Li Zhao looked at the other three. Dabao, who had been silent the whole time, agreed. He and Cao An had joined the Public Security Bureau in the same year and had worked together for several years, becoming close friends. Seeing that the others were still a little reserved, he said, "Since the captain said so, please sit down. We'll need to help carry it into the room later."
"yes!"
Xia Youyou heard it in the kitchen, took out beef, fish and meat and put them in the basket. She wanted to take something else when she saw Cao An come in.
"Don't put anything too exaggerated, it will arouse suspicion." He looked through the few things she put in, "Okay, how come I haven't seen this fish before?"
"This is freshwater sea bass. It's boneless and delicious. Just steam it." He took out some more seasoning and decided the bottled version wasn't good enough because it had a label on it. "Tear off the label and I'll see what else I can get."
Cao An did as he was told. "You don't need to take a lot. What can you buy with the money you had yesterday? Aren't you afraid of being exposed?"
"That's right!" She could only give up. Seeing him tear off the labels on several bottles, she felt that something was wrong with the bottle caps. There should be no such process now.
Cao An glanced at the pile of firewood, took a knife and quickly cut a few plugs, compared the sizes, and then nodded with satisfaction.
Xia Youyou followed his lead and gave a thumbs up.
"No big deal."
One of them started the fire while the other started preparing the meal. Liu Hui came in a moment later and said, "Eanzi, go and entertain your brothers. I'll take care of this."
Cao An went out obediently.
"Youyou, you light the fire and I'll cook."
"Mom, I can do it. You sit down and light the fire." She had already cut the vegetables, and now all she had to do was stir-fry them.
"Can you cook?"
Xia Youyou felt a little guilty; it was really hard to lie. "Why don't you do it? I'll steam the fish over there. I'll leave the cooking to you."
Liu Hui touched her head and took the spatula from her hand with a smile.
He looked at the vegetables she had cut and said, "Your knife skills are pretty good. What are you going to do with this meat?"
"Mom, braised pork!"
The food was quickly served, filling the table. Li Zhao and the others were too embarrassed to pick up their chopsticks. Cao An served them some food and asked them to sit down. "Eat, you're welcome."
Dabao is a bit naive and didn't bother to be polite with him. After everyone sat down at the table, he took the lead in eating.
"Try the food that Auntie cooks. Come visit me often in the future."
Li Zhao relaxed a bit, being the most active among the group. "Thank you for your hard work, Auntie. You've prepared so many dishes, we don't know which one to eat first."
Liu Hui was amused by him and couldn't stop smiling. "Eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
