Lin Yue didn't reply to her text message, but directly picked up the phone and called her.
Mary picked up quickly.
Lin Yue said: "You don't want to buy groceries, let me buy them. I will go there early at noon."
"okay."
"See you at noon then."
"See you at noon."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yue went home and slept for a while. He left the dormitory at almost 11 o'clock and went to a shopping mall first. After that, he took a taxi to the vegetable market not far from Mary's downstairs.
Half a pound of oyster meat, five duck eggs, several pieces of fish belly, a handful of vegetables, one squid, two bell peppers, minced onion, ginger and garlic, lard, chili and sweet potato powder...
At about 11:30, Lin Yue rang the doorbell of Mary's house.
Following the sound of footsteps, the door opened with a bang, and she appeared less than one meter away wearing sportswear.
I was used to seeing Mary in suits and leather jackets, but looking at her current appearance, she looked less sharp and more weak and lazy.
He showed off what he had gained from going to the vegetable market: "I'm here."
"Come in quickly."
Mary let him into the room: "Looking at how hot you are and sweating, go to the bathroom and wash your face first. The towel is placed on the iron rack above the sink. I'll take the dishes to the kitchen first."
"I don't know why it's still so hot in November." Lin Yue gave her the things, turned around and went into the bathroom, rinsed his face with cold water, picked up the towel on the iron rack and wiped it gently.
The cotton thread is soft and has the scent of lavender.
After washing her face, she walked into the kitchen. Mary had already taken out the things from the plastic bag and was looking at the dishes in a daze, as if she didn't know what to do.
"Have you never cooked at home?" He handed the vegetables to her: "Go to the sink and rinse them."
She took the dish and said: "I live alone here. I usually cook a bowl of porridge, fry an egg, and make doll noodles. I rarely cook anything. But you, who usually live in a dormitory, often cook by yourself Cooking?"
Lin Yue picked off the dried green onion leaves and cut them into several sections with a knife. While going to the condiment shelf to get some oil-based dark soy sauce to mix the marinade, he said: "I am from the New Territories. I have been in high school since I was in middle school. I started cooking, and now my parents know that when I come home, they always prepare the dishes in advance and wait for me to go over there to cook them."
"So, I'm having a good time today?" She handed over the washed vegetables and drained the water, then picked up the fish belly in a small stainless steel basin and rinsed it.
"I forgot to buy wine." Lin Yue had just poured an appropriate amount of water into the starch and stirred it twice, when he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to buy something to drink.
Mary said, "There's beer in the refrigerator."
"That's OK."
After washing away the starch, he took the cutting board, cut off the roots of the cabbage and put it on the plate. He also smashed two garlic cloves and set them aside. After that, he took the rinsed fish belly and cut it into small pieces, adding marinade to marinate it.
Cut the bell pepper into triangles, remove the internal organs from the squid and cut out the patterns, and set aside sections for later use.
Add shrimp paste and chopped green onion to the starch liquid, mix it with the oyster meat blanched in boiling water to make a slurry, remove the shells of the duck eggs and beat them into pieces.
After all the ingredients were processed, he heated up the oil and started cooking.
First, stir-fried vegetables with the simplest process.
After the lard is hot, add the garlic cloves and stir-fry the cabbage stems until golden brown. Stir-fry for a while and then add the cabbage leaves. Finally, pour some shrimp paste and serve.
Heat oil again, add garlic cloves and chili peppers until fragrant, add bell peppers and stir-fry, then add squid segments blanched in boiling water, and finally add salt and mix well.
The fish belly is fried, then boiled, and then oyster baked.
It took about an hour to prepare all four dishes.
Shrimp paste with vegetables.
Sautéed Calamari with Bell Peppers.
Oyster branding.
Fish belly pot.
Mary simmered the rice and walked out of the kitchen holding the fish belly pot. Lin Yue took two cans of beer from the refrigerator and put them on the dining table.
"Well, it smells so good."
She couldn't wait to add a piece of squid to her mouth.
"I didn't expect your Chaoshan cuisine to be so good."
"They are just home-cooked dishes." Lin Yuexin said that after all, she has stayed in the world of "Chasing the Dragon" for 20 years. My father-in-law is from Chaoshan. My mother-in-law, in order to please the Da Lao family, of course has to work hard on Chaoshan cuisine. Qing'er is my daughter. Yes, his cooking skills are naturally good under the influence of his ears and eyes. The two of them have been together for so long, and he has more or less mastered a few special dishes.
"You like to eat, I will help you make it when I have time."
"Okay." Mary said happily.
HK is a financial center and a gourmet city in Asia. It has a rich selection of Chinese and Western meals, northern and southern cuisines, sweets and drinks. However, no matter how many styles and unique flavors there are, eating out always lacks the feeling of home. As time goes by, you will I feel like I'm floating around and insecure.
Only like now, with two people, a few plates of home-cooked food, and a bowl of steaming rice, eating, drinking, talking and laughing, can we feel the warmth of home.
Lin Yue drank two cans of beer and added some rice, then took the empty dishes to the kitchen to wash.
Mary went to help, so the two of them cooked, ate together, and washed the dishes together.
When Lin Yue was cleaning the floor and leaving vegetable leaves behind, she went outside to make two cups of tea. When he came out and sat down, she took out the cash she had prepared in advance.
"This is the money to buy the range hood, you keep it."
"Okay." Lin Yue said yes, but his body remained motionless: "I just happen to have something to give you."
"what?"
He took out a beautifully-shaped box from his pocket with a watch inside.
Mary noticed that there were two grooves in the box, but only the left groove contained the watch. The shape was not cool, but the detailed design was great.
"This is too expensive."
"Two watches only cost 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. Are they expensive? I don't think so." Lin Yue raised what he was wearing on his wrist.
Obviously, this is Cartier’s couple series of watches.
Mary said: "Your salary is only over 30,000 yuan."
Lin Yue ignored her, took her hand, untied the watch and put it on her: "Today I gave you a watch, I hope next time I give you a ring."
Mary lowered her head and remained silent.
Maybe Lin Yue didn't know that she originally had a watch, but she gave it back to Lao Xu a week ago because she didn't want to have anything to do with that person anymore.
After helping her put on the watch, he took her hand and clasped their fingers together.
"Wear this watch and you will be my girlfriend. If anyone bullies you in the future, just tell me my name."
Mary glared at him fiercely: "Glib."
"do not move."
Lin Yue said: "It's this very madam expression that makes people want to conquer."
As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned forward very quickly and tapped Mary's lips.
The five fingers clasping the back of his hand tensed instantly.
Mary looked at him blankly, the air seemed to freeze and time seemed to freeze.
Lin Yue put his face back again.
(Omit the following content and make up your own mind.)
…
The sun sets in the west and the sunset is picturesque.
Lin Yue put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, got up from the bed and put on his pants.
Mary looked at his muscular upper body and said, "The sisters in Group C are really mistaken."
Lin Yue took the shirt that was thrown on the chair and put it on, then leaned over and kissed her: "What? Aren't you having fun? Do you want something exciting tonight?"
Mary thought for a moment and said, "Lin Yue, I don't want my colleagues to know about our relationship for the time being."
Lin Yue asked while tying his tie: "Why?"
"It's not good for it to reach SIR Huang's ears. Let's wait until the case is settled before telling them."
"I'll listen to you."
Since they were not rich in time, the two went out to have something to eat, and then drove Mary's car to the workplace.
Mary took the first step, and Lin Yue smoked a cigarette outside before going upstairs.
"Brother Yue, Azu bought the turtle jelly." Xiaoxiang handed him a small plastic bowl with a black jelly-like object inside.
"Azu is so generous today. What's the happy event?"
"It's all thanks to Brother Yue." Azu said: "As for the stock broker you introduced to me a few days ago, the stocks he recommended to me have risen several times in the past two days, and I made a small profit."
The unlucky boy didn't know that he had already taken care of Mary. If he knew about it, he wouldn't be in the mood to buy Guiling paste for everyone to eat.
"Are you talking about A Yuan? That kid has only been in the securities company for a short time and has little experience." Lin Yue said, "Remember not to be too big."
Xiaoxiang said: "I heard that now is a good time to buy at the bottom. You can make money by buying with your eyes closed."
Lin Yue said: "It's not that exaggerated."
Lao Yang sucked the last bit of Guiling Jeal into his mouth: "Lin Yue, please introduce your cousin to me, too."
Ajun gave him a tug: "You want to learn from others about stock trading? Just save it..."
"I just want to make more money, what's wrong?"
"It's better for you to be safe and sound than anything else. If Li Chang knew about this, I'm afraid she would kick you out of the house."
Lao Yang stopped talking.
Lin Yue looked at Lao Yang who looked depressed and thought to himself, he must have seen a doctor and knew that he had liver cancer and wanted to leave some money for his wife and children.
Alas~
He sighed in his heart. If it weren't for his terminal illness and poor family conditions, how could Lao Yang take such desperate risks and break the law?
Another fruitless night.
The next day, Lin Yue came down from upstairs and was about to take a taxi back to his dormitory. Suddenly he saw the window of the Volkswagen car next to him rolled down.
The person sitting in the cab is Arjun.
"Hey, you haven't left yet?"
The people from the Criminal Intelligence Division came a little earlier today, and Lao Yang, Xiao Xiang, and A Jun went downstairs earlier than them.
Arjun looked at him and said, "Get in the car."
Lin Yue said: "Where to go."
Arjun did not answer the question directly: "You will know when you go."
