Huo Shichu submitted her work to the organizing committee of the screenwriting competition, but the result would not be known until a month or two later, so she continued to enrich herself and earn a little money to support herself.
That day when she was translating a manuscript at her home, she suddenly smelled a strong aroma of vegetables coming from downstairs, which made people salivate.
Huo Shichu was not exempt from the secular world. She wiped the corners of her mouth, walked quietly to the balcony, stretched out her head, and looked downstairs, her nose constantly sniffing the fragrance that could make a monk return to secular life.
I don’t know who he is, but his cooking skills are so good, it’s really tempting, Huo Shichu thought with sigh, she was very curious about who was cooking downstairs, and she wanted to get to know him.
Of course, she didn't want to get away with it, she just wanted to share her cooking experience, really!
Huo Shichu swallowed while spitting out his greed.
Just as she was sniffing unaffectedly, a tall man wearing a gray gold-trimmed housecoat suddenly appeared on the balcony downstairs. The man looked up at her expressionlessly.
Huo Shichu:...
Huo Shichu's face turned red. Now she finally realized what a "community death scene" was, being seen in such a shameful manner...
Fortunately, she was thick-skinned and recovered after being embarrassed for a while. She waved her hand to the man as if nothing had happened and said, "Hi! Hello, is your family cooking? It smells so delicious."
The man glanced at her lightly and nodded: "Yes."
"Did you make it? Your craftsmanship is so good! I envy people who cook delicious food the most!" Huo Shichu's eyes lit up and a series of words of praise came out of his mouth.
She is so attentive, who doesn't know that she is not interested in drinking, but just wants to eat?
Although the man had a cold face, he seemed to be a warm-hearted person and said, "I've done a little too much. Do you want to eat?"
"I think!" Huo Shichu blurted out, smiling so hard that his eyes turned into crescents, and kept nodding, "I haven't eaten yet and I'm hungry. Thank you."
"Then come down." The man said.
Huo Shichu happily went to change clothes and wanted to go downstairs. But as soon as she reached the door, she suddenly thought that she couldn't eat the meal with empty hands. It would be rude.
But there seemed to be nothing at home that could be given as gifts. She had finished the fruit she had purchased early...
Huo Shichu was a little worried.
Finally, she pulled out a basket of fruits from her space, including mangoes, pineapples, breadfruit and lychees. They were all fruits in season. The neighbor downstairs would always like something, right?
Huo Shichu found a small basket, loaded it with various fruits, and went downstairs happily.
Fo Bojian brought all the dishes from the kitchen to the living room, and the doorbell rang. He went to look at the door, and Huo Shichu's bright and beautiful face appeared in front of him.
"I am your neighbor upstairs, my name is Huo Shichu. This is some fruit I bought. I hope you like it."
Huo Shichu said with a smile while handing him a basket of fruits.
Fu Baijian took the basket of fruits, looked at her expressionlessly, and said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "I am Fu Baijian, don't you remember me?"
"Fo Baijian?" Huo Shichu thought about it with her flexible mind, and finally remembered that this Buddha Baijian knew the original owner. After all, they were in the same circle, and they would occasionally meet at banquets.
br/>"So it's you! I didn't expect that the eldest son of a Buddhist family can actually cook. It's really surprising." Huo Shichu exclaimed.
"What's so surprising?" Fo Bojian said lightly, "I studied abroad for several years, and I'm not used to the food there. If I don't learn how to cook, I'll have to go hungry."
Huo Shichu asked very unexpectedly: "For a family like yours, even if they go to study abroad, don't they always bring their own nanny, driver and chef? Do you still have to cook it yourself?"
"Our family doesn't have such preferential treatment. When we go abroad, we have to be independent. We can't rely on our family for everything." Fu Bojian shook his head and said.
Huo Shichu blinked. He didn't expect that the Buddhist family paid great attention to cultivating children's independence. However, it was probably because they did not pamper their children that the family could continue for so long.
While talking, Huo Shichu followed Fo Bojian to the dining table. She immediately saw the braised fish, red wine braised beef, Cantonese steamed pork ribs, braised prawns and kale stir-fried beef on the table...
The table is almost full, and it’s not just a little bit more.
"Are you going to treat us?" Huo Shichu asked involuntarily.
Fo Bojian paused, and then said after a while: "Yes, but my friend suddenly had something to do and couldn't come. I made so many dishes myself and couldn't finish them, so I can only ask for your help."
"You're welcome! You're welcome! I just like to help like this..." Huo Shichu hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Fo Baijian, hoping that he would remember to come to her next time he cooked too much.
Seeing that her eyes were almost glued to the plate, Fo Bojian couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "Let's start eating. The taste won't be as good when it cools down."
Huo Shichu got permission and sat down immediately. After he moved his chopsticks, he was not polite to Buddha Baijian, and ate very boldly. Although his movements were elegant, it was obvious that he had been hungry for several meals, and his speed was very fast. Soon.
Fo Bojian recalled the information about Huo Shichu that his assistant had investigated. He said that during this period she rarely went out, basically staying at home and ordering takeout for meals.
It seems that she didn't eat well, otherwise she wouldn't even bother to maintain her image in front of her.
Fo Bojian had thought about how to attract Huo Shichu's attention before. After all, he didn't have Huo Shichu's contact information, and she didn't usually go out, so there was no way to meet her by chance.
Therefore, he had a sudden idea and moved into the downstairs of Huo Shichu's house, luring her out with the smell of delicious food.
In fact, he didn't have much hope for this idea, but it gave him an unexpected surprise. Huo Shichu was actually attracted by his craftsmanship!
However, his cooking skills attracted students from the same building when he was abroad. It seems that it is not surprising that he can attract Huo Shichu now?
"Do you like shrimps?" Fo Baijian asked when he saw Huo Shichu picking up braised prawns several times.
"I like it." Huo Shichu nodded and replied, "I'm not picky about food. I eat everything, but seafood and river fresh food are my favorite."
Fo Bojian nodded, secretly noted her words, picked up a few more prawns, put on disposable gloves, peeled the shrimp skillfully, then put the peeled shrimp into a bowl and handed it to Huo Shichu.
His movements were natural, and he didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with peeling shrimps for Huo Shichu because of their unfamiliar relationship.
Huo Shichu, who was accustomed to enjoying being served by others, didn't feel awkward at all and neatly ate the shrimp peeled by Fu Baijian for her.
Seeing this, Fo Baijian raised his lips slightly, it was so easy to feed.
