C91 Food and Beauty

It was already late in the afternoon when they left the Forest Boa Building Materials Company. Xia Lei did not see Shentu Tianyin's Rolls-Royce Phantom Carriage, so he reckoned that she must have left when he signed the contract with Shen-tu's Stone Mountain.

The car slowly drove into the driveway and headed towards the city. Liang Siyao broke the silence and laughed: "Today's luck is really good."

Xia Lei casually said: "Yes, my luck is really good."

Liang Siyao looked straight at Xia Lei, "But I feel that there's something wrong, don't you feel that it's strange?"

Xia Lei knew what she wanted to say, but he didn't want to talk about the story between him and Shentu Tianyin. He changed the topic, "Didn't you want to come to my house to eat? Sweet and sour pork, seafood and the like, let's go to the supermarket to buy vegetables. "

"Aiya, if you didn't say it, I would have forgotten about it. Hurry, hurry. Go to the supermarket, I'm hungry." Liang Siyao's attention shifted towards delicious food. Actually, with her intelligence, she had already guessed that something was up between the two of them when Shentu Tianyin took the initiative to talk to her. Although she was curious, she was not the type of woman to ask until the end.

Xia Lei stepped on the accelerator, and the Great Wall H6 started to sprint.

As he drove, Xia Lei was also thinking about other things. After paying five million and eighty thousand for the Forestry Building Company, plus the one million in land money he had previously paid the Bureau of Lands, all he had left was half a million in cash and a sum of one million in goods that the State Industrial Corporation had yet to pay. Now, every penny had to be saved. However, the funding aspect did not give him too much pressure, because Mayor Hu had once expressed his opinion that it would be difficult to find him. Therefore, once the funds ran out, he could go to Mayor Hu to make a guarantee to get a loan from the bank. If it really didn't work, he could also get an advance payment from the Divine State Industrial Company. In short, once he solved the two major problems of land and construction of a factory, his dream would come true by almost sixty percent. This made him happy.

Returning back to the city area, Xia Lei bought a lot of ingredients from a supermarket near the residential area. He even bought a box of Zhang Yu's Dry Red Spirit, and then brought Liang Siyao, this glutton, and a bunch of ingredients back to the residential area.

After parking the car, Xia Lei and Liang Siyao both carried a few bags of ingredients towards the staircase. A beautiful figure suddenly walked out from the staircase.

Jiang Ruyi was like a tulip blooming in the community's green belt. She was delicate and elegant, attracting people's attention.

"Aiyo, isn't this Lei Zi from our district?" Jiang Ruyi welcomed him with a smile, "Buying such delicious food, who's going to be having a birthday today?"

Xia Lei replied: "No one's birthday, I'm just inviting my senior sister to my house for a meal." He then introduced, "Siyao, this is Jiang Ruyi. Ru Yi, this is my senior sister, Liang Siyao. "

Liang Siyao had actually met Jiang Ruyi long ago. Liang Siyao had even seen Jiang Ruyi's ID before, so she knew that she was the Chief of the police. But she did not have the slightest bit of good impression of Jiang Ruyi, because that night, Jiang Ruyi took the drunk Xia Lei away from her hands and even rudely told her to call a taxi to return. She would not easily forgive Jiang Ruyi for this matter.

When Xia Lei made the introductions, Jiang Ruyi and Liang Siyao did not greet him, nor did they shake hands. They only looked at each other.

Xia Lei said awkwardly: "You two know each other?"

Jiang Ruyi, "I don't know him."

Liang Siyao, "I don't know him."

Xia Lei was too lazy to care about it, he carried the dishes and walked towards the stairs, "I'm going to go cook, you guys can chat anywhere."

Jiang Ruyi suddenly said: "I also want to go to your house to eat dinner."

Xia Lei's head was hurting a little. He braced himself and said, "Fine, go get the red wine from the trunk."

Jiang Ruyi then went to the trunk and carried out the box of Zhang Yu Qian Hong, and even smirked provocatively at Liang Siyao.

Liang Siyao suddenly imitated Jiang Ruyi's tone, "Aiyo, isn't this our Thunder Son? "Numb meat."

Jiang Ruyi was not the least bit embarrassed, "Our district is a big family, we live together, I say, is Lei Zi in the wrong? "What's that got to do with you?"

Liang Siyao said: "I'm her senior sister, I'm worried that she might not be careful when making friends!"

Jiang Ruyi said: "I grew up together with him, if we speak of making friends carelessly, it would also be making friends carelessly now!"

The two women clashed, and for no reason at all.

At this time, Xia Lei stuck his head out from the balcony on the second floor, "Can you guys come up and chat? If I want to cook, what would I do if I don't? "

Only then did Liang Siyao and Jiang Ruyi go upstairs.

The two women went upstairs, went into Xia Lei's room, and quickly locked onto him.

Jiang Ruyi said, "Lei Zi, I'll be your assistant. Right now, many women do not even know how to wash dishes.

Liang Siyao glanced at the messy living room and said: "Lei, your house is so messy, I'll help you clean it up. "Some women talk as if they really know how to cook. They come here to eat and drink. This kind of woman is the true moth of society, right?"

Xia Lei's head powerlessly drooped down.

Xia Lei cooked and cooked. Not even five minutes later, the woman who wanted to be his assistant left to watch a variety show on the sofa in the living room. The woman who helped him tidy up the room also sat on the sofa and watched the same program at that time, laughing out loud from time to time. He suddenly felt that even women were unreliable, and men were the most reliable.

After working busily for an hour, Xia Lei cooked a table of good dishes, such as Sweet and sour pork, Fish eggplant, fried prawns, steamed scallops, and so on. There was a large table full of dishes. Each dish was beautiful in color and fragrance. Just by looking at them, one could tell that they were delicious.

Xia Lei knew how to cook because he was forced out. His mother had left a long time ago and his father had gone missing. He had to take care of his sister's diet, otherwise, he would also know how to cook. However, his culinary skill had improved after the change in his left eye. While cooking, his left eye could observe the slightest changes in the ingredients, so he would always cook the ingredients to the most delicious state. His left eye allowed him to have a unique quality when adding seasonings. The quantity was always just right, while the other chefs could only rely on their experience to release the seasonings, they were simply unable to reach his level of perfection.

Looking at the table full of delicious food, Xia Lei smiled in relief. In his heart, he thought, "If I have time, I should read books on delicious food, with my current abilities, even if I were to switch to cooking, wouldn't I still be able to learn to the best of my abilities?"

Without waiting for Xia Lei to greet them, Jiang Ruyi and Liang Siyao were attracted by the fragrance of the delicious food.

"Wow, so rich!" Jiang Ruyi could not help but gulp down a mouthful of saliva.

Liang Siyao's eyes also lit up, she looked extremely happy, "I never thought that you would be so good at cooking, looks like I will be a frequent guest at your house in the future."

Jiang Ruyi muttered: "So thick-skinned."

Xia Lei opened a bottle of red wine, but remembered that he did not buy a goblet, he could only pour three bowls out. One bowl was for Jiang Ruyi, one bowl for Liang Siyao, and one bowl for himself. He awkwardly said, "I forgot to buy a cup. Let's drink with a bowl."

Liang Siyao laughed and said: "What do you want to drink with a bowl? It will only be good if you drink with it."

Jiang Ruyi impatiently picked up a fried prawn and put it in her mouth. After wolfing it down, she gave Xia Lei a thumbs up, "It's delicious, delicious, even more delicious than what I ate at the seafood restaurant. Later, cook another serving for me, I'll take it home to eat."

Xia Lei, "..."

The deliciousness blocked the two women's mouths. Seeing that they were enjoying the delicacies that he had cooked with relish, Xia Lei felt that it was time for him to learn his culinary skills. The dishes that he knew were all dishes that he could cook in the past. He had never studied any culinary skills before. It was foreseeable that with his current abilities, if he were to specialize in cooking, it would be hard to tell how high his level of skill would be. After all, there was no chef in this world that could see the changes in the ingredients when cooking, nor could they see the fusion of the ingredients and seasonings. Yet, he was able to do these two things.

After finishing the dinner, Jiang Ruyi and Liang Siyao both looked at the television in satisfaction. No one even cleaned up their bowls.

Xia Lei laughed bitterly as he shook his head. He cleaned up the dishes and went back to the kitchen.

Just as he finished washing the tableware, Xia Lei's phone suddenly rang. He took out his phone to look at his phone, and saw that it was actually Qin Xiang's number.

"What's he calling me for at this hour?" Xia Lei was curious, but he still opened the answer button.

"Lei, something happened." Qin Xiang's voice was very anxious, with a hint of panic.

Xia Lei's heart immediately sank, "Don't panic. Tell me, what happened?"

"My store... It's been burned. " Qin Xiang's voice was filled with pain, "I'm guessing Huang Yihu must have found out that you and I are related. He's taking his revenge on me now, he's ? "If he hands me over to the police, I'm done for!"

"Where are you now?"

"Where else could I be?" Qin Xiang laughed bitterly: "I was just outside my hair salon, helplessly watching it burn."

"Don't worry, I'll be right over. We'll talk when we meet." Xia Lei said.

"Alright, I'll wait for you." Qin Xiang hung up the phone.

Xia Lei then walked out of the kitchen, "I have a friend who is in trouble, I need to go take a look."

"What trouble?" Do you need me to go with you? " Liang Siyao said.

Jiang Ruyi also asked, "Do you need my help?"

Xia Lei replied: "No need, it's just a small matter. You guys can do as you wish, I'll be leaving first." Without saying much, Xia Lei rushed out the door.

Qin Xiang's hair salon had been set on fire, so there was a high chance that this matter had occurred. Nine was Huang Yihu's doing. Back then, if not for him finding Qin Xiang and asking his to deal with Huang Yihu together with him, Qin Xiang's hair salon would not have been destroyed. Because of this reason, Xia Lei more or less felt a little guilty in his heart. Even if there was no such thing, if Qin Xiang met with any trouble, he would not hesitate to stand forward, because he was never the type of person to destroy a bridge after crossing it.

Jiang Ruyi and Liang Siyao stood on the balcony on the second floor as they watched Xia Lei driving the Great Wall H6 out of the main entrance of the residential complex. Then, the two women looked at each other.

"What makes him so anxious?" Jiang Ruyi's voice.

"I don't know, but you don't have to worry. My dad's last disciple is very powerful." Liang Siyao said.

"Tsk, do you really think of yourself as a martial arts hero?"

"Am I talking to you?"
