Chapter 197 Why did Xue Li come?
"This thing is quite new. I have never seen it before." Song Li looked at the double-flavored pot and thought about asking Li Mingxia if he could imitate this pot. Just like him and his mother, he likes to eat meat soup, but his mother likes to eat dishes cooked in clear water. His mother also likes to eat with him. If he had this pot, wouldn't it be a lot more convenient?
"If you like it, I have a new one here. You can take it back when you go back in the evening as a thank you for the gifts you brought today." Li Mingxia said with a smile.
The things Song Li brought were placed on the table in the main room. Although Li Mingxia did not count them, he could roughly estimate the value. It was probably around one hundred taels.
Thinking of this, Li Mingxia was a little curious. How many things did Xue Li give to Li Zhengxue? And what was the purpose?
"Thank you so much." Song Li didn't expect Li Mingxia to take the initiative to offer to give him the pot, so he said with a smile.
"The things I gave were all common and vulgar things. I don't think Miss Li would be interested in that little bit of silver now. This pot is a real good thing. It is a good thing that no one has ever seen before. Miss Li is willing to give it to me. I am very happy."
Li Mingxia raised his eyebrows and took out a large paper bag from his arms. "Inside is the candy you liked to eat at that time. My two sisters haven't finished their teeth yet, so they can't eat too much. That's why I didn't give it to you in person. There's quite a lot in this paper bag, enough for you to eat for a long time."
Song Li didn't expect that his little action was seen by Li Mingxia. He felt a little embarrassed when looking at the candy bun in front of him. He really felt embarrassed, but he also really wanted to take it.
"Keep it. Zhengde and I also like to eat candy on a daily basis." Seeing that Song Lixiang wanted to take it but didn't want to, Li Mingxia handed the paper bag to him.
"Thank you very much, Miss Li." Song Li walked down the stairs and accepted the bag of candy, feeling the heavy weight in his pocket. Although he hadn't put it in his mouth yet, for some reason, he seemed to have tasted the sweetness.
Li Mingxia first took out the sauerkraut from the casserole, stirred it evenly, then poured the sauerkraut soup into it, and then added the boiling beef oil. The spicy aroma swept over almost instantly.
"Is this a spicy dish? I've had something similar tasted at Yaoxianlou. Although it was good, I didn't think it was amazing. It's strange. I've never had that flavor before, but I just feel like something is wrong." Song Li touched his head, moved closer to the simmered hot pot in front of him, and looked at it carefully.
Li Mingxia didn't say anything, but just looked at the two kinds of soup in the pot intently. After making sure there was no problem, he called out to Li Zhengpin to come in and bring the pot.
"It's too heavy. I can't lift it." Li Mingxia said to Song Li.
"Who did Miss Li learn to make this spicy dish from? I remember that only Yaoxianlou has a few such dishes. Could it be that Miss Li knows the owner of Yaoxianlou?" Song Li asked.
Li Mingxia was confused by this question. He was neither in a position to nod nor not to nod. "I do know him, but I didn't learn how to make this spicy dish from him. I know how to make it myself. But thank you. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it."
Li Mingxia thought that if he saw Xiao Tianyue in the next two days, he would have to have a good talk with him about this matter. If he didn't learn how to make this spicy dish by stealing it from him, no one would believe it. Since he did learn how to make it by stealing it from him, he couldn't just make a profit for free. He should at least give him some benefits.
"As for what you said about the taste feeling a little off, I guess you haven't learned it well enough. It only has spicy taste, but no fragrance." Li Mingxia thought about it. He had never leaked his cooking recipes. Even if Xiao Tianyue wanted to learn it, it would be very good if he could learn 60% or 70%. It was impossible for him to learn it 100%.
"Is that so? That's such a waste of my money. If I had known this, I would have begged Brother Zhengde to bring him to my place for a meal." Song Li looked at Li Mingxia and guessed what was going on. He said thoughtfully.
Li Mingxia did not continue talking along the lines of what he said.
"Brother, is the small stove I asked you to prepare ready?" As Li Mingxia spoke, he saw Li Zhengpin who hurriedly walked in and asked quickly.
"Get ready, little sister. It seems like it's going to snow soon." There was a hint of joy in Li Zhengpin's voice.
"Really? I thought it would take a few more days, but it's snowing so early!" Li Mingxia said in surprise.
Li Zhengpin picked up the pot and the three of them walked outside.
Li Zhengpin first went back to the main room to help Zhang prepare the vegetables and meat. Li Mingxia and Song Li came to the door one after another.
"The weather is getting warmer." Li Mingxia murmured.
Before every heavy snowfall, the weather will become unusually warm. Li Mingxia is very experienced in this.
The sky was dark. It shouldn't have been completely dark at this hour, but today it was difficult to see the scenery outside the yard clearly.
"If it snows heavily today, Mr. Song, please stay overnight. But there is no vacant room at home, so you and Zhengde can only share a room." Li Mingxia turned around and looked at Song Li who was standing beside him and said.
If this snow falls tonight, it will definitely be a heavy snow. In such weather, Song Li had to leave in a carriage. Li Mingxia was obviously a little worried.
but……
Li Mingxia looked up at the sky. It was most likely that it would not rain tonight. Even if it was going to rain, it would probably be tomorrow.
"How can this be considered a grievance? What you said has me looking forward to the snow falling tonight. That way, tomorrow morning I can have a meal with you openly again, right? Hahahahahahaha."
Song Li deliberately said something funny, which made Li Mingxia laugh.
"Do you know why Xue Li came here today?" Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, Song Li told Li Mingxia his speculation.
Li Mingxia shook her head. She really didn't know. She even
I don't know this Xue Li, and he is Li Zhengxue's friend, so how would I know why he came?
Song Li pursed his lips and said, "Although I don't have any definite evidence, in my opinion, I think Xue Li came here today for you."
Li Mingxia was stunned. Came for her? What was he talking about? What did this have to do with anything?
"But I have never offended this person, nor do I have any grudges against him. His attitude towards me just now was pretty good."
