Lin Yanbai's plan went smoothly. She asked someone to say hello to Gu Xingfan and went home first.
When she got home, she sorted out the things stored in her system, took out a processed chicken, a small piece of beef, and a piece of particularly good-looking pork belly. She planned to make braised pork later.
In addition to the meat, she also took out some eggs and various seasonings drawn by the system. This was the secret to her delicious cooking. Other people kept using salt and soy sauce over and over again, which was why no matter what they cooked, it always tasted the same!
She didn't dare take too much. Gu Xingfan was a thief, and it was only because she hid it well. If it were someone else, they would definitely be discovered. Lin Yanbai felt a little proud.
Xiao Qi: ...That's not the case. Humph, woman, don't you know how to analyze things? I won't tell you. Let's see when you can figure it out!
Lin Yanbai certainly didn't know what Xiaoqi was thinking. She had just sorted out the things and put the seasonings in order when Gu Xingfan came back.
"Why did you leave early today?" Gu Xingfan was a little curious.
"Didn't I go to see Wang Shuang yesterday? She said she had some good stuff and asked me to go get it from her today. Look, the things are all over there. It was so worth it to go there this time!" Lin Yanbai tried her best to make her performance more perfect, striving to gain his trust.
Gu Xingfan followed her gaze and saw that there were indeed quite a lot of things. They all looked like solid goods, so there would be no problem in putting together a few dishes.
As for the source of the things, just assume that they were bought from Wang Shuang! As a mature and good husband, you have to learn to play deaf and dumb, so he sensibly didn't ask any more questions.
On the day off, Li Mingcheng came to the door. Coincidentally, when the knock came, Gu Xingfan was watering the vegetable garden with his trouser legs rolled up, so Lin Yanbai went to open the door.
Li Mingcheng came in a hurry and didn't have time to change his clothes. He came in police uniform. It was only then that Lin Yanbai realized that the carefree Li Mingcheng who always followed Gu Xingfan was actually a policeman!
Seeing his sister-in-law open the door, he smiled brightly: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to bother you today! Where's my brother?"
As he spoke, through the crack in the door, he saw his dear brother Fanzi watering the vegetable garden... As if noticing his gaze, Gu Xingfan shouted impatiently, "What are you standing there for? Come in!"
As soon as Li Mingcheng came in, he went up to Gu Xingfan, rolled up his sleeves, and helped watering and fertilizing. Lin Yanbai went back to the kitchen and started working. The vegetables and meat were already prepared, and they just had to start stir-frying!
The aroma from the kitchen continued, each wave stronger than the last, like a hook designed to lure people and gods, making Gu Xingfan and Li Mingcheng swallow their saliva.
"Brother, sister-in-law's cooking skills are good. I can tell from the smell that it is as good as Aunt Shen's, it's definitely not bad!"
"Stop talking, wait a minute..." Gu Xingfan was interrupted by Li Mingcheng before he could finish his words.
"Brother, you are wrong. I was just praising my sister-in-law's cooking skills. Why are you asking me to shut up? Besides, do you think my sister-in-law's cooking is not delicious?" Li Mingcheng spoke righteously with an expression that said, "Let me see what you have to say," which made Gu Xingfan want to punch her.
"...When did I tell you to shut up? I meant to save the compliments for now. Your sister-in-law loves to hear them. Tell her about them at the dinner table later!"
“…Hehehe, so that’s it!” Li Mingcheng scratched the back of his head. Isn’t this embarrassing!
As they were talking, Lin Yanbai's voice came from the kitchen, calling Gu Xingfan to serve the dishes. Gu Xingfan asked Li Mingcheng to sit down and hurried to the kitchen to help.
Because Li Mingcheng can be said to be Gu Xingfan's best and only good friend since childhood, when entertaining her family, Lin Yanbai did not hide anything and showed off all her specialties.
And she noticed last time at Gu's house that Li Mingcheng and Gu Xingfan were both meat lovers, and their chopsticks were only used to enjoy the meat dishes at the table.
So this time she also prepared a few more meat dishes, including braised pork, shredded beef with ginger, deep-fried pork slices, braised eggplant, and smashed cucumber. Finally, she placed a stir-fried whole chicken in the middle of the table. She also made some extra egg drop soup and served a bowl to each person.
As for the staple food, it was the big white steamed buns that Gu Xingfan bought at the state-owned restaurant early that morning. After all, if these two grown men were to pull noodles, Lin Yanbai would probably break his arms! Steamed buns were still the best way to fill yourself up with rice!
Lin Yanbai likes spicy food, so she would add more chili peppers when cooking, but it unexpectedly suited the tastes of both of them. After a while, Li Mingcheng, in particular, listened to his brother very much and started praising Lin Yanbai.
"Sister-in-law, this chicken is incredibly authentic and delicious. It doesn't have any fishy smell at all, and it falls off the bone as soon as you bite into it... And the beef, combined with the aroma of the shredded ginger, doesn't overpower the beef's own aroma, but also has a slight spicy kick from the shredded ginger. It's a steal... And the smashed cucumber..."
"...Ahem, that's almost done, hurry up and eat!" Gu Xingfan couldn't help but frown as he listened to this guy commenting on each dish like a gourmet. It was a mistake for his family to send him to be a policeman. He wasn't suited to this line of work, really...
"Brother, where's the wine? It's been a while since we last had dinner together. Two glasses?"
Hearing this, Gu Xingfan looked at Lin Yanbai. Seeing that his wife had no objection, he stood up happily and took out two small bottles of white wine from the cupboard in the living room...
After three rounds of drinking, Li Mingcheng's face flushed red. Suddenly, he straightened up and fell on Gu Xingfan's shoulder. Gu Xingfan couldn't help but sigh: This guy, his alcohol tolerance is still so poor, he keeps asking for a drink even though he can't.
Gu Xingfan had no choice but to put his arm around his shoulders and gently help him up. Seeing that this guy looked like he couldn't go back.
"Wife, seeing how drunk Chengzi is, let him rest at our house tonight!"
"Okay, I just changed the bed sheets in the guest room. I'll also get a basin and put it next to the bed. If he wants to vomit, he can just vomit in the basin!"
After moving the unconscious drunk Li Mingcheng back to the guest room, Gu Xingfan was slightly out of breath. This brat is quite heavy!
The couple cleaned up the mess on the table and found some fried chicken left, which was perfect for making noodles the next morning.
Gu Xingfan has already started washing the dishes on his own initiative. The division of labor in their family has always been clear: she cooks and he washes the dishes. It couldn't be fairer!
Lin Yanbai brewed a pot of tea. Although Gu Xingfan was fine, he had drunk a lot after all, so he needed to drink some tea to help him get rid of the alcohol!
Just as Lin Yanbai was making tea, Mr. Li, who was supposed to be sleeping in the guest room, suddenly ran out, stood behind Lin Yanbai, and said softly:
"So you're here!"
The sudden voice scared Lin Yanbai so much that he almost dropped the teacup in his hand. When he saw that it was Li Mingcheng, he finally let out a sigh of relief!
