Chapter 71 The so-called 'home cooking'

With Liu Chenglin's family and a few classmates of the younger sister, Xu Haibao and his brother acted as temporary tour guides, leading everyone around the village.Because it was close to the evening, I didn't look farther away.

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

Fortunately, both Liu Chenglin's family and those girls decided to play for at least two or three days before going to the island.As long as you rush back to Baohai for the Lantern Festival, it doesn't matter if you stay an extra day or two.Since you are traveling, you must have fun!

When he returned to the village, Xu Haibao asked his younger sister to lead the crowd to the top of the mountain behind the village to look far away.The sea at dusk, standing on the top of the mountain and watching, has a special view, while Xu Haibao is preparing dinner.

Considering that those girls have a good relationship with Xu Qingya, when Xu Haibao is preparing dinner, it is natural that he must prepare some seafood stocked in the nameless pearl.Among them are still indispensable, the wild grouper raised in the fish box in the backyard of their own house.

He picked one and threw it into the unnamed bead, and Xu Haibao grabbed another one from the unnamed bead.In this case, in the eyes of Xu Qingya and others, the number of fish in the fish box has decreased, and they will not suspect that Xu Haibao has temporarily changed the package.

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

The still-live squid was fried on a plate 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. Tonight's reception is still mainly seafood, supplemented by other vegetables.

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

Although it was a bit late for lunch, Chen Xingcheng could smell the aroma of the kitchen, and he said curiously: "Xiaoya, how is your brother's cooking skills? The smell seems to be very good! I really didn't know that he would Cook."

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

After laughing and praising her elder brother, Xu Qingya quickly got into the kitchen and looked at the dishes that had been fried and kept warm by the stove.The girls who followed him into the kitchen also felt that Xu Haibao really knew how to cook.

On the other hand, when Xu Haibao saw Xu Qingya and the girls coming in, he smiled and said, "It's just right to come back, the dishes are almost cooked, and we can prepare dinner. Xiaoya, prepare the bowls and chopsticks, and let everyone have chicken soup first!" "

Hearing this, the girls who followed the kitchen also said in surprise: "Brother Haibao, you still made chicken soup?"

"That's right! The local chicken raised in the village, with some shiitake mushrooms bought in the supermarket, will be eaten later. They are all home-cooked dishes, and there are no special treats. Let's just eat it!"

"This is already very rich! I am worried that if I continue to eat like this, I will definitely lose weight again when I go back to school!"

Hearing what Liu Xiaohan said, Xu Haibao took a look at the other person's slender figure and said, "With your figure, it's okay to add two catties of meat. There's no need to wrong yourself for being thin. Eat as much as you want, that's great!"

"That's the way it is! But if I really want to gain weight, I always feel uncomfortable! Brother Haibao, do you think I look good now, or do I look better if I'm two catties fatter?"

Regarding the teasing meaning in Liu Xiaohan's words, Xu Haibao chuckled and said, "As far as your current figure is concerned, even if you are really fat by two catties, you won't see any difference. Unless these two catties of flesh grow all over your face!"

"How ugly that is!"

Xu Qingya, who was cleaning up the dishes, looked at Liu Xiaohan who was talking and laughing happily with her elder brother, and somewhat guessed Liu Xiaohan's intentions.However, she was very clear about Xu Haibao's character, and it would be very difficult for him to take the initiative.

As for the other girls, they more or less knew that Liu Xiaohan had been interested in Xu Haibao since junior high school.Although we haven't seen each other for five years, Liu Xiaohan still seems to appreciate Xu Haibao's character after contacting him a few times.

What surprised Liu Xiaohan was that Xu Haibao seemed to treat her no differently from other girls.Many times, if she didn't take the initiative to find topics to chat with, Xu Haibao rarely took the initiative to chat with her.

Judging from this situation, Xu Haibao didn't seem to have any special meaning for her.This made Liu Xiaohan, who was very confident in his own charm, somewhat depressed.After all, the university she is studying in still has many suitors!
As Xu Qingya set the table and chopsticks, Xu Haibao also called out at the right time: "Fatty, don't be dazed, come in and serve the soup quickly! Do you have the nerve to let a girl do such a dangerous thing? Are you really treating yourself as a guest?"

"Brother Bao, you can't treat one more favorably than another. Could it be that you didn't treat me as a guest?"

"Of course, the purpose of calling you here is to make you a coolie and help you lose weight. If you continue to gain weight, I will worry about whether you will eat up your own restaurant in the future!"

Although it was the first time for everyone to meet her today, many girls knew that Chen Xingcheng was the young shopkeeper of Donghua Restaurant in the city.For them, this can be regarded as a somewhat famous rich second generation.

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

For these girls who are mostly sophomores, if they don't want to find a boyfriend from other places, a boy like Chen Xingcheng may be a good choice.It's just about falling in love, sometimes it depends on feeling and fate!

As Chen Xingcheng brought the cooked chicken soup to the table, Xu Qingya, who was the host, also started to make soup for everyone.As for Chen Xingcheng and Liu Chenglin, they couldn't avoid having a couple of glasses of liquor, anyway, there was good white wine at home.

While drinking Xu Haibao's chicken soup, Chen Xingcheng, the young manager of the restaurant, tasted it and said: "This chicken soup tastes very authentic 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 was carrying the dishes out of the kitchen, heard him, and immediately retorted: "Fatty, you should care about yourself! Did your father tell you, let me introduce someone for you!"

Originally, he wanted to tease Xu Haibao, but unexpectedly he was caught.Facing the glint in Xu Haibao's eyes, Chen Xingcheng resolutely admitted his cowardice and bowed his head to drink the soup, ignoring Xu Haibao who was teasing him at all.

At this time, Xu Qingya urged: "Brother, is the steamed fish still not ready? Look, Mengmeng is waiting anxiously."

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

Xu Qingya, who let Liu Yuemeng directly expose the truth, also said in shame and annoyance: "You little traitor, wait for the best fish, and my sister will not pick it up for you. Drink less soup, and eat more fish later , that is the most delicious thing!"

"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 you some to eat, and I promise to let you eat." Be full, okay?"

"Okay, thank you uncle!"

Regarding the situation where Liu Yuemeng called Xu Qingya's sister, but called Xu Haibao's uncle, making Xu Qingya a generation shorter out of thin air, the girls also found it very funny.In fact, Liu Yuemeng also called them sisters.

On the other hand, Chen Xingcheng also became an honorable fat uncle.Originally Liu Chenglin wanted to correct it, but Xu Haibao and Chen Xingcheng didn't mind.For them, it doesn't matter whether they are called elder brother or uncle.

From Xu Qingya's obsessive attitude, Chen Xingcheng also saw some clues and said: "Xiaoya, the fish your brother cooks is delicious?"

"Of course, I can assure you that the fish will make you want to swallow your tongue later. Speaking of which, most of the fish that my brother and I caught with great difficulty ended up being sent to your shop. Those fish , It's really delicious!"

"The big grouper you said? You still have it at home?"

"Of course, I can't give you all the good things! The remaining few fish are my rations!"

In the expectant eyes of everyone, Xu Haibao finally brought out tonight's main course, a large steamed grouper on a big fish plate.In addition to the hot steam from the big grouper just out of the pan, the wafting fragrance also makes everyone salivate.

Just when Chen Xingcheng was curious, this wild big grouper seemed nothing special to him.Xu Qingya who picked a piece of fish and put it into Liu Yuemeng's bowl also said mysteriously: "Mengmeng, try this fish and see if it tastes good!"

"Okay, thank you sister Ya!"

When the little girl took a bite of the thornless fish, she said excitedly with her whole face: "Wow, this meat is really delicious! Mom, you should try it too, the meat of this big fish is really good eat!"

As a result, it was obvious that as everyone began to eat fish with their chopsticks, the wonderful taste of the articulate taste instantly conquered everyone's taste buds.Even after Chen Xingcheng tasted it, he was shocked by the deliciousness of the grouper.

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