Although Meng Zhiyuan left, Su Mingyu's heart was not at peace. This was the first time in her short life that she had been exposed to such remarks, which had a severe impact on her long-term outlook on life and values.
Her heart was restless and her mood was hard to calm down. Meng Zhiyuan's words kept lingering in her ears. Su Mingyu was in a state of confusion all afternoon, so much so that she couldn't make a single deal today.
When it was time to get off work, Wu Ze came over to ask if Su Mingyu had encountered any problems. The relationship between the two was just an ordinary colleague relationship. Of course, Su Mingyu would not talk to Wu Ze about this kind of thing, so she reluctantly smiled and said it.
The sentence is nothing.
Seeing that Su Mingyu didn't want to say more, Wu Ze didn't ask any more questions. He believed that with Su Mingyu's self-regulation ability, he would figure it out soon. Just like the last time Su Mingyu asked for leave for the first time, he originally thought that Su Mingyu would never come again.
Well, because part-time workers like Su Mingyu move around very frequently.
As a result, Su Mingyu continued to come to work the next day as if nothing was wrong. If Wu Ze hadn't clearly heard Su Mingyu's choking voice on the phone, he would have thought that nothing was wrong with Su Mingyu. Something that could make such a strong girl cry was certainly not the case.
It's a simple thing, but Su Mingyu can quickly adjust her emotions, which is commendable for a student.
Su Mingyu came to Li Jie's residence as usual after get off work. The habit of having dinner together every weekend was set after Su Mingyu broke up with her family. Su Mingyu wanted to save money to study abroad. Although her income from part-time jobs was okay, she was reluctant to spend it. I have always been frugal and frugal.
With her strong temper, this method of direct funding was absolutely unacceptable to her. Li Jie had no choice but to save the country by treating her to dinner every Saturday and Sunday night, paying 50/50 for the groceries. Anyway, the final accountant was Li Jie.
Jie, of course he has the final say on how much money is spent.
Boom! Boom!
As soon as there was a knock on the door, Li Jie knew that Su Mingyu was back. In fact, it was the easiest way to give Su Mingyu a spare key, but Li Jie did not do so. Firstly, the two had not officially established a relationship; secondly, this was
Su Mingyu can see Li Jie every time she comes in.
"Coming! Coming!"
Li Jie took the towel on the stove and wiped his hands, then walked to the door in a few steps.
Squeak!
As soon as the door opened, Li Jie frowned. There was something wrong with the look between Su Mingyu's eyebrows. Su Mingyu usually always had a smile on her face. Although she was smiling today, no matter how she looked at it, she was forced to smile. Su Mingyu
How could the 'disguise' be concealed from Li Jie, but Li Jie did not ask questions immediately, but planned to ask later during dinner.
The dishes on the table are all Su Mingyu’s favorites, braised pork ribs, steamed mandarin fish, roasted chicken with chestnuts, and a bowl of matsutake egg drop soup. The matsutake mushrooms are plump, tender, and have a strong aroma. They are rare on the table.
Cherish the food.
Yesterday, these matsutake mushrooms were thousands of miles away in Shangri-La, but today they have appeared on the dining table. The peak picking period for matsutake is only two months a year. The matsutake season in September has reached the end of the season. The number of matsutake mushrooms on the mountain is getting more and more...
However, the price has also risen, reaching as high as 500 yuan per catty in Li Jie's hands. The price is almost the same as in June.
In June, the output of matsutake is the least and the price is the highest. In July and August, the rain gradually increases, the output increases, and the price gradually decreases. In September and October, the price returns to a high level.
Nowadays, just one project of Happy Farm can bring millions of profits to Li Jie every month. Of course, eating some matsutake is affordable. Compared with the cost of practicing, this expense is simply insignificant.
What's more, Su Mingyu likes it. To be precise, who can not love this kind of "elf-like food".
Su Mingyu didn't know the true value of matsutake. Li Jie only described it as an ordinary mushroom, but bigger and more fragrant. China on the Tip of the Tongue hadn't been released in 2008, and many people didn't know much about matsutake.
, generally only real high-end restaurants will purchase such ingredients.
"Huh, uh, no matter how many times you drink it, it still tastes so delicious. Tiandong, did you really not put any condiments in it?"
Food can make people temporarily forget their worries. At this moment, Su Mingyu was enjoying the stimulation of her taste buds, her smiling eyes narrowed into a slit, like a crescent moon.
'The most sophisticated ingredients often require the simplest cooking methods.'
Of course Li Jie would not say this. If he said this, I am afraid Su Mingyu would not drink matsutake and egg drop soup again in the future.
"No, because I cast magic in it."
Su Mingyu tilted her head and glanced at Li Jie, her eyes full of suspicion. She clearly didn't believe what he said. Li Jie straightened up and pointed at the dishes on the table.
"Look, have you eaten these dishes outside?"
Su Mingyu blinked and nodded gently. Seeing this, Li Jie continued.
"With the same ingredients, why does my recipe taste better?"
Su Mingyu said tentatively: "Are you good at your craftsmanship?"
Li Jie nodded slightly, then changed the subject and said: "Of course, craftsmanship is one aspect, and the other aspect is that I know a special kind of 'magic'. As long as the ingredients are processed by my hands, even if they are extremely ordinary ingredients, I will
It also makes it extraordinary. This is the secret to my delicious cooking.”
'Magic' is naturally internal force. There is really no way to explain this kind of thing. It is better to use magic instead. As for whether others believe it or not, that is a matter of opinion. Obviously, Su Mingyu didn't believe it, but she just asked casually.
, Su Mingyu doesn’t mind even if there are condiments in it.
Eating with Li Jie every weekend is a rare leisure time in Su Mingyu's busy life. Every time she eats with Li Jie, no matter what worries she has, she will temporarily forget them. Just like she was a little upset before entering the door, but after entering the room
Afterwards, Su Mingyu magically calmed down after smelling the familiar smell.
'Food is indeed healing.'
Li Jie thought silently in his mind. When he saw that Su Mingyu was relaxed and no longer as depressed as before, he asked.
"Mingyu, did something happen to you this afternoon?"
Su Mingyu's expression tightened, but she didn't expect him to see it. Meng Zhiyuan's words shocked her greatly, because she really hadn't thought about what would happen after returning from studying abroad. At the same time, the picture he painted was probably true.
Have you worked hard for ten years just to be a poor student?
When Su Mingyu was hesitating, Li Jie said softly.
"If you don't mind telling me, one person is trying to calculate his shortcomings, and two people are trying to calculate their strengths. It's always a bad idea to keep it in your heart."
