When Xu Siqi returned home, the smell of beef filled his nostrils.
The kitchen was filled with steam.
Gu Linglong was wearing an apron, a mask, and a scarf on her head.
With a spatula in one hand and a pot lid in the other, stir-fry in the pot from time to time.
Obviously, she is cooking.
However, the shape seems too exaggerated.
Hearing the door knock, Gu Linglong said without looking back: "Siqi, try my new dish, stir-fried beef with wild rice..."
Xu Siqi went into the kitchen, opened all the windows, and said, "Open the windows and you won't be so choked."
"Mama Liang specifically asked me to do this before she left. I can't help it. I'm so busy here that I can't even bother to open the window," Gu Linglong said.
Liang Ma is responsible for cooking at Gu Mansion.
Xu Siqi said: "You specifically called Mother Liang here just to let her teach you how to cook?"
"Yes, I studied all afternoon and finally learned it." Gu Linglong turned off the kerosene stove.
"Why do you suddenly want to learn how to cook?"
"If you like to eat Chinese food, you can't buy all three meals out."
"If it doesn't work, please hire a servant..."
"How can that be done? With our status, it will be even more inconvenient if there is an outsider in the family."
"Cooking is very hard and the fumes are huge..."
"It doesn't matter. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, just get used to it and it will be fine."
For a pampered young lady to be able to put aside her stature and endure the smoke and fire in the kitchen to learn how to cook, this is considered a very big sacrifice.
"I haven't learned how to make the staple food yet. I just bought steamed buns and it's time to start the meal." Gu Linglong said in a cheerful tone.
Xu Siqi glanced at it and said, "Linglong, what did you just say you were cooking?"
"Stir-fried beef with wild rice... Oops, I forgot to put in the wild rice." Gu Linglong said with a red face.
On the chopping board, the chopped wild rice remains untouched.
The food was put on the table.
The presentation of the beef is really not that good.
Xu Siqi picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef and put it into his mouth. The expression on his face seemed to freeze for a moment.
"How is it? Does it taste good?" Gu Linglong asked expectantly.
Xu Siqi swallowed the beef, took a sip from the water glass at hand, gave a thumbs up, and praised: "The beef is tender and delicious, very good!"
Gu Linglong said happily: "Really? It's my first time to cook. I don't know anything. The beef is all cut by Liang's mother... I'll try it."
As she spoke, she picked up her chopsticks to pick up the vegetables.
Xu Siqi stopped him quickly and said: "Linglong, if you like Western food, you don't have to accompany me to eat this. Oh, by the way, I have the phone number of Deda Western Food Club. I will call them right away and ask them to send you some dishes. If you like it,
What? Steak, baked snails, borscht?”
"Don't bother, it's good to eat this. Besides, there are only two people in the family, one must adapt to the other..." Gu Linglong said in a low voice.
For a moment, Xu Siqi was speechless.
According to Gu Linglong's wishes, she had no intention of leaving.
The question is, what to do with Qingcheng?
Gu Linglong picked up a piece of beef and pretended to be relaxed and said: "Have a taste of your own craftsmanship..."
Halfway through her words, she got up and ran to the kitchen.
After a while, after rinsing her mouth, Gu Linglong returned to the living room and sat on the chair glumly.
Xu Siqi smiled and said, "What's wrong?"
"too salty."
"Actually, as far as a dish is concerned, the taste is okay, just a little salty."
"Please stop comforting me. Well, it seems that cooking is not an easy task..."
Gu Linglong was somewhat discouraged.
I learned a dish in one afternoon, but I still had a lot of problems.
What can I do next?
Tuk Tuk!
There was a knock on the door outside the house.
Xu Siqi walked over and took a look through the door mirror, feeling quite surprised.
The visitor turned out to be Jiang Bin.
She was also carrying a beautifully packaged snack gift box.
Some time ago, the patrol room and the police station carried out many joint operations, and the two were nominally old acquaintances.
There is nothing wrong with Jiang Bin coming to our house as a guest.
Let Jiang Bin into the house.
Xu Siqi asked: "Why are you here?"
"I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. I'm here today to ask for your help if I need anything." Jiang Bin replied.
Gu Linglong stood up and said, "Hello, Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Bin smiled and said, "Hello, Mrs. Xu."
Gu Linglong blushed and said, "You have recognized the wrong person. I am Gu Linglong."
"Since we are pretending to be husband and wife, we have to get used to being called this way so as not to let anything slip..."
Jiang Bin glanced at the food on the table and said: "This is how you do latent work. No matter what you do, you must try to fit your identity. This kind of real family atmosphere, even if there are outsiders present, there will be no flaws. Xu
Detective, am I right?"
Xu Siqi nodded: "That's right."
Gu Linglong said: "Mr. Jiang, please sit down, I will make tea. I have Maojian and Longjing at home, which one do you drink?"
"Whatever. Please trouble Mrs. Xu."
Jiang Bin bowed and bowed.
Gu Linglong smiled brightly, turned around and entered the kitchen.
After sitting down, Zhou Weilong looked around and said to Xu Siqi: "Is Mrs. Xu feeling better recently?"
Xu Siqi looked sad: "It's still the same."
Zhou Weilong sighed and said: "So, blessings come from misfortunes, and misfortunes come from blessings. Things in the world are unpredictable. Who could have imagined that such a thing would happen..."
"Let's get down to business."
"You are now responsible for the case of massacre in Haitangli, right?"
"right."
"I heard that the case has something to do with a nun from Sophie Cathedral?"
"Yes. However, at present, there is still a lack of evidence..."
Xu Siqi knew that he solemnly reported to Zhou Weilong about Lisa's situation.
"Evidence is not important. The case of massacre in Haitangli is 100% related to the Soviets! That nun Lisa is probably a spy!" Jiang Bin said firmly.
"So sure?"
"Do you know who Li Yuanwu is?"
Xu Siqi shook his head.
Jiang Bin said: "He is also a member of the party."
Xu Siqi said in surprise: "Party Affairs Investigation Department?"
"Yes."
"It's so surprising..."
"The most surprising thing is that Li Yuanwu not only worked for the party headquarters, but was also employed by the Soviet intelligence agency."
"Double agent?"
"That's right."
"Hurry up and tell me what's going on..."
Jiang Bin didn't show off and simply told what happened.
Within the party headquarters, Li Yuanwu is unknown.
He is just a small person.
He was ordered to enter the Shiliupu Post Office and became a latent agent waiting for opportunities to steal information.
At first, he worked diligently and sent back several valuable pieces of information for the party headquarters.
However, people will always compromise with reality.
Li Yuanwu has an elder and a younger one. The eight members of the family spend a lot of money on clothing and food every day.
The salaries at the post office and party headquarters are supposed to allow one to live a relatively decent life.
Who would have thought that the sky would bring unexpected events, and people would have misfortune and good fortune all at once.
Li Yuanwu's father suddenly fell ill.
He lay in the hospital for a full year and finally passed away.
During this period, in order to treat his father's illness, Li Yuanwu borrowed money from everywhere and owed a huge amount of foreign debt.
My father passed away and my mother fell ill again. In addition, my brother was unemployed for a long time at home. It can be said that misfortunes never come singly.
Li Yuanwu was in trouble.
The party headquarters pays monthly salaries, so it is impossible to take care of the additional financial burden on the family.
Just when Li Yuanwu was in a state of despair, the Soviets came to his door.
