Chapter 149 Treat you to a meal

"It's about sausages. I like sausages. I just happened to bring sausages here." Chen Ran took out a pack of sausages from the bag. "This is sausages that I haven't eaten much in the refrigerator over there."

"Wait a minute," Meng Xiaobei looked at him, "How did I hear that you invited me to dinner?"

"Yes, I bought groceries. I even bought a pot." Chen Ran also looked at her.

"Is there such a thing as inviting people to dinner?" Meng Xiaobei was amused.

"Then I'll do it," Chen Ran said simply, "Just tell me whether you want to eat it or not."

Meng Xiaobei opened her mouth but no words came out.

When Meng Xiaobei went to eat at the casserole shop where Shi Shi was working, Meng Xiaobei glanced at the proprietress's cooking. The general steps were not difficult.

It seems that the rice is soaked in water according to the proportion first, and when it is used, it is directly scooped into the pot with the water and rice.

Meng Xiaobei took the rice measuring cup and looked at the two casseroles for a long time. He felt that it was not much more difficult than coding, so he grabbed a few handfuls of rice and put them in. After washing the rice, he added water to the pot.

Put the two casseroles together on the gas stove and light the fire.

Chen Ran washed the sausage and cut it into slices while she was washing the rice. Meng Xiaobei stretched his head and looked at it, "Is this sausage made at home?"

"Well, Aunt Zhang made it herself according to the flavor of our hometown," Chen Ran said, "Can you tell that?"

"I can't help but see that it's all lean meat. How can I spend so much money on the ones sold in supermarkets?" Meng Xiaobei sighed, "it's better to have sausages that are half fat and half lean. They can produce oil when steamed.

It’s just fragrant.”

"What do you need so much oil for? It's so unhealthy." Chen Ran didn't care about this. He took a bottle of olive oil and put it on the counter. "No, you can add some of this to it later. It'll be fine."

"Can that be the same smell?" Meng Xiaobei said, thinking about it and waving his hand: "Okay, okay, I am healthy too."

"Eating too much sausage is not healthy. These pickled things are not good for the body." Chen Ran added the cut sausages to the casserole, "Especially those sold on the street are full of nitrites."

Then he pushed Meng Xiaobei with his elbow, "You go out first, I'll do it."

Meng Xiaobei returned to the living room, sat on the sofa and watched TV, listening to Chen Ran banging pots and bowls in the kitchen. He wanted to get up several times to see what he was doing, but in the end he held back.

After watching TV for a while, her cell phone rang. She took it over and took a look. It was Li Bohao.

"Have you eaten yet, little Beibei?" Li Bohao asked as soon as he answered the phone.

"You haven't eaten yet, why don't you treat me?" Meng Xiaobei smiled.

"No, I'm just asking casually," Li Bohao said, "Has that damn guy Ah Ran gone to your place?"

"Yes," Meng Xiaobei replied, "You already have a hair care angel, why are you worrying about him?"

"Who cares about him," Li Bohao said, "Liang Ying and I are in Waterside Pavilion and Flower City. We didn't see the owner, so I just asked casually, Okay, I won't disturb you anymore."

"Hey, wait, don't hang up now," Meng Xiaobei raised his hand and looked at the calendar on his watch, "I'll take the time to treat you and Liang Ying to a meal in two days, as a thank you."

"Is it about Shitou? I'm an outsider, so what's there to thank you for?" Li Bohao said nonchalantly, "It's not like I'm asking someone else to do something. I can arrange for someone to go to my own supermarket without any trouble."

"How does the store feel about his performance?" Meng Xiaobei asked.

"According to the feedback from the store, it's pretty good. He's very smart, knows how to adapt, and knows how to ask people if he doesn't understand." Li Bohao said, "I am the one. I want to ask if he can be promoted after a while.

Job or something?"

Meng Xiaobei turned down the sound of the TV, stood up and walked to the balcony, "Are you asking me about this?"

"If it were another employee, I would definitely not ask you. Didn't you introduce this person?" Li Bohao said with a smile, "This is the first time you ask me to do something. I have to take the person introduced by Xiao Beibei seriously."

"No need for special treatment, just do whatever you want." Meng Xiaobei thought for a while and then said, "He has never been to school. Please ask the store manager not to arrange for him to do anything too difficult."

"Understood." Li Bohao responded, paused for a while and then spoke again: "What, Xiaobei, is this kid really your friend?"

"What do you want to say?" Meng Xiaobei sat on the rocking chair on the balcony, "It's considered a child, you know?"

"I don't want to say anything, I just want to gossip," Li Bohao laughed.

"Stop gossiping. I might have to trouble you again in a few days," Meng Xiaobei stretched his legs and slowly moved the rocking chair a few times.

"How do you say that?" Li Bohao asked.

"Yes, there is a little girl, and she has nowhere to go, but we are not sure yet," Meng Xiaobei tentatively tried to give him a vaccination first.

"As long as you are not a fugitive being hunted, it's not a big problem," Li Bohao didn't think it would be difficult.

After chatting for a while with Li Bohao and hanging up the phone, Meng Xiaobei lay in the rocking chair and rocked gently, listening to the sound of Chen Ran tossing in the kitchen, feeling an indescribable sense of happiness.

She was glad that she got to know him and his friends.

She always felt that in the bones of Shitou, Xiaohua was just like Shitou, with a very pure and kind nature, worthy of her reaching out, so she would go to help regardless of danger again and again.

Meng Xiaobei frowned. She was not a divine savior. She saved them in a moment of anger, but the real headache was how to go in the future.

She didn't understand why she got involved again and again in these things that she tried so hard to get rid of, but she really couldn't turn a blind eye or ignore it, not for anything else but because her conscience couldn't bear it.

There was another clanging sound from the kitchen, like a renovation team tearing down a house.

Meng Xiaobei stood up and walked to the kitchen. As soon as she entered, she was stunned. There were chopped vegetables in a mess on the chopping board, and a lot of things fell from the chopping board and the floor. The two casseroles that were cooking on the stove were all thrown out.

Rice and water.

"You" Meng Xiaobei opened her mouth and was unable to speak.

"I'll ask the hourly worker to clean up later," Chen Ran pushed her out of the kitchen, "Just rest and don't come in."

"Be careful not to smash the gas stove!" Meng Xiaobei explained with some pain, "Turn on the range hood at maximum power."

"I know, I'll pay for it if it's damaged." Chen Ran closed the kitchen door.

Meng Xiaobei sat back on the sofa in the living room and stared at the TV. Chen Ran continued to mess around in the kitchen, but now it seemed that he had passed the stage of chopping vegetables and making the side dishes look like he was tearing down a house.

She recalled that when she first entered the kitchen, she seemed to smell the aroma of sausage and rice combined, and it did feel a bit like casserole rice.

Nearly half an hour later, when the smell of rice filled the room, Meng Xiaobei wanted to peek through the crack in the door.

Chen Ran finally opened the kitchen door and stuck his head out: "Ready to eat."

"Okay." Meng Xiaobei was already feeling a little uncomfortable with hunger and stood up immediately.

"Sit at the table and wait." Chen Ran said.
