He was carrying quite a lot of stuff, and it was rather heavy.
Before Gu Jin could respond, Gu Jiajie saw An Mingji standing in the middle of the living room with his hair like a bird’s nest, an image that’s unforgettable.
Paired with Duoduo squatting beside him, occasionally tilting his head to look at the young man, this scene was truly amusing and made one want to laugh—it’s hilarious.
"Hahaha... Little An, what’s up with you?"
An Mingji helplessly rubbed his hair and said in a faint voice, "Jiajie, go ask Jin—"
Feigning annoyance, he turned and walked towards the bathroom.
Gu Jin heard the young man’s lanting voice and didn’t take it seriously; this brat was definitely pretending.
If he wanted to resist her, he certainly had the ability.
One could only say they were evenly matched, both willing parties.
She led Gu Minmin into the house, took the things she was holding, and asked, "Minmin, have you been adjusting well lately?"
"I’m used to it!"
The girl’s cheerful voice didn’t sound like soone who had gone through hardship.
Gu Jin showed a strange expression in her eyes. Could her cousin have advanced thoughts and not care about the so-called chastity matters of the countryside?
She didn’t delve deeper and bent to open the things her cousin Gu Jiajie brought.
There were all kinds of atballs, fish balls, shrimp balls, and vegetables, lamb, noodles, spices, and so on.
These bags were enough for them to feast on happily.
Gu Jin squinted her eyes, her face showing an expectant expression.
She glanced at the clock on the wall; it was almost five o’clock.
"Jiajie, let’s sort these things in the kitchen together. I can’t manage it all alone."
"Sure!"
Gu Jiajie was cheerful about it; he didn’t have the notion that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen. Ever since he opened the hot pot restaurant, he hadn’t stayed out of the kitchen much.
Gu Minmin cheerfully said, "I’ll help too!"
Seeing this girl so cheerful, Gu Jin smiled and nodded.
The three of them moved everything from the living room to the kitchen.
Gu Minmin washed the vegetables, Gu Jin sliced potatoes, winter lon, and mushrooms nearby.
Gu Jiajie sat at the dining table, putting all the at onto plates, then took out the pot and placed it on the table, with all the spices prepared.
As plates of vegetables and atballs were placed on the table, An Mingji tidied up his appearance and walked into the kitchen.
He glanced at the three busy people in the kitchen and asked, "Is there anything you need to do?"
Gu Jin said to the young man, "Go to the storage room and get the bottle of wine Qiu Qianghai brought us!"
"Okay, anything else?"
"No, that’s pretty much it. You bring the wine, and we’re ready to start eating."
An Mingji nodded and walked towards the storage room.
The wine brought by Qiu Qianghai was quite valuable. He picked up the beautifully packaged bottle of wine, turned, and left the storage room.
When he stepped into the kitchen again, as Gu Jin said, the three of them were seated and waiting for him.
An Mingji naturally took a seat beside Gu Jin and handed her the wine.
She accepted it, glanced at the exquisite packaging of the wine, noticing its origin in a romantic country.
Gu Jin quickly unwrapped the beautiful packaging and took out the elegant bottle of wine inside.
"We’re having hot pot with wine?"
Gu Jiajie thought this pairing overturned his understanding of running a hot pot restaurant these past two years.
Gu Jin gave him a sideways glance, "What do you know? Wine paired with hot pot is the new trendy cuisine. They may seem mismatched, but combined, they’re unusually delicious, irresistibly good. Don’t believe it? Try it."
In a past life, urban youths had a saying—wine and hot pot are a perfect match, offering a unique sense of fashionable ceremony.
