"Qiaoqiao, it is my greatest luck to meet you when I go to the countryside. Do you know that I cried for several days before I came to the countryside? At that time, I wanted to cry when I thought about the delicious food in Shanghai that I couldn't eat here. But after I came here, I lived with you and ate so many delicious foods. I am so happy."
As Shen Nian spoke, she stretched out her hands and hugged Nanqiao. Nanqiao looked at her hands full of water and subconsciously tried to hide, but she was caught by the water.
"Okay, okay, don't get me wet. If you like, eat more later." Nanqiao patted Shen Nian's back to comfort him.
"Of course, I must eat my fill," Shen Nianle said cheerfully, then let go of Nanqiao and continued to work. The sooner he finished, the sooner he could eat!
With the aroma in the yard, all the side dishes are finally ready.
It was still light and the breeze was blowing. Four people were eating hot pot around the stove, talking and laughing. It was so pleasant.
The rich food and comfortable environment made Nanqiao forget the era it was in.
Boom boom boom~
When the four of them were talking and laughing and eating happily, there was a knock on the door.
Nanqiao frowned slightly. Who would come here at this time?
Nanqiao got up and opened the door with doubts, and Sheng Yanchuan followed him out.
After opening half of the gate, he saw a gray-haired old man outside. When he saw the gate was opened, he looked a little embarrassed. He was not sure where the meat smell came from before, but now that the gate was opened, he was sure that it was this family.
But there was a screen in the yard. Although I could smell the rich aroma of meat when I opened the door, I couldn't see what was going on inside the yard.
"Hello, what can I do for you?" Nanqiao saw that the old man was looking inside, so he moved to block his view and asked.
Nanqiao spoke, and the old man shifted his gaze to Nanqiao. He had come here because of the aroma of meat before, but now he was surprised by how pretty the girl was. If it weren't for the big meal today, he wouldn't have known that there was such a pretty girl next door. Even the man behind him was good-looking, and they were a perfect match.
"Excuse me, what can I do for you?" Nanqiao asked again when he saw the visitor was in a daze. Although the old man kept looking into the yard, which was a bit impolite, he had a kind face and was not annoying, so Nanqiao asked a few more questions in a rare good-tempered manner.
"Oh, sorry, little girl, I live next door to you, just call me Grandpa Zhu," the old man introduced in a familiar manner.
"Grandpa Zhu, my name is Nanqiao, but why are you here so late?"
"Oh, yes, yes, I forgot something. What's going on here? Are you guys having dinner?" Mr. Zhu said, looking into the yard.
Nanqiao nodded without saying anything, waiting for the other party's next words...
Seeing that the girl didn't respond, Mr. Zhu had no choice but to say shamelessly, "Do you have any more food? Can you give me some? I'll buy it!"
As Mr. Zhu spoke, he looked around and saw that there was no one around. He took out a very round black pearl from his pocket. Nanqiao's eyes lit up when he saw it. Although such a good black pearl was not as precious as jade, it was not cheap.
"Grandpa Zhu, this pearl is very expensive. I'm afraid it's not worth exchanging it for a meal." Although Nanqiao was somewhat tempted, he was still somewhat on guard.
"It's okay, it's okay. The aroma of your food is worth it!" Seeing the girl's excitement, Mr. Zhu smiled, as if the delicious meat was already in his hands.
Sheng Yanchuan and Nanqiao looked at each other. Nanqiao took the bead and said to Grandpa Zhu, "Grandpa Zhu, why don't you come in and eat with us?"
"No, no, just give me enough for two people. Your grandma Zhu is still waiting for me at home." Grandpa Zhu smiled with his eyebrows curved.
"Then why don't you go home and wait for me for a while, Grandpa Zhu? We have almost finished eating what we prepared earlier. I will prepare some more and send it to you later."
"Okay, okay, I'll go home and wait for you. I'll be at your house." Grandpa Zhu said, pointing to the yard next to him.
"Okay, half an hour at most," Nanqiao said. After seeing off Mr. Zhu, he returned to the yard with the pearls. The four of them had almost finished eating, and the ingredients that Nanqiao had put into the kitchen were taken out.
Shen Nian looked at Nanqiao, "Qiaoqiao, are you still not full? What do you want to eat? Eat the other food first, and I will cook for you."
"It's okay, let me do it. The old man next door smelled the fragrance and wanted to eat it, so he came over and bought some. I'll make it for him."
Shen Nian nodded and didn't argue anymore after hearing this. After all, her own cooking skills... well... it's hard to describe... she should not get involved in the food bought by others.
So the four of them continued to sit in the yard and chat about everything under the sun. Nanqiao and Sheng Yanchuan cooked and chatted at the side. They also cooked some easily digestible food for fear that the old couple could not eat hard food due to their age.
"You guys stay in the room, we'll go and deliver the things, it'll be quick." Nanqiao said to Shen Nian and Li Zhuoran before leaving the house with Sheng Yanchuan.
The small clay stove, the separate small pot and the vegetable and meat skewers were all taken to the next door. After knocking on the door, Nanqiao, who was standing in front of Mr. Zhu's door, looked at the things in front of him.
"Well, that's good. It's worthy of the black pearl."
As soon as I knocked on the door, I heard the old man's happy voice from inside, "It's coming, Xiaonan, wait a minute, the old man is slow."
Mr. Zhu kept muttering, without stopping his steps.
The door was opened, and Mr. Zhu looked at the things at the feet of Nanqiao and Sheng Yanchuan, and was so excited that he couldn't help but say, "This, this is too much." Although the pearl is good, it won't sell for much money even if it is sold on the black market now, let alone so much meat.
