Chapter 219 Memories
Xu Congyi observed Shen Xiao quietly, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. She held her chin with one hand, her eyes fell gently on Shen Xiao, and she savored the changes in him over the past year. She remembered that when they first met at Grandpa Shen's noodle stall, Shen Xiao was still a young boy. At that time, he had the burden of life on his shoulders. He had to take care of Grandpa Shen to make a living, and he had to take time to review his books. Although he had a handsome face, his figure looked a little thin.
However, looking at Shen Xiao now, he has become more mature, more stable, and more confident. He no longer has to worry about his livelihood, nor does he have to worry about his grandfather's health all the time. His face is more relaxed and comfortable. His figure has also quietly changed. He is no longer as thin as before, but has added a bit of healthy fleshiness, appearing fuller and stronger. Such changes make Shen Xiao look more sunny and handsome, and also more reassuring.
By the time Shen Xiao noticed Xu Congyi's gaze, Xu Congyi had already been staring at Shen Xiao for quite a while.
Shen Xiao raised his head and saw Xu Congyi staring at him. He was slightly stunned and his cheeks flushed involuntarily. He touched his face a little embarrassedly and asked softly: "Yiyi, is there something on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xu Congyi blinked her eyes quickly when she heard this, hiding her thoughts even deeper. She shook her head gently, with a gentle smile on her lips: "No, no. I just suddenly remembered the scene when we first met. At that time, I was still a skinny little girl."
After hearing what Xu Congyi said, Shen Xiao also laughed. Last year, he had not expected that the bond between him and Xu Congyi would be so deep.
......
The next morning, Xu Congyi adjusted the sauce. Fortunately, there were not many places that needed to be adjusted, and the new sauce was easily made. Wrap the sauce with plastic wrap and put it in his refrigerator. In the afternoon, Xu Congyi asked his father to pick five larger white-feathered chickens from the chicken coop and kill them. He still chopped them into pieces and soaked them in blood water for tomorrow's use. As for the side dishes, Tang Wenhao had potatoes and carrots. She specially made more rice cakes yesterday, which were just right for use.
When Tang Xiaowu came to get popcorn at noon, Xu Congyi specifically told Tang Xiaowu to tell Tang Wenhao that he would be there tomorrow morning and had something important to tell him, so he should not go out.
When Tang Xiaowu heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he asked curiously, "Miss Xu! Are you going to make delicious food again tomorrow?"
Seeing his expression, Xu Congyi couldn't help but laugh out loud, and deliberately teased him, "How did you know? Do you have the ability to predict the future?"
When Tang Xiaowu heard this, he straightened his chest immediately, patted his chest proudly, and said, "Of course not! Because the young master mentioned to me before that he wanted to open a restaurant with Miss Xu. Although the young master didn't mention it much recently and Miss Xu didn't come to the city much, but today Miss Xu suddenly said that she wanted to find the young master and said that she had something important to discuss. I guessed that this matter must be related to the restaurant. Besides, the fragrance wafting from your yard, Miss Xu, is so fragrant, so fragrant, you must be preparing something delicious!"
Xu Congyi laughed out loud at his naive appearance, secretly praising the young man's wit and attentiveness. She decided to tease him again, so she continued to ask: "Then how did you know that I was going to make something delicious? Maybe I was just going to discuss something else."
Hearing this, Tang Xiaowu smiled shyly. He scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly, "Hey, Miss Xu, please stop teasing me. My nose has been very sensitive to food since I was a child. I smelled that fragrance as soon as I entered the door just now. It was very tempting. You must be preparing something delicious again. So, I am even more certain of my guess."
Xu Congyi smiled and shook his head, feeling helpless towards this little foodie. "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. You can eat it tomorrow. I have prepared a lot of ingredients for making new dishes. When the time comes, I guarantee you will enjoy a feast!"
When Tang Xiaowu heard this, he cheered immediately, as if he had foreseen the delicious meal tomorrow. After thanking him repeatedly, he couldn't wait to drive the carriage away from Xu Congyi's courtyard. He had to tell his young master the good news as soon as possible.
"Master! Master! There is good news!" Tang Xiaowu went upstairs in two steps at a time. He knocked hard on Tang Wenhao's door, fearing that his voice was not loud enough to penetrate the wooden door and reach Tang Wenhao inside the house.
Tang Wenhao was dealing with some trivial matters in the house. When he heard Tang Xiaowu's hurried knocks and shouts, he couldn't help but put down the pen in his hand and speculated in his heart. He knew that Tang Xiaowu had just returned from Xu's house at this time. According to the usual practice, if Xu Congyi had any new food or news, he would always let Tang Xiaowu bring it back. Thinking of this, he felt a little more expectant.
