Chapter 137 Rice Cake Soup
The house Chen Huihong rented to Qu Jing was located in Building 1101 E. It was a small, finely decorated one-bedroom apartment.
When Qin Huai met Chen Huihong in the elevator carrying the moving gift he had just bought at a nearby mall this morning, the two looked at each other holding the box in their hands and looked at each other.
How should I put it, there is quite a tacit understanding.
They are all air purifiers, and they are of the same brand.
"Sister Hong." Qin Huai took the lead to break the embarrassment, "Why did you think of buying so many houses in the community in the first place?"
Qin Huai knew that Chen Huihong had many suites in Yunzhong Community, but he did not expect that the apartment types were so complete.
Chen Huihong herself lived in the same type of house as Luo Jun, and rented to Qin Congwen free of charge a two-bedroom apartment of the same type in Qinhuai.
The one currently rented to Qu Jing is another one-bedroom apartment.
Qin Huai didn't even know that there was a one-bedroom house in the community. He thought his house was the smallest in the community.
How did Luo Jun, a developer, design it in the first place? Is the concept of designing residential housing types so that everyone can buy a suitable housing type? Can the housing prices be lowered a little?
"At that time, I happened to have some spare money on hand, and I thought I could buy a few more apartments and rent them out for financial management later on," Chen Huihong said. "Later on, I encountered a few troublesome tenants and unscrupulous agents, so I just let it go."
"How much did you pay for this air purifier?" Chen Huihong asked.
"599."
"It's expensive. When I first bought it, it only cost more than 300."
"store?"
"Next time someone moves and brings gifts, you can take them directly from my house. I still have seven or eight in the utility room."
"next time?"
Chen Huihong nodded calmly: "Don't I still have several houses on hand? If the next one you unlock is not a resident of our community, just use the old method to let them move in!"
"I think they are definitely not residents of the community. If there were other spirits in our community, Luo Jun would have noticed it already."
With that said, Chen Huihong walked out of the elevator holding the air purifier, and Qin Huai followed.
Ring the doorbell.
Qu Jing opened the door, probably because she was at home and only her own people came. It was rare for Qu Jing not to wear a mask or gloves.
She wore a very homely and baggy light-colored long-sleeved trousers suit. Her lips looked slightly bloody, which was much better than that day in the hospital. The skin on the back of her hands was completely exposed, and the scars were exposed to the air.
The decoration inside the house is very Instagram-style, with fabric sofas, light-colored curtains, white dining tables and chairs, and a vase without flowers that serves an unknown purpose on the sideboard.
Luo Jun has already arrived and is sitting on the fabric sofa watching TV. There is an unpacked air purifier on the cabinet in the living room.
Luo Jun glanced at the air purifiers in Qin Huai and Chen Huihong's hands, turned his head in victory and continued watching TV.
It seems that his air purifier is more expensive.
Qu Jing got slippers for the two of them and said, "The food will be ready soon. I would like to trouble you to sit in the living room for a while."
Watch some TV."
After saying that, Qu Jing trotted into the kitchen. It could be seen that the struggle with the kitchen had entered a fierce stage. Qin Huai took a deep breath and did not smell any obvious burnt smell.
It seems that Qu Jing's cooking skills are pretty good, at least better than Chen Huihong's.
Qin Huai sat on the sofa and took a look at the TV. Well, it was Luo Jun's favorite fairy tale drama.
"The fruit this afternoon is much better than yesterday." Luo Jun spoke as soon as Qin Huai sat down.
"Thank you for the compliment." Qin Huai smiled. The fruit he asked Zhang Shumei to pick up this afternoon was made with the fillings that Zheng Siyuan had not overturned. It was naturally better than yesterday.
"But it's still far behind what Xiao Jiang did." Luo Jun continued, giving Qin Huai a slightly disgusted look, "You can't complete the side tasks if you don't know the specific things, and you can't complete the side tasks of knowing the specific things.
ah."
Qin Huai:—
Did Bi Fang take gunpowder today? Why did he open fire on himself as soon as he came up?
Chen Huihong smoothed things over with a smile: "I think Xiao Qu is in very good condition now and can live at least 8 more years!
Qin Huai: ".——-Is there a possibility that we are not at Luo Jun's house now, and Qu Jing is still in the kitchen."
"The soundproofing of the kitchen in this house is very good. When the door is closed and people are cooking inside, you can't hear anything outside." Chen Huihong said, "I think Luo Jun just doesn't want Xiao Qin to see his last memory. After all, according to the normal plot
Development, the last memory should be the reason why he became what he is today."
"That's why he deliberately mocked you and asked you to stop practicing Guoer and make more rice cakes that Xiao Qu likes to eat."
Luo Jun didn't say anything. It seemed that Chen Huihong was right.
There will be a time when the vegetation and monsters will expose Bi Fang's little thoughts.
Qin Huai knew that he should say a few words to express his attitude: "Mr. Luo, don't worry, I am a person who follows rules and regulations in doing things. There is no problem in doing it step by step and at the same time."
"I know how to make rice cakes, but I also need to practice making fruit."
Luo Jun: "..----Just practice. I'll see when you can master Xiao Jiang's skills."
When Luo Jun said this, Qin Huai became a little curious. Qin Huai tilted his head slightly and looked at Luo Jun with a half-smiling expression.
"I remember when I first read out the details of the mission, I asked you what it was. You said you couldn't remember clearly. It was a noodle fruit but not a normal noodle fruit. I thought you really didn't remember it at the time.
, but now I think you remember it clearly."
Chen Huihong also looked at Luo Jun.
Luo Jun replied without changing his expression: "I really don't remember that time."
"Have you looked through the photo album?"
This question was raised so suddenly that both Chen Huihong and Qin Huai paused and shook their heads.
"When I was young, my family was poor and we had no money to take pictures." Chen Huihong said truthfully.
"When I was young, the orphanage was poor and I didn't have money to take pictures." Qin Huai was even more honest.
Luo Jun choked at the answers of the two people and said speechlessly: "If you look through the photo album, you will know that there are many things that may be in your memory, but you can't remember them at all before you open the photo album.
In your mind, there are only vague impressions and vague shadows. Only when you see the photo can you recall the clear picture."
"I don't even have a photo album now. The photo album is with Qin Huai. How can I know what it is if he doesn't look through it?"
"What photo album?" The kitchen door was pushed open by Qu Jing, and she saw Qu Jing coming out with two plates of dishes and putting them on the table, "It's time to eat."
Three people were seated.
The dishes are very simple, including a plate of stir-fried cabbage, a plate of minced tofu, a plate of eggplant and roasted beans, a plate of freshly steamed braised pork leg and a plate of duck in sauce.
You can tell at a glance that the money legs and sauce duck were bought at a braised vegetable shop.
The last thing served was a bowl of red bean and rice cake soup.
"It's a bit crude. I don't know how to cook meat dishes, so I can only stir-fry two simple vegetarian dishes. I also went to a stew shop to buy some. This soup is red bean and rice cake soup. When I moved last time, I cooked this at home.
We eat together with the dean. The rice cakes are not as good as those made by Qin Huai every day. I went to the supermarket to buy them at noon today." Qu Jing sheepishly introduced the dishes.
"Mr. Luo, just drink some of the red bean and rice cake soup to taste it. Elderly people are prone to indigestion and stomachache if they eat glutinous rice at night."
Luo Jun looked at the red bean and rice cake soup: "I don't like boiled rice cakes."
Chen Huihong smiled and cheered: "This skill can't be called good? It's much better than me! Xiao Qu, you have been busy studying and working these years, but you didn't expect to secretly hide your good cooking skills. This cabbage stir-fry is better than mine."
Much stronger!"
Qu Jing served herself a bowl of red bean and rice cake soup: "I don't usually cook much. I always eat snacks from the hospital canteen and Qin Huai."
"It will be more convenient to move here now and eat directly in Xiao Qin's canteen." Chen Huihong is worthy of being the publicity ambassador of Yunzhong Canteen.
Qin Huai also silently served himself a bowl of red bean and rice cake soup.
To be honest, Qin Huai has never had rice cake soup before.
The Qin family does not use rice cakes to cook soup. They always sprinkle sugar on them and eat them, or bake them into crispy rice cakes and brush them with sauce. A slightly more complicated way is to slice rice cakes with scrambled eggs, which is salty.
Rice cake soup—··
Maybe this dish doesn't even exist in Zhao Rong's recipes.
Qin Huai took a sip of soup first.
The red bean and rice cake soup made by Qu Jing is not made from soaked red beans, but from red bean paste bought in the supermarket.
The soup is very sweet. Stir it well and the red bean paste that sinks to the bottom will still have a rustic texture in the morning. Cut the rice cake into small pieces.
It may be that the rice cake in the soup has almost melted due to the long cooking time, and the soup also has a sticky feeling when drinking it.
It's warm and perfect for drinking in winter.
It's very homely and inexplicably suitable for this occasion.
"This soup is pretty good." Qin Huai said, "It's cooked with red bean paste. If it's winter morning, you can eat it for breakfast.
It should be very popular."
"It's going to get cold soon. I'll have to try it in a couple of days."
Qu Jing held the bowl, looked at the home-cooked food on the table, and then glanced at the exposed scars on the back of her hands.
Look at other normal people.
Seeing that everyone was drinking red bean and rice cake soup first, Luo Jun wanted to fill up a small bowl of soup himself.
Chen Huihong discovered that Luo Jun secretly served two pieces of rice cake while serving soup, and exposed it on the spot.
Qin Huai, who was smiling on the side to smooth things over, said that it would be okay to eat two pieces. Luo Jun had also eaten rice cakes before.
No one cared about her weirdness, and no one commented on her cooking skills. Everyone just sat together and had a meal happily.
For Qu Jing, this scene of sitting and eating happily with no need to hide it, seemed so far away that it happened in a previous life.
There is no need to turn on the air conditioner in this weather, but it is actually quite hot if you wear long sleeves indoors.
