Chapter 568 Eating hot pot with Xiao Ai
On this day, in Shuangye Kindergarten, Xiaoai and Nini were chatting about some food issues.
Heiji hid in the bushes nearby.
Suddenly, Nini cried out in surprise: "What! I can't believe it!"
"What's wrong?" Mingxu walked over. He was enjoying the sun just now, but was suddenly startled by Nini's voice, so he walked over to take a look.
"Nini, what happened?" Fengjian and the others also ran over and asked Nini.
"Xiao Ai actually said that she has never eaten any mixed hotpot." Nini turned to her friends and said.
"What is that?" Xiao Ai looked at everyone curiously and asked.
"Assorted hotpot is made by adding meat, seafood and many vegetables together and cooking them all in one pot. It is a very delicious dish." Zhengnan said immediately when he heard Xiaoai's question.
"We sometimes add rice cakes to the dish at home," Fengjian added.
"If you eat hotpot, your body will warm up." Ah Dai nodded.
"Our family has been eating hot pot every day recently." Xiaoxin said casually.
"Indeed." Mingxu's mouth twitched when he thought of this. Recently, Meiya suddenly remembered to organize the refrigerator, and then she took out a lot of expiring food from the refrigerator. She was too lazy to cook, so she just used it to make hot pot.
"Look, everyone eats it often." Nini looked at Xiao Ai and said with some pride. In her opinion, she defeated Xiao Ai in some aspects!
"Since you all say so, Xiao Ai also wants to try it." Xiao Ai spread her hands when she heard that.
"In that case, since you are close to Xiaoxin and Xiaoxu, why don't you go to their house for dinner?" Nini suggested immediately.
"Ah?" Xiao Xin was stunned.
"I don't care." Mingxu shrugged. After all, Xiaoai had come to his house last time, but he was not at home that time. I heard that Guangzhi and the others were in a state of confusion.
"Oh, it seems that you occasionally have some good ideas." Xiao Ai looked at Nini and immediately praised: "Then Brother Xiaoxu, Master Xiaoxin, I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter." Xiao Ai turned her head and looked at the two of them eagerly.
"Um, that's fine." Mingxu nodded and agreed. It was just a hotpot meal, no big deal.
"Ah, hey, why do you want to go to our house?" Xiao Xin looked at Ming Xu in confusion, not understanding why he agreed.
"Okay, it's decided then!" Xiao Ai made up her mind without further ado and walked away with Heiji.
"Okay, it's just a meal, no big deal." Mingxu shrugged.
Not long after, after returning home from kindergarten, he told Mei-ya the news.
"Ah? You said Xiao Ai is coming to our house to eat hot pot?" Mei Ya asked in surprise, "Why did she suddenly say she wanted to come?"
"There's nothing I can do. I don't know why they started talking about this, but it turned out like this." Mingxu spread his hands.
"But Xiaoxu agreed very straightforwardly." Xiaoxin added.
"But after eating hot pot yesterday, we have almost used up all the ingredients at home, so we have to go out to buy some. Really, Xiaoxu, why did you agree to this?" Meiya sighed. She liked Xiaoai but also worried about her.
"There's no other way, just go out and buy it." Mingxu shrugged.
"This is the only way. Let's go, two little masters." Mei Ya rolled her eyes at them.
"Here I come, my lady mother."
"Tsk, you guys are so boring." Shin-chan complained.
However, as soon as they opened the door and walked out, they ran into Xiao Ai and her group who had just arrived. Why did they say "them"? Because Xiao Ai came with her group of bodyguards.
Looking at the group of people in black suits next to her custom-made vehicle, Meiya was also shocked: "What is this!"
"It's Xiao Ai." Mingxu said with a twitch of his mouth. What a grand ceremony.
"Xiao Ai is here." Mingxu shouted when he saw Xiao Ai getting out of the car.
"Brother Xiaoxu, Master Xiaoxin, Xiaoai is looking forward to eating hotpot, so I couldn't help but come here so early." Xiaoai looked at them and said with a smile, then looked at Meiya carrying the basket and asked curiously, "Are you going out?"
"Sorry, we've run out of ingredients for the hot pot, so we were just about to go out and buy some more." Meiya smiled awkwardly. Looking at the group of people in black suits behind Xiaoai, Meiya always had a feeling that they were ready to go.
"Really? Then Xiao Ai will go with you." Xiao Ai said happily when she heard that.
"Um, this... Xiaoxu..." Meiya looked at Mingxu.
"It's not impossible." Mingxu nodded.
"Ah?" Shin-chan and Misaya were stunned.
"Okay, then you all get in the car together." Xiao Ai invited them to get in the car and drove towards Sato Kyujido. A group of people in black suits surrounded the car and jogged along.
"For Sato Kyuukidō, it should be okay to go this way, right?" Kuroiso asked while driving.
"Um... yes, okay." Meiya said awkwardly. She really felt awkward in this situation.
Xiao Xin was very happy and kept shouting out the window. He felt like the president was traveling.
Xiao Ai smiled at Xiao Xin. Ming Xu sat there calmly, without any change.
After arriving at Sato Kyuukido, Misaya felt uncomfortable with a group of people in black suits following her.
"Welcome, ma'am. You will get a discount today as well." At this time, a salesperson saw Mei Ya and shouted.
"Uh..." Meiya pretended not to hear and walked away, afraid that they would notice that they bought cheap fish here every day. Mingxu shook his head, thinking that he would suffer for his face.
"Hey, brother, what fish do you recommend today?" Xiao Xin didn't have this idea and asked directly.
“Shad.” The salesperson said with a smile.
"Come here!" Meiya grabbed Xiaoxin and walked away. The boss looked at them in surprise. Mingxu bowed slightly and turned away.
After arriving at the more upscale food section, Meiya felt heartbroken when she saw the food here, but she still forced a smile and asked, "What kind of hot pot does Xiaoai like to eat?"
"Please let mother decide." Xiao Ai said with a smile.
"But, there are so many types, I don't know what to choose..." Meiya was a little worried. This one is too expensive, I don't want to choose it, and that one is not cheap either.
"Well, Mr. Shop Assistant," Xiao Ai turned around and shouted when she heard that.
"Welcome." The clerk hurried over upon hearing that. He felt like he was about to receive a big order.
"From here to here, give it all to me." Xiao Ai said after drawing a line.
"Ah?!" Meiya was shocked when she saw this.
"When I don't know what to buy, I just buy them all. This is what my grandfather gave me." Xiao Ai said with a smile.
The clerk looked at Meiya with some embarrassment. Meiya waved her hand to let him go, and then quickly selected one: "Cod is ready."
"A frozen box is 855, and three fresh slices are 1,400. There's a huge difference... But actually the taste isn't that different, so I'll just go with the cheaper one. But, hey, it's so troublesome..." Meiya was in a dilemma.
"You are worthy of being a mother. You are so careful in selecting ingredients." Xiao Ai looked at Meiya with admiration.
"..You have misunderstood a little." Mingxu was speechless. Meiya was just hesitant.
"Mom, I want to eat crabs." Xiaoxin shouted while looking at the crabs beside him.
"Ah? Then buy one cup. Only one cup!" Meiya was stunned for a moment, but did not stop him and nodded.
"Okay~" Xiaoxin nodded, then grabbed a few crabs and put them into the car basket.
"Wait! I told you only one cup, what are you doing?" Meiya hurriedly stopped him when she saw this, then looked at Mingxu and found that he was talking to Xiaoai, and then blinked at her. It seemed that Xiaoxu was holding Xiaoai back and not letting her pay attention to this side.
Thinking of this, Meiya hurriedly took out the crabs that Xiaoxin brought in, leaving only one.
"The unit for crabs is not one or two, but cup. One cup means one crab!" Misae warned Shin-chan.
"What a hassle." Shin-chan shook his head.
"Hey, are mother and Master Xiaoxin buying crabs?" Xiao Ai asked in confusion when she turned around and saw them.
"Uh...yeah."
"Master Shin-chan, do you like crabs?"
"I love it."
"Then Xiao Ai likes it very much too!" Xiao Ai said without hesitation when she saw this. Meiya's mouth twitched and she put another one in. Then she saw Mingxu and sighed. Forget it, just spend money this time. At worst, Xiaoxu can pay for it!
So, they packed up several crabs and then bought some ingredients before going to pay.
Meiya motioned Mingxu to come forward.
Hei Ji hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and took out a black card and said, "If you don't mind, please use this."
"No need. I'm just treating my sister to a meal." Mingxu waved his hand. He didn't care about this little money at all. He could use his royalties to eat every day if he wanted.
After buying the ingredients, they got in the car again and went home to prepare cooking, while the group of people in black suits lined up and sat in the corridor.
Not long after, Guangzhi returned home and was shocked when he saw this scene when he opened the door.
"What's going on?" Guangzhi looked at him speechlessly. Could it be that he was involved in another incident?
"Dad, come in, Xiaoai is here to have dinner with us." Mingxu poked his head out from the living room and waved to Guangzhi.
"Oh, so that's how it is." Guangzhi was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
When I came to the living room, Meiya had already prepared all the ingredients.
Then I put everything in the pot in the living room, turned on the gas and started cooking.
"If you don't mind, Mr. Kuroiso, please come and eat with us," Hiroshi invited.
"Sorry, I can't do that." Hei Ji shook his head.
"It's okay, Dad. I'm prepared." Mingxu shook his head.
Meiya was preparing hotpot, and the takeaway ordered by Mingxu had also arrived, which was for the group of people in black suits outside.
"You should eat something later." Mingxu whispered to Heiji after preparing meals for the group of people outside.
"But.."
"It's okay." Mingxu waved his hand and sat down.
As the pot slowly cooked, a fragrance began to spread.
Soon, Meiya opened the lid of the pot, revealing the full load of ingredients inside, especially the crabs, which were particularly eye-catching.
"Wow~"
“It looks delicious.”
"Then I'm going to start~" everyone shouted together.
"Come on, Xiaoai, don't be polite." Meiya picked up the spoon and put some ingredients into Xiaoai's bowl.
"Yeah, Heiji." Xiao Ai said, looking at Heiji.
"Yes!" Heiji took out a set of tableware and handed it to Xiaoai. It was a pair of silver chopsticks, fork, and a spoon.
"We're eating hotpot with silverware." Guangzhi was stunned.
"You are indeed Xiao Ai."
"Okay, let's eat then."
This time Heiji didn't say much. After all, the head of the family didn't say much after knowing the news. He just watched quietly from the side.
Mingxu picked up the spoon and poured a bowl for Heiji, then motioned for Guangzhi to pass it over.
"Well, thank you." Heiji nodded, turned his back and started eating quickly. However, seeing his disheveled appearance, he didn't eat very fast because it was very hot after all!
Everyone enjoyed the meal very much. The guys in black suits outside also enjoyed the meal very much. They didn’t expect that the host hadn’t forgotten them.
After eating all of this, Mei Ya made the soup base into porridge, and everyone was very satisfied with it.
After dinner, Xiao Ai stayed for a while before leaving reluctantly at Heiji's urging.
