When it came to decorating the courtyard, Liu Xing thought of Ma Jian, a very good classmate he had from elementary school to high school.

He remembered that when he was in high school, Ma Jian wanted to write love letters for Xie Lanxin, the girl he liked. It's just that Ma Jian didn't get admitted to college, and his family was poor, so he chose to study decoration with his uncle, and slowly there was less contact.

Liu Xing smiled and dialed Ma Jian's phone, which had been sealed in his mobile phone for a long time, and after a cold and warm meal, he told him about changing the courtyard into a farmhouse.

Ma Jian promised and said that he would come over in the afternoon.

What Liu Xing didn't expect was that half an hour later, the swarthy and sturdy Ma Jian appeared at the door of the courtyard with a beautiful young woman in a black Audi car, and Liu Xing hurriedly welcomed them into the courtyard with an unexpected surprise.

"Who is this?" Liu Xing looked at the beautiful young woman beside Ma Jian and looked a little familiar, and he couldn't remember it for a while, just when Ma Jian was smirking and about to introduce, Liu Xing patted his forehead and immediately knew who the young woman in front of him was, she was Xie Lanxin, the girl who Ma Jian asked him to write love letters on his behalf.

"Hahaha, what an accident!"

Liu Xing and Ma Jian laughed heartily, writing love letters on behalf of them is a secret between them, if Xie Lanxin knows that the love letter was written by Liu Xing, in case one of them doesn't do a good job and kicks Ma Jian in love with him, it will be a big bad thing to make the brothers turn against each other.

After a small talk in the house, they moved on to the topic of farmhouse decoration.

Unexpectedly, Ma Jian was very supportive of Liu Xing's farmhouse in his hometown, and also gave Liu Xing advice.

Ma Jian introduced several masters of cooking local cuisine and what they need to pay attention to when opening a farmhouse, and specially told him that he had a complete set of cheap tables and chairs for sale in Screw Village, not far away.

Liu Xing readily accepted Ma Jian's opinion, and the two chatted quite speculatively, and before they knew it, it was dark, and Liu Xing left them to eat.

Ma Jian originally wanted to excuse himself, but his aunt Zhu Ling had not come back from the field, and in Ma Jian's impression, Liu Xing was not very good at cooking.

However, he couldn't stand Liu Xing's retention and boasting, saying how good his boiled fish was, he had no choice, even if it was not delicious, he had to give his old classmates a face.

Liu Xing is now familiar with making boiled fish, and when he saw that it was dark, he didn't go to the reservoir to fish, so he directly asked the golden warrior to catch a three- or four-pound grass carp from the ethereal ring and go directly to the board to open the intestines and open the stomach and put the spirit water to boil it, of course, the premise of this qiē is that Xie Lanxin and Ma Jian, who are full of praise for drinking tea in the main house, will not know.

"What are you two boasting about?" Liu Xing smiled and took out a melon picked from the ethereal ring, washed it and put it on the table, wiped his hands and said, "It will take a while to boil the fish, if you are hungry, you can eat the melon first to fill your stomach."

"Old classmate, in order to entertain us, did you brew all the tea specially provided by Zhongnanhai for me? What kind of tea is this, the refreshing fragrance is unforgettable! Ma Jian's sycophant words meant that there would be another cup of tea.

Liu Xing smiled and made tea for Xie Lanxin and Ma Jian: "There is tea on the market, if you want it, I will give you a pack, but then again, the reason why this tea is so delicious is that it can have a unique tea brewing technique." He didn't say that this tea was the tea planted by his grandfather in the Ethereal Ring, and there were some things that he couldn't say.

"Cut! You deceive the ghost, there is a unique way to make tea, I want two packs of your tea, one pack of Lanxin and one pack of me, if you can't brew this taste, I don't want any money for the wages and materials of your farmhouse decoration. Ma Jian sneered.

Liu Xing walked into the kitchen, saw if the boiled fish was ready, turned around and smiled: "Okay!" In a word, this is what you said, no one forced you. ”

"A word is a word, a word is a word." Ma Jian took a sip of tea with great enjoyment, and looked at Xie Lanxin eating melon with relish alone, and he also picked up and took a bite in confusion.

Then he screamed, and the frightened Liu Xing's spoon that tasted the taste of boiled fish almost fell to the ground, and he hurriedly ran out of the kitchen to ask what was going on, and when he saw that he was eating a melon, he rolled his eyes at Ma Jian: "You belong to a dog!" As for the name of a muskmelon, if you eat my boiled fish, then you will not collapse my courtyard. ”

"Cut!" Zhou Jian and Xie Lanxin cast a disdainful glance at Liu Xing who bragged and did not make a draft.

Liu Xing was amused in his heart, walked into the kitchen and skillfully put green onions, ginger and garlic in the fish pot, as well as Chaotian pepper and wild celery, and secretly let you be arrogant for a while, and when the boiled fish is out of the pot, he will take a picture of the gluttonous cat you eat fish, so that you can know what is the first boiled fish in Qingshi Village.

For a while.

The boiled fish in the kitchen was tumbling, and the unique fragrance of wild celery wafted out, Ma Jian and Xie Lan couldn't help sniffing their noses, saliva flowed out, and looked at the kitchen with hot eyes, could it be that Liu Xing's boiled fish was really like what he said

They rushed into the kitchen at the same time.

"Hey! What are you two doing, the soup of the boiled fish hasn't turned white yet? Liu Xing was squeezed into the corner, furious.

Ma Jian and Xie Lanxin could not control Liu Xing's anger, and they were not afraid of the boiling fish meat, one picked up a pair of chopsticks and picked up the crystal white and tender grass carp meat to taste the taste first, and then his eyes widened, and he suddenly stuffed it into his mouth, and Liu Xing, who was harmed, looked at the two of them like an orangutan, thinking that they hadn't eaten for a few days.

When the water boiling the fish turned white, there was only one empty shelf left of the three or four catties of grass carp in the pot, Liu Xing saw that one of them was holding a big rice bowl and was about to start with the soup, so he hurriedly grabbed the soup spoon: "I said that you two have not taken me as the master in your eyes, I have been busy for most of the day, so you have to leave me some soup!" ”

Ma Jian and Xie Lanxin only reacted at this time, and smiled wryly, Ma Jian touched his head awkwardly and said, "Old classmate, I take back what I said earlier, the taste of your boiled fish, I believe it will be popular all over the country in the near future." ”

Liu Xingcai didn't care about Ma Jian's sycophancy, took out a soup bowl as big as four ordinary rice bowls, filled a full bowl and put it in the refrigerator and said: "Don't call me stingy, my parents haven't eaten it yet, it's not too much to leave some soup." ”

Ma Jian looked at Liu Xing with an "ah", and was about to say how he became so stingy, but Liu Xing took out another medium-sized bowl and said with a wicked smile: "I forgot that you Ma Jian never drank fish soup, it's not good to waste it, I'll save a little and put it in the refrigerator, and keep it for tomorrow to eat delicious 'fish jelly'." ”

Ma Jian shouted, "Liu Xing, you don't come," and Xie Lanxin rushed towards the fish pot full of black ash

After the three people in the courtyard had eaten and drunk enough, Zhou Jian saw that it was already dark, and got up very satisfied and took his daughter-in-law Xie Lanxin to say goodbye.

Before leaving, Liu Xing gave him two packets of tea picked by his grandfather, reminded Zhou Jian with a smile not to forget about the bet, and told Ma Jian to bring more people to renovate the farmhouse within ten days.

Zhou Jian agreed.

However, he made a request that gave Liu Xing a headache, that is, he didn't want any labor money for doing things, and he just had boiled fish for three meals a day.

Liu Xing scolded "Roll the calf", and watched Ma Jian's Audi car slowly drive out of Qingshi Village with a smile, of course he could not agree to Zhou Jian's request, the so-called scarcity is expensive, let you eat boiled fish for free every day, then he should not open this farmhouse.
