An Shucheng glanced at his older brother and, after receiving his consent, said, "Okay, then we'll eat here tonight. But can you cook? If not, I'll call two chefs."
Although it's a bit far from their home, it's still quick to cook with just two cooks. He knows his two younger sisters have never been good at cooking.
I wonder if the two next to me would, but in ancient times men didn't go into the kitchen, so they probably wouldn't either.
Xia Hua shook her head, "No need, I can cook, and we have plenty of food here. It's cold now, so hot pot is perfect. Yu Mo and Yu Bai can cook too, so we'll definitely make something to eat."
"As long as the meat is cut and the vegetables are washed, you can eat it. Do you want dried wild mushrooms or fresh ones? If you want dried ones, I'll put them in the pot and stew them together."
"I didn't expect that after traveling to ancient times, you could even cook. You're really amazing. I admire you, Second Brother. You also have wild mushrooms? What kind?" Although he had eaten wild mushrooms before, he hadn't done it often. He just tasted them and neither liked nor disliked them.
An Shuyi took out two basins, one containing fresh wild mushrooms and the other containing dried wild mushrooms. There were all kinds of wild mushrooms in the basin.
"These are the things, Second Brother, take a look and see if there's anything you like to eat. These are all things that Hua Hua and I found in the forest. We always add them to hot pot, and they taste amazing."
An Shucheng glanced at the bowl she had brought out and said, "Then let's eat both kinds. I'll wash the vegetables and cut the meat with you. Although I can't cook, I can still clean them without any problems."
He had never done it before, but he had seen the nanny at home do it. They learned all kinds of knowledge from a young age and wouldn't waste their time on other things.
As for things like laundry and cooking, there's even less need to do them. Besides being unnecessary to learn, they would just waste time. If you have the money, you can hire a housekeeper for your home; there's no need to do them yourself.
Xia Hua shook her head, "Second brother, you and eldest brother sit in the living room and rest. We'll be done soon. You don't need to help. They'll cut the meat, I'll be in charge of making the soup, and Shu Shu will be in charge of washing the vegetables. It'll be quick."
An Shuheng came over and said, "Take out the vegetables and I'll wash them. Let Shushu go play over there. She doesn't know how to wash them, and we don't want her to eat muddy food."
Seeing that Hua Hua assigned the vegetables to Shu Shu to wash, you can tell that she definitely doesn't know how to cook, unlike Hua Hua. But it doesn't matter if she doesn't know how; there are plenty of people in the family who don't know how to cook, so we won't miss her.
He can cook for himself, since he eats often. Although he can go out to get food, he will still cook for himself when he is in the wild.
"Brother, I know how to wash them, and the vegetables here are very clean; there's no way they could have mud on them." She's washed them so many times; how could there possibly be mud?
"Even if you know how to wash them, you don't need to. Just leave the vegetables here and go out to play. Otherwise, this place is too cramped to accommodate so many people."
Helpless, An Shuyi had no choice but to take out all the vegetables she wanted to eat that night and put them in a bowl: various wild mushrooms, cabbage, potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce, lotus root, scallions, garlic sprouts, spinach, garland chrysanthemum, and cilantro.
Tiger meat, lion meat, venison, roe deer meat, beef and mutton are also essential, as are deer tendons and beef tendons, which are especially delicious.
The tofu, bean curd sheets, and sweet potato noodles made in the village are also delicious; we must prepare plenty of them.
"Huahua, what kind of chicken are you using for your soup?"
She has three kinds of chickens: fat chickens from the trading system, wild chickens hunted in the mountains, and extra-large chickens hunted in the small world.
Xia Hua replied without any surprise, "About five catties of chicken from the small world should be enough. Too much won't fit in the pot, and there are other things to add."
Although the chickens and pheasants in the trading system are delicious, she felt that the soup made with chickens from the small world would definitely taste better, and the meat would be even tastier.
"No problem!" She took out a few pounds of chicken from the warehouse and put it in a basin, which weighed about five pounds, before going out to wait.
I turn on the TV, sit on the sofa, scroll through my phone, and see what news is out and what major national events have happened.
An Shucheng sat next to her, took out his laptop to handle company matters. He hadn't dealt with company matters for several days because he was busy picking up Shushu and the other person; he had a ton of work to do.
But these two girls are still unrepentant. Making him run the errand again, it seems I shouldn't buy them a car next time, let them suffer a bit.
Xia Hua and her group were quite fast; it was only a little past five in the afternoon, and the food was already prepared. Since there were many people, they didn't sit in the living room to eat but went to the dining room.
The large table was covered with many dishes, and in the middle was a pot full of soup, which was bright red and looked very appetizing.
"Big brother, second brother, what kind of wine do you want to drink? How about some strong liquor? It's brewed by the villagers of Taoyuan Village, it's especially delicious. Ginseng wine and deer blood wine are also good, but you can't drink too much of them," An Shuyi asked.
An Shuheng paused in his chopsticks-holding motion, and before he could speak, An Shucheng said from the side, "You two can drink?"
How come he didn't know these two girls could drink when he was investigating? Could it be that his subordinates didn't investigate thoroughly enough? But thinking about it, it makes sense; their skills were something they hadn't investigated thoroughly either.
Xia Hua dared not speak while reading, so she said, "Before we traveled through time, we would drink, but only a small cup. It wasn't until we went to ancient times that we drank more."
"After all, we were fleeing famine every day, walking all day long, and we couldn't get any rest. We didn't eat or sleep well, and we could only drink some wine. We also had to run a workshop, which was exhausting."
"In order to be able to come back, I had to lead troops into battle. Every night, I couldn't fall asleep without drinking a little. We were already over fifty years old when we went to war."
“Now that he’s already taken care of Grandma, it’s normal for him to have a drink, right, Second Brother?”
An Shucheng thought about it and felt that although it was a far-fetched explanation, they worked so hard, so let them drink. He himself often drank too.
"You can drink, but don't get drunk. It's bad for your health, especially outside, where you might encounter danger. You can only drink a little at home."
An Shuyi nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, Second Brother, we'll definitely drink less. Tonight we'll just have strong liquor, and we can drink other kinds of alcohol another day."
After saying that, she took out six cups and several jars of wine. As soon as she opened them, she smelled the aroma of wine. She filled the cups and said, "Big brother, second brother, come on, let me toast you to celebrate the return of Hua Hua and me."
The group picked up their glasses, clinked them together, and then downed them in one gulp. However, only Xia Hua and An Shuyi drank them all; the other four only took a sip.
"Big brother, second brother, don't be shy, eat up." After saying that, he picked up his chopsticks and put the meat in to cook.
