Mid-Levels Farm

When they returned to the sea view villa, both Xiaoyan and Li Kai came over curiously to see the spoils that Xuan Xiaodong bought back.

Xuan Xiaodong sorted it out in the same way: "Aged black vinegar, balsamic vinegar made from grapes, the brewing process is the same as that of wine, and it has to be kept in special oak barrels for many years, this one is 30 years old. I bought a bottle of top-quality black vinegar, and I will try it first during this period of time, and if it is good, I can give it away when I go home. The owner said that only a few drops are needed, and it will have an excellent flavor, and it tastes good with everything."

Xiaoyan was surprised and said: "So exquisite! It looks like ordinary vinegar! Why haven't we seen such expensive and exquisite vinegar today?"

Xuan Xiaodong smiled: "You guys won't go to the small shop and look for it slowly." He took out another glass jar with golden yellow, rich and crystal clear: "This is red onion goose oil, the clear oil squeezed from the best fat goose. , and then put a lot of shallot frying oil until fragrant and filtered. I smelled it in the store and it was very rich. This noodles is delicious. I will mix it for you to try tomorrow morning. The cold dressing is also good, lighter than butter, but Tastier than olive oil."

Xuan Xiaodong picked up a few more bottles of sauce: "Mayonnaise, shrimp paste, garlic sauce, and smoked sausage, um, this is cuttlefish sausage, which looks very special, and there are also some dried fruits, dried plums, and dried figs. Dried apricots, pickled olives..."

He specifically picked out the bottle of pickled olives: "This one is good. The meat is very thick, and you can see that it is also very big. We tried it in the store. It tastes very good, salty and crispy, with a long aftertaste."

Li Kai said: "I've seen it used to pair with wine."

The three of them chatted and chatted, and in the living room, they counted all the things they bought today. Luo Yan even took pictures with her mobile phone, and planned to buy them all as usual, and bring them home to send to her family. Friends, it seems that you are really here for a vacation.

Then after packing and tidying up, Xuan Xiaodong went back to the villa room. The sea view villa is naturally next to the sea. From the bedroom, the blue sea covers the entire glass window, which is really the most noble enjoyment.

Sheng Wuyu was lying on the sofa, with his back lowered and half lying down, holding the electronic screen and electronic pen in his hand. He should have been reviewing the project materials before, but he had already fallen asleep with his eyes closed, his thick eyelashes drooping , exceptionally quiet.

Obviously still tired, his legs are not strong enough to support such a long walk, just to accompany him.Xuan Xiaodong walked over quietly, put the electronic screen and electronic pen on the next table, drew the curtains, and took a thin blanket to cover him. Fortunately, the sofa was wide and comfortable enough, so he was allowed to rest for a while. Prince Feng is still coming.

Sheng Wuyu was awakened by the sound of wind and rain.

There was a thunderstorm outside the window, and the blue sea that was calm before had now turned dark blue and black, roaring violently in the wind. When he opened his eyes, he saw Xuan Xiaodong standing by the window looking at the sea in the wind and rain.

A flash of lightning struck, splitting branches of white light in the deep blue sky. Sheng Wuyu raised his elbows and asked Xuan Xiaodong, "What time is it? Have I slept for a long time?"

Xuan Xiaodong turned to look at him: "You only slept for half an hour, and suddenly the sky changed, so fast, I don't know if Prince Feng will come or not."

Sheng Wuyu turned on his phone and looked at it: "Come on, they'll be here soon. How's dinner going?"

Xuan Xiaodong said: "No problem, the butler here has made arrangements, and I also ordered a few special dishes at the previous hotel to have them delivered."

Sheng Wuyu smiled and asked, "What dishes do you have?"

Xuan Xiaodong said: "Snails stewed in beer, bluefin tuna sashimi, pepper crab, shark in sour soup, peony shrimp, and other things are all arranged by the butler. They have too many banquets and pay attention to various dishes, so don't bother Yes, the housekeeper also said that we don’t need to be so polite to order another dish, and their chef can also arrange it.”

Sheng Wuyu said: "It's just a matter of showing your heart, let's change clothes, it seems that we are coming soon."

He got up and got up slowly, Xuan Xiaodong went to help him and asked, "May I prepare a cane for you?"

Sheng Wuyu smiled: "No, that's weird."

The two changed into formal dresses, went down the stairs, and saw a fleet of luxury cars driving into the villa in the wind and rain.

That Prince Feng was still so funny and friendly: "It's raining or not, I'm still here to disturb your vacation."

He stepped forward to hug Sheng Wuyu affectionately: "I'm glad to see my old friend stand up again."

He came over to hug Xuan Xiaodong again: "Sorry for disturbing your vacation, I hope you can have a good time in Jialan."

The Queen Zhen wore a cluster of pearl wreath earrings on her ears, her thick curly hair was tied up in a bun with golden pearl diamonds, and the rest of her hair was draped over her back, highlighting her slender and exquisite shoulders. She was wearing an apricot suspender dress , pieces of apricot-colored butterfly wings stuck to the skirt, romantic and not tacky, but made her whole body seem to be shrouded in soft light, and she had a childish smile, even a little naive.

Sheng Wuyu stepped forward to kiss her hand, but she smiled and said, "You're welcome, just shake hands." She looked at Xuan Xiaodong delicately: "After all, you are married to Mr. Xuan now, I need to avoid suspicion." It's gone."

Xuan Xiaodong smiled and came forward to shake hands: "The princess is really funny, please take a seat."

The four of them were seated, and the butler ordered the dishes to be served. The wind said to Sheng Wuyu: "Father, after learning about your miracle, seems to have made up his mind. He recently underwent a major operation. Several famous international experts were invited."

Sheng Wuyu said: "Your Majesty is wise and decisive, and you must be blessed by God."

The wind said: "I heard that Dr. Werther who treated you has also come to our country. Now there is a special medical team in the palace to treat the father."

Sheng Wuyu smiled: "Dr. Witt is mainly proficient in neurology, but he is also very accomplished in bionics."

Na Feng said: "I hope he can live a long and healthy life."

Na Zhen raised her glass with a smile: "Then for the king's health?"

Na Feng looked at her with a smile, and sure enough, he also toasted, the brother and sister seemed to have a very good relationship.

The main dishes were served one by one, and Na Zhen said: "I heard that Mr. Xuan is good at gourmet food. I don't know if you came to our Jialan, but you also tasted our food? What's your favorite dish?"

Xuan Xiaodong said: "Everything is very good. Last time, the ham served by Prince Feng was the most impressive. Later, we tried a variety of eating methods, such as matsutake ham rice, and the taste is also very good."

Na Feng said with a smile: "That is indeed a delicacy, but my favorite is the raw soy crab I ate when I was studying abroad in Xuanyuan..."

The topic naturally turned to food, and after a short chat after dinner, Na Feng and Na Zhen got up and said goodbye, as if they really just stopped by for a small gathering.

Before Na Zhen left, she held Xuan Xiaodong's hand, still smiling very softly: "Mr. Xuan is really handsome. I hope you and Mr. Sheng will have a good relationship for a hundred years. I will make up a wedding gift for Mr. and Mrs. Xian later."

It was raining heavily, Sheng Wuyu and Xuan Xiaodong watched the convoy leave side by side in the rain, Xuan Xiaodong said, "It's all weird."

Sheng Wuyu said: "The relationship between the king and the crown prince is always delicate."

He turned his head and saw Li Kai squinting at the heavy rain on the unremarkable porch, and said slowly: "The weather is bad, let's go back to the manor after another day of playing."

Sending off Na Feng and Na Zhen, Xuan Xiaodong and Sheng Wuyu went back to the room, took a shower and went to bed, watching the wind and thunder outside, and the sea was rough, the two lay on the bed, just cuddling each other and doing their own things thing, did not say anything.

Xuan Xiaodong was reading a new novel on the electronic screen. He originally thought that Sheng Wuyu was tired during the day, and only thought that he should fall asleep soon. Unexpectedly, Sheng Wuyu was only half lying down, without closing his eyes for a long time , just looking at the lightning and thunder outside the window and meditating.

He finally couldn't bear to put down the electronic screen and asked him, "Aren't you tired?"

Sheng Wuyu turned his head: "What?"

Xuan Xiaodong said: "You have walked for so long today, are you tired? Shall I give you a massage?"

Sheng Wuyu smiled, turned his head and closed his eyes: "I'm used to it, does it affect your rest?"

Xuan Xiaodong said: "No, is it the same way you used to work, reviewing the people and things you saw during official activities during the day, and recalling them at night."

Sheng Wuyu said: "Well... I have a subconscious occupational disease, I have forgotten that I don't need to think about these anymore."

Xuan Xiaodong took a deep look at him, went over and kissed his lips: "We can do something to relax."

Sheng Wuyu reached out and stroked his hair: "You don't need to comfort me, just hug me, don't worry about that, although I'm a little melancholy, but I have started a new life, the diplomat is the past, and I am looking forward to the future."

Xuan Xiaodong hugged him for a while and asked, "Then recommend me a novel to read, the one you like."

Sheng Wuyu thought for a while and said: ""The Green Pigeon", I like this story very much. The author's language style is cold and hard, short and very powerful. There is always a kind of cruelty in telling the story."

Xuan Xiaodong said, "Is it a tragedy?" He didn't want to watch a tragedy.

Sheng Wuyu said: "It doesn't count, it's complete when you say it, but the writing method can especially mobilize the reader's perspective of the bystander, you won't enter it, but you will care about the protagonist's story, you hope He is happy, even if he is not the perfect good person in the public opinion-and this is a story about a retired navy. The protagonist of the story is a soldier who raises and trains military pigeons on the ship. The story describes his life on the ship, until Life in the port, and then life in retirement, is quite interesting. I think you should like to watch it."

Xuan Xiaodong took out the electronic screen, and Sheng Wuyu clicked: "I bought it before, you can see all the books I bought here, some are in foreign languages, you can choose a translation, click here to read From the introduction to the story, to other people's book reviews and recommendations... Well, this is my own impression after reading it."

Xuan Xiaodong saw that the cover was a light blue dove, which was very artistically drawn, and it looked like a very tall and serious literature at first glance, but he still clicked to read it.

I thought it was difficult to read, but in the end, as Sheng Wuyu said, the author likes to use short sentences, and the short and clear language style is very easy to read.In the story, the naval training and the exotic customs of each port quickly attracted him, especially many chapters did have the after-reading impressions written by Sheng Wuyu himself. , Watching the fire from the other side, God’s perspective.” He couldn’t help but turn around and read that paragraph again, and he really felt a little sad.

After watching some plots that he didn't understand, and comparing them with Sheng Wuyu's comments, he felt enlightened again.

Later, he almost read the novel following Sheng Wuyu's comments.

Sheng Wuyu turned his head to see him seriously reading the book, knowing that Li Kai's joke that day was still in his heart, did he also start to want to understand his own world?

Sheng Wuyu smiled slightly, put his hands around the other's strong and thin waist, looked out at the night sky of lightning and thunder, and fell into deep thought again.

King Jialan made no secret of his liver problem in front of him, obviously releasing the information implicitly.

And Li Kai obviously seized this opportunity.

So, will King Jialan's surgery be successful?

How would he retreat completely, protect Xuan Xiaodong, and return to their hometown?Close your eyes, as if you can go back to the grape trellis on the farm in the middle of the mountain, the cat is lying at your feet, and the dog is running in the vegetable field.

He is homesick.
