Chapter 679 What I have seen and heard, I don't believe it
When Xu Qin walked into the door of the villa, what she saw was the scene in front of her. Sun Jie's heart was in Sun Quan's arms. Both father and daughter were smiling happily. The joy made Xu Qin feel sour and slightly relieved at the same time.
"Now that you're here, let's start dinner! I'll be waiting for you."
At this moment, Yuan Shuiqing stood up on the sofa to say hello. Xu Qin noticed that Yuan Shuiqing was as big as a belly, and her cheeks seemed to be plumper than before, but the gentle smile on her face seemed to be shining, which made Xu Qin feel jealous.
No thoughts can be born.
Maybe only a woman like Sister Yuan is worthy of Brother Quan, right?
Xu Qin had this idea in his mind.
When this idea came to her mind, the smile on her lips became more complicated.
At this time, Cai Yanan came over to greet Xu Qin and Gao Guang and Tian Youzhi who came in behind. Soon, everyone came to the restaurant to have dinner together.
Even when eating, Sun Quan still stayed with his daughter, as if he didn't want to separate for a moment. He held chopsticks in one hand and held his daughter Sun Jiexin in his lap with the other. Before he could take a bite, he picked up the food.
The food was fed into my daughter’s mouth twice.
Sun Jiexin, on the other hand, didn't give her much respect. If Sun Quan put a dish to her mouth, as long as she didn't like it, she would turn her head and point to a certain dish on the table.
This scene made everyone at the table feel emotional.
The old lady said: "Xiao Sun, if you spoil Xinxin so much, you will spoil her rotten."
Xu Mei, Sun Quan's mother, said: "It's just Xinxin. As big as A Quan is, I have never seen him be so patient with others..."
"Little Apple" Han Li clicked her tongue twice and sighed: "Now it seems that Xinxin's fate is good! She really won at the starting line! Haha."
Even Yuan Shuiqing laughed and said, "Ah Quan, don't rely on your heart for everything."
It was the first time that Gao Guang and Tian Youzhi met the proprietress, and they were a little reserved. At this time, looking at the scenes of Sun Quan and their daughter, there was a bit of envy in their eyes.
This kind of life is probably what every man yearns for, right?
I have a beautiful and gentle daughter-in-law at home, and a lively and lovely daughter.
Although Xu Qin was smiling along with the crowd at this time, the complex emotions in her heart were difficult to express.
…
After lunch, Xu Qin was assigned a bedroom. She stood at the bedroom window and looked out at the lush community environment with melancholy eyes. She stood at the window for a long time before smiling bitterly and sighing.
When Cai Yanan brought her to this bedroom just now, he told her that she could take a nap.
But Xu Qin was not sleepy at all at this time, even though she had insomnia for half the night last night and did not sleep well.
Turning away from the window, she picked up her mobile phone and opened the door to go out. She was going to go downstairs and walk around the community, just to take a breath and relax.
But after going downstairs, he saw Sun Quan walking towards the outer door, as if he was about to go out. When he heard footsteps on the stairs, he looked back.
Seeing it was her, Sun Quan smiled and asked, "What? Don't you need to take a nap?"
Xu Qin smiled and shook her head.
Sun Quan blinked and suddenly raised his hand to wave to her, "Then you go out with me! Go shopping with me."
"Oh well."
Xu Qin was used to being his assistant and had already developed a conditioned reflex. As soon as he gave his order, she immediately agreed and subconsciously quickened her pace and trotted to him.
When she ran in front of him, she remembered and asked: "Brother Quan, what are you thinking about when you go out at this time? Is there anything missing at home?"
Sun Quan walked out with a smile and said as he walked: "Go to a bigger supermarket and buy some ingredients and seasonings. I promised you Sister Yuan a few days ago that this time I will make her a hot pot that she can eat.
, the ingredients at home are not enough, they are not fresh enough, and the seasonings are not complete enough, so we are going to buy some now."
"Can she eat hot pot?"
Xu Qin didn't understand for a while.
Sun Quan: "Oh, she is pregnant now, can't you see? There are many additives in the hot pot outside, so I don't trust her to eat it, but she wants to eat hot pot again recently, so I might as well cook it for her once!"
Haha, maybe the taste of what I make is not as good as the ones sold outside, but at least I can ensure that I don't add additives to it. For your sister Yuan, and for the sake of the child in her belly, I have to work hard, haha."
Xu Qin understood.
Looking at his back with complicated eyes, I felt something like "all the good cabbage has been eaten by pigs".
Of course, she also knew in her heart that Sun Quan was not a good cabbage, and Yuan Shuiqing was not even a pig.
But she had such a feeling at this time.
…
Sun Quan drove and Xu Qin sat in the passenger seat without a bodyguard.
The two went to a nearby Carrefour supermarket. When they arrived, Sun Quan pushed a trolley and went straight to the fresh meat section.
There are all kinds of meat in the supermarket, and the quality varies. If you don't know how to choose, you may have spent money and the meat you bought at home will not be as delicious as the vegetables.
Fortunately, Sun Quan not only grew up in the countryside and saw a lot of local pork, but he also studied cooking after all.
When I came to the fresh meat section, I scanned the slices of pork twice to distinguish which ones were local pork and which ones were not.
And, which ones are fresh and which ones are not so fresh.
If he had money, what would have changed?
Probably when buying something, you don’t look at the price and don’t make any counter-offers.
When he picked the pork he liked, he asked the salesperson to weigh it for him. He bought one piece of pork and three pork ribs.
He also bought some fresh beef and mutton.
Most people don't buy fresh beef or mutton when making hot pot at home. Most of them will directly buy frozen mutton rolls or beef rolls.
But Sun Quan was making it for his wife, children and others, so he specially bought fresh beef and mutton. He was not afraid of trouble and was confident in his knife skills.
He was confident that when he returned, he would be able to slice the fresh beef and mutton into thin slices with his knife skills.
After studying cooking for several years, he still has this confidence.
Then, he took Xu Qin to buy an old hen, and then bought a bunch of various vegetables and seasonings.
He has his own understanding of making hot pot. He thinks the most important thing about hot pot is the hot pot soup base.
As long as the soup base is fragrant and fresh enough, no matter what kind of meat or vegetable dishes are put into the soup pot and cooked, they will be delicious.
And the tube bones and old hens he bought just now were just to get a sip of good soup back home.
And this is one of the main reasons why he doesn't feel comfortable letting his wife eat hot pot at a hot pot restaurant outside.
Hot pot restaurants are open to the public. They must not only be delicious, but also cheap enough to be competitive enough.
And this means that the soup bases made by hot pot restaurants outside are unlikely to be made from real ingredients.
Because it is high quality and low price, it is a paradox.
I want the soup to be delicious and delicious, but also want the cost to be low enough. How can I have the best of both worlds?
Perhaps only a very small number of word-of-mouth restaurants such as Private Kitchen will use real ingredients to serve hot pot soup base to customers, but in that case, the cost cannot be controlled and the selling price will naturally not be very low.
Xu Qin has long given the cart for serving vegetables to push.
Xu Qin looked a little strange as she watched Sun Quan expertly pick out a bunch of vegetables and put them into the trolley.
Such Sun Quan...
It was really difficult for her to connect him with the name Xianyu Anlaosun. Such a family man was actually a platinum master from Qidian. He also started from scratch and created such a huge family business...
…
Back at the villa in Crescent Lake Villa Park, Xu Qin helped bring the ingredients she bought into the kitchen.
"Brother Quan, can I help you pick vegetables?"
Putting down the last plastic bag of vegetables and seeing that Sun Quan had gone to get an apron to tie around his waist, Xu Qin subconsciously wanted to help.
And Sun Quan, who had long been used to asking her around, responded easily.
"Well, you pick the vegetables you know how to pick first. If you don't know how to pick the other vegetables, I'll teach you later."
"Oh well."
Xu Qin agreed, scanned the stove, found a paring knife, and started peeling the potatoes.
After Sun Quan put on his apron, he found a large pot, took most of the pot of water and put it on the stove to boil. While the water was boiling, he took a bone-cutting knife and cut the three arms with a few casual cuts.
Breaking a thick pig bone is just as easy as breaking a hemp pole.
Xu Qin looked a little confused.
"Brother Quan, are these bones so easy to break?"
The curiosity in her heart at this time has overcome the bitterness in her heart.
"Haha, it's not difficult for those who know it, but it's difficult for those who don't know it. Do you understand?"
Sun Quan didn't give a specific explanation, but just replied with a smile, letting her know that he had a knack.
But he didn't say what the specific trick was.
Xu Qin said something like he understood, and glanced at him from time to time while peeling the potatoes, mainly because he wanted to steal his lesson.
…
Cooking is tedious, and making hot pot is even more so.
Therefore, if you want to develop good cooking skills, you must have extraordinary patience.
The more patient you are, the more willing you are to pay attention to cooking, the more likely you are to really cook well.
After more than an hour, Xu Qin had picked and washed all the vegetables, and Sun Quan was still busy in the kitchen. He really took the trouble.
He even bought two pairs of pork kidneys. When Xu Qin washed her hands and left the kitchen, he was cutting the kidneys on the chopping board.
Cutting kidneys is a technical job that requires not only certain skills, but also enough patience and time. Today, he actually bought two pairs of pork kidneys, and he didn’t know who he wanted to give them as a supplement...
Xu Qin did not go far after leaving the kitchen. She poured herself a glass of boiled water and sat on a dining room chair outside the kitchen door. While waiting for the boiled water to cool down, she stared blankly at Sun Quan working in the kitchen.
Her father can't cook, and neither can her uncle, uncle, or grandpa.
In the family education she received since childhood, cooking was a woman's business, and men who stayed around the kitchen all day were useless.
Since she was a child, she has been accustomed to her grandfather and father drinking tea and smoking in the main room while their mother is busy in the kitchen, waiting for the meal to be served.
Occasionally, her mother would ask her father to take something to the kitchen, but his father would be very impatient. Even if he got up and took something to the kitchen, he would always curse.
Xu Qin, who grew up in such a family, had always believed that cooking was a woman's business, and that men who could cook were of little use.
This is the result of what she has been exposed to since childhood.
So she knew how to cook and started learning from her mother when she was 12 years old.
Until she met Sun Quan.
Especially at this moment, seeing Sun Quan busy in the kitchen, but always smiling and in a happy mood, Xu Qin felt really deeply.
It turns out that... a man who can cook may not be without a future.
"Ding dong"
Her trance was interrupted by the sound of a text message on her mobile phone. It was the mobile phone that Sun Quan had given her to keep. Xu Qin breathed a sigh of relief and took out her mobile phone, only to see that the number on the caller ID looked familiar.
I frowned and looked at it for a few seconds before I remembered that the number belonged to Miao Muxue.
What message did that shameless woman send again?
Soon, Xu Qin saw the content of this text message.
——"Why don't you reply to my message? Have you not considered it yet? Xu Qin! If you don't think about yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. If you don't think about yourself, no one will think about you! If you don't think about it, it's time to break it off, don't hesitate!"
Xu Qin stared at the text message for a while, smiled softly, and looked up at Sun Quan who was busy in the kitchen. She hesitated for a moment, then secretly took a photo of him with her mobile phone, and then directly sent it via MMS.
Send to Miao Muxue.
After sending the photo, Xu Qin thought about it, edited a paragraph and sent it.
——"Are you sure you can give Brother Quan such happiness? Are you confident that he will be happy to cook for you? If not, please let go!"
…
In the rest area of an archery hall in x city, Ontario, Miao Muxue was wiping the sweat on her forehead with a towel and clicked on the text message she had just received.
Seeing the photo that Xu Qin had just sent her, Miao Muxue raised her eyebrows slightly, stared at Sun Quan's back in the photo with interest for a while, chuckled, and whispered to herself: "You are so rich.
He can also cook by himself, haha, not bad! He is indeed the man I like..."
However, when she saw the paragraph Xu Qin sent her in another text message, she frowned, frowned and thought for a moment, then sneered and said to herself: "It's so childish and ridiculous! You asked me such a question,
Are you sick?"
When she was done, her delicate fingers skillfully edited a new text message and sent it.
…
Magic City.
Outside the kitchen, Xu Qin saw Miao Muxue's reply, rolled her eyes slightly, then deleted all the text messages Miao Muxue had just sent, and also added Miao Muxue's number to the blacklist of this phone.
middle.
Because what Miao Muxue just replied was: "Of course! I will definitely make him fall in love with me. After he falls in love with me, he will naturally be willing to do anything for me. You don't have to doubt this."
Maybe for Miao Muxue, she really has such confidence.
But Xu Qin didn't believe even a single punctuation mark in her sentence. She didn't believe that Sun Quan would fall in love with Miao Muxue.
It's not because Miao Muxue is not beautiful enough.
But she knew that Sun Quan only had Yuan Shuiqing in his heart, and she had read every one of Sun Quan's works in the past few years, and every heroine in all of Sun Quan's works was not of Miao Muxue's type.
If Miao Muxue is a girl with pure character, then she believes that Sun Quan might like her, because there are such heroines in Sun Quan's works.
If Miao Muxue is an intellectual woman who is ice-smart but gentle and kind, then she also believes that Sun Quan might fall in love with her, because there are also heroines like that in Sun Quan's works.
If Miao Muxue is a hard-working and simple but beautiful and sexy little widow, then she also believes that Sun Quan might like her, because Sun Quan has also written such heroines in his works.
…
But Miao Muxue is not like any of the heroines in his books.
