Mid-Levels Farm

On the day Sheng Wuyu officially moved into Xuan Xiaodong's small farm, there had just been an autumn rain, and the weather was already slightly chilly, but the air was still crisp and clean, which belonged to autumn.

Xuan Xiaodong took the beautifully packaged box Sheng Wuyu handed over, a little surprised: "What is it?"

Sheng Wuyu smiled slightly: "Meeting ceremony, as a tenant, I'm going to disturb the landlord next, please take care of me - it's a return gift from the green olives last time, and the green olive pork lung soup tastes really good."

Xuan Xiaodong suddenly felt embarrassed for some reason, so he could only cover up his embarrassment by unwrapping the gift, but when the beautiful wrapping paper was opened to reveal a whole set of glass tableware, he was still surprised: "Is this tableware?"

Sheng Wuyu said with a smile, "That's right. I used to see nice things to buy abroad, but it's useless to keep them in my hands. On the contrary, Mingzhu voted secretly. I just moved here and wanted to give you a gift. This is very appropriate, especially for you. The craftsmanship is so good, it does not disgrace this set of tableware." He wore a black thin knit sweater today, making his skin white and transparent.His sleep disorder has become more and more serious these days, but no one knows except himself and the sleep monitoring equipment. His appearance still maintains his usual calm and elegant appearance.

Xuan Xiaodong took a glass bowl and stood up to appreciate the light carefully, his eyes sparkling.

On the wall of the crystal clear glass bowl, thin water plants are vividly depicted, and the strokes are so delicate and realistic that it seems that several clumps of real water plants have been sealed and watered in the glass, but the light blue dragonflies parked on the water plants show This is a very high level of hand-painting.

The light blue dragonfly wings are translucent, and the texture of the wings on them is clearly visible, harmoniously covering the entire round and crystal glass bowl with aquatic plants.

The four rice bowls are all aquatic plants and dragonflies, but they have different postures, fresh and beautiful. Other glass dishes and soup bowls are also different, some are flowers and bees, some are grape trellises, some are ears of wheat, and some are fir trees in the snow. Full of artistic sense.

There is an almost round glass vase, painted full of ripe berry plants and short grass, placed on the table as if to reproduce the small scene in the forest, even the dew on the grass leaves, the white on the surface of the ripe berries Frost is delicately expressed.

Ingenious work of art.

Xuan Xiaodong stared at the light for a long time before remembering to say thank you to Sheng Wuyu.

Sheng Wuyu nodded, and went back to his room to watch Shi Jiqing arrange his luggage.

Shi Jiqing just watched the movers properly place the expensive piano on the square carpet on the side of the house, and sent all the movers away.I personally counted Sheng Wuyu's clothes and luggage, and after a round of careful inspection, nothing was lost. Then I turned around and took Sheng Wuyu to demonstrate all the newly installed equipment one by one, and then said very worriedly: "Sheng Wuyu Dong, can you see if there is anything missing? Otherwise, I'd better let Xiao Gao come and live with you for a while, and let's talk about it after you get used to it."

Sheng Wuyu said: "No need." As long as there is an acquaintance around, he must have that perfect face... But at this moment, he only wants to be alone.

He said to Shi Jiqing: "You can go back now after the arrangement is made, otherwise it will be too late to go back to the city. Most of the company's affairs are left to the executive director to discuss and do. If there is anything that needs to be decided by me, you can contact me again." I."

Shi Jiqing was a little helpless, but he also knew Sheng Wuyu's persistence, so he looked inside and out again, and then came out to say goodbye to Xuan Xiaodong. Sheng Wuyu sent her out, and at a glance he saw that Xuan Xiaodong was still there. By the kitchen window, the glassware was repeatedly turned and played, and the eyes were as bright as a child who got a toy that he couldn't put it down.

Do you like it so much...

Sheng Wuyu smiled slightly.

That is to say, I saw it abroad and thought it looked good, so I bought a set and kept it. When I decided to come to live a few days ago, I thought I should give some gifts to the host. I searched in my collection and saw this set. Hand-painted glass bowl, inexplicably thought that the other party would like it, so I chose this set.

I really like it.

As a former diplomat and the noble son of a famous family, he has received and given many gifts, even sent state gifts to foreign envoys on behalf of the country, and received countless expensive gifts.

But for the first time, he felt the subtle satisfaction and joy that this kind of gift was cherished and loved by the other party.

In the evening, Sheng Wuyu was a little surprised when he saw the grand dishes on the table—there were only two people, and the dishes were quite large. Although the portions were not large, the most important thing was that every dish was carefully prepared. Very good looking.

In the exquisite dragonfly bowl, there is crystal clear white rice, the main course is neatly arranged translucent rouge crystal meat, shredded beef with emerald okra, fried green beans with scallion oil, and the soup is chrysanthemum fish in golden soup, served in a large glass bowl There is a fresh ice vegetable salad lying on the clear ice, the stems and leaves seem to be condensed with crystal frost, the dessert is milky white yam cake, topped with crystal honey osmanthus juice, and two glasses filled with crystal red and bright watermelon juice.

Xuan Xiaodong smiled a little embarrassedly: "Such a beautiful bowl must be decorated with beautiful dishes to match it."

Sheng Wuyu's smile slowly rose from the corner of his mouth: "It's okay, it's good that you are like this, it's better than I used to think it looks good and put it on the shelf for collection."

Xuan Xiaodong's ears were reddish, and he served him soup, but Sheng Wuyu asked curiously, "How...how did this meat become so translucent?"

Xuan Xiaodong said: "This is the meat that has been marinated in brown sugar and then used for steaming. If you control it well, the color will be very beautiful - there are some tricks... In fact, the key is the juice that is poured on it at the end. It is not necessary for ordinary home-cooked food. Do this process, but this glass bowl is worthy of such a beautiful rouge color."

"Many people use red amaranth, but the taste of red amaranth is actually stronger. I think it will steal the taste of the meat, so I use purple cabbage. Beautiful rouge color, and then add some agar and starch to make it thicker, and it becomes such a crystal clear juice... The taste is also very good, with the sourness of lemon and the sweetness of brown sugar pickling, it is It’s not too greasy, I think it’s more suitable than red amaranth, you can try it.”

"There is also a kind of carmine radish that can also make a good color, but I don't have it on hand, and the taste is not as good... That one is mainly used in kimchi."

He said a few words, feeling that he was a bit long-winded, but when he looked up, he saw Sheng Wuyu was listening intently, and his cold eyes were also focused on him, as if he really wanted to know how this crystal meat was so beautiful color.

He has a pair of long eyebrows, which almost fly into the temples, and his eyes are like cold stars, but when he stares at people, he is only flattered, as if he is being stared at by a supercilious god.

Xuan Xiaodong thought, it's no wonder that although he is usually cold, he can handle diplomatic situations with ease. Being stared at and paid attention to by such a noble person, he must feel that he is a very important person--the person in front of him is obviously, There is no need to cook by yourself.

However, Sheng Wuyu nodded with great interest: "It's very interesting." As if he really wanted to try it.

Xuan Xiaodong reached out and poured a bowl of soup for Sheng Wuyu. The chrysanthemum petals in the soup were golden, which set off the milky white fish soup so deliciously.

However, Sheng Wuyu stretched out his hand to pick up a piece of crystal rouge crystal meat, put it in his mouth and ate it, it melted in the mouth, it was really delicious - originally he didn't like to eat fatty pork, but after hearing the other party's hard work The adjusted color was just to match the gift he gave, and he cherished it, and he got a little satisfaction in his heart.

Because of this, his appetite seemed to improve, he picked up some of each dish, and savored it carefully.

Xuan Xiaodong also felt happy, so he continued to introduce the scallion green beans to him: "This is fried green beans with shallots fried in scallion oil, and the taste is also very good, but if it is broad beans, the taste will be even better. It is glutinous and powdery, but it is a pity that it is not the season of broad beans. Braised broad beans with scallions is the first dish I learned when I was a child. It has a greasy taste, and it is actually difficult to control the heat."

Sheng Wuyu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Scallion roasted broad beans? Okay, next time you cook it for me."

He said this plainly and politely, but Xuan Xiaodong felt a sense of joy and anticipation in his heart for some reason, and he was even thinking about how to choose the best and plump watercress for the broad beans and peel them.

After the meal, Sheng Wuyu drove his wheelchair to go back to his room, but Xuan Xiaodong poured out a bowl of fish soup: "I saw you brought a cat, do you want to feed it? I'll take it for you, there is no fish soup in the pot. Put salt."

Sheng Wuyu originally wanted to say that there was cat food, but seeing Xuan Xiaodong following him with fish soup, he thought for a while and didn't say anything, just let him follow.

His room has been completely remodeled. From the outside, it looks like an ordinary rural tile-roofed house, but inside, a row of three rooms is opened up as a bedroom. There is a grand piano.

When they walked in, the light gray floor was as smooth as a mirror, and a half-walled glass landscape window was built on the side of the mountain view. Now it is showing the golden sunset and the winding silhouette of the mountains.

A silver-gray puppet cat hid on a high cat climbing frame and watched them vigilantly. After observing for a while, it gently jumped into Sheng Wuyu's arms.

Sheng Wuyu patted its head lightly and said, "Her name is Xiaobu."

Xuan Xiaodong put the fish soup near the cat's nest, and Xiao Bu observed it for a while, then jumped down lightly, sniffed it, and licked it with the tip of his pink tongue. It seemed to taste good, so he licked it again, purring The sound is quite satisfying.

Xuan Xiaodong looked up and saw that Sheng Wuyu drove the wheelchair to the side of the cabinet, took a few medicine bottles inside and poured the medicine out to eat, then went to the side to pour water for him, then handed him the water glass, watching him drink a lot of medicine. Swallowed the medicine one by one, and asked him softly, "Want to go out for a walk?"

After taking the medicine, Sheng Wuyu felt depressed for a while, and shook his head: "No... I'll read a book for a while and then take a shower by myself. You go about your business. If I need help, I will tell you, thank you."

Xuan Xiaodong saw that Sheng Wuyu obviously wanted to be alone, so he nodded and retreated. Sheng Wuyu picked up a book from the shelf and flipped through it. After reading a chapter, he went into the bathroom A person took a shower and changed his clothes, put all the changed clothes in the washing machine to wash, and then came out and took a hair dryer to dry his hair.

However, he suddenly smelled a fragrance at the tip of his nose. He looked up and saw that round hand-painted glass vase had been placed in his room at some point on the low cabinet by the door. It was filled with snow-white wild ginger flowers, with slender stems and Finely chopped ginger blossoms complement this vase.

The fragrance filled the room with the evening wind.
