Ghosts have fairies

After experiencing the turmoil in the first few days of marriage, Qi Tong's married life gradually calmed down, and the ordinary life often passed quickly, until the shops and fruit stands in the streets and alleys were filled with watermelons, Qi Tong was surprised that the time was actually It has gone from late spring to midsummer.

Wu Min successfully joined the Baiwei Xiaorong hot pot restaurant, not only managing the official account and official Weibo, but also serving as a waiter in the dessert shop specially set up by the hot pot restaurant.

Qi Tong persuaded her not to be so tired, but the other party forced her to stay in the store on the grounds that "feeling life is good for copywriting".It is said that hot pot is a way of eating that can bring people closer. Apart from wine, hot pot can often bring out the most real emotions in people's hearts the fastest, whether it is complaints about work, bitterness of secret love, reluctance to part, high test scores Whether it's the joy of being in love or the gossip about anecdotes and anecdotes, etc., as long as the pot is opened, all the flavors of the world can be melted into it.

Qi Tong thought it was very good, and silently increased her salary.

Last month, when Wu Min was taking pictures in the store to collect materials, he accidentally photographed him, and posted it on Weibo and official accounts, which attracted a large number of diners who came to see his face, and now every meal and holiday There are three long queues outside the hot pot restaurant.

For this reason, Wu Min also specially issued a statement, saying that the boss does not come to the store often, and hopes that everyone will consume rationally and never gamble.Later, Pluto laughed at him for half a month when he heard about this, saying that he had lived for more than 600 years and finally realized that he could rely on his face to eat.

When Qi Tong came to the store this day, as soon as he entered the door, he received dozens of pairs of eyes. What's more, there were people who raised their mobile phones. .

He pretended to walk in nonchalantly, and pulled Fang Xu past the cash register into the small dessert shop.

"Stinky boy, what are you doing so mysteriously?" Fang Xu was tall and thin, and almost lost his footing when he was pulled by the young man.

Qi Tong smiled, "Uncle Fang, may I ask you something?"

Seeing his sly smile, Fang Xu had a premonition that it would not be a good thing, "What?"

"I have eaten so many meals of your cooking before, and I think they are very delicious. Yan Chuan and Changying also said the same!"

"Ah." Fang Xu listened silently with his hands behind his back. He couldn't believe that this kid came here specially to praise him, "Want to eat my cooking?"

"No." Qi Tong cleared his throat embarrassingly, and whispered, "Can you teach me how to cook?"

"..." Fang Xu stared at the young master in silence for a while, stretched out his little finger to dig his ears, and moved a little closer, "What did you say?"

"I'm not kidding." Qi Tong straightened his back and put on what he thought was the most sincere expression, "I really want to learn to cook."

"Why are you so overwhelmed all of a sudden?" Fang Xu was very confused, "Who do you want to poison to death?"

Qi Tong: "..."

In fact, the reason why Qi Tong wants to learn to cook is still related to He Zhen. Half a month ago, a Jiangnan restaurant opened at the gate of the community. He Zhen was addicted to it once he tried it, but the business was so good that the restaurant did not provide takeaway service. He Zhen went to the store to eat for half a month, and even bought millet cakes and rice cakes from there for breakfast.

The owner is a young girl from a wealthy Jiangnan family, she ran here to open a restaurant to experience life.He Zhen is good-looking and eats delicious food. Qi Tong found the shop owner sitting on the counter with his chin propped up more than once, secretly looking at He Zhen.Until yesterday, when He Zhen put his mobile phone on the dining table while taking a shower, Qi Tong accidentally saw the female shopkeeper send him a WeChat message, explaining what kind of dishes were left for tomorrow.

Good guy, this is all added to WeChat!Although He Zhen's remark to others was a straightforward and serious "Jiangnan restaurant proprietress", but Qi Tong still felt uncomfortable, so he was surprised, couldn't the girl see the wedding ring on He Zhen's finger?

But the 600-year-old young master of the underworld felt that it was too cheap to be angry with a 20-year-old girl, so he decided to start from the source and cook by himself, leaving the proprietress of the Jiangnan restaurant with nothing to cook.

Perhaps it was his sincere desire to study that moved Fang Xu, who happened to be in the morning and afternoon shifts the next day, so he decided to let Qi Tong go to his house tomorrow evening to buy some good food.The novice in the kitchen who was looking forward to and apprehensive began to preview the recipes when he got home, and even searched the search engine for how to buy fresh dishes.

The young master of the underworld, who had watched dozens of videos, felt a little guilty at first, but when he saw He Zhen walking in with the packaging box from the Jiangnan restaurant, his fighting spirit was rekindled.

"What are you doing?" After taking a shower, Qi Tong came out of the master bedroom wiping his hair, and immediately saw He Zhen sitting on the table next to the window in the study carving something.

He Zhen cut the bottom of a piece of wood into a round shape, and carefully put the stone that Qi Tong gave him into the middle of the base, and then said: "Carve a tumbler."

Speaking of that little thing, Qi Tong suddenly became interested, walked around him and sat down, watching him seriously use spiritual power to combine the finished base with the unformed torso, and then used The pencil outlines the positions of the features and the outline of the body.

Sawdust fell lightly on the table, and a human-shaped tumbler took shape, which was very round and cute.Perhaps it was because the "cute, want" in Qi Tong's eyes was too obvious, He Zhen took a carving knife and just scratched the eyebrow and humerus, and couldn't help turning his head to look at him, "I'll carve one for you too."

Qi Tong stared blankly at the other party as if he hadn't realized it, which means... can he also have a little Hezhen!

"I'll give you my stone!" With a smile on his face, he offered his own stone with both hands. Qi Tong was already thinking about how to cook one hundred and eight dishes to thank his spouse in a fancy way.

The next afternoon, Qi Tong confessed to He Zhen that he was going to help Fang Xu's house in the evening and would not come back for dinner.Unexpectedly, He Zhen didn't know who he was chatting with, and he was looking at his phone so intently that he nodded and sent him off without even looking at him.

"I said Mrs. Young Master." Qi Tong looked at him from the porch, pretending to be dissatisfied and complained: "Isn't the correct way to say goodbye should be hugging and kissing and reluctantly letting the other party come back early? Who are you chatting with?" How about working hard then? After being married for less than a hundred days, I hate seeing each other... Hey you..."

In the middle of his speech, He Zhen suddenly came over and hugged him, but he just said it casually, he didn't expect the other party to be so obedient, which actually made him a little embarrassed.

"Go home early." He Zhen looked up at him in his arms, and then said, "Emperor Concubine Qi."

After he finished speaking, he ran into the study in a hurry, and by the time Qi Tong realized it, no one was there.Qi Tong laughed, and went out in a good mood with the keys around the house. When he bought vegetables and fruits in the shopping mall and waited in line to pay, he thought for a while and took out his mobile phone, and changed He Zhen's note from "little fairy" to "Young Lady".

"Not bad, young man." Fang Xu opened the bags of vegetables on the dining table, "I didn't expect you to be good at buying vegetables, they are all fresh!"

"Really?" Qi Tong, who was praised, jumped for joy. In fact, he didn't think about it at all when he bought the vegetables, and he picked them based on his feeling. He didn't expect that he was quite talented.

"Sit down and drink some water, I'll go get ready, and I'll teach you how to wash vegetables later." Fang Xu poured him a cup of tea and said, "When many novices first start, they don't know how to wash Chinese cabbage first." Peel off the vegetable leaves and wash."

Fang Xu's house is clean and tidy. There are many photos in the double-layer glass cabinet next to the TV. From the clean photo frames and glass, it can be seen that the owner loves them very much, and basically wipes and takes care of them every day.

The cabinet on the upper floor is a photo of a girl, from a small group pointing at a kite in the sky, to when she first entered elementary school wearing a school uniform and carrying a new schoolbag and walking on the school road, the latest one is a slim girl standing on a brilliant stage The speech is probably a photo of an event in the university.

The photo in the cabinet on the second floor is a woman, from when she was young, she looked back and smiled with her skirt flying, to the latest one with her eyebrows gently bowing her head and arranging the bouquet.

The cabinets on the two floors are filled with nearly twenty photos, each of which is the tenderness of home, Qi Tong asked, "Uncle Fang, are these your wife and daughter?"

"That's right." Fang Xu was wrapped in a layer of gentleness when he said this, "My daughter has gone to college, and my wife is alone in my hometown. When my daughter graduates from college and works, I should go back to my hometown to accompany her. Wife."

"That's great." Qi Tong smiled, walked to the dining table and brought a few bags of vegetables to the kitchen, "What am I going to do now?"

"Wait a minute." Fang Xu turned on his toes and walked into the bedroom. Qi Tong didn't know what he was going to do, so he could only wait outside in a daze.A few minutes later, a man wearing a rain poncho and a motorcycle helmet came out of the bedroom, and his hands were covered with disposable rubber gloves, which were so airtight that even a piece of skin could not be seen.

Qi Tong: "..."

"Come on, let's go into the kitchen." Fang Xu's voice came from under the helmet.

"Uncle Fang, what's the matter... It looks like I'm going to blow up a building." Qi Tong looked at his simple physical protection, and suddenly felt that his fragile heart had been hit.

Fang Xu: "Have you washed the vegetables? Cooked the rice? Cut the meat? Heat the oil? Cook it?"

Qi Tong was taken aback, and honestly handed in the answer sheet to the question: "No, no, no, no, no."

After he finished speaking, Fang Xu tightened his poncho again, and pointed at the kitchen faucet with his gloved finger, "Come on, the first step is to wash the vegetables."

With Qi Tong not around, He Zhen didn't have much fun eating dinner, and couldn't eat after picking two bites with chopsticks.When Qi Tong went out in the afternoon, it was Baimang who sent him a message. After returning from the underworld, he quietly asked Baimang to help him watch Jiang Wenxin. Now that the season has changed, Baimang said that Jiang Wenxin's family still has no any action.He Zhen felt strange, so he secretly asked him to find the address of Jiang Wenxin's home, and was almost caught by Qi Tong who was about to go out.

After packing up the tableware, he carved a tumbler for a while. After taking a shower, the clock had passed 09:30 in the evening. It was already this point, and Qi Tong hadn't come back yet.He Zhen sent him a few messages, but there was still no reply after half an hour, and he couldn't get through the phone.I also remembered that this person said that he wanted to help Fang Xu, maybe he was in a hot pot restaurant.

There was a muffled thunder in the sky outside the window, and the sound rumbled, with the momentum of thousands of troops, as if it wanted to fill the whole city with the first rain in summer.Qi Tong didn't bring an umbrella when he went out, He Zhen didn't think much, grabbed the big long-handled umbrella in the entrance, locked the door hastily and rushed to the hot pot restaurant.

"Not bad!" Fang Xu took off his helmet, and stared dumbfounded at Qi Tong's skillful washing and chopping of vegetables, "Have you practiced it secretly?"

"No." Qi Tong also felt strange, all the movements seemed to be muscle memory accumulated over the years, and the moment his hand touched the vegetable leaf, he knew what to do next.

"Delicious!" After the dish came out of the pan, the aroma was enticing. Fang Xu took a chopstick and quickly put a piece of ribs into his mouth. Unexpectedly, the meat was not so salty and fragrant, "It's amazing!"

"Really?" Qi Tong also took a sip, and when his lips and teeth were fragrant, he couldn't help sighing in his heart: I'm really a ghost!

He took the mobile phone in the living room, and wanted to take a picture for his dad, feeling terrified in front of Pluto, but when he opened the lock screen, He Zhen's news and missed calls instantly filled the entire screen.

He was so absorbed in cooking just now that he didn't pay attention to the sound of the mobile phone. Seeing that the last missed call was half an hour ago, he quickly dialed it. The other party answered quickly, and Qi Tong vaguely heard the car horn coming from the opposite sound.

"Where are you?" He Zhen's voice sounded.

"I'm at Uncle Fang's house, I'm going back now." Qi Tong said, and asked again: "Are you outside?"

"Well, on the way to the hot pot restaurant, you borrowed an umbrella from Uncle Fang, it's going to rain outside."

"Okay, I just passed by the store, be careful on your way, see you later."

"The object urged you to go home?" Fang Xu smiled teasingly after he hung up the phone.

"Ah?" Qi Tong was taken aback by his question. He had been married for a few months and lived a comfortable life, but now suddenly asked by an outsider, he didn't know how to define the relationship between himself and He Zhen.

Fang Xu waved his hand, "Okay, go back quickly, don't make people wait."

Qi Tong changed his shoes and went out as if he had just woken up from a dream. Only when he went downstairs did he realize that he forgot to borrow an umbrella.The air was very dull, as if a rainstorm was brewing, he couldn't help speeding up his pace, praying that it wouldn't rain before returning to the hotpot restaurant.

But as Tang Cheng said, sometimes his mouth seemed to have been opened. Just when he was about a hundred meters away from the store door, without warning, a few pea-sized raindrops fell on his face. The top of the hair and the tip of the nose, in an instant, the torrential rain fell.

A hot pot restaurant not far away was lit with two red lanterns, which looked hazy in the rain. Someone stepped out of the light and walked towards him with an umbrella open.

In an instant, something flashed through his mind, as if at a time he had long forgotten, there was also a person holding an umbrella and holding his hand in the heavy rain.
