Shen Lu smiled and said nothing. She was very confident in her craft, but she was not arrogant enough to crush everyone.
The reason why Bai Wanwan said this is probably because of the filter.
"The King of Kitchen Competition will start in a while. Will you sign up?" Bai Lei suddenly said, "You should be able to sign up. Basically, all the big and small restaurants in the imperial capital will participate in this competition."
"No." Shen Lu is not interested in competitions or anything like that. She just wants to keep a low profile and make money by doing tasks and maxing out the store's defense as soon as possible.
It’s better to avoid things that make people stand out.
"Huh? Why?" Bai Lei was ready to support Shen Lu when the time came, to see if he could eat and drink, but he didn't sign up.
Bai Wanwan: "If Xiaolu doesn't go, he won't go. There's no reason why."
"I'm very busy and can't get away." Shen Lu explained.
Just as Bai Wanwan was about to speak, a maid came and knocked on the door, saying that Miss Li's family was here.
“Sister Qin is here?” Bai Wanwan was very surprised and stood up quickly, “I’ll be down right away.”
Bai Wanwan ran into the cloakroom in a hurry, then turned around and pulled Shen Lu with her, "Quickly, let's change clothes and go down."
Shen Lu didn't want to move, "I'm your guest, so I don't have to go down."
“Stop dilly-dallying, hurry up.”
Bai Wanwan insisted, and Shen Lu had no choice but to do as he pleased. The two of them changed their clothes, tidied their hair a little, and the two who had also changed their clothes Bai Lei went downstairs to meet the guests.
When he saw the woman sitting on the sofa, Shen Lu was stunned for a moment.
"Sister Qin, I thought you wouldn't be able to make it." Bai Wanwan held the other person's hand affectionately.
Li Qin smiled and said: "Today is your eighteenth birthday, of course I have to say happy birthday to you personally."
She turned her head and saw Shen Lu, who was two steps behind. .
"You...have I seen you before?"
Bai Wanwan, who was about to introduce her to Li Qin, exclaimed, "This is my friend Shen Lu, do you know Sister Qin? ”
Shen Lu stepped forward, "It turns out to be Researcher Li. I have been to the institute before."
"It's you!" Li Qin remembered, "You are actually Wanwan's friend."
< br>Shen Lu smiled and nodded. Bai Wanwan asked curiously how they got to know each other. Li Qin simply said.
“I’ve never been to a research institute!” Bai Wanwan pouted.
“That’s not a good place.” Li Qin said.
Bai Wanwan: "But I am curious."
The importance of the research institute in the survival base of the Imperial Capital cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences. It is no exaggeration to say that everyone in the Imperial Capital eats, drinks and eats. Yes, food, clothing, housing and transportation are closely related to the institute.
Li Qin only asked for two hours of leave. Excluding the time on the road, she could not spend much time at the Bai family. After all, it was a rare trip and she had to go back to see her parents.
How could Shen Lu waste this opportunity and take the initiative to ask if he could exchange contact information with Li Qin.
Li Qin did not agree immediately, but just smiled lightly.
Shen Lu was not surprised. She and Li Qin had a close relationship, and it was normal for the other party not to exchange contact information with her.
"It's like this. I accidentally planted a pot of spring onions some time ago." Shen Lu clicked on a picture and released the permissions so that everyone could see it. "They sprouted, but they grew very slowly. , I have never planted these before, and I am afraid that there will be problems later. I want to leave my contact information with Researcher Li and ask about it then.”
The picture is of Shen Lu basking in the sun in the yard in the afternoon two days ago. I accidentally took this photo. Under the warm sunshine, a few thin strips of green in the flowerpot looked particularly weak against the earthy yellow background.
The optical brain photo will automatically record the time and location. Li Qin read the footnote and saw that it was a recent photo and the location was Pinjin Street·Xiaolu Food.
“You planted this?” Li Qin asked.
"Yes."
Li Qin did not believe Shen Lu immediately. After all, the time and place could not be changed, but the other party was Bai Wanwan's friend, so the possibility of lying was very small. After careful consideration, she chose to leave her contact information with Shen Lu.
"If you are free in the next two days, you can bring your pot of green onions to the institute to find me."
If it is true or false, she will see with her own eyes Just know.
Shen Lu's inner villain clenched his fists and yelled bingo, and he exchanged optical brain numbers with Li Qin with a very respectful look on his face.
Great, she finally has a legitimate reason to sneak into the research institute!
And it’s not a one-time thing, and you don’t have to be trapped in a research institute.
After sending Li Qin away, Bai Wanwan and Bai Lei looked at her with meaningful eyes.
Shen Lu picked his fingers, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Tell me the truth, did you get this dirt from that supplier?"
Only the soil from the research institute can grow things. Planting bases of all sizes in the imperial capital have to buy soil from the research institute every year to grow vegetables.
The price of soil is very high. Some people have tried to prepare soil by themselves, but all failed.
Seeds are not so evil. After all, biological cloning technology has developed to a certain stage here, and breeding seeds is very mature.
The government also encourages citizens to try planting more, so the price of seeds is quite cheap.
"No, I picked up the soil and flower pots that others didn't want and bought the seeds randomly." Shen Lu said half-truthfully.
“Can’t you tell, you can also grow vegetables?” Bai Lei looked at the person from head to toe, “Shen Lu, how many things do we still don’t know about you?”
Shen Lu spread his hands: "I don't know how to grow. I'm just giving it a try. I'm a restaurant owner. Isn't it normal to want to grow your own vegetables and sell them yourself?"
"I believe you will succeed, especially "Yes, there is help from Sister Qin." Bai Wanwan patted her shoulder, "Sister Qin is very good, she is very knowledgeable in botany."
"Maybe."
"Stop talking, Shen Lu, I'm still not full." Bai Wanwan touched her belly, "After eating something sweet, I want to eat something salty."
Bai Lei: "Listen to what my sister said. , I’m a little hungry too.”
Shen Lu:…
As expected of a brother and sister.
Shen Lu was in a good mood, rolled up her sleeves and went to the kitchen. She saw some small potatoes on the ground, washed them and wiped them dry, and made a large portion of crispy potatoes.
The fragrant and spicy little potatoes came in bite-sized bites, with crispy outer skin and soft inside. Bai Wanwan and Bai Lei rushed to eat them, and even quarreled over the last little potato.
The result is of course Bai Wanwansheng.
Bai Lei said: "Shen Lu, can you make a little more."
A young boy's stomach is like a bottomless pit, and he will eat endlessly if he encounters something that suits his appetite.
Shen Lu yawned, "I'm sleepy."
Bai Lei couldn't force himself.
Early the next morning, when Bai Wanwan was sleeping soundly, Shen Lu had already gotten up.
Father and mother Bai also got up very early and were waiting for breakfast in the living room. They were surprised to see Shen Lu come down.
"Miss Shen got up so early?" Bai Mu asked.
Shen Lu said hello to the two of them, "I have to go back to the store to prepare. Uncle and aunt, I was too annoying last night."
At Bai Mu's insistence, Shen Lu had to take a bag of bread and milk and get into the Bai family's car.
When she returned to Xiaolu Food, Zhao Qian’s vegetable truck also arrived.
