[Comprehensive] The oriental leader and the steward

When Huamanlou and Lu Xiaofeng came back, they didn't see anyone in the building.

Putting the bought wine on the table, Lu Xiaofeng was about to say something when he smelled a faint fragrance, "Hey! It seems to come from the kitchen. When did you come to cook?"

Hua Manlou shook his head and said, "Not really."

"It makes me hungry, I'll go find something to eat." Lu Xiaofeng said.

Pulling him to hang out all afternoon, it's normal to be hungry, Hua Manlou said: "Then you go!"

After he left, Huamanlou stood in front of the window filled with flowers, feeling the warmth of the setting sun and couldn't help but smile.

When Lu Xiaofeng smelled the fragrance and walked to the back, he saw two people in the kitchen standing in front of the stove from a distance.

Lin Pei was cooking with a spatula, and Dongfang Bubai was beside him passing seasonings from time to time.

After a while, Xu Shi's vegetables were fried. Dongfang Bubai took a plate and handed it over. Lin Pei took it and put the vegetables aside neatly, and put the rest of the pot into a bowl.He took some food from the bowl with chopsticks and brought it to Dongfang Bubai's mouth. After he ate it, he asked something, then handed the bowl to him, put the chopsticks in his hand, and smiled at him softly. Laughing, Lin Pei washed the pot again and started to cook the next dish.

Dongfang Bubai was eating with a bowl while looking at him, his soft expression and the curvature of his lips clearly showed his happy mood at this time.

Standing and watching from a distance for a while, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but look away, always feeling that it would be bad if he passed by now.

But...why not so good?

After stroking his beard, Lu Xiaofeng stopped thinking if he couldn't figure it out, turned around and went upstairs.

In the kitchen, after Dongfang Bubai ate a few bites, he picked up a piece of boneless chicken from the bowl, "Pei..."

Lin Pei turned his head, saw the chicken he had brought over, and opened his mouth to bite it off. Since he was still cooking, he didn't speak, and only smiled at him.

After he swallowed the chicken, Dongfang Bubai fed him another chestnut.

After half a bowl of roast chicken with chestnuts was finished, the dish in Lin Pei's pot was ready, and after serving it up, he put some in his bowl as usual.

Seeing that Lu Xiaofeng came back empty-handed, Hua Manlou said, "Didn't you go to the kitchen to find something to eat?"

Lu Xiaofeng sat down beside him, and suddenly said, "Guess what I saw in the kitchen?"

Hua Manlou said, "What did you see?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "It turns out that Lin Pei is cooking in the kitchen. It looks like his cooking skills are pretty good. We should have a good night."

"What does this have to do with you looking for food?" Hua Manlou asked.

"Because Dongfang Bubai is also inside." After Lu Xiaofeng finished speaking, he added: "I don't know why, but I don't want to disturb them when I see them two inside."

Hua Manlou agreed: "It's really not easy to disturb good friends reuniting."

"Yes! The two of them have such a good relationship!" Lu Xiaofeng laughed.

Looking at the wine on the table, Lu Xiaofeng felt that he hadn't been in any trouble recently, and he had met two new friends, so it was really worth having a good drink.

Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand towards the wine jar, Hua Manlou closed the fan in his hand to block him, and said, "They haven't come out yet, are you going to drink alone?"

"Anyway, the wine bought back must be enough to drink." He did not exert much strength at first, but Lu Xiaofeng brought the jar of wine in front of him with a twist of his fingers.

Seeing Hua Manlou shaking his head and smiling, Lu Xiaofeng opened the wine, directly touched two teacups from the table, poured them [-]% full and pushed a cup to him, then said: "The two of them have already eaten in the kitchen, It's okay if we drink in the building for a while."

Picking up the glass and taking a sip of the wine, Lu Xiaofeng gave a praise, then raised the glass again to clink with Hua Manlou.In this way, Hua Manlou picked up the cup in front of him and drank with him.

After drinking for a while, Hua Manlou got up suddenly, just as Lu Xiaofeng was about to ask him what he was doing, he saw him step aside and turned on the lamp.

Not long after the building was illuminated by warm light, the smell of food wafted in, and then Lin Pei and Dongfang Bubai walked in.

Lu Xiaofeng jumped up, and went to take the tray in Lin Pei's hand, "It smells so good, what delicious food did you make?"

Here Lin Pei has already put the dishes on the Dongfang Bubai tray on the table, while Lu Xiaofeng is still standing there studying the dishes in his hands.

Just as Dongfang Bubai was about to say something, Hua Manlou had already spoken, "Lu Xiaofeng, are you going to stand there until you're full?"

Reminded by him jokingly, Lu Xiaofeng quickly walked to the table in two steps, and put the dishes on the table neatly.

After setting it up, as soon as he sat down, he heard Dongfang Bubai say, "Lu Xiaoji, there is still a pot of soup in the kitchen."

"Oh." After a sound, he found that he continued to look at him, and Lu Xiaofeng stood up and said, "I'll serve it." After speaking, he left like a gust of wind, and came back like a gust of wind, and put a pot of soup on the table middle.

This meal Lin Pei originally wanted to thank Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou, so he cooked it very sumptuously.

After several people sat down, Lin Pei said: "This time I can reunite with Dongfang so quickly, thank you both, I borrowed the kitchen to cook some dishes, I hope you don't feel disgusted."

"If you are more polite, we will really dislike you." Lu Xiaofeng said.

"I can't help you much. If brother Lin is more polite, I won't dare to eat food later." Hua Manlou laughed.

Lin Pei smiled and said, "Then we don't have to be polite."

"Seeing these dishes, I don't want to be polite for a long time." After speaking, Lu Xiaofeng had already picked up the chopsticks and ate the chicken in his mouth, then his eyes lit up, and after picking up a few chopsticks, he started to eat another plate of tofu with shrimp oil .

"Brother Lin's cooking skills are really good." Hua Manlou said after tasting a few dishes.

I lived in this Baihua Building for a few days, and although I didn't communicate much with him, Dongfang Bubai appreciated this person who was blind, but not decadent or depressed, but faced life with a smile all day long.Listening to him praise Lin Pei's craftsmanship, he curled his lower lip and said, "Pei's vinegared fish is very good."

Hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng raised his hand and stuffed a piece into his mouth, then said: "It's really good."

"It's better than the vinegar fish tasted by the West Lake." Hua Manlou also said after tasting it.

"As long as you like it." Lin Pei smiled, and gave Dongfang Bubai the thorned fish.

"Don't just eat the food, Qitong and I even bought wine." After eating half full, Lu Xiaofeng finally remembered what was missing, brought the jug and glasses, and poured a glass for everyone, " Come, come, drink."

It had been a long time since Baihualou was so lively.Eating and drinking with them, Hua Manlou smiled.

"Speaking of which, it's a good thing I only know Dongfang Bubai now." After almost eating, Lu Xiaofeng suddenly said while holding the wine glass.

Dongfang Bubai glanced at him, picked up the fish in the bowl and continued to eat.It was Lin Pei who asked, "Why do you say that?"

Lu Xiaofeng didn't hold back, and said directly: "If I knew him earlier, I would definitely suspect that he is an embroidery thief."

Now Hua Manlou was also curious, and asked, "Why?"

"With the embroidery needle as a weapon, if I knew him back then, I would be the first to doubt him." Lu Xiaofeng laughed.

"What's the matter with the Embroidered Thief?" Lin Pei asked.

"You don't know?" This matter was known all over the world, and after hearing that he said that he didn't know, Lu Xiaofeng was surprised for a while, and seeing his expression, he really didn't know, so he said: "A while ago, in the world, A man who can embroider appeared..."

Lu Xiaofeng's storytelling ability is quite good, even compared with the storytellers in teahouses, it's not bad.

However, even so, he lost interest after hearing Dongfang Bubai glance at him from behind.

Noticing his contemptuous gaze, Lu Xiaofeng stopped the story and said, "You don't want to hear it anymore?"

"If you know who the Embroidery Thief is, what's the point?" Dongfang Bubai said.

"You know?" He hasn't talked about the result yet, did he think it was Mrs. Gongsun?Lu Xiaofeng probed: "Then who are you talking about?"

"Jin Jiuling." Dongfang Bubai said.

Hearing him tell the truth, Lu Xiaofeng was startled, and said, "You really didn't know about this before?"

Dongfang Bubai ignored him, Lin Pei smiled and said, "We really didn't know about this before."

After he said that, Lu Xiaofeng looked at Dongfang Bubai and said, "Then why do you think it's Jin Jiuling?"

Dongfang Bubai said: "Isn't it obvious that a thief is calling for a thief?"

Lu Xiaofeng didn't say anything, and looked at Huamanlou with a shocked face.

"Jin Jiuling is your friend, it's common sense that you didn't suspect him at first. Besides, you didn't find out the truth in the end." Hua Manlou relieved.

Lu Xiaofeng nodded, his expression just turned a little better, Dongfang Bubai glanced at him and said: "You should be really lucky."

"Why?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.

Dongfang Bubai said: "If I were the embroidery thief, you would be dead."

Thinking of his martial arts, Lu Xiaofeng was deeply impressed, but thinking that he was not an embroidery thief anyway, so his expression didn't change much.

However, Dongfang Bubai said again: "If you had known me a long time ago, then you would have died to find the real embroidery thief."

So meeting friends also has to be at the right time?

Lu Xiaofeng who was hit again looked at Huamanlou again.

Lu Xiaofeng didn't find out, but Lin Pei and Hua Manlou found out that Dongfang Bubai would say that, and it was completely because Lu Xiaofeng compared him with a big thief and was a little unhappy.

So, Hua Manlou took a sip from his glass and said to Lin Pei, "Brother Lin, what do you think of this wine?"

"Very good." Lin Pei said, picking up the jug to refill Dongfang Bubai's empty glass.

"This Zhuyeqing is really good." Dongfang Bubai said.

Hua Manlou introduced with a smile: "The bamboo leaves here are mellow and sweet. It is said that the brewer..."

Lu Xiaofeng who was ignored: "..."
