Chapter 1036 - 428: Dundun: Want to Hit Me with a Snowball? Sorry, My Luck Value Is Maxed Out!

"What is this? Beef tripe?"

They had almost finished the lamb, so everyone started cooking other dishes.

Shen Jiayue and Geng Lele put a few slices of Thousand Layer Tofu into the pot, while Chen Yuanyuan picked up some organs. Not knowing what part it was, she curiously asked.

Lin Xu glanced over and said with a smile:

"This isn’t beef tripe, it’s lamb tripe called ’San Dan’... Just need to boil it for a few seconds. It’s crispy and delicious."

Upon hearing this, Yuanyuan picked up a piece with her chopsticks, boiled it for a few seconds, dipped it in sesame sauce, and put it in her mouth. The crispiness brightened her eyes.

Delicious, even better than beef tripe.

Because Lin Xu was planning to take Dundun out to play in the afternoon, he didn’t drink beer but chose Sprite instead.

He filled his glass and clinked it with Brother Feng:

"Thanks for helping me out over the weekend, Brother Feng. Eat more meat; there’s plenty in the kitchen... By the way, we’re doing braised pork ribs at the store tomorrow afternoon, bring your wife and kids if you’re free. It’s nice to have something warm in this cold weather."

Brother Feng didn’t refuse:

"Sure, the kids love meat. We’ll come to the store and have a feast tomorrow."

One hundred pounds of ribs are sure to satisfy lots of people.

As they were eating and chatting, Che Zai delivered two baskets of freshly baked Ma Jiang Shaobing.

They’re perfect with hot pot lamb; finish the meat first, then add noodles, cabbage, and tofu to the broth. Cook them, and eat with the crispy savory Ma Jiang Shaobing. It’s such a delight.

The young people ate fast, and when their table was swept clean, Shen Guofu’s table of middle-aged and elderly just reached the height of their drinking mood, with still two-thirds of the meat untouched.

At first, it was Geng Lishan and Shen Guofu doing most of the talking.

Only after a couple of drinks did Chen Yuejin ask about last time’s criminal capture by the river, which finally opened old Sun’s floodgate of stories.

He thought the creek isn’t a big deal, but some cases he encountered years ago were incredibly dangerous, like the infamous Wu Ruofu kidnapping case he once participated in.

These cases sound like adventures to people who live in peaceful times.

Now Geng Lishan stopped talking about food, Shen Guofu stopped recalling hardships and joys, and even Ren Chongmo and his wife stopped reminiscing stories of old scholars and food.

Everyone was engrossed in these thrilling stories, even forgetting to fetch the meat boiling in the pot.

Normally nagging her husband for fishing trips, Granny Sun now had tears in her eyes, never expecting her old Sun to have narrowly escaped death so many times.

"Everytime you came back from a trip, and I asked if anything happened, you’d always say nothing. I never expected it to be so dangerous... I must go light incense to thank heavenly protection first thing tomorrow."

The couple’s words reminded Ren Chongmo of his own Ren Jie. Whenever Ren Jie returned from missions, he’d say the same.

But the scar on his arm last time frightened everyone quite a bit.

"Here, Brother Sun, I toast to you. Thank you for ensuring we live in a safe society."

Shen Guofu clinked his glass with old Sun. Such an established, connected figure on such good terms with the son-in-law... It’s just...

But then again, if Geng Lishan can be pals with his son-in-law, it’s normal to have leader friends in the fishing circle.

Besides knowing many important figures, the son-in-law is now a supervisor at Fishing Platform’s Dining Department and a director at Yanjing Hotel’s Dining Department. Although both are part-time, it gives a sense of "Su Qin holding the seals of six states."

Having such a son-in-law is truly a blessing from past lives.

"Dad, Mom, eat slowly, we’re taking Dundun out to play!"

Shen Jiayue, holding Dundun, who had stuffed himself with meat, planned to drive off to find a place for a snowball fight.

It’s not the coldest time of the year yet, and the snow might melt by tomorrow.

So while the snow remains, let’s seize the opportunity to have an exciting play.

Han Shuzhen said:

"Be careful not to let Dundun catch a cold, and drive carefully."

"Okay..."

Seeing that there were too many people for Lin Xu’s car, and her own Panamera wasn’t fit for driving in snow, Chen Yan approached Chen Yuejin and said:

"Dad, where are your car keys? I’ll call a driver over later to pick you up, I’m taking the car."

Chen Yuejin’s car is a Land Rover, perfect for having fun in the snow.

As soon as he heard his daughter was taking the car, Chen Yuejin handed over the keys immediately:

"Xiao Yan, are you cold in this? There’s warm clothing in the trunk; if you get cold, put it on. Don’t catch a cold and pass it to Xiao Jie..."

Chen Yan: ??????

You’re worried I’ll pass it to Ren Jie, really?

You’re not even pretending anymore, huh?

She accepted the keys with a face full of grievance, then told Ren Chongmo and Tian Qinglan:

"It’s hard to take a cab or subway in such snowy weather. Later, go with my parents, and instruct the driver where you’d like to go."

"Alright, Xiao Yan, don’t worry about us, just enjoy your play."

After saying goodbye, everyone headed downstairs.

Yue Liyue and others needed to return for livestream gaming, so they couldn’t join the fun.

Brother Feng also wanted to go home to spend the weekend with his kids. A rare snowfall, he had to take his kids to play in the community.

Hearing Brother Feng was heading back, Lin Xu told Shu Yun:

"Pack two roast chickens and some extra marinated food for Brother Feng to take home. Nothing better than a family meal on a snowy day, just hope he doesn’t mind."

"How could he mind? My dad loves our roast chicken. Each time he brings some home, he’ll drink a couple of cups. With the snow today, it’s even time for a light buzz."
