Chapter 234 Whack-a-mole
When Xiao Tao and Zhang Fang were cooking, Chu Bai would often stay in the kitchen waiting for the meat to come out of the pot, and he would learn how to operate the rice cooker just by watching it.
Chu Bai picked up Chu Yu's trouser legs, climbed up to his shoulders, pointed at the refrigerator, and said with valor and arrogance like a soldier: "Let's go towards Rourou!"
"Chu Hanxing doesn't have any favorite food. The meat in the refrigerator is all Taoist food. You can make whatever you like. I want braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, and a bowl of steamed egg custard..."
Chu Bai Balabala talked a lot, and couldn't help but sip after naming the dishes.
Chu Yu looked out the window, then asked: "Did she tell you when she would come home?"
Chu Bai: "Chu Hanxing is in the laboratory. He usually goes home on time at 11 o'clock. The laboratory is very close to home, and he will be there in ten minutes."
"Eleven o'clock?"
Chu Bai thought for a while: "It's early in the morning."
"It's almost time, so I don't have enough time. Choose between braised pork and steamed pork ribs." Chu Yu opened the refrigerator. Things were neatly arranged, including fresh vegetables.
Chu Bai was very confused and hesitated, "Braised pork...pork ribs...wait, still...still...eat braised pork ribs, eh! I want to eat braised pork ribs!"
Chu Yu took out the ribs and washed them to remove the fishy smell. There were a lot of bottles and jars on the cooking table, all with simplified Chinese characters. Chu Yu made no mistake and poured the cooking wine into the ribs.
Chu Bai Balabala introduced natural gas and electricity, and then demonstrated it. A faint blue fire came out of the stove. Chu Yu felt the heat source, put the pot on, added water and pork ribs.
Chu Yu had stayed in the tomb for two thousand years and had never been exposed to kitchen things, but now he was no stranger to them at all.
Seeing Chu Yu's skillful movements, Chu Bai felt very relieved. Although the taste of the food was not that good, it was definitely not weird.
"However, I still don't understand why you are so good at cooking?" Chu Bai asked.
The ribs were about to be steamed. While waiting, Chu Yu put down the spatula, crossed his arms and leaned back, "When I was a child, someone was picky about food and couldn't eat a few bites of the food served by the palace servants. I knew that person's taste, so I asked my mother to teach him.
I cook."
"Is that so? I thought it was because I was marching and fighting, and I'm used to sleeping in the open air." Chu Bai said.
Chu Yu smiled: "It's bitter cold in the border area, and the food is not as refined as at home."
"That's true." Chu Bai became curious again, "By the way, you mean you learned to cook when you were a child? That's amazing, but who is that person you are talking about?"
Chu Yu's eyes remained still and he chuckled. Before he could answer, there was a clicking sound in the living room.
"Chu Hanxing, you're back!" Chu Bai shouted happily, and then rushed out of the kitchen.
The ribs were ready. Chu Yu put it on a plate and made the next dish.
Chu Bai raised his head and saw Chu Hanxing closing the door, changing his shoes and washing his hands, so he followed behind her, "Chu Hanxing, are Lu Li feeling better?"
"I'm in the hospital and I'll wake up tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
Chu Hanxing rinsed his hands with cold water and was slightly startled for a moment when he recognized the fragrance that he had smelled in the corridor and knew whose hand it came from.
Chu Hanxing wiped his hands, came to the kitchen, and stared at him.
Chu Yu stood with his hands behind his back, holding a spoon with one hand. His dark clothes and black hair were out of place here, but there was a sense of contradictory harmony.
When the food was ready, Chu Yu turned off the fire, turned around with a smile, and asked, "Xiaoyue'er, do you want some soup?"
"No need." Chu Hanxing twirled his fingers and turned around to put in the rice.
Chu Yu said hello, and the dishes were taken out of the pot and brought to the restaurant. Chu Bai followed behind with the bowl on his head. Chu Yu put the dishes, and then Chu Hanxing also put the bowls and chopsticks.
"It's time to eat!" Chu Bai cheered.
Chu Yu chuckled, picked up the ribs and put them in a bowl. Chu Hanxing raised his eyes, paused, and picked up the chopsticks.
Chu Yu ate like a normal person.
Chu Bai glanced at him with some doubts and thought to himself, Chu Yu doesn't need incense to eat. He remembers that Xiao Tao can't eat without incense.
Chu Bai was very curious, but with the delicious food in front of him, he immediately forgot about everything and gnawed on the ribs.
After Chu Bai finished eating the meat, he chewed the bones and swallowed them.
"It smells so good!" Chu Bai smacked his lips, the taste was unexpectedly delicious.
Chu Yu put down his chopsticks, propped up his chin and said with a smile, "Xiao Yue'er, how does it taste?"
"Not bad." Chu Hanxing's voice was as indifferent as ever.
Chu Yu smiled and said while picking up food for Chu Bai: "Xiao Yue'er, look, I live in your house and eat in your house, but do nothing. I'm really sorry.
I heard from Abai that you want to develop a new drug, why don't I go with you tomorrow, maybe I can help."
Chu Bai suddenly raised his head from the bowl. It had said something, but when Chu Yu said it, something felt wrong.
It seems like that... Selling teammates, right?
There was a dull intelligence in Chu Bai's eyes. Chu Hanxing did not answer his question, but said: "How did you die?"
It's rare that Chu Hanxing can't see through it.
"Ah..." Chu Yu stretched out and leaned back relaxedly on the chair, "It seems like I slept for too long and forgot about it."
Chu Bai swallowed his bones and complained: "Do you have such a bad memory? You even forgot how you died!"
Chu Yu smiled and said nothing. The only sounds in the restaurant were the faint sounds of dining.
At half past eleven, the food was all eaten. Chu Hanxing hurriedly carried Chu Bai by the back of his neck away from the table before he could lick the plate.
Chu Hanxing put the dishes and chopsticks into the dishwasher. When he came back, the dining table had been wiped clean by Chu Yu.
She was silent, raised her hand and pointed, and said quietly: "That room is still empty."
Just next door to the room where Chu Hanxing lived, Chu Yu raised his eyebrows: "Xiao Yue'er, don't you mind?"
"Or you can go back to the tomb."
Chu Hanxing turned around and went back to the room. Chu Bai pulled her slippers and followed her into the room.
Chu Yu was the only one left in the living room. Looking at the closed door, Chu Yu chuckled and seemed to be saying to himself: "That can't be done."
Chu Yu entered the guest room, lay down on the bed, put one hand behind his head, turned off the light, and stared at the ceiling in the dark night.
After sleeping for two thousand years, Chu Yu is not very interested in sleeping now. Listening to the occasional conversation outside, he wonders what he is thinking.
At around two o'clock in the middle of the night, a stone from nowhere hit the glass of the window. Chu Yu's ears twitched, he stood up, opened the window, and two heads popped up.
In the dark night, the leaves are full of light and shadow, and the sudden appearance of a black head can scare people half to death.
Chu Yu was happy. He took the A4 paper and rolled it into a tube. He raised his hand and gave it to one side. The two heads shrank down. After half a second, they popped up again tremblingly.
Vice General Chen felt aggrieved: "General, what are you going to do in the end?"
"Whacking a mole." Chu Yu withdrew his hand and seemed to have just seen their faces clearly, and said slowly, "Ah...it turns out to be Vice General Chen and Guard Zuo."
His smiling eyes were very bright at night. Vice General Chen roared in his heart, General, you think we are fools, can't you see that you did it on purpose?
The left guard pursed his lips and said, "General, the military advisor has anticipated that you are here and has sent us to pick you up. He has already found a place to stay and placed all the soldiers in place. Please don't worry, General.
The military advisor asked me to tell you that he has sent people to guard the tomb every day and made some adjustments to the mechanism so that no one will accidentally break in."
