Chapter 521 Jiang Da is disliked, but is conquered by delicious food (Part 1)
Without waiting for the question to be asked, Han Shen said bluntly: "I am Xiaoru's brother, and I came here to recognize my relatives."
Jiang Da became obviously nervous, and wiped his palms back and forth against the seam of his pants.
He thought his actions were very secretive, but in fact everyone saw them.
The old man snorted again, and the word "dissatisfaction" was almost written on his face.
At this moment, Han Yunru suddenly stood up and walked over to Jiang Da, took the bag of vegetables from his hand, and asked softly, "You're back so early, is the store busy?"
Jiang Da dodged to the side, preventing her from taking it: "Be careful with your hands! The doctor said you need to take good care of them..."
After saying that, he turned around and asked the old man and Han Shen: "Have you had breakfast? I'm preparing to make porridge for Aru, want to eat some together?"
Han Shen subconsciously looked at Han Yunru, and when he saw that she had no intention of objecting, he breathed a sigh of relief: "That would be troublesome."
Jiang Da: "No trouble! No trouble!"
The old man was going to refuse, as he was not someone who was easily pleased, but the temptation of having breakfast with his daughter was too great.
There was no way he could refuse.
"Well... just drink a bowl."
Jiang Da nodded in agreement, picked up the dishes and ran into the kitchen.
"Xiaoru, you should come back with us..."
Seeing that the old man was about to bring up the past again, Han Shen was overwhelmed and changed the subject directly -
"Xiao Ru, I heard that my brother-in-law is a very good cook. There's always a queue when he eats at his restaurant. Today, thanks to you, I can finally taste his food myself."
Han Yunru pursed her lips and smiled faintly: "He likes cooking, and the taste is pretty good."
Han Shen also laughed. At that moment, the brother and sister were extremely similar.
Han Qishan was stunned on the spot.
Why does he feel that Xiaoru is closer to Han Shen than to him?
Jiang Fuyue was just a spectator and had no room to perform at all.
However, watching the show is also very interesting.
Soon, the aroma of cooking wafted from the kitchen. Han Yunru stood up and said, "It should be ready. I'll go over and take a look."
Han Shen's nostrils twitched slightly, and just for the fragrance alone, he couldn't help but give Jiang Da a score of 90.
Cuckoo——
Han Qishan's stomach growled twice.
"Well..." He touched his nose awkwardly, "It's a normal physiological phenomenon, ahem... normal!"
Han Shen: “…”
Han Yunru: “…”
The old man was stubborn: "That's what it is!"
He could deceive others, but not Han Shen.
Before the two of them went out in the morning, they had clearly had breakfast at the hotel, and Han Qishan ate a lot.
It’s been less than two hours, how could I be hungry again?
Just be greedy, and don’t admit it.
Tsk…
Han Yunru went into the kitchen, and the couple whispered to each other for a while, probably explaining what happened in the "family recognition incident."
Jiang Da didn't ask any further questions, and this simple and honest man was actually a little happy.
The daughter-in-law finally found her family.
From now on, she is no longer an orphan and no longer without a mother's home.
No one can laugh at her!
"The porridge is ready. Don't carry it. It's heavy and hot."
Han Yunru glared at him: "I just have a small cut on the palm of my hand, I'm not disabled."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Never mention these disabled or handicapped people again! Not even as a joke."
"You don't let me do anything. If that's not cruel... uh... what is it?"
Jiang Da looked around and said, "Well, you take the chopsticks, is that all right?"
Han Yunru had no choice but to turn around and get the dishes and chopsticks.
“Eh——”
"What's the matter?" she sighed.
"I told you to grab the chopsticks, not the bowl. Leave it there, I'll take it out later."
“…”
The porridge was cooked in an old clay pot, and a full bowl was placed in the middle of the dining table. The thick rice grains were paired with tender green vegetables, and garnished with horizontal shredded green onions and ginger.
The white, tender and smooth Basa fish fillets are hidden under the rice grains and soup, with a little gray-brown fish skin occasionally showing.
Gulp——
Han Qishan swallowed.
Maybe the sound was too loud, which attracted the attention of Han Shen who was standing next to him.
Jiang Da used a spoon to serve a bowl to each person.
Originally, he subconsciously pushed the first bowl to Han Yunru, as if the same action had happened thousands of times and formed muscle memory.
But he suddenly realized that the situation was different now. He turned his hand and the bowl of porridge fell steadily in front of Han Qishan.
"You first—"
"Ahem!" The old man's expression straightened up. "No need. Give it to Xiaoru first."
Jiang Da was a very honest man. After hearing this, he said "oh" and took it back to his wife.
Han Shen thought that the old man was going to make his nose not a nose and his eyes not eyes again.
But not this time.
On the contrary, the old man even nodded with satisfaction.
Next is for Han Qishan and Han Shen.
The latter said he would come by himself.
Jiang Da refused.
Han Yunru, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up: "Let Jiang Da do it. You sit down."
Han Shen was somewhat flattered and murmured, "Sister..."
Han Yunru's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she lowered her head to drink her porridge.
The man was not disappointed. He even smiled and began to drink his porridge quietly.
The fragrance spreads as soon as you take a bite. The plump rice grains are combined with the freshness of the vegetables, and the smooth texture of the Basa fish is so delicious that you want to swallow your tongue.
Han Shen finally understood that the taste was not "okay" at all; it was clearly comparable to that of a super chef!
My sister is being humble with him.
But on second thought, this might be a form of protection and closeness to Jiang Da.
After all, humility is the attitude used when evaluating oneself, while praise and flattery are attitudes used towards others.
So, in Xiaoru's eyes, Jiang Da is one of her own.
And they...
Han Shen smiled bitterly, maybe he was not even as good as outsiders.
Inviting them to dinner was probably just a courtesy.
Thinking of this, Han Shen suddenly felt that the porridge in the bowl was no longer fragrant.
Looking at Han Qishan again, he had wanted to despise Jiang Da to death before, but now he was holding on to the empty bowl and refused to let go, tacitly acknowledging that he was the one who had to add another bowl.
"...Okay then, I'll have another bowl. I can't eat more than that." She was reserved and dignified.
Jiang Da nodded in agreement and personally filled a large bowl for him.
Then he went into the kitchen and took out the pickled vegetables he had made some time ago, cut them into strips, mixed them with seasonings, put them on a plate and served them on the table.
Han Qishan looked disgusted: "What is this?"
"Would you like to try some of the pickles I made myself?"
Han Qishan glanced at his daughter and thought, "Never mind, just give Xiaoru some face." He reluctantly picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, chewed twice, and paused.
Then……
He reluctantly took the second chopstick, and then the third...
Han Shen: “?”
Finally, he finished the second bowl of porridge.
The old man pretended to put down his chopsticks, but within two seconds he picked them up again, picked up some pickles, put them down again, and picked them up again...
After several times, Jiang Da was a little confused.
Han Yunru acted as if she hadn't seen it.
Jiang Da wanted to ask his wife about the details but was denied access. In the end, he could only bite the bullet and cautiously ask, "How about I serve you another bowl? It's most appetizing with some pickled vegetables."
The old man was silent for a moment. "...You're right. The pickles would be too salty without the porridge. Could you please serve me another bowl?"
Jiang Da quickly took action.
Han Shen: "..." Didn't you agree on "just one more bowl, I can't eat more"?
The dog is still your best dog.
Han Qishan: Slurp, snap, wonderful~
Jiang Fuyue almost laughed out loud. This old man was really weird.
Jiang Da was the complete opposite. Not only did he not laugh, but he was also on high alert, fearing that the old man would be dissatisfied with something.
Finally, “…do you want more?”
Han Qishan waved his hand: "Enough. Burp——"
At that time, he had already eaten three bowls and was very full.
Han Yunru put down her spoon. In fact, she had finished eating a long time ago. She delayed it until now just to save some face for the person who ate last.
Han Shen curled his lips, not hiding his disdain for his father.
Jiang Da felt that he had nothing to say and didn't know how to speak, so he cleared the dishes and went to wash them.
Han Yunru followed into the kitchen.
"Don't... I'll take care of these. You go out and keep them company. It took a lot of effort to find them."
Han Yunru's eyes suddenly sore, and she scolded him: "Are you stupid?"
Jiang Da was stunned for a moment, then he smiled innocently: "Wife, you just realized how stupid I am today?"
Han Yunru bit her lip in anger.
Does he even know what "recognizing one's relatives" means? !
Jiang Da noticed that her face looked strange and started to worry: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Han Yunru didn't say anything.
The man paced back and forth anxiously. Suddenly, he stopped and put his hands on his wife's shoulders.
His eyes were serious and his tone was cautious: "Wife, you know, I'm stupid and dull. If you don't tell me many things, I may never figure them out. But you have to tell me, then I know how to solve them, right?"
The woman could no longer hold back her tears, and they suddenly fell: "...They want to take me to the imperial capital."
