Chapter 190: Picnic
"Brother Ling, was Sister Xiaoyu like this before? The attitude is so fierce. ”
When Ye Xiaoyu said this, Jia Xiuyu shrank back in some fear, revealing a wet look at Ling Yu, I really felt pity.
Sister, your sister!!
If it weren't for Ling Yu's face, Ye Xiaoyu really wanted to go up and slap Jia Xiuyu twice regardless of the consequences, it was really annoying.
But it turns out that Ling Yu eats her set.
Although Ye Xiaoyu has always been a stubborn person who does not admit defeat in his heart, today's style is really out of grace, is it because he has been in the countryside for a long time?
Therefore, seeing that Ye Xiaoyu was driving them away fiercely again, Ling Yu stopped staying, stood up and said a few words, and planned to go back with the Jia sisters. I have thought about the scene of meeting Ye Xiaoyu again in my heart many times, although I don't ask her to be full of gratitude for what she has done, but at least it is not what it is today.
Today's Ye Xiaoyu really disappointed Ling Yu. Perhaps, Ye Xiaoyu has not changed, she is like this. It's just that her own memories beautify her.
"By the way, Brother Ling, I almost forgot, that ...... Clothes, Sister Xiaoyu hasn't solved it for me yet......"
Walking to the door, Jia Xiuyu seemed to suddenly remember something, turned her head to Ling Yu and said, her expression still a little scared.
Ye Xiaoyu had already looked at Jia Xiuyu's back and greeted her whole family several times, so no matter what Jia Xiuyu wanted to do now, she was a little numb.
So at the end of this "party", for the sake of Ling Yu's face. Ye Xiaoyu lost a brand new dress of the same style to Jia Xiuyu.
"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan", I now have a shop in Yuejing, and I still have to be more leisurely for the woman in yellow, and I can't fight her too strongly, otherwise if she finds another batch of gangsters, sunny and not there, relying on Liu Yu alone, she will definitely not be able to resist. The most critical point is that now Ling Yu is on her side.
Think of it this way. It's just a piece of clothing anyway. Ye Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and endured it first.
Lu Qian was silent the whole time, as if it were a stone statue that didn't move at all. When Ye Xiaoyu sent Ling Yu and the Jia family sisters in, she was still sitting there motionless.
Liu Yu stood next to him and rubbed his hands. Some are overwhelmed.
I saw Ye Xiaoyu come in. It's like seeing a savior. Quickly ask her what the hell is going on.
Ye Xiaoyu knew what was going on, but she didn't want to tell Liu Yu truthfully.
To Lu Qian, Ling Yu was like a scar that had already scabbed. Now when I mention this matter again, it is like peeling off the scab that has formed a knot, although Ye Xiaoyu is cold by nature, but for her friends, she can't do such a cruel thing.
"The weather seems to have been good lately, how about we go back to Quanxiu Village tomorrow to find something for a picnic?"
Facing the curious Liu Yu, Ye Xiaoyu did not directly answer him what was going on with Lu Qian, but happily mentioned tomorrow's itinerary, as if today was just an ordinary day.
Ye Xiaoyu has always been a man of action, whether it is for things or people.
So as long as she proposes to do something, she will definitely do it.
It's like they only asked for a picnic yesterday, and today they have already started to build a small stove with stones by the small river in Quanxiu Village.
Although she has always been trapped in the eyes of money and can't extricate herself, Ye Xiaoyu also knows the necessity of releasing her feelings.
The shop is important, but the lives of yourself and the people around you are even more important. Moreover, Jia Xiuyu only came yesterday, and with Ling Yu by her side, even if it was just to cover Ling Yu's eyes, she didn't dare to be so unscrupulous. That's why Ye Xiaoyu proposed to come back for a picnic and explain the shop to his buddy Xiaoou.
said that it was a picnic, but Ye Xiaoyu didn't want to cook by the river, what she really wanted was barbecue.
How long has it been since she's eaten barbecue? Three years, four years? This answer, even Ye Xiaoyu himself can't answer, it's too long. Thinking about it seriously, the last time she ate kebabs at a roadside stall was the night when she had just graduated from graduate school in her previous life. At that time, Ye Xiaoyu, who had just come out of the ivory tower, was still full of dreams, thinking that his world would be different from now on. Looking back now, her world has indeed become different, but the time and space left in her previous life are different, all full of tears and misfortune.
"Leeches, leeches, leeches, ......"
Ye Xiaoyu followed the sound and looked, only to see Liu Yu walking towards this side with a large bundle of firewood in both hands, and behind him, followed by a large group of four or five-year-old bear children, shouting "leeches" to him one by one, the voice was like shouting a password, full of rhythm.
"Hahaha, laughing to death, Liu Fatzi, it seems that not only me, everyone remembers your glorious deeds......"
Seeing Liu Yu coming helplessly, Lu Qian couldn't help but point at him and laugh, that day Liu Yu slipped into the river, and her body was covered with leeches, she remembered it clearly.
"Hurry home, or I'll sue your father and mother......"
Although Liu Yu had a cheerful attitude, it was not something to be proud of being ridiculed by a group of children in front of Lu Qian, so he put on a fierce expression and reached out to hit the bear children who kept shouting "leeches" around him.
The group of children was frightened by Liu Yu and immediately dispersed in all directions, but it didn't take long for them to gather again and still shout around him.
Ye Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing out loud while putting the iron plate prepared in advance on the stove made of stones, and watching Liu Yu being annoyed by the children.
It is not yet a harsh winter, the temperature has not dropped to a minimum, the frost has not come, and the sun is just right, which is the right time for outdoor barbecue. Moreover, Ye Xiaoyu and the others picked a place in the upper reaches of the river, and the river water was still very clean without the pollution of slurry.
However, the reason why the barbecue was able to be done so quickly was thanks to Lu Qian's coquettishness in front of Jiang Ping, otherwise for Ye Xiaoyu, even if it could be done, it would be a few days later.
But whether it is a trip or a trip, what is important is the timing and interest, that is, "do what you want", otherwise you will delay a little, and you will not want to go again if you lose the mood at that time.
Barbecue is not as simple as eating hot pot, ingredients and the like, and this season is the time when there are the most things in Lujiazhuang. So Ye Xiaoyu not only took sweet potatoes, taro, cabbage and leeks, but also went to the kitchen to use a knife to slice the pork belly and mutton into thin slices, and brought chili noodles and seasonings such as tempeh, salt, and lard. Looking at the large bag of ingredients, Ye Xiaoyu was sure that she could let a few of them eat.
Because Qinglang was going to Yuejing to deliver goods, Ye Xiaoyu, Lu Qian, and Liu Yu went to the river to prepare first. Otherwise, when Qing Lang came back from Yuejing, a few of them would faint from hunger.
Preparing barbecue ingredients, building a simple stove, finding firewood, and picking a place are not problems, and when these things are all ready, Ye Xiaoyu found out what their problem is-the three of them are not very good at making a fire.
In order to make the firewood burn faster, Ye Xiaoyu deliberately took some dead grass and stuffed it inside, but although these weeds burned a little, they were extinguished as soon as they were burned, and there was no effect of igniting the branches at all. After tossing like this for a long time, Ye Xiaoyu was sweating profusely and her face was covered with black smoke, but those branches were still lying there well, and there was no sign of fire at all.
Ye Xiaoyu won't, and Liu Yu and Lu Qian, two people who have always dressed and eaten, won't be able to. There's no alcohol or anything like that, otherwise it's on top of the firewood, and it's going to burn at one point.
But it won't return, you can't just stare and stand there, right? So Ye Xiaoyu and Liu Yu tried and tried, and finally lit the firewood after noon.
So when Qinglang came back from Yuejing to find them, Ye Xiaoyu was still struggling to roast the pork belly and cabbage on the iron plate, Liu Yu squatted on the ground and added firewood to it while covering the sweet potatoes in the charcoal ash and roasting, while Lu Qian sat on a big stone and counted the leaves in a daze.
- Because it took so much time to make the fire, all three of them were past the point of hunger.
Although they were dismayed by the matter of making a fire, when the fragrance came from the iron plate, everyone's hunger was like a returning beast, quickly occupying everyone's thoughts and eyes, and everyone stared directly at the food on the iron plate.
Once the fire was lit, things went much smoother, and in a few moments, sweet potatoes and pork belly, cabbage, and the like were all roasted. Because Qing Lang took the initiative to take over the baking work, Ye Xiaoyu, who was free, had time to sit aside and enjoy the fruits of his labor.
I don't know if it's because I'm too hungry, Ye Xiaoyu thinks that today's barbecue is particularly delicious, even better than what she ate in her previous life, even if the seasoning here is only salt, chili noodles and tempeh oil. I looked up at Liu Yu and Lu Qian between eating, the two of them were also getting carried away from eating, so it didn't seem to be Ye Xiaoyu's illusion, today's things were really delicious, or, they were too hungry to eat today.
"You can take a little rest, you see everyone is full, this pork belly tastes good, you can also taste ......"
While eating, Ye Xiaoyu found that Qing Lang had been silently roasting there since he took over the work in his hand just now, so he suddenly felt that he couldn't get away, and took a piece of roasted pork belly in a bowl and stretched it out in front of Qing Lang.
"Put it here, you take the chopsticks yourself."
Halfway through her hand, Ye Xiaoyu suddenly found that she was using her own chopsticks to give Qinglang, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, so she put the piece of meat on the iron plate of the roast, and explained to him that he used the chopsticks himself.
Qinglang was unexpectedly obedient, turned around and took a pair of chopsticks, obediently picked up the pork belly that Ye Xiaoyu put on the iron plate and ate it.
This behavior made Ye Xiaoyu feel a little proud inexplicably. (To be continued......)
