008 Mutual support
Lin Xiuwan obviously had a lot of words to ask, and as soon as she opened her mouth, there were three questions, "Where were you at that time? When was you? What were you doing?"
Although she asked in a daze, Chen Fan knew that she was asking about what happened before the time travel.
He replied patiently, "I'm at home, well, it's Guanghai City. In the evening, I just got home from get off work and was a little tired, so I lay down. When I opened my eyes again, I'll be here. Where are you?"
After hearing Chen Fan's answer, she frowned tightly and said, "I'm in the Magic City, the time is about the same. I felt a little uncomfortable at that time and was resting. When I woke up, I was in the Marquis' Mansion."
The two are more than a thousand kilometers apart, and they don’t know each other and have no connection at all.
She didn't give up and asked again, "Did something special happen at that time?"
"No."
Chen Fan naturally would not tell her about the system. However, he felt a little uneasy.
Couldn’t her time travel be caused by the system?
This thought just flashed by and was suppressed by him.
He asked, "Which one, what year did you come from?"
“20 years, November 16th.”
Chen Fan didn't expect that she remembered so clearly. It had been half a year, and he forgot exactly what date it was, but it was indeed November 2020.
In other words, she and she traveled through time at the same time.
This fact made his anxiety continue to expand.
"Why are we?"
Lin Xiuwan murmured, "Why did we encounter such a thing?"
Chen Fan looked at the confusion and pain in her eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable, and comforted her, "Don't think too much, since you are here, just live a good life. People always have to look forward. We are lucky, and we have not traveled to poor families and were hungry and cold. From this point of view, God is not too bad for us."
Lin Xiuwan sighed, "That's right."
The ancient class was very strict. In the past six months, she has been standing at the top of the class and has a deep understanding of this.
Chen Fan took the opportunity to change the topic, "Are you Zhong Xixi?"
When he saw her for the first time yesterday, he felt that she was like a female star who had just debuted in reality, and a costume drama starring him was playing. He had seen it more than a dozen times in a short video.
This appearance, named Zhong Xixi, happens to be based on his aesthetics, so he still has an impression.
Lin Xiuwan in front of her looks like the girlish version of Zhong Xixi.
"No, my original name is Lin Xiuwan, and I am still in college." Lin Xiuwan shook her head and said, "There are indeed many people who say that I look like her. Are you her fan?"
Chen Fan said, "I'm older than the age of chasing stars. I'm just watching her TV series recently and I'm quite impressed. By the way, have you had breakfast?"
"have eaten."
"It doesn't matter if you have eaten it." Chen Fan shouted into the house, "Liu An, are you okay?"
Liu An's voice came from the inner room, "Young Master, you're ready."
"Take it out."
After a while, Liu An came out with a plate. There were long plates on it, two things were placed on it, and two bowls of porridge were placed next to it.
"Fried noodles?"
Lin Xiuwan was a little surprised and reached out to pick it up. It was indeed a fried dough stick. She said, "I have visited all over the capital and have never seen anyone sell this. Where did you get it?"
"Actually, some cities in the south have already appeared, but they have not yet been spread to the capital. Try it." Chen Fan said lightly, but in fact, it is a bit troublesome to make the recipe of this fried dough stick.
After all, it was because of inconvenience in this era, so it was hard to explain clearly by contacting it by letter. Thanks to the Chen family also having some business in the south. It took several months to get the recipe for this fried dough stick.
Lin Xiuwan tore off a piece, took a bite, and said, "It's this taste. I haven't eaten it for a long time. Thank you."
The eating habits of this era are very different from those of later generations. After all, it has been nearly a thousand years. The meat is mainly mutton, or fish.
Rich people do not eat pork, and eating beef is illegal.
The variety of vegetables is far less than that of later generations, and the same is true for fruits, as well as various spices, pepper, cinnamon, etc. Not only is it expensive, there are not so many types.
There is also a very different way of cooking.
When Chen Fan first came, what he was most unaccustomed to was his diet. Not to mention how unpalatable it was, he was just not used to it, so he spent so much time making the recipe for fried dough sticks.
Chen Fan said, "How much fate is it to meet in another world? Naturally, we should support each other."
A smile finally appeared on Lin Xiuwan's face. She asked, "That jade dew is just a flower dew. Did you make it?"
"Well, some people think the name Furu Shui is a bit tacky, so they change it to Yuqing Lu, which looks tall and elegant. I think it's almost the same."
"I heard that you also made soap. Are you studying science?"
"No, I studied business administration in college and wrote some novels part-time. I used to think about writing novels that traveled through time to ancient times, so I searched for information on this area. I didn't expect that one day it would come in handy."
"novel?"
"It's just an online novel. Do you usually read it?"
Lin Xiuwan shook her head.
When the two started chatting, they felt that there was endless topics to talk about.
They have been suppressing for too long, and they cannot say many words and memes. Even if they say them, others will not understand them. Over time, they will deepen their inner loneliness.
Now, someone who understands it finally appears, like a long drought and rain, and can't stop at all.
They kept talking from morning to noon.
During this period, Lin Xiuwan's maid Xiaoqing ran over several times, until noon, and finally couldn't help but remind, "Miss, it's time to go back."
The two had to stop talking. Although they were a little reluctant, they were not as good as the earth, so they always had to pay attention to the influence.
After making an appointment for the next meeting, Lin Xiuwan left.
…………
Lin Xiuwan's appearance made Chen Fan's life no longer as boring as before. The two would meet each other a day or two and talk about everything. The relationship was getting better and better.
He simply bought a yard behind the shop, hired a craftsman and carpenter, and renovated it as a place for the two to gather.
He also specially opened a restaurant and hired a chef. He personally guided him to make some modern dishes. He sent them to her every now and then, such as fried chicken wings, fried rice noodles, pork belly, etc.
Lin Xiuwan also became friends in the boudoir with Chen Fan's younger sister Chen Zhilan. In this way, the two of them had some interactions, which was not so eye-catching.
Such days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
Autumn goes and winter comes, and it is already New Year.
This day is the Lantern Festival, and there is a lantern festival at night, making the whole capital particularly lively.
Chen Fan and his family had dinner and slipped out.
After traveling through time, the only thing he felt more satisfied was the atmosphere of the New Year. Whether it is the Chinese Valentine's Day, temple fair, Double Ninth Festival, New Year, or Lantern Festival, it is very lively.
