Chapter 434 Two Cups of Green Tea (asking for monthly ticket)

A hint of sourness flashed through Lu Qiyan's heart.

But when she thought that An Yunji was Xia Mingyue's younger brother and they hadn't seen each other for many years, she couldn't help but feel a little more distressed.

What's more, he is your brother-in-law, so he should be more generous!
Lu Qiyan comforted himself and nodded, agreeing with An Yunji's statement.

"That's good." Xia Mingyue smiled with her eyes curved.

There is nothing more joyful than a family being harmonious and close.

After pouring the pear tea, Xia Mingyue was busy getting fruit for the two people to eat.

Dried apples, canned peaches, canned pears, and the egg rolls she made these past two days.

Beat eggs, sugar, flour, vegetable oil and black sesame seeds into a batter, pour it into a frying pan and fry it into a thin pancake. When it is cooked through, quickly roll it into a tube while it is still hot and has not yet taken shape. Wait for it to cool and take shape.

The egg roll that has been completely cooled and set is extremely crispy when you bite it, with tiny crumbs filling your mouth. The crispy and fragrant taste permeates every part of your mouth. Chew it a few more times and swallow it completely. The rich and fragrant taste lingers and becomes even stronger.

"Delicious!" An Yunji's eyes lit up as he ate. After finishing the egg roll in his hand in a few bites, he simply took one in each hand and prepared to devour it.

"Eat slowly, no one will snatch it from you." Xia Mingyue filled the egg rolls on the plate, took some millet rice crusts and smiled.

Compared to An Yunji's rough eating style, Lu Qiyan ate much more politely, taking small bites and taking a sip of pear tea from time to time.

An Yunji glanced at Lu Qiyan and asked, "Brother-in-law, do you not like the egg rolls that my sister made?"

Lu Qiyan, "…Why do you say that?"

"I saw you were eating slowly, unlike me who eats voraciously. I thought you didn't like the food I made."

An Yunji narrowed his eyes and said, "But maybe I guessed wrong. There are not many people in this world who have the same poor eating manners as me."

Then he looked at Xia Mingyue, "Sister, don't worry about the relationship between me and my brother-in-law. We got along very well in the army. It's just that on the way back, I asked my brother-in-law something, but he didn't answer."

"But sister, don't blame your brother-in-law. It's inevitable that people have some things that they can't talk about, even your brother-in-law is no exception, right, brother-in-law."

Lu Qiyan, "..."

Although each of these sentences is true, why do they sound so awkward when heard together?
And there is no way to explain it, and I can't even continue the conversation!

Seeing this, Xia Mingyue smiled and said, "Don't tease your brother-in-law. He has a wooden temper. I'm afraid he won't know what to do if you tease him like this."

"Okay, I knew that my sister favors my brother-in-law." An Yunji curled his lips.

But he secretly curled his lips towards Lu Qiyan.

He said that his sister was deceived by Lu Qiyan.

A man who looks like an old fox is actually a wooden man in my sister's heart. Is it too good to pretend?
tsk...

Lu Qiyan touched his nose, ate the egg roll in his hand, wiped his hands, and took out two things from his arms.

It was also a purse, and as usual he handed in his monthly military pay.

The other thing is a hairpin made of ox bone.

"This is the yak bone I got recently. I heard that yak bones can ward off evil spirits and ensure safety, so I took some time out of my busy schedule to grind the yak bones into a hairpin. Madam, do you like it?"

As Lu Qiyan spoke, he pulled Xia Mingyue to the dressing table in the inner room and personally pinned the yak bone hairpin in his hand on her bun.

Xia Mingyue's hair was naturally black, and the off-white yak bone hairpin was polished to be round and smooth, with a jade texture, which made Xia Mingyue look even more gentle and demure. "It looks good." Xia Mingyue looked at it through the bronze mirror for a moment, smiling like a flower, "Thank you, husband."

"You're welcome, madam." Lu Qiyan also smiled knowingly.

An Yunji, who was sitting outside, ate two egg rolls in one breath, but still felt unsatisfied, so he simply took a few slices of dried apple and stuffed them into his mouth.

Chewing with gnashing teeth.

Showing affection, huh!

Lu Qiyan came out of the inner room holding Xia Mingyue's shoulders. Seeing An Yunji showing off snacks, Lu Qiyan raised his eyebrows and said, "Yunji, take a look. Does your sister look good wearing this yak bone hairpin?"

"It looks good." An Yunji replied.

This was said with great sincerity.

But it’s not because I think this yak bone hairpin is pretty, but because my sister is born beautiful and dignified, and she looks good no matter how she dresses!

"Is that so?" Lu Qiyan raised his chin and narrowed his eyes. "Did Yunji bring anything back for your sister this time?"

An Yunji, "..."

Not really!

He had been in the military camp all the time, and even though he had the intention, there was no place to get the right things, so this time when he came back, he only brought back all the military pay he had received after joining the army, intending to give it to his sister.

But now, with the military pay that Lu Qiyan gave to his sister and the yak bone hairpin that he polished himself, even if he took out more silver, it would seem pale in comparison.

It would also make people think that because Lu Qiyan took out the military pay and hairpins, he was embarrassed and had to take out some silver.

So angry!

My brother-in-law is so annoying!

However, this is not the end. When he saw An Yunji's face was not looking good, Lu Qiyan continued to say faintly, "It's okay. Yunji is still young. It's normal for him to not expect these things. Madam, don't take it to heart."

An Yunji, "..."

What a nice cup of green tea!
An Yunji looked at Lu Qiyan with eyes full of resentment.

Lu Qiyan disagreed and looked back openly.

Mutual with you. Thanks for giving in!

Xia Mingyue naturally noticed the tit-for-tat between the two people at this moment. She looked at one, then looked at the other, and sighed in her heart.

Judging from the situation, she needs to become a master of keeping balance as soon as possible!

In the evening, Xia Mingyue went to the kitchen to cook a few side dishes because of the return of Lu Qiyan and An Yunji.

Sweet and sour tofu, the tender tofu is soaked in salt water and then coated with starch and fried in a pan until the skin is crispy, then cooked with sweet and sour sauce. It tastes sweet and sour and is delicious. The tofu is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, smooth and refreshing, and very appetizing.

Stir-fried pork liver, wash the liver and cut it into thin slices, soak it thoroughly to rinse off the blood, then mix it with starch, salt, rice wine, ginger, garlic, etc., blanch it in boiling water to remove the blood foam, cook the garlic sprouts and chili peppers until fragrant, then stir-fry in the pan, season with a little soy sauce and sugar, then pour in a little rice wine to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor, drizzle with water starch and simmer over high heat until the sauce is reduced before serving.

The pork liver is extremely fresh, and the heat during blanching and stir-frying is perfectly controlled. The fried pork liver is tender and delicious, without any fishy smell. Because it is fried with chili peppers, it is spicy and delicious, and goes well with rice.

Dongpo pork elbow, the whole pork elbow is roasted over high heat and stewed over low heat until the skin of the elbow is soft and the meat is tender, melting in your mouth...
