Zhou Yi invited Jiang Letian to have dinner at Yi Mansion and called Xu Ming to come over. She knew that Xu Xiaoxiu and Ma Peipei would definitely come to Yi Mansion soon.
Yunfeng and Jiang Letian continued chatting on the terrace, while Zhou Yi was preparing dinner in the kitchen.
Unexpectedly, the first person to come over was Qin Bei.
"Cousin, just tell me, my feeling is very accurate. I just sniffed it and knew you would be cooking tonight, so here I am." Qin Bei chatted with Yun Feng and the others on the terrace, then went to the kitchen to watch Zhou Yi cook.
"Yes, cousin, your nose is the most sensitive, even better than the hunting dogs in your army." Zhou Yi glanced at him with a smile.
She was also very curious about how Qin Bei felt that she would be cooking tonight.
Qin Bei's nose was not particularly sensitive, but after Yun Gaofei returned, he had been secretly sending people to protect Zhou Yi. He knew that Su Mingzhe had sent people to protect him, but he also wanted to do something for Zhou Yi. Even if other things were not possible, guarding him was still possible.
"My little cousin, it's New Year's Day, so watch your eyes." Qin Bei looked at Zhou Yi with a smile. He cherished the time they were spending together now. He was afraid that after this year, it would be difficult to have such time again.
Zhou Yi had the same idea in his mind, so his attitude towards Qin Bei was obviously much softer than before.
"Cousin, today I made you your favorite braised pork. Please bear with the look in your eyes." Zhou Yi was busy processing the ingredients.
"My little cousin really understands my stomach the best. My mouth is watering." Qin Bei had just finished speaking when the doorbell rang.
Qin Bei walked out of the kitchen and opened the door. It was Xu Ming who arrived, carrying bags of gifts in his hands.
After saying hello to Zhou Yi, Qin Bei took Xu Ming to the terrace garden. The four men replaced the teapot with one for boiling wine.
Zhou Yi had previously instructed Yunfeng that if Xu Ming arrived, he should first briefly tell Xu Ming about the matter between Xu Xiaoxiu and Ma Peipei to avoid an awkward situation later. Of course, the pregnancy should not be mentioned.
Xu Xiaoxiu had to tell Xu Ming about the pregnancy in person.
When Xu Ming learned about Xu Xiaoxiu and Ma Peipei's affairs, his expression changed again and again. Finally, after drinking three glasses of wine, he said with emotion: "My little nun has finally grown up. I can finally give her mother an explanation."
"Uncle Xu, this is more than just an explanation. In this era, there are few women who can be better than your Xu Xiaoxiu. Of course, except for my little cousin, hehe." Qin Bei looked at Xu Ming and said with a smile. He really thought Xu Xiaoxiu was very good, and the only one who could be better than her was his cousin Zhou Yi.
"Xiaoyi is indeed excellent, and you young people are also excellent. You are better than your teachers. Shine in your era. Come on, let's go." Xu Ming took the lead, and several men chatted and drank.
Zhou Yi also wanted to make them some side dishes to go with their wine, but of course, most of them ended up going into Qin Bei's stomach.
When it was getting dark, Ma Peipei and Xu Xiaoxiu came over from Meiyi, and He Zhan and Zhan Hongying also came with them.
Zhou Yi first glanced at Xu Xiaoxiu and Ma Peipei, and then smiled knowingly as she saw them walking into the gate hand in hand.
Looking at the head again, Zhou Yi tied his apron again and went back to the kitchen to add a few dishes. He thought, fortunately Yun Gaofei and the others prepared a lot of ingredients before going back, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.
While Zhou Yi was adding more dishes in the kitchen, Xu Ming, Xu Xiaoxiu and Ma Peipei went upstairs.
She prayed for Ma Peipei in her heart. Zhou Yi knew very well how Xu Ming raised Xu Xiaoxiu like a treasure. Whether Ma Peipei could pass Xu Ming's test depended on himself.
However, Xu Xiaoxiu likes her. No matter what, Xu Ming just thinks the distance between Beijing and Jinghai is too far. In the end, he also hopes that Xu Xiaoxiu will be happy.
Zhou Yi finished making the last dish. After Qin Bei brought it out of the restaurant, Xu Xiaoxiu and the others also came down from the second floor. It looked like the result should be good.
When Xu Xiaoxiu looked at Zhou Yi, his eyes were red and full of gratitude.
"Dinner is ready~" Qin Bei shouted towards the terrace garden.
The young men on the terrace gathered around the restaurant, looked at the table full of dishes, and gave Zhou Yi a thumbs up.
"You guys are waiting for food, but you don't even come to the kitchen to help. Look how busy my little cousin and I are. We're sweating in the middle of winter." Qin Bei looked at He Zhan, "Especially you. Your cooking skills are comparable to my little cousin's. Is it really okay for you to just sit there and wait for food?"
He Zhan looked aggrieved and sighed, "Qin Bei, you don't know, during my time in Hong Kong, I was really scared of the kitchen."
Zhou Yi smiled after hearing this and said, "Brother He, thank you for your hard work at the hotel in Gangcheng."
"It's not hard, it's just too busy, little sister, you have no idea how popular the dishes made from your recipes are in Hong Kong City. Let me tell you, it's no exaggeration to say that from the opening to the closing of the hotel every day, there is no empty table. There are always people queuing outside the door. It's meal time 24 hours a day~" He Zhan talked incessantly.
Everyone was amazed at how popular a hotel could be. Also, were people in Hong Kong really that wealthy?
They had heard before that the hotel opened by Zhou Yi was not cheap.
"No, I have to go to Hong Kong City at the beginning of the new year and try all the dishes developed by my cousin." Qin Bei was drooling just listening to this.
"Cousin, you agreed to open a restaurant in Jinghai, but you ended up opening one in Gangcheng. I have to drive for several hours just to have a meal there." Qin Bei looked at Zhou Yi with a face full of grievance.
"Isn't the timing in Hong Kong City better? Senior Brother He was also there at the time, so we opened it there first." Zhou Yi explained.
In fact, Zhou Yi didn't expect the business to be so booming. When He Zhan told her the sales volume over there in the past two months, Zhou Yi's eyes widened.
"I don't care. Just open one in Jinghai and I'll eat there every meal." Qin Bei said.
"Don't we have food to eat now?" Zhou Yi pointed to the table full of dishes.
Qin Bei looked at the food on the table, his expression instantly turned back to that of a big foodie, and he wiped his saliva.
"Come on, everyone, take a seat. Today's meal is like the New Year's Eve dinner for our good friends." Zhou Yi's gangster aura returned.
Everyone sat down. The table was filled with food and people. Zhou Yi felt very satisfied. She had gained so much in the year since her rebirth.
"Come on, let me go first and wish everyone a happy new year. Let's create new glory together next year." Zhou Yi raised his glass, his eyes full of ambition.
