Food Bureau

"How is it? Going for a walk outside, do you have a deep sense of danger in the world? Is it safe here?" I cut the beef and carrot sausage into cubes, and the aroma came out, "Xiao Wan," I said earnestly , sent the plate with sausages forward, "Eat well, don't run around."

"Ow#%*$...@&~"

"Reciprocity! How many times have I told him not to call him Xiaowan!" There was a stern and stern reprimand in the video.

"Hey, my wife!" I put the plate on the ground respectfully, "Here is a bowl! You are so stupid, you can't compete with her name!"

Here is a four-month-old pomsky, which is a mixed-race baby of pomeranian (Pomeranian) and husky (husky). There is no way, Shang Wan likes pomsky, and I like husky. The two raised a pomsky.

Look at the way I speak in both Chinese and English, that's right, I'm already studying in the United States, the Rice of my dreams.

"Why did you lose weight with a bowl?" Shang Wan asked.

"It must be because I miss Mama. You have been away for two weeks. Both adults and children have lost weight. Will you look at me again?"

"Did you eat less?"

"I don't have the heart to eat or drink. I haven't fired at home for two days."

"I said a bowl, did your appetite decrease?"

I took a look and devoured a bowl, er... I haven't thought about how to answer, the plate of meat sausage has disappeared like a cloud of wind, and my little pink tongue began to lick the plate, "It's... not bad, Wife, can you discuss it and give me a little bit of your love...?"

On the screen, she finally smiled warmly, and I wiped off my sweat, God!Do you want to become fierce when you become a numb woman? ?

"The plane is about to land, see you later." She said.

"One..." Before I could finish, she gave a "boo" across the screen and pinched it off.

This is where I am at home now, the bottom of the food chain.

Today is a big day.

Not to mention the New Year's Eve, Ayou has stood out in the singer audition this year and was selected to perform overseas. He has come to Houston for the past two days, and the performance is tonight.

No, even Shang Wan, who has been very busy recently, came from New York on the plane this afternoon, and wanted to go to the scene with us to cheer for Ah You.

Also cheering for her is Xiao Ziyan, although he is still a friend so far, but I know something big will happen tonight~

The doorbell rang, and a bowl of "嗤嗤" came yelling and rushed over. I hurried to open the door. My father Lai Congshan came back from the Chinese supermarket with big bags and small bags.

I hurried to pick it up, "Oh, if you don't believe me when I tell you, just buy fresh fish and meat, like these," I tore open the dry goods in the bag, "You can buy these from online supermarkets."

"Your dad and I are professional cooks. How can there be a chef who buys ingredients from the Internet? You have to pick them yourself."

Lai Congshan was released with a commutation of sentence a year ago. Matteo Lombardi met him and admired his culinary skills and ideas. Regardless of the past, he hired him as the chef and managed another Chinese restaurant he opened.What is even more gratifying is that Lai Congshan not only became the chef, but also invested in joining the restaurant, and named the restaurant "Ru Liu".

This is also a win-win situation for Lombardi. On the one hand, it can relieve his cash flow pressure. On the other hand, the brand "Ruliu" has not been sold for a lot of money in recent years. Now he puts this sign Bringing it over ensures that the restaurant has a good start. No, the past year has been profitable again. Until the recent Chinese New Year, my father decided that family reunion is the most important thing, so he left the kitchen to apprentices and came to the United States to reunite with us. up.

My mother and Uncle Li are also visiting the United States these two days, and they plan to come to me for a New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve.

And my father-in-law, the second son of the Shang family, will also arrive in Houston in two days and promised to join us for a lively New Year's Eve dinner.

"Look at how many people are coming, and I'm not very familiar with the ingredients here in the United States, so don't practice hard," my father said while pouring flower crabs into the pool, "Look, little Is it this kind of crab that Wan likes?"

Yes, we dare to practice for him tonight.

Speaking of the Shang family and Shang Gu, earth-shaking changes have also taken place in the past year.

A year ago, our disaster on the Feihong Bridge shocked Shanggu’s shareholder meeting and board of directors. Shanggu’s stock price plummeted, Shang Qinzhi took the blame and resigned, and there was no leader for a while.

Shang Wan flew to Hong Kong and invited her uncle, Shang Ru's adoptive father, to take over Shang Gu's giant ship again.Uncle was very talented back then, and he also had outstanding leadership skills. It seemed strange to outsiders that he suddenly left Shanggu to set up his own business in Hong Kong. Now the only way to convince everyone is to invite him back.

Pei Sihan didn't have the face to stay any longer, and also offered to resign. After that, he disappeared for half a year. It is said that he stole half of his life and traveled all over the world. The company has signed a non-compete agreement and cannot work for a competitor company within two years.Later, it was heard that he married a rich woman, but it was just a rumor, and no one was interested in verifying it.

As for Shang Wan, according to the confidentiality agreement she signed, she offered to leave Shangu after the accident, but both her uncle and the board members expressed their hope that she would stay. After thinking for a long time and considering my situation, she temporarily decided to open her own restaurant in New York. The design company maintains business relations with Shanggu in the form of cooperation, and does not rule out the possibility of being acquired by Shanggu in the future, and the talents of her team, Jing Yi, old J, Phil, etc., are willing to come out to do things for her, and Shang Wan will also They did it.

I also help her company with chores in my spare time, free of charge, and I cry if I talk too much.

And that pair of fateful mandarin ducks, Monk Burning Bing, is like... Sigh.

Zhuo Bing was naturally "detained" back to Italy, and she could never come to China again, and she didn't need to come again. Shang Ru followed her to Europe, and she didn't want to go back to Shang's house.

After all, many things have happened in the nine years, and they also need time to understand and adapt to each other, and start again.

As for Zhuo Bing, I still have an opinion, not for anything else, but because she has bullied my wife for so many years!Seeing that I often talk about "being a good person", I told Shang Wan that Zhuo Bing will reform herself and be a new person in the future, and whether we welcome her in the future depends on the degree of her transformation.

Even though she said so, I also know that her monk Ruru is really a pair of poor people. Life is not short or long, and there is only one time. They were wasted so cruelly for ten years, which is really embarrassing .

This is the end of this year's account. I changed my clothes and went to the airport to pick up Shang Wan.

Come to a bowl and insist on sticking to me, I didn't bring him, there are old people and young people, what a rare world for two people.

The concert starts at 07:30 and ends at [-]:[-]. Lao Lai and Xiao Lai (have a bowl) cook at home, and I take Shang Wan to the outdoor studio to have a reconciliation with Xiao Ziyan.

Nineteen degrees in Houston tonight, humid and warm.Not long after I arrived at the arrival hall, I saw Shang Wan wearing sunglasses, carrying the suitcase with her bare hands, stepping on high heels and walking out briskly, who dared to go straight from the company to the airport without even having time to change her shoes... Wait!Why is there another person beside me!I took a closer look and saw that Jing Yi was here too!

"You, you, you! Why are you here too!" I beat my chest and stamped my feet, and then turned to Shang Wan, "Where is the agreed world for two?!"

She grinned calmly.

The tenderness when they first fell in love was an illusion, Mr. Shang is Mr. Shang.

"Where's the son?" she asked.

"……Cook at home!"

"What?" Jing Yi continued, "I thought Uncle Lai was the cook?"

"My lord is talking, what's the point of the little girl's film?" I took Shang Wan's box, "I said, quickly find a girlfriend, and don't keep being a light bulb for us."

"Oh, how dare you? You kidnapped my boss back then, and kept it from me for such a long time. Now that I think about it, I feel like an idiot at that time!" The more hesitant.

"All right, all right," Shang Wan stopped, turned her heels beautifully, took off her sunglasses, and smiled coquettishly at me, "Would you like to hug me?"

Not only to hug, but also to kiss and hold high!

"Blind." Jing Yi took the bag to block it in front of her eyes.

When we arrived at the scene, Xiao Ziyan was already waiting for us at the entrance. She has recovered well this year, and she is still as bright and charming as before.

We are a VIP group of relatives and friends, everything has been arranged very well, and the flowers for Ah You have already been prepared on the way.

The venue was well-arranged. This time, apart from a few selected rookies, there will also be a few powerful singers in today's discourse music scene. It is very worth looking forward to.

Shang Wan and Jing Yi scrambled to buy some drinks and supplies for fans, Xiao Ziyan and I went backstage to see Ah You.

This guy, who has been going smoothly for a year, finally let her sing well.I looked at her exaggerated makeup and laughed happily, Xiao Ziyan also laughed with me.

"Oh hello! Well done, Zi once said that a smile is the best gift." Ayou opened his mouth, but he still had that virtue.

"Eh? That's right, I've already thought up a gift for you in return, how about getting me an autographed photo of Liu Ruying tonight?" I asked with a shy face.

Ayou shook his head and sighed, "Oh, it's a bit embarrassing, but I'll do what I can."

"Thank you, my lord! My lord has won tonight!"

There is no winner or loser in tonight's show, I mean something else.

We quarreled in the background for a while, and it was about to start. Xiao Ziyan and I returned to the seating area, and Shang Wan and Jing Yi were already waiting.

We were allotted light sticks and stuff like that, and it was a real thing, like a celebrity.

At six o'clock, the show started on time, and the lights suddenly dimmed.

There is no light, no accompaniment, for some reason, this second of silence makes me want to cry.

"This song "To the Years" was written by me a year ago, dedicated to a very, very important person in my life, and she is here today."

Ah You's voice sounded slowly, it turned out that she was opening tonight.Xiao Ziyan's face appeared on the big screen, and some viewers gradually understood what was going on, and they boiled up. My monk Wan was so excited that I was about to cry, with tears in my eyes.

Looking at Xiao Ziyan again, after a moment of surprise, he smiled slightly.

The hustle and bustle of the scene is like dust after a spring rain, slowly settling and dissipating... Every molecule of the air in the silence is feeling and talking.

I couldn't help covering my mouth and nose with my hands, afraid that I would choke and make a sound.

I thought of the summer a year and a half ago, it seemed a long, long time ago, but now I was brought back to my eyes by the three words "to the years".On that night that year, Ayou, Xiao Ziyan and I were lying on the concrete wall by the river drinking beer bought in a small shop. Wine, Ayou asked what our greatest wish was.

She said that she most wanted to participate in the national singer audition and become a real singer.

I said that I most wanted to go back to the United States and finish reading the book.

Xiao Ziyan said that she most wanted to figure out which direction she should go.

"Did you say the years are long?

Can't last longer than wish

short?

Shorter than sunset"

I hugged Xiao Ziyan and Shang Wan, I even forgot to use the fluorescent stick.

Until the concert ended, we drove home and helped Lai Congshan set the dinner plate, we were still singing loudly: Do you say that the years are long?

Hunger, excitement, happiness, all emotions mixed together, until Lai Congshan brought out a white jade-colored dish wrapped in tofu skin.

"Isn't it, Dad? You don't want to do 'Luoyipoyu' again? Eh? I said, could it be that Lao Niu sent you tofu from China?"

"I don't understand. This is an upgraded version of 'Luoyipoyu', which I have devoted myself to researching these days." Lai Congshan pretended.

"What? How about an upgrade method?" The four of us, one dog, all looked up at him.

"It's not tofu, it's crab meat, our Xiao Wan's favorite flower crab meat."

When Shang Wan heard it, she smiled softly and said thank you repeatedly. The three of us were left staring at Lai Congshan dissatisfiedly: "Partial!"

Naturally, Lai Congshan would not miss it. He said he was practicing with us, but we ate up every dish.

After we sent everyone to the hotel and climbed onto the bed with our satisfied stomachs on our way back, Shang Wan asked me, "So did Xiao Ziyan agree?"

"Of course I agreed, are you stupid?"

She snorted softly, and in the dark, I knew she pouted without looking, so I raised my head to tease her: "Eh? Tell me, what are Xiao Ziyan and Ayou doing now?"

She laughed, "What else can I do? Has Ah You been a vegetarian for more than a year?"

"Tsk... Then tell me, haven't we been vegetarian for two weeks?" As he spoke, he turned over... "Eh? Eh? What are you doing?"

"Let you perform a 'Luoyi' too..." She said, pressing towards me unceremoniously...

Alas, Mr. Shang, it's really terrible now.

The author has something to say: This book was written during the half year when the epidemic was rising and falling around the world. During this half year, we have an unprecedented dimension of thinking about big and small propositions.

Thank you for your company.Writing this concluding chapter two days before the Lunar New Year is very appropriate, and it feels like a prime-time New Year’s film. I wish everyone in front of the screen health and safety!

You can follow my author column and pay attention to the next work.
