Gourmet and actor

As the Spring Festival is approaching, Han Xilin is busy again, running around for various dinners.Partners, suppliers, entrepreneurs at the same level... In the coming year, there will be a variety of business opportunities and affairs, and the first weft will be woven in the banquets at the end of the year.

On this day, after drinking two bottles with a group of business owners who were a round older than him, Han Xilin excused himself from the banquet and came out to breathe.

Standing on the balcony for a while, his thoughts could not help but shift from business to daily life.Facing the pots of green plants with round leaves, what I thought of was last night's supper green eggplant cake.

Add a steamer to the soup pot of the stewed squab ham, put the eggplant and steam it, then mash it into a muddy stuffing, wrap it with lettuce that has been slightly marinated, and finally wrap it with a layer of batter made of eggs and sweet minced shrimp. The pan is fried.

Vegetables reveal the looming green from the golden and crispy thin layer, which looks very attractive, much more beautiful than these potted plants... It is even more delicious to bite down. Vegetables are fragrant but not greasy, and he is not afraid of eating too much at night, which makes him unable to stop when he picks up chopsticks.

I don't know what supper Xiao Ke left for himself tonight?

After taking a look at his stomach, which had barely eaten a few chopsticks of vegetarian dishes to block the wine, Han Xilin wished he could go back immediately.

At this time, a young man walked over from behind the rich tree with a wine glass.Seeing Han Xilin, he showed a very surprised expression: "Brother Han, you also come here to blow the air."

The young man seemed to have forgotten that when Han Xilin left the banquet just now, he told him to have another round of drinking when he came back later.Even now, he still holds two wine glasses in his hand.

Han Xilin glanced at him.This is the youngest son of the Deng family, Deng Yibo, who is three years younger than him and only 25 this year.After graduating from university two years ago, he came back from abroad, and asked his father for the management rights of several commercial buildings in the south. He collected the rent and received the dividends, played everywhere, and passed on with the host model from time to time. Gossip, life is very nourishing.But recently, it seems that he is very quiet and wants to move. He does not want to rely on the family to do a big project to prove himself, so he takes aim at Han Xilin and wants to get him to invest together.

He seemed to have forgotten that the Deng family had been friends with the Han family since their grandfather's generation, and this favor should also be counted as a family resource.

For Deng Yibo's behavior, Han Xilin has only one comment: eat enough to support you.

He had learned about that project, and a few veterans working in the financial industry used it as a tiger skin, just looking for a big tree to gain fame.But Deng Yibo didn't listen to his family's persuasion, thinking that they didn't trust him, so he was determined to invest.The Deng family had no choice, and it was inconvenient to touch the project managers who were deeply involved behind the scenes, so they had to greet their relatives and friends in advance, telling them to ignore Deng Yibo.

In fact, even without the words of the Deng family, Han Xilin would not have injected capital into Deng Yibo.

Seeing him coming, Han Xilin said calmly, "Yibo, last time I saw my aunt, she kept complaining about your refusal to get married. Now that you're home, is she still urging you?"

Director Han Da always knew the most appropriate way to set a price on the negotiating table, and naturally he also knew how to change the subject and disrupt the other party's rhythm.

Sure enough, Deng Yibo immediately lost his temper, put the two glasses of red wine in his hand on the ground, and complained listlessly: "Brother Han, don't mention my mother. Now she is like a news broadcast every day, shooting at me regularly with clichés. If it weren't for the end of the year Right before my eyes, I left early. The most irritating thing is that she only urged me, and didn't care about my brother, who would change male partners every day."

Han Xilin and the two brothers of the Deng family were childhood friends, and he and the eldest brother of the Deng family were best friends, and they knew each other well.Others don't know about the Deng family, but he knows it very well.

Hearing Deng Yibo's endless complaints, Han Xilin smiled and said nothing.

Who is Deng Zairong? At the beginning because of his sexual orientation and falling out with his family, his father cut off all his contacts and sources of income, and he was able to earn tens of millions from nothing.Later, a bunch of dividend-earning shareholders of the Deng family couldn't sit still, and persuaded the old Deng and his wife to let their son go back and continue to carry forward the family business.The two sides struggled for more than a year, and finally Deng Zairong brought his then boyfriend back home and took over the business at the same time.Lao Deng retreated to the second line, and Deng's mother, who loved nagging the most, never said anything wrong to her eldest son again.

If Deng Yibo had his brother's three successes, he wouldn't be changing tricks to ask him for money now.

After complaining for a while, Deng Yibo said again: "Brother Han, I really envy you. There is only uncle at home, so he will definitely not rush you."

This is the most annoying thing about Deng Yibo.Although Han Xilin wouldn't argue with him, he didn't want to say anything more: "I've been out for long enough, it's time to go back to the table."

However, because of Deng Yibo's words, he thought of another thing: Xiao Ke listened to Director Zhong's suggestion recently, pushed a few unreliable invitations, and planned to appear on a food show made by a friend of Director Zhong in the next year.It will be the Spring Festival in half a month. He should go home during this gap, right?I don't know if he wants to rest for a few days, how should he solve his three meals a day?

The more Han Xilin thought about it, the more depressed he became, and his face couldn't help showing a little bit.Deng Yibo, who originally wanted to talk about financing again, shrank aside when he saw the situation, wondering if he said something wrong just now.

After returning to the residence after the entertainment, Han Xilin couldn't wait to ask for clarification.I turned around and found no one. I thought Xiao Ke had already fallen asleep, but when I heard movement in the room, I knocked on the door: "Xiao Ke, are you there?"

"Yes, please come in."

Han Xilin pushed open the half-hidden door according to his words, and just half a step in, he stopped because of the scene he saw.

On the plain wooden floor, Xiao Ke was pressing a horse.Probably because of too much heat, he only wore a vest on his upper body.With the movement of bending over and touching the toes, the clothes slid away, revealing the narrow white waist.The light reflected thin sweat, and against the slender legs, the lines were extraordinarily beautiful.

The lines seemed strangely attractive.Han Xilin's first reaction was to turn his head away, but then he realized that he was not Deng Zairong, so he turned back calmly: "Are you practicing yoga?"

Xiao Ke, who was used to being surrounded by people since he was a child, didn't notice Han Xilin's little strangeness, and said, "No, just practice casually."

Now that he has a healthy body, Xiao Ke wanted to exercise more, so he picked up the basic kung fu taught by his swordsmanship teacher.Originally, he was supposed to practice standing postures, but today he felt a little lazy, so he temporarily changed to stretching his legs and stretching his tendons.

Han Xilin was an outsider, so he said dryly, "He has good skill", and then turned to the topic: "How do you plan to arrange for the New Year?"

"Arrangements?" Xiao Ke, who hadn't celebrated the Spring Festival in modern times, didn't realize it for a while.

"Are you planning to go home to visit your parents? How long will you be going?" Don't take too long.

Parents.Xiao Ke straightened up and straightened his messy hair, feeling a little distressed.

It stands to reason that he should honor his parents for the original owner, but their numbers are not stored in the phone at all.I asked Yu Xiaoyue on the sidelines, but didn't get any definite information.Yu Xiaoyue said that since Xiao Ke ran away from home three years ago, he has never been back, and he does not usually contact his family.

He searched according to the address on his ID card, but found that it had been demolished for two years, and now it is a commercial plaza.He tried to call the property owner, and the other party told him that the residents who moved out paid cash and did not move back.If there is no certificate issued by the relevant department, they cannot disclose the contact information at will.

His common sense can only be used here, and if he goes further, he has to ask for help, but he can't think of any excuse to use for a while.And subconsciously, he still cares about his original relatives, and doesn't want to accept another pair of parents for the time being.

At least this year's New Year's Eve, let him miss his mother, queen, and brother, and not face his current parents for the time being.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ke said, "I don't want to go home, but stay in the apartment, okay?"

Happiness comes too suddenly.But Han Xilin was still worried, so he hit the snake with the stick: "It's too deserted to celebrate the New Year alone, why don't you go to my house?"

Xiao Ke thought, staying alone in the apartment to watch movies and read books, and doing the same things as usual is really boring, so he nodded: "Okay, where is your home? Do you want to book a train ticket?"

"No, it's in this city." Han Xilin thought, in the past Chinese New Year, the drivers and nanny at home were on vacation, and the housekeeping company came to provide services, so he probably wouldn't reveal his identity.As for the father—that unreliable man would at most have a New Year's Eve dinner with them, and then go out and hang out with old friends, it should be fine.

In order to prevent Xiao Ke from being unhappy, Han Xilin said reluctantly: "We will eat ready-made ones at that time, and you just have a day off."

Xiao Ke had no doubt about him, and readily agreed: "Okay."

Everything went well, and Han Xilin went to eat supper contentedly.

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, Han Xilin drove the car himself, and went to the old house of the Han family with Xiao Ke.It was a quadrangle with seven entrances, and now you can't buy it with money.Han Xilin had already prepared a set of excuses, and was going to wait for Xiao Ke to ask, saying that his ancestors bought it very cheaply back then.But Xiao Ke, who has not yet learned this part of common sense, never mentioned this, so he didn't say it.

Walking to the entrance of the alley, from a distance, the door of Han's house was open, and two trucks were parked in front of the door.Chefs in uniforms and department stores streamed in and out, carrying ingredients and various New Year's goods inside.

"My dad likes to spend money suddenly during the Chinese New Year." Han Xilin lied without changing his expression to smooth things over.After finishing speaking, he bypassed the crowd and drove the car into the garage with the modified side door.

The two got out of the car one after the other, and just about to go in, a tall old man dressed in colorful clothes suddenly rushed up, hugged Han Xilin affectionately, and thumped Han Xilin's shoulder vigorously: "You boy can be regarded as coming to see me!" .Did you bring anyone back this year? By the way, do you still like women now?"

Before he finished speaking, he noticed that his son was followed by a handsome young man. The old man opened his mouth wide and closed it after a long time: "Yes, I just asked for nothing. You are an unfilial son. You made such a fuss during the Chinese New Year. You just want to be mad at me." me!"
