Mid-Levels Farm

The next day, an assistant sent a machine that can disinfect and remove insects from Jinghai City, as well as a large box of food.

The assistant sent here was Gao Li, a young assistant recruited by Yinghuo this year, and he reported to Sheng Wuyu respectfully: "Secret Shi said that I ordered it immediately after receiving your call yesterday, because she has an important meeting today. I want to host, so I asked me to send it to you, and at the same time I sent some important documents, saying that I didn’t want to disturb your recuperation, but it’s best to ask the chairman to sign these."

Sheng Wuyu casually took a pen to sign, and when he heard the dog barking outside, he knew that Xuan Xiaodong, who had gone to plant trees on the mountain, had returned.

Xuan Xiaodong entered the door and saw an off-road vehicle, so he knew that someone must have come to see Sheng Wuyu, so he put a hoe, turned on the faucet in the courtyard, washed his hands and changed his shoes, and then came to see Sheng Wuyu, with But he took a handful of Lingxiao flowers that had just been picked from the mountain, took them and put them in the vase on the low cabinet.

Sheng Wuyu was signing the contract with an indifferent expression. When he saw his orange-red Ling Xiaohua, a smile suddenly appeared in his eyes: "Are you back? This is Assistant Gao Ligao. He brought me something. This is Mr. Xuan .”

Gao Li was taken aback, and quickly smiled: "Hello, Mr. Xuan, I am Mr. Sheng's assistant, you can call me Xiao Gao."

Xuan Xiaodong hurriedly nodded, "Hello..."

However, Sheng Wuyu was already pointing at the big box of food with ice cubes with the tip of the pen in his hand: "Xiaodong took that box of food to the kitchen to clean it up, I ordered it, and that machine, There are video instructions, you can see if you can install it first."

Xuan Xiaodong took the things out easily, and Sheng Wuyu quickly signed the document, and handed the document to Gao Li: "Hurry up and send it back, this document is urgent."

Gao Li collected the documents and went out of the yard. Through the window, he could see Xuan Xiaodong opening the food box containing expensive food ingredients, feeling a little disappointed.He originally thought that he would have the opportunity to have dinner with Mr. Sheng today, and he has already piled up countless thoughts about the company's current work in his stomach, how to skillfully show how much work he has done, and how to quietly make some suggestions, Neither can bypass the merits of the boss, but also highlight their own advantages.

Not long after Shi Mi had just given birth, she obviously didn't value work as much as before, but it was her own opportunity. In the past, she did everything for Director Sheng herself, and no one else could get in. Next time, she may not be the one who gave it to her. However, Gao Li was still reluctant to give up this rare opportunity, and walked over to Xuan Xiaodong and said, "Mr. Xuan installed the machine? Is there any problem? Do you want me to contact the engineer for you?"

Xuan Xiaodong looked up at him slightly surprised: "It's already installed, it's very simple, and there are hints for every step."

Gao Li nodded, and saw that Xuan Xiaodong had opened the insulated ice box, and a large box was filled with ingredients under the white mist. This piece is the best part of the bluefin tuna, which alone costs 400 US dollars a kilogram, the caviar, the best quality, and the sea urchin is also freshly caught...all just arrived by air."

Xuan Xiaodong nodded and smiled, "It's really a very precious ingredient. Has Assistant Gao eaten?"

Gao Li was overjoyed: "In order to come here as soon as possible, I didn't have time to eat..." Hurry up to keep me, Hurry up to keep me, Gao Li looked at Xuan Xiaodong with piercing eyes.

However, Xuan Xiaodong turned around and opened the steamer, took a lunch box from the side, filled him with all the steaming steamed buns, covered them and handed them to him: "Assistant Gao, let's eat on the way." He also thoughtfully took two boxes of milk gave him the bag.

Gao Li: ...

He was a little discouraged, took the lunch box, thanked him, returned to the car, started the car and left.

Xuan Xiaodong watched the car go away, went to close the courtyard door, turned around and saw Sheng Wuyu exiting the door, hugging Xiaobu, leisurely looking at the scenery on the porch, saw him and asked him: "Is there anyone left for dinner?"

Xuan Xiaodong was startled: "It's your guest." If he wants to stay, it's a matter of extra chopsticks. The former diplomat has impeccable etiquette, so he has his reasons for not staying. Maybe the company has something urgent?It's inappropriate for him to keep customers on his behalf.

There was a little smile in Sheng Wuyu's eyes again, he just felt that Xuan Xiaodong was really a wonderful person.It's not that he doesn't know that all ambitious people in the company try to get close to him in different ways. It's rare for him to come out to relax. If Assistant Gao stays, he will have to put on his own skin. It's not that he can't, but he just doesn't want to.He is the boss, paid a high salary, so he naturally has the right to stay alone. Of course, Xuan Xiaodong is the master, so it's okay if he wants to keep guests, but he didn't expect him to pay so much attention to his feelings.

Xuan Xiaodong asked Sheng Wuyu, "These ingredients... how do you want to eat them?"

Sheng Wuyu said: "The raw beef is thinly sliced ​​and rolled with sea urchin, mixed with light lemon juice, sauce and herbs, and added with caviar, the taste is very good. I have tried sea urchin beef sushi before, it is very good, you You can try it."

Xuan Xiaodong hesitated and said, "Mr. Sheng, if you have a bad stomach, raw beef and sea urchin are not easy to digest."

Sheng Wuyu glanced at him and said, "This is for you, I'll just eat some fish porridge." He jokingly said, "You don't always treat me as a patient, and you especially like to give me the energy that patients eat. Something to make up for?"

Xuan Xiaodong's ears were reddish, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly. She silently picked up a sea urchin and pried it open, revealing the tender yellow sea urchin inside. She said softly, "I'll make sea urchin steamed eggs for you."

Sheng Wuyu smiled slightly.

Dinner was sea urchin raw beef, sea urchin steamed eggs, fish porridge, and Xuan Xiaodong used the leftover lemon to make lemon green tea. Sheng Wuyu felt a little strange watching him pour the tea back and forth between the two containers: "What is this?" ?”

Xuan Xiaodong said: "If you pull the tea back and forth, the bottom of the tea will be more delicate and smooth. In some places it is called bumping tea, and the fragrance will come out more."

Sheng Wuyu suddenly said, "Oh."

Xuan Xiaodong drew the tea, rubbed the lemons with coarse salt, then took ice cubes and sliced ​​lemons, beat them into crushed ice, added honey, mixed in green tea, and got a big pot of green lemon green tea.

At every step, Sheng Wuyu asked questions with great interest, such as what kind of sugar is this, why is coarse salt used, why is it necessary to beat it with a cooking machine, etc., as if he was very interested.

Xuan Xiaodong poured tea for Sheng Wuyu, then saw that the porridge had cooled down, poured him a bowl, and brought him steamed sea urchin eggs.

Sheng Wuyu was not in a hurry to eat, but just smiled and took a knife, slowly peeled a sea urchin, picked out the sea urchin, rolled up the thin beef lying on the ice, dipped it in the sauce and handed it to him. Xuan Xiaodong: "Try it."

His fingers are slender and white, like hands playing the piano or the violin, but such hands are peeling sea urchins for themselves. The pink raw beef and tender yellow sea urchins are pinched by his white and clean fingertips, as if they are peerless Delicious in general.

Xuan Xiaodong stared at his hand, actually a little distracted, Sheng Wuyu saw that his eyes were open as if in a daze, and simply handed it to his mouth, only then did Xuan Xiaodong regain his senses and opened his mouth to swallow the raw sea urchin—— The beef is tender and smooth, the sea urchin is fresh and sweet, the lemon is refreshing, the perilla and ginger shreds enrich the taste, and the wasabi at the end highlights these flavors.

It was delicious, but Xuan Xiaodong's nose was a little sour from the mustard, and his eyes were watery. Sheng Wuyu looked at it carefully, as if he had also eaten delicious food: "Am I right? It's delicious, right?"

Xuan Xiaodong nodded hurriedly: "Indeed."

Sheng Wuyu was very satisfied, and felt that the airlift was worth it, and told him: "The mullet roe from Jiani Kingdom is also very good, with a golden red color and excellent flavor, and there are mussels stewed in wine, yellow apricot cheese Braised crab is also good, next time I ask them to buy it, you try it."

Xuan Xiaodong showed some admiration: "Mr. Sheng has traveled to many countries."

Sheng Wuyu said: "Yes. I will take you to taste it when I have a chance in the future." I used to eat it and thought it was normal, but for some reason, he felt that the other party should have a different harvest when he ate it. Very happy.

The two had a very pleasant dinner.

Sheng Wuyu put the iced lemonade back on the table, smiled, and quickly finished the fish porridge: "I'm going out to relax."

Xuan Xiaodong looked up: "I will accompany you."

Sheng Wuyu didn't refuse. When he walked out the door, Xiao Bu jumped into his arms lightly. He touched Xiao Bu's head and saw that Xuan Xiaodong also loosened the collar of the little black dog tied by Chaimen. The dog followed them happily on four short legs and wagging its tail.

The sunset was in full bloom in the mountains outside, and the sunset glow was red. Xuan Xiaodong looked at it but murmured: "It should rain tomorrow."

Sheng Wuyu smiled and asked him, "How do you know about Kanyun?"

Xuan Xiaodong said, "Grandpa taught it."

Sheng Wuyu said, "Your grandfather taught you how to farm?"

Xuan Xiaodong shook his head a little sadly: "No, I worked with my father in the city since I was a child. After my father passed away, the police contacted my mother for me, and I lived with my mother for a while. Later, I dropped out of high school and had nowhere to go. But go, I delivered food in the city for a while, my grandfather found me in the city, brought me back, taught me how to plant land for two years, and then the village had a recruiting quota, I met the conditions, and it was just right, so I went to join the army... ..."

Sheng Wuyu was stunned: "Didn't finish high school?" He calculated in his mind, and it took two years to plant the land until it was full. Could it be that he left school at the age of 16 to deliver food?He suddenly felt a little anger and pity in his heart.

Xuan Xiaodong's ears turned red slightly: "Later, because of my meritorious service in the army, I was sent to a military academy to study for a period of time, and I got a high school diploma and a bachelor's degree."

Sheng Wuyu nodded: "Conscripts transferred from conscripts to special forces, and then sent to military academy, your achievements and abilities must be very impressive."

Xuan Xiaodong drooped his eyelashes, obviously not wanting to mention it again: "It's all over."

The mountain scenery was beautiful, and the air was filled with the scent of grass and trees that had been basking in the autumn sun all day. Neither of them spoke much.

They passed by the stream, and Sheng Wuyu saw a piece of ginger flowers, so he knew that this was the source of the flowers in his room. Sure enough, Xuan Xiaodong lowered his head and cut a handful and threw them into the basket - there were already some car fronts in it. Grass and some wild vegetables that I don't know.

Sheng Wuyu asked about the plants he saw on the side of the road, and Xuan Xiaodong answered them one by one, yellow sorrel, purple cabbage, water centipede, lemongrass, Prunella vulgaris, green ears, bermudagrass... Like an encyclopedia, she really knows the mountain like the back of her hand, and she knows exactly when the newly planted torreya tree will bloom and when it will bear fruit.

When the two of them reached the top of the mountain, they could feel the mighty mountain wind coming, bringing the fragrance of the grass and trees in the distance, and the sea in the distance could be seen as far as the eye could see.

When we walked back, it was already dark, and the sky was really covered with thick clouds, and we could faintly see the stars behind, but the clouds were changing very fast, and it was vaguely imagined that there must be a storm in the sky.

Neither of them were talkative, but when they returned to the room, Sheng Wuyu felt the long-lost relaxation.

Sure enough, it started to rain in the autumn at night. The sound of the rain rushing through the glass, as if sinking in the depths of a waterfall, was quiet and cool.

Sheng Wuyu thought about it in a daze, and fell asleep.
