The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 70
[Chapter 70 Little Boy]
Looking at the four identical pictures, Bai Xiaochun looked desperate.
He hasn’t won once today.
Bai Xiaochun is an extremely dishonest person who never fulfills his promises.
Of course, only in front of outsiders.
As for the young master, he definitely keeps his promises better than anyone else.
I am willing to admit defeat in my bet. Since I promised the loser to go pick the fruit, I will go.
Bai Xiaochun glanced pitifully at the barbecue grill, then stood up helplessly and walked out.
He put together the barbecue ingredients one by one. It seems that he has no chance to taste them today.
Fang Xiu glanced at him, waved his hand, and said casually: “We’ll go back later and finish the barbecue first.”
When Bai Xiaochun heard this, his somewhat dim eyes suddenly shone brightly, and his head nodded rapidly. He said excitedly: “Yes, Master!”
Barbecue, a method of cooking ingredients, has existed since humans knew how to use fire.
In Fang Xiu’s era, barbecue was also a way to have dinner together with hot pot.
Every summer, the streets are filled with various barbecue stalls, and at night, everything is shrouded in smoke.
Barbecue is an art.
As the saying goes: If heaven is sentimental, heaven will also grow old, and the right way in the world is to eat barbecue.
Due to the lack of seasonings, the grilled skewers did not have as rich a flavor as the previous life.
But it still exudes a very attractive aroma.
Fang Xiu had already asked the chef from Chunfeng Building to marinate the mutton in advance and apply some honey on it.
Honey has become a commonly used condiment in previous lives. When used on barbecues, it can not only enhance the freshness, sweetness and color.
Under the grilling of charcoal fire, the surface of the mutton turns golden and exudes an alluring sweet smell.
A stick of incense time passed, and the aroma coming from the barbecue grill became stronger and stronger.
On the side, Bai Xiaochun looked at the various grilled skewers eagerly, swallowing his saliva.
Xiu’er was no better than him. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the barbecue grill, and she would look back at Fang Xiu from time to time.
Seeing them like this, Fang Xiu couldn’t help but feel a little funny. He shook his head, picked up a skewer of mutton from the barbecue grill, handed it to Xiu’er, and said with a smile: “Try it.”
“Thank you, young master.”
Xiu’er’s face turned red and she took the mutton. Chuan, Nuonuo responded.
Although Chu State also has barbecue, there has never been a method of stringing ingredients together like this.
So
although the taste of the skewers is very tempting, Xiu’er doesn’t know how to eat it.
It was Fang Xiu who ate a bunch first, and then Xiu’er and Bai Xiaochun started to learn in a decent manner.
Soon, most of the food he brought was gone.
It has to be said that the Chunfenglou chef’s cooking skills are remarkable. With only a few seasonings, he can marinate the meat so deliciously and mix it with fragrant and sweet honey.
Even Fang Xiu, who is used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas, was not impressed at all.
The three of them were immersed in the delicious food. Suddenly, a childish voice came from not far away.
“Who are you? This is my place, you can’t be here!”
Fang Xiu looked up subconsciously.
I saw a little boy of six or seven years old standing on the grass not far away, looking at him with an unhappy face.
Fang Xiu just thought he was a troublemaking naughty child, so he didn’t take it to heart and continued to grill skewers.
Bai Xiaochun can handle this kind of thing.
Sure enough, when Bai Xiaochun heard this, he hurriedly got up from the blanket, took out a few coins, handed them to the little boy, and said, “Young Master, I’ll give you a few coins to buy some sweets. My young master has something to do here and will leave soon.” The
little boy glanced at the copper plate, raised his head, looked arrogant, and said in a childish voice: “Young Master is Young Master, why do you need to add the word ‘little’? Besides, I don’t like sweets.”
Bai Xiaochun smiled .
He smiled, half-crouched, looked at the little boy, and asked: “What does this young master like to eat?”
“This young master likes to eat.”
The little boy was about to answer, but seemed to realize something, paused, and said: “This young master likes to eat.”
What you like to eat has nothing to do with you. You are occupying my young master’s place. Leave quickly, otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!”
If these words were said from an adult’s mouth, it would inevitably make people feel angry, and it would immediately trigger A fight is not out of the question.
But coming from the mouth of a pretty little boy, it makes people laugh.
He is a child after all.
Seeing his serious look, Fang Xiu couldn’t help but feel a little funny. He also got up from the blanket and walked to him.
When Bai Xiaochun saw this, he immediately took a step back and stood at the back.
Fang Xiu looked at the little boy, squatted down and said, “You are a young master, and I am also a young master. Even if we don’t care about first come, first served, there is no difference between the two of us. Why should we let you go?”
The little boy thought for a while, Said: “Because this place is mine!”
“”
At this time, Fang Xiu felt helpless.
After a moment of silence, he added, “How about we make a bet. If you win, we will leave here.”
The little boy looked at Fang Xiu, thought for a moment, and said, “This place was originally mine. Yes, why are you willing to leave only after I win?”
Fang Xiu choked for a moment.
That’s all, a child.
Is this young master the kind of person who cares about children?
So, he changed his words and said, “In that case, if you lose, you can allow us to go outing here, okay?”
“What if I win?”
the little boy said with an interested expression on his face.
Fang Xiu stretched out his hand, pointed behind him, and said, “Then I will barbecue for you, how about it?”
Barbecuing?
The little boy looked at the barbecue grill behind Fang Xiu, looked at the charcoal fire underneath, and understood immediately.
It turns out that the fragrance I smelled before came from here.
“Okay.”
The little boy nodded seriously.
Fang Xiu smiled and thought: He is still a child after all, so naive.
I didn’t even find out what the bet was about, so I agreed rashly.
If it were an arm wrestling match, how could he, a child, compete with him?
However, Fang Xiu is a moral person, not noble at all, but he would not resort to such despicable means.
He just picked up two stones of different sizes from the ground.
Next, hold the stone in the palm of your hand and raise both arms to the same height.
The little boy looked at Fang Xiu with confusion on his face. Just when he was about to ask, he heard him say: “This bet is very simple. You only need to guess which of the two stones will be the one when I let go.” Land first.
If you guess correctly, then I lose and we will leave immediately. If you guess wrong, you must fulfill your promise and let us rest here.”
The little boy’s eyes widened when he heard this.
This bet was so simple, but his young mind had doubts.
Of course, it’s not that I doubt myself, but that I doubt the IQ of the person in front of me.
If two stones fall from the same height, the one with the heavier weight will hit the ground first. This is something everyone knows. Is there any need to bet?
“What, do you dare to bet?”
Fang Xiu looked at the little boy and asked rather provocatively.
