Chapter 402 Increase
But before they finished dinner, a light rain started to fall outside.
Several people rushed in from the rain, all wet.
"Lord Qi?"
Everyone quickly stood up and greeted people, some took dry towels, and some went to fetch hot water.
"Mother-in-law, I just came back from outside. Unfortunately, it rained a little on the way. I'll take shelter here for a while."
"Oh, look at how wet you are, sir. Wash yourself with hot water first. I'll have someone go to the kitchen to make you some ginger soup to get rid of the cold."
Qi Rui tried to stop him, but failed.
Old Mrs. Zhou went to the kitchen swiftly.
Qi Rui looked at the scene in the restaurant and felt quite annoyed.
He wanted to hide for a while, but he didn't expect to disturb their meal.
"My Lord, have you had your dinner yet?"
Zhou Mingshu, with hot and sour potato noodle soup still on his lips, opened his eyes wide and asked Qi Rui who was washing beside him in a daze.
"Mingshu, not yet. What are you eating? It smells so good."
Qi Rui was completely soaked by the rain. Although he was not as wet as a drowned chicken, he looked very disheveled. Even his hair was a little messy, with a few bangs hanging down. His masculine charm was revealed everywhere, and Zhou Mingshu was stunned.
"Ah? I'm eating potato flour, sir. Why don't you have some too? I made a lot tonight."
"Potato flour? Is this a new food I haven't tried before?"
"Yes, my sisters and I just made it today."
Qi Rui threw down the towel in his hand, looked at his subordinates' greedy faces, and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, then everyone can have one bowl."
Hearing that the adults wanted to eat, Zhou Mingshu went to the kitchen to get a bowl.
The Zhou family has a lot of manpower and is fast, so it only takes a short while to get everything ready.
"Okay, come and eat, it's hot, be careful not to burn your mouth."
Zhou Mingshu invited everyone to come and eat.
Every autumn rain brings a chill. People will feel cold after being caught in the rain. It is best to eat something hot to warm up the body.
"Sir, what did you do? Why did you come back so late and were in the rain for so long?"
Without waiting for Qi Rui to answer, Old Lady Zhou pulled Zhou Mingshu away.
"Look at you, girl. Go back and eat your meal. Don't ask about what the adults are doing. They are all confidential."
Old Mrs. Zhou's tone was so serious that even Zhou Mingshu was frightened, but Qi Rui started laughing.
"Mother-in-law, it's okay, it's not a big deal. I took my subordinates to the county town to do some errands, and I accidentally missed the time to come back."
"So that's how it is, sir. You must calculate the time when you go to the county town in the future. The days here will become shorter and shorter, and the nights will gradually become longer and longer."
"Okay, I will."
Qi Rui had some idea in his mind, but who knew that the weather would change so suddenly, leaving them no preparation at all.
When they were halfway through their journey, the sky suddenly became terribly gloomy.
No matter how hard they tried, they still couldn't escape.
Qi Rui and his men originally wanted to charge all the way and then return to the military defense camp to reorganize.
But when he passed by here and saw the brightly lit restaurant full of the atmosphere of fireworks, he changed his mind.
Stop and have a hot meal before going on.
Stop and meet the man before going back, even though he is a little embarrassed now.
The spicy and sour potato noodles in front of me tasted really amazing, but a little spicy.
However, without the spiciness, it would lack some of Zhou Mingshu's flavor.
After eating a few mouthfuls of vermicelli, Qi Rui felt warm all over.
There is no need to drink that damn ginger soup anymore.
Everyone was slurping the vermicelli in their bowls, and Zhou Mingshu was also eating happily.
Soon, they looked pitifully at Qi Rui who was enjoying the food with their sausage-like lips.
"What's wrong? Are you not full?" Qi Rui looked up and saw their pug-like expressions, and couldn't help but ask.
Rufeng looked at the brothers beside him and nodded for them.
Qi Rui glanced at them with disdain and motioned Rufeng to ask if there was any more. If there was, it would not be a problem to serve another bowl.
Rufeng plucked up the courage to ask, and unexpectedly got a positive answer.
How could Old Mrs. Zhou not let them eat their fill? She took them directly to the kitchen and let them serve themselves.
There was not much vermicelli left in the pot, but there were still plenty of quail eggs and meatballs.
"You can eat it first. If it's not enough, I'll cook more for you. Just throw the noodles in and blanch them in water and you can eat them. It's quick."
As Mrs. Zhou spoke, she stuffed a handful of firewood into the bottom of the pot, and after Rufeng and the others had served their food, she threw in a few handfuls of vermicelli.
These kids are all young men. When their appetites are really big, they can eat not only two but even three or four bowls of rice.
"There are steamed buns here. If you want to eat, just help yourself. As much as you can!"
Anyway, Lord Qi is paying the bill, so they can eat as much as they want.
They are running a business, why would they chase away the God of Wealth?
Zhou Mingshu had already finished his meal and came over to help after a quick cleanup.
"Grandma, go eat first. If you don't eat now, it will get cold. I'll cook the remaining vermicelli."
"Okay, then you watch the fire at the bottom of the pot, I'll go right away."
Zhou Mingshu took a look and cracked a few more eggs into the pot. They were cold and hungry, so just let them eat to their heart's content.
