"Axiang, Brother Sen will teach you how to make braised pork with dried plums and vegetables today. This is a quick method. I can't help it. Aren't we going to eat it tonight..."
"Brother Sen, has anyone told you that men who can cook are really handsome?" Axiang said with her chin propped up and her eyes shining with admiration.
"Don't look at me like this. If you look at her too much, you'll be asking for trouble." Zhou Sen was cutting the pork belly quickly while joking with the little girl Axiang.
"Huh, you think I'm stupid!" The little girl curled her lips and snorted, "I'm going to see Brother Wu En."
Zhou Sen chuckled.
Wu En, this stupid guy, almost obeyed A Xiang's advice. He was probably sold out, and he even helped this girl with some money.
This guy is pushing a grinder next door, grinding soy milk and making tofu.
Being treated like a donkey, I still enjoy it.
Forget it, it’s good to let this guy vent his energy. If you don’t use it when you have the energy, it would be a waste. How about eating so much and not working?
In addition to cooking, Zhou Sen also tried to make some pastries. He did have a lot of pastry recipes in his mind. It was difficult to put them into practice in the past, but now, there is no shortage of time.
"You are a policeman, but you are working as a cook here. Aren't you afraid that your boss will find out and punish you for not doing your job properly?" Bai Yulan appeared at the door of the kitchen and asked, looking at the busy Zhou Sen.
"I have a day off today and I don't go to work, so he can't control me." Zhou Sen chuckled, picked up a piece of freshly steamed glutinous rice cake, and handed it to Bai Yulan's mouth, "Yu Lan, try the glutinous rice rose cake I made. .”
Bai Yulan hesitated for a moment, but then opened her mouth and took a bite.
A soft, glutinous and sweet taste entered her mouth directly. She had eaten a lot of good things. This was the first time she had tasted the rose cake made by Zhou Sen.
Seeing the relaxed expression on Bai Yulan's face, Zhou Sen knew that he had done a good job in making the rose cake, and said happily: "How is it?"
"It's okay." Bai Yulan said reservedly.
"What does it mean to be okay? If it's delicious, it's delicious. If it's not delicious, it's not delicious."
"It's so-so, not bad to eat." As she said that, the remaining half of Zhou Sen's hand was stuffed into her mouth.
"You want to choke me to death!"
"Haha, I can't bear to leave."
"Is there any more? Let me help you give it to others to try and comment on it?" After eating, Bai Yulan rolled her eyes at him and said.
"There are many there. Remember to leave me a review after you finish your meal." Zhou Sen pointed to the steamer in the kitchen and said, "I want to improve."
Bai Yulan took a food box, took some of each of the various pastries made by Zhou Sen, and then took them out.
There are still a dozen women living in Ningxiang Pavilion. If you have good things, you must share them.
These were a lot of people who were scouring the sand, but in the end they stayed, shared the joys and sorrows with her, and never left her. Naturally, they were different from those who left and were short-sighted.
…
In the north courtyard.
"Sister Lan, people say you are with that policeman. Is this true?" Cao Waner, who has always been outspoken, asked.
Bai Yulan said: "Not yet, don't think too much."
Her relationship with Zhou Sen is rather complicated. Even if they are really together, they cannot be announced to the public yet, not even to the people around them.
For some things, you will gain wisdom if you learn from it.
"Then Sister Lan is probably moved. We have never seen Sister Lan treat a man so well. She can enter and leave the yard where Sister Lan lives freely. Sisters, don't you think so?" Liu Hongying, who was munching on melon seeds, shouted.
"Okay, okay, such delicious pastries can't stop your mouths." Bai Yulan coughed, "Since you sisters are staying and don't want to live the past life of looking at people's faces and making excuses, then We have to have a business to support ourselves. I thought about it, let’s open a teahouse, we will be responsible for the tea, and he will be responsible for the pastries and snacks eaten by the tea guests..."
"Which one, oh..." The girls started to boo with expressions of "understanding".
"I'm serious, do you think these pastries are delicious? If they really become our restaurant's signature pastries, will there be any business?" Bai Yulan knew what they meant by making noises.
"Sister Lan, this is indeed a good idea. Our Ningxiang Pavilion is originally a place for business. With a little modification, we can create a teahouse. We have a lot of traffic here, so we don't have to worry about no customers!" Cao Waner said.
"Wan'er is right. Although we have some savings, we can't just sit back and waste away. If we can make a living, we will have someone to rely on in the future."
"Yeah, running a teahouse is good, it doesn't have to be too hard..."
"I can also play the piano, which can help the fun!"
"I know a little bit about tea ceremony..."
All the girls talked about it, and basically agreed with Bai Yulan's idea. As for the matter of the restaurant, Bai Yulan didn't mention it, and the matter had to be done step by step.
"Since everyone agrees to open a teahouse, that's what we have decided. If you have any suggestions or ideas, you can put them forward."
…
"I have two theater tickets here. Can you take Axiang to see them this afternoon?" During lunch, Bai Yulan took out two theater tickets and put them in front of Zhou Sen and said.
"Where did it come from? Why don't you go?"
"It's a gift from a friend. I'm inconvenient. Besides, if I go, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble." Bai Yulan explained.
"Don't all theaters have VIP boxes?"
"This new celebrity may become famous in the future. It's hard to buy her tickets now, so I asked someone to buy them." Bai Yulan said.
"I prefer modern dramas. I can't appreciate traditional operas like this." When Zhou Sen saw that the title of the theater ticket said "New Stage" printed on it, he instinctively refused.
"This is a popular vote. You can't let me go with Axiang. How uncomfortable would that be?" Bai Yulan frowned slightly.
It was hard to find, and she actually wanted to take a look. The problem was that all the VIP tickets for the private rooms were sold out, and they only got two public tickets.
"Otherwise, let me help you ask. Theater owners usually reserve some good seats for such popular theater tickets in case of emergencies." Zhou Sen chuckled.
"Who can you ask for?"
"Can you lend me your phone?"
"In the study..." Bai Yulan made an exception and nodded.
…
Zhou Sen walked into Bai Yulan's study, sat down, picked up the phone, and dialed a number. There was a voice on the other end of the phone that was not yet awake.
"Hey, who's there?"
"Second Young Master Qin, do you still remember me?" Zhou Sen chuckled.
A grumpy voice suddenly rang on the phone: "Why is it you again, Zhou? What do you want to do?"
"Second Young Master Qin, it's noon, don't be so angry, I have something to do with you." Zhou Sen said, moving the receiver a little away.
"roll!"
After a roar, Qin Lang hung up the phone.
Zhou Sen was stunned for a moment. Qin Lang was so angry that he must have woken him up by calling him, so he dialed the phone again.
"Hey, who is it again?"
"It's me, Second Young Master Qin, if you hang up the phone again, I will make our relationship public to the public!" Zhou Sen threatened.
"You surnamed Zhou, you are cruel, what do you want?" Qin Lang cursed, wanting to let Qin Laoqi and the boss know that all his news was related to Zhou Sen, and he would definitely not be able to take advantage of it.
"Two tickets for Xiao Xiangning's theater, VIP box, this afternoon."
"Why don't you die? If I get a ticket for you, wouldn't the whole world know about my relationship with you?" Qin Lang yelled.
"With Second Young Master Qin's ability, it's not difficult to keep people from knowing, isn't it?" Zhou Sen chuckled.
"You..." Qin Lang was so angry that he wanted to throw the phone down. He regretted it very much now. Why was he so obsessed with it in the first place that he promised that woman Jin Suying to detain Zhou Sen's subordinate Ye San'er?
Now this guy is blackmailing himself.
"In Mr. Qin Qi's heart, your eldest brother is still the first heir to inherit the Qin family's great cause, and you can only live in the shadow of your eldest brother forever, not to mention that he has a good father-in-law, but you can't compare with him. of……"
"Okay, just two tickets to the VIP box. I'll get it for you." Qin Lang is not stupid. This conflict between Su Wenqing and the Qin family was obviously calculated by someone, and this person was Zhou Sen. Even if he He is just an executor, but he is by no means a weak character.
He has seen that a person dares to come to him alone to ask for someone. Is such a person really a coward?
"Thank you. I will replenish the ticket price for you and won't take advantage of you."
"No!" After saying that, Qin Lang hung up the phone again angrily.
…
"You can give these two tickets away." Zhou Sen came back and directly pushed the two public theater tickets on the table to Bai Yulan.
"Did you really get the VIP ticket for the box?" Bai Yulan was shocked.
"Of course." Zhou Sen said, "Hurry up and eat. After dinner, I will take you to get your tickets and take you to the theater by the way."
"Otherwise, you can go with Wu En for these two tickets. Then when the show is over, you can come back with us?" Bai Yulan suggested.
To be honest, Zhou Sen is really a little moved. After all, they haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Yuan Shen is still worried about it in her heart. If she can't meet, she won't disturb her. If she can meet her from a distance off the stage, it won't be a big deal. But I thought about it.
"Okay." Zhou Sen agreed.
…
In front of Lao Renyi Museum, Zhou Sen met Qin Lang who came to deliver tickets. This guy was afraid of being recognized, so he deliberately changed into a dog-skin jacket and cotton pants, making him look like he was driving a bicycle.
"My surname is Zhou, are you blackmailing me?" Qin Lang had a good look on Zhou Senneng.
"Second Young Master Qin, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. We don't have any deep hatred. Our interests are still the same. If I win, there will be no harm to you. On the contrary, if your elder brother wins, your life will not be easy. " Zhou Sen reminded.
"But I always feel that getting involved with you won't do anything good." Qin Lang snorted.
"It depends on what you think. Su Wenqing wants to replace your old man as the president of the General Chamber of Commerce. What if you can help him secure his position?"
"You, you have a way..." Qin Lang was startled.
"You and I don't have any say in the president of the General Chamber of Commerce. Only the Japanese have the final say. The Japanese just want a dog to be the president of the General Chamber of Commerce. Who dares to object?" Zhou Sen chuckled.
Qin Lang's eyes narrowed, yes, the Japanese have the final say in this huge Manchukuo, not to mention the president of the small Bingcheng General Chamber of Commerce?
This guy Zhou Sen is a policeman. It is said that he has good relations with the Japanese, so he might be able to help.
"Brother Sen, how offended I was just now..."
