Covered with small flower rolls, stewed in an iron pot, chestnut roast chicken, it comes out of the pot with a fragrant aroma.
As the lid is opened, a wisp of steam mixed with a delicious aroma hits you in the face.
Xu Feng was an impatient person. He leaned his tall body close to the center of the table. The heat and aroma were right in front of his eyes. Before the steam dissipated, he couldn't see clearly what was in the pot, and he started yelling.
"Smells good! It smells really good! It smells so good! It must be delicious!"
After the steam dissipated, I finally saw the chicken nuggets covered with a layer of shiny oil, plump and round chestnuts, and thick soup bubbling.
Just the soup is delicious even when used to soak rice!
Xu Feng swallowed hard.
Lu Zhanlin had seen Chu Yue's cooking skills before, but they were all home-cooked dishes. She could cook big dishes like iron pot stew so perfectly, and she was also able to do two things at the same time, making steamed buns and corn cakes. It was really not easy.
Lu Zhanlin was also surprised in his heart, but he hid it very well on his meticulous and handsome face. When Xu Feng was surprised to the point of widening his eyes, besides looking calm and composed, he also had a hint of pride in his eyes.
Chu Yue called out, "Everyone, eat quickly. The weather is cold and the food won't taste good if it gets cold."
Xu Feng nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, sister-in-law is right. The food will not taste good if it gets cold. Let's eat quickly, eat quickly!"
He, a guest, was more excited than the Lu family of three.
Xu Feng rubbed his hands, picked up the chopsticks anxiously, and went straight to the chicken stewed in the iron pot.
Under the table, Lu Zhanlin kicked Xu Feng's stool.
Xu Feng staggered, and he used the strength of his waist to steady his strong body, but the hand holding the chopsticks tilted in another direction and failed to land on the stew in the iron pot.
He glared in Lu Zhanlin's direction!
What does this mean? Not letting him eat!
He gets angry with anyone who doesn't let him eat!
Lu Zhanlin remained calm and his eyebrows didn't move, as if the person who kicked him in the back was not him.
He reached out with chopsticks, picked up a chicken leg from the pot steadily, put it in Chu Yue's bowl, then picked up another chicken leg and put it in Lu Yuanbao's bowl.
"Eat."
Lu Zhanlin said to Chu Yue and Lu Yuanbao, then extended his hand for the third time.
This time, it is Xu Feng's turn no matter what.
Xu Feng widened his eyes and stared at Lu Zhanlin's chopsticks. He saw him touch the chicken feet first. Xu Feng frowned. What was delicious about something full of bones? Lu Zhanlin had forgotten his comrades-in-arms after getting a wife. He forgot his friends for the sake of a beautiful woman!
Lu Zhanlin changed the direction of his chopsticks and picked up a chicken wing.
Without waiting for Lu Zhanlin to speak, Xu Feng immediately took the bowl and handed it over, "Mine, mine! I knew you wouldn't forget your comrades just because you have a wife. I don't eat chicken legs, I only like chicken wings!"
A beautiful chicken wing just fell into Xu Feng's bowl.
No matter what Lu Zhanlin meant, Xu Feng had already firmly stabilized their friendship.
The chicken was stewed in a large iron pot over a wood fire for nearly forty minutes, and it became soft and tasty, without being too meaty or dry.
You can bite it down and feel the bone right away.
The chicken is chewy and the chestnuts are soft, and they taste soft and chewy when eaten together.
"Delicious! Really delicious, even better than it looks!... The chicken is delicious, the chestnuts are delicious... Is this yam? How can it be so delicious!... Sister-in-law, Lu Zhanlin must have been very lucky to marry you."
Xu Feng took a bite of corn tortilla and a bite of stewed chicken, eating with great relish, smacking his lips non-stop. He praised Chu Yue's cooking skills and made the atmosphere at the dinner table lively.
Lu Zhanlin wanted to stop Xu Feng at first. After all, he was his brother and he had to save some face in front of Chu Yue.
But he couldn't stop her at all. Seeing that Chu Yue was smiling all the time with bright eyes and looked quite happy, he just let Xu Feng do what he wanted.
Xu Feng continued to nag, "Sister-in-law, compared to you, the food made by those people in the kitchen is for feeding pigs, not for human consumption."
Lu Yuanbao frowned and said disapprovingly, "Uncle Xu, I've been to the kitchen, and the pork belly they make is delicious. That's not for feeding pigs. Food is for people to eat, and pig grass is for feeding pigs."
Xu Feng raised his eyebrows, "Wow! You are so young, but you know how to raise pigs? Then tell me, besides pig grass, what else do pigs eat?"
Lu Yuanbao originally raised his hand to take the last small steamed bun, which was soft and fluffy, and tasted especially good after being soaked in the soup. However, because of Xu Feng's sudden interruption, he put his hand down in a daze.
"You can also pour swill when feeding pigs..."
Xu Feng suddenly smiled, reached out and quickly picked up the last small steamed bun, and stuffed two or three bites into his mouth.
By the time Lu Yuanbao reacted, his little flower roll had disappeared!
No more! The last little flower roll is gone!
"Hahahaha...hahaha..." Xu Feng laughed loudly. He was unexpectedly happy that a grown man was bullying a little boy of five or six years old.
Lu Yuanbao's face wrinkled into a bitter gourd, and he looked at Chu Yue with frustration, but he couldn't say anything because he was accidentally "sneak attacked" by Xu Feng.
Chu Yue couldn't help laughing and gave the small flower roll she hadn't eaten yet to Lu Yuanbao, "Yuanbao, I have another one here, give it to you."
"No." Lu Yuanbao shook his head, staring at Chu Yue with his dark eyes, and said seriously, "This is yours, mom. Eat it. The small flower rolls are delicious!"
It’s mom.
This was the first time Lu Yuanbao called Chu Yue "Mom".
It was not a solemn moment, nor was it Chu Yue's request, but at the noisy dinner table, surrounded by Xu Feng's laughter, and under Lu Zhanlin's silent gaze.
In a daily life that can no longer be lived.
Lu Yuanbao blurted out "Mom" without thinking.
Chu Yue also agreed normally and passed the small flower roll to Lu Yuanbao, "Eat it quickly. If you like it, we can make it again tomorrow."
"Uh-huh!"
Lu Yuanbao bit the small steamed bun and nodded his head vigorously.
Lu Zhanlin's eyes were filled with the figures of mother and son.
In the warm and harmonious atmosphere, Xu Feng, a lonely man, was busy eating: What's going on? Why are the steamed buns I snatched no longer fragrant?
…
After dinner, it was Lu Zhanlin who cleaned up the mess as usual.
Xu Feng looked very satisfied after eating. He definitely had enough energy to torture those recruits all night long after going down the mountain. After all, night exercises were a necessary part of recruit training.
As he was leaving, he looked at Chu Yue and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, sister-in-law. I will definitely make up for the wedding gifts for you two later. It's so dark outside, thank you for taking me there."
The burly Xu Feng is not afraid of the dark, but he actually wants Chu Yue to send him off. It sounds strange.
Chu Yue knew that Xu Feng had something to say to her in private.
She agreed, "Okay."
