Chapter 235 He Feng Makes Noodles
Uncle Guan was resting leisurely on a chair. When he heard the knock on the door, he frowned slightly, wondering who would disturb him so late at night. He wanted to pretend that he didn't hear it and continue to close his eyes to rest, but when he saw through the window that it was He Feng standing outside the door, he hesitated for a moment, and finally stood up slowly.
As Uncle Guan walked toward the door, he muttered, "Director He, why haven't you gotten off work yet at this hour?"
Uncle Guan still respects He Feng very much. After all, he has only been there for a short time and has solved many major cases. Now even Uncle Guan feels very proud when he goes out.
After all, there are so many children, so it means they can all be found. What a strange person he is.
After opening the door, he immediately smiled and said enthusiastically, "Wow, Director He, you are really working hard! It's so late and you are still busy."
He Feng smiled and responded, "Uncle Guan, don't be so polite. I did have some things to deal with today, and I've been busy until now without realizing it. I came back too late, so I thought about making something to eat."
As he spoke, his eyes showed respect for Uncle Guan. You know, Uncle Guan was a brave warrior who fought against Japanese pirates when he was young, but unfortunately he retired from the front line due to injury and came to the Public Security Bureau to guard the gate. This achievement and experience made He Feng always respect Uncle Guan.
Uncle Guan nodded, showing his understanding, and quickly said, "Okay, then come in quickly, it's very cold outside."
He Feng followed Uncle Guan into the house and walked straight to the kitchen. He turned around and said to Ma Xin who came with him, "Comrade Ma Xin, please wait here for a while and try the food I cooked later."
Uncle Guan looked at Ma Xin behind He Feng and smiled at him: "Could this be the expert sent by the superiors? He is so young."
He Feng smiled and said, "That's right. You don't know that Comrade Ma Xin is extraordinary. Uncle Guan, you haven't eaten yet, right? Let's eat together."
Uncle Guan was very sensible. He looked at He Feng and shook his head. "No, I've had dinner. I'm old, so I'd better eat less. It's good for my health. I won't be locked. Just lock it when you go out."
He Feng nodded: "Uncle Guan, you should have a good rest."
However, Ma Xin was absent-minded at this time. She was still thinking about Zhao Ying in her mind, so she didn't hear what He Feng said. She just nodded subconsciously and sat down on the stool next to her and started to be in a daze.
He Feng couldn't help but smile when he saw Ma Xin concentrating on thinking about the problem. He thought that this new expert was really serious and responsible about his work! In this case, he couldn't let him work on an empty stomach.
So he turned around, tied on his apron, and began to work in the kitchen. The sound of pots and pans colliding suddenly rang out in the kitchen, like a cheerful symphony.
He Feng stood at the door of the kitchen, looking anxiously at everything in the kitchen. Time was running out, and it was obviously too late to make any complicated dishes at this moment.
After a brief thought, He Feng quickly took out some flour from the cupboard, secretly glad that he could use the flour to make a simple, quick and delicious noodle dish. It can eliminate physical fatigue and fill the rumbling stomach, which is really killing two birds with one stone!
At this time, an interesting and vivid picture appeared in the kitchen. He Feng was busy at the stove, chopping onions and boiling water, his movements were skillful and neat; while Ma Xin was sitting at the dining table, frowning, concentrating on thinking about Zhao Ying's case, and seemed unaware of He Feng's busyness.
Not long after, He Feng brought out two bowls of steaming noodles. One of the bowls was specially topped with two tempting golden fried eggs, because he knew that brain-intensive work such as thinking about cases required nutritional supplements the most.
He Feng walked to Ma Xin with a smile on his face and said softly, "Comrade Ma Xin, take a break first. After all, our ancestors said it well, 'Man is iron and rice is steel, and if you don't eat, you will be hungry.' Come and try the noodles I made, I guarantee that you will be refreshed."
As he spoke, He Feng gently reached out and took the document tightly held in Ma Xin's hand, and said earnestly: "Comrade Ma Xin, work is important, but health is the capital of revolution."
Ma Xin raised her head and looked at He Feng, her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something. But in the end, she just nodded silently and took the bowl of fragrant noodles handed over by He Feng.
"Oh, I never thought that the director of the Public Security Bureau would have such superb cooking skills. It's really rare!" Ma Xin couldn't help but sigh.
He Feng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said softly: "Oh, there's nothing I can do. For a loner like me, I have developed these skills over time." As he spoke, he glanced casually at the food on the table.
At this time, Ma Xin was staring at the two eggs in the bowl in a daze. He looked at He Feng with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "Director He, what on earth are you doing?"
After saying that, Ma Xin subconsciously stretched out his chopsticks, picked up one of the eggs, and prepared to put it in He Feng's bowl.
However, He Feng quickly waved his hand to refuse, and looked at Ma Xin seriously, and slowly said: "Comrade Ma Xin, you are different from me. You are the brainpower of our team, so you naturally need more nutrition than me. In fact, I should have gotten you some milk to go with it, but it is really late now, and there is no time to prepare it. But don't worry, there will definitely be fresh milk tomorrow morning."
Hearing this, Ma Xin hurriedly shook his head and declined, "Director He, please don't make me special. We are all here for work, and no one is more special than anyone else."
He Feng smiled slightly, patted Ma Xin's shoulder gently, and comforted her: "This is not special treatment at all! People with ability and talent certainly deserve special care! Okay, hurry up and eat the noodles while they are hot. If you keep dawdling like this, the noodles will clump together and the taste will be greatly reduced!"
After hearing this, Ma Xin felt a warm current in her heart. She had always considered herself an ordinary soldier, sharing the joys and sorrows with everyone. But now, someone actually cared and took care of her so much, which was undoubtedly an unprecedented experience for her. Thinking of this, her eyes were slightly moist, and her gratitude was beyond words. But she still suppressed her inner touch, nodded silently, and began to eat the noodles in front of her.
