Since Murphy was coming, Yang Yi was not in the mood to open the restaurant. Anyway, there were only a few customers a day. Therefore, he took off the sign early, closed the door, and went upstairs.
Yang Yi knew that Murphy had been so busy these two months that she did not eat regularly, so her appetite was not very good. Therefore, he did not intend to prepare a few dishes casually.
When Murphy and Xi Xi arrived home, Yang Yi was wearing an apron and carrying a spatula in the kitchen!
"Where's Xiaojuan?" Yang Yi asked in surprise.
Murphy curled her lips and said unhappily, "Just us? Do you think that everyone is willing to appreciate your cooking? Xiaojuan has an appointment. I don't know which handsome guy stole her heart! "
This woman, when facing Yang Yi, seemed to gradually put down the defenses in her heart. Her every frown and smile was full of charm, and she was no longer like before when she had an ice- cold expression on her face every day.
"PaPa, it smells so good!" Xi Xi could not wait to take off her small leather boots and walk in front of him in slippers. She went to the second floor and sniffed like a puppy. Her eyes were shining as she said, "Is it time for dinner?"
Yang Yi took Murphy's bag and walked at the back. He smiled and said, "Not yet. We have to wait. The delicious food needs to wait for a while more!"
However, a few minutes after Yang Yi went into the kitchen, he came out again, holding a plate of strawberries with frost. Murphy and Xi Xi were very hungry when they saw the bright red strawberries. However, the middle of the strawberries was hollowed out. They did not know what white thing was inside, so they were very curious.
"What is this?" Murphy could not help but ask.
"This is called condensed milk strawberry ice!" Yang Yi smiled and said, "I specially choose this kind of big strawberry, cut off the stalk, hollowed out the middle, and then poured condensed milk into it. Finally, I put it in the refrigerator to freeze it. It's completely natural and handmade. You can try it first!"
After Yang Yi put down the plate, he went back to the kitchen. However, behind him, the two guys, one big and one small, already couldn't wait to eat.
"Aiya, it's so cold!" His voice was muffled.
"Yummy, yummy!" Xixi gasped for air, but she still cried out happily.
"It's sweet and sour!" Mo Fei's voice was as happy as a child who had not grown up yet.
Yang Yi, who was cooking in the kitchen, could not help but smile when he heard something.
…
Finally, it was time to eat. Just when Mo Fei and Xixi were looking at the dishes on the table longingly, Yang Yi served them the porridge that he had carefully cooked.
"What is this?" Murphy reacted, looking at the soft and soft porridge, and the colorful yellow, black, light red and other ingredients, and asked with some confusion.
"This is mixed grain porridge." Yang Yi introduced, "It's pumpkin, black beans, glutinous rice, rice, millet and peanuts. Then it's boiled until it's soft and melts in the mouth. It's very good for the stomach!"
Xi Xi couldn't wait to secretly take a small spoon and eat a small bite, just in time to eat her favorite peanuts. The little girl blinked her big eyes and said happily, "Delicious!"
"Xi Xi! You can't be so rude. Wait for your father to sit down, then we can start eating! "Murphy, who attached great importance to etiquette, immediately scolded with a stern face.
Xi Xi could only obediently put her two small hands on her knees and sit properly. But there was a smile in her eyes, and she even stuck out her little tongue at her father, as if secretly complaining to her father about her mother's strictness.
Yang Yi smiled carelessly and continued to explain, but he was concise and comprehensive, because Xi Xi couldn't help but want to eat quickly!
"The theme of today's meal is to 'eat well'. To eat well, one must first have an appetite. In that case, I have no choice but to recommend this plate of sweet and sour squid. It's a replica of sweet and sour pork, but the base ingredient is squid, which is more elastic and chewy!"
"This is vegetarian tofu. Although it looks no different from ordinary tofu, it's stuffed with carrots and chopped shiitake mushrooms!
"This is Xi Xi's favorite soda chicken wings (similar to cola chicken wings, but called cola chicken wings for the sake of differentiation). It's just lightly fried in oil, so it won't be very hot.
"This is …"
Finally, Yang Yi finished, and the queen nodded in satisfaction. She waved her chopsticks and ordered confidently, "Let's eat!"
Xi Xi was already swallowing her saliva. Hearing this, she happily grabbed the small spoon and ate the porridge with relish.
"Delicious! It's sweet, Xi Xi likes it so much! "Xi Xi said vaguely, probably because she ate the pumpkin." It's better than Auntie's! "
Murphy said somewhat sternly, "Don't talk when eating, Yang Xi. How many times do you want Mom to say it?"
Yang Yi picked up a piece of cola chicken wing for his daughter and put it on the small plate in front of her. He advised, "It's okay, it's just eating, what's the problem with talking?"
"Of course it's the problem, Xi Xi is a girl, how can she be like those men, spitting saliva and talking while eating?" Murphy was unhappy when she heard this. She put down her chopsticks and argued seriously.
Well, if they quarreled, they wouldn't be able to eat.
Yang Yi quickly shut his mouth and only picked up food for them. Xi Xi was small and couldn't stand up to pick up food on her own, so Yang Yi did what Murphy was supposed to do. At the same time, he also picked up soft and smooth tofu and sweet and sour squid for Murphy …
Murphy was actually not used to others picking up food for her. She had been raised to be very independent since she was young, and she even resisted other people's attentions.
But this time, it was a little different. Yang Yi was picking up food for her.
For some reason, a very strange feeling lingered in her heart.
Was it warmth? Was it happiness? Or what was it? Murphy couldn't explain it clearly.
So she hesitated for a moment and didn't refuse.
"Actually … it's because the food he cooks is too delicious!" Murphy found an excuse for herself in her heart. "Otherwise, I wouldn't give him face!"
Yang Yi's food was, of course, delicious. Murphy and Xi Xi were so full that they didn't want to move from their chairs. In the end, Yang Yi cleared the table and suggested, "Let's go to the dam for a walk!"
"No, I'm not going." Murphy shook her head.
"What's the problem? It's night now, there's basically no one on the dam, and the wind is comfortable, "Yang Yi persuaded." Let's go out for a walk and take it as a distraction. I'll drive you back in a while. "
Xi Xi was interested. She stretched her arms high to attract her father's attention and then shouted, "I want to go too, I want to go too!"
"Okay then …" Murphy hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
The night wind blew from the Grand Canal, and three figures, two big and one small, appeared on the dark river dam. Yang Yi walked at the back, carefully protecting the two in front. Xixi walked in the first, but her little hand was held by Mo Fei.
The dam was actually very spacious, and there was a tall protective fence, but Murphy was still worried.
Actually, this was the first time Yang Yi and Murphy went out for a walk together. If it weren't for Xi Xi, the cheerful person who kept laughing, the atmosphere might have been a little awkward!
But even so, Murphy and Yang Yi still didn't know how to talk to each other. They were silent and kept silent.
It was Yang Yi who broke the silence. He said, "I quite like your song 'Strangers.'"
In the darkness, the water of the Grand Canal gently lapped against the dam. The sound of the water rushing against the dam was very soothing. Murphy turned her head and saw Yang Yi's bright eyes in the darkness.
As if they had a telepathic connection, Mo Fei said softly, "How about I sing it for you now?"
"But there's no accompaniment," Yang Yi said with some regret.
"The inky cold night rain … can't wet my heart, just like this old road … can't wait for the person to come, forever unable to rush, that deep mark of love …" Murphy's ethereal voice, with its own melody, was already softly singing.
Yang Yi closed his mouth and listened quietly.
Xi Xi, who liked her mother's singing the most, was no longer naughty. She obediently followed her mother's steps, as if she was also following her mother's rhythm.
"… You said that this road is a little dark, but you're not willing to accompany me, the so-called care is only left with indifference, I can only bear the sadness alone …"
Murphy's singing was sad and tired, like an intoxicating red wine. Yang Yi was a little intoxicated listening to it.
Yang Yi looked at Murphy's beautiful figure in the darkness. This quiet and beautiful woman was like an orchid in an empty valley, and actually made people feel pity for her. He couldn't help but have some fanciful thoughts …
Strangers. Then, what road were the two of them walking on now?
