Chapter 22 Osmanthus Candied Lotus Root Part 2

The author has something to say: The black cat licked its paws: "Meow——The bastard author is afraid of being hammered, so I pulled Ben Meow out to prevent disasters. In fact, I don't want to care about her, but after all, she decides my living standard. Meow - please forgive her this time.

The girl groped for the black cat, and carefully sat down at the non-bar counter near the door in the hall. Unlike all the past guests, he stayed as far away from the bar as possible. Can't stop running for the door.But the only thing left that made her suppress her instinct was this furry black ball that was standing upright, pressing on her calf with a small pad, trying to climb up while stepping on her shoes.

The girl hugged the black cat in her arms, squeezed the soft cat claws with her hands, and watched the black cat's sharp nails pop out from the pads, retracted, and retracted, and her heart was greatly healed. After getting tense, the girl hugged the fat cat to the bar, and spoke amidst the aroma of candied lotus root and the sound of gurgling.

"Boss, I want to order food." Her voice was very low, she didn't know if it was Shen Shi'an's illusion, she always felt that she seemed to have the urge to lift the black cat up in front of her eyes.

Before the black cat kicked his legs twice to get the menu, Shen Shi'an leaned forward and took the heavy menu book from the small basket and handed it over. I came up with an idea, next time I want to change the menu to that kind of disposable marking paper, so that the black cat can move its mouth.

The girl held the cat in one hand, and took the menu with the other. The thin arm obviously fell down, and she returned to her seat after catching it.

Zhou Ying looked at the brick-like thing with a helpless smile in his eyes, how could anyone make the menu so inconvenient.

The girl put the menu on the table with the black cat, and the cat squatted next to the menu and tilted its head, admiring the food with her, as if it did not regard itself as an outsider.After the girl pronounced the name, it raised its paw and pressed it again, and after pressing it, the little paw hung in front of its body, slightly hooked in, and looked at the girl with its crystal clear eyes.

anything else?

The girl covered her mouth in shock. Many things are different from her personal experience on the Internet. The skill of cat ordering is simply a big storm. No one's heart can maintain rationality in the wind. No dizziness.

Zhou Ying turned sideways, tilted his head, and quietly looked at the well-behaved black cat next to the girl. The whole cat was gentle and cute, without the slightest bit of hostility that was about to claw him just now.This feeling reminded him of many sad memories - Shen Shi'an didn't like him, and even his cat didn't like him.

After the girl was shocked, she couldn't help trying again and again. Zhou Ying witnessed a scene of lust, and the name of the dishes came out of the girl's mouth one after another. So far, it is conservatively estimated that there are more than 1000 things ordered.But the black cat seems to be a greedy little rich man, still dangling his little paws and teasing him with his eyes, just like a "black" cat who has no conscience and only likes to make money.

Shen Shi'an finally couldn't stand it any longer, walked around from the back of the kitchen, stepped over, pulled up the black cat's little paw that was still about to move, and patted it. "okay."

"Meow——" the black cat raised its small face to look at Shen Shi'an, and sat on the table obediently curling its little black tail.

Although the cat is a black cat, fortunately the store manager's heart is still white. Shen Shi'an only pointed to the menu page, lowered his eyelids and said expressionlessly, "If you are just a person, I don't recommend ordering so many dishes."

The girl was taken aback, and blushed before she could speak, probably because she had never met such a conscientious store manager, she stirred her belt with her fingers and said, "Otherwise, I'll pack it up and take it away..." In fact, she didn't care too much after taking it away. Know how to eat, girls eat less food, and most of these dishes will be wasted when taken home, but she really can't do this kind of thing after ordering and crossing out. It's not a good face, but for an introverted to autistic person Too socially challenging.

Shen Shi'an looked at the girl, probably thinking of his autistic and distorted childhood, but this girl is obviously different from him when he was bullied, most likely because the family is too well protected, so she developed a habit of blushing when talking to strangers. The wind and rain are delicate, when she was so panicked that she was almost trembling, Shen Shi'an couldn't help but slow down her tone. "Okay, I'll serve you some dishes that can't stay overnight."

The girl's heart, which was throbbing with the rabbit suffering from ADHD, suddenly relaxed, and she nodded with amnesty. "Thank you, thank you." I was as grateful as Shen Shi'an for giving her life instead of agreeing to her order.

Zhou Ying: "..." It's because he hasn't been to the grassroots for a long time. Is it true that all the guests are like this now?

"You're welcome." Shen Shi'an withdrew the menu, and before turning around, he glanced at the black cat that caused the crime, signaling that enough was enough.

The black cat is well-behaved. "Meow--"

The last soup in the pot was also put away at this time, and Shen Shi'an took out the candied lotus root soaked in red dates and brown sugar into a honey color from the pot and put it on a side plate to cool.

The black cat, which was enjoying the caress in the girl's arms, started to smell the scent, and barked in the direction where the scent came out. "Meow--"

Think exactly.

Shen Shi'an took out the toothpick from the dried candied lotus root and pressed it on the chopping board for cutting cooked food. The glutinous rice wrapped in the eyes of the lotus root gave off a tempting aroma as it was cut.Shen Shi'an cut the lotus root that makes cats drool into thin translucent slices, mixed with starch and soup to pull crystal filaments, and dipped in soft light under the light,

Zhou Ying was sitting in front of the bar, the ends of the narrow and long eyes were bent into an upward arc, his eyes moved to Shen Shian's face, and he said softly, "An'an, can I have some?"

Following this nickname, the black cat seemed to have been struck by electricity, its hair was blown from the root of its tail to the tips of its ears, and its body fluffed up instantly. , Its movements are still light, but there is a bit of threatening in the compressed vertical pupils, and the angry eyes are no longer like a cat. It stretched out its paws to Zhou Ying, and issued a warning in its mouth. "Woo—————"

The girl was taken aback by this sudden accident, wondering how the well-behaved kitten suddenly turned into a little beast, so she couldn't help standing up from her seat and watching nervously.

Zhou Ying still maintained his calm smile in front of the fried black cat, and even stretched out his hand with some disdain to push down the beast.

"Don't touch it." Shen Shi'an half-raised his eyelids, his eyes were cold, his tone was not good, especially from his usual emotionless voice, Zhou Ying could hear the obvious disgust.This was the first time that Shen Shi'an showed such hatred to him so bluntly, his heart trembled in a trance, as if he was afraid of causing further disgust, he lowered the hand that was raised in the air.

This was only a small gap. After Zhou Ying was honest, the black cat did not attack again. It was rare for one person and one cat to get along at the bar, ignoring the truce in the air for the time being.

Shen Shi'an lowered his head and continued to do his own thing. He neatly arranged the cut lotus root on a long snow-white plate, and took a spoonful of bright yellow Sophora japonica honey from the cabinet.Continuously sprinkled on top, sticky honey mixed with golden sweet-scented osmanthus flowed down the reddish lotus root slices, looking like a crystal lake somewhere.

Shen Shi'an wiped off the honey that accidentally dropped on the edge of the plate with a snow-white towel, and gave it to the girl over there. "Give some snacks."

The porcelain collided with the table and made a slight sound, bringing the girl back to her thoughts. She was obviously shocked by the attitude of the black cat and Shen Shi'an just now - this store seems to be quite unusual for both the owner and the cat, and the relationship between one person and one cat seems to be quite unusual. , It seems that they can't integrate into the mutual protection of others.

The girl sat down again. She wasn't hungry at first, but seeing the tempting lotus root sprinkled with honey, the aroma rushed into her nostrils.The girl couldn't help picking up the chopsticks and took a bite. The lotus root slices stretched out along the girl's ruddy lips. The scent of sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus root lingered between the teeth. The long-simmered lotus root was delicious and soft Rotten, the starch in it has been sublimated, and together with the glutinous rice, the taste is sweet and glutinous.

The girl held the lotus root in one hand, and put the other hand underneath to avoid splashing on her clothes. After swallowing it, she made a sincere comment. "It's delicious, even better than what my chef makes." As soon as the words came out, he seemed to realize that he had said too much, and lowered his head resentfully.

Shen Shi'an didn't care whether the chef she mentioned was a family restaurant or a private chef, whether she was competing with her peers or stealing a lesson.I just sliced ​​the remaining lotus root with my eyelids down, put it in a crisper and put it in an ice box to chill.

Shen Shi'an has an ice box specially filled with ice cubes, which is used to chill drinks or snacks.It may be because this is the most primitive way of refrigeration. He always felt that the taste of the food cooled by Freon in the refrigerator was different from that of the ice box.

Shen Shi'an left a few pieces on the chopping board, and the black cat was lying on the edge of the green plant with its two front paws, and its small crystal eyes stared at it for a moment through the gap, as if it was afraid that it might fly away.When Shen Shian finished his work and turned around again, the black cat lowered its paws, ran aside, bent its paws, and pushed the small bowl it was eating over to Shen Shian, side by side with Zhou Ying, but It sits on the bar, "a step above" the man.

The black cat raised its face and put on a well-behaved look waiting to be fed, and even wagged its tail a little. "Meow--"

Shen Shi'an put those slices of lotus root into a small plate, poured honey as usual, took out two slices for the black cat, and pushed the remaining eyelids to Zhou Ying without lifting his eyelids.

Zhou Ying looked at the slices of candied lotus root in front of him, the gloom that had enveloped his heart just now disappeared, and he smiled very lightly.

He knew from a young age that this was a man with a hard mouth and a soft heart.
