Chapter 51 A Big Meal

Ah Ran couldn't break free, and was led out by Qiao Xiangsi.

In the hazy night, under the deserted moonlight, Qiao Xiangsi's eyebrows are picturesque, like a pearl haloing, like a beautiful jade, the brilliance is indescribable.Ah Ran was stunned for a moment, only thinking that this scene must be deeply imprinted in her heart, and she would always think about it after she lost her eyesight in the future, so she forgot to evade and let him hold her hand.

"Your hands are so cold." Qiao Xiangsi said out loud.

Ah Ran was startled awake, and apologized repeatedly, trying to withdraw her hand.

Qiao Xiangsi held him even tighter, and said nonchalantly, "It happens that my palms are very hot, you can help me cool off."

Indeed, Qiao Xiangsi's hand was so warm, almost scorching hot.Even the thousand-year-old ice will melt if he touches it.

Ah Ran felt that her hands were getting hot from being covered, and the heat even spread all the way up to her face, so she moved her fingers uncomfortably.The fingertips lightly brushed Qiao Xiangsi's palm, Qiao Xiangsi gasped and muttered something.

"What?" Ash asked.

Qiao Xiangsi said, "Don't move around, it's just ahead."

——And here is less than one mile away from Ah Ran's noodle shop.

Aran originally thought that Qiao Xiangsi lived elsewhere, and the two of them still had a long way to go, but they didn't expect to reach their goal in just a short distance.Not knowing whether it was disappointment or joy, he looked up and saw an exquisite courtyard.Qiao Xiangsi stepped forward to call the door, and a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper opened the door to greet him, and respectfully called young master.

"Let Xiao Wu use all the skills of pressing the bottom of the box, and cook a table of the best dishes to entertain the distinguished guests." Qiao Xiangsi ordered.

Ah Ran hurriedly said: "It's so late, don't bother..."

Qiao Xiangsi said, "I'm not full yet."

Ah Ran showed surprise, and Qiao Xiangsi said angrily: "I only ate three eggs and drank a bowl of soup. We martial arts practitioners move a lot and eat a lot. Who is like you? That's it." With a bigger sparrow stomach, two bites will fill you up. See how thin you have become."

"No, I don't think you eat too much." Ah Ran quickly explained, "I saw that you have lost weight like this, that's why... practicing martial arts is really hard."

Qiao Xiangsi didn't have the nerve to say that she wanted him to lose weight. She didn't practice martial arts at all these days, and she usually lay on the bed feeling sad, so she said, "That's right. I ate with you just now, and now you ate with me." .”

Qiao Xiangsi brought Aran to the main hall, but he felt that it was not warm, so he ordered someone to carry out the smoke cage and let Aran sit on it.

After being steamed by the fragrant heat, Ah Ran felt dizzy and flattered, and stammered: "I, I'm not cold."

"It's so cold that I'm shivering, but it's still not cold." Qiao Xiangsi sneered, and she took a foot stove, bent down and placed it at Ah Ran's feet, "Here, warm your feet first."

Ah Ran shrank to the side: "I've been busy all day, and my shoes are not clean, it's not good if they get dirty."

Qiao Xiangsi said displeasedly: "What is this? If it gets dirty, it will get dirty. I'll buy another hundred for you. You only have one pair of feet. If you freeze them, they will be gone." It could freeze to death, but Qiao Xiangsi was really unhappy, so he had to obey him.

At this time, the meals were ready, and plates of hot and cold delicacies were brought to the table.

"Xiangsi..." Aran carefully tugged on Rajo Xiangsi's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, there are so many dishes, they will spoil after a long time."

"Is this a lot?" Qiao Xiangsi was surprised, looked at the table, and then said to A Ran, "The dishes haven't been finished yet, this is not as much as I usually eat."

"You can eat so much by yourself!" Ah Ran was actually very impressed.

Qiao Xiangsi was silent for a moment, and said to the servants who were serving: "Tell Xiao Li not to do it, let's eat these first." After speaking, he coughed dryly, and asked Ah Ran, "What wine do you want to drink?"

Ah Ran shook his head immediately: "I don't like drinking." In fact, he doesn't like others drinking either.Many guests look gentle and gentle, and they like to beat people when they are drunk.Therefore, when he sees other people drinking, he is always on tenterhooks, always feeling that he will be beaten the next moment.

Qiao Xiangsi sneered, but she didn't drink herself, so someone got warm honey water for Ah Ran, urging him to eat vegetables quickly.

Ah Ran was already feeling hungry when he smelled the aroma of the food.Picking up the chopsticks and looking at them, I don't recognize any delicacies on the table, but they are all delicious in color and fragrance, I feel dazzled and don't know how to set the chopsticks.

"Eat some of this." Qiao Xiangsi gave Ah Ran a piece of meat in the shape of a garlic clove, as white as snow.

Ah Ran looked at it, but she didn't know what it was, she put it in her mouth and chewed it, it was really fat, tender and delicious, with a lingering fragrance on her tongue, after swallowing it, she smacked her lips, still having an endless aftertaste.

"What kind of meat is this?" Ah Ran asked, "Is it dragon meat?"

"I've never eaten dragon meat, it's just fish."

"Fish?!" Ah Ran couldn't believe it, "I have eaten fish before, but this one is not fishy at all. Besides, what kind of fish looks like this, it has no thorns."

"I told you I wouldn't lie to you." Qiao Xiangsi said, "It's indeed a fish, the garlic clove meat of a four-gilled perch. Look, isn't it arranged in the shape of a fish?"

Ah Ran saw that it was indeed the case, but he still felt that it didn't taste like fish, and he didn't know what "four-gill perch" or "garlic clove meat" was, so he pretended to understand and nodded, and picked it up with his chopsticks. A piece of what looked like bacon.

"This is smoked deer preserved." Qiao Xiangsi took the initiative to introduce, "This is bear's palm tendon, quite chewy."

Ah Ran didn't dare to eat.

At first glance, the dishes on this table are clear and bland, not much greasy or meaty, but even the most expensive banquet in Nuanxiang Pavilion pales in comparison.Ah Ran hadn't even seen the chef's craftsmanship in Nuanxiangge, and he didn't understand the subtlety of this famous chef's proud work. He just thought it was delicious.

"What's your favorite dish?" Qiao Xiangsi asked.

Ah Ran hesitated for a moment, and finally chose the only dish he recognized: "This vermicelli is the best. How do you make it? It should be...not expensive, right?"

"Oh, this is shark's fin." Qiao Xiangsi readily taught, "You are asking the right person, I just know how to do it. This dish is a bit troublesome to prepare, but it is not worth anything. It is the shark's fin that is ready, use chicken soup first Stew it, then wrap it with cloud legs, purple abalone, and chicken skin of a young hen, wrap it with fresh lotus leaves, and put it in the seasoning. Burn it for an hour, then replace it with lotus leaves and steam it in a basket. Shark’s fin has no smell, It’s nothing more than borrowing the freshness of abalone and ham, and adding a little fragrance of fresh lotus leaves.”

The more Ah Ran listened, the wider her eyes opened. She looked at the plate of shark's fin for a while, hesitated, stretched out her chopsticks to lift up the fresh lotus leaves placed underneath, and searched for it. Still unwilling to give up, she asked Qiao Xiangsi, "What are you doing?" What about abalone, ham and chicken skin?"

"Throw it away."

Ah Ran was disappointed: "Why throw it away?"

"The umami has gone into the shark's fin, what else do you need?"

"No way." Ah Ran retorted, "I once got half a chicken, stewed the chicken first, ate the meat, and then used the chicken bones to make soup, and it was still delicious."

Qiao Xiangsi was at a loss for words for a moment.Aran said again: "There is also ham. Last time I brought you the ham that was stewed once, and you enjoyed it too."

In front of such iron evidence, Qiao Xiangsi was speechless, so she had to change the subject: "Speaking of which, places like Nuanxiang Pavilion hold banquets every day, and there should be a lot of leftovers from the guests. Why are you so hungry?"

"The leftovers from the guests will not be given to us casually. We need to have a relationship. Those who have a good relationship with the kitchen manager can eat it, and those who have a bad relationship can't eat it."

"You have a bad relationship with the manager over there?" Qiao Xiangsi asked, tilting her head.

Ah Ran stammered: "It's just... that person likes to take advantage of others."

"Who is that bastard?!" Qiao Xiangsi was furious when she heard the words, and her heart ached again, "Those hams, you are..."

"Oh, that man has a cat and feeds it delicious food every day. The cat can't eat, so I often go to help it solve some." Aran smiled, "I said that I ate fish, and it was also that cat. Give it to me."

Qiao Xiangsi breathed a sigh of relief, but she wasn't unhappy because she ate the cat food, she just laughed and said, "What did you say to give it to you, obviously you stole it from others."

"It clearly agreed." A Ran was plausible, "I asked it if it couldn't eat it, and it meowed; I asked it if I could eat it, but it still meowed. And when I took it away, it was still very Happily meowing and rubbing against me."

"I thought you just had cat eyes, but I didn't expect you could really talk to cats." Qiao Xiangsi joked.

Speaking of eyes, Ah Ran's expression darkened, and he looked deeply at Qiao Xiangsi for a while.

"Hey, I'm just joking, you won't hate me for it, will you?"

"Yeah." Ah Ran smiled and continued to eat.

He just wants to remember him.

After successfully changing the subject, Qiao Xiangsi also came to her senses at this time, her daily diet was too extravagant, and Ah Ran, who was afraid that half a chicken would have to eat two meals, was not used to it.

Afterwards, he stopped deliberately showing off in front of Ah Ran, and only tried to persuade Ah Ran to eat more.

Ah Ran didn't have a big appetite, so she ate a round belly in a short time, and leaned on the smoker cage to feel her stomach, almost unable to move.

"No, I can't eat it."

"Eat a little more. This red fruit is sour and sweet, and it's the most appetizing. You should eat one first." Qiao Xiangsi said maliciously, "Otherwise, I'll just feed you."

"I want to sleep when I'm full, and I have to go home later." Saying that, Ah Ran yawned.

"It's a big deal to live here!"

Ah Ran looked at Qiao Xiangsi and shook her head: "No, I'm leaving now."

"We haven't seen each other for several days, can't we chat?"

"Okay." A Ran said, "It's just right, I also want to ask how much money should I give you for the meal I just had?"

"You!" Qiao Xiangsi changed color suddenly, and stared at Ah Ran fiercely.However, after a while, the pretended toughness collapsed.

"You really want to have nothing to do with me anymore." Qiao Xiangsi smiled wryly, "Can't even be friends?"

Aran was silent.

"Okay!" Qiao Xiangsi was furious, looked directly at Aran, and said word by word, "I will pay you the money first. Starting tomorrow, I will go to your noodle shop to eat noodles for free every day until I finish eating Up to the price of the meal."
