Chapter 121: Braised Prawns
You don't need bowls and chopsticks when eating shrimps, you can just peel them with your hands. However, Xia Runlin still ran back to the kitchen, brought back two more pairs of bowls and chopsticks, and also brought a few small packs of plastic gloves.
Xu Xinxin was a little surprised when she saw the plastic gloves and said, "Wow, where did you find these gloves? I didn't see them for sale in the mall."
"Yes, but there are relatively few. You can buy it by going to a few more stores."
As the two of them talked, they tacitly did not mention the embarrassing scene that just happened.
"Eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold," Xia Runlin said again.
"Okay, okay. I'll be welcome then."
Xu Xinxin has been craving for crayfish for a long time, but her cooking skills are average, and it is troublesome to clean crayfish, so she never thought about making it herself.
Xu Xinxin put on plastic gloves, picked up a braised prawn, and broke it open with her hands, revealing the tender yellow shrimp paste.
She took a bite and the spicy and fresh taste instantly whetted her appetite.
"Delicious!" she said sincerely.
She sipped the shrimp roe, then broke the shrimp tail with her hand, and then took a bite, and the tender shrimp meat came into her mouth.
"It's really delicious," she praised again.
I don’t know who invented the dish of braised prawns in oil, but it’s really a blessing for foodies.
"Well, if it tastes good, eat more."
Xia Runlin was also peeling shrimps by hand. After peeling one, she put the shrimp meat into her bowl.
Seeing this, Xu Xinxin quickly said, "Thank you, but you don't have to help me peel the shrimp. It's better to eat crayfish by yourself. You should eat it quickly, or it won't taste good if it gets cold."
"good."
As expected, Xia Runlin agreed again. Then he peeled the shrimp with his hands again, took a bite, and then started coughing because of the choking.
"You can't eat spicy food?" Xu Xinxin looked at him puzzledly.
“No…no…cough cough cough…I just choked accidentally.”
Xia Runlin choked and tears were about to come out.
Xu Xinxin quickly took off her gloves, took out a thermos cup from the space, poured him a glass of water, and said, "Come down, drink some hot water."
"Thanks……"
Xia Runlin coughed for a while and felt much better after drinking a cup of hot water.
But after he finished drinking the hot water, he looked at the lid of the thermos cup he had just drunk from, and his face seemed to get even redder.
Seeing him like this, Xu Xinxin couldn't help but asked worriedly, "Are you allergic?"
"No," Xia Runlin returned to his old self, returned the thermos cup to her and said, "I just haven't eaten spicy food for a long time, so I'm a little uncomfortable with it."
As he spoke, he picked up another braised prawn with his hands, peeled off the shrimp tail and ate it.
This time, he was not choked again.
Only then did Xu Xinxin feel relieved.
The braised prawns were delicious, and they were served with some potatoes and cucumbers as side dishes.
It’s a pity that there were no cold noodles and cold edamame. It would have been even better if there was a glass of ice cola.
But people should not be too greedy. The way it is now is already very good.
Xu Xinxin felt particularly satisfied with this meal.
Xia Runlin ate so politely that he didn't eat much.
Seeing him like this, Xu Xinxin felt that it was because he couldn't eat spicy food.
She said, "You can't eat spicy food, but you can cook garlic shrimp or steamed crayfish with dipping sauce instead, which is also delicious."
"It's okay," Xia Runlin said, "as long as you like it."
When he said this, he was staring at Xu Xinxin, which inexplicably made Xu Xinxin blush.
Xu Xinxin quickly turned around and said: "You have worked hard cooking, let me wash these dishes."
As she spoke, she carried the pots and bowls in her hands and ran to the well.
It was so dangerous just now. She almost got embarrassed by staring at others.
How embarrassing.
With a red face, Xu Xinxin went to scoop water from the well to wash the dishes.
But just as she was about to squat down to wash the dishes, Xia Runlin came, took the dishes and said, "Let me do it. I can do these jobs too."
"Don't..." Xu Xinxin wanted to push him away, but her hands were covered with oil, so she didn't do anything. Instead, she said, "Forget it, let's wash together. It will be better if we finish sooner."
The two of them washed the dishes silently, cleaned up the stone table in the pavilion silently, and cleaned up the kitchen silently.
Then the two of them chatted idly, and the situation became more and more awkward. In the end, Xu Xinxin wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
At this time, Xia Runlin received a phone call and said that he had to leave first and would come back tomorrow.
After finally seeing him off, Xu Xinxin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and lay directly on the bed, pounding the quilt with her hands.
Ahhh, what is this?
Xia Runlin is really annoying. Whether he likes her or not, he never says it out loud. It really tests one's mentality.
Xiao Jiu just looked at her, occasionally hitting the quilt with his hands, then rolling around on the bed, teasing: "Hey, who was it just now who said that he didn't like me that much? Why are you so shy now?"
"You don't understand." Xu Xinxin sat up and said, "I'm shy because he likes me, but not really. It's because I feel like he might like me a little bit, but I'm not sure. I'm afraid that I'll be narcissistic and misunderstand him... But he looks like he likes me. In short, I'm very conflicted."
"Yes, I am confused!"
Finally, Xu Xinxin made the final decision: "It must be like this!"
hehe.
Xiaojiu just watched her "go crazy" quietly and said nothing more.
Go ahead and make some noise, go ahead and make some noise. What girl’s youth doesn’t deserve to be noisy like this?
When she grows up and matures, she will understand that so-called love is just that.
Alas, it is still old, so I should study more about how to maintain my health.
Xu Xinxin made a fuss for a while, then suddenly remembered that she hadn't fed the pigs and ducks today, so she quickly got up and went to mix feed and cut grass to feed them.
After she finished feeding the pigs, ducks, cows and sheep, she remembered that the vegetable garden seemed to have not been watered today, so she hurried to water it.
Then it’s picking vegetables, cooking, washing dishes, taking a bath, and doing laundry…
By the time she finished her work, it was dark.
She was really busy that day.
Just like that, Xu Xinxin finally managed to fall asleep.
The next morning, as soon as she woke up, she received a text message from Xia Runlin:
[Are you awake? If you are awake, could you please let me know in advance? ]
Xu Xinxin saw the text message and replied immediately:
【Wake up, I just woke up. 】
She had just finished replying and hadn't even gotten up when she received another text message:
[Are you dressed now? If not, can you wear something nicer? I am receiving an award today and I want to take you with me.]
ah?
Receive an award?
By the way, Xia Runlin killed a giant spider over level 50 before, and the mayor of Jiangcheng was going to give him a prize.
【Wait for me】
Xu Xinxin quickly replied, then placed the clothes on the bed and began to choose carefully.
