I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life
Chapter 224 Making Pot"Yi Yi, wake up." Half an hour had passed, and Shen Xiao stood beside the bed and called Xu Congyi softly.
"Hmm?" Xu Congyi responded softly, with a hint of sleepiness in her voice. She opened her eyes, and the scene in front of her gradually became clear - Shen Xiao was standing by the bed, the morning light outlined his soft figure, his eyes full of tenderness and doting. She was a little dazed for a moment, forgetting where she was at the moment, and only felt that this peace and warmth was particularly familiar and precious.
"Yi Yi, get up. Let me call you in half an hour." Seeing that she finally responded, Shen Xiao reached out and gently patted Xu Congyi's shoulder.
Xu Congyi finally woke up as if from a dream, and shook her head, trying to dispel the sleepiness in her mind. She sat up, and the coat of Shen Xiao covering her gently slipped off and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Shen Xiao quickly bent down to pick up his clothes and put them on the back of the chair, and handed Xu Congyi a cup of warm water to wake her up. Xu Congyi took the cup of water and drank it all, which also made her completely sober. She put on her shoes, stood up, stretched, and sighed, "I slept so comfortably!" Her words were full of satisfaction and comfort.
When Shen Xiao and Xu Congyi arrived at Tang's Pastry, they found that Tang Wenhao, who was supposed to be upstairs, was already waiting at the door. Seeing the two of them coming, he happily went to greet them. Shen Xiao couldn't help but joked with his enthusiastic look, "Hey, Wenhao, why did you change your personality today? Standing at the door so early in the morning, did you change your job to be a receptionist?"
Hearing this, Tang Wenhao laughed, "Oh, isn't it because there is an important event today? I've been waiting here early just to show my sincerity and importance. Come, let me, the 'waiter', personally lead the way for the two distinguished guests." As he said this, he actually stretched out an arm in a proper manner and made a gesture of invitation, which made Xu Congyi and Shen Xiao couldn't help laughing.
The three of them went up to the second floor. Tang Xiaowu brought a pot of tea and then closed the door and left. Shen Xiao took off the backpack behind him - the backpack contained the sauces and pickles that Xu Congyi had taken out from the space in advance. Shen Xiao placed two porcelain jars on Tang Wenhao's desk. Seeing Tang Wenhao's confusion, Xu Congyi explained, "Brother Wenhao, one of these two jars contains the sauce I made, which can be made directly in a while, and the other is the pickles I pickled before, which will be used for stewing."
Tang Wenhao couldn't help but step forward and open the lid of the can. In an instant, a rich and complex aroma hit his nose. It was the product of the perfect fusion of various spices and ingredients. It had the heat of chili, the mellowness of soy sauce, and a hint of imperceptible sweetness, which made people's appetite increase as soon as they smelled it.
"It smells so good!" Tang Wenhao couldn't help but exclaim in praise. He knew the importance of this sauce to the dishes. The aroma of this sauce alone was enough to make his restaurant business boom. The pickle jar on the other side was even more familiar to Tang Wenhao. The last time he tasted it, the sour and spicy taste still made him linger. It was used to cook with other dishes to relieve greasiness and stimulate appetite.
The three of them chatted for a while, and the topic was still opening a restaurant. Not long after, Xu Congyi went downstairs to the kitchen to prepare to cook. Tang Wenhao just told her that three places had been selected to open restaurants, so she had to eat early at noon today so that she would have time to go and take a look.
Xu Congyi deliberately did not ask Shen Xiao and Tang Wenhao to go to the kitchen with her, mainly because Xu Congyi forgot to take out the chicken nuggets in advance and she had to go into the space to get them, so she asked Shen Xiao and Tang Wenhao to stay together so that she would not be discovered when she entered the space.
However, plans cannot keep up with changes. Tang Wenhao was careful and thoughtful. He had already asked Tang Xiaowu to stand by Xu Congyi and be ready to assist Xu Congyi at any time. Faced with this sudden "little tail", Xu Congyi had to quickly adjust his strategy. She smiled and said to Tang Xiaowu: "Xiaowu, you see, I am busy preparing ingredients, but suddenly I thought of fresh ribs and shrimps in the market. Can you help me run a trip to see how the situation is? Remember, don't buy too much."
When Tang Xiaowu heard this, he immediately understood Xu Congyi's intention. He readily agreed, accepted the task with joy, and went out happily. Looking at Tang Xiaowu's back as he walked away, Xu Congyi finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly entered his own space.
The chicken nuggets in the space were enough for five chickens, filling up a large bowl. But Xu Congyi thought that if she added ribs and shrimp, the chicken nuggets would be a bit excessive. So she separated some of the chicken nuggets and put them back into the space.
Although he said he didn't need to buy too much, Tang Xiaowu might have been influenced by Tang Wenhao because he was with him, so he bought a lot of things. Xu Congyi thought about it and realized that he had brought enough sauces, so he just made them all at once. There were only two pots in the kitchen, so Xu Congyi made two portions, one was a chicken and pork ribs pot, and the other was a chicken and shrimp pot.
