Chapter 1475 Green Bean Soup

After that, Gen became what she is now, as if some kind of belief collapsed in her heart.

In midsummer in New York, the outdoor temperature was at least 30 degrees Celsius during the day. Although Jack prepared a straw hat for Gen, the scorching sun still made her face red.

"She looked like she was going to have a heat stroke."

Hannah had a general understanding of what Gen had done before. Seeing her face covered with tears and sweat, although she couldn't say that she had sympathy for her, she knew the reasons why her personality had become so extreme.

"It's okay, I cooked lily and mung bean soup." Jack opened the refrigerator and took out a pot of lily and mung bean soup.

The edible lily is also known as the "Tiger Lily" or the "Tiger Lily" because its petals curl up when it blooms and have purple-black spots similar to those on a tiger's body.

The Latin name of this lily plant, which is native to Seres, is "Lilium lancifolium Ker Gawl", and it is simply called "Tiger lily" in English.

The scaly rhizome of this lily is edible, and when dried it becomes a Chinese medicinal material. When fresh, you can cook soup with mung beans, and then add some mint and rock sugar to make it a top-notch summer remedy.

The only things you could find in the Chinese medicine store in Chinatown were dried lily petals, but that didn't bother Jack, as the tiger lily itself was an ornamental plant that was grown in the botanical garden on Staten Island.

Jack had made it several times before, and considering that Americans had difficulty pronouncing it, he simply named it "Lily's Mung Bean Soup."

"Ms. Groves, please come in and rest for a while." The beautiful and kind-hearted Hannah served a bowl, but did not rush to enjoy it. Instead, she opened the screen door and waved to Gen.

Gen, who was feeling hot, washed his hands under the faucet for a long time, and frowned when he looked at the still black gaps between his nails.

Although she was once a small town girl in rural Texas, she had never had the experience of helping her parents work on the ranch since she was a child like Hannah.

Hannah couldn't help but shake her head and laugh when she saw her silly look. She walked quickly to the bathroom and came out with an old toothbrush. She dipped it in water, scraped it back and forth on the soap a few times, and handed it to her.

Seeing Gen looking at her blankly, Hannah shook her head helplessly, grabbed her hand, and carefully used a toothbrush to brush away the dirt between her nails like a patient kindergarten teacher.

In a manner that was not in keeping with her ladylike temperament, Gen finished the bowl of bean soup, which tasted a little new to her, in one gulp, licked her lips subconsciously, and looked eagerly at the soup pot next to Jack.

"You can drink the rest in the evening. You need some salt now."

Jack placed a cup of warm water with salt in front of her. Gen frowned and looked at the cup for a long time, then drank the water in the cup reluctantly.

She did not take the opportunity to enjoy the coolness in the air-conditioned room. After drinking, she stood up without saying a word, put on her straw hat again, and went out to work.

Hannah rubbed her eyes in disbelief, and waited until Gen's back disappeared behind the screen door before she whispered to Jack, "I know you're always good with girls, but is it okay with someone like her?"

Jack almost choked to death on a mouthful of mung bean soup. "This has nothing to do with me. I just put some facts in front of her."

He briefly recounted to Hannah what happened after the secret meeting yesterday. The girl blinked in confusion, "Does Mr. Finch know that you can communicate directly with his 'machine' baby?"

Jack chuckled and raised his index finger to gently press on the girl's red lips. "Shh, this is a secret. We can't let Finch know about it now. We will give him a big surprise in the future."

Hannah grimaced in return, "I hope Mr. Finch's heart will be able to bear it by then."

-

One evening a week later, when Finch and Reese completed their recent "Number" mission and came to the small building at the base for a meal, they were stunned by the scene before them.

Ms. Gen, who originally had fair skin and a slim figure, has become visibly rounder, and her skin color has turned into the wheat color that many European and American women desire. She was having fun playing with her dog "Little Bear" in the yard with a frisbee.

"What did you do to her?" Reese looked at Jack with horror, "Some kind of evil brainwashing technology?"

"Although you have a talent for dry jokes, you should save them for Jessica." Jack said unhappily, "Ms. Gen just untied some knots in her heart and has a new goal to strive for."

"So the method of using silver needles dozens of inches long to prick people is really a treatment method rather than torture?" Reese continued to use his talent for dry humor.

Jack raised his hand to signal that the guy was almost done. "Finch has finally made up his mind to accept treatment. Don't pour cold water on him anymore."

Reese curled his lips in disdain. "Actually, there's nothing wrong with him staying like this. He already has a fiancée anyway, which means that when they meet again, Finch no longer needs to kneel down on one knee to present the red-haired lady with an engagement ring."

"Mr. Reese." Finch, who was exposed, raised his voice in anger, "If you don't want Jessica to know about your affair with the daughter of a Brazilian diplomat."

Reese interrupted Finch's next words with a loud cough. He not only took the initiative to open the door for him, but also made a polite gesture of invitation. "I can already smell the delicious aroma of stew. Finch, you must be starving, right?"

"What Brazilian diplomat's daughter?" Jessica, Reese's white moonlight, who would have been separated from Reese forever if Jack hadn't intervened, was serving the dishes. When she saw everyone enter the room, she turned around and smiled sweetly, just like a virtuous hostess.

Reese broke out in a cold sweat and quickly explained, "It's just a girl who is in danger. She was hunted down by many people, including her boyfriend, because she accidentally photographed a drug deal at a party.

In fact, it was Detective Fusco who saved the girl at the last minute and stopped the killer, and I just made a small and insignificant contribution. "

Detective "Dou Dou" was already waiting impatiently at the dining table. When he heard this, he rarely took credit for himself as usual, but waved his hands humbly.

"If it wasn't for the reminder from the man with glasses (Finch), I almost missed it. The man in the suit showed up like a knight as always, knocked over the killer with his car at the critical moment, and taught Sofia a lesson for her bastard boyfriend afterwards."

"Oh, Sophia, that sounds like a beautiful name." Jessica deliberately placed a plate of fragrant, golden-roasted roast chicken in front of Fusco and winked at him playfully.

"Well, it's a beautiful name, and she's beautiful too. Not only does she know six languages, but she's only 6, which is the most youthful age, and she has a figure like a model." Fusco sold out Reese completely.
