Chapter 578 Surrender
Li Qin has always adhered to one principle: to avoid using spells like mind control or memory spells on his relatives and friends as much as possible.
So even though he could tell that the people in the living room had a secret, Li Qin pretended that he hadn't seen anything.
He believed that there must be a reason why his friends weren't telling him.
Mutual respect is the key to a lasting relationship.
As the group played and joked around, time passed little by little.
Meanwhile, the aroma of the rabbit simmering in the kitchen began to waft out.
Li Qin had anticipated this situation, but he was in a good mood today and didn't want to upset the residents of the courtyard house.
So when I left the kitchen earlier, I had secretly used a spell to slightly seal the kitchen doors and windows.
The result of this is that most of the aroma of the stewed meat is blocked, with only a small amount of smell escaping.
At most, it will spread to the backyard.
Before anyone else could smell the aroma, Li Qin, with his extraordinary sense of smell, caught it first, and his expression immediately changed slightly.
"Judging by the time, the meat stewing in the kitchen should be ready soon, so I'll go take care of that first. You guys can play a few more rounds and then stop to get ready for dinner."
The remaining people didn't speak, but they all nodded to indicate that they understood.
Upon seeing this, Li Qin immediately got up and went to the kitchen.
Although Li Qin didn't need to personally cook in the kitchen, that would be too strange.
After all, in a normal person's mind, the kitchen can't possibly cook the food by itself.
When Li Qin arrived at the kitchen, he found that the rabbit meat in the pot was almost done, and all that was left was to add the side ingredients.
Li Qin sat quietly to the side, a cigarette dangling from his lips, watching the kitchen's automated system operate.
They showed no intention of interfering whatsoever.
Although Li Qin felt that his cooking skills were pretty good now, compared to the curse of life, they were not only not convenient enough, but also didn't taste as good.
Li Qin would naturally not cause trouble for no reason.
Soon, a large pot of braised rabbit meat, including meat and vegetables, was ready, but that wasn't the end of it.
In addition to this main dish, Li Qin also ordered several vegetarian dishes.
However, this doesn't take much time.
In the blink of an eye, everything was ready.
Just as Li Qin was about to bring the dishes to the restaurant, he did not expect that Feng Yu and the others would also come to the kitchen at this time.
"What are you all doing in the kitchen? Are you so hungry you can't wait?"
Li Qin looked at the group with a puzzled expression.
Feng Yu and the others exchanged smiles, then nodded in unison.
"That's right, we just can't wait."
In fact, they smelled the increasingly strong aroma of food, and one by one they lost their desire to play cards.
Since it was almost time to stop, I decided to stop.
Then he went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes.
"Since we can't wait any longer, let's work together to bring the food to the dining room."
Without much thought, Li Qin immediately ordered everyone to take action.
Although there were quite a few dishes tonight, all six of them carried them to the restaurant at once. Li Qin, who was at the back, took out several large steamed buns made from two kinds of dough from the steamer.
"Tonight's main dish is these two-ingredient steamed buns. Please don't mind them. Of course, even if you do, there's nothing I can do because I didn't prepare anything else."
Li Qin placed the steamed bun in his hand on the table and smiled as he addressed everyone.
Feng Yu and the others remained silent at this moment.
However, everyone picked up a steamed bun without hesitation and put it in their rice bowl.
Upon seeing this, Li Qin smiled again.
"I didn't prepare too much tonight, just eat as much as you like."
Li Qin then invited everyone to start eating.
Li Qin's words were clearly sincere, but to everyone else they sounded like a top-tier Versailles.
Especially when I saw the big bowl of rabbit meat on the table, along with a few stir-fried vegetables, four or five cold dishes, plus spicy rabbit head and two halves of pig's head meat bought from the grocery store.
Is this what you call not doing too much?
In fact, this is not much for Li Qin. You should know that Li Qin usually eats six or seven dishes when he eats alone.
Besides the main dishes, there was also soup and dessert...
The people in the room just didn't know that.
"Alright, enough chit-chat, let's get started. Everyone, eat something first, then we'll drink."
As the host, Li Qin was the first to wait for the chopsticks.
After seeing Li Qin start eating, everyone began to pick up food with their chopsticks.
Everyone present was a relative, so there was no need for formalities. Besides, it was dinnertime, and everyone was indeed hungry.
Add to that the aroma of the food.
In an instant, everyone turned into silent, dredging machines.
The chopsticks were constantly moving back and forth across the table.
Even Li Qin was no exception.
As is his usual habit, it's time for him to have dinner now.
That means his appetite has returned to normal; otherwise, he would have been starving long ago.
After everyone had eaten something to fill their stomachs, the frequency of their chopstick movements suddenly slowed down. Seeing this, Li Qin took out the white wine that he had prepared in advance.
This time, he didn't take out a thatch.
In fact, Li Qin still had quite a few bottles of Maotai in his possession, but in the end he chose to take other types of liquor.
Although it can't compare to Maotai, it's not your average liquor either.
It's Fenjiu.
Fenjiu is also one of the famous liquors served at state banquets.
Not to mention that Li Qin also brought out a high-end Fenjiu liquor.
Li Qin used the black market to exchange all the money he had that he didn't need for things into things that interested him.
For example, fine wines, good cigarettes, or rare books...
And so, another round of drinking began.
However, perhaps the effects of the midday alcohol hadn't completely worn off, Xu Damao immediately said when he saw Li Qin take out the liquor, "I'm really sorry, my alcohol tolerance is really limited. I can only drink a little tonight, and I might not be able to handle it if I drink too much. I hope everyone can be understanding."
Xu Damao did not put on a brave face just to save face.
Influenced by Li Qin for a long time, Xu Damao's ideas have also changed.
For example, he would never do something that would cause him pain just to save face.
When Xu Damao apologized, everyone showed kind smiles.
"It's okay, Da Mao. We're drinking together to have fun, not to get anyone drunk. Just drink as much as you want, no need to force yourself."
Seeing that everyone expressed their understanding, Xu Damao immediately smiled.
To be honest, when he spoke just now, Xu Damao was really worried that these people would look down on him or laugh at him.
Now it seems I was overthinking things.
It makes sense, considering he's someone who can get along well with Li Qin.
Xu Damao knew a thing or two about Li Qin's personality.
If someone's character and personality are flawed, Li Qin would not be willing to associate with them, no matter how extraordinary their status may be.
"Like I said before, everyone should drink responsibly tonight. If you feel you've had enough, don't push yourself. Your health is your own responsibility, so please take good care of yourself."
Li Qin also spoke up at this moment;
"Besides, I have to go to work tomorrow, and it wouldn't be good if drinking too much affected my work tomorrow."
I had already drunk quite a bit at noon, and after playing around for a few hours, although the effects of the alcohol had worn off somewhat, they hadn't completely worn off yet.
If you continue to drink excessively at night, it may have some adverse effects on your health.
Li Qin's superior physical condition allows him to disregard these factors, but others cannot be ignored.
