Chapter 36: Family Dinner
This was the first time Gu Yun really invited a friend at his family's banquet, and he happened to make up for the celebration banquet that he had never had time to make up for before.
Everyone has different ideas. After the agreement, Chen Yue put forward the suggestion of home-style hot pot, so that everyone's requirements can be met to the maximum extent.
In fact, Chen Yue’s social circle is not wide, and the classmates in the class have almost no close relationships, so after coming to City X, he almost never experienced the atmosphere of a family-style dinner. In addition, it is said that they were all industry insiders today, so she was a little looking forward to it. After helping Gu Yun clean up her new home in the afternoon, she asked Bai Yuan and the other two to go to the nearest commercial park together.
As an old resident who has lived nearby for several years, Chen Yue knows the traffic conditions around her and immediately takes Bai Yuan to a clothing store.
After all, her girl with long white hair and a little fairy-like appearance will always attract frequent attention from passers-by.
Gu Yun's majestic appearance and aura as good as the security captain made the bronze sorcerer, the gangster and the star visit dissuaded.
Of course, many times the aura is just one aspect.
Dressing taste can often directly reflect a person's background.
Just like a shirtless person like Gu Yun who goes out in a cold day, you can tell that he is a tough guy at a glance.
Bai Yuan was reluctant to go around various famous brand clothing spots, and finally copied a white winter dress with her own feathers. In fact, she felt from the bottom of her heart that the previous set was better looking, which was what she saw from the album online. The first time she saw it, she was deeply attracted.
However, the white hair and red eyes were the last persistence of the pigeon, and she refused to make any modifications to the hair color and pupil color.
Gu Yun had no objection to this, after all, he had seen any strange creature.
As the saying goes, the ice-type flying, Bai Yuan, as a bird, was reluctant to travel in winter, but when she heard that the main purpose of this action was to buy ingredients for dinner at night, she finally chose to compromise.
After sleeping for so long, she missed the sweet and fragrant taste of the little corn.
Regarding the selection of hot pot ingredients, the three showed different personal preferences. Chen Yuejia bought fat beef, pork belly, enoki mushrooms and mutton rolls with ease; Bai Kitan chose small corn, small corn and small corn; Gu Yun chose watermelon, pineapple, chocolate and dumbbells.
"Slow down!"
When the three of them gathered at the cashier, Chen Yue couldn't help but feel dark, "I should have said that we are going to buy hot pot ingredients!"
Not to mention the basket of little corn that Bai Yuan was carrying, she could barely not complain about watermelon pineapple chocolate. After all, these three things are barely considered after-meal desserts.
But……
"What the hell is going on with you!"
Chen Yue felt that Gu Yun had a very problematic one.
Because no matter in any region, according to any custom, dumbbells cannot be counted as food.
"I didn't want to buy it, but when I passed by, I happened to see it being a promotion."
Gu Yun explained that as a person who is used to being short of money, his sensitivity to discounted products is far beyond ordinary people.
"Why."
Chen Yue sighed, but she could only express her understanding. She knew that Gu Yun was a cultivator and could not move her feet when she encountered a dumbbell that happened to be discounted... She put her heart in her heart, and she would have a similar feeling when she encountered a new game launch conference.
"I was planning to buy a dumbbell, but I didn't expect to be sold so many products."
"As a matter of fact, you still don't understand the concept of hot pot ingredients at all!"
"No, you misunderstood."
Gu Yun shook his head seriously, "It was just because I was considering having a dinner tonight that I decided to buy dumbbells temporarily."
In his impression, hot pot always makes people overeat, and they choose to have dinner together at night. Once they eat too much, they will easily gain weight. Such eating habits are extremely harmful to health.
Chen Yue and the others only thought about the arrangement of the dinner, but did not consider the aftermath after dinner at all.
There is only one treadmill at home and cannot be provided to everyone.
"As for the ingredients of hot pot, you should be able to handle it well. I believe your vision."
"real?"
To be honest, Chen Yue was still a little moved when she heard it. After all, it was not easy to hear a praising saying from Gu Yun.
"Well, after all, those people in the village who are not very good at fighting are all good at logistics."
Chen Yue's smile froze on her face.
"You guys help me get these ingredients first, and I'll buy a few bottles of laxatives."
Reverse him!
She actually divided her well-known combatants into the logistics department as if nothing had happened. You see, I'll be done if I don't poison tonight!
……………………
In the end, because Gu Yun bought some strange "ingredients", Chen Yue had to double the meat products. The hot pot had to rely on the atmosphere of eating and chatting as a driving force. It would be embarrassing if the ingredients were gone halfway.
You can’t eat halfway through the meal, everyone goes to the treadmill to play with dumbbells, right?
After the purchase, Chen Yue and Gu Yun classified the ingredients in different categories, and then liberated the space near the living room coffee table, and brought the induction cooker to the middle position.
Considering that there are many guests invited today, Chen Yue also brought the induction cooker of her rental house.
Throughout the process, she found that there was a burden who was always passively slacking off.
Since entering the house, Bai Yuan has been lying on the soft sofa and doing nothing, holding the basket of little corn she bought, smiling foolishly.
Chen Yue really felt that if the natural disasters were all stupid and stupid, humans might have been able to eliminate all disasters long ago.
"You're here to help me!"
"Oh, OK."
Bai Yuan glanced at Chen Yue in a daze, took out a small corn from the basket and handed it to the other party.
Holding the full corn in his hand, Chen Yue felt mixed feelings.
After a while, the doorbell rang.
The first ones were Luo Xin, Ikeda Asaya and Shiqi, which were more than an hour earlier than the agreed time.
After seeing Gu Yun's real skills, the three of them directly regarded Gu Yun as their life mentor, so naturally there was no reason to refuse the invitation. When they came, they also brought some small gifts that could stir up the atmosphere of hot pot.
Ikeda Yaya brought sake from his hometown, which is characteristic and extremely precious.
Shiqi confirmed on the phone that Chen Yue forgot to buy the staple food, and brought wide flour, hand-rolled noodles and buns.
Luo Xin brought the small cakes he usually tried to make when he was in the dormitory.
The second batch came with Anling and Avril, which was one quarter of an hour earlier than the agreed time.
Anling brought his own secret seasoning. As soon as he entered the door and asked everyone about their taste, he volunteered to go to the kitchen to prepare the sauce.
Avril brought some bacon and a three-headed dog.
Seeing the hot pot formation, she covered her face in shame and hid aside.
There was no hot pot in her hometown, and no one had ever taken her to eat hot pot when she came to City X. She subconsciously thought that hot pot was referring to some kind of barbecue, but when she came, she found that bacon and hot pot didn't seem to match at all.
The third batch came Wang Lu, five minutes later than the agreed time.
Chapter completed!
