When love knocks on the door

"Okay, okay... If you say it's not, then it's not." The old woman looked at Chai Zhuodi a few more times with ulterior motives, and then asked enthusiastically, "Still the old rules? Sansi gnocchi and bean-flavored mochi?"

Luo Weixin turned to look at Chai Zhuodi, and asked with a smile, "Is it okay?"

Chai Zhuodi smiled indifferently, "Of course."

Luo Weixin nodded to the old woman, "Then please trouble my good woman."

After sitting down, Chai Zhuodi took off his coat and put it aside casually, revealing the lavender shirt inside, before asking again, "Sansi gnocchi and bean-flavored mochi... are the specialties of this store?"

"Yes." Luo Weixin tilted her head and explained with a smile, "The so-called three-slice gnocchi is made of flour, cornstarch, soup, shredded pork, Ningbo pickles, shredded pumpkin and other ingredients. Stir, make strips after the water in the pot is boiled, cool for later use, then season the shredded pork, pickles, pumpkin and soup, and finally put it into the made noodles and eat it. As for the bean-flavored mochi …This is a good woman’s specialty, it’s made of soybeans, glutinous rice flour and black sesame, it’s cute to look at, full of aroma when eaten, smooth and delicious.”

"Oh, it sounds delicious." Chai Zhuodi replied with a smile, tapping his index finger slightly on the gray tabletop, and the platinum cufflinks occasionally shone brightly under the pale yellow light.

Luo Weixin took a look at him. In fact, Chai Zhuodi was willing to step into this restaurant was far beyond her expectations, and now this calm demeanor surprised her even more - originally thought that Chai Zhuodi would not do it at all. If she is considering coming here for dinner, then she will be able to say something clearly, but now...

"It seems that you are very familiar with this place?" Chai Zhuodi interrupted her meditation with a question.

"Of course! If I hadn't met a good woman when I was five years old, I guess I don't know where I am now."

"Huh?" Chai Zhuodi looked at her, slightly surprised in his eyes, and asked tightly, "Could it be that you got separated from your family and were rescued by a good woman?"

"Half right and half wrong." She blinked mischievously, "I remember it was a sunny day, and the nanny took me to Hefang Street to buy the straw doll I wanted. At the door of the store, I saw a middle-aged aunt leading a little girl from I walked in front of me, the little girl suddenly asked me to go with her, saying that she had a cat with pink ears, and then I followed curiously, but... After walking for a while, her mother suddenly changed her expression and said I found her father, so I took her to take a taxi away, and I couldn't find the way, and I couldn't find the nanny, so I just walked aimlessly..."

"And then came here?"

"Yes." Luo Weixin nodded, "At that time, there was a good woman's shop. She saw me walking and crying pitifully, so she stopped me, not only cooked me delicious meals, but also gave me a gift. A little cat" paused, and then said, "The police brought my parents to pick me up in the middle of the night, and I was still crying and unwilling to leave."

When the heart on the top of his chest slowly dropped, he asked with a smile, "And then?"

"And then..." Luo Weixin suddenly made a cute grimace, "The good woman promised to come to my house to play, and my parents promised that I could come here to play anytime, so I left."

"Oh, it's like this." Chai Zhuodi couldn't get enough of what he heard,

The two chatted a few more casually, and saw the good woman walking out tremblingly holding a large red lacquered tray. Luo Weixin saw her and was about to step forward to help, but Chai Zhuodi's reaction was faster than her. Standing up and taking two steps forward, he took the tray over.The good woman said cheerfully to Luo Weixin, "Xinxin, your friend is better than that little Lu..."

Luo Weixin faltered and mumbled the past, and suddenly felt a little regretful, why did she faint inexplicably and bring Chai Zhuodi here for dinner?But since it has already happened, it can only be admitted.She picked up the chopsticks and spoon and started to drink pimple soup and eat bean-flavored mochi with her head down. After eating for a while, she felt that her stomach was five or six percent full, so she stopped, wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue, and sighed, "Oh, When I was studying abroad, I dreamed of eating this bean-flavored mochi.”

"Oh? What does it taste like to eat bean-flavored mochi in the dream?" Chai Zhuodi looked at her with a smile. He and Luo Weixin stopped at about the same time, but he ate more than her, and the big bowl and plate in front of him had already been seen. Bottom.

"Cough... I just remember seeing Douxiang Mochi in my dream, and I was woken up by a phone call..." Luo Weixin said regretfully, "During the time abroad, I was thinking about Jiangnan all day long. Food, I regretted it at the time, why didn’t I learn how to cook before going abroad.”

"Oh? Then do you know how to cook now?"

Luo Weixin curled her lips in embarrassment, "Of course it will be a little bit..." Speaking of this, she couldn't help thinking of the embarrassment when she first arrived in Chicago, "At that time, when I first arrived in Chicago, I was not used to everything, and I didn't want to trouble my relatives, so I just I bought quick-frozen dumplings and prepared to make fried dumplings. I just remember that after throwing the quick-frozen dumplings into the oil pan, I forgot to add water and then covered the pot. When the lid was opened according to the instructions on the package, it was already a pot of black charcoal... ..."

Chai Zhuodi glanced at her, with a smile on his lips, and said slowly, "It sounds better than the first time I made noodles."

When Luo Weixin heard it, she became interested: "Oh? How can I call it better?"

Chai Zhuodi didn't answer right away, just laughed, and after a long while, under her frequent questioning, he said, "I remember eating bread in the United States for a few months, I couldn't help it, so I decided to try making fried noodles myself. He glanced at Luo Weixin and said slowly, "I heated up the pot, added oil, grabbed a handful of dry noodles, and threw them in."

Luo Weixin was speechless, nodding with a hard smile and giving a two-word comment, "You are awesome." Even if she had never been in a kitchen before going abroad, at least she knew that cooking noodles should be soaked in water first, after thinking about it Thinking about it, Luo Weixin felt a little curious, and couldn't help asking, "Then how did it end?"

The corners of Chai Zhuodi's mouth twitched lightly, "It was fortunate that Beitang Mo came to me to borrow things, so I finally didn't burn the kitchen down."

Luo Weixin nodded in agreement, "Hey, you are indeed very lucky."

After eating, Luo Weixin secretly stuffed all the cash on her body into the drawer when the good woman was not paying attention, and the two walked out. It was already midnight, and neon lights could be vaguely seen flickering in the distance.Luo Weixin walked a few steps, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, turned around and looked over, only to find that Chai Zhuodi stopped, did not follow, but stood under a street light not far away, with one hand in his trouser pocket and the other hooking his suit coat, staring at her steadily.
