Striving for Science

Chapter 13: Hot Pot

Hanging up the phone, Daonian looked out of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, slowly turning his head to look under his bowed and mopping floor: "Clean up, there are guests."

He heard Yan Yan straighten his body and threw the mop in his hand. The mop fell into the bucket without a little splash of water: "Sir, what kind of specifications do you receive?"

"Human." Tao Nian lazily leaned on the soft slump, adding, "Humans who can remember my name."

"I see." The expressions of his men were cleared. "We will prepare immediately."

Shen Changan had little experience visiting a friend's house and was a little excited for a while. In the past, in order to avoid causing trouble to friends, he would try not to be a guest at a friend's house. Maybe it was because this peaceful city gave him a sense of security, or maybe he does n’t want to be alone now, so after the year invited him to come and eat hot pot, he agreed.

Maybe, maybe not in the year of contact with people, I also hope that someone will eat with them.

I bought a bag of fresh fruits in the fruit shop and bought a bunch of sunflowers in the flower shop next to it. Shen Changan just drove to the door of the community where Daonian was located, and saw Liu Mao and another young man who had never seen him waiting there.

"Mr. Shen." Liu Mao saw him with a very enthusiastic attitude. "Warmly welcome you, please go here."

The fruit in his hand was carried away by the other party, and Shen Changan was a little shocked by the overzealous attitude of the other party: "Mr. Liu, don't be so polite, I can carry this fruit."

"You are a distinguished guest of Mr., how can such rough work allow you to do it." Liu Mao handed the fruit to the young people around him and personally guided Shen Changan.

Entering the community, Shen Changan found that the community is very different. Although it looks similar to other communities from the outside, in fact, the green area is particularly large, and the buildings are almost invisible. The lush trees are neatly arranged, and the rockery pool is embedded in it , Unknown flowers bloom in full bloom and a quiet fragrance.

In this era when one more house can be built and there is absolutely no more grass, the developer of this community can be called "the best developer of conscience".

After Liu Mao didn't know how long he had walked, Shen Changan only felt that there was a blue stone road on the left and a small forest on the right. He was dizzy and came to an antique mansion.

There is no wall around the mansion, and the lush flowers form a natural barrier, which makes this house a little bit more unclear about the charm and mystery of the road.

After looking at the fruit being held in his hand and the small sunflower in his arms, Shen Changan meditated. Was the home gift he brought a bit shabby?

I was thinking that the door of the house was fully open, and a few people warmly came over and surrounded Shen Changan towards the door. In this scene, Shen Changan was a little helpless by everyone's enthusiasm. Suddenly thinking of Journey to the West, when the little monsters drove Tang Seng into the demon cave, it seemed such a lively and cheerful scene.

But when he stepped into the door, all the noise was quiet. Just a few smiles, and the lively few people all stood properly under the door steps, as if they stepped up again, they will be thundered Chopped to death.

"Mr. Daonian, bother." Shen Changan walked into the house and stepped on the soft carpet, giving him a sense of trance stepping on the clouds.

"Changan." Daonian sitting on the sofa raised his head. "Please sit down."

"Thank you." Shen Changan walked a few steps away from him and stood still. "I don't know if Mr. Dao Nian is allergic to pollen. If it is not allergic, I want to use a vase to put these flowers in."

"Good." Daonian glanced upstairs.

Half a minute later, someone upstairs came down, holding a vase with flowers and flowers cut in jade.

Shen Changan didn't understand flower arrangement. She cut the small sunflower and put it in the bottle. She asked cheekily: "Mr. Daoian, where is the vase?"

Daonian pointed to the carved wooden bench by the floor-to-ceiling window.

Putting the vase away, Shen Changan turned his head to see that Dao Nian was staring at himself, thinking he was ugly by his flower arrangement level, and laughed twice, diverging the topic: "Do you usually have so many people in your family to help?"

"No way." Daonian lowered his eyelids, staring at the hot tea on the table in a daze.

Shen Changan was a little embarrassed. He came to be a guest and was so troublesome.

"Hot pot, it's almost done." As soon as Daonian's words fell, someone came to push the table, set the pot, and prepare the saucer. In just a few minutes, the coffee table between the two became a delicate carved wooden table. The copper hot pot on the wooden table is exuding fragrance.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that he was not here to eat hot pot, but came to see "how to eat hot pot elegantly." The side dishes on the table did not know how long it was in the ground, and they looked extraordinarily fresh and delicious. There is an urge to swallow.

The bottom of the pot rolled up, while Shen Changan was cooking for himself while watching Daonian slowly swallowing a chopstick dish from the pot, laughing: "Mr. Daonian, don't you usually eat hot pot?"

"Trouble." Daonian put down his chopsticks and his lips were red, but his eyes were apathetic without emotion.

"So what do you like to eat?" Shen Changan picked up the scalded fat cattle with a spoon, and then used clean chopsticks to grab the bowl in front of Daonian.

Daonian looked at the steaming fat cow and was silent for a few seconds: "Rice."

It's a pity of words, but it's simple and easy to understand. What's more amazing is that in this atmosphere, he didn't feel embarrassed at all. Perhaps it is because there is a very contradictory atmosphere in Dao Nian, who is obviously a person who looks indifferent and alienated, but gives a mysterious sense of tolerance.

The soup base of the hot pot is gurgling with hot bubbles. Shen Changan, who always thought it was boring to eat hot pot, accidentally ate two plates of Maodu, two plates of beef, a plate of duck intestines, and a basket of vegetables. Then, he poured a plate of duck blood into the pot again, and raised his head to see that Daonian was looking at himself, and shyly retracted the chopsticks.

He seems to have eaten more.

"Don't stop." Daonian seemed to know what Shen Changan was thinking, "Like, continue."

Shen Changan smiled a little embarrassedly and poured a plate of golden needle mushrooms into the white pot: "Mr. Dao Nian, are all the ingredients in your house airlifted from a specific place? Why is it so delicious?"

Daoian turned his head slightly and raised his eyelids to see Liu Mao standing in the corner.

"These dishes are all grown by ourselves, and the meat is also raised by us. If Mr. Shen likes them, he will bring them back when he walks away." Liu Mao smiled and said, "The things you make are not worth anything, but there are no additives. There are no pesticides, so you can rest assured. "

Shen Changan hurriedly resigned, and he and Dao Nian were not too close friends. This time he came to eat hot pot, he was already cheeky, and he could not do it by eating and taking this kind of thing.

"Take it." Dao said, "Do not eat, bad."

Shen Changan laughed dryly, and once again opened his innocent face to divert the topic: "Mr. Dao Nian, have you lived here?"

"No." Dao Nian lowered his eyes, as if any topic could not arouse his great interest.

Shen Changan looked at his lower body and wondered if the legs covered by the blanket would start to hurt when it was raining?

"Did Mr. Dao Nian go to a nearby scenic spot to play? I heard from my colleagues that the local customs and residential areas are very interesting." Shen Changan worried that if he stays in this deserted house, Dao Nian will become more and more unloved. Say, "We are looking for a better day, we can go over there and see."

"If you are not interested in these, we can go to other places." Shen Changan thought about it and turned his head to look at Liu Mao. "Mr. Liu, what else is interesting here?"

"Please wait a moment." Liu Mao turned upstairs and took a booklet down a minute later, "Mr. Shen, this is all the tourist attractions in Wuming City, as well as food and dining spots."

After turning it around, Shen Changan smiled and asked, "Mr. Liu's annual salary must be very high."

Liu Mao looked at him blankly.

"Because you are too powerful."

"You have won the prize." Liu Mao took a glance at the corner of the eye and said for a year.

"Well." Daonian seemed to fail to notice Liu Mao's eyes and nodded: "Useful."

"Thank you, sir, I and I will continue to work hard not to disappoint you." Liu Mao's eyes were bright. This kind of look was like a poor person suddenly hitting 20 million, falling into the ecstasy of being hit by a trap.

Shen Changan looked at him, and then at Taonian. As an assistant, he was praised by the employer as useful, and he could be moved to look like this. Is the assistant work so difficult now?

"Go on." Dao Nian's eyebrows moved slightly.

"Okay." Liu Mao didn't hesitate to hear these two words and disappeared outside the gate. The whole room was quiet.

I always feel ... something is not right.

Shen Changan sneaked a peek at the closed door, and then looked at the Dao Nian who was white and transparent: "Mr. Dao Nian, thank you for your hospitality today."

Dao Nian looked at him: "I'm in a good mood?"

Hearing this, Shen Changan froze: "How do you know?"

"Feel." Daonian pointed to the enoki mushroom in the pot, "cooked."

"Thank you." Shen Changan fished the Flammulina velutipes into the bowl. This kind of Flammulina velutipes is different from the usual food. It is not only delicate and tender, but also easy to chew. After entering the esophagus, his body has the illusion of being tonic.

"I just remembered some previous things. I'm sorry, I came here as a guest with emotion, and I was seen by the owner." The steam from the needle mushrooms made his eyes tickle, and he blinked and stopped. The astringency in the eyes, "But after eating so much food, it's all right."

"There are no worries that one meal can't solve. If one meal doesn't work, then two meals." Shen Changan laughed, "So, thank you for your good food."

"You are easily satisfied." Daonian stretched out his white hand, bent over from the fruit bowl, and handed a piece of fruit to Shen Changan. "Very good."

Shen Changan took over the fruit with surprise. This is not an ordinary fruit, but a fruit that people who do not like to talk and communicate with others actively give him.

After eating the fruit and hot pot, Shen Changan accompanied Daonian to sit in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and watch the rain. After a while, he saw Daonian fell asleep on the recliner and got up to say goodbye to Liu Mao.

Seeing him, Liu Mao's attitude was more enthusiastic than ever. Not only did he desperately fill Shen Changan with a bag of vegetables and fruits, he also personally sent him to the car.

"Mr. Shen, you are welcome to come again next time." After finishing, he put away the smile on his face and said to the driver, "Take Mr. Shen back well. This is Mr. Shen's distinguished guest."

Looking at the driver who kept nodding, Shen Changan felt that he was like a poor boy who embraced the thighs of the giants, and was accepting the warm compliments of the giant's butler.

It's embarrassing.

Hee hee.

The author has something to say: Changan: Hee hee, so shy
