The Villain in the World of Women

The violent shaking woke the girl up. She blinked and looked at Xie Qingliu, who had appeared in front of her without her knowing, with a puzzled look on her face.

"Come over and give me a hand." Xie Qingliu pointed at a large piece of pork leg hanging on the wall and said, "You are the guest this time, so show your face and just treat it as a normal thing. Don't look at the camera."

"Uh-huh!"

Xia Yixue nodded quickly and stood up to straighten her clothes and comb her hair.

The temperature inside the house was incomparable to that outside. She didn't feel cold even though she was wearing a thin sweater. She even felt warm.

Walking forward, the girl saw Xie Qingliu struggling to take the pig leg off, and hurriedly helped him hold on.

"Put it on the sieve." Xie Qingliu said, holding his breath.

Xia Yixiu looked at the small wounds on Xie Qingliu's hands, which were caused by grinding and picking. He didn't do much rough work, but the skin on his hands was several times rougher than his face and other parts of his body.

With a 'bang', the pig's leg hit the screen. Xie Qingliu stood up and rubbed his waist. His body was really broken. A pig's leg weighing dozens of kilograms almost crushed him.

Taking out a meat cleaver from the storage box next to him, Xie Qingliu took a breath, turned his wrist and began to scrape the meat slices skillfully.

Xia Yixiu was stunned when she saw the slices of pork as thin as a cicada's wing falling onto the plate.

When Xie Qingliu was processing fish yesterday, she noticed that he had very strong basic skills. Now, watching from a close distance, she found it even more pleasing to the eye.

No matter what you do, once you have mastered it to a certain level, it will give people a sense of art when you display it.

Xie Qingliu hasn't reached that level yet, but his dexterity plus the aura of a male god make his originally skilled movements become full of unique charm.

"You are so beautiful, boss." Xia Yixiu blurted out this sentence for some unknown reason.

"Oh?" Xie Qingliu stared at the girl in confusion. What was he trying to do by suddenly flattering her?

"I just simply think it looks good. Boss, please don't have that expression on your face." Xia Yixue was a little embarrassed. The two of them were so used to talking nonsense that they couldn't communicate in a normal way.

"Then you really have no vision."

After Xie Qingliu complained, he looked at the leg of lamb hanging on the stick.

To make a food video, you have to do it to the fullest. Starting from the raw materials, he orders and processes them all himself. Later there will be beef tripe, pork stomach, pig blood, duck intestines... frozen tofu and noodles.

How can hot pot be exquisite? It is to make it from scratch, and do everything by yourself.

After working for a while, Xie Qingliu wiped his sweat and slowly walked to the backyard.

Here the old man raised some free-range chickens and planted shrubs for the chickens to hide. He looked at the big hen hiding in the corner, smiled, and walked up with a sharp knife in his hand.

Mei Mei recorded this scene perfectly. Xie Qingliu faced the impending 'murder' with an 'elegant' smile in the sunshine on this winter day. Even though he was doing such a bloody thing, he looked so elegant.

The chicken is a bit pitiful!

"Pfft, the boss is so fierce."

Watching Xie Qingliu grab the chicken with one hand, raise his knife and slash it, cutting open its throat and letting the blood out with great skill, Xia Yixue only felt a chill on her neck.

"It's not the first time." Mei Mei said in silence: "Before, Qingliu was almost tortured to death just by catching the chicken. Now he knows how the chicken moves."

"Well...how did the boss suddenly think of making this kind of video?" Xia Yixue was actually a little curious. With Xie Qingliu's background and personality, he didn't seem like someone who would like to cook.

"Only Qingliu himself can answer this question." Mei Mei smiled and said, "And don't you think Qingliu is very charming?"

"Yeah." Xia Yixue looked at Mei Mei with subtle eyes. Her childhood friend works part-time as a photographer. This woman is so enviable.

pS: Ulla!!!

Chapter 183 Let's Have Some Wine

Busy time always flies fast. When Xie Qingliu prepared a whole table of hot pot from scratch, the sun was already setting.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or God wanted to add some artistic conception to this photo shoot, but the north wind began to howl, and the sky was covered with dark clouds in the blink of an eye. When the first snowflakes fell, the atmosphere of the people sitting together in the house was very high.

Four cameras were set up in every corner, and Mei Mei monitored through the terminal, no longer having to shoot in person.

A total of six people, including the old man, Xie Qingliu, Lin Zimeng, Xia Yixiu, Lin Qingyu, and Mei Mei, sat together with a brazier on one side, a brass double-flame pot in the middle, and an earthen stove with a blazing flame underneath.

Xie Qingliu picked up a brown jar with some difficulty, glanced at everyone, and said cheerfully: "I asked grandma to brew osmanthus wine specially. She worked so hard today, everyone come and have a taste."

As he spoke, he picked up the exquisitely made transparent crystal cups, filled them up, and placed them in front of everyone one by one.

The fragrance of osmanthus filled the air, and the wine emitted a beautiful amber color under the crystal glass. Everyone began to swallow their saliva before they started eating.

The old woman looked at the group of young people with a smile. For many years, every year at this time, she would sit alone in the dry and cold house, drinking a little wine, looking at the dark night outside, reminiscing about the past, lamenting that her children were not good enough, and feeling sorry for her granddaughter who was suffering outside.

But this year is different. My granddaughter has become more human, and there is a boy who treats her well.

"Xiao Qingliu, come here! Have a drink with me." The old man shouted in a loud voice.

"Yeah." Xie Qingliu quickly picked up the cup. He was still thinking about whether to tease Xia Yixiu and Lin Zimeng, but he was spotted by the old man.

When you take a sip, you'll first taste a little spicy, then a sweet aftertaste, and finally a slight stimulation when it starts to roar, which then turns into a warm current that flows throughout your body.

"Wow! So comfortable." Xie Qingliu let out a long sigh and said happily.

A visible blush began to appear on his face. Everyone looked at each other. Didn’t they say that he used to go to the bar for a long time? Why did he look like he couldn’t drink much?

"Everyone, please feel free to eat."

Xie Qingliu picked up the beef short ribs and blanched them in the red pot full of chili oil, then dipped them in the sauce and stuffed them into his mouth. The whole process was done in one go: "Nice! This young master is getting more and more powerful."

"Qingliu, the filming is still going on." Mei Mei reminded somewhat awkwardly.

"What are you afraid of?" Xie Qingliu poured himself another cup and said with an extremely relaxed smile, "I am who I am."

"Qingliu, we have to go for outdoor training and camping tomorrow, so be careful." Lin Zimeng reminded carefully. She felt that Xie Qingliu seemed a little drunk.

"Come on, Whisper!"

Xie Qingliu stood up and walked behind Lin Qingyu, put his arms around her neck and said with a smile: "Have a drink with me."

"Oh." Lin Qingyu didn't care about anything else. As long as Xie Qingliu was happy, it was fine. As long as he didn't touch her in public, he could do whatever he wanted.

After another drink, Xie Qingliu ate some food and moved closer to Mei Mei.

"Although you are a little bit stupid and pedantic, you are still my childhood friend after all." Xie Qingliu patted Mei Mei's shoulder and complained: "The Li Tiange incident is in the past. That kid is not so easy to be seen through no matter where he is. But you have to know how to use your advantages... Come, have a drink."

"I... okay." Mei Mei didn't know what to say, and clinked glasses with the other party helplessly.

Xie Qingliu, who was in a good mood, returned to his seat, then took out his mobile phone and happily sent a video request to Irene.

“Brother Qingliu!!”

In less than three seconds, the video was connected and Irene's pretty face appeared.

"Hey, little Irene, guess what I'm doing?" Xie Qingliu asked with a smile.

"Uh...drinking?" Irene answered after resting her chin on her hand and thinking for a moment.

"Oh, you've become smarter." Xie Qingliu picked up the cup and urged, "Come on! Cheers, I'm happy today, young master."

"Brother Qingliu, drink less." Seeing that Xie Qingliu's eyes were a little blurry, Irene weakly advised: "Drinking will cause trouble."

"I know. If you discipline me again, I will kill you." Xie Qingliu joked cheerfully.

"Um……"

Irene didn't know what to say for a moment. It was also the first time she saw Xie Qingliu drinking. It turned out that he could be so confused at times. So the girl silently pressed the record button.

The people around just watched Xie Qingliu video chatting with Irene, drinking one cup after another. His originally flushed face became redder and redder, and even his speech began to lisp.

At the end of the video, Xie Qingliu slowly looked towards Xia Yixiu.

"Boss, I can't do it." Xia Yixiu quickly stated that she never drank alcohol because she got drunk once and did a lot of embarrassing things.

"hehe."

Xie Qingliu smiled and stood up, moving closer to the girl. He put a hand on her shoulder and said in a low voice, "Wife, come on! Otherwise, I'll be angry."

"Do it."

Xia Yixiu's body trembled and she felt a little panicked.

"Just drink that little, it's okay." Xie Qingliu urged, picking up the cup in front of the girl and stuffing it into her mouth.

Xia Yixiu wanted to resist, but Xie Qingliu pressed half of his body on her, so in order to avoid choking, she had no choice but to drink it.

"That's right." Xie Qingliu kneaded the girl's shoulders and said, "Come on, continue."

The old man had already started to doze off at this time. He was old and didn't have the vigor of this group of people. Lin Qingyu was still eating silently. Xie Qingliu's cooking skills were getting better and better. Mm! Great.

Mei Mei began to check the shooting progress, fearing that a lot of the materials would need to be edited.

"Terrible." Only Lin Zimeng sat aside and lowered her presence. Looking at Xia Yixiu who started to smile foolishly after being drunk by Xie Qingliu, she foresaw that there would be some trouble tonight.

"Boss, come on! Drink more."

Xia Yixiu and Xie Qingliu leaned against each other unconsciously, just like good brothers, taking turns to drink a glass, and then swallowing a mouthful of fatty beef slices, it was so refreshing.

"Okay, I like you like this, just do it!" Xie Qingliu looked very happy.

"The boss has a good eye."

Under the influence of alcohol, Xia Yixiu became bolder and lost her usual scruples. She put her arm around Xie Qingliu's shoulders and hummed.

"Nonsense, which of my wives is not beautiful? Which one do you think is not beautiful?" Xie Qingliu said with a laugh.

"Yeah, the boss's wives are all pretty." Xia Yixue agreed with a silly smile, then stepped forward and said, "Am I the boss's first wife?"

"You wish. My wife needs to be able to make money for me. Can you do that?" Xie Qingliu slapped the girl on the forehead and said, "You are just a stinky e-sports sister. Be a good little girl and don't think about those things."

"Woo woo woo, I'm also very good, okay." Xia Yixiu said unconvinced.

"Are these two people crazy?" Lin Zimeng muttered with his eyes twitching wildly.

pS: Oh wow!

Chapter 184: Splendor under Fireworks

As night fell, the old woman, supported by Lin Qingyue, went back to her room to rest. Even though she had been a powerful figure on the battlefield when she was young, she had to admit her old age.

As for the other group of young people...

"Boss, do you like Naizi so much?"

Xia Yixiu and Xie Qingliu went outside from inside the house to drink. They set up a small table and a stove, and under the heavy snow, they were so happy with their arms around each other's shoulders.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Is there anyone who doesn't like naizi?" Xie Qingliu said righteously, "The world is cold and indifferent, only naizi can make people feel warm. Haven't you even heard this saying?"

"What a unique phrase, I've never heard of it." Xia Yixue laughed loudly, picked up the wine glass and said arrogantly: "Then I have super warmth."

"Haha, that's qualified 'warmth'." Xie Qingliu also picked up the wine glass, the two clinked their glasses, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Is this really good?"

Lin Zimeng moved a small stool and sat at the door. She listened to the conversation between the two and didn't know where to start complaining.

"It will be fine once you sober up." Mei Mei didn't care.

Xie Qingliu had done much more outrageous things in the past. He was just a little drunk and chatting with some people. It was no big deal.

At this time, Lin Qingyu had settled the old man. The girl carried the fireworks with both hands and set them up in the courtyard. According to Xie Qingliu's plan, the shoot would end with a grand fireworks display. Although the other party was drunk, the girl still remembered this arrangement.

Mei Mei put on a down jacket and set up cameras in the yard. She first found the angle and asked Lin Qingyu to try to place a box.

The sounds of 'bang bang bang' echoed in the vast fields and attracted the attention of Xie Qingliu and Xia Yixiu at the same time. The two of them huddled together, looked up at the colorful fireworks blooming in the sky, and laughed together.

"Sister, the fireworks are so beautiful." Xie Qingliu said with a dazed look.

"Yeah, it's really pretty."

Xia Yixiu also calmed down and stayed close to Xie Qingliu.

Their minds were still clouded by alcohol, but they both recalled some memories at the same time.

Xie Qingliu recalled the memories of sitting in his two-story house in the countryside when he was a child. Life is a long journey, but at that time the world seemed so small. A bottle of Coke, a bag of potato chips, and a GBA were enough to spend a happy day.

Be carefree, have no worries, just be happy!

Only after becoming a corporate slave did I realize that simple happiness is really out of reach.

Xia Yixiu was also reminiscing, but not about her childhood. Instead, she was recalling the scene after losing the game last year.

She wanted to win, she wanted to win very much, not for the so-called championship, she just wanted to win, win this game, win the game she wanted, so there was that flash.
