Chapter 40: Weird
Hearing his suggestion, Chen Yi did not object.
After all, I have to treat you to this meal sooner or later, it doesn't matter whether you are here or not.
And He Mingcheng was doing it for her own good, so she shouldn't refuse.
"Okay, you arrange it, and I'll cook when the time comes." She replied with a smile.
No matter what, she was confident that her cooking skills were still good, after all, she had learned it in the food class.
Although the purpose is to cook for the scumbag...
Let’s not talk about it.
The two of them agreed, He Mingcheng went to inform them, while Chen Yi stayed at home to put the things they had moved in.
The house had not been tidied yet, so He Mingcheng was asked to move the heavier things while she packed up the lighter things.
After a day of hard work, the two of them finally made the house look presentable.
Chen Yi looked at the unfamiliar home, then looked at the busy figures, and felt that she had a sense of belonging.
She took out two cans of braised pork, each weighing one pound.
I'll stew this with dried potatoes tomorrow and it will definitely taste great.
Then stew some sauerkraut with the wild boar meat, and prepare the rest as you like.
Chen Yi felt that it was not good to have too much feast, as it would put pressure on others. How should she plan for other people's dinner invitations in the future?
So, just use two for meat dishes.
He Mingcheng listened to her, but he was reluctant to give up the can of meat.
"It's useless for my wife to give them such good food. Let's keep it. You can eat it when I'm away on business."
It’s a waste if you give the food to others, but it’s not a waste if you eat it with your wife.
The first person in his heart now is Chen Yi, and he puts his wife in the most important position in everything.
Chen Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What would other people think if they heard what He Mingcheng said?
"It's okay, there's still a lot in the cabinet. Most of the suitcases I brought are filled with canned food." She said, pointing to the cabinet.
He Mingcheng had never opened her package before, so he took a look at it with some doubts.
When I opened the box, I saw that there were about twenty cans of food inside.
The colors of the cans are different, some are silver and some are gold.
There are also several transparent cans so you can easily see what’s inside.
Canned fish...
He Mingcheng was a little speechless, "Why did you bring so many canned foods to the countryside?"
This is too much, the problem is so heavy...
Chen Yi smiled and said, "I have a classmate whose father works in a food factory and has some benefits. I bought these things using my connections. If I wasn't afraid of not having good food to eat in the countryside, I wouldn't have bought them."
There were still a lot of things in the space, and she lied so that she could have more of them in the future.
And with this "classmate", she will be able to receive canned food frequently in the future.
Just say that she was bought. He Mingcheng won’t investigate her as a criminal suspect anyway.
So, she is very relieved now.
He Mingcheng didn't ask any more questions. After all, he knew nothing about Chen Yi's past.
He will slowly get to know Chen Yi now, and he will accompany her throughout her future life.
For lunch the next day, everyone came to He Mingcheng's house.
Lin Mei and Zhang Yu were also there, as well as two other women whom I didn't recognize.
"Chen Yi, I heard that you caught a cold yesterday. Did you do anything?" Lin Mei put a few frozen pears on the table.
Zhang Yu was not empty-handed either. He picked up a few cabbages and placed them directly in the kitchen.
"You just moved in, so there aren't many vegetables or anything like that, right? They're not valuable things, so don't despise them," she said with a smile.
In fact, every family eats these things at that time, so there is no question of whether they are disgusted or not.
And Chen Yi wouldn’t dislike it. After all, how many good things can everyone have at this time?
There is not enough food for the family.
"I don't mind, it's just the right gift. We just moved and we just happened to be in need of these." Chen Yi said as she poured water for everyone.
The vegetables in the pot had been stewed for a long time. Wild boar meat was difficult to cook, so she stewed the meat early in the morning and also put in sauerkraut.
Such dishes become more fragrant the longer they are stewed.
"Oh, there's still the sauerkraut stewed with pork?" A woman lifted the lid of the pot and took a look.
Her tone was a bit sarcastic, and her eyes turned green when she looked at the meat in the pot.
Lin Mei, who was standing by, saw her actions and frowned and said, "Yang Hui, your drool is almost falling into the pot. Isn't it disgusting?"
She didn't indulge the other person at all and didn't beat around the bush when speaking.
Yang Hui rolled her eyes and covered the pot. "If it's disgusting, then don't eat it! You're the only one who's always bothering me."
Lin Mei looked very unhappy and even wanted to get angry, but considering that today was a dinner party for someone else who was moving, she held back.
Chen Yi glanced at Yang Hui and felt that this person was not a good person, so she decided not to associate with him in the future.
After all, today we are inviting the people He Mingcheng invited to dinner, and I don’t know whose wife this woman is.
Everyone is here, so we can’t say anything today. At least don’t mess up this meal.
The meal was ready quickly. In order to save time, Chen Yi steamed a large pot of multi-grain rice.
It contains red beans, corn grits, and rice. This kind of rice is enough to satisfy your hunger and is neither too bad nor too good.
The men ate at one table and the women used the small table in the house. They drank and ate outside, while they ate and chatted inside.
Chen Yi applies the same standards to every table and does not discriminate based on gender.
Looking at the big pot of pork stewed with sauerkraut, Yang Hui picked up the bowl and swirled it vigorously with her tornado chopsticks.
Seeing this scene, Chen Yi was stunned.
Even though she grew up in a divorced family, she had never seen anything like this.
Others had long been accustomed to it. Whenever Yang Hui was at a meal, no one at the table with her would be in a good mood.
The others put the food into their bowls first, and then they ate slowly.
Chen Yi had no idea. She didn't even know what to pick up with her chopsticks.
Yang Hui has a bad habit when eating. She licks the chopsticks after putting food in her mouth.
That would be fine, but when he took too much, he just stood up, used the basin to hold the chopsticks, and opened his mouth to eat, with the vegetable basin below.
All the drool went in.
Seeing this scene, Chen Yi’s frown could have pinched a fly to death.
Who are these people?
The others ate in silence. Lin Mei said to Chen Yi, "Go to the kitchen and get some for yourself. You won't be able to eat like this."
There is no way. It’s like this. Most people can’t eat it.
Chen Yi shook her head. She had no appetite at all.
What are you eating? I don’t want to eat when I see this person eating.
After eating, several people looked at Yang Hui.
Wow, this guy finished one bowl and went to get another one.
A large pot of rice was steamed, and she ate two 400-ounce bowls by herself.
Chen Yi looked at her thin body and wondered where did she get the half pot of food and two bowls of rice?
No one touched the remaining food, so it was wasted.
"Have you finished eating? There are still so many dishes." Yang Hui wiped her mouth with her sleeve and looked at the dishes on the table with unsatisfied look.
If she could eat more, she would definitely continue to eat.
It’s indeed meat, it smells really good.
Thanks for the lazy reward.
