Chapter 576: Old Acquaintance
As soon as the two men sat down at the table, someone knocked on the door.
Bai Xiao glanced at An Zhiyuan, certain it was an acquaintance, aware of his return. These past days, An Zhiyuan’s subordinates had frequently come to visit, so much so that even the guest house had not been peaceful.
An Zhiyuan opened the door.
"Chief An! Doctor Bai!"
Hu Biao had already come in smiling, holding a pot of sweet potatoes, "These are harvested from our own field. My wife can only do some farming work, let you both try something fresh!"
An Zhiyuan invited him in, "Just in time, we are having dinner, join us. We haven’t seen each other for some days, I heard you’ve been promoted, congratulations!"
Hu Biao didn’t stand on ceremony and simply sat down; Bai Xiao added a pair of chopsticks for him and looked at the stack of egg pancakes. For these two big-bellied men, it probably wouldn’t be enough, "Sit down, let me get the dishes!"
An Zhiyuan took out a bottle of Wuliangye; the house had plenty of alcohol, all from friends who came to visit. Each brought a bottle as a gift, a gesture of goodwill, especially since they’d just gotten married, a housewarming gift of sorts.
Bai Xiao then fried some sweet and sour pork and stir-fried some peppers with cured meat. The two men would definitely prefer meat dishes, and she also baked another stack of egg pancakes, now fully prepared.
