The windows of the restaurant are open, and the evening breeze blows in, which is cool and comfortable.
The setting sun casts red light into the restaurant, lengthening the shadow of the big yellow dog.
Third senior sister Tao Ziqing took a bite of the egg fried rice she made, and instantly her eyebrows were raised in surprise: "This, this, this... I have a breakthrough in my cooking skills!?"
The master, Mr. Xu Sheng, also had a taste. He was undoubtedly much more knowledgeable in cooking. After chewing with his eyes closed, he felt like a master.
Brush~
Mr. Xu Sheng opened his eyes: "This rice is very fragrant! The quality of a meal has a lot to do with not only the level of the chef, but also the ingredients!"
Sitting at the dinner table, Li Shu, Zou Jie and Tao Ziqing all nodded.
The quality of ingredients is really important to a chef. Even some top-quality ingredients are very delicious just by simply steaming them.
"This rice is so delicious. In my 70 years of living, I have never tasted such delicious rice! It is soft and non-sticky, has a strong rice aroma and has a moderate chewiness." Mr. Xu Sheng said in surprise.
“Xiaoshu, where did you buy this rice?”.
Tao Ziqing and Zou Jie did not expect their master to speak so highly of the rice, and they immediately looked at Li Shu curiously.
The little girl was secretly feeding the cat with fish meat, and she looked at Li Shu curiously.
"Ahem, these were grown in the Herb Garden before, and there are some more. I'll take you to see them after dinner." Li Shu said with a smile.
"Okay! So you have planted rice before?".
"Isn't the Baicao Garden dry land? How can we grow rice?" Tao Ziqing also asked curiously.
She was a little helpless. She thought her cooking skills had improved just now, but it turned out that it was the rice that made her happy.
"Yeah, just grown through boxes."
The fish cooked by Mr. Xu Sheng was very delicious, and everyone ate it with praise. Even the big orange cat was satisfied. It rolled under the table with its bulging belly, and used its paws to pound the little girl's sandals.
After dinner, Li Shu took a few people to the first floor of the southern villa. There were more than a dozen bags of rice piled in the corner, each bag weighing about 100 kilograms.
There was half a broken bag next to it. Li Shu pointed at the rice and said, "This is it. I eat rice occasionally, so there is quite a lot left."
Wow~
Mr. Xu Sheng stretched out his hand to grab a handful of rice from the rice bag, and the crystal-clear rice grains fell from between his nails with a soft clatter.
A natural rice aroma hits your face.
Zou Jie, who had a big belly, also came to the rice bag, pinched a grain of rice and put it in his mouth. He bit it lightly and made a soft sound:
"This rice is really good, tsk tsk tsk~ There are so many bags, little junior brother, look at me, senior brothers, I'm here, can you share some with me
Don’t worry, little junior brother, I don’t want more! Just give me 4~5 bags. If you give more, I will worry about you! ".
Tao Ziqing pinched Zou Jie gently: "You are bullying my junior brother! The price of such good rice is probably sky-high outside. No, there should be no place to buy it if you have money!"
"Oh, it's vulgar~ We are all brothers. Talking about money hurts our feelings." Zou Jie said with a squinted smile, with a look on his face.
"Haha, no problem, I'll give you two bags of rice when the time comes." Li Shu said with a smile.
However, he changed the subject and added: "Senior sister made egg fried rice, what is your specialty dish, senior brother? Let me open my eyes, junior brother."
"Well... tomorrow, let's go to the market to buy raw materials tomorrow, and I'll show you my skills then!" Zou Jie had a proud look on his face.
"good.".
A few people left the first floor and went back to the living room on the first floor. They chatted until 8:30 in the evening. Mr. Xu Sheng, who was used to going to bed early, went to sleep in the guest room upstairs.
And Li Shu, Zou Jie, Tao Ziqing and the little girl were sitting on the sofa chatting, eating kiwi, grapes, durian and so on.
Zou Jie and the two were full of praise for the delicious fruit, especially Zou Jie, the second senior brother, who even burped and continued to eat, almost getting anxious.
"The white dragon horse, with its hooves facing west, carries Tang Sanzang and follows his three disciples~".
After watching two episodes of "Journey to the West", the little girl put on her slippers and came down, and said in a sweet voice: "Brother, let's play chess!"
"What chess do you want to play?" Li Shu said with a smile.
Zou Jie and Tao Ziqing also looked at the little girl.
"Let's play chess. I haven't played chess for a long time!" The little girl touched the big orange cat lying beside with its paws. The latter purred and softly called "Meow~".
“Go get the chess set.”.
"OK.".
The little girl went to the storage room to get the chess set in the box and the cloth chessboard.
Spread out the carpet on the right side of the sofa, place all the chess pieces such as "Chariots, Horses, Artillery, Soldiers" and so on. The little girl sits cross-legged opposite the plum tree.
“Rock, Paper, Scissors~Win to go first!”.
"Red goes first and black comes last. I am using a red chess piece, so I should move first." Li Shu said with a smile.
"No, no, whoever leaves first gets the advantage. You can't take advantage of me!" The little girl immediately shook her head like a rattle.
"Okay, rock, paper, scissors."
"Brush~".
The little girl made the cloth.
Stones from plum trees.
"Yeah! Win, win! I'll go first!" The little girl was so happy that her face seemed to smile like a morning glory.
"Be the first to shoot! Aim at your soldiers.".
"I'm jumping on my horse. If your cannon dares to eat my soldiers, my horse will eat your cannon."
Zou Jie and Tao Ziqing sat nearby and watched the game. Tao Ziqing didn't care about playing chess. She was only interested in the beautiful little girl. She was filled with the glory of motherhood and occasionally touched the little girl's pigtails.
Zou Jie was eating winter dates and looking at the chessboard. He was originally full of contempt for little girls, thinking that a little kid of a few years old would be a fool. He felt that Li Shu was just coaxing the child.
But as the chess game progressed, his face gradually became serious, and when he saw the little girl's "Double Cannon General", he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Hi~ Beautiful!!"
Zou Jie looked at the little girl in shock and said to himself: "Is this a genius?"
"Vault!" Li Shu jumped the horse between the two cannons of the little girl, so that the opponent's first "cannon" was aimed at Li Shu's "general" through two chess pieces and could not be hit.
The little girl didn't mess up at all, showed a sly smile, and moved the second cannon directly to the right, aiming at his "car" through Li Shu's soldiers.
"General again!" The little girl smiled and said: "Brother, your rook is dead. The rook is as powerful a chess piece as Xun Wukong. If a rook dies, you will definitely lose this game."
The little girl's second cannon is right in front of Li Shu's soldier, and his soldier can eat her cannon if he takes one step forward.
Unfortunately, after the little girl transferred the second cannon, Li Shu's general was defeated again.
Helpless, Li Shu had no choice but to become a "scholar".
Pa~
"~" The little girl was very happy. She dubbed the words with her own mouth, held the chess pieces and "cannoned" them and flew across the chessboard and hit Li Shu's "car". The chess pieces collided and made a crisp sound.
“Eat your car, perfect!”.
"Little girl, don't get too proud too early. I can still win even if I give you a car." Li Shu said with a smile, and started to use another "car" to chase the little girl's cannon.
"Woof woof~" The big yellow dog opened the door and ran in from outside the villa, with a little bit of dirt from eating carrots still stuck to his mouth.
What are you doing? Let Ben Dahuang take a look! Hey~ What’s so interesting about these wooden cookies? They’re so boring.
