Chapter 247 Finally Met Everyone
Chapter 247 Finally Met Everyone
Lu Qingxi slept quietly for two hours in the afternoon sun, and felt refreshed when she woke up. She sat up, picked up a book on the bedside table, and immersed herself in it. Just as she was about to change a book to continue reading, the voice of the director team came from the radio, breaking the tranquility of the cabin.
"Please ask male guest number three Yue Muchen to prepare for today's dinner, since your partner today has already checked into Heart-beating House number 2. You have the right to invite other female guests to cook together. Of course, the female guests also have the right to refuse." The voices of the director team echoed in the air. After hearing this, Yue Muchen immediately took the recipe and prepared to go out.
However, when Yue Muchen heard that he could invite other female guests to cook together, he suddenly stopped. A beautiful picture of cooking with Lu Qingxi emerged in his mind, but he immediately dismissed the idea. He knew that his cooking skills were not superb, what if he made a fool of himself in front of Lu Qingxi? More importantly, he couldn't bear to let Lu Qingxi be too tired because of him.
After some thought, Yue Muchen finally decided to take charge of the dinner preparation. He knew that this was an opportunity to show his sincerity and ability, and also a way to express his concern to Lu Qingxi. So, he took a deep breath, picked up the recipe, and walked to the kitchen firmly.
Knowing Lu Qingxi's preference for beef and shrimp, Yue Muchen decided to prepare beef brisket stewed with potatoes and vermicelli shrimp with garlic sauce for dinner today. He carefully read the recipe and studied every step carefully. When handling the ingredients, he was particularly careful and meticulous, ensuring that every piece of beef and shrimp was handled just right.
Yue Muchen was also meticulous in the seasoning configuration. He accurately weighed the various seasonings according to the proportions on the recipe, and then carefully mixed and stirred them. His eyes were focused and serious, as if he wanted to pour all his emotions into these two dishes.
After an hour and a half of careful preparation, the two dishes were finally completed. The beef brisket stewed with potatoes had an attractive color and rich soup; the shrimp with vermicelli and garlic sauce had a good color, aroma and flavor, and the shrimp meat was tender and juicy. Yue Muchen looked at the fruits of his labor and felt a little proud.
He picked up the chopsticks and tasted the beef brisket stewed with potatoes. The beef was stewed until soft and tasty, and the taste was perfectly integrated with the potatoes; the garlic vermicelli shrimp was fragrant with garlic, and the shrimp meat was sweet and delicious. Yue Muchen nodded with satisfaction. He believed that these two dishes would definitely make Lu Qingxi satisfied and surprised.
After successfully finishing the stewed beef brisket with potatoes and vermicelli shrimp with garlic sauce, Yue Muchen did not stop working. He knew that a rich dinner needed a variety of dishes to match. So he started to get busy again, preparing to add more color and taste to the dinner.
He first chose fresh mango and lettuce as the main ingredients of the salad. Cut the mango into even pieces, put it in a bowl with the lettuce, pour the special salad dressing on it, and stir it gently, and a colorful mango lettuce salad is ready. This salad is not only refreshing, but also rich in vitamins and minerals, making it a very suitable appetizer.
Next, Yue Muchen made a simple dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes. He picked a few ripe tomatoes and cut them into small pieces for later use. Then, he beat the eggs and added appropriate amounts of salt and pepper to season. He poured a little oil into a hot pan, and when the oil was hot, he poured in the egg liquid and quickly stir-fried it until it solidified. Then, he poured the chopped tomato pieces into the pan, stir-fried them with the eggs, and added a little sugar and salt to season. After a while, a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes that looked good, smelled good, and was ready.
Now, Yue Muchen had prepared a sumptuous dinner. He looked at the fruits of his labor with satisfaction, looking forward to Lu Qingxi's tasting and appreciation.
The barrage began to appear:
“It looks great!”
"Yue Muchen just tasted it, and judging by his expression, it should taste good!"
"But I feel like he doesn't realize that this meal is for eight people!"
"Ahahahahaha, all he wants is to feed my wife."
"This looks like it can only feed four people at most."
...
When Lu Qingxi came downstairs, everyone's eyes were focused on her. The female guests were surprised and amazed by her unique beauty and temperament, while the male guests had admiration in their eyes.
When Zhou Sibei saw this scene, she immediately understood that her brother had been so determined to invite Lu Qingxi out for dinner because she was so beautiful and had an indescribable temperament. Recalling the time when she talked to her brother Zhou Siming just now, he directly asked why Lu Qingxi and him were not arranged to stay in the Heart-beating House. Zhou Sibei's dissatisfaction had disappeared at this moment.
She immediately walked quickly to Lu Qingxi and called her sweetly, "Sister-in-law!" This title instantly made the atmosphere at the scene become subtle, and the air in the small room seemed to freeze. Zhou Siming blushed when he heard this title. He didn't expect his sister to be so direct. Lu Qingxi, who was called "sister-in-law", was also a little embarrassed. She smiled slightly, trying to resolve this sudden embarrassment.
Shen Ji, Han Yisu and Yue Muchen's faces turned ugly. They stared at Zhou Sibei's back with unfriendly eyes. Zhou Sibei felt the burning gazes from behind her, and when she turned around, she saw three reproachful eyes. She immediately realized that she might have been too direct, and quickly ran behind Lu Qingxi and whispered, "I made a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue! Don't mind it."
Seeing Zhou Sibei's cute appearance, Lu Qingxi couldn't help but laugh. She gently patted Zhou Sibei's head, signaling her not to take it to heart. Zhou Siming glared at his sister, signaling her to be careful about the occasion when speaking in the future. The atmosphere in the cabin gradually eased.
Afterwards, Zhou Sibei, like a considerate guide, led Lu Qingxi to sit in the seat carefully arranged by the director team, the fourth seat on the left. Their seats were next to Zhao Yizhen's, but there was an empty seat in the middle, which was the seat of Duan Wu in cabin No. 2. The originally harmonious atmosphere seemed a little awkward because of this vacancy.
At this moment, Zhao Yizheng broke the silence. She smiled gently, and there seemed to be a subtle provocation in her voice: "Ms. Lu, you seem to be a little later than usual today. Is it because the date with Mr. Zhou was too pleasant and made you tired?" Lu Qingxi frowned slightly. She vaguely sensed the hidden meaning in Zhao Yizheng's words and was thinking about how to respond cleverly.
