"My family is having king crab today!"
After saying this, Liu Mingfei suddenly wanted to slap himself.
Damn, why are what I say different from what I actually think?
Does he really think that Yan Xi Ning, such a pretty girl, is as greedy as him?
Now that's good, she will probably be treated as a weirdo, and we can only take her away by force and reform her slowly.
however.
Yan Xining's body suddenly trembled.
She stopped walking away, and even though she only showed Liu Mingfei her back, he could see hesitation in her.
"Can maids... eat it too?"
Yan Xining thought, if she could eat king crab, then... it wouldn't be a problem if she died a day later.
"..."
Liu Mingfei tilted his head slightly.
So you are a foodie too?
5. You are not allowed to die
an hour and a half later
Liu Mingfei's house is in a community one street away from Yunhai Experimental Middle School, and it is a duplex structure.
Yan Xining clutched her skirt tightly with both hands and followed Liu Mingfei quietly all the way. She didn't say a word and kept her head down, looking like a wronged girlfriend.
In fact, she was afraid of Liu Mingfei and afraid of following him to a strange place.
Whether on the high-speed train or on the way back in a taxi, Liu Mingfei kept observing Yan Xining quietly. At the age of fifteen or sixteen, she was really a very beautiful little girl.
She didn't have the distraught, heartbreaking and beautiful face that I had when I first met her in real life.

Instead, she gives people a feeling of just maturing, yet still pitiful. Her delicate and fair face is lovable, and her long silver hair is like white clouds drawn into light silk. However, she is fragile and has a wounded soul, but she looks so strong on the outside, which makes people want to hold her in their arms and protect her.
Therefore, Liu Mingfei did not act as rudely as he did with Wen Xiaoqiang. Instead, he was cautious, prescribed the right medicine, and did not do anything presumptuous.
"arrive."
After walking out of the elevator, Yan Xining took a few deep breaths... Being alone is the most frightening thing, especially in a confined space.
But walking out of the elevator did not mean that her nervousness subsided. She still held her skirt tightly and followed Liu Mingfei carefully.
It was not until she saw the large foam box filled with seafood in front of Liu Mingfei's house that the light returned to her eyes.
"Help me close the door." After opening the door and picking up the box, Liu Mingfei couldn't free his hands. He looked at the girl who stopped at the entrance and didn't dare to go in. He smiled gently and said, "There are slippers in the shoe cabinet. Just wear those."
After saying that, Liu Mingfei walked into the newly rented house holding the foam box. It took him a long time to find where the kitchen was.
But before he even got close to the kitchen, he saw the silver-haired girl in slippers walking in from the corner of his eye. She didn't dare say anything, but just looked around his house quietly like a kitten that had just arrived in a strange place.
"I just moved to Yunhai, so there aren't many furniture. It won't be difficult for you to clean up." Liu Mingfei comforted.
Who would have thought that the silver-haired girl's attention was not on the house.
"I just arrived in Yunhai... Can I still get a Yunhai license plate?"
"..."
Liu Mingfei said he was choked.
2018-03-27
He walked into the kitchen carrying the foam box and was about to open it when he found a silver-haired girl lying by the kitchen door, gently poking her head out to look at him.
"If you're tired, you can sit on the sofa first."
"I'm not tired...I want to come in and cook together, is that okay?"
Yan Xining lowered her eyes, as if she was afraid of being alone... but also afraid of being too close to Liu Mingfei.
Liu Mingfei thought about it carefully and did not refuse.
"Okay, but don't get too close to this box."
The girl nodded slightly, walked closer quietly, and stood at a distance.
Liu Mingfei used scissors to skillfully remove the packaging with gentle force and opened the lid. Inside was a 5-jin red king crab, which usually costs more than 300 yuan per jin in the market.
But in order to deliver it within an hour and a half... he spent a lot of money on the express delivery fee.
When Liu Mingfei grabbed the king crab, its legs were still struggling and moving. Its red shell was covered with thorns, and it was bigger than his head. It looked very exaggerated at first glance.
Liu Mingfei noticed that although Yan Xining was frightened by the king crab, after she came to her senses, her nervous and frightened expression seemed to have eased a little.
Although she still kept a distance from him, the light in her eyes had almost returned to normal.
This made Liu Mingfei feel a little helpless.
Yan Xi Ning is weak, pitiful and helpless now, but she can eat.
Liu Mingfei skillfully placed the king crab in the sink. Instead of washing the crab and throwing it into the pot as usual, he picked up a pair of scissors and cut off the long crab legs one by one along the thigh joint of the king crab.
The king crab was actually still alive, and it was even moving when its legs were cut off. Yan Xining saw this scene, and she took a step back in fear.
Liu Mingfei knew what she was afraid of and wanted to ask him why he didn't just cook it, so he started to explain.
"The purpose of cutting the legs is to drain the crab blood. After the crab blood is drained, the crab meat will be more delicious, and it can also save space, so that a regular-sized steamer can fit all of them."
Yan Xining was skeptical, but the fear in her eyes was no longer there. Instead, she stared at the movements of Liu Mingfei's hands with curiosity.
Liu Mingfei steamed the crab legs in an electric steamer for fifteen minutes. After steaming, he took out the crab legs and put the crab body back into the steamer, setting the timer for twenty minutes.
He placed the steamed crab legs in the sink and rinsed them with running water to cool them down, making the crab meat shrink. He then wiped the moisture off the shell, placed the crab legs on the table, skillfully opened the joint between the first and second thighs, pulled out two crab tendons, and took out scissors to cut the crab shell. His technique of cutting the crab shell was very skillful, fast and steady. After the crab shell was cut open, the whole crab meat inside was not damaged at all.
What is the meaning of the word "baby"?
When Liu Mingfei took out the big crab stick, Yan Xining could smell the delicious aroma from a long distance away. Looking at the big stick in his hand, she gurgled and swallowed.
What made Yan Xining greedy and shocked was not just this. Liu Mingfei was not satisfied with taking only a piece of crab meat from one leg. Instead, he took out the meat from every crab leg and filled an entire plate, which made people drool just by looking at it.
Then he took out the crab body from the steamer and put the crab legs that had taken too long to cool down into the steamer to keep them warm. He did the same with the crab legs as he did with the crab body, and piece by piece, the white crab meat fell into a large plate.
"Do you need my help?" After watching for a long time, Yan Xining mustered up the courage to step forward and asked, with the initial fear no longer in her eyes.
Liu Mingfei smiled with satisfaction. It was worth all his trouble. He nodded and said, "There's macaroni and sauce under the cabinet next to you. Can you cook two plates of macaroni and make some dipping sauce?"
"it is good."
The silver-haired girl agreed immediately, took out an apron from the refrigerator and tied it on, then took out a hairband and simply tied it into a ponytail.
Liu Mingfei couldn't help but glance at her snow-white neck, but soon he noticed that the girl's eyes lingered on the knife for a moment longer. This reminded him of something, and he quickly said:
"By the way, you are not allowed to touch the knife. And your hand was injured just now, so you can't touch water. Remember to wear gloves."
Yan Xining was stunned for a moment and nodded, but Liu Mingfei was still worried and only felt relieved after putting away the knife.
Fifteen minutes later, two plates of macaroni, a plate of Chinese cabbage, and a crab covered with a crab shell, but with its legs removed. Even the crab shell was empty, and the crab meat had already filled the plate.
But the exquisite plating, with each section of leg meat placed in an orderly manner, makes the whole king crab look lifelike, as if it were alive.
Liu Mingfei was very satisfied with his technique, and felt that it was worth the expense he had made today.
He pulled out a stool and sat down, just as he was about to start eating, but he found Yan Xining standing in the distance, refusing to come over.
"Um...Sir, I'll wait until you finish eating before I eat."
Although Yan Xining's eyes never left the cooked king crab whose carcass was left intact, she still didn't want to go forward.
She heard that maids were not allowed to eat at the same table with their masters. No matter how hungry they were, they could not lose their etiquette and rules.
Thinking of this, Yan Xining lowered her eyes, not daring to look again.
As long as you can't see... then you're not hungry.
Liu Mingfei sighed, thought for a while, stepped forward and grabbed Yan Xining's hand.
"Hey?"
Yan Xi Ning, who was staring blankly with her head down, was suddenly grabbed by the hand, which scared her. She looked up at Liu Mingfei in confusion and astonishment.
At that moment, a pair of pure and pitiful eyes entered Liu Mingfei's sight.
There were tears in her eyes, the color of her pupils was clear and bright lake blue, but those tears made people unable to look at them and felt pity.
"Sir..." Yan Xining looked at Liu Mingfei worriedly, "Can you let me go..."
Should I let you go and let you think about whatever you want and think about your deceased parents?
"No, not unless you dine with me."
Liu Mingfei took Yan Xining to the restaurant and asked her to sit next to his seat.
"Sir, I..."
"Shut up. If you don't want me to get mad, just eat quickly."

The silver-haired girl immediately shut her mouth. She didn't dare let Liu Mingfei get angry with her. Liu Mingfei was an adult and much taller than her. It would be scary if he got angry.
Yan Xining picked up the fork and unskillfully rolled up the macaroni and ate it, occasionally eating some cabbage hearts, but she didn't even touch the plate of crab meat.
Liu Mingfei was surprised by this. Didn't she like seafood? Why didn't she eat crab meat now?
But Liu Mingfei soon realized that he was now the head of the family, and Yan Xining would not dare to pick up her chopsticks unless he took action first.
Liu Mingfei was at a loss for words. He picked up a whole crab leg and stuffed it into his mouth, only biting off one-third of it in one go.
Sure enough, after seeing Liu Mingfei eating crabs, Yan Xining stared at the perfect crab leg that Liu Mingfei put into his mouth.
She swallowed and thought that it must be delicious.
I just don't know which would taste better, eating it directly or dipping it in sauce.
After Liu Mingfei finished eating the crab leg, he picked up the plate and scraped the crab. One-third of the meat fell into his macaroni. Then he placed the remaining two-thirds of the crab in front of Yan Xining.
"Sir, what are you doing?!"
Yan Xi Ning grumbled and waved her hands to refuse, but Liu Mingfei suddenly patted her shoulder and said earnestly:
"You are still a high school student and still growing. Listen to the adults' arrangements."
This was not the first time Yan Xi Ning had heard such words. When she was at home, her parents would buy her hairy crabs in the same way: five, let her eat three, and each of them would have one.
But Yan Xining only ate one each time, because she knew that her parents worked hard to earn money for her to study in Yunhai, and she would not allow herself to feel at ease and enjoy her parents' kindness to her.
Therefore, Yan Xi Ning never expected herself to eat well, as long as she could satisfy her cravings occasionally.
But the gentleman in front of her looked like he would get angry if she didn't listen to him, which scared her.
"Then... I ate it?" Yan Xi Ning asked in a low voice.
Liu Mingfei ate his noodles without raising his head and nodded.
With Liu Mingfei's approval, Yan Xining carefully picked up a piece of crab leg meat and put it into her mouth... Just with the first bite, the extremely rich and layered taste lingered in her mouth, and after the crab blood was drained, the peculiar smell disappeared, and the fresh and sweet taste was particularly obvious.
Yan Xining shed tears quietly... It was the first time she had eaten such delicious food.
It seems like I have no regrets in life. I will go back to see my parents tomorrow.
I will pay back the money I owe to this gentleman tomorrow... and also pay for this crab.
……
Liu Mingfei, who was eating macaroni at the side, glanced to the side out of habit, and then was shocked.
This girl...how long has it been since she had a good meal?
Maybe I can really tie Yan Xining to my side through food?
After eating and drinking enough.
"Sir, can I wash the dishes?"
"No, I'll do it."
Yan Xining wanted to help clean the dishes, but Liu Mingfei shook his head, simply rinsed the dishes, and put them in the cabinet dishwasher.
