Volume 3 Winter Solstice Chapter 18 Meow
Jiang You leaned against the refrigerator, waiting for the water in the pot to boil.
Tang Butian stood by the window in the kitchen.
"When I was a kid, my mom would make bald yellow butter every December. At that time, the crab roe was hard and tasted bad. I liked to add a little bit of it to my rice. The rice at Xiaofangzhai next door is good and authentic."
The water is boiling.
Jiang You put two handfuls of dragon beard noodles in.
Then he found two soup bowls, put two large spoonfuls of butter in each bowl, and added some salt and MSG.
"Your name, body, and experience are not yours."
"You can't say that," the water quickly boiled again. Jiang You turned on the faucet and picked up the pot to scoop some water into it. "I have his memories and the emotions in those memories. I feel like I am him. Crack two more eggs into the pot."
Jiang You turned around, opened the refrigerator and took out two eggs. He then took a spoon and put it in the pot, beat the egg into the spoon, and when it was half solidified, he let it go and beat the second egg.
"Look how well I made this fried egg," Jiang You turned his head and looked at Tang Butian, "It wasn't easy for me either. He left such a mess behind. You hadn't left the mountain six years ago, did you? Do you know who was the head of the special operation department at that time?"
"Know."
"Are you from the mountain too?"
"Yes, Senior Sister Meng."
"Where is she now?"
"Retreat in the mountains."
Jiang You divided the noodles into two soup bowls, put the eggs on the noodles, and then poured the noodle soup on top.
As he took the bowl out, he said, "Bring out two pairs of chopsticks."
Tang Butian took a look at the chopstick box, and four chopsticks jumped out and fell into her hands. She walked out and handed a pair of chopsticks to Jiang You.
"Stir it a little bit," Jiang You took the chopsticks and mixed the noodles, then took a bite, "I cooked this noodle and it's really ready for my debut."
Tang Butian glanced into the yard and saw Jiang Mo squatting beside the flower bed, looking at the seedlings.
Her eyes moved to the painting on the table, colorful and mottled circles.
Jiang You noticed Tang Butian's gaze and said, "You have a good sense of color, right?"
Tang Butian took a mouthful of noodles and then drank a sip of soup.
The noodles are soft and the soup is delicious.
"There is no crab meat in this buttered noodles. It's all crab roe and crab paste. If I sell it in a store, a bowl of this can probably fetch around 70 or 80 yuan. It's really a treat." Jiang You picked the noodles.
Tang Butian took a bite of the poached egg.
"I think the Special Operations Department should present me with a banner or something. The thing he summoned wouldn't do anything good when it came over. So Jiang Mo and I actually prevented a supernatural event that was harmful to society, don't you think?"
"oh."
"It's okay if they're a little stupid, as long as they can be used . Don't be too picky," Jiang You advised Tang Butian, "Most of the time, they just turn into evil spirits, or kill cats and dogs. If you watch them carefully, there won't be any danger. Everything is difficult at the beginning. First recruit someone who's not bad at all, and it will be easier later."
"He wants to investigate his father's death."
"That's really inappropriate."
"If we hire one, will things really be easier later?" Tang Butian asked.
"Yes, it's the same as doing business. After the first business comes in, there will be a second and third business," Jiang You said casually, "So the first business is always profitable, or even with a little profit, and the price will be set more auspiciously, hoping to get a good start."
Tang Butian nodded thoughtfully.
She finished her noodles and drank the soup. After putting down the bowl, she said, "Xueshan Lake Resort, where Jiang Yunxian invited you last time?"
"yes."
"Are they still trying to win you over?"
"No, they won't. As their business grows, they will surely be surrounded by enemies. They can't stop and eliminate the enemies one by one before rushing forward. If they stop, the ship will sink. So, they should show goodwill from time to time, give some benefits, and also test their attitude to see if there is any change."
"Go again."
"I agreed to hibernate," Jiang You finished eating. He stacked two soup bowls together, picked them up and put them in the kitchen sink. He turned on the faucet, "I just rejected her. There are a lot of activities on 123 recently, one hot search every week. Panjin can be said to have made this group popular. With traffic, they can hype concepts, tell stories, get investment, operate, and reap the benefits..."
"Is that so?"
"She said there will be a lot of activities at the resort. Will 123 perform?" Jiang You turned around after washing the dishes. "Will there be a special activity where when I enter the villa, I see them wearing swimsuits and cat ears, sitting by the indoor pool, pretending it's summer?"
"I'm leaving."
"Okay, remember my soil."
"oh."
Tang Butian picked up the wooden sword from the table and walked out. When she came to Jiang Mo, she stopped. Jiang Mo stood up, walked to the camphor tree, pulled off a leaf, put it in his mouth, and then jumped back to the store.
Tang Butian walked out again.
After her figure disappeared, Jiang You squatted down and looked at Jiang Mo at eye level: "Are the leaves delicious? How about I go buy some salad dressing and make you a camphor leaf salad?"
After a few lazy days, Jiang You received a notice from Tang Butian, asking him to go to the office to get some soil and telling him that a new employee had reported in.
Jiang You: Did you recruit someone? Who is it?
Tang Butian didn't reply to him.
The weather is dry and cold.
Jiang You put on his fat black down jacket, took a taxi to the Public Security Bureau, and walked to the door of the Special Operations Department's office. He knocked on the door, but there was no sound. He turned the doorknob, but the door was not locked, so he pushed it open and walked in.
He saw a ginger cat squatting on Sun-woo’s desk.
The man and the cat looked at each other for a while.
There was a basin of cat litter under the innermost window of the office. Next to the cat litter were two large snakeskin bags that looked like the bags that contained spiritual soil.
Jiang You walked to the desk.
He reached out, grabbed the orange cat by the neck, and then picked it up by its front legs.
What a long cat.
The feel is pretty good.
Jiang You changed the cat's position and held it in his arms. He stroked its tail and couldn't help but stroke it again.
"You're here," Sun Yu walked in, "I put your Coke and snacks under that table. I finished my herbal tea yesterday, so I took a can of Coke from you."
"Take whatever you want. I bought it to keep it in the office for everyone to eat." Jiang You glanced under the table. "Where did this cat come from?"
"A man brought it over, along with the two bags of soil and cat litter that I bought this morning."
"Male? Who?"
"It seems to be someone from the mountain. He asked me where Section Chief Tang was. I told him that Section Chief was taking an exam today, and he left." Sun Yu glanced at Jiang You. "I just went to handle the paperwork for it. It is now a formal cat."
"Meow." The orange cat called.
