Chapter 253:
Lunch was a meal at Donglaishun, a place often mentioned in novels. As soon as the steaming copper pot came up, the chill in his body was half gone. Xiao Yu had eaten there with his classmates in later life, but he felt that the mutton then wasn't as delicious as it is now.
Just like air, the mutton of this era made him feel that the meat was more fragrant, tender and clean.
In the past, when we had mutton hotpot, there were probably so many choices that we just ate it.
Here, you will be left wanting more after eating and will be reluctant to leave.
"Next time, let's try it at home." Xiao Yu thought of the lamb skewers and lamb tripe buns while eating the hot pot. Having been spoiled by countless delicacies from later generations, his palate wouldn't give in so easily.
Zhou Yan understood him and immediately understood what he meant: "If you want to eat it, I can prepare it for you tomorrow."
"Really? Then let's make more lamb tripe buns and lamb sausages this time. The last time we made them wasn't enough."
Zhou Yan nodded in agreement. The mutton tripe buns from last time were indeed delicious. If they were replaced with mutton like today, it would be even more delicious.
☆
"What are lamb tripe buns and lamb sausage?" Mr. Zhou was curious.
When Xiao Yu encountered something he loved to eat, he would get particularly excited and immediately explain it to the other party. After the explanation, he added: "It's really delicious, Grandpa. I'll make it for you to try tomorrow."
"Hearing what you said, my mouth is watering. I'll ask Xiao Liu to help ask if he can get a ready-made one from here."
"Hehe, Grandpa, then give us some more sheep tripe, otherwise it won't be enough. We need sheep intestines too."
"Haha, good!" Grandpa Zhou was laughing when he saw Long Xunhai walk into the store with a girl. Long Xunhai was very tall, so his appearance attracted the attention of many people in the store.
Long Xunhai also noticed Mr. Zhou and Zhou Yan and his party, but he quickly looked away and pretended not to know them.
☆
The male protagonist pretending not to know them saved them the trouble of socializing, Xiao Yu thought. With the male protagonist's bad temper, who would want to socialize with him? However, the laws of fiction never lie. Just as their meal was about to end, several more young men entered the door.
There were four young men in this group, one of whom claimed to be the heroine's cousin. He spoke and acted in a nonchalant manner, and the first thing he did was ask the heroine and the hero to treat him to a meal.
The heroine was naturally aloof and ignored him, but the other party was relentless.
After a while, the young man began to make threats, intentionally or unintentionally, and said some ambiguous words. In those days, there was not much entertainment, and the young man's words, which contained some gossip, attracted the attention of everyone in the store.
But it was obvious that the heroine's personality was to be high and mighty, not to argue with ants. Xiao Yu was worried for her, but she remained as steady as a rock.
Xiao Yu couldn't understand what kind of person this was! She only needed to open her mouth and tell him that she was replaced by her biological grandmother and that her cousin had enjoyed the wealth and glory that should have belonged to her.
This incident easily takes the moral high ground. No matter what the cousin says, the audience will initially sympathize with him.
☆
But, the heroine doesn’t say anything!
The male protagonist didn't say anything, just let the young man chatter.
Xiao Yu climbed onto the table, and Zhou Yan asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Yu raised his hand and said, "Leave me alone. I don't want to meddle in other people's business."
Zhou Yan almost lost his composure, pursing his lips and trying hard to suppress his laughter. Xiao Yu had just been muttering in his head that the woman sitting with Long Xunhai was the one from the cemetery. He even said they were actually an engaged couple, betrothed since childhood. It was just that the woman had been swapped between his grandmother and his aunt when they were little.
The current situation is clearly a matter of just a word, but Long Xunhai and the woman refused to speak, which made Comrade Xiaoyu, who was eavesdropping at his house, very anxious.
Mr. Zhou was an intelligence officer. He could know everything within a thousand-meter radius just by sitting there. He was also good at understanding what was happening in the same room.
Now, looking at the quarrel between his grandson and his wife, he smiled and said, "Little Fish, if you don't eat it now, it will be gone soon! This is the last plate."
When Xiao Yu heard that it was the last dish, he sat up straight and saw that Zhou Yan had just scooped out half of his bowl.
Looking at the child's beaming expression, Grandpa Zhou thought to himself: This kid is really easy to coax! However, it's rare for someone to get so angry while watching the fun that he becomes angry.
☆
Xiao Yu and his group ate slowly. In order to watch the end, many people in the room ordered mutton.
Unfortunately, the 'cousin' obviously didn't want to be treated like a monkey, and suddenly he exploded!
When the copper pot was smashed, the heroine could have dodged it, but she still got her hands and face injured. The hero dodged quickly, so he was basically not hurt.
Fortunately, no customers were injured because they were located in the corner of the store.
When the cousin suddenly got angry, Xiao Yu and the others had almost finished eating. Xiao Liu was the first to escort Grandpa Zhou, who was holding his great-granddaughter, out of the house, and then Zhou Yan also took Xiao Yu away.
Fortunately, I met Lei Xiangqian at the door again.
"Hey, Happy New Year!" Lei Xiangqian greeted with a smile. Before he could continue the conversation, a loud bang was heard from the store.
Zhou Yan and Xiao Yu quickly took the opportunity to escape.
Don't bother hanging around with these "cultists" who are "stealing" incense everywhere.
☆
The four of them returned to the car. Fearing it would be difficult to get mutton tomorrow, Xiao Liu went downstairs again. He didn't know how he negotiated, but they agreed to get him an extra lamb the next day.
As a result, they may need to add a few people to their family dinner.
