Li Zishen is very similar to his father in character, has a clear distinction between love and hate, and strives for perfection in everything.
The biggest difference is that he is very self-disciplined and rarely gets angry. He is often happy but his temper is unclear.
It is also more serious in terms of protecting shortcomings.
For example, Second Uncle Li stirred up trouble behind his back, causing several relatives to speak rudely to Tang Xiaowan. On the surface, Li Zishen was calm, but in fact, he used stocks to suppress her and settled the matter quietly.
If the same thing happened to his father, he would be furious and everyone would know about it.
…
Six thirty in the evening, sun room.
Tang Xiaowan was stunned when she saw everything in front of her.
In the two days after returning to Jincheng, she was so busy buying a house that she completely forgot about the sunroom.
At this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun just passed through the glass and fell on the dark gray sofa. Tang Xiaowan pillowed her arms and closed her eyes, feeling its temperature.
"Wow, awesome!"
"Are you reluctant to move away, Miss?"
Cheng Shi's words brought people back to reality.
Tang Xiaowan rolled her eyes at him, stretched out, stood up, and went to the planting area.
Each area is equal in size, divided with blue bricks, and covered with fertile soil, but the colors are different, some are deep and some are shallow.
"Wow, you are quite thoughtful. Different vegetables have different needs. Not bad."
Tang Xiaowan squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil.
"Miss, if you like it, I will go there tomorrow and get you one too, but the area may be smaller than here."
Cheng Shi's voice was loud.
He saw that Tang Xiaowan was still smiling at the soil, seemingly not hearing his words, and felt very anxious.
So, he frowned and added: "Miss, I think you can grow vegetables on the roof over there, how about you try it later?"
Only this time the sound was louder.
Tang Xiaowan stood up quickly and glanced around. After making sure there was no one, she huffed angrily: "What are you doing? Are you afraid that the guy can't hear you? Are you still nagging on?"
"Miss, you..."
"What are you? Let's go, let's go."
"Yes, miss."
The two left the sun room one after the other.
In the middle of the process, Tang Xiaowan originally wanted to sneak into the kitchen to see how the food was being cooked, but was interrupted by Cheng Shi.
The reason is that there is no sense of mystery if you watch it in advance.
Tang Xiaowan thought so, so she ran to the restaurant and waited obediently.
If Li Zishen hadn't had a sudden idea and insisted on purchasing the ingredients and cooking the food himself, he would have eaten this delicacy long ago.
While Tang Xiaowan was passing the time drinking tea and eating snacks, Chen Ma came over with a plate of fried water chestnuts and shredded radish.
"Xiao Wan, you're in a hurry. Let's eat something to cushion your stomach."
"Wow, you put so many hot peppers?"
"Try it quickly, while it's hot."
Since Li Zihan was going to have a dinner with his employees in the evening, Tang Xiaowan didn't have to think about who to wait for, and immediately picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
The Chaotian pepper picked from the plum garden is very spicy!
Whether it's water chestnuts or shredded white radish, it tastes really good after being stir-fried with it.
“Uncle Cai’s cooking skills are great, it’s so delicious!”
"Master Zishen did it."
Tang Xiaowan: "?"
Mother Chen continued with a smile: "The young master said that beef takes some time, and I am afraid that you will be anxious while waiting, so I will fry two side dishes for you first."
Cheng Shi: "..."
I'm afraid the young lady is going to be emotional, right?
Also, Miss has seen a lot of big scenes in the past, and it is indeed easy to be moved by small love affairs like this.
Mr. Li is indeed a businessman, very shrewd!
"Xiao Wan, eat slowly. I'll go to the kitchen to take a look. Maybe the beef and sea bass are ready by now. By the way, there's also the braised pig's trotters that you love."
Tang Xiaowan's eyes lit up: "Wow, pig's trotters!"
"Don't worry, I'll come as soon as I go."
After Chen's mother left, Cheng Shi cleared his throat and took two steps closer to Tang Xiaowan: "Miss, if everything is okay, I want to check the car."
"Well, go ahead and don't forget to eat."
"knew."
Li Yuan's family rule is that anyone who lives on the first floor can enjoy meals delivered to their room, such as Mother Chen, Uncle Cai, Bai Long and Chen Xin.
Although Cheng Shi is still relatively junior, he enjoys the same treatment as he is Tang Xiaowan's personal bodyguard.
Ten minutes later, Li Zishen arrived at the restaurant.
Behind him were four young men carrying trays of tomato beef, steamed sea bass, braised pork trotters, and white fungus and old duck soup.
Including the two side dishes that Mother Chen sent in advance, there are just enough for six.
There is a saying in Jincheng that five dishes and one soup means reunion, smoothness and happy family. This is the standard for any family dinner.
If there are a large number of people, eight dishes and one soup will be served.
"Why prepare so much?"
Li Zishen filled a bowl of soup and put it down gently: "Nothing, I just want you to know that I can not only cook fish but also braise pig's trotters."
"I'm really impressed by you, please eat more soon."
"This..." Li Zishen paused, then looked at Chen's mother, "Half a bowl of rice."
Mother Chen nodded and quickly served the rice.
She was very relieved and happy that Li Zishen's old habit that he had persisted for 15 years had finally been changed. From now on, he no longer had to worry about him having to suffer for his father and go to work hungry.
However, at this time, Tang Xiaowan secretly glanced at Li Zishen, muttering in her heart, feeling that she seemed to be forcing someone to do something difficult and said something she shouldn't have said.
She just made a slip of the tongue and didn't mean it.
"Zishen, actually you..."
"Come, try your favorite pig's trotters first."
Li Zishen didn't know when he had put on his gloves and put the whole pig's trotters on Tang Xiaowan's dinner plate.
Don't cut it into small pieces, just hold it and chew it.
This is Tang Xiaowan's favorite way to eat pig's trotters. Although it is very bold and not ladylike at all, it is very satisfying.
"It's so mushy, it melts in your mouth!"
"I'm a little pressed for time today, so I used a pressure cooker. When I'm off on Sunday, I'll cook it for you in a casserole. It might taste better."
"Saturday is fine. Saturday is fine."
Tang Xiaowan chewed it until it was very fragrant, so she answered this sentence carelessly.
"Forgot? I have to go to Bieyuan on Saturday."
"Oh, I forgot."
It’s really annoying, I really didn’t take it to heart!
Hey, thanks to me I prepared a door-to-door gift, just in case you forgot.
Don't regret it, otherwise I'll be pissed off!
"Xiaowan, you don't want to run away from the battle, do you?"
"How could it be possible? Am I that kind of person?"
"Well, it does look a bit like it. The suspicion is high."
As soon as Li Zishen finished speaking, Tang Xiaowan put a pig's trotter into his dinner plate, using her own oil-stained pair instead of new gloves.
"I'll give you an extra-large one. I can borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha."
Of course Li Zishen would not dislike anything, but his mind was still stuck on the issue of whether to go or not.
