Xiaoguo counted and found that there were exactly four dishes and one soup, which was fine.
Xiaoguo seemed very excited as she hadn’t cooked for a long time. However, she felt that the freshness of the ingredients played a big role.
There is no chef who is not excited when encountering fresh ingredients. The motivation to cook increases.
The aroma of hot fruit wafted out, and the people who were originally busy in the kitchen slowed down their pace, came to her side, and stretched their necks to see what was in the pot.
Xiaoguo did not hide anything and openly invited people who had no work to come and visit.
When those people heard her say this, they gathered around her in a crowd. The few people who were left with work were extremely anxious and wanted to finish their work right away.
It was okay for them to surround him, but they squeezed Jiang Danhe away in an instant. At first he stood next to Xiaoguo, but now he stood three meters away. He had no chance to squeeze in. He could only look at Xiaoguo helplessly, hoping that she would notice that her beloved husband was missing and take the initiative to look for him. Otherwise, he had to use force to squeeze in. After all, there were women here, and it would be a big sin if he hurt her again.
Unfortunately, Xiaoguo really didn't have time to look for him because she was busy explaining to others how to disassemble sea cucumbers and several ways to eat seafood. She was very busy.
Through communication, I learned that the people in the kitchen thought that sea cucumbers were inedible because they looked too strange. After they caught them, they thought they were strange insects in the sea and threw them back into the sea. I was very curious when I saw her cleaning them up at that time, and now that I have the chance, I have to ask more questions.
If the food hadn't been ready, she would have had no chance to escape.
The two men carried the tray and walked towards their residence. At this moment, the sun had already set outside and lanterns were lit on the road.
Xiao Guo was thankful, "Luckily the food is ready, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to get out."
"Hmph." Jiang Shanhe uttered a light sound through his nose.
Xiaoguo immediately sensed something was wrong and looked at him curiously. What was going on?
"I thought you were happy." So happy that you didn't care if he was gone.
Jiang Shanhe thought aggrievedly, his face becoming more and more stern.
Xiaoguo is very smart. He guessed the source of the problem immediately and a smile appeared in his eyes. What a big boy he is.
Then I thought of a solution, put on an aggrieved expression, and complained, "Do you know how much I missed you just now?"
Sure enough, when Jiang Shanhe heard this, his ears perked up and his eyes changed from indifference just now to concern now.
Xiao Guo lowered her head, hiding the smile in her eyes, and whispered, "I was surrounded by a crowd and had no time to react. You didn't even come to protect me. Do you know how many times I called you in my heart?"
Xiao Guo was very good at putting the blame on someone else, and Jiang Danhe fell into her trap. She wanted to reach out to comfort her helplessly, but she was still holding the tray in her hand, and Xiao Guo was not ready to slow down, so he could only coax her with gentle words.
Xiaoguo didn't put on an excessive show and just let it go, easily moving on from the topic.
She was not trying to fool Jiang Shanhe, but she really missed him. The crowd surrounded her suddenly and she didn't notice that Jiang Shanhe had left her. When she looked for him again, he was already outside the crowd.
Facing a group of eager faces, Xiaoguo really couldn't bear to let them give in, so she could only let Jiang Shanhe down for the time being. She wanted to quickly and concisely explain the seafood processing methods and the basics of the cooking method, so that she could get out of this situation.
But ideas are just ideas after all, and reality aroused their curiosity even more. They gradually discussed a lot and suddenly forgot the time. They didn't even realize it was dark. If Jiang Shanhe hadn't called her when the meal was ready, she would have forgotten that there were several mouths waiting for dinner at home.
"Let's go back quickly. I think Zhuangzhuang and Xiaoyi are starving."
Xiaoguo winked at Jiang Shanhe mischievously, then took the lead and walked quickly. Jiang Shanhe smiled helplessly, caught up with her, and the two walked towards the house side by side.
Along the way, the two of them never expected that the aroma of the food would cause quite a stir.
This special fragrance attracted many people. They were not the only ones on the island who were tired of boiled seafood. It was also dinner time. Looking at the boiled seafood in front of them, they suddenly smelled a strong aroma. Their tongues started to move and they swallowed saliva frantically.
People were swallowing while looking for the source of the fragrance. All of a sudden, ministers and ladies came outside one after another, breathing in the fragrance in the air, and sent out a large number of servants to inquire about the source. For a while, the island was very lively.
–
On the other hand, Xiaoguo and Jiang Shanhe had no idea that this would cause such a stir.
By the time the two of them returned with the meal, the two children, one adult and two children, were already starving and were lying on the dining table drying the dried fish.
When he saw the two figures appear, he immediately sat up straight, his eyes emitting one hundred thousand volts of electricity, and were fixed directly on the dinner plate.
If they had not retained some sense, the three of them would have rushed over and swept up all the food, eating it with their fingers.
They didn't eat much at noon, and after an afternoon, they were so hungry that only gastric juice was left. If they didn't eat again, they would swallow the gastric juice on their own.
"A pack of hungry wolves?" Xiao Guo was suddenly startled by their reaction, as if they would have transformed if he was a step later.
"Mom, please hurry up, we are so hungry and weak~"
He raised his arms like a show-off, and then dropped them heavily, showing that he had no strength.
Xiao Guo smiled embarrassedly, "Sorry, sorry~"
Two large trays of food were neatly placed on the table. Jiang Shanhe didn't want Xiaoguo to continue being busy, so he forced her to sit down while he placed the food on the table.
Li Shouji and the others were so hungry that they forgot about it. They stared at the food without blinking, holding their bowls and chopsticks in their hands, waiting for the word "dine".
Xiaoguo picked up the chopsticks and looked at the busy Jiang Shanhe, feeling warm in her heart. It seemed that he was a bit like a good husband and father.
Just when Xiaoguo was finding his own thoughts funny, Jiang Shanhe had already announced that dinner was ready.
In an instant, the frequency of using chopsticks to add dishes almost blinded Xiaoguo's eyes. This speed actually existed. It turned out that television was based on reality.
Xiaoguo held the bowl and chopsticks and looked at Jiang Shanhe, the surprise in their eyes could hardly be hidden. Seeing how fast the dishes were eaten, the two did not dare to delay and joined in.
Halfway through the meal, an unexpected person arrived.
This was the first time Xiaoguo saw him in private since coming here.
As soon as Shao Zhan came in, he sniffed for a long time. After confirming that it was this place, he quickly walked forward, found a stool and sat down, then took out the bowl and chopsticks from his pocket and served the rice and dishes in one go.
"Don't worry about me, just eat."
Although Shao Zhan looked anxious while eating, he was still elegant, and the upbringing that emanated from his nature was still present.
None of them understood the gibberish in the middle, but they all got the general meaning. To put it bluntly, here comes another freeloader.
Before a few people could help showing expressions of disgust, reality slapped them hard in the face.
The meal, which was originally enough, was already in jeopardy as someone else joined in. It became less and less. Several men suddenly felt a sense of crisis. Their eyes became busy and the air was a little tense. They picked up their chopsticks much faster.
Fortunately, Xiaoguo was full and left the "battlefield" early after saying "enjoy your meal".
She should have stayed away from this troublesome place as early as possible, and what happened later proved that she knew the future...
