Traveling through the 80s, I picked up an actor

Li Mubai was driven out of the kitchen. He wiped his hair again awkwardly, hung the towel back in the bathroom, and when he walked back, he just saw Jiang Li bringing out the dishes from the kitchen with her eyes wide open smiling.

"You can sit down and eat now. Come and try my chef Jiang's cooking skills."

Li Mubai walked closer and found that Jiang Li was cooking the extremely difficult squirrel mandarin fish today. This dish is a famous Suzhou and Hangzhou dish, which requires careful knife skills, heat control, and seasoning. It is not something that can be done casually. But Jiang Li is obviously an expert. She fried the fish into a graceful posture, with its head held high and its tail raised, shaped like a squirrel. You can feel the crispness when you pick it up with chopsticks, and you can feel the crispy feeling when you put it in your mouth. The sauce is also well-seasoned, with an orange color and a suitable sweet and sour taste. It is full of fragrance when you take a bite, leaving you wanting more.

In addition to squirrel fish, Jiang Li also made pan-fried tofu, stir-fried chicken, stir-fried Chinese cabbage, and winter melon meatball soup, filling the table.

Li Mubai hadn't felt the feeling of home for a long time, but at this moment, he felt how happy it was to have someone waiting for him when he got home.

happiness?

Yes! Happiness!

Thinking of this, Li Mubai suddenly smiled. He first picked up a big piece of fish for Jiang Li, then picked up a big piece for himself, and swallowed it in one gulp with the fragrant and soft rice.

Li Mubai was very considerate during this dinner. Jiang Li had not eaten lunch and was indeed hungry, so the two of them finished all four dishes and one soup.

After finishing the meal, before Jiang Li could get up, Li Mubai had already taken the empty plates and bowls to the kitchen: "You take a rest! I'll do it!"

Jiang Li stood up and stopped him: "How can that be so embarrassing?"

Li Mubai smiled and said, "Why am I embarrassed? You cook and I wash the dishes, that's reasonable. If you cook and I still have to wash the dishes, then I would really be embarrassed."

Jiang Li tried to get Li Mubai to go into the kitchen twice but he refused and pushed her into the living room instead. Jiang Li had no choice but to stop insisting. She walked to the sofa and sat down, opening today's newspaper to entertain herself and digest her food.

Picking up the newspaper, Jiang Li immediately noticed the entertainment headlines.

Her curiosity was stirring, so she looked at the entertainment section first. One of the sections had a big title that read: "Best Newcomer Award Winner_Li Mubai"

Before she even read the details, Jiang Li exclaimed "Wow!" and then stood up and ran towards the kitchen: "Li Mubai! Did you know? There's a celebrity named Li Mubai!"

"And he just won the Best Newcomer Award today!"

"Wow! You have the same name as a famous star! What a coincidence!"

Li Mubai, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, listened with a faint smile on his face, but he was not as surprised as Jiang Li. He just nodded slightly: "What a coincidence!"

"Uh-huh!"

Jiang Li nodded like a chick: "How come your parents are so good at naming? They gave me the same name as a famous star, which sounds very famous. Unlike my parents, they are too lazy and just named me after a fruit."

Li Mubai had just finished washing the dishes for the first time and was boiling water to wash the dishes for the second time. He smiled and said, "I think your name is pretty nice!"

Jiang Li pursed her lips and complained, "It's not nice! You don't know that when I was a kid, my classmates always loved to make fun of me for my name. At that time, I was a little fat, so they called me Big Pear. This nickname stayed with me until I graduated from high school."

"My parents are so irresponsible. They said that because my mother loved to eat pears when she was pregnant with me, they named me Jiang Li. If I loved to eat chicken when I was pregnant, would they still name me Jiang Xiaoji?"

"Poof!" Li Mubai couldn't help laughing out loud and almost broke the plate in his hand.

"Look! You also think it's outrageous, don't you? You have to be careful when choosing a name! Like you, Li Mubai, it sounds very nice!"

"But Jiang Li sounds great too!"

Li Mubai shook off the water droplets from the washed bowl and put it in the drain basin to dry. While wiping his hands, he said, "There are many nice things to say about pears! Pear blossoms are beautiful, pear flesh is delicious, and many poets have written poems specifically about pears."

"For example, 'Skin made of snow and face made of jade, I will not marry my beauty to the east wind', and 'The jade face is lonely and tearful, a branch of pear blossoms is wet with spring rain'. Su Dongpo also wrote 'Mandarin ducks sleep together in the quilt, a tree of pear blossoms overshadows the crabapple tree'."

"These poems are all very nice to listen to, so you don't have to worry about anything."

Li Mubai's voice was gentle and elegant when he recited the poem. Jiang Li felt that her name was elevated by his interpretation.

I was stunned by what I saw! I was stunned by what I heard! I was speechless for a long time!

It wasn't until Li Mubai waved his hand in front of her that she came to her senses.

"Okay, Miss Yali, stop being in a daze. Would you like some tea or water?"

Jiang Li puffed up her cheeks in anger and waved her fist in front of Li Mubai's face.

"How can you talk like that! Fists don't have eyes!"

Li Mubai suppressed his laughter and said, "I'm sorry! Miss Jiang Li, would you like some tea or water?"

Jiang Li snorted softly: "Have some tea! We ate a lot of meat tonight, drink some tea to relieve the greasiness!"

"Okay! I'll bring it to you right away!"

After a while, Li Mubai brewed two cups of warm and clear black tea and personally brought them to the living room. The two chatted for a few more words over tea, and the whole living room was filled with laughter.

Li Mubai was not arrogant in front of her, and she didn't keep a distance deliberately. Because of this discussion about the name and this cup of hot tea, Jiang Li felt that her relationship with Li Mubai seemed to be closer. Not to the point of intimacy, but it seemed that the sense of distance had been eliminated.

I don’t know if it was because I slept during the day or because I drank too much tea at night, but Jiang Li couldn’t sleep again that night. Her mind was full of the image of Li Mubai standing in the dim light of the kitchen and reciting poems to her. The background was obviously simple and messy, and he was obviously wearing an apron, but why did Jiang Li feel that he was so elegant and beautiful at that moment?

After thinking for more than half an hour, Jiang Li came to a conclusion.

If a person is good-looking, he or she will look good in anything he or she wears and appear elegant wherever he or she stands.

She was just fascinated by Li Mubai's ethereal appearance!

Li Mubai is really good-looking! He has a handsome face and bright eyes. If he enters the entertainment industry with this appearance, he will probably become a hit.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li realized that she had forgotten something important. She had forgotten to ask Li Mubai what he did! Beauty really misled people. As soon as she saw his face, she completely forgot the question. It seemed that she could only wait until tomorrow to find a chance to ask.

After such wild thoughts, Jiang Li fell into a deep sleep.

Li Mubai in the other room was also tossing and turning, unable to sleep, but his eyes were full of smiles.

Thinking of the person sleeping next door, Li Mubai couldn't help but smile brightly, and his whole body felt warm.
