1)
The soup base of hot pot is divided into spicy and non-spicy. Lin Fei took out the mandarin duck pot and put two kinds of soup base.
There are a wide variety of ingredients on the table, including chicken, duck, fish, and various seasonal vegetables.
"Gudu, Gudu, Gudu..."
With the help of the little fireball, the soup base quickly boiled. Lin Fei saw this and said to Zhou Yue who was playing on his mobile phone.
"The water is boiling, you can add the ingredients. You can add whatever you want to eat."
Zhou Yue put the lock screen of her phone aside, then picked up some chopsticks and picked up some mutton rolls, put them into the boiling hot pot soup and rinsed them.
Because she can especially eat spicy food, the bottom of the hotpot is the spicy side.
The mutton rolls are cooked after being boiled for a few times in the pot. When they are taken out, they are very bright in color and oily, which makes people feel particularly spicy just by looking at them.
The dipping sauce is sesame sauce. The fragrant lamb is rolled in the sesame sauce and then put into the mouth. The delicious taste blooms between the lips and teeth.
Lin Fei saw Zhou Yue's happy face and said with a smile, "How does it taste?"
"It's delicious." Zhou Yue said, then picked up some other ingredients and put them into the pot.
The two of them happily ate hot pot and chatted for a while. In the living room, the ordinary little stone ball lying on the coffee table turned a few times and seemed curious when listening to the sound coming from the direction of the restaurant.
Thinking.
"Who is this woman? How can she be treated so favorably by Lin Fei?"
On the balcony, Qisehua, who had had a lazy sleep today, woke up and found that Zhou Yue was at home. Not only was he unable to watch TV in the living room, but he was also unable to move around freely, which made him very depressed.
"It's this woman again. She's celebrating the New Year. If she doesn't stay at home, why does she come to Lin Fei's house for lunch?"
"Tons, tons, tons..." Zhou Yue ate a piece of beef in the bowl, then picked up the beer in front of her and drank it all in one gulp.
"I'm stuffed."
Lin Fei looked up at her, swallowed the food in his mouth, nodded and said, "You are full so quickly! It feels like you eat a lot less than usual."
"It's not bad! It's not much different from what I usually eat. Maybe I drank a little too much." Zhou Yue said with a smile and glanced at the dozen empty cans on the table.
"Just let me clean it up." Lin Fei said when he saw Zhou Yue clearing the dishes, then raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
Originally, she wanted to clean up the dishes and take them to the kitchen, but after hearing what Lin Fei said, before Zhou Yue could put down the dishes, the dishes in her hands floated up and flew towards the kitchen.
"I'll take you home!" Lin Fei stood up. When Zhou Yue heard this, she immediately rolled her eyes at him.
Lin Fei, who was given a blank look, looked at Zhou Yue in confusion, only to hear the latter say, "I'm going home alone now. I'll stay for a while and go back when it's time for dinner."
"Oh." Lin Fei nodded, then sat down again, picked up the chopsticks and started eating hot pot.
Zhou Yue left the restaurant while Lin Fei was eating hot pot and walked to the balcony.
"call……"
Pushing open the glass door and going to the balcony, a gust of wind immediately blew over her. Zhou Yue shook her body in the cold. Fortunately, she had just finished hot pot and her body was warm. Otherwise, she would have felt better now.
In the flowerpot on the balcony, the seven-color flowers swayed gently with the gust of wind, just like other plants on the balcony, they looked very ordinary.
Zhou Yue came to the balcony and looked at the spiritual plants that Lin Fei had raised. They were all growing very vigorously. It could be said that they were growing gratifyingly.
"Hey, this flower has been growing for so long, why is it still this small? Is it malnutrition?" Zhou Yue came to the front of the seven-color flower, looked at the seven-color flower that she had seen before, and muttered.
"Wow, wow, wow..."
The sound of water flowing sounded, and the seven-color flower in the flowerpot secretly opened his eyes and looked towards the place where the sound came from. He saw Zhou Yue holding a kettle to store water in the pool.
"This woman is watering again. Don't water me so much anymore! It's making my house muddy. It's very uncomfortable in the winter."
Zhou Yue filled the kettle with a full pot of water, turned on the faucet, and began to glue the spiritual plants on the balcony.
Soon, all the spiritual plants were watered by Zhou Yue, and then she came to the last pot of potted plants that had not been watered yet.
The water poured down like silk threads, covering the seven-colored flowers from head to toe.
The slightly dry flowerpot was quickly filled with water. What worried Qisehua the most happened. The woman in front of her, just like before, flooded it with water.
"Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock..."
Zhou Yue gave the last few drops of water in the kettle to Qisehua.
The wind on the balcony was quite strong. Because I had just eaten hot pot, my body was still relatively warm and I didn't feel cold at all.
After pouring water once, she was blown by the wind, and her body couldn't bear it, so Zhou Yue quickly put the water bottle in her hand on the ground, then turned around and returned to the bedroom.
Feeling Zhou Yue leaving, Qisehua opened its eyes. It looked down at its body and the moist soil, and sighed feebly in its heart.
Then it raised its hand and wiped its face to wipe away the water on its face. Then, it increased its strength to absorb the moisture in the soil.
Zhou Yue returned to the sofa in the living room and sat down. In Lin Fei's home, just like she was at her own home, she picked up the remote control, turned on the TV, and lay on her side on the sofa without any scruples.
"what is that?"
Zhou Yue watched TV for a while and noticed a round object on the coffee table. She sat up and then reached out to take the round object from the coffee table.
"Is this a stone?"
A small, ordinary stone ball lay quietly on the white palm of her hand. She shook it gently and flicked it with her fingers. Zhou Yue didn't understand why Lin Fei had such a small stone ball in his home.
"Lin Fei, why do you have a small stone ball at home? What is it used for?"
In the restaurant, Lin Fei, who was eating hot pot, heard Zhou Yue shouting to him. He suddenly thought of what the small stone balls Zhou Yue said were, and then he responded casually.
"That's what you're talking about! I picked it up on the road. I thought this little stone ball was so round and unusual, so I picked it up. It's just an ordinary little stone ball and has no use."
The small stone ball lying on Zhou Yue's hand remained silent when it heard the conversation between the two.
After listening to Lin Fei's explanation, Zhou Yue suddenly felt that the small stone ball was boring, so she put it back on the coffee table, then lay down on the sofa again to watch TV.
“Today, our reporter went to the Psychic Research Institute to interview the director of the Psychic Research Institute.
As for the fruit grown from the mutated peach tree, it can be determined that at its current maturity rate, it will be mature by the Lantern Festival."
Ning Yu, wearing festive red overalls, told the camera the news about the hundred-meter-high peach tree made by Seven Color Flowers.
After Zhou Yue, who was lying on the sofa, heard the news, she sat up suddenly and walked quickly to the restaurant.
On the coffee table, the little stone ball quietly rolled a few times and returned to its usual place, leaning against a box containing chocolates.
"Lin Fei, I just saw a piece of news saying that the fruit grown from the mutated peach tree will be ripe during the Lantern Festival." After Zhou Yue walked into the living room, she said to Lin Fei who was eating crabs.
Putting the crab shell in his hand on the table, Lin Fei turned to look at Zhou Yue who looked excited, "I know! This news was reported a few days ago."
"Well, didn't you say before that when the fruits on the peach tree are ripe, you would find a way to get one or two ripe peaches?" Zhou Yue said.
Lin Fei nodded, "I'll call Han Xue in a few days and I should be able to get one or two ripe peaches."
"Is it possible?" Zhou Yue said with some doubts.
"It shouldn't be a big problem, it's just a few peaches, nothing particularly rare." Lin Fei felt that judging from the many times he had helped the Superpower Administration, getting a few peaches was a sure shot.
Zhou Yue, who didn't know that Lin Fei had helped the Superpower Management Bureau several times, naturally didn't have much confidence in what Lin Fei said.
"What do you mean it's not very rare? A peach tree of that size is unique in the world.
When the fruit matures, the relevant organizations will definitely get the priority. You are just a temporary worker at the Superpower Management Bureau, so you will definitely be ranked lower."
After hearing what Zhou Yue said, Lin Fei rolled his eyes at the other person and said, "Have some faith in me. If you are confident, you will definitely be able to eat the fruit grown from that mutated peach tree."
While Lin Fei and Zhou Yue were bickering, Wang Xiaoru, who was far away in the capital, was attending the funeral of a distant relative.
Wang Xiaoru, a distant relative, was in his early 100s when he passed away, which is considered a rare longevity among humans. In addition, he passed away peacefully, so although everyone was very sad when he passed away, it was considered a joyous loss.
At noon, the deceased relatives are sent away and then have a feast.
It was still a while before the dinner time started, and Wang Xiaoru's family of three were sitting on their seats, chatting with other relatives.
"The weather in Beijing is too cold and I'm not used to it," Wang Xiaoru's mother said to her daughter next to her after chatting with other relatives.
"Take this to warm your hands!" Wang Xiaoru knew that her mother's hands were not easy to warm in the winter. She took out an egg-sized, red crystal from her bag and injected a trace of psychic energy into it.
Stuffed into mother's cold hands.
The red crystal stone absorbed spiritual energy, immediately raised its temperature, and turned into a hand warmer.
Tang Ying held the red crystal stone and felt its temperature, and her cold hands began to warm up.
After carefully looking at the gem-like red crystal in her hand, she asked her daughter in surprise, "Where did you get this?"
"Lin Fei gave it to me."
"It looks like a gem, but it can generate heat. It's really magical. This thing shouldn't be cheap! How can you let Lin Fei spend so much money?"
"Lin Fei said that he got this thing by chance and it's not worth much."
Because Wang Xiaoru said that red crystal stones were not valuable, Tang Ying took it for granted that the special hand warmer in his hand was indeed not worth much.
The mother and daughter were chatting, and the time for the dinner was getting closer and closer. At this time, a girl wearing glasses passed by their table in the distance.
The girl's name is Wang Hui, Wang Xiaoru's distant cousin. She graduated from college last year and is now an intern at the Beijing Psychic Research Institute.
"What is this?" Wang Hui was about to go back to her table and sit down. Suddenly she saw something familiar in Tang Ying's hand, and she was stunned for a moment.
"It should just look alike." Wang Hui muttered to herself uncertainly.
Tang Ying heard a voice coming from behind her. She turned her head and saw that it was Wang Hui. She smiled and said, "Wang Hui, what's the matter?"
"Cousin, can you let me see what you have in your hand?" Wang Hui asked.
"Okay." Tang Ying handed the hand warmer in his hand to the other party.
When Wang Hui took the red crystal stone, she immediately felt the heat emanating from it.
"This temperature is exactly as described in the introduction."
Wang Hui took out a pair of magnifying glasses from her pocket. She injected spiritual energy into the spiritual weapon, and then a pale golden light flashed across the surface of the magnifying glass.
Wang Xiaoru and her mother looked at Wang Hui's behavior with confusion, wondering why Wang Hui observed this hand warmer so carefully.
When the other elders at the table saw Wang Hui's move, they also showed the same puzzled expression.
"It really is a red crystal stone!!!" After some inspection, Wang Hui said in surprise.
"Red crystal stone?" Upon hearing the name Wang Hui said, Wang Xiaoru and her mother immediately reacted. This hand warmer turned out to be called red crystal stone!
"Cousin, where did your red crystal stone come from?"
Wang Hui, who was an intern at the Beijing Psychic Research Institute, knew that red crystal stone was extremely rare this time and was a necessary material for making psionic bombs.
Last year, the Psychic Research Institute increased the price again and again, looking for red crystal stones from everyone, but in the end, they didn't receive any.
"This hand warmer was given to your cousin by your cousin's friend. What's wrong? Is this thing very precious?" Tang Ying asked doubtfully.
"Hand warmer?" After hearing what Tang Ying said, the expression on Wang Hui's face froze.
This is a rare material that can be used to make powerful weapons such as psychic bombs, and it is actually used as a hand warmer.
When she went to work, if she told her colleagues that red quartz stones were being used as hand warmers, they would probably scream that it was a waste of natural resources.
"Cousin, cousin, this red crystal stone is very precious, it can be said to be extremely rare.
Last year, the Institute of Psychic Energy was looking to purchase this thing, and now the price of this thing has exceeded 30 million, and it is still priceless." Wang Hui took a deep breath, and then said.
"The price has exceeded 30 million, and it is still priceless?" Tang Ying was surprised when he heard this.
Although 30 million is not a particularly large amount of money for her family, my daughter said that Lin Fei, who gave her the gift, gave this expensive thing to her without caring.
"This thing can only be used to heat the bath water when taking a bath, and it can also be used as a hand warmer. Why is it so expensive?"
Wang Xiaoru also didn't expect that the hand warmer given by Lin Fei was worth tens of millions, so she asked in confusion.
