Chapter 240 Why is he here
Xu Bo'an never expected that his top-quality Dahongpao, which he kept going around, would actually fall into Liu Wei's hands.
After a busy day at the company, Xu Boan couldn't refuse to have a dinner with him after get off work. It was getting late, and Xu Boan returned to the villa in the Central Courtyard.
Seeing Chen Pingping opening the door, Xu Bo'an was quite surprised and said with a smile: "You're still there!"
Xu Bo'an originally had a dinner party in the evening, and he told Chen Pingping that no need. Dinner is ready and you can leave early.
Chen Pingping smiled and helped Xu Boan change his shoes, and said softly: "There is nothing to do when we go back anyway, so I'll wait for you here. I made some ginger chicken soup. I heard my aunt said that this kind of soup can sober up the hangover. The effect is not bad, you can try it later."
Xu Bo'an was slightly startled and said: "My mother taught you?"
Chen Pingping said with a smile, "Yes, I fought with my aunt during the day. During the phone call, I mentioned that she had made this soup for my uncle to sober up, and the effect was very obvious, so I begged my aunt to teach me. I didn’t expect that I would be able to use it today.”
Xu Boan nodded slightly.
When he was young, his father, Xu Jiancheng, was a technical expert at an agricultural machinery factory in the county and a famous repair master.
At the county and township levels at that time, it was called a hot spot.
Especially during the busy farming season, I almost never eat at home.
After all, there are a lot of problems with farm machinery these days, and many places ask him to repair various machinery.
Almost all the time, I am either on the road to repairing machinery or repairing machinery.
Of course, when it’s time to eat, people who come over are invited to take care of the food and drinks.
Drinking was inevitable, so her mother, Tang Rongzhi, stewed soup for her father to drink. Xu Boan could also follow Zhan Guang to eat some very well-stewed chicken.
After all, it was difficult to eat meat in those days. Thanks to Xu Jiancheng’s craftsmanship, he received gifts like pheasants every now and then. In those days, these game meats were not protected animals. , and there are so many in the mountains that many places even organize special hunting teams to hunt these animals that harm crops.
After reminiscing about his childhood days for a while, Xu Boan sincerely praised: "You are really thoughtful. How is my mother's side?"
I have to say that there are generally few men. Contact the family.
Whether he was a child or grew up, he seldom contacted her for anything. Even after Xu Boan got married, his ex-wife Qi Xiaoxue was too lazy to pay attention to her mother-in-law and father-in-law.
Unexpectedly, Chen Pingping became the bridge between Xu Boan and his mother.
Chen Pingping said with a smile: "Auntie is in a good mood recently. I heard that things in the village are going very smoothly. She also told me to remember to tell you to drink less and rest early."
Xu Bo'an nodded and said while taking off his coat: "Thank you very much. I've been so busy that I neglected to contact my mother."
Chen Pingping helped Xu Bo'an pack the coat he took off while smiling. He shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't have anything serious to do anyway. Chatting with my aunt can be regarded as helping me pass the time. You sit down for a while, and I will serve you soup."
After a while, , Chen Pingping brought out the prepared shredded ginger chicken soup and placed it on the dining table. In the other hand, she also held a small plate, which contained some exquisitely presented side dishes.
“Well, I heard from my aunt that you like to eat this kind of green and crispy side dishes. I happened to see someone selling this kind of pagoda dish when I went out today. I tried to buy some and pickled it. Can you help me? I'll check it."
Xu Bo'an picked it up, took a bite, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's very good, sweet and sour, just right. I didn't expect you to cook a lot."< br>
Chen Pingping laughed happily for a while, then pulled out the chair opposite and sat down. She looked at Xu Bo'an with her chin in her hands and said, "Hey, tell the truth. In fact, you overestimated me. I'm just showing up." It’s just a matter of learning and applying it now. There are all kinds of videos on the Kuaiyin APP now. I just learned it briefly from other food bloggers for a while.” No matter how much you learn, you won’t be able to learn.”
Chen Pingping said: “That’s different. You are a successful person who works hard for your career. Of course, you don’t have time to think about these trivial things. I just have no ambition and nothing to do. A little woman who is just messing around, doing this little thing is already my best ability.”
Xu Bo'an took another mouthful of side dishes, and then slowly swallowed the chicken soup in his mouth. Then he shook his head and said with a smile: "You are really humble. I won't talk about your business achievements as a strong woman. Just talk about you." If you make a quick video about this cooking skill, it might become popular in a while. I won’t know what I want to eat then, it all depends on your mood.”
Chen Pingping said with a smile. "What kind of business success is that I was just lucky enough to buy a shop a few years ago and turned it into a good asset for investment. I am not motivated at all. If there are suitable tenants, I would like to be a housekeeper. As for the short video Photography, if I want to make a name for myself in this industry, I think I'm still too far behind. I'd better study hard and learn cooking skills to serve you, the big boss. It's better than becoming famous on the Internet. It's much more reliable."
Xu Bo'an smiled and took another sip of chicken soup and said, "If you say that, I'll be relieved. My stomach has already adapted to your craftsmanship. There is no time and no schedule, so my stomach will be in trouble."
While talking, Xu Bo'an picked up the bowl and drank the last sip of chicken soup in the bowl.
Chen Pingping reached out and took Xu Bo'an's bowl, stood up and asked: "More? There are still quite a few."
Xu Bo'an shook his head and waved his hands: "No, I'm full. In fact, I I haven’t drunk much wine, and I’m not hungry. I just heard you say that you stewed shredded ginger chicken soup, which made me greedy, so I tasted it. It tastes really good. If you have an appetite, try it too. "Try it."
Chen Pingping said: "No, I have eaten it and made chicken noodle soup. In the afternoon, I went to the hospital to see Tang Xiaorou and successfully delivered some chicken soup to her. I also came with her. Eat. "
When Xu Boan heard Chen Pingping mention Tang Xiaorou, he couldn't help but think of his secretary Tang Xiaotong, whom he hadn't seen for several days.
After this girl renewed her vacation last time, she never called Xu Boan again.
Xu Boan asked casually: "How's it going with Manager Tang?"
Tang Xiaorou is the sales manager of Wanda Central Villa. Xu Boan bought this house through Tang Xiaorou, so it is not wrong for Xu Boan to call him this.
Chen Pingping shook her head and said: "I heard that she recovered well, but it took a hundred days to break the muscles and bones. It will definitely take some time to fully recover."
Xu Bo'an frowned slightly when he heard this. He had heard Tang Xiaotong's simple remarks before, and it seemed that there was no big problem.
Why do you hear Chen Pingping saying this, it involves breaking your muscles and bones?
But that's right. If it was a common illness, Tang Xiaotong wouldn't need to take such a long leave to take care of her sister Tang Xiaorou.
Xu Bo'an asked: "It hurts your muscles and bones? The problem is so serious, what's going on?"
Chen Pingping sighed and said: "I heard it was between the couple. There were some conflicts. Tang Xiaorou moved out to rent a house because the couple had a bad relationship. This time, the annoying husband came to the door and the other party touched her, so she was hospitalized. "
Xu Bo'an heard this. , the frown deepened. This is such a weird thing. It’s totally unreasonable for a man like this to be able to marry a wife!
Soon, Xu Boan listened to Chen Pingping finish telling Tang Xiaorou's story.
Tang Xiaorou got married very young. Not long after she started working, she met a certain teacher Tony who worked in a beauty salon, who was about to become her ex-husband's brother. This teacher Tony graduated from a well-known beauty and hairdressing technical school, and his craftsmanship is acceptable. With his glib eloquence and his ability to beautify and hairdress the nearby factory girls, he has captured the hearts of many factory girls. He has quite a lot of love experience.
Tang Xiaorou, who had just entered the society, was extremely innocent. Under the tenderness and affection of this teacher Tony, and the gentleman's behavior of not touching her, it didn't take long for her to fall.
Then, we entered the grave of marriage.
It’s a real marriage grave! Because it was not until after the marriage that Tang Xiaorou finally realized that this teacher Tony had long been useless.
Later I found out that this teacher Tony was interested in chatting with cats and dogs and picking wild flowers on the roadside.
One accident, I offended someone I couldn’t afford to offend, and I was crippled.
But he was worried that he would be looked down upon, so he seized on Tang Xiaorou as a sudden shield and coaxed her to get married.
If this was nothing, then Tang Xiaorou couldn't bear what happened next.
Tang Xiaorou and her sister had been dependent on each other in the early years. After marriage, although Tony was useless, he did not hinder Tang Xiaorou from living with her sister.
Unexpectedly, only two months later, Tang Xiaorou discovered that this teacher Tony was actually a bastard.
He set up a camera at home to record some of the sisters' daily life and share it in certain groups.
Such perverted behavior and unacceptable profit-making methods made Tang Xiaorou decide to get together and part ways with the other party.
But Teacher Tony didn't agree at all and made various unreasonable demands. Only then did Tang Xiaorou think of adopting a separation method and appeal after a certain period of time to achieve the purpose of divorce.
Unexpectedly, after hiding and hiding, I was still discovered by this teacher Tony, so the previous incident happened.
Xu Bo'an is not a person who likes gossip, and he couldn't help but feel a little indignant when he heard this.
I was thinking about taking some time to go to the hospital to see the sisters and see if there was anything I could do to help.
After chatting with Chen Pingping for a while, Xu Boan went back to the bedroom.
I just wanted to sleep after taking a bath.
Xu Boan felt a calling coming from the bonsai world.
This feeling seems to come from the Tushan Temple in Hongya Village.
Xu Bo'an had an idea and wondered if this could be Niu Twelve and the others.
After all, we had agreed to tie up the Feng Shui master in the evening and report back later.
Now that the Feng Shui master has long since escaped from Hongya Village, Niu Twelve and the others have most likely returned without success. If they come to find me again, are they admitting their mistake?
These little guys are quite particular.
Xu Boan's eyes cut to the mountain temple in the bonsai world, clicked on the bubble, and instantly saw the situation in the Tushan Temple in Hongya Village in front of him.
There are still many people in the temple.
As soon as Niu Twelve stood up after kneeling under the incense table, he heard the question from Grandpa Mountain God.
"Niu Twelve, why did you come to see me?" Xu Bo'an asked casually.
Niu Twelve cupped his hands and said: "Grandpa Mountain God, I have fulfilled my mission and kidnapped the bastard Feng Shui Mr. who framed Sister Guifen, and came to ask Grandpa Mountain God to tell me what to do next. What? "
Hearing this, Xu Boan raised his eyebrows and was quite surprised.
Didn't Mr. Feng Shui use the disguise technique to escape a long time ago? How did he catch and kidnap these people like Niu Twelve?
Before Xu Boan could ask the curious question in his heart, Niu Twelve and another man picked up a bag made of hemp rope, pulled away the thread on the top seal, and pulled it down to reveal The body shape of a tall and lanky man.
Xu Boan was shocked to see that the goatee was vividly displayed on the man's head, just like a real beard.
This guy is Master He, the goatee Feng Shui master who is regarded as a guest in Yuanwai Zhou’s family.
It’s just that Master He had already changed his appearance, removed his goatee, and escaped. Why did he look like this again?
Is it possible that there is fraud in this!
"Niu Twelve, where did you catch this person?" Xu Bo'an asked curiously.
Niu Twelve confessed frankly: "As for Grandpa Shan Shen, we set an ambush on his way to the Zhou family for the banquet and tied him away directly. But this guy has a very tough mouth. We We asked a lot of questions, but he didn’t say anything. We also want to ask Grandpa Shan Shen for help to see how to deal with this inexperienced bastard."
Hearing this, Xu Boan blinked. Somewhat confused.
Abandoned on the way to the Zhou family for a banquet?
That's not right. When I used the earth escape and clairvoyance skills to observe Zhou's home during the day, I definitely saw Master He visiting Zhou's family and then running away.
Why is Niu Twelve now saying that they tied up this guy earlier? If this is the case, who is the Feng Shui master of the Zhou family who is regarded as a guest?
Xu Boan did not rush to ask Niu Twelve about this, but first talked about Wang Guifen's situation to make Niu Twelve feel at ease.
"Niu Twelve, it doesn't make much sense whether he asks or not. As for Wang Guifen, I have brought her back to Kaoshan Village to reunite with her husband. If this guy refuses to cooperate with you, you can do whatever you want with her. ."
Niu Twelve said excitedly: "Ah? Sister Guifen has been rescued, great! Well, then there is no use for this guy, so we might as well throw it into the old mine. , just bury it without anyone noticing, so as to avoid trouble."
As soon as Niu Twelve spoke, the Feng Shui master was obviously shocked and struggled to speak, but he couldn't. Because his mouth was stuffed with a piece of cloth, he couldn't say a word.
Seeing this, Xu Boan hurriedly ordered Niu Twelve: "Let go of this guy's mouth and see what he has to say."
Before Niu Twelve could respond, I saw a middle-aged man trotting in outside the door.
"Twelve boys, I'm back. How is it? Did this guy tell me anything?" Xu Bo'an looked at the visitor and suddenly felt even more surprised.
How could this person... appear here?
