Chapter 75: The Mysterious, Frail Girl Knocking on the Door
After sending out the stock from the temperature-controlled cabinet, Jiang Qiuqiu breathed a sigh of relief, rested at home for a while, and then started making Cheung Fun.
Using good molds, she decided to be lazy today and didn’t need to prepare too many appetizers. After preparing the rice slurry and the side dishes, she steamed them, then added the sauce she made earlier.
The combination of the aroma of rice and the rich fragrance of the sauce was incredibly delicious.
Chef Jiang Qiuqiu secretly had a bowl herself and gave her culinary skills a perfect score.
So delicious.
Humming a tune, she continued making Cheung Fun with fresh meat and egg flavor. Suddenly, the doorbell rang, and the robotic butler in the house suddenly spoke: “There’s a visitor!”
“Miss Jiang Qiuqiu, you have a visitor.”
A visitor?
She was slightly puzzled. In this neighborhood, she shouldn’t know anyone, right?
With curiosity, she walked to the door and checked the outdoor monitor.
A girl wearing an ash-gray trench coat, with sharp eyes and a somewhat pale complexion, stood at her door.
She seemed to have something on her mind.
After a moment’s thought, Jiang Qiuqiu opened the door.
“You knocked, is there something you need?”
Opening the door, leaving the cold screen behind, the person in front seemed more alive, although her complexion was still quite pale. However, her eyes were bright, giving off a distinctive aura of a decadent goddess. A unique beauty caught Jiang Qiuqiu’s eyes —
“Are you the new resident here?” Mo Chengyu’s mouth curved up as she spoke, smiling gently and amiably, leaving a favorable impression.
“I am, I just moved in a few days ago.” Just as she was about to ask again what the matter was, she heard the person in front of her exclaim.
As if suddenly realized: “It turns out that the aroma of the food started from the day you moved here.”
“It’s really fragrant.”
“I didn’t want to disturb you, but… I’ve been recuperating here, drinking medicine every day while smelling the aroma, and couldn’t help but come over to take a look.”
So she was attracted by the smell of food!
That also counted as a little fan.
Cooks are always very tolerant of their little fans, and Jiang Qiuqiu was no exception. “So that’s it.”
“Yeah, so do you sell food here? I want to buy some to taste.”
“No need to buy, you also live here, so you’re my neighbor. I was just cooking, if you don’t mind, you can come in and taste it.”
“Really?”
She can’t imagine how cute it is for a girl with a particularly aloof style, as calm as chrysanthemum, to show such a surprised expression, especially when that surprise is for herself.
“Of course.”
Jiang Qiuqiu invited her into her home.
Still cooking, the kitchen is wide open, and the aroma of various ingredients wafted through the not-so-big house, filling the room with fragrance.
Mo Chengyu was intoxicated as soon as she entered.
Jiang Qiuqiu asked her what she wanted to eat, whether it was meat or vegetables.
“I’m fine with anything, I’m not picky!”
Jiang Qiuqiu had donated the relatively bland dishes today, leaving only the fried food that pets couldn’t eat and some braised pork and braised bamboo shoots in the temperature-controlled cabinet.
She brought these dishes to the table one by one and added a freshly made Cheung Fun. “These are all that’s left in the house. If you like, you can try them.”
Then Jiang Qiuqiu noticed that as soon as she finished speaking, in the blink of an eye, the girl in the trench coat appeared at the dining table and picked up the chopsticks.
Jiang Qiuqiu: ?
…What’s going on?
Just as she was pondering how the person moved so quickly, Mo Chengyu had already started eating.
