At noon on Sunday, Qian Lan carried a box and went to the unit where Xia Pingan and Xia Ning lived …
Just as she entered the hall downstairs, she saw a naughty child rolling on the ground in the lobby, crying loudly, and acting shamelessly with an auntie. "Grandma, I want to eat … I want to eat this … It smells so good … It's here again … Grandma, I want to eat …"
The auntie complained helplessly to the security guard in the lobby's mailroom, "Seriously, who's cooking this soup on the weekend? Every time it arouses my little grandson's craving, he's going to make a scene …"
The security guard in the mailroom stuck his head out of the window, sniffed, and swallowed his saliva. "It feels like someone's cooking upstairs. How can there be such a fragrant soup? It comes every few weeks. It's really killing me …"
"Yeah, this soup is too fragrant. I wonder who's cooking it …" The old granny looked at her grandson with heartache. "Last time, I knocked on every door and said that I wanted some soup for my grandson, but no one opened the door for me …"
Qian Lan also smelled the fragrance. It was a very special fragrance that made one's appetite soar. The fragrance floated in the building. It seemed to have floated down the stairs, but it also seemed to have floated in from the outside.
"Miss, who are you looking for?" The security guard in the mailroom looked up and saw a beautiful girl in a long dress walking into the lobby with a box. Out of duty, he opened his mouth and asked.
"I'm a friend of Xia Pingan. I'm here to look for him …" Qian Lan replied.
"Oh, Xia Pingan. He lives on the top floor. Just follow the stairs!" The security guard in the mailroom said.
"Okay, thank you!" Qian Lan naturally knew which room Xia Pingan lived in.
Qian Lan followed the stairs upstairs. When she reached the stairs, she heard the security guard and the old granny whispering behind her.
"Finally, a girl came to look for Xia Pingan. I thought Xia Pingan was going to be a bachelor for the rest of his life …"
"This girl is quite pretty. Why would she take a fancy to that Xia Pingan? He's just a car mechanic. He's honest, dutiful, and has no money …" The old woman also muttered.
Hearing the discussion of the uncle and aunt downstairs, Qian Lan had a strange expression on her face.
She was the first girl to come here to look for Xia Pingan?
Xia Pingan is honest and has no money?
Regardless of whether the first sentence was true or not, the landlord and his wife, who had paid 500,000 yuan and had to eat in jail, would definitely not agree with the second sentence.
The higher he went, the stronger the fragrance that reverberated in the building. The fragrance was mellow, rich, and fresh. There seemed to be the smell of seafood, but when he sniffed it, he felt that there was also the smell of chicken soup. In short, it was hard to describe.
Although Qian Lan was not a glutton, the fragrance still made her mouth secrete saliva crazily. She felt a little hungry.
No wonder that brat was rolling around downstairs.
But soon, Qian Lan arrived outside Xia Pingan's house. She first looked at the door number and found that it was correct. Then, she pressed the doorbell.
"Ding dong … Ding dong …"
The doorbell was only pressed twice. After a few seconds, the security door opened. Qian Lan saw a delicate and pretty girl around 18 or 19 years old sticking her head out from behind the door and looking outside carefully. "Ah, who are you looking for?"
Qian Lan smiled. "You're Xia Ning, right? I'm Qian Lan. I made an appointment with your brother. I'm coming over this afternoon to deliver the paintings and money you lost …"
"Ah, you're big sister Qian. My brother said that you're beautiful and capable. Please come in!" Xia Ning's eyes lit up when he saw Qian Lan. He quickly opened the door and invited Qian Lan in. As soon as Qian Lan entered, Xia Ning quickly closed the door, as if he was afraid that the air in the room would run out.
The smell in this room?
As soon as she entered the room, Qian Lan's nose twitched. She realized that the fragrance in this room was even stronger.
Could it be that the fragrance that the entire building could smell came from this room …
"Brother, big sister Qian is here …" Xia Ning called out to the kitchen.
Then, a voice came from the kitchen, "Okay, please take a seat, Officer Qian. The soup is almost ready. I'll bring it out and we can eat …"
That irresistible aroma was coming from the kitchen …
"Big sister Qian, you came at the right time. You can have a meal with us and try my brother's soup cooking skills …" Xia Ning, who brought Qian Lan to the dining room, winked at Qian Lan.
Qian Lan wanted to refuse and say that she had already eaten lunch, but when the words reached her mouth, they somehow became, "That fragrance is the soup that big brother made? “
"Not bad, isn't it fragrant enough?" Xia Ning said proudly, "That's my brother's specialty. He's the only one in the world who can make such a delicious soup …"
"Then it seems that I'm in luck!" Qian Lan smiled.
As she spoke, Qian Lan saw Xia Pingan, who was wearing an apron, walk out of the kitchen with a large bowl of fragrant soup pot.
It was absolutely true. The fragrance came from the soup pot in Xia Pingan's hand.
"Mr. Xia, I'm sorry. I didn't expect you to be eating …" Qian Lan stood up and said to Xia Pingan.
The Xia Pingan in front of her was like a cute and warm boy next door. He even made Qian Lan feel a little unfamiliar.
Xia Pingan, who was wearing an apron and smelling of smoke, was the same person who quietly let her and Liu Rui follow him all the way to the entrance of the Committee of Order and turned around to wave at her and Liu Rui?
"Hahaha, I've troubled Officer Qian to come again for my matter. This place is simple and crude, and there's nothing to entertain. I'll invite Officer Qian to have a simple meal with us …" Xia Pingan smiled. "You're welcome. Please sit down. I'll go to the kitchen and bring two more dishes!"
"Ah, let me help you …"
…
In a short while, Xia Pingan, Xia Ning, and Qian Lan sat around the table. There were three dishes and a soup on the table. The fragrance of the soup made people drool.
Xia Ning opened a bottle of non-alcoholic sparkling wine and poured three glasses.
"This glass is to celebrate that my brother finally bought a second-hand pickup truck. Our family finally has a car. In the future, we don't have to take the bus when we go out to set up a stall. Also, thank you, Sister Qian, for bringing back the money that my family lost. Today is a double blessing …"
Hearing Xia Ning's words, Xia Pingan and Qian Lan looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
The three of them drank a glass. Xia Ning took Qian Lan's bowl and added two spoonfuls of soup to Qian Lan's bowl. There were also sea cucumbers and abalone in the soup.
"Sister Qian, this is my brother's specialty. It's the Xia family's secret pot soup. Try it …"
Whether it was because of her taste buds or her curiosity, Qian Lan couldn't hold it in any longer. Seeing the fragrant soup in the bowl, Qian Lan picked up the spoon and took a small sip. The expression on Qian Lan's face became wonderful …
This soup … is really … really … really delicious …
With just one sip, Qian Lan felt the taste buds in her mouth open. She couldn't help but want to take a second sip …
Xia Ning raised his eyebrows at Xia Pingan. In Xia Pingan's eyes, there was only one sentence — brother, this sister is not bad either!
…
After dinner, Xia Pingan sent Qian Lan out of the neighborhood.
Seeing that Qian Lan wanted to say something a few times but hesitated, Xia Pingan smiled and stretched out his hand. "Officer Qian, let's officially get to know each other. I, Xia Pingan, am a screw from the Xianghe City National Committee of Order! “
Qian Lan was slightly stunned. Then, she seemed to heave a big sigh of relief. She smiled and shook hands with Xia Pingan. "Qian Lan, Xianghe City Police Superintendent. By the way, can I ask you a personal question?" “
"What question?"
"You're … a summoner?"
"If I tell you, I'll have to silence you …"
Qian Lan's heart tightened. When she saw the smile on Xia Pingan's face, she realized that Xia Pingan was joking with her.
…
In the evening, after finishing the last pot of soup at home, Xia Pingan officially started moving with Xia Ning.
Although it was said to be moving, it was actually very simple. The two of them moved the things in the six suitcases to Xia Pingan's new second-hand pickup truck. Then, Xia Pingan drove his new second-hand pickup truck and pulled the luggage and Xia Ning to Guangzhou Hotel. They booked a suite and temporarily settled down.
