But Tian Zhuo is very familiar with Gu Zhao. They have known each other since Gu Zhao went to the countryside. Now, Gu Zhao has become his brother-in-law. Tian Zhuo is happy about this and is not particularly restrained when facing Gu Zhao.
After a few people toasted, they started to eat. Tian Tian couldn't wait to put a piece of sweet and sour pork into the bowl. She took a bite and it was crispy and the pungent smell of vinegar went straight to the top of her head, but the taste was sweet and sour.
"It's delicious!" Tian Tian couldn't help but praise, "Your dish is so delicious, why didn't you make it for me before?"
"It's a bit troublesome to make this dish. I didn't have enough time before. But if you like it, I will find time to make this dish for you in the future, how about that?" Gu Zhao looked at Tian Tian and thought she was cute, so he put another piece of sweet and sour pork into Tian Tian's bowl with chopsticks.
Tian Tian stuffed her mouth with sweet and sour pork and nodded uncontrollably. After swallowing it, she turned to Tian Zhuo and said, "This is delicious. You should try this sweet and sour pork too!"
Tian Zhuo took a bite of the sweet and sour dish and it tasted good, but Tian Zhuo didn't really like sweet and sour things. Plus, he saw that Tian Tian liked this dish, so he only took one bite and put it down.
The pine nut corn tastes good too. The pine nuts were sent by Lin Mei. Some time ago, when Gu Zhaoyi had some free time, he peeled a lot of pine nuts at home.
Originally, I wanted to make it easier for Tian Tian to eat pine nuts. After all, Tian Tian is the kind of person who likes to stuff a handful of them into her mouth. But later, Tiantian really couldn't eat any more. Although pine nuts are fragrant, they also have a disadvantage. Eating too many at once can easily give you a headache.
After digging it out, it couldn’t be left there, so Gu Zhao simply made a dish of pine nut corn.
The pine nut corn tastes very good too. The sweetness of the corn, the aroma of the pine nuts and the freshness of the cucumber go perfectly together. However, Tian Tian doesn’t really like this type of dish, so she put two spoonfuls into her bowl and stopped eating.
Tian Zhuo, on the other hand, really enjoyed it and put three large spoonfuls into his bowl.
The braised pork with curd made by Gu Zhao is also very delicious, fatty but not greasy, melts in the mouth, and the saltiness is just right. The pork skin is fried in oil and then stewed in broth, which makes it very juicy.
Although they don't have the pickled mustard greens from the south here, the side dish that Gu Zhao uses is sun-dried cowpeas. After soaking the cowpeas in water, they are put into the meat pot. Once stewed, they absorb all the meat juice and are very meaty.
In general, this braised pork is very close to the northern taste, it is salty and fragrant, and the main sauce is also soy sauce. Since Gu Zhao doesn't like to use dark soy sauce when cooking, the color is not that good-looking.
Gu Zhao's Three Fresh Vegetables is fried eggplant with starch on the outside. It has a crispy shell but is soft and juicy on the inside. It has a slightly spicy taste because of the chili peppers, and is perfect for mixing with rice.
Tian Tian doesn't like to eat potatoes among the three fresh vegetables. This is really not the best season to eat potatoes. The potatoes are only delicious in July when they are just harvested.
The potato in the three fresh dishes is a crispy potato. Tian Tian only likes to eat stewed potatoes, so crispy potatoes should be used for stir-fried or mixed shredded potatoes.
Gu Zhao is a potato-head. He particularly likes to eat potatoes, no matter what kind of potatoes he likes to eat, such as stewed potatoes, stir-fried potatoes, shredded potatoes, potato strips, and potatoes as side dishes like this, no matter whether they are crispy potatoes or flour potatoes, he likes to eat them all.
There is also the vermicelli. Gu Shuang also likes to eat it very much. I don’t know how it is made, but it is not dry at all and is very dry and crisp.
Tian Tian felt that the remaining mushrooms, black fungus, and scrambled eggs with leeks were very ordinary. Since they were often found in the cafeteria, she focused on the other dishes.
Although Gu Zhao cooked a table full of dishes, the three of them were relatively big eaters, especially Tian Zhuo. Now was the time when he was growing up. Although he was already nineteen years old, he could still grow a little faster at twenty-three and a little stronger at twenty-five. In addition, studying was tiring, so he ate the most. In the end, the three of them finished all the food on the table.
After finishing the meal, they lay contentedly on the sofa for a while, and Tian Tian and Tian Zhuo got up to clean up the dishes. Gu Zhao had been cooking all afternoon and was exhausted, so they definitely couldn't let the chef do the dishes.
"You can stay at home that night. There's a room at home that has been cleaned up. You can just go to sleep there. It's so late now, it will be very tiring for you to go back to school!" Tian Tian said as she cleaned up with Tian Zhuo.
"Your brother-in-law also agreed. We cleaned up the house together a few days in advance!"
"Okay!" Tian Zhuo agreed, mainly because he was a little too sleepy. He wanted to lie down on the bed and sleep immediately after washing the dishes.
Tian Tian kept washing the dishes, but something suddenly occurred to her mind, "We haven't eaten mooncakes tonight yet, let's go eat a piece of mooncake after we finish washing the dishes!"
Without waiting for Tian Zhuo to refuse, Tian Tian said, "I know you eat a lot at night, and I can't eat it either. Let's not eat the extra mooncake, let's share it among the three of us!"
Tian Zhuo had no choice but to swallow his refusal.
"You can stay at my house for two days, and then go back to school when school starts. When you leave, take some mooncakes back with you. There are too many mooncakes at home, and your brother-in-law and I can't finish them all. If they are left there for too long, they will become stale!"
The welfare of their factory is quite good. Teacher Tian Tian and engineer Gu Zhao both received a lot of mooncakes.
They originally planned to take the mooncakes to Ge Huiyun's house, but when they went to Ge Huiyun's house in the morning, they found that Ge Huiyun's house had more mooncakes than theirs. In the end, not only did they not give away the two boxes of mooncakes, but they took two more boxes back.
Tian Tian didn’t particularly like mooncakes, and it was okay for her to eat one or two. But there were so many mooncakes at home that she had to eat them, and Tian Tian felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.
She planned to send three boxes of mooncakes to Lin Meiyu, so that Lin Meiyu could take them home to share, and the remaining box would be given to Tian Zhuo. Tian Zhuo usually studied at school and always forgot to eat, so he could take a box of mooncakes back home so that he would have something to fill his stomach if he was hungry.
In the end, there were two boxes left at home. A few pieces were kept from those two boxes at home, and the rest were given to Gu Zhao to his laboratory.
Gu Zhao is also a guy who forgets to eat and sleep when he is busy. There is a lounge next to their laboratory, where they can eat, drink water and take a rest.
Put the mooncakes in the lounge. If Gu Zhao is hungry, he can go directly to the lounge to eat something.
Tian Tian was very happy after distributing the mooncakes.
