?"
This title made Wu Yuan instinctively tremble.
She knew what Li Shi's "Ms. Wu" meant.
"After you finish your work here, I will have a meeting at the company in the afternoon."
Li Shi stood up and pulled her towards the study: "I haven't taken a photo of you in professional attire yet. It's better to choose a different day. Let's do it today."
…
The door of Li Shi's house has very good sound insulation effect.
And the house is very big, and every room is far apart.
The two of them were studying poses for taking pictures in the study, and the noise they made was relatively loud, but it didn't disturb Wang Yuelan who was cooking in the kitchen at all.
Forty minutes later, Li Shi said to Wu Yuan in an apologetic tone: "Sister Wu, it seems that you need to go back and change a pair of stockings in the afternoon before going to work."
Wu Yuan had just used a yoga pose with hands on the ground, and she was really tired.
After taking a long breath, he lifted it up and said softly: "It's okay, I also have a pair in my bag."
Li Shi couldn't help but praise: "Sister Wu, you are so considerate. Then take a rest first and I'll go see how your sister-in-law is doing."
After saying that, he got up and came out, tidied his clothes and pants, walked out of the study, and went to the kitchen to take a look.
After a while, I returned to the study and saw Wu Yuan still resting on the sofa in the middle of the study with her eyes closed. Looking at the pleasure rippling at the corner of her mouth, she seemed to be still reminiscing about something.
He smiled and did not disturb her. He picked up his phone and sat on the chair in front of the desk, carefully checking the video sent by Lu Congwei.
This is a piece of cut material, with a green strip of water melting in the middle. The good part looks like it should be ice-cold.
In the video, Lu Congwei introduced the situation of the stone while filming: "I have talked about the 1.2 billion kyat packet. This stone is still OK. I am more optimistic about it. I just have to take care of the cracks inside. If I can cut out one or two bracelets... But as long as they are shipped to the country, I will definitely not lose money... Divided into ten strands, do you think you would like to buy one or two strands?"
Li Shi opened the browser and checked the kyat exchange rate.
1.2 billion kyats, according to today's market price, is 3.91 million RMB, which is more than 390,000 RMB per share.
We can only see a rough idea in the video. Whether to buy shares or not depends mainly on his trust in Lu Congwei.
Including his vision and character.
"If you want to solidify your identity as a jade merchant, you have to get involved in this kind of buying and selling investment from time to time."
"I don't expect to make much money from these participations, as long as I try not to lose money, or lose less... Of course, making money is the best."
Li Shi felt that Lu Congwei could still be trusted. Since they met, the two hit it off and quickly became good friends. However, after all, there was not much money exchange before, so this time they wanted to partner up to buy stones, which was different.
To be cautious, he carefully recalled all the interactions he had with Lu Congwei after he got to know him, and judged this person's credibility.
After a while, I picked up my phone and sent a message to the other party: "Brother, let me buy a share."
At this time, Wu Yuan finally sat up from the sofa. While adjusting her skirt, she walked over and sat on his lap with her plump buttocks. She looked at the river view outside the floor-to-ceiling window and couldn't help but said: "Your view here is really good." It’s open and the river view is beautiful.”
Li Shi stretched out his hand, messed up the clothes she had just arranged, and asked: "If I decide to hire your sister-in-law later, what salary would be better? I have never hired a cooking aunt before, and I don't understand the market at all. "
Wu Yuan bit her red lips and replied as seriously as possible: "Now if we hire a part-time worker to come to the door and do hygiene and cooking for two hours a day, and have weekends off on Saturdays and Sundays, the salary will be more than 2,000 yuan a month. If it is If you hire a live-in aunt, it depends on your work experience and what you do. The salary range is relatively large, ranging from three to four thousand to tens of thousands a month. The most expensive one is the kind of gold medal confinement nanny..."
After listening to her talk about the market price, Li Shi had an idea.
After a while, the two of them returned to the living room as if nothing had happened.
But the blush on Wu Yuan's face couldn't go away for a while.
Not long after, Wang Yuelan, who had been busy in the kitchen for more than an hour, came out and called them to the restaurant for dinner.
As soon as he approached the restaurant, Li Shi smelled the aroma of food. He couldn't help but touch his belly after exercising just now.
There are two dining rooms in the home, one is open and connected to the living room. The beautiful long table can accommodate more than a dozen people to eat at the same time. In addition, there is a special dining room between the living room and the kitchen, which contains multiple tables. The functional round table can not only be used as an ordinary dining table, but can also be used to eat delicacies such as hot pot and ground-pot chicken.
At this moment, four dishes, one soup and three bowls of fragrant rice were placed on the round table.
Putting aside the taste, Li Shi was quite satisfied with the presentation of the food. The dishes were exquisitely prepared and made people appetizing just by looking at them.
After sitting down, he took his chopsticks and tasted his favorite fried pork with chili pepper.
Well, it's very fragrant. The pork belly is stir-fried just right, with the burnt aroma of the meat, but not too dry. The overall texture of the meat is still soft and tender. When paired with the slightly spicy green pepper, it immediately makes him want to do it. Big bowl of rice.
I tried the spicy pork ribs again, which was also good. With a light bite, the meat fell off the bones easily. Chew a few more times in your mouth, and your mouth was full of spicy and sweet flavors, and the more you chewed, the better it became.
Li Shi has only eaten fried chicken with tea oil once before. It was at a Hengdong local restaurant for dinner with his former colleagues. The home-cooked version Wang Yuelan made was different from the one he had that time. The one she made was not that spicy. The taste is a bit lighter than that made in local restaurants, but it is more in line with Li Shi's taste.
After tasting a piece of chicken, it was spicy but not dry. The special aroma of tea oil mixed with the aroma of chicken directly made the taste buds explode. After Li Shi tasted one piece, he couldn't help but pick up the second piece, and then took a big mouthful of rice. .
After trying the first three dishes, Li Shi couldn't help but said to Wu Yuan: "Sister Wu, no wonder even you, a rich woman in the catering industry, said that my sister-in-law's cooking is delicious. It is indeed delicious."
Wu Yuan smiled and said: "My sister-in-law is talented in cooking. If she had studied to be a chef, she would definitely have become a female chef."
Wang Yuelan, who was originally very nervous next to her, was suddenly a little embarrassed to be praised by them.
Next, Li Shi tried stir-fried vegetables and egg dumpling soup.
They were all very good. After tasting them, I looked at the familiar cook with very regular features on the chair next to me, and I had already made up my mind.
On the table of food, the two ladies ate very little, and most of it went into Li Shi's stomach.
After eating, they cleaned up the dishes and toilet. The three of them went to the living room, discussed it, and finally decided to let Wang Yuelan try it out for a month. She would not live at home for the time being, but she would come over every day to cook lunch and dinner, and help with cleaning and other things. After one month, if both parties are willing, we can discuss formal employment.
The starting salary is 5,000 yuan a month.
Wang Yuelan was very satisfied with the treatment, but she still had some concerns. After coming out of Li Shi's house, she got in the car and asked Wu Yuan: "Xiaoyuan, I can live with you now, but what if Teacher Li wants to stay with you in a month?" If you hire me, do you have to consider living at home? I...he is a single man after all, so it would be a bit inconvenient to live in his home."
Wu Yuan looked at her with a smile and said: "Sister-in-law, you can see that Li Shi is very easy to talk to. If you are willing to work with him for a long time and don't want to live in his house, then I will be nearby." I’ll rent you a house.”
Hearing what she said, Wang Yuelan nodded and said with a smile, "Teacher Li is indeed easy to get along with."
Li Shi had eaten and drank enough, and decided to cook for the "aunt". He thought that he would not have to eat takeout often in the future, and he was in a very happy mood.
He took his mobile phone and sent a video to Lu Congwei. He first settled on the joint purchase of stones, then went to the study room, turned on the tablet, and started searching for: long-distance running posture textbooks, the greatest long-distance runners, and other information.
When he is in a good mood, he wants to study.
"I have a foundation in sprinting, and with my current 18.9 physical fitness, learning middle and long-distance running should be able to refresh my shortest record from (beginner) to (proficient-). Let's get started!"
Thank you fellow Taoists for your rewards, recommendations and monthly votes, thank you!
