Chapter 750: Good Make-up 1
When Wang Lei gently opened the lid of the quaint wooden barrel beside him, a rich and mellow aroma of rice instantly hit his nose and went straight to his head.
"Wow, this rice is so fragrant!" He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, with a huge smile on his face.
Then, a somewhat overbearing smell penetrated the smell of the sumptuous food on the table and stubbornly reached everyone's nose.
"Wow, boss, this rice is really good!" Zhang Zhihao was the first to give a thumbs up, his face full of admiration. Although he did not say it directly, what he wanted to express was self-evident.
Everyone present, except Jiang Momo, who was lowering his head and carefully cleaning his hands, understood what he meant.
The boss spent money again today, and they got a good meal again. As expected, if you follow the boss, you can eat meat.
Lu Xi remained calm and didn't react much to Zhang Zhihao's words. She nodded slightly and said softly, "Well, it's really a good find. Let's all try it together. Lei Zi, help everyone serve some. Thank you for your hard work."
Cang Wuya said that he still had a lot of this kind of spiritual rice in his space, and he also divided out a small area in Long Ruilin's space and planted some edible plants, so he didn't have to worry about running out of rice.
"Okay, okay, I'll be right there." Wang Lei took action immediately after hearing that. He picked up a wooden spoon and skillfully stirred the rice in the wooden barrel to break up the rice that had clumped together.
Then he filled the two bowls that Lu Xi had just pushed over to him.
They all came to the fore.
Lu Xi appreciated his advice and said softly, "Thank you."
Ever since she started practicing martial arts, her appetite has gradually increased. So a big bowl of rice is a normal amount for her and it is still not enough.
Seeing this, the other people also handed over their bowls, and the scene suddenly became lively.
Lu Xi was the first to pick up the chopsticks and picked up a dish of Jiang Momo's favorite sweet and sour pork ribs, and the meal officially began.
Although she was not going to talk about any rules, it was impossible for everyone present not to follow the rules, so they had to wait until she moved before they started moving.
The dumplings that were originally placed in front of Lu Xi and could serve as a staple food actually looked like a dish against the backdrop of the rice in the bowl.
Lu Xi didn’t have any special preference for pairing staple foods with other foods, but out of concern, she still picked one up and gently placed it on the empty plate in front of Jiang Momo.
The dumplings were white and plump before being cooked. After being rinsed with cold water, they shrank a bit, but still looked good.
Seeing this, Jiang Momo waved his hand embarrassedly and said, "Sister Lu Xi, I can do it myself, there's no need to be so troublesome."
She already felt embarrassed to eat for free every time she came, and now that the host took such good care of her, she felt even more embarrassed.
Surviving in the apocalypse, Jiang Momo has also witnessed the highs and lows of human nature, but when it comes to the ways of the world, she is still the same as before and doesn't know how to deal with it.
Lu Xi smiled at the little girl who was a little shy again and said, "It's okay, eat it, you're welcome."
Compared to last time, the little girl is thinner and the skin on her face is darker. She needs some nourishment.
The atmosphere was quite lively with a table of people eating, but they also ate very quickly.
In just half an hour, the plates on the table were empty, with only some leftovers left on the table.
Even the broth from the braised pork was not wasted.
Zhang Zhihao deliberately scooped the soup into the bowl, mixed it with rice, and ate it in big mouthfuls, calling it "determined not to waste a single bit."
Everyone in the group was very satisfied with the meal and praised the food on the table. Although it was just ordinary home-cooked meals, the texture and taste were excellent.
However, despite being full of curiosity, these people did not ask Lu Xi where she bought these dishes.
Even if we ask clearly, they can't go out and buy it. It's good enough if they can eat and drink for free occasionally.
When all the dishes on the table were cleared away, Rong Yu came down with a large pot of brewed digestive tea and made a few cups for the people at the table.
The hot steam rising from the teacup rises up and blends with the warm light in the house.
At this moment, everything around them seemed to have quieted down. The only sounds left in the air were their slight breathing and the occasional, slightly abrupt yet harmonious sound of potato chips breaking.
The System and Long Ruilin, each holding a bucket of potato chips fried by Cang Wuya, were eating with gusto, their faces full of enjoyment.
It is worth mentioning that these potatoes were planted by Cang Wuya in the spiritual field in Long Ruilin’s space. In order to make these potatoes grow and mature quickly, he consumed a lot of spiritual energy and even used magic circles to promote growth.
It is for this reason that we have these two buckets of precious potato chips.
It was originally reserved for Lu Xi, but the two children were looking at her eagerly, so she couldn't just remain indifferent.
So after trying two pieces, I sold it.
Lu Xi ignored the creaking sound beside her, took out the box that she had just brought down from upstairs from her space, and then gently pushed it from the table in front of Jiang Momo.
"Momo, this is a small gift I prepared for you." Lu Xi's tone was like that of an elder who was caring for a younger person.
"Huh?" Jiang Momo looked at the quaint and mysterious box in front of him with some surprise, and was absent-minded for a moment.
She was surprised by the sudden box. She didn't expect Lu Xi to give her a gift suddenly.
"Thank you, Sister Lu." Jiang Momo quickly expressed his gratitude after coming to his senses. She did not refuse because he knew that Sister Lu always kept her word. Since she had given it to him, he should accept it well.
She held the quaint box carefully, her fingertips gently caressing its warm and delicate surface, her heart filled with curiosity and anticipation.
She looked up at Lu Xi, her bright eyes showing a hint of inquiry, "Can I open it and take a look now?"
In the past, Jiang Momo was very ceremonial when opening gifts, but now the conditions are no longer there, and it is relatively safe here, so she wants to open them here.
Seeing this, Lu Xi raised a gentle smile on her face. She nodded gently, her tone full of encouragement, "Of course, this box belongs to you now, you can do whatever you want with it, it's all up to you."
The little girl was quite reserved and did not open the gift immediately.
However, this is also in line with the etiquette and customs of their country. Generally, people do not open other people's gifts in front of them, as a sign of respect and politeness.
