Chapter 214 Shen Zheng Cooks

In this final exam, several children did well.

Shen Haiping scored 100 points in both subjects.

Shen Haifeng scored more than 95 points in both subjects, and Yu Feixu also scored more than 90 points.

According to Yu Feixu, this time they can finally have a good New Year.

Not only that, Fang Yue, who is studying in Jiangcheng, also scored full marks in two subjects.

Fang Xiaoluo was very happy when she got the news.

She even took several children to play in Jiangcheng for a day, bought snacks for them, and went to the hotel for a big meal.

Fang Xiaoluo went out early in the morning.

Zhang Xinyan called her and said that the village chief and the village party secretary of Honghe Village wanted to see her and wanted to ask about the greenhouse.

So Fang Xiaoluo went to Honghe Village after breakfast.

Seeing Fang Xiaoluo go out, Shen Zheng also started to change clothes and prepare to go out.

Shen Jinxia saw Shen Zheng wearing a coat, leaned over and asked, "Dad, where are you going?"

Shen Zheng took the hat and said, "I'm going to buy some meat and a fish."

He also looked and saw that there were all kinds of vegetables at home, so he didn't need to buy anything.

Shen Jinxia glanced into the house, then ran over secretly and waved to Shen Zheng.

Shen Zheng understood and squatted down.

The little Shen Jinxia leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Dad, Mom is not at home today, so you can't let Grandma stew the fish. Grandma's stew is not delicious."

Shen Zheng felt that all the breath of Shen Jinxia's words was sprayed in his ears, which made him itchy.

But he still heard it clearly.

"Dad will cook today, okay?"

Shen Jinxia's eyes widened and her voice rose, "Ah? Dad, are you going to cook today?"

Zheng Lanhua heard the voice and came out of the house, "You want to cook?"

Shen Zheng stood up, "Yeah, I feel my body is almost well. Xiaoluo is not at home today, I'll give it a try."

Zheng Lanhua didn't care whether it was a man or a woman who cooked. She knew Shen Zheng was going to cook and encouraged him, "I think it's okay. Make it delicious. Don't be like your mom and make that thing I can't swallow."

Shen Zheng smiled and said, "I'll try. I'm just afraid that it won't taste good, so while Xiaoluo is not at home, you can help me taste it first."

After saying this, Shen Haifeng and Shen Haiping also ran over.

Shen Haiping said, "Come on, Dad."

Shen Haifeng said, "Dad, how about I call Feixu and Feiyue together, we can all give you some advice."

Shen Zheng didn't care who was eating, as long as the food was delicious.

"Okay, go ahead."

Because of Shen Zheng's injury, the pigs at home were originally going to be killed, but they haven't been killed yet.

There was no pork at home, so Shen Zheng went out and bought a piece of pork belly, wanting to make braised pork.

He also bought a fish and prepared to make braised fish.

He also bought a piece of tofu and prepared to make the simplest fried tofu.

Plus a potato shreds, there are exactly four dishes.

When he got home, Yu Feixu and Yu Xiaopang had already arrived.

Yu Xiaopang said, "Uncle, you should do your best. My dad said that you can't cook, you can only eat."

Yu Feixu: ...

He pulled Yu Xiaopang from behind, "Don't talk nonsense."

Yu Xiaopang pulled the corner of his clothes back, "I'm not talking nonsense, my dad just said that, brother, you are not going to lie. We can't lie."

Yu Feixu covered his forehead, and he could choose to shut up if he didn't want to lie.

Shen Zheng said, "It doesn't matter. If I don't like it, you can bring it to dad when you go back and let him eat more."

In the kitchen, Zheng Lanhua helped Shen Zheng, and the two of them were busy.

Shen Zheng looked at the plate, the fish was cleaned, the big pieces of pork belly were cut, the potato shreds were cut perfectly, and the tofu was also beaten into small pieces.

Scallions, ginger, garlic and orchid flowers were all prepared for him.

"Cooking requires a sequence. Stew the meat here and the fish over there." Zheng Lanhua began to give instructions to Shen Zheng. "Luckily we have two stoves in our house, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get it done."

Shen Zheng lit a fire and washed the pot. "I see Xiaoluo's movements are neat and tidy, not messy at all."

"What do you know? That must be because he used to work all the time and gained experience." Zheng Lanhua rolled her eyes at Shen Zheng. "Who would work every day if they could enjoy themselves? Only you men think it's easy for women to stay at home. These crappy chores at home are endless, and it's like having nothing to do after doing them."

"If you ask me, without women, you men are nothing!"

Shen Zheng was stunned by Zheng Lanhua's scolding, and he didn't say anything.

But one still has to maintain a correct attitude, "Yes, yes, you are right."

Zheng Lanhua came over with a jar of sugar, "I think you should learn to cook. You are busy with work and are not always at home. We understand. What about the future? When you become an old man and retire, you still want Xiaoluo to serve you at home every day. You should hurry up and serve Xiaoluo well."

Shen Zheng watched the water in the pot boil away, added some oil, put the sugar in, and began to stir quickly.

"I asked the soldiers in the kitchen squad, and they said to make some sugar color and hang it on the pot. It will taste better and look better." Shen Zheng said while stirring, "I saw Xiao Luo do it this way before. Cook it until it turns dark red, then pour the meat in and stir-fry."

Zheng Lanhua smelled something wrong and slapped Shen Zheng on the arm, "It's still popping, it's burnt!"

Shen Zheng took a look and saw that it was indeed the case. The sugar hadn't melted just now, but how come it turned black in the blink of an eye.

The pot was already smoking, thick smoke.

Zheng Lanhua quickly poured water into it.

"What are you doing? If you don't add water, it will catch fire. Are you trying to set the house on fire?"

In the living room, Shen Jinxia and the others were leaning their heads to look into the kitchen.

"My father's cooking won't be like grandma's, right?" Shen Jinxia was a little worried.

Shen Haiping said, "No."

Shen Jinxia asked, "Why?"

Shen Haiping said, "Because Dad grew up eating grandma's food."

Shen Jinxia thought about it for a long time but still didn't understand.

Shen Zheng began to rewash the pot, and the water from washing the pot was all black.

He sighed, "This oil and sugar are wasted."

"Slow fire, low fire." Zheng Lanhua emphasized, "If it really doesn't work, don't boil it, just stir-fry or stew it directly."

"I'll try again." Shen Zheng said, "Cooking is really difficult."

Zheng Lanhua said, "That's right, cooking is quite difficult."

Shen Zheng tried again, this time the fire was low, and the sugar didn't melt for a long time at the beginning, but he didn't worry. Later, the temperature came up, and you know what, he really made the sugar color.

Pour the pork belly into the pot, and with a "sizzle", Shen Zheng began to stir-fry.

"Mom, what do you think of my color?" Shen Zheng let out a long breath. This thing is really not just talk. He was so careful that he even burned him.

It felt harder than fighting a war.

Zheng Lanhua took a look and said, "It's OK, not bad."

Shen Zheng said while frying, "Mom, am I better than you?"

Zheng Lanhua glared at him, "Whether you are good or not, I gave birth to you! You are still comparing with me, what are you comparing? I raised you up, you compare with me, no matter how bad my cooking is, I didn't starve you to death!"
