The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 370 Just Take a Sip
Seeing that the biscuits were intercepted by the little white dog halfway, Qilan laughed so hard that he almost couldn't stand still.

The little guy was biting the cake, as if he was satisfied with a big bone with meat in his mouth.

He squatted down and picked it up, touched its wobbly little head, and joked:

"Xiaobai, don't you love meat buns with thin skin and lots of stuffing? After wandering outside for a while, even the vegetarian pancakes are so delicious when you come home?"

Chen Xing glanced at the little white dog who was chomping on the pancakes, held back his smile, and while adding firewood to the fire, he freed up a hand, touched a warm biscuit from the big bowl by the stove, and held it up in front of him. go.

"Who said the pancakes I kneaded have vegetarian fillings? Try it!"

Qilan hugged the dog with both hands, and couldn't get out to wash his hands for a while, seeing a delicious meat biscuit next to his chin, his stomach immediately became uncontrollably hungry.He lowered his head, took a bite, and the delicious gravy flowed out from the crispy crust.

He chewed and praised:
"The pancakes you make are delicious, the dough is so well kneaded, and the fat and thin seasonings are top notch."

"It must be delicious, my family's new flour and the best pork belly."

Chen Xing is usually modest in his studies, but tonight it is rare to show it off.He shook his head and said triumphantly:
"The recipe of this meat pie was specially learned from my mother. She is a good baker. If her cakes are ranked second in the village, no one dares to say that theirs is the first. I went home a few days ago. Every day when I don’t do other things, I just think about how to leaven dough, how to make oil, and how to mix meat stuffing.”

Qilan couldn't bear to swallow it whole, chewed and ate the cake slowly, saw that he was still squatting by the stove and staring at the boiling broth in the iron pot, half-jokingly said:

"Brother Chen's cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds. I don't dare to cook anymore. From now on, it will be your cooking. I will be in charge of washing the dishes."

He originally praised him sincerely, but Chen Xing blushed in embarrassment and put down the spoon, as if he had seen through the secret in his heart at a glance.

After all, as the son of a wealthy country gentry who didn't like to work since he was a child, it's unbelievable to study hard to get ahead, and to practice cooking and cooking.

Chen Xing carefully concealed his real motivation to practice hard cooking, and he is still too embarrassed to tell his good brother.

To be honest, he didn't go to study for the final exam that was imminent, and spent the whole day in the kitchen, wasn't it just so that Chris could eat delicious and nutritious food when she came back from the night shift every day?
Knowing that Chris loves to eat Chinese food, he wanted to make the food more diverse.

Although Qilan is diligent and the food tastes good, but there is no rule for returning home and leaving home, as long as Lin Mi has something to do, the figure will disappear if he says he can't see him.It's better to do it yourself, have enough food and clothing, and let Chris also eat hot and delicious meals.

On this day, there were more people in the dance hall than usual, and there were much more parties.

Blonde Chrissy has been dancing tirelessly on the dance floor since the night before, like a charming exotic butterfly, attracting waves of new guests.How can the boss be willing to let this cash cow go home on time, and the time to get off work will become out of reach.

Chrissy accepted this kind of schedule. She knew that leaving early was slapping the boss in the face. She needed money to improve her current life and make plans for the future.

Chen Xing waited until dark, but no one came to eat.If Qilan didn't follow through on what he said and came back as promised, he would have to worry about dying with so many dishes alone.

While pointing at the dishes on the stove, he took out a jar of wine from the bucket beside the stove.

"Xiao Lan, all the dishes I cook are here. There are six dishes in total, including meat and vegetables. There is also wine made by my mother."

Qilan glanced at the dishwashing basin, it was clean without a drop of water.

Could it be that after he left, he didn't eat or wash dishes at noon?

Qilan pointed at the basin in surprise and asked, "Brother Chen, what did you have for lunch?"

Chen Xing glanced at Zhu Xingyuan's room facing the window, and got angry again.

He went into the room to deliver pancakes to Zhu Xingyuan in the morning and was ridiculed for no reason, and he didn't want to get into trouble again during the holidays, so he simply ignored the meal.

"The exquisite pastries made by the hotel that Yuexian gave are enough to last for several days, and you even gave the most delicious boxes to this grumpy little brother. He won't starve to death."

Qilan has a good temper. After listening to him, he didn't criticize him for anything wrong. He just reminded him softly:
"You save the food for Chris first. I'll call Brother Xingyuan for dinner right now, and I'm afraid he'll fall asleep later."

After speaking, he rushed to the front of the room in a hurry. There was no light in the room, and it was quiet, and a slight snoring could be faintly heard.

The kind Qilan sighed, bowed his head and walked back.

"Poor brother Xingyuan, he really fell asleep. You can't count New Year's Day just by eating snacks. Tomorrow, I'll buy a chicken stew for him."

Chen Xing looked out of the window in confusion. Indeed, the room was dark, so strange.

That bad-tempered civil servant brother hasn't stopped for a day since he was rescued by the two of them.

At night, the lights should be turned on all night, because a person is afraid of the dark when sleeping alone, and the lights should be turned on during the day, so that the eyes cannot be damaged if they want to read books and newspapers.

The oil lamps are not bright enough, so I insist on foreign candles. When half lit, I don't want the old ones, but replace them with new ones.

After doing this three times, all the foreign candles in the family were exhausted. Thanks to sister Yuexian who sent three boxes when she came to visit them, otherwise even the lighting at night would have become a problem.

He put his hand on the latch of the window and tried to open it for a better look.

Just at this time, Qilan came in, reached out to touch the homemade wine he brought, and asked curiously: "Brother Chen, is this jar of wine you are warming made of sorghum or corn? It smells really delicious." .”

Chen Xing withdrew the hand that was about to pull the latch, walked up to him, and with a "poof", lifted the lid off the jar.

"The picked Sophora japonica flowers are washed in the mountain spring one by one, and then put into the glutinous rice to brew slowly."

Qilan looked at the glistening liquid in the jar, as expected, there was a refreshing fragrance of flowers accompanied by the fragrance of wine.

"It's a pity that we didn't buy wine glasses at home, so we just drink from bowls."

As Chen Xing spoke, he grabbed a small bowl, filled it up with a splash, and handed it to him.

Qilan hardly ever drank any alcohol, so she immediately got drunk when she smelled it.

"I don't drink at all, just a sip at most, it's too much."

"You, you still want to marry a wife. If you don't practice drinking now, does Miss Lin Mi still find someone else to have a drink on the wedding night?"

After Chen Xing persuaded him, he took it and drank it.

Unexpectedly, this wine is made of clear spring water in the mountains. Although it has been warmed in the hot water of wooden barrels for a while, it still has a clear, cold and transparent taste when it enters the mouth.

As expected, Qilan's capacity for alcohol was not good enough, after only drinking this small bowl, he became top-heavy and unsteady.

Although it was not the first time for Chen Xing to drink alcohol, he started to get slightly drunk after drinking the second bowl, and he was overwhelmed after drinking half of the third bowl.
