Niu Naitang was even more happy when he knew that he was going to live at Lin Jichen's house. It felt like today was a double happiness. Not counting the winter vacation, he could still live in Brother Lin's house~
Thinking of this, this little guy became as happy as a flower.
"Sister Xiaowei, you just said you were going to Shanghai to hold an album signing event. Are you going to release an album?" Lin Jichen asked curiously.
Qin Xiao nodded slightly and chuckled: "Yes, I originally wanted to give you a few, but I don't have any on hand. When I come back from Shanghai, I will bring you a few and some small gifts."
"That's great. You should bring a few more. Ren Lan, a crazy woman, will definitely want them too."
"No problem, as many as you want." Qin Xiaowei agreed.
The three of them chatted very happily.
Seeing that it was time to eat, Gu Qiuxue said that she would go buy groceries first and eat together later.
Qin Xiaowei suddenly said: "I'll go! I'll cook today!"
"Ah? Sister Xiaowei, do you want to cook?" Lin Jichen said with a stiff expression.
"Don't worry, my cooking skills are no longer what they used to be. I'm going to treat you with admiration. I'm no longer the Wuxia Amon I used to be."
Qin Xiaowei said arrogantly.
"I've been working hard on my cooking skills these days, let me show it off today! I'm going to buy groceries, and I'll lend you your kitchen for a while."
After saying that, without waiting for Lin Jichen to refuse, she went out.
Lin Jichen could only admit it, and hoped that Qin Xiaowei would really make progress. He didn't ask for more delicious food, just that he could eat it.
"Brother Lin, can you help me move the game cabin here?" Niu Naitang begged.
Lin Jichen nodded with a smile: "Okay, let's move now."
"Yeah!" Niu Naitang clapped her little hands and went to open the door for Lin Jichen to lead the way.
Lin Jichen moved her game cabin downstairs and installed it in her bedroom.
Because there is no room in Gu Qiuxue's room, her game cabin and Ren Lan's game cabin are both in her bedroom, so they can only be placed in Lin Jichen's room temporarily.
This actually made Niu Naitang even happier.
Although I can’t sleep with Brother Lin, it’s nice to at least be able to play games in the same room with him~
"Brother Lin, Tangtang will buy you a drink~"
Seeing that he had worked hard, Niu Naitang took out a bottle of iced black tea from his schoolbag and handed it to him.
Lin Jichen took it and took a big sip, then asked casually: "Where did Tangtang buy the drink?"
Niu Naitang replied: "I didn't buy it, I picked it up."
"Picked it up? Where did you pick it up?"
"Under the tower crane."
"What!"
Lin Jichen was stunned, his expression suddenly became very exciting, and he was about to vomit.
Niu Naitang covered his mouth and said slyly: "I bought it to tease you~"
Lin Jichen was relieved, and then he was so angry that he grabbed Niu Naitang and scratched him: "I told you to play with me, I told you to play with me, let's see if I can scratch you, you troublemaker~"
Niu Naitang immediately giggled and begged for mercy.
While the two were having fun, Qin Xiaowei came back, then plunged into the kitchen and began to show off the results of so many days of learning cooking skills.
Lin Jichen and Gu Qiuxue couldn't help but look forward to it. Seeing how confident Qin Xiaowei was, they felt that her cooking skills should really improve.
Moreover, when Lin Jichen saw her coming in, he glanced at the dish in her hand. There were no exaggerated ingredients, such as the beef bones that looked like mourning sticks...
Soon, the first dish came out.
Lin Jichen, Gu Qiuxue and Niu Naitang all walked over curiously, wanting to see what Qin Xiaowei cooked and serve as tasters to satisfy their cravings.
But when the three of them walked over, they found that this dish was very strange, yes, strange.
Never seen it before.
There were pieces of pastry-like things inside, as well as lumps of skinned meat, which looked more and more strange.
Even the cook Gu Qiuxue didn't recognize what this dish was.
"Tangtang, what kind of food does your aunt cook?" Lin Jichen couldn't help but ask curiously.
Niu Naitang shook his head and said he didn't know either.
Hearing Lin Jichen's inquiry, Qin Xiaowei, who was still cooking, revealed the answer to him without turning around.
"This is a new dish I studied, braised bullfrog with skin on five-nut mooncake."
Lin Jichen: "...."
Gu Qiuxue: "...."
Niu Naitang simply ran away.
Lin Jichen and Gu Qiuxue looked at each other and understood the shock in the other's heart.
This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a weird dish.
This is no longer weird, this is terrifying.
Five-nut mooncake? Bullfrog with skin?
Who can eat this?
After eating, I probably just lay down on the couch.
Lin Jichen mustered up the courage to walk over and glanced at Qin Xiaowei's second dish in the pot.
Good guy, I don’t know him at all!
All you could see was a few eggplants with their skins and tails still intact, soaked in a pile of dark liquid and simmering.
Lin Jichen's liver and gallbladder were broken, and he asked tremblingly: "Sister Xiaowei, what kind of dish is this?"
Qin Xiao smiled and answered without raising his head: "This is also a new dish I'm researching, chocolate boiled eggplant."
Lin Jichen: "...."
"Sister Xiaowei, you are my sister, I beg you, please don't go into the kitchen again." Lin Jichen begged with a bitter face.
Although Qin Xiaowei's cooking was outrageous in the past, she still cooked according to normal cuisine.
Now, my dear, it’s like having opened up the Ren and Du channels, and all my artistic talents have come out. Each of the cuisines I’m studying is more and more terrifying than the last.
It can simply destroy your outlook on life.
"What's wrong? You haven't tasted it yet. If you try it, it might be delicious." Qin Xiao said slightly.
Lin Jichen's face was full of bitterness, and he wouldn't eat it even if he was beaten to death.
"Sister Xiaowei, why don't you set an example and have some?"
"Just eat."
After Qin Xiaowei finished speaking, she seemed unconvinced. She picked up her chopsticks and walked towards the plate of braised bullfrog with five kernel mooncakes. She picked up a piece, closed her eyes, and stuffed it into her mouth.
The next second.
"Ugh~"
Then she rushed into the toilet.
The two plates of food were naturally thrown out, and the responsibility of the kitchen was left to Gu Qiuxue.
Gu Qiuxue quickly put on her apron and started cooking, as if she was afraid that Qin Xiaowei would take her place.
"I will never cook again. I admit that I have no talent in cooking."
Qin Xiao said slightly frustrated.
She had always envied Gu Qiuxue for being able to cook such delicious dishes. She felt that to retain a man's heart, he must first retain his stomach, so she worked so hard to learn how to cook.
Now I realize that I am not this material at all.
Lin Jichen comforted him: "It's okay, Sister Xiaowei. Everyone has their own strengths. Your talent lies in music. You can't cook delicious food, but you can sing good songs. This is even more difficult than cooking. It's amazing."
"Okay, even though I know you are comforting me, I am still willing to listen." Qin Xiaowei then turned from worry to joy.
Gu Qiuxue started cooking and soon a sumptuous and delicious dinner was ready.
The four of them sat together and chatted while eating.
It's a pity that Ren Lan is missing, otherwise the family would be more lively.
After dinner, Niu Naitang begged Qin Xiaowei that she wanted to stay at Lin Jichen's house to sleep tonight.
Qin Xiaowei thought that she would have to catch a flight early tomorrow morning so as not to wake up Niu Naitang, so she agreed.
