royal family

"..." Shao Yan put the stainless steel basin on the table, stared at the fragments and said, "This is your father's purple clay pot."

Yan Daichuan finally understood why the black and oily pile on the ground looked so familiar. Thinking of his father's concern for these collections, he immediately had a headache, and he didn't have the time to be irritable. He supported Bo Gutong and sighed slightly: " fine."

Shao Yan could see that something was wrong with him, and before he could investigate further, he caught a glimpse of Yan's nanny dancing to him not far away with her back turned to Yan Daichuan.The nanny's expression was very vivid, her legs were bent like a monkey and her chest was fisted, and she pointed at Yan Daichuan with a ferocious expression.

Shao Yan understood, and nodded to her, the aunt made a gesture of asking for blessings, and ran away on tiptoe.

He bought a lot of things for himself recently, and Shao Yan couldn't completely keep Yan Daichuan's matter out of it.Seeing the other party squatting and starting to pick up the debris, he found a clean trash can and ran over to help.

Yan Daichuan lowered his head, his eyes fell on his fingers without blinking, the anger that was brewing in his heart has almost dissipated now.When he finally calmed down a bit, Shao Yan suddenly approached him, squatting one step away from him, lowering his head to help him clean up the trash together.

Yan Daichuan's gaze followed him.

Shao Yan stretched out his hand, with long and slender fingers, and gently picked up the debris on the ground and put it into the trash can.The fragments of the teapot are purple-brown, and together with Shao Yan's snow-white skin, the effect is dizzying.Yan Daichuan couldn't help raising his head. Shao Yan, who was bowing his head, looked quiet and focused. Because his thin white neck was drooping, several sharply curved joints protruded from the spine.Under the light, his neck can be seen the light-colored thin fluff, and the soft new hair is curled at the hairline. Yan Daichuan is very aware of how comfortable they are to the touch. For a moment, everything in front of him seems incomparable charming.

Shao Yan picked it up by himself for a while, seeing that Yan Daichuan was not moving, he also raised his head to look at him, just happened to meet his deep gaze, and couldn't help being startled.He felt a strange feeling in his heart because of this unexpected staring, as if the surrounding temperature was slowly rising little by little.The other party's gaze was too direct and forceful, which gave Shao Yan the illusion that he had been penetrated.

"What are you doing?" A voice suddenly appeared not far away broke the weird atmosphere here, and the two people who were speechless turned their heads away from the shout.When Yan Daichuan saw his mother's face, he couldn't help scolding his mother in his heart. After thinking about it, he secretly told himself that this was wrong, and as if nothing had happened, he looked away and continued to pick up the debris.The short-lived emotion left no trace in Shao Yan's heart. He naturally raised his hand and waved in Li Yuke's direction: "Auntie, please keep your voice down. Brother Xiaochuan beat uncle's teapot."

Li Yuke smiled kindly at Shao Yan, walked quickly to pull him up, opened Shao Yan's hand and looked at it, and found no wound on it, but still patted his palm reproachfully: "Go and pick it up Well? I scratched your hand in a while. Didn’t you mean to make squirrel mandarin fish? Go and do your work, I’m fine here.”

It was only then that Shao Yan remembered the bowl of noodle paste that he had almost forgotten, and looked back at Yan Daichuan. Seeing that the other party was not looking at him, he thought that the strange atmosphere just now was because he was thinking too much, so he hurried to the kitchen.

Shao's mother squatted beside her son, tidying up the mess on the ground.From time to time, she glanced secretly, and saw her son's face was calm and couldn't see anything wrong, but she was still a little uneasy in her heart, so she couldn't help but say a few more words: "Do you remember what we said that day?"

Yan Daichuan gave her a deep look, as if he didn't hear, tied up the garbage bag and took it out without a pause, holding it in his hand and walking quickly towards the kitchen.

"Xiao Chuan?!" Li Yuke didn't realize it at first, and followed Yan Daichuan's back all the way to the kitchen, and then let out a long sigh full of helplessness.The conversation with her son a few days ago was based on guesswork, but Yan Daichuan's intentional refusal to go home to avoid Shao Yan made Li Yuke feel bad.She didn't quite know how likely her deduction that day was, but these days, whenever Shao Yan asked him if Yan Daichuan had encountered any difficulties at work and therefore didn't go home for dinner, he always felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

Her mood also became bad, and her chest was always filled with a little worry, but when she thought that today was the New Year's Eve, she couldn't make any move to follow up the kitchen to find out.Speaking of which, what she said before was a private secret between her and Yan Daichuan's mother and son. Li Yuke didn't even disclose the details of the conversation to her husband.In order to accept their son's sexual orientation, the couple had self-educated for several years. After all, it was not something that everyone could accept. Let Shao Yan know that the two of them would not even be able to be brothers, and Li Yuke was not happy to see it. of.

Shao Yan was stirring the batter he had prepared, when he saw Yan Daichuan coming in, he couldn't help but look twice more, met his gaze, and laughed for some reason.

Yan Daichuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and took a marker to write the debris marks on the label of the garbage bag. After finishing these, he quietly leaned on the cabinet and watched Shao Yan busy.Shao Yan has long been used to being watched by others with his apprentices, and he doesn't feel uncomfortable. He raised the knife to cut the sashimi into diamonds, put on the marinade, and cut the squid. They couldn't help but immerse themselves in it.

Shao Yan had an inexplicable feeling that the atmosphere in the small kitchen was very warm, but it was impossible to let Yan Daichuan sit idle and watch the show.Yan Daichuan, who was sent to wash the vegetables, unceremoniously broke off the leaves of the vegetables, and couldn't help but open his mouth while washing: "How is today's episode?"

"Not bad, it went very well." Shao Yan recalled today's shooting, somewhat aftertaste in his heart.The process of recording the program was simpler than he had imagined, and there was no such thing as harsh treatment that Shao's father had been talking about all the time. The attitude of the staff was so cautious that it was almost respectful. Other guests invited by the program team Although he is old, but his level is limited, he dare not take Joe in front of him.Before filming, there was a script back, and many plots were pre-planned. Shao Yan was not an active person, so he sat on the big soft sofa in front of the host seat to answer questions throughout the whole process, and wrote a picture during the halftime.Other than not knowing why girls in the audience were screaming at him, everything else was a treasured experience.

Seeing that Shao Yan seemed to be in a good mood, Yan Daichuan felt a little uncomfortable, and he said insincerely, "I also saw the photo of you being photographed on the radio, with that Chi Wei, how did the two of you meet?" ? Chi Wei is your friend?"

Shao Yan was taken aback, and subconsciously asked: "Where did you see my photo?" After pondering Yan Daichuan's question, he answered: "I met him when I got out of the elevator, and he said that I was not familiar with the program for the first time. , so take me with you."

Yan Daichuan was determined, his tone became lighter, and he forced his posture again: "I thought you were friends. I noticed Wang Feimu last time when you went to drink with him. He looks pretty good."

Shao Yan paused inexplicably, and turned to look at Yan Daichuan's expression. Seeing that the other party said such words, his expression was still calm. For some reason, he suddenly became upset, and raised his hand to throw back the fish that was still cooking. In the basin.

Yan Daichuan peeked at him: "What's wrong with you?"

Shao Yan frowned and knocked on the basin: "You have washed that dish for half an hour."

Yan Daichuan hurriedly did a good job, and Shao Yan over there beat a pot of egg whites and used them to fry the fish maw. He seemed to be concentrating on cooking, and stopped talking to Yan Daichuan.His emotions are usually on his face, Yan Daichuan can't see that he is angry unless he is a fool, and he doesn't know why he is angry for a while, and he even dare not make a sound when he is panting.There are a lot of dishes to be prepared for the New Year's Eve dinner, and Shao Yan can't do it all by himself. Before long, the nannies and aunts brought by the Shao family and the Yan family's own came in to help.They are all good at work, I don't know how many times better than Yan Daichuan, and they quickly divided up all kinds of work.Yan Daichuan had no room to use his talents, and he didn't want to give up the rare opportunity to be with Shao Yan, so he stayed in the kitchen with a stern face and refused to leave.

Shao Yan seemed to have an idea of ​​the menu for the New Year's Eve dinner, and the washed ingredients were quickly processed in different ways and put aside.Yan Daichuan saw that he was picking chicken with a sharp knife, but he didn't know how to do it. With one stroke of the blade like a snake, the chicken bone was shaved cleanly.During this period, his eyes were fixed on the chicken, and he still had such an unhappy expression on his face, which made Yan Daichuan feel a little cold in his heart for some reason.

Shao Yan's face was stern, but the flour marks from just now were still on his face. Not to mention the sharp contrast between Bai Shengsheng's flour and his fair face, it was a bit funny after all.Yan Daichuan watched for a while, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to wipe it for him. Shao Yan didn't hide, but was touched for no reason, and looked suspiciously at Yan Daichuan.Only then did Yan Daichuan realize what he had done, and spread out his palms in embarrassment: "There is something on your face, let me wipe it off for you."

Shao Yan felt a little itchy on his face, so he raised his hand to wipe it off.

He felt better again.

The aroma of vegetables began to gradually diffuse in this small space.

The meals for the New Year's Eve dinner are mainly meat dishes, supplemented by vegetarian dishes, and chicken, duck and fish are essential.Shao Yan made a squirrel mandarin fish, a steamed grouper, an old duck soup with mountain bamboo shoots, and fried chicken nuggets with his pickled sour radish. Yan Xi and Yan Changle, who came home early, came over to serve the dishes Sneaking food, both brothers were surprised to see that the hall brother who is always in the dark these days is actually in the kitchen.

Yan Daichuan used his eyes to repel the pests, but with little effect.On New Year's Eve, everyone seemed to let go of their emotions. After a whole year of busyness and twists and turns, it was rare to have such a day of complete relaxation. The younger brothers began to commit crimes, pretending not to see their eldest brother's ugly face.Yan Xi was trying to open the wine over there, and after being coquettish for a long time, Shao Yan couldn't help it anymore, and told the place where the wine was hidden.Yan Xi dug out from the bottom of the cabinet a large altar of flower wine that was already in short supply in the imperial gate mat, and jumped happily.Seeing their mannerisms, Yan Daichuan gradually relaxed himself, he couldn't maintain the calm expression on his face, and looked at Shao Yan with a faint smile in his eyes.

Shao Yan occasionally met his eyes, and couldn't help but feel that the noise around him quieted down.Yan Daichuan, who was leaning next to him, stared at him from the beginning to the end, as if an invisible barrier was separated by his sight, and only the two of them were left in the barrier.Although I don't know why, Shao Yan still likes Yan Daichuan seeing him like this.This seems to be a little different from ordinary people's attention, Yan Daichuan's eyes are also different from Tian Xiaotian and the others.

Shao Yan's sleeve slipped down, Yan Daichuan was the first to see it, and before Shao Yan could speak, he walked behind him and said, "I'll help you pull it up."

Shao Yan's hands were oily, and he also disliked his dirty hands. After Yan Daichuan's familiar smell enveloped him, he gave his arms to him with confidence.Yan Daichuan stuck to Shao Yan's back, and couldn't help but smile when he felt the weight of the other party obediently leaning on him. He grabbed Shao Yan's arm with one hand, and slowly folded the slipped sleeve twice with the other hand, and found that the other party's hand was He wears a mechanical watch that he personally picked.The silver metal strap is very wide, but Shao Yan's forearm is very slender. Compared with the two, there is a beauty of strong and soft collision.The smooth skin in his hands made him reluctant to let go for a long time.

Yan Xi, who scooped up the wine, stared stupidly at the two people who were close, and saw Yan Daichuan rubbing Shao Yan's wrist lightly, blushing for some reason, and couldn't help asking: "Brother, are you eating Shao Yan's tofu?" ah?"

eat your mother.

Yan Daichuan realized that he seemed to have done something outrageous again, but still obediently glanced at Yan Xi coldly. Yan Xi was almost scared to pee by his eyes. Thinking of what he said just now, he began to slap his ear in his heart. Hold the wine jar buttocks and go out.

Because of the watch, Yan Daichuan began to pay attention to Shao Yan's clothes. The style of the clothes covered by the apron is not clear, but it is obvious from the pattern and color of the knitting on the back that this is the season's new style that he personally selected. .The pants fit well according to estimates, and the dark gray denim material tightly wrapped Shao Yan's thin and long legs. Especially when viewed from the back, Shao Yan's waist-to-leg ratio was far better than that of ordinary people.The satisfaction in Yan Daichuan's heart is indescribable when he sees the clothes he personally picked on the person he likes. His gaze swept over Shao Yan from beginning to end, and the air seemed to be on fire.His presence is so strong that the aunts couldn't ignore it even if they wanted to. They all felt that the huge space in the kitchen had become cramped for some reason, and they couldn't figure out what the atmosphere between Shao Yan and Yan Daichuan was.Occasionally, the eyes that people meet with each other are full of helplessness and confusion.

The way of getting along seems to have returned to the feeling when he first entered the house. Yan Daichuan sticks to Shao Yan's side, always feeling that the other party's actions such as cutting matsutake are exceptionally different from ordinary people, so he can't look away.The thin slices of matsutake were thrown into the stock pot by Shao Yan to remove the stew. The center of the clear stock was filled with fine bubbles, and the unremarkable matsutake was devoured invisible in one go.The aroma wafted out the moment the lid of the pot was lifted, Yan Daichuan squinted his eyes, and could roughly distinguish the taste of Shao Yan's specialty dish: "Are you making Baijun soup?"

"It's amazing, you can smell it." Shao Yan gave him an appreciative glance, and as soon as he raised his hand, Yan Daichuan handed over the cleaned boletus with a wink.Heat oil, cook in a wok, and stir-fry mushrooms. This 27-bacteria soup is also one of the most popular signature dishes of Yumenxi.The whole dish is made of mushrooms from the soup base to the raw materials. The texture and taste of various mushrooms from different places and different flavors are combined. The finished product is not weak at all. On the contrary, because of the combination of different mushrooms, the aroma will appear A deliciousness that is completely different from meat soup.There are [-] or eight kinds of mushrooms in one soup, each of which has its own unique processing method, and the process is quite troublesome.

Yan Daichuan loves this soup the most, followed by Shao Yan’s stewed ham and fish maw. The combination of the aroma of ham and the stickiness of fish maw is also a rare and high-quality dish.Seeing his favorite dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner, he was in a great mood, and couldn't help showing his sullenness, saying good things: "I can smell your dishes as soon as I smell them. Those famous Gumei restaurants in S city, I think The taste is just average, how can it have half your taste?"

Shao Yan likes to be flattered, especially Yan Daichuan, who likes to be flattered. Hearing it once is really relaxing.It's just that he didn't understand the meaning of the other party's words: "What is Gumei Restaurant? I haven't heard of a restaurant with this name in S City."

"You don't know Gumei Restaurant?" Yan Daichuan looked surprised. Is there anyone in the food industry who doesn't know Gumei Restaurant?However, thinking about Shao Yan’s memory loss before, he could somewhat understand the reason, and patiently explained, “It’s not that the name is Gumei Restaurant. It’s an organization called Gumei that originated in France, and it’s always looking for delicious food all over the world. The restaurant. This organization has a history of many years and is also very authoritative. The selection method is very strict and private. After meeting their standards, ordinary restaurants will be crowned with the name of Gumei Restaurant. It is an honor. "

Shao Yan frowned: "Whether my craftsmanship is good or not, I still need them to judge me?"

Yan Daichuan laughed, and felt that the other party's face full of pride and self-esteem was really cute: "It's not judgmental, they won't express their opinions if they haven't been judged, the selection of restaurants is done in private, and the owner of the restaurant won't get wind of it The standards of Gumei are very strict, and there are many benefits after being rated. The name of this restaurant will be known all over the world. Mr. Mao, who is very close to you, his restaurant was rated as two stars in Gumei more than ten years ago. Since then, the business has skyrocketed. The whole family regards this as a great honor."

Shao Yan lowered his head and poured the fragrant porcini mushrooms into the soup bag and put them in the pot to cook, but his heart was already moved by Yan Daichuan's explanation.The Mao family is quite rich, and they have raised a large number of relatives. I heard that there are restaurants everywhere. In this way, it seems that it has something to do with the honor of the restaurant.Needless to say, Shao Yan is still very confident in his craftsmanship, and it seems that a review of such a restaurant will have a considerable positive impact on his business.

He couldn't stop thinking about it for a while, and forgot to put back the lid of the pot that was raised in his hand. The aroma was floating everywhere with the bubbling soup, and people began to peek outside the kitchen waiting for the meal.

Shao's father only came back when it was getting dark, and when Shao's mother complained that he came back too late, he just smiled.Seeing his strange expression, Mother Shao couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?"

Father Shao glanced at her, weighed in his mind for a moment, and answered truthfully: "Wei Bo called me."

"Who?" Shao's mother froze for a moment, then slowly raised her brows, "Zhao Weibo? Where did he get your call from?"

"I don't know." Seeing his wife's expression that was about to die of anger, Shao's father quickly comforted her, patted her on the back and coaxed her, "He didn't say anything, just told me that he didn't talk to me anymore. The second child and his family are working, and asked me if there is any shortage of people in the store in S City, and said that they can come here to help us."

"You shameless thing!" Shao's mother was so angry that her hair stood on end, "How dare he come back to us again! Huh? At the most difficult time, he just left. Now that we are better, he looks back and wants to reconcile." , Bah! How can there be such a cheap thing in the world! You didn't promise him, did you?"

Shao's father was worried that his wife would still miss the old relationship, so he didn't agree or directly refuse on the phone.After all, Shao's mother was spoiled by her parents with kindness and soft-heartedness since she was a child, so she may not be able to see her younger brother who grew up with her downcast.Seeing his wife's attitude now, he is also relieved, although it is not too much to support a person, but he is somewhat intimidated by Zhao Weibo's duplicitous attitude.He looked at his eyes full of worry like seeing his wife staring at his deer, his heart softened all of a sudden, and he hurriedly replied: "How could I agree, he did that kind of thing before, and it will only take a few minutes to betray us in the future I mainly heard from him that the second child’s family is not doing well now, and the hotel where Dad stayed seems to have been ruined, and he has been losing money, so I think more about it.”

Mother Shao breathed a sigh of relief, thought about his words, and snorted softly: "Shao Yubo and the others are not suitable for business. When Dad was here, he used to engage in crooked ways and always let you take the blame. In the past, in City A Sometimes I don’t do good business, and I just think about how to hurt Yanyan all day long... I’m yuck!" She said that she was emotional again when she thought of Shao Yan’s fall, and Shao’s father was afraid that she would make him angry, so he immediately got out of the bag. Pulling out a check to distract her.

Shao's mother stared blankly at the string of zero hours on the check: "Why so much money?"

"The turnover of restaurants in City A and City S has been doing well recently. With several restaurants together, City S will be able to pay back after a while." Shao's father stroked his wife's fluffy and soft hair, with gratitude in his eyes, " Your sister has helped us so much, so if you have money, you should pay back what you borrowed before, and more than 5000 million is not a small number."

Shao's mother patted his hand and said angrily, "I just blew on my head, and you touched it again. What should I do when I eat later?"

Father Shao stared at him with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness: "It looks good even if it's collapsed. You look the best."

The house is lingering with the lingering aroma of vegetables, the sky is getting darker, and the lights are lit up one by one, which is more and more cheerful and lively in the New Year.Yan Xi and the others took the Spring Festival couplets written by Shao Yan to the door and posted them. Shao Yan and the others were busy serving dishes, and Yan Yi searched for his missing teapot all over the room. Is the teapot there? I remember I put it there."

The aunts all shook their heads, he usually likes to mess things up, who knows where he just threw them.Yan Yi was a little anxious, this was a treasure he had just entrusted someone to bring from City Y, and he hadn't enjoyed it a few times, and he liked to take it with him wherever he went, why did it suddenly disappear?

Yan Daichuan came out with the mushroom soup that was still boiling, but he stopped him: "Did you see my teapot?"

Yan Daichuan missed the aroma of the soup, and replied casually: "No."

Shao Yan who came out with the eight-treasure rice was also held back: "Did you see my teapot?"

Shao Yan heard Yan Daichuan's answer just now, so he paused for a moment, and then said, "No."

Yan Daichuan put down the soup, thinking that Shao Yan's eyes open and talking nonsense was really funny, so he put his arms around his shoulders and looked down at him.Shao Yan leaned against him with a smile on his face, and bumped into his stomach, his eyes full of tacit understanding.Yan Daichuan stared at his face, really wanted to bow his head to kiss him, but reason overwhelmed his impulse, and abruptly stopped his approaching head.

Yan Yi didn't notice the intimacy of the two young people, he stood in distress and touched his stomach to recall, thinking about it, he felt as if he had put the teapot in the dining room.

Li Yuke stood in the corner and watched the interaction between her son and Shao Yan. The two talked and laughed together and made eye contact. She could feel the intimate atmosphere from far away.Feeling helpless and worried at the same time, she was so annoyed that her husband asked her, "Have you seen my purple sand pot? The one at Yuzuikou..."

"No, no, no!" Li Yuke didn't have time to pay attention to him, and waved impatiently, "What are you messing around again? Your pots and bottles are everywhere in the house. Next time, if you litter, I will directly throw the trash for you." Bucket go!"

Yan's father lost something and was scolded, and he felt extremely wronged.The house is filled with a happy New Year's atmosphere, and he is the only one who is so out of place.Li Yuke felt much more at ease after scolding him, and went up to help Shao Yan with a wave of her sleeves. After the fragrant roast suckling pig was served, the small teapot that was still hovering in Yan Yi's head was immediately thrown away.

There are home-cooked dishes on the table, but home-cooked dishes are by no means ordinary home-cooked taste.The combination of the strong aroma of vegetables and the sweetness of the wine made from flowers made everyone excited.

The protein fish maw is delicious, the mushroom soup is sweet and smooth, and it is served with the eight-treasure rice that is sweet but not greasy. It is rare for everyone to take time off when they have no time to say auspicious words on New Year's Eve. Come to toast each other.

Yan Daichuan was sitting next to Shao Yan, it was rare that he didn't want to keep suppressing himself after a year, and put his arms around Shao Yan's shoulders as if they were good friends.Shao Yan had never had a New Year's Eve dinner like this. The table was full of relatives, and the atmosphere was lively and intimate. He was happy and drank a lot with various congratulations.

The taste of the flower wine is low, but the reaction is strong. Shao Yan, who has a drinking capacity, is a little confused after not drinking much, and he becomes more and more excited, and keeps arguing with Yan Xi and his juniors.

He wasn't happy that Yan Daichuan took his wine glass. Shao's mother stared at her son lovingly, waved her hand and said, "Let him drink."

Shao Yan swiped a set of punches, and lost in a daze.Dazed, he was downed a few more glasses of wine, almost forgot his last name, got up and sat in Yan Daichuan's arms, refusing to come out no matter who pulled him.

Li Yuke was dumbfounded.
