Chapter 62 Everyone has a love for beauty

There is hardly any water downstream now, so they can't catch any fish even if they go there. What if something unexpected happens while fishing in the middle and upper reaches?

Hua Xiali used the several kilograms of fish head to make salted vegetable fish head soup; the fish meat was made into boiled spicy fish fillets, salted vegetable fish fillets, and braised fish cubes; the dirty parts were made into a separate fish hot pot.

Thinking that Huo Beixi couldn't eat spicy food, he put the salted fish fillet into the Lingquan space, and then put the other fish on the dining table at his third uncle's house. In the evening, he also called his fourth uncle's family over, and the three families sat together to eat a fish feast.

After all, it is a big fish weighing dozens of kilograms, with so much meat. It is a hot summer now. Wouldn’t it be a pity if we can’t finish it and let it go bad?

In the evening, everyone sat in the open space in front of the door to enjoy the cool air. Hua's father, who was able to sit up, was in a much better mood. He was chatting with his third uncle and fourth uncle about hiring someone to harvest the rice in the field.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Hua Xiali quietly came to the backyard. After going out through the small door, he took out the salted vegetables and fish fillets that he had collected earlier from the Lingquan space, and then walked towards Huo Beixi's house.

Arriving outside Huo Beixi's house, Hua Xiali reached out and knocked gently on the door. Huo Beixi soon came over to open the door. Hua Xiali handed over the pickled vegetable and fish fillet in his hand and said, "I'm lucky today. I caught a big fish in the river. I'll make pickled vegetable and fish fillet soup tonight and leave a plate for you."

"Thank you." Huo Beixi took it with a slight smile on his face. "I'm making dumplings right now. Do you want to come over and have some?"

"Okay!" Thinking that he had something to ask Huo Beixi, Hua Xiali directly accepted his invitation.

Huo Beixi closed and locked the courtyard door, then walked to the kitchen with the salted vegetable and fish fillet soup. Hua Xiali followed him to the kitchen and saw the dough and dumpling fillings on the table. He really admired Huo Beixi.

"I didn't expect that you still have the time to make dumplings in such a hot day." Hua Xiali pulled out a bench and sat down, looking at Huo Beixi with his hands on his chin.

"There's a saying that food is the primary need of the people. After a hard day's work, it's not too much to reward yourself with something delicious, right?" Huo Beixi put the salted vegetables and fish fillets on the stove, waved his hands, took off his big vest, and started to roll out the dough.

Hua Xiali turned his head away embarrassedly, and glanced at Huo Beixi from the corner of his eye. Seeing that Huo Beixi didn't seem uncomfortable at all, Hua Xiali had nothing to be embarrassed about, so he cast his eyes openly on Huo Beixi's strong and tight waist and abdomen. The healthy wheat-colored skin and the smooth muscle lines made Hua Xiali a little infatuated, and he couldn't wait to get his hands on it.

But she suppressed her inner impulse. She knew her own worth and also knew that such a man was not something a country girl like her could dream of.

But she can just take a look, admire it, and enjoy it, so there's nothing wrong with that, right?

After all, when we meet handsome men or beautiful women outside, we will take a few more glances at them. This is not a big problem. Everyone loves beauty!

Seeing a fan nearby, Hua Xiali stood up and took it. While fanning himself, he slightly moved his body away so that Huo Beixi on the opposite side could also feel the breeze and feel cooler.

As for helping him make dumplings, forget it. Men should not be disrespectful, especially when he is not your man. Even if he is your man, you should not get used to it. The more you disrespect him, the more lawless he will become and he will become more and more unreasonable.

Huo Beixi didn't have to knead too much dough, so it didn't take him long to wrap the dumplings. There were almost thirty or forty of them, and he didn't know if he could finish them all. Now Hua Xiali brought him a plate of salted fish, and it would be a waste if he couldn't finish them.

Seeing that the dumplings in the pot were cooked, Huo Beixi quickly scooped them out into two bowls. He then put the salted vegetables and fish fillets into the two bowls of dumplings and placed one of the bowls in front of Hua Xiali.

Looking at the bowl full of dumplings, Hua Xiali's eyes widened in surprise, "Isn't this too much? I can't finish it."

"My bowl here is full of space. It's okay. You eat first and we'll talk if you can't finish it." Huo Beixi handed the chopsticks to Hua Xiali, then sat down and started eating dumplings. The first thing he ate with chopsticks was the fish fillet. The white and tender fish fillet was fresh, fragrant and smooth, with the salty flavor of pickled vegetables. It was appetizing and delicious.

The first thing Hua Xiali ate was dumplings. The dumplings made by Huo Beixi were big and round, with rich fillings. There was not only meat but also something crispy and tender. However, Hua Xiali couldn't tell what it was.

"Huo Beixi, what is that crispy and tender thing inside the dumpling?" Hua Xiali asked curiously.

"Dice of lotus root." Huo Beixi looked at Hua Xiali, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

Hua Xiali nodded repeatedly, "It's delicious. This way the dumpling filling doesn't have the greasy feeling of pork, and the filling isn't so rigid either."

I didn't expect that he is not only handsome and in good shape, but also a good cook!

It was a hot summer day, and the temperature was very high at night. After eating the hot dumplings, Hua Xiali felt her whole body getting hot. She felt that hot sweat was flowing out of every cell, and she felt itchy and uncomfortable. Her clothes were sticking tightly to her back, and the sweat on her neck slowly disappeared into the collar.

Hua Xiali had a fish feast at her uncle's house that night and was very full. Huo Beixi's dumplings were really big, so she couldn't eat any more after three.

However, when she ate the dumplings, she stayed far away from her bowl, so the dumpling soup did not drip into the bowl. The dumplings in her bowl were still dry. If Huo Beixi was not full, he could still eat the dumplings she left.

Hua Xiali put the chopsticks on the table and looked at Huo Beixi, "I can't eat anymore."

Huo Beixi pulled the bowl over and placed it next to him.

Hua Xiali hesitated for a moment before looking at Huo Beixi and softly called out, "Huo Beixi."

"Huh?" Huo Beixi looked up at Hua Xiali and raised his eyebrows in confusion.

Hua Xiali took down the canvas bag that he had been carrying on his shoulder and handed it to Huo Beixi, "Huo Beixi, I have to go out tomorrow. Can you keep the things in here for me? If I come back, I will ask you to get them. If I come back late, please help me deliver these things to my house."

"Where are you going?" Huo Beixi raised his narrow eyes and looked at her steadily. The deep look in his eyes made Hua Xiali inexplicably reluctant to let her go.

"I'm going out of town." Hua Xiali's cheeks felt hot as he was stared at.

She definitely couldn't tell Huo Beixi where she was going or what she was going to do. Otherwise, what if he asked her to take the villagers with her?

She has a Lingquan Space. When she goes to purchase goods, she can put them into the space and bring them back. But if someone else goes with her, how will she carry so many goods back?
