Lin Yue didn't reply to her text message, but directly picked up the phone and called her.

Mary picked up quickly.

Lin Yue said: "You don't want to buy groceries, let me buy them. I will go there early at noon."

"okay."

"See you at noon then."

"See you at noon."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yue went home and slept for a while. He left the dormitory at almost 11 o'clock and went to a shopping mall for shopping. After that, he took a taxi to the vegetable market not far from Mary's downstairs.

Half a pound of oyster meat, five duck eggs, several pieces of fish belly, a handful of vegetables, one squid, two bell peppers, minced onions, ginger and garlic, lard, chili and sweet potato powder...

At about 11:30, Lin Yue rang the doorbell of Mary's house.

Following the sound of footsteps, the door opened with a bang, and she appeared less than one meter away wearing sportswear.

I was used to seeing Mary in suits and leather jackets, but looking at her now, she looked less sharp and more weak and lazy.

He showed off what he had gained from going to the vegetable market: "I'm here."

"Come in quickly."

Mary let him into the room: "Looking at how hot you are and sweating, go to the bathroom and wash your face first. The towel is placed on the iron rack above the sink. I'll take the dishes to the kitchen first."

"I don't know why it's still so hot in November." Lin Yue gave her the things, turned around and went into the bathroom, rinsed his face with cold water, picked up the towel on the iron rack and wiped it gently.

The cotton thread is soft and has the scent of lavender.

After washing her face, she walked into the kitchen. Mary had already taken out the things from the plastic bag and was looking at the dishes in a daze, as if she didn't know what to do.

"Have you never cooked at home?" He handed the vegetables to her: "Go to the sink and rinse them."

She took the dish and said: "I live alone here. I usually cook a bowl of porridge, fry an egg, and make doll noodles. I rarely cook anything. But you, who usually live in a dormitory, often cook by yourself

Are you cooking?"

Lin Yue picked off the dried green onion leaves and cut them into several sections with a knife. While going to the condiment shelf to get some oil-based dark soy sauce to mix the marinade, he said: "I am from the New Territories. I have been in high school since I was in middle school.

I started cooking, and now my parents know that when I come home, they always prepare the dishes in advance and wait for me to go over there to cook them."

"So, I'm having a good time today?" She handed over the washed vegetables, drained the water, and picked up the fish belly in a small stainless steel basin and rinsed it.

"I forgot to buy wine." Lin Yue had just poured an appropriate amount of water into the starch and stirred it twice, when he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to buy something to drink.

Mary said, "There's beer in the refrigerator."

"That's OK."

After breaking away the starch, he took the cutting board, cut off the roots of the cabbage and put it on the plate. He also smashed two garlic cloves and set them aside. Afterwards, he took the rinsed fish belly and cut it into small pieces, adding marinade to marinate it.

Cut the bell pepper into triangles, remove the internal organs from the squid and cut out the patterns, and set aside sections.

Add shrimp paste and chopped green onion to the starch liquid, mix it with the oyster meat blanched in boiling water to make a slurry, remove the shells of the duck eggs and beat them into pieces.

After all the ingredients were processed, he heated up the oil and started cooking.

First is the stir-fried vegetables with the simplest process.

After the lard is hot, add the garlic cloves and stir-fry the cabbage stems until golden brown. Stir-fry for a while and then add the cabbage leaves. Finally, pour some shrimp paste and serve.

Heat oil again, add garlic cloves and chili peppers until fragrant, add bell peppers and stir-fry, then add squid segments blanched in boiling water, and finally add salt and mix well.

The fish belly is fried, then boiled, then cooked in a pot, and finally oyster pancake.

It took about an hour to prepare all four dishes.

Shrimp paste vegetables.

Fried squid with bell pepper.

Oyster baked.

Fish belly pot.

Mary simmered the rice and walked out of the kitchen holding the fish belly pot. Lin Yue took two cans of beer from the refrigerator and put them on the dining table.

"Oh, it smells so good."

She couldn't wait to add a piece of squid to her mouth.

“I didn’t expect your Chaoshan cuisine to be so good.”

"They are just home-cooked dishes." Lin Yuexin said that after all, she has stayed in the world of "Chasing the Dragon" for 20 years. My father-in-law is from Chaoshan. My mother-in-law, in order to please the Da Lao family, of course has to work hard on Chaoshan cuisine. Qing'er is my daughter.

Yes, his cooking skills are naturally good due to his influence. The two of them have been together for so long, and he has more or less mastered a few special dishes.

"If you like to eat, I will help you make it when I have time."

"Okay." Mary said happily.

HK is a financial center and a food city in Asia. It has a rich selection of Chinese and Western food, northern and southern cuisines, sweets and drinks. However, no matter how many styles and unique flavors there are, eating out will always lack the feeling of home. Over time, you will

I feel like I'm floating around and insecure.

Only like now, with two people, a few plates of home-cooked food, and a bowl of steaming rice, eating, drinking, talking and laughing, can we feel the warmth of home.

Lin Yue drank two cans of beer and added some rice, then took the empty dishes to the kitchen to wash.

Mary went over to help, so the two of them cooked, ate, and washed the dishes together.

When Lin Yue was cleaning the floor and leaving vegetable leaves behind, she went outside to make two cups of tea. After he came out and sat down, she took out the cash she had prepared in advance.

"This is the money to buy the range hood, you keep it."

"Okay." Lin Yue said yes, but his body didn't move at all: "I just happen to have something to give you."

"what?"

He took out a beautifully designed box from his pocket, with a watch inside.

Mary noticed that there were two grooves in the box, but only the left groove contained the watch. The shape was not cool, but the detailed design was great.

"This is too expensive."

"Two watches only cost 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. Are they expensive? I don't think so." Lin Yue raised the ones he wore on his wrist.

Obviously, this is Cartier’s couple series of watches.

Mary said: "Your salary is only over 30,000 yuan."

Lin Yue ignored her, took her hand, untied the watch and put it on her: "Today I gave you a watch, I hope next time I give you a ring."

Mary lowered her head and remained silent.

Maybe Lin Yue didn't know that she originally had a watch, but she gave it back to Lao Xu a week ago because she didn't want to have anything to do with that person anymore.

After helping her put on the watch, he took her hand and clasped their fingers together.

"Wear this watch and you will be my girlfriend. If anyone bullies you in the future, just tell me my name."

Mary gave him a sharp look: "Glib."

"do not move."

Lin Yue said: "It's this very madam expression that makes people want to conquer."

As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned forward very quickly and tapped Mary's lips.

The five fingers clasping the back of his hand tensed instantly.

Mary looked at him blankly, the air seemed to freeze and time seemed to freeze.

Lin Yue moved his face back again.

(Omit the following content, make up your own mind.)

…

The sun sets in the west and the sunset is picturesque.

Lin Yue put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, got up from the bed and put on his pants.

Mary looked at his muscular upper body and said, "The sisters in Group C are really mistaken."

Lin Yue took the shirt that was thrown on the chair and put it on, then went over to kiss her: "What? Are you not having fun? Do you want something exciting tonight?"

Mary thought for a moment and said, "Lin Yue, I don't want my colleagues to know about our relationship for the time being."

Lin Yue asked while tying his tie: "Why?"

"It's not good for it to reach SIR Huang's ears. Let's wait until the case is settled before telling them."

"I'll listen to you."

Because they were not rich in time, the two went out to have something to eat, and then drove Mary's car to the workplace.

Mary took the first step, and Lin Yue smoked a cigarette outside before going upstairs.

"Brother Yue, Azu bought the turtle jelly." Xiaoxiang handed him a small plastic bowl with a black jelly-like object inside.

"Azu is so generous today. What's the happy event?"
