Chapter 639: Know your enemy and yourself, and you can survive a hundred battles.
There were several buttons on the pager. Shao Ying pressed it twice casually, and the pager suddenly started beeping.
Shao Ying frantically tried to turn off the sound, but after pressing it for a long time, it didn't work. Instead, she summoned Shao Ya from the bathroom.
"Didn't I tell you not to rummage through my things?"
Shao Ya took the pager from her hand and complained while turning off the sound.
Shao Ying was not angry, but looked at her with envy, "Second sister, who bought you the pager?"
"A gift from a friend."
Shao Ya put the pager in the drawer of the dresser, and then took an unopened lipstick from the drawer and handed it to her.
"Here's this for you. I bought it while shopping today. Didn't I say that my lips tend to get flaky? Just apply this for two days and it'll be fine."
Shao Ying pinched her lipstick, but her mind was still on the pager.
"Second sister, which friend of yours is he willing to give you such an expensive gift?"
"You do not know."
"You told me I wouldn't recognize you."
Shao Ya ignored it and just reminded me not to touch my things and went to the bathroom again.
Shao Ying pursed her lips, took off the lipstick in her hand, picked up the mirror on the dressing table and tried it on, and then began to think about the friend Shao Ya talked about.
"Second sister, are you in love?"
When Shao Ya came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, Shao Ying immediately ran up and excitedly expressed her guess.
"no."
Shao Ying naturally didn't believe it, "Then do you dare to tell me which friend gave you the pager?"
Shao Ya was a little unhappy, "I told you something you don't know, why are you asking so many questions?"
"Hmph, it must be a gift from your boyfriend! You're afraid that Third Aunt will find out, so you don't dare to tell me. Don't worry, I won't tell Third Aunt."
Shao Ya was annoyed by Shao Ying, so she changed the subject and said, "Why are you in a bad mood today?"
As expected, Shao Ying's attention was diverted, "You're not that Shao Mo. You just roasted a suckling pig. What's the point of showing off? You're so arrogant that you send it around, thinking that everyone like her has never eaten pork."
Hillbilly!”
"Have you eaten yet?" Shao Ya asked her while wiping her hair with a towel.
Shao Ying frowned, "Of course I didn't eat, I would rather starve to death than eat her food!"
At this moment, a servant asked for instructions from outside the door, "Second Miss, the roast suckling pork is hot. Should I send it to you in the study, or should you go to the restaurant to eat it?"
“Just put it in the restaurant.”
As soon as the servant left, Shao Ying immediately shouted, "Second sister, you actually want to eat the roasted suckling pork she sent?"
Shao Ya looked at her strangely, "Why don't I eat? There is no conflict between me and the eldest sister. Don't worry, I won't force you if you don't eat."
When she arrived at the restaurant, Shao Ying gritted her teeth bitterly as she looked at the golden and shiny roasted suckling pork cut into small pieces on the table.
“It looks greasy, I don’t know what’s so delicious about it!”
"You eat it just because you don't know whether it tastes good or not. Once you have eaten it, you will know whether it tastes good or not."
Shao Ying raised her nostrils and snorted coldly.
Shao Ya picked up a piece of roasted suckling pig skin with her chopsticks.
The reheated pork skin is still very crispy. Although it is not as good as freshly baked, it is not bad.
After finishing the pork rinds, Shao Ya took a sip of white porridge to suppress the greasiness, then sandwiched a piece of fat and thin roast pork, dipped in five-spice pepper and salt, and ate it with shredded green onions and lettuce leaves.
Shao Ying had not eaten enough for dinner, and due to her young age and strong digestion ability, she was already hungry. Seeing Shao Ya slowly eating roasted suckling pork, her saliva couldn't help but flow out.
But she was still tough on her words, "It must taste terrible!"
How could Shao Ya not see that she was greedy, she turned around and asked the servant to bring another set of bowls and chopsticks.
"I won't eat!" Shao Ying refused without thinking.
Shao Ya looked at her and said, "If you don't want to eat roast suckling pork, you can eat something else."
In addition to roasted suckling pork, there are also white porridge and two home-cooked side dishes on the dinner table.
Hearing this, Shao Ying did not speak harshly, but mumbled strangely, "Second sister, haven't you had dinner?"
"I ate, but I wasn't full. I have to study for a while. I can't concentrate when I'm hungry."
"It's still early before the college entrance examination. You don't need to study so hard now, right?"
Shao Ya said to her while eating: "The college entrance examination is different from your usual exams. The college entrance examination has many knowledge points and a wide range. If you do one more question now, you may get two more points when you take the college entrance examination. These two
The points are enough for you to defeat thousands of troops."
"Is it that exaggerated?"
"What I said is not an exaggeration at all, but a fact."
Shao Ying was a little unconvinced, "Even if you don't pass the exam, at worst, you may have to pay some money or ask your uncle to help you clear things up, but you may not be able to go to the school you want to study."
Shao Ya showed her disapproval, "If everyone thought like you, the Shao family would have been doomed long ago."
Shao Ying was still unconvinced, "We are girls, and it is not our turn to inherit the family property, so what's the use of studying well?"
"Good knowledge is a very important appearance for a woman. Whether she wants to be invincible in career, marriage, or social life in the future, knowledge is a very important weight.
Girls like us, if we don’t have the ability, will eventually become the tools of the family."
Shao Ying opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything to refute.
After the servants brought clean dishes and chopsticks, Shao Ying began to eat silently.
However, she only eats other vegetables and avoids roasted suckling pork.
Shao Ya saw it and personally put a piece of roasted suckling pork with crispy skin into her bowl.
"I said I won't eat..."
"Know your enemy and your friend, and you will be invincible in a hundred battles. If you want to defeat your enemy, you must have a thorough understanding of her. Don't you always think that the suckling pork roasted by my eldest sister cannot be delicious? How can you be sure if you don't taste it yourself?
Is it delicious?"
Shao Ya's words left Shao Ying unable to argue. After hesitating for a while, she picked up the roasted suckling pork and slowly put it into her mouth.
The entrance is the unique crispiness of roasted suckling pig skin, followed by the tender and juicy pork without any fishy smell, mixed with five spices and sauce aroma, the unique and rich deliciousness greatly satisfies the taste buds.
After finishing one piece, Shao Ying couldn't help but pick up another piece of crispy pork skin.
"Click."
When you take a bite, it is indeed as crispy as rice crackers, but even crispier and more delicious than rice crackers.
After eating the roasted suckling pig skin that was as fragrant as crispy rice, Shao Ying was about to pick up a piece of spareribs to nibble on. As soon as the chopsticks were placed on the plate, she heard Shao Ya across from her ask her, "Is it delicious?"
Meeting Shao Ya's smiling eyes, Shao Ying's face heated up, "I'm doing this to understand the enemy!"
Seeing her harsh words, Shao Ya didn't bother to expose her, but directly pushed a whole plate of roast suckling pork over.
"Then you will understand slowly. After eating, go back and rest early. I will go to the study to study."
"Second sister, you don't want to eat?"
"I'm done eating."
After Shao Ya left, Shao Ying lost all scruples and ate almost half of the plate of roasted suckling pig.
