The gift is small but the sentiment is great. Jiang Ning wanted to treat them to a good meal, so he didn't have to find an excuse. "I have frozen fish. How about grilled fish?"
There are also braised pork and spicy rabbit.
Grilled fish? The three of them drooled immediately. "What a problem!"
Zhang Chao said with envy. "Aning, you have more resources."
Jiang Ning rolled his eyes and said, "That's nonsense. When you were drinking and eating meat, Coke and I were eating bran and vegetables. We usually don't want to eat."
"Woof!"
The dog looked aggrieved. It ate bran every day and became thin!
Lu Yu complained, "I swear to God, we didn't hide the meat from you." They
almost grew up wearing the same pants, so who is not the roundworm in each other's stomach. Jiang Ning asked with a smile, "Are you sure you didn't drink secretly?"
The two panicked, "No, really not!"
As a man, what's wrong with drinking a little wine when you are depressed? I can't bear to drink more, just a few mouthfuls at a time, secretly chewing some meat jerky or something.
Lu Yu had a strong desire to survive, and he hugged Zheng Weili and said, "Wife, I really didn't, you have to believe my dear husband!"
Jiang Ning was woken up early in the morning for her birthday and stuffed with dog food. She was speechless, "If you want to show your affection, go back to the room. This is a public place. Consider the feelings of single people." Zhang Chao
almost burst into tears. An Ning was really good. He had been holding back for a long time!
There was a loud movement at the door. The door of 1801 opened and Huo Yishen walked out.
Lu Yu greeted him warmly, "Brother Shen, it's Aning's birthday today, come over for lunch."
Huo Yishen was slightly surprised, and immediately looked over, "Your birthday?"
"Yeah." Jiang Ning nodded, "What do you and Doudou like to eat? Today I'm not only treating but also cooking."
"I'm fine with anything." Huo Yishen is not picky about food, "You're a good cook, you can cook anything."
The three of them immediately gossiped. It's true that Huo Yishen had a disaster in the kitchen, but it didn't prevent him from having high standards and strict requirements.
Zhang Chao's crossbow shooting skills are great, but he never gets a compliment from him.
Aning hasn't even done anything yet, but he's already praised her. His double standards are so obvious.
There's nothing you can do, who can make like repels like and opposites attract.
Jiang Ning was a little embarrassed to be flattered by the big guy, "It's OK, just don't be picky."
What to pick? It's good to have something to eat in the end times.
Jiang Ning closed the door and went back to the house to prepare things.
He picked a seven or eight jin grass carp from the space, the rabbit was a domestic rabbit, and the pork belly was cut into about four jin. There are
only two rooms in 1802, and the space is small and can't be moved. Jiang Ning rarely lets the two neighbors in on the grounds that raising rabbits is smelly.
Kill the fish and cut the meat, and prepare the things first.
There is no grilled fish ingredients, so take one-third of the hot pot base instead.
When I prepared the ingredients and went out, I happened to run into Huo Yishen and Doudou. He took the things from Jiang Ning's hand and handed over a box of things, "Aning, happy birthday."
A box of exquisite chocolates.
No one refuses gifts on birthdays, Jiang Ning took it and said, "Thank you."
She put the things back in the house and turned on the fire at 1803.
Zhang Chao and Lu Yu moved the stove to the balcony to grill fish, and Huo Yishen followed them into the kitchen, "I can make braised pork in brown sauce, I'll make this, you just need to give me some pointers."
Neighbors help each other, and it can't wipe out the desire of poor students to improve.
Jiang Ning agreed readily, "No problem."
It was extremely cold, and she just didn't want to be the chef.
Huo Yishen didn't have the talent, but his steps were fine, and with Jiang Ning watching him, the braised pork was quickly out of the oven and poured into a casserole to be slowly stewed over firewood.
Everyone almost swallowed their tongues when they smelled the gurgling aroma.
The rabbit was stir-fried in a pot, and before adding the spicy sauce, I reserved a small half bowl for Coke and Doudou.
Finally, the fish was grilled. It was first charred with firewood, then put into the pot and poured with hot pot seasoning, and then put on mushrooms, tea tree mushrooms, bean curd and other side dishes, and then served on the charcoal stove and slowly cooked.
The two did not help the whole process. Doudou was painting on the sofa, and Coke squatted beside to supervise.
When it was done, Doudou ran over with the painting, "Sister, this is my birthday gift for you. I wish you a happy birthday and beautiful every day."
Wow, the little cutie is so thoughtful.
Jiang Ning took it and looked as if something was wrong, "Doudou, what did you draw?"
Circles and crosses, a bit magical, can't expect too much from a five-year-old child.
Doudou came over to explain, "This is my brother, this is my sister, this is me, and next to me is Coke. We live happily in the house hand in hand."
Uh, triangle, oval, rectangle, how do these shapes become an adult when put together?
Lu Yu came over and laughed at the magical painting, "Aning, didn't we draw like this when we were little?"
Living in an orphanage, who hasn't longed for family warmth and secretly drawn their parents, but gradually stopped having fantasies as they grew older.
"Really?" Jiang Ning had no memory.
This was not the point. The key was why Doudou drew her and Huo Yishen together, raising two of them and living in the same house?
Children's nature cannot be erased. Jiang Ning complained in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. "Doudou
's painting is great. Sister likes it very much." Doudou jumped up and smiled like a flower after being praised.
Zhang Chao was very cunning. "Doudou, why did you only draw Brother Shen and Aning? Where are we?"
Really, he was talking about something irrelevant. Jiang Ning wanted to poke him to death with chopsticks.
Doudou was confused by the question. He scratched his fingers and thought for a long time before saying, "Brother Zhang Chao, I will draw you in later."
"Doudou is great. We are all family."
Doudou looked at Zhang Chao, then at his brother, and felt that he was right, but it seemed that something was wrong.
Huo Yishen greeted them, "Let's eat."
Everyone sat down and continued to drink the five-grain liquid that they had not finished last time. "Come, I wish An Ning a happy 20th birthday every year, meat to eat every day, and eternal youth and beauty."
Yes, today is Jiang Ning's 20th birthday.
Unexpectedly, in the evil end of the world, there are so many people to celebrate her birthday with her.
"We don't have a cake, but we still have to make birthday wishes."
So Jiang Ning closed her eyes and made a wish, hoping that every member of the 18th floor could live safely and healthily until the natural disaster was over.
She raised her wine glass and drank it all, "It's all in this wine."
The grilled fish was delicious, the braised pork was fragrant, and the spicy rabbit was delicious.
Everyone ate and talked, talking about the time when they were children wearing open-crotch pants and fighting. Thinking of being beaten badly by Jiang Ning, Zhang Chao and Lu Yu still have psychological shadows.
Jiang Ning gave each of them a piece of meat to apologize, "I won't beat you up anymore in the future."
Zheng Weili also recalled her childhood, "I was strong since I was young, taller than boys, and I was very good at eating. I was always laughed at by the villagers, including my two brothers who were with them and threw mud at me on the road after school."
Later, she got angry and beat down more than a dozen people at a time, all of whom were bruised and swollen. That feeling was particularly good.
Since then, Zheng Weili has been obsessed with fighting. She has been invincible in the whole village. Even dogs hide when they see her. Later, she was discovered by the coach of the sports school and started to practice Sanda.
Then, their eyes fell on Huo Yishen.
To the 18th floor, Brother Shen’s past is a mystery. They are curious but dare not ask...
