Eating melons

Chapter 604 Satisfaction

Ning Lanzhen still used some strength this time, and Jiang Qi's hands were a little numb from the slapping.

Ning Lanzhen was now really angry at Jiang Qi for not fighting back.

Li Zhibin is good to her, but she can't be too careless.

To be honest, based on the brief contact today, Ning Lanzhen still has a very good impression of Li Zhibin.

Ning Lanzhen has come into contact with many different kinds of people over the years. From Li Zhibin's temperament, it can be seen that his family background is indeed very good. That confident temperament is different at first glance.

In addition, he has a military uprightness, which may have been influenced by his family.

Li Zhibin's concern for Jiang Qi today was genuine, and it was not because Li Zhibin went to pick her up and treat her to dinner today.

It can be seen from many small details, like on the way back today, although she and Jiang Qi rode one bicycle, Li Zhibin rode another bicycle by himself.

But all the way, Li Zhibin followed them closely, as if protecting them and preventing them from getting hurt.

Also, when we were having dinner today, the table was full of Jiang Qi's favorite foods. There was no food that Jiang Qi and she disliked.

It's obvious that she put a lot of thought and effort into this. Li Zhibin must have asked her about her preferences a long time ago.

It is the little details like these that can best reveal a person's character and personality.

Jiang Qi was unhappy when he heard this. "How can I be lazy? I don't always have to wait for food. I also do my work well and I do it often."

She just didn't cook during this period and in the morning. She and Wei Wei cooked lunch and dinner.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhibin made her suffer such a big blow just for doing it once.

Ning Lanzhen pushed her lazy daughter and said, "Come on, let's go and help. Don't let Xiao Li do it all by himself. There are so many people to cook for."

Ning Lanzhen felt that it was too bad to leave Li Zhibin alone there to cook while she and her daughter were playing and chatting.

Of course, the most important thing is that Ning Lanzhen is worried that Li Zhibin’s cooking will not taste good.

How could men like them eat, let alone someone like Li Zhibin, who was obviously well-educated at home. She didn't think that such a person could cook.

Even if I can cook, the food I make should only taste this good.

So Ning Lanzhen thought it would be better to keep an eye on it so as not to waste such good things.

As for why Ning Lanzhen felt that there was something good here.

That's because Ning Lanzhen felt that given Li Zhibin's personality, since he was going to cook, it must be something good.

As soon as she arrived at Li Zhibin's house and saw the big pot of chicken, Ning Lanzhen didn't know what to say.

There was not only a large pot of chicken, but also a small pot of large bones and a large bowl of chopped pork. All of them were bought in the county town when I just came back.

When she saw Li Zhibin buying so many things, she thought he was buying them for someone else.

Although she didn't understand many things, she knew that bicycles were very precious in the countryside.

The village is so far away from the county town, so Li Zhibin must help people carry things on this trip.

So when she saw Li Zhibin buying so much and Jiang Qi didn't stop him, she thought Li Zhibin was buying it for someone else.

But now it seems that those things are for me to eat, after all, all the meat I just bought is on the chopping board.

Ning Lanzhen looked at Li Zhibin in disbelief, "Are these all for tonight's meal?"

Li Zhibin heard the voice and looked back, seeing Jiang Qi and Ning Lanzhen, he quickly said:

"Auntie, why are you here?"

Ning Lanzhen smiled and said, "Xiao Qi said you guys are eating together, so we came to help."

Hearing this, Li Zhibin hurriedly said, "Auntie, you guys just go and have a rest, there's no need here, I can handle it by myself.

You see, I have it all sorted out, I just need to do it."

Ning Lanzhen waved her hand. "It's okay. I'm free anyway. We can chat here together. It won't be so boring."

Ning Lanzhen looked at the things on the chopping board curiously. "Is this all we're going to make tonight?"

Li Zhibin nodded, "Yes."

Li Zhibin didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and Jiang Qi was the same. Ning Lanzhen came all the way here, so she must have something good to eat.

But because the timing was not right, this welcoming banquet was not as lively as their usual gatherings.

Hearing this, Ning Lanzhen didn't know what to say. This was too extravagant. Or rather, it couldn't be said to be extravagant, it could only be said to be too luxurious.

Just ask which family can eat so much meat, a four or five pound hen, almost four or five pounds of large bones, and two or three pounds of meat. This is just the meat dish, not including the vegetables next to it.

There were only five of them, and they ate seven or eight pounds of meat, four or five pounds of bones, and so many vegetables. They really wouldn't dare to eat like this during the Chinese New Year.

Even if your family is well off, you would only dare to eat like this during festivals.

And we eat like this during festivals because there are many people in the family.

There were only five of them, and it wasn't a festival or New Year's Day, but they were eating so lavishly that she felt a little embarrassed, and she also felt a little psychologically burdened.

The reason why this meal was so sumptuous was, let alone 100%, there was a 90% chance that it was because of her coming.

Li Zhibin wanted to treat her, and Ning Lanzhen felt a little embarrassed to let Li Zhibin spend so much money.

Besides, Li Zhibin also paid for lunch. The food there tasted good, but the price was indeed expensive. They also ordered quite a few dishes, so Li Zhibin had already spent a lot of money at noon.

"Can we finish all these dishes? The weather isn't that cool, it's still quite hot. If we leave it until tomorrow, it won't taste as good anymore and might even go bad. It's better to make less."

"It's okay, if it's going to go bad, it will go bad even if you don't do it.

And we won't be eating these big bones tonight. We'll just have some soup tonight. These big bones are mainly for tomorrow morning's soup. Tonight, we'll just have two pieces of meat."

After hearing Li Zhibin's "that's it", he looked at the meat on the chopping board.

Ning Lanzhen suddenly found that she seemed to not quite know how to write the word "也".

Seeing this, Ning Lanzhen didn't know what to say. After all, they were all bought with Li's money. He could spend his money however he wanted, and he didn't lack that little money.

Jiang Qi saw what Ning Lanzhen was thinking and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mom! In fact, even if you don't come, we usually eat like this, but the portion is not as large.

But it's just a little less. For example, let's not say that we eat chicken every few days, but at least once or twice a month.

Didn’t I tell you before that our brigade has a breeding farm? The chickens, ducks and geese raised by the brigade during this period are not particularly big.

After a while, when they grow up, it will be fine for us to eat one a day. Except for the ones with holes in their eyes, there will be no problem with the others.

If you come next time, please remember to wait until the chickens, ducks and geese are almost grown up.

So don't worry, just eat peacefully and don't think too much."

Ning Lanzhen didn't say anything after hearing this. Since she was told to just eat it, then she would just eat it. At worst, she could just give Jiang Qi more money later.

Originally, Ning Lanzhen wanted to come over and help out.

But there was no place for her to interfere. If she was asked to light a fire, he wouldn't know how to use the wood stove.

As for helping out, with Jiang Qi around, she had no chance to interfere at all.

Not to mention that Li Zhibin had already prepared all the dishes and didn't need her help at all.

However, seeing how well the two of them cooperated with each other and Li Zhibin's skillful cooking skills, Ning Lanzhen was really surprised. It was obvious that Li Zhibin had cooked a lot.

It seems that Li Zhibin not only can cook, but also cooks very well.

To be honest, she thought that Li Zhibin was a playboy who had never done any womanizing, after all, her daughter was like that.

But after coming here, I actually learned how to cook and I’m very good at it.

God knows how surprised Ning Lanzhen was when she found out that her daughter had learned to cook. She thought her daughter was being wronged and suffering here.

But looking at her like this now, it seems that it is not what she thought.

It was really as Jiang Qi wanted to say. She said she liked cooking just because it was her pleasure, not to comfort her.
