On the afternoon of the 31st, feeling guilty, Li Nan bought the ingredients and arrived at the Lakeside Community early.
Before even getting out of the car, I saw Gao Siming in the yard, grilling something on his self-built barbecue grill.
As soon as I got off the bus, an enticing aroma of roasted meat wafted towards me.
Wow, roast suckling pig!
Gao Siming had naturally noticed Li Nanbao's arrival at 120.
"I'm too busy right now, just open the door and come in!"
Li Nan opened the courtyard gate with practiced ease, ran to Gao Siming's side, and saw that it was indeed a roast suckling pig with golden-brown skin and dripping oil.
When they came in, Li Nan hadn't even had time to take the ingredients out of the trunk. The moment she saw the roast suckling pig, she pounced on Gao Siming's back.
"Brother Gao, I love you so much!"
Gao Siming shrugged dismissively and shooed Li Nan away, saying, "Don't flatter yourself. This is for the little mosquito. Remember to take half of it with you when you go back tomorrow."
"Huh, why tomorrow?"
Gao Siming turned around and tapped him on the head, "Do you think you can leave today?"
After saying that, he glanced at Li Nan, who had come empty-handed, and said with even more disdain, "What, you actually came empty-handed?"
"No, no!"
Li Nan explained as she ran towards the car.
Opening the trunk, there was indeed a large box of hairy crabs and two boxes of Wusu beer.
Of course, the two seemed to be on the same wavelength. Li Nan knew that Gao Siming had a grill at home, so she also bought two boxes of fresh oysters.
However, looking at the two boxes of golden Urumqi beer and then at the fragrant roast suckling pig in the yard, I was struck by the sight.
Li Nan shook his head helplessly, "What's meant to be will be! Luckily, I told Qin Wen about it beforehand today. Although I got scolded again, at least I can sleep in Brother Gao's luxury villa tonight!"
Yes, ever since the 0821 case, Qin Wen has given the sofa in the house to Li Nan as a gift.
Although they also lived in a two-bedroom apartment in a government compound, Qin Wen said that the other room was reserved for her mother to stay in when she came to take care of her in the future.
Li Nan could only obediently sleep on the sofa.
After more than a week of couchsurfing, Li Nan now particularly misses her spacious bed!
The main dish tonight is roast suckling pig. Gao Siming had already finished roasting it before Li Nan arrived. As for the "side dishes" that Li Nan brought, they were easy to handle.
Once the water boils, cook the hairy crabs for 15 minutes. Serve with shredded ginger and seafood soy sauce.
As for oysters, it's even simpler. While the grill is still on, wash the oysters, grill them for five, six, seven or eight minutes, drizzle them with Gao Siming's specially prepared secret sauce, and you're all done!
As for the rough work of cleaning hairy crabs and oysters, does Gao Siming really have to do it?
As Li Nan cleaned the outer shell, she looked resentfully at Gao Siming's back as he roasted the suckling pig outside.
Around 5 PM, everything was finished, and we could start eating and drinking.
The food and drinks were good, but what frustrated Li Nan was that he couldn't stand the fishy smell of houttuynia cordata. However, Gao Siming, who was clearly resentful today, insisted on adding a full spoonful of chopped houttuynia cordata to every single oyster.
What could Li Nan do? It was all his fault, so he just kept quiet and ate.
"Hey, I have to say, eating houttuynia cordata this way is actually pretty good!"
Everything is subject to the law of truth.
Although this lavish apology dinner was enjoyed only by Gao Siming and Li Nan, as they downed two glasses of Wusu beer, Li Nan's mood gradually improved, their conversations increased, and the atmosphere became increasingly lively.
"Brother Gao, we've been struggling with this Blood Rose for ages, but we're completely clueless!"
Li Nanxuan ate another oyster to calm himself down, then complained, "If I catch him, I'll definitely teach him a lesson!"
Gao Siming, sitting across the table, found it amusing. "Do you think you can still use excessive force in law enforcement these days?"
"Hehe, there's always a way! I'll draw circles and curse him!"
"The fool is right, I wish you all the best in catching the Blood Rose soon! Come on, shall we have another drink?"
"Thanks for Brother Gao's good wishes, come on, bottoms up!"
Although today's meal was mainly for Li Nan to "apologize," Gao Siming was once again impressed by Li Nan's appetite.
Of the eight hairy crabs he brought, he managed to dismantle six. Looking at the crab shell in front of him, and then at the lone "survivor" in the center of the table, Gao Siming hesitated: Should I eat it? Or should I eat it?
The same goes for the oysters; two whole boxes, almost two-thirds of them, have already gone into his stomach! To punish Li Nan, Gao Siming even specially bought wild, strongly flavored houttuynia cordata today, but how come this guy is enjoying it so much?
In contrast, he didn't eat much of the roast suckling pig, presumably because he heard that half of it was to be saved to take back to Qin Wen.
But since the other half was already packed and ready, why is this half still not moving?
Gao Siming naturally understood Li Nan's little scheme.
"This silly boy, he must have missed out on the May Day holiday and is now trying to buy it all up and take it home, huh? Dream on!"
After thinking it over, he casually tore off a pig's trotter, put it in his mouth, and chewed it a couple of times. "I still think I did better in the orange grove last time!"
Upon hearing this, Li Nan's eyes twitched twice in a wronged manner.
Compared to his enormous appetite, Li Nan's drinking ability was only comparable to that of the children at the table.
Gao Siming had already finished four bottles, and his first bottle was just empty.
With the help of beer, we stayed up all afternoon, from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m.
The previous dishes were certainly not enough, but fortunately Gao Siming had prepared in advance. Using the grill, he added some fatty dried beef and some small meat skewers that had been marinated beforehand, which were perfect for drinking.
