above the point of the knife

Chapter 64 Fable
"Boss Qiao, do you have any new books?" Zhou Sen asked with a smile. He still liked the atmosphere of this bookstore.

Tranquil, full of the breath of books.

"Yes..." Qiao Sanlang hesitated for a moment, but still answered.

"That's good, Boss Qiao, you're busy, I'll go and see by myself." Zhou Sen likes to choose books by himself, so that he can completely obey his heart.

Zhou Sen's reading now depends entirely on his mood. In fact, he really can't read some books. It's not that he doesn't want to read, but that he can't calm down now.

If you can't calm down, some books will be harmful instead of beneficial, so it's better not to read them.

Therefore, he would rather choose some story books, even some "healthy" books.

In his opinion, reading these "healthy" books is a very good way to regulate physical health.

"Russian Fables"

How could there be such a book here? Zhou Sen was a little surprised, and he pulled it out without any hassle. It was actually a Russian book.

This should be an enlightenment storybook for children.

There are a lot of Belarusians living in Ice City. There is still a market for such storybooks. Generally, Belarusian families with children will buy one and keep it at home.

Zhou Sen flipped through the pages with great interest. Some stories he had heard from his father Anthony since he was a child, while others had not.

After all, Papa Anthony is not a qualified storyteller either.

"Officer Zhou, is it really you?" Suddenly, a joyful voice entered his ears, and when Zhou Sen raised his head, it turned out to be an acquaintance.

Su Yun, Su Wenqing's daughter.

He hadn't seen Su Yun since the wallet incident last time, and he had long forgotten about this young lady.

"Miss Su, what's the matter?"

"Officer Zhou, I always wanted to thank you for the wallet last time, but I never had the chance..." Su Yun said shyly.

"Oh, that's just a trivial matter, not to mention serving the citizens, it's also our duty as a policeman." Zhou Sen closed the "Russian Fables" and said.

"This has a different meaning to me. I have my most precious things in my wallet. If I lose it, I can never get it back." Su Yun said.

"Really, that's a good thing." Zhou Sen smiled politely. Su Yun is very beautiful, but they are not the same way.

"Officer Zhou, can I buy you a cup of coffee?" Su Yun invited.

"This, isn't it appropriate..."

"Does Officer Zhou hate Su Yun?"

"No, no, Miss Su, I'm afraid that if your father finds out, there will be a misunderstanding." Zhou Sen quickly found an excuse.

This is not an excuse, Su Wenqing must know himself, he would like to see his daughter have an intersection, Su Yun looks very innocent, he really can't bear to involve her.

Bai Yulan probably had the same idea, otherwise she would have attacked Su Yun long ago.

"Miss Su, today's New Year's Eve, I still have a lot of things to do, so I won't disturb your book selection." Zhou Sen said, turned around and left.

"Officer Zhou..." Su Yun was stunned for a while, was he a scourge, why did he hide when he saw him?

"Boss Joe, how much is this book?"

"Oh, this book is not expensive. Officer Zhou, you can just give it [-] cents." Qiao Sanlang chuckled. It was quite strange that Zhou Sen chose a book for children, but he didn't dare to ask more.

Zhou Sen paid the money and left the bookstore with the book in his arms.

Afterwards, he got on a tram. His main purpose today was to go to the Ningxiang Pavilion. He didn't show up for so many days. Why should he report his safety?
"Miss, why did you sneak out again, making it hard for us to find..." As soon as Zhou Sen left, a car stopped in front of "Yiguzhai". Su Xing got out of the car and ran into the bookstore. Su Yun who came out from inside.

"Uncle Xing, have you seen Police Officer Zhou?"

"Officer Zhou, which Police Officer Zhou?" Su Xing was taken aback, unable to react.

"It's the police officer Zhou who found my wallet." Su Yun ran to the middle of the street in a panic, looking around.

It was only then that Su Xing realized who Su Yun was talking about. This name cannot be mentioned in front of the master now, because this person has caused Su Wenqing a headache for several days.

"Miss, Zhou Sen is not a good person. You must never associate with this kind of person in the future." Su Xing warned, he didn't know that Zhou Sen had already registered with the master, and this little policeman actually He hooked up with Bai Yulan, if it wasn't for the fierce fight with Qin Laoqi now, and he didn't want to make another enemy, Zhou Sen would be a policeman no matter what, and he would have to bear the consequences if he did anything to the policeman, not to mention that this little policeman seemed to be behind the scenes. With the support of the Japanese, it is even more difficult to act rashly.

"What did Police Officer Zhou do? Why do you think Uncle Xing is not a good person?" Su Yun asked curiously.

Su Xing was suddenly asked, can he tell Su Yun what he knows about Zhou Sen?Obviously not.

Could it be that this little policeman, Zhou Sen, is the concubine of the woman your father wants to marry back home?That's not a mess.

……

Zhou Sen got off the car at Zhengyang Street, and the Ningxiang Restaurant was not far away, anyway, it was only a few steps away, and it was almost time to eat.

At the same time, along the way, he also noticed that no one should be following him, and the familiar smell did not appear.

I don't know whether to give up or change.

At least, he hasn't found any suspicious person following him. Since he was kidnapped once, he should be more vigilant, right?
You can't eat a pit, if you don't gain wisdom, then you are too useless.

"Brother Sen." Without keeping Zhou Sen waiting for too long, Ah Xiang came over and opened the back door for him.

"Surprise?"

"Brother Sen, you're finally here. Sister Lan has a bad appetite these days and can't eat." Ah Xiang was naturally overjoyed to see Zhou Sen.

"It can't be so fast?" Zhou Sen exaggeratedly surprised.

"Brother Sen, what are you thinking, Sister Lan's stomach is not very good, sometimes it's like that." A Xiang blushed.

This is in the land of wind and moon, although Ah Xiang is not very old, but under the influence of her ears and eyes, she already knows much more than her peers.

"Then I have to make some appetizers for her."

"She's tired of all the dishes I cook..."

"You can't, it doesn't mean I can't, let's go, Brother Sen will show you my cooking skills." Zhou Sen chuckled.

"Brother Sen, can you still cook?"

"Of course, apart from having children, there's nothing your Brother Sen can't do." Zhou Sen said, anyway, bragging doesn't pay taxes.

"boast!"

Ah Xiang's small kitchen is neat and tidy, which is pleasing to the eye at first glance, so cooking a meal here can also make people feel happy and perform supernormally.

If there is fish, then make a squirrel mandarin fish.

Chicken diced, frozen shrimp, carrots... let's fry chicken with shrimp.

Cabbage, a classic dish for state banquets, boiled cabbage.

I ate leftover rice yesterday, simple, Yangzhou fried rice is ready.

One more soup.

Longan, red dates and yam soup nourishes the stomach and nourishes qi and blood. It is most suitable for women to drink.Three dishes and one soup work together.

Zhou Sen glanced at the ingredients in the kitchen, and quickly chose a few home-cooked dishes in his mind that he was good at.

"Ah Xiang, you stew this soup for me first, and then help me with it. Today, Brother Sen will show you a hand." Zhou Sen tied the apron directly.

Cooking is one of the necessary skills for otaku life in the 21st century, if you don't want to eat the unhealthy food with heavy oil and salt outside.

Scale removal, viscera removal, knife modification... All done in one go, Ah Xiang, who was watching Zhou Sen cutting the ingredients, almost cut off his finger.

She couldn't handle this fish in less than an hour, but under Zhou Sen's hands, it was completed in less than 10 minutes.

This efficiency, this knife skills, made Ah Xiang, a little cook whose main position is in the kitchen, feel inferior.

"Want to learn?"

"Hmm..." Ah Xiang nodded repeatedly.

"As long as you turn around and say good things to Brother Sen, these are not problems." Zhou Sen chuckled, Bai Yulan's side hurts the most, and the one she trusts the most is the little girl Axiang. After she is dealt with, there will be no news. lack?

"Really?" Ah Xiang tilted her mouth, revealing a sly smile.

"Of course." Zhou Sen had already started frying fish.

The sweet and sour sauce is poured on it, and a sweet and sour squirrel mandarin fish is ready, put it on the side of the pot to keep warm.

Zhou Sen went on to make the second dish, stir-fried diced chicken with prawns. This dish requires the diced shrimp and diced chicken to be oiled, and then stir-fried in a wok, with a slight thickness, and then quickly out of the pan.

Boiled cabbage, this dish looks simple, but it is the most test of the chef's ability. Of course, Zhou Sen's ability cannot be compared with that of the state banquet chef. It can only be made with ready-made broth, which is a home-cooked version.

The last dish is Yangzhou Fried Rice. This Zhou Sen is the best, because he cooks the most and eats the most.

As for the practice, it varies from person to person and from person to person, and there is no fixed one.

It took an hour and a half, and the three dishes and one soup were ready.

"Okay, you can take it over." Zhou Sen wiped his hands in satisfaction, took off his apron, and ordered.

Ah Xiang smelled the fragrance, her mouth was already drooling.

Bai Yulan didn't have an appetite, so naturally she didn't urge Ah Xiang to eat, she just lay lazily on the sofa, and the phonograph was playing Boss Mei's Beijing opera "The Drunken Concubine".

"Sister Lan, it's time to eat." Ah Xiang first brought in the squirrel and mandarin fish, and called out to Magnolia.

Bai Yulan vaguely agreed, without any movement, let alone getting up.

"Sister Lan..."

"Ah."

"Sister Lan?"

"Here we come..." Bai Yulan finally couldn't resist Ah Xiang's urging, got up, walked over, turned off the gramophone, and walked towards the restaurant.

"Ah Xiang, Ah Xiang..." Seeing the squirrel mandarin fish and fried chicken with shrimps on the table, Bai Yulan was slightly surprised. She had never seen Ah Xiang cook these two dishes before.

Could it be that this girl bought it from a restaurant outside?

With a hint of doubt, Bai Yulan sat down, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish and put it into her mouth. The sweet and sour taste immediately stimulated the taste buds on the tip of her tongue and passed to her mind.

It's so delicious, it's definitely not made by any restaurant, the chefs of the nearby restaurants don't have this skill, and they don't have this taste.

Could it be that girl Ah Xiang did it herself?

At this moment, Ah Xiang came in holding a large bowl of fragrant Yangzhou fried rice. The steam from the rice was enough to show that it was definitely not bought from outside.

If this is bought, no matter how good the insulated box is, when it is brought over, the food will be lukewarm at best.

And the bite of fish she just had was obviously burning her mouth.

"Ah Xiang, what the hell are you doing? Who cooked the food for lunch today?" Bai Yulan asked with her phoenix eyes slightly staring.

"Sister Lan, how is it? Is it delicious?" A Xiang asked as if offering a treasure.

"Don't interrupt, tell me, who made the food, this is definitely not your skill." Bai Yulan asked.

"Sister Lan, guess what?"

"Could it be him?" Bai Yulan frowned slightly, and a person popped up in her mind.

"Sister Lan, you two really have a good understanding. These three dishes and this fried rice are all made by Brother Sen." Ah Xiang laughed.

"It's really him?" Bai Yulan was also quite surprised. How could he be a rich and dissolute son who could cook such good dishes?

This standard is not bad even for Hou Defu's kitchen.

"Ah Xiang, you talk too fast, don't leave any suspense, let Brother Sen behave well, and I won't teach you how to cook!" Zhou Sen came in with a bowl of soup.

"Come on, try this longan, red dates and yam soup. It nourishes the stomach and nourishes it. It's just right for you."
