"I'm afraid it won't be possible tonight. We at the Youth League have an appointment to have dinner together tomorrow night to celebrate the New Year. Appointments cannot be changed."
Ning Xiyue shook her head and refused, making Bai Yu feel lost for a moment.
"However, I can have lunch with you guys tomorrow at noon."
With a sudden turn of events, Bai Yu's depressed mood disappeared without a trace, and he was revived in an instant. Afraid of any changes, he immediately took Ning Xiyue's hand and high-fived her, saying, "It's settled. Let's have lunch together tomorrow at noon. Qingyuan, remember to come along. I'll make you something delicious."
Seeing that his sister agreed, Ning Qingyuan politely agreed: "Okay, thank you for the invitation, I will definitely come."
Zhou Cheng, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, heard this and turned to look at them in the back seat. With a smile on his face, he asked, "What dishes do you want to eat? Just tell me and tell me the names. I will cook it for you tomorrow."
When it comes to Zhou Cheng's dishes, Ning Qingyuan is not picky at all: "Brother Zhou, just do whatever you want. We all love the dishes you cook."
Ning Xiyue was not polite and looked at Zhou Cheng with a smile: "Brother Zhou, I have some ingredients for some dishes. I'll give them to you when I get off the car. Please, Brother Zhou, fry them for me."
She thought that the things she bought today would be delicious after being cooked by Zhou Cheng. With such excellent cooking skills and such good meat, she must give some to Zhou Cheng to cook. The opportunity should not be missed.
"Okay, leave it to me." Zhou Cheng agreed, patting his chest.
Ning Qingyuan secretly gave his sister a thumbs up.
Sure, sister.
Why didn't he think that it would be a waste not to use the free chef's cooking?
When we arrived at the dam where the coal mine team of the Daliu team office was stationed, it was already 8:40 in the evening. The sky outside was completely dark, without any light, and there was not even a star in the sky.
Fortunately, Ning Xiyue and her brother had planned their trip carefully, knowing they might come back very late at night, so they brought two flashlights with them.
Turn on your flashlight when you get off the car.
The driver was in a hurry to return to the county to report, so he helped them unload the things from the car and then drove away.
Ning Xiyue and her brother and sister and Bai Yu and his wife were left standing there sorting their things.
"Brother Zhou, go back and get a basin to put the food in. I'll give you the ingredients first."
Ning Xiyue took out a flashlight, opened the sack of meat, and took out a piece of beef. She then took out a dagger from her bag, cut off a piece of mutton weighing about one pound, and handed it to Zhou Cheng to take back first.
Zhou Cheng, who had been dealing with food for a long time, immediately recognized the meat in Yue's hand. Seeing such fresh and high-quality meat was very attractive to a chef, he asked happily, "Is this beef and lamb?"
"Yes, I bought it in the market today. It was freshly slaughtered when I bought it. Let's taste it together tomorrow."
Zhou Cheng happily took the meat. Looking at the beautiful texture and muscles of the beef in his hand, he already had an idea of how to cook it well.
"Then I won't be polite with you. Wait, I'll go back and get the basin."
Zhou Cheng ran quickly towards where he lived with the meat in his hands.
"Look at your brother Zhou, his favorite thing is cooking. He gets so happy when he sees good ingredients." Bai Yu retracted her gaze and gave Ning Xiyue a loving look: "You are the same. I invited you to dinner, but I still took your ingredients. You can just keep them for yourselves, but why did you give them to us?"
Ning Xiyue continued to untie the bag of seafood while talking to Bai Yu.
"My brother and I are here to try Brother Zhou's cooking skills. We're so hungry that we're itching to take out the ingredients we bought today and have him cook for us. And we bought a lot of meat this time, plenty. Don't worry, we'll keep it for ourselves, right, brother?"
"Yes, of course. Apart from anything else, Brother Zhou's cooking tastes better than the food we had at the state-owned restaurant in the city today."
Qingyuan had to admit that he didn't like Baiyu and his wife, but he liked the food Zhou Cheng cooked very much. His mouth could honestly tell how delicious a dish was.
Bai Yu was very happy to hear these words and invited them: "If you like to eat, come to our house often. Your brother Zhou's cooking skills are really good."
At this time, Zhou Cheng ran over with a dustpan and stood beside Ning Xiyue with the dustpan in hand: "I've got the things."
Ning Xiyue nodded, squatted down and took out two beef bones and put them in the winnowing basket.
They moved to the sack where the seafood was placed. Ning Qingyuan held the opening of the sack, and Ning Xiyue took out three large dried sea fish from it, scooped up a handful of dried crabs and dried shrimps and put them in the dustpan, and then tore off a piece of kelp before finishing.
Bai Yu looked at the things Ning Xiyue took out of the bag in surprise, exclaimed, then picked up a piece of dried fish, looked at it, and smelled it.
"Oh my god, I didn't expect you guys had seafood in here. Where did you buy this? It's such a big bag. The dried fish looks so good. Hmm, it smells so good."
Zhou Cheng was also quite surprised. This city was quite far away, and these seafood were rarely seen in department stores, and mainly no one ate them.
But as a chef, he is very optimistic about all ingredients. There is no bad food, only people who don't cook it well.
When he saw the things Ning Xiyue took out, his eyes lit up and he was thinking about how to make them delicious tomorrow.
Ning Xiyue didn't answer Bai Yu's question. Ning Qingyuan smiled and said simply, "I met a friend who just came back from the coastal area. He got some things from his fellow villagers and gave them to us."
To avoid unnecessary trouble and not wanting to tell them the truth, Ning Qingyuan gave ambiguous answers. Then he looked at Zhou Cheng and changed the subject: "Brother Zhou, I'll trouble you tomorrow. I'll leave these things to you. I look forward to tomorrow's lunch."
