"Dad, Dad, I want to eat that." Zhou Mei held her own bowl and pointed to the spicy duck pieces on the table with her other hand, wanting to eat them.
That meat smells so good, she really wants to eat it.
"No, you're too young to eat this." Zhou Cunzhi refused to give his daughter this, since it was a spicy dish.
"No, no, Daddy, I want to eat!" Zhou Mei pleaded.
"Give it to her. This duck meat isn't very spicy, and it'll be fine for people her age to eat," Zhou Qingyun said.
The spicy duck cubes he made were actually at a level of spiciness that suited the tastes of people who couldn't handle spicy food, and it was also suitable for children.
They've seen kids as young as a few years old eating spicy snacks before, so they don't restrict Zhou Mei and the others from eating spicy food.
"Daddy~"
With her grandfather's permission, Zhou Mei confidently pushed her bowl in front of her father, asking him to put more pieces of duck meat on her plate.
Zhou Xian also pushed his bowl, he really wanted to eat too.
As Chen Suwen ate the spicy duck pieces, she couldn't help but feel nostalgic.
When she was dating Zhou Qingyun, she liked to go to a Hunan restaurant during her holidays. Of course, it was just an ordinary street-side restaurant.
We ordered whatever was available in the kitchen, such as water spinach and sweet potato leaves.
Another dish is stir-fried roast duck.
Chop the old duck into small pieces, slightly larger than peanuts, and stir-fry it with dried chili peppers and other ingredients. The taste is truly spicy and fragrant.
This spicy duck cubes aren't as crispy and fragrant as the spicy roasted duck cubes, but the taste is still pretty good.
“I kind of miss the days when we were dating,” Chen Suwen said to Zhou Qingyun, who was sitting next to her.
Zhou Qingyun placed some diced duck meat into her bowl, then added a piece of sweet potato leaf with his chopsticks. "Hmm, does this remind you of when we used to eat at those little restaurants?"
Chen Suwen nodded.
The couple talked about their courtship before they got married, and Zhou Qingyun and his wife didn't see anything wrong with it.
They might think their parents were talking about things before they were born, a time when they could also eat at small restaurants.
"So delicious!" The children didn't care what the adults said; after tasting the spicy duck pieces, their faces were filled with happiness.
"Little sister, this chili is even tastier, you should try it." Zhao Lexin picked up a piece of dried chili and put it in Zhou Mei's bowl so that she could taste it.
This dried chili is fragrant and not spicy at all. Its spiciness is similar to that of a horn pepper or a green pepper. Zhao Lexin liked it very much after taking a bite.
After being coated in starch and fried, they become especially crispy and fragrant, and taste incredibly delicious.
"This spicy duck is perfect with alcohol, it's so delicious." Zhou Cunzong was also very satisfied with the dish, he never expected his father to be such a good cook.
Zhou Cunzong popped dried chili peppers and peanuts into his mouth, crunching them with relish, his face full of lingering enjoyment.
Everyone else was also very satisfied with the dish; they were surprised that duck could be cooked this way, and it was almost as good as roast duck.
"Dad, I thought Mom's cooking was already pretty good, but I didn't expect your cooking to be just as good." Zhou Cunzong couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's all thanks to your mother's good teaching," Zhou Qingyun said modestly.
Actually, he wasn't flattering his wife; his culinary skills were definitely inferior to hers. But he still humbly asked her for advice, just so she wouldn't have to cook every day.
Sometimes he would want to cook for her, but he wouldn't make her cook for every meal every day just because she was a good cook.
Sometimes when neither of them feels like cooking, they order takeout and don't cook every meal themselves.
But Zhou Qingyun still diligently studied cooking skills, so that the food he made would make his wife happy and himself happy too.
"The chili peppers were also grown by your mother, and I learned the techniques for making this dish from your mother."
As Zhou Qingyun spoke, he said to his two sons, "You two should also study hard, and cooking is also your responsibility."
“Your wives don’t work, but they still have a lot to do at home, so you should be understanding.”
"Ultimately, the most important thing is that you learn it carefully so that you can cook it for your mother later."
That last sentence is the key point.
The daughters-in-law have their own husbands to care for them; he only needs to focus on his own wife.
Neither Zhou Cunzhi nor Zhou Cunzong thought there was anything wrong with what their father said, and they both nodded seriously.
Xu Huixue and Shen Wenxiu exchanged a glance and saw relief in each other's eyes.
Although their mothers-in-law had a bad reputation in the past, and many people sympathized with them for having such mothers-in-law, they still married the people they loved without hesitation.
Now their in-laws don't seem to want to make things difficult for them, and their husband treats them very well, much better than many others.
"Mom, I heard that Su Tiantian is getting married." Xu Huixue suddenly started gossiping with Chen Suwen.
Chen Suwen paused, "Getting married? Didn't we just get engaged?"
Not long after Su Tiantian went to their house and said those ambiguous things, the Su family said they would arrange a blind date for her as soon as possible.
It seems the marriage arrangements with the Gao family have been finalized. I didn't expect the wedding to be happening so soon.
Xu Huixue nodded, "My family said that the man's side is a bit anxious and wants to marry her as soon as possible."
The Su family certainly wanted to avoid any unforeseen complications, so when the Gao family said they wanted to hold the wedding as soon as possible, they agreed.
Anyway, nowadays weddings don't follow the traditional three letters and six rites; just choosing a suitable day and holding a banquet is enough.
If possible, they might even get a marriage certificate.
