The lonely foodie

Mobai and Ivan had already guessed who the person was, and quickly exchanged glances, mixed emotions of surprise, surprise, and curiosity.

"Is Keppel that blue cat?" Ivan stood up and asked anxiously, almost knocking over a jar of wine on the ground, Mo Bai hurriedly reached out to hold it.

The woman nodded.

"Are you the woman who wrote the note?" Ivan asked again.

"Yes." The originally calm woman, at least on the surface, looked quite calm, and now she was a little excited, "Thank you, Officer Huang, they rescued me."

"Sit down and talk." Mo Bai smiled, and pointed to a wicker chair next to him.

The woman didn't sit down, and looked around, "Where's Keppel?"

"Oh, little gray...we keep the cat at home. We don't want the customers to think it's unhygienic when we put it in the store, and it needs to be raised after being injured." Ivan rubbed his hands, his eyes were bright, as if Covered with a layer of mercury.

"Is it seriously injured?" The woman seemed to know about Keppel's injury, she didn't ask how she was injured, but directly asked if the injury was serious.

"You sit down first." Mo Bai saw that she was nervous, and pointed to the rattan chair again, "The injury is not serious, it is almost healed now, you can take it back anytime."

The woman finally sat down in the wicker chair, Mo Bai took a clean glass and poured her a glass of lemonade, the water was a bit warm, she grabbed it and held it tightly in her hand.

After drinking half a cup of hot water, the woman regained her composure, with a professional and decent smile on her face, "My name is Yu Guili, have you all read the book "Miss Li"?"

"I used to be in public relations." Yu Guili took a few deep breaths and said, "Later, I met my current husband... I will soon be my ex-husband, and I found out about him... a secret. He was afraid that I would go out and talk nonsense, so he told me Put me under house arrest."

"Anyway, thank you all this time. If you hadn't called the police, I guess I would still be locked up in that living tomb." The woman shook the water glass again.

Mo Bai got up, took the cup in her hand, and filled half a cup of hot water.

After filling the wine, Ivan was still sitting on the ponytail, looking up at Yu Guili, "The husband in "Miss Li" is gay, and Miss Li was put under house arrest only after she found out about it, then you..."

Yu Guili froze for a moment, looked down at a wrinkle on the skirt, and didn't speak for a while.

Ivan was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do. He hated that he couldn't speak enough, so he quickly made amends, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it."

"Yes." Yu Guili nodded lightly, "My situation is exactly the same as hers, so I only thought of writing to Jingluo for help."

"Exactly the same?" Ivan was also taken aback, "Will the whale fall?"

Ivan had seen a movie before, which said that a writer witnessed the whole process of a girl being raped/raped. Not only did the writer not lend a helping hand to the girl, but he even wrote a novel about it.Later, the novel became popular, but the girl who was raped came to seek revenge...

"No no." Yu Guili shook her head, "I was under house arrest when the book was published, there is no connection between these two things."

"Then how did you hand out the letter?" Ivan asked.

"Before I was placed under house arrest, I wanted to go to the "Miss Li" signing event, so I ordered the postcards that were signed at that time. I pasted the letter on the back of the postcard, saying please hand it over to Jingluo, and stuck it on Keppel's collar. Letting him take it out was only a one-in-a-million fluke, but I didn't expect it to be sent to Jingluo at the signing event, but I didn't expect..."

"I didn't expect Jingluo to think it was a prank?" Ivan took her words.

Yu Guili straightened her black hair that fell on her shoulders. Her hair was of good quality. Under the autumn sun, it seemed to be covered with a layer of mercury, moist and soft.

After tidying up her hair, Yu Guili returned to her previous professional smile, "I can't blame him. Normally people would think it was a prank. After all, it was too coincidental. I also thought that he was a writer, maybe A more sensitive perception and a more romantic heroism would have chosen to ask him for help."

Yu Guili paused, "I wrote a total of 108 pieces of the note you saw. Whenever I have a chance, I will ask Keppel to take the information out. The only ones who help are you. Fortunately, I met you."

I don't know if it's because there are too many lies in this world, or because human nature is indifferent.

"Xiao Hui... Kebao was you...that person hit him?" Ivan asked.

Yu Guili shook her head, "No, he wouldn't be so mad. Kebao was injured outside, and when he came back, he was covered with injuries. He originally said that he would take Kebao to the hospital himself, but in a blink of an eye Kebao was gone. I ran out by myself, I guess it came to you."

Footsteps were heard on the stairs one after another, Mo Bai turned his head and glanced at the wall clock on the wall, it was the guests who had made a meal order came to the door.

Seeing someone coming, Yu Guili hurriedly stood up to say goodbye. She was in a hurry and felt dizzy for a while. She held her hand on the handrail for a long time before regaining her footing.

"I'll come to see Keppel tomorrow." Yu Guili said, "I'm staying in a hotel now, and it's not convenient to take it with me."

Watching Yu Guili leave, Ivan sighed for a while. The stories in the novel overlapped with the real events, and it felt like a dream.

When closing at night, Daniel asked Bobo to bring over a bottle of sweet red soy sauce.

Soy sauce is made from soybean soy sauce bought in a soy sauce workshop, plus star anise, cinnamon, licorice, three Nye, cumin, pepper, ginger, brown sugar, and simmered for a whole day on low heat.

The color of the cooked sweet red soy sauce is brownish red. Mobai dipped a little with chopsticks and tasted it. It was salty and sweet, and the taste was very delicious.

This smell is very familiar, Mo Bai lowered his head and thought for a while, his amber eyes lit up, it was the smell of sweet water noodles.

Bobo didn't leave after delivering the soy sauce, but poked his head to look into the kitchen.

"What are you looking for?" Ivan kicked his ass, "Where's the cannon?"

Bobo clutched his buttocks and jumped out all the way, "Da Pao tore down the desks in the class, and the teacher is complaining at our house right now."

Ivan was overjoyed when he heard it, "Why is he dismantling the desk so neatly?"

"Who knows, maybe it's because I didn't choose the right name. The cannon's destructive power is not built on. Hey, Brother Ivan, what did Uncle Mo do deliciously today?"

Ivan kicked him on the ass again, "I have nothing today, from now on I will either be called elder brother or uncle, and the seniority will mess with you."

When Bo Bo heard that there was no food, he was a little disappointed and walked back dejectedly.

Mo Bai stopped him, "Bobo, tomorrow is the weekend, right?"

"Yeah." Bobo nodded vigorously, his eyes lit up again, "Uncle Mo...Brother, what are you going to cook for the weekend?"

"Is sweet water noodles okay?" Mo Bai asked with a smile.

"Yes." Bobo jumped three feet high, "That's great, I like sweet water noodles the most."

"Then please tell Aunt He Guang when you go back, come home to eat sweet water noodles tomorrow morning, as well as your parents and Da Pao, come together."

Bobo bouncing outside, Brother Ivan, Brother Mobai, Aunt He Guang... Huh... Why is this generation messed up again?

Lao Qi has been tormented enough these days, the store is closed, and he dare not go online, he is just swearing, if you look at people from beginning to end, you should see a psychiatrist.

"The two children are not going to school anymore, saying that their classmates ignore them." With a cigarette in his hand, Lao Qi squatted at the door of Fat Sister's porridge shop, and sighed again.

Fat sister is holding a mobile phone, and now live broadcasts are popular for selling goods. A small anchor is trying on the color of lipstick, exaggeratingly shouting, "Oh, nonono, this is really a death Barbie fan, I can't hold it, sisters..."

"Let me tell you." The fat lady was still staring at the screen, "This thing was done by that bad guy. If it wasn't for his instigation, would you have come up with such a bad move?"

"It's useless to say these things now." Lao Qi sighed again, "We have to think about how to stop losses in time."

Bobo came running up and down.

"Bobo, what are you doing?" Pang sister yelled crisply, "What are you talking about?"

Bobo stopped in embarrassment, "Brother Mobai asked to go to their house to eat sweet water noodles tomorrow morning."

"Mobai?" Lao Qi glanced at Fat Sister and then turned back to ask Bobo, "Did you call us?"

"It's called." Bobo jumped and ran away again, and didn't remember until he reached Sunshine Dessert, "Brother Mobai asked me to inform Aunt Heguang, did he say that he should be called Aunt Fat and Lao Qi? "

As the saying goes, if you are given the steps, hurry down, and if you are given the sun, hurry up to bask, not to mention that this matter is at a loss here, and Lao Qixin still wants to go to the hot pot restaurant early tomorrow, so what, stop the loss in time.

Sweet water noodles pay attention to noodles and seasonings.

Mo Bai was kneading the dough, when he lifted the curtain, someone came in.

"Xiaofan, add some noodles to me." Mobai didn't turn his head back, too much water was put in for kneading the noodles, and the dough was sticky all over his hands.

Lao Qi saw a bag of flour beside the stove, and inside it was a small green porcelain deep-bottomed dish. He scooped up a plate of flour and poured it into the big basin in front of Mo Bai, and asked, "Is it enough?"

Mo Bai raised his head when he heard the sound, seeing that it was Lao Qi, his surprised expression flashed, and then he returned to a gentle smile, "You're here? I thought it was Xiao Fan, sorry, sorry."

Lao Qi poked his hand, wanted to apologize but couldn't open his mouth, he was so ashamed that he didn't know what to do.

Ivan and the two aunts in the store went to fetch mountain spring water and returned, poured the spring water into the large water tank on the porch, scooped up a spoonful and drank it, the coolness soaked into the bottom of my heart.

He thought that if Mo Bai knew that he would drink cold water like this, he would scold him again, but when he rushed to the kitchen, he saw Mo Bai and Lao Qi chatting and laughing inside.

Ivan was so angry that he kicked the curtain with all his strength, but the door curtain didn't feel any force at all, and it swayed lightly, and he didn't know where to send the fire in his heart.

When they entered the kitchen, they threw pots and plates. The two aunts didn't know what happened, so they dared not go in outside the curtain.

When Mo Bai raised his eyes, he saw that the falling objects were all made of stainless steel, and the sound was loud, but the dishes were not broken, so he didn't bother him.

It's the same reason to quarrel with a couple and throw pillows and quilts. It's a lot of noise, but it doesn't hurt your vitality.

The kneaded dough is rolled into a one-centimeter-thick noodle cake, cut into noodles of the same width, grasping the ends of the noodles and stretching out a long noodle with a diameter of half a centimeter.

"Brother Seven, thank you for boiling some pasta water." Mo Bai said with a smile, as if Ivan didn't exist.

Lao Qi would advance or retreat, he was so embarrassed that he killed his middle-aged life, when Mo Bai called him, he was rescued immediately, and went to boil water in response.

"I'll burn it." Ivan yelled at Mobai, "Don't let outsiders dirty the things at home."

Lao Qi was embarrassed again.

Find the big pot for cooking noodles and boil half a pot of water, sneering at Lao Qi and sticking it aside, with an embarrassed smile on his face, Lao Qi is thin, with thousands of grooves on his face, with this smile, there are wrinkles around his eyes .

A pair of black and thin hands didn't know where to put them, they grabbed their trouser pockets for a while, and touched their noses for a while.

At the age of more than 40, there are already a few strands of gray hair on the temples.

Looking at it like this, most of the anger in Ivan's heart disappeared, and he felt some sympathy for no reason.

Mo Bai boiled the stretched noodles in a pot, took them out and rinsed them with cold water from the mountain spring, poured rapeseed oil on them, mixed them well, and put them in a dustpan to dry.

The noodles are thick and long, and two or three sticks make up a bowl.

When the neighbors arrive, add chili oil, sesame paste, mashed garlic, soy sauce, pepper noodles, and most importantly, sweet red soy sauce from the bowl.

The thick noodles are wrapped in a rich sauce and eaten into the mouth. It is quite chewy. The seasoning combines numbness, spicy, sweet, and umami. If there is more flavor, it will be too greasy, and if there is less flavor, it will be bland.
