Walking the Path of a Workaholic in Cliché Novels (QT) Chapter 44

The lettuce wrap was brought to his mouth, and the aroma of beef wafted out through the lettuce leaves. An Yinong pursed his lips.

     He would not eat food that had passed through other people’s hands. This was an experience left behind by countless lessons before. However, when Tang Yu looked at him expectantly, he could not remember his own principles.

     “Will he be disappointed if he doesn’t eat?”

     Tang Yu was holding a lettuce wrap. His face was calm and he was smiling. No one knew how nervous he was at the moment. Feeding was a very intimate act that crossed a certain line of safety. It’s normal for An Yinong not to accept it. If he accepted it…would he have many more possibilities?

     The smokeless coal under the baking pan made a stinging sound due to the oil droplets. Who knew how much time had passed. Tang Yu stretched out his hand stubbornly, waiting for a clear rejection, or…

     At this time, An Yinong came over and opened his mouth to eat the barbecue delivered to his door.

     Tang Yu’s eyes lit up a little, and he even laughed uncontrollably.

     When he takes a bite, he will find perfectly grilled beef pieces under the fresh, crisp and sweet lettuce. The outside has a crispy charred shell, and the meat inside was very tender. When the teeth cut the meat, the juices splash out, but it was not too soft.

     At this time, a Q-bombed fish roe rolled into the mouth and exploded when you bit it, bringing a completely different flavor. Simply put, it’s delicious. It would taste even better if paired with the iced plum wine in the store.

     “Drink less. The alcohol content is 15%. If you drink too much, you will get drunk.” Tang Yu reminded him and continued to grill the meat in his hands.

     “Yeah.” An Yinong nodded and quietly filled the wine glass.

     An Yinong tried his own barbecue, using M8 beef cuts with more obvious snowflake patterns. Since he had never roasted beef by himself before, An Yinong didn’t know how to roast beef to maintain the best taste. He simply copied Tang Yu’s previous steps.

     “Well, it is indeed more milky and the meat is more tender and soft, but it also lacks the meatiness of beef.” It can’t be said to melt in your mouth, but it was still too soft. In terms of taste, it was lacking than the previous M5 beef.

     Sure enough, one should listen to the foodies on this matter. The beef in the M8 was too fatty. At this moment, Tang Yu also grilled a piece of meat, wrapped it into a lettuce leaf and put it in his mouth. Today’s barbecue seemed to be particularly delicious.

     Suddenly he remembered that when he was feeding, An Yinong’s lips brushed against his fingertips, and his fingertips touched his own lips… The firelight turned his face red.

     “How cooked does this kind of roast beef need to be? I think it’s still pink in the middle.” An Yinong didn’t notice Tang Yu’s expression. He was looking down at the beef pieces on the plate.

     He didn’t know much about steak. When he went to the restaurant, he just followed the tradition of asking for medium rare, but he could still eat with gusto if it was well done.

     Tang Yu came back to his senses: “I’m used to five ripeness. At this doneness, the fat in the beef has just melted and the juice is very juicy. You can try other doneness levels. Everyone’s preferences are different, so there’s not that much emphasis on it. How did that sauce feel just now?”

     “It’s pretty good.” An Yinong thought for a while, only thinking about how delicious it was.

     “The previous sauce was a little spicy. If you don’t like spicy food, you can try this sauce.” Tang Yu brought over a sauce cup in the shape of Aladdin’s magic lamp.

     He took another flat piece of snowflake beef, then wrapped a small piece of fatty foie gras with the beef slice, and then fried it on an iron plate at low temperature.

     Basically only the foie gras inside was fried until it softened, then he picked it up and dipped it in the sauce, then placed it on a piece of toasted thin bread, then put a small piece of black truffle on it and wrapped it up. As we all know, foie gras with wagyu, that’s… very fatty.

     An Yinong was full of guilt, but he couldn’t help but stretch out his hand: It smelled so good! How could humans reject fat?

     “The aroma of black truffle is very strong, the meat of the beef is very tender, and the slightly melted foie gras has a silky texture. Because of the layer of bread on the outside, the two foods with a strong milk aroma do not make people feel tired when they are stacked together.”

     An Yinong, who was not a gourmet expert, expressed his feelings honestly: “The sauce added also has a special fragrance. It will not destroy the taste of beef and foie gras at all, and it will not overwhelm the others. What is this sauce?”

     “It’s a sauce made from beef bone marrow. If you like it, we also have roasted beef leg bones here. The bone marrow in it is very good, but it’s a little oily.” Looking at An Yinong’s curious eyes, Tang Yu unknowingly said more. .

     In fact, he didn’t really like eating with others. Except for necessary social interactions, Tang Yu chose to eat alone.

     After that, Tang Yu introduced many kinds of barbecue, including combinations. Just because it was expensive didn’t necessarily mean it’s delicious, what’s important was the quality of the ingredients and the combination of them.

     “It turns out this is what it feels like to share your favorite food.”

     Seeing An Yinong accepting his hospitality, trying cuttlefish roe, fresh shrimp, grilled oysters, fried matsutake mushrooms, and grilled eggplant one by one, and praising his barbecue skills, Tang Yu’s smile became brighter and brighter, which was totally unlike him.

     He felt a great sense of accomplishment and wanted to keep feeding.

     After an hour of eating, An Yinong came out, his cheeks red from the alcohol: “Sin, oh sin.”

     Tang Yu suppressed a smile: “I’ll take you back.”

     “Yeah.” An Yinong sat down in the passenger seat, smiling all the time and looking a little dazed. He looks so cute even when he’s drunk.

     Tang Yu knew that a young man of this age shouldn’t be called cute, but he couldn’t help it.

     They talked about preparing to release a single in the car. Tang Yu said that it was convenient for him to contact the band and recording studio, and An Yinong did not object. He has applied for the original copyright of many songs and will record them one by one in the future.

     “I want to hold a concert of my own in the future.” When talking about this dream, An Yinong’s eyes would shine, just as bright as when he sang on the stage.

     “It must be possible.” Tang Yu said firmly.

     When he arrived at the community, An Yinong got out of the car and picked up his luggage from the trunk.

     “Thank you today.” He stood by the car window and said goodbye to the car owner.

     “Let’s try deep-frying together next time? I know a small shop that is very good at making fried food. With the owner’s special sauce, it won’t be greasy at all. If you think the calories are too high, there is also steamed food, you can go oil-free.”

     “Okay!” An Yinong, who was quick to speak and responded in one step, looked ashamed: He usually wouldn’t indulge himself like this, it must be the fault of the alcohol.

     Seeing his depressed look, Tang Yu couldn’t help but laugh: “How about tomorrow? Just treat it as a commercial to celebrate you?”

     Could An Yinong refuse? No, no one could refuse fried food, even if eating it will make them fat.

     After receiving the confirmed answer, Tang Yu left the community with a smile. He was going home, but when he reached the fork in the road, he suddenly remembered something. The car turned directly and drove towards the other side: the store the assistant mentioned was in this direction. Right?

     “You’ve fallen, you’ve fallen, host!” The system was heartbroken. There were so many delicious things to eat, so why didn’t he think about the fact that there was still a system waiting to be fed in his family? Didn’t even bring a takeout box?

     “Next time, I’ll take you there somewhere else.” That restaurant was a little bit expensive, but it was still affordable to eat there once in a while.

     An Yinong dragged his suitcase and got into the elevator. He suddenly thought of something: “Did I not return the scarf to him?”

     As he spoke, he opened the suitcase and found a soft cashmere scarf inside.

     “I’m so happy to eat. But to be honest, host, are you a little excited? Anyway, the mission is over 60, so let’s have fun in time.” The system was no longer the one that chased him on the mission before. It was that good food corrodes ambition.

     An Yinong was also a little confused. He did not deny that he felt a little special towards Tang Yu. Even if he had the same purpose of pursuing Tang Yu, An Yinong would not feel nauseated, nor would he be on guard at all times.

     He was even looking forward to the next meeting. I don’t hate it, I kind of like it, at least so far.

     “Aren’t we going to have dinner together tomorrow? I will think about it carefully then.” An Yinong smiled, “I won’t do this kind of thing while making people wait without direction.”

     The system heard something: “Oh~ So you have already made a decision?”

     “Well, in short, the most important thing right now is to deal with Zhao Ze first. His existence is a threat to me.” He said.

     In order to attract female birds, male birds must first build a safe and comfortable nest. If he wants to fall in love, he must first create a safe environment. But Zhao Ze was an unsafe factor and an outlaw.

     “Do we have to contact him? In fact, we can ignore Zhao Ze in the future.” The system said urgently.

     “You have a secret. Is it related to Zhao Ze?” An Yinong picked up the system and shook it, “What secret is it?”

     “I’m sorry.” The system stretched out two tentacles and covered its face.

     “Can not say?”

     “Um.”

     An Yinong put the system on his shoulders: “But I still don’t want to let him go. Once something is done, it will definitely leave traces. I will continue to investigate the poisoning back then.”

     Because of his own likes and dislikes, he can easily ruin other people’s lives without any remorse. And shamelessly say things like ‘like’ and ‘love’. He committed a crime but got away with it because he was powerful.

     How could this be tolerated? While talking, the elevator had reached the nineteenth floor. An Yinong stepped out of the elevator. He took out his keys and changed his shoes as a habit.

     “Um?”

     A pair of leather shoes that did not belong to him appeared on the shoe cabinet at the door. They were shiny patent leather and the uppers were so clean that not a speck of mud could be seen.

     An Yinong raised his head and looked at the door. There was light coming through the crack in the door. He suddenly sobered up for the most part.

     Before going out, he made sure to turn off all electrical appliances in the house.

     “Hey, police? I suspect someone has sneaked into my house.” An Yinong raised his feet lightly and stepped back step by step, being careful not to make any sound.

     “Address is……”

     As soon as he reported his address, the door suddenly opened, and a tall figure appeared at the door. He had no light behind him, and only his eyes had an unknown bright color. An Yinong’s heart tightened.

     “Come back? I’ve been waiting for you all night.”

     “Zhao Ze?”

     “Did you go out to eat with that person from the Lu family? Did you drink too? Did you have a good time? Because I was waiting for you, I haven’t eaten yet.” Zhao Ze looked a little dangerous at this moment. He was very angry, but his face only showed a bright smile.

     “I have already called the police.” An Yinong warned him, “Is this considered an illegal intrusion into someone else’s house? It’s still too late for you to leave now.”

     “Yinong, come back to me… I don’t care who has been around you. From now on, if you want to sing, you can sing. If you want to stay in the entertainment industry, you can stay in the entertainment industry.”

     Regret values are 89, 92, 93, 95… The system looked at the crazy soaring regret value and shouted loudly: “Host, stop him quickly, don’t let him say those words!”

     However, it was a step too late. Zhao Ze looked at An Yinong and said word by word: “Yinong, I regret it.”
