Chapter 45 What information?I do not see it!

Fang Jiahui came to join Yang Xingyu and others in the evening.

When she arrived, Yang Xingyu, Song Xiaoqiang, and Jiang Jie were cooking in the kitchen. Song Xiaoqiang was in charge of cooking, Yang Xingyu was in charge of preparing the dishes, and Jiang Jie, who was educated as an accountant, helped out by washing dishes and so on.

The kitchen was just renovated a few days ago, and they didn't have time to buy various electrical appliances. The only liquefied gas stove and some kitchen utensils and tableware they bought temporarily this afternoon.

In view of the current poor conditions in the kitchen, tonight's dinner will be relatively simple.

The main ingredient is an old duck.

After the old duck stews the soup, a few dried chili peppers are slightly added to serve as the hot pot soup base.

Because less dried chili peppers are added, this old duck soup can still be drunk, but if it is used to boil vegetables and eat it, it can also cater to both those who like spicy food and those who don't.

"This is my homemade old duck soup hot pot."

Song Xiaoqiang, who prepared such a hot pot soup base, gave this answer when Jiang Jie asked curiously.

But, unexpectedly - tonight's hot pot won unanimous praise from everyone.

"Well, this old duck soup hot pot is so fresh and delicious!"

Jiang Jie, who was the first to wonder whether the hot pot was delicious, was the first to praise it after tasting it.

As Yang Xingyu's eldest cousin, Fang Jiahui took a piece of old duck out of the soup pot, took a few bites, and said in agreement: "Well, this hot pot tastes really good!"

Yang Xingyu raised his hand and gave Song Xiaoqiang a thumbs up.

In fact, as early as when he saw Song Xiaoqiang simmering old duck soup and saying that he would use the old duck soup as the hot pot soup base, Yang Xingyu had expected that the hot pot tonight would be delicious.

This kind of hot pot is like using old duck soup to soak rice crust. How can the taste be any different?
Seeing this, some people may ask: Even if the crispy rice is soaked in the old duck soup, if the crispy rice is soaked too much, it will have no flavor, right?
At first glance, this seems to be the case.

This will indeed happen if tonight's hot pot side dishes are all vegetarian.

The vegetarian dish will absorb the umami flavor from the duck soup.

But tonight's hot pot side dishes are half meat and vegetable, including beef rolls, mutton rolls, beef balls, fish balls, lunch meat, quail eggs, sausages and other meat dishes.

Boiling these meat dishes in duck soup will only make the duck soup more delicious.

"But this hot pot is delicious, but the price is a bit high. The cost must not be low, right? Xiaoyu! We can't eat like this every day in the future!"

The eldest cousin Fang Jiahui gave Yang Xingyu advice while eating.

She was used to being thrifty and could not afford such a luxurious way of eating.

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Jie was the first to agree: "Yes! If we want to make money, we must save money on all aspects of expenses. We can't eat like this every day!"

After saying that, she took another piece of mutton roll from the pot and stuffed it into her mouth, eating it until her eyes widened with smiles.

Song Xiaoqiang raised his eyes and looked at Yang Xingyu, with a smile on his lips.

Because it was Yang Xingyu who made the decision to buy this old duck. He tried to persuade her a few times but failed to stop him.

Yang Xingyu noticed everyone's expressions, picked up a can of beer in his hand and signaled, "Come on! Let's have another one!"

When everyone took a sip and continued eating, Yang Xingyu explained: "You just came here today! According to the rules, I should prepare a good reception feast for you. I also decided to buy food to save money. If you make it yourself, a duck only costs a few dozen yuan, and including all the other dishes and wine, the total cost is less than 200 yuan, which is already much more cost-effective than eating out."

At this point, he laughed, "Originally, I planned to make old duck soup for everyone to drink, but Qiangzi suddenly said that we can make old duck soup hot pot, which is easy and delicious, so it turned out like this."

Fang Jiahui glanced at Song Xiaoqiang, who looked honest and courteous, smiled and nodded, "If you say that, then I have nothing to say."

Jiang Jie picked up the beer and gestured to Yang Xingyu, "Come on! I respect you, little universe! You arranged this feast very well! It not only saves you money, but also makes us eat happily and affordably! I have nothing to say."

...The four of them were eating and chatting happily.

In a commercial apartment near No. [-] Middle School, Zhen Xin, wearing a set of white silk pajamas and pajamas, was sitting in front of the piano, practicing piano music as usual.

As a music teacher, she plays several instruments.

Piano is what she is best at.

Her slender jade fingers flew over the keys, and the notes flowed out like water, which was very nice.

However, as she played, she frowned.

Suddenly, she opened her hands, pressed the keys in front of her, and stopped playing.

An unconscious sigh sounded, and her eyes subconsciously looked at the mobile phone placed on the music stand.

After hesitating for a moment, she reached for her phone and clicked on the screen. She didn't see any unread messages.

As a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder, after she sent such a message to Yang Xingyu last night, she never received a reply from him. Not only did she not sleep well last night, but it also caused her to be a little absent-minded throughout the day today.

I always couldn't help but take out my phone to see if he had replied?
"what are you doing?"

After hesitating for a while, she finally couldn't hold it back and took the initiative to send this message to Yang Xingyu again.

……

Yang Xingyu, who was eating hot pot with everyone in the yard, heard the cell phone ring in his trouser pocket and took it out to take a look.

Seeing this message from Zhen Xin, a smile appeared on his lips. His right hand continued to pick up the food and put it in his mouth. His left hand skillfully replied to her: "Three of the helpers I invited came today and are accompanying them." Eating hot pot! What about you? What are you doing?"

As long as she didn't mention letting each other return to the position of good friends, he was still willing to chat with her.

The reason why he didn't reply to her message last night was because her proposal made him unhappy.

He finally found a chance to kiss her once, and later she became more proactive. It could be said that their relationship finally took a big step forward.

The results of it?
She sent a message later to say something, so that they could return to being good friends.

If he could agree to her request, wouldn't all his efforts last night be in vain?
What's more, she kissed him for such a long time and yet she sent such a message. It was very suspicious that she looked down on him and felt that he was not worthy of her at present.

Although he knew this was true, he still felt unhappy.

"Why didn't you reply to my message last night?"

Zhen Xin sent another message like this.

Yang Xingyu replied: "Did you send me a message last night? I didn't see it."

After a while this time, Zhen Xin sent another message: "How could you not see it? Then I say it again, let's return to the position of good friends, otherwise, we will never see each other again. Do you agree?"

After Yang Xingyu read this message, he curled his lips, put the phone back into his trouser pocket, picked up the beer and once again urged everyone to drink together.

Yes!

He still wasn't going to reply to her question.

If she asked him to talk about anything else, he would ignore her, but he didn't want to reply a word about the topic of letting each other return to being good friends.

This is like a soldier who has finally occupied a position, but the enemy tells you that everyone should return to their original positions and return the position you occupied, or we will break off diplomatic relations.

Let me ask: Who can agree to such a thing?

　Ask for monthly tickets and recommended tickets
