"When making blood duck, duck blood is the key." Chu Xun said as he opened the lid of the pot.
The fragrance hit him in the face and spread throughout the entire youth league site. Xiaobai drooled all over the floor, wagging his tail constantly, and the word "want to eat" was written all over his body.
Li Xiyue rubbed its head and said, "Don't be impatient, it's not cooked yet."
"Woof woof." Xiaobai called to her in a low voice, "We wang can eat raw, we are not picky."
Li Xiyue said with a smile: "That won't work. You'll get sick. Let's wait a little longer."
"All right."
Chu Xun used a spatula to scoop out the soup, put it into the duck blood, and began to stir the duck blood.
He stood tall in front of the stove, making the stove look a little small.
The apron looked a little out of place on him, but he looked very serious while working and had a unique charm that was very attractive.
Li Xiyue held her chin and looked at him with a faint smile on her lips. It turned out that men who cook seriously are the most attractive.
Wang Jiaxing and Huang Xinrui, who were learning to cook nearby, made faces at the sight of this.
"The duck blood needs to be stirred into this state, so that the blood looks good." Chu Xun asked the three people to look at the duck blood in the bowl.
Wang Jiaxing said: "It seems that it takes some skill to stir it well."
"Actually, there's no skill required, just keep stirring vigorously. Your hands might get sore at first, but you'll get used to it."
After Chu Xun finished speaking, he saw that the soup in the pot was almost gone, and said to Li Xiyue who was stoking the fire: "Turn down the heat now."
Li Xiyue nodded and took out the extra firewood from the stove.
After adding the side dishes and stir-frying until cooked, Chu Xun began to bleed the duck meat.
Pour the duck blood into the pot and stir constantly until the duck blood evenly coats the duck meat, then add more fire and stir-fry the duck blood until cooked.
"It smells so good." Huang Xinrui was spinning around the stove, and Xiaobai was also spinning with her.
The man and the dog were extremely excited.
Wang Jiaxing pulled her sleeve and said, "There are guests here, please pay attention to your appearance."
"Deputy Captain Chu is not an outsider." Huang Xinrui said with a smile.
Chu Xun liked to hear this. He said with a relaxed expression, "Everyone, don't be restrained. You are Xiyue's friends, and I am also Xiyue's friend. Then we are all friends. It's okay to be casual among friends."
"See, I told you that Deputy Commander Chu isn't as old-fashioned as you." Huang Xinrui glared at Wang Jiaxing and looked outside. "The weather's getting hotter lately. Let's go to the yard to eat."
The weather was getting hotter and it was getting darker later, but now it was still light outside.
Wang Jiaxing and Li Xiyue both agreed. Wang Jiaxing moved the table outside, Huang Xinrui and Li Xiyue moved the stools outside, and Chu Xun put the duck meat in a basin and brought it to the table.
Huang Xinrui went into the house again to get the dishes and chopsticks.
Wang Jiaxing asked, "Are you still cooking vegetables?"
The duck was very fat and there was a big bowl of it, enough for the four of them to eat.
"Of course I stir-fry," Huang Xinrui said. "Having meat and vegetables is a good life."
Wang Jiaxing's tone was full of doting, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Li Xiyue smiled, these two people seemed to be acting like an old married couple.
Chu Xun was right. The vegetables fried with duck fat were very fragrant and fresh. They tasted amazing when eaten with rice.
But the most amazing one is the blood duck. Although it is fried with duck blood, it has no fishy smell at all. It is salty and spicy, and goes very well with rice.
"How can such delicious food be served without wine?" Li Xiyue went into the house and took out a bottle of wine.
Huang Xinrui asked Chu Xun, "How can Deputy Captain Chu drink? Our Yueyue can drink quite well."
"Really?" Chu Xun looked at Li Xiyue's glowing white cheeks. "Xiyue can drink a lot?"
Li Xiyue said modestly: "It's okay to have a few drinks."
She poured a glass of wine for all four of them and raised her glass. "Shall we clink glasses?"
"Cheers." The three of them raised their glasses, clinked them together, and then drank them all in one gulp.
Wang Jiaxing was not very good at drinking. The spiciness made his throat smoke and he choked and coughed.
"If you don't know how to drink, don't drink too quickly." Huang Xinrui picked up some food for him and said, "Eat some food quickly to calm down."
Wang Jiaxing ate some food and finally felt better. He blushed and said, "I can't spoil the fun."
"Don't force yourself if you don't know how to drink." Li Xiyue didn't pour for him and Huang Xinrui, but only filled the glass for Chu Xun, who remained calm. "Deputy Captain Chu, let's drink together."
Chu Xun held up the wine glass with his slender fingers, his eyes softening. "Since we're friends, don't call me Deputy Captain Chu. Just call me Chu Xun."
"How can that be? You are several years older than me. It would be rude of me to call you by your name." Li Xiyue said.
The words "several years older" pierced Chu Xun like thorns.
He was in a bad mood. Why did his parents have him so early? It was so frustrating that lesbians looked down on him because he was old.
Li Xiyue realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly corrected herself, "How about I call you Brother Chu?"
Chu Xun smiled bitterly, "Okay."
The two of them drank a few more glasses, but their expressions remained unchanged. Li Xiyue felt that he had met a worthy opponent and was in a very good mood.
"Two female comrades, one duck leg each." Wang Jiaxing put the juicy duck leg into the two people's bowls.
Li Xiyue and Huang Xinrui thanked him in unison, "Thank you, Wang Zhiqing."
Seeing that they got along so well, Chu Xun smiled happily.
The four of them ate until their bellies were full. Needless to say, they were all stuffed, especially Xiaobai, who had all the duck bones. He ate with great joy.
Wang Jiaxing was cleaning the kitchen, while Huang Xinrui took Xiaobai out for a walk to help digest the food.
It was dark and the moon came out. The faint moonlight sprinkled in the yard and on Li Xiyue's body, as if giving her a layer of silver light.
Li Xiyue drank a little too much tonight, and her snow-white cheeks were abnormally red, as if she had put on rouge, and her skin was white with a rosy glow, which looked very beautiful.
She lay on the table with her head resting on her arms, looking at the starry sky, her eyes sparkling.
She was truly content with this moment of peace.
In the end times, she lived in fear every day, worrying about being besieged by zombies, worrying about running out of supplies, and worrying about not having a safe place to live tomorrow.
Unlike now, I don’t have to worry about anything, I eat well and sleep well, and I have friends and such a beautiful night.
Especially when Chu Xun was around, she felt inexplicably at ease, as if she was safe with him around.
It turns out that happiness in this world is so simple.
Chu Xun sat at the table, his hands on his knees, staring at her, fascinated.
The country is peaceful and the people are safe, and she is also here.
Nothing could make him feel more fulfilled and satisfied than this moment.
He clenched his fists and secretly decided to protect this beauty for the rest of his life.
"Brother Chu, look, the night sky is so beautiful." Li Xiyue said with a smile, pointing to the starry night sky.
Not to mention the end of the world, even in the future there will not be such a bright starry sky. The moon in this era is particularly bright. Although it is only the beginning of the month and it is a crescent moon, the moonlight is very bright and illuminates the surroundings.
Chu Xun looked up at the starry sky, his gaze still fixed on her face. "The night sky is beautiful, but not as beautiful as you."
