Chapter 529 - 411: Sorry, Mr. Shi
Ning Youguang put down the seasoning in her hand.
She looked up and saw the doubt in Shi Wangyue’s eyes, raised her eyebrows lightly, "What? You don’t dare to eat the lamb I bought?"
"Not at all, not at all." Shi Wangyue’s eyes darted.
Realizing it, he laughed and said, "Why wouldn’t I dare to eat it? The meat looks quite good to me, the packaging is also decent..."
"Such nonsense." Ning Youguang pouted, continued unpacking and explained, "I bought this from a shepherd’s livestream. He said these lambs are all raised by his family. I don’t know if he’s deceiving me or not, but whether he is or not, shepherds have a tough time, so I figured I’d support them a little. Anyway, we need lamb for consumption, and the price is just regular market rate..."
"Mm." Shi Wangyue nodded, "I’ll take a look once it’s unpacked. If it’s edible, we’ll eat it. If not, we won’t."
"Sure." Ning Youguang didn’t insist on eating the lamb.
If the lamb she bought isn’t good, and Shi Wangyue won’t eat it, she wouldn’t force him.
Everyone has their own standards of living.
She doesn’t find the meat "unacceptable," and she can’t fault him for thinking it’s "unacceptable."
After all, the kid is more important than the lamb.
If she has to choose between the two, she’d certainly choose him.
Satisfied, Shi Wangyue continued helping with unpacking the deliveries.
He just unpacked a big box of delicacies bought by Ning Youguang.
Seeing the packaging, he thought it looked good. Looking closely at the contents, he found deer antler fungus, boletus, mushrooms like agaricus, bamboo fungus, and chanterelles.
"What you bought is quite good." Shi Wangyue said, "You can stir-fry, make hot pot, stew soup, or dry pot with it."
Ning Youguang turned to Shi Wangyue and the box he was holding, "Oh, then I’ll leave it to you to figure out how to use them."
—"When I bought them, I just thought of stewing soup, didn’t think of anything else."
Shi Wangyue chuckled, "Alright, can I unpack it and have a look?"
"Go ahead, go ahead." Ning Youguang nodded generously.
Shi is indeed a good hand in the kitchen.
He is also a connoisseur when it comes to food ingredients.
Ning Youguang opened another delivery box, she burst out laughing as soon as she opened it.
She quickly called Shi Wangyue over, "Look, what did I buy this time?"
Shi Wangyue, who was studying the quality of the delicacies, looked up in surprise, "Why did you buy an air fryer? Don’t we already have one?"
"The color of that one, I think it doesn’t match our kitchen." Ning Youguang said, "And this one is different from the previous one, it’s the latest version. Everyone online says it’s a magic appliance."
Shi Wangyue asked curiously, "What’s magical about it?"
Ning Youguang, holding the newly bought creamy white air fryer, explained attentively, "They say you can put any vegetables, meat, shrimp, really anything inside and it’ll cook, without needing any oil."
"?" Shi Wangyue.
If he remembers correctly, the air fryer he bought earlier was also supposed to cook anything without oil.
His mixed feelings were invisible to Ning Youguang.
She was enthusiastically asking, "What do you think of the quality of this fryer?"
"It’s okay."
It does look pretty nice.
Ning Youguang also felt extremely satisfied.
She pointed at the buttons on the fryer, studying them while muttering, "Steak, vegetables, shrimp, chicken drumsticks, cake... temperature, time, look how clearly they’re labeled, two buttons, throw things in, and it’s all done, simple, convenient, very useful."
Shi Wangyue was speechless, looking up at the sky...
Forget it, he really shouldn’t expect any high culinary skills from someone who only knows how to stew soup, brew coffee, fry eggs, fry ham or sausages, and mix mush with boiling water.
"Did you buy it from a livestream too?"
"Yeah." Ning Youguang laughed, "I was watching Granny Xie’s Douyin video a few days ago, and when I exited, I accidentally swiped to this livestream channel. It was incredibly popular; everyone was grabbing one of these fryers. I thought it looked good and impulsively got one for just ¥199. Isn’t it a bargain?"
Shi Wangyue nodded, chuckling, "Really quite a bargain."
Once they finished unpacking all the deliveries.
Shi Wangyue found out that most of what Ning Youguang bought was food, and the rest were lively red decorations like lanterns, couplets, door stickers, and window paper-cuts.
"It’s New Year, we need to use various bright red elements to light up every corner of our new home, so we can have a house full of festive atmosphere." Holding a red lantern, Ning Youguang said cheerfully, "It’s just the two of us for New Year in our home, but we can’t let the holiday spirit be lacking at all."
