Chapter 14:
Xu Qingshu returned to the island soaked wet, so angry that he didn't even want to say a word.
But when Wen Li saw him like this, she kept asking with concern, and even Zhou Suiyu couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
Xu Qingshu now sees Zhou Suiyu as 10,000 dislikes, and he has always liked to express his anger. Now in his mind, Zhou Suiyu and the mermaid are completely bound together. He even thinks that all this is Zhou Suiyu. Come face to face with ghosts.
So he glared back viciously.
Zhou Suiyu looked at him more because he wanted to express his concern, but he was glared back inexplicably, so he simply ignored this person and went directly into the kitchen.
Wen Li had been busy occupying the kitchen before, and she was a girl, so Zhou Suiyu couldn't go in and squeeze with her to avoid suspicion, so he kept waiting outside.
At this moment, Wen Li followed Xu Qingshu into Xu Qingshu's room, and Zhou Suiyu finally found the opportunity to start his lunch with Shen An'an.
Worrying that Shen Anan would be hungry after waiting for a long time, Zhou Suiyu not only speeded up the speed, but also tried to make each dish a little larger, so that he could make two dishes less and save a lot of time.
When Wen Li came over, what he saw was Zhou Suiyu busy in the kitchen.
Cola chicken wings are being cooked in the pot, sausage is being cut on the chopping board, and there is rice that has been washed next to it, it is estimated that it is going to make sausage stewed rice.
In addition, there is a large plate of lamb to be cut next to it.
There are a lot of boys who can cook these days, but it's rare to see someone like Zhou Suiyu who can cook.
So Wen Li stood at the door and watched for a while, and couldn't help but say, "Cooking? Why is it all meat?"
Zhou Suiyu responded with an "um", and his hands kept moving.
It wasn't until Wen Li lifted his foot and walked into the kitchen that he stopped cutting the meat and looked at her quietly: "Are you okay?"
Wen Li was stunned by Zhou Suiyu's question, and then murmured after a while, "...It's okay! I'll just take a look."
Zhou Suiyu's voice was very gentle: "If you have nothing to do, just stay outside, there is heavy oily smoke in the kitchen."
Wen Li's face was a little ugly just now, but her face recovered a little when she heard Zhou Suiyu's words. She just said, how can a boy really be indifferent to a beautiful girl, so don't you start caring about her!
Wen Li pulled out a sweet smile and said in a soft voice, "It's okay, I'm idle anyway, why don't I come and help you?"
Zhou Suiyu looked at her expressionlessly: "I let you out, don't you understand?"
Wen Li bit her lip and looked at him with a very aggrieved expression: "I just..."
Before Wen Li could finish speaking, she heard footsteps behind her. She immediately took back the rest of her words and turned to look behind her: "Brother Qingshu, have you changed your clothes?"
Xu Qingshu has changed into clean and refreshing clothes, and his face is a little bit better at this moment. Seeing Wen Li standing at the door of the kitchen, neither going in nor out, he came over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wen Li smiled: "It's nothing. I saw that your clothes got wet just now. I was afraid that you might catch a cold, so I thought of making some **** tea for you to drive away the cold."
Xu Qingshu didn't expect Wen Li to have such thoughts, and his face immediately softened a bit: "Don't bother. You must be hungry after you've been busy for so long, right? Pack up and let's eat!"
The food on Wenli's side was already ready. Although Xu Qingshu took it to the sea and wasted a few dishes, it was enough for two people.
The kitchen area is small, usually eating outside the kitchen.
There is a simple dining table there.
Xu Qingshu was in charge of serving the meals, while Wen Li helped arrange the tableware.
While taking the food to the table and chopsticks outside, he whispered to Xu Qingshu: "Your colleague, don't you need to call him?"
Xu Qingshu snorted coldly: "Don't worry about him, let's eat ours."
Zhou Suiyu made the dishes, and tidy up the kitchen that was messed up by Wen Li, and then went out to look for the little mermaid in the boat.
Usually as soon as he appears near the reef, the little mermaid will automatically appear before long.
But he waited on the reef for a long time that day, and he didn't wait for the little mermaid to appear.
Was it delayed by something?
Or did something happen to her?
Did he get attacked by a shark again?
…
Zhou Suiyu became more and more worried as he waited.
But he was helpless.
Only at this time did Zhou Suiyu realize that the relationship between him and the Little Mermaid was so fragile. So fragile that as long as the little mermaid doesn't show up, Zhou Suiyu doesn't know where to go to find her.
Thinking of this, Zhou Suiyu's already uneasy heart dropped even more.
That day, Zhou Suiyu waited from 2:00 to 4:00 pm for Shen An'an to appear, and finally had to take the food back to the island intact.
In fact, he originally wanted to wait a little longer, but he thought that Xu Qingshu would definitely take the girl out of the island before it was dark, and it was estimated that a boat would be needed, so he had to go back to the island first.
Sure enough, Xu Qingshu was already waiting by the beach. When he saw him coming, he immediately said angrily: "Why did it take so long? Don't you know I'm going to use the boat today?"
Zhou Suiyu was in a bad mood, so he couldn't help but turned back: "How could I know? Did you tell me?"
Xu Qingshu: "You..."
Zhou Suiyu: "Besides, this is the research ship of the Institute, not for you to chase girls. Can you use less public ships for private use in the future?"
Xu Qingshu was so angry: "It's none of your business! This is the research institute's ship, not yours. Can you control it?"
Zhou Suiyu looked at him coldly: "You better remember your words."
After speaking, Xu Qingshu turned around and left without waiting for Xu Qingshu to react.
Xu Qingshu stared at his back angrily for a while, but in the end he couldn't help but say loudly, "Do you really think of yourself as a young master of mines at home? It's inexplicable!"
Zhou Suiyu returned to the island, reheated the cold food, took two bites, and then returned to his room.
There was a whistle sound in the distance, it was estimated that Xu Qingshu and the others had already set off.
I don't know when I will be back, will I be too late to deliver dinner to the Little Mermaid...
Zhou Suiyu didn't have the heart to do anything else at the moment. He was thinking about why the Little Mermaid didn't come to the appointment at noon. After thinking about it, he involuntarily opened the drawer in the room and took out the copy of "The Little Mermaid" hidden at the very bottom. research report".
Now that more than half of the report has been written, the little mermaid's eating habits and living habits are recorded in detail, including her favorite dishes, favorite colors, how she will react when she is angry, and how she will react when she is happy...
Zhou Suiyu thought that he had recorded quite comprehensively before, but when I look at it today, I feel that the whole article is nonsense and there is no useful information.
For example, he doesn't even know where he should go to find the little mermaid if he never shows up again.
No, you can't sit still like this.
He has to do something to get the little mermaid out!
Zhou Suiyu put the "The Little Mermaid Research Report" back into the drawer and went to the kitchen again.
The supply ship has not come to deliver the supplies in the past two days, so there are not many ingredients left in the kitchen. And these ingredients are less meat and more vegetarian.
Xu Qingshu bought a lot of things today, but Zhou Suiyu naturally wouldn't touch them.
So we can only find a way from the limited ingredients.
The Little Mermaid loves nothing but meat. What should I do to make flowers from these limited ingredients?
Zhou Suiyu stood in the kitchen and pondered for a while, and finally had an idea and decided to make hot pot.
Although Zhou Suiyu always felt that he might get beaten up for such a vegetarian hotpot, but who cares, it was more important to bring the little mermaid up first to make sure she was safe.
There is no ready-made hot pot base on the island, so Zhou Suiyu decided to fry the hot pot base himself.
Generally speaking, if you cook hot pot for small animals, the bottom of the clear soup pot is more than enough. After all, small animals have relatively delicate stomachs, and something too heavy in the bottom of the red soup pot is not suitable for them.
But Zhou Suiyu decided without hesitation to make two bottoms.
A clear soup pot base for the little mermaid to eat.
A red soup pot bottom, used to crave the Little Mermaid to land. After all, there is nothing in the world more delicious than spicy hot pot.
The bottom of the clear soup pot is best stewed with old hens, but the problem is that there are no old hens on the island, so Zhou Suiyu chose to use pork bones to make soup, and then add some barley, lily and red dates. Tomato seasoning.
The bottom of the red soup pot is simple, just stir-fry the fat beef to get the oil, then put in the chili sauce, bean paste, peanut butter, etc.
After the two pot bottoms were ready, Zhou Suiyu went to the beach to set up two earthen stoves, and then started to cook hot pot in the open air.
Shen An'an, who was sleeping, also dreamed that she was eating hot pot at this moment.
On the bottom of the pot with nine grids, one griddles the hairy belly, the other roasts the duck intestines; the fattened beef is hotted, the duck feet are hotted, and the remaining few grids are yellow throat, shrimp slippery, duck gizzard, duck blood and beef balls. Gudu Gudu rolled happily.
Shen Anan rubbed her hands and waited, while waiting while singing the hot pot song she made up: "Sit at the table and wait for the hot pot, eat the hot pot and sing..."
As a result, before the singing ended, all the meat dishes in the pot were gone, and only some old and hot green vegetables were tumbling in the pot.
What about meat?
What about my meat? ? ?
The dream turned into a nightmare in an instant, and Shen Anan got up from the bed in a fit of anger.
Oops
Huh, wait, what does it taste like?
Shen An'an sniffed hard, and she was so excited that she couldn't wait to get a Thomas roundabout kick in place.
—Oh, someone actually eats hot pot on it? Which little cutie is so sweet? Let me have a look!
As Shen Anan thought about it, she quickly swam out of the cave, and then struggled to swim to the sea.
Zhou Suiyu didn't put vegetables on the bottom of the pot, he just set the bottom of the hot pot on the fire, and then stared at the sea for a moment.
Now that Xu Qingshu is not on the island, Zhou Suiyu doesn't have to worry that the mermaid will reveal her tracks when she appears. The only thing he worries about is that the little mermaid won't appear when she smells hot pot.
Then he really didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, he waited less than 10 minutes this time, and the little mermaid emerged from the sea.
The moment he saw the little mermaid, Zhou Suiyu's heart fell back to its original place in an instant - fortunately, the little mermaid is still the little mermaid he is familiar with, and the greedy little mermaid!
Shen Anan's focus was on the hot pot, so she didn't realize how surprised Zhou Suiyu was when she saw her.
It wasn't until Zhou Suiyu suddenly walked over with his feet dripping, and then bent down to carry her out of the shallow sea, Shen Anan turned his eyes from the hot pot back to Zhou Suiyu's face in a dazed look.
Then he asked with his eyes - handsome guy, what's your situation? Why did a good food show suddenly turn into an idol drama?
Zhou Suiyu, who was concentrating on acting in idol dramas, didn't receive Shen An'an's eyes, he just hugged Shen An'an quietly for a while, and then confirmed that the little mermaid in his arms was still here, and the things he was worried about did not appear. , the disordered heartbeat slowly returned to normal.
It was also at this moment that he began to feel embarrassed after realizing it.
Zhou Suiyu wanted to explain that his actions just now were not deliberately taking advantage of Shen An'an, but before he had time to speak, he saw Shen An'an in his arms suddenly fluttering in the direction of the beach.
Zhou Suiyu really knew Shen An'an, and when she looked at the direction of the beach and began to flutter inexplicably, she immediately realized what was wrong with the hot pot.
Sure enough, as soon as he turned his head, he saw that the earth stove of one of the hot pots had collapsed a little, and the hot pot on the stove looked a little shaky.
Zhou Suiyu wondered whether he should laugh or cry. Those people used to say that he was ignorant. They should have come to see the little mermaid. After all, if you look at it, if you are held in the arms of the opposite sex, you can still put your mind on eating. It is estimated that only this little mermaid can do such a sentimental thing.
But even if this little mermaid is so unfeeling, Zhou Suiyu still thinks she is so cute!
Are you helpless?
Zhou Suiyu carried Shen An'an to the edge of the beach before letting her down.
In this position, the rising sea water can just wash up to Shen An'an's fish tail, so as to ensure that Shen An'an will not run out of water for a long time.
After confirming that she was seated, he walked over, refurbished the hot pot's earthen stove, and then began to put meat into the hot pot.
Shen Anan happily sat on the bank and waited to eat hot pot.
It wasn't until Zhou Suiyu came towards her with a plate of hot beef that Shen Anan realized a serious question - what will she eat later?
Before, Shen An'an used to eat with her hands. After all, Zhou Suiyu made her all stir-fry dishes before. Except for being unsightly, using her hands didn't affect anything.
But it is obviously not suitable to eat hot pot with hands.
How hot!
But directly with chopsticks?
Is it too mysterious that mermaids can use chopsticks?
Or use a spoon?
But the scientist didn't seem to prepare the spoon for her.
Just as Shen Anan thought about it, she saw Zhou Suiyu half squatted in front of her, then picked up a chopstick of beef with chopsticks, blew it gently to her lips, and said softly, "The beef is a little hot, I'll feed it. Are you?"
Shen Anan looked at the beef in front of him, and then at Zhou Suiyu in front of him.
She just said, as long as this scientist cooks for her, he will definitely prepare meat for her. The meat at noon today must have been stolen by that scientist.
The hatred of stealing meat is never shared, hmph, next time I see him, I have to beat him again!
Zhou Suiyu fed Shen Anan two plates of meat, then fed her a bowl of bone soup, and finally carefully observed her expression, and said nervously: "There is no more meat, you have eaten it all up. There are vegetables, do you want them?"
Shen Anan blinked at him.
She doesn't mind eating some vegetables when eating hot pot. After all, vegetarian dishes are better than plankton on the seabed! What's more, she didn't have enough to eat at noon.
Zhou Suiyu didn't seem to be particularly resisting, so he cooked some vegetables and potatoes for her.
While cooking the potatoes, Zhou Suiyu couldn't help but recall the last time he was tripped over by the little mermaid with a potato. How could he have imagined that one day he would sit with the little mermaid on the shore of the low twilight coast. Come on, let's eat hot pot!
What an amazing experience.
It seems that since getting to know this little mermaid, his originally peaceful life has become wonderful, like the black and white picture suddenly injected with color, and it becomes vivid everywhere.
After Shen Anan was full, she lay down on the coast and started drying her belly.
This island, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, is inaccessible, so the environment is relatively well protected. Even the sky is blue and clean, which is rare in the city.
As Shen Anan lay like this, she could see that the stars were slowly increasing above her head, and finally they converged into a dazzling river of stars.
Zhou Suiyu sat beside her and raised his head to accompany her to watch the sea of stars.
There is a sea breeze blowing, bringing the summer heat.
Zhou Suiyu usually didn't like summer, he felt hot and noisy, but at this moment, he just felt calm, even the breeze and the moon were beautiful.
Like all feudal parents, the old sea turtle had the same sense of time. It was completely dark before seeing the little mermaid obediently returning to the bottom of the sea, so he couldn't help sending the oarfish to look for it.
When Shen Anan saw the oarfish, she knew that the old turtle was urging her to go back.
Although Zhou Suiyu didn't understand her words, Shen Anan said "goodbye" to Zhou Suiyu with a smile before preparing to go back to the sea.
As a result, before he could get up, his hand was grabbed by the person beside him.
Shen An'an: "..." Hey, just talk when you speak, please don't act casually.
Zhou Suiyu grabbed her hand tightly, stared into Shen An'an's eyes seriously, lowered his voice and slowly said, "Is there any place where I can find you when I want to find you? Or , Is there any way I can see you anytime I want to see you?"
The author has something to say: Shen An'an: "Unless there is hot pot, I will not consider mermaid love."
Zhou Suiyu: "Hotpot, right, it's arranged."
