Chapter Seventy-One: The So-Called 'Home Cooking'

With Liu Chenglin's family and a few classmates from Xiaomei, Xu Haibao's brother and sister acted as temporary tour guides and led everyone around the village. Because it was close to evening, I didn't go to see it from afar.

Perhaps in the eyes of many villagers, Fulin Island is not big. However, if you actually walk, it will take at least a day to enjoy the scenery of Fulin Island. When they returned to the village, everyone seemed a little unsatisfied.

Fortunately, whether it was Liu Chenglin's family or those girls, they decided to play for at least two or three days before going to the island. As long as the Lantern Festival rushes back to Baohai, it doesn't matter if you stay for an extra day or two. Since it's a trip, you have to have fun!

When he returned to the village, Xu Haibao asked Xiaomei to lead everyone to the top of the mountain behind the village to climb high and look into the distance. The sea at dusk, standing on the top of the mountain and watching, also has a unique view, while Xu Haibao prepares dinner.

Considering that those girls have a good relationship with Xu Qingya, when Xu Haibao was preparing dinner, he naturally had to prepare some seafood stocked in the nameless pearl. Among them, wild groupers kept in fish boxes in their backyards are still indispensable.

picked one and threw it into the nameless bead, and Xu Haibao grabbed another one from the nameless bead. In this way, in the eyes of Xu Qingya and others, the fish in the fish box have decreased, and they will not suspect that Xu Haibao has temporarily transferred the contract.

The big wild grouper weighing seven or eight pounds is undoubtedly the main dish tonight. As for other side dishes, Xu Haibao also prepared some. Freshly purchased shrimp and shellfish from the villagers also make a hodgepodge of seafood.

The squid is still alive and stir-fried with side dishes and seasonings bought from the town. In addition, the shell vegetables brought from the third uncle's house are also called mussels, and tonight's reception banquet is still mainly seafood, supplemented by other sparse dishes.

When the sun finally disappeared from the horizon and the street lamps in the village were lit, Xu Qingya led everyone back to their yard. As soon as they entered, everyone smelled the fragrance wafting from the kitchen.

Although lunch was a little late, Chen Xingcheng could smell the fragrance of the kitchen, and said curiously: "Xiaoya, how is your brother's cooking skills? ”

"You don't know much! My brother is a good family man in decathlon, you won't understand!"

After smiling and praising her brother, Xu Qingya quickly went into the kitchen and looked at the dishes that had been fried and placed next to the stove to keep warm. The girls who followed him into the kitchen also felt that Xu Haibao really knew how to stir-fry.

On the other hand, Xu Haibao saw Xu Qingya and the girls coming in, and said with a smile: "It's just right to come back, the dishes are almost fried, and you can prepare for dinner." Xiaoya, prepare the dishes and chopsticks, and let everyone drink chicken soup first!"

As soon as they heard this, the girls who followed the kitchen were also surprised: "Brother Haibao, you also stewed chicken soup?"

"Yes, the village's own local chicken, plus a little supermarket-bought shiitake mushrooms, wait for everyone to drink some. It's all home-cooked food, and there's nothing particularly good to entertain, so everyone will eat it!"

"It's already very rich! I'm worried that if I continue to eat like this, I will definitely lose weight again when I go back to school!"

Listening to what Liu Xiaohan said, Xu Haibao glanced at the other party's slender figure and said, "With your figure, it's nothing to have two catties of extra meat." There's no need to grieve yourself for the sake of thinness, you can eat as much as you want, how good!"

"That's what I said! But if you really want to get fat, you always feel uncomfortable! Brother Haibao, do you think I'm good-looking now, or is it better to be two pounds fat?"

Regarding the ridicule in Liu Xiaohan's words, Xu Haibao smiled and said: "With your current figure, it is estimated that there is no difference if you are really fat by two pounds." Unless these two catties of meat are all on the face!"

"How ugly that is!"

Xu Qingya, who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, looked at Liu Xiaohan, who was chatting and laughing with her brother, and somewhat guessed Liu Xiaohan's mind. It's just that she knows Xu Haibao's character very well, and she is afraid that it will be difficult for him to take the initiative.

And other girls know that Liu Xiaohan has been interested in Xu Haibao since junior high school. Although I haven't seen him for five years, after a few contacts, Liu Xiaohan still seems to appreciate Xu Haibao's character.

It's just that Liu Xiaohan was a little surprised that Xu Haibao seemed to be no different from other girls. Many times, if she doesn't take the initiative to find a topic to chat with, Xu Haibao rarely takes the initiative to chat with her.

Judging from this situation, Xu Haibao doesn't seem to have any special meaning for her. This made Liu Xiaohan, who was very confident in his own charm, somewhat frustrated. After all, the university she attended, there were still a lot of suitors!

As Xu Qingya set up the dishes and chopsticks, Xu Haibao also shouted at the right time: "Fatty, don't be stunned, hurry up and come in and serve the soup! Are you embarrassed to let the girl do such a dangerous thing?

"Brother Bao, you can't favor one over the other, could it be that you didn't treat me as a guest?"

"Of course, I called you here to make you a coolie, and by the way, I want to lose weight for you. If you continue to gain weight, I have to worry about whether you will destroy your restaurant in the future!"

Although everyone is in contact for the first time today, many girls know that Chen Xingcheng is the young shopkeeper of Donghua Restaurant in the city. For them, this can be regarded as a rich second generation with a bit of fame.

But Chen Xingcheng doesn't have the frame of a rich second generation, and when facing Xu Haibao's brothers and sisters, he is often the target of bullying. In front of these girls, they also seemed very polite and even a little shy.

For these girls, most of whom are sophomores, if they don't want to find a boyfriend from another place, a boy like Chen Xingcheng may be a good choice. It's just that falling in love sometimes depends on feelings and fate!

As Chen Xingcheng brought the cooked chicken soup to the table, Xu Qingya, as the host, also began to make soup for everyone. As for Chen Xingcheng and Liu Chenglin, they will inevitably drink two glasses, anyway, there is also good liquor at home.

Drinking the chicken soup cooked by Xu Haibao, Chen Xingcheng, who is the shopkeeper of the restaurant, tasted it and said: "This chicken soup tastes very positive and fresh, it seems that Brother Bao really has good cooking skills." Girls, such a good man, don't let it go!"

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, Xu Haibao, who happened to be walking out of the kitchen with the dishes, heard it, and immediately sneered: "Fatty, you still care about yourself!

Originally, I wanted to ridicule Xu Haibao, but I didn't want to be arrested. Facing the glint in Xu Haibao's eyes, Chen Xingcheng decisively admitted that he lowered his head and drank the soup, and did not pay attention to Xu Haibao who teased him at all.

At this time, Xu Qingya urged: "Brother, isn't the steamed fish all right? You see, Meng Meng is in a hurry." ”

"Beautiful sister, Meng Meng is not in a hurry! This soup is delicious, Meng Meng is drinking soup!"

Xu Qingya, who asked Liu Yuemeng to directly expose the truth, also said in shame: "You little traitor, wait for the best fish, my sister won't clip it for you to eat." Drink less soup and eat more fish later, that's the best thing to eat!"

"Really, but this soup is really delicious!"

Liu Yuemeng, who seemed to be very entangled by Xu Qingya's words, soon heard Xu Haibao say: "Mengmeng, it's okay, drink more soup." If you wait for the fish, Uncle will give it to you to eat, and make sure you have enough to eat, okay?"

"Okay, thank you, uncle!"

Regarding Liu Yuemeng's situation of calling Xu Qingya's sister, but calling Xu Haibao her uncle, making Xu Qingya a generation shorter out of thin air, the girls also thought it was very funny. In fact, Liu Yuemeng calls them all sisters.

On the other hand, Chen Xingcheng also became a fat uncle with honor. Originally, Liu Chenglin wanted to correct it, but Xu Haibao and Chen Xingcheng didn't mind. For them, whether they are called brother or uncle, it is not a big problem.

From Xu Qingya's unforgettable attitude, Chen Xingcheng also saw a clue and said: "Xiaoya, the fish your brother makes is delicious?"

"Of course, I'm sure you'll want to swallow your tongue when you wait for that fish. Speaking of which, my brother and I managed to catch most of the fish ended up being delivered to your store. Those fish are really delicious!"

"You mean big grouper, do you still have it at home?"

"Of course, I can't give you all the good things! There are only a few fish left, but what about my rations!"

In the expectant eyes of everyone, Xu Haibao finally brought out tonight's main dish, a steamed large grouper placed on a large fish plate. In addition to the heat emitted by the large grouper that has just come out of the pot, the wafting fragrance is also coveted by everyone.

Just when Chen Xingcheng was curious, this wild big grouper didn't seem to be anything different to him. Xu Qingya, who picked a piece of fish and put it in Liu Yuemeng's bowl, said mysteriously: "Mengmeng, try this fish and see if it's delicious!"

"Okay, thank you, Sister Ya!"

When the little girl tasted the thornless fish, her whole little face looked very excited and said, "Wow, this meat is really delicious!" Mom, you can also taste it, the meat of this big fish is really delicious!"

The result is obvious, as everyone began to eat fish with chopsticks, the wonderful taste of the mouth instantly conquered everyone's taste buds. Even after Chen Xingcheng tasted it, he was shocked by the deliciousness of this grouper.

In his opinion, the fish was still the same fish, but the taste was something he had never tasted. After being puzzled, Chen Xingcheng felt that after eating, he really wanted to ask Xu Haibao how to make such a delicious grouper!
