First peel the potatoes, cut into thick slices, then cut into strips, and soak them in water for five minutes to soak out the starch.
Wash the bacon, slice it, fry it in oil, sprinkle it with chopped green onions. Since the bacon is already salty, there is no need to add salt. Then steam it together with the washed rice.
Gu Ye's family still uses a wood-fired stove with two large pots and two pot chambers. Jiang Yue had seen this type of stove chamber, which is common in rural areas, when she was a blogger and shooting videos in her previous life, so she was quite familiar with using it.
Although there was some problem when starting the fire, Jiang Yue quickly figured out how to use it.
While the rice is cooking, clean another large pot, pour in oil, and fry the potato strips until they are browned. They are fragrant and delicious even when eaten dry.
Jiang Yue went into the kitchen and brought out bacon rice and pickled cabbage, and saw Ningning swallowing her saliva and staring at the French fries.
It turns out that no child can resist the temptation of French fries with ketchup!
Jiang Yue smiled slightly and pretended to take the fries. "What? Don't you want to eat? Then I'll take it away!"
"Dad!" Ningning was anxious and clenched her little hands together.
But since Gu Ye didn't say anything, she didn't dare to eat it. What if her mother really had poisoned the fries?
"It's no use calling dad. If you don't want to eat, I'll eat it alone!" Jiang Yue laughed.
At this time, a big hand reached out and took the plate from Jiang Yue. Gu Ye reached out and picked up a French fry, glanced at Jiang Yue, put the French fry in his mouth, and took a bite. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and it was indeed very fragrant.
Gu Ye's frown slowly relaxed. He was about to reach out to take a few more, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Jiang Yue slapped him in the face.
"Go wash your hands!" Jiang Yue looked at Gu Ye with sharp eyes, and the muscles under his shirt tensed up. He was actually a little scared in his heart.
This man is really handsome, but also really scary!
In fact, being able to tame such a man should give you a great sense of accomplishment. Moreover, the more unruly a man is, the more loyal he will be once he is tamed.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue suddenly shuddered. Forget it, forget it. She is not worthy of having Gu Ye, the owl wolf. She should just leave him to the heroine!
Jiang Yue just wants to survive!
"Okay, you don't have to wash it!" Jiang Yue immediately became timid under Gu Ye's cold gaze. She bared her teeth and pushed the plate in front of Gu Ye very attentively, "Captain Gu, please use it!"
When seeing Jiang Yue's servile reaction, the corners of Gu Ye's tightly-packed mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.
"I'm going to wash my hands!" He said stiffly, stood up and walked towards the well.
Jiang Yue immediately smiled and praised, "That's right! Little Ningning knows to wash hands before eating. It's impossible that our captain Gu is not as good as little Ningning, right?"
Not only did Gu Ye's mouth twitch, but the expression on his handsome face was also somewhat out of control.
Jiang Yue actually said that he was not as good as Ningning?
When Gu Ye came back after washing his hands, he saw Ning Ning's expectant eyes and nodded. Jiang Yue had eaten it herself, so nothing should happen.
Although Ningning was still a little timid and scared, the French fries in front of her were too tempting, so she stretched out her little hand and grabbed one.
"Here, it tastes better with some ketchup!" Jiang Yue pushed the small bowl towards Ningning.
"Tomatoes? Do you mean tomatoes? Are there tomatoes for sale at this time of year?" Gu Ye hadn't noticed it before, but now he looked at the black thing in the small bowl and expressed his doubt.
"Oh, that's it!"
Jiang Yue knew that it would be difficult for her to dispel Gu Ye's disgust and prejudice towards her by just cooking a meal, so in the face of his doubts, she explained kindly: "Now is indeed not the season for tomatoes, so I steamed the sweet potatoes, mashed them, and then fried sugar and water to mix them together..."
"Although it doesn't look very good, it tastes good! But Ningning, let me tell you, when tomatoes are in season, I'll make you tomato sauce. Tomato sauce is sour and sweet, and it's delicious!"
Ningning's eyes lit up when she heard this.
Ketchup, French fries, she remembered it!
"Okay, let's stop talking so much. Let's eat!" Jiang Yue quickly served rice to Gu Ye, and said to Ning Ning who was crunching French fries, "Ning Ning, stop after eating five more. Eat the rice first, and then eat the French fries, okay?"
Ningning nodded obediently and counted five French fries and put them in her own small bowl.
Gu Ye narrowed his eyes and glanced at Jiang Yue, something flashed in his dark eyes.
Although there were only two dishes, Gu Ye was surprised that Jiang Yue's cooking skills were very good. He ate two large bowls, and even Ning Ning finished the food in her small bowl.
Jiang Yue originally wanted to show off her meal, but she was too weak and had a poor appetite, so she could only eat half a bowl and could not eat any more.
After finishing the meal, Jiang Yue stood up to clean up the dishes.
"Let me do it!" Gu Ye also stood up and took the chopsticks from Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue looked at the handsome profile of the man, her eyes rolled, and she decided to push the issue a little further, "Then can you wash the dishes too?"
When she saw Gu Ye looking up at her, she quickly pounded her waist and said in a coquettish voice, "I've been working all afternoon. I'm so tired! I can't even straighten my waist!"
Gu Ye: "...I know, go and take a rest!"
Jiang Yue smiled as she watched Gu Ye clean up the table and put the dishes and chopsticks into the basin beside the well, silently nodding her head in her heart.
He’s handsome and willing to do housework, extra point!
Jiang Yue knew that one meal would not change Gu Ye's impression of her, but she also keenly noticed that the way Gu Ye looked at her during the meal was not as cold as in the morning.
"Knock knock!" At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Ningning, go open the door!" Jiang Yue came into the room. Gu Ye was washing dishes, so he asked Ningning to open the door.
The wooden door opened with a creaky sound. Ningning was biting French fries. When she saw the person coming, she uttered an indistinct voice, "Auntie Xiuxiu!"
The person who came was Li Xiuxiu. She was holding a bowl with food in it and standing timidly at the door.
"Ningning, who's here?" Gu Ye turned around and looked over.
"Captain Gu, it's me, Li Xiuxiu." Li Xiuxiu saw Gu Ye and her face immediately turned red as she spoke.
"Oh, why are you here at this time? Is there something wrong?" Gu Ye stacked the washed dishes, put them aside to drain the water, picked up the towel to wipe his hands, and walked towards the door.
He thought that Li Xiuxiu came here at this time to deliver Ningning's leftover things. Occasionally, when Ningning's things were left at Chen Baozhu's house, Li Hongying would ask Li Xiuxiu to deliver them.
Seeing Gu Ye washing the dishes, Li Xiuxiu couldn't help but despise Jiang Yue even more in her heart, what a lazy woman! She didn't do any work, but let the man wash the dishes!
"Captain Gu, my sister is worried that you and Ningning won't have anything to eat tonight, so she asked me to bring you dinner." Li Xiuxiu blushed whenever she spoke to Gu Ye, and her voice sounded like a mosquito's hum.
Li Hongying said that the lazy woman Jiang Yue didn't let her cook today, so Gu Ye's house must be empty, so she specifically told Li Xiuxiu in the afternoon not to give Ningning food, so that Ningning would starve until she got home in the evening. It didn't matter if Gu Ye himself was hungry, but if Ningning had nothing to eat, he would definitely quarrel with Jiang Yue.
Then Li Hongying arranged for Li Xiuxiu to come and deliver the meal, so that Gu Ye would definitely be grateful to her.
