Chapter 64

Instigating, who wouldn't do that?

"Good, good, great cooking, delicious and tasty. Lao Lu, we have known each other for many years, and you even specially invited a chef to come to your house and made it so grand. I feel embarrassed to come and eat for free."

Xie Guzhi couldn't stop laughing.

I took the food from his bowl, but he didn't eat a single bite and just kept praising it.

"Thank you, grandpa. Please have some soup." Shen Fubai took a rooster bowl and served him a bowl of winter melon soup.

Xie Guzhi smiled and waved his hand.

"Don't bother with an old man like me. Just do what you need to do today. Just treat me as a background. Don't bother with me. Who cares about me and who cares about me?"

After he said this, Gu Wanru finally felt better.

"Beibei, I heard that you were fostered in Ningcheng since you were a child." She turned the conversation to Song Beibei.

"Yes, I grew up in the countryside of Ningcheng. I moved to my uncle's house in Ningcheng just before the college entrance examination." Song Beibei ate the vegetables in small bites, very well-behaved.

Gu Wanru glanced at her son and found him absent-minded, so she secretly kicked his feet, telling him to take the initiative and not bring shame to the Lu family.

"So how did you do in the exam? What score did you get?" Lu Yuetang asked coldly.

This sentence is like hitting a snake at its most vulnerable part.

Song Beibei's face flushed instantly: "I just got 308 points in the exam and was admitted to a junior college in Beijing."

Just at this moment, Huouhua from the kitchen came out with potato chips. Hearing her words, he was shocked.

In her previous life, Hu Jingsheng scored this many points...

She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

"Come out~"

A cold voice sounded in my ears.

Hu Ouhua raised her eyes and found Lu Yuetang staring at her without blinking, so she walked out.

"Hey, what's that smell?"

Xie Guzhi, who was sitting on a chair drinking tea, suddenly moved. He stood up without caring about his image and turned his head to look in the direction of the fragrance. Then he found the potato chips in the big bowl that Hu Ouhua was holding.

"This, this is Ningcheng snack potato chips..." Xie Guzhi's eyes lit up, and he changed his aversion to food and suddenly felt an unprecedented desire.

"Yes, I specially asked Comrade Hu Ouhua from Ningcheng to make hometown food for you." Lu Yuetang stood up and walked to Hu Ouhua.

The fire in Huouhua's heart has not yet died down.

If it weren’t for Grandma Chang, she would never come to the Lu family.

Lu Yuetang took the bowl from her, and his cold voice, with a hint of apology, turned into a "thank you".

"Quick, quick, let me taste it, how many years have passed, how many years have passed..."

Xie Guzhi got up from his seat and walked forward on his own, ignoring Lu Yuetang's instructions. He took the bowl from him, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a potato chip covered with a transparent, sticky sauce.

The potatoes are fried until crispy and soft, and the slices are soaked in the soup. You will feel a sense of happiness as soon as you put them in your mouth.

Sweet, slightly spicy, and with the soft and sticky taste of potatoes... He was hit by stones, beaten with a shoulder pole, and starved for seven days. When his life was at stake, a woman secretly gave him a bowl of potato chips.

That was the only light in his life.

A bowl of life-saving potato chips.

That’s the taste…

As he ate, Xie Gushi's sharp eyes were filled with tears, which were a consolation for the pain of the past and a longing for a new life.

He ate piece after piece and soon finished the whole bowl.

This was the first time he had eaten so much after suffering from illness for so long, and he was so excited that he could hardly control himself.

"Yuetang, what's this girl's name?" Xie Guzhi asked.

"Huouhua."

After getting Lu Yuetang's answer, Xie Guzhi hurriedly said to Hu Ouhua, "Girl, are you willing to go to Grandpa's house and cook for him for a few days?"

When these words came out, everyone present was shocked.

Xie Guzhi is a veteran figure in a certain department and the founder of a faction. He has an extremely high status, but because of the special nature of his job, he generally does not come into contact with the cadres below him.

He was demoted in his early years, and after restoring order, he returned to his hometown in glory. Although he was no longer in the position he held, his status remained unshakable.

Unfortunately, there are only a few that catch his eye.

He actually took the initiative to invite Hu Ouhua.

"Why? She just made a bowl of ordinary potato chips. What qualifications does she have to be admitted to the hospital?" Xu Mindong was the first to disagree.

She called the chef Liu Chuan.

The Lu family had organized a banquet that was very prestigious, so how could it be overshadowed by the sudden appearance of Huouhua?

"Yes, Mr. Xie, you should think twice. She has always been vain and cunning. It would be bad if she leads your grandson astray..." Gu Wanru said hurriedly.

"Mom, how can you talk like that?" Lu Yuetang said unhappily.

good.

It would have been better if he didn't speak for Huouhua.

This opening was like stirring up a hornet's nest.

Gu Wanru looked cold and glared at her son. She suppressed her anger and said, "Okay, okay, you can forget everything, but don't forget that today is a blind date between you and Beibei. Have you considered Beibei's feelings when you speak for an outsider?"

Song Beibei suddenly felt as if she was being roasted over a fire.

She was very angry in her heart, thinking that Lu Yuetang was disregarding her dignity and speaking for another woman, but in order to win his favor, she still suppressed her grievance and said, "Auntie, don't be angry, Beibei doesn't care."

"Did you hear that? You are making a fuss out of nothing. Besides, only she can make this bowl of potato chips. Her Ningcheng home-cooked dishes are also top-notch. Isn't it natural for her to go to my teacher's house?" Lu Yuetang said.

Talent is always in demand everywhere.

These words made Gu almost feel like he was having a heart attack.

Does this son really not understand what is being said, or is he just pretending not to care?

OK, OK.

She doesn't want to deal with his mess yet.

"Okay, Hu Ouhua, who do you think is a better cook, between you and Chef Liu?" Gu Wanru stared at Hu Ouhua, determined to embarrass her.

Liu Chuan's face suddenly turned stern.

He felt extremely humiliated.

A senior chef who has won many awards was actually compared to a yellow-haired girl. He was so angry that he stood up and said, "I don't know what you mean. If you look down on me, Liu Chuan, you don't have to invite me to your house."

Xu Mindong felt dizzy.

She was expecting the Lu family's praise during dinner and praise after dinner, but what came instead was a storm.

Hu Ouhua couldn't help but want to laugh.

She just made a bowl of potato chips, but Gu was so excited. If they really wanted to compete, wouldn't she be so angry?

Instigate?

As if she wouldn't.

"Professor Gu, you don't have to use me to deliberately embarrass Chef Liu just to squeeze me. He is a first-class labor model in our Ningcheng and is often commended. Even I grew up reading his newspaper." Hu Ouhua said.

She walked to the table and ordered squirrel fish and braised pork...

"I was lucky enough to have tasted this fish dish from my sister once at home. I was envious of it for several years and drooled. I don't know how there is such delicious fish in the world."

"Each piece of this braised pork is cut into uniform sizes, and the knife skills are amazing."

With every word she spoke, Liu Chuan's expression softened a little. By the end, he was no longer angry at all and his face was filled with a broad smile.

"Girl, you finally have a good eye for pearls."

As he spoke, Liu Chuan walked up to Gu Wanru and changed his previous friendly attitude to become arrogant and cold.

"Before I entered the room, Comrade Xu said that everyone present was an important figure, and if I really cooked some Ningcheng dishes, I would be embarrassed. He specifically asked me to prepare some big dishes, so I cooked these popular dishes. But I, Liu Chuan, serve the people. Since it doesn't suit the appetite of the important figures, don't look for me again in the future. Goodbye!"
