Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 126 Emergency Dinner

"You can only use fists and cloth to bully me! Do you still want to play now?"

Mo Ke popped up from the side and yelled: "We are the ones who go out to enjoy the beautiful afternoon tea. You can only clean up the ashes at home, meow haha!"

"afternoon tea?"

Lin Xiaolu glanced at it, and said nonchalantly: "Anyway, it's Xia Liang who is chatting happily with her classmates, so why don't you be the air by the side?"

"And even if you don't play boxing games, don't you still have to hang out every afternoon? Isn't going out with Xia Liang just a change of place?"

"How do you talk!"

Mo Ke suddenly blew his beard and stared at his eyes: "How many times do I have to say, I am the work of the sower!"

"The sower's job is to go to the orphanage and expose the black information about his companion to the little girl who knows nothing?"

Lin Xiaolu squinted her eyes: "It's really good, as expected of you, big liar."

"What orphanage are you talking about? I haven't been there for a long time..."

Mo Ke subconsciously opened his mouth to refute, but suddenly realized what Lin Xiaolu meant. After a pause, he looked at Bai Jingxuan, "Xiaoxuan?"

All I got was Bai Jingxuan's embarrassed smile:

"Sorry, is this something that can't be said?"

When cleaning the living room in the afternoon, she and Lin Xiaolu talked about their past experiences, and she casually told Lin Xiaolu what happened when Mo Ke and herself first met.And Lin Xiaolu didn't have any obvious reaction during the listening process, so Bai Jingxuan didn't realize that what she said was equivalent to selling Moco.

It's not just that I can't say it.

Mo Ke really wanted to yell like this, but it was too late, so he could only look towards Lin Xiaolu stiffly.

"What's wrong? What are you doing so far away from me?"

Lin Xiaolu crossed her hips and stared at Mo Ke: "I heard you still want to play guessing games? Come closer to me."

Mo Ke flapped his wings and took two steps back: "Meow haha, I don't want to play meow anymore."

"Don't want to play?"

With a sneer, Lin Xiaolu raised her fist: "That's not okay, now I want to continue guessing with you, I use my hands, you use your face."

Mo Ke shuddered all over, and retreated a bit: "That's not a guessing game! Meow!"

After saying that, it turned around and flew between the stairs, fleeing towards the basement.

"Don't run! Stop!" Lin Xiaolu yelled to catch up with it, and rushed downstairs together with it.

Bai Jingxuan and Xia Liang who stayed in the living room just watched the two fight as soon as they met, and now they ran away without a trace, so they could only look at each other helplessly.

"Forget about those two childish ghosts, let's pack up the things we bought and put them in the refrigerator." Xia Liang said with a smile.

The two of them returned to the kitchen together and began to deal with the large and small plastic bags that had piled up in the kitchen.

Opening these plastic bags, Bai Jingxuan looked at the fresh vegetables packaged in them. At first she didn't think it was special, but after taking a closer look, she subconsciously exclaimed: "Sister Xia Liang, the vegetables you picked are of high quality!"

Because the vegetables in the plastic bags are all in good condition, even the worst ones are at least good ones.

"I'm still somewhat confident about this."

Xia Liang said proudly: "After all, I have lived alone for a long time, and I am proficient in basic life skills such as grocery shopping and cooking."

"It's amazing!" Bai Jingxuan praised earnestly, "I also have to study hard."

"It's a pity that I was only asked to buy vegetables near noon." Xia Liang neatly tidied up the refrigerator, "The batch with the best quality has already been picked out in advance."

—— "But I don't remember that the grocery shopping appointment took four or five hours."

Lin Xiaolu's voice suddenly sounded above the two of them, and she was holding a Moco in one hand and walking forward with her other hand on her hips: "Bai Jingxuan and I can only eat takeaway for lunch!"

"Even if you really buy vegetables as quickly as possible, you still won't have time to make lunch."

Xia Liang smiled helplessly: "And I've already sent you a message to tell you that I won't be back at noon."

"You just want to eat takeaway!" Mo Ke, who was caught in her hand, shouted, "Heavy oil and salt, you will get acne sooner or later!"

"You don't need to worry about it!" Lin Xiaolu stretched out her hand and rubbed its head vigorously, saying angrily.

After venting her emotions, she put Moco aside, squatted in front of the plastic bag on the ground, grabbed the edge of the bag, checked the contents, and looked up:
"Speaking of which, they are all fresh and seasonal vegetables, and there are no pre-made vegetables in them."

"You didn't say you wanted to buy prepared dishes."

Stuffing the vegetables in his hand into the refrigerator, Xia Liang turned around and said, "Always eating industrial products is not good for your health. It's safe to do it yourself."

Lin Xiaolu didn't respond to her, but was still looking for something in the bag. After a while, she threw the bag aside and asked, "So, where's our dinner?"

"dinner?"

Xia Liang blinked her eyes twice, not knowing how to reply for a moment.

"Did I tell you before you went? Let you bring back something you can eat directly at night."

Lin Xiaolu folded her arms around her chest: "Now, where's our dinner?"

This passage finally revived Xia Liang's memory, and she followed suit to look into the plastic bag. She was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ah, I forgot!"

"You really forgot!"

Lin Xiaolu stretched out her finger and pointed at her: "I also said that playing with my classmates is fine, isn't that a big problem!"

"Hmm... I can't refute it." Xia Liang said honestly with her head downcast.

"Now, tell me, Yushan Shangshu!"

Lin Xiaolu stretched out her hand and knocked on the refrigerator door, pointing to Mo Ke who had just received a lesson: "Where is my dinner? Be careful I will kill your head!"

"Reporting to the emperor, this humble official deserves death."

Xia Liang smiled awkwardly, followed Lin Xiaolu's words and cupped her hands: "I also ask the emperor to give me a chance to make up for my mistakes, so I will do it."

"Okay, I want to eat bird's nest chicken soup, sea cucumber braised pork tendon, fish tongue stewed bear's paw!"

Withdrawing her hand, Lin Xiaolu announced the names of several dishes in a loud voice: "If you don't see these dishes in the meeting, I will kill your head!"

Xia Liang looked at the vegetables he bought, confirmed the gap between reality and ideals, and could only wipe the sweat off his forehead: "Reporting to the emperor, it is really hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and a humble minister can't do it."

"behead!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

"...Well, I don't know if I should talk about it or not."

Bai Jingxuan at the side looked at the small theater that they didn't know, raised a hand, and said in a weak voice: "It's already 06:30."

And her words, as if winding up a toy, made the other two look at her together.

"06:30?"

"06:30!"

The two made a sound of alarm together.

The reason why they reacted so strongly at this time was because it represented one thing - Hong Siyu was coming soon.

Since Delphinium left Fangting City and arranged for Hong Siyu to take care of them, every day, between six o'clock and seven o'clock, Hong Siyu who got off work would make a special trip to the secret base.

And if Hong Siyu arrives and finds that the children haven't had dinner yet...

"Is there still time to make dinner?"

After exclaiming, Lin Xiaolu asked in a daze.

"It's about half an hour, if it's simpler?"

Xia Liang fiddled with the pile of ingredients under his hands in a bit of embarrassment: "The cooking time for noodles should be shorter, right?"

"Then how long will it take for that girl...Hong Siyu to come over?"

"According to her off-duty time, I'm afraid it will be 10 minutes at most. If it was earlier, it would have arrived by now, right?"

After Xia Liang finished speaking, she realized something and stopped abruptly.She stared fixedly at the ingredients in front of her, and then exchanged glances with Lin Xiaolu.

The two of them didn't say anything, but the meaning expressed in their eyes was the same: big trouble.

During the days of taking care of the three little ones, Hong Siyu walked into the kitchen with confidence a few times, but the result she finally made caused the girls to invite her out of the kitchen again.

It can only be said that when it comes to cooking, Hong Siyu's enthusiasm is worthy of recognition, and there is nothing else to recommend.

Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang had a long-standing experience with her cooking skills, so they had long been on guard against her cooking products, but Mo Ke was different. After drinking the soup from Hongsi and Shao without any precautions, it directly threw a head He fell on the dining table and was moved to the side to lie down for a while before recovering.

Only Bai Jingxuan, for some reason, was able to endure the completely out-of-balance meal, and finished it with a calm face.

But since then, Lin Xiaolu, Xia Liang, and Mo Ke have all strongly opposed Hong Si and going in and out of the secret base's kitchen.

It's a pity that even though they had already explained the reason to Hong Siyu, saying that her cooking skills were very problematic, they still couldn't stop Hong Siyu's enthusiasm.

In response to the objections of the three, Hongsiyu became more frustrated and courageous, showing an attitude of "accepting the challenge", and went home to conduct some cooking research and improvement.Then, without knowing what she was studying, she announced that she had "completed evolution", and walked into the kitchen again regardless of the obstruction.

The result was a table of even more unpalatable dishes.

This time, facing the dishes she cooked, even Bai Jingxuan began to show embarrassment.

The level of cooking skills is so stable, naturally, everyone does not want Hong Siyu to continue cooking.

However, in the current situation, if the dinner is not ready, there is no guarantee that Hong Siyu, who came to take care of the girls, will not come to the house on a whim, and expresses that he will show his hand.

Lin Xiaolu didn't want to be exposed by her.

"What should I do? Or order takeaway?" Taking out her phone and opening the ordering software, Lin Xiaolu stammered, "Come on, is it too late? How about I just transform and fly over to pick up the food?"

"Don't think about your takeaway at this time."

With a helpless smile, Xia Liang began to take off his coat: "Forget it, I wanted to go home and rest, but now I can only do it myself."

"Is it enough for one person?"

Lin Xiaolu suggested with some concern, "May I help too?"

"It's the best help you don't make trouble." Xia Liang walked into the kitchen, took out the sleeves and put them on his arms, and walked to the stove: "I want you to help me when you pass me something."

"This little thing? No problem!" Lin Xiaolu was full of confidence.

"Why don't you let me come..." Bai Jingxuan wanted to follow the kitchen, but was stopped by Lin Xiaolu outside the kitchen.

"Hot oil and knives are too dangerous, just wait until we finish!" This is her rhetoric.

And as the work in the kitchen started, Xia Liang also got busy in front of the stove.

As for Lin Xiaolu, at first she was honestly waiting for Xia Liang to assign her a job, but as time passed, she found that she didn't seem to have much use for her.

Bored, she could only stand behind Xia Liang and point at the work in her hand:

"Is there too much water here?"

"The shredded cabbage must be too thick and messy."

"It feels like the eggs aren't beaten evenly enough."

"The ingredient soup is so monotonous, it doesn't feel as good as delphinium..."

boom!
Xia Liang slammed the spatula in his hand on the cutting board beside him, and turned his head. Although there was a smile on his face, there was no smile in his eyes: "Shut up."

Lin Xiaolu immediately shrank her head like a frightened quail.

Work in the kitchen continued.

In this way, Xia Liang acted at the fastest speed. In just over ten minutes, a simple noodle was ready. Two girls came out of the kitchen with the cooked noodles and returned to the restaurant.

"Fortunately, that woman... Hong Siyu came late today." Lin Xiaolu let out a long sigh of relief while supporting the bowl with both hands, "If she insists on getting involved, it will be troublesome."

"You didn't play any role by the side, did you?"

Xia Liang narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "Next time if you talk too much in the kitchen, it's better to find out who owns the knife."

"Got it..."

Lin Xiaolu responded in a muffled voice, stretched out her chopsticks and stirred the bowl, picked out a bunch of noodles, and sucked them into her mouth.

Then, her complexion became extremely weird.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Liang was a little strange, took a sip of noodles, and then his expression became subtle: "...ah, no salt?"

"Why is it a question sentence?" Lin Xiaolu knocked on the edge of the bowl angrily.

"Because I did it so quickly, I even forgot what I did..." Xia Liang pursed her lips.

Lin Xiaolu was silent for a moment, and finally put down the chopsticks in her hand: "Decapitate!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

On the side, Bai Jingxuan silently watched the interaction between the two, and after eating the noodles expressionlessly, she suddenly said, "Speaking of which, sister Hong hasn't come here yet? It's much later than usual."

"Maybe it's a work issue."

After finding a few cans of pickles from the refrigerator, Lin Xiaolu said nonchalantly, "If you don't come, then don't come."

"Don't say that, at least she has prepared dinner for her, so let's send a message and ask."

Xia Liang said so, turned on the phone to edit the message, and sent it to Hong Siyu. After a while, the phone vibrated, obviously getting a reply.

"What did she say?" Lin Xiaolu asked.

"Let me see……"

Xia Liang flicked the phone screen: "She said she might not be able to come tonight because she has to work overtime."

"Why?" Lin Xiaolu lowered her head to deal with the cap of the pickle bottle.

——"Is it because of the recent exam by the Bureau of Different Strategies?"

—— "She said that the Bureau of Different Strategies is about to take a recruitment exam, and she wants to participate in writing the questions."

The two voices sounded almost at the same time, but they came from two different people.

Xia Liang read out the content of the text message, but found that she was not the only one talking, and looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Bai Jingxuan also said similar content at the same time.

"Does Xiaoxuan know?" Putting down her phone, she asked with some doubts.

"Yes."

Bai Jingxuan nodded: "Because someone I know told me."

"Who? People from the orphanage?"

"It's a nurse at the orphanage."

Bai Jingxuan lowered her head and replied in a low voice: "Sisters should have seen him before."

"Have we met him?" Xia Liang tilted her head.

"It was the time when bad guys came to the orphanage to make trouble." Bai Jingxuan continued to explain, "The uncle who was with me at that time was him."

"I seem to have a little impression?" Lin Xiaolu nodded her chin.

"It's that rude guy!" Mo Ke, who was sitting behind Bai Jingxuan, clasped his arms and said.

"Well, I met him when I went back to the orphanage, so I had a brief chat."

Bai Jingxuan nodded: "He said that he is preparing for the exam recently. If he passes, he will not come to work in the orphanage in the future."

"Is the job in the Bureau of Different Strategies good?" Finally twisting open the jar of pickles in her hand, Lin Xiaolu put it on the table and looked at Bai Jingxuan: "What do you mean, the exam to work in the Bureau of Different Strategies is very difficult look?"

The result was silence.

Because no matter Bai Jingxuan or Xia Liang, they all looked at her with the eyes of an alien creature.

"Did you not listen to what sister Hong said at all?"

Not long after, Xia Liang was the first to explain: "Different Strategy Bureau, but ordinary magic is the best job!"

"The best job? It's obviously a group of people responsible for repairing the city?" Lin Xiaolu blinked.

"They still have to be responsible for managing the magical personnel other than the beasts and magical girls."

Xia Liang smiled dryly: "You are too contemptuous of people when you say this."

"Hey... So, it is actually a very difficult thing for that uncle to take the exam?"

After picking out a pinch of pickles and lifting them along with the noodles, Lin Xiaolu said without any ups and downs, "Then wish him success in the exam."

　I fell asleep while writing groggyly yesterday, and then I had something to do during the day on Sunday, so I didn’t have time to make up the update.

　　In the future, if the update is really too late, I will send a notice in the book review area, I am really sorry.
