When Li Moran and Li Qiulan arrived at Zhou Debiao's home, they didn't expect that his mother would prepare a large table of food for them, and his father even warmly welcomed them. Seeing the gifts in their hands, his father politely said, "Miss, we are already very happy that you guys are coming. Why are you still so formal? Why are you buying these things?" The mother chimed in, "That's right. Child, you're not allowed to do this kind of thing in the future."
Li Mo Lan and Li Qiu Lan put down their things, and Zhou De Biao's father brought them some water, telling them to wash up and eat. Looking at them, Zhou De Biao's parents could not help but praise, "I never thought that there would be such a beautiful girl in this world." Then, he whispered to his husband, "I wonder if our De Biao is blessed. If he can marry one of them, it would be considered as smoking from the grave of our ancestor."
Zhou Debiao didn't tell his parents about their situation, nor did he mention anything about the girls' missteps. He only said that they were his friends, and Li Moran had saved his life due to various coincidences during his mission.
The dishes on the table, besides the ones that Zhou Debiao's mother was most adept at, were also filled with meat dishes and simple dishes. Although there were only five people there, such a large display was a bit wasteful, but it also showed the hospitality of the host. The cutlery on the table was all Western style, the most conspicuous being a glass of red wine and five goblets. When the meal started, Zhou Debiao poured wine for Li Molan and Li Qiulan.
"I'll tell you both, do you know? "This bottle of red wine has been stored in my dad's family for many years and I haven't had the heart to drink it, but it's the real deal in the vineyard. Today, you must give my dad some face and drink more."
When it came to drinking red wine, Li Molin actually drank a lot; not to mention red wine, she even drank beer and white wine. When it came to drinking red wine, Li Molan actually drank a lot of red wine, not to mention red wine, she even drank beer and white wine.
She quickly blocked Zhou Debiao, smiled and blinked her eyes, "Let me do it."
She adeptly accepted the bottle and poured more than half a glass for each of Zhou's parents. This wine was also well-ordered, too little, and seemed insincere, but it was too full, and too loose, and a little more than half a cup was just fine. Then she poured Zhou Debiao a cup as well, and then she poured less than half a cup for Li Moran and herself.
Zhou Debiao's parents hurriedly urged him to drink, especially with his father. Seeing that the two girls were very cautious, he said, "Miss, both of you fill up your cups. This wine's not strong enough, so it's fine to drink more."
Li Molan refused, "Uncle, Auntie, we never drink when we go out. Today, we know that it's difficult for you two elders to refuse our love, so this is already an exception."
His parents did not force him, so Zhou Debiao brought him a large bag of yogurt and pure milk, along with a few bottles of beverages, which he placed on the table. Li Mo Lan and Li Qiu Lan raised their wine cups, and Li Mo Lan said, "Uncle and Auntie, today we sisters will make use of the opportunity to present to you and your elders through your family's wine!" Zhou Debiao's parents also quickly raised their glasses and said, "The ones who should be toasting are us. Thank you for saving our lives."
After drinking the wine, they began eating. From time to time, Zhou Debiao's parents would give Li Moran and Li Qiulan food, telling them to eat well.
To be honest, Zhou Dehui did not lie to them. Her mother's culinary skills were exceptional, and they had never tasted such delicious food before. They almost lost their composure.
Zhou Debiao's mother introduced the dishes as she picked them. Among them, the mother said, "This dish is the pickled pepper field chicken. Although it is not the original of our cuisine department, but the one I made is different from the others!"
Li Molan looked at the plate of peppers on the field chicken and asked while eating, "Auntie, why is the meat of this field chicken so delicate? How did you make it? Teach me? "This meat looks very complete. You must have cut the chicken drumstick into many thin strands!"
Li Qiulan could tell that this was the first time Li Molan had eaten a field chicken with pickled peppers and treated the field chicken as if it was a chicken. Actually, the field chicken was not a chicken, but a frog.
Zhou Debiao's parents both laughed, and Li Molin thought that she had lost her composure and was feeling a bit awkward. Before Li Qiulan could open her mouth, Zhou Debiao explained enthusiastically, "Moran, this field chicken is a frog. The frog in the river and the chicken are two completely different concepts."
Li Molan was originally enjoying her meal, but after hearing Zhou Debiao's words, she almost vomited. She covered her mouth to ask where the washroom was, and Zhou Debiao quickly brought her there.
Zhou Debiao's parents didn't know what was going on. Li Qiulan explained, "Uncle, Auntie, I'm really sorry. This is the first time our Mo Lan has eaten a field chicken with pickled peppers. We might not be used to it. You two elders don't need to take it to heart."
At this moment, his mother started to blame herself. "It's all my fault. I forgot to explain to De Biao, letting him ask you what you guys like to eat and what you don't like to eat. It's all my fault …"
After a while, Li Moran came out of the bathroom, and she almost vomited her stomach acid. She had never thought that frogs could also go to the dining table, or perhaps she had never seen the world before, but she had never dared to imagine that someone could eat silkworm pupae, scorpions, or wasps. This was already considered to be the pinnacle of eating frogs.
By the time Li Moran returned to catch up, Zhou Debiao's parents had already removed the pickled peppers and field chicken dish from the kitchen. Obviously, Li Moran was not used to this, and from beginning to end, Li Qiulan also rarely ate this dish.
Zhou Debiao's parents were also somewhat apologetic, but they still continued to pick up dishes for Li Moran. Li Moran simply didn't have any appetite at the moment and hurriedly said that he had finished eating. Zhou Debiao then poured a cup of yogurt for both her and Li Qiulan.
At this time, Zhou Debiao's mother asked them about their situation, "I heard from Debiao that you two are friends. If you don't mind, can you tell me how old you two are? What was their occupation? Where are you from? "
Li Mo Lan glanced at Li Qiu Lan, and Zhou De Biao quickly interjected, "Mom, why are you asking this? Girls abstain from talking about their age. When you become familiar with it in the future, you will naturally know."
His mother stopped asking and said, "De Biao, you're not an old man anymore. You can't be single forever, can you? These two girls are like fairies that have descended to the mortal realm. You have to work hard!"
Zhou Debiao embarrassedly said, "Mom, what did you say?!"
After the meal, Zhou Debiao's parents went to clean up. Li Mo Lan and Li Qiu Lan wanted to help, but were stopped by Zhou De Biao's parents. His father instructed Zhou De Biao to accompany them and have a good chat.
Li Moran looked around and said, "I say, Comrade Zhou, your house is really extravagant. I've only seen so many pieces of furniture on TV, and the decorations are also quite unique."
Zhou Debiao scratched his head, "Sigh, it's actually not that bad either. But regardless of good or bad, this is all thanks to my parents. I have to rely on myself. I'm not an old clansman."
