Chapter 289: Every Year Has This Day

Yu Zhiyu moved all the chairs and benches from Chen Yechu's side and placed the two tables side by side, making the space on the table wider enough to accommodate the five of them.

It was gradually getting dark. In order to avoid being unable to see when it was completely dark and making it inconvenient to eat, Ning Xiyue took two candles and lit them on the table.

Two candles were lit, and the flickering candlelight instantly illuminated the dining table.

The delicious food on the table is clearly visible.

"Everyone sit down to eat, this table of food is making me drool."

Ning Xiyue asked everyone to sit on the benches quickly, and she ran into the kitchen in a hurry.

"Hey, sister, what are you doing? You asked us to sit down but you ran away." Ning Qingyuan shouted towards the kitchen.

"I'll be right there."

Ning Xiyue ran into the kitchen and took out the jar of rice wine. She then took out a kettle with a long small spout to serve as a temporary wine jug, filled it with wine, sealed the jar of rice wine and put it back where it was.

He took out five shot glasses and ran out, handing one out to each person.

"How can we have such a rich meal tonight without drinking? The alcohol content is very low, only nine degrees, so don't worry about getting drunk. Let's eat and drink to our heart's content tonight."

"Then I have to drink more today. I heard you say that rice wine is a tonic and wine lees are good things. This authentic rice wine must be better. Pour me a glass first."

Chen Yechu enthusiastically handed the wine glass to Ning Xiyue and gestured to pour a glass for her to taste.

"Okay, I'll pour it for you first."

Ning Xiyue took the kettle and poured it out. The aroma of wine poured out from the small mouth of the kettle, and a sweet smell spread.

Chen Yetu stared at the wine being poured without blinking, and felt more distressed than she did when a drop of wine spilled on the ground.

"Slow down, slow down, don't spill it on the ground. Okay, don't pour it, it's full."

"Try it quickly." Ning Xiyue looked at Chen Yechu holding the kettle.

Chen Yechu held the wine glass and couldn't wait to take a sip. After swallowing the wine, he squinted his eyes and exclaimed: "Ah, it tastes good."

"As long as it tastes good, I have plenty here."

Ning Xiyue picked up the kettle and poured everyone a glass of wine before sitting down.

Everyone took a sip of the wine and sighed with satisfaction.

Ning Xiyue raised her glass, looked at everyone and said, "Come on, let's have a toast. I hope we can have this day every year."

"Well, may this day come true every year. Cheers."

The five of them stood up happily and clinked their glasses together.

"Eat your food."

Ning Xiyue started to eat the lobster that she had been thinking about for a long time but had not yet eaten.

When Chen Yetu saw her eating crayfish, he quickly introduced the two plates on the table.

"Today I fried two flavors of lobster. This one is garlic lobster, not very spicy, and this one is spicy crayfish, a little spicy. It depends on whether you like it spicy or not. They are two different flavors, and they taste better when eaten with the oil below. I'll teach you how to eat them."

As she spoke, she took a spicy crayfish in her hand and taught everyone how to eat the meat.

"I like the ones with garlic paste. One bite of garlic paste for each shrimp, it's so delicious."

Liu Yao tasted it when she first started frying it. She has a special liking for garlic and her favorite is garlic crayfish. Now her chopsticks are reaching straight for the crayfish coated with garlic.

When Ning Qingyuan and Yu Zhiyu heard them talking about crayfish, they curiously reached out their chopsticks to taste the crayfish to see what this food, which they were eating for the first time, tasted like.

The lobster that Ning Xiyue was holding was the spicy crayfish.

She looked at the shrimp in her hand. It was handled so cleanly and thoroughly. The head was cut off, the gills on both sides were removed, the shrimp thread was removed, the meatless feet were removed, and even a slit was made on the back.

The shrimps were processed so delicately that she had never eaten anything so delicately. Only the meat was left in the whole shrimp. She could eat one in one bite. It was very convenient to eat and very tasty.

She dipped the water in the soup at the bottom of the bowl, which made it more flavorful. It wasn't very spicy, but it needed this level of spiciness to cook the flavor into the lobster meat.

"Delicious, this lobster is so delicious."

Ning Xiyue gave a thumbs up in praise, and quickly stretched out her chopsticks to the garlic shrimp, picking up the one with the most garlic. Garlic-flavored food requires more garlic to be flavorful.

She picked up the food and sipped the soup with satisfaction in the bowl. Her eyes lit up. The garlic sauce tasted good, with moderate spiciness, comparable to the spicy crayfish. The two different feelings were perfect for someone like her who liked strong tastes.

The two plates of lobster tasted better than the ones she had eaten in the roadside lobster restaurant before.

As expected, she is the heroine who can capture the male lead’s stomach, her skills are superb.

She can also get some delicious food.

Ning Xiyue looked at Chen Yechu with sparkling eyes and said:

"I like both. They both taste delicious. Ye Chu, if you have any special delicacies in the future, please tell us. I will be responsible for going out to find the ingredients, and you will be responsible for cooking. The food from nature tastes amazing when you cook it."

"I can also help find ingredients. I'm pretty good at it. I caught a lot of lobsters today. Mm, they're so delicious." Liu Yao said while gnawing on a lobster with one hand and raising the other, as if she was afraid that she would be a step slower.

"You can call me." Yu Zhiyu looked at Chen Yetu with a smile in his eyes and raised his hand.

Ning Qingyuan, who was drinking, put down his glass and raised his hand silently, "Add me one."

"Okay, I'll tell you what ingredients I come across next time, and we can bring them back and cook them together like we did today. There are so many delicious foods in these mountains and rivers."

Chen Yechu was very happy that his cooking skills were recognized. He smiled and pointed at the dishes on the table: "Let's eat quickly. There are more. Eat the snails. There are toothpicks here. Use the toothpicks to pick them out. I'll show you how."

Chen Yetu picked up a toothpick from the table, then picked up a snail to demonstrate to everyone how to eat snails quickly and conveniently.

Ning Xiyue acted as if she knew nothing like her second brother and stared at Chen Yechu's movements carefully, trying to learn how to eat snail meat.

The snail's tail has been cut off, and it tastes very tasty. This dish is indeed the most choking one when fried.

Her choking was not in vain. The spiciness in the oil was so great that you had to dip it in a little water to suppress the spiciness. The snails tasted just right when eaten without dipping them in oil.

After eating the snails, Ning Xiyue turned her attention to the drunken shrimps. Some of the crystal clear shrimps in the bowl were still jumping around in the bowl.

Under the curious gaze of everyone, Ning Xiyue picked one up and put it in her mouth, chewing it.

"How is it?" Liu Yao was eager to try it, but she was a little scared when she saw the shrimps still moving inside, and she didn't dare to make a move.

She had never eaten anything alive.

"Delicious, the seasoning is well added and tastes good, try it yourself."

Ning Xiyue gave her an affirmative look, encouraging her to pick one up and give it a try.

Liu Yao was afraid of the alive things, but she really wanted to try it, so she picked up an unmoving millet shrimp and put it into her mouth. She was very careful and chewed it twice with her eyes closed. Suddenly she found that it tasted good, and she overcame her psychological barrier and ate it with gusto.

And he picked up another one to eat.

Ning Xiyue smiled and said, "No need to ask, just this action shows that you think it tastes good."

"Yes, it's delicious. The flavor is really good. And the shrimp doesn't taste fishy at all. It tastes sweet. You guys should try it too."

Ning Qingyuan picked up a deep-fried shrimp and put it in the bowl. He ate the shrimp and said, "I made the drunken shrimp. I've eaten it before. If it tastes bad, I won't serve it. You can eat it without worry."

Liu Yao also picked up the shrimps in the bowl and handed them to Yu Zhiyu and Chen Yechu. She really wanted to recommend it to others so that they would like it too.

Following her recommendation, others followed her lead and tried some, and they all thought it was delicious.

The Amway promotion was very successful, which made Liu Yao very happy. She danced with joy and kept smiling on her face.

It’s just like kids sharing their favorite food and feeling happy when their friends like it.

Ning Xiyue smiled and shook her head. She took a sip of rice wine and picked up a piece of stir-fried river clams on the table that she had not tasted yet.

"Um-"

Ning Xiyue frowned, made a sound in her mouth, and her chewing movements slowed down.
