Forget it, we're getting married anyway, so I might as well treat him better in the future.
Yan Rushan didn't know that he had been given a good remark for his good performance; he was now helping Goudan put things in order, and Yan Ruhai didn't let him go either.
The meat can be cut in advance and put on the balcony upstairs to freeze, but this is not the case with vegetables. If you don’t eat them after washing them, they will have a smell overnight. If you don’t wash them every time you eat them, it will feel unclean, so it is better to prepare them on the spot.
"Yuxiu, it's time to go to my house for dinner." After everything was put in order, Yan Rushan reminded him.
"Okay." Zhong Yuxiu nodded in agreement and put down the things in her hands. "Goudan, don't leave the vegetables outside. Cut the meat and bring it upstairs. Remember to cover it with something when you cut it."
"drop."
Goudan responded, and Zhong Yuxiu was relieved. She went to Yan's house with the Yan Rushan brothers.
When Old Master Yan saw them, he couldn't hide his smile. "He Jun family, the meal can be served. Yuxiu and the others are back."
"I'm coming, I'll be right there. Xiaohai, Dashan, come and serve the dishes. Yuxiu, you guys take a seat first." Song Man's voice arrived before she even left.
"Yuxiu, come and take a seat first." Old Master Yan walked to the table and pointed to the place where Zhong Yuxiu had sat before.
Yan Hejun walked forward and also made a gesture of invitation.
"Okay, Grandpa Yan, Uncle Yan."
After the old man took his seat, the meal quickly arrived. The three of them worked quickly, filling the table with meat and vegetables, none of them leftover from lunch. Zhong Yuxiu looked at them, but hesitated to ask. They were treating her with such sincerity that she couldn't help but understand. Asking at this moment would be embarrassing.
Wouldn’t it be better if everyone just kept it a secret?
After dinner, Mr. Yan, Yan Hejun, and Zhong Yuxiu talked for a while before letting them go.
Before leaving, Zhong Yuxiu extended an invitation, "Grandpa Yan, Uncle Yan, Aunt Yan, Xiaohai, we're having a party tomorrow, and you all must come. Brother Yan's friends will also be coming, so it will be a lively occasion."
Mr. Yan wanted to agree, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything.
Song Man said, "Yuxiu, you won't feel comfortable if we go. You should just have fun. Chinese New Year is coming in two days. I'll ask Dashan to pick you up and bring you home to celebrate the New Year together. It would be so boring for you to celebrate the New Year alone. It will be more lively if you come."
The little girl has no family around her, and it feels lonely and awkward to spend the New Year there.
Zhong Yuxiu turned her gaze to the man beside her, and Yan Rushan coughed lightly.
"Grandpa, Mom and Dad, you all came together. Yuxiu has prepared all the ingredients. We're going to have hot pot tomorrow. We've prepared a pot each of clear soup and red oil. If you don't come, we won't be able to finish all the meat and vegetables."
It was difficult for Song Man to refuse now. They had been included in the plan a long time ago, and it would be inappropriate for them to refuse.
"Then go." Old Master Yan made the final decision. "Dashan, come back and get whatever Yuxiu needs. We just bought some New Year's goods at home, and we don't even have anything left."
"Everything is ready." Yan Rushan said.
Old Master Yan nodded and said, "Send Yuxiu back and have some rest early. We will be busy all day entertaining guests tomorrow." Entertaining guests is not just about inviting people to dinner; it can keep a person busy to death.
"Okay, Grandpa, Mom and Dad, I'll take Yuxiu home first."
Zhong Yuxiu smiled and thanked him, "I'll be leaving first. Thank you Grandpa Yan, Uncle Yan, and Aunt Yan for the delicious food today. Please come to our house early tomorrow to play."
"good."
After exchanging a few more words, Yan Rushan and Zhong Yuxiu finally left the Yan family.
When they got outside, Zhong Yuxiu felt relieved. "Brother Yan, do Grandpa Yan and the others like to eat noodles?"
"I like it." Who could complain when we have fine grains to eat these days?
"That's good. I'll ask Goudan to make some hot and cold noodles. If you're tired of hot pot, you can try it."
Yan Rushan nodded his chin slightly, "Yeah, sure, my parents and grandpa aren't picky eaters; however, they both like spicy food."
"I see."
After returning home, Zhong Yuxiu asked Goudan to prepare chili oil specially; whether it was hot noodles or two noodles, it would lack soul without chili.
That night, Yan Rushan went to Luo's house under the cover of darkness and came back with a large bag of things in his hands.
Zhong Yuxiu knew it was meat at first sight. She took the meat from his hand and asked, "How much is all this meat? Don't say you don't want money. This is not just your business."
"Fifteen dollars will be enough, and I'll give you ten kilograms of beef and mutton, and twenty kilograms of fresh pork."
"That's too cheap." Zhong Yuxiu stuffed thirty-five yuan into his pocket without hesitation. "That's not much. Mutton and beef are expensive anyway."
Yan Rushan shook his head, said nothing, and took the money; he thought of buying her some good things, not asking for the best, but hoping that she would like it.
Now that the beef and mutton were ready, Goudan cut them into thin slices and put them on plates overnight, then sent them to the balcony upstairs to freeze. Each plate of meat was covered with a layer of white cloth so that they would not have to worry about the meat spoiling in the freezing cold.
It was already midnight when she saw Yan Rushan off. She took a shower, washed her hair and lay down on the bed. She was thinking about the Yan family's affairs. The elders of the Yan family were really nice to her. Although they had just met, they did not treat her as an outsider.
He was warm and considerate, showed kindness to her in his words and deeds, and did his best to entertain her.
Otherwise, she would not have invited anyone else from the Yan family to the dinner party for friends tomorrow.
After a good night's sleep, Yuxiu slept so soundly that she didn't even notice when Goudan came in and out of the room.
When he got up, Goudan was no longer in the laboratory. He got dressed and went downstairs to wash up. When he went to the kitchen, he saw that the stove was filled with a wide variety of meat and vegetables, radish slices, potato slices, cabbage, leafy vegetables, coriander, beef and pork slices, and several kinds of snacks.
It’s a pity that there are no duck intestines and tripe. However, it would be strange to be able to eat them in this day and age. Duck intestines are only available when the ducks are slaughtered, and tripe is even harder to buy.
"Good morning, Master. The soup base is almost ready. Let it simmer for a little longer before it tastes better."
"Good morning." Zhong Yuxiu walked forward. The soup was stewed in two pots, one with red oil and the other with clear soup. The clear soup base was stewed with chicken and ginseng. The fishy smell was skimmed off, and the soup base was thick and fragrant.
"Goudan, where did the ginseng come from?" She remembered that she had never bought ginseng before.
Goudan turned around and said, "Master, these are the things in the welfare package for you. I found them while searching. There are two ginseng plants, one ten years old and one fifty years old. The one in the chicken soup is the older one. According to Goudan's records, ginseng is a good thing. It can replenish the body's vitality and is especially good for the human body. I stewed it for you to nourish you well."
"Okay." I hope I don't get a nosebleed from eating.
She is in very good health, with special energy constantly repairing and improving her physical condition. Now her physical condition is very good; I am just worried that she may not be able to be nourished. However, it may not be the case for other people, so it would be good to provide nourishment for them.
"Master, you haven't had breakfast yet. There are steamed buns and porridge in the steamer inside the pot, warming them for you." Goudan opened the steamer and brought out the porridge. He also took out a plate and took out a few steamed buns and buns and gave them to her. "Have breakfast first. I'll make hot and cold noodles later."
"It's just that when they eat the noodles, they need to add seasoning themselves; Goudan doesn't know their taste and can't replace them."
