Chapter 376

Lu Yi stood busy in the kitchen for a long time, and came out with a steaming pot while breathing out: "Hurry up, hurry up! Take the induction cooker and pick it up! It's scalding to death!"

Fang Dian swiftly set aside a table, directed Bai Liu to bring the induction cooker, and finally let the pot land on the ground before Lu Yi Station was about to be so hot that the pot would fly off.

A large pot of steaming hot spicy pot is bubbling on the induction cooker, and the stimulating and warm spice smell instantly fills the room, and every available table, chair and bench next to it is filled with ingredients that have been prepared in plates and washed. The lettuce was dripping.

Lu Yizhan breathed a sigh of relief, he clapped his hands, admired it for a while, raised his elbow and stuck it on Bai Liu's shoulder: "Not bad, right? I boiled this big bone soup for more than an hour, and I'm going to take it out Buy it, plus my craftsmanship, I have to buy a 168 pot, right?"

"The keel costs more than forty yuan a catty. This pot of soup is the most expensive thing in the house. If you hadn't brought someone here, I wouldn't have made such an expensive pot..."

Before Lu Yizhan finished speaking, Tang Erda held up the bottle of wine with a unit price of more than 60,000 yuan and looked up at Bai Liu next to Lu Yizhan: "Is there a corkscrew?"

Mu Ke took out a lobster with tongs that was about the size of his head from the freezer, turned his head and looked at Lu Yizhan apologetically: "I'm sorry that there are still some ingredients here, I can borrow the kitchen and ask my butler to help Do you want to deal with it?"

The smile on Lu Yizhan's face gradually froze: "..."

Lu Yizhan slowly retracted his hand on Bai Liu's shoulder, and moved away slightly numbly: "...the knife I have here may not be suitable for handling this lobster..."

Mu Ke smiled politely: "No, these lobsters are not expensive, just handle them casually."

As he said that, Mu Ke handed the lobster to the housekeeper. Lu Yizhan saw the label hanging on the tail of the lobster. There was a money symbol under the string of English words, followed by $ followed by five digits.

After obtaining Lu Yizhan's consent, Mu Ke called the four housekeepers in, and then turned to Lu Yizhan and said, "We will use the kitchen carefully, and it will not cause any damage."

Watching Mu Ke lead his team of chefs into the narrow kitchen of his home, Lu Yizhan's slack eyes revealed an indistinct sadness: "...don't be too careful."

That lobster is already more expensive than their three-square-meter kitchen.

Bai Liu casually grabbed a bottle opener from the refrigerator door and handed it to Tang Er, with the four words [Bravely Entering the End of the World] printed on it in faded colors, it looked like it was a gift from buying beer: "Can this be opened?"

"Yes." Tang Erda took it directly and was about to start it, but was stopped by the loud voice of Lu Yizhan next to him, "No!"

"That corkscrew has opened cans of stinky tofu and old godmother." Lu Yizhan looked at the label on the wine, trying to maintain his calm expression, "...I'll find you a new corkscrew."

After rummaging through boxes and cabinets for a long time, Lu Yizhan finally found a bottle opener that was not a gift, and handed it to Tang Erda with tears in his eyes: "Open it, this should be the most glorious moment in its life."

With a "bang", the wine bottle was opened, and the doorbell rang at the same time.

Bai Liu turned and went to open the door. At the door stood Liu Jiayi, who was wearing a small floral skirt, combed a pair of ponytails, princess shoes, white lace socks, and two pink bowknot clips, and was relatively silent.

"Your outfit today." Bai Liu commented tactfully, with a smile on his face, "It matches your age."

Liu Jiayi pulled down her skirt, straightened her tense expression, took a deep breath, and was about to mock Bai Liu when she heard Fang Dian's surprised voice: "Why is there a little girl?"

Liu Jiayi showed a sweet smile for a second, and opened her big gray eyes blankly: "Hi sister, I didn't bring anything with me for the first time as a guest. I bought candy downstairs and brought it up."

"Does sister eat candy?" Liu Jiayi handed over the pocket, blinking.

Fang Dian stared at Liu Jiayi for a long time, until Liu Jiayi almost became hairy, wondering if there was some flaw in his disguise.

Fang Dian fixed his eyes on Liu Jiayi, who was holding a small candy bag at the door, tilted his head to look at her, while holding Bai Liu's arm with both hands and twisting it, tried his best to control himself, and shouted in a low voice: "... She's so cute!!"

"Do you think her mother minds that she has an extra mother after she came out to eat?" Fang Dian's thoughts quickly diverged.

Bai Liu looked at Liu Jiayi who was so nervous that she breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on her face became thicker: "I think her mother should be very happy that there is a beautiful woman who likes her."

Fang Dian quickly turned around and entered the room: "Wait for me, I'm going to put on makeup! Five minutes!"

Just now so many young men came here as if they were looking at transparent people. They walked around the room wearing big slippers and disheveled hair, laughing so loudly that they could lift the roof off, sitting on the sofa with their legs crossed and looking at the Bailiu players one by one. At that time, a group of people stood in front of her like young men on a military parade.

"You are the young master of the Mu Clan! Wow! How did you and the poor bastard Bai Liu know each other?"

"Famous college students, yes, yes!"

"Wow, how did you train your muscles! Teach me!"

In short, I don't care about my personal image at all, and I don't think about wearing makeup.

At this moment, a little girl came, but Fang Dian's long-lost kindergarten teacher's professional ethics came to life. She rushed into the room and began to change clothes and make up.

Seeing Fang go away, Bai Liu squatted down and looked at Liu Jiayi, with a half-smile: "Xiang Chunhua told me that you hate wearing pink skirts, why did you come here in such a neat suit today?"

"I suddenly fell in love with it today." Liu Jiayi said angrily, "It's the first time to visit a friend's house, don't you know how to dress formally? It's not polite."

Bai Liu thoughtfully repeated Liu Jiayi's words in a drawn-out tone: "This is the first time you're visiting a friend's house, so you're so nervous?"

Liu Jiayi froze, but soon, Fang Dian, who rushed out of the room, eased the situation.

She squatted in front of Liu Jiayi with neat makeup, swept away her previous casual look, wearing a dress, wearing a polka-dot bowknot on her head, holding a doll in her hand, smiling, looking friendly and gentle, like an aunt Waving to Liu Jiayi, to lure her: "Little friend, come here, teacher, bah, no, my sister has a cute doll here, do you want to play with it?"

Liu Jiayi: "..."

She hesitated for a long time, but walked over cooperatively. Fang Dian hugged Liu Jiayi carefully and cherished, and touched Liu Jiayi's fluffy twin ponytails. The expression on her face looked like she was about to cry: "She Let people hug, so soft and cute."

Liu Jiayi sat stiffly on Fang Dian's knees, holding her skirt with her small hands, not daring to move.

Lu Yizhan saw Fang's point of view, and felt funny while intervening on the apron: "You play with so many children in the kindergarten every day, and you haven't hugged enough?"

"How can it be possible to hug casually." Fang Dian propped his chin and sighed, "It is not allowed to have physical contact with children. The kindergarten is equipped with monitoring, and it is connected to the parents' mobile phones in real time. was reported."

"Especially for girls, parents will be very careful. Even if they take the initiative to approach me, I can't get in touch with them too much."

"It's not my child after all."

Fang Dian seemed to finish this sentence casually, but she didn't react at all, and the movements of Bai Liu and Lu Yizhan next to her were all stunned.

She put Liu Jiayi down, arranged Liu Jiayi's skirt and hair, squatted down and looked at Liu Jiayi tenderly: "Now seeing a little girl who almost became my daughter, of course it feels different."

Lu Yizhan had discussed with Fang Dian about adopting Liu Jiayi before, and Fang Dian had also seen Liu Jiayi's photos, but Liu Jiayi did not choose them in the end.

Liu Jiayi also thought of this now, she pursed her lips tightly, as if she didn't know what to say.

... Lu Yizhan and Fang Dian are really good parents, so good that they would feel guilty for letting them down if they had no choice.

"Now it seems that our vision is really good." Fang Dian laughed, and she put her hand away from Liu Jiayi's sideburn hair, "You are such a cute little girl, no wonder we are not the only ones who want to be your relatives."

"But it's nice to be friends!"

Fang Dian was half-kneeling on the carpet, her eyes were at the same height as Liu Jiayi, she solemnly extended her palm to Liu Jiayi: "Hello, little friend Jiayi, my name is Fang Dian, I am 25 this year, may I ask if you have a new friend recently?" Is it the intention of a friend who forgets his age?"

Liu Jiayi was silent for a while, and the corners of her tightly pursed mouth began to turn up, two small dimples appeared on her face.

She raised her chin slightly, pretending to be arrogant to cooperate with Fang Dian's performance: "It didn't exist in the first place."

"I can make an exception for you." Liu Jiayi put her hand in Fang Dian's palm.

Fang Dian made an exaggerated look of being flattered. She laughed and hugged Liu Jiayi and put it beside the dining table: "I can't repay such a big exception, so I have to treat you to hot pot! Let's serve dinner!"

The clear wine was poured into the glass, and everyone except Liu Jiayi toasted to celebrate, but just halfway through the toast, the power went out.

Everyone: "..."

Du Sanying covered her mouth and choked up: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."

"It's okay." Lu Yizhan didn't take it seriously, "The circuit here is aging, and there are frequent power outages. I'll go get solid alcohol, and we'll take the pot to the balcony to eat."

Fang Dian let out a wow: "Isn't that a lobster candlelight dinner, so romantic!"

Bai Liu calmly poured cold water: "Romance is a matter between two people. We have seven people here besides Liu Jiayi. Even if there are two or two romantic groups, there is one more person."

"Okay, Bai Liu, it really turns into a society after you work, right?" Fang rolled up his sleeves, "How dare you talk back to me?"

Tang Erda was quickly led into the ditch by Bai Liu. He frowned and thought seriously about Bai Liu's [two-two-group] words: "Then who do I want to be in a group with? Bai Liu, why don't you and I..."

Holding a bowl and eating, Mu Sicheng retorted loudly: "No, Bai Liu will be with me!"

The lenses on Mu Ke's eyes flickered, but his tone of voice was gentle when he spoke: "Bai Liu, sit here and come, I'll get you lobster chips."

"..." Lu Yizhan had a big head and couldn't laugh or cry, "Okay, okay, stop making trouble, sit down quickly, I'll get the alcohol."

In the dark night, amidst the lights of thousands of homes, there was an unlucky family with a power outage, squatting on the balcony with bowls and chopsticks, having a simple and lively meal, and the price of hot pot was almost six figures.

Until many years later, when asked what was the best meal he had eaten in his life, Du Sanying still had a bad memory and would answer within a second——

——The hot pot meal that Bai Liu took to his friend's house for the first time during a power outage.

At ten o'clock in the evening, after taking a shower, Du Sanying lay at Bailiu's house and checked her phone.

Du Sanying just added a lot of people today, and now there are a lot of content in Moments, he looked carefully at each one, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

He swiped down, and found a circle of friends that Fang Dian had just posted. It was a hand-painted painting, which was the scene of them eating hot pot today.

Fang Dian clamped Bai Liu's head with a creaking nest, and stretched his chopsticks into his bowl to grab the vegetables. Lu Yizhan frantically stopped him, Mu Kela sideways, Mu Sicheng next to him was watching a good show and smirking, Tang Erda was drinking , Liu Jiayi hid in the corner and was actually taking pictures, while he was holding his wine glass blankly, blushing and smirking, apparently drunk.

Everyone is there, everyone is laughing.

Fang Dian's Moments for this painting is - "Family Portrait".
