Chapter 309: 104: Defeating Li Xianxian, Gaining Little Fangirls_6

First, heat up the rapeseed oil, then add in the broad-bean sauce to bring out the reddish oil, followed by a fragrant blend of green onion, ginger, garlic, star anise, cinnamon bark, and sichuan pepper.

Soon, the kitchen was filled with a tantalizing aroma.

Once the base sauce was ready, add water and bring it to a boil. Add the marinated meat slices, then place the pre-boiled bean sprouts and tofu skin in a large bowl and ladle in the boiled meat slices.

The meat slices should not be boiled for too long, otherwise they will become stiff and tough, which will affect the texture.

Then, sprinkle roasted sesame seeds, green onions, cilantro, and sichuan pepper on top of the meat slices. Finally, pour the heated rapeseed oil over it. With a sizzling sound, a large bowl of appetizing boiled meat slices was ready.

Ni Yang could control the heat perfectly, so the texture of the boiled meat slices was superb. It had a spicy, fresh scent, and was incredibly tender. It was so good that one could hardly stop eating.

With a piece of boiled meat slices, one could eat several mouthfuls of rice!

“Delicious, it’s so delicious!” Ni Chenggui excitedly said, “Yangyang, what is this dish called?”

Ni Yang replied with a smile, “This is called Boiled Meat Slices.”

“Boiled Meat Slices? Where does this dish come from?” Ni Chenggui asked.

Ni Yang replied, “This is a dish from Sichuan and Chongqing. I saw it in a food recipe.”

Ni Chenggui nodded, “Yangyang, you are amazing!”

After dinner, Ni Yang told Ni Cuihua that she was going to be out of town the next day.

Ni Cuihua expressed her concerns, “Yangyang, is it safe for a girl like you to travel that far?”

Ni Chenggui said, “Yangyang, if you like, I can go with you. The shop will be fine with Jin, she has two others to help her. I heard that Guangguan can be quite chaotic.”

Guangguan is near R Country, where it has always been rather turbulent, with a mix of different types of people and plenty of hooligans.

Ni Yang smiled and said, “Don’t worry. We are living in a society governed by law now, and besides, I am not alone. Brother Mo is coming with me.”

Upon hearing that Mo Qishen would be accompanying her, Ni Cuihua and Ni Chenggui were immediately relieved.

“When will you be back then?” Ni Cuihua asked.

Ni Yang answered, “It takes two days to travel from Beijing to Guangguan by train, and I’ll need some time to run errands. All in all, it’ll take about a week to return.”

Knowing that Ni Yang had important things to do, Ni Cuihua did not say more, and simply nodded, “Alright, Yangyang, you can go without worries. Your Auntie Ni and I will take care of the home. Don’t stay up late tonight, rest early. You’ll need to get up early tomorrow.”

The next morning, Ni Yang woke up at a little past five.

By 7:30, when she arrived at the train station, she saw that Mo Qishen was already waiting for her on the platform with his suitcase.

“Brother Mo.”

Mo Qishen raised his eyes and saw the girl running towards him.

“Yangyang, no need to run, we still have plenty of time.” Mo Qishen extended his hand to steady Ni Yang’s arm.

“Shall we go into the station?”

“Yes.” Mo Qishen nodded and reached out to take her suitcase.

The two of them walked side by side to the sleeper car.

A sleeper car compartment had four beds. When Mo Qishen and Ni Yang entered, the two upper bunks were still unoccupied.

Ni Yang stowed her suitcase under the bed, then took out some money from her bag, “Brother Mo, here’s the money for the train ticket.”

Mo Qishen was about to refuse. After all, what’s wrong with buying a train ticket for his future wife? All his money would be hers in the future anyway! But then Ni Yang continued, “Brother Mo, if you don’t accept it, I won’t travel with you next time.”

Inherently, Ni Yang was never one to depend on men.

Though it was true that she had feelings for Mo Qishen.

Never did she have the thought of relying on him.

Upon hearing her words, Mo Qishen had no choice but to accept.

Even though it was time for the train to depart, the two people who were supposed to occupy the upper bunks had not arrived.

But Ni Yang didn’t think much of it, maybe those two berths simply were not sold.

After all, sleeper tickets were quite expensive.

It was quite warm inside the car, and Ni Yang removed her jacket, revealing a loose-fitting white knitted sweater underneath. Despite the oversized fit, it couldn’t hide her curvaceous figure, particularly when she bent over to adjust the blankets.

Mo Qishen uncomfortably averted his gaze, his ears turning slightly red, and silently pulled the blanket over himself.

“Brother Mo, do you want to eat something?” Ni Yang offered him a bag of sunflower seeds.

Mo Qishen cleared his throat with a light cough, “No.”

Ni Yang then handed over a cup of milk tea, “Then have a cup of milk tea, your throat sounds a bit uncomfortable.”

The tips of Mo Qishen’s ears went red again for an instant. He reached out to take the milk tea, “Thank you.”

Ni Yang chuckled lightly, “Brother Mo, when did you start being so polite to me?”

Mo Qishen stopped talking, put the straw in, and began to drink the milk tea.

The cool milk tea soothed his throat, seemingly easing the heat in his heart.

With Mo Qishen’s company, the train journey was not boring at all. They chatted all the way until the afternoon when Ni Yang, leaning against the wall, yawned lazily, “I’m feeling a bit sleepy, Brother Mo, are you tired?”

Her eyes were sparkling with a soft glint of water, making Mo Qishen’s heart skip a beat.

“I’m alright,” Mo Qishen’s voice was low, “You go ahead and sleep.”

Ni Yang crawled under the blanket, “I’ll take a nap then.”

Before long, even breaths could be heard from under the blanket.

When Ni Yang fell asleep, she also pulled her head under the blanket.

Mo Qishen had once read a psychology book.

The book stated that those who liked to sleep this way often lacked a sense of security.

Mo Qishen pulled back the blanket and walked over to Ni Yang. He gently pulled back her blanket, revealing a face with exquisite features. Pretty girls, even their sleeping expressions are beautiful.

Mo Qishen gazed at her attentively, reached out, and touched the thick eyelashes that looked like a fan, “Yangyang, can I give you a sense of security from now on?”

Ni Yang, who was in deep sleep, seemed to sense something, and rubbed her eyes.

Mo Qishen was startled and quickly jumped back onto the upper bunk. Seeing that Ni Yang didn’t make any further movement, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He truly liked her a lot. Just being with her, even if they did nothing, made his heart sweet as honey.

Ni Yang slept until a little past 5 in the evening, when she woke up, Mo Qishen had bought some box meals back, “Yangyang, now that you’re awake, we can have dinner.”

“Mhm.” Ni Yang nodded, “I’ll go wash my face first.”

It was nearing evening, and the lights in the train’s aisles were dim.

When Ni Yang arrived at the lavatory, she bumped into a little girl. The girl’s father, who was following behind, immediately apologized, “I’m sorry, comrade! Meimei, quickly apologize to your sister.”
