31. As long as Jiang Shiyue is by his side, everything is fine
Hu Tianyou spotted Jiang Shiyue first and immediately greeted her, "Sister-in-law, you're back!"
Jiang Shiyue smiled sweetly, "Thank you for your hard work!"
Hu Tianyou grinned and waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's not hard, not hard."
Seeing a bunch of things hanging on Jiang Shiyue's bicycle, he couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to eat tonight?"
"We'll find out at dinner tonight."
Gu Yanan, who heard the conversation between the two, came over immediately and said, "I'll go back with you to cook."
He didn't want Jiang Shiyue to work too hard.
It’s impossible for one person to prepare meals for more than a dozen people.
Jiang Shiyue didn't refuse this time. He got off the bicycle and raised his chin, "Let's go."
Gu Yan'an pushed the cart, and the two of them walked back step by step.
In the sunlight, Gu Yan'an's muscular arms looked very powerful. Jiang Shiyue couldn't help licking her lips as she followed behind him.
The thought of such a strong man being hers made her feel happy.
When they got home, Jiang Shiyue put the suitcase into the room, while Gu Yan'an carried the bags hanging on the bicycle to the kitchen.
When Jiang Shiyue came to the kitchen, Gu Yan'an was already boiling water and washing the pot, and all the vegetables he bought were placed on the chopping board beside him.
Jiang Shiyue had her back turned, seemingly arranging the vegetables on the chopping board, but she was actually secretly buying pork in the mall.
While buying, he asked, "How many people came in total?"
Gu Yan'an thought for a moment and replied, "Twelve."
Jiang Shiyue heard this and bought some side dishes in the mall. Then he chuckled, "Fortunately, I bought enough vegetables, otherwise it might not be enough for tonight."
After saying that, he took out a large piece of meat, put it in a basin, scooped two scoops of water into it, and then started cutting it.
Because there were so many people, she couldn't just make one dish, so she divided the meat into several portions.
After Gu Yan'an cooked the rice, he walked over and asked, "What dishes do you want to make?"
Jiang Shiyue answered without even looking up, "Peel six potatoes, four cucumbers, pick the cowpeas, peel all the garlic, and wash the leeks, peppers, and eggplants."
On the way back, she had already thought about what dishes to cook.
Gu Yan'an just replied, "Okay." He quickly found the corresponding things, peeled them, picked them, washed them, and peeled them.
I have to say, it is much easier to have someone to help.
By the time Jiang Shiyue had finished cutting the meat, Gu Yan'an had almost prepared everything he wanted and was still peeling garlic.
Gu Yan'an also had to help in the kitchen, otherwise Jiang Shiyue could just buy peeled garlic in the mall, which wouldn't be so troublesome.
Jiang Shiyue took the cucumber, chopped it into pieces twice, changed the knife, and took out a slightly larger bowl from the cupboard. He put all the vegetables in the bowl, sprinkled them with salt and put them aside. Then he started to cut the potatoes into shreds.
Although Gu Yan'an was busy the whole time, his eyes were always on Jiang Shiyue.
Watching her cutting vegetables skillfully, there was nothing but shock in her eyes.
You have to know that Jiang Shiyue was a young lady who had never done housework before. The knife skills you just saw would be impossible without a few years of cooking experience.
Thinking of this, Gu Yan'an couldn't help but pursed his lips, but didn't ask any more questions.
There were some things Jiang Shiyue didn't want to talk about, so he didn't ask.
As long as Jiang Shiyue is by his side, everything is fine.
In addition to being amazed by Jiang Shiyue's knife skills, I have to say that watching Jiang Shiyue cutting vegetables is a complete visual enjoyment.
After all the side dishes were prepared, Jiang Shiyue stood up and started to light the fire and cook, while still instructing, "Remember to mince the garlic after you peel it."
"Okay!"
Maybe because I peeled too much garlic, tears naturally rolled down my eyes.
She couldn't help but feel lucky in her heart that he came back with her, otherwise Jiang Shiyue would be busy in the kitchen alone. The person crying now was Jiang Shiyue.
Gu Yan'an was just curious about one question, "Yueyue, what are you going to do with all this garlic?"
Jiang Shiyue answered while cooking, "I'm going to make garlic eggplant later, and the salad also needs minced garlic."
Thinking that Gu Yan'an tended to eat light food and the people who came to work probably had similar tastes, Jiang Shiyue didn't put much chili in the dishes she made, for fear that they would not be to his taste, so she only put chili in a few cold dishes.
By the time Gu Yan'an had finished chopping the garlic, Jiang Shiyue had already prepared two dishes.
Shredded pork with green pepper and stir-fried meat with cowpea.
The cowpeas are stir-fried with oil and some dried chilies are added to it. It looks very appetizing just by looking at it.
Gu Yan'an couldn't help but picked one up and put it in his mouth. Because it was too hot, he couldn't help but make a hissing sound in his mouth.
Jiang Shiyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "No, are you that greedy? You can't wait to eat it right after it comes out of the pot."
Gu Yan'an licked his lips, still savoring the taste, "It was mainly because it looked so appetizing that I couldn't help myself."
Jiang Shiyue shook his head helplessly, "You!"
Thinking of what Gu Yan'an had said before, that he wanted to learn how she cooked, Jiang Shiyue directly handed the spatula to Gu Yan'an, "Didn't you say before that you wanted to learn how to cook? Come on!"
Gu Yan'an was stunned for just one or two seconds after hearing this, and then took the spatula from Jiang Shiyue.
Originally, Gu Yan'an knew how to cook, but he always only put salt as seasoning, which made Jiang Shiyue feel that the food tasted unpalatable.
Jiang Shiyue is stir-frying leeks and eggs, a relatively simple dish.
Gu Yan'an flipped back and forth for a while. When he was about to add salt and prepare to serve, Jiang Shiyue stopped him and pointed to the seasoning jar beside him, "Add these two."
Jiang Shiyue puts a small spoon in each jar, just in case there is too much.
Facing Gu Yan'an's suspicious gaze, Jiang Shiyue spoke again, "One spoonful, the same."
Gu Yan'an nodded when he heard that, and added a spoonful of the same thing. He stir-fried it for a few more times before taking the dish out of the pot and adding some water to it.
Jiang Shiyue took out a pair of chopsticks from the cupboard, handed them to Gu Yan'an, and raised his chin, "You can try it and see if it tastes much better than just adding salt."
Gu Yan'an just picked up a little bit of leeks. After all, eggs were still relatively expensive in that era.
This person is Gu Yan'an. If it were anyone else, he would have quarreled with Jiang Shiyue and accused her of being a spendthrift.
Since the salary has been paid, you can just eat whatever you want. But Jiang Shiyue prepared such a sumptuous meal and didn't treat the money seriously at all.
Gu Yan'an chewed slowly for a long time, and finally nodded, "It's true."
Although the taste is a little different from that made by Jiang Shiyue, it is indeed much better than just adding salt.
Jiang Shiyue just smiled and said, "Then let's continue."
Gu Yan'an washed the pot first, then asked, "What to do next?"
