Chapter 183 Lake Entrance
In Mo Village in winter, the sun shines through the thin clouds and shines on every corner of the city.
Although it is winter, due to the southern hemisphere and the geographical location of the city, the sky in Mo Village does not have snowflakes falling, but maintains a unique coolness and tranquility.
On a wide highway, two Mercedes-Benz cars were driving at high speed. They are like two bolts of lightning, piercing the silence of winter and galloping towards the unknown distance.
The sunlight is refracted on the metal surface of the car body, forming flowing light and shadow. The elegant lines and smooth contours of the Mercedes-Benz are particularly dazzling in the sun, as if it is a bright color in this winter.
Passengers in the car may be immersed in their own world, closing their eyes to relax, or admiring the scenery along the way, enjoying the rare warm sunshine and tranquility in this winter.
The surrounding scenery constantly changes as the vehicle drives, from the bustling city to the tranquility of the countryside to the ups and downs of the mountains in the distance.
At this time, the atmosphere in the two cars was very awkward.
The back row of the car in which Dongdong and Xiao Ming were riding was empty, while Chen Xi’s car was packed with passengers. This stark contrast made Dongdong feel quite unhappy.
What made him even more upset was that his favorite future wife, Zhang Ruoxi, did not choose to sit in his car, but chose Chen Xi's overcrowded car.
This sense of loss and frustration brought Dongdong's mood to freezing point.
Chen Xi felt extremely heavy at the moment, and the atmosphere in the car made him a little breathless.
Shazhi sat in the passenger seat, while Shen Xinyi, Zhang Ruoxi, and Jin Nana were crowded in the back row.
I originally thought there would be a lively conversation, but after a few words of greeting when we first got in the car, the car fell into an embarrassing silence.
It is said that three women make a show, but now the four women in the car made the air seem to freeze.
Chen Xi used the rearview mirror to observe the situation in the back row from time to time, and every time he could catch the eyes of the three women in the back row casually looking at him.
Even Saori looked at him with a strange look from time to time, which made him feel a little scared.
"Seeing how bored you are, let me tell you a joke." Seeing that no one was talking in the car, Chen Xi could only find a topic by himself.
“Four girls were sitting in a car chatting. They discussed what they would do in the next life. The first girl said I would make flowers and everyone would kiss me. The second girl said I would make mahjong and everyone would kiss me. Touching me, the third one said he wanted to make ice cream and everyone licked me, the fourth one said he wanted to make an ambulance and everyone got on me from behind, and I still screamed! "
Chen Xi told a joke, I want to make all the girls smile.
However, when he finished speaking, he found that the four women were staring at him with strange eyes, which seemed to contain doubts and scrutiny.
"Haha, do you think you are very humorous?" Zhang Ruoxi laughed twice first, and then said expressionlessly.
"Um... I'm just looking at you guys who are all silent. Are you three sitting in the back crowded?" Chen Xi quickly changed the subject.
"Very good." Shen Xinyi said lightly.
“Are you from Kimchi country? Your Mandarin is really good.”
"Thank you, would you like to come over to me? It won't be too crowded."
"It's okay."
Maybe Chen Xi's joke worked, Zhang Ruoxi and Jin Na Na started chatting.
"Baby, are you tired? Just squint for a while." Chen Xi couldn't help but remind her as he saw Shazhi in a daze.
"I'm not sleepy." Saori shook her head, she was dressed very beautifully today.
If there weren't so many people in the car, Chen Xizhen would have wanted to fight the opponent for 300 rounds.
Chen Xi booked a spacious seaside villa with multiple rooms and a very advantageous location.
After a long drive, they finally arrived at this peaceful seaside paradise.
The appearance of the villa is simple and elegant, and the interior furnishings are complete, providing a comfortable living environment for tourists coming for vacation.
The shops in the Lake Entrance area are not dense, but concentrated in a large shopping mall, where surrounding residents and tourists usually choose to buy their daily needs.
This layout makes shopping easy and convenient, and also adds a unique flavor of life to this quiet seaside town.
After placing their luggage, the group of them couldn’t wait to head to the shopping mall.
Since the stores here close earlier, in order to avoid going hungry at night, they must buy ingredients and daily necessities as early as possible. There are almost no restaurants nearby, so you have to make your own dinner.
Several women are secretly competing with each other and plan to show off their cooking skills in front of three men at night to show off their charm and abilities.
They paid special attention when shopping, selecting various ingredients and seasonings, and fully prepared for the evening cooking competition.
As soon as you enter the Lake Entrance shopping mall, a strong smell of seafood hits your face. The shopping mall is rich in food ingredients, especially seafood. There are all kinds of seafood in sight, which is dizzying.
Live sea fish swim freely in the transparent water tank, and their scales sparkle in the sun. Huge lobsters and crabs are carefully arranged in the chilled section, their shells still bearing traces of seawater.
Shellfish are also one of the specialties here, including scallops, oysters, conches, etc., each one is plump and plump, exuding an alluring aroma.
In addition, the mall also provides a variety of seafood processing services. Visitors can choose cooking methods according to their own tastes and enjoy the delicious seafood.
Chen Xi was standing in front of a shelf selling TT, hesitating.
"No need to buy it, I brought it all here, and I will serve you well tonight~" Saori held his arm and whispered.
"Little fairy!" Chen Xi scratched her little nose. This woman was actually prepared.
“Forget it, it’s too embarrassing to have so many people living together today.” Chen Xi thought about the problem of too many people and decided to endure it. "It's okay, I'll keep my voice lower." Saori said with a smile and narrowed her eyes.
In one sentence, the evil fire came up in him immediately.
"Xinyi, I brought chili peppers and will make spicy chicken for you tonight."
"Chen Xi doesn't eat spicy food."
"All I can think about is Chen Xi, and he doesn't eat it." , I still eat spicy food, aren’t there others, Nana is from the kimchi country and also eats spicy food?”
Zhang Ruoxi pouted and said dissatisfied.
"Speaking of which, I feel so embarrassed. I regret asking Chen Xi to come. Why did I bring another girl from Kimchi country? She looks very beautiful, as tall as you!" Zhang Ruoxi said softly.
"What's there to be embarrassed about? It's normal for him to come with his girlfriend. It's someone else's private matter. That girl from Kimchi Country is Saori's friend, so there's nothing wrong with it, but the two of us feel a little redundant. "
"Xinyi, I didn't expect you to be so generous and tolerant of your future husband's three wives and four concubines."
"What are you talking about? He and I are just now. We are friends, and Chen Xi is not that kind of person. I feel that he is quite single-minded. He told me before that he has a girlfriend and has no other ideas."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk~ I'm obsessed. "Yeah, I just said a few words to him here, and you started to defend him like this."
Zhang Ruoxi stared at Shen Xinyi like a fool, feeling that the best friend in front of her had changed a lot.
"Here comes a chicken, and those chicken skeletons."
"Okay."
Chen Xi walked to the meat sales area, randomly selected a chicken, and pointed to the chicken next to it skeleton.
Here, the chicken skeleton is the best bait for catching crabs, with some offal and meat scraps remaining on it, which are usually not eaten by the locals.
Therefore, when you buy meat in a shopping mall, it usually comes with a chicken skeleton.
For merchants, these chicken skeletons will be discarded anyway, so giving them to customers can be regarded as a value-added service.
Chen Xi plans to use these free chicken skeletons to make bait for catching crabs, which is both economical and practical.
After returning to the villa, the four women couldn't wait to start their cooking demonstration. The kitchen suddenly became lively, and the sounds of pots and pans intertwined into a cheerful symphony.
Shen Xinyi is responsible for handling the seafood. She cleans the fish and shrimp skillfully and skillfully marinates them with various spices to make the seafood exude an alluring aroma.
Zhang Ruoxi is simmering rich chicken soup on the side. Her carefully selected herbs and chicken slowly blend in the pot, exuding a mouth-watering aroma. Originally, she planned to make spicy chicken, but she gave up under Shen Xinyi's sharp eyes.
Jin Nana and Saori were not idle either. One of them was responsible for making vegetable salad, and the other was responsible for making sushi and desserts.
Nana cuts the fresh vegetables into evenly sized pieces, then tops them with the special sauce, and a salad with a delicious color and aroma is completed.
Saori skillfully made and baked it. After a while, the fragrant dessert was freshly baked from the oven, and then the seafood was made into sushi.
The four women were busy in the kitchen, their faces filled with confidence and joy. The three men were sitting in the living room staring at each other.
Chen Xi poured water on the chicken carcass, put it in a plastic bag and sealed it. Then he walked out of the room and threw it on the ground, then lit a cigarette.
"Why are you leaving the chicken skeleton here?"
"Crabs like to eat smelly food. If you leave it overnight, it will definitely smell bad tomorrow, hehe."
"Fuck, you are so disgusting."
Dongdong shook his head and quickly ran back to the house.
A few hours later, rich dishes were served on the table. The four women looked at them confidently, as if waiting for the three men's comments.
"Let's try this chicken soup." Zhang Ruoxi spoke first and filled a bowl for everyone.
“Aren’t you from Shancheng? Don’t you like spicy food?” Dongdong said with a puzzled look. There was only one spicy dish on the dinner table today, and it was prepared by Zhang Ruoxi for herself.
"It's not Xinyi... I have a stomachache today and I can't eat spicy food." Before Zhang Ruoxi could finish speaking, she felt someone kicked her calf and she quickly changed her words.
After saying that, he glared at Shen Xinyi. Now all fools knew that it was Shen Xinyi who made the special instructions, which made everyone look at Chen Xi.
“Eat, eat.” Chen Xi quickly changed the subject, picked up the soup and drank it.
"Try this salad." Nana pointed to the refreshing vegetables on the table.
"I can't believe you are from the Kimchi country. It feels no different from us." Dongdong and Xiao Ming met Nana for the first time, so they were naturally a little curious.
But both of them had seen Nana’s photos before, because Chen Xi had asked Xiao Ming to help with photos and advertisements for the martial arts school.
"You look so slender and beautiful, and you are actually a good practitioner." Dongdong praised Nana, but immediately shut up because he suddenly thought that Zhang Ruoxi was still there.
But when he glanced at Zhang Ruoxi, he found that the other party was eating food and didn't seem to care at all.
It seemed that Zhang Ruoxi had no feelings for him at all, and Dongdong felt her heart tremble when she thought of this.
"Thank you." Nana thanked her in a low voice and picked up the vegetables for Shaoxi.
