Chapter 190
Fearing that his mother would be upset about Shang Shaocheng, Cen Qinghe specially poured the wine in the kitchen, and then went directly to the living room with the wine glass.

Chen Boxuan looked up at Cen Qinghe and said, "Sister He, sit down and eat, why are your potato ribs so delicious?"

Cen Qinghe replied with a smile: "That's right, that's all I can do."

Shen Guanren chuckled lightly and said, "You guys probably like to eat stews, right?"

Cen Qinghe nodded, "It's true, especially at my grandma's house, the most compelling way to treat guests is to stew a big pot of pork ribs, roasted potatoes and beans, and at most there are two side dishes on the side, what kind of pickles, cold dishes and the like .”

Chen Boxuan asked: "Do people in Northeast China like potatoes?"

Cen Qinghe responded: "I really like to eat it, especially our family. I heard that every winter we save hundreds of catties of potatoes for the winter."

"A few hundred catties?" Chen Boxuan was speechless.

Cen Qinghe nodded with a smile, "Maybe our family also eats a lot."

Shen Guanren smiled, "I like the people there, especially the girls, it feels very bold."

Cen Qinghe smiled and said nothing.

In fact, she was a little distracted. She talked to Chen Boxuan and Shen Guanren for a long time, and many times in the middle, she thought that Shang Shaocheng would intervene.

For example, when she said that her grandma's family entertained guests with a pot of stewed pork ribs with potatoes, logically speaking, Shang Shaocheng would definitely say: "In the backcountry, even the way of hospitality is different from normal people."

Also, she said that she likes to eat potatoes. With his personality, he would also say, "I haven't seen anything good."

She is used to his viciousness and penetrating, so when talking to others, she will always be wary of him from time to time.But unexpectedly, Shang Shaocheng kept silent all this time, just ate his own food and watched his own TV, and Tong Cheng didn't even pick an eyelid on her.

She inexplicably had a perverted idea, as if Shang Shaocheng was not very happy.

Most people say that the other party is unhappy when they are scolded, but it is the opposite in her case, and she feels strange when she is not scolded.

Shen Guanren also felt it. Since Shang Shaocheng came out of the kitchen, he hasn't said a word.The more normal he looks now, it can only show that he is not normal.

Just now I came out with Chen Boxuan first, thinking to let Shang Shaocheng and Cen Qinghe be alone for a while, why are you so anxious?
There are four people at a table with different thoughts. Even though the food is delicious, some people don't know what to eat.

After a meal, Cen Qinghe picked up the table, and Shen Guanren wanted to help, but Cen Qinghe refused very seriously, "I don't want your help, this is not a job for men, I will do it myself."

Chen Boxuan laughed from the side: "Look at me, Sister He, you are virtuous and virtuous, you are such a good man, what kind of man do you need to be worthy of you?"

Cen Qinghe just smiled and said nothing, but felt a little ashamed in his heart.

Who can't say beautiful words, anyway, the chance to invite them to dinner is probably just this once.In fact, all the men in her family work. Her father, her uncle, and her uncle all know how to cook. On the contrary, the woman is a bit weaker in this aspect. Her ability to cook happens to be inherited from her father.

Put all the plates and bowls on the coffee table into the kitchen, and when Cen Qinghe came back, he brought two large bowls in his hands, one of which contained canned peaches and the other contained canned hawthorns.

Turning around and going back to get another three sets of bowls and spoons, Cen Qinghe looked at them and said, "Haven't you ever eaten iced canned food? This one is very delicious."

Shen Guanren would never embarrass others, so he picked up the bowl and spoon to scoop up the yellow peaches in order to save face.

Chen Boxuan looked at it for a while, and then scooped up a hawthorn with a spoon.

Cen Qinghe watched them eat, and asked eagerly for approval: "How is it? Is it delicious?"

Shen Guanren nodded, "Not bad."

Chen Boxuan chewed a few mouthfuls, frowned slightly, "It's a little sour."

Shen Guanren said: "Try the peach one, it's not sour."

Chen Boxuan went to scoop up yellow peaches again. Seeing that Shang Shaocheng was motionless, Cen Qinghe said bravely, "Director Shang, try it. The canned food tastes like canned food, which is different from fresh fruit."

Shang Shaocheng stared at the TV without squinting, and replied indifferently: "Don't eat."

There was not even a word of ridicule or ridicule, which was what Cen Qinghe had hoped for in the past, but hearing it now, he always felt a little uncomfortable.

She wasn't blind, and his transformation from a poisonous tongue to a mute was not well disguised.

Cen Qinghe was puzzled, why did she provoke him?

Shen Guanren saw that Cen Qinghe was somewhat unable to get off the stage, he smiled and said: "Shaocheng can't eat sour."

Chen Boxuan nodded, "Yes, he doesn't even eat vinegar. Have you ever seen picky eaters and spices?"

Cen Qinghe couldn't hold back, raised the corners of his lips, and smiled.

"Oh, by the way, I have prepared gifts for you."

Hearing that there was a gift, Chen Boxuan immediately stopped watching TV, turned to look at Cen Qinghe, and asked with bright eyes: "What gift? Do you have a share?"

Cen Qinghe smiled and nodded, "I'll give it to you now, but the ugly words come first, even if you don't like it very much, save me some face and don't show disgust on the spot, okay?"

Chen Boxuan said: "Don't worry, we won't feel disgusted when we go out."

Cen Qinghe said: "Okay, then I will take yours first."

She turned her head and walked towards the bedroom. Chen Boxuan touched Shang Shaocheng beside him with his shoulder without fear of death, and said with a smile: "There is a gift, everyone has one, you are not the only one."

Shang Shaocheng didn't even raise his eyelids, let alone change his expression.He just stood up from the sofa, took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, and walked towards the door.

Seeing this, Chen Boxuan whispered to Shen Guanren: "What's the matter?"

Shen Guanren replied softly: "You'd better not mess with him."

When Cen Qinghe came out of the bedroom with a gift for Chen Boxuan, she saw that the middle of the sofa was empty, she raised her eyes slightly, and after walking over, she asked aloud, "Where is Director Shang?"

Shen Guanren said, "I went out to smoke."

"Oh." Cen Qinghe didn't say anything else, but handed a black box about 1.5 meters long and palm width to Chen Boxuan.

When Chen Boxuan saw the box, he almost guessed what it was, took it with a smile, opened it, and found that it was indeed a pool cue.

The billiard cue is all white, with only the obvious black signature on the end of the cue. Chen Boxuan took a closer look...

"O'Sullivan?" He looked at Cen Qinghe in disbelief.

Cen Qinghe smiled and nodded, "This cue was used by O'Sullivan when he came to Night City. Although it was only used once, it was used by the king of the ball after all. I will give it to you. I hope Brother Xuan will use it in the future." If you have God's help in playing, try to beat me as soon as possible."

Chen Boxuan was so moved that he couldn't help holding the cue box with one hand, and made a gesture of wanting to hug Cen Qinghe with the other hand.

This time Cen Qinghe didn't refuse, she stepped forward to give Chen Boxuan a light hug.

Chen Boxuan pretended to be weeping, and said with a sob, "Sister He, you have a heart."

Cen Qinghe said: "You gave me the lucky cat, and I will put it in the company. Whether I can make a fortune in the second half of my life depends entirely on it."

Chen Boxuan nodded affirmatively, "Don't worry, I will become the next generation football king, and you will also become the next generation cat...God of Wealth? Neither is good, anyway, you understand how I feel."

Cen Qinghe also played with him, nodded and replied: "I understand."

After sending off Chen Boxuan, Shen Guanren was the next one.Cen Qinghe was a little nervous, so he said hello in advance, "Brother Ren, I'm going to give you a gift soon, it may have some visual impact, so you have to be mentally prepared."

Shen Guanren smiled and said, "You won't give me a living thing, will you?"

Cen Qinghe shook his head again and again, "No, that's not true."

Chen Boxuan said, "Hurry up, Sister He, I can't wait."

To give Shen Guanren a gift, Chen Boxuan was so anxious.

Cen Qinghe quickly turned back to the bedroom, and when she came out again, she was holding two picture frames in her hands. The front of the picture frame was facing away from others, which whetted her appetite.

Walking in front of Shen Guanren, Cen Qinghe said: "Brother Ren, I really don't know what you like, and I also think I want to give you some sincere gifts. The things are not good, but I tried my best. You can make do with it."

After finishing speaking, she put the picture frame on the sofa. There are two paintings in total. The first one is a bright red peony. There are eight flowers in total, clustered together, graceful and luxurious.Next to it is a small willow font with a four-line brush, and it is written correctly: the peony in front of the court is invincible, the lotus on the pond is pure and unfeeling, only the peony is really beautiful, and the capital is moving when the flowers bloom.

The second painting is a Chinese cabbage with white and green leaves. It looks simple, but in fact, the green leaves are layered and layered. Even the fine lines on it are vividly outlined with watercolors.

Similarly, next to it are two rows of brush characters: there are three constants in the world, and cabbage is the most common; there are three flavors in the world, and the most emotional.

Seeing Shen Guanren staring down at the painting in the frame, Cen Qinghe said embarrassingly: "I only know that your family is in the catering business, and cabbage is also called 'baicai'. It is also the flower of wealth and honor in the world, which symbolizes that prosperity is indistinguishable from a moment, and it means that the hotel business can be prosperous and flourishing."

The more he said it, the more embarrassing he became. Cen Qinghe reached out and wiped the back of his neck, and said with a light smile: "I didn't learn Chinese well when I was in school, and we are all superstitious. Anyway, let's make it auspicious, brother Ren, don't dislike it."

The corners of Shen Guanren's lips curled into a beautiful arc, and he smiled softly: "Why would you dislike it? It's too late to be really happy."

Chen Boxuan asked: "Sister He, did you make this drawing and writing by yourself?"

Cen Qinghe nodded, "I'm not good at drawing, and I'm not a professional. When I was in junior high school, I was in a liberal arts class. The class was full of art students. If I had nothing to do, I followed them to draw and practice. I haven't written for many years. Almost made a typo."

Shen Guanren said: "These two paintings, the peony one I hang in Yedingji, the cabbage one I hang in Qionghai Tower in Yecheng."

When Cen Qinghe heard the words, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she quickly said, "Brother Ren, you don't need to hang out. With my foundation, anyone with a discerning eye will know that I am a layman at a glance, which is embarrassing for you."

Shen Guanren said: "My place is not an art museum, what I eat is the taste of food, and what I see is human touch."

Cen Qinghe was really embarrassed, thinking that Shen Guanren must have seen a lot of artworks, and she was playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong.

The three of them talked for a while, before Shen Guanren reminded, "Shao Cheng is at the door, go and see if he has finished smoking, he can hear us talking, I guess why you didn't give him a gift when you were anxious. "
