230: Chapter 230 Deja Vu 230: Chapter 230 Deja Vu Just as Chen Yang lifted the lid and was putting rabbit meat and the like into the pot, Yang Ruoxi came in with wild mushrooms in hand.

Seeing that the seasonings and rabbit meat had all been sliced, Yang Ruoxi’s eyes immediately widened.

“Chen Yang, you’re too fast, aren’t you?

I’ve just finished washing the mushrooms, and you’ve got everything ready.”

Hearing her voice, Chen Yang turned to look at her.

He couldn’t help but laugh.

“It’s not that I’m quick, it’s clearly you who’s slow, okay?

It took you more than an hour to wash some mushrooms.”

Yang Ruoxi immediately felt a bit embarrassed.

“I just wanted to wash them clean, okay?

These wild mushrooms are such a hassle to clean,” Ruoxi complained, pouting slightly, a hint of dissatisfaction in her voice.

Chen Yang smiled and then pulled her over, “You help me put the meat into the pot; I’ll go out and buy some drinks and come back.”

“Okay, go and come back quickly.”

Hearing that he was going to buy drinks, Yang Ruoxi readily agreed.

On such a hot day, how could one manage to eat hot pot without some drinks?

After entrusting the task of adding meat to the pot to Yang Ruoxi, Chen Yang quickly left the house and headed straight for Uncle Niu’s at the head of the village.

Arriving at Uncle Niu’s, Chen Yang immediately smelled the aroma of food.

Glancing inside, he saw Uncle Niu sitting in front of the TV in his house, savoring his food with a little drink.

“Uncle Niu, are you eating?”

Chen Yang knocked on the door.

Uncle Niu turned his head upon hearing the knock.

Upon seeing Chen Yang, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

“Yang Zi!”

Uncle Niu put down his wine glass and came over.

“Coming over so late, something on your mind?”

Chen Yang smiled and nodded, “Nothing much, just came to buy some cold drinks from you.”

“Cold drinks?”

Uncle Niu was slightly taken aback, then turned his head to look at the freezer in his house.

“That’s a bit unfortunate, I’ve sold out of all the cold drinks,”

“All sold out?”

Chen Yang was a bit surprised.

“Yep, with the weather so hot, drinks are selling fast,” Uncle Niu nodded.

Chen Yang was somewhat disheartened.

Having hot pot without drinks, wouldn’t that be unbearably hot?

But since Uncle Niu’s place was out, there was nothing he could do but head back.

However, just as Chen Yang was about to turn and leave, Uncle Niu suddenly said, “I’m out of cold drinks, but I still have some cold beer, want some?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang immediately turned back.

“Then let’s have some cold beer!”

“You got it.”

Uncle Niu chuckled, then promptly went to the fridge and fetched all the cold beer he had.

Chen Yang took the beer, paid, and then left.

Back home, Yang Ruoxi saw Chen Yang return with the beer, and her face immediately clouded over.

“Didn’t you say you were buying drinks?

How come it turned into beer?”

Chen Yang placed the beer next to the dining table and dusted off his hands, “There were no drinks for sale at the head of the village.

Only beer.”

“How is that possible, the store ran out of drinks and only had beer?

You did that on purpose, didn’t you?” Yang Ruoxi eyed Chen Yang skeptically, as if she had seen through everything.

The way Yang Ruoxi looked at him made Chen Yang laugh.

“If it was on purpose, would I have specifically told you I was going out to buy drinks?” Chen Yang laughed.

“That’s also true,” Ruoxi paused, then didn’t pursue the matter about the beer any further.

Right then, her mind was all on having a good meal as soon as possible.

“Chen Yang, come and check how much longer the meat needs to cook,” Yang Ruoxi called Chen Yang while lifting the pot lid.

Chen Yang stepped forward in two strides and glanced into the pot.

At this moment, the ingredients in the pot, including the meat, hadn’t changed color yet.

“At least another hour,” Chen Yang thought for a moment before saying.

“An hour?

That’s way too long!” Yang Ruoxi was a bit disappointed.

“No way around it if you want the meat to be tender, juicy, and flavorful, it has to cook that long.”

Chen Yang explained.

“Alright then.”

Hearing Chen Yang explain that way, Yang Ruoxi didn’t say anything more.

She turned and pulled over a couple of stools from the other room, then sat with Chen Yang in front of the pot, starting to wait.

This hour was particularly long for Yang Ruoxi.

It felt like a century had passed.

Several times she opened the pot lid to check.

And several more times, she drooled at the smell of the meat.

She was the spitting image of a little gluttonous kitten.

Soon, an hour had passed.

This time, it was Chen Yang who lifted the lid off the pot.

As soon as the lid moved, a strong aroma of meat wafted out from the pot.

The rich scent filled the entire room in just a few seconds.

“Wow!

It smells so good!”

Yang Ruoxi’s eyes widened in astonishment, and then she quickly took out the bowl and chopsticks she had prepared, starting to pick meat from the boiling broth.

She grabbed a particularly large piece of meat on her first attempt.

Then, unable to wait any longer, she stuffed it into her mouth to taste.

But before she could savor it properly, she immediately spat the meat out.

“Wow!

It’s so hot, so hot!

Chen Yang, where’s the beer?”

Yang Ruoxi hopped about, scalded.

Chen Yang couldn’t help but laugh, and then quickly went into the inner room, opened a bottle of beer, and handed it to her.

“I told you not to be so greedy; now you’ve burned yourself.”

Yang Ruoxi was scalded terribly.

She took the ice-cold beer and guzzled it down.

Drinking it like water.

With one gulp, she downed half the bottle.

Chen Yang watched, somewhat stunned.

However, after finishing the beer, Yang Ruoxi didn’t notice Chen Yang’s expression.

Once her mouth wasn’t burning anymore, she immediately picked up her bowl and chopsticks again and started snatching meat from the pot.

But this time, she wasn’t as hasty as before.

Before eating, she knew to carefully blow on it, waiting until it cooled down before taking a bite.

“Mmm…

it tastes so good, it was worth the wait!”

After one bite of meat, she immediately praised it.

Seeing her satisfied face, Chen Yang felt quite happy inside.

“If it’s tasty, eat more, there’s plenty left,” Chen Yang said with a smile.

“Yeah, yeah, you eat too,” Yang Ruoxi responded without any hesitation, reaching out to grab more meat.

As she picked up meat, she urged Chen Yang to join her.

By this time, Chen Yang was hungry too.

So he also began to feast heartily.

The two of them ate the hot pot and drank cold beer, spending a very comfortable evening.

Not only was the meat in the pot nearly gone, but all the beer Chen Yang had bought was also finished.

And most of it had been drunk by Yang Ruoxi.

It wasn’t that Yang Ruoxi liked to drink, but in summer, hot pot paired with ice-cold beer was just too refreshing.

After drinking the beer and eating the meat,

It was now around eleven or twelve at night.

Chen Yang looked at Yang Ruoxi, whose face was slightly red and who was showing signs of drunkenness, and couldn’t help but laugh.

“Why does your face turn red from just a little bit of alcohol?”

Yang Ruoxi, somewhat dazed, looked up at Chen Yang.

“Who says my face gets red with just a little drink, didn’t you see I drank a lot?” Yang Ruoxi retorted.

Chen Yang burst into laughter, “That beer isn’t strong, and you only had six bottles.”

Hearing this, Yang Ruoxi immediately became defiant.

“Humph, who are you to look down on?

My tolerance for alcohol is quite good; it’s just that you don’t know,” Yang Ruoxi said with indignation.

Chen Yang chuckled without saying anything.

“Hey, you don’t believe me, right?

Then let’s drink some more, to see who’s better!” Yang Ruoxi, her face misty, grabbed Chen Yang’s hand, ready for another round.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang’s first thought was, why does this sound so familiar?

He quickly remembered that last time when he drank with Wu Kexin, it was also because she was unwilling to concede.

In the end, didn’t she end up thoroughly beaten?

“No, no, I admit you’re the better drinker,” Chen Yang said with a smile.

“Tsk!

Coward.”

Once Chen Yang backed down, Yang Ruoxi immediately puffed herself up with pride.
