Noticing everyone's strange expression, Xiang Qi raised his jaw slightly and got straight to the point. "What? Never seen someone bring their own tableware before?"
"..." They had seen people bring their bowls, but not one this big...
Li Jianyu awkwardly praised, "Hades, you really are... detail-oriented."
He thought that since Hades was a fashion designer and a considerably artistic guy, it was normal to have a few strange habits.
"Cheh." Xiang Qi dismissed his commentary. "It's nothing but a bowl."
#As long as I'm not awkward, then everyone else will be the awkward ones#
In past family gatherings, eating meals cooked by his sister was like going on the battlefield. Xiang Yu and Xiang Feng would even bring pots and pans to battle.
Now that's called a bloodbath ～(~￣▽￣)~～
Shrimp dumplings and fish noodles were both semi-finished products. Li Jianyu volunteered to cook the dishes himself while calling on Lao Li the photographer to film some special content.
Meanwhile, the task of feeding Xiao Naofu was won over by Jiang Chen.
The seven boys were chattering about as they surrounded the soft white kitten, blabbering nonstop.
"So this is sis's cat."
"It's so small, it's smaller than my palm."
"It looked at me, it looked at me! Its eyes look like sapphires."
"..."
Jiang Chen looked at it with puppy eyes. "Little cat, can I please pet you?"
Xiao Naofu pouted and arrogantly sat on its haunches, coldly rejecting him.
'Heh. You don't even have dried fish jerky, don't even think about touching its fur!'
And Jiang Chen's reaction was: "Ah, it's so cute when it sticks its b.u.t.t in the air!"
Xiao Naofu raised a question mark.
…
Twenty minutes later, breakfast was served.
Lifting the steamer made out of wood, the steam escaped and fogged up the room, revealing delicate shrimp dumplings inside after the steam dissipated. The wrapper of the dumplings was thin and transparent and white as snow, with shrimp and green bamboo shoots filling peeking through. Each dumpling contained two shrimps, stuffing it into a round and adorable shape.
Inside the electric crockpot was a milky white and viscous fish soup. A fresh crucian carp had been slightly fried to get the white soup color, mixed with ginger and cooking wine to get rid of the gamey smell. The soup was delicious and perfectly cooked so that it could make one salivate at glance.
Li Jianyu cooked a large pot of rice noodles and added some sides and fish soup based on his own tastes before mixing them well.
Recently, Li Jianyu had consumed several of Xiang Yi's meals and had become more reserved. He placed two steamed baskets of shrimp dumplings in front of Jiang Chen and the others. "Eat up, the recording will be tiresome later."
The boys recalled Xiang Qi's threats and weakly looked toward him.
"..." He paused for a moment and clutched his chopsticks.
On the outside, he was arrogant and condescending.
But his heart was roaring loudly.
It's! So! Good!!!
It's his little sister! It has to be his little sister!!!
In a good mood, Xiang Qi looked toward the little brats which seemed much more pleasing to the eye. Compared with his nonchalance just now, his tone could almost be called kind, "Eat up, eat up. I was just scaring you, did you think I was serious?"
The boys: "..."
'Senior, you weren't just scaring us, it was more like a threat, okay…'
The boys carefully tasted a shrimp dumpling...
"!"
Everyone's eyes lit up as they slowed down their chewing speed to prolong the deliciousness in their mouths for a while longer.
"Wow..." Someone gulped as the eyes of all the boys turned red.
Li Jianyu was taken aback. "What's wrong?? Was it so good you're crying??"
