Well of Mystery

Jiang Chenglu obviously knew something, because he was used to the stench emanating from the young man in front of him and was not surprised.

The boy also knew that the smell on his body was not attractive, so he just stood at the door and didn't come in.Now it was Bai Xiuqi's turn to be embarrassed. While beckoning the young man to enter the door quickly, he secretly held his breath, endured the soreness all over his body, and limped off the bed.

The scene was so miserable that Jiang Chenglu silently turned his head away, not daring to look at it.

The young man called himself A Tu, and he was a worker in Hu Li's decoration team.Because the Xuanjing apartment was locked last night, the agreed contract was not delivered on time, so Hu Li sent A Tu to deliver it early this morning.

Bai Xiuqi took the thick kraft paper package and poured the contents on the bed.Contract, budget, and a few floor plans.

"Teacher Hu said, please check if you are satisfied with the design and budget. If you are satisfied, please sign the contract."

Bai Xiuqi nodded, and was about to pick up the text to study it carefully, but he heard Jiang Chenglu say from the side: "What are you looking at, sign it."

"Just sign?" Bai Xiuqi almost suspected that her ears were broken: "Do you know how many decoration disputes started from the moment the contract was signed? Why don't you feel bad about co-authoring without spending your money..."

"Contract fraud is a human problem. For monsters, unless they intend to make things difficult for you, if they keep their promises, then there is nothing to say."

Speaking of this, Jiang Chenglu curled his lips again: "Anyway, this is the only one that can decorate in Xuanjing Apartment. If you don't sign it, you have to sign it."

Yo, this place still has a monopoly.

Bai Xiuqi couldn't help but want to say some harsh words, but when he saw A Tu's pitiful expression of nervousness and fear standing beside him, his heart softened.

At this time, Jiang Chenglu leaned into his ear again: "Don't worry, you can sign with confidence and boldly, what else can you ask for on the spot. Hu Li, an old fox, doesn't dare to offend me. If he dares to make a fool of himself, I will kill him." bought his balls and took him to a pet store."

... cruel enough!

Bai Xiuqi couldn't help imagining the depressed look of an old fox with Elizabeth, and suddenly felt pitiful.He looked down at the design drawing again, and felt that there was no obvious problem, and then held up the design drawing that Hu Li had made for Jiang Chenglu's house.

"This is yours, do you want to see it, sign it or not?"

"have a look!"

Jiang Chenglu, who was clamoring to give him trust just now, grabbed the design drawing, in exchange for Bai Xiuqi's blatant contempt.

No matter what, the contract entrusting Foxy to carry out the renovation was finally signed without hesitation.What makes Bai Xiuqi more curious is that although the whole construction is considered as a labor and material contract, Hu Li did not propose to pay any fees in advance in the contract.

"After living for so many years, who can have no family background. Besides, he is not afraid that you will rely on him. If he can run away, the monk can't run away from the temple." Jiang Chenglu explained in this way.

The beautiful boy with body odor, A Tu, took the signed contract, politely said "excuse me", turned around and went downstairs in a hurry.The suffocating smell dissipated immediately, and Bai Xiuqi pressed his chest with one hand while panting heavily.

"I feel like I'm going to suffocate just now."

"Just get used to it, just get used to it." Jiang Chenglu made him a cup of fragrant jasmine tea with great interest.

Bai Xiuqi held the teacup and smelled it for a while, then asked, "Ah Tu is also a vixen?"

"Yes. But be tender, little fox."

"Then why is Hu Lixiang so amazing, but Atu stinks like hell?"

"Well, it's actually a quantitative change leading to a qualitative change." Jiang Chenglu chuckled a few times: "A fox can transform into a human form at the age of 50, and the longer it grows, the more beautiful it will be, and the more it will confuse people. But God is fair. They are good-looking vixens, and the smell on their bodies will be stronger-this can also effectively control the number of humans confused by them. When they reach the level of Hu Li, their practice will not depend on the essence of human beings at all, and they will understand the world The law between them, and no longer randomly attacking humans. At that time, the stink on the body will also turn into a strong fragrance."

Sounds a bit like a stinky version of the ugly duckling.Bai Xiuqi nodded suspiciously.Then I heard from Jiang Chenglu that it is easy to deal with the bewitching of vixen and their stink - as long as you pick the leaves near the nest where they live, soak the mask in the boiled soup, and then cover your mouth and nose with the mask can.

At the end of this little episode of A Tu, the poor bowl of wolfberry and mutton porridge finally entered Bai Xiuqi's stomach before it was completely cold.After getting affirmation of his craftsmanship, Jiang Chenglu cheerfully continued to prepare the ingredients for dinner tonight.

The mutton is cut into pieces and put into a marinade made of pepper, cooking wine, soy sauce, etc.Part of the beef has been processed into meat rolls by Jiulihuai's butcher shop, and the rest is cut into medium-sized steaks for later use.The razor clams and clams were washed and put back into the bucket, with a few drops of sesame oil dripping on the water.In the blink of an eye, Jiang Chenglu, who had already done so many things, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to deal with the black fish in the pool.

After admiring his handsome back silently for a while, Bai Xiuqi got out of bed, put the empty bowl on the stove, and silently picked up a bag of peas with pods and sat down on the edge of the table to peel them.

Jiang Chenglu was afraid that his hemorrhoids would affect his future happiness, so he was about to dissuade him.She saw Bai Xiuqi turning her head towards him ferociously again.

"I'm not that fragile. We agreed that it's my treat, and we still have to do this!"

The protest was ineffective, so the two of them began to divide and cooperate for most of the day.Give the meat to Jiang Chenglu, and leave the vegetables to Bai Xiuqi.

In a blink of an eye, the green peas in the big bowl in front of him had piled up into a hill.For some reason, Bai Xiuqi suddenly remembered that when he was very young, he was "grandly" entrusted by his family during the Chinese New Year to sit in front of the briquette stove and bake egg dumplings.

A spoonful of egg liquid is slowly turned into an egg skin in a large iron spoon, and a little minced meat that the adults have chopped in advance is added.With trembling hands that don’t yet know how to use chopsticks, he carefully clamped one corner of the egg skin and folded it towards the other corner... What he got was not only a small delicacy that symbolized auspiciousness, but also the attention and praise of his family. It is the first warmth of the family.

He came back from his memory and took the processed peas back to the stove.At this time, Jiang Chenglu also started to cook the fat black fish. In order to prevent the fishy smell from permeating the cabin, he specially moved stools, water basins and buckets to sit on the corridor.

Bai Xiuqi leaned against the stove and looked out the window. The fish had been dissected and cleaned.A washboard resting on an enamel washbasin is turned over to become a makeshift chopping board.Jiang Chenglu held down the fish with one hand, and slowly operated the knife with the other hand, accurately and simply cut the fish in two, removed the fish tail and spine, covered it with a layer of gauze, and began beating it with his bare hands.

The rhythmic and steady knocking sound echoed in the corridor in the early morning, like some kind of ancient and solemn ceremony.

After about 5 minutes, the gauze was removed, and the fish had been beaten out of shape.Jiang Chenglu separated the two halves of the cut fish and began to scrape the minced fish.

The silver blade moved swiftly in his hand without any hesitation, the light of the blade even left afterimages.It was only then that Bai Xiuqi discovered that Jiang Chenglu's hands were beautiful, with long fingers and well-proportioned flesh and bones, which were similar to those in art textbooks.

Such hands, in the eyes of those who read palmistry and tell fortunes by touching bones, must be the symbol of emperors and generals, but now its owner is sitting beside a pot of bloody water of killing fish, scraping the minced fish diligently .

Hey...how did this guy manage to have no desires and no desires.

Thinking of this, Bai Xiuqi couldn't help sighing, and Jiang Chenglu who heard the sigh raised his head.

"What are you thinking about again?"

Unable to bother him, Bai Xiuqi had no choice but to recount his mental journey just now.Jiang Chenglu continued to skim the minced fish into the bowl while showing a careless expression.

"Thousands of money can't buy me. I'm happy. Besides, those in high positions may still envy me. I can spend a whole morning making a few fish balls, just to prepare a dinner for the person I like. "

"You just blow it."

Bai Xiuqi grabbed the rag from the stove, walked slowly to Jiang Chenglu's side, and gently wiped off the sweat from his forehead, leaving a few fish scales behind.

Preparations for this huge dinner began in the morning, and by noon, the preprocessing of all the ingredients was completed, and the dishes that needed to be stewed were already on the stove.After a casual lunch, Jiang Chenglu, who was covered in sweat, took a shower, and the two of them took a rest in the afternoon, and in a blink of an eye, it was time for the "decisive battle".

Sunset at dusk.The ping-pong table in the yard played its Nth role——Le Yaochun took out chairs from the online shop and set them up around, Wei Xiangtu and Tao Chuan who came over to eat were helping prepare the dishes, Huayang He is trying to carve a watermelon with Bai Xiuqi for fun, while Xiaohong and Tridacna are watching.

The funniest thing was the guy that Ansand's sister brought in from the flower shop.This is just a very ordinary semicircular glass bowl, which should be used to raise bowl lotus or other aquatic plants.Sister An placed the large bowl in the middle of the ping-pong table, filled it with clean water, and then threw a fist-sized dry moss into it.

Strange to say, the green moss mixed with gold flakes began to spread and swell as soon as it hit the water. After half a minute, the whole water tank became a bright but unobtrusive light source, enough for dinner lighting.

Seeing Bai Xiuqi's surprise, An Shande introduced that this plant is called "Golden Moss", and its vitality is very tenacious. After it is used up, it is collected and dried naturally, and then it naturally stops emitting light and enters a dormant state.

Of course, the most powerful MVP tonight is none other than Jiang Chenglu.All kinds of dishes are being served continuously from the simple stove on the second floor.When the ping-pong table almost couldn't fit, the last big soup was served in the whole pot with arrogance and arrogance.

Attached with the pot was Jiang Chenglu, who had taken off his shirt due to profuse sweat and was shirtless.Although the light at six o'clock in the afternoon has begun to dim, it is enough to illuminate the red or blue marks all over his body.

Seeing these "key points" that he had drawn last night, Bai Xiuqi's head exploded with a bang.
