Wei Jiahong, who was sleeping at the time, vaguely heard someone say, "Xiao Fang, you're here."
He rolled over, ready to continue his sweet dream.
However, the next second, he suddenly sprang up from the bed.
Xiao Fang?
Isn't it Fang Yan?
Yes, although he forcefully suppressed the slight flutter in his heart.
He is usually very busy with work and doesn't have time to think about things he shouldn't be thinking about.
At this moment, his body reacted before his brain did—he wanted to see Fang Yan.
Come to think of it, it's been more than half a month since I last saw Fang Yan.
Even though he considered Fang Yan just a friend, he still kind of wanted to see her.
It's mainly her sunny, positive, and elegant temperament that makes people feel comfortable just looking at her.
She was, after all, a girl I had feelings for.
Before entering the room, Wei Jiahong, who was already in his thirties, dressed up like a lovesick young man.
Saying I'm dressing up actually just means making myself look neat and presentable, unlike usual when I wake up and come out of my room with my hair all messed up like a bird's nest.
That's why he came out so late, giving Old Master Shen the opportunity to set his sights on his flesh.
Grandpa Shen and the others failed to divide up Wei Jiahong's share of meat, and watched as the Wei father and son each carried a large bag of meat.
They were so envious and jealous that they were almost twisted.
Then they prepared to launch a "group attack" against Old Master Wei.
Because Wei Jiahong closed the door, even if they wanted to forcibly take it, they couldn't get in.
"Whoever dares to touch me! Whoever dares to touch me, I'll never speak to them again!"
Grandpa Wei stared warily at his four old friends as if they were his family's heirloom, saying, "Have you thought this through? Xiao Fang was the first person I met, and he's my friend!"
"If you dare steal my meat, I'll make sure she never cooks for you again. I bet you'll be drooling with envy!"
Fang Yan, who tried to minimize her presence and watch the show from the shore but was dragged into the water: ...
Old Master Wei's blustering yet cowardly demeanor, coupled with his words, gave the impression of a child who, knowing he would lose, stubbornly stubbornly tried to intimidate his opponent with his bravado.
However, he was indeed a seasoned veteran who had spent his entire life navigating the treacherous waters of officialdom.
This move indeed intimidated Old Master Shen and the others.
Of course, having retired from the complex world of officialdom, the likes of Mr. Shen are not so easily intimidated.
Instead, after Old Master Wei finished speaking, the group quickly thought about it for a moment.
They unanimously agreed that Old Master Wei's words might not have been entirely meant to bluff them.
In terms of personal relationships, Fang Yan and Lao Wei are definitely closer.
I heard that last time, to save Fang Yan, Lao Wei even had to use some of his connections.
If Lao Wei tells Fang Yan to stop selling them delicious food.
Fang Yan might listen to him.
After experiencing it firsthand for some time, Grandpa Shen and the others realized that Fang Yan was an absolute treasure when it came to cooking.
Who knows how many more amazing skills she has yet to reveal?
If from now on they can only watch Lao Wei eat and drink well, how miserable would they be?
After weighing the options, Old Master Shen and his group gave up their plan to use barbaric methods of force and encirclement to divide up Old Master Wei's flesh.
However, they did have a condition: "You have to share this meat with us."
Grandpa Shen and the other three men adopted a stance that suggested they would eat at Grandpa Shen's house today, and made their request.
Having known them for decades, Old Master Wei knew their appetites very well.
If they stay for dinner today, not a single piece of meat in this bag, whether braised or dried, will survive the night.
"No, our family is at home today..."
Old Master Wei paused for a moment before managing to say, "The pot is broken, so I can't cook rice and can't entertain you."
So, you should all go home now.
Old Master Wei, wanting to sabotage the friendship again, issued an order to leave.
It is said that those who share the same stench can become friends.
Therefore, how could Old Master Shen and his group be fooled away by Old Master Wei's lame excuse?
"It's alright, you just need to contribute the meat in your arms, and I'll provide the rice."
"I'm in charge of serving two other dishes."
"I'm in charge of providing the alcohol."
"I'll be responsible for providing the soup."
The other four old men countered each move with their own strategies.
Fang Yan, watching from the side, suppressed a laugh: ...
Little Fish watched Grandpa Wei and the others with wide eyes, seemingly afraid that the five old men would start fighting.
Facing four opponents, including four old friends with similar intelligence, Old Master Wei was finally defeated.
He agreed to contribute all the braised meat, and half of the beef jerky and pork jerky.
Seeing Old Master Wei tearing his flesh apart as if his heart were bleeding, Fang Yan couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Grandpa Wei, I still have more than two pounds of beef left. I asked someone to freeze it for me. In a few days, when the weather gets a little cooler, we'll have a beef hot pot together."
This time, not only Grandpa Wei, but also Grandpa Shen and the others all rushed to Fang Yan's side, asking, "Little Fang, is your beef hot pot delicious?"
"Xiao Fang, do we need to prepare anything else for our beef hot pot? If so, please don't hesitate to let us know, and we'll prepare it for you."
...
"You guys are blocking my way!"
Grandpa Wei brushed them aside and approached Fang Yan. "Little Fang, are you serious? List out everything we need so we can prepare in advance."
"The most important thing about the ingredients is freshness. We can prepare them after we've set the time. There's no rush."
Fang Yan felt that these five old men were really as cute as old children.
Only a child would get this excited over a bite to eat.
"By the way, when does He Ming get his vacation? Let's invite him to have hot pot together then!"
She remembered that she had promised Wei Heming that she would prepare another delicious meal for him.
At the same time, she thought that maybe one day, Zhang Jizhou would suddenly call and ask her to go and join the army.
To avoid breaking her promise, Fang Yan felt it would be better to put this matter on the agenda as soon as possible.
“He won’t be on holiday so soon,” Grandpa Wei said nonchalantly. “He’ll come here for the New Year when he’s on winter break, and we can treat him to his share then.”
"The main thing is, I don't know if Xiaoyuzai, Qibei, and I will still be here this Chinese New Year."
Fang Yan told the truth, "My husband said that he is applying for a house, and as soon as he gets a house, my child and I will have to go and join him."
