As soon as Liu Xiangru finished speaking, Zhou Zheng opened the sliding door of the kitchen and walked out.
When Liu Xiangru saw the person coming, she couldn't help but wonder: "You don't cook?"
"Han Chen is being promoted," Zhou Zheng said.
"He can do it?" Liu Xiangru was shocked.
"Yes, I think the movements are quite skillful."
Liu Xiangru still refused to believe it, "Is it true?"
"Won't you know after he finishes cooking and trying it?" Liu Chengyun said.
Liu Xiangru glanced at Zhou Zheng with dissatisfaction, "After all, they are still guests, and the more you order them around, the more comfortable they become."
Liu Chengfu said, "Isn't he your future son-in-law? What's wrong with Lao Zhou ordering him around?"
Liu Xiangru glared at Liu Chengfu again: "He's just a doctor, a PhD, and you're just being so arrogant."
"If you can't help laughing, don't even enter our Liu family." Liu Chengfu said.
"Why is it the door to the Liu family?" Liu Xiangru asked, "It should be the door to the Zhou family."
Liu Chengfu said shamelessly: "Momo is not Lao Zhou's child alone. If I hadn't seen that Lao Zhou's family had no one left and wanted to give him a blood relative, I would definitely give Momo the surname Liu."
Zhou Mo: “…”
This was the first time Zhou Mo heard of this.
"Brother, please stop fanning the flames," Liu Chengyun said, "Momo finding a boyfriend is a good thing anyway. Please don't make things difficult for them."
Liu Chengfu glared at Liu Chengyun with disdain, "Where are you going with your elbow?"
Liu Chengyun smiled and said, "I'll go see how good my new son-in-law's cooking skills are."
As he spoke, he entered the kitchen.
Liu Chengfu pointed at Liu Chengyun's back and said helplessly: "Look at your second brother, he must be itching to show off his skills again."
"Let him show off," Liu Xiangru said, "as long as the food he makes tastes good."
In the kitchen.
When Liu Chengyun came in, Han Chen had just fried a dish of stir-fried celery.
"Second uncle," Han Chen greeted him and took some water to wash the pot.
Liu Chengyun leaned over to glance at the steaming dish on the plate. "The color is okay. Is the sauce not thickened? The color is too light, which will easily make people lose their appetite."
Han Chen: “…”
Liu Chengyun rolled up his sleeves and said, "Come on, let me do it."
He took the pot directly from Han Chen, skillfully cleaned it, set the pot up again, and lit the fire to heat the oil.
When the oil was slightly smoking, he said, "Food cooked over a high fire is the most fragrant, especially in the countryside where wood stoves cook the most delicious food."
Zhou Zheng originally planned to stir-fry a dish of beef with green onions. On the table, beef, onions and various side dishes were all prepared.
Liu Chengyun knew what dish to cook without Han Chen telling him. He first stir-fried the beef to dry up the blood and water, and then added some starch water to make the beef more tender.
Liu Chengyun came and went freely in front of the stove, as if this was his world.
Soon, Liu Chengyun cooked the stir-fried beef with green onions. He also took a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Han Chen, "Try it."
Han Chen looked at him doubtfully, then took the chopsticks and picked up a piece. The tender beef and soft onion melted in his mouth and were full of freshness and fragrance.
"It's delicious," Han Chen said.
Liu Chengyun served the dishes and rewashed the wok. "I've been a chef for ten years. My greatest skill isn't cooking, it's knife skills."
He turned to look at Han Chen, "Before I became a chef, I worked in a slaughterhouse butchering cattle, sheep, and pigs. Have you ever seen how sheep are slaughtered?"
Han Chen didn't understand why Liu Chengyun suddenly talked about this with him. He said ignorantly, "I haven't seen him before."
"Unlike slaughtering cattle and pigs, slaughtering a sheep involves tying up three hooves, hanging it on a rack, shearing the wool from its neck, and severing its trachea and carotid artery with a single knife," Liu Chengyun quipped. "You're a doctor, you know all this. It should be similar to how you doctors perform surgery, right?"
"..." Han Chen said: "Doctors save lives, not kill them."
Liu Chengyun smiled and said, "I used to work in a slaughterhouse, and I could finish cutting the meat from a pig in less than half an hour."
Han Chen was still confused, feeling that Liu Chengyun was not telling him these things for no reason.
He asked, "Second Uncle, if you want to say something, just say it."
Liu Chengyun smiled and said, "I don't have much to say. Since you're a doctor, I just wanted to ask you a question. How long do you think it takes to remove all the flesh from a person?"
Han Chen suddenly felt a chill on his back.
"Just a joke," Liu Chengyun patted Han Chen's shoulder, but the smile on his face gradually disappeared and his expression became serious.
"There were a lot of people outside just now, and my eldest brother was there too. There are some things I can't say in front of so many people, but I still have to say what I need to say," Liu Chengyun said with a serious face. "We in the Liu family are all rough people. We can't be as educated as you, but we still understand right and wrong, good and bad. We are all honest people, but honesty doesn't mean we can be easily bullied by outsiders. Although we may be a family in the future, I have to say it out loud. If you dare to be as bastard as Guo Zhong..."
Liu Chengyun pulled out the kitchen knife from the knife rack and chopped it on the chopping board.
"Bang——" a piece of pork belly with distinct fat and lean parts was cut in half.
"Human flesh is no different from pig flesh," Liu Chengyun asked, "Do you understand?"
Han Chen didn't answer. Instead, he frowned and asked, "Who is Guo Zhong?"
Liu Chengyun was stunned for a moment, "You don't know Guo Zhong? Didn't Momo's mother tell you?"
Han Chen shook his head, "No."
"Guo Zhong is Xia Xia's ex-husband. He had a mistress outside and was violent at home," Liu Chengyun said with a dark face. "If you dare to bully Momo in the future, I, as your uncle, will come to your door with a knife. Guo Zhong is an example."
Only then did Han Chen understand Liu Chengyun's thoughts.
"Uncle, don't worry, I will never bully her." Zhou Mo's slight complaint made him so distressed. How could he possibly do such a thing? "If I lay a hand on Momo, I would chop off my own hand without you."
Han Chen said seriously, "I know how lucky I am to be able to marry her. I haven't let her go for ten years. This fate finally fell upon me, how could I possibly ruin it myself?"
"I hope you remember what you said."
"Yes."
"Crash", the kitchen door was opened.
Liu Xiangru looked at the two people in a serious mood and asked, "What are you two doing? Why aren't you cooking again?"
Liu Chengyun smiled and said, "Let's cook it right away. Let's cook it right away. Didn't we discuss what to cook with Han Chen?"
Liu Xiangru: "You're a chef, and you don't know what to cook?"
Liu Chengyun responded with a chuckle.
Liu Xiangru pulled Han Chen out and said, "Han Chen, go and roll out the dumpling wrappers with Momo. She's complaining about her hands hurting again. Go and take her place."
"good."
Han Chen came out of the kitchen and didn't see Zhou Mo in the restaurant.
Zhou Zheng pointed to the living room and said, "She's rolling something on the coffee table. There's not enough space here."
The square dining table was not big, with one side against the wall. The table was filled with wrapped dumplings, and there was really no place for Zhou Mo to put the chopping board for rolling the dough.
Han Chen walked into the living room.
Zhou Mo squatted beside the coffee table, watching TV while rolling out dumpling wrappers.
"Let me help you," he reached out and took the rolling pin from Zhou Mo's hand.
Zhou Mo handed it to him and stood up to sit on the sofa. "It's a good thing you helped me. My legs are numb from squatting, and my palms are sore and painful."
