I am studying and eating melons in Chronicle

In the end, Su Nuan got the copper pot through some unknown means.

Since she has taken out the most important cooking tools, she does not need to be involved in the ingredients and handling. She only needs to clean the pot.

The chef tonight is still Chu Silan. She takes over most of the food preparation and semi-processing work, and the ingenious Tu Sizi assists.

Since they contributed, it was naturally Yunling and Qian Li who contributed the money.

Yunling took out the best fresh cuts of beef, mutton, and pork, as well as shrimp, eel and other seafood to make shrimp paste and fish balls.

No one asked her where these fresh fish and shrimps came from. After getting along with her for so long, they all thought that she had special channels and everything was self-evident.

The soup base of traditional copper pot shabu-shabu is mostly water, but Yunling also threw in some dried wolfberry, dried longan, jujube, green onion segments, and ginger slices...

She was still a little confused about whether to let it go, but she had taken it out, so let’s let it go!

Seeing that she had prepared all the ingredients, Qian Li thought about it and asked someone to buy a box of small champagne soda, a box of canned yellow peaches, and various dried fruits and roasted seeds and nuts. These items were all limited-purchase items. When people helped bring them to the door, everyone was shocked.

"Great hand..."

Yunling took a bite of the apple and blinked, but she also felt that Qian Li's family was quite capable.

Not only because of the price and weight of these two boxes of things, but also because the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Qian Li just left the house and the things arrived not long after. This efficiency is not too fast.

Yunling secretly sighed to herself that she was so talented in purchasing and logistics, she was really ashamed of herself.

"Boom boom boom——"

The back of the knife hammered the fish meat on the chopping board back and forth, and the scattered meat was gradually beaten out of glue and kneaded into a ball.

Chu Silan clasped his thumb and index finger, squeezed out the fish paste from the circle of the tiger's mouth, rolled it into the water, gradually shaped it into a ball shape and fished it out.

Each round, white fish ball bounced into the fish plate, roughly the same size, mixed with the previously made beef balls, black and white, it can be said that big beads and small beads fell on the jade plate.

Immediately afterwards, she skillfully sliced ​​the meat and spread it on the disc, standing upright, as thin as cicada wings, and as transparent as paper.

Six plates of meat were immediately brought to the table, two plates each of pig, beef and sheep, placed in a circle of copper pots. The middle was steaming hot, and soon the room was filled with fairy spirit and warm as spring.

"Bam—"

The bottle cap tilted up and white smoke spilled out.

Qian Li made a grand statement: "One for each person. If there is not enough, take more. Drink as hard as you can. I won't go home until I finish this box today."

"I don't know, I thought we were having a drink here!" Su Nuan opened two bottles of canned yellow peaches and poured them into the soup bowl.

Tu Sizi pursed her lips and smiled shyly: "Dr. Yun has already said that we will stay at her house together today. It will be warm even if we are crowded."

Chu Songlan raised her head and wondered: "I just wanted to ask, the person next to you I haven't seen for a long time. She doesn't live here anymore?"

"Lingli?" Yunling raised her chopsticks and stirred the peanut butter and sesame paste in the bowl. "She's back. I'm pretty safe here. I don't need an assistant for the time being."

Externally, Ling Li still presents herself as her assistant.

"Then she's back?"

Yunling shook her head: "No, she is very talented. It would be a waste of talent to stay by my side."

In fact, they know their own sense of propriety and don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked, so the topic about Ling Li ends there.

Yunling did miss her a little when she mentioned it.

To be honest, Ling Li's acquaintance with her was not gentle, and her temper was a little cold, but she admired her abilities, whether it was force or leadership.

So she often regretted that it was really humiliating for this person to stay by her side, especially when she was an outstanding female worker in the contemporary era. Therefore, when Ling Li was transferred back to the capital before the college entrance examination, Yunling was happy for her. After all, that was the center of power leadership and a place more suitable for her.

She heard that new people would be sent to protect her in a few days, but she didn't care. Since I chose to disclose it in the first place, I was mentally prepared to have my whereabouts monitored at any time.

It is reasonable to compare one's heart to one's heart.

The hot pot is heated and steamed until the noodles are hazy.

Even after removing the charcoal fire, the temperature in the house did not drop at all.

"Comfortable..." Qian Li slowly moved from the chair to the kang with her round belly supported, and lay down softly backward. The bedding that had been laid out long ago was so soft and thick that once you fell into it, you didn't want to get up again.

She looked up to the sky and sighed: "Ah... go to bed after eating. It is a rare pleasure in life."

Everyone was so full that they didn't get up for a while.

Chu Songlan narrowed her eyes slightly and stretched her waist: "Just put these away for now, and we'll put them away tomorrow."

The rest of the people also nodded in agreement. Those who celebrate the Chinese New Year can naturally rest for a moment.

But they are all exquisite girls. Before going to bed, they still drag their heavy bodies, brush their teeth and wash their faces, and shrink into the bed like silkworm chrysalis.

Yunling slept in the innermost room, leaning against the window. When she looked up, she could see hoarfrost and ice flowers, and red paper ribbon cuttings. The dim light illuminated the cold night, making her quiet and peaceful.

Turning around to look at the room, it was chaotic but lively and festive, and the leftovers were left in the cold but still tasted like a human being.

The five girls were lying in rows on the hot kang, their steady breathing coming and going, and their faces full of smiles of satisfaction and happiness. It can be seen that they were immersed in a beautiful dream and all their wishes came true.

You may not be reluctant to leave this place, but you will always remember it in your heart.

Yunling drew the curtains to cover the crescent moon, and whispered to herself:

"Good night."

Outside the window, a piece of crystal snowflakes danced and fell lightly.
-

The days after the new year are long and pass like water, and Maodong's boredom gradually welcomes the first admission notice.

As soon as Su Nuan came out of the design department of the clothing factory, she heard the guard coming downstairs to stop her: "Comrade Su, you just happened to be off work. This messenger is waiting at the door. I was just going to call you!"

She subconsciously thought it was an admission notice, for no other reason. Su Nuan counted the days every day, looked forward to it and read it every day. Even her brother thought she was crazy.

"Okay, I'll go right now!"

The uncle saw her running straight to the gate, her ponytail flying in the air, and in the blink of an eye there was only a shadow left. He clicked his tongue and sighed: "You must be a young person, look at this vitality!"

The messenger was at the door. When he saw her running from a distance, he braked in time, gasped for breath, and asked with a smile: "Is this Comrade Su Nuan?"

Su Nuan bent over, held her knees, took out her admission ticket from her trouser pocket, unfolded it and showed it to him: "I am."

"This is your admission notice." The messenger came with the happy news and was beaming with joy.

Su Nuan quickly grabbed a few pieces of candy from her pocket. It was originally to prevent her from hypoglycemia, but now it came in handy.

"Thank you, this is for you. Thank you for your hard work."

The messenger was not polite and accepted it: "Then I'll take it as a blessing and leave first. I have to send it to the next family."

Su Nuan nodded, completely immersed in uncontrollable ecstasy. With trembling fingers, she tore open the outer cover and slowly unfolded the thin white paper.

This is the true starting point of her new life. (End of chapter)
