Windy: The leisurely life of the village owner

Chapter 168 A real dinner party

Returning to the topic, after Xie Linfeng walked into the courtyard gate, he actually heard Xie Zhiyao say to Xie Xiaochun:

"Xiao Feng should be back soon. Every time he goes fishing, he always comes back on time."

"But if you're impatient, why don't I give him a call?"

With that said, Xie Zhiyao took out his mobile phone, as if preparing to call Xie Linfeng.

At this time, Xu Hongdou, who was listening to the two people talking, suddenly glanced towards the courtyard door unintentionally.

His eyes happened to catch Xie Linfeng who had just entered the courtyard.

After seeing Xie Linfeng, Xu Hongdou couldn't help but smile:
"Ayao, there's no need to call. Here! Linfeng is back."

As he said that, Xu Hongdou raised his head towards Xie Linfeng.

Hearing this, Xie Zhiyao followed Xu Hongdou's eyes and saw Xie Linfeng who had just walked into the courtyard.

"Xiao Feng, I was just about to make a video call with you. You came back on time!"

Hearing this, Xie Linfeng chuckled and said, "Why are you videotaping me? Are you afraid that I can't find my way back?"

After saying that, Xie Linfeng looked at Xie Xiaochun aside and said with a smile:

"Xiaochun is back too. Is Xiao Gourd back with you too?"

Hearing this, Xie Xiaochun chuckled and said, "Brother Xiaofeng! Well, Xiao Gourd is at home, and my grandma is taking care of it now!"

"Brother Xiaofeng, you went fishing. How was your catch?"

As he said that, Xie Xiaochun looked at the fish guard in Xie Linfeng's hand.

"Wow, such a big black fish! Brother Xiaofeng, did you catch this?"

Hearing Xie Xiaochun's exclamation, Xie Zhiyao and Xu Hongdou also looked at the fish guard in Xie Linfeng's hand.

They were so busy saying hello that they didn't notice the fish guard in Xie Linfeng's hand.

Now, seeing the half-meter-long black fish in the fish guard, he looked at Xie Linfeng in surprise.

When Xie Linfeng heard Xie Xiaochun's exclamation, he couldn't help but smile:

"Well, I caught this in the lake this afternoon. It's not too big, just seven or eight pounds!"

“There were still a few of them originally, but they were bought by a fishing friend.”

"I didn't bring back any other small fish or anything else, I just put them back into the lake."

"Xiaochun, let's stay at home and have dinner together tonight."

"Just in time, we went to the mountains to collect a lot of mushrooms in the morning."

"Plus this big black fish, I'll cook you something delicious tonight, and treat it as a welcome home!"

After hearing Xie Linfeng's words, Xie Xiaochun didn't have time to reply.

Xie Zhiyao on the side already smiled and said:

"What a coincidence, Xiaochun and I were planning to have dinner at your place in the evening."

"No, I just wanted to make a video call to you because I wanted you to come back and cook dinner."

"So, you don't need to tell us, we won't leave today!"

Xie Xiaochun on the side heard Xie Zhiyao's words and chuckled:

"Yes, Brother Xiaofeng, I came here specifically to have a meal today."

"We happened to bump into Big Brother and Nan Xing when they were carrying the fungus home this morning."

"So, I know you harvested a lot of fungi today."

"Therefore, I asked my eldest brother to bring me here in the afternoon just to have a meal."

"Brother Xiaofeng, are you unwilling to stay with me for dinner?"

When Xie Linfeng heard this, he smiled speechlessly and said:
"How could it be? We haven't seen each other for many years!"

"You don't know my character. Am I such a stingy person?"

Xie Xiaochun is only one or two years younger than Xie Linfeng, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they grew up together.

Xie Linfeng grew up in a wealthy family and had no shortage of snacks and snacks.

And Xie Xiaochun is the only girl among their group of children.

Therefore, Xie Xiaochun can be said to be very loved.

Xie Xiaochun ate a lot of Xie Linfeng's snacks when he was a child.

Therefore, in Xie Xiaochun's eyes, Xie Linfeng is really not that stingy person.

Therefore, after hearing Xie Linfeng's words, Xie Xiaochun couldn't help but nodded and said:

"Of course I know you are generous, Brother Xiaofeng. You were just joking!"

Hearing this, Xie Linfeng smiled and nodded: "It's okay, I was just joking!"

With that said, Xie Linfeng handed the fish guard in his hand to Xie Zhiyao and said:

"Ayao, you take the fish and clean it up, and I'll put the fishing gear away!"

After Xie Zhiyao took over the fish guard, Xie Linfeng said to Xu Hongdou:
"Hongdou, please help pick out some gallinobacteria and matsutake mushrooms. I'll use them later."

Hearing this, Xu Hongdou also smiled and nodded, saying:
"Okay, just the cockroaches and matsutake mushrooms, right?"

When Xie Linfeng heard this, he pondered for a moment and said:
"Well, let's get some dried fungi, the ones we dried last time."

"I'm going to make braised fish fillets later, so I can add some dried mushrooms in them. It will taste even better!"

Hearing what Xie Linfeng said, Xu Hongdou couldn't help but nodded and asked:
"Is it the package of dried mushrooms placed in the living room upstairs?"

"Yes!" Xie Linfeng nodded after hearing this.

Xie Linfeng put the dried fungi that were dried last time in bags and put them in the hall upstairs.

The main reason why I put it upstairs is because I am afraid of getting wet.

The weather in Nanyun is a bit humid, especially on the first floor.

Therefore, Xie Linfeng dried the dried bacteria and stored them in a ventilated area upstairs.

The lobby on the second floor is well ventilated, so the dried mushrooms are just right there.

When Xie Xiaochun heard this, he quickly said:

"It's in the lobby on the second floor, right? I'll go get it. I happen to be able to help too!"

Hearing this, Xie Linfeng and Xu Hongdou couldn't help but look at each other.

Immediately, the two looked at each other and smiled, and Xu Hongdou even chuckled:

"Okay, Xiaochun, go get it."

"The bag containing the dried mushrooms is on the cabinet in the hall on the second floor, near the stairs!"

"You just go upstairs and you can see it when you look up!"

Hearing this, Xie Xiaochun nodded quickly and said with a smile:

"Okay, I understand, wait!"

With that said, Xie Xiaochun turned around vigorously and trotted towards the main building.

After Xie Xiaochun left, Xie Zhiyao also walked towards the kitchen with Chen Nanxing.

After seeing everyone starting to be busy, Xu Hongdou smiled lightly at Xie Linfeng.

Then, he turned around and started picking out fungi under the eaves.

The fungi that were dried today have been placed under the eaves.

They also put a film on the big dustpan containing the fungi to prevent dust.

Xie Linfeng, on the other hand, carried the fishing gear and went directly to the utility room opposite the kitchen.

Put the fishing gear in the utility room, a corner specially placed for fishing gear.

Then, he walked out of the utility room again and went directly to the kitchen.

At this time, Xie Zhiyao in the kitchen had finished slaughtering the black fish.

He and Chen Nanxing were cleaning the black fish in the pool.

Seeing this, Xie Linfeng chuckled and said:
"Ayao, when you've finished washing the fish, leave it to me. I'll be responsible for slicing it!"

Hearing this, Xie Zhiyao nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll wash it right away. By the way, do you want the internal organs of this black fish?"

"Black fish internal organs?" Xie Linfeng heard this, took a look at it, and said:
"Well, keep the fish bubbles, and don't need the others."

"Snakehead fish is a carnivorous fish, and the internal organs smell a bit fishy and not delicious!" "Okay!"

Hearing this, Xie Zhiyao nodded, then removed the fish's internal organs and threw them all into the trash can.

Then, he lifted the cleaned black fish onto the cutting board.

Upon seeing this, Xie Linfeng picked up a thin kitchen knife and began to prepare slices of snakeheaded fish.

Seeing Xie Zhiyao and Chen Nanxing watching from the sidelines, Xie Linfeng couldn't help but smile:

"Nan Xing, go take out the ribs from the refrigerator and defrost them."

"Wait a minute, I'll make mushroom-braised pork ribs!"

"And Ayao, just be a little tired and go to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables and come back!"

Hearing Xie Linfeng's unceremonious arrangement, Xie Zhiyao and Chen Nanxing both nodded and agreed.

Afterwards, Chen Nanxing went to the ribs in the refrigerator, while Xie Zhiyao went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables.

After the two left, Xie Linfeng began to "operate" on Heiyu.

Pieces of fish fillets as thin as cicada wings were sliced ​​off by Xie Linfeng.

Soon, a large plate of fish fillets and a large bowl of fish bones were separated by Xie Linfeng.

At this time, Xu Hongdou had already finished selecting the gallinobacteria and matsutake mushrooms and brought them in.

Moreover, she had already begun to run to the sink and started cleaning herself.

Everyone divided the work and cooperated, and the preliminary preparations were completed in a short time.

All the ingredients have been prepared and placed on the chopping board next to the stove.

Looking at the chopping board full of ingredients, everyone felt a sense of pride.

At this time, Xie Linfeng looked at the time and found that it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon.

So, Xie Linfeng turned to Xie Zhiyao beside him and said:

"Ayao, go see if Master Ma and Teacher Hu are up!"

"If they haven't gotten up yet, go ahead and wake them up. Dinner will be ready soon!"

While talking, the prepared base ingredients were already boiling in the pot on the stove.

So, Xie Linfeng picked up the fish bones and put them into the pot to stew.

In another large pot on the stove, the ribs have already been placed in the pot and are being simmered over medium heat.

Xie Zhiyao on the side heard this and chuckled:

"Master Ma and Teacher Hu? Are they sleeping in the room?"

"I thought they were not in the courtyard and had gone to the town to enjoy themselves!"

At this moment, Xu Hongdou on the side smiled and said:
"Master Ma and Teacher Hu were tired from hiking in the morning, so they have slept all afternoon."

"That's it!" Hearing this, Xie Zhiyao said with some surprise:
"Okay, I'll wake them up and finish their meal!"

After saying that, Xie Zhiyao turned around and walked out of the kitchen.

This time, Chen Nanxing did not follow.

After all, it was not convenient for Xie Zhiyao to wake up Ma Ye and Teacher Hu.

Soon, just as the ribs and black fish fillets were coming out of the pan.

Xie Zhiyao finally took Ma Ye and Hu Youyu back to the kitchen.

At this time, Ma Ye and Hu Youyu seemed to be still a little awake.

No, when the two of them were walking, they were both yawning and squinting their eyes.

Fortunately for Mr. Ma, because his hair is very long, it doesn’t look too messy.

But Hu Youyu is different. At this time, his hairstyle is like a chicken coop.

After the two entered the kitchen, they seemed to smell the aroma of the food and finally became energetic.

And with this spirit, the two discovered a stranger in the kitchen.

Seeing Master Ma and Hu Youyu looking at Xie Xiaochun.

Xie Zhiyao on the side quickly introduced both parties.

Mr. Ma was very polite and shook hands with Xie Xiaochun seriously.

"Xiaochun, right? My name is Ma Qiushan. You can do like them and call me Master Ma!"

"Master Ma?" Xie Xiaochun heard this and said to Master Ma with a slight smile.

Hearing this, Mr. Ma nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I have an old face, and everyone I know calls me that!"

Xie Xiaochun understood immediately after hearing the words, nodded politely and said:

"Okay, Master Ma, right? Then I'll call you that too!"

Then, Hu Youyu appeared. At this time, he still seemed to be unable to recover.

It was only after Xie Xiaochun took the initiative to shake hands with Hu Youyu that Hu Youyu came back to his senses.

He quickly introduced himself:
"Hello, beauty, my name is Hu Youyu, you can call me Lao Hu!"

Seeing Hu Youyu's silly look, Xie Xiaochun couldn't help but chuckled:
"Okay, I see you are about the same age as me, so let's call you Lao Hu!"

"Hello, Lao Hu, my name is Xie Xiaochun, just call me Xiaochun!"

"By the way, don't call me Lao Chun!"

Perhaps it was because Hu Youyu was called Lao Hu, which had the word "老" in it, so Xie Xiaochun specially reminded him.

As soon as Xie Xiaochun said these words, everyone on the side laughed.

Even Hu Youyu himself couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

After some introductions, everyone began to become familiar with him.

At this time, Xie Linfeng had already prepared the last vegetables.

Then, with the help of Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing, the dishes were served on the table.

There are not many dishes tonight, only four dishes and one soup.

However, the portions of each dish are quite large, especially the braised fish fillet, pork ribs and mushroom meat soup.

Among them, the braised fish fillet is the largest and is served in a large basin.

This large basin alone occupies more than half of the entire round table.

After inviting everyone to come to the table, Mr. Ma was a little surprised when he saw the big basin placed in the center of the table:

"What's in the middle? Such a big pot? Braised fish fillets?"

After looking at it carefully, Mr. Ma asked with some surprise.

Xie Zhiyao on the side heard this, nodded quickly and smiled:

"Yes, Xiaofeng specially prepared Youfeng Xiaoyuan's signature dish, braised black fish fillets!"

"Here is a seven to eight kilogram snakeheaded fish. I will let you eat as much as you want today!"

"Seven or eight pounds of black fish?" Hearing this, Mr. Ma suddenly became interested and said with a smile:

"Snakehead fish like this are not common. Did you buy them or catch them?"

Hearing this, Xie Linfeng chuckled and said, "I went fishing in the lake this afternoon."

"You can have a taste. The snakehead fish in the lake is no different from the wild ones."

Hearing this, Mr. Ma chuckled and said, "Then I have to give it a try!"

At this time, Hu Youyu on the side asked Xie Linfeng with some doubts:

"You went fishing in the afternoon? Aren't you tired from hiking in the morning? Didn't you take a nap or something?"

Hearing Hu Youyu's question, Xu Hongdou on the side smiled and said before Xie Linfeng could answer:

"Do you think everyone is in the same physical condition as you?"

"You said you are young, but your physique is not as good as Master Ma's?"

At this time, Xie Linfeng heard this and added fuel to the fire, saying:

"I just climbed a mountain in the morning, what's so tiring about it?"

"You see, Ayao doesn't have any rest in the afternoon either?"
