Chapter 1528: Drunk

Ge Junlei had just spoken when he received a glare from his wife.

"Couldn’t find it." Mo Hongying said gloomily.

Then she began to dig in heartily.

If she could buy it, she would. Even if it means eating hotpot at home every day, she’d be happy, as long as it’s as good as today’s hotpot.

But she witnessed firsthand the origin of this hotpot.

Not to mention anything else, just the broth—Gu Lingling spent almost half the day simmering lamb bone broth to make it.

With that kind of patience, Mo Hongying didn’t think she and Ge Junlei had it.

Plus, the ingredients for the base, how much to use, and when to put them in, all have steps. Mo Hongying initially thought she could remember, but later panicked.

Forget it; she had decisively abandoned any hope of learning it.

She’s probably born without the cooking genes, so even if someone teaches her hand in hand, she still can’t do it.

Just like the pilaf they ate at noon.

Seems easy, but if she were to make it now, she still wouldn’t be able to.

Oh well, if she wants hotpot in the future, she might as well go to Gu Lingling’s restaurant in Qin City to eat.

The taste is slightly worse than today’s, but compared to others, it’s already very good.

Ge Junlei, upon hearing the complexities involved, decisively stopped asking.

"Sister-in-law is really amazing." So young, yet so good at cooking.

"Yunhai is lucky." Political Commissar Liang said, patting Yang Yunhai on the shoulder with a smile.

Yang Yunhai smiled and continued to serve dishes to Gu Lingling.

The men each had another glass of wine.

The wine was brought from home by Mo Hongying, Moutai and a bottle of red wine.

"Come on, little girl, have some too." Mo Hongying poured a glass for Fan Cuiling, "Red wine is good for complexion, a little won’t hurt."

"Okay, I want to drink." Fan Cuiling said happily.

Political Commissar Liang originally wanted to stop her, but seeing her excitement, he said nothing more.

It would be okay to carry her back if she gets drunk later.

Fan Cuiling took a sip first, surprised that the liquor was spicy, a bit sweet, and felt quite good.

So, she took another sip.

Really delicious.

Zhang Lanfang also enjoyed a rare moment of relaxation today.

Yuanyuan, who had eaten earlier than them, had already gone to sleep in Gu Lingling’s room.

No need to watch the child.

"You have some too." Wang Peijun toasted her, "You’ve worked hard these years."

With those words, Zhang Lanfang was moved to tears.

Since giving birth to Yuanyuan, she hadn’t had a break, and her mother-in-law favors boys over girls. Fortunately, Wang Peijun supports her, but even so, she still feels tremendous pressure.

With Wang Peijun’s words, she felt like it was all worth it.

"Look at you, why are you doing this?" Wang Peijun awkwardly scratched the back of his head, "Come on, cheers."

He then downed the drink in his cup with a red face.

Zhang Lanfang followed suit with her glass of red wine.

For a moment, only the bubbling sound of the hotpot was audible.

"I want to drink more." Fan Cuiling suddenly shouted.

"This girl... could she be drunk?" Mo Hongying looked both amused and exasperated, "How did she quietly finish a whole glass? She really shouldn’t drink more, red wine has strong aftereffects."

"No, I want to drink. Give it to me!" Fan Cuiling insisted, "I’m not drunk, I’m perfectly sober, and I want to eat more hotpot."

Mo Hongying, "..."

"Alright, stop drinking." Political Commissar Liang helplessly took her wine glass away, "Have something to eat instead."
