The gourmet boss who was delayed by the end of the world

K's eyes followed the direction of Shen Fang's fingers, and fell on Elena. The afternoon sun shines on her body through the gauze curtain. In the hazy light, the scars on her wrists are still astonishingly ugly. There are as many as four or five.

The person who begged for death... How many times has she begged for death?Why ask to die?

Heartbroken, K walked over to Elena in a few steps and took a closer look, only to find that she was much thinner than she remembered, with sunken eye sockets, fine lines, and thin arms hanging on the armrests. It became skinny and skinny, and the whole person was old.

K knelt down slowly and reached out to her, "...Mom, I am Wuqing..."

Then this faint call had no effect on Elena, she stared out the window loosely, ignorant of everything around her.

K held her slightly cool hand, and gently stroked the scars on her wrists with his thumbs. Several wounds were dark red, and there were traces left by stitches. K's eyes slid over each scar carefully, completely I can imagine how decisive she was when she started.

Why do you do this to yourself?

K was so distressed that he was trembling with his breath. This gentle woman always spoke softly to everyone and greeted everyone with a smile. Why was she so cruel to herself?

After a while, K got up and returned to Shen Fang, and asked in a low voice with a sullen face, "What's the reason?"

"reason?"

Shen Fang stared at K, and suddenly smiled: "You are one of the reasons. After losing you, she and Xixing were completely deadlocked, and she lost the mixed race of her child and husband. She can survive in the main city until now, thanks to my kindness. .”

K was silent for a long time, and then asked: "What about him? Leave her alone?"

"Which him? Your father?"

Shen Fang turned his head, his eyes faded: "Almost all the internal organs have become cancerous. I have been lying on the hospital bed for more than two years. I have consulted with the top doctors in the Federation many times, and I am powerless."

K knew that Shen Xixing was ill, but he didn't expect that he was dying. This father didn't spend much time at home, and K had a vague impression of him. The power of this news was far less than the shock that seeing Elena brought him. Come big.

K bowed his head and thought for a while, and then spoke firmly: "Give Elena to me, and I will take care of her in the future."

These words made Shen Fang narrow his eyes. He looked at K carefully, and after a while, he slowly raised the corners of his mouth and showed a satisfied smile.

"Yes. As long as you can gain a foothold in the main city, I will hand her over to you immediately, and I can also unlock some of her memory locks according to your requirements. The locks were locked in chronological order. What can she remember? Forget what, it all depends on your performance."

When it was dark, K and Shen Fang returned to his admiral's mansion.

This is a typical European-style castle. From the gate to the living room, you have to go through a long corridor.

Every time Shen Wuqing came here when he was a child, he would hold his mother's hand tightly in fear. The corridor seemed to never end, and the ceiling was so high. The light came in from the high-hanging windows, making the whole corridor dark and unclear. ,

The carpet under his feet was made of long-staple cotton, and he would stumble over his feet from time to time, making Xiao Wuqing, who had just learned to walk, stagger even more.

The most frightening thing is the grandpa in the living room. He always sits behind a black desk, and when he sees them coming, he nods his head slightly, his eyes are as sharp as a knife's edge, and scratches emotionlessly, making everyone shudder.

Back here again, walking in the same long corridor, K stared at the unfamiliar carpet on the floor, his mind was buzzing, as if it had been a lifetime ago.

In the shadow elongated by the setting sun, Shen Wuqing, who was frightened when he was a child, merged with K, who grew up with the imprint of F city.

He is clearly familiar with everything here, but it is so strange, he seems to be walking on clouds, one foot is deep and the other is shallow, uneasiness and anxiety follow him like a shadow, like two giant palms kneading his heart to the point of exploding .

When approaching the living room, Shen Fang turned his head and said inadvertently, "Still staying in your previous room?"

Seeing that K nodded hastily, Shen Fang changed the subject and led him directly to the dining room, "Eat first. You have slept for more than ten hours, it's time to eat something."

K had no objection, like a marionette, he sat down according to Shen Fang's request, and drank a glass of warm lemonade.

The dinner was delivered quickly. The Shen family retained a large number of Asian habits, using dishes and chopsticks. Shen Fang himself only ate Chinese food. Although there were only two people eating this meal, most of the dishes were spread out on most of the tables. , hot dishes, desserts, and soups are all available. It is the most sumptuous meal K has eaten in these years.

Shen Fang moved a few chopsticks and dishes, saw K sitting in a daze, took a sip of soup, and asked him aloud: "Are you used to it? These are better than nutritional supplements. From now on, you have to throw away all the food in the E circle." Get used to it and get familiar with life in the main city as soon as possible.”

"why?"

K raised his head and looked at Shen Fang across the table, "You don't like me, why do you want me to stay?"

Shen Fang put down the chopsticks in his hand, straightened his back, and the eyes that fell on K's face were indifferent, just like his tone.

"Because apart from you, the Shen family has no descendants. The position of federal marshal, I will not let it fall into the hands of other surnames. Asians around the world have worked hard for more than ten generations before they can fight for one-third of the status in the federation. I can't let that advantage go to my hands."

"I don't know anything about the Federation, so I can't take over from you. You should find a pure-blood who grew up in the main city, and tell the world that he is your grandson."

K replied in a dejected manner, just staying in this room would make him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles, and if he asked him to obey Shen Fang's orders, it would be like strangling his neck and not letting him breathe.

"If things were that simple, I wouldn't spend so much effort to find you and Ruyi."

Shen Fang didn't intend to go into details, and was ready to end the conversation with a few words, "You settle down first, and someone will take you to familiarize yourself with the environment from tomorrow. Have you turned 20 yet? There are still ten days to enlist in the army in autumn. Before that, for the Federation and the main city..."

"I said, I don't want to."

K interrupted Shen Fang's words, and looked at him across a dining table: "I am not suitable here, and I don't want to stay. Please lend me a terminal. When I get in touch with my friends, I will bring Ailian with me." Na left. I will not reveal my life experience to unrelated people, you can rest assured about this."

After hearing this, Shen Fang didn't express his opinion immediately, only the wall clock on the wall was ticking in the huge dining room.

In front of K was a plate of wax gourd in white oil, with scattered dried shrimps floating on it. Ever since he 'borrowed' the shrimps from the transportation team, Chen Yuan was keen to sprinkle a few of them in each dish. Big family', Chen Yuan always likes to say this sentence when he puts shrimps in his hands.

In fact, K doesn’t like eating seafood very much. He has some resistance to the sea and the creatures in it, but Chen Yuan thinks it’s a good thing, so he often makes it. .

Chen Yuan is like this, he will hold the things he likes in front of K completely, as long as K sees and feels, he is satisfied.

There is no other person in this world, like Chen Yuan, who has no reason to treat himself well without asking for anything in return.

K picked up the chopsticks, put a slice of winter melon into his mouth, it was a bit salty, not as delicious as his brother Yuan's.

Shen Fang saw K eating vegetables as if nothing had happened, and the strings in his mind that had been stretched for a long time broke with a snap.

He took a deep breath, and said calmly: "Have you been away from the main city for too long, and you have forgotten my temper? Letting you stay is not asking for your opinion, but an order. Helping a half-breed to a high position in the Federation, Do you know how much effort it will cost me? Do you think that if I had a choice, I would fall in love with you?"

"If Xixing hadn't disobeyed me and insisted on looking for Elena, I wouldn't have your mixed-race grandson. Your birth made me ashamed, and your crazy mother has troubled me for so many years. Now It's time for you to repay me!"

Shen Fang's voice rose with anger, and he put his right hand into a fist on the table. When he was excited, his arm began to tremble slightly. He stared at K with fanaticism and cruelty, like looking at a zombie with a knife in his hand. Life and death are in the hands of everyone. in his hands.

"This is what you and your father owe me. He can't give birth to the heir I want, and you don't want to live according to your own wishes. Your name is Shen Wuqing, not some Kyle, let alone a code like a beast K. A child of the Shen family, you must be worthy of your surname!"

"I spent a lot of effort to find you and your sister back then. You are a person who 'died' once, and since you survived, you will live like a human being. In the low circle, you can only rely on others and rely on physical strength for a living. Ups and downs have to obey others, such a day, are you really willing to live a lifetime?"

"I am your grandfather. I let you stay in the main city to push you to the position of marshal and to give the world to you. After seeing the scenery on the top of the mountain, you still want to go back to the flat ground and guard the whole world." Living in the mud?"

These words were both kind and powerful, which made K stunned. He stared at Shen Fang blankly, unable to think of a rebuttal.

Seeing this, Shen Fang slowed down his tone and lowered his voice, "Wuqing, do you know the origin of your name? 'Ji Wu Poor, Harmony Wu Widow, An Wu Qing', this is the name I read through ancient books before you were born. , the name finally picked from the Analects."

"You are the first son and grandson of the Shen family. No matter how dissatisfied I am with your mother, I knew from the moment you were born that I would do my best to help you to a high position. This is one of the reasons why I have always disliked you One, you know, my own position is not that troublesome."

Having said that, Shen Fang twitched the corners of his mouth and gave a faint smile, "It's also your father's fault, his unmotivated appearance made me not intend to let him inherit my position from the beginning, this burden Before you were born, it fell on your shoulders."

"After hearing the news of your death, I was anxious for a while and wanted to reconsider traveling westward, but he had already hated me deeply at that time, and there was no way to change the relationship between father and son. So I pinned my hopes on your sister and wanted to get married through her An available son-in-law, I didn't expect you to appear in the end after wandering around for so many years."

K's brain, which has just undergone surgery, cannot digest such a large amount of information in a short period of time. His head has swollen to the extreme, and his intraocular pressure has also increased. Everything in front of him is gradually blurred. He took a few breaths , caught a key point from the chaotic thoughts, and raised a question:

"Even, even if I promise you to stay, I will not break up with Chen Yuan. If you want a child, just mention my DNA."

"The in vitro birth box is only used by poor people in the low circle,"

Shen Fang raised his chin arrogantly, with contempt in his eyes: "Genetic modification, zombies, viruses, these are all means to control the low-end population. No high-level federal leader was born in a cold laboratory. You have to do it for yourself." The next generation of Marshal of the Shen family, make a sacrifice."

K frowned, and wanted to say something more, but Shen Fang made a stop gesture, then stretched his hand forward, and said calmly: "This topic will be discussed in detail later, you have dinner first. Rest well tonight, no matter what." pour."

As if he had climbed through thousands of mountains and rivers, Shen Wuqing lowered his head weakly, looking at the plate of wax gourd in white oil in front of him, with scattered shrimps sprinkled on it.After they talked for so long, the food was already cold, and a film of oil had condensed on the wax gourd, which made people feel greasy.

Shen Wuqing picked up the chopsticks, put a piece of shrimp into his mouth, and began to chew mechanically.

"Is it tasty?"

Chen Yuan looked up at a brown-haired man, staring intently at him putting wontons into his mouth.

The man chewed a few big mouthfuls, swallowed it all in one go, nodded and chattered, and Badam stood beside him helplessly, translating without emotion:

"Oh my god, this is the best meat noodle I've ever eaten. What is it? It's like magic. I can't stop. There are such delicious foods in this world. It's an eye-opener for me. .You are a magician from the east, your hands have magical powers, and you can conjure..."

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Chen Yuan interrupted Badam with a smile, and smiled kindly at the brown-haired man: "It's just small wontons, not as magical as you said. They used to be sold along the street with burdens, and they're not worth much!"

As he spoke, Chen Yuan took one out of the pot and put it into his mouth, chewed it, and frowned dissatisfiedly: "The proportion of flour is still a bit off, the skin is not thin enough, the shrimp is good, fresh enough to chew. Alas, you Want a bowl too?"

As he spoke, he stirred the pot with a big spoon, and was about to take out a bowl for almond, but the other party refused in a weak tone.

"No, I have to get used to only taking nutritional supplements."

Badam turned his face to the outside, trying to avoid smelling the tangy aroma of the broth, he struggled to hold back his saliva, his mouth seemed to be flooding, and even his words were a little vague.

"Why bother, who wants to continue chewing after eating good food?"

Chen Yuan involuntarily filled a large bowl of wontons, sprinkled white sesame seeds and chopped green onions, and stuffed them into Almond's hands: "Eat, brother, no matter how you treat me, I can still give you a bite."

He spoke so confidently, as if he completely forgot that he had to rub ingredients, tools and seasonings in other people's kitchens to make this pot of wontons.

In the past few days, Chen Yuan has become a frequent visitor to the cruise ship kitchen, reporting on time for three meals a day, and playing new tricks with each meal.

Breakfast is porridge, steamed buns and small pickles. The porridge is boiled with japonica rice. After boiling with a spoonful of oil, sprinkle with lettuce and let it sit for a few minutes.

The steamed buns are made with pumpkin juice or brown sugar. Once steamed, the steamed buns will be fragrant.

There are no usable ingredients for pickles, just take the pickled cucumbers in Western food, cut into cubes, and make a sauce with salt, sugar, and pepper, and that's it.

For such a simple breakfast, Chen Yuan would have to tinker with it for about an hour. When he was busy, half of the kitchen staff would be stealing from him to see how he used a knife and how to knead dough. Stretching his neck to smell the fragrance, he rubbed his hands secretly and waited for Chen Yuan to ask them to try the dishes.

Although this is a cruise ship departing from Circle B, the meals provided are all semi-finished products provided by several major food suppliers. The people in the kitchen can only pour the food out of the can, heat it, and put it on the plate. Get a decent cook.

So when Chen Yuan came, he was treated like a god.

After watching him finish a meal, the chef immediately approved that all the utensils and ingredients in the kitchen will be supplied to Chen Yuan in unlimited quantities, as long as he agrees to let everyone watch how he cooks.

Chen Yuan, who is a good teacher, readily agreed. With this amnesty, he used [-] kinds of martial arts, and every meal was not the same, and he played with the Chinese food dishes to the fullest.

At noon that day, he had a flash of inspiration, rolled out the stuffing, and cooked a pot of fresh shrimp and small wontons that were so fresh that his tongue would fall off, using the broth that had been stewed the day before.

Not only that, Chen Yuan also spread a little sesame oil in the bowl, and when he put the wonton and soup in, the sesame alcohol and aromatic hydrocarbons instantly evaporated, making everyone in the room shrug their noses involuntarily.

"You really don't eat?"

Seeing that Almond twisted his neck to push back, Chen Yuan viciously stirred the soup with a small spoon to make the smell of sesame oil stronger. Almond's Adam's apple slid a few times, and finally turned his head and took it. bowl.

"Eat slowly, just out of the pan, it's hot!"

Chen Yuan also filled a bowl for himself, watched Badanmu stuff it into his mouth hungrily, and reminded him funny.

Under Chen Yuan's watchful eyes, Badam wiped out the whole bowl like a storm, and drank the soup with his head up. He licked his lips eagerly, handed the bowl back to Chen Yuan, and asked, "Is there any more?"

"Of course, you have to be full."

Chen Yuan filled another bowl with a smile, and his expression was very happy: "I told you to eat whatever you want, but you are going to be tense. After a few days, you finally can't help it! Don't worry, with my brother here, no matter what You have a bite to eat."

Hearing this, Badam's eyes flashed, he took the bowl and continued to eat in silence.

Chen Yuan picked up his own wonton and put it in his mouth casually, his eyes fell on Badanmu every now and then.

Love salty fragrance, good noodles, meat and seafood, this wonton meal is specially prepared for almonds.

Chen Yuan cooked for several days, but Ba Danmu refused to take a bite. Every time he hid outside the kitchen, and waited for Chen Yuan to finish eating before taking him back to his room. Chen Yuan knew that he had to pry his mouth open with food , in order to get the information he wanted, so he carefully prepared this meal, just to lure Almond.

Fortunately, the fisherman was familiar with the nature of the fish, so he finally got him hooked.

After eating three bowls of wontons, Badam led Chen Yuan out of the kitchen. On the way back to the room, Chen Yuan proposed to go to the deck to enjoy the sea breeze. With a soft mouth, he was too stuffed with wontons to raise an objection, so he could only follow Chen Yuan to the bow of the boat.

This dinner lasted longer than usual, and when the two of them stood on the bow, the sky had already darkened, and they could see the starlight in the dark blue night sky when they looked up.

It was the first time for Chen Yuan to see so many stars, and he was a little fascinated. After a long time, he took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket to light it—this was his reward for teaching on-site in the kitchen.

Ever since revealing his identity, Badam has kept a close distance with Chen Yuan, able to monitor him and avoid too private topics, Chen Yuan saw through Badam's thoughts, and pressed down Stomach doubts can only be vented at a suitable time.

At this moment, the opportunity should come.

"Why don't you eat what I made?"

Chen Yuan puffed out a puff of smoke, and said in a complaining tone: "Why, you don't believe me before I don't believe you? Brother's cooking is not poisonous, and it won't ruin you if you eat it."

"It's not for this reason... hiccup~"

Badam hiccupped loudly as soon as he opened his mouth. The two of them looked at each other for a few seconds. Chen Yuan couldn't help laughing out loud. Badam's face changed a few times, and finally he laughed. Most of the estrangement dissipated in a meal of wontons and full belches.

After laughing, Badam turned his eyes to the sea, and said softly: "I'm afraid that after I get used to the food, I won't be able to take the nutritional supplements. My current economic situation doesn't allow me to take these for a long time, the nutritional supplements are the Food I can afford."

He turned his head and looked at Chen Yuan, and continued to say as if making up his mind: "However, maybe after a few days, I won't have such worries anymore."

"How many days?"

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, pulled the corners of his lips, and asked with a smile, "After handing me over to your boss? Sigh, how much am I worth? How much can you wait for?"

Badamu also laughed, and replied skillfully: "Brother Yuan, you are a completely free person. Once the blood analysis is spread to the main city, the entire upper class will know. I don't need to say how valuable you are?"

"When is the blood analysis?"

Chen Yuan frowned: "When you entered City E and got blood drawn?"

"No, your blood was drawn when you entered F22114."

Badam reminded: "People who enter the city for the first time will take blood samples. The system detects that your blood is abnormal, and it will be directly reported to the Federation. I got the order three hours after you entered the isolation room. Let me follow You are in the same room, and your every move is monitored."

Chen Yuan took a puff of cigarette, tilted his mouth and recalled the scene when he saw almond for the first time, turned his head after a while and sprayed a puff of smoke directly on almond's face:

"You kid has plotted against the law from the very beginning, why didn't I see it?"

Badamu didn't dodge either, and lowered his head to respond indifferently: "There are several federal agents ambushing in every city. This is my job. You live with me, which is safer than living with others. At least I must Keep you safe."

"Then I have to thank you!"

Chen Yuan turned back angrily, thought for a while, and asked again: "Did you stay here on purpose when F City evacuated?"

Badanmu leaned forward, put his hands on the railing of the bow and nodded, and said bluntly: "Yes. I have to stay and witness the complete emptying of City F. I really didn't expect that you would notice my absence."

In the second half of the sentence, Badamu's voice suddenly dropped an octave, and his expression was apologetic.

Chen Yuan snorted self-deprecatingly, and sighed: "Fortunately, I am so lucky, otherwise I would lose my own life, and even drag my little KK to die with me. You bastard is not evil! "

Speaking of this, Chen Yuan naturally changed the subject, and spread his hand at Badanmu: "Download the terminal for me, I have been locked up for so many days, I have to report K's safety, he and Tianmu do not know now What's the rush?"

Badamu looked at Chen Yuan, straightened up slowly, and his tone returned to the indifference of the past few days: "Tianmu and K are not together, they... probably catch up soon, as for K,"

Speaking of this, Badanmu paused, and looked straight into Chen Yuan's eyes: "He will stay in the main city to take over the position of Marshal Shen Fang, you must have heard of this, right?"

Chen Yuan shrugged, and replied indifferently: "I know, my family K is not an ordinary person. You know it too? Then you dare to kidnap me? Aren't you afraid of offending Tianwei!"

Badam stared at Chen Yuan for a long time, as if he was weighing the authenticity of his words, and after a while, he spoke again:

"Once he becomes a candidate, Shen Fang will definitely force K to marry and have children, and people in the main federal city will never use birth boxes... Do you understand what I mean?"
