Chapter 40 Want to Steal



If Yi Xiaoqiu were here, he would definitely say that wild boars cannot eat fine bran!

What is Yi Xiaoqiu doing at this time?

She entered the farm and handed the meat directly to the housekeeper, saying that there were 30 adults eating and making braised lion's head.

But how could that little bit of meat be enough? The housekeeper directly ordered the farm robot to kill a newly raised pig, cut off a pound of meat, and use it to make braised lion's head.

After Yi Xiaoqiu gave instructions to the housekeeper, he didn't need to worry about anything else. He started a fire in the stove outside as soon as he came out of the farm.

It would be too unreal if she was cooking and there was no smoke coming out of the chimney.

So no matter what, you still have to boil some hot water, make some noise, and pretend to do it.

At this moment, she could hear clearly the conversation of the people outside.

Yi Xiaoqiu rolled his eyes subconsciously.

Humph! A bunch of country bumpkins who have never seen the world actually say they will eat anything made of meat.

Also, what's up with Xie Xingyu, that foodie? He doesn't even give her any face. Maybe he got scared by the mushroom soup last time!

Although the mushroom soup was cooked on her stove, Shen Ruofei put the mushrooms in and cooked it with water by herself. How could it be her fault?

And Lu Huaian, who used to always ask her to borrow the pot to get firewood to boil water, and his attitude towards her was very warm, but in the end, this?

Oh! Men are so fickle!

I must let them know what it means to be unable to recognize Mount Tai with dog eyes!

After waiting for half an hour, the table had already been set outside, but there was no smell at all in Yi Xiaoqiu's room, and several people couldn't help but start to get anxious.

"Yi Zhiqing, is the braised lion head ready? The table is set, only your braised lion head is missing!" Xie Xingyi shouted from outside.

"Yes! Is it cooked? Open the door and let everyone see!" Lu Huaian also agreed.

"Brother Gu, where is the meat you bought?" Lu Rongrong came out of the house and saw a table full of vegetables. Her face turned green.

"Yi Zhiqing is doing it!" Lu Huaian pointed at Yi Xiaoqiu's closed door.

"Then when is it? It's almost time for dinner. She wouldn't be hiding in the house and eating secretly, right?" Gao Xiaowen looked doubtful.

It’s not easy for her to have a meal of meat, how can she let that bitch Yi Xiaoqiu get it first!

Liu Xiaoping said softly, "Why do you have to cook meat behind closed doors? Isn't that a bit..."

Did she deliberately leave her words unsaid, leaving room for others' imagination?

For a moment, no one spoke because Yi Xiaoqiu's behavior was a bit strange.

Gu Chengfeng said in a clear voice: "Yi Zhiqing said he would make us braised lion's head. It's a secret recipe passed down from generation to generation, so it's not convenient to disclose it."

Gao Xiaowen curled his lips. "Yi Zhiqing has been here for so long, and we haven't heard her say she can make braised lion's head. It's obvious she wants to steal some!"

Shen Ruofei glared at Gao Xiaowen, "Yi Zhiqing is not that kind of person!"

Song Ying also nodded, "I think so too. Who would be so stupid as to cheat so openly?"

Everyone else looked at each other! The educated youth didn't understand the situation and didn't say anything, but the pain they felt for the pound of pork was obvious on their faces.

It's been so long and there's still no movement, let alone the aroma of meat. Obviously the braised lion's head is not done.

Inside the house, the housekeeper came out from the farm carrying a large pot of braised lion's head.

That basin was a wooden basin that the housekeeper specially bought at the farmers' market. It was more than a foot in diameter and was filled to the brim.

"Wow! It's ready so quickly?" Yi Xiaoqiu's mouth was watering as he looked at the delicious braised lion's head.

"Master, it takes a long time because we have done too much." Butler Eleven placed the wooden basin on the long table.

Yi Xiaoqiu took the bowl and chopsticks and picked up a few to taste in advance.

"Hmm! Too much!" Yi Xiaoqiu ate three in one breath.

Outside, foodie Xie Xingyi sniffed fiercely, "Do you smell it? Do you smell the aroma of meat?"

Lu Huaian took a deep breath, his eyes lit up, "Yes! It's the smell of meat! It smells so good!"

Yi Xiaoqiu ate three in a row, wiped his mouth, and opened the door.

"The braised lion's head is ready, please bring it out!"

Gu Chengfeng ran in, and when he saw the full pot of braised lion's head on the long table, the expression on his face relaxed.

At least nothing was wasted. "Yi Zhiqing, thank you very much!"

"Wow! It smells so good!" Xie Xingyu looked at the pot of braised lion's head with shining eyes.

"Is this made of a pound of meat? That's so much!" Lu Huaian exclaimed.

Lu Huaian didn't doubt it. Nowadays, everyone has to cook a pound of meat for a meal.

Even if someone could cook a pound of meat in one meal, Lu Huaian had never seen it, so of course he didn't know how much a pound of meat would yield.

He was just sighing, because he had never seen such a big pot of cooked meat in his life.

Yi Xiaoqiu instructed Lu Huaian to move the long table out again.

In the backyard, there was a square table and a long table, which could barely accommodate more than 30 people standing in a circle.

I also prepared a lot of other vegetables, including beans, eggplants, green beans, cucumbers, and peppers, all in ceramic pots.

There were also various steamed buns, potatoes, rice and other staple foods placed next to it. All of them were taken from the canteen.

The braised lion's head immediately attracted everyone's attention when it arrived. Gu Chengfeng held the wooden basin, his back straighter than before.

He had to stand up straight, because those people were blaming him openly or secretly for not protecting the pound of pork and letting Yi Xiaoqiu ruin it.

Now that she was older, not only did she not lose a pound of meat, but she also managed to make braised lion's head. As for the taste, it was secondary as long as the meat was not wasted.

In fact, it was not just Gu Chengfeng who thought so, others also thought so. As for the taste, they had also eaten the dishes cooked by Yi Xiaoqiu, so they didn't have any high expectations for the taste. As long as the food was not wasted, it was fine.

Although they thought so, after smelling the overbearing fragrance, no one present wanted to try it.

"It's time to eat!" Gao Xiaowen stared at the braised lion's head in the wooden basin and shouted.

Gao Dazhuang and the others also stopped, washed their hands and prepared to eat.

As soon as the braised lion's head was served, everyone stretched out their chopsticks to eat it as if they had made an appointment.

It smells so good that it makes people drool.

Logically speaking, people nowadays are reserved in everything they do.

This is even more true when eating out. No matter how hungry I am, I will not eat big mouthfuls of food at someone else's house. I will only take half a bowl of rice, and I will need others to help me pick up the vegetables before I eat them. I will not pick up my chopsticks easily.

But that day, all the reservedness was thrown aside by Gao Dazhuang and his friends, and all they could see was the pot of braised lion's head.

"Yi Zhiqing, your cooking skills are pretty good! It would be a waste to put all that meat in my hands." Luo Wanlin smiled and picked up a braised lion's head.

Yi Xiaoqiu didn't intend to respond. "I like eating braised lion's head, so I made this dish and ate a little of it, unlike Sister Luo who eats everything she cooks."

It seems that I can't show off my skills easily in the future, otherwise it will be too difficult to explain and it will easily cause misunderstandings.

Yi Xiaoqiu heard what Gao Xiaowen and the others said outside just now through the door.
