Chapter 193 Eating Together
It was almost dinner time. Ye Li was cooking in the kitchen while the two kids were writing and drawing in the viewing room upstairs. Ye Li had converted this place into a study and had specially nailed a shelf in it. She placed the few books she had brought with her on the shelf, hoping that she would have the opportunity to go out in the future and bring back more books.
Although it is the end of the world, it never hurts for Xiaomu and Xixi to learn more knowledge.
The smoke from cooking in the kitchen drifted out through the tall chimney, and the aroma of food filled the entire room.
Xiaomu and Xixi put down their books and ran downstairs to wait for dinner.
For dinner tonight, Ye Li fried the remaining rabbit meat and mushrooms, and added a small dish of vegetables. It was a very rich meal. But there was no other way. The weather was still quite hot, and the food could not be left out too long, and there was no refrigerator here.
"Come, it's time to eat. You two go to the kitchen and wash your hands." Ye Li brought the dishes to the table and urged the two little babies to wash their hands.
Just as the family sat down and prepared to eat, three guests came.
Xue Cun and his son and daughter.
Xue Cun was holding two bowls of dishes, and his son and daughter were holding a pot of rice and a basket of fruit respectively.
"This is..." Ye Li couldn't figure out what was going on.
Xue Cun smiled and said, "I'm sorry to bother you. My two children insisted on coming over to keep you company and have dinner together. I couldn't persuade them, so I brought the dishes over."
"Sure." Ye Li said, "If we eat together, we can have two more dishes."
Xue Cun was holding a braised fish and a chestnut-roasted chicken in his hands. The colors looked very good, and people's appetites were immediately aroused at the sight of them.
"Please come in." Since it was the children's request, how could Ye Li refuse? Besides, they were all neighbors, and Xiaomu and Xixi also needed friends.
"Thank you, Aunt Li Zi." Xue Yin and Xue Jing thanked Ye Li obediently, then went up to the tree house. Their father Xue Cun followed behind them.
"Wow, the dishes in your house are so rich." Xue Cun praised with a smile.
"No, these are all leftovers from the moving party. If we don't finish them today, they will go bad tomorrow."
Xue Cun placed the dish in his hand side by side with Ye Li's dish, then took the bowl and chopsticks and gave them to Xue Yin and Xue Jing. He smiled and said to Xiao Mu and Xi Xi, "This is the dish made by uncle himself. You should try it and see if it tastes good."
"Thank you, uncle." Xiaomu and Xixi immediately picked up their chopsticks and took their favorite food.
"Mm, it's delicious." Xixi and Xiaomu were impressed by Xue Cun's cooking skills. They said, "It's not inferior to my mother's cooking at all."
"Of course." Xue Yin said, "My father has always been the one cooking in our family. The dishes he cooks are the best in the tribe."
Ye Li picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and tasted it. She asked in surprise, "Could you be the chef of the Tree House Restaurant? The taste of this fish is similar to the one we had before."
Xue Cun smiled and nodded: "Yes."
"So he's a great chef, no wonder he's so good at cooking."
"Thank you for the compliment. It's okay." Xue Cun said modestly.
There was so much food on the table that the kids held their bowls and competed with each other in eating, not stopping until their stomachs were full.
After dinner, under the oil lamp lit in front of the tree house, Ye Li saw Xue Cun and his family off.
When Xue Cun was going down the stairs, he unexpectedly gave Ye Li a light hug. Before Ye Li could react, he jumped down the stairs as if escaping.
"..." Ye Li thought that this must be a special etiquette of Xue Cun and his people, it must be.
After thinking about it, Ye Li turned and walked into the house.
"Ye Li." Xiao Xun's figure suddenly appeared in the light.
