Lu Yulan could tell that Chu Rui had something on his mind, but some things didn't need to be said; they could be understood.
The aroma of the tea eggs quickly wafted out, sweet and fragrant with a hint of the unique flavor of braised dishes. Various spices mingled and blended together, creating an unforgettable and captivating aroma that was quite strange when eaten alone, when combined and steamed.
It's so tempting, you can't help but want to take a bite. Lu Yulan herself prefers tea eggs. As for salted duck eggs, she only likes the smooth, sandy, and oily yolk, while the white is a bit lacking. So, tea eggs are more suitable. The smooth, sandy yolk, although not oily, is full of the flavor of spices, making you want to eat one after another. The white is the same, with a salty and fragrant taste. It's the perfect match with a pot of plain white porridge.
Using a special strainer, a whole tea egg is taken out. The strainer has a lid. After shaking it vigorously a few times, the already loose eggshell separates from the egg. Looking at the brownish tea egg, Lu Yulan presents it to Chu Rui.
"Try it. I remember you have the best sense of taste. I always owe you a lot for helping me taste the dishes. If you say it's good, it must be good."
Looking at the peeled eggs right in front of him, Chu Rui's only remaining resentment towards Lu Yulan disappeared, and this time he truly regarded her as an older sister.
He made a decision in his mind and then took the tea egg.
I took a small sip, and it was incredibly elastic; the egg white even unexpectedly had a little bit of gravy clinging to it.
"Delicious, Sister Lan's cooking is really good."
As he spoke, he gave a thumbs-up, a rather awkward compliment, but it amused Lu Yulan. This child was indeed quite adorably honest.
Not far away, Lu Fangyao and Wu Lin, who had lost interest in roasting chicken legs, turned around and saw this scene, their expressions somewhat heavy.
"I feel like something's not right."
"Yes, Xiao Linzi, you're right, that's definitely not right."
The two exchanged a glance, then walked up to Lu Yulan with grins, dragging away the bewildered Chu Rui. The little guy actually dared to be the first to fawn over Sister Lan; wouldn't that mean there was no place for the two of them?
This is outrageous. Today we'll show him who's in charge here.
"Come on, let's drink. We're in college now, how can we not drink?"
Lu Yulan watched the group of young men drinking together, looking quite carefree, and couldn't help but shake her head; she wasn't going to join them.
I went back and cooked a pot of white porridge and ginger tea to help them so they could drink some more after they'd had their fill of wine, so they wouldn't have a hangover the next day.
As a result, when they came out, they saw everyone lying on the ground fast asleep, except for Chu Rui who was still squatting to the side, trying his best to get them drunk.
Lu Yulan: ...
Chu Rui, when did you develop this skill? It's amazing! But judging from the fact that the other person's eyes are unfocused, it's probably just an instinctive action.
"Go to sleep, you've already drunk them out."
"real?"
"real."
"Whoosh..."
Alright, now there's a cacophony of croaking frogs. Lu Yulan squats to the side, feeling a bit overwhelmed. She can't move this group of big boys, but in early spring weather, is it really appropriate to leave them out outside all night?
However, before she could hesitate for long, Lu Yuanhong brought down a bed sheet from upstairs and spread it evenly over the group, which could be considered a makeshift blanket.
Surprisingly, after Lu Yuanhong put it down, the boys cooperated by crawling into the middle and wrapping the sheet tightly, leaving no gaps.
