When they heard their daughter was talking about a girl who was younger than their own daughter, they thought that she must not be able to cook.
But after all, he saved my daughter, and it would be inappropriate if I haven't thanked him properly yet.
Father Gu said, "Fuying, see if you are free these days and bring the girl home. Your mother and I will thank her."
Gu Fuying nodded hurriedly and planned to go find Xu Ying tomorrow. Then she would let Yingying show off her cooking skills to her parents, making them regret it and begging her to cook for their eldest brother's wedding banquet.
Originally, Gu Fuying planned to take a break at noon. It would take two hours to get to Xujia Village. Although the time was a bit tight, he couldn't wait for Yingying to come home.
But it happened that Xu Ying came to the county town in the morning, and she wanted to go to the state-owned hotel to ask about recruitment matters.
"Yingying, why are you in the county town? Do you want to buy something?" Gu Fuying saw Xu Ying when she was riding her bike to work.
Xu Ying was also delighted to see her: "I want to go to the state-owned restaurant to see if they are hiring."
Gu Fuying was delighted when he heard this: "Yingying, it is definitely not possible for you to go now. We recruit positions one for each person, and when this person retires, his relatives will immediately take over.
If you have no connection with them, no matter how good your cooking is, they won’t use your food.”
Xu Ying didn't ask because of this.
"But I have a way to help you." Gu Fuying said mysteriously.
Xu Ying was very excited when she heard this: "Really?"
Gu Fuying whispered a few words in her ear, and Xu Ying was overjoyed: "Thank you, Fuying. I will go home at noon to show off my skills to your parents."
Since she was cooking for someone with a destination in mind, Xu Ying planned to go to the market first to buy some vegetables and meat so that she could cook a meal for them at noon.
Looking at the key in her hand, Xu Ying smiled. This girl really wasn't on guard against her at all.
The keys of the house were given to her casually.
Xu Ying put the key away and went to the vegetable market for a stroll. She bought some ingredients that were not in the space, spent more than one yuan, and then went to Gu's house.
She had quite a complete set of food in her space, so she bought some vegetables and went to Gu's house according to the address given by Gu Fuying.
She knocked on the door first, opened it, walked into Gu's house, and went straight to the kitchen.
The Gu family’s kitchen is quite tidy and spacious. It is not difficult to see that the Gu family lives a comfortable life.
After all, housing is tight these days, but the Gu family's house has three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom.
When she first arrived, she saw that many people shared kitchens, but the Gu family had a large separate kitchen. Unless you were a cadre or a leader, you would not be able to get such a good house.
She has now unlocked eight recipes. In addition to the previous five recipes, she has also unlocked beer-drunk duck, a turtle soup, and eight-treasure rice pudding.
But they are all level one. She really wants to know what the level two recipes are like, but unfortunately she has never had the chance to get them.
Xu Ying used her best skills and worked in the kitchen for more than two hours to make a beer-drunk duck and chicken stew, plus spicy tofu and vinegar-stirred cabbage.
I also made a dish of fried peanuts, which requires no cooking skills at all, as long as you know how to fry something, you can make it.
When Gu's mother came home from get off work, she smelled a fragrance all over the house. She walked to the front door and saw it was open. She choked up in her heart, wondering if a thief had broken in.
She quickly entered the house and found that the food was already on the table and there was a pretty girl in the house.
Xu Ying looked up at the woman in front of her who looked 70% like Gu Fuying, and guessed that it was Gu's mother: "Auntie Gu, you're off work.
My name is Xu Ying. Fuying gave me the key, and I made a fool of myself. "
She directly expressed her desire to show off her cooking skills, saving herself the trouble of going back and forth.
She hated the kind of people who clearly had something to ask for but didn't say it out loud and were too shy to tell anyone.
Besides, my daughter is heartless, and it would not be good for her to have a friend who is too cunning.
"Yingying, right? I often hear my daughter mention you. Come and sit down. You finally come home, so why should I ask you to cook?
I was saying that I could smell the fragrance from far away in the building, and I didn't expect it was you who made it. Yesterday, Fuying praised your cooking skills, and today I saw that it was true."
Mother Gu was not being hypocritical when she said this; rather, the aroma and the delicious presentation of the dishes on the table convinced her.
"It's okay. I wasn't busy for long. Auntie must have worked all morning and must be tired. I'll clean up the kitchen and we can eat when Fuying comes back." Xu Ying said with a smile.
Seeing Xu Ying's sensible appearance, Mother Gu felt even better.
Gu Fuying rode her bike back home right after work. Smelling the aroma, she ran home at full speed: "Mom, Yingying, I'm back."
"Slow down, no one is chasing you." Mother Gu rolled her eyes at her daughter.
Gu Fuying swallowed his saliva helplessly: "It smells so good, I'm starving, I need to eat."
When she finished washing her hands and saw the food on the table, she was so shocked that her mouth couldn't close. The food was so delicious and tasty. A few words flashed through her mind.
Gu's mother and her husband had already washed their hands and were waiting for her to come back. They added a set of bowls and chopsticks and started eating.
Mother Gu loves to eat duck, and this was the first time she had heard of beer-drunk duck. However, it looked good, so she reached for the beer-drunk duck with her first chopsticks.
As the duck meat entered her mouth, Gu's mother narrowed her eyes. The taste was delicious, the aroma of wine was fragrant, the meat was soft and glutinous, and the duck skin was crispy when bitten.
"Yingying, no wonder our Fuying said your cooking is delicious, this is so delicious.
I think it’s on par with Chef Ge, or even better.”
Mother Gu ate with great pleasure: "It's a pity that Fuying's father is not at home, otherwise we would have had such a great meal."
Gu Fuying's mouth was full of oil and she couldn't stop eating: "Mom, don't talk, eat more vegetables, there will be no such store after this village."
When Mrs. Gu heard this, she instantly felt regretful. She was afraid that she would not eat enough, so she stopped talking and just lowered her head and ate.
Gu Fuying looked at the way her mother ate and knew that it was basically done to get Xu Ying to cook.
As she ate, she said, "Mom, why don't we let Yingying cook for my eldest brother's wedding? We'll make such delicious food to surprise everyone on the wedding day."
When Mother Gu heard this, she made the decision without thinking: "Okay, let Yingying be the chef when the time comes."
Considering that they might have invited too many guests, Gu's mother directly gave Xu Ying 20 yuan as a reward.
But there will be someone to help Xu Ying by then, so she won’t have to prepare cold dishes or anything like that. She just needs to prepare a few finale dishes for each table.
Gu Fuying blinked at Xu Ying.
Xu Ying replied to her in the same way, saying that if she could really work in a state-owned hotel, she would owe Fu Ying a favor.
Xu Ying also left after Gu's mother went to work. The Gu family's wedding would be another month away, so it was still a long way off.
After leaving Gu's house, she returned to the supply and marketing cooperative and found Sister Qiu Ye. She had to build a good relationship with her future sister-in-law to prevent Accountant Xu from breaking them up.
The last time she went to see Gu Fuying, Qiu Ye was on vacation and they didn't meet. This time, the two of them chatted for most of the day.
