Chapter 43 Betting (adding a chapter for Annie's father)
Xiao Hong excitedly opened the door and rushed in, and was immediately confused by the scene in the room.

"Brother Guizi, uh..., hehe, hello." Xiao Hong was still closing the door with one hand, twisting her body, her big eyes swaying from side to side, shooting at the faces of Xia Maosheng and Yang Tiebin who were standing at the kitchen door at this moment Then, he turned his body and glanced into the kitchen.

"Hello." Xia Maosheng turned his face to greet Xiaohong.

Yang Tiebin didn't say anything, and smiled at Xiaohong.

Xiaowei looked out from the kitchen and said, "School is over? This is my classmate in the chef class. Come to our house to drop by and teach me how to cook. Put down your schoolbag, wash your face, and get ready to eat."

Xiaohong nodded, looked at the faces of several people, hung her schoolbag on the wall, and went into the house.

Yang Tiebin whispered: "Zhang Wei, your daughter-in-law is really tall and pretty, how are you so lucky?"

Inside, Li Guangzhao took the vegetables out of the oil pan, poured the oil into the oil drain bucket, and said silently: "He is still cooking, washing clothes and tidying up the house. Didn't you realize that this old man can't do anything?"

Xia Maosheng let out a burst of joy, covered his mouth and whispered, "He's still a high-achieving student in the engineering college, Xiaowei, tell me, did you do something? Why did you get involved in all the good things?"

There was a scream in the room, and then it fell silent again. Xiaowei rushed out of the kitchen and ran into the house: "What's the matter?"

Xiaohong came out of the room with a blushing face, and said a little embarrassedly: "Nothing." Then she pointed to the room and asked, "Where did you get that tape recorder?"

Xiaowei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I bought it for you. Lao Xia and I went to Sanhao Street to buy it at noon today. I don't know where you want to put it, so I put it in my house first. What's wrong?"

Xiaohong was stunned for a moment, then she couldn't help laughing, and said, "I wasted money again, and didn't tell me a word." But she immediately went back on her feet and went straight to the tape recorder.

Xiaowei walked to the door and said, "It's time to eat. I'll make it after dinner. Anyway, it's yours. From now on, you can sleep with your arms around you every day. I also brought a few tapes. They said it was the original sound, and the blank tapes are also there. Well, I don’t ask for money, I’ll take it.”

Xiao Hong raised the microphone and turned to Xiao Wei, "Is there still this?"

Xiaowei nodded and said, "Well, it's the best on the market now. It's eight-channel, and it can record while singing and accompaniment, and it can also record with fidelity. Anyway, there are quite a lot of functions, and I didn't fully understand it."

Xiaohong touched the tape recorder and said, "It's so beautiful. How much is it?"

Xiaowei took a step back, licked his lips and said, "Nine...one hundred and eight."

Xiaohong's gaze flew over and pierced Xiaowei's face. Xiaowei smiled and said, "It's good."

Xiaohong pointed to Xiaowei, and whispered, "Wait, wait for them to leave in a while." Then she looked at the tape recorder, turned around and walked out, Xiaowei quickly stood against the wall, let Xiaohong Red past.When she passed by, Xiaohong turned her face away, kissed Xiaowei on the cheek, and said: "This is a reward, I will settle the score later, I will clearly reward and punish. Hmph." With her face up, she ran to the dining room up.

It was cumbersome and slow to prepare the dishes, but it was done quickly. In the time it took for the two of them to enter the room and say these few words, there were already three dishes on the table here. When the two came over, Xia Maosheng said: " Wash your hands and eat, is there any wine at home?"

Xiaowei looked around and said, "No, I don't drink at home. Do you want white or beer? I'll go down and buy it."

"Dangdangdang", the door was knocked, Xiaowei walked over and opened the door, Chen Hui walked in with a smile, shrugged his nose when he entered the room, and said, "What are you making? It smells good."

Xiaowei took a step back to let Chen Hui in, and while closing the door, he said, "It's just in time, what wine do you drink? I'll go down and buy it."

Chen Hui took out two bottles of wine from his trouser pockets, one in each of the left and right pockets, raised his hand and said, "I brought it, what else should I buy, two bottles are enough?"

Xiaowei took a bottle and looked at it. Laolongkou, Fengtian's local baijiu is quite famous in this era, and it is indeed delicious, not top-notch.Said: "Enough, two bottles of white is not enough." Turning to Xia Maosheng, said: "Chen Hui took Laolongkou, just drink this?"

Xia Maosheng nodded to Chen Hui and said hello, "Zhong, I drink the same thing, anyway, I don't drink much."

Put the wine on the table, Xiaohong went to get the bowl, Yang Tiebin came over with a plate of dishes, and Li Guangzhao was frying.

Chen Hui looked at the dishes, smelled them, walked to the door of the kitchen, looked in and said, "It's a chef after all, this thing is completely different from the one we make at home, it smells delicious. Xiaowei, can you come?"

Xiaowei blushed and said, "Now I only know how to eat, and I'm still learning."

Everyone laughed, and Xia Maosheng said: "Chef Zhang hasn't cut any dishes so far, and he looks like he's about to start a revolution with a knife."

Xiaowei scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "I haven't cut any meat, but I've still chopped vegetables. I've even chopped chicken and ribs."

Xiaohong nodded to prove it: "Yes, I chopped the ribs and chopped my cutting board in half. Since then, my dad has never dared to let him into the kitchen."

"Hahahahaha" Everyone laughed again, Xia Maosheng squatted down with a smile, struggling to say: "Oh, fuck it, I'm convinced, Xiaowei, you are definitely a talent."

Chen Hui looked at Xiaowei, stretched out his hand and patted Xiaowei on the shoulder, and said, "Oh, it seems that the road is still long, work hard, comrade, it seems that the first one you want to surpass is not Xiaohong, but me. .I can still handle frying two."

Xiaowei pointed at these people with his fingers, and said through gritted teeth: "Remember everything, just wait and see if I can do it in two months. I don't believe it."

Xiaohong greeted everyone to sit down and eat, and poured wine for everyone with a wine bottle, saying: "He still made a bet with me, saying that it will definitely be better than mine in two months, and I am waiting to eat."

Xia Maosheng tapped his fingers on the table. This is an old ritual, to thank others for pouring wine, and said: "Yes, I also bet. If you win, I will give you a set of knives, a complete set."

Yang Tiebin brought up the last dish, sat down and said, "I also bet, Lao Xia makes knives, and I will also bring a set of knives, carving knives, if you win, I will give it to you. Hey? Why do I have more wine than you?" Ah? Who poured it?"

Xiaohong poured wine into Li Guangzhao's bowl, and said, "I'll pour it, isn't it right? If you and Brother Li can drink, let's have more. If Xiaowei and Xia Maosheng can't drink, let's drink less. What's wrong?"

Yang Tiebin wiped his face with his hand and said, "It's okay, okay, let's drink more."

Li Guangzhao packed up the stove, wiped his hands, walked out of the kitchen, sat down at his seat and said, "What's wrong?"

Yang Tiebin shook his head and said: "It's okay, come on, let's start the whole process. Lao Li's craftsmanship looks good, let's try it." He raised his chopsticks.
