Chapter 62 Everyone has the love of beauty

There is hardly any water in the downstream area now, so they won’t be able to catch any fish even if they go there. What if something unexpected happens while fishing in the middle and upper reaches?
Hua Xiali used the several kilograms of fish head to make pickled fish head soup; the fish meat was used to make boiled spicy fish fillets, pickled fish fillets, and braised fish chunks; the offal was used to make a separate fish hotpot.

Thinking that Huo Beixi couldn't eat spicy food, he put the pickled fish fillet into the Lingquan space, and then put the other fish on the dining table at his third uncle's house. In the evening, he also called his fourth uncle's family over, and the three families sat together for a fish feast.

After all, it’s a big fish weighing dozens of kilograms, with so much meat. It’s a hot summer now. Wouldn’t it be a pity if it couldn’t be eaten and let go?
In the evening, everyone sat in the open space in front of the door to enjoy the cool air. Hua's father, who was able to sit up, was in a much better mood. He was chatting with his third uncle and fourth uncle about hiring someone to harvest the rice in the field.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Hua Xiali quietly came to the backyard. After going out through the small door, he took out the pickled fish fillets he had collected earlier from the Lingquan space, and then walked towards Huo Beixi's house.

Arriving outside Huo Beixi's house, Hua Xiali reached out and knocked gently on the door. Huo Beixi soon came over to open the door. Hua Xiali handed over the pickled fish fillet in his hand and said, "You are lucky today. I caught a big fish in the river. I will make pickled fish fillet soup tonight and leave a plate for you."

"Thank you." Huo Beixi took it with a slight smile on his lips. "I'm making dumplings right now. Do you want to come over and have some?"

"Okay!" Thinking that he had something to ask Huo Beixi, Hua Xiali accepted his invitation directly.

Huo Beixi closed and locked the courtyard door, then walked to the kitchen with the pickled vegetable and fish fillet soup. Hua Xiali followed him to the kitchen and saw the dough and dumpling fillings on the table. He really admired Huo Beixi.

"I didn't expect that you still have the leisure to make dumplings in such a hot day." Hua Xiali pulled out a bench and sat down, looking at Huo Beixi with his hands on his chin.

"There's a saying that food is the primary need of the people. After a hard day's work, it's not too much to make something delicious to reward yourself, right?" Huo Beixi placed the pickled vegetables and fish fillets on the stove, raised his hands, took off his large vest, and started to roll out the dough.

Hua Xiali turned his head away embarrassedly, then glanced at Huo Beixi out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that Huo Beixi didn't feel uncomfortable at all, Hua Xiali had nothing to be embarrassed about, so he cast his eyes openly on Huo Beixi's strong and tight waist and abdomen. The healthy wheat-colored skin and the smooth muscle lines made Hua Xiali a little infatuated, and he couldn't wait to get his hands on him.

However, she suppressed her inner impulse. She knew her own weight and knew that such a man was not something a country girl like her could dream of.

But there's nothing wrong with her taking a look, appreciating it, and satisfying her eyes, right?

After all, when people meet handsome men and beautiful women outside, they will take a few more glances. This is not a big problem. Everyone loves beauty!
Seeing a fan nearby, Hua Xiali stood up and took it. While fanning himself, he slightly moved his hand away so that Huo Beixi on the opposite side could also feel the breeze and feel cooler.

As for helping him make dumplings, forget it. Men should not be treated harshly, especially if he is not your man. Even if he is your man, you should not spoil him. The more you treat him, the more lawless he will become and the more he will demand his dues.

Huo Beixi didn't have to knead too much dough, so it didn't take him long to wrap the dumplings. There were about thirty or forty of them, and he didn't know if he could finish them. Now Hua Xiali gave him a plate of pickled fish, and it would be a waste if he couldn't finish it.

Seeing that the dumplings in the pot were cooked, Huo Beixi quickly served the dumplings to two bowls. He then divided the pickled vegetables and fish fillets into the two bowls of dumplings and placed one of the bowls in front of Hua Xiali.

Looking at the full bowl of dumplings, Hua Xiali widened his eyes in surprise, "Isn't this too much? I can't finish it." "My bowl can't hold any more, it's okay, you eat first, and we'll tell you if you can't finish it." Huo Beixi handed the chopsticks to Hua Xiali, then sat down and started eating dumplings. The first thing he ate with chopsticks was the fish fillet, which was white and tender, fresh, fragrant and smooth, with the salty flavor of pickles, which was both appetizing and delicious.

The first thing Hua Xiali ate was dumplings. The dumplings made by Huo Beixi were big and round, with rich fillings. There was not only meat but also something crispy and tender. However, Hua Xiali couldn't tell what it was.

"Huo Beixi, what is that crispy and tender thing in the dumpling filling?" Hua Xiali asked curiously.

"Dice of lotus root." Huo Beixi looked at Hua Xiali, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

Hua Xiali nodded repeatedly, "It's delicious. The dumpling filling doesn't taste greasy like pork, and the filling isn't so rigid."

I didn't expect that he is not only handsome and has a good figure, but also a good cook!
It was a hot summer day, and the temperature was very high at night. After eating the hot dumplings, Hua Xiali felt her whole body warming up. She felt that hot sweat was flowing out of every cell in her body, which was itchy and a little uncomfortable. Her clothes stuck tightly to her back, and the sweat on her neck slowly disappeared into the collar.

Hua Xiali had a fish feast at her uncle's house that night and was very full. In addition, Huo Beixi's dumplings were really big, so she couldn't eat any more after three dumplings.

However, she always stayed away from her bowl when she ate the dumplings, so the dumpling soup did not drip into her bowl. The dumplings in her bowl were still clean. If Huo Beixi was not full, he could still eat the remaining dumplings she had.

Hua Xiali put the chopsticks on the table and looked at Huo Beixi, "I can't eat anymore."

Huo Beixi pulled the bowl over and placed it next to him.

Hua Xiali hesitated for a moment before looking at Huo Beixi and gently called out, "Huo Beixi."

"Hmm?" Huo Beixi looked up at Hua Xiali and raised his eyebrows in confusion.

Hua Xiali took down the canvas bag that he had been carrying on his shoulder and handed it to Huo Beixi, "Huo Beixi, I have to go out tomorrow. Can you please keep the things in here for me? If I come back, I will ask you for them. If I come back late, please help me deliver these things to my home."

"Where are you going?" Huo Beixi raised his narrow eyes and looked at her steadily. The deep look in his eyes made Hua Xiali inexplicably reluctant to let her go.

"I'm going out of town." Hua Xiali's cheeks became hot as he was stared at.

She definitely couldn't tell Huo Beixi where she was going or what she was going to do. Otherwise, what would she do if he asked her to take the villagers with her?
She has a Lingquan Space. When she goes to purchase goods, she can put them into the space and bring them back. But if someone else goes with her, how will she bring back so many goods?
