Chapter 223 Why are you still bragging about business?
After Chen An washed up, changed his clothes, and slowly went downstairs.
At this time, there was a bustling scene downstairs. With the careful arrangements of Xie Xiaochun and the busy work of two laborers, it was not long before the table was filled with a variety of wines and drinks, as well as a wide range of side dishes.
"Xiao Chen, come here, come here..." Xie Zhiyao raised his eyes and saw Chen An, and greeted him warmly, with an expectant smile on his face.
"What's going on?" Chen An walked over with a puzzled look on his face.
Xie Zhiyao quickly pulled Chen An over and said with a smile, "Nana said that your barbecue skills are better than your cooking skills, so after a unanimous vote, we decided that this important task tonight will be handed over to you."
Chen An couldn't help but glare at Nana speechlessly, folding his hands in front of his chest and said, "Hey, Mr. Xie, isn't it too easy for you to treat us to a meal?"
"What I can't do is just a matter of time. There's just no good cook for me. Barbecue is really not my forte." Xie Zhiyao shrugged helplessly, looking innocent.
"Brother Xiaowu, I want to eat your grilled food..." Da Mai pointed at the skewers on the table and pouted, "Boss Xie's cooking skills seem to be not as good as mine."
"Xiao Chen, work faster. I'm so hungry." Nana covered her stomach and blinked her big eyes at Chen An pitifully.
Xie Xiaoxia took the initiative to suggest: "Brother Chen, how about I help you with that?"
"No, no, Xiaoxia, just sit down," Chen An turned his head and glared at Xie Zhiyao who was smirking. He seriously suspected that this guy was doing it on purpose, "Add money, at least two bottles..."
"No, this is really not possible. Grandma's stock is running low." Xie Zhiyao looked at Xie Xiaochun and said with a smile, "Actually, Aunt Baoping's cooking skills are also impeccable."
"Don't think I don't know. This is useful and I want to give it to someone." Chen An said as he thought about giving it to Xu Hongmi when he went to the Magic City.
Xie Xiaochun looked at Xie Zhiyao and asked, "Brother, when will Xiao Huang come over?"
"It should be soon. I'll give her another call." Xie Zhiyao said, walking to the side and taking out his cell phone.
"Fatty, Mr. Xie just said that the wine brewed by Aunt Aquarius is also good, huh?" Chen An looked at Xie Xiaochun with a smile.
Xie Xiaochun rolled his eyes and said, "I can get you a few bottles later, right?"
"Sister Xiaochun is so generous..." Chen An gave a thumbs up and praised.
After taking a shower, Xu Hongdou changed her clothes and went out. She smelled the aroma of skewers in the air and her stomach started to growl.
Walking downstairs, he saw Chen An busy at the barbecue grill and asked curiously, "Xiao An, where is Xie Zhiyao? Isn't he the one treating us?"
Chen An had a miserable expression on his face. He kept turning the skewers in his hands and said, "I went to pick someone up. He should be back soon. I'm a worker now. In order to get some local specialties for Sister Hongmi, I was forced to sell my wrists..."
Nana quickly called out, "Hongdou, come and try it. Xiaochen's cooking skills are really good, but he's a little slow."
Xu Hongdou took the skewers of meat handed over by Nana, sat down and took a bite. Her eyes lit up and she praised it highly: "This guy has a great talent for cooking. Last time I thought he was just bragging."
"Brother Xiaowu, speed up, there's no more..." Da Mai put the empty skewer aside, shouting loudly with red chili powder still on his mouth.
"I also want to be faster, but this tool is not powerful enough..." Chen An said helplessly.
Just at this moment, Xie Zhiyao and Huang Xinxin walked in from outside the yard. Xie Zhiyao gave a thumbs up and praised: "Xiao Chen, your cooking skills are good. I smelled the fragrance when I was outside the yard..."
"Boss Xie, you are the host tonight and I am just an employee, so you don't have to flatter me..." Chen An teased with a smile, looking at Huang Xinxin and raised an eyebrow and asked, "I was wondering why you were so active, it turns out you went to pick up the beauty."
Xie Zhiyao didn't care about these things. After all, more than one person had teased him like this.
"Xiao Huang introduces you. This is Chen An, the resident of the courtyard and the chef for tonight..." Xie Zhiyao introduced with a smile.
Huang Xinxin took the initiative to greet him, "Hello, handsome Chen, my name is Huang Xinxin, you can just call me Xinxin, I am now the assistant to the village party secretary, if you need help with anything in the village, just come to me..."
"Congratulations to the host for meeting the TV drama character Huang Xinxin, and I will reward you with 3 points of free attribute."
Chen An said in surprise, "I've always heard that there is a college student village official in the village who is enthusiastic, cheerful, kind, upright, responsible, and has ideals. Now I finally get to see him in person."
"Brother Chen, you're praising me like that. I feel a little embarrassed." Huang Xinxin couldn't help but smile up when she heard Chen An's compliment. She smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits and said, "If it wasn't for Mr. Xie's introduction, I would have thought I was seeing a big star experiencing life."
"No, I was wondering why you two are still talking nonsense about business." Xie Zhiyao looked at the two of them speechlessly and shook his head.
Chen An placed the grilled skewers on the plate and said, "Boss Xie, please serve..."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Master Chen..." Xie Zhiyao took the plate with a smile.
Chen An was quick and agile and quickly grilled all the skewers.
"Come, come, try the vegetables I roasted..."
Nana pulled Chen An to sit next to her, "Okay, you've been busy for a long time, sit down and eat something."
"Brother Xiaowu, would you like some rose wine from Sister Xiaochun's house?" Da Mai asked as he sat on the other side of Chen An, his face full of anticipation.
"Okay, give me some..." Chen An nodded with a smile.
Seeing that Chen An had finally finished his work, Xie Zhiyao quickly raised his glass and said, "Come, let's raise our glasses together to toast to Chef Xiao Chen, and welcome him and Hongdou to live in Youfeng Courtyard..."
"Cheers!" Everyone raised their glasses and laughed.
Putting down his wine glass, Chen An smiled and said, "Come on, everyone, eat while it's hot..."
Xu Hongdou put the peeled prawns on Chen An's plate and said gently, "We have eaten a lot, you should eat quickly, you are exhausted today..."
Huang Xinxin was very surprised and didn't understand what was going on. Another person who was surprised was Hu Youyu, but this guy was finally wise for once and didn't say anything nonsense.
