216: Chapter 215: Expensive Ho Cooking
Bringing Li Shishi back to the courtyard house, as soon as I got ho, I saw Xiaoqing and Qingluan sitting on the sofa, discussing which of the brought-back souvenirs was the best.
Qingluan, holding a seashell brought back by Xiaoqing, said enviously, “This shell is really beautiful, why didn’t I see it at that ti?”
“If you like it, take so, I bought quite a lot this ti,” Xiaoqing said with a smile.
At this mont, I realized that girls have absolutely no resistance to three things: first is beautiful objects, second is delicious food, and third is romantic love.
As soon as one of these appears, girls will rush forward one after another, just like Qingluan is doing right now.
Even though she knows she can’t take them all, she’s still picking and choosing her favorites.
Seeing Song Yun and Li Shishi co back, Xiaoqing waved to Li Shishi with a smile, “Sister Shishi, co over and see which one of the things we bought looks the best.”
Li Shishi walked over and felt a bit dizzy seeing a table full of items–Xiaoqing’s side was all beautiful shells, while Qingluan’s side had a bit of everything, as if she brought back all the stuff from HN.
“The things you guys bought are all pretty good, they look like they’re of high quality,” Li Shishi said, holding a seashell.
“Hehe, isn’t it because I have a good eye?
Oh right, what did you buy?
Take them out and share with us,” Qingluan asked with a smile, her eyes locked on Li Shishi.
“?
I’ve forgotten what I even bought, those things are all piled up in my suitcase.
If you like them, feel free to take the whole suitcase.”
“Hehe, what you bought is still not as good, not as high quality as mine.
Let
tell you…”
While I was talking, I noticed the ladies were still discussing which things looked good.
Annoyed, I took down my two pairs of nautilus shells and arrogantly placed them in front of the girls, “These four nautilus shells are really sothing.
Back in the day, Luo Binwang even wrote a poem for it, ‘On Phoenix Tower, the flute shall cease, In the nautilus cup, wine’s offer decrease.’ That’s enough to show the value of the nautilus.”
“Are these two pairs of nautilus shells not better than the things you guys bought?” I said with a smile.
But soon I realized my mistake.
Originally, I only wanted to show off a bit and then give one to each of them, keeping one for myself.
But it seed like I no longer had any control over these four nautilus shells.
The four nautilus shells had already been divided.
Xiaoqing, seeing that both Li Shishi and Qingluan had a pair, resignedly shrugged at .
“Xiaoqing, co to my room later.
I have sothing even better than that,” I gritted my teeth as I watched those two won take photos and show off.
Xiaoqing is obedient, not making a fuss about not getting a nautilus shell, only looking at Li Shishi and Qingluan with a helpless smile.
When she heard what I said, she happily nodded her head.
“Hahaha, I got quite the haul today.
I’ll cook for you guys myself,” Qingluan declared happily, holding a squid dish.
“Stop joking.
A happy thing is turning sour if we end up in the hospital after eating your cooking,” I jibed from the side.
“Do you want to die?” Qingluan glared at , unhappy.
“Alright, alright, I suggest we all go to the kitchen.
Each of us, including Senior Brother Song, should cook a dish, to show our appreciation for Senior Brother Song’s constant help.
Of course, I will guide you through all the cooking,” Xiaoqing said with a smile.
While Li Shishi and Qingluan were returning to their room, I hurried Xiaoqing into my room, and took out a beautifully crafted box from my suitcase.
Inside was a shell, which looked as translucent as white jade.
“This is Conch Jade, far better than their nautilus shells,” I handed the box to Xiaoqing, saying that the Conch Jade, originally intended for my own collection, was now given to her as I couldn’t bear to see her without sothing to show off, considering she was the only one without.
“This…
isn’t this too precious?” Xiaoqing hesitated.
“What’s precious or not precious?
If Senior Brother Song is giving it to you, just take it,” I said domineeringly, with a bit of a domineering CEO vibe.
“You can’t tell those two outside about this, okay?
I still have one more, and if you tell them, they’ll definitely try to wheedle it out of .
Let’s keep this a secret between us.”
“Mm,” Xiaoqing affird with a blushing face.
By this ti, Xiaoqing was already being called from outside.
She quickly put the box back in the room and rushed downstairs,while I lit a cigarette and sat on the sofa, pondering my next steps.
Ti passed quickly, and soon a delicious sll wafted from the kitchen.
Each of the three ladies carried a dish out.
“Song Yun, co and eat,” Li Shishi called from the dining table.
I hurried over and felt ward by the sight of three dishes; this was the feeling of ho, even the simplest ho-cooked als were far better than any star-rated restaurant.
With Qingluan’s expectation, I took a bite of the fish at.
Hmm, not bad at all, but where did this fish co from?
I don’t rember buying any fish at for the house.
“This fish tastes really good; it looks like Qingluan made a special trip out just for it,” I said with a smile.
“I didn’t buy it,” Qingluan said puzzledly.
“If you didn’t buy it, who did?
This fish didn’t just fly into your pot by itself, did it?” I waved my hand dismissively, thinking she was kidding.
“I saw this fish in a box in the yard and just cooked it,” Qingluan said as she too took a bite of the fish.
“This kind of fish is so much tastier than carp.”
“You’re saying this fish was in a box?” I laughed nervously upon hearing this.
Zhao Yan called
during the trip, saying she spent 13,000 on a Golden Dragon fish and planned to bring it over soday.
I didn’t take the matter seriously.
Who would have thought the first ti I’d et this fish would be on the dinner plate?
Seeing my stunned expression, Qingluan thought she had done sothing wrong.
Tentatively, she asked, “Is this fish not supposed to be eaten?”
“Of course, it can be eaten.
It was bought to be eaten,” I forced a smile, since it was already eaten, there was no point in scolding Qingluan now, especially since I hadn’t told her not to eat the fish.
It’s just that this al turned out to be a bit expensive.
A simple ho-cooked al just cost
over ten thousand.
