Chapter 299: You can’t think that I’m easy to fool and my words are not trustworthy just because I’m young, right?
She is talking nonsense. How can she give him the book?
Xia Huaishan chuckled, "Yeah! You are educated but I am not! I am afraid that if I buy something bad, I will make a joke and Rongrong will be disgusted."
He had only been educated for a few years, and every time he had to write a report or a self-criticism, he would basically ask Lu Beiye and other comrades to help him get it done, even if what he wrote was nonsense.
Wen Jiu said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll buy it for Rongrong some other day."
"Please help me shovel out the garbage first, and I'll clean out the ashes in the stove."
Even if the coal is not rotten, there will be ash, which needs to be cleaned out every day, otherwise the air inlet of the stove will be blocked by coal ash and no air will come in.
"Okay!"
"As you command!"
Xia Huaishan half-knelt down in a funny way, gave Wenjiu a strange salute, then stood up and went outside to get the garbage shovel.
Wen Chuji moved the rack beside the stove to warm the wine and used the fire tongs to remove the coal ash. Instantly, he felt the fire in the stove burning brightly. The bones cooked on it gurgled and emitted a rich aroma, which made him almost drool over the warm wine.
I haven't eaten hot pot for a long time. I really miss it.
The meat was not thawed yet, so it was difficult to cut. Lu Beiye spent a long time cutting and only managed to cut out two plates of meat.
Seeing that his hands were all rubbed red, Lu Qingqing prepared to take the kitchen knife and cut the food herself.
"Let me cut it, bro!"
"You can't cut it!"
"Go out and warm yourself by the fire. Don't stay here. Your sister-in-law bought some apples for you to eat." Lu Beiye didn't give the knife to Lu Qingqing. He continued to cut the meat without looking up.
Lu Qingqing said in surprise: "Brother, you haven't been home for many years, and you still remember that I love eating apples?"
Lu Beiye smiled faintly, "I just didn't go home, it's not like my brain has degenerated."
When they were young, their family had an apple tree. It was a branch that Lu Hongjun asked others to break off, and then grafted onto another tree. The apples were sour and astringent, but Lu Qingqing thought they were sweet and delicious. She could even eat up all the green ones that were too hard to bite.
"Hehe..." Lu Qingqing couldn't help but smile naively as she looked at Lu Beiye. She suddenly felt that Lu Beiye hadn't changed during these years of separation, and was still the fourth brother who loved her the most.
"Stop grinning like a fool."
Lu Beiye reached out and tapped her head, "Take the pepper out."
“Ohhhh.”
Lu Qingqing took the can of chili peppers and left.
Lu Beiye finished cutting both pieces of meat before coming out of the kitchen with the plate. By then, the pork rib soup in the pot was ready.
Wen Jiu moved a chair for Lu Beiye and asked him to sit next to him. "Eat the bones and bamboo shoots first, then make the vinegar sauce and cook the vegetables."
"Please eat more. Although you made it yourself, our purpose today remains the same. I wish you can write more and better articles in the future and achieve your goals."
Lu Qingqing's eyes were filled with sadness. She had never been valued so much before. Even though her family loved her very much, they would not prepare so many dishes to celebrate for her or invite people to dinner.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
"I will try my best."
Wen Chuji took out a pen from his pocket, turned around and handed it to Lu Qingqing, "This is for you, I hope you get what you want."
Lu Qingqing said: "Thank you, Brother Wen."
The pen is very heavy and you can tell from its appearance that it is not an ordinary product.
She feels so happy.
Xia Huaishan licked his lips awkwardly, "Why are you so unsociable? You didn't even tell me in advance that you were preparing a gift."
He is not prepared for anything!
"Sister, I'll give you the supplement in two days."
"Ouch!"
Wen Jiu deliberately said in a sarcastic tone, "Why are you trying to evade us with this again? You haven't even given us the thank-you gift from the last family recognition party, and you're owed again. I'm going to give you a profit!"
Lu Qingqing had become familiar with them and was no longer as shy as before. She also took up the topic of warming the wine and teasing Xia Huaishan.
"Yes, Brother Huaishan."
"You can't think that I'm easy to fool and don't keep my word just because I'm young, right?"
Xia Huaishan chuckled, "How can that be possible? Am I the kind of brother who would destroy the bridge after crossing it? I promise to get it done when you come back this weekend."
No matter who you owe, you can never owe Lu Qingqing!
Someone had to tear him apart.
"Keep your word!"
Wen Jiu wanted to use a spoon to pick up the bones to eat, but Lu Beiye was afraid that she would burn himself, so he took the spoon and picked them up for her. He also picked up a few pieces for each of Wen Chuji and the others.
The meat stew was extremely bad.
The aroma of bamboo shoots and mushrooms mixed in makes you feel very happy when you eat it.
Xia Huaishan's mouth was wide open due to the burn, but he was reluctant to spit out the meat in his mouth. The way he ate could be described as swift and unrestrained.
Wen Chuji and Lu Beiye's eating manners were okay, but their speed was not slow either.
Fortunately, Wenjiu knew how much they ate, so he prepared a lot of dishes. After they finished eating the food in the pot, he started cooking the meat rolls.
Wen Jiu reminded, "It's time to make the sauce."
As she spoke, she couldn't wait to take the bowl and go to the back to get the sauce. The rack surrounding the stove was too small to hold too many things, so the seasoning and some of the dishes were at the back.
Lu Beiye held Wenjiu's legs and said, "Sit down and I'll help you adjust the temperature."
Wenjiu pouted, "I want to mix it myself."
Lu Beiye subdued her with just one sentence, "Do you know how much salt to put in?"
Warming the wine: “…” Very good.
She doesn't know.
Seeing Wen Jiu handing the bowl over, Lu Beiye stood up to prepare the sauce for her, and also prepared the sauce for Wen Chuji and Lu Qingqing.
Wen Chuji asked: "Should we cook the meat first?"
"Cook the meat!"
"The soaked dried vegetables can also be put in to cook." Wenjiu held the bowl and watched eagerly. When he saw the meat was cooked, he immediately scooped out two chopsticks of meat and put it in Lu Qingqing's bowl.
"Try it and see how it tastes. Your brother cut the meat very thinly, so it should be delicious."
Lu Qingqing picked up two pieces and put them into her mouth. She cried because of the burn. She swallowed them quickly and felt her throat was burned.
“It tastes really good.”
"Sister-in-law, you guys should eat quickly too!"
“Eat, eat, eat.”
"Eat quickly!"
While warming the wine, he warmly invited everyone to eat, and took out the soaked dried vegetables from the back. The dried vegetables need to be cooked for a while longer to be fragrant, so you can put more in the pot and cook it a little longer so that it will be delicious later.
Now that we are not as hungry as before, everyone eats slower and chats while eating.
As I was eating and warming the wine, I suddenly remembered that there seemed to be two bottles of wine in the refrigerator, so I happily took them out and opened them, "Come on, fill them up. How can we have food and meat without wine?"
She is a typical foodie who loves to drink. Her eyes narrowed after just a few drinks.
“This is life!”
Wen Chuji was helpless, "Drink less, look at yourself."
Wenjiu pouted in dissatisfaction.
"What's wrong with me?"
Lu Beiye liked it best when she was slightly tipsy with warm wine, because that made her particularly wild, relaxed and willing to cooperate with him.
But Lu Qingqing is at home tonight, so it’s not possible.
He simply took the glass of warm wine and scooped some soup into her bowl.
"Drink some soup to moisten your throat!"
