【68】Warm Courtyard
After a moment, Chi Rui slowly spoke in a gentle voice: "Are you hungry?"
Su Xueer was stunned. She thought she would be questioned, but unexpectedly, she heard caring words. She was a little flattered: "Sanlang, I... I'm not hungry."
Chi Rui smiled slightly: "I'm a little hungry, how about we make some midnight snacks together?"
Su Xueer nodded quickly: "Okay, okay!"
I haven't eaten properly since this afternoon and I'm already hungry.
The two came to the kitchen and Su Xueer stood in front of the stove.
Chi Rui was a little at a loss, because usually Su Xueer did this job.
Su Xueer instructed him: "Light up the fire first."
After saying that, she stuffed the flint into Chi Rui's hand.
I picked up the flint and fiddled with it for a long time. A lot of sparks flew out, but I just couldn't light a fire.
Chi Rui looked at Su Xueer somewhat embarrassedly.
Amelia Su shook her head helplessly and said softly, “Let me do it.”
She fiddled with it skillfully for a few times and the fire started.
"Next, bring out the noodles." Su Xueer continued to direct.
Chi Rui searched in the cupboard for a long time before finding the noodles, but accidentally knocked over the dishes next to it, making a crackling sound.
Su Xueer couldn't help laughing: "Sanlang, you should just sit and wait for me to do it."
Chi Rui curled his lips, looking a little embarrassed.
Finally, the preparations are complete.
Su Xueer started to cook the noodles. She carefully put the noodles into the pot, watching closely, for fear that they would be overcooked.
Chi Rui said on the side: "You can put some vegetables in it, it will be more delicious."
Su Xueer quickly washed some more vegetables and put them in.
After a while, the water in the pot began to boil and steam.
"It's almost time to fish it out." Su Xueer said to herself.
Using a slotted spoon, scoop out the noodles and greens and place them in a bowl.
Next is to prepare the sauce, add soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, salt and other seasonings, and then stir well.
A bowl of delicious midnight noodles is finally ready.
Just then, Qianyu came over.
When she smelled the fragrance, her eyes lit up, but she didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Chi Rui. She just said cautiously: "Sir, this midnight snack looks really delicious."
Chi Rui glanced at him and said, "Let's eat together."
Qianyu immediately smiled happily and quickly found a place to sit down.
Su Xueer brought the noodles to the table, and Qianyu couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and started eating.
"Wow, it's delicious!" Qianyu said vaguely.
The main reason was that I was hungry. It was the middle of the night and very cold, and I still had to bury the bodies.
Su Xueer smiled and said, "Eat slowly, or you might choke to death."
Qianyu's mouth was full and she had no time to answer. After a while, the bowl of noodles was empty.
He saw that there was still a little in the pot, and looked at Chi Rui pitifully: "Master, can I have some more?"
Chi Rui nodded, and Qianyu happily filled another bowl.
Su Xueer said with a smile: "Qianyu, the way you eat looks like you haven't eaten in several lifetimes."
Qianyu said as she ate, "Can you blame me for this? I've done so much work, and I'm starving!"
The couple couldn't help laughing when they saw Qianyu's appearance.
Just then, a mouse ran out from the corner. Su Xueer jumped up in fright, and ended up knocking over the table, spilling the noodles all over the floor.
Qianyu shouted, "Look at what you have done!"
Amelia Su looked embarrassed: “I…I didn’t mean it.”
Chi Rui said helplessly: "Okay, okay, it's okay, let's do it again."
