Chapter 260 Let's see if you are doing well
"Let's go buy something and come back to cook."
"What kind of food do you want to buy?"
"What do you want to eat?"
"You can eat whatever you want?"
"..." When I didn't ask!
……
Two days ago, Zhou Xing promised to cook a big meal, and it happened that today was a holiday, so Qiao Minglang was ready to fulfill his promise.
After the two of them finished their work at home, they went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables together.
Their store is right here. After shopping, Qiao Minglang went back to the store and said hello to his lobby brother, saying that he would cook at his place in the evening and asked everyone to come over for dinner.
We usually go to his side to eat occasionally. There is a yard over there, and everyone likes to eat outside the yard.It's just that the last time a few cousins went to eat at his place, it was still summer, and now it's early winter.
"Okay, did you buy so many things?" Qiao Mingshan asked when he saw that his little cousin and Zhou Xing were carrying so many things in their hands, "Are you cooking at your side, or at this side of the store?" Food?" He thinks it is more convenient to cook in the store, where there are stoves and big pots.
"Go back to where we live and make it. I'll prepare a little bit in advance, and you can eat when you come back." The store will be busy until three or four in the afternoon, and it will be late after packing up.
Now the weather is cold and the sky is getting dark quickly. It was already dark at five or six o'clock.
Qiao Minglang thought that he could go to the house they rented to prepare and prepare it earlier, so that he could start eating when his cousins came over.You don't have to wait until everyone comes back to prepare, which will take a long time.
"That's fine. When they come back, I'll tell them to go to your place together." Qiao Mingshan said.
"it is good."
Qiao Minglang stayed in the store for a while, seeing that there was nothing he needed to help, he and Zhou Xing went back first with their things.
Two people wash and cut the vegetables in advance, and when they are ready, the cooking will be faster, and it will be fine when everyone comes over later.
The rice has been boiled, and the mutton soup is stewed in the pot. The mutton soup cooked with radish is thick and white.After the soup was ready, Qiao Minglang saw that his cousin's group hadn't come back yet. Fearing that Zhou Xing's stomach would be hungry, Qiao Minglang filled a bowl for him and said, "Drink a bowl of soup first to warm you up." Warm belly."
"You eat." Zhou Xing took the bowl, took a piece of meat and let it cool down a bit, and put it to the boy's mouth.
"Eat yours... Woo!" Qiao Minglang tilted his head back, seeing that there was nowhere to hide, he had no choice but to open his mouth and eat the meat.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Zhou Xing said, he put a piece of meat in his mouth, and forgot to blow it. He grinned from the heat, and was not willing to spit out the head in his mouth.
"..." Qiao Minglang didn't hold back in the end, but couldn't help laughing out loud, "Haha..."
"Laugh and laugh!"
"Haha, be careful not to pour the soup!"
***
"Knock Knock-"
Hearing the knock on the door, both of them subconsciously stopped their movements, tilted their heads and looked out the door.The door of the yard was not closed, and someone came in from the outside. Zhou Xingyi looked at the two people and asked, "Why are you two here?"
"Why are you laughing so happily?" Peng Er and Zhang Lei walked in from the outside, and they heard the laughter inside.
Seeing a bowl in Zhou Xing's hand, Peng Er asked, "What are you eating?"
"Dinner so soon?"
"It's none of your business what you're eating, it's not your share anyway. Why are you running here!" These two people came without even a phone call, and Zhou Xing wanted to throw them out.
"Brother, don't be like this, after all, we have been old friends for more than ten years."
Zhang Lei looked at Zhou Xing's food guard, and he smelled the smell of meat as soon as he entered the room. After sniffing his nose, he looked at Qiao Minglang, who had a better temper, and asked with a friendly smile on his face, "Minglang, Did you cook anything delicious?"
"The mutton soup has just been cooked, would you like a bowl?" Qiao Minglang said, "Invite my cousin and the others over for dinner tonight. Have you eaten yet? Why don't you stay with us for a meal?"
"That's a good thing, we haven't eaten yet, and we want to come to ask you to go out for a meal or something." Zhang Lei rubbed his chubby hands, and he didn't seem to forget how delicious Qiao Minglang's cooking was.
Originally, they came here to find Zhou Xing and Qiao Minglang to go out for a meal, but it would be even better if Qiao Minglang cooked a meal and let them have a meal together.
"..." Zhou Xing, if you dare to be affectionate, get the hell out of here!
Zhang Lei and Peng Er didn't seem to understand Zhou Xing's expression. They took the soup that Qiao Minglang had brought for them, found a place to sit down, and drank the soup with a bowl in their hands.
Drinking the hot mutton soup into the stomach warms up the whole body, that is a comfort!
"I knew you had delicious food here, so why would we have to think about where to find it? We just drove to your place." Zhang Lei looked at Zhou Xing who was opposite them, and sighed road.
"..." Zhou Xing saw these two came over to eat, and he didn't come over to help with work in advance. He only knew that the two who came to eat and drink looked disgusted.
"Don't look at us like that. It's just a meal for you. You have to feel unbalanced. Next time I treat guests, I invite you to eat outside. You can order whatever you want." Seeing Zhou Xing looked dissatisfied He, Zhang Lei, protected the bowl in his hand, and it was impossible to return the soup no matter what.
Now that they are in the second year of high school, they have even fewer opportunities to meet old friends.
Zhou Xing doesn't go out to play with them at all now, they used to like to go racing on the top of the mountain.Now that Zhou Xing can't come out to play, they haven't played with the car anymore.Hearing that some newcomers were playing, Zhang Lei had no intention of joining in the excitement.
"Hey, I said that you two are studying so hard, it looks like I'm stupid." Since Zhou Xing couldn't come out to play, even Peng Er started to put his heart into reading, Zhang Lei really wanted to read, It's just that he is stupid, so why can't he read it.
Zhou Xing looked up at Zhang Lei, didn't he?
"..." Zhang Lei put down the empty bowl in his hand, grabbed his sleeves, and wanted to fight Zhou Xing.
But after thinking about it in the end, he gave up.
"Is there any more? Have another bowl." Peng Er had already finished one bowl, and asked Qiao Minglang for a second bowl.
"Also, do you want more? I'll pack it for you. Do you want more?" Knowing that there were a lot of people eating today, when he came back from the store, Qiao Minglang brought a big pot to cook soup, otherwise they With so many people today, the pot is too small and may not be enough.
"Yes, yes." Zhang Lei stood up with the bowl in his hand, smiling so hard that he lost his eyesight, "It's so kind of you, Minglang, I'll go and pack it with you, so you don't have to carry it alone."
These words are insinuating that someone is not good.
The certain young master who was alluded to gritted his teeth in his heart, wishing to drive away these two people who were eating and drinking.
Not long after, he heard a knock on the door. This time it was really his cousins and brothers-in-law who came over.
"You guys sit outside for a while, I'll just stir fry the vegetables." Qiao Minglang asked everyone to sit outside, while he was cooking in the kitchen.Seeing that the little cousin was going to cook, Qiao Mingshan also went to help, "Is there anything else to cook? I'll cook with you, it will be faster with two people."
"It's enough to fry two dishes. The soup and rice are ready. Brother Hall, go out and rest for a while, and I'll be here." Knowing that Brother Hall had been busy in the store all day, Qiao Minglang drove him away. go out.
Qiao Mingshan was pushed out. Seeing that his little cousin could handle it all by himself, he had no choice but to go out to the living room to sit and chat with everyone.
Seeing Zhou Xing and two friends here, Peng Er and Zhang Lei had visited Qiao Minglang's hometown before, so these cousins who saw him also had something to talk to them about.
"Is it ready? What else do you want to do?" Seeing that only his wife was in the kitchen, Zhou Xing groped in.
Qiao Minglang was cooking with a shovel in his hand, and someone touched his back, so scared that he almost lost the shovel in his hand, turned his head to look at the person behind, and warned: "Zhou Xing, you want to If you dare to act recklessly, be careful that I will cut off your claws."
"..." Zhou Xing, my daughter-in-law is so fierce, be afraid!
But knowing that many people came outside today, and someone could see what they were doing when they walked in, Zhou Xing really didn't dare to mess around.
It was already half an hour after the vegetables were fried.
It was already dark outside, the lights in the house were turned on, and the whole living room was lit up.
Everyone brought the dishes to the tables outside to eat. There are too many people eating today, and there are not enough seats.But everyone didn't mind. There was no place to sit at the dining table, so they sat on the sofa in the living room with the meal, turned on the TV, and watched TV while eating.
They didn't finish their meal until around seven or eight o'clock in the evening.
"We're going back." After eating, Qiao Mingshan was ready to take everyone back. Before leaving, he said to his little cousin: "The store is not very busy these days. You can come back tomorrow after going to bed later. You don't have to come so early." of."
"Okay, I'll take a look when the time comes." Qiao Minglang and Zhou Xing sent their cousin out.
Peng Er and Zhang Lei are going back too, and they say goodbye to their friends.
"Come and play when you have time." Although Zhou Xing always disliked these little friends, Zhou Xing had always regarded them as good friends in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have played with them for so many years.
"Haha, okay, sure, sure, we will come when we are free." Zhang Lei responded.
In fact, the two of them didn't want to grab a meal, they just didn't see their good friend for so long, and they wanted to come over to see if he was doing well outside.Now that they have met people, seeing that Zhou Xing's life is not as miserable as they imagined, it seems that life is more nourishing than the two of them, so Zhang Lei and Peng Er are relieved.
It was almost eight o'clock when they saw off all the guests.
The room that was bustling just now suddenly became quiet.
Qiao Minglang looked at Zhou Xing, and Zhou Xing happened to look at him too. The two met each other, and they both smiled when they looked at each other...
