After the big yellow dog tied at the door of the slaughterhouse barked a few times, Wei Dajiang came out and saw Yun Yongcheng and Lu Feng getting out of the car. He walked up to them and greeted them with a smile.
"Brother Yongcheng, Brother Lufeng, what's the wind that brings you two here today? I just cut some iced watermelon. Come in and have a piece to quench your thirst."
At Wei Dajiang's enthusiastic invitation, Lu Fengyun Yongcheng walked into the slaughterhouse.
After quenching his thirst with a piece of iced watermelon, Yun Yongcheng directly explained his purpose to Wei Dajiang.
"Brother Wei, do you have any butter for sale?"
"You want to buy butter?"
After Yun Yongcheng finished speaking, Wei Dajiang's gaze moved between him and Lu Feng, looking at them as if they were monsters.
"I do have butter, but it smells very fishy. You two are in the meat stewing business, why would you buy butter?"
Over the past two months, the two had to call Wei Dajiang from time to time because of business matters. As a result, they became familiar with Wei Dajiang and had a good understanding of Wei Dajiang's character.
Wei Dajiang is a trustworthy and loyal person.
"Last night, my daughter gave me a recipe for hot pot base, which requires some fresh butter."
Yun Yongcheng answered truthfully and was not worried that Wei Dajiang would leak the news.
Wei Dajiang: "Brother Yongcheng, your clever daughter gave you the recipe for hot pot base because she wants you to start a hot pot business. You told me such an important thing, aren't you afraid that I might leak it to you?"
Yun Yongcheng smiled and replied, "I believe Brother Wei is not that kind of person."
"Well, just for what you said, I'll give you the best butter."
Wei Dajiang said this and waved to one of his workers.
"Go inside and get those big blocks of butter I put in the freezer yesterday and put them in a cellophane bag."
In less than five minutes, the worker appeared in front of Yun Yongcheng and Wei Dajiang carrying a bag full of butter, about ten pounds.
Wei Dajiang took the cellophane bag from the worker, didn't weigh it, and handed the bag to Yun Yongcheng.
"This is just a piece of butter. It's not worth much. Just take it back and use it."
Yun Yongcheng felt a little guilty.
"Brother Wei, you should ask the workers to weigh the butter. We also want some fresh beef tripe, lamb tripe, pig intestines, chicken blood, duck blood, and chicken and duck intestines. Do you have all these offal?"
Wei Dajiang: "Are you planning to have hot pot tonight?"
Seeing Wei Dajiang's drooling face, Lu Feng smiled and replied, "I'll go home today and make the hot pot base according to the recipe. I'm definitely going to make a pot tonight to try it out. I heard from Mianmian and Xiaoniuniu that chicken and duck intestines taste delicious in hot pot."
Gulp!
After Lu Feng finished speaking, Wei Dajiang swallowed his saliva.
"Brother Lu Feng, you did this on purpose."
Yun Yongcheng: "If Brother Wei has time this afternoon and Xiushui Village is not too far away, you can go back to Xiushui Village with us and enjoy hot pot together tonight and have a couple of drinks."
"OK."
Wei Dajiang agreed quickly, as if fearing that Yun Yongcheng would go back on his word.
"Just eating offal isn't satisfying. How about this? I'll have the workers cut a few pounds of beef and mutton. We'll put the beef and mutton in the hot pot and it'll taste delicious. Then we'll go to Weimeixuan and call Lao Xia. Lao Xia has quite a collection of red wine. Let's ask him for two bottles."
As Wei Dajiang was talking, he simply got up and went to cut the beef and mutton himself.
Yun Yongcheng and Lu Feng looked at his impatient figure and glanced at each other. They both felt a little sympathy for Xia Mingfeng.
Yun Yongcheng: "Boss Xia's collection of red wine is not cheap."
Lu Feng: "It's okay, Boss Xia has plenty of money."
"Brother Yongcheng, you've already invited Brother Wei to eat hot pot, so why don't you invite Teacher Qin?"
Lu Feng thought of Qin Yu and asked Yun Yongcheng with a meaningful smile.
Yun Yongcheng's face turned red when he asked this question.
"This morning, when I left the house, I told Mianmian to invite Xiaoyu to go to Xiushui Village for hot pot tonight."
"Oh, brother Yongcheng, you are really understanding more and more."
Lu Feng patted Yun Yongcheng on the shoulder and looked at Yun Yongcheng with a hint of relief.
Wei Dajiang walked out with big strides, holding a large piece of beef in his left hand and a large piece of mutton in his right hand.
The workers following behind him also had bags of things in their hands.
"Brother Yongcheng, Brother Lufeng, let's go without further ado and go to Delicious House to ask Lao Xia for some red wine."
Lu Feng: “…”
Yun Yongcheng looked at the meat in his hand, then glanced at what the worker behind him was holding.
"Brother Wei, isn't that too much?"
Wei Dajiang: "Not much, not much. Tonight, everyone eats heartily."
The three of them drove away from the slaughterhouse and went to Delicious Kitchen to find Xia Mingfeng. Wei Dajiang shamelessly took two bottles of expensive red wine from Xia Mingfeng's office.
In a blink of an eye, it was four o'clock in the afternoon.
The bell for the end of get out of class at Huangshi Town Central Primary School rang on time.
The last class of Class One, Grade One was taught by Qin Yu. Qin Yu assigned homework and reminded students to be careful. After seeing that only Yun Mian was left in the class, he changed his serious expression, walked to Yun Mian with a gentle smile, reached into his pocket, took out a piece of beef jerky, and handed it to Yun Mian.
"You must be hungry. Eat some beef jerky to fill your stomach."
Knowing that Yun Mian and Wang Xiaohu were waiting for Chu Yu to go home together after school, Qin Yu was not in a hurry to leave the classroom and sat down next to her.
"Mianmian, Auntie has asked about the art training class for you. You can go to class after National Day."
Yunmian originally thought that the beef jerky her mother gave her was very fragrant, but when she suddenly heard her mother mention the art training class, she suddenly felt that the beef jerky in her hand was not fragrant anymore.
"Auntie Qin, let's split this beef jerky in half."
Yun Mian broke the dried meat into pieces and handed half to Qin Yu.
"You've had classes all day, you must be hungrier than me."
Qin Yu felt warm in her heart when she saw the beef jerky handed to her by the little girl.
What a sweet little cotton-padded jacket.
"Mianmian, Auntie promises you that even if your father and I have our own children in the future, we will still treat you as our own."
Yunmian chewed some beef jerky and responded vaguely, "Auntie, when you marry my dad, I'll be your biological daughter."
Qin Yu was amused by her unclear pronunciation.
"Yes, Mianmian is our biological daughter."
Yun Mian remembered what her father had told her, and quickly swallowed the dried meat in her mouth. She looked at her mother with wide eyes and said, "Aunt Qin, my father is going to make hot pot tonight and wants to invite you to Xiushui Village for hot pot."
"Go... go to Xiushui Village."
The expression on Qin Yu's face suddenly became a little awkward.
After eating hot pot, it would definitely be very late, and she definitely couldn’t go back to Huangshi Town, so she would have to stay in Xiushui Village.
