As soon as they stepped into the family compound, the lights coming from the houses in the distance indicated that Gu Shaoxuan had already returned.
Xia Enruo quickened her pace, taking two steps at a time, and walked towards her front door.
The moment I pushed open the door, a wonderful aroma filled the air.
This tastes like stewed meat!
"Shaoxuan, are you back?"
Xia Enruo called out when no one was looking.
When Gu Shaoxuan heard his wife calling him, he hurriedly came out of the kitchen.
"Enruo, you're back. Go wash your hands, let's eat now."
"It smells delicious! What did you make?"
Xia Enruo was a little surprised. She had planned to cook it herself when she got back, but she didn't expect to be served a ready-made meal.
"Braised pork, would you like to try it? I learned how to make it back in the army from Wu Daqiang, the cook."
Gu Shaoxuan was supervising training in the army this time, and every evening after dinner he would go to the mess hall to ask Wu Daqiang to teach him how to cook a few hearty dishes.
He knew Xia Enruo was a good cook, but he couldn't always let his wife cook while he just waited to eat ready-made meals.
So every day in the kitchen of the mess hall, Gu Shaoxuan experimented again and again, and finally the taste changed from ordinary to flavorful.
This put Squad Leader Wu in a difficult position. He had to accompany the Chief of Staff to taste the food every day, and even if it tasted terrible, he had to eat it. Being a mentor was no easy task for him.
When he first heard that the chief of staff was learning to cook so he could cook for his sister-in-law at home, he immediately refused.
He knew that Xia Enruo's cooking skills were so high that he himself was no match for her. Wasn't this like showing off one's skills in front of Lu Ban (a legendary master chef)?
However, the chief of staff gave him a strict order: he had to teach him five main dishes, as well as how to make pork and cabbage buns.
Squad Leader Wu had no choice but to use his best skills to teach the procedures step by step.
Xia Enruo went to the water room to wash her hands, and when she came out, the dishes were already on the table.
"Shaoxuan, you're really something! You even have steamed buns. Did you just make these?"
Gu Shaoxuan grinned and nodded.
"Wife, try what I've made. Do you like it?"
Looking at the braised pork, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, white rice porridge, and steamed buns on the round table.
Xia Enruo felt a warmth in her heart. This was the benefit of having a home. Just like in her previous life, every time she returned home, her parents would have the meal prepared and served.
I never imagined that my husband would do this in this life.
She picked up a steamed bun, took a bite, and it was still piping hot, fresh out of the steamer.
"Is it pork and cabbage filling? It tastes good. Shao Xuan, don't lie to me. You didn't bring this back from the cafeteria, did you?"
The taste was exactly the same as what she ate in the army; it was her favorite food in the whole canteen.
Last time, Wu Daqiang took a bag of them for himself. At that time, he was busy with the shop renovation every day. He heated up two for breakfast every day and finished them in a few days.
"Wife, I swear to God, I made this myself. Come and see, I still have some filling left over, I'll wrap more tomorrow."
Gu Shaoxuan panicked upon hearing this. Why would his wife doubt him? Could it be that the taste was too good? He was also a little excited.
Xia Enruo entered the kitchen and saw the remaining filling and dough for the buns. She then realized that Gu Shaoxuan had actually managed to make the buns that were served in the cafeteria. It seemed that her studies had not been in vain.
"Here's a sweet kiss for you. It's so delicious, it's exactly the same as what we make in the cafeteria."
She tiptoed, lifted the hem of her skirt, and kissed her husband on the cheek.
Xia Enruo tasted the braised pork and scrambled eggs again, and they tasted good as well. It seems that Wu Daqiang's job as a master was not in vain, as his apprentice's skills are getting better and better.
"Enruo, how are the preparations for tomorrow?"
"Everything is ready. Oh, I need to get up early tomorrow morning to go to the shop and cook the dishes first, and then go to the company. The opening ceremony is scheduled for 8:08."
After the meal, Gu Shaoxuan got up to clear the table, but Xia Enruo stopped him.
"I'll do it, you go and rest."
"Enruo, you've been busy all day and you're much more tired than me, so don't try to compete with me for this little bit of work."
"You rest for a bit. I've boiled some water for your bath. You can take a bath first, and then I'll wash your feet."
Xia Enruo listened with great affection, thinking that this one-stop service for coming home was truly thorough, while she herself had become a hands-off manager who could simply push away the dishes and chopsticks.
However, Gu Shaoxuan was happy for her to do so. Seeing his wife resting made him work even harder.
Do you know how to do a spa treatment?
Xia Enruo asked deliberately.
In her past life, she often went to high-end clubs for beauty and body treatments. Every time she came out of the spa, she felt so relaxed. She misses it.
"Die? What's that?"
Gu Shaoxuan was full of questions.
Xia Enruo knew he hadn't heard of it before, but people in the 1980s had no concept of this. They were already quite satisfied with their time travel after they had just eaten their fill, so why would they think about these things?
I've been in Yongning for so long, and there isn't a single beauty salon on the whole street, let alone a spa.
"It's just a massage. It's okay, I'll do it for you when I have time later."
Xia Enruo did these things frequently in her previous life. Even though she had never actually done them, she knew the process by heart, including the acupoints!
"Wife, let this die. Is it something from your era again?"
"What do you mean 'die'? It's SPA. The English word SPA also stands for Health by water."
Xia Enru explained.
"Healthy water?"
Gu Shaoxuan said it casually after hearing it.
"Wow, you can speak English! Yes, that's exactly what I mean."
Xia Enruo was surprised that Gu Shaoxuan actually translated it.
"Honey, don't forget I also went to military academy, we studied that too."
"Oh, I forgot. My husband is also a high achiever."
Xia Enruo hugged Gu Shaoxuan's waist from behind, pressed her face against his back, and said coquettishly.
