Chapter 157 Drunk

Huang Boyang frowned, then looked at Gu Yunyi, but did not speak.

Xu Qingmeng couldn't help but raise her head, looked at Gu Yunyi, then looked at the other people, and asked, "Didn't you call them?"

Xu Qingmeng originally thought that when Huang Boyang came, he would definitely not leave Sun Jingyi and the others behind.

Gu Yunyi glanced at Xu Qingmeng and said, "Before I fixed the stove, I went to tell him, but he said he had something to do in the evening and might not come over. I guess he's still busy."

Zhou Yuanjia sighed and said regretfully: "Then he will miss a delicious meal."

After Gu Yunyi said that, everyone stopped worrying about it, and soon, the mutton skewers in Xu Qingmeng's hand were ready.

The lamb skewers are grilled to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and are brushed with Xu Qingmeng's special secret sauce. When you take a bite, the freshness and fragrance are overflowing, without any mutton smell at all. It is so delicious.

Several people held a skewer in their hands, and their eyes narrowed as they watched the delicious food.

"It's fat but not greasy, spicy and fresh, it's absolutely amazing."

"Delicious! Delicious! So delicious!"

Hui Niang smiled and said, "You are about to take the college entrance examination, are these two words the only things you can think of?"

"No matter how much you say at this time, it won't be as real as these two words."

"How do I eat this crayfish? It smells delicious and makes me drool, but I don't know where to start."

Gu Yunyi stared at the bright red shrimp shell in front of him, then pinched the shrimp tail with his hand. The spicy juice suddenly burst out from the crack and splashed on the corner of his mouth, startling him and making him lean back.

"Puchi--" Seeing this, Xu Qingmeng walked over, then picked up a handkerchief and wiped his face, "It should be like this..."

She skillfully unscrewed the shrimp head and handed the snow-white shrimp meat wrapped in sauce to his lips.

Gu Yunyi obviously didn't expect this, but he did not hesitate. He bit down on her hand. The moment the spicy and fresh flavor exploded on his tongue, his eyes suddenly widened.

Everyone followed suit and started eating from the Xiaolong Xi'an basin.

"This barbecue is good, and this crayfish is also very satisfying! Paired with a glass of wine, it's simply perfect."

“It’s just that there’s too little meat.”

When Gu Yunyi heard this, he didn't want them to enslave his wife, so he put down the crayfish in his hand, walked over and took all the skewers.

The meaning was not too obvious, that is, whoever wanted to eat it could grill it themselves. And I had decided from the beginning to let them grill it themselves, so the oven was built long enough, and now there was no shortage of money for charcoal.

Several people had never tried this kind of barbecue before, so they were quite interested in it. They didn't hold back on the saying "a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen" and were all very excited.

Several people started the experiment according to their own preferences.

Xu Qingmeng walked aside to take a rest. As soon as he sat down, a skewer of lamb and a small bowl of peeled lobster meat appeared in front of him.

"Why are there more? Haven't we already divided them? And when did you peel the shrimps?"

Gu Yunyi smiled and said, "When you're not paying attention, try the meat skewers first, then the shrimps, otherwise the meat will get cold and won't taste good."

Xu Qingmeng smiled gently, first took the skewer, and then took a bite.

The inside is very tender and the outside is slightly charred, leaving a lingering fragrance in the mouth. I have never tasted this kind of mutton in my previous life.

Xu Qingmeng suddenly stopped chewing, and the pine smoke mixed with the fruity aroma of yellow tangerine peel flowed between her lips and teeth. In a trance, it overlapped with a late autumn in her memory.

At that time, she had just been kicked out, and was fortunately noticed by the master. Since then, she has been following the master to learn cooking. Whenever she works in the kitchen until very late, the master will hand her roasted meat wrapped in spices like this...

"What's wrong?" Gu Yunyi's fingertips were still stained with shrimp oil. Seeing Xu Qingmeng's dazed expression, he suddenly held her slightly cold hand and asked, "Are you tired?"

At this moment, the sound of clappers rang out in the distance, startling the night owl perched under the eaves.

When Xu Qingmeng came back to her senses, she saw Gu Yunyi looking at her nervously.

She smiled knowingly: "No, it was just too good, I was stunned for a moment."

Gu Yunyi wanted her to eat more every day. Finally, he saw that she liked something, so he quickly said, "Then I'll grill some more. You sit down and rest for a while."

"good."

They had agreed to take a break, but the group of people working were all laymen. Only Fang Ziheng and Gu Yunyi had decent skills and were not as flustered as the others.

The rest of the people either asked her if it was time to sprinkle seasoning, or forgot to flip the dishes and didn't realize it until they smelled burnt, and then they asked her to instruct them one by one.

However, everyone was enjoying the meal, but a lot of food was wasted. Fortunately, the two pots of crayfish saved them from having nothing to eat.

Finally, the group of people became more and more interested as they drank and ate. Zhou Yuanjia and Huang Boyang even started playing finger-guessing games and composing poems, which made the atmosphere even more lively.

Even someone as rational as Gu Yunyi drank a lot in this lively atmosphere.

The few of them kept making noise like this until very late, when they finally stopped and went back to their rooms. Xu Qingmeng and Hui Niang didn't want to clean up the mess in the yard.

The two men seemed to have a tacit understanding. When they sobered up tomorrow, they both wanted to let the grown men clean up and then close the door to rest.

Gu Yunyi drank a lot of wine, his cheeks were red, but his eyes were still clear, just his reaction was a little slow.

After Gu Yunyi was helped into the house by Xu Qingmeng, he did not act crazy after being drunk. Instead, he sat obediently beside the table like a child.

He let Xu Qingmeng bring him water to wipe his hands and face, and he was very obedient no matter what she asked him to do, but his eyes kept moving as she walked.

He never let Xu Qingmeng out of his sight.

After Xu Qingmeng cleaned up for him and poured the water, she returned to the room and saw Gu Yunyi still sitting next to the table.

She looked at him in surprise: "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

The man didn't respond, he just stared at her.

Xu Qingmeng was stunned for a moment, then walked over to him, "Are you really drunk? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No." Gu Yunyi shook his head like a rattle.

Xu Qing dreamed that he could still talk to her and answer her, so he thought he was still awake.

"Then go to sleep, go lie down on the bed?"

Gu Yunyi looked childish and innocent, "Sway, I can't leave."

As the moonlight streamed through the window lattice, Gu Yunyi grasped Xu Qingmeng's sleeve stubbornly.

The candlelight brewed two pools of amber honey in his eyes. The usually dignified and serious scholar now tilted his head, with a green bamboo headband hanging on his shoulders, revealing a bit of boyish childishness.
