Chapter 496: Isn’t he in danger?
In that instant, both of them seemed to have been electrocuted. They quickly looked away, their faces flushed.
Chen Xiuxian's heart was beating wildly. She didn't know what Lu Nanfeng meant by staring at her like that.
Is there something on her back?
No?
She has been embroidering in her room all day and hasn't been anywhere else, so what could she get stuck on?
Lu Nanfeng felt like he was caught peeping and was very embarrassed. He was afraid that Chen Xiuxian might misunderstand, so he delayed for a few seconds and quickly explained.
After all, we will meet each other if we look up. It would definitely be bad if something gets out.
"My name is Lu Nanfeng. Don't get me wrong. I wasn't staring at you on purpose. I just wanted to ask you whether you wanted to light the fire now or wait a little longer. I didn't know how to call you, so I..."
Who would have thought that she would suddenly turn around.
After hearing Lu Nanfeng's explanation, Chen Xiuxian suddenly understood, "So that's what happened. I thought there was something stuck on my back! You can burn it now while I cook the soup."
It’s just right to make the pancakes after the soup is cooked.
"My name is Chen Xiuxian, I'm 28 years old, I should be older than you."
Lu Nanfeng immediately said, "Sister Xiuxian, I will start roasting it now."
Chen Xiuxian originally wanted to correct Lu Nanfeng, saying that she was married with children and should call her sister-in-law, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was unnecessary.
The two of them are not familiar with each other.
It just made him embarrassed.
Lu Nanfeng is not good at cooking, but his skill in lighting a fire is impeccable. He quickly lights the fire and keeps it burning brightly. When the fire is done, he looks up and calls Chen Xiuxian.
"Sister Xiuxian can cook soup now."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Hearing Lu Nanfeng's call, Chen Xiuxian hurriedly put down the work in her hands, put some pork fat into the pot to melt it, then put the cut tofu in, fried until both sides were golden brown, added some garlic sprouts, and stir-fried the chopped cabbage, then poured two basins of water into the pot and waited for a while before putting the cabbage leaves in, sprinkled with chopped green onions, took the pot out of the pot, washed the pot, and hurried to roll out the steamed buns.
"I'm going to make some steamed buns, don't add any more firewood."
"I see."
Lu Nanfeng took out the unburned firewood from the stove and placed it in the ashes beside it, and moved the fire in the middle to both sides.
When she came over to warm the wine, she just heard Chen Xiuxian tell Lu Nanfeng to clear the table and invite everyone to come over for dinner. Lu Nanfeng said okay and got up and walked out. She felt that the two of them were as harmonious as a couple.
A couple?
She stroked her chin and thought about it, and felt that this was not impossible.
It just depends on what they think.
"Is it time to eat? I'll go call them. Second brother, please bring out the table! The sun is shining brightly today, let's eat in the yard!"
"Yes, then go ahead and call!"
Wen Jiu first called Zhao Helan, and then went to the store to call Zhou Lian and He Rongrong.
He Rongrong glanced at the street and saw that there were still customers walking this way, so she said, "Ajiu, you and Brother Zhou go eat first! I'm not hungry, I'll eat after you guys finish eating."
Zhou Lian said eagerly, "You go and eat, I'll stay in the store."
Warming wine: "..."
She shouted helplessly, "Why are you making excuses? You two can go eat and I'll be waiting in the store."
"Ah Jiu..."
"Hurry up!"
He Rongrong looked at Wen Jiu's unquestionable expression and exchanged a glance with Zhou Lian, then hurried to the backyard to eat.
The weather is cold and most people are active at noon, so there are more customers at this time. Some of them eat lunch early and come out for a stroll because it is warm at this time.
Lu Nanfeng brought the table out, Zhou Lian and He Rongrong washed their hands and went to help serve the food. When they ate, they would bring out the food and put it on the table for everyone to scoop themselves.
He Rongrong first scooped a bowl of rice for Wenjiu and placed it on the empty seat for her before scooping some for herself. Lu Nanfeng originally wanted to ask Wenjiu why she didn't eat, but when he saw He Rongrong scooped rice for her, he didn't ask.
Although Wenjiu calls him brother, he is Lu Beiye's brother after all, not Wenjiu's. If he cares too much about Wenjiu, people will gossip about him, which will be bad for her reputation.
The steamed bun is stuffed with fermented bean curd and paired with a light cabbage and tofu soup, which is especially delicious.
Zhao Helan can't eat spicy food. Even though her lips turned red from the spicy food, she still didn't forget to praise Chen Xiuxian, "Sister Xiuxian, the steamed buns you make are really delicious. They are yellow and crispy, and not stiff."
Chen Xiuxian was embarrassed by the compliment, "It's the fire that's good, not me. My usual cooking is not as delicious as today's."
The cooking time of baked steamed buns is very important.
If it’s too hot, it’ll burn easily; if it’s too small, it’ll become hard easily.
When Zhao Helan heard what Chen Xiuxian said, she immediately gave He Sheng a thumbs up and said, "I have to give Uncle He credit for that!"
He Sheng laughed and said, "The fire at noon today was not lit by me, but by Nan Feng."
As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Lu Nanfeng, causing Lu Nanfeng to say helplessly: "The fire is just the same, how can it be cooked well or not? The steamed buns are delicious purely because of Sister Xiuxian's good cooking skills, and it has nothing to do with me."
Both of them said that the other was good.
Everyone looked at him and then at Chen Xiuxian, and they all felt that they were an inexplicable match.
The man is elegant and the woman is gentle.
But no one said much, as none of them were the type to make jokes or be annoying.
Zhou Lian ate quickly. After she finished, she put the bowl down to warm the wine. When He Rongrong saw her stand up, she took a piece of steamed bun, tore it open and spread a little fermented bean curd on it.
As soon as Wenjiu came over, a steamed bun was handed to her from the side. Seeing that Wenjiu was about to put the steamed bun into her mouth, she quickly stopped her and said, "Drink some soup first and then eat the steamed bun."
This is what Xia Huaishan taught He Rongrong: before eating spicy food or drinking alcohol, you should eat something else first to cushion the pain.
Hearing He Rongrong's words, I wanted to tease her, "Did your brother teach you that?" But thinking that there were so many people around, I felt embarrassed and didn't say anything.
"Okay, okay."
"Listen to my housekeeper."
He Rongrong said helplessly: "You, I keep telling you but you never remember."
Wen Jiu blinked, "I'm with you every day, why do you remember it?"
"You make it sound like you're not going home."
"Then I'm here during the day, right?"
Zhao Helan looked at the two of them arguing and couldn't help but reveal an envious look. If only Liu Zhuzhu could treat her like this, she would be even happier after marrying Brother An Ning.
What a pity!
The girl looked at her like an enemy.
After the meal, everyone went about their own business. In the evening, Xia Huaishan came and took the warm wine out with a nervous look on his face.
"Sister-in-law, what do you think of me?"
????
Why do you ask?
Wen Jiu said in confusion: "It's good!"
"What if I compare myself to Second Brother Lu? Who do you think is better, me or Second Brother Lu?"
????
Wenjiu was even more confused after hearing this.
You two have never met each other, so how can you compare yourself with others?
“Everything is fine!”
All is well?
Isn't he in danger?
When Xia Huaishan heard Wenjiu's answer, his face turned pale. He anxiously grabbed Wenjiu's arm and looked like he was about to cry, "Sister-in-law, can we not do this?"
