Chapter 56: Bad Taste?
"Jessica, help our new roommate unpack."
Jessica's face darkened. Take me as a good person, right? Why can't you do it yourself?
But she just thought about it. If it had been someone else instead of Richard — and even her old clubs — Jessica would have been out of the way for a long time. But now Jessica only gave him an indignant look, and then began to "enthusiastically" help Gwen carry her luggage.
After moving Gwen's things into her room and cleaning them up briefly, the matter was settled. It was almost time for dinner, and Richard went into the kitchen and began to think about today's recipe, thinking that now that there was one more person with more mouths, dinner would be more substantial.
Gwen, who had packed her things, appeared at the kitchen door and said hesitantly, "...... Mr. Li, are you going to cook dinner? ”
"Huh?" Richard, who was thinking, turned his head, "yes, what's wrong?" If there is anything special you want to eat, you can say. ”
"I feel like I can help." Gwen said, "I'm still a little bit good at cooking......
Richard was immediately impressed by the girl. Then he glanced at Jessica again, intentionally or not.
Look at it, other underage girls can cook, isn't it a shame that you are such a big person and haven't touched a spatula?
Jessica has been eating melons and watching the show in the back, but she didn't expect that she would suddenly turn the fire on her head.
What's wrong with not cooking? If you can't cook, you don't have human rights?
"No need." Richard waved his hand and rejected Gwen's offer.
Gwen thought for a moment and asked, "Well...... I heard Miss Jones say that you still have to pay for food, right? ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it's not so particular." Richard waved his hand magnificently, "This little detail doesn't matter. ”
Anyway, Gwen is still a child, and a little special treatment should be deserved.
Jessica's mouth almost crooked. I don't have a problem paying for food, but why doesn't she have to pay it? Is it because she's better looking than me?
Thinking of this verse, Jessica suddenly realized something. She looked at Richard in amazement, then mysteriously pulled him aside and reminded him in a low voice, "Boss, I was ...... before It's a casual remark. This girl should really be underage. ”
Richard was stunned for a moment, a little unresponsive: "I know, what's wrong with this?" ”
Jessica saw that he didn't care at all, and her face suddenly changed slightly: "Boss, although I don't usually judge other people's personal favors, I have to remind you about this, minors are illegal......"
Richard was stunned.
So Jessica thought that Richard happened to be Gwen's type, so she gave such preferential treatment?
No, listening to her tone, Richard's image in her mind seems to have degenerated into some kind of evil taste and bad heart.
Richard rolled his eyes: "What do you think?" Do you think I'm like that? ”
Jessica looked at it seriously and said seriously: "I haven't observed it carefully before, but now that I hear you say this, it seems to be a bit like ......."
“......”
Okay, jokes aside, in fact, Jessica is still more confident in Richard's character, and she believes that Richard should not be the kind of guy with low-level taste.
Richard returned to the kitchen, opened the fridge and began to check what was left inside. Before you know it, the food reserves in the refrigerator seem to have bottomed out again, and Jessica looks like she has a thin waist and long legs, but when it comes to eating, her combat power is unexpectedly amazing. I don't know if it's because of her special physique or because she paid the money, anyway, her monthly food expenses are definitely enough for her to eat, and she even earns money.
The most annoying thing is that this product doesn't seem to grow meat no matter how much you eat it, and I don't know how many women will envy and hate this talent when it is passed on.
If there are three people, it seems that there will not be enough ingredients left tonight. Richard closed the fridge, thought for a while, and decided to go out and buy some ingredients to replenish the stock.
Gwen sensed his intentions: "Mr. Li, are you going to buy ingredients?" ”
"Don't be so inhibited, just call me Richard." Richard waved his hand, "yes, there's not enough at home." Wait a little and I'll be back soon. ”
"Then why don't I go, you tell me what to buy, I'll move fast." Gwen said.
Jessica's monthly rent was already quite low, and Gwen only had to pay her half of it every month. The little girl herself seemed to feel that she had taken too much advantage, and she would be even more upset if she had eaten white food all day, so she wanted to help as much as she could.
Anyway, she happens to be good at running errands or something.
Richard thought it was more pleasing to the eye. is so sensible at such a young age, and she must be a virtuous and good woman in the future, which is in stark contrast to a strange woman next to her who doesn't pay attention to her image and has a bad temper.
At this time, Jessica had already returned to her room, and suddenly her nose itched, and she sneezed.
Jessica rubbed her nose. I'm afraid that the boss is saying bad things about himself behind his back?
But she thought that she didn't say anything or do anything this time, could she really be shot even if she was lying down?
"No, I'll just go myself." Richard said, "I prefer to pick my own ingredients. ”
"Then I'll go with you." Gwen insisted, "I can learn how you pick, too." ”
Richard had no reason to refuse, so he simply accepted her kindness. So Gwen followed him out the door, one big and one small walking down the street, carrying their own shopping bags, feeling like brother and sister rushing to promote purchases.
Richard came to the butcher shop he frequented to buy meat, and the uncle who sold the meat was also a Chinese man surnamed Wang. As soon as he saw Richard enter the door, he smiled and said, "Xiao Li, what do you want today?" Do you want ribs? ”
Richard waved his hand and said directly in Mandarin, "No." Today, I want to cut ten catties of fine meat into a cheek, and don't see half a bit of fat on it. ”
Uncle Wang was stunned for a moment: "Okay." ”
After he got it, he asked if he needed to bag it, and Richard smiled: "No, if you want ten catties of fat, don't see some fine ones on it, and cut them into cheeks." ”
Uncle Wang squinted. Really, when I have no culture and haven't read Water Margin? Who hasn't read the book or the TV series?
Next, I'm afraid it's time to start the comparison?
However, Master Wang was quite cooperative, and then asked: "Jingzhen Zi can wrap wontons, what is the use of this fat?" ”
"Make meatballs."
"Then do you still want ten catties of gold cartilage later, chop it so that you don't see some meat on it?"
"Clever."
"So what's the use of that?"
Richard said, "I do flesh and bone." ”
