Food Bureau

That day I made three "mini" steamed stuffed buns with dried plums, a size that could be eaten in one bite, and I steamed a tray of normal-sized ones for her to take with her when she left. The "mini" buns were just for her to try, and she was not satisfied , to relieve hunger, you can't just fill people up with buns as soon as they come, if you like, take away the big ones and eat them casually.

In addition, I also plan to cook a very common pickled pork with dried plums. I haven't thought about this dish before, and I dare not try to improve it easily, so I will cook the most classic one. I think, if Shang Wan's mother would wrap dried plums before she was alive Steamed stuffed buns will definitely use dried plums to make two classic side dishes.

Thinking of spending a night alone with her, I thought, I already had a date mood at that time, but I didn't know it yet.

I still bought a bunch of calla lilies and put them on the dining table. I think these flowers complement her.

In addition, I bought a pair of cloth slippers and put them on the small carpet at the entrance. The shoes are the size of Shang Wan. I remember that she changed into flat shoes after the last dinner. I also remember that when I met her at the elevator for the first time, Wearing flats too, I guess, having to wear high heels for so long at work should be a pain for her, here, if she wants, I want her to relax.

When Shang Wan came, she really brought a briefcase and a notebook, and it seemed that she really planned to continue working here after dinner.

I took her things, but it was really heavy, "Where did you park your car?" I asked her.

"I didn't drive, I came here."

"what?"

It takes 10 minutes to walk to Shanggu Building. Although it is not a long journey, she is Shang Wan. I feel that carrying such heavy office supplies and walking through the downtown area should not be done by a person of her status. TV Isn't the luxury car waiting for you when you get on and off the building?I almost took the sedan chair and carried it downstairs.

"Hey, the parking space here is too tight. There are also drivers, but it's too overbearing to ask people to wait at the company until seven o'clock just to take me to such a short distance. Walking around is like a stretch."

"Hey, you've thought about everything for others, and you've also thought about changing a pair of flat shoes for yourself." I shook my head and pointed to the cloth slippers on the ground, "here, new ones, I'll keep them for you if you wear them Get up, and I'll wear it for you."

She felt a little embarrassed, her face turned pink, "That's great, thank you." She whispered.

I turned around to put her office items. I couldn’t just stand there and stare at her changing shoes, “Well, can I put the things on this table for you first?” I walked under the bookshelf, next to the phonograph.

"Ok, alright, Thanks."

"Don't be so polite." I put away my things, then turned to look at her, she was wearing a decent dress, I really wanted to prepare another set of home clothes for her here.

While she was washing her hands, I poured out the soup first, covered it, and put it on the dining table.

"Are you hungry? What did you have for lunch?" I asked Shang Wan who came over.

She thought about it for a long time, and it seemed like she was recalling a long time ago, "Chicken and avocado sandwich."

I shook my head, "When I was abroad, I couldn't get away with these kinds of stuffing for lunch. It hurt me."

She smiled as she sat down, "I've been despised..." After speaking, she looked up at me with a smile, "What about you? You cook for others every day at meal times, are you hungry?"

I was taken aback by the question. It’s been a long time since I was asked this question. Even Xiao Ziyan, who is already friends with me, has never said such a complete sentence. She will ask me when she is having a good meal. Are you hungry, pull me to eat together, but Shang Wan’s question, how should I put it, doesn’t seem to have come up on the spur of the moment, it seems to have been pondered over.

"Hey, my biological clock might be a little bit different, I'll eat at home before coming here, and then I'll eat a little after I send the guests away in the evening, so it's okay."

"Well...Actually, if you don't offend your rules, we can eat together when I come."

Normally, I would politely decline without hesitation, thank you, but at that moment, my brain suddenly short-circuited, as if I had lost the ability to do business, and I really thought about it for a second.

"No offense, Miss Shang, please don't be so polite," I stopped what I was doing, "Um... are you not used to eating in front of one person? It's okay, just treat me like a cook and get used to it."

As soon as I said this, I almost bit off my tongue. When did people say they didn't think of me as a cook? ?Why give me a pole and I will climb up? ?

She still smiled warmly, and the expression on her face remained unchanged, "I know you well, but I'm not used to having you serve like this for a few hours."

I suddenly didn't know how to answer, and hurriedly lifted the soup cup in front of her, "Well, let me tell you about this soup, let's get into the role... This is fish maw and snail soup, and the ingredients include lean meat, It is made from flower gum, snail slices, Chinese wolfberry, yam and other medicinal materials, it is very suitable for girls, you can try it.”

"Okay." She took a spoonful into her mouth with a sense of ritual, and chewed carefully, "Well, I'm very satisfied."

I blushed, and she grinned.

"No such thing," I muttered, "You say you're not used to it, so let me ask you, I'm not used to charging you, what should I do?"

"Hmm..." She really thought about it.

"Don't think so much, drink the soup quickly, and I'll give you some dry food." I turned around and went to the steamer to get the buns.

Three small dishes were placed in front of her, and Shang Wan put his chin on the dining table to watch, "It's so cute, one bite at a time~"

"As for this one, I'll give you a taste first, but I think the buns still need to be heavy enough to bite into, so there's still a drawer of normal size ones, and I'll take them away for you tonight."

"Huh?" She probably didn't understand why I asked her to take the steamed buns away for a moment.

"Try it first and see if you like it."

She picked up one of the chopsticks and bit into half of it with her fine teeth red mouth, surprise finally overflowing from her eyes.

"Is that the smell?" I was afraid that she would not boast, so I handed over the stick.

"Hmm~" She sighed deeply, and her shoulders slipped down, "Thank you for remembering, what do you make and what does it look like? This is really the taste I want to eat, can you ask, what is the secret?"

I smiled "hehe", "I can't tell you that."

She almost pouted, "I insisted on telling me how to make Ningshen Tang last time."

I suddenly felt that she was cute like this, and wanted to tease her a little longer, "That's different, Tang who likes to learn, this bun has learned, what if you don't come?"

She raised her eyes to look at me, her eyes... quite angry.

Inflated, I really swelled.

Cough, take it!

"That's it, I made some lard to make stuffing, and then don't use the dried prunes on the market, go to the fellow's house to collect the kind..."

The anger faded away, showing a hint of cunning and profoundness, and finally showing a little worry, she frowned slightly, "Go to the fellow's house to collect it?" She thought about the meaning of these words again, "You went to collect it? "

"Uh... Hey, in this business, we always have to ask around. Where there are good ingredients, it's called information resource warfare in your workplace."

I don't know what career experience I was talking about with the president of a group business department. I probably wanted to change the subject and cover up my stupid behavior.

The president is so easy to be fooled, "Did you go by yourself? Will it be very hard?"

"Ah... the big head is covered by the third brother, so I only go out occasionally, so it's not hard work." I glanced at the bowls and plates in front of her, "Don't let it get cold, eat more, I'll make you another crab." , ginger onion, salted egg yolk, typhoon shelter, which flavor do you like?"

She thought for a while, "If it doesn't bother you, salted egg yolk."

“Baked crab with salted egg yolk, Deling~”

Shangwante can't eat it. After eating the crab, it means that he is full tonight.

I was thinking about the half-refrigerated ingredients and my undeveloped cooking skills. I was at a loss and tried carefully, "Is it...not to your liking?"

She was surprised, "How is it possible? I ate so much."

Do you have any misunderstanding about "eating more"?

I figured it out, "I found out that you can't eat more than three dishes. The last time I came here with Sister Ziyan, I finished three dishes. You left when I served the fourth course. This time, you said you were full after three more dishes." , "I looked at my watch again, it was only 10 minutes, "does it take a full hour to do a spa?"

She laughed, "How much can your guests eat? Come and eat ten dishes in two hours?"

I thought about it, "on average," scratching my head, "I didn't control it well this time, and the dishes were not refined enough, which made you feel full early, and I will pay attention next time."

She waved her hand, "Don't be so embarrassing, I think it's very good to eat," she stood up, "If you don't mind, I can use your dining table to read some materials."

"Oh, of course, I will clean it up for you."

"Thanks," she turned to pick up something from the bookshelf, "I was afraid you would be bored, so I brought some old-fashioned internal journals. If you need to pass the time, you can read them. They are also related to your major."

I am professional?In her eyes, my major is not a cook?Damn, what is the name of my three-semester architectural design course?She flattered me too much.

"I... don't know if I can understand..."

Shang Wan held her handbag, and the halo of the floor lamp beside the sofa hit her body, a circle of furry texture, light golden color, she turned to look at my small bookshelf, "how could it be? Compared with your books, I brought The periodicals that come here are like children's books, just to pass the time."

She came over, put away the office supplies one by one, and pushed a few magazines in front of me, "Although your major is architectural design, and we mainly focus on interior design, the design circle is more or less related. In the past ten years, I have also rubbed some architectural design edges, and everyone in the group knows that my idea is to develop this branch in the future.”

I took the magazines and scanned them one by one, thinking in my heart how to answer these words more appropriately.

She opened her laptop, and spread out a stack of drawings to compare with what was on the laptop. I guess there is still a lot of limitations in working here. If you are in the office, there are several screens propped up in front of you, so there is no need to print.

Just as he was lost in thought, a message came on his phone, it was Xiao Ziyan:

——Secretary, if you are free tonight, you can listen to my program.

--Um?OK.Is there anything special tonight?

——The guest tonight is Zhuo Bing.

The author has something to say: next Tuesday~
