Chef Li's culinary skills were not to be trifled with.
Although Zuo Yi had never even heard of the ingredients collected from the Wild World before, this did not stop him from using his own experience and ability to research the best cooking method.
The giant clam was made into sashimi and porridge. The former was so delicious that everyone almost swallowed their tongues into their stomachs, especially the glutton Wu Yongjian. He even finished an entire plate of it!
The giant clam was extremely delicious and contained a strong vitality. It could be used by ordinary people, and it was also very beneficial to the body. However, one could not eat too much of it, or it would be too nourishing.
For people like Gu Kai and Zhang Wei, Wang Yongqiang and his wife, two slices were enough.
Wu Yongjian was a Grade A Transcendent, and his tolerance was much higher than ordinary people. It was not a problem for him to eat more.
He ate to his heart's content, beaming with joy.
Wu Yongjian was not from Jiangnan Province. Because of his work, he did not spend much time with his family. This year, he could not reunite with his family, so he came to Zuo Yi's place to eat.
Of course, he could not do it for free, so he invited Chef Li.
Other than the giant clam, Chef Li also made steamed black-scaled fish, braised spotted tapir, and barbecued blue sheep. There were also water bamboo shoots, black caltrops, and long-barbed vegetables. Every dish looked, smelled, and tasted good.
Together with a few other signature dishes of the Li family's private kitchen, everyone ate heartily.
After eating this sumptuous and delicious Mid-Autumn Night banquet, the leftovers were replaced with snacks and tea. Everyone sat in the small courtyard, chatting and laughing as they admired the moon.
At this time, the moon had risen high in the sky, and it was big and round, emitting a bright light.
Gu Kai was in the mood for poetry, and he recited a poem on the spot, "The sunset clouds overflow with cold, the silver river turns the jade plate silently. This night does not grow well in this life, where will the bright moon be next year? "
Gu Kai was also a romantic and elegant person in the past. He was once the president of the university's poetry club. Not only was he good at reciting poems, but he also wrote poems. Although his poetry had been obliterated by life, he still had feelings in his heart.
"Good!"
Everyone applauded and cheered.
Gu Kai blushed slightly, "I'm ashamed."
Bao'er clapped and said, "Grandpa, one more!"
Gu Kai loved the little girl very much, so he couldn't help but satisfy her request. He coughed and recited again, "When will the moon appear? With a cup of wine in hand, I ask the clear sky. He wondered what year it was in the heavenly palace. I want to ride the wind and return home, but I'm afraid of the bejeweled jade palaces … "
Zuo Yi also came from Su Shi. A Shuidiao Song started with an ancient noun. When he recited the last two sentences, "I hope that we will be long-lasting." Zuo Yi couldn't help but turn his head to look at Gu Yun Xi who was sitting beside him.
She happened to meet Gu Yun Xi's gaze.
Without the wings of the colorful phoenix, their hearts were as one. At this moment, silence spoke louder than words!
Zuo Yi reached out and held Gu Yun Xi's soft hand. He stood up and said, "Let's chat. I will take a walk outside with Yun Xi."
In front of so many elders, Gu Yun Xi's pretty face couldn't help but blush. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at Zuo Yi.
Zhang Yun smiled and said, "Go, go."
She was really satisfied with Zuo Yi as her son-in-law.
Especially after experiencing difficulties and hardships, she felt the happiness of today.
Zuo Yi took Gu Yun Xi and left the small courtyard.
Bao'er rolled her eyes and quietly pulled Qiqi over to Alice's side. She whispered a few words to Alice.
Then, the three maidservants, one big and two small, sneaked out stealthily after her.
The few adults present didn't care when they saw it. Because they weren't ordinary people. Moreover, there wouldn't be any safety issues in Linjiang.
Zuo Yi held Gu Yun Xi's hand and walked slowly along the forest path.
The stream by the roadside gurgled. Fireflies flew up from the grass. They followed the two people all the way to the front of the treasure tree.
Zuo Yi stopped.
Gu Yun Xi asked, "What's wrong?"
Perhaps because she drank a few glasses of red wine at night, she was slightly drunk. She only wanted to be held by Zuo Yi like this.
Zuo Yi turned around and stared at her.
His eyes were full of tenderness.
Gu Yun Xi's heart suddenly jumped very fast. Her face seemed to be burning. She said stutteringly, "What are you looking at?"
Zuo Yi smiled slightly, let go of her hand and took half a step back.
He knelt on the ground with one knee.
"Ah."
Gu Yun Xi exclaimed softly. Although she had expected it, she was still shocked by the huge surprise. Her legs were soft and she almost couldn't stand. She barely stabilized herself.
Zuo Yi took out the jewelry box that he had already prepared and presented it in front of her. He opened it, "Yun Xi, are you willing to marry me?"
Inside the box was a ring. The diamond inlaid on it was shining under the moonlight.
This wasn't an ordinary diamond, but an extremely rare star diamond. It was a star crystal that could only be born in the core of a star.
The size of this star diamond was only about five or six carats, but its value was extremely high. All the diamonds in Bluestar couldn't be compared to it!
Star diamond was one of the hardest substances in the multiverse. In theory, it would never be destroyed. It contained the origin energy of the stars.
It couldn't be cut and polished, and it didn't need to be cut and polished.
This star diamond ring was also made by Zuo Yi himself.
It was for tonight's proposal!
Although Gu Yun Xi didn't understand the true value of the star diamond, in her eyes, this ring was immeasurable.
"Yun Xi, are you willing to marry me?"
She had fantasized many times that Zuo Yi would say this to her. Until today, she really heard it. Her eyes were filled with tears. She couldn't help but cover her mouth.
Gu Yun Xi was really too happy and excited, so she couldn't answer at once.
Zuo Yi smiled and patiently waited for her answer.
Gu Yun Xi finally suppressed the surging emotions in her heart. She held back her tears and nodded, "I'm willing!"
Zuo Yi revealed a big smile. He held Gu Yun Xi's hand and put the star diamond ring on her ring finger.
He made a promise to accompany her for life!
Beautiful flowers bloomed quietly around the two. The dancing fireflies formed a heart pattern in the air. The lush branches of the treasure tree swayed gently. The air emitted a romantic fragrance.
Gu Yun Xi hummed softly and threw herself into Zuo Yi's arms. She closed her eyes and raised her head.
However, she didn't get Zuo Yi's kiss.
Zuo Yi turned his head and shouted, "You guys, have you seen enough!"
"Ah!"
Bao 'er's exclamation followed, "Run!"
She, Qiqi and Alice were secretly following behind. In fact, they were discovered by Zuo Yi long ago. He just didn't expose them.
As a result, they still wanted to continue watching the show, but Zuo Yi decisively shouted it out.
The three girls hurriedly ran away.
Gu Yun Xi opened her eyes and couldn't help but laugh.
At this time, the flowers were good and the moon was round!
