Chapter 119: The top student’s little Desktop Pet 13 (part 2 of 2)
The great top student, who is omniscient from astronomy to geography, has a major flaw of being incapable of cooking, he couldn’t even make the simplest congee recipe. Gu Qiange, who had only thought of tricking his lover to go home with him, had thrown this matter at the back of his mind. He then gave an awkward cough: “I had previously told the aunt in-charge of cooking that I was going to eat at the inst.i.tute today, so I didn’t let her come over. I’ll immediately give her a call……”
Shen Tong slightly frowned, then stepped forward and stopped Gu Qiange from making the call, “There’s no need to bother the aunt in such a cold weather like this. I’ll make it.”
Gu Qiange, who had never thought that Shen Tong could cook, couldn’t help but be stunned, “You can?”
Shen Tong had maxed out his cooking skills in the little peach blossom’s world. Making a hot pot would naturally be a cinch. So, he immediately rolled his sleeves up, “What? You don’t believe me?”
Gu Qiange naturally doesn’t believe him deep inside, but he still nodded earnestly, “How could I not believe? My family’s baby is the best.”
“Humph.” Shen Tong saw through his thoughts, but didn’t pierce it, he only tossed all the green leafy vegetables to him, “Go wash the vegetables.”
They had bought the ready-made spicy soup base, but Shen Tong still used the pressure cooker to make a huge bone soup. The pressure cooker was relatively fast, so, only 10 minutes has pa.s.sed for it to be stewed well. Under Gu Qiange’s amazed gaze, Shen Tong proficiently washed, sliced and set aside the various ingredients, in addition to placing jujube and wolfberry in the soup. The strong aroma of the huge bone soup soon wafted in the air. He then heated the oil in another pot, then added in the scallions, garlic, ginger, black beans, and the supermarket’s spicy soup base. Sauteed it in low fire for half a minute, then poured in the newly cooked glistening huge bone soup and boil them together.
The kitchen area wasn’t small, but was s.p.a.cious and clean with bright lights. The youth’s slender figure standing in front of the cupboard, with his head lowered in a serious manner, while arranging the vegetables that had been washed and sliced on the plate, was such a calm and picturesque scene. When the soup base of the hot pot had been completed, the whole kitchen was filled with an authentic spicy hot pot flavor, which made Gu Qiange feel an incessant rumbling in his stomach.
The dining table was the kind with a hidden built-in induction cooker. The soup base had been quickly transferred to the dining table. The next steps were even simpler. The green leafy vegetables were already prepared, the beef and mutton as well as the various kind of meatb.a.l.l.s were ready-made, even the potato slices, bamboo shoots, and other stuff cut in the supermarket, can be eaten with the prepared dips.
Shen Tong made two kinds of dipping sauce, one is peanut b.u.t.ter sprinkled with seafood sauce and sesame seeds, the other is garlic paste with chili oil and sweet and sour sauce. He also sliced a small bowl of onion separately to add in his own discretion. This hot pot was truly very delicious, coupled with the delight of eating something personally made by his lover, Gu Qiange only felt that the food in his mouth was so praiseworthy that he almost swallowed his tongue. The taste seemed to have the taste of home which he had clearly never tasted before.
The ‘taste of home’ was really very nostalgic, it wasn’t because it was bursting with deliciousness, but because it makes people recall that warm feeling. This dish can be considered a success if the food can bring out feelings from the consumer. But in order to bring out the feelings from consumer, the cook must also offer genuine and sincere feelings in order to make the consumers feel such feelings.
They eventually fished out the dishes cleanly, even the beansprouts weren’t let off. Especially Gu Qiange, who was unwilling to waste even a bit because this was made by his sweetheart, he even wanted to completely drink up the soup base as well. They felt nothing while eating, but the two successively felt so stuffed after having finished, that they didn’t even touched the washed fruits.
Gu Qiange got up and tidied the dining table. The pot and bowls were placed in the kitchen sink, and were left to be washed by the hourly-waged worker who would come tomorrow. Shen Tong settled in the sofa and rubbed his bulging little belly, and couldn’t resist nodding off in the midst of rubbing.
As his consciousness started to slip away, his head also drooped a wee bit, and looked just like a tiny curled shrimp. Gu Qiange saw his cute sleepy look when he came out from the kitchen, and couldn’t help but reveal a slight smile. He stepped forward, and was about to take him to bed.
But a white light similar to last time suddenly flashed at this moment, the youth on the sofa instantly disappeared without a trace. Gu Qiange, who had obviously experienced this kind of thing, couldn’t refrain from feeling fl.u.s.tered just like before. After a brief pause, he quickly took out his mobile phone and unlocked it, then the sleeping little person calmly lying on the bed was immediately revealed.
Shen Tong slightly sobered up a bit due to the change of environment. He rubbed against the soft bed, and fluffed it twice, then rubbed his eyes as he strove to sit up, “What time is it? I still need to go home……”
“It’s already half past eight.”
This time was still permissible, Shen Tong was just a young boy in the end. His parents wouldn’t normally worry so long as he returns home before 10 o’clock, but Kong Baiji would be ill at ease and would frequently make a call of inquiry in advance.
Speak of the devil and he shall appear. The great older brother’s call had come about.
Because Shen Tong hadn’t brought his mobile phone when he left, Kong Baiji then called Gu Qiange to ask where Tong Tong was, in order to bring his little baby brother home.
But Shen Tong found himself in a pinch.
Maybe because he had consumed too much of his energy today, his mind felt sluggish and lethargic. After several failed attempts to get out from the mobile phone, he could only look for an excuse to tell his older brother in order to let him stay here with Gu Qiange in the end.
Gu Qiange got his wish, but Kong Baiji felt very unbearable. Putting aside the abduction of his younger brother, not only did he stay out for the whole night on the first day, but this kind of thing might also happen again in the long run. Father Shen and mother Shen were very glad to see this happen. Because the scientists were always dignified and decent, they also found very high-sounding excuses. Making Gu Qiange’s image more perfect and glorious.
But were totally unaware of what that person, they believed as decent, was doing at this moment.
After the update of the Desktop Pet’s system, not only was there a bed, table and chair added, there were also a variety of clothing and accessories, which not only had a full range of categories, but also included everyday clothes, lounge wears, small Western-styled clothes for dinner parties, in addition to nighties and swimsuits. However, Gu Qiange’s gaze was fixed at that very distinctive pair of small underwear and couldn’t move away.
